If the Shenyuan Continent has a latitude line, it can be found that the southern city of Zhongwangzhou Town and the capital of Cao State, Shengchang City, are almost on the same latitude line.

Both cities are located inland, and the climate in autumn is similar, with a large temperature difference between day and night, less precipitation, dry air, and occasional high winds.

Shengchang City was built by Cao Chang, a martial god known as the "Eastern Tiger", who was also the first king of Cao State. Cao Chang and Shaodian had a good relationship in the early days, but later because of a woman's fight, the two countries became enemies.

Since the Martial God and the Law God left the human realm one after another, the Cao Kingdom and the Shaodian Kingdom have found excuses from time to time to send troops to crusade against each other, and after thousands of years of fighting, the state of war between the two countries is about the same time as the state of peace.

After entering the Cao Kingdom, Shi Jiang hurried day and night, and came to the outside of Shengchang City on this day.

Shi Jiang did not rush into the city, but came to a small town on the outskirts of the city, where there was a liaison station for the secret spies of the Shaodian Kingdom.

"You are from Lu Guotang? Why did you come to Cao Guo? The chief priest has given an order, and we can't take action for ten years. The person in charge of the liaison station looked at General Shi's waist card and asked in a questioning tone.

"I'm here to follow a clue, I don't need you to do anything, I just want to know about the situation. How many underground gangs are there in Shengchang City, and what is their background?" Of course, General Shi would not say the purpose of this trip, so he made up an excuse casually.

Strictly speaking, Shi Jiang is not a person from the Espionage Department, this guy committed several big cases in Shaodian, and went to Lu Country to avoid trouble, Ding Qi temporarily requisitioned him as a deputy, at most he is a temporary worker of the Espionage Department, but his outfit is all genuine.

The person in charge of the liaison station was suspicious, and after returning the waist card to General Shi, he still answered truthfully: "There are more than ten well-known gangs in the city, the most famous of which is the 'Dark Tiger Gate', and we suspect that there is a shadow of the Cao State Supervision Department behind it......"

Late at night, Shi Jiang, who had left the liaison station, sneaked into Shengchang City and came to an independent courtyard in the north of the city, where there was a plaque on the gate of this courtyard, on which there were three large gold lacquer characters "Dianjin Pavilion".

The main entrance here is closed, but the side door is always open, ordinary people will not know what this place is for when they come to the door, it is not like doing business, it is not like a place for food and entertainment, and it is not an official or chamber of commerce.

Shi Jiang, who came here on purpose, knew very well that this was the place, "Dianjin Pavilion" was a commonly used name for killer organizations, and as the most famous killer in the Shaodian Kingdom, "Asking for Life", this king of killers came here as if he was returning home.

"Friend, when you come to this pavilion late at night, what are you doing?" a man in black walked out from behind the screen and stopped Shi Jiang who was about to enter the lobby.

If it weren't for Shi Jiang walking into the "Dianjin Pavilion" from the side and coming to the front of the lobby according to the rules, someone would have come out to kill him.

The people who visit the "Dian Jin Pavilion" are generally acquaintances, and all new customers will have their own acquaintances to guide them, and there will be no strangers who visit alone.

"Hey, come knock on the door and see if you have the right gloves. Shi Jiang smiled sympathetically and said a jargon.

What he means is that I am a killer and have come to take refuge, do you dare to accept me?

"Hahaha, okay, we have three kinds of gloves here, gold, silver and bronze, I don't know which one you can wear? The man in black leaned sideways to make way and asked Shi General to enter the lobby.

The man in black means that we have three levels of killers, I don't know which level your strength can reach, I can give you an assessment.

The lobby of "Dianjin Pavilion" has an area of nearly 500 square meters, the ground is all paved with green grinding stones, the lobby is very simple, behind the screen is a square table, with four chairs, there are dozens of chairs in the middle of the lobby to form a circle, and there is nothing else.

The circle of chairs is for the killer to sit on, and there are three colors of cushions, gold, silver, and red, which represent the three levels of killers in gold, silver, and bronze, respectively.

The man in black took General Shi to the open space surrounded by the chair and asked, "What kind of profession is your friend?"

"You don't deserve to ask me, let your pavilion master come out, I want to ask him if he is willing to change his codename. Shi Jiang had a mask on his face, always with a blank expression.

The man in black was taken aback, took a few steps back, and pulled a dagger from his waist.

Each killer organization will give its own killers a code name, this code name is not given by the killer himself, but arranged according to the rules of the organization, and what rules to adopt is decided by the cabinet master, and the cabinet master's code name is the highest title of that organization.

Shi will let the pavilion master change the code name is equivalent to replacing the position of the pavilion master, this is the rhythm of kicking the hall at the door, the man in black knows that this person in front of him is not a good stubble.

A whistle sounded outside the "beep", which alarmed everyone in the "Dianjin Pavilion".

The man in black came out alone to receive General Shi, it does not mean that only one person knows about General Shi's arrival, and there is someone who is secretly monitoring them, General Shi's words not only frightened the man in black, but also alarmed the person in charge of monitoring.

As soon as General Shi raised his hand, a stone half the size of a palm flew out, hitting the forehead of the man in black, knocking him unconscious to the ground.

"A mere hearer dares to show his blade in front of me, and he can't do it himself. Hmph, it's very expensive for me to kill someone, so leave your life to run errands for me. General Shi sneered.

In terms of age, General Shi is only a few years younger than Ding Qi, but he has surpassed the old money head and advanced to the realm of the late sunset archer.

There are many schools of archers, some that focus on both hands and some that focus on footwork. Among the archers who focus on their hands, they are roughly divided into two types: those who focus on dexterity and those who focus on hand strength, that is, those who are proficient in traps and those who are proficient in hidden weapons.

The old money head belongs to the genre that is proficient in hidden weapons, and his proud protégé is naturally the top master of using hidden weapons.

The reason why Shi Jiang is called "life-seeking gaze" is because as long as the target is in his field of vision, it is basically difficult to escape, which can be understood as whose life is in his hands.

At medium and long distances, the power of the bow and arrow is strong, and at close range, the power of hidden weapons is strong, and Shi Jiang likes to kill targets at close range, so he mostly uses hidden weapons. Later, Ding Kui asked Shi Jiang why he liked to use hidden weapons so much, and Shi Jiang's answer was "It's too troublesome to carry a longbow all day long, so I like to use hidden weapons"

The figure outside the lobby window is longing, but no one dares to rush in.

"Squeak" The sound of a spring sounded under the general's feet, and he flashed and sat down on a chair with red cushions.

Even if he is not an archer who specializes in traps, Shi Jiang is a great archer, and he can easily find the blind spot of the trap in this hall.

The sound of the spring suddenly stopped, and the person in control of the mechanism knew that the trap could not deal with Shi Jiang.

After a while, a man with a square face and a short beard pushed open the corner door connecting the back hall and strode into the lobby.

He glanced at the man in black lying on the ground, knowing that the man in black was not dead, and said with a wry smile: "I am the 'Supreme Fist' of the 'Dianjin Pavilion' pavilion master, I don't know what Your Excellency will call you." ”

Most of the killers are the masters who fight alone, and the "Dianjin Pavilion" is not very organized except for the killers cultivated by themselves. Shi Jiang broke in this time not to wash the "Golden Pavilion" in blood, but to seize the position of the pavilion master, no one wanted to come in and fight with Shi Jiang.

The pavilion master knew that the killers he had cultivated were not enough to plug the generals' teeth, but the other gold medal killers in the cooperative relationship would not work hard for him, so they had to come in and face the generals in person.

"It doesn't matter what I was called before, I'll be called 'Supreme Fist' soon. Shi Jiang's face was blank, but his tone was full of confidence.

The pavilion master drew a short bow from behind him, and said with a solemn face, "You have to do it." The 'Golden Pavilion' has been inherited in Shengchang City for hundreds of years, and the 'Supreme Fist' has been replaced by the gold medal killers in the pavilion, and it is the first time that I have come to take it like you, and I will fight with you to the end even if I die today. ”

"Hahaha, as a killer, you have to be paid even if you want your own life, and if you want to die, someone has to pay for it. Well, I'll sit here and pick you up three arrows, if the chair moves or my ass leaves the chair, even if I lose, I'll leave immediately, and if I'm okay after three arrows, you'll have to take me three stones, whether you dodge or catch it, you win, and I'll leave. How is it?" Shi Jiang sat in the chair in a big way, and crossed Erlang's legs.

"Okay, that's a deal. A spark of hope ignited in the pavilion master's eyes.

The Pavilion Master himself was an early sunset archer, and although he didn't see Shi Jiang move, just by the position where Shi Jiang was sitting, he knew that Shi Jiang was not below him in terms of mechanical skills.

Now General Shi took the initiative to sit in a chair to pick him up with three arrows, and General Shi didn't even have a bow in his hand, he felt that even if he was worse than General Shi, shooting three arrows at such a distance would at least hurt General Shi.

The pavilion master took out three short arrows while adjusting his breathing, his eyes staring at Shi Jiang deadly.

The short arrow flew faster at close range, and the Lord of the Golden Pavilion wanted to make the general unable to react.

The pavilion master held a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, standing quietly more than ten meters in front of General Shi, and his right heel was beating rhythmically.

A gong suddenly sounded outside the window, and Shi Jiang's eyes blinked.

In the midst of this lightning and flint, the pavilion master drew his bow and released arrows, and three short arrows were shot at the eyebrows, throat and heart of the general.

When the short arrow left the bow, the general's eyes hadn't even opened, and the speed of the pavilion master's shooting was exerted to the extreme.

Just as the short arrow was about to hit the target, the pavilion master seemed to see Shi Jiang Muran's face and smiled, and at that moment he suspected that he was dazzled.

The face under the mask of General Shi was indeed smiling, and at such a short distance, the spiritual power of the archers could be felt.

Three golden rays of light flashed, and the short arrow shot by the pavilion master suddenly changed direction, almost grazing Shi General's body and flying out.
