Chapter 9 Tang Lang catches cicadas
In the thatched hut, the three of them had breakfast and were sitting in the room to discuss, and Yin Yang had also changed into ordinary clothes, just like a swordsman. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Do you have any specific plans?" asked Knife first.
"I've got a couple of people in mind, and if it goes well, we'll be able to move on to the next step. With that, he wrote down the names of these people one by one on the paper, and said as he wrote, "These people may threaten our official ranking of the bayonet." ”
"I have a question, if we rely on the ranking to let the Pavilion Master elect us to the Star Picking Hall, wouldn't we have to deal with a lot of people. Yin Yang asked puzzled.
"If you rely on rankings, you can't do it, not to mention that everyone is also a killer. ”
"That... Yin Yang wanted to speak and stopped
"It's written, these three. Tang Tian didn't say anything, and pushed the list over.
Xiao Dao and Yin Yang looked carefully at the names on the list, and suddenly felt that they were involved in an extremely deep whirlpool.
"Lu Changkong, the number one on the heavenly list for three consecutive years, the number one killer left by the old pavilion master. Xiaodao and Yin Yang listened carefully to Tang Tian's introduction.
"Ye Zhan, the fourteenth of the heavenly list, it is said that he is one of the few killers who has been personally instructed by the old pavilion master, like a knife, he is good at using short knives, and he is unexpected, and his ranking has been declining over the years, and he is suspected of protecting himself, so this person's vigilance should be very high, and it is not easy to succeed. Tang Tian paced in the room, and suddenly looked back at the knife and said.
The knife took a deep breath, Tang Tian's meaning, this person seemed to be dealt with by him.
"Wu Qingliang, seventh on the heavenly list, this person... No more intelligence. ”
"Then where are we going to find these people? They're not as big as my mouth, and they let you know everything. Knife slowly felt that this was not going to happen.
"Why do you know so much information, we have a lot of contacts on weekdays, it's not surprising that you know where we are, but these people, I only know their names, as for being good at martial arts, I don't know the background of our net worth, Tang Tian, don't you think you should explain?" Yin Yang asked solemnly.
"I knew I couldn't keep it a secret from you, and in the end I wouldn't agree to go with you without telling you the truth. Tang Tian stretched out his hands and said helplessly, "Then I'll tell you the truth, you have to hold on." ”
"What's that!" Knife looked impatient, not at all worried about knowing the secret.
"Let me ask you a question first, I don't know if you have noticed, in the past few years, most of the masters of the Tianbang have been killers cultivated when the current pavilion master was the current pavilion master, and the masters cultivated during the old pavilion master period are decreasing day by day. ”
"What's this?" Yin Yang and Xiaodao usually except for tasks and orders, where would they notice this, and they stayed for a long time.
"Okay, Xiaodao, you came in when the old and new pavilion masters alternated, and you said that after you started to go out on a mission, did you join more and more later. ”
"I understand that when I say that. Knife laughed.
"This mission I received a secret order from the Pavilion Master. If we succeed, we can all enter the Star Hall, but if we fail... There will be no us. Got it?"
Hearing this, Xiaodao was stunned, he had been living a life around the task, he longed for peace, yearning for the same, everything around him seemed to be frozen by those few words.
Tang Tian put the folding fan away, "Therefore, if we can complete the task, we are naturally qualified to be selected, and it doesn't matter about the ranking, anyway, this ranking is also set by the pavilion master." We're just pawns of the Pavilion Master. ”
"Why choose us. Knife still asked, puzzled.
Tang Tian sighed, "Actually, I don't think that the Pavilion Master only chose us, but he has already chosen us, whether we are pawns or discarded pieces, it is only up to us to decide now." ”
A burst of disgust rose from Xiao Dao's heart, Xiao Dao couldn't see this, he didn't want to be at the mercy of others, he didn't want to manipulate life and death in the hands of others. When he was young, his father was beaten to death by local bullies, his mother took him to wash clothes in a large family's house, he was subjected to arbitrary abuse, and he also deducted the moon money in every possible way, he still remembered that in the cold winter, his mother pulled him to kneel on the ground and begged the housekeeper for that mouthful of food, Duan Duan recalled that he wanted to shout, no, I don't accept this, but he could only retreat, the reality was so strong that he was powerless to resist.
Tang Tian and Yin Yang both noticed the change in the knife, and Yin Yang put his hand on the shoulder of the knife, "The world is like chess, it is all the will of heaven." ”
The knife slowly calmed down his inner turmoil, his breath eased, and the voice slowly weakened, but it always remained in his mind, the way of heaven is unfair, why not go against the sky, why not?
The knife seems to have experienced a big battle, and his breath is a little weak, "That... Which one do we deal with first. ”
Tang Tian looked at the knife and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least for the time being, there was no problem.
"Lu Changkong!"
In the distance, on the top of the hills.
"Big brother, they seem to be talking about things, it's been morning, when are we going to do it. ”
"Don't talk, you stupid, if you want to do it, you have to find a chance, these people, we just need to find the weakest, what is it called You Xiaodao, the other two, one is ninth on the list, and one is seventeenth on the list, can you beat or I can beat it." ”
"Big brother teaches a lesson, a lesson, but when will it have to wait. ”
"Don't worry, the people who paid the money only let us keep an eye on them now, and they will notify them when we want to make a move, what are you anxious about, the money is collected anyway." ”
"Yes, yes, they all listen to the eldest brother. ”
After lunch and a knife, Yin Yang and his party set off for Luzhou. Time was limited, but the three decided that Yin Yang would lead the two to the horse market in Y County to buy horses.
"I can't expose my identity here, Tang Tian, you go and pick three good horses inside, you have good stamina, I and Xiaodao buy some dry food and water, see you in the west of the city." ”
"Don't worry. ”
After a while, Tang Tian came over with three chestnut horses, "Let's go, let's go out of the city"
It took three days to travel from Y County to Luzhou, and finally arrived outside Luzhou before dark
"Get into the city quickly, or the gates will be closed." Yin Yang commanded
Walking to the city gate, the three of them dismounted and slowly entered the city, there was nothing unusual at the city gate, it seemed that there was no major event in the city.
The threesome didn't run long before they met an inn, and Xiao Er saw the three of them by the door, so he came forward.
"Three guest officers, it's a long journey, why don't you choose a small shop to rest, and I'll help you feed the horses before you go?"
"You're very clever, okay, let's choose this one. "Tang Tian is familiar with the road.
"Okay, you three, please, I'll help you tie your horse. ”
Tang Tian motioned to Xiaodao and Yin Yang to enter the store.
"The shopkeeper, three upper rooms. ”
"Okay, wait a minute, you can take a note. The shopkeeper handed over the shop book to Tang Tian and wrote his name.
"Upstairs to the sky, the third floor is connected side by side, can you see it?"
"The shopkeeper really knows how to do things, so let's go up. ”
"Okay, Xiao Er leads the way. ”
With that, the three of them followed Xiao Er upstairs. After the three of them looked at the room, Xiaodao instructed Xiao Er, "Okay, you go and prepare some wine and food to send to my house, we haven't eaten yet." Tang Tian took out a few taels of silver and handed them to Xiao Er's hands.
"Okay, I'll just go to the kitchen, you wait. ”
"Hurry up. ”
The knife looked out of the door left and right, and then closed the door. The three of them sat around the table, and Tang Tian took out the teacups on the table and poured the tea one by one.
"Lu Changkong's goal this time is to host Kaifu Temple, Kaifu Temple is located in the west of the city, about half an hour has passed from here, and I and Xiaodao will set off to spy on the situation at three o'clock, Brother Yin, you first rest in the room and recuperate. Tang Tian took a sip of water and continued, "Lu Changkong's usual weapon is a gun, usually the head of the gun and the body of the gun are separated and carried behind him, and the two can be instantly combined into one when he is in battle, and we can pay special attention to it when looking for people." It is said that the body of the spear has been specially modified in the Golden Casting Hall, and it may contain a killer move, so we should pay special attention to it when fighting. That's all we know so far. ”
"That's still up to me to face it head-on, the knife is roundabout and contained, Tang Tian, you wait for the opportunity to give it a fatal blow. Yin Yang was able to confirm the strategy of the three of them again.
"Luzhou will elect the leader of the martial arts alliance in three days, and at that time, the dragons and snakes will be mixed, which will be convenient for us to make a move. Ye Zhan has not yet left to return to the main altar at this time, he should attend this grand meeting as the prefect's guard, and we will wait for the opportunity to make a move at that time. Tang Tian once again explained the details of this mission, "Ye Zhan's sword in the sword is the most unpredictable killing move in Huifeng's swordsmanship, and one hundred and thirty of the one hundred and sixty-nine people he has assassinated so far have died under this move. ”
"This time, Xu Junming, the candidate for the leader of the new martial arts alliance, has a cloud of masters around him, and Wu Qingliang is like a military advisor by his side, so we should be extra careful when approaching. ”
"Shopkeeper, bring another jug of wine, we're going to have a good drink!" came the voices of other tenants downstairs.
Recently, people from all walks of life and factions will gather here today, and we must be careful not to reveal our identities. Tang Tian lowered his voice and said.
Knock knock, there was a knock on the door, "Guest officer, your wine and food are here"
"Come in. ”
Xiao Er put down the wine and food and was about to go out, Tang Tian stopped him, "Xiao Er, there is no one living in the other room yet!"
"Yes, yes, guest, do you want it?"
"I forgot how many friends were behind. As he spoke, he took out a few taels of silver from his bosom, "I want all of them." ”
These days are in the martial arts event, and the things in the private room are not unusual at all, and the little two downstairs have received the cash and the two escorts have withdrawn from the door with a smile.
After explaining this, the three of them began to enjoy the food at this table.
At three o'clock, the surroundings of the inn were quiet, and most of the people in the city had turned off their lights and gone to bed.
Tang Tian and Xiaodao had changed into night clothes and met in Tang Tianfang, Tang Tian extinguished the candle in the room, nodded, and signaled that he could act.
Tang Tian slowly pushed open the window, and was about to get out of the window, when the knife immediately pressed Tang Tian's shoulder, "Slow!"
