Chapter 124: Exposed
On a wild path, a lone traveler walked out, wearing a dark color dress and a hat, and his face could not be seen clearly, and his whereabouts came to an independent house secretly. The door of the house was hidden, and in the gloomy hall, an old man with a stiff figure was drinking tea alone.
After the hatsman came in. The old man said, "Coming?"
The hatsman replied, "Here we are!"
The old man didn't say anything more, only handed over a small wooden sign.
The hatsman took the wooden sign and wrote the words "Li Zizhan" with a pen.
Li Zizhan is the head of the Qingcheng faction and a famous chivalrous man. Why did the man write his name? The old man didn't ask.
The old man took the wooden card, glanced at it, and wrote four words under Li Zizhan's name: "Golden Ten Thousand Taels".
The hatsman handed the old man a silver ticket, and the old man took it and said, "It's still half there." ”
The hatsman hesitated for a moment and said, "Our lord didn't expect it to be so expensive, so he only gave me five thousand taels, can you be accommodating?"
The old man said: "The head of the house is at this price, and we won't accept it if it's low." ”
The hatsman said, "Okay, I'll pay the other half when I go back and report it." ”
The old man shook his head and said, "I will wait for you, and I will pay the full fee before I do anything, and I will not pay any credit." After saying that, he picked up the wooden card, and there was no trace of friendship on his gloomy face, and he didn't say a word to the hatholder.
The hatsman shook his head, left the hall, and went on his own. He was the messenger of the Ecstasy Sect, because the Qingcheng faction never bought the account of the Ecstasy Sect, and the sect leader only spent five thousand taels of gold to buy his life. When the deal failed, he rushed back to Huangniu Mountain, and needed the advice of the high sect leader to spend another five thousand taels of gold.
After the hats left, the old man walked into a secret room, where there were a few dim candles, and there was a brand rack against the gable, and a name plate was on the shelf. Most of those famous brands have been crossed with red paint, if anyone in the rivers and lakes sees them, they should know that those names that have been crossed with red are masters who disappeared from the rivers and lakes not long ago. At the bottom of each brand, there is a corresponding price code, which varies according to the difficulty of the assassination.
There were still seven nameplates left without red crosses, and six of them were the names of the six members of the Whirlwind team, each with a silver fifty thousand under their name. It seems that here the Whirlwind team six is equivalent.
On the name card shelf, there is also a name plate lying on the side, which says Mei Ruxue is 100,000 gold. The people of Peach Blossom Valley are really precious. A whirlwind team is worth 50,000 silver for a life, but a plum Ruxue is worth 100,000 gold. Who spent 100,000 gold to buy out Mei Ruxue's life? Of course, it was Mrs. Yu, and others didn't have so much money and no such hatred. Who was angry at the lives of the Whirlwind Team for many years? Of course, it was Yu Gongzi and Miss Yu, who designed the Whirlwind Team in the early stage and paid 300,000 taels of silver one after another.
The old man put Li Zizhan's name card on the name shelf in reverse, this is their usual practice, and they need to pay enough money for the name brand to come over and the killer to send out. The other party intends to make a deal, and if he can't pay the full amount for a while, he will put it on hold for the time being, and then let the headquarters send a killer when the expenses are full.
This is a point of contact for the clouds, and the old man is a liaison. The Hatsman's whereabouts were finally discovered by the Whirlwind Team, and they followed them to Ox Mountain, and then back to the independent house.
Although the Whirlwind team didn't know the situation inside, they knew that the Ecstasy Sect was doing business with Qi Swallowing Thousands of Miles, and the liaison officer would go to the headquarters to report the task after taking over the business. Their goal is to keep an eye on this liaison and find the nest that swallows the clouds.
The old man's whereabouts were very strange, and the whirlwind team was very difficult to follow, but what surprised them the most was not the old man's ability to hide and sneak, but that he went all the way north, actually crossed the Song-Mongolian border, crossed the Yellow River, and did not stop advancing until he was in the Helan Mountains. That is to say, like the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce, they do business in Jiangnan. but the foundation is in the north.
The Pingnan Chamber of Commerce, Qi Swallowing Thousands of Clouds, and Ecstasy Sect are actually the same qi, and only the royal authorities of Hara and Lin know the intricate relationship. That is to say, their roots are all rooted in the ears of the Great Cracker, and their purpose is to destroy and control the southern martial arts, harvest wealth, and shake the foundation of the south.
After the whirlwind team discovered this situation, they were in a bit of a dilemma: should they fight or not? Do they move or do they not move? Since its foundation is rooted in Helan Mountain, the depth of its foundation may be beyond imagination, and if one does not do it well and alarms the entire grassland, the whirlwind team will not be able to fly back to the south even if it is inserted. But in order to pursue the nest that swallows thousands of miles, they have already suffered a lot, tracking for thousands of miles, and it takes a lot of effort, how can they give up halfway?
The six of them repeatedly consulted, repeatedly combined, and attacked with the strength of Dongfang Wagyu Fat, while Li Murong, Nangong Ying, and Hua Qianqian were relatively cautious, believing that they could only outwit and not be able to defeat them. Nangong Hao has always been rude, he doesn't care if he is in danger or not, since he is here, he will turn him upside down.
In the end, everyone adopted Li Murong and Nangong Ying's proposal, infiltrated with makeup, found out the situation, and moved the camera.
They observed for a few days, and found that the killers did not usually look at each other, but were all dressed in dark clothes, black hats, collars raised high, and black masks on their faces. They also designed according to this image, each prepared a set of costumes, and planned to infiltrate the killer's headquarters, looking for an opportunity to surprise him with a sudden blow, and then retreat with one blow regardless of victory or defeat.
On the periphery of the headquarters, everyone is dressed the same, the same is silent, and it is not easy to be discovered. But each killer has a number and a fixed residence, which cannot be pretended, so it is easy to turn around during the day and difficult to hide at night. At night, the killers returned to their respective battalions. There are five battalions in total, and each battalion is divided into several sub-battalions. The No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 battalions of Xiangqizi are all top-level killers with the highest salary. The Yunzi Battalion is the most basic organization, the Yunzi No. 3 Battalion is basically still in the training stage, and everyone who enters the killer organization can only enter the Lizi Battalion to become the lowest-level killer only after entering the training of the Yunzi No. 3 Battalion, or enter the Yunzi No. 1 Battalion and the No. 2 Battalion to become the headquarters guard, and if the Lizi Battalion killer participates in the task many times and performs well, he can be promoted to the Wanzi Battalion. The Swallowing Word Camp is already very strong, but the top killers are all in the Qi Word Camp.
Such a huge organization is definitely not something that the Whirlwind Team can shake. They are intent on withdrawing and reporting to the Valley of Escape, waiting for the alliance to deal with it. But they didn't have time to get out.
"Hey, which battalion are you from?" they walked past a camp, and a commander-level killer questioned them.
The Whirlwind team couldn't answer, so they had to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Patrol killers occupy a large proportion of the headquarters that swallows thousands of clouds, and killers who do not take on tasks have training or patrol tasks every day.
"Are you from the Cloud Word Battalion?" the commander asked.
"Yes! We are from the No. 2 Battalion of Yunzi. Nangong Hao replied.
"What? you're from the Second Battalion, come here!" the commander's gaze was already a little unfriendly. It turned out that he was the commander of the No. 2 Battalion of Yunzi, and Nangong Hao responded indiscriminately, but he didn't expect Li Gon to meet Li Kui's fake black whirlwind and be bearded and couldn't blind anyone.
Sure enough, as they got closer, the commander stared at them and said, "You are from the second battalion of Yunzi, why haven't I seen you?" Do you know who I am?"
The six of them looked at each other, and naturally no one knew who he was.
"Who knows who you are?" Niu Feifei said, "We are in the No. 2 Battalion of Yunzi, why do we need to know who you are?"
The commander said unceremoniously: "Because I am the commander of the No. 2 Battalion of Yunzi, and I am in charge of the No. 2 Battalion of Yunzi, of course you should know who I am." You don't know, that's a spy!"
It's exposed, it's completely exposed, and the whirlwind team can't hide it anymore. The commander sneered a few times, and then said, "In this Helan Mountain, all those who swallow thousands of miles and clouds in my anger use swords. I saw that your weapons had knives and guns, and I thought you had a problem, and you were still sticking onions in your nose in front of me—pretending to be an elephant!" he said and quickly drew his sword, and the attendant next to him sounded the alarm in a loud voice.
Li Murong and the others glanced at each other, like meteors passing by, and hunted down the commander Jiuqi's entourage. This is the only choice, if you want to run out, you will inevitably be blocked by them, delay time, and kill them to run away more simply. The commander was dead, he never thought that these few people who looked like novices would suddenly attack, and they would be so ferocious, and he would already be in a different place before he had time to perform his tricks. Those entourages couldn't struggle a few times, they were all novices who had just left the No. 3 Battalion of Yunzi, how could they fight against the Whirlwind Team?
The obstacle to retreat was cleared, and the Whirlwind team breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they walked fast, it was still possible to get rid of this gang of killers. As long as you go out first and come back to deal with them, it is a wide sea with a fish jumping, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and the initiative is in my hands. But as soon as the alarm sounded, the camp was in turmoil, and killers from all directions were coming, and they had already surrounded the whirlwind team at the core.
