Early the next morning, the mansion was empty and there was no one left.
Everyone spread out and looked around for news.
At noon, Li Zhen returned to the mansion first. Then Yang Banhou came back, and the rest of the soldiers also returned one after another. After everyone returned to the mansion, Li Zhen looked at the soldiers sitting around and asked: "Every soldier has been assigned yesterday.
Have you found out about the target of your personal sniper killing?"
"The investigation is clear."
Yang Banhou and the other soldiers answered quietly, all showing eagerness to try.
Everyone has a target. For example, Li Zhen’s target was Liu Lichuan of the Xiaodao Society. To find out the situation, he had to determine the location where Liu Lichuan would be sniped and at the same time determine the retreat route. Yang Banhou’s target was the Xiaodao Society.
The Flying Tiger General Pan Qiliang wanted to inquire about Pan Qiliang's residence and various places where Pan Qiliang traveled.
The remaining soldiers were also in charge of Xiao Dao Hui's General Zhang Hanbin, General Cai Yongliang, and Li Weichi, Chen Alin, Lin Afu, Xu Weiren and other backbones of Xiao Dao Hui. They were all targeted for assassination.
Li Zhen said with a serious look: "Everyone is ready, let's start taking action. Everyone enters the selected position and prepares to assassinate the target. Remember, life comes first, killing the enemy second."
Yang Banhou said worriedly: "If you deal with Liu Lichuan alone, will your strength be a little weak?"
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "I can kill Liu Lichuan by myself, I don't need help."
After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "One more thing. Regardless of whether the task is completed or not, you must come back at night. Okay, everyone is gone."
After the words fell, everyone began to get busy.
Li Zhen put the sniper rifle in a black bag, carried it on his back, and wrapped it with ribbons to avoid being exposed. After doing all this, Li Zhen put on a coarse linen clothes, changed his attire, and left
The mansion.
One after another, Yang Banhou and the other soldiers all dispersed and went to perform their tasks. Everyone was equipped with guns and ammunition, and also prepared daggers, which could attack from a distance or assassinate at close range.
…
County government, Yamen.
This was originally the county government office of Shanghai County. After it was captured by the Xiaodao Society, it became the office of the Xiaodao Society.
Especially after Liu Lichuan founded the country, the county government almost became a royal palace. All orders were issued from the county government, but Xiaodaohui was forced into a corner without any time to breathe, and no one had time to enjoy themselves. The nerves of every Xiaodaohui general
We are all tense, thinking every day about how we can defend Shanghai and maintain the current results.
Outside the county government office, a main road leads directly to the south gate of Shanghai County.
There are restaurants and inns beside the road a hundred meters away from the county government office.
If Liu Lichuan came out of the county government office and went to the south gate, he would have to pass through the road below the restaurant. The place Li Zhen chose was one of the inns. The room Li Zhen settled on was on the second floor, with the street outside the window, which was perfect for hiding.
It is also suitable for Li Zhen to snipe Liu Lichuan who is passing by on the street.
"Bang! Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the room.
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows and hurriedly hid the sniper rifle he took out of the bag before walking over and opening the door.
Outside the door, stood a middle-aged man in his early forties. This man had a professional smile on his face, but a philistine look in his eyes. When he saw Li Zhen, his eyes rolled and he asked: "
Sir, do you need anything else?"
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No need!"
The middle-aged man said: "Sir, you came to our place to rest. You must be tired. Do you want to find someone to relieve you? The one I found will definitely be very tender."
When Li Zhen heard this, he already guessed the meaning of the middle-aged man's words.
Before Li Zhen could refuse, the middle-aged man introduced him eloquently: "Sir, when there were many foreigners in the city, they would come here to stay in a hotel and find a beautiful person to accompany them to relieve their fatigue and boredom.
Alas, the foreigners have run away, and the business of the inn is not easy. I will give you half the price. What do you think?
Li Zhen shook his head and said, "I'm just staying in the hotel to rest. Don't disturb me."
The middle-aged man was very disappointed when he saw that Li Zhen was unmoved, so he left.
Li Zhen closed the door and locked it, thinking that it was lucky that the middle-aged man knocked on the door at this time. It would be a tragedy if Liu Lichuan passed by and when he was ready to shoot, someone knocked on the door.
Li Zhen took out his sniper rifle again and began to arrange the room. All Li Zhen had to do was wait and wait for Liu Lichuan to pass below, and then snipe Liu Lichuan.
Sitting next to the window, Li Zhen waited slowly.
For Li Zhen, the long wait was just something he was accustomed to, and it did not make Li Zhen anxious.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the sound of gunshots was faintly heard in the city.
A smile appeared in the corner of Li Zhen's eyes, knowing that someone among the people sent out had fired. The gun went off, but he didn't know whether the mission was successfully completed. But Li Zhen quickly took back his thoughts and continued the long and boring wait.
Time gradually passed, and scattered gunshots sounded one after another in the city.
However, there was still no movement from Li Zhen.
The sun was setting in the west, and it was already evening. A cold wind blew outside the window, and the weather became colder. Li Zhen looked at the empty streets with a calm face, still waiting quietly.
"Da da!"
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves coming from under the window.
Li Zhen raised the curtains and looked around, and saw a group of soldiers with their heads wrapped in red scarves running hurriedly from the south gate towards the county government office. At this moment, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Li Zhen's calm eyes.
There was a bright light. Li Zhen immediately took action, picked up the sniper rifle from the table, checked the barrel, etc., and then leaned against the wall.
The window opened a gap, and a section of the gun barrel came out of the gap. Li Zhen brought his eyes close to the scope, aimed at the street below, and entered a state of preparation for sniping.
The soldiers who had just gone to the county seat were running in a hurry, with a hurried expression on their faces.
In this situation, it is likely that someone shot a general under Liu Lichuan's command, and the soldiers came to report the news. Once Liu Lichuan got the news, he would probably leave the county government and go to the place where the killed general was.
The opportunity has come.
Li Zhen waited quietly. About a quarter of an hour later, he found a group of people running out of the county government office.
This group of people is none other than Liu Lichuan and his party.
As it was getting late, the accompanying soldiers had already lit torches.
One torch after another illuminated the night sky, making the surrounding area as bright as day. Li Zhen's eyes wandered among the crowds leaving the county government office, and he spotted a person who stood out. This man was tall and tall, wearing a bright yellow python robe and a golden jade belt around his waist.
He also wore a bright yellow cloth scarf on his head, which was in sharp contrast to the soldiers wearing red cloth scarves around him.
There is no doubt that this person is Liu Lichuan.
Liu Lichuan rode out, and there were many people around to protect him.
Li Zhen looked through the scope and found that Liu Lichuan was also worried. But this had nothing to do with Li Zhen. Li Zhen hid in the hotel room and adjusted his position, aiming his gun at Liu Lichuan who ran out of the county office and towards the road downstairs.
"boom!"
Li Zhen pulled the trigger, and a gunshot was heard immediately.
Under the cover of night, a bullet shot out of the air and shot directly between Liu Lichuan's eyebrows.
