Lin Ze was not surprised by Tang San's appearance, but smiled slightly and said: "Master Tang, please take a seat."
That's right, Tang San is the contemporary head of the Tang family in Shu, Tang San, who is known as the "Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara".
The Tang family in Shu was the best at constructing hidden weapons and using poison. Their ancestors were once disciples of the Gongshu family.
Gongshujia ranked among the top fifteen in terms of strength among the hundreds of scholars that year.
However, in the war between Chu and Song, the Gongshu family competed with the Mohist family, which was more powerful at that time, so that their vitality was severely damaged, and the disciples of the sect suffered numerous casualties, and they gradually declined.
As an elite disciple of the Gongsun family, the ancestors of the Tang family took the opportunity to leave the Gongsun family and came to Shu to develop.
Relying on their superb concealed weapons and poison-using skills, the ancestors of the Tang family and their descendants gradually rose up in Shu.
However, in Shu, no matter whether it was concealed weapons or poison techniques, they were not regarded as the right way by the locals. Therefore, after the Tang family developed to a certain extent, they were suppressed by the established martial arts forces in Shu.
At the beginning, this kind of suppression was only reflected in the two aspects of "economic blockade" and "resource blockade", that is, the slightly larger forces in Shu would neither buy things from the Tang family nor sell things to the Tang family.
, the Tang family was in dire straits as a result.
The thing that really caused the decline of the Tang family was that ten years ago, an elite disciple of the Jiange died inexplicably under the Tang family's hidden weapon.
Jiange was furious because of this, and sent a team headed by the "Jingmeng Swordsman" to gather other forces in Shu that had enmity with the Tang family, and carried out a massacre against the Tang family.
That battle was undoubtedly Jing Meng's famous battle.
Jingmeng used his strange and ferocious nine-death sword technique to kill five sixth-grade elders of the Tang family in less than a month, shocking the Shu region.
With high morale, Jing Meng led a group of people to break through the Tang family's strongholds one by one, resulting in the tragic death of a large number of Tang family members.
Even the previous head of the Tang family died under Jingmeng's sword. Since then, the Tang family has been in a state of despair.
Originally, the Tang family was considered destroyed, but God did not destroy the Tang family. Among the remaining disciples of the Tang family, there was an astonishing disciple - Tang San.
Tang San's skill with hidden weapons and mechanisms directly caught up with his ancestors, and he was also good at the art of disguise.
Under the pursuit of many forces, he suddenly became famous as the "Thousand-Hand Guanyin". Originally, this was a story of fighting in the rivers and lakes, but Tang San didn't know what method he used to encourage the governor of Shu at that time to be willing to speak to Jiange for him.
and.
Although the governor of Shu at that time was like a puppet on strings, allowing the aristocratic families in Shu to bully his superiors and deceive others, his status was such that even Jiange could not despise him.
To be honest, with the remaining strength of the Tang family at that time, it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed. Because of the intervention of the governor of Shu, Jiange threw a rat weapon into the trap, and finally had to reach a verbal agreement with the Tang family:
Jiange is no longer allowed to pursue the Tang family, and the Tang family is not allowed to retaliate. If there is any violation, the governor's office will unite with another family to attack it.
Then Tang San took the remaining disciples to hide in the dark, licking their wounds and waiting for the opportunity to take revenge and revitalize the family.
This is why after Lin Ze came to Shu, he only heard the name of the Tang family in Shu, but never saw anyone from the Tang family in Shu.
The art of using hidden weapons and using poisons is just a side idea to others, but to Lin Ze's Jin Yiwei, it's a straight line.
Lin Ze spent a lot of effort to find the hidden disciples of the Tang family, and finally found the new generation head of the Tang family, Tang San step by step.
Tang San, thirty-nine years old, is at the beginning of the sixth level of martial arts.
Tang San looked at Lin Ze, and his usually calm state of mind stirred up huge waves. If he remembered correctly, when he met the admiral three years ago, he was clearly no more than a fifth-level martial artist, and a third-level one.
After not seeing each other for years, the other party is already at the sixth level.
Tang San lowered his gaze with difficulty, lowered his head and asked: "I wonder what the purpose of calling me is, sir?"
Lin Ze stared at Tang San for a while, and then said slowly: "Let me ask you, in an unexpected situation, with mental arithmetic but no intention, and trying your best, what realm of warriors can you successfully assassinate?"
Tang San was startled in his heart, and after thinking for a while he said: "If the opponent doesn't have any special means to save his life, it won't be a problem for me to assassinate an ordinary sixth-grade peak warrior."
Lin Ze said disapprovingly: "What if it's the sixth level of supernatural power realm?"
Tang San smiled bitterly and said: "Then it's hard to say. If someone awakens to a defensive magical power, no matter how unexpected he is, he may not be able to successfully assassinate him."
"Where's the sixth-grade mid-level?" Lin Ze said calmly.
Tang San replied decisively: "Nine times out of ten."
Lin Ze stroked his hand and said: "Okay, I want you to help kill someone, at least a sixth-grade mid-level person, who will have some life-saving means. It's just that this person has a special status. If you succeed, it's fine. If you fail, I'm afraid you will end up in the end."
It’s miserable, are you willing to accept it?”
Tang San said without changing his expression: "In these years, I have done a lot of things for you, and the rewards you have received are extremely generous. I wonder what the reward for this job is?"
Lin Ze said quietly: "Do you know the Ba family?"
Tang San's expression froze. Who in Shu didn't know about the Ba family?
Lin Ze looked at Tang San and said with a smile: "Don't you always want to revitalize the Tang family? If you can successfully complete this task, I can promise you to find a province in Daqin to fully support the Tang family.
Let the Tang family be like the Ba family in Shu, and stay in that province forever for generations to come."
Tang San's expression changed slightly, he took a step back, and said with dry lips: "My lord, your mission is more difficult than I imagined."
With Tang San's wisdom, he could make a simple guess and understand the horror of the matter. Killing someone could exchange for the Tang family to rule the province for generations to come. So how important is this person?
Lin Ze said calmly: "Pay and reward are often closely related. If you want to revitalize the Tang family, how can you do it without paying a price?"
Tang San's expression changed again and again, and Fang couldn't help but ask: "What if I fail?"
Lin Ze replied expressionlessly: "Do you still remember the person who asked you to train in the art of using hidden weapons and poison? The Tang family's children can join them after passing the assessment, and they will have a worry-free life. If there are any left,
I will ask people to send them out of Shu, and protect them for another thirty years. After thirty years, they will fend for themselves."
Tang Sanli thought there for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said: "I have accepted this mission. I hope you will not disappoint me. I wonder who you want to kill?"
Lin Ze smiled slightly and said: "It is a wise choice to seek wealth in danger. The person I want to kill cannot die yet, and his status is naturally noble. I have called you here today just to tell you the matter in advance. I will wait for you later.
I'll let you know when we're about to move out."
"When you go back, prepare the most lethal hidden weapons and extremely powerful poisons, and wait for my orders at any time."
