After leaving the General's Mansion, Chen Tianju and Wang Shi got into the same carriage. Chen Tianju's eyebrows were dancing with joy, while Wang Shi's forehead was covered with clouds.
Chen Tianju smiled and said: "Brother Wang, you don't have to be anxious. When I go this year, it will be your turn next year."
Wang Shi was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "That's what you said."
After returning to the mansion, Wang Shi's face turned cold again. When he came to the study, he opened the window, screened out everyone, and sat on a chair to wait silently.
Not long after, noises and shouts suddenly came from outside the door.
Wang Shi came to the door, and the manager of the mansion just ran over and said hurriedly: "Sir, there is a bandit in the east hall of the mansion. He is probably the Goryeo bandit who caused a lot of trouble recently."
Wang Shi smiled coldly: "You are so brave, you dare to steal things into my house."
I hurried to the east hall and saw several servants besieging a man in a gray short robe.
The servants in the Wangshi Mansion were all skilled in martial arts, but the short-robed man was trapped in a tight siege and could not escape.
Just when the fight between the two sides was getting fierce, Wang Shi shouted: "Get out of the way, let me deal with him." He rushed towards the man in short robe, and the man in short robe hurriedly turned around to meet the enemy.
Upon seeing this, several other servants stopped their hands and stood aside.
The two figures were fighting fiercely. Wang Shi used his claw technique, and his attack was fierce and sharp. After a dozen moves, the man in short robes was at a disadvantage, rolling left and right.
Wang Shi's eagle-claw-like hands are either grabbing or sweeping, and his fingers are like five short blades. The tree trunks or pillars he sweeps will leave five finger marks.
After a few more attacks, suddenly, the man in short robe was unable to dodge, and was scratched with five wounds on his chest.
The man in the short robe hurriedly counterattacked, but Wang Shi easily dodged it. He took a step forward, came behind the man in the short robe, and clasped the man's shoulders with both hands.
The man in short robes suddenly let out a shrill scream.
Wang Shi's hands were seen sliding down the opponent's arms to his wrists, grabbing and twisting, twisting both arms of the short-robed man behind his back.
Then he kicked out with two clicks, and both hands of the man in short robe were broken.
Wang Shi threw the Korean thief to the ground, took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood on his hand, and wrote lightly: "Send him to the woodshed to be locked up. Since he is a robber, he must have stolen a lot of treasures. Let him all
Spit it out!"
The two servants responded and escorted the man in short robe away.
Wang Shi returned to the study and closed the door. As soon as he turned around, he saw a man in black wearing a ghost mask behind the desk that was empty just now.
Wang Shi hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master, you are here."
"How's it going? Did it go well?" A deep voice came from behind the grimace mask.
Wang Shi lowered his head and said, "My subordinates deserve to die. Things are not going well. Wu Chengsi only agreed to speak for Chen Tian."
"How could this be? Did you donate less money?" The grim-faced man said coldly.
Wang Shi said hurriedly: "It shouldn't have anything to do with the amount of money. Pei Xingjian said there are very few places, and even Wu Chengsi would have a hard time getting two places.
The ghost-faced man was silent for a moment and said gloomily: "I let you get close to Chen Tianzhu in the first place because I wanted to use him to help you attend the royal banquet. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an obstacle to us!"
There was murderous intent in his voice.
Wang Shi was slightly startled: "Do you want to send someone to kill Chen Tianzhi?"
The man in black looked at him strangely and said solemnly: "Is there any problem? Since he is blocking our way, we naturally have to get rid of him."
Wang Shi hesitated for a moment and said: "But this is Nansu City after all, and Chen Tianju has met Wu Chengsi. If he dies suddenly, I'm afraid it will attract Wu Chengsi's attention."
"So what?" the man in black said coldly.
"I heard that Wu Chengsi is good at solving cases. If he finds out our identities, with his power, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the entire Fire Phoenix Society will be implicated, and then the Holy Mother will blame us!" Wang Shi lowered his head.
, said cautiously.
The man in black snorted and said: "Do you think this hall master will do anything wrong? Before I came here this time, I had already prepared and brought two people from the "Moth Hall" to do this. Wu Cheng
Even if you are a god, you can’t even think of finding out anything!”
After hearing this, Wang Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
After hesitating for a while, he whispered: "Hall Master, I heard that the thing we planned on Huainan Road was ruined. Is this news true?"
The muscles on the grimace man's face twitched, and he said grimly: "Yes. It was destroyed by Di Renjie, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. He found out that we were instigating the people behind their backs, and exposed our conspiracy in public."
Wang Shi said in surprise: "Isn't Protector Zhang personally presiding over there? Why would anyone want to find out?"
The man in black's eyes flashed with cold light: "Are the people from Dali Temple so easy to deal with? That Di Renjie is not only good at solving crimes, but also has strong martial arts skills. Protector Zhang personally tried to assassinate him but failed."
"...How could it be!" Wang Shi was shocked.
Zhang Hufa is the top master in the society. His martial arts skills are even better than those of the grim-faced man in front of him. He rarely encounters opponents in the world.
Although he had long heard that there were many masters in Dali Temple and that it was an important institution for the imperial government to manage the world, but only now did he truly understand the power of Dali Temple.
The grim-faced man said coldly: "Although Di Renjie is powerful, we are not easy to mess with. After learning the news, Our Lady has sent the entire Moon God Hall to hunt down this person, led by Hall Master Guan himself. There is no way he can survive."
Return to Chang'an!"
Wang Shi exclaimed again: "The entire Moon God Hall?"
The man in black glared at him and said angrily: "Nonsense, Di Renjie is a member of the government after all, and there must be many subordinates around him. If you want to assassinate him, if you don't send a group of people, there is no chance!"
King's style is called "yes" continuously.
The ghost-faced man said calmly: "Okay, you can wait for news in the mansion. After Chen Tianzhu is dead, you can find another opportunity to ask for Wu Chengsi. You must find a way to sneak into the royal banquet."
"My subordinate understands!"
Wang Shi bowed his hands respectfully, and when he raised his head again, the ghost-faced man had disappeared without a trace.
Outside the palace, the ghost-faced man climbed over the courtyard wall. As soon as he landed, the hair on his body suddenly stood up. He tiptoed and flew back to the west, looking towards the east of the courtyard wall.
He saw a man in Tsing Yi standing under a tree, staring at him quietly.
"Is that you?" There was a fearful look in the eyes of the ghost-faced man behind the mask.
The man in green said coldly: "Chao Feng, I don't care what your Fire Phoenix Society does in Jiangnan, but this is Nansu City, and the imperial court is fighting against the Koreans. This is not a place where you can cause trouble."
The ghost-faced man stared for a long time and said solemnly: "Gao Junhui, I know that you have defeated many powerful characters in the world in the past few years, but after all, you are only one person. If you go against our Fire Phoenix Club, you should know what will happen!
"
Gao Junhui said coldly: "Your Huofeng Club has done a lot of harmful things in the name of Lingbao Sect in recent years. If I hadn't been busy, I would have gone to Jiangnan to pick your leader."
The ghost-faced man smiled sinisterly: "It seems you must be against us."
As soon as the whistle was blown, several figures passed by in the distance, and four men in black instantly surrounded Gao Junhui. These four people are the Twelve Vajras of the Fire Phoenix Society, and each of them has first-class martial arts in the world, not Zhuge Nan.
under.
At the same time, the five fingers of the ghost-faced man's right hand were spread out in a hook shape. Each finger was wearing a metal finger glove, and the whole palm looked like a ghost claw.
Gao Jun will slowly draw out his sword.
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and it seemed that a cavalry team was running towards this direction.
The ghost-faced man said coldly: "You're lucky, retreat!" As soon as he finished speaking, several people ran north. Gao Junhui's figure flashed and chased after the few people.
A dozen breaths later, a group of cavalry arrived, led by none other than Wei Heng. He scratched his head and said, "Strange, I just saw a sneaky man in black coming this way.
Where did you go?"
He turned to look at the house and asked, "Whose house is this?"
A soldier team leader in charge of this area replied: "It is the residence of Vice President Wang of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce."
Wei Heng pointed to a deputy and said: "You lead half of the people to surround the house, and the others follow me into the house to take a look. Maybe the Korean bandit ran to his house."
He said and led people around to the main entrance.
After knocking on the door and asking, the palace actually encountered a Korean bandit and caught him. Wei Heng was surprised and happy, and put the bandit in prison.
One afternoon two days later, Wei Heng's men reported that four corpses were found outside the city, all of them men in black, whose throats had been sealed with a sword.
That night, Wang Shi, vice president of the Tang Chamber of Commerce, quietly left South Sioux City.
