On the official road, the sound of hoof beats, a group of five hors*men galloped along.
The five hors*men were led by Jiang Beichuan, the general of the Cang Shui Pa*s garrison stationed at the southern border of Northern Zhou to guard against the Great Qian.
Although there had been no war between Northern Zhou and Great Qian for many years, Feng Tianming had always taken Great Qian as his imaginary enemy, so the troops at Canghai Pa*s were all first-cla*s soldiers.
Therefore, the post of General of Cang Shui Pa*s was looked upon.
Just as this Jiang Beichuan was on his way to the divine capital to report on his duties, an attack and killing came quietly.
“Stop!” Jiang Beichuan raised his hand to stop the advance, and his tiger eyes stared coldly into the woods beside the official road.
The deputy general and the three guards around him also pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords, on guard.
After years of experience in the army, although he had not been in battle for several years, Jiang Beichuan was still sensitive to the hidden killing opportunities.
“Friend, since you are here, why don’t you meet openly and honestly?” Jiang Beichuan steeply bellowed, his voice shaking the distance for miles around, highlighting his extraordinary Kung Fu.
“Hahahaha ——”
With the sound of long laughter, an old man with big sleeves and crane-haired face emerged from the woods, carrying a green and jade-like fishing rod, who was none other than Feng Chaonan’s newly recruited ‘South River Fishing Man’ Lin Huai Gou.
After him, another man with a single sword in his arms and dark skin, Ping Er, who had defeated Kuang Yuan, the ninth in the human ranking, appeared.
“It’s you, Lin Huai Gou.” Jiang Beichuan could see this old shameless sixth on the Human Ranking at a glance.
“It is none other than old me.” Lin Huai Gou stood with a smile on his face as he stroked his long beard.
Obviously, Lin Huai Gou felt satisfied that Jiang Beichuan could recognise him at a glance.
However, Jiang Beichuan’s next words spoiled Lin Huai Gou’s good mood.
“You’re being chased by the Demon Prince, so you’re not staying in some mountain nest, and you dare to come and a*sa*sinate me?”
The ridiculing words hit a sore spot in Lin Huai Gou’s heart. If he hadn’t been chased by the Demon Prince, Lin Huai Gou would not have been a lapdog for Feng Chaonan and come to a*sa*sinate an official of the Northern Zhou court.
He was still reluctant to do so, but Jiang Beichuan’s words made him want to kill him.
“Fine, Jiang Beichuan, you dare to insult me like this. Today, I will send you up to the underground to atone for your sins.”
As the murderous spirit was triggered, the fishing line on the jade bamboo fishing rod, as thin as silk, was twisting and winding as if it were a living thing, enveloping Jiang Beichuan.
Although the line was too thin to be seen in the sunlight, Jiang Beichuan could feel the cold sharpness spreading out.
Although his reputation was very infamous to the discerning eye, one could not deny his extraordinary strength.
After all, the People’s List is ultimately a list based on strength. If one does not have that kind of strength, it is difficult to convince the public even if one has a great reputation.
For example, Gong Zi Yu, who was previously ranked tenth on the People’s List, was ridiculed as the most watered-down person in the history of the People’s List due to his many battle achievements that no one knew about. It was only after he had secretly entered the palace in the dead of night and a*sa*sinated the Grand Prince Feng Guan Yu, as well as Bai Guishan, a former member of the People’s List, and Huyan Qian, who was not very famous but was ultimately powerful at the Divine Origin realm, that people were truly convinced of his tenth place on the People’s List.
There were even calls to move Gong Zi Yu’s ranking up a few places.
After all, to enter the imperial palace at night and take the head of the prince, not many of the rest of the human list would dare to do such a crazy thing.
“Retreat!” Jiang Beichuan called out.
The five men leapt up from their horses and hurriedly retreated to the rear.
“Phew…”
The five horses were strangled into dozens of sections by the threads of fish as thin as silk just before they made a sound, which otherwise had no trace of blood, and still strangled away at great speed.
“Junior, you don’t make a move, old man, I want this surname Jiang to see the old man’s greatness.” When Lin Huai Gou struck out, he did not forget to bark at Ping Er.
He would show Jiang Beichuan the wrath of his ‘Southern River Fishing Man’ today.
“With the strength of Lin Huai Gou and that Ping Er who defeated Kuang Yuan, they are strong enough to kill Jiang Bei Chuan’s five men, so why did you have to go out yourself and bring me here with you.”
Deep in the woods by the official road, a cold and pleasant voice echoed.
Yun Wuyue looked at the side of the man wearing a bronze mask beside her, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Through the Yin Devil Sect’s intelligence network, Yun Wuyue knew that Gong Zi Yu seemed to be working with the Sixth Prince at the moment, but it was only a cooperative relationship, so with this man’s heart, he didn’t need to be this attentive and have to come personally to ascertain Jiang Beichuan’s death, right?
What’s more, he had to bring her along with him.
“I also brought you here to let you know that the next target of those dancing girls under you is precisely a military general like Jiang Beichuan, so get ready early.
Since ancient times, the land of beauty is a hero’s grave, even if these military men are like steel, this beauty can scrape them down layer by layer.”
Qing Yu gazed at the scene in the distance and said leisurely, “But the main thing is to let you, the Second Dragon Head, know the stance of the Green Dragon Society, so that you will not make a mistake in your next step.”
“Oh? The position of the Green Dragon Society? Isn’t the current position of the Green Dragon Society on the same side as Feng Chaonan? Are you going to change your stance again?” Yun Wuyue asked.
“It’s not a shift in stance, but we have never stood on Feng Chaonan’s side from the very beginning.”
“Never stood in Feng Chaonan’s position from the very beginning ——”
An invisible chill emanated quietly as Yun Wuyue turned around and stared straight at the bronze mask that seemed to cover everything, “It seems that this Second Dragon Head of mine is really a sham! If it weren’t for the fact that your next move would certainly not be concealed from me, I think you would still have me thinking that the Green Dragon Society was working with Feng Chaonan, right?”
“Power is always tied to duty isn’t it?” Qing Yu still looked at the battle in the distance and said without looking away, “You had promised me that after I took on the demon amba*sador of the Heavenly Demon Palace, then you would also join the Green Dragon Society’s usual work of killing people. But nowadays, for many of the Green Dragon Society’s deals, I, the Great Dragon Head, still have to do it myself.
I sent you secret books to help you train the dance girls of the Yin Demon Sect, but there are only a few times when these dance girls are used in the hands of the Green Dragon Society.
How do you expect me to give you the power you deserve when you are so negligent?”
These words were justified, and made Yun Wuyue feel speechless.
“It seems that after all, I have underestimated the Green Dragon Society.”
Yun Wuyue felt that he had really failed as the Second Dragon Head, and had really thought that the Green Dragon Society was just a simple a*sa*sin organisation. Now, this Great Dragon Head in front of him, his gaze had been gazing at places he hadn’t seen.
“The purpose of the Green Dragon Society, or rather your purpose, intrigues me now.”
“Well, it seems you’ve set your position right. Then it’s our turn to strike next, to kill Lin Huai Gou, and Ping Er ——“
