"Assassination."
"Intercept and kill."
"They were poisoned, intercepted and killed, and then thrown into a pit to destroy the remains."
"Luring him to prostitutes, then poisoning him, killing him, and throwing his body into a pit to destroy all traces of his body."
In just a few seconds, Guo Lingyun, Hou Jue, Tang Wan, and Tang Wan, who changed his plan after thinking about it for a while, revealed their plans.
Zhu Qianyun lowered his head blankly, and fell into confusion when he looked at Tang Wan who said softly, "Led him to prostitutes, then poisoned him, intercepted him, and threw his body into the pit to destroy all traces."
"I don't think so."
At this time, Zhou Li opened his mouth and said slowly under Zhu Qianyun's pleased gaze:
"You are too gentle."
ah? mild?
Zhuge Qing, who was quietly spitting out fish bones into her white palms, was also stunned. She raised her eyes slightly, doubts appearing in her big eyes.
Is this gentle?
If you say this in Longhu Mountain, you will be struck by lightning.
"So, you have a plan?"
Facing Guo Lingyun's doubts, Zhou Li shook his head and nodded again. Amidst everyone's confused expressions, Zhou Li seemed to sense something, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
"coming."
Shangjing official road.
"coming?"
Holding a long knife and his face wrapped in white cloth, the thin and extremely tall man leaned against the locust tree, his voice hoarse like quicksand.
"Dead Man's Knife, give me an explanation."
The carriage inlaid with gold thread patterns stopped slowly. The window of the carriage was opened, but the light was blocked outside the window. The people inside could not be seen clearly, only the sound.
"The majestic building was demolished by a small third-grade spiritual master."
The voice behind the car window was a little soft and made people feel very uncomfortable:
"It's been revealed. The evil soul jade incident has come to light. Those regular patrons in the capital are still waiting to enjoy it, and I have to visit them one by one to apologize. Do you know that in the past few days, I have sent out six Yangzhou horses? Damn it! In the end, I have to wipe the butt of you bunch of losers."
"Madam has said that she will compensate you for the matter of Hongwei Building."
The strange swordsman known as the Dead Man's Sword slowly raised his head, and his bloody eyes seemed to be shining brightly under the white cloth. He looked at the window of the carriage and said hoarsely:
"However, Mr. Zhang still needs to resolve the matter of the evil soul jade by himself."
"After all, Mr. Jie, you gave it to Boss Wang privately. We can't control it."
"you!"
The man named Mr. Zhang was a little angry, but soon he suddenly laughed, his voice filled with resentment that made people feel chilled in their hearts.
"Dead Man's Knife, you'd better make it clear. I don't want this old man's evil soul jade."
"The one above personally ordered it."
"Ah."
Dead Man's Knife hugged his own knife, shook his head, sneered, and said slowly:
"Mr. Zhang, don't think of me as a fool. We know better than you what kind of person the emperor is today. You said that he seeks immortality and wants to let all people share bliss. I believe it. You say that the emperor wants to enjoy bliss exclusively, but we monsters don't believe it."
Suddenly, the car curtain was pulled down, revealing a cold and delicate face of a man. The man stared intently at the death knife in front of him, his eyes gradually gathering sternness and violence.
"What if my sister wants this stone?"
This time, Dead Man's Knife was shocked by Mr. Zhang's words. He looked at Mr. Zhang and said slowly: "Queen Zhang...what's the use of asking for the soul of an old man who has been a prostitute all his life?"
"You go ask my sister."
Mr. Zhang leaned on the plump woman behind him with satisfaction, closed his eyes, and mocked: "She will definitely be interested in telling you why she wants the soul of an old man."
"I want to report this matter to Mrs. Golden Snake."
"Death Man's Knife, don't you understand yet?!"
Mr. Zhang's cold voice came from the carriage: "How could you not know how much my brother-in-law loves my sister among all the kings in the world? Then, let me ask you, in this world, the only Emperor Taizong and my brother-in-law want to What do you want but can’t get?”
It's people.
And there is only one kind of person.
Jianwen is an orphan.
A kind of chill from the heart spreads in Dead Man's Knife's body. Even though he has died once, he is still afraid of it.
Everyone knew that Emperor Taizong was in the wrong position, but only a few people knew that Emperor Jianwen, who was ousted from the throne by his uncle, was not dead.
At that time, Emperor Taizong Zhu Di entered the capital and ascended the throne. The capital was filled with blood, but Emperor Jianwen disappeared under the eyes of hundreds of thousands of King Yan's troops.
In order to find the missing Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di sent Zheng He on six voyages to the West, spending countless amounts of silver. On the surface, he asked all nations to come to court, but in fact he secretly searched for the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen. Three major intelligence agencies, Jinyiwei, Ye Bushou, and Bad Person, were set up to look for Zhu Yunwen.
But until Emperor Taizong died and Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi came to power, the whereabouts of the former emperor were still unknown. Whether Emperor Jianwen had his own heirs and whether he was still alive became a mystery that has plagued Zhu Di's family for a lifetime.
But now, clues about Emperor Jianwen's lineage actually appeared in the mind of an old man who was a prostitute, which made Dead Man's Sword feel a ridiculous contrast.
But soon, the contrast turned to fear.
"Aren't you afraid of being heard by saying this?"
Dead Man's Knife stared at Mr. Zhang and said in a hoarse voice, "If someone uses magical powers or talismans to eavesdrop on our conversation, wouldn't it be..."
"Oh, you really treat me like a drunkard."
Mr. Zhang smiled disdainfully and said: "The talismans in the carriage were hand-drawn by the imperial master of the time. Whenever there is an invasion of spirit energy that wants to eavesdrop, the thunder will strike down the eavesdropper, so why worry?"
The Dead Man's Sword breathed a sigh of relief, and then he realized that this extremely important evil soul jade had now escaped from their control and fell into Beiliang.
"No, no..."
The Dead Man's Sword lowered his head and murmured nervously to himself: "It must be brought back, it must be brought back... If the clues about Jianwen's orphan really fall into the hands of someone with intentions, the world will be in turmoil again."
"Do you understand the importance of this evil soul jade?"
Mr. Zhang in the carriage softened his tone a little and said calmly:
"That third-level spirit master, I don't care if he has seen Jie Se's evil soul jade, he must die. Throughout Beiliang, wherever this evil soul jade goes, how many people will die."
"Kill people and seize jade, it's that simple."
"I can't do this alone."
Shaking his head, Dead Man's Blade was shocked by the importance of this evil soul jade, but he was not an idiot and he still knew his own strength relatively well.
"I'm just a sixth-grade monster. I can't get through the city under the garrison."
"So here I am."
Mr. Zhang glanced at the Dead Man's Sword and said calmly: "The one hundred imperial guards behind me will deal with the garrison. As for the Jin Yiwei..."
"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to worry."
With a chuckle, the Dead Man's Sword spoke: "Mrs. Jin Snake's most loyal right-hand man, our Lord Qianhu is now in Beiliang to carry out the secret mission given to him by the lady. As long as he takes action, Jin Yiwei will not be a problem."
"It's quite useful."
After snorting with his nose, Mr. Zhang seemed to have thought of something, and after hesitation he said, "I heard that the Imperial Academy of Beiliang is extraordinary. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"Huh, extraordinary? The poor people send foreign language doctors from their colleges to Beijing to take private jobs, paint themselves in black and pretend to be barbarians selling fake goods, is it still extraordinary?"
With a sneer, Dead Man's Blade said disdainfully: "A bunch of local chickens and dogs are not worth mentioning. Jijiu is just a bad old man from the fourth grade. He has no surname and no name. He is most likely an exiled official from the capital. Don't worry about it."
"That's no problem."
Shaking his head, Mr. Zhang relaxed and said:
"It seems that Gui Daozi's defeat at the hands of these people was due to his carelessness. As for the third-grade Ling Qi master, you don't have to worry about it. I have investigated and found that he has no relatives except a lame sister. Just kill him."
"In a remote and barbaric place in Beiliang, a useless county magistrate brings a bad old man to offer wine, and leads a group of chickens and dogs to show their teeth and claws. He still wants to be a hero? What a joke. What a bunch of jokes."
"This matter needs to be settled quickly."
Slowly opening his eyes, the Dead Man's Knife sneered, and the long knife in his hand was unsheathed, a chill flashing in his hand.
Slowly opening his eyes, Zhou Li looked at the people around him, with a cold smile on his face. Beside him, Zhou Shuang'er, wearing a bright yellow skirt and white stockings, sat obediently beside Zhou Li.
"A quick victory?"
After repeating Mr. Zhang's last words, the golden light covering Zhou Li's ears gradually dissipated. He looked at everyone and slowly said:
"The above is the conversation between our dear Zhang Suohao and the unknown Mr. Dead Man's Knife."
"What do you think, you "old losers, chickens and dogs"?"
