In the second half of that night, the three of them quietly entered Jianye City and slowly approached their expected ambush location, a commercial district less than a hundred feet away from the Liuer Palace. The buildings here were relatively tall and well within sight.
Lying on the roof, Hou Zi thought about everything that had happened. A seemingly simple assassination operation seemed complicated and confusing.
If he has no brains and is just a pure killer, then the current plan can be considered to be going very smoothly.
With accurate news, a certain time, and a certain route, he only needed to strike in the air and leave success or failure to God's will.
But if he has a brain, he is very confused by the news he has received now?
Why did the underground forces tell him that Xu Shanren was dead? If this was false news, what was the purpose of these people? If this was true news, why did Qi Men hide it? What did they want to do?
According to his experience, it is impossible for such underground forces to dare to go against the landlord Qi Men purely because of their own interests, because Qi Men can cause them greater loss of profits.
But in order to win his trust, the first piece of information is often true. This is human nature; first use real things to gain a certain amount of trust, and then slowly dig holes?
The question is what is their purpose? Just to catch him? There is no need to bother! After four days of contact with the underground forces without any scruples, he just wanted to deliberately expose himself, but what is surprising is that he Haven't been exposed yet?
This also proved his conjecture that he alone was of little value; he was just a swordsman and a killer, and there were many people like him in Shanmen.
And the undercover spy, did he really get the news? Or was he deceived by smoke bombs? Or has he been exposed at all?
He always had the feeling that it was like a play, a play performed for him!
The fog was so thick that he couldn't get any hints. In order to find out the truth, the only thing he could do was to accompany these people and continue to act until the secret was revealed before a big mistake was made.
The characteristics of his profession made him more and more interested in this game, because he felt that since he was fine now, he would still be fine before those who acted in the drama did not achieve their goals.
Then keep playing.
The night passed slowly in torment, and time seemed to pass extremely slowly, deliberately testing their patience.
It's daylight and it's time for morning classes. For Taoist monks, this is their unshakable practice time.
After the morning class, the three of them began to become nervous. Their eyes were fixed on the direction of the Liuer Hall. Monks from all over the sect had already begun to arrive from all directions for business. They were all in a relaxed mood. This was a very normal day.
Just after the time passed, several figures suddenly appeared from the Liuer Palace, as well as a soft sedan carrying a magic weapon. Just as the undercover chess piece said, everything was in perfect agreement.
If the news is true, the person inside the sedan should be You Chaoen, the aide of the Sikong Mansion, a colleague he has never met, but from the jade slip given by Judge Cheng, he has already memorized this person's appearance. mind.
There were four guards in total, and their auras were all very strong, surrounding the soft sedan; but precisely because of the existence of the soft sedan, their speed was far less agile and agile.
Just as Hou Zi expected, the monk Qi Men, who was so proud of his own territory, could not actually circle in the opposite direction. They avoided the busy city in the northwest and passed directly over the three people's ambush.
Perfect judgment! Provided them with the best attack position for their surprise attack.
This team has only been in the air for less than three breaths. It has just spread out over the city. The last monk has just jumped into the air, and the entire team is still circling and adjusting.
Someone suddenly threw a magic weapon under an archway below. When the wind changed, it turned into a hill and pressed down on the soft sedan.
That is the natal magic weapon of the Taoist mountain people. The first one to take action is precisely because of its weight, clumsiness, and power. To stop such a giant thing consumes the energy of the defender, especially for the few monks around the soft sedan chair.
It's easy for them to avoid them, but it's not easy to confront them head-on.
The natal magic weapon has its own magic. If your mind is connected to the soft sedan chair, its collision will be inevitable. The best thing is that because it is tied to this rocky mountain, the flight of the soft sedan chair becomes sluggish.
.
This is the result of the discussion between the three of them. Since it is a sneak attack, the purpose must be clear and powerful, and there should be less fancy so-called barrier formations to blind people. In these aspects, the Qimen monks are not so easy to fool.
If you concentrate hard, you will be like a mountain.
Following closely behind was Lu Daoren's fire; it was also his natal magic weapon, acting like a raging flame that burned the sky, forming a true fire furnace around the soft sedan that had become stagnant in its movements.
The pressure of the mountain and the forging of fire, and the sudden change caught the monks guarding them off guard. Only the leading Taoist snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and the universe in his sleeves, the tongues of fire in the sky and the huge stone mountain disappeared without a trace in an instant.
This move fully demonstrates his profound magic power and exquisite magic control; Qiankun in the sleeves is not a very surprising method in Taoism, but it can turn a relatively mediocre magic into a miracle.
To be able to achieve such a mastery and lift a heavy weight with ease shows that he is extremely powerful.
But these are not the main attack techniques. Under the pressure of the mountains and the flames, a flash of light got into the soft sedan before the Taoist's sleeves were in full swing.
When the soft sedan was attacked, it instantly emitted a bright light, its own protection was triggered, and the layers of restrictions were opened one after another, and were destroyed layer by layer in the sudden attack of the flying sword.
Thirteen layers of protection prove that this soft sedan is far from being as ordinary as it seems on the surface. It is a truly top-notch flying magic weapon that can only be made and owned by a Daomen like Qi Men.
The stronger the defense, the more authentic and credible the message is.
Hou Zi has tried his best!
Even if he has doubts about all of this, even if he thinks that he has fallen into some kind of trap, he also knows very well that intuition cannot replace judgment. It is also possible that he is suspicious, and in fact, all this is not that complicated in the first place.
complex?
For this reason, he did not hold back, but used his strongest sword attack. However, others were hiding in the building complex to fire the sword, so others did not know that what was struck was not only a sword, but also a person.
The powerful impact caused Feijian to break through all defenses and rush into the soft sedan. There were actually two people inside, one sitting and one lying down.
The sitting Taoist smiled slightly, and with a flick of his finger, the flying sword, which was almost at the end of the crossbow, was ejected. This move was so powerful that it almost ejected the sword spirit Hou Zi.
The flying sword fell like a star pill and fell into the building complex. At the same time, Tsuta knew in his heart that his mission had failed, and now his problem was how to escape.
