After listening to Ji Longcheng's explanation, Su Yu immediately had a general understanding of Nian, the assassin.
Whether it's Hell Gate or Nian, they all charge money to do things, but the methods of assassination are different.
But really speaking, there are at least traces of assassination like Hell Gate. As long as your cultivation is stronger than the person who comes to assassinate you, then you will not be successfully assassinated by Hell Gate.
But Nian's assassin organization is even more elusive.
Just imagine, maybe the person you sleep with is one of the twenty-four solar terms of the New Year. Will you be on guard against her?
Maybe her cultivation level is not as good as yours, but in order to assassinate you, she can even lurk around you for several years until you end up dead.
This kind of assassination method that makes you unable to guard against is undoubtedly more scalp-numbing and terrifying.
"Cousin, if I want to ask people from these two organizations to assassinate a target person, how should I find the contact information of these two organizations?"
Chen Beijiang wondered: "What is their method of accepting tasks?"
When Su Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious.
Buyers and sellers must meet before they can reach an intention to cooperate, right?
So what is the method for Hell Gate and Nian to take on tasks?
Ji Longcheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This is no longer a secret that we can access now."
"But if you can hire Hell Gate and Nian to carry out assassinations, there must be a way to contact Hell Gate and Nian."
"According to my guess, it should be the old man who makes the introduction, so that the newcomer can get in touch with Hell Gate and entrust the assassination mission."
In the Wei Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Western Three Kingdoms, Hell Gate and Nian were like lingering dog skin plasters.
Whenever possible, the three countries will try to catch them all.
The reason for letting it go is simply because the possibility of uprooting it is extremely slim.
After all, Hell Gate and Nian's patrons are mainly warriors in the martial arts world, and most of the mission targets entrusted by warriors in the martial arts world are various officials of the imperial court.
The imperial court spends a huge amount of money to cultivate a talent, but suddenly dies in an assassin's assassination. This will inevitably impact the majesty of the imperial court and damage the imperial court's face.
"Tell me, how did Mr. Wei capture Bai Wuchang from Hell Gate alive?" Su Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Who knows."
Ji Longcheng shook his head and said with a smile: "But as you said last time, Master Wei has the cultivation level of Yu Leap Realm. It must be quite easy to apprehend Bai Wuchang of Iron Bone Realm."
At this point, Ji Longcheng looked around to make sure there was no one around, then lowered his voice and said, "This third princess is a ruthless person, and she will do whatever it takes to achieve merit!"
"In the year that I joined the Zhenwu Division, five of her captains have already died in the line of duty, and dozens of Zhenwu Guards have been killed or injured."
"Anyway, no matter where you go to work under Baihu, you must not work under her, otherwise you may be commanded by her to be used as cannon fodder."
"Some people in the Zhenwu Division are already spreading rumors that if you are assigned to work under her after being promoted to captain, it will be like stepping half-foot into the gate of hell. If you don't want to die young, it's best to submit your resignation immediately."
After hearing Ji Longcheng's words, Su Yu couldn't help but agree with them.
The last time he experienced the search for Chu Xuan, he had become deeply aware of Wei Lianyi's personality of being very happy with success, and he didn't take the lives of the people below him seriously.
If he hadn't been clever, he might have ended up dead in that mission to search for Chu Xuan.
In order to capture Chu Xuan and get meritorious service, she didn't even think of summoning other colleagues, which was enough to show that she didn't want to be divided among others.
Su Yu could roughly guess why she was so eager for merit.
As a descendant of the royal family, she must have such things as martial arts at her fingertips.
Since obtaining merit is not for money, it is naturally for power!
Although she is a Baihu, she already possesses the strength of the Yuyue Realm and can be promoted to the Qianhu of Zhenwu Division.
It's just that being promoted to Qianhu requires not only reaching the Yuyue realm, but also accumulating five fourth-level meritorious deeds.
But how can level four meritorious deeds be so easy to obtain?
The criminal corresponding to the fourth-level meritorious service is a warrior at the peak of Yuyue Realm.
Even the fifth-level meritorious deeds correspond to warriors in the early and middle stages of Yuyue Realm.
In the world of martial arts, warriors who can advance to the Yu Leap Realm are not easy to come by, and she may not be able to deal with their strength.
Since it is impossible to directly obtain the fourth-level meritorious service, one can only focus on the fifth-level meritorious service.
Bai Wuchang of Hell Gate, although he was in the Iron Bone Realm, had his merit level raised to level five by the Zhenwu Division, so he naturally became Wei Lianyi's first choice.
As long as she completes fifty level five meritorious deeds, which is equivalent to completing five level four tasks, she will have the opportunity to be promoted to Zhenwu Si Qianhu.
"Sigh, I just don't know how many of Mr. Wei's men died in the line of duty this time to arrest Bai Wuchang."
Chen Beijiang couldn't help but echoed, looking a little sad.
When Bai Wuchang was escorted to Wu Prison, the Zhen Wu Guard accompanying him didn't look good.
Even the Feiyu suit on his body had become tattered and had quite a few injuries. He must have suffered heavy losses in the process of capturing Bai Wuchang.
"The only thing to blame is that they are seeking death themselves."
Ji Longcheng shook his head and sneered: "Since they know that being assigned to her will most likely end up dead, but they still take a chance and refuse to hand in their resignation, it means that they can't let go of this. Since we want this body, we can only put life and death aside."
Su Yushen thought so.
If you are assigned to work under Wei Lianyi, you have to choose between your body and your life.
Originally, being a Zhenwu Guard was a high-risk profession, but being assigned to Wei Lianyi's job was simply the highest risk among the highest risks.
This is not just to ensure safety, but it is not just a matter of luck.
For the sake of meritorious service, that woman would not care about the life and death of the people below her.
If she could exchange the following hundred military guards for a fourth-level meritorious service, she would probably find a place to kill those hundred people without hesitation.
Back in the small courtyard, the three of them fished for a long time. After lunch at the Grand Hyatt Inn, nine people from Lin Canglan's three teams went straight to Goulan to listen to music.
Su Yu did not go to Kong Yangming's house to continue studying ancient writing.
Now that the song "Gift to Meiji" has come out, Kong Yangming is probably surrounded by the promiscuous women in Tai'an City. He may be in a state of distress, so he shouldn't join in the fun.
"Mr. Kong, you don't want your lifelong reputation to be ruined today, right?"
"I just want a poem. If you don't give it to me, I will take it off."
"Mr. Kong, as long as you can write a poem for the slave family, tonight. Oh, no, the slave family will be yours in this life. If you, the old man, are determined but unable to do anything, then the slave family can wait until your grandson grows up. "
"."
Su Yu could even picture what was happening in the Kong family at this moment.
It wasn't until the sun went down that the nine people walked out of the hook fence and went home.
Su Yu found a drug store and bought eight pairs of tonics using forty-eight yuan crystals.
From this moment on, there are only seven Yuan Jing left in Su Yu’s hand.
After returning home, Su Yu took out a pair of tonics, cleaned them briefly, and then started to boil them.
After boiling, let it cool and drink it. After half an hour passed, Su Yu muttered silently: "Open the system panel!"
[Host]: Su Yu
[Shouyuan]: Immortality
[Cultivation]: Late stage of body refining
[Martial Arts]: Cunyan (Limit Breaking Skill)
[Alchemy]: Blood Qi Powder (Introduction) Vitality Pill (Introduction)
[Attribute]: 0 points
Seeing that no attribute points appeared in the attribute column, Su Yu had already expected it, and then closed the system panel.
"I'm brewing a tonic tomorrow, which should allow me to gain some attributes."
"It will take about three days. After brewing three tonics and drinking them, I will gain two attributes. By then, I will be able to improve my cultivation to the perfection of body training."
Su Yu murmured softly.
The current promotion progress is actually not slow anymore.
It was only a month since he joined the Zhenwu Division, and his current cultivation level has reached the late stage of body refining.
Ji Longcheng joined the Zhenwu Division for one year, and the cost was hundreds of times that of him. He was only in the middle stage of body training.
If he were told that Su Yu was in the late stage of body refining and was about to be promoted to the perfection of body refining, he would probably be shocked.
…
The next day.
Su Yu got up early, washed up, dressed neatly, had breakfast at a noodle shop on the street, and then headed in the direction of Zhenwusi.
Before arriving at the Zhenwu Division, Su Yu saw Ji Longcheng and Chen Beijiang in Feiyu uniforms walking towards them across the street.
Seeing the pale faces of the two of them, Su Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
You don't need to guess to know that these two guys must have got interested after listening to the music last night, and then turned back to the brothel.
Of course, it is not ruled out that these two guys spent their money to go to the Jiaofang Division.
After all, the appearance of the girls is also crucial to the extent to which they can give each other everything they have, otherwise they shouldn't be as pale as this.
"Brother Su!"
Seeing Su Yu, their eyes lit up and they hurriedly rushed towards him.
Su Yu smiled evilly and teased: "It seems that Brother Ji and Brother Chen were very excited after listening to the song in Goulan yesterday, and they stayed over again last night?"
"Ahem."
Ji Longcheng's face flashed with a hint of uneasiness, he coughed dryly and changed the subject: "Brother Su, it's almost time, let's go to the Zhenwu Division as soon as possible."
Immediately, the three of them walked directly in the direction of Zhenwu Division.
Arriving at the Zhenwu Division, as soon as they entered the small courtyard, teasing sounds rang out in the courtyard.
"Brother Ji, Brother Chen, you two look very pale. Could it be that after we listened to the song last night, you two went to a brothel to find a girl to stay overnight, right?"
Gong Kaiwen said with a smirk.
"Brother Gong, what you are saying is that you look down on Brother Ji."
Owen Jie said with a bad smile: "Brother Ji sold a total of seven tickets yesterday. One ticket earned us two hundred taels of silver. Seven tickets are equivalent to one thousand four hundred taels of silver. One night in Jiaofangsi only costs fifty taels." With money, how can you still value Lao Cong from a brothel? I must have said that Mr. Ji stayed at Jiaofangsi last night, right?"
"I wonder which girl from the Jiaofang Division served Mr. Ji last night?"
"Look at the dark circles under Mr. Ji's eyes. Tsk, he must have worked too hard last night... Mr. Ji, you have to take care of yourself."
"."
Su Yu casually found a stone bench and sat down, and echoed with a wicked smile: "You guys look down on Mr. Ji too much. How can Mr. Ji just call a girl when he goes to the Jiaofang Department? He is very wealthy, but he spent a hundred taels of silver directly to teach The boss has asked two girls to serve him."
"oh!!!"
Everyone burst out laughing.
Ji Longcheng: "."
At this moment, Lin Canglan walked into the small courtyard, and everyone immediately stopped teasing Ji Longcheng and stood up.
Lin Canglan walked into the small courtyard, looked around, and after confirming that everyone was present, he said loudly: "I received a temporary mission, and I will kill Bai Wuchang at the Meridian Gate at noon today!"
Kill Bai Wuchang?
Upon hearing Lin Canglan's words, the expressions of the nine people all changed.
He was just arrested and brought to justice yesterday. Without further interrogation about the location of the Hell Gate in the Yama Palace in Jingzhou, he was just going to be executed?
This undoubtedly puzzled everyone.
You must know that it is not easy to catch one of the assassins of Hell Gate.
"Master Lin, Bai Wuchang from the Hell Sect was just sent to the Martial Prison yesterday. Why is he being executed today?"
Gong Kaiwen looked puzzled and asked: "Isn't this too fast?"
"I don't know this either."
Lin Canglan shook his head and continued: "According to the instructions given above, in order to prevent the people in the city from causing a stampede when watching the excitement at the Meridian Gate, all the Zhenwu Guards of the Zhenwu Division who have not been out on duty are required to go to the Meridian Gate to maintain order and not allow the people to Breaking through the fence disrupted the beheading process.”
"yes!"
All nine people agreed.
Bai Wuchang who killed the Hell Gate, such a strange thing, will definitely cause a sensation in Tai'an City.
Presumably when the execution is about to take place, the entire Meridian Gate Square will be surrounded by a sea of people.
If the Zhenwu Guards weren't there to maintain order, just ordinary guards, they really wouldn't be able to control things in place.
"Let's go, you and I will go to the Meridian Gate to help first."
After Lin Canglan finished speaking, he walked straight out, followed by everyone.
Su Yu, who was walking at the end of the team, frowned slightly and couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart.
The Zhenwu Division finally caught Bai Wuchang from the Hell Gate, and he was about to be executed so soon. It was simply full of doubts.
You must know that in every state in the Wei Dynasty, there is a Hell Gate and a Yama Hall.
As long as Bai Wuchang's mouth can be pried open, the Yama Palace in Jingzhou can be uprooted.
This Bai Wuchang is undoubtedly of great use value. If he is to be killed so soon, has the Yama Hall and various secrets behind it been mastered by the Zhenwu Division?
Or is it because this guy's bones are hard enough that Zhenwusi felt that there was no point in continuing the interrogation, so he decided to behead him early in public?
But this isn’t right either.
Even if the secret in Bai Wuchang's mouth cannot be pried out, wouldn't it be better to behead him directly in the martial prison and then hang his body at the city gate for public display?
Is it necessary to kill him at the Meridian Gate in one single move?
All these doubts made Su Yu feel that this matter was definitely not that simple.
However, he was only a low-level Zhenwu Guard and had no chance to understand the plans of the higher-ups.
When the sun rises high in the sky and scorches the earth, it is getting closer and closer to noon.
The news about Bai Wuchang was like a strong wind passing by, sweeping across the entire Tai'an City.
After receiving the news, the people of Tai'an City, as well as warriors from the martial arts world, gathered towards the Meridian Gate.
"Tsk, there are so many people."
Ji Longcheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed.
At this moment, the nine of them, like the other Zhenwu Guards, were standing guard outside the Meridian Gate Square to prevent the people who came to watch from breaking through the fence.
Su Yu couldn't help but secretly sighed.
Tens of thousands of people came to watch the execution.
Many people didn't even have a place to stay and could only climb onto the roofs of the buildings outside the square.
When noon was approaching, the street from the direction of Zhenwusi to Meridian Gate Square suddenly gave way to a road.
Under the escort of the Zhenwu Guards, a prison car drove slowly on the street, heading towards the Meridian Gate.
But when Bai Wuchang's face was revealed in front of everyone, Bai Wuchang's strange dress made the originally noisy street suddenly quiet.
Many children held by adults at home were so frightened that they cried when they saw Bai Wuchang's appearance.
At this time, his body was covered with blood. He must have experienced terrible torture last night.
"How many people did this guy kill?"
Su Yu, who was standing far away, couldn't help but sigh.
In this hot summer, with the appearance of Bai Wuchang, it seems that even the temperature in the air has become a bit colder.
It can scare children to tears just by looking at it, which shows how impressive their dress and makeup are.
"Who would have thought that this black and white impermanence has always been considered a life-threatening figure, but today he will be questioned and executed."
Ji Longcheng, who was standing next to Su Yu, looked at the approaching prison car and muttered to himself.
Chen Beijiang couldn't help but said: "Cousin, do you think the people from Hell Gate will come to rob the execution ground?"
Tribulation court?
Ji Longcheng was startled when he heard this, and then he laughed and said: "This is the foot of the emperor. It is impossible for people from the Hell Gate to come to rob the law field for the bottom of Bai Wuchang, right?"
"Besides, even if the Hell Gate comes to rob the law field, how many levels of warriors will it take to rescue people?"
"Bai Wuchang's immediate boss, the judge, is just a Yuleiao realm warrior. His cultivation is roughly the same as Master Qianhu of our Zhenwu Division."
"As for the King of Hell, who is above the judge, he is a Qianlong realm warrior, on the same level as Master Zhenfu from our Zhenwu Division."
"But the gap is also here. There are only a dozen or so people in Yama Hall, but our Zhenwu Division has hundreds or even thousands of warriors."
"If the Yama Palace dares to rob the Dharma Field, there will be no return."
When he heard Ji Longcheng talking about hundreds of warriors, Su Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
When it comes to a battle involving such high-level warriors, these body-refining-level warriors may end up dead if they suffer the aftermath of a little martial skill.
If you want to end it, you must at least be a warrior at the level of a hundred households to dare to participate.
As for them, they should run as far as they can, otherwise if they are affected, they may not even know how they died.
By this time, the prison van had already arrived at the Meridian Gate Square, and Bai Wuchang was escorted to the high platform where he would be beheaded, waiting for the arrival of three o'clock at noon.
"Hey, it's a bit strange. It seems like no one from the Zhenwu Division has come."
Ji Longcheng frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice.
Um?
When Su Yu heard this, his expression not only changed, but an unbelievable thought came to his mind.
Bai Wuchang in this scene all possesses Iron Bone Realm cultivation. Didn't the Zhenwu Division send out high-level warriors to guard it?
If someone comes from Hell Gate and robs the law field, can we rely on little minions like them?
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.
It is impossible for Zhenwusi to make such a big mistake.
So what is the purpose of the senior management doing this?
Did he deliberately not come to guard the place with high-level warriors, and then take this opportunity to lure out the people from Yama Palace to rob the execution ground?
Su Yu couldn't help but look around, and lowered his voice and said to Chen Beijiang and Ji Longcheng: "If anything happens later, we will run to the west immediately."
The west he was talking about was an isolated open space, and the other directions were already crowded with dark crowds.
If anything happens, they can only use the open space to the west to quickly get away from the Meridian Gate Square, the center of right and wrong.
misfortune?
Chen Beijiang and Ji Longcheng were both startled.
"Brother Su, what do you mean?" Chen Beijiang couldn't help but ask.
"It's not interesting, it's just that my eyelids keep twitching and I always feel like something bad is going to happen."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Of course it's possible that I'm overly concerned."
"No."
Ji Longcheng said: "Brother Su is right. Once something unexpected happens, with our level of cultivation, if we rush forward, we will definitely seek death."
"Brother Su, we are taking precautions before they happen."
At this moment, the three quarters of noon arrived. The supervisor took out a wooden sign and threw it on the ground. He said loudly: "The three quarters of noon have arrived, behead!"
When the executioner heard this, he took a sip of strong wine and sprayed it on the ghost head knife.
Su Yu and the other three also stopped talking and looked towards the high platform.
Bai Wuchang possesses the Iron Bone Realm, and ordinary executioners cannot cut off his head.
The executioner in charge of the execution was a temporary official from the Zhenwu Division.
Only an Iron Bone Realm warrior can cut off Bai Wuchang's head with a single blow of his full strength.
When the executioner held up the ghost-headed knife, many spectators in the audience couldn't help but cover their children's eyes, unable to bear to let him see this bloody scene.
"drink!"
The executioner let out a roar, drew a full moon with the ghost-headed knife in his hand, and suddenly swung it down towards Bai Wuchang's neck.
The ghost-headed sword brought up the roaring wind and swept in all directions, blowing the white hair on Bai Wuchang's head flying all over the sky.
Just when the Ghost Head Saber was only a few inches away from Bai Wuchang's neck, a brush suddenly shot out from the crowd below and hit the Ghost Head Saber hard.
"Qiang!"
When the brush hit the ghost-headed knife, it was like a giant bell ringing, making a deafening sound of gold and iron clashing.
The ghost-headed knife was knocked away directly, and the jaws of the executioner's hands holding the knife were also cracked by the blow, and blood flowed down instantly.
The executioner's expression changed drastically. He had the Iron Bone Realm cultivation level and didn't even have a chance to react. It was self-evident how strong the person who took action was.
And after the writing brush knocked the Ghost Head Sword away, it turned around again and was held in someone's hand.
The man was wearing a red robe, a black gauze hat, and black boots. He rose into the air and then fell to the high platform in the field like a ghost.
The executioner's expression changed drastically, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he lost his voice: "Judge?!"
"bingo."
The judge, whose identity was revealed by the executioner, had a strange smile on his lips.
Immediately afterwards, the judge stepped on his right foot and suddenly appeared in front of the executioner.
The root of the judge's pen he held in his hand suddenly stretched straight at this moment, and a silver needle shot out from the judge's pen and stabbed towards the executioner's face.
The executioner's expression changed drastically and he retreated sharply, trying to avoid the needle that was aimed directly at his face.
"late."
The corner of the judge's mouth curled into a mocking arc, and countless roots of the judge's pen in his hand spread out at some point, entangled the executioner's body, and pierced into the flesh.
