"Thank you, Your Majesty. I wonder when your Majesty will send the letter to you?"
After Pang Wu failed to assassinate Dugu Yue, he knew that his identity had been exposed. Although he didn't know why Dugu Yue hadn't been found after such a long time, he didn't take any chances.
Maybe Duguyue is not here now, but she is not sure how to deal with him, and is now recruiting people.
As a gold medal killer of the Blood Crow organization, Pang Wu had a thorough investigation of Dugu Yue's information and connections after arriving in the royal capital.
He knew that Dugu Yue had at least close friendships with three or more Martial Kings. If he passively waited for Dugu Yue to attack, he would definitely be doomed.
Now that the emperor has this order, Pang Wu naturally wants to leave the city as soon as possible. Maybe after reporting Dugu Yue's information, the organization can give him a lighter punishment even if the mission fails.
Pang Wu had a good idea in his mind, but he never imagined that the emperor had abandoned him long ago and was planning to get rid of him with the help of Dugu Yue.
And Duguyue had no intention of asking anyone to deal with him from the beginning to the end. When he learned that the killer of the Blood Crow organization who came to assassinate him was him, he had already decided to proceed as planned.
If the last face Dugu Yue saw was someone else's, even though they were far apart, Dugu Yue would have already chased him and eradicated it. Why would they want to find someone to deal with him together?
Now if Dugu Yue stands still, the plan will proceed as usual, and it just so happens that the emperor plans to use Dugu Yue's help to deal with the spies around him.
Duguyue also happened to want to kill the killer of the Blood Crow organization. The two hit it off, they had the same purpose and each got what they needed.
And if Dugu Yue went to the palace to reveal Pang Wu's identity, Pang Wu would be besieged in time because of his identity being exposed. However, with his strength at the peak of the Martial King Realm, he would definitely be able to come and go freely. In a confrontation with high-level warriors, the numerical advantage would be
compressed to a minimum.
At that time, Dugu Yue will still be trapped in a one-on-one fight with Pang Wu, and facing Pang Wu who wants to leave, Dugu Yue will never be able to stay.
In this case, it would be better for the emperor to think of a reason to send Pang Wu out of the city, while Dugu Yue went to intercept and kill him.
I believe that if faced with Dugu Yue alone, Pang Wu would definitely no longer leave alone, but would choose to let go and kill Dugu Yue with all his strength.
In that way, as long as you remove Dugu Yue, the only one who knows his identity, you don't have to worry about your identity being exposed, and you can get the reward of killing Dugu Yue, killing two birds with one stone.
"If Commander Pang has nothing urgent to deal with, the sooner he sets out, the better. This matter is related to the rise and fall of the country and cannot be delayed."
The emperor did not give any specific time, but gave Pang Wu a hint that the sooner the better.
And when is the fastest time?
That was of course now, but the emperor didn't explicitly ask Pang Wu to leave overnight, so Pang Wu was intercepted and killed by Dugu Yue. Even if he managed to escape by luck, the emperor couldn't be blamed.
In fact, in the emperor's mind, if Dugu Yue really ambushed Pang Wu and wanted to kill him, then Pang Wu would definitely have a narrow escape, and the chance of escape would be extremely small.
Because the emperor didn't know Pang Wu's identity at all, he just thought he was very suspicious and wanted to get rid of him.
The emperor also did not understand Pang Wu's true strength, because Pang Wu pretended to be a warrior at the peak of the Wuhou realm and could cross the ranks to fight against the Martial Lord, so he was only the third commander of the Imperial Guard.
The emperor did not understand Pang Wu's strength, but he did have some understanding of Dugu Yue's strength, although he understood that Dugu Yue's cultivation level was not very high.
But it is no secret that Dugu Yue refined the sixth level elixir and severely injured half of the Martial Lord Realm experts with one palm.
If Dugu Yue, who can seriously injure most martial lords with one palm, wants to deal with a peak Martial Lord who can only fight against Martial Lords beyond the ranks, it is not easy to catch them. This is the emperor's idea.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
Pang Wu couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, but this was exactly what he wanted. Such an ambiguous answer also made it easy for him to leave at any time.
In the Blood Crow organization, only those killers who are not strong enough and have gold medals or below need to form a team of five to complete the mission.
And a killer like Pang Wu, who is at the peak of the Martial King Realm, is no less than a killer king who has performed missions thousands of times.
Therefore, these high-level killers have their own set of habits for completing tasks, and they do not need to form a team with others.
Otherwise, when encountering this situation, he could directly ask his teammates to report the information to the organization, without having to risk his identity by going there himself.
"Bang"
Pang Wu saluted again, and then slowly exited the emperor's palace. After closing the door, the emperor raised his head and looked in the direction of the door.
There was a bright light in the emperor's eyes, and it wasn't until a long while that he murmured in a low voice: "I hope you won't disappoint me!"
After Pang Wu left the emperor's palace, he reached out and touched the hideous sword wound on his face. With a vicious look in his eyes, he walked directly out of the palace.
At this time, Dugu Yue had already been quietly ambushing outside the city, waiting for Pang Wu to leave the city at any time.
Although he had to refine the Ten Thousand Beasts Dragon Cauldron and condense the Green Lotus Mysterious Body, he had no time to leave the city until now.
But she had her own way to determine Pang Wu's whereabouts, because Dugu Yue promised to protect the family of the middle-aged stall owner.
The moment Pang Wu attacked the middle-aged stall owner's body, Dugu Yue had an indirect causal connection with him, and the moment Dugu Yue injured him with his sword, this indirect causal connection was even more
A direct cause and effect.
I think that the thief in black just stole the ten thousand year old wild ginseng buried by Dugu Yue, and Dugu Yue could directly use the secret method of causal tracking to find the trace of his escape.
Not to mention now, just confirming Pang Wu's traces would be easier for Dugu Yue.
Unless it was a last resort, Dugu Yue would not be willing to use that kind of secret method of karma tracing, which would consume a lot of mental energy and easily lead to backlash.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out from the city gate, and Dugu Yue recognized his identity from a distance. It was Pang Wu, the assassin of the Blood Crow organization who failed to assassinate him.
Although he is different now from when he was assassinated. He is no longer wrapped tightly, but is dressed in the uniform of the commander of the Royal Palace Guards.
But Dugu Yue still didn't dare to be careless, and concentrated her aura to the extreme, keeping a long distance from him, always keeping the distance from him at a thousand meters.
With Dugu Yue's five-sense vision, even in the late night and early morning, he could see his figure clearly with the help of starlight and moonlight.
However, the distance was too far, and Dugu Yue could not see clearly whether the karma on Pang Wu's body was that of the commander of the Imperial Guard during the day, or that of the Blood Crow organization killer who came to assassinate him in the evening.
After Pang Wu left the city, he also sneaked around quietly. If Dugu Yue hadn't been keeping a close eye on him, he would have almost missed him.
Duguyue was not in a hurry to take action. At the very least, he had to stay away from the royal city. Otherwise, if he escaped back to the royal capital, his previous efforts would be wasted.
It's just that Duguyue was staring at Pang Wu from a thousand meters away, and she herself was also stared at by Cui'er from a thousand meters behind her.
Cui'er followed Dugu Yue from the Spiritual Refiner Branch to the outside of the city, and saw Dugu Yue hiding and motionless, monitoring the direction of the city gate.
At first she didn't know what Dugu Yue's intention was, but now she knew that Dugu Yue was trying to track down the third commander of the Imperial Guard in the Royal Palace of Rock Kingdom.
Cui'er followed Mr. Xia to the capital of King Locke, and naturally got to know everyone there.
Don't forget that the Xiangker Tower is just a way for the real forces behind her to collect intelligence. Collecting and selling intelligence is the foundation of their power.
But now that Cui Er saw that the person Dugu Yue was following was the third commander of the Royal Guards of the Royal City, she suddenly realized that she actually knew very little information about the third commander of the Royal Guards of the Rock Kingdom.
As one of the two closest personal maids to Mr. Xia, she and Wan'er normally collect information and report it to Mr. Xia.
They even know the ancestral information of the emperor of Rock Kingdom, but now they don't know the information of the three commanders of the Imperial Guard in a small kingdom. This is simply unbelievable.
At the same time, as smart as she was, she naturally realized something. Even with a cold look in her eyes, there was definitely something wrong with the third commander of the Royal Guards of the Rock Kingdom.
Cui'er secretly made a note in her mind that after following Dugu Yue back to the royal city, she would definitely tell Young Master and Wan'er about this and investigate thoroughly.
She didn't believe that with the abilities of their subordinates, there would be people in this small Rock Kingdom who couldn't find out the information. The only possibility was that there were spies inside.
Suddenly, Cui'er saw Dugu Yue moving, and then she quickly dismissed her thoughts and focused her attention on tracking. She didn't want to be discovered again.
Dugu Yue was very cautious, not making any sound every time he acted, and he also controlled the vitality in his body to a minimum, only maintaining the vitality needed to perform his movements, for fear that fluctuations in vitality would be detected.
About half an hour later, Dugu Yue suddenly saw Pang Wu diving into a bush.
Duguyue was startled, then directly released her vitality suppression, jumped up, and observed from the air above the trees.
We are already quite far away now, and Dugu Yue will not stupidly dig into the grass just because she is afraid of being discovered.
If he is ambushed by Pang Wu while digging in the bushes, the consequences will be disastrous. In order to ensure his own safety and not lose him, even if he is found, he can only observe from the sky.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp."
As soon as Dugu Yue used Light Body Cloud to leap into the air, before she had time to observe Pang Wu's traces, three sounds of breaking through the leaves suddenly sounded.
There was no time to observe, relying on her prediction of the crisis, Dugu Yue decisively twisted her waist again, shifted her body to the side, and then instantly summoned the Tianque Formation to wait.
Duguyue broke out in a cold sweat. Now she no longer thinks that Yunlong Jiubian, the movement technique she got from the bandit in black, is useless.
And I am very glad that I have developed a habit of cultivating new skills to perfection.
Otherwise, if Duguyue had not practiced the Nine Transformations of Cloud Dragon and was suddenly attacked when she jumped up just now, she would have never been able to avoid it.
Duguyue never thought that his unintentional habit would actually save him here.
Sure enough, existence has its own value. Even if it seems insignificant, it can still be effective at critical times. There is no useless thing.
However, Duguyue took out Tianque and waited for a moment in mid-air. Except for the three flying knives fired by the sneak attack, there was nothing more.
"I hate such insidious and cunning opponents." Duguyue muttered silently with resentment in her heart, and then swung her sword downward with all her strength.
A sword energy swept out immediately, and wherever it passed, whether it was trees or rocks, it was directly flattened diagonally.
In an instant, smoke and dust were everywhere on the ground. In order to prevent being attacked again, Dugu Yue flashed and flew a hundred meters away to prepare for the attack.
Now Duguyue doesn't have King Wu's ability to move her body freely in mid-air. In addition, she has no experience in aerial combat. Fighting in the air is not good for her.
So he landed directly on a spacious flat ground. On such a flat ground, as long as the opponent did not escape, no matter where he was attacked, Dugu Yue could resist and counterattack in time.
