Chapter 144: You're My Cover!
The shadow shines on the sky, and the shadow shines on the house.
Today's Yingzhao Mansion is full of lights, and it is completely festive. Especially in front of the main gate of the Shadow Mansion, there are hundreds of stewards and subordinates in the house who came out to greet the guests. They were all smiling, and those expressions were like the word "Xi" written on their faces.
And the huge red word "Shou" hanging in front of the main gate shows the reason why the Shadow Shadow Mansion is so festive today - today, it is the birthday of Yue Fengyun, the lord of the Shadow Shadow Mansion, and it is also the day of his feast guests.
On this day, Huan Yin came to the festive Shadow Mansion, and after taking out the invitation and the gifts prepared in advance, and indicating his identity, he was respectfully invited in by a subordinate of the Shadow Mansion.
The reason why Huan Yin came so early was not that he was really interested in this so-called birthday banquet. After all, in Huan Yin's opinion, Yue Fengyun, the old guy, didn't remember his birthday at all, so he just chose a random day to go through this form.
Huan Yin came early, because he was a subordinate directly under Yue Fengyun on the bright side, and he was personally promoted to the position of deputy general by Yue Fengyun. If he came late, wouldn't he be too disrespectful and unassuming?
After entering the house, there were still few guests. And even the few of them are all people who Huan Yin doesn't know. In addition, it is still too early, and it is naturally impossible for Yue Fengyun or Yue Xiaoxian to come out to greet them in person. So, there was no one to say hello, so Huan Yin simply asked the man to take him to a small deserted garden in the southern corner of the mansion, and sat down at a small stone table in the corner.
The man quickly served tea to Huan Yin, and then Huan Yin also let him go, leaving him alone to drink tea.
Huan Yin sat like this, from morning to noon, he didn't move his buttocks. During this period, with the passage of time, more and more people naturally entered the shadow of the mansion to worship their birthdays, so occasionally people walked into the small garden where Huan Yin was, and there were people who knew Huan Yin coming.
However, Huan Yin remained completely lonely during this period. He drank tea by himself, and occasionally greeted people, but it was obviously the kind of first meeting, courtesy. As for talking, Huan Yin won't take the initiative to talk to anyone, and others don't seem interested in talking to him.
To tell the truth, now that Huan Yin is developing rapidly, he doesn't know how many people he has bought in the entire East for eight days, so how can there be fewer people he really knows today? Huan Yin looked through Yue Fengyun's invitation list and knew that among today's guests, there would be more than 200 real "own people" alone, and as for those "acquaintances" who had a good relationship, there were nearly 300. And among the guests who have arrived now, there are already about twenty acquaintances that Huan Yin has seen.
Therefore, if Huan Yin is willing to mingle with others, maybe he now has a small group of his own, and he is chatting enthusiastically.
However, Huan Yin never did this, because he would never forget that he was a newly promoted deputy general who had only been promoted to the third level in a row, and his entire time in the army was less than a year. If he seems to be familiar with everyone here, or shows that he knows a lot of people, wouldn't it be too strange, for fear that people will be suspicious.
Absolute low-key is the highest criterion for Huan Yin to do things on the bright side today. Because the more low-key he is, the weaker he looks, and the less noticeable he is. In this way, no one will pay attention to him, and his secret operations can be better hidden.
In fact, before coming today, Huan Yin not only had already thought that he would pretend to be lonely like this, but also greeted his "acquaintances", telling them to pretend not to know him and not to talk to him.
However, although Huan Yin looked like he was sitting like that, and he didn't do anything except drink tea, he was actually in secret, but he was moving a lot.
Huan Yin will not forget the purpose of his coming today, which is to kill the father and son of King Boli and Lie Panruo. Therefore, he seems to be drinking tea, but his divine sense is extremely careful to pay attention to everything in the entire Shadow Mansion.
Huan Yin has to figure out the terrain here, whether there are hidden formations or mechanisms, how many guards are hidden, how many people are not familiar with him, and how many strong people there are. The most important thing is that Huan Yin will pay attention to Yue Fengyun and the Great Heavenly King he has not yet met. These two people are the people who Huan Yin feels is most likely to pose a threat to his current self in terms of cultivation. Especially the Great Heavenly King, Huan Yin doesn't know the depth, if he comes today, it will be much more difficult for Huan Yin to succeed.
However, this is also the reason why Huan Yin chose to come to carry out the extermination in person. Because Huan Yin was not only invited by Zhengda Guangming, but his cultivation was really the highest in his army, he made a move, grasped it the most, and the possibility of retreating without being discovered was also the greatest.
As for Huan Yin not bringing helpers, it was because he knew that this operation was not so much an extermination as an assassination, an assassination, and it was to be done by no one else. Therefore, the more people there are, the more likely they are to do bad things.
There are more and more people entering the shadow house. In fact, there are more and more people who Huan Yin recognizes. However, they never crossed paths at all, and as the entire Shadow Mansion's gradually became lively, Huan Yin remained the same, only occasionally getting up politely to greet some people who took the initiative to greet him, and then sat back down.
"It's coming!" At a certain moment, Huan Yin's divine sense detected that a father and son had come to the gate of the Shadow Zhao Mansion, and it was the father and son of King Boli and Lie Panruo.
At this moment, although the King of Boli had a reluctant smile on his face, he obviously looked reluctant to come. However, Lie Panruo's eyes lit up and he was so happy that after sending the invitation and gifts, he couldn't wait to drag his father inside.
"This kid really brought his father together. Huan Yin smiled secretly, and then he immediately withdrew his divine sense from the two fathers and sons, in case the other party noticed the clue.
The target appeared, and Huan Yin had already let go of half of his heart. He knew that now was definitely not the time to do it. When the banquet is lively and the chips are staggered, that is the opportunity he wants.
And now, Huan Yin has also explored the surrounding situation, and at the same time, although his "acquaintances" will not communicate with him openly, they will secretly give him advice and help. Therefore, now that Huan Yin is basically ready, he simply began to close his eyes and recuperate, and his divine consciousness was all collected.
Time passed breathlessly, and Huan Yin slowly calmed himself down, secretly preparing for the next assassination.
Originally, Huan Yin thought that maybe he could go all the way to the dinner party and wait directly until the host's family came out to meet the guests. But not long after, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder and shouted, "Chief Xue Wu, you are really here!"
Huan Yin was slightly surprised, thinking that the person who called him like this must be an acquaintance. But hasn't he already said hello and asked any acquaintances not to take the initiative to approach him?
Then, Huan Yin quickly felt a clear contempt in this person's title. Although this person seemed to be excited and happy to see him, he addressed him as "Wu Chang" rather than "Adjutant General". And this person bites the word "Wu Chang" very hard, as if deliberately emphasized.
When he opened his eyes, Huan turned his head in surprise, but when he looked at it, he was stunned.
"Lord Lie Panruo, you are here too!" After a while, Huan Yin reacted, and immediately stood up, bowing respectfully to Lie Panruo, but thinking in his heart that he hadn't looked for him yet, why did he take the initiative to find him?
Looking around, Huan Yin didn't see his father beside Lie Panruo, nor did he see any fox friends and dogs - Lie Bangruo actually came alone.
"With Lie Panruo's identity background, even if he has a bad reputation now, as long as he is willing, there will definitely be many people who will scold him. He actually came to me alone, which means that he came to me specifically. Huan Yin quickly gave his own judgment in his heart.
"Chief Xue Wu...... Oh, no, it's supposed to be Vice General Xue by now, you should be here early. Why is it not interesting to stay here alone?" Lie Panruo looked at Huan Yin with a smile, his voice was a little loud, as if he was deliberately trying to attract the attention of others, and to expose Huan Yin's identity as a Wu Chang not long ago.
Huan Yin didn't understand what Lie Panruo was doing, but he didn't care, he just smiled and said: "Back to the adult, the villain is a recruit after all, and his status is low, so that's it...... Pretty good. ”
Huan Yin said while showing a slightly embarrassed look, it seemed that he really didn't have enough qualifications in the army, so he was embarrassed that he hadn't seen a big scene.
Huan Yin wanted to keep a low profile, which just satisfied Lie Panruo's mentality at the moment. When Lie Panruo saw that Huan Yin was like this, he couldn't help showing off, and said: "What are you afraid of? Go, Lord Ben will take you to this shadow mansion for a walk, so that you can see the world and recognize people." I want everyone to know that you're my cover!"
