Chapter 494 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Yi Xifeng didn't explain, he just said that he used the sect's methods, and Qi Chengcheng didn't ask any more about it.
"You haven't been around since the battle in Loulan City. I just heard that you have a secret mission. Where have you been during this time?"
"It's a long story. I've been to Thousand Drums City, Ziluo City, Holy War Hall and the Pagoda Country. It took me so long to come to Suchuan Country."
Qi Chengcheng was a little surprised when he heard this. Who would have thought that Yi Xifeng would go to so many places in just a few days, but then he thought of something again, frowned and asked:
"The 'Zhenbeitinghou' of Futa Kingdom is not you, is it?"
"It seems that you are very well-informed." Yi Xifeng chuckled and did not deny it.
Qi Chengcheng didn't hide anything, he just handed the letter in his sleeve to Yi Xifeng.
Yi Xifeng took it and opened it directly. It contained detailed records of many wars in the Floating Tower Kingdom, including the outing of the King of the Floating Tower Kingdom before the war. In addition, there was also a list of chambers of commerce that intended to rebel. On the list Feng Wenlang's name was written clearly.
"This is..." Yi Xifeng said doubtfully while holding the letter.
"It's written by the president of the Qijia branch who came with you."
"Is that a spy you planted deliberately?"
Qi Chengcheng was very surprised when he saw Yi Xifeng. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Although he had a proud expression, he waved his hand and replied very humbly:
"It's just a small trick, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
Yi Xifeng could only smile helplessly at this. He still admitted this. If Qi Chengcheng hadn't pointed out that the branch president was an insider, he really wouldn't have discovered it.
However, this incident also made Yi Xifeng more cautious. As the saying goes, "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others." If you don't pay more attention, you might get caught one day.
"There has always been only one king in the Futa Kingdom who has the cultivation level of a hero. But when the king was attacking the city, he was not there, and you happened to be there, so it is not difficult to guess the identity of the 'Zhenbeitinghou'. But that's it. Come back, the king of Futa Kingdom is not here, how did you become the 'Zhenbeitinghou'?"
"The king was not around at the time, and I had no military power, so I had to ask the chief of the palace guard to cooperate with me in performing a play."
Qi Chengcheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "That's not right. The King of Futa Kingdom personally said that he had ennobled a 'Zhenbeitinghou'."
"Yeah, I'm a regular now."
Yi Xifeng shrugged helplessly.
Qi Chengcheng: “…………”
"Forget it, forget about it for now, let's talk about something else. I heard that you and the King of Suchuan Kingdom have differences on strategic issues." Yi Xifeng pulled up a chair and sat down directly.
"Huh? How did you know? Could it be that...you also have a hidden clue?"
Yi Xifeng smiled and said nothing, neither admitting nor denying.
………………
After some description, Yi Xifeng roughly understood the situation in Suchuan Kingdom, which was basically consistent with what was stated in the secret letter from the Zhenwu Dark Palace, except that he got more details from Qi Chengcheng.
"The endless barbarian army in the north is entangled by the Far East Kingdom. It is indeed a good time for a sneak attack." Yi Xifeng nodded, and he also agreed with Qi Chengcheng's idea.
"Alas, the king of Suchuan Kingdom is too weak to achieve great things. To be honest, I really want to lead an army to move to the Futa Kingdom." Qi Chengcheng said with a depressed expression.
Yi Xifeng patted his shoulder and wanted to say some words of comfort, but suddenly thought of something and smiled immediately:
"I suddenly remembered something."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Qi Chengcheng became interested.
"On the way, I discovered that Feng Wenlang was colluding with Wuwuhuangman to assassinate him."
…………
In the house rented by the Qijia Chamber of Commerce, Feng Wenlang was pacing back and forth in the house with the lights darkened, cold sweat breaking out from time to time on his head.
Not long after, the door creaked open on its own, and a masked figure in black stood at the door.
"My lord, you are finally here."
Feng Wenlang quickly invited people into the house and immediately closed the door. As soon as the door was closed, Feng Wenlang immediately knelt on the ground with a plop, completely losing his temperament as the president of the chamber of commerce during the day.
"Why did you snap your fingers three times that night and make our trip in vain!" the man in black said angrily in a hoarse voice.
Feng Wenlang looked shocked and immediately explained: "My lord, I misunderstood. My subordinate clearly snapped his fingers twice last night..."
"Oh? You mean, I heard it wrong?"
Although Feng Wenlang couldn't see the other party's face clearly, he could hear the strong murderous intention in his tone. He didn't dare to offend the other party, so he kowtowed several times and kept begging for mercy:
"Sir, spare your life. I was wrong. I shot the wrong person. I am guilty. I am guilty..."
"Snapped!"
The man in black raised his hand and slapped Feng Wenlang, knocking him to the ground.
"Next time, I will kill you without mercy."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The man in black snorted coldly and then said:
"The envoy of the gods has issued an order, ordering you to kill the king tonight."
"But...but sir, our Feng Family Chamber of Commerce doesn't have many people..."
"You still dare to refuse the order of the God Envoy?!" The man in black gave the other party another slap with his backhand, knocking Feng Wenlang to the ground again.
"My subordinates dare not disobey. I...will definitely obey orders."
"If this matter is accomplished, Lord God Envoy can grant you the title of baron."
"Thank you, Lord Envoy."
"Go quickly!"
Feng Wenlang was frightened by the man in black. He quickly stood up and hurriedly summoned all the Feng family guards. Fearing that the mission would fail, he even called Chairman Yan who was also rebelling.
The King of Suchuan Kingdom does not have the level of cultivation of the Hero Realm like the King of the Floating Tower Kingdom. He only has the strength of the Hero Realm. As long as he avoids the investigation of the palace guards, it is not difficult to assassinate him.
President Yan was a little worried, so he said, "President Feng, if we act in a hurry without even a plan, don't you be afraid..."
"Shut up!" Feng Wenlang looked a little flustered and very excited.
Chairman Yan took a closer look under the moonlight and found that Feng Wenlang's head was sweating. He was obviously a little nervous, which made Chairman Yan even more hesitant about this action.
After the two guards gathered together, they sneaked into the palace quietly at night. To President Yan's surprise, the two guards in front of the palace fell asleep leaning against the stone wall. Then, they entered without any hindrance.
After entering the palace gate, it was only one kilometer away from where the king was.
There were not many guards in the palace. There were only four or five patrol teams in such a large palace, allowing them to escape easily.
The deeper he went, the more excited Feng Wenlang became.
"Maybe... there really is a chance to kill the king."
Feng Wenlang became more and more confident. When he sneaked into the vicinity of the king's palace, his panic turned into confidence.
