Volume Four, Volume 37, Chapter 18, The Tail of the Black Hand
After leaving the assassination scene at the city gate, Zhang Tie was taken to a castle in the city, where he was served delicious food and drinks, but he was not allowed to leave. There were people watching him...
This is Starlight Castle, a military center in Golden Crow City and a stronghold of the Golden Crow Merchant Group. It is tightly guarded. The castle is filled with elite warriors and heavy weapons. It is densely packed. If you are not a knight and want to rush out with force,
It's really not an easy thing.
It would be a joke if he started fighting with his own family in Golden Crow City with a different face.
According to the identity he made up for himself, Zhang Tie is now a wandering Taixia warrior with no care, no family and no sect. He doesn't have much face, so he listens to the arrangements in Golden Crow City with peace of mind. In this starlight
He was waiting in the fort for the big shots in Golden Crow City to come and meet him.
This is a living room in Starlight Castle. The living room is simply decorated. There is a map of Youzhou hanging on the wall. There are several chairs and a table in the room. There is a potted plant on the table. Because Zhang Tie is here, the person who brought him here is still here.
I specially ordered two plates of fruit to be placed on the table.
There are two guards fighting outside the door of the living room. There is a window on the wall of the living room. It is small and square, more like a shooting hole, but it can see the Golden Crow City.
Zhang Tie stood at the window of the living room, looking at the Golden Crow City while waiting for someone from his family to arrive.
Zhang Tie also knew that the timing of his attack was too coincidental. It’s no wonder that people in Golden Crow City had other ideas. If it were him, he would probably think about it too.
, when the assassin took action, at the critical moment, how could it be such a coincidence that someone blocked the assassin's attack? Could it be a trap?
Of course not. Zhang Tie knew it well and was able to save his father at the critical moment. It can only be said that the Zhang family has done good deeds and accumulated virtues for many years. God is blessing the Zhang family and does not want to see any more tragedies happen to the Zhang family.
By some mistake, he allowed himself to take action and break the killing situation.
Recalling the scene carefully, Zhang Tie broke out in a cold sweat when he thought that if even one of those poisonous needles hit his father.
Standing in the room, when the wind blew from the window, the cold sweat on Zhang Tie's body dried up, but his heart became even colder.
My father is just a small city lord of Golden Crow City, and has no serious connections with the outside world. To put it bluntly, it is true, if it is not related to him and the Golden Crow Business Group, with his father’s identity and temperament, there is no way he can do it.
It was worthy for someone to send such a killer to take his life. In this way, the target of the people behind the two killers would be obvious.
Apart from himself and the Golden Crow Merchant Group, there will be no one else. Although such an assassination would have an impact on the Golden Crow Merchant Group, because my father had almost no involvement in the affairs of the Golden Crow Merchant Group, and there was always a layer between them. So the impact was limited, comprehensively
Down, the possibility of targeting yourself is the greatest.
The revenge of killing his father. If the news of his father's death comes, can he still wander around in the "Earth Yuan Realm" with peace of mind? If he sits back and ignores it, how will the world view him? In addition, this
The Golden Crow Merchant Group and the entire Huaiyuantang may be unable to hold their heads high. And if you return to Taixia, then as soon as you show up, the other party will naturally have a murderous attack waiting for you.
This is what the people behind the scenes want to achieve, which is to force themselves out, and at the same time, to attack the reputation and influence of the now prosperous Jinwu Business Group and Huaiyuantang.
After understanding this, Zhang Tie was almost certain that the person behind this was definitely the person who framed him in the first place.
Who is that person? One of the Nine Qings of Taixia.
The two killers didn't expect to leave Golden Crow City alive after they took action. The poison they used to kill themselves was even more overbearing. In an instant, it could turn a person into a pool of blood, leaving nothing behind.
I can't ask anything,
But the person who was behind it didn't expect that he would accidentally break into this killing situation, and that he had contact with one of the two killers before he turned into a pool of blood.
What the person behind the scenes never imagined was that with his own attainments in the art of soul-stirring, in that short contact, before the killer died and his brain was completely melted by the poison, he could still recover from what he had already done.
The dead killer gained something in his mind.
Memories are read from front to back.
During that brief contact, Zhang Tie learned that the two killers had been living outside Jinwu City for more than a month. They lived in a hotel outside the city and wandered around Jinwu City every day, ostensibly looking for business opportunities.
, but actually waiting for the order to take action.
They didn't know who gave the order, and they didn't have any contacts in Golden Crow City. It was just that the first of the two killers to rush out carried a small crystal remote sensing communication device with him. The final order would be sent from the remote sensing device.
came from the crystal device.
Just an hour before the assassination, the order came, with only six simple words. Within an hour, the east gate...
After receiving the order, they destroyed the remote sensing communication crystal, and then waited for their father to appear near the east gate of Golden Crow City, and as expected, his father appeared within an hour.
Then the assassination happened, and it was that simple.
And looking back further in the memory, these two killers came from Zhongzhou, one of the nine great states of Taixia. The two people didn't even have names, only a four-digit code name. One person's code name was Jia 137, and the other person's code name was Jia 137.
It's A224, two people from a mysterious killer organization. Three months ago, they received a mission from the organization. The mission was to come to Jinwu City in Youzhou and assassinate the city leader Ping.
The mission included a photo and introduction of his father, as well as two brand-new fake identities and a small amount of funds. After receiving the mission, the two people set off for Golden Crow City, and have been there ever since they arrived.
Waiting for the order from the remote sensing communication crystal they carry with them.
The killer organization that the two people came from was very terrifying, and the tightness of its organization was beyond anyone's imagination. After receiving the mission, the two people never had contact with anyone in the organization. This was their first mission.
, was also the last mission. In that person's memory, Zhang Tie saw a gloomy face. That face was called General Manager Qi, and it was General Manager Qi who assigned this mission.
If the killer's brain was intact, Zhang Tie might be able to trace more things from that person's brain, but in the end, after General Manager Qi appeared, the person's brain tissue was corroded by the poison. Zhang Tie
The secret method of Blood Soul Temple was also forced to be discontinued.
The location of the killer organization's base in Zhongzhou, as well as the gloomy horse face of General Manager Qi. These were Zhang Tie's gains. Although it was very small, it allowed Zhang Tie to obtain a very key information, which was used to frame him in the first place.
The figure of his own figure finally became clearer in the heavy fog, allowing Zhang Tie to finally grab a bit of the tail of the black hand.
…
While Zhang Tie was waiting quietly, familiar footsteps sounded in the corridor outside.
The footsteps were still hundreds of meters away from Zhang Tie's room, and Zhang Tie had already heard the identity of the person coming from the footsteps: his elder brother, Zhang Yang.
Unexpectedly, it was his brother Zhang Yang who came here in person. Zhang Tie was a little excited. Thinking about it, his father's assassination was such a big deal. With his brother's temper and character, if there were any clues, he would definitely investigate in person.
of.
There were two footsteps beside Zhang Yang. One of them had been in this room just now, and the other just heard the footsteps. Zhang Tie knew that it was a knight, a black iron knight. But
Not a knight from Huaiyuantang.
Judging from the frequency, speed, and relative position of the footsteps, the knight who was walking beside Zhang Yang and deliberately one step behind was probably the bodyguard Zhang Yang placed beside him.
The footsteps came slowly and unhurriedly towards this side. Thinking of the pressure that his brother Zhang Yang was under at this moment, Zhang Tie secretly sighed in his heart.
If my father had not encountered such a thing this time, I could continue to play hide and seek with my brother, but at this time, it would be meaningless to hide my identity in front of my brother. To my brother,
Zhang Tie is still trustworthy. It's okay if some things are exposed appropriately. Moreover, Zhang Tie is also ready to re-establish contact with his brother when he comes back this time.
Thinking like this, although Zhang Tie was still standing in front of the window, his entire appearance slowly changed to look like Zhang Tie's.
…
"...The stunt used by the assassin who opened his mouth to spit out a hidden weapon to assassinate the city lord at a critical moment should be a special hidden weapon secret method, the Taotie Soul-Eating Needle. This secret method is very difficult to guard against, and it can allow people to use their hidden weapons at critical moments.
The battle energy is ejected from the mouth with nearly ten times the power, and it also has strong penetrating power for the body protection battle energy below the knight level. When it explodes at close range, it is very difficult to resist. If you are not careful, the war spirit level
Any master may fall victim to this trick. The only disadvantage of this hidden weapon secret method is that it can only be used once within a few days, and it will be very debilitating after being used once. After the person uses it once without success, he will immediately poison himself.
It seems that he already knows that he has no chance. According to the test, the poison used by the two killers to commit suicide was Heisha Huagu Powder hidden in their teeth in advance. People who take this poison to commit suicide are all dead soldiers...
"
Zhang Yang walked while listening to the report of the person next to him.
"Do you know if there is a sect or a character in Taixia who practices the Taotie Soul-Eating Needle?"
"This secret technique has been lost in Taixia for many years..."
"But that person used a handful of gold coins to block the Taotie Soul-Eating Needle?"
"That person's hidden weapon skills are absolutely superb. He is a master-level hidden weapon master!"
"Two hidden weapon masters appeared at the same time. One wanted to kill and the other wanted to save people. I was a little curious!" A cold smile appeared on Zhang Yang's face.
Then, as soon as he finished saying this, a voice that Zhang Yang had never expected appeared directly in his ears, and even the two people following him didn't notice it.
"Brother, I was the one who saved dad at the city gate today. I didn't expect you to come in person. I'm in the room. You can come in alone..."
This voice, this tone, is not who Zhang Tie is. How could Zhang Yang misremember the voice of his brother Zhang Tie? Just by relying on his feeling, Zhang Yang knew that it was definitely Zhang Tie.
In one hundredth of a second, a look of shock flashed across Zhang Yang's face, and then Zhang Yang's expression returned to normal, and his steps suddenly stopped... (To be continued...
