Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

At night, Meng Zhao followed Su Dinglun and Su Dingyu, wearing black night clothes, carrying weapons, and got on a carriage. The coachman was a man in his thirties who looked quite simple.

No words were exchanged between them, which made Meng Zhao doubt the identity of this man and the role he played in this operation.

Outside, a carriage rumbled along the narrow street. Inside the carriage, three people sat with swords in their arms.

As if seeing Meng Zhao's puzzled expression, Su Dinglun explained,
"Don't worry, Lao Ma is a trustworthy person. His identity is very important. He is from the county government and a familiar face. With him around, no one will check our car, and accidents can be avoided to the greatest extent.

Of course, his share will come from me and A Yu, and your benefits will not be touched, don't worry!"

Meng Zhao nodded without asking any further questions. This old Ma, an official, was doing this kind of no-cost business with Su Dinglun and Su Dingyu. It was either because of greed or because he was forced to do so by the situation.

Everything in life is difficult.

Life is not always smooth sailing. It is common to encounter difficulties. The key is how to overcome them and cross obstacles.

Lao Ma probably encountered some difficulties and was short of money, so he had to collude with Su Dinglun and Su Dingyu.

At the same time, Meng Zhao also understood how to transport those boxes of gold, and this carriage was the best load-carrying tool.

I guess they relied on Lao Ma to get publicity so that a large amount of gold could be transferred out without anyone noticing.

As long as it is not discovered immediately and handled cleanly, there will most likely be no problem.

As for how much benefit Lao Ma could get from this incident, Meng Zhao didn't care, because it was highly likely that he would hardly survive tonight.

Meng Zhao closed his eyes and meditated, constructing a map in his mind. Through his mental arithmetic ability, he memorized everything from the farmhouse near the city gate to the strategies along the way, turning them into a flat map with a bird's-eye view.

In fact, he was still thinking, so much gold must be heavily blocked and protected. Can Su Dinglun and Su Dingyu, two useless guys, really deal with these people?

Unless, the two of them did not use force, but had other preparations.

After a full hour, the carriage finally stopped.

Meng Zhao opened his eyes and was about to get off the car, but he saw Su Dingyu holding a sword in front of him, blocking his movement.
"You wait here first, I'll accompany you. Alan will go deal with some people first. If he succeeds, he will give us a hint!"

Meng Zhao's heart moved. As expected, with the power and strength of the Su family, even if it was used as a transit station to transport the gold, there would still be extremely strict protection and blockade, and it would not be possible to be easily breached.

Unless there is another plan, such as drugging.

In the Water Margin, the Seven Heroes gathered together to steal the birthday gift by clever means. They drugged Yang Zhi, knocked him down, and finally took the birthday gift.

Su Dinglun himself is a member of the Su family, and the people guarding here are probably also members of the Su family. This greatly reduces the defenses of the people inside.

If Su Dinglun had other preparations, such as medicine or something else, to knock down all the guards, then the whole thing would be much simpler.

In other words, seizing the gold was not difficult for the traitors Su Dinglun and Su Dingyu.

First of all, the news of gold being stored in the warehouse is definitely not something that ordinary people can know. I am afraid that not everyone in the Su family knows this. Everyone here is not a servant, but a member of the family.

This is not difficult to guess. The so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, if he follows a good master, even if he is a servant, often lives a more comfortable life and gets more than those unfavored children.

Secondly, you must have the courage to do this, because the possibility of success is very high, and after the matter is exposed, the possibility of your identity being discovered is even greater, so you must bear the consequences and results.

This is not something that everyone can handle. Not only does one need to have a big heart, but one must also be determined to burn one's boats and die if one fails.

With these, the whole thing is actually not that difficult.

The possibility of an insider succeeding is far greater than that of an outsider.

Su Dinglun nodded at the two of them, jumped off the carriage, and disappeared.

Meng Zhao tightened the sword in his arms and said,

"So, what is the purpose of my existence tonight?"

Meng Zhao looked at things from the perspective of a countryman, and even though he was not very smart, he could still sense the weirdness of the whole thing.

Since Su Dinglun and Su Dingyu were sure that they could quietly deal with the guards and take the gold naturally, why did they come to him?
Also, since he has been taught the Phantom Sword Technique, could it be that he is being made to take the blame?
The more Meng Zhao thought about it, the more he felt that there was something else going on here that he didn't know about. It wasn't because he was too stupid, but because he lacked information. Even if he had extraordinary wisdom, it would be difficult for him to figure out the whole story and the truth.

However, he now feels certain that many of what Su Dingyu and Su Dinglun said before were probably lies, not the truth.

Actually, if you think about it, there are some flaws.

Su Dinglun and Su Dingyu were both born as servants of the Su family. Regardless of whether they had the intention to defect or not, it would be very difficult for them to be plotted against, fall into a trap, and owe a huge debt.

The Su family is not an ordinary family, but a powerful family in the county. As long as they are called powerful families, they will often investigate their children and servants and keep them under control.

If there is any disturbance, people will probably notice something unusual.

Take the Meng family in China for example, the environment inside their manor is just like this.

It is easy to find out what a cook in your kitchen does every day, who he meets with, and whether there are any financial abnormalities.

The Su family can't be completely unprepared and allow their servants to be manipulated and infiltrated by others, ultimately turning the Su family into a sieve!
Considering the whole incident, Meng Zhao always felt that he was being schemed against by these two guys.

But it's not just a simple calculation.

He previously thought that these two people wanted to take the blame on him and put the whole thing on his head, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

Su Dingyu was not surprised by Meng Zhao's question and smiled.

“Things have already unfolded, and once you’re on this ship, you can never get off.

It is far better to let nature take its course and listen to us than to seek the root of the problem and explore the truth.

I think you are a smart person and shouldn't ask these questions."

Meng Zhao smiled coldly.
"Of course you hope I'm a fool and let you control me, but I'm not.

I am really curious, what exactly do you want to do? Is there anything about me that is worthy of your plot?"

This is what Meng Zhao couldn't understand the most. His identity was that of a countryman who came to the county town. How could he be involved in such a confusing conspiracy?

It's not that he could get away with it if he refused to share the table with Su Dinglun and Su Dingyu. On the contrary, if he was targeted, he would definitely be dragged into it. The point is, this is too fucking ridiculous. Is it just based on his talent in martial arts?
The Sultan shook his head.

"There are some things we can do but cannot say. If we really have to say it, it should be someone else who tells you that we cannot participate in it. At least this time, the role we play is to be a guide. I just hope that when you achieve something in the future, you will not forget us two guides. That would be great!"

Meng Zhao was speechless. After all the talk, he was still hiding the truth. However, his words revealed that his future was promising. What the hell was this?

Meng Zhao ignored Su Dingyu and carefully reviewed his experience of the day.

What's more, after reviewing it, he suddenly noticed some details.

Firstly, the two people's attitude towards him was indeed quite good, and judging from his ability to judge people, it was also quite truthful. Perhaps some of their words were full of lies, but behind the lies, there was also real expectation and emotion.

The second is that they value their talent in martial arts.

Yes, it is the talent for martial arts, that is why they value themselves.

Also, teaching him the Phantom Sword Technique was not for him to fight and kill, nor was it a trap as he thought, to attract the attention of the Su Family in the future, so that he would become a victim abandoned by the two and be torn into pieces by the Su Family to vent their anger.

The fundamental reason is to test his martial arts talent to see if he is at the level that was observed.

By the way, recalling the entire details of today, it was he who displayed extraordinary ability and attainments in learning the Phantom Sword Technique, which caused a fundamental change in the two people's attitude towards him.

Before, when I treated him, I couldn’t say it was completely fake, I could only say it was half true and half false.

But after he showed his talent in martial arts, the performances of these two people became particularly realistic.

Meng Zhao suddenly understood, yes, this body's talent for martial arts was quite good, and with Meng Zhao's deliberate adjustments, its potential was further developed and its upper limit was higher.

These two people from the Su family were attracted by his talent.

Therefore, the person the two men were plotting against was not a so-called countryman, but a countryman with extraordinary talent for martial arts. There is an essential difference between the two.

The former has a life that can be predicted at a glance, and unless there are accidents, it will be difficult for them to cross classes throughout their lifetime.

For the latter, life is actually full of uncertainties. If someone guides and supports them, they may really be able to make a difference.

Although Su Dingyu's explanation was limited, Meng Zhao realized that the two were not the leaders of this matter, and the real mastermind was someone else.

In an instant, Meng Zhao's heart was like being struck by a thunderbolt, dispersing the endless fog and darkness.

He thought about it.

The Su family, the internal affairs of the Su family, and the disputes within the Su family.

Su Dinglun and Su Dingyu were servants of the Su family. They were supposedly sent to follow a certain young master, or even secretly served a certain young master of the Su family. Therefore, their actions were directed by someone behind the scenes.

The person in charge is most likely a senior member of the Su family, or a direct descendant, and his purposes could be many.

Doing this kind of thing of stealing one's own company's resources is obviously a self-defeating act at the expense of the public interest, but it is not uncommon, as there are a lot of people like this.

He might become a pawn of the young master of the Su family, so he is valued.

When Meng Zhao thought of this possibility, the whole thing suddenly made sense.

Especially Su Dinglun and Su Dingyu, who were servants of the Su family, but were sent to work for the Three Lions Gang. It was obvious that they were exiled. Could this be one of the reasons why these two people, and the people behind them, did this?
When Su Dingyu saw Meng Zhao calm down, he showed an approving smile on his face. However, if he knew what was in his mind, he would probably be horrified, because Meng Zhao's guess was almost right.

This person is really a bit evil. He guessed most of the truth based on just a few clues. Could he be a god?
Time passed by little by little. After an unknown amount of time, three cat meows were heard from outside the carriage.

Su Dingyu's face was filled with excitement. He raised his arm fiercely and pulled Meng Zhao out of the car.
"It's done!"

After landing, Meng Zhao observed the surrounding environment.

This is the entrance to a very hidden alley, and in the entire alley, there is actually only one family, and the house of this family must be quite large.

At this time, the back door of the house had been opened, and the two gatekeepers were knocked unconscious from behind. It should be Su Dinglun's work.

Just as Meng Zhao was about to walk through the door, he was stopped by Su Dingyu.

Sudin sighed, smiled with a fake smile, and pointed at the two unconscious janitors.

"You, draw your sword and kill them!"

Meng Zhao frowned, then realized something and nodded helplessly.

This is what is called a token of allegiance. You have killed someone and your hands are stained with blood. There is no way to get rid of this matter.

Meng Zhao's actions were also very clean and efficient. When it comes to killing people, he is a professional.

It did not exceed his bottom line to attack these two people who he did not know whether they could be considered innocent.

The only thing we can do is to act faster and make them suffer less.

The long sword in Meng Zhao's hand flashed, and with two quick swings of the sword, he pierced the throats of the two men, with precision and full force.

During the entire process, Meng Zhao kept his hands steady and his face calm, without any sign of abnormality.

Su Dingyu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, how could a normal person not have a reaction when killing someone for the first time?

Either Meng Zhao is gifted, or he has killed people before and this is not the first time.

Judging from Meng Zhao's performance, it is most likely the latter.

He didn't say much. As long as Meng Zhao took action, everything would be settled.

Next, the two entered through the back door. Everyone they met along the way was either fainted, asleep, or drunk.

Meng Zhao was also extremely frightened by what he saw.

The one who knocked people unconscious should be Su Dinglun, while those who fell asleep or even drunk were obviously not killed by Su Dinglun.

It's a very simple truth, time is not enough. At the same time, Su Dinglun was wearing a nightgown. He ran over to drink with these people. Even if they were familiar with each other, he dared to drink. But would those people dare to drink?

Obviously, someone had taken action before them, and it was most likely a collaboration between inside and outside.

Therefore, it is convenient for an insider to do things. Even the strongest fortress can often be breached from the inside. (End of this chapter)
