Gloomy, eerie, sombre.
This dark little house had all the depressing atmosphere of a depressing house.
And in the little dark house sat a dark, dark man.
The blackness was not metaphorical, but real. This man was clad in a black cloak, with a hood, and all the skin he showed was wrapped in black cloth, and all he showed was a pair of black eyes.
“You don’t look like a constable now, but rather like a C*ckroach rat hiding in the gutter.” With a sigh, Lu Qifeng, dressed in a white Confucian suit, stepped into the dark room.
The pure white Confucian uniform was a stark contrast to the black environment, and also made the darkness feel incomparably harsh.
“I am now, even worse than a C*ckroach rat in the gutter. At least C*ckroach rats, have the least freedom.”
There was an incomparable amount of resentment hidden in the flat voice. This, the man in black was not making a cover-up, and Lu Qifeng could hear it.
“I know you are still resentful of me. But the news I have brought today might be able to reduce your resentment a little.”
Lu Qifeng walked up to the man in black with a flourish and said, “You know what? One of Northern Zhou’s overseeing princes – the Grand Prince Feng Guan Yu – was stabbed last night, and the murderer is at large and no one knows about it.”
“Hmph, do you still need to think? Feng Guan Yu was a*sa*sinated, the sixth prince, Feng Chaonan, benefits the most, I can hear about this sixth prince’s ambition within Tianjing City, he is removing the blocking stones to ascend to the position of the overseeing prince.”
Although he did not know what Lu Qifeng was selling, the man in black still spoke back in a cold voice.
Of the Four Great Divine Constables, except for the Flawless Divine Constable who had been sitting at Department Six’s headquarters in Tianjing, the other three, the Bloodhand Divine Constable was more like an executioner, the Wind Chasing Divine Constable was the best at stealing information, and when it really came to case handling skills, it was he, the Flawless Divine Constable, who was the most skilled.
”Although, this ability to handle cases is the most useless.” Meng Wu Chang thought bitterly.
”The imperial family of the Northern Zhou also thinks so, but there is no evidence. Therefore, at today’s Northern Zhou dynasty meeting, the matter of Feng Chaonan’s ascension to the position of overseeing the imperial prince was rejected by the eldest princess Feng Mingxiao in one word. However, with one of the three shortages, Feng Chaonan will not give up, and there will be others pushing the envelope all the time.” Lu Qifeng said.
In his words, he revealed a practical grasp of the Northern Zhou dynasty. Lu Qifeng was ten thousand miles away, yet he was able to know the exact details of the Divine Capital Pilgrimage at noon, so he had to praise the divine power of Department Six’s intelligence network.
“If you are here to talk to me about the feud between the Northern Zhou princes, there is no need to talk.” Meng Wu Chang interrupted bluntly.
At these words, Lu Qifeng was not annoyed, only hearing him sigh, “After being wounded, your mind is not as calm as before.”
“Naturally I am not here to talk to you about this,” Lu Qifeng said, shaking his head, “The story of Feng Guan Yu’s backstabbing is not yet known to the world, but it is not far off. But the world will never know that before Feng Guan Yu died, he had quietly left a clue about the a*sa*sin in a hidden place.”
“You mean ——” Meng Wu Chang raised his head expansively and stared straight into Lu Qifeng’s eyes.
His intuition told him that the a*sa*sin must be the one he hated to the core.
“That’s right, it’s exactly the person you’re thinking of,” Lu Qifeng looked straight into those eyes filled with the fire of hatred and said word by word, “Feng Guangyu left behind three words, and those three words are none other than Gong, Zi, Yu.”
As if relieved, Lu Qifeng said with a long sigh, “I have seen that man grow up all the way. I don’t know that person very well, but I know that he is an extremely ambitious person.”
“Feng Chaonan must have thought that he was using him, but I know that it was Feng Chaonan who was ultimately used. With that man’s bold nature, it is very likely that Feng Chaonan will become his puppet. After all, he is good at secret techniques such as brainwashing and face-changing, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Feng Chaonan changed into someone else.”
“If Feng Chaonan were to gain power and take control of the Northern Zhou dynasty, then Wusheng, you should be clear about the consequences, right?”
What the consequences would be, Meng Wu Chang naturally thought about them clearly.
No hope of revenge was almost certain. The other party was still the Shadow King’s man, and if the Northern Zhou were to be controlled, in echo with the Shadow King who was so powerful in the Great Qian, that would be very bad for the current Saint.
“So,” Lu Qifeng continued, “Wu Chang, I want you to go to the Northern Zhou and kill him.”
These words, which Lu Qifeng actually said very plainly, fell on Meng Wusheng’s ears like a bolt from the blue, “Kill him?”
Meng Wu Chang’s depressed aura was swept away, and his unconcealed murderous aura raged in this small room.
“Yes, go and kill him. Even if we don’t kill him, we must kill Feng Chaonan and cut off the other side’s way of controlling Northern Zhou.” Lu Qifeng confirmed.
“However, I have to make it clear to you,” Lu Qifeng added, “this move, can only succeed, it cannot fail. If it fails, it won’t be the Uncanny Divine Constable of Department Six who dies.”
This was very clear: if Meng Wusheng failed and died, then Department Six would not recognise his identity.
From the sound of it, this was actually quite funny, even though Meng Wusheng had not followed the right path when he first advanced to the True Dan realm, and his strength was much lower than a normal True Dan realm martial artist, he was still not something that a Divine Element realm could compare to.
What’s more, Meng Wu Chang’s title is Changeless Divine Constable, and his methods of dealing with the enemy are unpredictable, so he is also very good at a*sa*sination. A True Dan Realm martial artist had gone to a*sa*sinate a Divine Origin Realm martial artist and was still considering failure?
This had to be said to be a rather funny joke.
However, Meng Wusheng did not think it was a joke, after all, he had lost his left hand last time without even seeing his opponent’s face, and if such a painful experience did not make Meng Wusheng raise a million alarm, then he might as well have died in the last Cloud Peak explosion.
“Even if I have to die, I will drag him with me.”
Meng Wusheng steeply clenched his fist, a sound like the clanging of gold and iron between his fingers and palms, “Lian Jin’s revenge, and one of my hands, will require him to pay the price.”
Meng Wusheng stood up, his posture was straight and determined in a way that it had never been before. It had been a long time since he had been seriously injured and brought back from Northern Zhou by Lu Qifeng, and he had not straightened his back.
Head held high, striding.
Meng Wusheng strode out of the small room that had been locked for so long without looking back.
Behind him, Lu Qifeng took out a small bottle and said, “This is the ten-thousand-year clockwork stone condensation that was handed to you last time, you refused it last time, this time, just wait until you return from your success and use it to restore your appearance.”
Last time, Meng Wusheng was blown up by a huge amount of gunpowder explosion and his body was scorched black, which was why he had been wrapped in cloth. Without the restoration of the stalactite condensation, it would have taken a breakthrough to the Tong Shen realm to restore his original appearance.
At these words, Meng Wu Chang’s body stalled, paused for a moment, and said, “Good.”
