"Let's go, it's over here, let's complete the next mission." Watching the funeral procession go away, Gu Xifeng took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
The monkey nodded without saying a word. The two of them walked down the hill. Two horses were grazing leisurely on the grass. After getting on their horses, the two teenagers galloped towards the northeast.
Three days later, at the Seventh Killing Hall of Xinghe Sect, Huang Xin threw two letters and a drugged carrier pigeon on the table, holding the letter written by Gu Xifeng in his hand and started reading it.
"You brat, no matter how many good things a spy from another country does, it can't change the fact that he is an enemy. I'm doing the best I can by allowing him to leave a good name for him. You also advise me to be more lenient in dealing with things in the future. It's a joke, I'm still too young. Ah." Huang Xin shook his head and sneered, muttering to himself.
"Gu Xifeng, you must have sympathy for him because of his background as a spy in Jin'an. There is no right or wrong in the game between the two countries, they just have different positions."
"He also reminded me that I can use this bullshit pigeon to find out the spy leader in New Korea. I am extremely naive. The two countries are not really going to war. Many things cannot be brought to the table. This matter will follow Qin Chuan's Death is the end.”
Huang Xin took the three letters in his hand without looking at the other two, and threw them all into the fire. They burned to ashes in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
"Here comes someone." Huang Xin called softly.
"What are your orders, Lord Killer?" Four masked Xingxiu guards immediately appeared in front of Huang Xin.
"Bring this pigeon to Zaojun Pavilion for stew. This is the first time that my two prodigal disciples have given a gift to the master. I have to taste it." Huang Xin pointed to the sleeping pigeon on the table.
The poor pigeon never woke up again until it died.
…
Wanning County is located in the north of Yingzhou, and to the north is the boundary of Yingzhou. The people of Yingzhou are strong and fierce. Although the relationship between Beichu and Taichu is stable and there is no major friction, small conflicts continue. During the border trade exchanges, Fights often occur, and deaths are common.
Wanning County has the most powerful city in the northern part of Taichu, Ningguan City. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If there is a war with Bei Chu, this city is the biggest support against Bei Chu. Therefore, an army of 50,000 people is stationed in the city all year round. .
In recent days, the border situation has become very tense. A caravan traveling between Beichu and Yingzhou and Yingzhou was killed and raped on the border between the two countries. No one in a caravan of 100 people survived, and their finances were also looted. Empty.
Fan Changsong, the general of Northern Chu Zhennan, was furious after hearing the news. He ordered 100,000 troops and went straight to the border between the two countries to demand an explanation.
Ningguan guard Xue Ding immediately mobilized his troops and mobilized 50,000 people to confront Fan Changsong. If he was not careful, a national war would break out.
Fortunately, Chu Youshe, the king of Northern Chu, sent Fan Changsong a decree not to start a war without finding out the facts, but to move his troops back to the city first. Fan Changsong left a message and asked Taichu Dynasty to give Beichu an explanation within one month, otherwise they would attack the city again.
Emperor Taichu Li Boqian, who had officially ascended the throne long ago, was furious when he heard the news. He wanted to send his troops north to teach the arrogant Beichu a lesson. However, he was dissuaded by Chen Yaoguang, the state counselor, and he blamed the Xinghe Sect for the investigation of murder and smuggling because the border situation was tense at this time. It is inconvenient to mobilize troops for action.
The Seven Kills Battalion immediately sent a ten-man team to investigate the border between Beichu and Taichu. However, the team got stuck there and lost contact since then. The last place where the team delivered the news was near Top Mountain.
Huang Xin, who was initially unconcerned, immediately took it seriously after receiving the information. He sent eight Xingxiu Guards and fifty men to Gyro Mountain. Gu Xifeng and Monkey, who had just completed their mission in Qiao County, were also sent to support.
Top Mountain is not far from Ningguan City. Huang Xin asked the two waves of people to meet in Ningguan City.
The situation in Ningguan City is very tense. The entire city is in a state of war readiness. The people in the city are moving out in an orderly manner. Food and grass are being continuously sent into the city. The defenders in the city are also training hard to go into battle to kill the enemy at any time. Troops from various parts of Wanning County are also gradually Stationed close to Ningguan City to prepare for any eventuality.
Gu Xifeng and Hou Hou arrived at Ningguan City three days later. At this time, ten days had passed since the one-month appointment proposed by Beichu.
When the two of them entered the city and arrived at the rendezvous point after issuing the seven-kill order, they did not see the team of fifty-eight people. Only a woman dressed in black and wearing a mask was waiting here.
When the monkey saw this person, he immediately greeted him happily.
"Senior Sister Xin, you are beautiful again after not seeing each other for a long time. How could Old Thief Huang be willing to send you out on a mission? With Senior Sister, a woman like a woman and a tiger in the mountains, joining us, this operation will be a success!" The monkey said hello as he walked, but stopped moving forward when he reached a place that was still some distance away.
"Little monkey, you have grown up a lot in just a few days. You dare to scold the slayer. I can hear you clearly. When I go back, I will report the truth truthfully and wait to meet the wrath of the slayer." Xin's tone was very serious, not a joke at all.
"Senior Sister Xin, please don't. The mountain is high and the Emperor is far away. Old Thief Huang can't hear it. Just let Junior Brother have some fun." The monkey smiled bitterly and bowed to beg for mercy.
"Okay, I can let you go. Come over here and let Senior Sister pinch your little cheeks." Xin's tone became more relaxed. After hearing this, Monkey breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step forward.
When the monkey just took two steps, the heart rushed to the monkey, took the monkey's head into his arms, and dug into the monkey's head with his fist.
"Forget it if you say you want to kill the master. How dare you say that I'm a tigress? You don't want to live anymore, right?" Xin's true colors were revealed, looking furious.
The monkey was in pain and kept begging for mercy.
After a long while, the heart relaxed the monkey, and the monkey covered his head and jumped.
"Senior Sister Xin, why are you here alone, and where are the others?" Gu Xifeng stepped forward and asked, ignoring the howling monkey.
"The other fifty-seven people are worried about the safety of the missing Pao Ze and have already gone to the area around Top Mountain to inquire for information. Come with me and let's get there quickly."
After saying that, Xin walked straight towards his horse. Gu Xifeng asked the monkey in a low voice. The monkey immediately blushed and said quickly: "What are you talking about?"
However, the voice was a little loud and was heard by Xin Xin. Xin Xin looked confused and looked at the monkey's strange expression. Following the monkey's eyes, she looked at the plumpness of her chest and her pretty face turned red.
The three of them rode north out of the city. Gu Xifeng and Hou Hou were crying, and one of them had a big swelling on his head.
The three of them found their own horses after searching for the mark for half a day, but they were disturbed by the scene in front of them. At this time, only fifty of the fifty-seven people were left, and several others were seriously injured.
"What's going on?" Xin asked with a frown.
A young man in his twenties introduced the situation to the three of them. This man was the corner of the Twenty-Eight Constellations Guard.
"After we arrived at Gyro Mountain, we divided into four teams to inquire about information around Gyro Mountain. Now we have found out that a month ago, a group of hundreds of horse thieves came here to take up residence. This group of people is highly disciplined and has extraordinary force. They are not at all like He’s a common horse thief.”
"One of our four teams encountered horse thieves, numbering about a hundred, and the other party took action without warning. We suffered heavy losses under the opponent's charge, but the other party did not kill them. Seven of us were captured, and the others returned wounded. Judging from the information I got from the brothers who escaped, I suspect there is a grandmaster in the other team."
"Grandmaster?!" Gu Xifeng and the others were shocked.
"How could a master master become a horse thief? In addition, the overall strength of these people is tyrannical, and they are more likely to be from the army. This group of people is by no means simple here."
"It is very likely that these people robbed the caravan and wanted to provoke a dispute between the two countries. It is probably this group of people who disappeared the team from the Seven Kills Battalion."
"But these are just my guesses, and further investigation is needed. However, the other party has a strong master, so we need to take a long-term approach."
"Even if I guessed wrong, the seven captured robes have to be rescued. So what about the grandmaster? It's not like he hasn't been killed before." At this time, Jiao's body erupted with an astonishing aura, and a killing intent penetrated his body. out.
"Senior Brother Jiao, don't be impulsive. I think we still need someone to go into the mountain to investigate. It is a bad idea to choose a head-on confrontation when you know that the other party may have a strong master." Gu Xifeng quickly advised.
"We can't let anyone get into trouble again. Going into the mountain will only cause unnecessary sacrifices." Jiao's eyebrows furrowed and he shook his head, completely disapproving of Gu Xifeng's proposal.
"It's okay, senior brother, you forgot, there are two children in our team, who would be so wary of two teenagers." Gu Xifeng hugged the monkey, patted his chest, and used the diagonal A look.
"You two... no, it's too risky!" Jiao hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head in refusal.
"Don't worry, senior brother, I can't say that we are strong, at least we are not weak, and we are good at hiding. Huang Xin has taught us so many ways to escape. If nothing else, there will be no problem in escaping back." When it comes to escaping, Gu Xifeng and Monkey are full of confidence.
"this……"
"Okay, you can go, but you have to promise me to run away immediately if things change. Don't let the Grandmaster get into trouble. It's not difficult for a strong Grandmaster to keep you!" Jiao pondered for a long time, and finally agreed. Gu Xifeng's suggestion.
Jiao promised the two of them to give them one day. If the two of them did not come back after one day, the remaining group of people would have to confront the group of horse thieves and rescue their companions. However, by then, the more than fifty people would not know whether they would still be alive. several.
Gu Xifeng and the others said goodbye to everyone and soon entered the deep mountains and dense forests. The rest of the people looked at the retreating figures of the two children and felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.
The two kept walking through the dense forest, using their concealment methods to the extreme. The places they passed did not cause any ripples.
After walking for about half an hour, we finally found traces of the horse thieves. They were a patrol team with a total of eleven people.
Because they were patrolling in the forest, everyone in the team was on foot and dressed differently. The only thing they had in common was a red strip of cloth tied around their heads, so they could clearly identify ourselves and the enemy during battle.
Gu Xifeng and Houhou were hiding not far from the team, watching these people motionlessly.
"It's difficult to get accurate information without breaking into the enemy. I have an idea." Gu Xifeng whispered to the monkey. The monkey thought for a while and nodded lightly.
