Chapter 1428: The Tortuous Assassination Path

~8 min read 1,424 words

He Lingchuan said meaningfully: "Xue Zongwu is guilty of heinous crimes, and it should be his turn." Weng Xing spat: "The Yao people used to say that your Black Armor Army didn't dare to set foot in the Yao Nation, didn't dare to assassinate Yao people. If Xue Zongwu's death spreads, it will be a hard slap in their faces!"

Just imagining it made him very proud.

"Xue Zongwu's death will be recorded on my head and won't implicate you." He Lingchuan stood up and looked at the two of them, "You do as you please, no need to worry."

The Weng brothers looked at each other and said in unison: "My brothers are willing to follow you, to do things with pleasure!"

Although it was pleasant to have the great revenge avenged, they were alone again. Even if the Yao Nation didn't find trouble with them, they were drifting in the Jianghu with no fixed place to go.

"Pleasure?" He Lingchuan was originally about to leave, but turned around when he heard this, "What is pleasure?"

"Uh..." Weng Su was stunned by his question instead, and Weng Xing rushed to say, "Helping those in need, drawing a sword to help, isn't that pleasure?"

He Lingchuan asked back: "You can do this kind of pleasure yourselves, why bother to defect to me?"

"This..." Weng Su was somewhat embarrassed, "My brother and I are reckless in doing things, we know it ourselves. Defecting to you, we will have a direction."

Ever since they swore an oath to Brother Tu Yuanhong, for so many years, they just followed the big brother in doing things, and they didn't even need to find the direction themselves.

If a person doesn't make decisions for a long time, slowly they won't know how to make decisions.

"My usual actions are very unpleasant." He Lingchuan laughed lightly, "You follow me, you won't find much pleasure."

"It doesn't matter." The brothers didn't mind at all, "Brother Tu was slow and hesitant, and we still swore an oath to him as our brother before?"

Tu Yuanhong was good at dancing with long sleeves, so such a person must have thought about things and had comprehensive considerations.

Weng Xing added: "Whether it's eliminating evil people like Xue Zongwu or saving the dying and healing the wounded, we'll do it all!"

Using one's brain is really too tiring; it's best if someone tells them how to do it, and they just follow suit.

He Lingchuan didn't commit, but asked the two: "You assassinated Xue Zongwu, you didn't just try once, right?"

Weng Xing nodded: "How did you know? We had set up a killing formation at Rock Mother Cliff beforehand, as long as Xue Zongwu passed through the valley, we would smash him to death!"

The Great Emperor Jiuyou raised his hand and gently supported his forehead.

Hearing the beginning, he knew the result.

The mirror in his bosom laughed uncontrollably: "Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, laughed me to death! There really are fools who went to ambush at Rock Mother Cliff!"

"Master, Master, you must accept these two funny guys, there will be fun later!"

"As a result, the guy surnamed Xue was cunning and didn't go, causing us to blow cold wind on the mountain for a whole night." Weng Xing hated, "We rushed to Tao Water to wait for him. He used to visit the Feng family when passing through Tao Water City. Who knew..."

"The Feng family was reported by Qingyang, the Supervisor."

"Right, right!" Weng Xing nodded like a pounding garlic, "Benefactor, did you go to Tao Water too?"

"..." The silly boy even knew how to ask back.

"Then you boarded the ship at Dragon Mouth Ferry?" Now that he thought about it, Xue Zongwu's guards pushing several boatmen off the ship probably also felt the threat.

"Yeah, we tried to mix onto Xue Zongwu's ship, wanting to take the opportunity to assassinate."

"We originally thought, at worst, jump off the ship to escape, at worst... don't want this life." Weng Xing added on the side, "Who knew Xue Zongwu wasn't on the ship at all! He quietly changed to another ship for himself."

"Ouch, ouch, these two funny guys, laughed my stomach to pain!" He Lingchuan's ears were full of the Soul-Sucking Mirror's loud laughter, "Ouch, no, I don't have a stomach."

"..." Are there only two funny guys?

Weng Su was still narrating: "Then, we had no choice but to take action at Little Peach Shanzhuang."

"Taking action early means losing your life early, your luck is not bad." He Lingchuan said straightforwardly, "How did you sneak into Little Peach Shanzhuang?"

He had the skin of Lord Boshan, which made him invisible when worn, so he could enter from the back door. Besides that, the walls of Little Peach Shanzhuang were arranged with traps and formations, and illegal intrusion would encounter trouble.

"We wanted to pretend to be servants to mix in, but Little Peach Shanzhuang even required a guarantor to recruit a few temporary workers." Weng Su pressed his neck, making a *clack* sound, "We were worrying about it when we suddenly discovered that Little Peach Shanzhuang had to purchase a large amount of fresh food, fruits, and vegetables every day."

He Lingchuan nodded: "Guests are coming, Little Peach Shanzhuang's preparation amount might be ten times more than usual."

Weng Xing pointed at Weng Su: "My brother discovered that Little Peach Shanzhuang had to order two fat pigs every day. The best thing is, the pigs were all slaughtered and peeled clean before being sent over as whole pigs, and the stuff in their bellies was all hollowed out!"

"You two..." Finding another way, huh.

The Soul-Sucking Mirror *tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk*: "Have to praise, these two goods can stretch and shrink."

"We calculated the time and hid in the pigs' bellies. We didn't even have to spend effort, and the mule cart sent us into Little Peach Shanzhuang's back kitchen." Weng Su laughed, "As long as we entered the door, we could just walk around openly afterward. Anyway, there were strange faces everywhere in the villa, and no one investigated who we were."

Guests were coming, Little Peach Shanzhuang had welcomed countless distinguished guests these days... and the servants of the distinguished guests, how could they recognize so many strangers?

"What about those few explosions?" He Lingchuan was also hooked with curiosity, "How could they be so precise?"

Cannons had long been popularized, and even when he first entered the Panlong illusion, he used several large cannons on the South City Gate to bombard National Master Sun Fuping. But in the battles of practitioners, gunpowder was rarely used. On one hand, it was difficult to time, and on the other hand, the power of gunpowder wasn't enough in front of Daoist divine abilities.

Not to mention, there was the reduction of Yuan power to it.

However, it was still very effective against ordinary people.

Still very scary.

The Weng brothers only created a few explosions tonight, and they mixed the whole Little Peach Shanzhuang into a pot of porridge, exceptionally precise, exceptionally timely.

Weng Su pointed at his brother: "It's all this kid's credit."

The two had done all kinds of work in their youth, and working in mines was also a common occurrence. Weng Xing learned a skill of opening mountains and splitting rocks—using explosives.

Explosions that control quality, quantity, and scale can not only open mountains but also open mines. Weng Xing had worked in a gold mine and could shrink the explosion range to within one zhang, precisely detonating.

He Lingchuan understood, this was actually an engineer, rare, rare.

"However, to manufacture such a large-scale explosion with timing, relying on myself alone is still strenuous." Weng Xing scratched the back of his head, not hiding anything in front of his benefactor, "I have a 'Heavenly King Scale,' which is a magic treasure Brother Tu found and gave me. With this treasure in hand, I can do these things more easily, and can even control the time of the explosion."

He still had lingering fears: "Thanks to the Heavenly King Scale protecting its master tonight, otherwise I would have been burned to ashes by that little flame beast of Xue Zongwu!"

Controlling the explosion time? Just looking at this point, the Heavenly King Scale was a rare treasure. He Lingchuan's heart moved: "I want to borrow your Heavenly King Scale for a use."
