Chapter Forty-Eight: Worst Intentions

Entering the city, Chen Weiming performed the art of reading the wind and began to probe the surrounding situation.

"I don't have to do this kind of thing just yet. The Mortal Knife smiled slightly, and then asked, "Do you know how to play Go?"

Chen Weiming frowned, accepted the art of reading the wind, and asked puzzledly: "No, but does it matter?"

"I don't know how to play Go!" said the Blade, "but I heard a very interesting remark from a very good chess player during my previous mission: a real chess master will not fight for victory or defeat at one time, but will strategize the whole situation. A lot of chess in the early stage doesn't have any effect until the late stage. ”

"It's too early for what we're asking for now, and it may even disrupt our steps. Three months is still a long time, and the other party will not let us find out too much useful things. Instead of wasting time on this, let's do something meaningful. ”

"Something meaningful?" Chen Weiming was puzzled, and suddenly reacted and asked in a deep voice: "You mean, the other party already knows that we are coming." ”

The Dark Knife nodded: "Although there is no complete evidence, I see that every time Li Zuo makes a move, he easily kills all the killers." It's not just about being strong, it's also about timing your shots just right. At least he did a little bit to make sure all the killers had arrived. ”

"There is not much difference in the realm, it is not determined by strength. This means that he has means that we don't know about, knows the arrival of the killer, and even knows the location of the killer. ”

Chen Weiming thought slightly, and then nodded: "Yes, it is impossible for Yanyun Pavilion to produce traitors in the West Sea Continent. ”

It's not that there will never be a traitor, after all, the loyalty of a killer is a ridiculous thing. But no one in the West Sea Continent dared to betray Yanyun Pavilion, because they had too many ways to detect the rebellion, and they could do it with just a little clue. If there were no traitors and the information could be so accurate, it would only be as the Mortal Sword said.

After a pause, he smiled slightly: "If we're lucky, maybe we've caught one of his weaknesses." ”

The Immortal Sword also smiled slightly: "Yes, but it's just maybe, maybe he is a person who likes to save trouble, or he is a rampant person, after all, he was originally the prince, and he also cultivated Li Qinglian's Qinglian Sword Song, and he has arrogant capital." We can't afford to act rashly until we are sure. ”

As a killer, learning to analyze intelligence is one of the most important jobs.

In the face of a large group of enemies with similar realm strengths, it is the best way to break them one by one, whether it is Chen Weiming or the Immortal Sword, they will choose so. But looking at Li Zuo's several shots, he did the opposite and chose to shoot when all the opponents were together.

If the opponent is not arrogant, or does not have some bad habits, this shows one thing, although the opponent's Qinglian Sword Song is powerful, the consumption must be terrible. Once used, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to recover, so Li Zuo will choose to shoot when everyone is ready.

If this is the case, then the other party has a great weakness. Of course, this is only speculation and cannot be determined yet.

"How do you know for sure?" Chen Weiming asked, "I haven't thought of a way yet." ”

"I didn't expect that either. The Blade shook his head: "But we must arrange something for those people to do, if they do nothing but wait, I'm afraid they will have to make some trouble with me." Let's go. ”

"Where are you going?" asked Chen Weiming, puzzled.

The Mortal Sword smiled slightly: "Go and see the three-style Qinglian Sword Song left by Li Qinglian." ”

"Qinglian Sword Song!" Chen Weiming looked surprised: "Can you see it?"

The prestige left by Li Qinglian has directly affected today's Yanyun Pavilion. The swordsmanship he left behind must be a masterpiece, and Tang Guo should be carefully protected. It's probably not so easy to see those three styles of swordsmanship without being discovered.

"You'll know if you come with me!" The Mortal Knife led Chen Weiming forward, and asked as he went, "Do you have any goals now?"

"Yes!" Chen Weiming thought without thinking: "Leave the West Sea Continent alive." ”

This is a secret that there is no need to hide from others, because everyone thinks the same thing.

The Immortal Blade nodded, and asked again, "Then have you made any mental preparations for this goal?"

Chen Weiming replied: "Let yourself keep getting stronger!"

The Immortal Knife was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically, "Is it just like this, nothing else?"

"What do you mean by that?" Chen Weiming asked rhetorically.

The Mortal Knife smiled, and then said slowly: "We are killers, executioners who harvest life, carrying a body of sin on our backs, hated by most people in this world. It's not easy for us to be alive, not only in the Smoke Cloud Pavilion, but also in the outside world. ”

"To live, it's not just about being strong, it's about preparing for the worst. Put aside the so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality, put aside the so-called bottom line of principles, and put aside the so-called forbearance and intolerance. ”

Chen Weiming smiled faintly, looked at the back of the Immortal Knife and asked, "Are you reminding me not to do anything about the Qin State anymore?"

The Mortal Knife didn't look back, continued to look ahead, and said softly: "Although it is a killer, I prefer that the opponent die under my power. Although Yanyun Pavilion's approach is cold, anyone who is targeted is not a good person. One by one, they are either heroes, or people who are ready to provoke big things. Such a person, since he has stood up, should naturally have the consciousness of being killed. ”

"So I will not be soft on killing them. I won't take the weak lightly, but I won't give up the opportunity to kill for that reason, as you do. ”

"This time, we are in a more dangerous situation than the other side. So I want you to be clear, if you have the opportunity, whether you kill your son in front of your father or kill your father in front of your son, don't be soft, or we will die. ”

Chen Weiming nodded: "I understand, that stop was also out of many considerations, because ......"

"You still don't understand!" the Mortal Knife interrupted his words, and then said in an extremely serious tone: "I hope you are mentally prepared, if necessary, I will use the entire Tang royal family as a hostage to blackmail Li Zuo, no matter how old an old man is, or a child of a few months, as long as you can use it." ”

The firmness of his tone made Chen Weiming slightly shocked, and then bowed his head. There is nothing to refute and nothing to stop. This is the killer, who will do everything possible to kill the target, even if it is pointed at.

It was in the midst of a sigh that he suddenly felt the Immortal Knife stop.

"It's here, is this the Qinglian Sword Song?"

The voice of the Dark Knife was full of doubts, and Chen Weiming looked forward, there was nothing peculiar, only a huge stone.
