The meaning of the night in Xingcheng is difficult to understand.
While the slums had already fallen into darkness and silence, the lights were on in the wealthy district, especially the brothels and restaurants that were open in succession, making it as noisy and lively as a rice market in broad daylight.
In such an atmosphere, an old blue-gray carriage drove slowly through the street. The driver did not look at the feasting and feasting around him, as if a devout believer was going to worship the gods, and just drove the car without saying a word.
, walked through the bustling city, came to an urban area with few pedestrians, and turned into a side alley.
Then, in the darkness, masked men wrapped in black tights appeared around the carriage, like the shadow of the carriage, and followed them without saying a word.
The road was slippery, probably because few people had walked on it and the moss had fallen off. No matter whether the carriage or the masked person walked on it, they didn't make much sound.
The alley is winding and there is no light at all. At the end of the road is a sealed wall. It is pitch black and no one can be seen coming towards you.
The thin old man on the carriage was holding a whip in one hand, motionless, like a fisherman. Around the carriage, masked men in black were sitting or standing, like stone sculptures.
I don't know how long I waited, but when the commercial street not far away became more and more lively, a man's voice suddenly came from the darkness in front of the carriage, "Taishan... I didn't know until today that you are the same."
Those of you who are on the same side, if you look back now, you will see that your Anling Commander, Yan Taishou, has actually done a really good job..."
Hearing that voice, only a few of the dead-like masked men around the carriage reacted. Some of them quietly put their hands on their weapons or pinched a few hidden weapons, while others adjusted their body shapes,
So that they can violently kill at any time.
No one noticed when and how the speaker appeared there. Everyone just felt that the person should have been there all along, or that there was no one there at all.
As a result, this extremely dark dead end suddenly became as vicious as the maw of a ferocious beast in the eyes of everyone.
The thin old man on the carriage was not surprised at all. Although until now, in his perception, there was still no breath of living people in the darkness ahead, he was more sure than others that he was there. "As of now."
, what’s the point of that kind of thing, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, we are all losers.”
The man in the darkness was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said coldly, "The one who survives to the end is the winner..."
"It's really meaningless to argue about the past. Let the past be gone, including the grudges between you and me. What will be left now? You should understand the reason why I took the risk to come to you this time.
We have a common enemy, and Xingcheng right now also has a common opportunity for us." The thin old man raised his head slightly and looked into the darkness in front of him, "But with your or our strength alone, we will probably fail.
It is only possible through cooperation.”
The man in the darkness sneered, "I don't think that the grudge between you and me can be over with just one sentence, and I don't think that you guys can be of much help to my actions...
....”
The skinny old man laughed for a while and then slowly shook his head and said, "I thought that after several failures, you could become more modest and cautious, but unexpectedly you are still the same." He lightly whipped the horse's back with his riding crop.
, and waved his hand to signal the masked men around the carriage not to follow him, and then drove the car to the depths of the dead end. Through the moonlight, he could finally vaguely see a black figure standing in the corner, "You are very strong now.
But it's not strong enough to run unimpeded in today's Xingcheng. And as long as you are alone, it is destined to be impossible to fully grasp the situation of all parties, but Zhen Ge... is born for intelligence.
organize!"
The black figure was silent.
The thin old man continued, "We are not just the people you can see now. Zhen Ge, who has mastered enough information, is capable of creating a big chaos in the entire city at the same time, and is also capable of cooperating.
The person who delivers the strongest blow at the best time and in the best position can still retreat if he fails to succeed. You have just said that the one who survives to the end is the winner, isn't it?"
The black figure moved slightly, and several masked men in the darkness behind the carriage couldn't help but want to take action, but found that he had just adjusted a more comfortable posture and leaned against the wall behind him.
But just when the emaciated old man and the masked people relaxed their vigilance a little, a dark green magic circle with a radius of dozens of feet, with the black figure as the center, flashed across the ground and disappeared!
The masked people flew towards the carriage one after another, but the thin old man raised his hand to stop them again.
The black figure folded his arms in front of his chest and was still leaning against the wall behind him. Seeing the actions of the masked people, he did not react at all. He just raised his chin and his voice suddenly became louder, "Tell me about your plan."
, Taishan..." The thin old man exchanged glances with several people around the carriage, and then said, "According to our observations for many days, there are not many experts who came to Xingcheng with that person this time, and they can pose a threat to you.
The only thing that can interfere with your actions is a woman in white and a few Wangchuan sword cultivators, but these people are not... following that person all the time!
"
The black figure seemed to move, "For example, when?"
"For example, now," the thin old man said with a smile on his face, "the so-called Annan Assembly ceremony to worship the heavens lasts for three days in total, and the sacrifices to the heavens are divided into morning sacrifices and night sacrifices. That person will participate in the morning sacrifices every day, but not the night sacrifices.
Go, Wangchuan Sword Cultivators are different, most of them go to watch the morning and night ceremonies."
Seeing that the thin old man stopped talking, the black figure asked, "Where is the woman in white you mentioned?"
The thin old man's smile grew wider, and he deliberately paused for a moment before continuing, "The woman in white left the city the day before yesterday for some unknown reason."
"Have you left the city?" the black figure asked again, "Do you know when you will be back?"
"I can come back at any time," the thin old man said without any hesitation this time.
The black figure put down his hands and walked out of the darkness in the corner. He was wearing an extremely large black cloak. Even if he stood under the moonlight, everyone still couldn't see his face clearly. "That is to say, at this moment,
There is only a shadow next to that person, and the best time you said...is right now?!"
The thin old man nodded, "There will also be a night festival tomorrow night, but no one can guess whether the woman in white will return to the city, and I have participated in the night festival for two consecutive days without seeing any miracles. Those Wangchuan Sword Cultivators have
It’s hard to say how much he will attend tomorrow’s night festival, or even whether that person will just stay in Lijun Courtyard, everything is hard to say.”
The black figure asked again, "Where is the best place?"
The thin old man said, "The man should still be in Guangjun Courtyard at this moment. It's not far from here. Walking out of this alley is the way that man must pass from Guangjun Courtyard back to Lijun Courtyard...
land."
The black figure seemed to understand, "If I, the person who can deliver the strongest blow, don't agree, will you do it yourself?"
The thin old man remained silent.
The black figure walked towards the carriage and passed between the masked men who were waiting, "If this happens, the grudge between you and me will..."
