Chapter 746: Catching a Turtle in a Jar

"Buren Lou Qing-level and Blue-level assassins?" Shi Xiaoxiu blurted out, her voice trembling, and her horror was palpable.

Not only her, but also Shi Xiaodang, Housekeeper Zhou and the elder in the outdoor scene had the same reaction. Ling Yue held the bamboo stick across his chest and looked around. Although he had no fear, his extremely vigilant state also explained something.

It is rumored that the headquarters of Burenlou is in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the frequency of high-level assassins' activities is significantly higher than that of the Jin Dynasty. Ling Yue, Shi Xiaoxiu and others have a deep understanding of assassins of all levels. Dare to provoke.

More than 90% of the assassinations were successful; if the same task failed more than three times, they would give up and refund the reward; normally there would be no retaliation; the headquarters disappeared without a trace... Every bit of the Buren Building echoed in their minds, outlining a cold and tyrannical character. , a sect of assassins who have no emotions and are rational to the point of perversion.

Because of this, Buren Tower can be passed down for thousands of years, coldly watching the rise and fall of arrogant killer organizations.

As for the classification of assassins in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, they are also clear about it. They are not divided according to their own realm, but based on what level of objects they can kill. Red-level refers to assassins who can kill half-step outsiders. Orange-level and The yellow rank can kill the weak and the strong among the first-class masters. The green and green ranks are similar, corresponding to the strength and weakness of the top masters.

As for the Grandmaster, who is not the best, who has not mastered some unique killing moves, except for a few monsters that cannot be regarded by common sense, they cannot be underestimated, and no matter how deep the knowledge of Bu Renlou is, there are only a handful of assassins who can kill the Grandmaster. It can be counted, and there is really no need to divide it into two levels, so it has to be the blue level.

There are at most two purple-level assassins in each generation. They are usually the masters of Buren Tower, who can kill half-step Dharma Body. After that, there are only three heaven-level assassins from Buren Tower in thousands of years!

At this moment, how could Shi Xiaoxiu and others remain indifferent when they heard the green-level assassins who could kill almost all the top masters or the blue-level assassins who could intimidate the masters were peeping from the side? They all focused on this aspect and almost ignored the second half of Meng Qi's sentence.

"Are there any clues that haven't been erased?" Ling Yue, the "Crazy Beggar", was the first to react.

"In Burenlou's style, he succeeded with one blow and immediately escaped without leaving any time for an accident to occur. At this time, he was still snooping nearby. It means that although the person was killed, the mission was not completed and the important information clues were not available. Completely cut it off." Meng Qi said, with a "Heaven's Injury" in his hand, hanging sideways, with a calm air and a hint of swordsman's bravery.

Seeing that Meng Qi was not afraid or overreacted, Shi Xiaoxiu and others were infected by it, and the tight strings in their hearts quietly relaxed a little. "Crazy Sword" Su Meng was indeed not a wasted reputation, not only could he detect The prying eyes of green-level or even blue-level assassins can reach the level of a grandmaster, and they are calm and composed, ignoring such terrifying assassins.

No wonder everyone says he can expect to be number one on the list in the future!

Meng Qi's Heavenly Injury was already at the highest level, and his sense of peeping was a little stronger than the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills. Therefore, his spirit was partly attached to the long sword, using the knife as eyes and ears, and partly to re-evaluate Shi Tianqi's death. on site.

"Were the dead trees around us caused by the Lord of the Stone Castle?" He asked seemingly casually.

"Yes, it's my father's 'writing seal'." Shi Xiaodang was not too old, but he knew his father's martial arts very well.

Meng Qi nodded slightly: "Judging from the wounds, there was only one assassin, and the two bodies were very close to each other, with no trace of movement. If your father was assassinated first, the Golden Account spy would definitely try to escape, or at least keep a certain distance, so , the situation at that time should have been the Golden Account spies who were dealt with first. After my father found out, he tried to help, but the assassin came around behind him and stabbed the Jade Pillow point with his sword. "

"This is normal. The lone wolf carries important information and is the main target of the assassin." Butler Zhou said with a slight frown.

"This is wrong." Ling Yue understood what Meng Qi meant, "Would a green-level or blue-level assassin take it for granted that killing Lone Wolf and Old Shi would erase all the clues? Certainly not, unless he had already determined The lone wolf left no clues elsewhere and had no other companions hiding. If he could confirm this, it meant that he knew the whereabouts of the lone wolf. In this case, why not silence him early and involve Old Shi? ?”

Meng Qi added: "So, the situation at that time should be that the assassin took action against the lone wolf first, trying to seal the soul with the sword, take down the survivor, and then get rid of the Lord of the Stone Castle. Unfortunately, when the lone wolf discovered the assassin... There is no time to defend, but it can trigger self-destruction preparations and turn into ashes from the inside out. This creates an opportunity for the Lord of the Stone Castle to take action. Precisely because of the lone wolf's self-destruction action, the assassin can obviously judge that he has a back-up plan, so the attack is successful. Then he quietly retreated to the nearby area to spy on the visitor. "

"But we let him down and we don't know anything." Shi Xiaoxiu smiled wryly at himself.

No wonder the Burenlou assassin didn’t kill himself to silence a few others!

Ling Yue was still vigilant about his surroundings: "What kind of clues will the lone wolf leave behind, and how should I look for them?"

"He knew that this trip was dangerous, but he still insisted on going south. The importance of intelligence can be seen. Why didn't he lurk in the dark and publicize it after entering the Zhou Dynasty? Once the intelligence was widely known, his danger would be greatly reduced. At most, he would be killed in the face of retaliation. Not silenced." Meng Qi first raised a question of his own.

Ling Yue shook his head and said: "No, there are a lot of rumors coming from the grassland every year, about Guldo breaking through to the Earth Immortal, and further awakening the Tianchu Ax, and about to go south to conquer the Zhou Dynasty, or about Guldo going crazy. , was killed by the people around him, and the grassland was in chaos, it was a good opportunity to attack. Why did the Ge family, Xiahou family, Shangguan family, and Cao family secretly collude with the Golden Account to try to change the pattern of the surrounding area? At the beginning, everyone would be cautious and scrutinize it, but now , as long as you don’t trust the news coming from the road, it will be treated as a joke.”

"And with the nickname of 'Lone Wolf' added to the information, the speed of reaching Shijiabao who knew about it was not as fast as him escaping here."

Meng Qi looked at Butler Zhou: "Does the lone wolf have any relatives?"

"I have a wife and children, but I don't know if I took them south with me." Butler Zhou answered in detail.

"Perhaps the lone wolf left his wife and son elsewhere, and passed on the news as long as they didn't meet for more than a few days. Or maybe the lone wolf entrusted the information to a random person in advance. There are so many possibilities that it is really difficult to find, unless the other party takes the initiative to jump in. Come out." Meng Qi muttered, "Why don't we go back to Shijiabao first so that the body of Lord Shijiabao can be put to rest."

Ling Yue sensed that no other clues were found nearby, so he picked up Butler Zhou and the group returned to Shijiabao.

As soon as they entered Shijiabao, Meng Qi suggested: "If there are green-level or blue-level assassins peeking, it would be better to activate the forbidden method."

Shi Xiaoxiu and others were eager for this and immediately headed to the castle center.

After a while, several people met again in Shi Tianqi's study.

Meng Qi stood by the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the layers of glow outside, as if admiring the scenery. Shi Xiaoxiu, Housekeeper Zhou and others looked at each other in confusion, wondering what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Meng Qi turned around, walked towards Butler Zhou, and asked for advice: "Besides the three of you, who else knows about the relationship between Lone Wolf and Lord Stone?"

"How could it be possible for others to know?" Butler Zhou shook his head and said, "Even the tribal leader who sent Lone Wolf to the Golden Tent didn't know. He went through many twists and turns, and some clues have been cut off, making it impossible to find out."

"The castle owner is cautious and strict and will not make mistakes on such important matters."

Shi Xiaoxiu and Ling Yue both nodded slightly in agreement, which was in line with their consistent understanding of Shi Tianqi.

Meng Qi nodded slowly: "The lone wolf went south, knowing the degree of danger he was in. His whereabouts must be secret and not discovered by the green-level assassins or blue-level assassins. Otherwise, he would have been silenced long ago, and there would be no time to prepare, and the matter would be wiped out quietly. "

"Yes, if the Burenlou assassins had discovered Lone Wolf in advance, there would be no need to involve Mr. Shi." Ling Yue felt sad and angry. He had a violent temper and was not good at thinking. He just felt that Meng Qi's repeated remarks could be solved with a little thought. What is the meaning of the process of understanding?

Meng Qi sighed: "In other words, the Burenlou assassin can't actually find the lone wolf, so why can he ambush in Luohun Stream?"

The same meaning, but from a different angle, immediately shocked Ling Yue, Shi Xiaodang, Shi Xiaoxiu and others, and vaguely grasped something!

"It is basically certain that the assassin of Burenlou has been following the Lord of Stone Castle, and found Lone Wolf through his meeting with Lone Wolf." Meng Qi took two steps slowly and looked around everyone, "Lone Wolf is a spy. After getting the information, he went south secretly, but if he hadn't Anyone who knows the inside story would think of spying on the Lord of Stone Castle to obtain the whereabouts of the lone wolf?"

His gaze suddenly fell on Butler Zhou's face: "Butler Zhou, you said that no one knows the inside story except the three of you. Why should you teach me this question?"

Butler Zhou's face changed drastically, and he turned pale, his teeth moved slightly, and his eyes were fixed with death. However, wisps of electric light emerged and penetrated into his body, sealing his soul and allowing him to swallow poison. Stopped abruptly.

"Steward Zhou, it's you!" Shi Xiaoxiu and Shi Xiaodang were shocked and angry. They couldn't believe that Steward Zhou, who had been with their father longer than the two of them, would betray them.

At this time, the other elder in the exterior scene was suddenly enlightened, pointed at Guan Zhou’s family and said: "No wonder you sent your son to Changle for a study tour a few days ago!"

"You even asked Aunt Zhou to accompany you!" Shi Xiaoxiu also understood, her eyes burst out with anger and tears fell, "Steward Zhou, my father has treated you with great kindness, but you betrayed him and harmed him! You actually colluded with the prairie barbarians!"

Ling Yue couldn't help but look at Meng Qi: "Did you already guess that he had a problem?"

"I guessed it when I was in Luohunjian, but there are blue-level assassins nearby. If I point it out, I will definitely be silenced and everyone will be hurt. Now that the forbidden method is activated, I have enough time to torture Butler Zhou." Meng Qi said calmly.

No wonder he proposed to return to the castle! No wonder it is proposed to open the forbidden law! Shi Xiaoxiu and Shi Xiaodang were stunned and shocked. Looking at Meng Qi, they couldn't believe that they were of the same age. It felt like they were facing their seniors and famous martial arts figures!

Moreover, is there a terrifying blue-level assassin from Burenlou lurking outside?

Butler Zhou was deeply shocked. He hesitated and hesitated, as if he wanted to explain something.

At this moment, a dark fire ignited in his body, and Meng Qi was unable to save him, and instantly turned into ashes!

It was very similar to the Six Paths method... Meng Qi frowned.

I have something to do at home and I need to go back. This chapter was written on the way, so I have to ask for leave for the afternoon chapter. I will make up for it in a few days. Hai Han Han Han.
