Yuan Tianzun

  Chapter 44 Heaven will not perish me

  Drizzled, the Nanlong River, which was quite lively in the middle of the night in the past, has become much more sluggish today, and many flower boats and green boats are docking on the bank.

  A lonely shallow beach.

   "Putong!" "Putong!" "Putong!" Accompanied by three sounds, Wu Yuan watched the three corpses bound with boulders slowly sinking into the bottom of the river!

   Until there is no more spray.

  Since waking up, Wu Yuan has experienced so much, and Wu Yuan is very calm about killing people.

   What's more, this is an assassin who came to assassinate himself.

"Here is two miles away from the river beach where I usually practice martial arts. It is located at the most downstream of the river beach in the city, and it is five miles away from the streets and alleys of Wu's house." Wu Yuan said silently: "The river is rolling, and even if these three corpses finally float up, It will take many days, and it will be further downstream, the probability of finding me? Nearly zero!"

   Clues? The three corpses have been stripped naked by Wu Yuan!

  Trace? When rushing over, Wu Yuan passed through the grass without a trace, not a single trace.

  In this Middle-earth world, there is no monitoring, and there are no various technological aids.

   "Jiulongshan should be a dark organization. There are three third-rate masters, one of whom is close to second-rate." Wu Yuan's eyes fell on the night clothes on the ground, as well as the poisonous dagger and sleeve arrow vehicle.

   No other debris.

  Recalling the opponent's fighting movements and the route of attack just now, Wu Yuan is sure that this is a strictly trained assassin!

   It's not that the strength of the three assassins is not strong enough, but that Wu Yuan's strength is too terrifying, and he happened to be retreating on the roof to gain insight in advance.

   Otherwise.

   Ordinary second-rate masters encounter a surprise attack by three people, and there is a high probability that they will be killed!

   "Please ask ordinary third-rate expert guards, a thousand taels of silver is enough." Wu Yuan secretly said: "Can you invite such an assassin? Three people?"

   Ten thousand taels of silver may not be enough!

   "Xu Shouyi, is that you?" Wu Yuan's eyes were cold, and all he could think of was this person.

   In theory.

   Some enemies of Hengyunzong may also attack themselves.

   But the news that he was specially recruited by the sect was tentatively decided the day before yesterday, and it has not been fully confirmed, and it has not been fully disclosed in the Wu family.

  Which faction responded so quickly? Received the news for the first time, and then immediately decided to do it?

  The probability is too small!

   After all, Licheng is only a county town, not a prefectural city! Messaging takes time.

   "Originally, I still had some scruples, but don't blame me if you push me again and again." Wu Yuan's eyes were cold.

  Many ideas had already emerged in Wu Yuan's mind.

   "Tonight, the assassination failed once, and it should calm down for a while." Wu Yuan's eyes fell on the ground: "Pack up these things first."

  Pack up the clothes, daggers and other things one by one.

   After cleaning up the traces of the tidal flat, and confirming that there is nothing left, Wu Yuan took this bag of things and left quietly.

   Wu Yuan did not bury these clothes and daggers on the river beach.

  Once the corpse surfaced, some experienced policemen and commissioners would search and search along the river.

  …

  Licheng is hazy with drizzle.

  However, the 'Nanmeng City', which is more than a thousand miles away, has a bright moon hanging high, and the moonlight covers the earth.

  As the core of Nanmeng Mansion, Nanmeng City has a population of one million. It is one of the core towns in the Hengyun Sect's territory, and it is a "big city" in the whole world.

  Across tens of miles from north to south, it is a bustling scene.

  To the east of Nanmeng City, there is a high mountain with many pavilions, a large number of palaces and martial arts arenas. Standing on the mountain, you can easily overlook the entire Nanmeng Mansion.

  In one of the temples, even in the middle of the night, the lights are still brightly lit.

   "Gao Yu."

   "What you said is true?" An old man in black robe with full head of white hair sat on the grand teacher's chair and said softly.

   At first glance, he is only in his sixties.

  But Gao Yu, who was standing in the central hall, knew very well in his heart that the old man in front of him was already a hundred years old, and he was just successful in martial arts and prolonging his life.

   "Palace Master, what this disciple said is true." Gao Yu said solemnly, "That Wu Yuan's talent is so rare in the world! Even Xu Hui is hard to match him."

   "Xu Hui?" the white-haired old man muttered.

  That is the most talented person Heng Yunzong has recruited for more than ten years.

   "Gao Yu."

   "It stands to reason that I should have gone there in person, but this time I am inspecting the three prefectures, if I go to Licheng specifically, it will only attract the attention of interested people." The white-haired old man said: "On the contrary, it is easy to have accidents."

   "Plus the meeting of the four families is imminent, and I want to go back to the sect immediately."

   "You, then took my warrant and went to Licheng to recruit Wu Yuan into our Hengyun Sect." The white-haired old man said: "You promised Wu Yuan, and I will order it after I return to the Sect."

   "Yes." Gao Yu was determined.

  What he was most worried about was that the Palace Master didn't believe what he said, and he never rejected some proposals.

   "Since you want to recruit specially, what is the meeting gift you prepared?" the white-haired old man asked suddenly.

   "Twenty pieces of top-grade quenching body pills, ten thousand taels of silver, "Nineteen Styles of Cloud Martial Power"." Gao Yu said.

   "It's a bit close." The white-haired old man shook his head.

   "Is this still bad?" Gao Yu was taken aback.

  In his opinion, this is good enough. After all, it is just a meeting ceremony. After Wu Yuan enters the sect, he will provide many more cultivation resources.

   "Please signal to the Hall Master." Gao Yu saw that the Hall Master was determined.

   "There is no need to provide yellow and white things." The white-haired old man said: "Gu Ji, bring the things here."

   Bang~ The side door is pushed open.

  A middle-aged man in sackcloth with an ordinary face came in, lowered his head, and held a white jade bottle in both hands.

   "This is?" Gao Yu was curious.

   "Open it and smell it, and you'll know." The white-haired old man smiled.

  Gao Yu took it from the middle-aged man in linen, carefully uncorked the bottle, brought his nose closer, and suddenly felt refreshed!

"this!"

  Gao Yu was startled, he understood what was happening in his heart, he even put the cork on the bottle, and looked up at the white-haired old man in shock: "Master, the two patriarchs managed to get it for you."

   "I'm too old, there is no hope of breaking through. I take most of this stuff, and there is only this little left." The white-haired old man said with a smile: "Didn't you say that Wu Yuan probably awakened the 'Shangdantian Palace'?"

   "This thing might suit him!"

   "Hall Master." Gao Yu couldn't help but said.

   "You don't listen to me?" The white-haired old man frowned: "Remember, don't lose this thing, I only have this little, and they may not have it in their hands too much."

   "Disciple understands." Gao Yu said solemnly.

  Put the jade bottle carefully into a box and put it away.

   "Gao Yu, once Wu Yuan's identity is disclosed, it will definitely attract prying eyes from all sides, and someone must accompany him to protect him." The white-haired old man said: "You are not good at protecting."

   "Ancient Ji!"

  The white-haired old man said: "This time, you go with Guardian Gao, and come to see me after Wu Yuan is safely escorted to the sect."

   "Yes." The middle-aged man in linen nodded, still lowering his head.

   directly stood beside Gao Yu.

   "The disciple takes orders." Gao Yu also bowed his hands.

  He knew in his heart that this 'Gu Ji' whom he had never seen before went to Li City to protect Wu Yuan.

   At the same time, it is also monitoring yourself.

   "Hallmaster, time is running out, so don't delay, I will rush back to Li City overnight." Gao Yu said.

   "Go." The white-haired old man waved.

  …

  Naturally, Wu Yuan, who is far away from the city, did not know about Nanmeng City. He cleaned everything up and went home to rest.

   Nothing seems to have happened!

  The next day, after the rain, Wu Yuan went to the ancestral house as usual, and immediately "wandered" around the streets and alleys of Wu's house.

  ... "Wu Yuan, still alive?"

   "And unscathed!" Xu Shouyi, who had been waiting in the study of Xu Mansion all night, could hardly believe his ears when he listened to his subordinate's report.

   It shouldn't be!

  However, he waved his hand calmly: "Go down, let Commander Liu tell the county lieutenant, and arrange more city guards to patrol around Wu Yuan's house, so that nothing goes wrong."

   "Yes." How did this guard understand these deep meanings?

   Thought that his general really cared about Wu Yuan.

"how so?"

Xu Shouyi, who was alone, walked back and forth in the study room, frowning: "Fifty thousand taels of silver! Jiulongshan clearly promised that it would send a strong enough force to carry out the assassination within a day, so Wu Yuan is no more than a martial artist, and there are no other masters in the Wu family. "

  He can't figure it out!

  Nine Dragon Mountain, although not as good as Qixing Building and Jiusha Mansion, is still a first-class dark force! Reputation is still enough!

   Until night falls.

  Xu Shouyi disguised his identity and entered the Jiulongshan stronghold, only then did he get the envelope explaining this mission and a small package from Jiulongshan!

  He disassembled quickly!

   "The operation failed. The three bronze-medal killers disappeared after entering the streets of Wu's house? There is a 90% probability that they are dead! I suspect that there is a first-class expert protecting Wu Yuan, so I gave up the mission?" Xu Shouyi stared at the contents of the letter dumbfounded.

   This exceeded his expectations.

  First-class master?

  He has already confirmed that Gao Yu left the martial arts academy, first-class masters are not Chinese cabbage, how many first-class masters are there in Nanmeng County?

   This is also the reason why Jiulongshan gave up the mission.

   There are first-class masters, but the assassination is too difficult, fifty thousand taels of silver?

  One hundred thousand taels of silver is not enough!

   "Trash!"

   "This Jiulong Mountain is really a bunch of trash!" Xu Shouyi's eyes flickered, looking at the pile of banknotes in the opened package.

   There are only 20,000 taels of silver notes.

   Three bronze killers are missing.

   Therefore, even if the operation failed and Jiulongshan gave up the mission, he still charged the cost of '30,000 taels of silver' and only refunded 20,000 taels!

  Thought for a long time.

   "The possibility of Jiulong Mountain deceiving me is very low!" Xu Shouyi shook his head slightly: "Is there really a first-class expert guarding Wu Yuan?"

   "The sect is too cautious."

  As far as he knows, unless the special move is confirmed, the sect will not send experts to directly protect it.

  At least, first-class experts should not be dispatched directly.

   "If you want to continue the assassination, how much money do you need?" Xu Shouyi asked directly.

"No, we are just a division of the county, and we are not capable of killing first-class experts." The black-robed man belonging to Nine Dragons Mountain shook his head and said: "What's more, this Wu Yuan is highly valued by the Hengyun Sect, and the risk is too high. If Your Excellency really Want us to report to the headquarters and ask a master to kill him? At least 500,000 taels!"

   "500,000 taels?" Xu Shouyi stared.

Too dark!

   It's even darker than Nine Kills Mansion!

  However, Xu Shouyi understood that this was because the Jiusha Mansion did not know that Wu Yuan was guarded by first-rate experts.

  Otherwise, Nine Kills Mansion’s asking price will only be higher.

   "Now, I'm in trouble." Xu Shouyi got up and left the Jiulongshan stronghold.

  The more the sect attaches importance to Wu Yuan, the more terrifying it will be if Wu Yuan takes revenge in the future.

  Sneak all the way.

  Xu Shouyi returned to his mansion.

   Not long after he changed his clothes, Housekeeper Xu hurried over: "General, big event, big event!"

   "Big event? What big event?" Xu Shouyi suppressed his irritability.

   "General."

   Xu Butler said: "These days, I have been arranging people to investigate the affairs of the Tiger Gang, and I have basically found out why the mysterious gunman joined the Tiger Gang!"

   "Why?" Xu Shouyi was also aroused with curiosity.

"It's for a token." Butler Xu handed over two pieces of paper and said, "For this, Yang Long killed almost all the insiders in Yizhuangzi, and only two people survived by hiding in the cesspit. , was caught by us and forced to question, this is the shape of the token they traced."

  Xu Shouyi connected.

   Take a look.

   "Chujiang order?" Xu Shouyi's eyes lit up, and his breathing became short of breath.

   "Heaven will not kill me!"
