In the Western Continent, night shrouded Chang'an City. The ancient city seemed to be asleep, with only sporadic lights twinkling in the darkness.
In a secluded corner of the city, a mansion stands majestically. In the underground wine cellar of this mansion, the walls are covered with various dusty stone bricks, exuding an old and moist atmosphere. A row of ranked wines are inserted on the shelves.
Above, there were a few clusters of spider webs hanging near the ceiling, like a few slightly squirming white silk threads.
The dim lights on the wall swayed from time to time with the flow of air, distorting the shadows of the three people as if they were being pulled by weird forces. Sophia was covered in a long black cloak, tightly wrapping her body in it.
Below, only a pair of gloomy and cold eyes were exposed, standing on the side of the round table like a ghost returning from a storm, staring at her two most loyal men, with deep scrutiny and expectation in her eyes.
One of his subordinates is the nominal owner of this mansion. He is wearing an ordinary brown robe. His expression seems casual, but there is a secret light shining in his eyes. He has never had any public contact with Sophia, and he has deeply buried himself in it.
Hidden in the bustling city of Chang'an is Sophia's most important secret in this land.
On weekdays, he has no tasks and no actions at all. He is just like an ordinary businessman, doing some inconspicuous small business and running a restaurant. He has no record of tax evasion and tax evasion. He is as low-key as a drop of water.
sea.
The other subordinate is an indomitable desperado. He followed her from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent. His tall and burly figure is like a moving wall, giving people an insurmountable sense of oppression. This seemingly cruel,
But the man who was infinitely loyal to her had already disguised himself as a tourist and spent a whole day around the tightly guarded Forbidden City.
However, at this moment, facing Sophia, he could only shake his head helplessly, and said in a dull and low voice: "There is no good way, he doesn't leave the Forbidden City at all."
As the core of the power of the Tang Empire, the Forbidden City was extremely well-protected. There were sentries all around, and the Imperial Guard soldiers were all watching eagerly. No one could get close to make trouble, and even he would feel the obvious when he got close to the place with red walls and green tiles.
The discomfort seemed to contain some kind of repulsive and warning power in the air.
Whenever he approached that mysterious and majestic place, his heart seemed to be clenched tightly by invisible hands, and trembling and panic swept through his body.
There was a trace of unconcealable fear and helplessness in his tone: "The closer you get to that place, the more you can feel the desperate power."
Every time he thought of the moment when he was stared at by those sharp-eyed Guards soldiers, he would feel uncomfortable all over, as if any conspiracy and disguise were invisible under those ruthless eyes.
To be honest, he didn't dare to look at those people even once, because even a daring murderer like him, who often kills people, has a feeling that he will be seen through the moment their eyes meet, and he will be pinned to the ground in the next second.
The feeling of fear.
"How do you describe that power?" The strong man scratched his head, as if trying to find the right words to describe the oppressive feeling that made him feel suffocated: "It's not as sharp as a sword, nor as heavy as a boulder.
But it's everywhere, like..."
He paused for a moment, frowning, as if recalling the feeling that made his hair stand on end: "It's like air, but thick and breathless air."
After following Sophia by boat to the Western Continent, he took a deep breath, as if he wanted to dispel the lingering fear in his heart: "The closer you get to the Forbidden City, the more obvious the feeling becomes, as if there are countless pairs of eyes watching you secretly.
, leaving you nowhere to hide."
He clenched his fists and made a crackling sound with his knuckles: "If I were asked to go to Lanes City to assassinate a big noble, I would never be as uneasy as I am now, and I would even feel a little excited."
After speaking, he shook his head and continued with a wry smile: "But, in Chang'an, near the Forbidden City, I feel like a rabbit that has strayed into the tiger's den and may become prey at any time."
The Tang State's intelligence agency, Silver Fox, often made him feel like he was being spied on. He hated those lunatics who were like a virus that spreads to the bones.
So he was afraid that Sophia wouldn't understand what he said, so he reminded his boss emphatically: "As soon as those people from Silver Fox got a little smell, they gathered around. We have no chance in Chang'an."
"To be honest, I'm scared." He lowered his head, with a hint of unwillingness and dejection in his tone. After he finished speaking, he raised his head again, with a hint of pleading in his eyes: "Miss Sophia, do we really want to implement this plan?
It's really too dangerous there, I'm worried..."
He hesitated for a moment and did not continue, but his meaning was already obvious.
"It seems that we have to rethink the plan. At least, the plan of entering the Forbidden City seems to be unworkable." Sophia understood the strong man's meaning and expressed her judgment with some regret, but this sentence made
The strong man breathed a sigh of relief.
"My subordinates feel that if we have a chance, then... maybe Plan 3 is the only chance we can wait to take action." The subordinate who has been lurking in Chang'an certainly knows what kind of environment Chang'an is. He has been thinking about it from the beginning.
He didn't agree with Sophia's plan, so he kept trying to persuade Sophia to give up.
"I have always disapproved of any plans to directly penetrate into the Forbidden City, because these plans are a complete waste of time." His tone was full of disbelief, as if he thought Sophia's previous plan was simply crazy: "That's the Forbidden City!
Sir, you may not know where that place is, but I know that going there is asking for death."
"That's the center of the entire Tang Kingdom. It's as big as a city. Even with a map, it's not easy to find where Tang Mo is after entering." He seemed to be asking Sophia, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
Quote: "Just the guards and patrols guarding the Forbidden City are enough to make anyone despair."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What's more..." He lowered his voice, as if he was telling a secret that couldn't be told: "What's more, I heard that there are some that have never been used outside. We have high-tech equipment, and the alarm might go off if we touch something."
"I'm not questioning your ability, sir, but with people like us, it's really difficult to break through the layers of defense and enter the Forbidden City." He shook his head, his tone full of bitterness: "I can even say that, you can If you touch the edge of the vermilion city wall, reach out and touch the vermilion paint on it, and then you can brag about it for the rest of your life if you come back safely."
"You mean..." Sophia's voice became longer, and an imperceptible glint flashed in her blue eyes. Obviously, compared to the previous bold and almost crazy plan, she was more interested in this so-called third party. She was more interested in the plan. She ignored the rebuttal in her subordinate's tone, and just raised a carefully groomed eyebrow slightly, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in her tone: "...is the third plan feasible?"
"That's right, sir. At least it's more feasible than the first plan!" The subordinate who had been lurking in Chang'an, the nail in Sophia's mouth, saw that Sophia had finally become interested in the third plan. He immediately cheered up and answered. Said: "Although I have never met Tang Mo, we can speculate on his current mental state."
He paused, organized his words, and continued: "According to my judgment, although Tang Mo is very capable, he has a fatal weakness, and that is..."
He paused deliberately to whet Sophia's appetite, then lowered his voice and said slowly: "That's because he is too young. He has achieved such great achievements at such a young age. Anyone... would be inflated."
"Sir, think about it, he has just unified the whole world. It is the time when he is satisfied with his ambition, and it is the time when he is most likely to get carried away." There was a trace of certainty in his tone, as if he had already seen Tang Mo's future. : "In this case, he will definitely hold a grand coronation ceremony to announce his victory and glory to the world."
The more he talked, the more excited he became, as if he had already seen the moment when the plan would succeed: "As long as we wait until then, we will have a chance!"
He waved his arms excitedly, as if he had foreseen that scene coming: "Imagine when he stands on a high platform with everyone's attention, immersed in the pinnacle of power, accepting cheers and worship from all over the world, we..."
He deliberately lowered his voice and raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth: "Give him a 'gift' that he will never forget!"
He slammed the map with his palm and made a dull sound: "At that time, he will be surrounded by dignitaries from all over the world. In order to show his kindness and generosity, he will order the guards to relax their vigilance and even allow Some civilians approached to show his so-called 'people-friendly' image."
He looked at Sofia, then at the sturdy Sofia follower, with a confident tone in his voice: "And this is our opportunity!"
"At that time, he will definitely come out of the turtle shell of the heavily guarded Forbidden City. Even if the defense force is still very difficult, the opponent will have more places to be wary of." In his opinion, the success rate of operations outside is very high.
It is obviously much higher than entering the Forbidden City to commit suicide: "We will definitely get a chance if we hide in the dark!"
"Sniper?" The strong man is a shooter who is good at sniping. Even though he looks like a master of hand-to-hand combat, in fact his marksmanship is much better than that of fighting. So, Sophia thought of this method.
At that time, I immediately looked at the strong man.
The strong man nodded. Compared with sneaking into the Forbidden City, he felt that ambush and sniping the target in a distance was obviously a better way to succeed: "Sniping is also a good choice. As long as he shows up in public at that time, his subordinates will be sure
Shoot him to death from a distance of about 300 meters!"
"No...it's not safe! If he had worn a bulletproof vest that day, or if the bullet you fired had missed a little bit, we wouldn't have had a second chance like this." Sophia quickly dismissed such an idea. She only had
An opportunity, so don't waste it.
"Indeed, if you miss, we won't have such a good opportunity." The nail who was ambushing in Chang'an also looked at the strong man and shook his head.
"Then, how about adding insurance?" The strong man hesitated and came up with a new idea.
"Bomb?" Sophia's eyes lit up.
"Nail" nodded and said: "Yes! Bomb! We can do a little trick and plant a bomb at the place where he was crowned! If I don't shoot him to death, you can also detonate the bomb and send him away completely.
!”
"But, if we can plant a bomb at the place where he was crowned in advance, wouldn't it be unnecessary to arrange for you as a sniper?" Sophia thought of a question and said with a beautiful frown.
"I'm just an insurance policy. If something happens, they won't think that I'm hiding in the dark." The strong man immediately answered his boss's question.
"You're right...the two plans...will be executed together! They will definitely not guess that I will arrange it this way." Sofia nodded with satisfaction while further detailing the plan. The two parallel plans do not touch each other.
, which means it will not be exposed.
She looked at the strong man and gave instructions: "Starting from today! You act alone, and if you can avoid contact, we should not contact you casually... Even if one of us is caught, the others must complete their own tasks."
plan!"
"Understood." The strong man nodded immediately. His job was relatively simple. He only needed to get a high-precision sniper rifle and then find a way to find a commanding height with a good view. He was confident that the opponent would not be able to escape him.
A fatal blow, as long as you give him a chance to shoot, Tang Mo will be finished!
"Yes! Sir!" Nailie nodded immediately. He was very satisfied with his success in persuading Sophia to venture to the Forbidden City. The next thing to do was how to install a bomb at the ceremony where His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire was crowned Lord of the World.
Already.
Sophia generously gave her promise: "I will deposit 50 million gold coins into the agreed account. After the matter is completed, this money will be the guarantee for you to enjoy glory and wealth! For our ideals! Kill Tang Mo! Let's
The world is back to normal!”
"Kill Tang Mo!" Sure enough, the strong man's enthusiasm seemed to be ignited. They were originally a group of desperadoes. Although they were not on Sophia's side for money, who thought they had too much money?
"Kill Tang Mo!" Dingzi also showed an excited expression. Not only did he want to go crazy in Chang'an, but he also wanted to get some money for his future...
