It was late at night, and Chengguoji gradually became quiet.
Chengguoji is a shopping mall located outside Nanhe City, three points and one line from Nanhe Wharf and Nanhe City. Although it is very prosperous, it is not large in area. It is not a separate county. Instead, it is under the direct jurisdiction of Nanhe City, and taxes are directly transferred to it. South River City.
The Cyclamen Inn where Lu Wu and his party are currently staying is located on the east side of Chengguoji.
Of course, it was impossible for Lu Wu and his party to be alone in such a huge inn.
In addition to ten independent courtyards specially prepared for wealthy families, the Cyclamen Inn also has five two-story wooden buildings with single rooms for passing businessmen to stay.
Jiang Min is one of them.
He stood at the second-floor window of the Cyclamen Inn and looked far away at the Tingyun Courtyard where Lu Wu and his party settled.
Logically speaking, it was getting late and it was so dark that it was difficult to see fifty meters away, and the Tingyun Courtyard was more than a hundred steps away from the guest room area.
However, the world is so vast that strange people and strangers emerge one after another. Although this Jiang Min is not a master, he is also outstanding.
He was born with extraordinary eyesight and had developed a strange secret skill called "clairvoyance".
This secret skill produces an extremely thin and subtle Qi. Because it is too thin, it is useless for fighting, but it can travel around the eyes without damaging the fragile eye meridians, and can greatly enhance vision. .
Therefore, Jiang Min could use the moonlight in the sky to see Tingyun Courtyard clearly.
"What, what did you see?"
There was another person sitting in the darkness of the room, but it was another spy, Sun Ben.
Two days ago, they found the whereabouts of Lu Wu and his party just after crossing the river.
This is not really because of their high level of recruiting people - although they were selected by Wu State, they are naturally top-notch veterans - but because Lu Wu is too conspicuous.
Not only did they kill Pingnan General Xie Qi and a boatload of elites on the river, but they also swaggered into the best inn, as well as the lord of Nanhe City and one of the Six Sages of Beishan, Qu Jingqu Wenyi, and the Legalist great sage Xu Yang Xu Ziteng came to visit hand in hand.
As long as you have some good information, you can know where Lu Wu is staying without even asking around.
Jiang Min and Sun Ben did not immediately go to join Lu Wu and his party, but spent their own money to stay at the Cyclamen Inn.
Jiang Min and Sun Ben usually travel around as merchants to collect intelligence, mainly in the Chu Kingdom.
This time I was ordered to join Lu Wu, accompany Lu Wu on his travels in the Central Plains, and take care of chores for Lu Wu.
For the superiors, this is just one sentence, but for Jiang Min and Sun Ben, it means that they have to follow Lu Wu and walk in the Chu Kingdom.
If a spy wants to live a long life, it is natural to keep a low profile as possible, but Lu Wu's behavior makes the two spy leaders feel that their prospects are bleak.
"How is it?" Sun Ben asked.
They have been secretly observing Lu Wu and his party for the past two days so that they can judge their future actions.
"No one is here - none of them are here." Jiang Min means that Lu Wu and the five maids are not here. As for Li Shi and others who joined later, they have not yet paid attention to them.
"Where will they go?" Sun Ben asked.
"How do I know this? Maybe he wants to kill someone?" Jiang Min said.
If Lu Wu went out alone, they would probably guess that he went to visit a brothel; if Lu Wu went out with Li Shi and others, he might also go to a casino - it's human nature to go to whoring and gambling.
But Lu Wu and several maids disappeared quietly at night. Apart from killing people, Jiang Zimin couldn't think of any other purpose.
I've never heard of anyone taking a maid with them when visiting a brothel or casino.
"Is there anyone here who is worthy of General Lu's action? Could it be that he has entered Nanhe City?" Sun Ben asked suspiciously.
Although they think Lu Wu is just a young boy, they also think that Lu Wu's achievements in military martial arts are definitely worthy of the word "general".
It is impossible for such a master to kill a gangster - in the entire Nanhe City, the only one worthy of General Lu's midnight assassination is Nanhe City's Lord Ou Wenyi.
"If this is really the case, then something big will happen." Jiang Min took a breath of air and looked back at Sun Ben. The two looked at each other.
Assassinating the lord of a city, especially the city lord on the border between Wu and Chu, was the tempo to seize Nanhe City and launch an all-out war between Wu and Chu.
But if that's the case, shouldn't they be sent here?

Chengnan Town,
Screams and begging for mercy resounded in the Wang family mansion. This sound spread out of the Wang family mansion and could be heard by many people.
But no one came to watch the fun.
Old Mrs. Wang is not someone to be trifled with, and a ruthless character who can come to kill Old Mrs. Wang's entire family is certainly not someone to be trifled with.
Within a quarter of an hour, the Wang family mansion became quiet. Only three unlucky guys who escaped from the Wang family mansion from different directions, but were nailed to the ground by long arrows falling from the sky, were still screaming miserably.
Of course, these three people were not the only ones who escaped, but they were the only ones who could still scream.
The old man looked out from the crack in the door and saw a man lying outside the side door of the Wang family mansion where servants usually go to buy groceries.
He was shot from the back by an iron arrow and was nailed to the bluestone pavement alive. He kept wailing in his mouth, his voice getting lower and lower, and he was about to run out of breath.
"Old man, what are you looking at! Don't bring trouble to the family." The old woman stretched out her hand and pulled the old man hard, trying to pull him back into the house, but she didn't dare to make a loud noise.
"Hey, old woman, come and see who this is!" the old man whispered, and at the same time let the door open.
"Hey, isn't this the wire snake Luo Ziqing? I also know him when he turned into ashes - he is also here today?"
"Luo Ziqing died here. I think the Black Snake Club is over this time. It's great - hehehe." The old man wanted to speak in a low voice, but as he spoke, he couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Naturally, the five-acre mansion of Wang Long's family was not obtained for free. It was taken by force and the space was obtained by merging several houses.
Luo Ziqing was Wang Long's chief disciple. He was trapped here. Coupled with the movements in the Wang family mansion just now, it was obvious that the Wang family was doomed.
"Where did this hero come from?" The old woman stared at Luo Ziqing, the wire snake lying on the ground.
If she wasn't worried about the danger when he went out, she would have wanted to go out with a kitchen knife and chop him in two to satisfy her hatred!
If it weren't for Luo Ziqing, they would have been a well-off family with a shop of their own.
Now the shop has long become part of the Wang family's mansion. Even the second son of the family cannot live in the town and has to go to the city to work for people to make ends meet, leaving the Haohao family divided.
It was because Luo Ziqing threatened that if he saw two of his boys in the town, he would break their legs.
"How did I know? Later we will set up immortal tablets for these heroes." The old man said happily.
"It's just a pity that the Ye family girl might also be killed by these heroes." The old man sighed.
The Ye family was even more unlucky than theirs. Not only had their family property been devoured and everyone in the family was imprisoned, but their only daughter was also snatched away into the Wang family - today the concubine taken by the old thief Wang Long is the Ye family girl.
