Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash. So many people took action, but they couldn't catch three mice. Now I regret that I specially called you here for this operation!"

Angry roars rang out, and the area around the room had been cleared in advance, so no one could see or hear the hysterical voice Captain Lin made at this time.

Captain Lin's voice fell, and the room suddenly fell into silence. Ren Huo and Yu Xiao, who were standing opposite him, remained silent. Yu Xiao secretly looked at Ren Huo, then at Captain Lin, and finally lowered his head slowly.

Of course he didn't want to stay here with Ren Huo and be scolded for such a stupid thing, but he didn't dare to leave, especially when Captain Lin got angry.

Ren Huo's face was very ugly, his face was red and white. He wanted to say something, but when he looked up and saw Captain Lin's angry eyes, he swallowed the words he spoke.

"You know what a critical time it is for us. Even the slightest leak of our situation will directly lead to the failure of the entire operation. If something goes wrong, you should know what the result will be, and you should also know what it is. I can’t bear the consequences.”

Captain Lin spoke again, his voice lowered a bit, and the anger in it seemed to be reduced a bit, but both Ren Huo and Yu Xiao felt the slightest chill from it.

The previous scolding only made Ren Huo feel ashamed, but now he was frightened and hurriedly said, "Captain Lin, please don't worry, the three people were found on the corridor between the gambling house and the brothel. After that, they He fled directly to the back garden, never having the chance to enter the building to investigate.

I specifically asked about gambling houses and brothels before, and some people vaguely remembered that they wandered around in gambling houses before, but failed to enter the third floor of gambling houses, so there is no need to worry about our affairs being leaked. "

Captain Lin looked at Ren Huo with cold eyes and frowned slightly. Then he seemed to remember something and sighed heavily, saying: "Forget it, how could those secrets on the third floor of the gambling house be leaked easily? If those three The mouse really went to the third floor without opening its eyes, and it must have been dead for a long time now.”

As if he was talking to himself casually, Captain Lin suddenly asked again: "Who is the other party? Can you confirm his general identity and background?"

After a slight hesitation, Ren Huo replied: "If I guessed correctly, those three guys are probably the group with the surname Shu."

Hearing that they were from the Shu surname, the corners of Captain Lin's eyes twitched violently, and he said unconsciously: "How could it be them? If they come at this time, could it be..."

Turning to look at Yu Xiao, Captain Lin asked: "Is there any movement over there with those two girls? If it's those guys named Shu, they should be here for those two girls. They are my biggest trump cards." , there must be no mistakes.”

Nodding, Yu Xiao said with great certainty: "Although there are no people arranged by me around those two girls, they can never have contact with the outside world. The guards have been replaced by my close associates, so there will be no problem. of.

It's just that if you put it in your hand like this and can't completely take it off, it will still cause a lot of trouble. Captain, would you like to...? "

Shaking his head, Captain Lin immediately denied it and said: "This trump card can be used in two ways. If we use strong measures now, it will mean that we have abolished one of the uses. Only like now, can we be able to advance or retreat. , there is help on the side when entering, and there is a convenient door when retreating.”

Nodding, Yu Xiao didn't seem to understand, but he seemed to have a rough idea of ​​what Captain Lin was thinking, so he remained silent and said nothing.

Turning to look at Ren Huo, Captain Lin continued to ask: "How confident are you that those guys are of the Shu surname's identity?"

"Almost 60%." Ren Huo returned softly after thinking about it for a while.

"only these?"

Nodding, Ren Huo replied: "Among those three people, the fighting methods and methods of two of them seem to be somewhat close to those of the Shu family, and that's where my conclusion comes from.

But there is another person among them who, judging from his tactics and fighting methods, does not seem to be of the Shu surname. If the Shu surname hadn't been exposed in a battle with the ghost painter, I would have been 70% sure that it was Shu, but now it's only 60%. "

"Sixty percent... isn't high!" Captain Lin muttered silently, falling into deep thought. The room became extremely quiet again, and both Ren Huo and Yu Xiao were cautious and did not dare to say anything.

After a while, Captain Lin suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "It seems that our plan is going to speed up. Today's three mice are just a signal to remind us that the night is long and the dreams are many. Now that we have a new plan, let's make other preparations. Speed ​​up.

Starting today, the two of you tell all your men that they cannot rest except for eating and sleeping. And from now on, including you two, you cannot leave Zuixiang Tower without my consent, otherwise... you will be punished with defection. "

Hearing the word "defection", Ren Huo and Yu Xiao couldn't help but tremble. No matter in any family, "defection" is definitely the heaviest punishment.

Captain Lin didn't need to say more. Ren Huo and Yu Xiao already understood that the current situation was in crisis. A careless move could not only result in a failure of action, but the worst possible outcome would be a boat capsize and everyone being buried in the city.

"Captain Lin, we just started preparing today, and too many places are not perfect. And because we need to do everything ourselves, that's why the three rats have a chance to take advantage of us."

Waving his hand, Captain Lin said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Sleep is not necessary, everyone should meditate and rest from today, and don't take turns to rest when there are not enough people. Any other questions?"

Seeing Captain Lin's aggressive eyes, Ren Huo didn't dare to say much, and nodded to show that he understood. Yu Xiao responded even more obediently: "Please rest assured, Captain, I will arrange for people to do the work right away."

"Well, go!"

Waved his hand to signal the two to leave. When Captain Lin was the only one left in the room, a trace of fatigue and confusion gradually emerged in his eyes, forming a sharp contrast with his previous coldness and determination.

"Alas, I don't know whether this choice is right or wrong. But things have come to this point, where do I have any room for choice? Now I can only go all out. I hope my choice is not wrong, and I hope everything will go well."

With a long sigh, Captain Lin's self-talk fully showed his helplessness at this time, as well as his worries and concerns about the future.

...

At night, when the lights were on, the Su family began to become lively again, and this kind of liveliness was slightly different from when everyone came here in the morning.

At that time, the three families of Su Wang and Guo worked together to search the ghost painter's mansion from top to bottom, and finally burned it to the ground. From the momentum, whether it is the Su Wang family or the Guo family of the City Lord's Mansion, they have reached a peak state.

But the development of the next thing was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Maybe Su Jian already had a bad premonition, but he still felt in his heart that although it was difficult to catch the ghost painter, there was still hope that it could be realized.

Now that the strong men from various families who had been busy for a day have withdrawn from outside, there are still people on the streets of Kuocheng who continue to secretly investigate. But the result was not satisfactory, especially since so many people had searched everywhere in the daytime but still failed. Hope became even slimmer at this moment.

"Pa"

A heavy slapping sound broke the silence in the room, and Wang Xiao's somewhat anxious voice sounded.

"Damn it, now Kuocheng is almost in our hands, but how come the ghost painters are gone? Can they still go up to the sky and into the ground? With the existence of the city defense formation, they can neither fly away nor escape underground. Can they disappear out of thin air?"

As if remembering something, Wang Xiao suddenly turned his head to look at Guo Xiao and asked: "In addition to the passage at the city gate, the only way to enter and exit Kuocheng is to have a teleportation formation in your city lord's mansion. Could it be..."

Guo Xiao's face changed slightly and he turned to look around. The two old men, Kang and Zhao, hurriedly said: "Commander Wang only knows one of them, When Kuo City was first built, there was indeed a teleportation array in the City Lord's Mansion. But the array has long been broken, and it has never been repaired for countless years, let alone how to use it. "

When Wang Xiao asked, Su Jian looked calm and said calmly: "Does Chief Kang know why the array was damaged and why it cannot be repaired until now?"

Guo Xiao obviously didn't know about the array, because he didn't grow up in the City Lord's Mansion since he was a child, and he didn't know some things about the City Lord's Mansion. At this moment, he also looked at the old man surnamed Kang with curiosity.

The chief steward Kang smiled bitterly and said, "The reason why the City Lord's Mansion has a teleportation array is well known to the older generation. The reason is that it existed before the City Lord's Mansion, and even before Kuo City. When the City Lord's Mansion was built, the city lord at that time hoped that the array could be repaired and become a resource in the hands of the city lord, so the mansion was deliberately built at the location of the array.

But later, the situation was somewhat counterproductive. No matter how hard the array masters invited tried, they could not repair the teleportation array, and finally it could only be left idle there."

The old man surnamed Zhao continued, "If this Kuo City really had such a teleportation array, its prosperity would not be inferior to Guanmen City. Moreover, when the old king Xuanhong was in power, this array could be used, which was definitely a considerable income. How could no one have used it for so many years?"

Nodding, Wang Xiao already knew that he was wrong when the old man surnamed Kang explained it before. Now after listening to what Kang and Zhao said, he was more certain that he had made a mistake.

When everyone had automatically filtered out the message, Ikari, who had been listening quietly in the corner of the room, suddenly changed her expression and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
