Chapter 59: The Killer's Plan
The backyard was uninhabitable for a while, and Gu Xiaozhao didn't stay in the front yard, he came to the shop. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Where did this assassin come from?
Gu Dazhong's face was a little pale.
This style of assassination is somewhat similar to the legendary Parting Hall, but the price of the Parting Hall is very high, and someone will ask the assassins of the Parting Hall to assassinate their young master?
Gu Xiaozhao's expression was indifferent.
It's weird that an assassin can be perfectly disguised as an assassin as fierce as he is, but so what?
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!
"Master Zhan, most of the fierce ones are less auspicious!"
Gu Dazhong's expression was a little sad.
Perhaps because of their poor backgrounds, Zhan Duan was very good to them, often instructing them in martial arts, answering their questions on the path of cultivation, and correcting their mistakes and omissions in cultivation.
"What's going on in the county? At this moment, I don't know what happened to the head of the family?"
Gu Dazhong's mouth was still chattering.
He might be a little better off doing so.
Gu Xiaozhao glanced at him, and Gu Dazhong hurriedly stopped the nagging.
"Dazhong, you send these herbs to the pharmacy, hand them over to Master Lan personally, and then stay there, and after Master Lan finds out the medicinal properties of these herbs, you bring him here to see me......"
After a pause, Gu Xiaozhao continued.
"Remember, when testing the medicine, no one else is allowed to watch, after testing the properties of the medicine, warn Master Lan not to talk nonsense, you must come to see me immediately!"
Gu Dazhong nodded, he stood in place with some hesitation, wanting to say something.
"Speak!"
Gu Xiaozhao said coldly.
"Young master, if there are any more assassins, who will protect you......"
As Gu Dazhong spoke, he peeked at Gu Xiaozhao, and saw that Gu Xiaozhao's face was wrong, and his eyes became colder and colder.
He quickly retracted, lowered his head, and picked up the herbs that had been placed on the ground, sorted into small packages, and strung together in a cloth belt.
"Young master, I'll go now!"
"Hmm!"
Gu Xiaozhao nodded and waved his hand.
After Gu Dazhong went out, Gu Xiaozhao came to the back of the counter, and the old shopkeeper followed step by step, his forehead was shiny, and he was full of cold sweat.
Gu Xiaozhao sat on the old shopkeeper's chair, his fingers tapping on the tabletop.
For a moment, the room was silent, except for the sound of fingers tapping on the table.
"Books!"
After a while, Gu Xiaozhao spoke.
"The ...... of the year's books"
As he spoke, he glanced up at the shopkeeper.
"Yes!"
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and retreated.
In the past, Shuijingfang has been managed by Zhan Xuan, but now, the exhibition hall is more auspicious, and Gu Xiaozhao can only do it himself when he checks the account books and checks the management of the medicine store.
At this moment, in a valley twenty miles away from Fang City, several gray-clothed people wearing hats sat silently in the woods.
The leader of the hat man has a gloomy look in his eyes, and he is the guy who besieged Zhan Duan and finally sent him back to the west.
He had been staring at the grass in front of him, watching two ants carry the carcass of a fly and struggle to move forward, when suddenly, he jerked his head up.
Tilt your face slightly and tilt your head to listen.
The next moment, the expression on his face became bad.
"Buzz ......"
After a while, there was a slight sound in the air.
It was the sound of the wings of flying insects vibrating in the air.
A golden beetle flew rapidly from the direction of Dishui Guanfang City, like a golden light streaked across the sky above the woods, and landed in the palm of the hat man's hand.
Then, the beetle kept turning around in the palm of the man's hand, looking very anxious, as if he was looking for something.
The hat-bearer raised his other hand and beckoned.
The other stepped forward with a respectful expression, holding a jade bottle in his hand.
Then the man lifted the cap of the bottle, and a smoky stench came out of the bottle and wafted through the woods.
If it were an ordinary person, most of them would have shouted and avoided it at this time, and that smell was almost the harshest test for the human sense of smell. However, as if they hadn't heard it, the group of hat-bearers sat upright one by one, and no one's sitting posture had changed in any way.
The beetle fluttered its wings and flew into the jade bottle.
The man closed the jade bottle, and the stench disappeared without a trace.
"Chou Seventeen failed......"
The leader of the hat man said lightly.
He looked up at the man in the seat, the expression on his face did not change, and the failure of the assassination mission seemed to be insignificant to him.
"Implement the next plan!"
"No!"
Everyone bowed their heads and answered in unison.
Then, they all stood up and left alone, going in different directions.
In the end, the man with the hat at the head was left in the forest, and at this time, the expression on his face became vivid, not as stiff as before, as if wearing a mask.
"Gu Xiaozhao?"
He was very surprised by the failure of the assassination of Bingchou No. 17, to be honest, this time when he came to Dripping Water Temple, he had other assassination tasks, and the assassination of Zhan Duan and Gu Xiaozhao was just a matter of hand.
I thought that the assassination attempt was a failure!
Could it be that this Gu Xiaozhao is more difficult than Zhan Xuan?
However, he didn't believe that the other party could escape the second assassination, even if that guy was in the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm, he would never be able to escape the second assassination after cultivating Gangsha.
The Farewell Hall has a rule of quitting the mission after three unsuccessful assassinations, and this rule was passed down by the ancestor master, saying that there is a line in the sky, and everything cannot be done.
It's just that there are very few who can escape the three assassinations of the Farewell Hall.
In the legend of the Parting Hall, he once took over a mission to assassinate an innate martial artist.
However, when the assassination operation was carried out, it was discovered that the innate martial artist had silently broken through the realm and turned into a real person.
Assassination of the real person?
It's almost impossible.
The task cannot be shirked, if it is shirked, the reputation of the Parting Hall will be ruined, and once a killer organization loses its reputation, it will undoubtedly suffer a fatal blow.
The only blame can only be blamed on the intelligence department of the parting hall, for which the top level of the intelligence department in charge of intelligence took the initiative to participate in the first assassination operation.
The operation was undoubtedly a failure!
The first action was just a temptation, and the second assassination was the real thing.
In this battle, the Farewell Hall used more than a dozen innate masters, set a lot of traps in advance, and made a lot of tricks, not only the relatives of the real person of the law as hostages, but also invited the great rune master to set up the rune array, and finally, led the real person of the law to enter the rune array, and then, everyone entered the siege.
As a result, after the first battle, more than a dozen innate masters escaped two or three people, and the rest all fell.
There is only one realm difference between the law and the innate phase, but the combat power is very different.
Despite this, the Parting Hall carried out a third assassination.
Where was the assassination carried out? What was the scene of the battle? Was there a real person who dispatched the Faxiang in the Farewell Hall? Everything was a secret and no one knew.
What everyone knows is that the real person of the Law Ministers will never be seen on the territory of the Three Kingdoms in the southwest.
Since then, the reputation of the parting hall has risen all at once, and it can basically stop children crying at night.
Truth be told, if a killer organization is famous and popular, it is not far from destruction. After all, for killers or something, secrecy is the most important thing, and hiding in the shadows like a rat in the gutter is the right way. However, the Farewell Hall, which violated this rule, became the largest killer organization in the Three Southwestern Kingdoms.
Of course, if you want to find the helm of the parting hall or something, you will definitely not find it.
Since even the Faxiang Zhenren couldn't escape the assassination of the Farewell Hall, the people in the hat didn't think that Gu Xiaozhao would be able to dodge it.
Since the first attempt failed, let the target die in the second assassination.
