Chapter 122 Taoxiyuan, assassination!

Outside the dark street, Qin Shuang tilted his head and looked at Shen Bai with a puzzled look, as if asking something.

Shen Bai shook his head: "How would I know these gossips?"

In fact, Shen Bai knew that Long Yan had a relationship with Tao Opera House, but he was not very clear about the specific relationship.

Apart from reporting for duty every day, Shen Bai would spend his time in the Jiantian Division's martial arts training ground. In his spare time, he would either go and brag with Mu Lao or have dinner with Qin Shuang. He really had no time to catch up on these gossips.

Qin Shuang uttered an "oh" and looked around: "Let's find a night snack stall and eat while we talk."

Shen Bai thought about it and nodded, "Alright, let's talk and eat at the same time."

We have to eat anyway, so finding a place to eat and chat can save a lot of time.

Not long after, the two left the Jiantian Division and walked towards the street next to them.

……

In front of the wonton stall.

"Boss, two bowls of wontons, no green onions." Qin Shuang ran to the stall excitedly and said to the boss.

The two found a place to sit down, and soon the steaming wontons were brought up by the boss.

Shen Bai scooped a mouthful of soup with a spoon and drank it while it was hot. He felt a warmth in his stomach: "It tastes pretty good."

Wontons are the most common midnight snack in Fenglinzhou. They are topped with some side dishes and served with a bowl of clear soup. They can satisfy your hunger and cravings at night.

Qin Shuang took a bite of wonton, squinted his eyes, and showed a happy expression: "I haven't eaten here for a long time, it's so delicious."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "With your salary, if you come to eat every day, there will be a surplus."

Qin Shuang shook his head and said seriously, "That's different. Eating alone is not as good as eating with two people."

Shen Bai thought about it, and remembered what Qin Shuang had said to him before. He knew what Qin Shuang was thinking: "When I have time, I will accompany you to eat more often."

Qin Shuang nodded vigorously and pointed at the wontons in Shen Bai's bowl: "Don't just say you don't want to eat it, this thing tastes better when it's hot."

Shen Bai took a bite and asked, "By the way, what's going on with Roommate Long and Tao Xiyuan? I saw she looked quite distracted tonight."

Although he was eating, Shen Bai still didn't forget his business.

Shen Bai had heard from both the sect leader and Liu Wufeng that coming to Tao Opera House this time was not such a simple matter.

Especially since this matter also concerns the Tianjian Division, Shen Bai is now a member of the Tianjian Division, so he needs to understand it in advance in order to make preparations.

Qin Shuang put down the spoon in his hand, thought for a moment, and then his foodie nature awakened. He subconsciously ate another one: "Room Owner Long was originally from Taoxiyuan."

Shen Bai was slightly surprised when he heard this: "From the Peach Opera House? Why did the owner of the Long House come to the Heavenly Guardian again?"

Taoxiyuan is not a simple place. There might be a Marquis Feng Jiang behind it. With this kind of background, it doesn't matter whether you come to Jiantiansi or not.

This is what Shen Bai is most puzzled about, why the owner of the Long family would come to work in the Jiantian Division.

Beijing-level cities are several levels higher than state-level cities.

Qin Shuang pouted, looking very angry. "It's because Tao Opera House is unfair. In their generation, Master Long was the most amazing disciple of Tao Opera House. According to Tao Opera House's standards, he could become a star."

Various forces have their own hierarchical standards. Although Taoxiyuan is a gang force, it is also derived from the opera troupe known by the people.

A leading figure is similar to the top person in other forces.

Shen Bai frowned and asked, "What happened next? Didn't Room Master Long become a star?"

The strength of the landlord who can serve as the Sky Monitor is unquestionable.

Maybe Lord Long is not as good as Mu Lao in fighting, but Shen Bai estimates that the difference will not be too big.

Qin Shuang nodded. "Among that generation, there was someone who was worse than Master Long, but he had a different background. He was said to be the son of the owner of the Peach Opera House."

"At that time, the owner of the vineyard wanted his son to become the leading actor and marry the owner of the dragon house."

Shen Bai heard this and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "So that's how it is."

In fact, the coverage of power exists everywhere.

In a word, for those who live in the underworld, being able to fight is not necessarily the best, you also need to have power.

Long Yan was successful at a young age, with outstanding strength and extraordinary talent. No one would succumb to such a decision.

Not only did she give up becoming a star, but she also had to become someone else's wife, and it was a forced arrangement. Long Yan's personality was definitely unbearable.

Shen Bai paused for a moment, took another bite of wonton, and then continued to ask, "What happened next?"

Qin Shuang sighed, "Later, the owner of the Long family ran away. She didn't want to be a star, nor did she want to be the daughter-in-law of the garden owner."

"Afterwards, Master Long experienced a lot in the underworld and was even captured by the Peach Opera House several times, but he managed to escape without any danger each time."

"After that, Lord Long became increasingly powerful, mastering the Peach Opera House's acting skills to perfection. Suddenly, the Peach Opera House realized they could no longer handle Lord Long."

"So, Taoxiyuan found the Tianshi Supervisor."

Shen Bai frowned and asked, "Did the people from the Heavenly Monitoring Department agree to it at that time?"

Shen Bai felt that this story was more and more like a novel with a heroine in his previous life.

He suffered a lot, then escaped from pursuit, and finally succeeded in counterattacking.

Shen Bai became even more curious about what would happen next.

Qin Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Later, Master Long happened to stay in Fenglin Province, and it also happened that my teacher was the governor of Sizhou at that time."

"Teacher received the order and personally took action. It took him five days and five nights to finally capture the Dragon Room Master."

"However, after capturing the Dragon Room Master, the teacher made another decision and took him into the Heavenly Monitoring Division."

Shen Bai touched his chin.

This result is similar to what Shen Bai expected.

In fact, apart from this result, Shen Bai couldn't figure out how Long Yan joined the Tianjian Division.

"So, just because we joined the Tianjian Division, Tao Xiyuan will not pursue the matter further?" Shen Bai asked.

Qin Shuang nodded, sipping his soup in small sips, and said incoherently, "Those guys were actually very angry, but due to the authority of the Tianjian Division, they dared not speak out. So, Room Master Long stayed here."

Speaking of this, Shen Bai actually already knew everything that happened.

There were still a few wontons left on the table, floating in the clear soup.

"Those bad guys probably came to Fenglin Province with no good intentions this time." Qin Shuang snorted.

Shen Bai ate the wontons in a few mouthfuls and said, "Who cares? If there's a mission, we'll take it. Lord Liu took in Room Master Long, so there's no way he'd just ignore it."

After a pause, Shen Bai looked at the empty bowl, turned around and shouted to the boss.

"Boss, have another bowl."

Qin Shuang rolled his eyes and raised his right hand: "Give me a bowl too!"

You should never start eating midnight snacks, because once you start, there will be no end to it.

The two of them ate a total of six bowls of wontons, and then left in a leisurely manner under the shop owner's horrified eyes.

……

After returning home, Shen Bai looked at the smoke in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Afterwards, he still had no intention of breaking his previous plan and continued to prepare for the game "God Travels a Hundred Miles".

Although there are ten strands of evil spirit, it takes the time to develop one level 4 skill to the second qualitative change to complete both skills to level 4.

At present, Shen Bai’s magical powers in all aspects are sufficient, so there is no need to develop one subject in a biased way.

not to mention……

Shen Bai sensed the Qi in his body and said, "The golden color in the lungs has already spread to a certain extent. Perhaps after all my magical powers reach level four, I can move on to the next five internal organs."

"Moreover, after each magical power reaches level four, I will also have corresponding new attributes."

With this thought in mind, Shen Bai didn't say anything more and circulated the Qi in his body.

The next moment, an afterimage was left on the spot, and Shen Bai began to work hard to improve his proficiency in the skill of Traveling a Hundred Miles.

Time passed in Shen Bai's frantic efforts.

……

Time passes gradually.

From the last state celebration to today, the people's enthusiasm has disappeared a lot.

No matter how busy it is, life still has to go on.

Gradually, people began to resume their daily lives and things became normal.

Although there is still the joy and excitement of the state anniversary, it is no longer there.

On an official road not far from Fenglin Prefecture, a team of hundreds of people was traveling on the road.

Leading the group were more than ten horses, on which sat people in uniform.

In the middle is an extremely luxurious carriage.

Even the windows of the carriage were inlaid with strands of gold threads. Behind the carriage was a long line of people.

People on both sides were holding flags with the word "play" written on them.

At this time, a handsome young man was sitting in the carriage.

The young man was dressed in silk and satin and looked lazy.

Next to them, two women in light gauze, one holding a wine glass and the other holding a wine pot, poured a glass for the young man.

"Sir, please..."

The young man took the wine glass, took a sip, and asked, "How long will it take to reach Maple Forest State?"

The woman in green gauze on the left smiled faintly and said, "We'll be there in half an hour."

The woman in blue gauze on the right lowered the wine jug and said, "Young Master, are you thinking about how to meet Uncle Long?"

The young man's originally calm expression gradually turned cold when he heard this. "Back then, my father liked her and gave her a chance to marry her, but she didn't know the benefit and ran away secretly. Do you think I really want to see her?"

Seeing the young man's face turn cold, the two women hurriedly lowered their heads, obviously knowing that they had said something wrong, and became silent.

The young man continued, "A woman of humble origins wanted to become a star in the Peach Opera House without even considering her own status. Now, she thinks she has changed her appearance by joining the Tianjian Division, but she will always be a graduate of the Peach Opera House."

"Being the owner of a Tianjiansi property in a state-level city is indeed quite prestigious, but it's only prestigious in Maple Forest State."

The two women hurriedly said yes and didn't dare say anything else.

At this time, the young man waved his sleeves.

"This trip has an important mission. We've already passed through more than ten cities. We can't lose our composure because of this woman. We can't just pretend we never saw her."

"I, Tang Yun, am not a fool. I won't provoke her."

In the entire carriage, Tang Yun was the only one speaking.

The atmosphere relaxed slightly.

The green-veiled woman whispered, "The connection network in Maple Forest State has been delivered."

As she spoke, the woman in blue gauze who was narrating took out a letter from her bosom, held it in both hands, and handed it to Tang Yun.

Tang Yun took it in his hand and looked through it carefully for a moment, his eyes showing interest: "It seems that a lot of things have happened in Fenglin Province recently."

The woman in blue gauze showed curiosity in her eyes, but thinking of what she had said wrong not long ago, she did not dare to continue speaking, but just looked at Tang Yun curiously.

Like someone eager to share, Tang Yun tossed the letter to the blue-veiled woman and said, "Take a look. It's really interesting. The young people in Maple Forest State are just rising up now."

The woman in blue gauze opened the letter curiously.

The woman in green gauze next to her also came over.

The two of them looked at it together, and the surprise in their eyes became more and more.

"I've never heard of the Shang'e Sect. It's just an indigenous evil force in Fenglin State. But the Yedao Sect and Yefo Sect are not simple."

"These rats exist in every part of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Even in Maple Forest State, their strength cannot be underestimated. I never thought they would target one person at the same time."

"Shen Bai, such an ordinary name. He was able to overcome adversity and defeat the Tongmai realm with the Five Internal Organs realm. How... is this possible!"

"Even in a capital-level city, there has never been such a genius!"

The two women were talking to each other, and their words were full of surprise because of Shen Bai.

Tang Yun listened, snatched the wine glass, and took a sip: "Fake."

As soon as these words came out, the two women looked puzzled.

Tang Yun sneered and said, "The Tongmai realm is known as the watershed for practitioners. The other realms are easy to reach, but the Tongmai realm is impossible."

The blue-veiled woman asked curiously, "So, sir, are you saying that Maple Forest State deliberately pushed this?"

Tang Yun nodded, looked at the empty wine glass, and patted the green-gauze woman's perky buttocks.

The woman in green gauze understood and refilled Tang Yun's glass with a charming smile.

Tang Yun drank the wine in his glass and then said, "The world has been in turmoil for a long time, and Maple Forest State is no exception. In my opinion, Liu Wufeng of Maple Forest State probably wants to promote this person to improve the reputation of Maple Forest State."

"You know, if a shining new star emerges during a turbulent period for the dynasty, it will definitely boost the morale of Maple Forest State and avoid many problems."

The blue-veiled woman showed a look of sudden enlightenment: "So that's how it is. This Shen Bai was pushed out by Liu Wufeng in order to boost the morale of Fenglin State."

"What else?" Tang Yun sneered, "Liu Wufeng didn't recruit any special recruits earlier or later, but at this time. His meaning is very clear."

"Then what should we do, young master?" The woman in green gauze poured a glass of wine for Tang Yun and leaned in his arms.

Tang Yun pondered and said, "You can go and meet them. When we get to Maple Forest Province, we'll see how you guys did with the forces I asked you to screen."

The woman in blue veil nodded and said, "We have already screened out those forces with weaker wills. When the time comes, we will use the opera as an introduction to quietly visit them."

After receiving the reply, Tang Yun stopped talking and continued to drink.

At this moment, something unusual suddenly occurred.

The carriage was moving when it suddenly braked, causing the wine in Tang Yun's hand to spill all over the ground.

"what's the situation!"

Tang Yun's calm face suddenly became extremely irritable. He took a few steps forward, lifted the curtain, and prepared to question the coachman.

But at this moment, he saw the guards around him all drew their weapons from their waists.

Tang Yun felt a bad feeling in his heart, and then looked towards the end of the official road not far away.

At the end, there was an old monk sitting.

The old monk sat cross-legged on the ground, head bowed, reciting Buddhist scriptures.

In front of the old monk is a wooden fish.

The wooden fish is old and looks very ordinary.

But as the old monk continued to strike the wooden fish, it actually created invisible ripples.

As invisible ripples emerged, the old monk slowly raised his head.

There was no holy and bright Buddha light on the old monk's body, but pieces of filthy and dark air currents, coiling around like snakes.

Tang Yun's eyes focused: "Wild Buddha Sect!"

The ordinary Buddha's light shines like gold, but when it falls on this old monk, it is as black as ink.

Tang Yun didn't need to look any further to tell at a glance that the old monk in front of him was a member of the Wild Buddhist Sect.

"Sir, why are you blocking my way to Tao Opera House?" Tang Yun asked slowly.

The old monk staggered, using both hands to support himself as he climbed up from the ground. "Buddha has mercy on me. I have been waiting here for a long time. I wonder if Mr. Tang is free to talk to me in detail."

Tang Yun frowned and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

The old monk smiled and said, "This matter must not be known to outsiders."

The words just fell.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery changed.

Streams of black smoke rose from all directions.

The guards of Tao Opera House, including the two women, inhaled black smoke and struggled violently, with blood flowing from all their orifices.

Soon, they turned into corpses and fell to the ground motionless.

Tang Yun's eyes widened as he shouted angrily, "How dare you kill the people from Taoxiyuan!"

Tao Opera House itself belongs to the Marquis of Jiang, so its identity is extremely sensitive. Every year, many teams go out to perform operas.

But because of the sensitive identity, no experts can be sent.

This time, Tang Yun did the same.

The old monk shook his head and said, "Since it is a secret, of course it cannot be made known to others. From now on, Mr. Tang's guards will be replaced."

As soon as he finished speaking, people in Taoist robes rushed in from all directions and changed into the clothes of the entourage.

Tang Yun's eyes widened. "Ye Dao Men, you two factions are actually going to join forces one day. Why is that?"

The old monk smiled and said, "This time, it won't delay Young Master Tang's affairs, and it will even gain the favor of two forces. Marquis Fengjiang will probably be happy too."

Tang Yun narrowed his eyes: "What do you want me to do."

Tang Yun didn't care about the previous words, but he started to care after the three words "Feng Jiang Hou" appeared.

The wild Taoist sect and the wild Buddhist sect are very widespread, and the marquis may really be interested.
Upon hearing this, the old monk's usually calm face showed a hint of sternness for the first time: "This time, we need the help of Young Master Tang's team to enter the city."

"The purpose is simple. We want one person to die."

Tang Yun asked, "Who?"

The murderous intent in the old monk's eyes became extremely fierce: "Shen Bai!"
