Chapter 137 Attack on Xu Mansion
"In this mission, Gusu City sent a total of nine people, with the goal of Yangzhou City. We will see you in seven days."
The woman quickly withdrew her gaze from Zhuo Mufeng and said in a cold voice.
And then there was a whoosh.
The figure was like a ghost, and it disappeared into the night.
According to Zhuo Mufeng's judgment, the other party's internal strength is probably at the peak of true qi and even at the early stage of the Xingqiao Realm.
The other seven people also disbanded and left in all directions.
The mysterious gathering lasted only for a few seconds, and everyone only got a message from Yangzhou City. Not to mention the content of the mission, they didn't even know the location of the next party.
But it is precisely this that Zhuo Mufeng feels the meticulousness of Tianzhao's behavior.
He spread his palms and there was a piece of paper in his palm. It was the woman who just now flicked it to him before leaving. The piece of paper had the words Dongcheng Gate written on it.
"Is it the East City Gate of Yangzhou City?"
Zhuo Mufeng believed that others should have also obtained the paper ball, and I don’t know if the content is the same.
Most likely not.
This will prevent each other from breaking their identities.
The mysterious sky claw made Zhuo Mufeng suddenly realize that the name Cui Baojian was fake?
It may not be easy to get off after getting on the pirate ship by myself.
Shaking his head, Zhuo Mufeng returned from the same route, took off his hooded black and gold robe, took off his mask, stuffed it all into the package, and then returned to the Mozhu Gang to rest.
Early the next morning.
He asked the two elders to inform Shang Zirong and said that he wanted to go to Xuantie Pavilion to handle the matter. Under the advice of the two elders, Zhuo Mufeng went down the mountain alone.
This time the task was his own letter of confession, and he could not refuse.
Yangzhou City is far away from Gusu City, and the fastest way to walk on the water is. Zhuo Mufeng paid three taels of silver and took a merchant's passenger ship south.
What made him notice was that there were more than a dozen people from the martial arts world on the boat. Could there be the Sky Claw Master from last night?
On the way, he not only practiced martial arts, but he caught the opportunity to chat with them. Unfortunately, he was very nervous and ignored others, so Zhuo Mufeng had to give up.
Six days later in the evening.
The passenger ship stopped at the east gate of Yangzhou City.
Zhuo Mufeng walked around the neighborhood and found three neat scratches about inches long and neatly in a corner of the city wall.
This is the code of this operation, and it is explained in the package wearing a clothes mask.
Looking closely, the three scratches tilted toward the right side.
Following this direction, Zhuo Mufeng entered the city, and when he encountered a fork, he turned right. He found several micro-codes one after another in the middle, and finally stopped in a long remote alley.
There is only a faint scratch left on the wall, which means that this is the end.
Zhuo Mufeng turned over the three-meter wall and found an abandoned rice warehouse inside. There were spider webs in the warehouse. After working hard, he found a few small characters as thin as mosquitoes and flies above the beam - Zishi, Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city.
Made, that's so complicated!
Zhuo Mufeng had no choice but to indirectly ask passers-by about the location of the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city. In the middle of the night, he changed into a suit and quietly arrived at his destination.
The City God Temple is dilapidated and far away from the streets and alleys. I heard that there have been ghosts, so no one will come in time.
When Zhuo Mufeng arrived, two people stood in the temple.
"Bai Wuchang, you are not bad."
The shorter man in black said, it was the woman that night, with a faint praise in her cold voice.
The other person was half a head taller than her and did not say a word, but through the golden mask, Zhuo Mufeng felt that the other party was observing him, his eyes were like lightning, which made him tense all over, as if he was about to be seen through.
Time passes slowly, and more and more people come.
By midnight, a total of sixteen people came.
The woman said: "This time the three cities have joined forces, a total of twenty-seven people were sent, but eleven people have not found this place, so they will withdraw from this mission."
Only then did Zhuo Mufeng realize that it was also a test before.
What will happen to those who haven't found this place?
He suddenly felt a little chilling.
"This mission is to kill Xu Baichuan, a famous man in Yangzhou City. This person secretly hid many thieves from the Yangtze River and the court's main criminals and should be killed if they don't take the court seriously.
Ming Yezishi took action and gathered outside the bamboo forest of Xu's family. Tonight, everyone will go back and prepare some details of the action plan. I will tell you one by one.”
A ball of paper popped into Zhuo Mufeng's hand, and as before, everyone quickly dispersed.
When he returned to the inn, Zhuo Mufeng finished reading the content of the paper ball, which was described in detail on his actions. He burned the paper ball and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When I participated in the mission for the first time, I actually got on Xu Baichuan.
"Loyalty" Xu Baichuan ranked 50th on the Earth Spirit List. He is known for his emphasis on righteousness and over profit. He is a hero praised by everyone in the right path.
This person has lived in Yangzhou City for many years and rarely participated in the world, but his martial arts are unfathomable. Many people say that the ranking of the Earth Spirit List is absolutely low.
The sixteen people participating in this operation should also have experts at the Earth Spirit List level, otherwise what is the difference between them and delivering vegetables?
Zhuo Mufeng thought about it before and afterwards, but he was still worried. He was not used to handing his life to others.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and used the makeup techniques he learned from Hu Lai to make a comeback. Although his skills were not as good as Hu Lai, they were far from his true self, and outsiders should not be able to see it.
By the next day, Zhuo Mufeng went directly to Xu Baichuan's mansion.
Xu Baichuan is famous but lives in a simple courtyard. Although there are endless people coming to his house to learn from his master every day, over the years, he has only accepted more than 30 disciples.
Zhuo Mufeng's pseudonym was Lu Juntian, pretending to come to the door to become a disciple, and successfully got into the Xu Mansion.
Unfortunately, he didn't even see Xu Baichuan's face, so his eldest disciple refused because he was too old and passed the best time to learn martial arts.
On the way, Zhuo Mufeng walked slowly, observing the surroundings secretly. When passing through a certain courtyard, his innate intuition made him furrow all over his body.
Expert.
There must be masters in it!
Could it be Xu Baichuan?
Fearing to arouse suspicion, Zhuo Mufeng walked by, and when he walked out of the Xu Mansion, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. I don’t know if it was preconceived, but he always felt that the Xu Mansion was very dangerous and had a strange feeling.
But there is nothing strange about it.
There will be no problem with the action tonight, right?
He squatted in the distance again and secretly observed the Xu Mansion for a long time, but found nothing. Zhuo Mufeng had to return to the inn. When it was approaching, he quietly returned to the bamboo forest in front of the Xu Mansion and crawled quietly.
Time passes little by little.
Suddenly—
There were fierce shouts of killing sounds in Xu's mansion.
Zhuo Mufeng knew that the first wave of people rushed in. According to the instructions of the paper ball, he was the second wave of people. After three breaths of the sound, he would attack from the south.
He really didn't want to take action, but once Cui Baojian knew about it, what was waiting for him would be a huge disaster, so he had to bite the bullet and jump out.
Chapter completed!
