Ultimate Assassin System

Chapter 885 A simple trap

Three days later, in the evening.

The sun sets in the west, and the twilight atmosphere gradually arises. However, this did not affect the prosperity of Brandu City. Various lights were shining like stars in the sky, and the exciting nightlife had just begun.

Of course, the excitement also depends on the location. Brandu City is probably the most prosperous and affluent city on the continent. It has the longest and most main roads and the busiest commercial streets. But even so, there are poor people everywhere, even in poor and remote places. But it has to be said that even in the slums, the situation in Brandu City is much better than that in other cities.

Therefore, if we use an adjective to describe it, it can only be said to be a bit deserted, such as this street in the corner of Nancheng District.

I didn't expect this lunatic to actually come to the capital... Do you really want to try and see if you can assassinate the king?

Ha, no, Senior Brother, you are too worried. The situation is like this. From our point of view, the king is naturally much more important. But in that guy's view, ten old kings may not be as good as his A hair of the beautiful girl! So, okay——

Well, what you say makes sense. But, Philip, aren't you his friend? Why don't you seem nervous at all now?

Nervous? Why?

...Haha, it seems that you really have confidence in him. Are you expecting that he won't come tonight?

I didn't say that. That guy's actions are uncertain. Senior brother, please don't try to trick me. I've said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said. I really don't know anything else. If you don't believe me, you can kidnap me and torture me to extract a confession. Okay... Now, let's see. My grandfather has been friends with that guy for many years. I even call him Xiao Tang affectionately. Isn't he very calm now?

Nothing big or small! Even the best tea can't stop your mouth!

Uh. Drink tea, drink tea...

A small and very historical tavern, it seems to have been reserved now. Except for the wooden table near the window on the second floor, the entire tavern is quiet. And even though it's called a tavern, what's in front of a few people is tea with a green mist floating in it.

This is of course not a lack of hospitality in the tavern. In fact, it is an act of embarrassment to the tavern owner who is currently downstairs praying to heaven. He didn't dare to neglect these people. In other words, regardless of whether these people were drinking tea, even if they suddenly wanted to drink palace jade brew, the tavern owner would still dare to knock on the door of the royal castle overnight and ask for something confidently...

There is no other reason than that the skinny old man sitting at the east end of the wooden table is the patron saint of Bran, the number one master in the mainland, the sword god Wooding!

This is a supreme honor! The tavern owner is thinking about it now, just waiting for the sword god to leave. He sealed up the table by the window and kept it at home. or. A fence was erected on the spot for visitors to pay their respects... Of course, it would be better if Lord Sword God could leave any ink treasures, then this ancestral tavern will become popular...

Okay, regardless of the shop owner downstairs who is lost in his endless reverie, let us turn our attention to the upstairs.

There were four people at the wooden table - Wooding, Haita, Wen Silin and Philip, who was not exactly the same no matter where he was.

Except for that time when he quietly went to the north, Sword God Woodin has not been down the mountain for many years, let alone set foot in Brandu City. Now that he suddenly appears here, he will naturally not be an alcoholic. In fact, if this is the case, King Bran will definitely collect the best wines from all over the world in a very short time, and then queue up to send them to Wooding Lodge...

Wooding is here for one reason and one person!

After three cups of tea, he said, Senior Brother, is your information reliable? Looking away from the graceful young woman who turned the corner, Phillip looked around and seemed to have found no target, and he suddenly felt a little agitated. He couldn't sit still anymore and said, Don't say that I have undermined your confidence. That guy is very slippery and there is no chance of waiting. Otherwise, we should break up. I still have an important date...

Oh? Is there any young lady in the capital who doesn't know you are the capital flower...

Cough...cough... He coughed suddenly and secretly glanced at Wooding, who looked as calm as water. Philip sat upright and waved his hands, Elder brother, please don't talk nonsense. I have important things to deal with. However,... It’s not that it can’t be postponed, well, I’m still here to accompany you all.”

Hearing this, Haita chuckled twice and did not continue the pursuit. Instead, he pointed to somewhere outside the window and said, I can't say whether it's reliable or not. Have you seen that clothing store? That's where the Gray Army gathers intelligence. The branch of the organization secretly set up here. Tang En sent people here a few days ago to get information about the Royal Castle... Of course, that was what we sent there before. There is no problem with the information, but in I have reservations on some key points. If Tang En has read the information, he should come over in person to inquire in detail. Well, the agreed time is almost now.

Philip was stunned when he heard this: Tsk, no wonder the old people often say that people who look honest are often full of bad feelings. Senior brother, you are not honest... Wagging his finger, Philip looked extremely frivolous. However, after being glanced at by Wooding calmly, he immediately entered the state of looking at his nose and his nose at his heart.

So there are no problems with the people in the organization? At this time, Wen Silin, who was sipping tea, suddenly asked. This was also the first thing he said tonight.

After the Battle of Songhai City, Wen Silin was seriously injured. But this was just a traumatic injury. After treatment by the palace high priest, he was basically healed within a week. What really hurt Wen Silin was probably his heart. As soon as the injury healed, he went to the mountain for seclusion. He was silent and gloomy all day long. No one knew what he was thinking, but it was indeed hard to see the arrogant and domineering spirit of the past. If Wooding hadn't gone down the mountain himself this time, he wouldn't have followed.

Now that he heard his question, Haita subconsciously looked at Wooding and nodded lightly. Regardless of whether Wen Silin really learned a lesson from his mistakes. Only now that he hears Tang En's name that makes him feel so humiliated, he doesn't immediately scream to kill him, but instead thinks calmly and asks for ideas, which is a gratifying progress.

It should be no problem. Haita explained, In fact, it was not us who found them. It was about ten days ago. They took the initiative to contact us. Well, the head of the agency called Bunir.

After a pause, he shook his head and said with a smile, Most of the people in the Gray Army are from poor backgrounds and live a hard life. To put it bluntly, poverty is the biggest reason why they dare to take up arms to resist. Because of poverty, they have nothing to lose and nothing to lose. Feared. And because of poverty, they are eager to change the status quo. Even if they give their lives for it, they will not hesitate to do so. But when they are poor, they see how prosperous the world is, and after staying in this prosperous world for a while, they know how to enjoy themselves. , this greatest reliance will no longer be firm...

Speaking in human terms... Phillip interrupted in a sullen voice while biting his tea cup.

Haita smiled nonchalantly and raised his finger: If he succeeds, he will get a new identity and a huge amount of wealth that will allow him to enjoy a prosperous life for several generations.

Putting down the tea cup, Phillip curled his lips: Idiot, why don't you know how to get another title? That guy is not so cheap.

Haha, just the opposite. He is much smarter. Although aristocratic status can bring glory to the family name, it is too eye-catching and can easily be targeted. In this case, this generation will basically be over before the next few generations can enjoy the shadow. ”

Phillip chuckled sarcastically and opened his mouth to say something more. Wooding turned to look at Haita and asked, How is the situation on the front line these days?

The topic changed suddenly, and Haita shook his head, but answered naturally: Not very good. A few days ago, Wang Ting received a series of good news, saying that the three frontline legions had repelled several waves of barbarian attacks. But this can only fool those old fools. They didn’t know that the place where they repelled the barbarian attack was at the second line of defense at the border of the empire... I remember that it took about a month and a half for the barbarians to advance there last year. But this time, it didn’t even take half a month. Used...

Why? Wooding frowned.

Some of the reasons are because the checkpoint fortifications that were just broken last year have not been completely repaired, and the resistance effect is greatly reduced. But this is not the main reason... Thinking of something, Haita also frowned slightly, a little confused, I went there in the morning When I went to the military headquarters, I happened to meet them summarizing the recent war. The final conclusion was that the overall strategy of the Northern Wilderness tribe this time was... strange! Very weird!

After a pause, without waiting for Woodin to ask, he continued, The one who has commanded the barbarian army in the battles with Bran over the years was the old commander of the tribe, Angelos, but he died in the hands of Zi Yi last year. So for this new We don’t know much about the barbarian commander who took office, and we don’t know his personality, his usual tactical style, etc. He is completely unfamiliar.”

Ridiculous! Don't you know how to fight if you don't know the opponent's coach? Hearing this, a look of sullenness flashed across Wooding's face.

Of course it's not just that. Haita said with a wry smile, In fact, the tactics used by the opponent this time are very similar to those used by Angelos in the past. This should be intentional. After all, the changes are too big, and the barbarian army will not adapt. . But apart from that, there are also some different changes. Well, how should I put it... Today's barbarian army has become more like a regular army...

Philip interjected inexplicably and asked: What do you mean by this? The army is not like the army, what else can it be like?

Shaking his head, Listen to me... We all know that the terror of the barbarian army lies in their individual combat capabilities, one to block three, or even one to block five. As for tactical implementation, army formation, etc., it is almost zero. . To put it bluntly, you know how to fight, but you don’t know how to fight smartly. Even if the superior officers see some great fighters and issue orders, but if they fall on the barbarian army who implement them below, problems will often occur. If among them There are other changes, and we don’t know how to deal with them, which will delay the opportunity for fighting. Well, this is one of the reasons why we have been able to fight on par with the barbarians in recent years.

But it's different now. Although the barbarian army raging on the front line still relies on their strong physique to fight, it has more tactical tricks. Take the recently breached Xiongguan City as an example. Although Ziyi has Later, many troubles occurred within the legion, but the combat effectiveness of the Zichen Legion still ranked first among all legions. However, such an iron army was easily defeated by an equal number of barbarian armies and defeated the outer satellite city. Under Xiongguan City, even the city was lost overnight... It was not until the military department integrated all wartime intelligence and restored the battle at that time that it was discovered that this was an extremely standard attack and attack. Note that this standard refers to our army's Tactical standards. But now it appears on the barbarian army, and it is even more detailed...

As if he had discovered something extremely terrifying, Haita's tone was a little dry. Somewhat tight. The resulting sound was a bit weird and sharp. Taking a deep breath, I asked people in the military department, and they gave a guess. If you want the barbarian army to fight according to such standards, you must take into account all the minute details, and then make predictions, deductions, decisions... and finally issue a There are hundreds of orders, so that every organized barbarian army has military orders to follow and rules to follow. But this is almost impossible...

Shake his head. Shaking his head again as if to convince himself, Haita then spread his hands and said, However, one thing can be confirmed. That is that the Northern Wilderness Tribe has once again produced a great commander!

After he finished speaking, it seemed that he was infected by Haita's nervousness, and there was some silence in the room. For a moment, Woodin looked gloomy and said: Beihuang has a great commander, but Bran has lost a military god forever. This battle...it's hard to say...

Seeing that his grandfather was not in a high mood, Philip quickly comforted him: These are just senior brother's speculations. The calculations are not accurate, so don't think too much about it, grandfather. Moreover, the battlefield is changing rapidly. Life or death is not a matter of time, and an outstanding general who dies before he leaves the battle is unaware of it. Fan Ji, it’s hard to say.”

Yes, master, what Philip said makes sense. Knowing that Master Sword God was in poor health recently, Haita felt a little regretful after speaking, and echoed the advice, And even if the barbarian commander is really so powerful, he is just It’s just one person, but we have so many excellent generals in Bran, can’t we suppress him?”

Wu Ding shook his head slightly when he heard this and murmured in a low voice: A person...Zi Yi is also a person, but he has suppressed the Northern Wilderness tribe for decades and cannot lift its head...

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Haita and Phillip suddenly became anxious. Just as they were about to say something more, Wen Silin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and squinted his eyes, flashing a few cold lights, and looked out the window: This carriage with a black shed is already on the street. It went up three times.

Huh? One sentence instantly drew the attention of several people.

To avoid alerting the enemy, there were only four people here, or Wooding was the only one involved in this operation. What they were afraid of was that Tang En would see the flaw. For this reason, they did not even light the oil lamp while drinking tea. It was precisely because of this that the few people who were not professional followers did not notice anything unusual. In the end, Wen Silin, who was silent, suddenly made a surprising statement.

Haita and Phillip were both stunned when they heard this. They looked out the window subconsciously and saw a somewhat familiar black carriage slowly passing by them... They all turned their heads and looked at Wooding.

Wooding turned his eyes away, immediately regained his composure, pondered for a moment, and said, Wait a minute...Xiao Tang is very good at disguise and hiding, and his attainments in this area have reached the pinnacle. If I don't confirm it with my own eyes, I won't be able to do much. grasp.

Uh... so powerful? Philip was stunned. Wen Silin seemed to have discovered something, and narrowed his eyes again, The speed of the car has slowed down.

The speed of the black carriage was indeed gradually slowing down, as if it was about to stop at the roadside. And not far from the front of the carriage, it was the clothing store that was still open for business!

Either they tensed their bodies, or they gradually leaned down, or they held the tea cup and hovered in the air... Several people had different reactions, but their eyes were all on the black carriage, and the room fell into silence.

Finally, the black carriage stopped at the door of the clothing store. After a pause, the coachman knocked on the wall of the carriage and shouted something. A figure lifted the curtain, rubbed his eyes, scratched his head, and walked out of the carriage slightly confused, then looked around as if to confirm the place.

There are not many people on the street, but the signboards of various shops on both sides of the road are bright. Although the place is not illuminated as bright as day, it is not a problem to roughly see people's faces.

A popular face, a featureless popular face!

Fuck you! Philip exclaimed, his face filled with disbelief and shock. Of course he recognizes this face. Who is Tang En? This, this, this... doesn't make sense!

Really here? Not to mention Phillip, even Haita looked incredulous. It can be said that although this plan was planned by him, it was indeed crude enough. Judging from his past impressions of Tang En, he really had no confidence that he could make this trap master fall into this simple trap. The idea I had was just to give it a try, and there would be no loss if it failed, but now it actually succeeded! Could it be that this is the so-called principle of simplicity?

Haita's thoughts were confused, and Philip's shocked mind went blank... Only Wen Silin, the moment he saw Tang En's face clearly, crushed the tea cup in his hand with a bang and stood up suddenly.

In the field, only Wooding looked as calm as water. Looking at Wen Silin, who was clenching his fists and trembling slightly, he sighed secretly and shook his head slightly, seeming a little disappointed. Then he turned his eyes and looked at Tang En who was walking into the clothing store, and slowly stood up.

Walk.

Uh... yes! Let's go! Hearing this, Haita came to his senses instantly, turned his hands over, and immediately handed an ancient long sword to Wooding.

The God of Swords is, of course, named after his sword, and this ancient long sword is Wooding’s famous weapon. Although he didn't have much hope before, Haita still brought the sword down just in case. After all, he had to deal with a pervert who could challenge five air-level experts. Even if he was as strong as a sword god, he didn't dare to put too much pressure on him.

However, Wooding did not take the sword. Instead, he glanced at Wen Silin, who had a complicated expression on his side, and said calmly: I mean, go back to the mountain.
