Scourge Messenger

Chapter 12 Everyone has their own thoughts

On the carriage heading towards the Nightless City, Ying Ru was flipping through his notes to make sure there was no information he had missed.

After Huang Quan solved the problem of opening the safe, the thieves' plan only had one last hurdle left: closing the palace door.

No one has come up with any good solution on this point.

Anguo Temple was very large, with more than one exit and, more importantly, a second or even third floor. Even if the four of them immediately controlled the main entrance, the monks in Anguo Temple would surely know that it was possible to escape through the side or back door, or even jump out directly from the second floor.

So, should we suppress all entrances and exits first?

Not to mention that there are only four of them and they are very short of manpower. The bigger problem is that the main hall of Anguo Temple is not small. It will definitely take them a lot of time to close the hall door and gather in the vault.

If the method given by Huang Quan is feasible, then the four of them will have to work together in the vault and will not be able to act in teams.

However, there were still four days left, so Black Wolf suggested that they call it a day, go back and think carefully about the assignment of "closing the palace gate," and then continue the discussion at the Thieves' House at the usual time tomorrow.

Ying Rushi knew in his heart that the Black Wolf and the Red Snake must be verifying the method provided by the Yellow Dog.

They likely refused to believe that such ordinary tools, combined with simple techniques, could achieve destructive power unmatched by even third- or fourth-rank artifacts. However, they couldn't refute the claim before verification, so they simply interrupted the meeting and used the verification results tomorrow to slap Yellow Dog in the face.

They all wanted to suppress the arrogance of the "Yellow Dog".

Yes, even though Black Wolf presided over the meeting and Red Snake and she often participated in the discussion, the real strong person in this meeting was the taciturn 'Yellow Dog'.

Everyone knew nothing about the House of Thieves, but he knew how to operate the sandbox;

Among the three major problems, he solved the most troublesome one, 'opening the safe'.

No one could refute the proposal he put forward, and everyone could only listen to what he said. If he continued like this, he would easily seize the leadership of this small group of four.

Black Wolf, who had been trying to fight for leadership from the very beginning, realized that if he continued like this, he would become a subordinate, so he decisively terminated the meeting.

If Black Wolf wanted to prove that Yellow Dog's method was not feasible, then she would probably be disappointed, Ying thought.

Although it hadn't been verified, Ying Ru was certain that Huang Quan would never speak without thinking. This was due to both her observation of Huang Quan and... that sliver of steel.

The straight sword that Yan San used to kill the Karasuma clan could not be found after the man died.

It was clearly a new token that had never appeared in "Trustmeister News", but it appeared in the hands of the yellow dog.

It was really hard for Ying Rushi not to associate Yan San with Huang Quan. She even suspected that the knife in Huang Quan's hand was the same one that Yan San had.

Before leaving Pingcheng, she specifically asked Baibao, who entered the secret realm today, to confirm that Yan San did not bring a straight knife with him before entering the secret realm, and even Yan San did not use a straight knife when fighting the Demon King.

Someone suggested that the straight knife looked very similar to the Demon King's weapon, but the two knives dropped by the Demon King today were both in the trophy, and they did not have the token effect.

It was as if Yan San had borrowed the tin straight knife from someone just before killing someone, and he automatically returned it after the killing.

It's as if there is a person standing behind the curtain, watching everything in the world coldly, and occasionally making a move will change the fate of some people.

as if……

"Yellow Dog..."

We should chew on this code name and bury these unfounded speculations deep in our hearts.

For some reason, she began to look forward to the theft four days later.

……

...

"Miss, all the doors of the wooden cabinet have been pulled out, it's amazing!"

Wu Qiu was very excited, and the other three maids felt similar to her. They were all ordinary people, and even though they worked frequently, they were not very physically demanding. But the four tattered wooden cabinets in front of them were their masterpieces - it turns out we can be so powerful!
However, Yaoshi Yuan's expression was not very good. "Go buy four iron cabinets and try again," she ordered.

At this time, a servant came to report that the Duke had finally finished his official duties and had time to see her. Yao Shiyuan immediately rushed to Changqiuzhai, closed the door and said, "Dad, you can set up an ambush on Suzaku Street now. When we arrive, you can capture those three thieves!"

call.

Medicine Master Moko lowered his long hookah and exhaled pale smoke. He was silent for a long time, until Medicine Master Yuan grew impatient. He then slowly spoke, "Compared to Bingzi Jiaolin, the Thieves' House is more important, and so are you. Rather than making a big fuss about Bingzi Jiaolin, it's better to let you steal it. It won't be too late to return it once you've taken control of the Thieves' House."

Pharmacist Yuan was stunned.

"Of course, I won't condone you stealing from the Bingzi pepper forest. If you cause trouble, I can only guarantee your safety. If you want to steal from the Bingzi pepper forest, you'll have to rely on yourself."

"Dad," Yao Shiyuan said word by word, "I don't understand."

Pharmacist Moke stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

He hesitated for a long time, but finally sat back in his chair and took a deep puff of his water pipe. He sighed and said, "Wish, I won't hide it from you. I have many enemies in the court. They will try to deceive the emperor and frame me as soon as they get the chance... The Bingzi Jiaolin is the sword of the great ancestor. Once it returns to everyone's sight, these arrogant people may very well unite to fight against me."

arrogant?

It's obviously loyalty.

"Father, you have so many enemies because you favor your friends over those who dissident you," Yao Shiyuan said. "Father, you think the Bingzi Pepper Forest will remind many loyal ministers of Taizu's kindness and the royal family's favor, so you'd rather we steal it to undermine the royal family's prestige!"

"How dare you!" Yaoshi Moke smashed the hookah with a slap, stood up and glared at Yaoshi Yuan: "You talk to your father like that? Who do you think you are, the emperor?"

"In order to seize power, anything can be used as a bargaining chip."

Pharmacist Yuan raised his hand to clear the smoke from his eyes, shook his head and said, "Dad, you will regret this."

"The twenty-four prefectures of Chang'an are on my shoulders. It's not your turn to decide state affairs." Pharmacist Mo Ke said coldly: "Wish, I am the Grand Chancellor of the Great Zhou!"

……

...

Jiangnan City, Shangfu.

"You're back?" Shang Qia hurried over to look for his sister. "Are you okay?"

Then he saw Shang Xinlei sitting there eating osmanthus cake bite by bite. She looked not only fine, but also had a good appetite.

"What did you discuss in the Thieves' House? How do you plan to steal from the Bingzi Jiaolin?"

"Hmm..." Shang Xinlei tried to recall: "The sandbox in the Thieves' House can be zoomed in and out, it's really fun."

"anything else?"

"Also... Black Wolf is a bit self-righteous, always trying to boss us around, but she's so obvious it comes across as clumsy. White Fox is much more tactful by comparison, but for some reason she's so incredibly concerned about Yellow Dog today. Even though Yellow Dog doesn't seem to recognize her, has she discovered his true identity?"

"The funniest thing is the yellow dog. He thinks he's acting so well, but he always drools at me!"

"What!" Shang Qia jumped up: "He drooled at you?!"

"Yeah, especially when I was eating osmanthus cake and licking the glutinous rice flour off my fingers, I saw him drooling!" Shang Xinlei laughed, "Even if he was wearing a mask, I could read his expression - he must be expecting me to share the cake with him. Humph, I won't give it to him unless he asks me!"

"So you're drooling over the cakes..." Shang Nei sat down slowly. "So what about your theft plan?"

"Ah? They'll be able to pull off the theft plan, I'll just go with them." Shang Xinlei propped up her chin and said, "Overall, they're a very interesting group of people. I'm already looking forward to the day when we all go to Chang'an together."

The negotiation felt weird.

The House of Thieves should obviously be a dangerous secret place where a group of thieves scheme against each other to steal treasures, but how come in my sister's mouth it becomes a private gathering of friends discussing travel plans?
They are here to seek secret places or treasures. What are you going there for, sister?
