Xu Zizhen was shocked. Three thousand taels of silver cost my life? Am I that mean?
Zuo Shi said calmly: "I don't really want your life, just don't worry."
"What does that mean? Please tell me from the left." Xu Zizhen still didn't understand.
The Zuo envoy said: "The money is just for your shelter. Sanjuetang never treats anyone disrespectfully. Tomorrow morning, you will follow me to a certain place. I will tell you the specific situation in detail at that time. However, it may be dangerous, so
I just asked you if you are willing?"
Xu Zizhen was stunned, there is a mission so soon? Is the Sanjue Hall so short of manpower now?
He was thinking in his heart, but he replied: "Okay, whether it's dangerous or not, I don't care about that!"
Zuo Shi nodded: "Well, from today on, you two will be my Sanjuetang Xuanjie Martial Arts Officer."
…
After leaving the small courtyard, Xu Zizhen began to think about it. Sanjue Hall was so prestigious that she would not be so anxious to ask him and Li Meng, the two newcomers, to join the mission immediately. Moreover, she also said that this mission has
There is a certain danger, even for such a huge organization, it is said to be dangerous, so what exactly is this mission?
Li Meng had nothing to think about. He just lowered his hands to study the black robe on his body while walking beside Xu Zizhen. Now they both wore the same clothes as Tianlang and Zuo Shi, except that they had two golden stripes on the hem of their clothes.
Ripple, Xu Zizhen has a slender figure, and his clothes are eye-catching, but Li Meng is still small, so he looks a bit funny in that robe.
Sirius took the two of them to a side room and left. This room was not very big, and all daily utensils were available inside. Several rooms around were also empty and silent, obviously no one was there.
Xu Zizhen wanted to look around the empty house where he lived to find out what was going on. After thinking about it, he finally gave up. He was new here and he didn't know if anyone was watching around.
After a night of silence, Xu Zizhen and Li Meng were like two people wandering around the world. They went to bed early to rest without even speaking a few words.
Before the sun rose the next day, Sirius knocked on the door. As soon as he entered the house, he handed over three banknotes in denominations of one thousand taels.
Said: "Brother Tianlang, are you going on a mission so early?"
Tianlang smiled and said: "Using people's money to eliminate disasters, not to mention Brother Xu, you are now a Xuan-level martial artist. If you win a few merits, I'm afraid you will be on the same level as me."
Xu Zizhen put on a flattering smile and said: "Brother Tianlang, are you kidding me? I, Old Xu, have never had any ambitions. I only want three meals of food and clothing. I can't even imagine that you can lead me into Sanjue Hall."
How could I dare to think so much about my blessing? I would like to ask Sirius to protect me."
As he spoke, he secretly stuffed a banknote to Tianlang. Tianlang refused, but stuffed the banknote into his arms, pretending to be unhappy and said: "Brother Xu, why are you doing this? We
Brother, do you still need this?"
Xu Zizhen secretly laughed in his heart and said no more. Money is a good thing. Since he plans to touch the water of Sanjuetang in Xixia, he must have such a silly fish to guide him.
Not long after, Sirius led Xu Zizhen and Li Meng to the backyard. There were already several large cars parked here, and the carriages were covered with thick velvet curtains. Sirius secretly pointed at the last one, and Xu Zizhen pulled Li Meng.
He quickly got in.
The sound of cars rumbled, and the convoy headed out of the city. It was cold in the northwest, and it was winter again. Xu Zizhen felt it was getting colder and colder, and his hands and feet began to feel a little stiff. Finally, after more than half an hour, the car stopped.
Sirius waved his hand and everyone got out of the car.
Xu Zizhen stretched his hands and feet and took a look at the surrounding environment. He saw that this was a quiet street. It was still early and the shops on both sides of the street were still closed.
A total of more than thirty people came out of the convoy, all dressed in black robes, some with black or yellow robes. A man in black got out of the first car with the leader, but there were three golden ripples on the hem of his clothes. He was obviously with Sirius.
Belong to the same level.
The man looked extremely arrogant. Even when he looked at Sirius, he was not polite. He just glanced sideways, then waved his hand and shouted: "Hide each other!"
"Yes!" More than thirty men in black responded in unison and quickly dispersed from where they were, each hiding in the surrounding shops or rooftops.
Xu Zizhen was still confused. Tianlang pulled him and nuzzled at a nearby shop. Xu Zizhen immediately understood and jumped in with Li Meng.
This shop doesn't look special from the outside, but it's empty inside. It's obvious that Sanjuetang has already prepared for this lurking. Xu Zizhen didn't ask any questions, just crouched inside the window with Li Meng, looking through the narrow window.
Looking out through the crack in the window.
The streets became quiet and deserted again, and the wind blew up the loess on the street, creating small wind beams visible to the naked eye.
Xu Zizhen recalled for no reason the ancient costume blockbusters he had seen before. Didn't those killers always hide their figures like this? Then the target appeared, and dozens of people jumped out with a loud shout, only to be shot by a flurry of arrows.
Thinking of this, he suddenly shuddered. No wonder the Zuo envoy was so happy to join him. Did he regard himself as cannon fodder? I don't know who is going to ambush this time, but judging from the battle, it is probably not bad.
I don't know how long it took, the sun gradually rose, sweeping out a golden strip of light on the street. Xu Zizhen was already squatting a little impatiently. He just couldn't help but want to ask Sirius, but heard a faint sound from the distance.
Gong sounds.
Sirius perked up and whispered: "Stop talking, people are coming!"
Xu Zizhen said anxiously: "You haven't told me what to do yet."
Sirius blocked the mouth of the scabbard at his waist with one hand, quietly pulled out the knife, waved his palm in vain, and mouthed: "Kill!"
The sound of the gong was getting closer and closer, and Xu Zizhen's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. He had killed people before and rushed through the army, but this was the first time he had done such an ambush and assassination. He held the Tang sword tightly, and the sweat in his palms could not help but seep out.
As he stood, he soon saw a neatly formed line of honor guards slowly approaching. The two rows of sergeants at the head held up the silence cards in their hands, and there was also a square plate with gold letters on a black background and three large characters written on it - Privy Council.
Xu Zizhen's heart skipped a beat, and his mouth went dry for a moment. The administrative structure of Xixia was modeled after that of the Song Dynasty, almost exactly the same. Privy Council, could it be said that the privy envoys of Xixia were in this honor guard?
He took a breath of air-conditioning: How could Sanjuetang start thinking about this first-class official? Could it be...
There were dozens of pairs of eyes all around the street staring at the guard of honor, but the guards holding the guard of honor high did not seem to notice it at all and were still walking with their heads held high. Suddenly, from an unknown corner on the street, a loud shout came out: "Kill!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dozens of figures in black jumped out of the windows on both sides of the street at the same time, heading straight for the honor guard with sharp steel knives.
