Chapter 43: Death

The room was full of people, drunken and talking.

"Lord Hou drink one!"

Hou Cheng's staff were toasting him, and several of them were all drunk and red-faced.

"This time Lord Hou can be regarded as a meritorious service! Directly squeeze the guy under the Queen Mother, I'm afraid Lord Fan will reward you tomorrow! ”

"Congratulations, Lord Hou!"

"Lord Hexihou!"

“……”

Listening to these congratulatory voices, Hou Ben himself couldn't laugh.

"Where are the words! Although this time it was Fan Xiang's wish, if he didn't do what Fan Xiang explained next time......"

Hou Cheng didn't say anything halfway through his words, just sighed deeply and drank all the wine in the cup.

Looking at his sad face, the people below probably knew what he was worried about, and the smiles on his faces disappeared.

"Fan Xiang is really."

Seeing that Hou Cheng opened this head first, the rest of the people also started,

"Since Fan Xiang started to go toe-for-tat with the Cining Palace a few months ago, the people under us are miserable, and they have to tense their nerves every day, which is simply too tiring."

"That's right, I don't know when these two will fight, the people under us really can't stand such a toss!"

“……”

Seeing that their remarks were getting bolder and bolder, Hou Cheng also stood up to stop them,

"Don't say it, we are all Fan Xiang's people, it is right to do things for adults, complaining here, if Fan Xiang knows, we will definitely not be able to eat and go around!"

Hearing this, the rest of the people were silent and didn't dare to talk anymore, seeing that the atmosphere was cold, Hou Cheng stood up with support,

"You should be happy today, you...... Drink! I'll go make it easier! ”

Watching today's protagonist leave, Tan Zhen on the roof also gently fell from the roof and silently followed behind Hou Cheng.

Hou Cheng came to the thatched house and was unbuttoning his pants to prepare for convenience, but suddenly saw a shadow on the ground slowly approaching him, which immediately frightened him.

Turning his head suddenly, before he could even shout, a sharp blade cut directly through his throat, and a few mouthfuls of blood gurgled out of his mouth, and he fell directly to the ground.

Tan Zhen watched this scene coldly, and the bloody short blade wiped clean on Hou Cheng's clothes and hid it in his sleeve again.

I didn't expect that the task given by Mr. Zhao would be so simple.

Hou Cheng, the squire of the military department, this name can be crossed off the list.

After completing the task, Tan Zhen no longer stayed, and immediately left the Hou Mansion, and just when he jumped off the wall, he heard a miserable scream from the Hou Mansion.

"Oh no, no, no! Something happened to Lord Hou——! ”

"Come on!"

“……”

After completing the task and having nothing to do, Tan Zhen took the lead in going to the agreed alley and waiting, and it didn't take long for the members of the team to arrive one after another.

"That superintendent surnamed Chen is really disgusting!"

As soon as Gao Hua came back, he couldn't help but complain, "I visited five different Qinglou in one night, his energy is so good!?" ”

"The one I followed was not very good to join the army, I watched him enter the casino and didn't come out all night, and sure enough, what Mr. Zhao asked us to kill was not a good thing!"

“……”

The group discussed the results of their investigation, and seeing that Tan Zhen was silent, Zhou Wen opened his mouth and asked,

"Big brother, how are you doing over there? How is the situation of that soldier? ”

"Already killed."

Tan Zhen said lightly, but his words directly shocked their jaws.

"Big brother, you're too fast, aren't you!? Isn't it just about probing intelligence today, why did you just do it! ”

"Big brother is too powerful!"

"I said, if you have the chance, you can do it directly, anyway, sooner or later you will be killed."

Tan Zhen said, "The task is not as difficult as imagined, although the time given by Manager Zhao is three days, we can't really take three days to complete it." ”

"The other eight squads will also move one after another, and the news of the deaths of the major officials will spread tomorrow, and their guards will be more tightly guarded at that time, so the further back it goes, the more difficult it will be."

"Only today they are defenseless, it is easy to start, if there is a chance, they will complete the task tonight."

Hearing Tan Zhen say this, everyone's expressions became serious.

"Big brother is right."

Gao Hua nodded, "Then we'll keep an eye on it now, and if we have the chance, we can do it directly!" ”

This proposal was well received by everyone, and they decided to take immediate action.

"The task on my side has been completed, do any of you need help, I can join us."

Seeing that they were so motivated, Tan Zhen opened his mouth to propose, but Zhou Wen patted him on the shoulder.

"Big brother, your own task has been completed, go back to the Yongwu Palace to rest, we have also been training with the eldest brother for almost four months."

"Although it is not as good as the eldest brother, it can still be done independently to complete the task, and the eldest brother does not have to worry."

Seeing Zhou Wen say this, Tan Zhen smiled helplessly,

"Then go then, and I will wait for your good news."

After a while, several figures scattered and left, and Tan Zhen didn't intend to interfere in their mission, so he also went back to the Yongwu Palace.

In the early morning of the second day, the members of the first team returned to the Yongwu Hall one after another.

"Hurt?"

Looking at Zhou Wen and his partner Wu Shi, who came back at the end, Tan Zhen suddenly locked onto Zhou Wen's blood-soaked arm.

"No problem!"

Zhou Wen waved his hand, "I didn't expect that to join the army is still a bit of kung fu, I am a little underestimated by the enemy, this time he used a sword to give a moment, but big brother don't worry, people have been killed." ”

"Hurry up and deal with it."

Tan Zhen frowned, although Zhou Wen's injury was unexpected to him, the assassination mission of their first squad had been completed this night.

Early the next morning, news of the deaths of major officials spread throughout the capital.

"What's going on!?"

Fan Shicheng heard the news as soon as he got up, and was so shocked that his teeth were about to fall out, "Who did you say died!?" ”

"Hou Cheng, the squire of the military department, died yesterday in the thatched house of the house, and was stabbed to his throat, in addition to Hou Cheng, there are also the general secretary Lord Liu, the left member of the army Tian, and the right Jinwu Weiran Lord ......"

Lin Xiao reported a long list, and Fan Shicheng's face became more and more ugly.

"That crazy woman in Cining Palace!"

slapped the table violently, Fan Shicheng was furious, "She actually killed so many people under the old man's hands in one go, does she really want to tear her face with the old man?!" ”

"Isn't it that the old man is too gentle these days, so she really thinks that the old man is easy to mess with!?"
