Chapter 400: Night Assassination (Keep asking for recommendations and collections!)
The two shadows that had just slipped past were very short, but they were running very fast, and if they couldn't see clearly, they thought it was two dogs running over, and they couldn't help but shout: "Two children?"
Cangyuan shook his head, "Maybe it's two dwarves." ”
Lian Duel and Cangyuan flashed out of the deep alley, and on the way along the lonely and dark streets to Zijia City, the backs of the two dwarves could be seen from time to time.
Until the fortified fortress of Zijia City was close in front of him, Lian Du saw the two people climb the city wall with their hands and feet like monkeys, and then drilled into the arrows on the wall like rats.
Cangyuan and Lian Du stopped under the iron barrel-like Zijia City, the dark night set off the dark green wall bricks, emitting a depressing aura that no one should enter, Lian Du looked at the arrow mouth where the two people had disappeared, opened his arms and gestured, and said dumbfoundedly: "This arrow can squeeze in a human head at most, Master, are we mistaken?"
As soon as the words fell, a few fiery red points of light flashed in the sky, and the order handed over by the guards holding torches came from the lookout, and Cangyuan said in a low voice: "Don't care about those two people, it's hard to distinguish between friend and foe, let's go in first!"
Cangyuan stretched out his right arm, and actually flew two black curtains more than one meter wide and infinitely extended, separated by the height of one person in the two black curtains, like an inclined ladder stretched to the upper end of the towering city wall, Cangyuan took the lead in flying up, and the foot point flew in the black mantle and soon reached the top of the city wall, because of the cover of the upper black mantle, the guards guarding the city could not find the slightest abnormality.
Lianduan could not reach the speed of Cangyuan with only the strength of his feet, and the silver sword of the Foot Imperial Soul glided up the black mantle, and as soon as he stepped on it, he found that what seemed to be a black mantle was actually viscous and crystalline, maybe it was the texture of some kind of enchantment.
The dark enchantment poured inward from the top of the city wall into a gentle slope, and the two quietly landed, finding that the sleeping Zijia City was dark and secluded, and one after another oval fortresses were scattered in the city, and the smooth shell glowed with the cold light of porcelain blue, like bulging tombs.
In the middle of the dotted oval fortress, the ground is covered with hard green bricks, it looks like a piece of grass is bare, Lian Duel and Cangyuan tiptoe into the hinterland of Zijia City, and suddenly see a slender arrow tower rising from the ground in front of them, the cloud ladder is hanging high, and the upper part of the arrow tower is a large open room lit with lights and candles.
Everything is dark, only this one place is bright, and Lianduel and Cangyuan have their eyes on here.
"It's so quiet! It looks like this arrow tower doesn't look like a guard. Lian Duan whispered.
Cangyuan nodded and said: "There is nothing else in the city except the fortress, I'm afraid it has been used as a dormitory, let's go up from this arrow tower and see if there is any movement." ”
In order not to startle the snake, the two abandoned the cloud ladder and continued to jump onto the roof of the arrow tower with the pitch-black enchantment laid by Cangyuan, and through the cracks in the stone cracks that had been cracked for many years, they peeked inward into the room illuminated orange by the torch stand, and a small and clear conversation came from the inside.
"Don't worry, I've always kept my word, and I won't let your spirit stone be spent in vain, didn't your Excellency see the results with your own eyes today? That's 100,000 male divisions, not 100,000 stones, and raising soldiers costs money!" A neutral man's voice came from the room, and the person who heard this speech was Zi Xiao.
"It's not that I can't trust you, I'm about to use troops, you have to hurry. A sharp male duck's voice came, and when he looked down, he could only see the man's gray hair and slender torso, although it was quite familiar, but he couldn't see anything.
"Haha, I have heard for a long time that the Sikong family is rich and rivals the country, there is no Sikong lineage, and the country is just an empty shelf, and now I hear Brother Sikong's rich and arrogant tone, and it really deserves its reputation!"
Lian Jue frowned slightly, and suddenly, his fists clenched slightly, and he said in a low voice: "It's Sikong Changxu! What is he doing here?"
Cangyuan's face was half-illuminated by the light revealed by the stone cracks, he groaned slightly, and said firmly: "Listen to Sikong Changxu's intentions, he intends to support the army and plot a mutiny!"
"Whose family is it to change?" Guguo, or Xuanchuan?" his suspicion flashed, and he said in a decisive manner: "Binglan once said that Sikong Changxu sits on the top spot of the Tianxuan faction of Guguo, and is the position of Yide alone and above 10,000 people, and he has a lot of power, but he came to buy foreign soldiers. ”
Cangyuan stared at the situation in the house from the crack in the stone, but did not answer, and the whole person fell into thought. I only heard Zi Xiao and Sikong Changxu greet each other for a while, Sikong Changxu changed his words and said sharply: "Boss Zi, you can't do double-faced, three-faced, eating inside and crawling outside!"
Zi Xiaohu's body froze, and he exclaimed: "Good and dignified, where did you say this?"
"Hmph, at the Fighting Medicine Conference, my nephew Sikong Duo went deep into the danger and wanted to find the Qi Yin Frisbee from Firethorn Ashta, but he was preempted by the guy in Zang Di and injured my nephew!
"What should I be. Zi Xiao smiled disapprovingly, and asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask Your Excellency Sikong whether he bought the soldiers of Zijiacheng or the lives of Zijiacheng?"
There was a short silence, and Lian Jue understood the meaning of this Zi Xiao's words, which meant that the money given by Sikong Changxu was not enough, and it was not Zijiacheng's turn to work for him.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Zi Xiao smiled dryly, and said: "It's not that I don't help, it's just that Master Zangdi is not small, he is an appraiser invited by the Black Axe Auction House, whose territory is the Black Axe Auction House, and it belongs to the Longqiu family! The Longqiu family just coughed, and no one had to shake a few times! No, didn't the little girl Qinghan bring Sikong Xian's nephew back to recuperate?"
Zi Xiao's fat face showed a flattering smile again, like a lump of white fat arched into a lump, Lian Jue really admired Sikong Changxu's concentration, and could talk with such a face in the middle of the night. After Sikong Changxu heard the reputation of the Longqiu family, he was really silent, and after a while, Sikong Changxu resolutely said: "Help me recapture the Qiyin Frisbee and make a price!"
"This-" Zi Xiao was stunned, "This is snatching meat from the wolf's mouth to eat! In case it is not Zang Di who is looking for the Qiyin Frisbee, but Longqiu......"
"I don't care. Sikong Changxu suddenly intercepted Zi Xiao's words, a pair of treacherous and cunning eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Zi Xiao with a cunning gaze, and said with a sinister smile: "There is a saying that money can make ghosts grind, rest assured, as long as this matter can be achieved, the money is enough!"
Zi Xiao didn't know whether it was oil or sweat from his head, he raised his round arm to wipe it clean, and when he was hesitating, he suddenly heard the sound of "pong", which was particularly obvious in the quiet night, as if who was climbing the ladder quickly......
