In a dim hut, two middle-aged men sat opposite each other. But the difference was that one of them was an old man in gorgeous clothes and a kind face. The other was covered in bandages and looked sick.
The appearance of a serious injury that has not yet healed.
The seriously injured man raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "This time, I would like to thank Sect Leader Zhang and all the masters of An Xiao for their timely help. Otherwise, I would have really fallen into the hands of Jin Yiwei."
"Hey, Mr. Wu is so polite." The other person immediately raised the wine glass in his hand and said modestly: "Mr. Wu has profound skills and rich experience. Even without this sect, he can leave calmly. This sect is just a
It’s just the icing on the cake.”
Listening to the conversation between these two people, it turned out that it was Mr. Wu who was sent by the Yan Dynasty to bring trouble to the Ming Dynasty, and the other one was Zhang Qiming, the head of the dark gang. Time passed by as the two complimented each other, and after three rounds of drinking,
As the food passed by, the two of them gradually became a little intoxicated, and at the same time they became more and more speculative.
Zhang Bing picked up his wine glass again and boasted with a smile, "The imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty are the personal guards of the Ming Emperor. Mr. Wu has been able to escape from the imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty several times. Mr. Wu's strength is evident!"
"In front of Sect Leader Zhang, who am I to be considered a master?" Hearing Sect Master An Xiao say this, Mr. Wu felt a little embarrassed. "As for the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty, maybe I am just lucky."
"But..." Mr. Wu pondered for a while, and then said, "I have fought against the Jin Yiwei several times. The Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty are known as the Ming Emperor's personal guards, but their strength is not that great. Otherwise, I won't.
It is impossible to escape several times. Is it true that the Ming Dynasty has its appearance? It is just an empty frame and may not be as powerful as we imagined."
"No, the Ming Kingdom is still very powerful." Zhang Qiming sighed deeply and said helplessly, "To be honest, our An Xiao people have also tried to attract the attention of the Ming Kingdom, but in the end we failed.
"
"Oh" An An heard what Zhang Qiming said, and Mr. Wu immediately became interested. "An Xiao once inquired about the strength of the Ming Dynasty, what its strength was, and whether it was worthy of being an enemy of the Yan Dynasty."
"This... I don't know about this." Zhang Qiming was obviously still brooding about what happened back then. He said with great dissatisfaction, "Back then, the Ming Dynasty encircled and suppressed our dark owl branch. In anger, our sect ordered the assassination of senior officials of the Ming Dynasty.
, but ended up with a bloody head."
"What?" Mr. Wu was quite surprised by this. "Everyone knows that An Xiao is the number one killer organization in Youzhou. The people inside are proficient in assassination. It can be said that they are invincible. Even you can't deal with these high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Not bad." He swallowed the wine in the glass in one gulp. Then Zhang Qizong said embarrassedly, "In order to assassinate the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, I secretly sent many gold medal killers, and even jade medal killers. As a result, almost all of these killers were wiped out.
The strength of the Ming Dynasty is evident. This is why our sect only agreed to assassinate those local officials and did not dare to enter the capital of the Ming Dynasty to take action."
"That's right." After listening to Zhang Qiming's words, Mr. Wu nodded in agreement, "Even Guizong's Jade Medal Killer can't do anything to them. Mingguo's strength is really not weak."
"That's not right. The Ming Dynasty is so powerful, so why are the Ming Emperor's personal guards so weak?" Immediately realizing that something was wrong, Mr. Wu immediately said, "Could it be that the powerful foreign country is trying to intimidate others? It's just a trap set to frighten others."
.”
"Sect Master Zhang," Mr. Wu put his face forward and whispered, "Why don't you send someone to test the reality of the Ming Dynasty? Sect Master Zhang, don't worry, our Yan Dynasty will definitely not miss the price for you. And once the Ming Kingdom is proved,
It’s just a false show, the Yan Dynasty immediately sent troops to remove this thorn in An Xiao’s side.”
In his heart, he was very dissatisfied with Mr. Wu, but on the face of his face, Zhang Qiming still smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, the Ming Dynasty is so powerful that even the Yan Dynasty does not dare to ignore its edge. If it were not for the Yan Dynasty, our little secret lord would
Support, how dare you take action.""
"Hmph! Not greedy enough," Mr. Wu cursed in his heart, but on the surface he was still smiling. "Zhang Zongzhu just asked An Xiao to test the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and did not ask An Xiao to take action."
"Mr. Wu, we don't need to talk in circles." Zhang Qiming sneered and said lightly, "The Yan Dynasty was afraid that the Ming Kingdom would be too powerful, so it did not dare to test the Ming Kingdom. In other words, the number of people who went there were already dead. The Yan Dynasty was afraid
We, the dark owl, are also afraid of losing our troops and generals. If the Ming Dynasty notices this, we, the dark owl, will not be able to live with it."
"Sect Master Zhang, our Yan Dynasty will not let the dark owl do this business in vain." He took out a small gold-inlaid box from behind and handed it to the front. Mr. Wu said with a smile, "Sect Master Zhang, this is just a deposit, there will be more after the matter is completed.
Thank you very much!”
When he opened the box and took a look, Zhang Qiming's eyes flashed, his face immediately turned 180 degrees, and he said with a smile, "This sect and the Dayan Dynasty are now in a cooperative relationship. How can this be embarrassing?"
While putting the box in his arms, Zhang Qiming said, "Actually, since the last defeat, our dark owl has also tested the strength of the Ming Kingdom. It turned out that the six ministers of the Ming Kingdom were all masters of the extraordinary stage. There were even two at that time.
This general has the perfect strength of the extraordinary stage and is not adulterated at all. As for the other forces in the Ming Kingdom, we are not very clear about it, but we can be sure that there must be stronger masters in the Ming Kingdom."
"This old fox fooled me with such unclear information." Mr. Wu felt dissatisfied, but he still said calmly, "How does Sect Master Zhang know that the Ming Dynasty does not only have this kind of human city appearance?"
"Of course!" Zhang Qiming curled his lips arrogantly, and then said lightly, "There is a super master in the Red Flame Sect who has transcended the secular stage. Mr. Wu should know about it."
Mr. Wu nodded and said in agreement, "I have indeed heard something. I heard that this is a master that the Scarlet Flame Sect has been secretly training. He can only show up at the final moment of life and death."
"That's right." Zhang Qiming continued, "My secret agent also has an informant in the Red Flame Sect. This informant once accidentally saw that this master in the secular stage was respectful to a white-haired middle-aged official from the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Wu, can you
If a master in the transcendent stage is so afraid, then his strength must be above that of the master from the Scarlet Flame Sect."
"Oh, that's right." Mr. Wu frowned tightly and said with some worry, "This shows that the internal strength of the country is really not weak anymore, and it is not even under our Great Yan Dynasty. Thank you very much, Sect Leader Zhang, for letting me
Got such important news.”
"Wherever, it is Zhang's blessing to be able to serve the Yan Dynasty. Besides, we have a common enemy." Zhang Qiming smiled hypocritically, and then raised his glass immediately, "Come on, Mr. Wu, I'll toast you with another drink."
.”
"Thank you so much, Sect Master Zhang..."
Finally coming out of the hut, several men in black clothes and veils subdued Zhang Qiming. Not far away, Zhang Qiming, who seemed drunk, immediately became energetic.
Seeing that Zhang Qiming was fine, several people immediately shouted respectfully, "Sect Master!"
"Yes!" Zhang Qiming nodded slightly, and then said, "Be careful and send someone to double the surveillance here."
One of the "Sect Leaders" asked with some confusion, "Isn't Mr. Wu our employer? Why should we do this?"
"Now we are in a relationship of using each other, and we have no friendship with each other. We might become enemies at some point, so we have to be careful!"
"I understand, and please rest assured, Sect Master, that every move Mr. Wu makes will be under Sect Master's control."
"Well, very good!" Zhang Ming nodded with satisfaction, and then said nervously, "Order all disciples to strengthen their security and be careful to guard against Ming Kingdom's surprise attack."
"Sect Master, this is one of the headquarters of An Xiao, Ming Kingdom should not be able to find it here!"
"What do you know? Be careful when sailing a ten thousand year ship." Zhang Qiming sighed softly and said with some worry, "I heard that although the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty is not strong, they are good at snooping for information. They may not be able to find out here. Besides,
I have been developing secretly for hundreds of years, and many of my secrets are no longer secrets. They may not know about this stronghold..." (To be continued...)
