The world's number one assassin organization has a mysterious origin and unknown leader. It is said to have lasted for hundreds of years.
There are four levels of killers in the building: Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang. As long as the money is in place, there is no one in the world that the Opera House would not dare to kill.
This is explicit information.
But in fact, various speculations about the current leader of Xilinglou have always pointed to one person - Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, the chief minister of the current cabinet.
There's just no evidence.
Others may just be suspicious, but Cao Jinxing is almost certain that the mastermind behind Xi Ling Tower is Yan Shifan!
To maintain the operation of such a large organization, there must be enough financial resources; to recruit so many and such powerful killers, it also requires enough manpower.
With these two things, there are only a handful of people in the entire Ming Dynasty who can achieve such a great momentum!
Among these people, Yan Shifan is the only one who needs to use this kind of organization to eradicate dissidents!
There are many righteous people in the world. Under this background, if Yan Song and his son did not have their own power in the world, Yan Song and his son would have died ten thousand times just because of the series of dirty things they did to persecute loyal people and monopolize power and harm the country!
In terms of emotion and reason, Yan Shifan and Xi Linglou are inseparable from each other.
"Why are you targeting me?"
Cao Jinxing frowned and thought: "Why are you targeting me? Could it be that... you want the Fire Turtle to extend Yan Song's life? Calculating his age, he is indeed almost seventy. This should be the most reliable guess... The question is, let Jiajing
Knowing that you dare to steal his things, this is not extending your life, it is seeking death! This matter is top secret, who will leak it? And also revealed it to the Yan family... Pei Yangchun? Bai Yunxiu? It doesn't make sense... Wait!
They can’t be from Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, right… Grass!”
Cao Jinxing's expression changed.
"Remember, there is another sect master of Wanshe Cave, Yang Qiancheng. His legs are only paralyzed, but he is not dead..."
Cao Jinxing secretly cursed himself as an idiot.
He actually missed it!
But how could he be related to Xi Ling Lou...
"It's useless to think about it now. When the rain stops, we must send a message to Pei Yangchun and ask him to kill that Yang Qiancheng! You will gain wisdom from every experience, and you will be able to do things more efficiently in the future..."
He looked up at the sky, and big raindrops hit his face: "It seems that we have to walk in the rain tonight. Very good, Opera House, Yan Shifan... we will settle this account slowly in the future."
He got on his horse, pulled the reins and rushed out of the inn.
Heavy rain, violent thunder and lightning.
The sweaty horse ran wildly in the thunder and lightning rain, the rain washed away the hoof prints, and Cao Jinxing disappeared like a ghost.
Three quarters of an hour later.
There were three more figures in the inn dressed in raincoats, motionless around the corpse, with zodiac masks on their faces, namely dragon, sheep and dog.
Xi Ling Lou Xuan Zi Killer Group - "Twelve Zodiac Signs".
"Hurry up, hurry up, or you'll be a step too late. Kill him with one sword, you underestimate him." Long said.
"I'm afraid it won't be so easy to catch the enemy now." Sheep sighed.
"There is nothing I can do. My little master is urging me. Near Lu'an Mansion, Xuan Ba is already a master. I didn't expect him to be so good." The dog followed.
"How?" Long looked at the dog: "Can we still find his location?"
The dog twitched its nose and shook its head helplessly: "With this weather and such a long time, there is nothing I can do. Besides, he is riding a bloody horse. Even if he knows the direction, who can catch up?"
Yang thought for a while: "Then we can only set up an ambush. There are countless routes back to Beijing, but there are only a few ways to enter Beijing."
"Um."
Long nodded: "Use the 'Invisible Falcon' to send a message to the capital, informing others to dispatch, and be sure to get the fire turtle before he returns to Zhenfusi!"
"yes!"
…
He ran for more than a hundred miles in the rain.
Cao Jinxing stayed away from the main road and took a detour to a remote town. There was only one inn in the town, called "Laifu Inn".
"This name makes me feel safe."
Cao Jinxing looked away, knocked on the door to wake up the waiter, and before he changed his face, he threw out a piece of silver. The waiter immediately beamed.
"Feed the horse and ask for another room."
"Okay, little one must prepare good fodder!"
Money can make the world go round.
Once the money is in place, the service will naturally improve accordingly.
The waiter said: "Your Majesty, you walked in the rain at night and your clothes are soaked through. How about I boil some hot water for you, take a bath, and boil a pot of wine to drive away the cold."
"I'm determined."
There are only a few hundred households in this remote and remote area, and the Opera House probably wouldn't even bother to set up an informant. Plus, the heavy rain cleans the traces, making it far safer than a town.
The waiter was very agile. He first led Cao Jin into the room, and then helped him prepare hot water, wine and food. The waiter was attentive and attentive.
Cao Jinxing gave another piece of silver as a tip. The waiter thanked him repeatedly, nodded and bowed and left.
Cao Jinxing took a hot bath, and Regulus XIV in his skin joined in the fun.
It has learned "Dragon Fire Concentration" and has the power of the Venerable Milarepa. Heavy rain does not touch its body, and its skin and body are very dry.
After finishing the food and drinks, Cao Jinxing changed into a light gown and lay down on the bed: "Looking for someone in the rain is no less than finding a needle in a haystack. If I were them, I would set up an ambush on the road I must pass and wait for work. I should be able to sleep peacefully tonight..."
Cao Jinxing felt relieved and touched Regulus's head: "Fourteen, keep an eye on it for me. I'm going to sleep first."
"Meow~"
Regulus was very energetic. He couldn't help the white dragon Gu before, but now that it has a place to use, he nestled under Cao Jinxing's neck and raised his ears to alert.
I slept until dawn.
Early the next morning, the rain stopped.
Cao Jinxing went downstairs to have breakfast and called the guy from last night: "Is there anyone in this town who can carve? How is the carving?"
"have."
The waiter smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are asking someone. There is a master named Jia in our town. It is said that he learned from Lu Zigang, the master of jade carving. The things he carves are so lifelike that they can look real and fake. Many noble people nearby come to ask for jade."
Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows: "I heard?"
The clerk smiled coquettishly: "He said so himself..."
"It doesn't matter."
Cao Jinxing said: "It doesn't matter whether he is right or not, as long as he can carve something that satisfies me. Invite him for me, and the benefits will be yours."
"Yes, little one, go and call him right now!"
Knowing how generous Cao Jinxing was, the guy rushed out in a hurry.
Not long after, a thin middle-aged man was called, carrying a box with jade materials and carving tools in his hand.
Without saying a word, Cao Jinxing took out the cold jade box, opened the lid, and pointed at the red turtle shell inside: "Whatever method you use, carve something similar to this for me."
He took out another ingot of gold and said, "As long as you satisfy me, these are all yours."
The guy's eyes immediately straightened.
The middle-aged man was also short of breath.
Cao Jinxing added: "Be quick."
"good!"
The middle-aged man's eyes were red. He rolled up his sleeves on the spot and was about to start a fight. Whoever stopped him would be in a hurry.
Two hours later.
Cao Jinxing got the finished product.
It has to be said that those who dare to claim the title of disciple of "Jade Master" still have two skills.
This turtle shell is carved from chicken blood stone, and has hundreds of millions of details added to it. It looks fiery red at first glance, and has clear texture, almost exactly like the real thing.
"very good."
Cao Jinxing was very satisfied: "The gold is yours."
The middle-aged man still couldn't believe it.
Cao Jinxing had already gotten up, took the dry food he bought, got on his horse, and rode back to Beijing...
