"This day has finally arrived."
Xiao Wuji had been looking forward to taking revenge for his father for a long time. He had to participate in this mission no matter what.
He followed Yang Dali to the Hundred Households Office. There were already hundreds of people gathered there.
A middle-aged man was sitting on a chair in front of the main hall, drinking a cup of tea.
When the man drank a tea leaf, he did not spit it out. Instead, he directly bit the tea leaf and swallowed it.
Xiao Wuji, Yang Dali, and the others were the leaders, standing side by side.
Yang Dali reminded him in a low voice," This is the new Centurion, Zhang Ying. Your new subordinate, Little Flag Zhang Hao, is his nephew.”
"I heard that he had been trying to make Zhang Hao the chief flag, but the Thousand Households Lord gave the spot to you.”
"Be careful later. He might target you.”
Xiao Wuji rolled his eyes in his heart.
Could it be targeted?
Wasn't this obvious?
They had already sent someone to assassinate him last night.
Xiao Wuji had good eyesight. The moment he walked into the Centurion House, he noticed that there was a scar on the back of Centurion Zhang Ying's left hand, which was holding a teacup, and there was a jade ring on his thumb.
He had thought that it would take some effort to find the culprit behind the scenes, but he did not expect to find it today.
It could be said that he had worn out his iron shoes and looked for it everywhere. It was easy to get it.
After confirming that the murderer was Zhang Ying, killing intent surged in Xiao Wuji's heart.
However, on the surface, he did not show any change.
This was the Jinyiwei's Discipline Department. No one could kill people here.
Anyone who dared to challenge the authority of the Jinyiwei's Discipline Department, even a martial grandmaster, would be suppressed.
The Brocade Guards could monitor Jianghu and make the heroes of the martial arts world fear them because of their powerful martial arts.
It was obvious that there was more than one martial grandmaster guarding the North Town.
Centurion Zhang Ying's expression did not change when he saw Xiao Wuji arrive. He only glanced at him indifferently before looking away.
It was as if the person who had sent people to assassinate Xiao Wuji last night was not him at all.
"Alright, everyone is here."
Zhang Ying put down his teacup and stood up. He looked at the people in front of him and said,"Liu Meng's whereabouts have been found. Lord Thousand Households wants us to completely eradicate him to prevent the Black Tiger Stockade from reviving.”
"This operation must be foolproof. Something like last time must not happen.”
"Did you hear that clearly?"
"Yes, my lord!"
More than a hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards answered at the same time.
"Alright, let's go!"
Zhang Ying gave the order and set off with more than a hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Xiao Wuji was riding on horseback, one position behind Zhang Ying, followed by four small flags.
Xiao Wuji already recognized these four small flags. They were Zhao Zhe, Zhang Hao, Xue Hua, and Song Limin.
Among the four banners, only Zhao Zhe and Xiao Wuji were close. The other three were not convinced by Xiao Wuji.
Xue Hua and Song Limin were fine. They were just unconvinced and did not have any bad intentions towards Xiao Wuji.
However, Zhang Hao was different. He looked at Xiao Wuji with hatred in his eyes.
It was as if Xiao Wuji had stolen his wife.
Xiao Wuji already understood that Zhang Ying wanted to kill him because of Zhang Hao.
As long as he killed Xiao Wuji, he would be able to promote his nephew Zhang Hao to be the commander.
"Just you wait, Xiao Wuji. You're going to die soon.”
"I told you to take my position as the chief flag officer. That's my position, not yours.”
"How dare you steal my things? You're dead!”
Zhang Hao sat on the horse's back and glared at Xiao Wuji's back, gritting his teeth.
Zhang Hao felt extremely happy when he thought of Xiao Wuji's imminent death and the fact that he could become the Chief Banner.
However, at this moment, Xiao Wuji suddenly turned around and glanced at him.
The moment their eyes met, Zhang Hao felt his heart stop, as if someone had punched him hard. He could barely breathe, and all the hair on his body stood on end.
That pair of eyes was frighteningly cold, like a block of ice without any warmth.
Xiao Wuji looked at him as if he was looking at a corpse.
Zhang Hao had never seen such a terrifying gaze.
It was a gaze that regarded life as grass. Even his uncle Zhang Hao did not have that.
When Zhang Hao came back to his senses, he found that Xiao Wuji had already turned his head.
The scene just now seemed to be an illusion. It had never happened before.
"No, why would that kid have that kind of gaze? He was just a third-rate martial artist.”
"I must have seen wrongly!"
"That's right, that's right. Don't scare yourself.”
Zhang Hao comforted himself in his heart, but he did not dare to stare at Xiao Wuji's back anymore.
Under the lead of Zhang Ying, the group arrived at a small village at the foot of Cang Mountain outside Jin Ling City.
This place was remote and sparsely populated.
There were only about 30 households in the entire village, and the number of villagers was less than 200.
"Stop!"
Centurion Zhang Ying raised his hand, and all the people behind him stopped.
"Team One and Team Two, guard the village entrance. No one is allowed to enter or leave.”
"Anyone who acts suspiciously will be arrested and killed if necessary!”
"Team three and team four, follow me into the village!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Two teams of Embroidered Uniform Guards were left at the village entrance. Xiao Wuji was the commander of the third team and followed Zhang Ying into the village.
When they separated, Yang Dali from Team Two gave Xiao Wuji a look of caution.
Xiao Wuji smiled, signaling Yang Dali to rest assured.
