Chapter 420: Assassination (I)

"What is this, why does it stink so much?" Haha people are tall and crowded at the front, but as soon as they enter the door, they are smoked by the stench.

Huang Ji and Fang Ying looked back and smiled, and Huang Ji said with a smile: "It seems that the dosage of this 'Wuhuang Pill' is indeed a little larger, and we will have to open the door later to spread the stench." ”

However, at this time, Hongyun also came over. She didn't know what was going on here, and she wanted to go straight to the alchemy.

Before he could walk in, Hongyun looked at the "Three Hip-Hop Brothers" standing at the door with a strange expression, thinking that they were doing something ghostly, so he asked with a straight face: "What are you three doing, what are you doing here?"

The "Three Hip-Hop Brothers" didn't answer, and every time they saw Hongyun with such a straight face, they didn't know how to answer. Finally, the hippie couldn't help but say, "Miss Red Cloud, you ...... What are you doing here?"

"Get firewood—" Hongyun said loudly, "There's no firewood in the kitchen, I'll come over to the pharmacy and have a look...... Get out of the way—" Hongyun said as he saw that Haha's big body blocked the entire door, so he pushed it open.

Haha didn't dare to take Hongyun what to do, he was still standing at the door at the beginning and was stunned, but he didn't expect that Hongyun would have such a strong force at this time, and pushed himself away......

"Ahh Hongyun himself didn't expect that he would be smothered like this, and the whole person was almost stunned.

"Why is it so stinky, what's going on inside?" Covering his nose, he asked loudly.

Fang Ying saw that before she had time to tell Hongyun, she let Hongyun also take a move, and couldn't help laughing: "Hehehe." I'm sorry Sister Hongyun, I didn't tell you in advance, Brother Huang Ji and I will deal with it later......"

"Really, all these unfortunate things happened today...... Hongyun complained casually.

Huang Ji thought for a while, returned to the topic, and said, "By the way, Sister Ying, you just saw the content of the letter, do you know my step-father's next move?"

Fang Ying then remembered that there was something to do. So he immediately nodded and responded: "Well, I know-the people of the beggar gang have indeed secretly found evidence of collusion between officials and thieves, and it will be a moment tonight." The people of the government will connect with the previous gang of thieves in the area of Tiangong Mountain, and the beggars will ambush there and prepare a pot to serve their stronghold of hiding and trading stolen money. It's time for the beggars, and I think the beggars should have started to act by now......"

"No wonder Uncle Xue and Elder Chang are in such a hurry......" Huang Ji held his chin and thought about it. Then he said. "If you want to help my stepfather deal with this matter, the only chance is tonight. It seems that I also have to go to Tiangong Mountain. ”

"Brother Huang Ji, are you going to Tiangong Mountain?" Hongyun couldn't help but ask when he heard the conversation between the two.

"Hmm-" Huang Ji nodded affirmatively, "Although it is dangerous to sneak into the trading location, I am afraid that I will only have this chance to help my father-in-law......

"But Brother Huang Ji, you're gone, and Big Brother Canglong isn't here, who will take care of Sister Ying?" Hongyun asked again.

"This ...... It seems to be a problem as well......" Huang Ji listened to Hongyun's words. Some of them are starting to get into trouble. After all, the danger of the Ghost King Master had not been eliminated yet, and Canglong and Huang Ji had to have at least one person by Fang Ying's side to protect her. Now Canglong is gone. If Huang Ji is gone, then Fang Ying will be more dangerous.

Fang Ying pondered for a while, and then said to Huang Ji: "I have a way...... Otherwise, Brother Huang Ji, will you take me with you?"

"What did you say?" asked Huang Ji in disbelief.

Fang Ying continued: "Since I can't leave Brother Huang Ji or Brother Canglong, and Brother Huang Ji, you want to help your father-in-law so much, then why don't I go with you-"

"No-" Huang Ji heard this, and immediately stopped, "Tiangong Mountain must be dangerous tonight, maybe there will be a bloody battle, Sister Ying, if you accompany me, it will definitely be unsafe......"

"But if I stay here alone, it will be more unsafe-" Fang Ying cast a pleading look at Huang Ji and said softly, "I believe in you, Brother Huang Ji, you are by my side, I am not afraid of anything-"

"Sister Ying......" Looking at Fang Ying's moving eyes, Huang Ji seemed to be a little soft-hearted, and after thinking for a while in a daze, Huang Ji said loosely, "Okay, I promise you...... But I said in advance, I'll take you there, and you have to listen to me, otherwise you'll get into unnecessary trouble at that time. ”

When Fang Ying heard this, she happily hugged Huang Ji and said, "Great, Brother Huang Ji, I know that you are the best-"

Huang Ji was still a little uncomfortable, he didn't expect Fang Ying to be so active and enthusiastic. The beauty took the initiative to give her a hug, but it was the first time for Huang Ji to be hugged tightly by Fang Ying, and her face was half red.

Hongyun listened to the discussion between the two, but he was still a little uneasy. Her eyes wrinkled slightly, as if she had something in mind......

After Fang Ying let go of Huang Ji, Huang Ji coughed twice and said, "Ahem-I think about it, this time I will take Sister Ying to Tiangong Mountain, you have to dress up in disguise...... It just so happened that yesterday I kept the night clothes of those black-clothed people under the Ghost King Division, and the two of us will change into them later, so that it will be safer to move at night-"

"Well, I listened to Brother Huang Ji—" Fang Ying continued to laugh again.

Hongyun thought for a moment, didn't say anything more, and continued to walk towards the pharmacy.

Seeing that Hongyun had just been smoked out by the stench, and now that he was going in again, Hippie couldn't help asking, "Miss Hongyun, are you...... What are you doing in there?"

Hongyun glanced at the hippie and teased, "Of course, it's the firewood used for dinner—otherwise, refining medicine?"

"You...... Aren't you afraid of stink?" asked the hippie again.

Seeing that the hippie asked this and that, Hongyun crossed his hands on his hips and said, "Then what should I do? I won't go to get firewood, otherwise you will be hungry at night?"

Hippie saw Hongyundu's "like this" expression, so he didn't ask any more. And Hongyun also entered the room and didn't pay any more attention to the "Three Hip-Hop Brothers......

Huang Ji looked up at the sky, and said to Fang Ying: "It's not too early." We need to act quickly, it may be too late to finish. The clothes are in the pharmacy, and I showed them to Uncle Xue just now. Later, Sister Ying, you can pick one and put it on—"

Fang Ying nodded, and then together with Huang Ji, he also prepared to enter the pharmacy.

At this time, Hongyun came out with firewood and was about to send it to the kitchen. Hongyun saw that Huang Ji and Fang Ying were about to "act", and after thinking for a while, he still said to them: "I have to go out to buy vegetables later, and it is not easy to buy vegetables at night." Maybe I'll be back later...... But the most important thing is the two of you, it must be dangerous for officials and thieves to meet on Tiangong Mountain. Maybe there are people from the Ghost King Master secretly spying on you, so you have to be very careful-"

"Don't worry, Miss Hongyun, I'll protect Sister Ying—" Huang Ji said confidently.

Fang Ying saw it. He also said, "Yes." Sister Hongyun, you just cook at home and wait for us to come back, we'll be fine-"

Hongyun nodded slowly, but still cast a worried glance at Huang Ji and Fang Ying. After quickly sending the firewood back to the kitchen, Hongyun also left the courtyard and went out to buy groceries......

After entering the pharmacy, Huang Ji and Fang Ying quickly changed into night clothes. However, after changing clothes. Huang Ji seemed to look at the clothes on the ground with a little doubt, and said casually: "It's strange......"

"What's wrong?" Fang Ying saw Huang Ji with a puzzled expression. I couldn't help but ask.

Huang Ji looked at the dozens of night clothes on the ground, and asked alone: "I received the clothes of these black-clothed people yesterday, and I remember the numbers very clearly, why is there one less today?"

"Huh?" Fang Ying didn't expect Huang Ji to still pay attention to this at this time, and then she said, "It should be Brother Huang Ji, you remember wrong, so many clothes ......"

"I can't be mistaken, yesterday and today, I counted three times, and it was always right before, but now there is one less piece of clothing...... Huang Ji said to himself, "Could it be that Uncle Xue took it away when I showed Uncle Xue and them the clothes just now...... It's impossible--Uncle Xue wouldn't tell me if he wanted to take it, and when he left, he saw the clothes in his hands. What's more, it's not like there are no night clothes in the beggar gang, if they need night clothes for tonight operation...... Could it be that an outsider broke in during the day today?"

"If an outsider breaks in, Brother Huang Ji, how could you not notice that you are at home one day?" Fang Ying also analyzed.

"I've been taking care of Nini in the backyard today, and it's ......not impossible to say that I didn't notice an outsider's intrusion," Huang Ji closed his eyes and thought quietly.

Fang Ying saw that Huang Ji was still thinking about this problem at this juncture, so she immediately reminded: "Okay, don't forget tonight's important matter, one less piece of clothing is one less piece, and it's not a big matter of human life?"

Huang Ji nodded and said softly, "Hmm...... Let's hope nothing happens......"

Subsequently, Huang Ji and Fang Ying changed into night clothes and explained to the "Three Hip Hop Brothers", asking them to keep their homes with Hongyun, who came back from shopping for vegetables later, and waited for them to come back, and then the two left quickly, preparing to go to Tiangong Mountain at night......

The winter days are as short as a gap, and the time has not yet come, and it is already dark......

Tonight's Juming City Prime Minister's Mansion, the figures are crowded, and due to the strong wind tonight, the guards' torches sway violently in the cold wind. The rolling cold wind and the dancing flames indicate that the Xiangfu will not be calm tonight......

The prime minister's mansion in Juming City is a little different from other places, the prefect's bedroom is above the city tower, and the stairs downstairs are strictly guarded by many soldiers. After all, it is a border city, and the border passes in ancient times often face foreign invasions, although the border passes of the Mengyuan court have not yet burned too many wars, but this habit has been retained for hundreds of years......

And today's prefect's soldiers are also different from the past, each of them put on a stern face, and the sound of neat and orderly steps can be heard from time to time on the stairs, giving people a sense of oppression. In the room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the lights are not as bright as in the past tonight......

Outside the room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chief Long, who had inspected the dungeon before, was mobilizing a team of people on the city tower at this moment, as if he was instructing something......

In the cold wind, Chief Long said loudly, "Tonight you will go to Tiangong Mountain and make peace with those robbers. Remember, after the money is in hand, leave Tiangong Mountain and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible. If there are beggars and disciples who come to stop those robbers halfway, you will lie that you are also coming to Tiangong Mountain to search for criminals, and you are not clear...... "It turns out that Chief Long is explaining to his subordinates that he will go to Tiangong Mountain tonight to meet with the robbers and share the spoils......

After Chief Long finished explaining the affairs, the group of men and horses began to move quickly and headed for Tiangong Mountain...... After dealing with his subordinates, Chief Long immediately turned around and knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion's room.

"Come in—" The voice of Prime Minister Song Lianxun came from inside.

"My lord—" Chief Long entered the room, tiptoed the door shut, and then said, "I have already explained those people, and I am ready to deal with those robbers...... But sir, do you really want to leave tonight, without waiting for the rest of the money to come back?"

I saw that Song Lianxun was hurriedly packing his luggage and packages, as if he was going to leave here secretly, preparing to flee somewhere. Song Lianxun made a small gesture, and then said, "Be quiet, don't let people outside know......"

Song Lianxun slowly walked in front of Chief Long and whispered: "You don't know, I just received news from Guannei that people from the Mengyuan Imperial Court have sent officials from Henan to inspect here. If I don't leave, I'm probably going to lose my head......"

Chief Long was very puzzled when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, you are the capital of Mingcheng, although your official position is not too big, but you are also an upright official, what are you afraid of?"

Song Lianxun looked around for a while, and then continued to whisper: "You don't know, I offended a lot of people from the government in Henan. Now that they have come to inspect the matter, if they find out that I have colluded with the thieves to loot the people's money, will they not want my life? The looting of the people's property is a trivial matter, the key is to collude with the thieves, and now that the war in the court is continuous, now let them know that we are colluding with the robbers, and their heads will definitely be in danger -- rest assured, I will only go out for two more days to avoid the limelight, and I will come back after those irresponsible officials have made a sloppy inspection and left...... You can save the money for me tonight and deal with it when I come back. Don't worry, Chief Long, as long as you help me cover up this episode, your benefits will definitely be indispensable when the time comes......"

Chief Long seemed to understand something, and seeing that he could also take advantage of this to get a lot of oil and water, he also showed a disdainful smile......

About a moment later, with the darkness of night, Chief Long sneaked out of the room with Song Lianxun, who had been dressed up a little. In order not to let the soldiers guarding the door suspect, Song Lianxun still let the lights in the room be on.

Since Chief Long often goes in and out of the upper and lower floors of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he is not surprised by the people he follows in Kobe, and these Mengyuan soldiers who are guarding are not surprised; plus the wind is strong tonight, many of the guards are looking at the situation below the city tower, that is, they are facing the room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it is difficult for them to notice any subtle sounds behind. And it was precisely by taking advantage of the cold wind at night that Song Lianxun successfully followed Chief Long down the city tower and left the sight of those guards......

"Great, I finally came out safely......" Song Lianxun said to Chief Long, "Chief Long, Lord Ben will go out and hide for a few days." Don't worry, after this experience, you will definitely be indispensable to the benefits of your Dragon Chief-"

"Yes, thank you, Lord Song...... villain," Chief Long said with a flattering and sly smile again.

"It's safe now, even if the Mengyuan Imperial Court sends someone over, it won't find me......" Song Lianxun was still smug and said, "Hmph, now these officials of the imperial court are irresponsible, and they only come to inspect a few times...... Hmph, my head is saved, and there will be a steady stream of ways to make a fortune in the future......"

"Really?" Suddenly, a man's voice appeared in front of Song Lianxun and Chief Long.

Song Lianxun and Chief Long were taken aback at the same time, because so far, only the two of them knew about Song Lianxun's "avoidance".

The two of them looked forward at the same time, only to see that in the haze of the night, a figure with a long knife on his back blocked in front of the two. Due to the darkness of the night, the two could only see the outline of the person's figure, but could not see the face clearly.

"What...... Who is it?" asked Chief Long in fright, drawing his broadsword and trembling with his hands. Song Lianxun was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, and quickly hid behind Chief Long.

"The No. 1 master outside the Guan-Hu Yidi!" The person who came was Hu Yidi, the night gradually brightened with the moonlight, and a man from outside the Guan, who was covered with hanging knives and carried long knives, resolutely stood in front of the two...... (To be continued......)
