In order to avoid alerting the enemy, other than a few people who went out to monitor, Qin Shuang and the rest did not leave the Square Inn.
A day passed.
At dawn the next day, an old man dressed as a fortune-teller took the initiative to look for Qin Shuang.
" Greetings, Young Master Shuang."
"Ghost shadow? May I know who you are?"
"Hehe, Young Master Shuang might not know this, but we are mainly responsible for gathering information. Firstly, we are nameless in the guild, and secondly, our whereabouts are unpredictable, so not many people know about us.”
Actually, when the person took the initiative to greet her, Qin Shuang had already realized his true identity."The oldest of the Twelve Assassins of Heavenly Lake, known as the 'Phantom' who comes and goes without a trace, and is proficient in the Japanese ninja's assassination technique.”
Although Phantom looked kind, he was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. He was definitely a ruthless character who killed without blinking.
Before Xiong Ba, the Northern Region was dominated by the Heavenly Lake. Among them, the 108 Assassins of the Heavenly Lake were famous in the Pugilistic World.
Because Sword Saint Dugu Jian personally went out to exterminate them, Xiong Ba took the opportunity to rise up and secretly recruited the twelve most powerful assassins for his own use.
Xiong Ba was careless because not only did the Twelve Assassins of Heavenly Lake not pledge their loyalty to him, but they had been secretly plotting for the position of the leader of the World Association.
Of course, as long as Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun didn't betray Xiong Ba, the Twelve Assassins of Heavenly Lake wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Based on this consideration, Qin Shuang did not have to worry about whether they were loyal to her or not.
"Phantom, how many men has Zhi Tanhua mobilized?”
"Young Master Shuang, the hundred elites are all experienced.”
"Hmm? Very good, after we exterminate Chu Xiong and the rest, Qin Shuang will definitely personally ask Master for credit.”
"Young Master Shuang, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not.”
"Haha, Mister Ghastly Shadow, there's no need to be so polite.”
"Reporting to Young Master Shuang, no matter what, Chu Xiong is the City Lord personally sent and appointed by the Sect Master.”
Although Phantom didn't finish his sentence, Qin Shuang naturally understood what he meant.
Phantom's meaning was nothing more than to remind Qin Shuang,""We can't kill Chu Xiong. Otherwise, when Xiong Ba blames us, they won't be able to escape punishment.”
Qin Shuang had already thought about this.
"Phantom, my plan for this operation is to capture Chu Xiong alive and take the opportunity to eliminate the Japanese ninjas hiding in the City Lord's Mansion. In addition, when you annihilate the Japanese ninjas, you must leave one or two alive. Once the matter is over, you will be handed over to Master for punishment.”
Hearing Qin Shuang's confident words, Gui Ying smiled knowingly.
Evidently, Qin Shuang's decision was also what Phantom was thinking.
After confirming the plan, Qin Shuang discussed the details with Phantom.
Fifteen minutes later, Phantom bade farewell and left.
……
With the arrival of Phantom washi Tanhua, and the others, Qin Shuang's originally passive situation suddenly became clear, and she took the initiative in one fell swoop.
Before leaving the World Association, Xiong Ba warned Qin Shuang of two principles, the first of which was: "All is fair in war."
Xiong Ba's so-called 'all is fair in war' referred to: "To achieve your goal by hook or by crook."
But in Qin Shuang's eyes, all is fair in war was: "Knowing how to use people well, rewarding them clearly, and winning by surprise, etc.”
At noon that day.
An attendant that Xue Antian had sent out to monitor the City Lord's Estate had returned to the Square Inn.
"Reporting to Young Master Shuang, Chu Peng left the city lord's mansion with a few servants. He's currently drinking in a brothel in the middle city.”
As soon as the attendant finished speaking, Qin Shuang opened her mouth and instructed,"Xue Antian, immediately inform Zhi Tanhua to take action. In addition, personally lead your men and capture Chu Peng alive. Remember, it's to capture him alive. This guy almost killed me. If I don't take revenge, the anger in my heart won't dissipate.”
"Yes, this subordinate will do it immediately."
Soon, Xue Antian led a group of people and quietly left the Square Inn.
At the same time, Zhi Tanhua and the rest swaggered outside Liang City.
Zhi Tanhua and the others did not enter the city immediately. Instead, they ordered the city guards to ride to the City Lord's Mansion to report.
In the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Xiong was holding a flirtatiously dressed woman and talking and laughing.
"Beauty, don't move. Let me kiss you…"
"Yes, yes, it's still daytime…"
"So what if it's daytime? This is my territory. Without my permission, who would dare to take a step inside?”
"En, the City Lord is so domineering. I like the City Lord's domineering aura. Sigh, City Lord, when I went to see my brother yesterday, I happened to hear my brother say that the young city lord always treated them as servants. Although my brother was wholeheartedly obedient, his subordinates came back and reported that these things were mostly trivial matters when the young city lord was fighting with others outside.'”
"Hmm? Was there really such a thing? "Hmph, Peng-er is really unreasonable. This old man clearly told him to shut himself in and reflect on his mistakes, but not only did he not repent at all, but he also made mistakes again and again. He's really an idiot that can't be helped up…"
Before Chu Xiong could finish complaining, his butler had already rushed to the entrance of the living room.
"City Lord…"
"What is it?"
"City Lord, according to the city guard's report, Young Master Qin Shuang has arrived in Liang City. Let the City Lord personally go out of the city to welcome him…"
"What is it? You want me to personally go out of the city to welcome you? Ahhh! 'Hateful, really hateful. Just let a little wimp come, and he actually dares to show off his might in front of this city lord. He really infuriates this old man!'”
As he spoke, Chu Xiong, who was filled with anger, raised his hand and slashed at the chair with his palm blade.
"Kacha…"
The armrest of the chair fell to the ground.
At the same time, it also proved that Chu Xiong's spiritual cultivation was not weak.
"City Lord, please calm down…"
"City Lord, why are you angry with a little brat? In my opinion, no matter what, Qin Shuang is Xiong Ba's legitimate eldest disciple. If the City Lord were to take issue with him, he might inevitably gossip in front of Xiong Ba in the future. At that time, it would not be good to ruin the City Lord's plans.”
Hearing his beloved concubine's words, Chu Xiong regained some clarity.
After a while, Chu Xiong got up and strode out. He did not forget to instruct,""Prepare the horses immediately. Don't bring any men. This old man will leave the city alone. Let's see how Qin Shuang will show off in front of this old man.”
From the information that Xue Antian and the others had mentioned, Qin Shuang said with certainty,""Chu Xiong has a certain level of martial arts cultivation and ability, but his personality is extremely headstrong.”
It was precisely because of this that Qin Shuang had asked Zhi Tanhua to find an excuse to lure Chu Xiong out of the city and then seize the opportunity to capture him alive.
