Backhand

“Failed?”

"They have already passed the time to take action, and there is no explanation even when they agreed to contact each other. The subordinates have sent people to the ambush site to investigate, but no trace was found."

"Did you find that you can't do it and run away or you're killed directly, without even a corpse?"

"The subordinates thought it should be the latter. The leaders of these two counterfeit villages were firmly controlled by the organization, otherwise they would not be able to come here. They would face more severe punishments when they escaped before the battle, so they should have been destroyed. There was no sign on the scene. It seemed that they had exposed their whereabouts and were caught in advance."

"Where are the people who are going to make trouble on the street now?"

"It has been done, and the body has been transported outside the city for treatment."

"Well, send someone to investigate. Don't go too deep in the place where these two groups of people are to avoid ambushing, but be sure to confirm when they disappeared."

"Subordinate to obey the order!"

The "black market leader" was a little surprised. As the person in charge of the periphery, he naturally understood that those people could not escape from the city by themselves, because each city gate had eyeliners. If they left without permission, they would only cause a catastrophe to them. But the key is that these two groups of people suddenly disappeared. If they were either taken away by someone, they would be tricked on the scene. After all, the target this time was Mr. Xing, a fourth-grade alchemist. If he received a reminder in advance, any sneak attack would be a joke.

But the question is, who did these things?

If it is caught directly, it may be the official of Chen State, but such behavior is unlikely to be concealed, so it is easy to find out. Then the most likely thing is that they were killed on the spot by a more wise group of people on the spot.

"Who will it be?" The "maintain" thought for a while and finally had a flash of inspiration, "Is it the 'dawn' that the shopkeeper said?"

So he once again urged his men to investigate in detail. After confirming that there were no clues, he rushed to the "shopkeeper" in a hurry.

"So urgent, is that the mission resulted?"

"Yes, Master Shopkeeper, the mission failed, and the two groups of people who were performing the mission disappeared out of thin air."

"Oh?" The "shopkeeper" was looking at a pile of memorials, closely recording every bit of everything from all walks of life, which was a bit like the emperors reviewing memorials. However, after hearing the report of "the chief", he did not look up, and seemed to be not very concerned. "It was just a try. Even if you fail, you don't have to care too much. However, what key points have you discovered?"

"Yes, this time it should not be an act of the government. Because there was no movement and the people noticed it, the subordinates thought that the two groups of people were tricked and cooperated with each other on the scene. Only in this way can they be defeated without any resistance. After all, there was no trace left there. The one who could notify Mr. Xing in advance and send someone to cooperate would probably be that 'dawn'."

"So that's it..." The "shopkeeper" became interested. He put down the documents in his hand and closed his eyes and focused for a moment. "Has Mr. Xing discovered anything?"

"The subordinates dare not get too close. After all, he is a fourth-grade alchemist and has just been ambushed. I believe he will be vigilant, and he will backfire if he is not careful."

"Well, you're doing a good job... take back all the people you scattered out first."

"What do you mean?"

"You guessed it was the thing that was done by Dawn."

"So this is your plan? Will it lead the snake out of the hole?"

"Haha..." The shopkeeper looked in a good mood. "It's not a trick, it's just going with the flow. Just imagine, someone issued an assassination order, and the target was Mr. Xing, a fourth-grade alchemist. Is there anyone besides us who dare to take such orders?"

"It should be gone. That 'Dawn' has always been seeking fame, so it is unlikely that they will take such orders."

"That's it. Apart from 'Daoming', no one is afraid of death or confident, and we are not very interested, because we can't use our own people at this critical moment. Why did I ask you to find bandits? One is to follow the trend. If it succeeds, there will be a new breakthrough. If it fails, there will be no loss. However, can they know who took the order? It depends on whether they care about this goal.

In fact, a fourth-grade alchemist is indeed a treasure. Everyone is willing to sell him a favor, but it is hard to say what this kind of favor can bring. After all, this is a fourth-grade alchemist who may lose his power at any time, otherwise no one would buy his head, right?

So the question is, why does 'Daoming' focus on such a fourth-grade alchemist?"

"The head" was used to the way his leader spoke. He understood such questions as reminding him of himself, so he would always concentrate on his brains. "There must be a key point that 'Daoming' attaches great importance to, and this key point is mostly not Mr. Xing himself. If you consider this, your subordinates think it is probably related to Gu Yue, because Gu Yue is exactly the existence that has something to do with 'Daoming' and Mr. Xing."

"Smart." The shopkeeper seemed very pleased, at least smiling warmly. "Because of this, I expected that the people in Dawn would not care about Xing Lao's life or death, or they used the Xing Lao's order as a meeting gift for Gu Yue, because they also knew what kind of person Gu Yue was, but no matter what, the living Xing Lao is more useful, and they must have passed the news to Gu Yue in some way and received recognition and support. Otherwise, all of this they did was probably a loss-making business, especially after knowing that this was probably our business, they had never had a direct conflict with us over the years, right?"

"So, Gu Yue must have come to Chendu?! Your previous idea was right!" "The head of the matter" suddenly realized something, and he was even more happy because he had an inexplicable pride, that is, if Gu Yue jumped around, his "shopkeeper" was completely upset.

"It's probably true. Combined with the previous report, I believe that this Lord Gu is sitting in the Sanxian Palace under the name of "Chen Qifeng", and all the surrounding things are completed by "Leon" for him."

The "shopkeeper" was also very satisfied with this conclusion. The doubts of these days seemed to be suddenly enlightened, as if there was a sense of comfort as the clouds cleared and the moon saw it. It was indeed good.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Since Gu Yue has arrived, he lives in the Sanxian King's Mansion, then the Three Xian King's drama is just a trick that leads snake out of the hole. We might as well make plans, neither agree nor refuse, to see if he has any backup plan. As for Gu Yue, don't show any signs that he has been exposed, because at this moment, although he is lurking in the 'bright place', but because of this, he will not do anything that has exposed risks by himself, so that we can easily grasp his movements, and at the same time, there is no uncertain factor. Next, follow the clues and argue with this so-called 'dawn' to let them know that the sky in Chendu is still 'million night'."

"I understand!"

After the "maintain" left, the "shopkeeper" regained his calmness and calmness, continued to bury his head in the documents in front of him, and still paid attention to everything about Chen Du bit by bit.

At this moment, Gu Yue also received a reply from Gui Tong.

"Are Mr. Xing okay?"

"It's okay, I conveyed that sentence to him as you asked."

"Yeah, very good, thank you for your hard work! This 'dawn' is indeed amazing, a bit beyond my expectations, but you don't want to go anywhere in the past two days. Logically speaking, if the people in the 'black market' suffer this secret loss, most of the spies will cast a wide net. Although you have your own tricks to enter and exit, it's better to be cautious."

"Okay, how can the organization contact you again?"

"Actually, it's easier to contact me than you think." Gu Yue's face was grim and let Gui Tong get on his ears, "Ahem, it hurts, it really hurts. My little body can't stand it. Oh... That, I mean my perception really covers a wide range. Not to mention the surroundings of the royal palace, most of this Chen is not a problem, but there are too many alchemists here, and I'm afraid you'll be noticed if you're not careful. But I've tried it in the past few days. There are no obstacles within three streets. You can let them go directly to the second floor of the small restaurant at the intersection three streets to sit and drink. During the agreed time, I can talk to him directly in his mind."

"Is this possible?!" This was the first time Gui Tong knew such a contact information, but he did know that Gu Yue had sensed himself thirty miles away. Although he had said it was a special connection, it at least showed that he had a terrifying perception. This unheard of method really had Gu Yue's style.

"Hehe... don't twist, don't twist, it's okay for me to sit there every day. I'll finally let me show off when you come."

"Don't forget that this is a critical time. Put away those worries. If you implicate the organization, I can't spare you!"

Gui Tong is rare to say a few more words. In fact, she is worried that this time "Daoming" is going to work for Gu Yue, but the opponent is the too large existence. As the saying goes, monks can run away, but the temple cannot be moved. If Gu Yue fails, he can take him and Tang Jihuang and leave, but what about "Daoming"? If the loss is heavy because of the cooperation with Gu Yue, it is not what she wants to see. Although she will not not support Gu Yue's approach, her loyalty to the organization has always kept her nervous.

Immediately understood Gui Tong's thoughts, Gu Yue surrendered with her hands, "No problem, I will do my best and strive for everyone to be happy."

Gu Yue, who was still savoring the joy of local victory, had not realized that his enemy had already weaved a larger net...
