Zhang Xiao saw that this person was really casual, he just didn't like the people in the rivers and lakes, but when he heard that Yuan Li was called Engong, he was suddenly a little interested. [Ran^Text^Library] []

And Zhang Jiao was angry, this person was not only rude, but also dared to count himself, no one had ever dared to talk to himself like this, he couldn't bear it, he immediately slapped the table and roared angrily: "You dwarf, dare to look down on me, believe it or not, the old lady will kill you at any time, and tell you to go to the underworld to do your own fishing." ”

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect this woman to be so fierce, and she is also a friend of Yuan Li, she should not be an ordinary person, it seems that she can't be provoked, so she hurriedly raised her hands and apologized: "The woman spares her life, the woman spares her life, the little people are cheap, you don't know Mount Tai with eyes, you treat me as a worm, don't worry about me." ”

Seeing such a low-voiced apology in the bag, Zhang Jiao's anger subsided and began to calm down, while the bag fishing began to drink tea by himself as if nothing had happened, very leisurely.

Zhang Xiao saw Yuan Li confidently saying that tonight's plan was going on as usual, and felt that he should know something, so he asked: "Brother Gonghai, there are ghost cultivators in this Xuchang, why do you still have to implement this plan?"

Yuan Li also sat down and asked, "Brother Xiao, do you know what kind of sect this ghost cultivator sect in Xuchang is?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be a star faction, do you know Brother Gonghai?"

Yuan Li smiled a little and said: "This Phixing Sect is one of the famous three factions and four clans, and it is also a large famous and decent family, they will not do anything behind their backs, they originally lived in Chang'an, but Chang'an was destroyed more than ten years ago, so they moved here." ”

After Yuan Li finished speaking, Zhang Yao immediately asked: "Xuchang has such a large ghost cultivation sect, it is even more troublesome, the Qingyu Sword is an immortal thing, even if it is broken and the immortal qi is lost, it is not worse than the best spiritual object, it is very likely to be under the control of the Phi Xing Sect, it is not so easy to get." ”

Zhang Xiao didn't expect Zhang Xiao to think so calmly, he happened to think of it with himself, and said excitedly: "Yes, this is very likely, we should negotiate with the Phixing Sect before making plans." ”

Yuan Li saw that Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao were both opposed to tonight's action, but he was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "No matter how long you wait, if you want to take away the Qingyu Sword, you will fight against the Star Piercing Sect, it is better to do it while they still notice us, and seize the opportunity, and tonight will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”

Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao were suddenly curious, what kind of opportunity would make Yuan Li describe it like this, so they asked, "What is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

Bag Fishing took over and said, "There is still a group of people who will sneak into Sikong Mansion tonight, and we can just fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to steal the Qing Yu Sword." ”

Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao looked at the bag in surprise again, and asked very curiously: "There is another group of people, who are they, and what are they going to do?"

Bao Zhongyu continued: "The Han army has just pacified the north, and some remnants of the Yuan family want to take advantage of the war to assassinate Cao Cao and catch him by surprise, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to benefit the fisherman." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiao looked at Yuan Li in surprise and asked, "Brother Gonghai, isn't this Yuan family your family?

Yuan Li said flatly: "Their family does have a relationship with me, but not only do I not have contact with them, but I am still an opponent, and they also have an unshirkable responsibility for the death of the country back then, so I naturally will not be with them, and I will use them tonight." ”

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Jiao said: "This can't be done, this Qingyu Sword is Cao Cao's sword, since they are going to assassinate Cao Cao, then if you want to confirm that the Qingyu Sword is bound to fight with them, the difficulty becomes greater, and you still have to find another opportunity." ”

After listening to Zhang Yao's words, he laughed out loud, and after taking a sip of tea, he said: "Find another chance? How can there be a next time, this Cao Sikong is notoriously suspicious, if this assassination fails, Xuchang will be under martial law for a long time, maybe there will never be a chance in the future, you have to think about it carefully." ”

Zhang Xiao didn't care, and retorted: "Then if they succeed and Cao Cao dies at their hands, won't it be much easier to get the Qingyu Sword?"

He still smiled and said to Zhang Xiao: "Young man, you are too naïve, have they really succeeded? I have also seen them, and they do have some skills, but what kind of person is Cao Cao, even their lord is not an opponent, how could Cao Cao not expect the possibility of assassination? The result has long been doomed. ”

Yuan Li affirmed the statement that he was in the bag, and said: "That's right, I think so too, from all aspects, tonight is a great opportunity, if we miss it, the imperial court and the Star Sect will not have a chance to give us another chance to act." ”

After weighing the severity, Zhang Jiao finally agreed with Yuan Li's opinion and continued to proceed as planned, but the tea stall was about to be closed, so Yuan Li took everyone to the inn to rest first, and waited for those assassins to make a move before acting.

Walking on the road, Zhang Xiao has been very entangled in his heart, it has almost reached the time agreed with Su Layer, but should he go? Seeing that the time for action is getting closer and closer, and if he meets Su Layer, if he leaks his mouth, it will be troublesome, thinking about Su Layer's seemingly quiet but somewhat rude appearance, I think it's better to forget it, her parents should not allow her to go out so late, so Zhang Xiao didn't think about it anymore.

In order not to attract the attention of others, Yuan Li still booked four rooms, each rested, and waited for Yuan Li's notice, Zhang Xiao came to the room and took out the file given by Jiang Qizi, and began to read it, although the content of it has been read many times, but Zhang Xiao knows limited sword skills, so he can only read repeatedly to deepen his impression.

But now Zhang Xiao can't calm down, pacing back and forth in the room, this is not a trivial matter now, if something goes wrong, it may attract the attention of the whole world.

And he is not familiar with everything in Sikong Mansion, what if he meets a demon cultivator? At this moment, Yuan Li knocked on the door and whispered: "Brother Xiao, the time is almost up, come to my room to make the final arrangements." ”

It's time to come, Zhang Xiao tidied up his clothes and walked out of the room, came to Yuan Li's room, and found that everyone else had already arrived, and there was another person dressed as a soldier, which made Zhang Xiao a little nervous, how could there be Han Dynasty soldiers here.

Yuan Li saw that Zhang Xiao had already come in, so he sat on the bed and said: "Those assassins are ready to act, we should also act early, wait for them in the Sikong Mansion, this is also my friend, this time I specially asked him to help know the whereabouts of those assassins, but he is not a soldier, just a cover-up, his name is inconvenient to reveal, so I won't say it." ”

The man dressed as a soldier said solemnly: "Those people have been planning for a long time, and they will carry out their fortifications every night, and I have been staring at them for a long time, I originally wanted to take the opportunity to make a profit, but I didn't expect to be able to help the high seas." ”

The soldier nodded to Yuan Li and continued: " As early as ten days ago, those people dug a hole in the moat of Sikong Mansion to infiltrate, but they never found the opportunity, but it happened that Cao Sikong's general Han Hao was sent to investigate the military rations, and Shi Jian was infected with a vicious illness yesterday to recuperate at home, and his son Shi Jing was temporarily replaced, and now the leaders of the two forbidden armies around Cao Sikong are not there, and Shi Jing is on the first day of duty, it is a golden opportunity, those people can't hold it back, and they are ready to start acting, you had better enter before they enter Sikong Mansion, so as not to get into trouble. ”

Yuan Li immediately thanked the soldiers: "Thank you brother Tai for telling me, then we will leave now." ”

The soldier stood up and said to everyone, "But there is still something to do next, so I will not accompany you and leave first." ”

After the soldier finished speaking, he left the room, and Yuan Li also said to everyone: "Then let's start acting too, remember to be careful." ”

Zhang Miao said disapprehantly: "Do I still need your reminder? With that, he quickly left the room.

At this time, the pedestrians on the streets are still the same as during the day, and there are more scouts wandering around Sikong Mansion, and the number of soldiers patrolling is also much higher than during the day.
