Chapter 91 Blood Shadow's Plan
As the evening approached and the setting sun was blood-red, Xueying finally regained his ability to move. He exuded an icy aura and stared coldly at the guardians of the Soul-Destroying Sect in front of him.
"I didn't lose the battle!" Blood Shadow gnashed his teeth and said, his voice full of resentment and anger. "It was the Dark Moon Fairy that murdered me!"
His eyes swept over everyone, as if he could see through them. Then, his gaze stopped at Du Zhong, who was standing at the door, covered in horse manure.
"Du Zhong, I will spare you this time. But you have to remember, this is your only chance to make amends!" Xueying's tone was stern and unquestionable.
He paused and continued, "According to reliable information, the Ba Dao Sect in the Jianghu has been secretly colluding with the Rulin Prefecture to smuggle salt on a large scale. You must immediately lead your men to the Ba Dao Sect and eradicate them completely! At the same time, you must bring back the account book without any mistakes!"
After saying this, Xueying waved his arm with a very cool and neat movement. At the same time, his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty, signaling Du Zhong to take action as soon as possible.
Du Zhong secretly complained in his heart, but on the surface he still said with a sad face: "Master! I have a small request, I don't know if I should say it or not... Can I go with Shang Lu? This way I can have someone to take care of me."
Xueying's face was extremely gloomy, as if water could drip out of it. He responded coldly: "Absolutely not! Recently, the master of this sect needs to practice in seclusion to improve his strength. Shang Lu will be fully responsible for all affairs within the sect, and will not have the extra energy to accompany you on missions!"
Seeing this, Du Zhong could only sigh helplessly, and then asked cautiously: "Then... Master, can you send Du Heng to go with me? After all, more people means more strength."
Hearing this, Xueying only glanced at Du Zhong calmly, and did not directly answer his question. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "Du Heng has other important matters to attend to, and he needs to go to various states to collect accounts and payments. So this time you can only lead the team to complete the task alone. If things go wrong, don't blame this sect master for being ruthless and ungrateful, and you don't have to come back at that time! In addition, remember one thing, the secret agents in Rulinzhou must not be exposed, everything depends on your own ability and wisdom!"
Du Zhong curled his lips reluctantly and said, "Master! You know better than anyone that my martial arts level is definitely the worst among them! How can you be so cruel as to watch me die in vain?"
The corners of Xueying's mouth slightly raised, outlining a cold and disdainful sneer: "Humph, since you feel that you are not strong enough, then find a way to solve the problem. I'll tell you a way, as long as you are willing to pay enough silver, you can invite helpers to lend you a hand. The Black Sword Team of the Dark Moon Pavilion is the kind of guys who only care about money and not people. As long as there is money, everything can be negotiated!"
Hearing this, Du Zhong was stunned, with a complex expression of astonishment and speechlessness on his face, and he was speechless for a long time...
Obviously, he did nothing wrong. It was the Sect Master who lost the gold and ruined the family! In the end, he had to bear all the consequences!
After Xueying finished dealing with all the tedious chores in the sect, he immediately followed Xi Ruming back to the quiet and unique courtyard.
Xi Ruming solemnly stretched out his finger and placed it on Xueying's pulse. After carefully checking for a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Young Master! Your body is full of qi and blood, and your pulse is steady and strong. It is obvious that your injuries have been mostly healed! In this case, should we start implementing the plan we have previously formulated?" His eyes flashed with anticipation and excitement, and he seemed to be full of confidence and longing for what to do next.
Xueying carefully took out a few tightly sealed letters from his bosom, and then handed them to Xi Ruming, and said in a low voice: "Don't rush this matter! After all, we have carefully planned and prepared for so long, and now we just need to wait patiently. When they are both injured and the fight is difficult to resolve, it will be the best time for us to take action! Back then, those hateful people caused my family to be destroyed... I am not a gentleman if I don't take revenge. This time, we must not let any of them go easily!"
Xi Ruming took the letter and opened it to read it impatiently. However, as he read on, his expression became more solemn and shocked. In the end, his face even became extremely ugly: "Young... Young Master! In my opinion, it would be better for me to secretly poison them! This way, they can die in extreme pain!"
However, Blood Shadow clenched his fists tightly and retorted with gritted teeth: "No! It would be too easy for these guys to just poison them to death! I must let them watch helplessly as the things they cherish most are slowly taken away, and they can only do nothing and have no power to fight back! You know, killing is just a way to get out of trouble, but if you can successfully destroy their hearts, it will make people happy!"
Xi Ruming nodded in agreement: "Young Master, what you said is absolutely right! In that case, should we mobilize all the hidden spies we have planted?"
After a moment of silence, Xueying responded, "For now, we only need to activate the secret agents in Dazhao Country. As for the secret agents in the other three countries, we will keep them in place for the time being. We must act cautiously and keep a low profile, but our intelligence network can be put into operation first!"
Xi Ruming frowned and asked again with a worried look on his face: "Young Master, should we continue to take over those bounty assassination missions in the martial arts world?" He knew very well that there were often endless risks and conspiracies behind these missions, but at the same time they were also opportunities to obtain high rewards and enhance the prestige of the organization.
After a moment of silence, Xueying replied with a firm look in his eyes: "The affairs of the martial arts world are complicated and treacherous, and the water is too deep. As for the so-called secret flowers, the Dark Moon Pavilion will take them, after all, they like to make money. They have always been good at this, so let them deal with the grudges in the martial arts world! As for us, we must focus on our mission and take the lives of court officials. Of course, if you encounter someone who is extremely evil and full of evil, there is no need to be merciful! Being kind to such people is cruel to the people. But if you encounter an official who still has a trace of conscience and is killed by someone, you must find a way to inform Emperor Wen's secret guards of the mastermind behind the scenes. In this way, not only can you avoid killing good people by mistake, but you may also be able to follow the clues to catch more treacherous people hiding in the dark." When he said this, his voice was cold and resolute, as if there was no room for negotiation.
Xi Ruming sighed and said: "In fact, young master, you don't have to help him! Isn't our purpose..."
Xueying's voice was a little low: "Father! I am helping the people of Dazhao..."
