Chapter 420 Planning
The Wanli Changshan Peak was covered with clouds and mist, the cold wind was howling, and a strange silence spread among the group of five people on the top of the mountain.
Taishi Ran’s words exceeded each of their expectations.
Except for the woman surnamed Luo, whether it was the middle-aged fat man, the rickety old man, or the dignified middle-aged beautiful woman, there was a flash of astonishment in their eyes.
In their relatively long lives in the past, they had basically experienced assassinations either actively or passively.
The emphasis of the word assassination is not to kill, but to hide.
Quietly erase the target from the world, cover up all information about itself, and make his death an unsolved case.
Assassinating Xu Yinhe's third son was no child's play. From the moment they agreed to participate in the matter, the five of them were already prepared for the worst.
For this reason, they thought that they might experience a hard battle, and even thought that their bones might be buried here, but they did not expect that such an assassination with such a large number of troops would turn into a farce.
The assassination is discovered, which means failure.
They were over before they even started.
Thinking of this, the fat middle-aged man named Zhou next to him wanted to laugh, but he held it back.
After all, Tai Shiran's face was so gloomy that it could drip with tears. It would be somewhat disrespectful to laugh out loud at this time.
But he really didn't want to get involved in such a dangerous thing.
Xuantiemen is one of the sources of wealth for Jiantian Pavilion. The spiritual weapons and swords it produces control nearly one-tenth of the world's share. As the elder of Xuantiemen, he can make a fortune every year and almost never use it up. H.
What does it mean to fight and kill?
Is it that the female disciples in the sect are not fresh enough, or that the Qiong Yao wine is not fragrant enough?
The right way is to harmonize Qi and generate wealth.
Of course, Fatty Zhou kept these words deep in his heart.
Everything he has now was given to him by Jiantian Pavilion. If he disobeys, Jiantian Pavilion can take it back.
soon,
The silence between the five people was broken by the charming woman named Luo.
While the fairy skirt was fluttering, the woman surnamed Luo raised her hand to take off the iron mask of mourning on her face, revealing her charming face, and her voice was very light:
“Tai Shiran, do you want to say that Xu Changtian’s cultivation has reached the point of transcendence?”
Tai Shiran’s eyes showed confusion, but he still replied:
“According to the records in the sect, this method is the only way to detect the spirit sky instrument.”
When the woman surnamed Luo heard this, her expression did not change too much. She raised her eyes like autumn water and glanced at the northern sky, and simply said directly:
“If you are truly transformed, you can be prepared to give up on this trip. There is no need to waste time here.”
ˆ “.”
The words fell silent.
If you want to kill a powerful person who has transformed from the mortal world, unless you can lure him into the urn, as long as the opponent concentrates on escaping, the probability of them keeping him is really low.
Everyone present knew this, but no one commented on the woman named Luo.
The Luo clan has escaped the control of Jiantian Pavilion and is not affiliated with Jiantian Pavilion. Naturally, the woman named Luo will not have any scruples about what she wants to say.
But Fatty Zhou and the others had only reached this point with the help of Supervising Tiange, and the autonomy they had in their hands was not enough to support Tai Shiran who held the Tiange Order.
They have to wait for Tai Shiran to make a decision.
Just as the decision-maker, Tai Shiran had no intention of answering immediately at this moment, and his brows were furrowed as if he was thinking about something.
The clouds and mist on the top of the mountain drifted and condensed.
The woman surnamed Luo looked at Tai Shiran with calm eyes and continued:
"Tai Shiran, now that everything is happening in the world, Xu Changtian's Qiji has been left in Lingtianyi, and the assassination does not need this time."
As soon as the words fell, everyone present heard that Fairy Luo was about to leave.
Fatty Zhou’s tiny eyes flashed with a dark light.
This woman has the highest level of cultivation among the people present. If she wants to continue to assassinate Xu Changtian, her strength is indispensable.
after all,
The commander of the Blackscale Guards may have stayed around for a long time.
If there were no people from the Luo tribe to hold Lou Ji back, they would probably be in vain.
In other words, as long as the woman surnamed Luo is gone, they no longer need to assassinate her.
Thinking about it, Fatty Zhou glanced at Tai Shiran without any trace, but before Tai Shiran could speak, the elegant middle-aged woman beside him spoke first:
"Fairy Luo, please be patient. Fu Mou once met the three sons of Xu Yinhe in Di'an City."
ˆ “.”
Hearing this, Fatty Zhou immediately let out a low curse in his heart.
Tai Shiran didn’t say anything. Why are you, an old woman, trying to persuade me to stay?
That old guy Jing Tingxi is already dead, why are you so eager to avenge him after just having an affair?
What he was thinking in his heart, Fatty Zhou interrupted with a smile on his face and said:
"Elder Fu wants to say that Xu Changtian did not transform from ordinary cultivation? But Brother Ran has just said that this is something recorded in the Jiantian Pavilion, and there should be no mistakes."
The beautiful middle-aged woman glanced sideways at the fat man:
“Elder Zhou, you don’t need to interrupt me yet. When I finish speaking, Brother Taishi and Fairy Luo will make up their minds.”
Fatty Zhou still had the same smiling expression, but his words were **** for tat:
“Elder Fu, that boy Xu Changtian has been fooling around in Di’an City all year round. I think anyone who has been to Di’an City has seen him at some point.
“Two years ago, Xu Changtian was still a mortal. Elder Fu wanted to say this, right?”
The beautiful middle-aged woman’s eyes were half-squinted and she didn’t speak, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Fatty Zhou casually walked a few steps on the top of the mountain, then suddenly looked back and said with a smile:
“But the problem is that Xu Changge was only a great master in the eyes of the world before, but his actual cultivation level is probably about to break through the mortal realm.
“Brother, how can you be sure, Elder Fu, that what Xu Changtian revealed in Di’an City is true?”
No matter whether Xu Changtian is hiding his clumsiness or not, he has to kill the opponent's ordinary cultivation level.
Only in this way can this operation be terminated.
You have money to make, why are you working so hard?
The beautiful middle-aged woman heard the meaning of the fat man's words, her beautiful eyes were half-squinted, and she asked directly:
“Elder Zhou, are you afraid?”
"Afraid?"
Fatty Zhou spread his hands, shook the fat on his face, and said with a smile: "Zhou is just telling the truth. Now our actions have been exposed. If we insist on carrying it out, it will be too risky."
Speaking of which,
Fatty Zhou paused for a moment, cupped his fists with both hands, and bowed to the sky:
“It may even affect the master’s plans for the world!”
"you!"
The middle-aged beautiful woman stared at her beautiful eyes. This fat man was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he even used his righteousness to suppress her. Just when he was about to have an attack, Tai Shiran, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke out:
"enough."
After calming down the energy disorder caused by the backlash just now, Tai Shiran's eyes slowly swept across the four people.
His voice was very soft:
"Xu Changtian was indeed a mortal two years ago. With less than two years of cultivation time, Xu Changtian's cultivation level is not too high. The reason why he was able to sense the search for the spiritual heavenly instrument may be because of his special status as the beginning of the great tribulation. .”
The topic was finally settled.
“Master Taishi, are we preparing to continue the assassination?”
Tai Shiran glanced at him, but did not speak to him. Instead, he looked at the woman surnamed Luo who had taken off the iron mask of mourning:
“Fairy Luo, what do you think?”
The woman surnamed Luo glanced at these Jiantian Pavilion experts who were obviously confused, and said in a cold voice:
“Are you going to kill Xu Changtian by force?”
"Everything will stop when he returns to Di'an City. We don't know when he will go out again. This time is most likely our last chance."
ˆ “.”
After looking at each other for a moment, the woman named Luo moved her cold eyes away and looked at the setting sun in the sky:
“The risks outweigh the benefits.”
Tai Shiran was silent for a moment and whispered:
“Fairy Luo, we are still in the dark now. Xu Changtian only sensed that someone was probing him, and there is a high probability that he cannot figure out where we come from.
"Furthermore, without the communication crystal, they cannot summon more powerful reinforcements in a short period of time. We only need to kill Xu Changtian before the reinforcements from the Prime Minister's Office arrive."
The woman surnamed Luo glanced at him, unmoved at all:
"it's the same."
She doesn’t want to get into this muddy water again.
The senior officials of the Prime Minister's Office are not pigs, especially Lou Ji, who controls a huge intelligence agency.
In the past years, she had dealt with women who were as vicious as snakes.
Because of this, she knew very well that there was still a chance if there was mental arithmetic but no intention. Now that it had become mental arithmetic but not intention, the woman would definitely make some arrangements in advance.
Hearing the other party’s firm words, Tai Shiran was silent for a while and suddenly asked:
“Xianzi Luo, have you heard of Jing Xuelan?”
ˆ “.”
As soon as the words came out,
The woman surnamed Luo's expression, which had always been calm, suddenly froze.
Looking back slowly, the woman surnamed Luo seemed to have a little more emotion in her voice:
“Jing Xuelan?”
“Jing Tingxi’s daughter.”
Tai Shiran saw the other party's expression and spoke word by word.
The master of the pavilion once accidentally told him about the past between Jing Tingxi, the head of the burial village, and the man from the Luo tribe in front of him.
Although there are only a few words, it seems that the master of the pavilion really means something profound.
And looking at the look on this Luo woman's face, there is definitely an unknown story here.
even,
It's possible that Jing Xuelan is the daughter born to the woman in front of her and Jing Tingxi.
With his thoughts in mind, Taishi continued quietly:
“Jing Tingxi fostered his daughter with a good friend in the north, and that sect was wiped out by the Black Lin Army of the Prime Minister’s Mansion not long ago.”
ˆ “.”
After a long while, the woman surnamed Luo breathed out gently, her voice slightly trembling:
“Then she is still alive?”
“I don’t know about this.”
Tai Shiran shook his head, but then changed the topic: "But there is a high probability that she is alive, and if she is alive, Jing Xuelan will definitely be taken by Lou Ji."
The woman surnamed Luo was full of vitality. She took a deep breath, opened her red lips slightly, and said two words:
"reason."
“For the Prime Minister and Lou Ji, Jing Tingxi’s daughter is more useful alive than dead. Although Jing Tingxi is dead, his relationship network during his lifetime still exists.”
“Is this so”
"So, Fairy Luo," Tai Shiran's eyes flashed.
The woman surnamed Luo sighed softly, her eyes were a little complicated, but she answered simply:
"I will help with this matter, but the prerequisite is that I must do my best to ensure Jing Xuelan's safety during the fight."
"nature."
Tai Shiran smiled slightly, glanced around the people present again, and said loudly:
“Everyone, I know that you may be somewhat afraid of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, but this is our last chance to eliminate the beginning of the great calamity, so we must not give up.”
The assassination was once again decided by Tai Shiran, and the rest was how to implement it.
The rickety old man stamped the crutch in his hand, coughed lightly, and said with a smile:
“What Mr. Tai Shi said is absolutely true, but I don’t know how we can implement it?”
Fatty Zhou sighed softly when he saw that he could not avoid it. He quickly changed his mentality and asked in a low voice:
“Brother Taishi, I wonder how many days’ journey is Xu Changtian away from us?”
"Three days." Tai Shiran raised the Ling Tianyi in his hand, glanced at it, and replied in a low voice: "They are now near Pingxiling, and are heading towards the imperial capital."
Fatty Zhou’s narrow eyes revealed a hint of gloom:
“After learning that someone is spying, Xu Changtian and his party will inevitably find a city to stay as soon as possible. First, they can use the communication crystal in the city to contact the Imperial Capital, and second, they can use the city formation to wait for help.
“So, we’d better take action before they enter the city.”
“It’s too late.”
There was a hint of thought in the turbid eyes of the rickety old man: "There are several small cities near Pingxiling, but the only city with a communication crystal is Huizhou County. With Lou Ji's speed, it can be reached in one day."
“In other words, we have to attack within the city?”
The middle-aged beautiful woman's eyes flickered a little, and she asked softly: "The small city's defense formation is fine for us, but this completely breaks the rules."
With the strength of the five of them, it is not difficult to break through the county-level city defense formation, but the problem is that this behavior is regarded as rebellion.
The current situation is just turmoil, not a breakdown in etiquette and music.
This kind of violation of rules will inevitably lead to investigation by all the major forces in the world. If it is really found out by then, Jiantian Pavilion will probably become the target of public criticism.
“Elder Fu, we don’t necessarily have to break the formation.”
Fatty Zhou said with a smile: "Everything has pros and cons. They can indeed use the formation as a talisman when entering the city, but there are many people in the city and we can sneak in quietly. After all, assassination does not necessarily require the use of force, especially This is when the target’s cultivation level is not high.”
“What should I do about Lou Ji?”
The woman surnamed Luo interrupted the discussion of several people: "Lou Ji is here, there is no chance for you to get close to Xu Changtian quietly."
He said,
The woman surnamed Luo seemed to have remembered something, and she pinched the slender fingers of Weeping Iron Mask slightly and said:
“For the safety of Xu Changtian, she could even clear out all the people in the entire county.”
As soon as the words fell, the top of the mountain fell into silence for a moment.
"The Holy Lady and Na Xu Changtian have separated. Prepare for the worst."
Tai Shiran stared at the spiritual light shining in his hand for a long time, and then said quietly:
“If it comes to the point where you have to kill by force, don’t worry about it and just attack the city.
“Death is necessary,
“The common people in a city are far less important than killing the beginning of the great calamity!”
