"Guard Lord, the assassination of Dugu Xin failed, let him run away!"
In the Tianzi room of Tongfu Inn, a well-dressed man lowered his head, bowed slightly, and said to the middle-aged man in white shirt and holding a feather fan standing by the window.
The middle-aged man remained silent, still looking at the scenery by the window, as if he didn't hear anyone speaking behind him.
The well-dressed man's expression tightened. Thinking of the ruthless methods displayed by the man in front of him, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, so he quickly said: "Because at the critical moment, the secret guards of the Wang family and the government officials The government officials rushed over, and the subordinates and others had to retreat! However, Dugu Xin was poisoned by the weapons and concealed weapons of his subordinates. Even if he was rescued by people from the royal family and the government, he would not survive long!"
These words naturally meant that he wanted to offend himself and his group.
Judging from the meaning of his words, there is no doubt that he was the leader of the group of assassins who assassinated Dugu Xin in the South Alley! It's just that this guy has kept his head lowered since he entered the door. No one can see his appearance clearly, but they can vaguely feel that this guy is definitely not too old!
The middle-aged man next to the window still didn't speak or turn around. An invisible sense of oppression slowly came from him.
The well-dressed man couldn't bear it any longer and quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "This subordinate is not doing his job well and has failed to complete the task. Please punish me, Lord Guard!"
"Huh? What a poor person!"
The middle-aged man finally turned around. While shaking his feather fan, he said in a cold voice: "I gave you twenty-one masters. You yourself have already been promoted to the master level. So many people assassinated Dugu Xin alone, but there was no one." Can you succeed? Do you think this is a place where waste is raised?"
Although the middle-aged man's voice was calm, everyone could hear the anger hidden in his tone, but he always tried his best to control his volume.
After all, this is an inn. If he is too loud, he will inevitably disturb the people in the next room.
Hearing this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the well-dressed man. He quickly said: "It was because of my carelessness that I failed to kill Dugu Xin at the first time, so that he was rescued! But it was because of his carelessness that he was rescued!" I am confident that no one can detoxify the poison on my weapons and concealed weapons, and before the sun goes down tomorrow at the latest, the guard master will definitely hear the news of Dugu Xin’s death!”
The middle-aged man put away the folding fan, took two steps in front of the window, and then said: "Okay! I'll trust you one more time! If Dugu Xin doesn't die before the sun sets tomorrow, then I'll take it from you!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The well-dressed man responded quickly.
The middle-aged man turned his gaze to him and said meaningfully:
"Xuan Ye, you should know that our Wolf Guard never raises waste. Although you are a master at the master level, you always like to act in a sloppy manner. If things go on like this, I am afraid that even I will not be able to protect you! Look at Tianying, Mujiao, and Cloud Scorpion. , although the three of them are slightly inferior to you in strength, this time they were able to kill the target among the royal guards and escape unscathed!
This is not the first time they have successfully completed a mission. I hope you remember that our Wolf Guard never lacks masters, what we lack is people who can do things! If you want to survive and get ahead, then don't make any more mistakes! Do you understand? "
Xuan Ye, it turns out that the assassin's name is Xuan Ye, and from what this middle-aged man said just now, it seems that they all come from an organization called Wolf Guard, but almost no one in the world knows what this organization does. , whom it serves, when it was established and where its specific location is.
However, the middle-aged man's words were biased. If it hadn't been for the master-level assassin named Xuan Ye who had attracted Wang Chengwu, the most powerful member of the Wang family's secret guards, just with the help of those three It is impossible for an assassin at the peak of his energy to successfully kill Kang Changan and escape unscathed!
"Yes! I understand!"
Xuan Ye's body trembled slightly, then he cupped his fists and responded.
Who would have thought that a majestic master martial artist would bow down to a middle-aged scribe who seemed to have no martial arts skills and no strength to restrain a chicken? If this scene spreads, I wonder what people in the world will make about the identity of this middle-aged scribe?
"During the assassination, did you reveal your identities~?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and then asked again.
Xuan Ye did not answer immediately. He paused first and then replied: "No! The subordinates and others have always covered their faces. Dugu Xin, the secret guards of the Wang family, and the government officials have never seen us. s face!"
In fact, during the assassination process, Xuan Ye and other assassins revealed a flaw, that is, they first spoke Turkic, and then Xuan Ye began to speak Chinese again. This abnormal behavior will definitely arouse Dugu Xin's anger. Pay attention to. However, Xuan Ye expected that Dugu Xin, who was poisoned, would die, and even if the other party grasped this, they couldn't find anything at all, so he did not bring up the matter at this time.
"That's good……"
The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Master Wei, according to the investigation by my subordinates, King Wei and Dugu Xin went to Longshan earlier today, and then they returned to the city. However, after they came back, more teachers and students from Yanhuang Academy went there again. Longshan! At this moment, Duguxin is seriously injured and on the verge of death. This is when their defense strength is at its weakest. Do you want me to take people to Longshan to capture the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy above?"
Seeing that the middle-aged man didn't speak, Xuan Ye asked tentatively.
The reason why he was so active was entirely because he wanted to find an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Despite his previous promise to the middle-aged man that Dugu Xin would die, he didn't have any confidence in his heart. Although all the people who had been poisoned by his weapon died, what if a miracle happened to Dugu Xin? Then he will definitely be punished by the middle-aged man! Instead of doing this, he might as well do some merit in advance so that he can offset his fault later!
Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said: "No! There are many Bei Ya forbidden troops around those teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy. The strength of the Bei Ya forbidden troops is definitely not comparable to that of the Wang family's secret guards. Yes, our current strength lurking in the city is not enough to confront the Imperial Army head-on, so we must avoid their sharp edges, look for opportunities in the dark, and wait for the opportunity!"
"yes!"
Xuan Ye responded in a muffled voice.
Immediately, he said: "Master Wei, after the two assassinations in the morning, martial law has been fully implemented in Taiyuan City, and many soldiers and horses have been dispatched from the Bingzhou camp to search for our whereabouts in the city. Do we want to change places? "
The place they are currently in is the Tianzi guest room of Tongfu Inn. It is not only luxuriously decorated, but also has a huge internal space. The inside and outside rooms are combined, and there are four or five rooms, which is exactly like a single-family house! Of course, what's more important is that the felon Zhu Xiesheng, who is currently detained in the prison by the government, lived in this guest room before!
That's why Xuan Ye suggested changing the place to stay!
"Change a place? Why change a place?"
The middle-aged man chuckled, shook his head and said, "Have you never heard that the most dangerous place is the safest place? Next, people from the Wang family and the prefectural government will definitely focus their search on major private houses, even if Even after searching here, they couldn’t find anything!”
I have to say that this guy is really brave. If a normal person wants to lurk in Taiyuan City to cause trouble, he will definitely rent a remote house to stay. After all, there are many people in a place like an inn, let alone him. The room we are currently staying in has just been occupied by a government suspect!
Xuan Ye didn't try to persuade him anymore, but he was a little puzzled and said: "Master Wei, are we going to such a big fight today just to kill Kang Chang'an... and Dugu Xin? The whole city is now under martial law, and we are very worried about our next actions. It’s not good!”
"Hmph! Only by muddying the water can the fish come out and swim, and then I can know where the fish are and where they are going!"
The middle-aged man shook his feather fan lightly and said with a confident smile: "Haha, Kang Changan's identity is not as simple as it seems. He is now dead in Taiyuan City, under the heavy protection of the Wang family's secret guards. The next headache is The Taiyuan government belongs to the Wang family, not us!
And this is just a test to test the purpose of these fish coming to Taiyuan! But now there is no need to test, someone has come to tell us the answer! It’s really interesting. It seems that there are some smart people in this group of fish! "
The words were very cryptic, but Xuan Ye understood them clearly. He asked tentatively: "Master Wei, that king... can that person be trusted? Will he betray us?"
The middle-aged man frowned slightly. After a moment, he smiled faintly and said: "If he wanted to betray us, he wouldn't go to such trouble! After all, he and I are from the same place. We don't want to be trapped in this small Taiyuan city." Trapped man! He is also a smart man! Moreover, with him helping us secretly, it will be easier for us to succeed!"
Having said this, the middle-aged man turned to look at Xuan Ye and said with a serious face: "Go back and watch them now and let them bury their weapons. Be careful these two days and don't cause trouble! I'll tell you later The flying pigeon will send a letter and inform the Khan of what is going on here. I believe the Khan will be interested in what is going on here, so let’s lurk in the city first and wait for the opportunity!”
Flying pigeons deliver messages, Great Khan!
The middle-aged man’s words contain a lot of information! Just the three words "Great Khan" indicate that his allegiance is not to the Central Plains forces, but most likely to the Turkic Great Khan Jieli! And this guy can not only speak fluent Chinese, but he also knows how to pass letters by flying pigeons. He is obviously a native of the Central Plains!
Why would a Central Plains man serve the Turkic Khan? And his status in the Turks seems to be high. Who is this person?
There are too many mysteries here, waiting for Li Tai and others to solve them. If they cannot be solved, they may not be able to complete their mission!
"Yes! I obey my orders~!"
Xuan Ye bowed to accept the order and was about to clasp his fists and leave, but the middle-aged man stopped him again: "Wait!"
Xuan Ye paused and the middle-aged man said calmly: "If there is nothing important in the past two days, try not to bother me here!"
"...Yes! Guard Master!"
Xuan Ye responded, turned and left. The door creaked and was opened from the inside, and then closed from the outside. The room returned to calm again, with only the fragrance of tea lingering!
"Squeak~!"
After an unknown amount of time, the door was pushed open from the outside again, and a tall man with piercing eyes like a nighthawk walked in and ran straight into the room.
"Master Wei, we just got the news. Over at the post house, they invited famous doctors from all over the city, including Lu Banxian from Taiyuan City, and Gongsun Liang from Huichun Hall in the north of the city. It is said that these two are famous doctors near Taiyuan. Compared to the miracle doctor Sun Simiao, it is only half a point inferior, so I estimate that Dugu Xin will probably not die!"
When I came inside, I saw a middle-aged man sitting on the couch drinking tea. The tall man quickly bowed and clasped his fists.
"Okay! I got it!"
The middle-aged man swallowed the tea in his mouth calmly, then put down the tea cup and said calmly: "Xuan Ye, this idiot, has a lot of good skills, but he fails to achieve anything and fails more than he should. He is far inferior to you three brothers!"
When the tall man heard this, a hint of joy flashed in the corners of his eyes. He quickly lowered his head and clasped his fists and said, "The Lord of the Guard has given you the reward. It is an honor for us three brothers to serve the Lord of the Guard and the Khan. We will do our best to serve the Lord of the Guard!"
"okay!"
The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Tianying, when this matter is over, I will promote you to be the deputy leader of the Wolf Guard. In the future, I will help Khan conquer the Central Plains, and I will become the national advisor. This guard leader It’s yours~! By then, you will live a lifetime of wealth and rest with your country!”
The tall man was immediately fascinated by the beautiful future described by the man in front of him, but he came to his senses after a while and said quickly: "Sky Eagle doesn't dare! There will always be only one leader of the Wolf Guard, Sky Eagle will not Dare to overstep!"
There was a hint of appreciation in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he smiled and said: "Okay! Just step back! By the way, tell Xuan Ye the news, let him receive thirty whips, and tell him that this mission failed and failed After killing Dugu Xin, I will spare his life for now. If I miss again next time, I won’t have such good luck!”
In fact, it doesn't matter to him whether Dugu Xin dies or not. The important thing is to kill Kang Changan, but using this to beat his subordinates is a good choice for him!
"Yes! Guard Master!"
The tall man's mouth curved slightly, then he clasped his fists and left.

"What? There was an assassin in Taiyuan City, and Dugu Xin was seriously injured when he was assassinated?"
In the Xiyuan of the Imperial Palace, Li Er struggled for a long time. He first asked Queen Changsun to be mentally prepared before telling Queen Changsun the information he had just obtained. When Queen Changsun heard this, her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she suddenly He stood up and said with a horrified look on his face: "Doesn't that mean that Qingque is very dangerous in Taiyuan City now?"
At this moment, Empress Changsun almost fainted from fright. In her mind, that dream appeared again involuntarily, that real dream that made her want to suffocate. Although she tried her best to change it, the reality was not It was developing towards that dream step by step, and she could only watch from the sidelines, unable to do anything!
