Chapter 166: The Wind and Rain Are Coming (Part 2)
At the bottom of Qianbo Lake, there is a secret room in the water, and everyone is waiting for it.
Since the general manager is the head of an organization, everyone in the organization must obey the general manager's orders. No matter whether the organization is long-term or temporary, it always needs a leading general manager, otherwise it will not work.
change.
The Silver Escort is the boss, at least for now. He will only take off this title after the case is completed and the benefits are reaped. The boss is actually a very nice title, and whenever someone takes on this role
Sometimes, he would feel the pleasure of having great power.
However, being the boss is not that easy. Once you become the boss, you have to take on corresponding responsibilities. Therefore, it is fun to be the boss, but there is no need to feel sad after taking off this title.
.
Half a year has passed since the last time he committed a crime. Last time, he entangled a group of people to steal a piece of Ruyi jade from the prince's palace. After selling it, he received 400,000 taels of silver. He has spent half a year squandering the 400,000 taels of stolen money, and now
There was only a few dozen taels of silver left in his pocket.
It is his usual style to spend all the money he gets from committing crimes as quickly as possible. When he has no money in his pocket, he naturally has to find ways to commit crimes to make more money. Only an empty wallet can make him full of motivation. Once he has money in his pocket, he will
You will become a lazy person.
Isn't it an interesting life to commit crimes to make money, squander it all, and then commit crimes again to make money, over and over again?
At least Silver Dart himself thinks it is very interesting. This is the life he has chosen. Living in this life, he is happy every day.
The time should be almost up. Although there are no timekeeping tools in this secret room hidden deep under the lake, and there are no watchmen beating gongs or drums, the Silver Guard can still clearly feel the passage of time and mark it with precise markings.
Scale. It's like there is a big corona inside his head, which never goes wrong.
It's almost there, but it's not there yet. Since the time has not arrived, those invited will naturally not come.
Going to the Silver Escort Club is very dangerous and full of uncertainty. No one will come here in advance except the Silver Escort Client himself.
There are still two quarters of an hour until May 20th. During these two quarters of an hour, the Silver Guard has nothing to do.
Being extremely bored, he took out one of his signature silver darts and put it in his hand to play with. This small, exquisite and extremely sharp silver dart had an aggressive aesthetic. This silver dart was his signature, and he could use it
A mere silver dart summoned the underworld people to his side. This silver dart was also his weapon. He took out the dart with his hand and never missed a shot. As time went by, this silver dart seemed to be more famous than he himself.
He flipped his fingers, causing the sharp silver darts to dance on his fingertips. The silver darts danced faster and faster, and finally turned into a ball of cold silver light, and his palms also turned into countless afterimages.
He played for a full two-quarters of an hour. When the time was about to reach May 20th, he suddenly stopped and clamped the silver dart tightly with two fingers.
The silver dart no longer danced, its palms no longer flipped, but the strong wind it had stirred up when it jumped did not stop. This strong wind swept through the whole room, blowing the dust into the corners, and the flame in the lamp also shook three times.
Shake. Thanks to the "wind-destroying lamp" in this room, it cannot be blown out no matter how strong the wind is.
"The Silver Dartsman is indeed a Silver Dartsman. His skill in playing darts is really superb. Seeing him today is really eye-opening for me." An old voice sounded from the stairs.
The time has come and so have the people.
On the shore of Qianbo Lake, the Silver Escorts have left obvious marks. As long as the invitees come, they can easily find this secret room buried deep under the lake. However, in the process of coming, they must first
Snorkel a short distance in the icy lake bottom.
The silver escort heard the voice and recognized the identity of the person who came, and turned to look over.
There was an old man standing at the entrance of the stairs. There were traces of wind and frost on his tied hair, and there were many obvious wrinkles on his face. Only his eyes did not look old. He was more energetic than most young people, like two bright lights.
.His face is square, his chin is angular, and his figure is very tall. It can be seen that he must have been a rough and strong man when he was young. He is wearing a short gray suit and carries a short handle on his back.
Hammer, this kind of weapon is rare in the world. His cultivation level is not low, and he can use his internal force to protect his whole body when swimming, so his body is not wet by the lake water.
As expected by the Silver Escort, the visitor was none other than one of the invitees, Shi Potianjing. Zhao Lei! He is an old man who is good at using a hammer and likes to collect strange stones and jades. It is said that he has some friendship with the Qishimen.
Zhao Lei is not a member of the underworld, nor has he done anything evil, but he is short of money, or he is always short of money. Collecting rare stones and jade is really a very expensive hobby. Only those who are short of money can do it.
Only people are willing to collude with silver escorts, and only those who are short of money have the courage to take risks.
"Uncle Zhao, you're here. I'm really sorry that I invited you here in the middle of the night and disturbed your retreat." The silver escort smiled. His laughter was full of joy, but the smile was hidden behind
Under a silver mask. There are many people in the world who know him as a silver escort, but there are very few people who have seen his appearance, and most of them have become dead.
"Hello, Uncle Zhao, you are so affectionate. If I remember correctly, this should be the first time we have met." Zhao Lei walked up proudly, with a majestic aura like a boulder rolling down a mountain.
"This is the second time we've met. I've already met you before when I shot darts at your rocks, but you haven't met me."
"You still have the nerve to say that you broke my beloved stone. I don't know how to settle this debt with you."
"For the sake of me calling you uncle, I don't think we'll settle this debt."
"It's OK not to count that debt, but this debt needs to be settled carefully." Zhao Lei raised his hand, holding a silver dart in his hand.
"This is not an account, but a business that makes a lot of money." The silver escort smiled even more.
"I would like to hear the details and listen to the high opinions."
"I will not explain the specific plan in detail until everyone is here. If I finish telling you now, I will have to say it again later. I really don't like to waste words."
"How many people are involved in this business?" Zhao Lei asked with a frown.
"Not many, there are only five of us including you and me." The Silver Guard held out five fingers.
"Is five people too few?"
"The fewer people there are, the less likely it is for mistakes to be made, and with fewer people, the money will naturally be more. To be honest, I am a very spendthrift person, and if I have less money, it will not be enough for me to spend."
"How much does each person get from this business?"
"Don't worry, I know a few good buyers who can write off their accounts. They will definitely sell it for a high price. I will never treat any of you badly."
"Who is participating?"
"Haha, you don't have to rush to find out. When the other people arrive, you will naturally know who they are. Come on, come on, I have a pot of hot tea here. Let's drink while we wait. It is estimated that the other people will arrive soon.
." The silver escort invited with a smile.
Zhao Lei suppressed all the questions, strode to the table and sat opposite the silver escort.
The silver guard rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the big teapot on the table, and filled more than half a cup of hot tea for Zhao Lei opposite him, and also poured a cup of tea for himself.
The Silver Guard's strength was enough to kill Zhao Lei easily, so Zhao Lei didn't have to worry about the poison in the tea. He picked up the tea cup, took a sip with confidence, smacked his lips and said, "With all due respect, this tea is not very good."
"This is indeed not good tea. It only costs a few copper coins and a tael. It is really disrespectful to entertain distinguished guests with this kind of bad tea. I hope Uncle Zhao will forgive me." The silver guard smiled bitterly and sighed, "It's all my fault for the damage on my body.
All my money has been spent, otherwise why would I serve such bad tea to guests?"
"With your strength, it's not easy to make money." Zhao Lei said indifferently.
"It's really not difficult. As long as I find a corrupt official and walk around the corrupt official's house, my pocket will naturally be bulging. But I'm not interested in making that kind of small money. Since I want to make money, I have to make a big one. If it's just for a mere
If I take action for thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels, won't I lose my reputation as a silver escort?" The silver escort said proudly.
"From this point of view, thieves also want to save face, especially a thief like you."
"That's right, a man breathes a breath, a Buddha is a stick of incense. A hero should worry about his reputation as a knight, and a thief like me should also worry about my own reputation as a thief." Silver Guard laughed.
The two chatted for a while. The silver escort didn't want Zhao Lei to ask questions, so he kept dominating the conversation and deliberately asked some questions about strange stones and jade. Zhao Lei was a veteran at this and spoke eloquently.
Unconsciously, about a quarter of an hour later, the second invitee came down the stairs.
This man walked very lightly, and when he walked in, even the silver escort couldn't hear his voice. He walked lightly, but he was not light at all. He was a big fat man through and through, with a fat head and a belly like a general.
Some people are fat and ugly, and some people are cute when they are fat. He is the latter type. Although he is fat, he is not ugly, and he has a happy face.
This person has outstanding Qinggong and is known for his speed. He practices the Qinggong of Swallow Three Waters, which is where his nickname comes from. He is called "Swallow". There are definitely not many "Swallows" as fat as him in the world.
He is such a person. His background is not as clean as Zhao Lei. He is a thief in the underworld, and has done some things such as climbing over walls and being admitted to the hospital.
The real name of Chaoshui Yanzi is Yan Hongfei, so the silver guard stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Yan, we have finally waited for you."
"It's a long journey, and I was delayed a little while rushing, so I came a little late. I hope you two can forgive me. If you two refuse to forgive me, I can only punish myself with three drinks." Yan Hongfei said with a smile. He was laughing.
, there will be two small pits on both sides of the full face.
"Brother Yan came here just to reward me. What's the crime? Come on, please come this way. Let's sit down and talk." The silver guard pointed to another chair next to him.
"Thank you, thank you." Yan Hongfei clasped his fists, strode to the chair, and sat down. He didn't exert any force when he sat down, and the two pieces of fat on his buttocks were not squeezed.
, still remains the same. If you look closely, you can find that his buttocks is only slightly connected to the chair surface.
The silver escort poured a cup of tea for the second invitee, handed it to Yan Hongfei, and then chatted some gossip.
Yan Hongfei was more calm than Zhao Lei and did not rush to ask the Silver Guard's random questions, because he knew that when the time came, the Silver Guard would naturally tell the whole story.
The first two invitees came very quickly, but the third invitee did not come for a long time. Silver Escort organized a total of five people this time, but now they only have three people, and there are still two people missing.
Silver Escort was calm on the surface, but secretly he was a little anxious. It didn't matter if the other two came a little later, but if they didn't come, it would be troublesome. Each of the few people he selected was of great use, and one of them was missing.
No one can do it.
The three of them chatted for a long time, but eventually they couldn't find the topic and simply fell into silence.
The silver escort knew that this silence could not last long. After a while, the two people around him would have to force him to reveal his plan as soon as possible.
At this moment, several loud rooster crows came from the shore of Qianbo Lake, which meant that dawn was about to break.
Ever since the Silver Escort became famous, every time he summoned people, those people would come as scheduled. It was very rare that people didn't arrive until dawn. He secretly decided to set a specific time when recruiting people in the future.
To be more precise, we might as well shorten it to within an hour.
When the sound of hoofbeats ended, there was another plop sound on the Qianbo Lake, as if someone had plunged into the lake in a clumsy way.
People who jumped into Qianbo Lake at this time were either seeking suicide or rushing to attend a meeting. Obviously, the latter was more likely.
"Haha, finally here comes another one." The silver escort said with a smile again.
"This person came so late, didn't keep his promise, and dived so loudly. He doesn't look like a master of martial arts." Zhao Lei frowned.
"The one who came this time may be 'Little Mouse'. Among the people I invited, he has the lowest cultivation level, but it's not enough without him, because I need his skillful hands that are good at picking locks." Silver Escort guessed
road.
However, he guessed wrong. The person who came in was not a little mouse, but an inconspicuous young man.
The young man looked about sixteen years old. He was wearing simple clothes and looked very nervous. A pair of bright eyes swept around. The first two invitees had very high cultivation levels and could use their internal strength to separate the water of the lake.
He couldn't keep his clothes dry, as all his clothes were soaked by the lake water, dripping with water on the ground.
The silver escort couldn't laugh anymore because he didn't invite any young people at all.
"You are the famous Silver Dart, right? I came to the meeting on the order of Master. He is busy with assignments and cannot attend the meeting, so he asked me to take his place." The young man straightened his expression and took out a Silver Dart from his body.
As a proof, he then bowed respectfully to the silver escort.
"Your master can't be that little mouse. Since he's not a little mouse, he should be 'Jiang Jiuzhi. Jiang Da'." The silver guard's expression suddenly softened. Jiang Jiuzhi is a busy man, so it's normal that he can't come.
"Yes, Jiang Jiuzhi is my master's nickname." The young man nodded.
"It's such a pity that the Master couldn't be here."
"Master sent me to replace him with full authority. If you have any orders, just tell me and I will go back and convey them to Master."
"Can you make the decision on your master's behalf?"
"Yes, before I leave, master has given me this right."
"That's good."
At this point, Yan Hongfei on the side interrupted with a smile: "So you invited that old gambler from the Taishan Sect."
When he heard the words "old gambler", the young man's face changed and he looked very uncomfortable.
The old gambler was referring to the young master Jiang Jiuzhi. This man was addicted to gambling, lost more than he won, and owed a lot of gambling debts. Because of this, the head of the Taishan Sect once scolded him heavily.
Suddenly, he felt ashamed and cut off one of his index fingers in front of the boss, and vowed never to gamble again. This is how he became Jiang Jiuzhi and got his nickname.
Logically speaking, after making such a big determination, Jiang Jiuzhi should have given up gambling completely. However, his nature is easy to change and he only persisted for a mere two years. Later, he returned to his old ways and started gambling secretly without telling the boss. To this day
I haven't been able to quit completely.
"Gamblers sometimes have benefits. Only gamblers will lose money. If they lose money, they will be in debt. If they are in debt, they will be in a hurry to use money. If they are in a hurry to use money, they will join us. If you are not in a hurry to use money, like Jiang Jiuzhi
How could a person like that agree to collude with us?" the silver escort laughed.
"You just mentioned Little Mouse, is he also our accomplice?" Yan Hongfei said.
"Yes, he is the only one missing now."
"Besides being able to pick locks, he has no other skills. His martial arts skills in all aspects are ordinary."
"What I need is his ability to pick locks. This case will not work without someone who is good at picking locks."
Zhao Lei could not hold back his anger for a long time and suggested: "No matter how important he is, there is nothing you can do if he refuses to come. In my opinion, you should tell the plan as soon as possible. Maybe halfway through, the little
The rats will come."
"That's good. Since Mr. Zhao can't wait any longer, I will inform everyone of the plan in advance. After the little mouse comes, I will tell him again." The silver escort nodded in agreement and put his hand on the back of the Taishan sect boy.
, "Little brother, you represent your master and are also a distinguished guest. Come over and sit." As he spoke, he quietly used his internal power in his hands to create a stream of heat, which dried the young man's wet clothes.
The young man suddenly felt comfortable all over, and he had a good impression of the silver escort. He felt that the silver escort was not as bad as the rumors, so he said thank you sincerely.
After all four people sat down, the silver guard cleared his throat and said seriously: "The target I am targeting this time is the Zichu Sword. This sword has caused a lot of commotion in the world recently, and the price has been driven up relatively high. It is for ordinary buyers.
The price is about one million taels, and some good buyers I know can offer it for about four to five million taels. If you can get this sword, the profit will be quite huge. As we all know, this sword is now in
The rising sun is rising. In Zhao Zheng's hands, he is just a sixth-level heavenly martial artist, nothing to fear. According to reliable information, he will leave the Sword-making Villa in a few days and go to the Taishan Sect. This is a good person to seize the Zichu Sword.
Chance……"
"Although Zhao Zheng is not something to be afraid of, Zhujian Villa is very powerful and should not be underestimated. They will definitely send people to protect him. These people are the biggest obstacle to seizing the Zichu Sword." Yan Hongfei said, rubbing his round chin.
"Yes, these talents who protect Zhao Zheng are the most difficult to deal with. Although we don't know how many there are and how powerful they are, they are definitely not something that just a few of us can deal with."
"If you can't deal with it, how can you seize the sword?"
"If you can't plunder, you will naturally have to use cleverness."
"How to do it cleverly?"
"Zhao Zheng rushed from Zhujian Villa to the Taishan Sect. He would be careful and take precautions along the way. There was no chance to make a move. So I thought of a bold plan. We would not take action on the road, but wait until Zhao Zheng arrived at the Taishan Sect.
Let's do it again!" Silver Escort replied excitedly with his eyes shining. Whenever he thinks of a seamless crime plan, he will become extremely excited, and when the plan is implemented, this excitement will be doubled.
As soon as this statement came out, several people present were surprised by it, which greatly exceeded their expectations.
According to ordinary people's thinking, they will definitely snatch the Zichu sword on the road, because the Taishan sect is a famous sect with strong strength and many masters. There is no chance to do it. It will be much harder to do it in the Taishan sect than on the road.
.
"Silver Escort, are you kidding? How can we provoke such a behemoth as the Taishan Sect? If we take action within the Taishan Sect, we will be like moths flying into the flame." Yan Hongfei wrinkled his fat face.
steamed stuffed bun.
"The Taishan Sect is indeed more difficult to deal with than the Sword-Forming Villa, but there are a few things you need to know. First, no one has dared to break into the Taishan Sect for several years. The Taishan Sect has lived a comfortable life for so long. The defense within the sect
There has been some laxity; secondly, in order to save face, Zhujian Villa will do its best to protect Zhao Zheng's Zhouquan, but the Taishan Sect will not do this. The protection intensity of the two is completely different; thirdly, we do not need
I have a head-on confrontation with the Taishan Sect, because I already have a way to sneak into the Taishan Sect quietly; fourthly, we have a helper in the Taishan Sect, and he will open a door of convenience for us." After saying the fourth point, the Silver Guard turned around to look.
He turned to the Taishan sect boy and asked with a smile, "Am I right? Little brother."
"Yes, my master is willing to help you." The young man agreed.
After listening to this story, the expressions of the other two people present softened and they initially recognized the feasibility of this plan.
The Yin escort went on to talk about the detailed plan, and every step was considered carefully. If everything goes well, the first sword will almost become the possession of several of them! The other people listened more and more happily,
Except for the young man from the Taishan Sect, everyone showed greedy eyes.
"I hired a total of four helpers this time, and everyone is of great use. Uncle Zhao has a 'good stone', Brother Yan has a pair of good legs, and Uncle Jiang, who is not here, can be our back-up, and the little mouse who is late is
I have a pair of good lock-picking hands..." The silver escort took out the shining silver dart and held it between his two fingers, "And I have a silver dart that never fails!"
