Chapter 78: To accept or not to accept?
Jiang Heng’s eyelids drooped, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"I accept!"
He is not a morally obsessive person. Killing a person who does not know whether he is good or bad does not put much psychological pressure on him.
The only thing he has concerns about is the power represented by the other party.
But considering the favors Baihaocang had given him in the past, even if he took this task as a return favor, he had no reason to refuse.
Bai Haocang looked indifferent and said softly:
“Yu Gaohan, with the tenth level of Xiantian Realm cultivation, it is not difficult for you.”
"If there are no problems, you can set off tomorrow. I will arrange for someone to pick you up at an inn in the central city of Fenghe District. The code is 'I want to see the light'."
Jiang Heng nodded, stood up and left the hall.
The next morning.
Jiang Heng took a long sword and quietly left the sect.
In a city not far from the sect, I bought a set of extremely ordinary martial arts short-fight uniforms, a green-maned horse and a map, and headed towards the Twin Towers City, the central city in the Fenghe River Region.
The task of killing imperial officials should naturally not be made public, but the identity should be hidden as much as possible.
So, after Jiang Heng was some distance away from the city, he changed into his short fighting uniform, and then continued to gallop on his horse.
In fact, based on his physical cultivation, the speed and endurance of his movements have already exceeded those of the green-maned horse by countless times. If he were not worried about attracting attention and using his movements along the way, he would be able to reach a thousand miles away in two or three hours at most. city of twin towers.
But riding a green-maned horse, he kept traveling day and night, even changing horses midway, and finally arrived outside the Twin Towers at noon the next day.
As the central city of the huge Fenghe River Basin, the Twin Towers City is extremely majestic. From a distance, it looks like a terrifying beast lying quietly in the wilderness.
Countless pedestrians entering the city spread out from the four gates of the Twin Towers City into the distance, like countless busy ants.
Jiang Heng walked into the city along with the long line of pedestrians.
What comes into view is a lively and prosperous scene of the prosperous times.
On a road that is wide enough for eight carriages to travel abreast.
In the middle is a convoy loaded with goods, with pedestrians on both sides. There are also traders and foot soldiers passing between them, and there are countless strong warriors with swords and weapons on their waists.
Jiang Heng had abandoned his horse outside the city, and now he was walking leisurely among the crowd with a long sword on his waist.
At this time, a young man in shabby clothes walked up not far from him, looked at him longingly, and said:
"Young master, do you need someone to guide you? I only need 50 copper coins."
Jiang Heng glanced at him.
This young man was wearing gray burlap clothes with several patches all over his body. The cloth shoes under his feet were even worn and worn, revealing restless thumbs.
Facing Jiang Heng’s eyes, the young man lowered his head uncomfortably, but did not leave. Instead, he waited for Jiang Heng’s reply. Obviously, he needed such a job.
“Take me to an inn, your money is indispensable.”
Jiang Heng said calmly.
“Yes! Master, please come with me!”
The young man suddenly smiled, bowed and led Jiang Heng in a certain direction.
Along the way.
The young man took the initiative to introduce Jiang Heng to the various scenic spots he saw along the way, including the origin of the name Twin Towers City and some of the more famous places in the city.
About half an hour later.
The two of them stopped in front of a lively inn.
“Sir, this is it!”
“Okay, thank you very much!”
Jiang Heng nodded and handed over a tael of silver.
The young man waved his hand quickly: "Sir, I don't have that much silver to change. Do you have any copper plates for me?"
“Take it! No change required.”
Jiang Heng directly put the silver into the young man's hand, turned around and walked back to the inn.
Behind him, the young man was excited and moved. He suddenly bowed towards Jiang Heng’s back and shouted, “Thank you, Master, for the reward!”
At the entrance of the inn, a waiter was soliciting customers. He saw Jiang Heng’s generous scene and immediately came up to him.
“Sir, please come in. Would you like to go to a hotel or stay in a hotel?”
“Stay in the hotel, arrange a Tianzi guest room for me.”
"okay!"
The waiter turned to him and shouted: "One guest room in Tianzi!"
“Sir, please come this way!”
The waiter led Jiang Heng in with a smile, helped him arrange the room, and then bowed and left.
In the room.
Jiang Heng sat cross-legged, using the [Swallowing Heaven and Creation Skill] at full power.
The invisible energy in the air quickly poured into the body and was absorbed by Jiang Heng. The system's prompts continued to sound, and the potential points continued to grow.
After a few days of observation, Jiang Heng discovered that even if he did not practice, when the [Swallowing Heaven Creation Skill] was passively operating, he could obtain about 100,000 potential points every day.
When it is actively running, it can obtain 500,000 potential points every day.
Compared to swallowing the Qi and Blood Pill, it is indeed not much, but it is better because it does not require any resources.
It’s evening.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”
The door of the room was suddenly knocked lightly.
Jiang Heng opened the door and saw an ordinary-looking young man wearing burlap clothes standing outside.
He looked at Jiang Heng for a moment and immediately said softly: "I want to see the light."
Jiang Heng nodded: "Come in!"
The young man did not enter the door, but took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it over quietly. After Jiang Heng took it, he immediately turned and left.
Jiang Heng closed the door and returned to the back room to sit down.
Spread the roll paper out.
What is drawn above is the layout of the Territory Lord's Mansion, the patrol routes and guard change times of the guards, as well as the daily movements of Territory Lord Yu Gaohan, and the time and place are all clearly marked.
Furthermore, an evacuation point and evacuation route were marked for Jiang Heng.
Suddenly, Jiang Heng's eyes fell on the corner of the scroll.
"protector?"
His eyes narrowed.
When he was reading a book before, he had seen an introduction about the guardian.
That is because the Holy Land is arranged in some important cities to deter lawless strongmen, especially in the center of a region. The guardians are all top strong men in the Spiritual Sea Realm.
Normally, he doesn't pay attention to mundane matters, but once something happens to the Domain Lord's Mansion, the guardian will appear immediately.
“It seems like you have to be careful, kill quickly, and escape quickly.”
“Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble if you get caught by the guardian!”
After Jiang Heng wrote down all the information on the scroll, he rubbed his hands together, and the scroll immediately turned into dust and fell.
No words all night.
The next day, Jiang Heng checked out and left.
Find the evacuation point marked on the scroll. The young man was waiting for him at the evacuation point last night.
This is an inconspicuous old house, located not far from the city gate, with relatively few people around.
“When are you going to take action?”
The two of them walked into the back room, and the young man asked.
"tonight."
“Well! The sooner the better, so as not to cause trouble.”
The young man nodded and continued: "After killing that man, you immediately follow the evacuation route I drew and come to me."
“Next, there are two evacuation options, you can decide for yourself.”
