Most of King Yao's army was stationed on the western edge of the Dragon Court, fighting with other princes for control of the ruins, and at the same time building the first line of defense, behind which were the camps of the Xiao Yan clan, the Dragon King, and himself, the three camps were equally distanced, relying on torches and horns to support each other at any time.

Believing that his camp was impregnable, Tosai refused to allow the Dragon King to send someone to protect him, and he had his own way of guarding against the Assassins: the killer liked the darkness, so he "commanded" that darkness never fall.

So in Tosai's camp, the torches kept on all night, as bright as day, and if it rained, he had to make sure that the lights were kept on in the main tents.

This trick could not be said to be ineffective, Gu Shenwei regarded it as an insurmountable obstacle and a test for the twenty young killers.

He and Hu Shining personally led the team, divided the killers into several groups, each group or three or five people, infiltrated the camp of King Yao in batches, left a mark in the farthest place they could reach, and then returned safely without disturbing any sentry.

This is not a thrilling exercise, and the guards of the King of Yao will never show mercy to any killer who reveals his whereabouts, and in case of an incident, the Dragon King will never admit that the killer is his subordinate.

The first few groups returned smoothly, and the last group Gu Shenwei personally participated, with a total of five members, and the leader was Nie Zeng.

This group had the special task of checking the marks left by the previous groups, which meant that they had to go through almost all the routes, and go as far as they could.

Sneaking directly into the target area is actually very risky, Gu Shenwei rarely takes this kind of means, he prefers to use external forces to give himself a ride, such as following the Xiao Yan clan into the palace, but infiltrating is the basic skill of the killer, and he has never been unfamiliar with the choice when he has no choice.

Nie Zeng and several other teenagers showed maturity, and they didn't say a word during the whole process, everyone knew their location, and when they encountered extremely complex road conditions, they could naturally switch formations to ensure that there would be no blind spots for observation.

The marks left by the first few groups of killers were very simple, carving deep marks on a certain torch, and everyone's results were about the same, and the farthest group that sneaked into was still a stone's throw away from King Yao's sleeping tent, with many tents in between, and there was no way to even throw hidden weapons.

The torch is a threat to the killer, but it is not as effective as the Yao King Torsai imagined, the so-called "bright as day" is just a description, even if it is a real blue sky and white sky, it will leave many shadows and become a hiding place for the killer.

The most immediate threat is people, and the endless stream of patrolling soldiers is the obstacle that discourages the killers.

But the tightest patrols have loopholes, the soldiers repeat themselves on the same route, and over time their attention becomes more and more distracted, and eventually the patrol becomes habitual, and almost no one bothers to look around, and sometimes a large living person simply stands still and does not even attract attention.

Pinning the hope of safe infiltration on the fatigue and laxity of the patrol soldiers is of course very risky, but with careful observation and enough patience, the risk will be minimized.

Gu Shenwei has planned and carried out many assassination attempts, and from day one he has learned that there is no perfect plan in this world, and the good news is that there are no infallible goals in this world.

Planning is like drawing a red line on a map, pointing out the direction, determining the strategy, you have to rely on it, but when you really take a walk, you have to adjust the route according to the actual terrain at any time, this is experience and intuition, and you can never plan in advance.

Good killers know how to find loopholes and exploit them, and in this regard, teachers can only provide limited help.

Nie Zeng proved that he was a qualified killer leader, successfully finding the marks carved by the previous groups of killers, and then he had to prove that he was excellent.

Gu Shenwei didn't make any requests for this infiltration, and it was all up to Nie Zeng to decide on the spot, so when the young man sneaked into the sleeping tent of King Yaoyao, he accompanied the other three killers.

It was the darkest moment before dawn, and it was usually the time when the patrolling soldiers were most relaxed, Nie Zeng chose an opportune time, but the distance of a stone's throw still took nearly two quarters of an hour, and the five killers were already quite close to the main tent, and even the vague figures sleeping in the tent could be seen.

The safe position is constantly changing, and the five killers can only stay for a short time, enough to launch a quick assassination attempt, but not enough to observe more.

Nie Zeng didn't move, and for a moment, it seemed as if he was really going to cut through the tent and rush in to kill the Yue Yao King, whom he was not familiar with at all.

Gu Shenwei could even feel the nervousness of the other three teenage killers rising suddenly.

At the last moment before the patrol soldiers appeared, Nie Zeng turned into a retreat route.

It was the only accident of the night, and although it was fleeting and didn't cause any trouble, Gu Shenwei still felt the need to correct it.

Back at the Dragon Army camp, Hu Shining comprehended the Dragon King's hints, and after commenting on the performance of each group of killers, he left Nie Zeng alone.

Nie Zeng is Hu Shining's most proud apprentice, and he is also the killer who is the most difficult for him to give a comment, Gu Shenwei can understand the entanglement in the heart of the teacher of the Gong, the young man's knife skills are exquisite, and his skills are proficient, even with the most demanding standards, he can't find fault, but his expression is a little wrong.

The killer tries not to attract attention as much as possible, although it is becoming more and more difficult to do this with the expansion of Jinpeng Castle's power, but disguising his sharpness is still one of the compulsory courses for killers, and Gu Shenwei always gets paid attention to every time he meets outsiders for the first time, which is not unrelated.

In Fang Wens' opinion, this was a major flaw, so he had to instill the art of fighting for hegemony to the Dragon King over and over again, hoping to make him add a little bit of overlord aura, but he didn't succeed.

Nie Zeng is different from the killer at this point, he is only in his early sixteens, but his expression is as resolute as a Jianghu Haojie who has experienced vicissitudes, his heart is burning with a vigorous flame, and his eyes occasionally flash, which will leak a blazing light.

Gu Shenwei knew the name of this flame, and he also had one, which was hatred.

Yao Nu is to the Lotus Girl, Chu Yang Qun is to Chu Nanping, Tie Hanfeng is to Tie Linglong, Gu Shen is the personal guard before and after, and there are people who care about the death of the Dragon King, but these three people also love and are loyal to the Dragon King to varying degrees, offsetting or even surpassing that hatred.

Nie Zeng is different, the Dragon King spared him several times without dying, but he still only has hatred in his heart, and the only reason why he doesn't do it is that he knows that he can't beat the Dragon King.

"Why did you stay a little longer just now?" Gu Shenwei asked, preparing for a duel, the opponent was not the narrow knife on Nie Zeng's waist, but the hatred in the young man's heart.

"Give everyone a taste of the real assassination, lest they think it's just a game. Nie Zeng couldn't make a deferential expression, he had worked hard, but he still couldn't do it.

"You think you're better than all of them?"

Nie Zeng didn't squeak and acquiesced to this.

Gu Shenwei gave up the right to teach lessons to Hu Shining.

"You're harder than everybody else and you're getting the best grades. Hu Shining did not deny Nie Zeng's excellence, "But do you think you can carry out the assassination alone?"

"Yes. Nie Zeng blurted out and immediately added, "Under normal circumstances." ”

"So you decided to be a killer in general?"

"I didn't refuse to work with others, I just ......"

"Just don't want them to feel like assassination is a game?"

"Hmm. ”

"You succeeded, but you lost their trust, and from now on, other killers must keep an eye on you when they cooperate with you, so that you don't make your own decisions. ”

Nie Zeng's face was gloomy, his inner struggle was fully revealed, and in the end, he still couldn't control his impulses, "The Dragon King often cooperates with people he doesn't trust, and he hasn't made any mistakes. ”

Hu Shining has always been calm and calm, and he couldn't help frowning at this time, Nie Zeng behaved like an ordinary stubborn teenager, without the slightest killer temperament, which disappointed him greatly.

But he couldn't refute Nie Zeng's words, as a strict teacher of transmission, he never inquired about the Dragon King, let alone made judgments about it at will.

Gu Shenwei knew that it was time to talk about himself again, he didn't like this kind of thing, but he didn't want to give up the young man in front of him, Nie Zeng still had a lot of potential, it was worth cultivating, and one day, he would become a real killer, which Chu Nanping and Tie Linglong couldn't do no matter how hard they tried.

"I've worked with a lot of people I don't trust, including you. Gu Shenwei was only a few years older than the teenager, but his mentality was decades behind, and he was a little skeptical that the other party could understand what he meant, "But I never doubt the ability of my partner, let alone use an action to test you, because it is a kind of contempt and an insult." ”

Gu Shenwei still had a lot to say, but he stopped, Nie Zeng seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he could only comprehend it by himself, and outsiders couldn't help.

"I'm not going to do that again. Nie Zeng's promise was reluctant, and in his heart, he was still unconvinced.

The boy withdrew, Hu Shining sighed, "It's obviously a good seedling, but it's a pity ......"

Nie Zeng is confident that he can be a lone killer, but the well-informed Hu Shining knows that this will be a dream that will never be realized, even if it is a person like the Dragon King and the Dubu King, there must be a guard behind him, and walking alone means risk, and risk means short life.

Gu Shenwei didn't want to give up like this, so he pondered for a while, "Arrange a special collaborator for him." ”

"Who? It can't be the Jinpeng killer of the Third Young Master, right? It's dangerous to mix with them. ”

The Dragon Army and Jinpeng Fort are still allied, a short alliance, the two sides know it, and the trust between them has increased a lot, Shangguan Yun is still under house arrest, but he called his own killers hidden all over the Dragon Court, and ordered them to listen to the command of the Dragon King.

Gu Shenwei hadn't given them too many tasks yet.

"No, it's not the Fortune Wings Killer. Gu Shenwei also thought that these two groups of killers should be completely isolated, and he arranged another killer for Nie Zeng, a killer who could make Nie Zeng unable to find fault or even speak.

"Could it be her?" Hu Shining was once again surprised by the Dragon King's whimsy, but then he thought that this might be an excellent idea, "If Nie Zeng can survive in her hands, he will definitely become the top killer." ”

Nie Zeng, who had already returned to his residence, still felt disdain for the performance of his companions in his heart, and he could never have imagined that he was about to become a partner with a grandmother-level female killer.
