Chapter 35 The assassination begins
"Archive!"
Before nightfall, Zhuo Bufan saved the file in time. Then he returned to the inn and met up with Duan Xinghe and Twelve.
"What did you gain?"
Although Twelve is the youngest, because he entered the August Tower before Zhuo Bufan and Duan Xinghe, he is senior above them.
This mission was also led by him, playing the role of a small captain.
"Let me tell you first. I heard from the only brothel in the town that Zhu Biao loves beauty. Maybe we can use a beauty trap." Duan Xinghe said first.
"You guy, I asked you to collect intelligence, why would you go to a place like that?" Twelve complained crazily.
"I don't think that flower house is suspicious. There is such a place in a small town. Of course, the main reason is that the girls inside are so enthusiastic. As soon as I walked past their door, they pulled me in, you know Yes, I never refuse requests from beauties. Who would have thought that they would still pick up customers in broad daylight?”
Duan Xinghe narrowed his eyes and said with a satisfied smile.
"How many were slaughtered?" Zhuo Bufan asked casually.
"How do you know that I was killed? Damn Lao Zhuo, that shabby brothel, killed me for a thousand taels of spiritual stones, which is the price of a girl. It's only a hundred taels in Huoyun City."
"One hundred taels? Take me with you next time." Zhuo Bufan said coldly.
"Hehehe, Lao Zhuo, I didn't expect you to be so crooked." Duan Xinghe said with a smile.
"Life and death are determined by God, enjoy yourself in time." This is an important truth that Zhuo Bufan realized after coming to this world.
The two people's dirty words made Twelve Fast go crazy.
"Hey, you two, please be serious. We are on a mission, you know?"
"I'm so angry, Chu Ba, what did you gain?" Twelve clasped his hands and looked at Zhuo Bufan.
Zhuo Bufan said calmly after hearing this.
"Well, I discovered that our employers are the residents of this town."
"They seemed to be oppressed by Black Stone Village. With no other choice, they raised a sum of money to buy Zhu Biao's life from us, Four Seasons Mountain and River."
"In addition, tomorrow seems to be the day when people from Blackstone Village go down the mountain to collect support fees. By then, most people in Blackstone Village will go down the mountain. Only a small number of people and the target people are left in the village."
Zhuo Bufan's information was very useful, Twelve praised it after hearing it.
"Well done Chu Ba, so tomorrow will be the best time to take action."
“Now let’s talk about the information I got!”
"First of all, this Black Stone Village was only established three years ago. Before the Black Stone Village appeared, this Fugui Town was a very wealthy town."
"However, Fugui Town has now declined. Although it is the only way to the west coast, many people will not stay long after arriving in Fugui Town for fear of being robbed."
"Then, that's what Chu Ba said. In order to deal with Black Stone Village, the residents of Fugui Town have asked many experts to help suppress the bandits, but they all failed."
"One of them is a cultivator named Xishan Taoist. He is an elder of Qixia Sect fifty miles away from here. I heard that after receiving the money, he was bribed by Heishizhai in turn. They collaborated and squeezed a lot of money from Fugui Town. "
"Finally, and most importantly. I found out about our target character, Zhu Biao. Because of his physical condition, he is lazy and eats too much. He spends most of his time sleeping every day."
As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Bufan and Duan Xinghe's eyes immediately lit up.
"He spends most of his time sleeping. Doesn't this mean that when he is sleeping, it is the best time for us to take action?" Duan Xinghe said to Zhuo Bufan.
"That's right! I just said on the eighth day of the lunar month that most of the people in Blackstone Village will go down the mountain tomorrow. This will leave Blackstone Village's defense empty, and since the guy likes to sleep, it is very likely that we can kill him without any effort."
Twelve made an assassination move. As an assassin, if you can kill your opponent without anyone noticing, then you will be a qualified assassin.
I have to say that gathering intelligence before doing anything is very useful. Otherwise, they would not have known so much information.
…
Early the next morning, Zhuo Bufan and the others packed up their equipment and headed for Wild Boar Mountain.
Halfway down the road, they discovered bandits coming down the mountain to rob. After they passed by, the three of them immediately headed towards the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, there is a huge mountain village built of black stone, hence the name Black Stone Mountain Village.
The three of them hid behind a boulder and saw a bandit patrolling the stone wall of the village.
"I'll kill him and prepare for action." Duan Xinghe said impatiently.
But at this moment, Twelve grabbed Duan Xinghe.
"Wait, put the mask on."
Duan Xinghe watched Twelve put on the mask carefully and couldn't help but ask: "Is it necessary? I can just kill everyone who has seen my face."
"What's more, with this mask, who doesn't know that you are from Four Seasons Mountain and River?"
Duan Xinghe's words made sense, and Zhuo Bufan also felt that there was no need to wear masks. After all, he had seen another couple from Four Seasons Mountain and River who didn't wear them either.
Speaking of which, after joining Siji Shanhe, he had not met the Chushi guy, so he must not be from the same building as him.
"Stop talking nonsense and put it on quickly." Twelve scolded angrily.
After hearing this, Zhuo Bufan and Duan Xinghe had no choice but to put on their masks.
"Okay? Look at me, use the sword to shoot the stars."
"Wait, wait a minute."
Just when Duan Xinghe was about to take action, Twelve stopped him again.
"So what?" Duan Xinghe said.
"Be careful, are you sure there is only one person on the city?" Twelve said.
"It seems there is only one person." At this moment, Zhuo Bufan said at the side.
I saw that he had a crossbow in his hand at some point, and the bandit standing on the city wall had died under his shadowless crossbow.
"Well done, Lao Zhuo."
"Ah ah ah, Chu Ba, what are you doing? Why don't you listen to my instructions?"
Broken Galaxy and Twelve are two completely different reactions.
"I just think that the opportunity must not come back again. And our time is limited, so we don't have time to be sneaky."
Zhuo Bufan could see that Twelve was not cautious, but afraid. Standing next to him, Zhuo Bufan could completely feel the tension emanating from Twelve.
"I know, but you have to be careful, you know? If we don't pay attention, we will be discovered. What if we disturb the sleeping target?"
"It's not too late to kill him if he's alarmed." Zhuo Bufan said calmly.
"Hey, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Just when Zhuo Bufan was arguing with Twelve, he saw Duan Xinghe sneaking into the village quietly.
"When did you run out? Follow my orders, you bastard." Twelve was about to cry, but neither of the two people listened to his orders.
"Why don't you stay here and guard us in case the bandits come back." Zhuo Bufan suddenly said to Twelve.
When Twelve heard this, he immediately frowned: "Chu Ba, do you look down on me?"
"I just think that with this arrangement, Lao Duan and I will have no worries."
"Come on, you just look down on me. You are the same as those people, right? If you think I am a weakling, isn't it just killing people? Who wouldn't!"
Under Zhuo Bufan's stimulation, Twelve summoned a sharp dagger from his Najie, and then rushed towards the stronghold.
His speed was very fast, like the wind, he disappeared in a flash.
Looking at his leaving figure, Zhuo Bufan narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"Sure enough, you haven't killed anyone before!"
He finally understood why Twelve was nervous, because this guy had never killed anyone before. He seemed very cautious from the beginning, just to cover up his inner panic.
