Chapter 746 Death Soldier
This is simply weird. A six or seven-year-old child is surrounded by animals, and the key is that these animals are very obedient.
Bai Wanwan patted Naitang's head and said, "Cook all of this! Leave half for the wild boars."
Before long, the aroma in the camp became stronger. The richness of chicken soup, the aroma of wild boar meat, and the tenderness of goat meat mixed together and went straight into people's noses.
Batu's men stood aside, each of them swallowing their saliva, and one of them muttered quietly:
“My God, do these people eat so well every day?
There is wild boar meat, goat meat, and chicken soup...
We never dared to think about these things before!"
This group of people made a living by robbing tombs and fleeing all year round. Their lives were extremely hard and they were lucky enough to be able to eat half a dry and hard multi-grain cake.
I haven't seen meat for several months, so how could I have seen such a sumptuous meal?
Soon, a table full of food was ready. Bai Wanwan drank a bowl of chicken soup and tasted a piece of tender wild boar meat.
Then he looked at Gu Sinian and asked softly, "Brother Sinian, have you been in the mountains recently?"
Gu Sinian put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, shook his head, and said with a helpless tone:
"How could he have been in the mountains all this time? He was being hunted for a while.
Those assassins must have been sent by Su Daji, coming in waves without stopping."
Fifteen, who was standing next to Gu Sinian, nodded quickly and took over the conversation:
"That's right! Those guys were really ruthless, and we almost couldn't escape several times.
If we hadn't been alert, we would have been caught long ago! If we hadn't taken refuge in the mountains, we'd probably still be being chased by them now!"
These killers are all well-known in the underworld.
This time, Su Daji sent a killer who was ranked tenth on the Jianghu list. Others called him the White-Faced Scholar because he looked like a scholar.
At first, Gu Sinian didn't realize that he was a killer, but Gu Sinian and the others were always vigilant.
The two of them had dinner together and talked a lot, but no one expected that one day the scholar would suddenly pull out a dagger and want to kill Gu Sinian.
Fortunately, Gu Sinian reacted quickly and dodged it, and then the two started fighting.
The scholar was indeed quite capable and did not lose the fight.
In the end, Gu Sinian managed to defeat him by luck thanks to the gun in his hand.
He is now also on the Jianghu list, ranked tenth, because he has always had a cold face and ruthless moves.
People in the underworld gave him a nickname, Black-faced Yama, which makes people tremble with fear just by hearing it.
He looked at Bai Wanwan and said, "That killer is only on the Human Ranking, but he's already very troublesome. I wonder what the Earth Ranking and Heaven Ranking are like."
Seeing Bai Wanwan's surprise, Gu Sinian added:
"In the Jianghu, there are three rankings: Heaven, Earth, and Human.
The list of people we are currently dealing with is the lowest of the three lists. Most of the killers on the list make a living by using fists, kicks, and hidden weapons.
However, on the higher ground rankings, most of the killers are proficient in Qimen Dunjia, poison techniques and trickery, and their methods are even more vicious.
As for the top Heavenly Ranking..."
A trace of solemnity flashed across his eyes:
"It's rumored that the assassins on the Heavenly Ranking can defeat a hundred enemies at once, or stir up trouble with a single sword, or overthrow a powerful faction with their own strength.
To this day, no one knows who is at the top of the Heavenly Ranking, but we only know that there is someone who can truly stop children from crying at night.
Right now, the Human Ranking assassins have put us in danger, and if we face someone from the Earth Ranking or Heaven Ranking in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with them."
This is also the reason why Gu Sinian did not go to find Bai Wanwan. Now many people in the martial arts world are hunting him down, and he is also afraid that those killers will attack Bai Wanwan.
Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "Is there no way for us to get rid of those Jianghu people?"
Gu Sinian shook his head and said:
"Don't underestimate the intelligence network of those Jianghu people, they have been following me all the time.
I thought my whereabouts were secretive enough, but they still found me."
Bai Wanwan frowned: "I really can't understand why they can always find you?"
Gu Sinian stopped, looked sideways at her, and lowered his voice slightly:
"There are so many tricks in the world! Some people rely on their noses to smell. The incense you carry and the scent of the plants you walk by are all signposts in their eyes.
There are also people who, like you, train animals, raising insects, ants, birds, and beasts that can track tracks and can find you by following your scent from miles away."
He paused and said:
"What's more, they can calculate your approximate direction from the grass marks you stepped on, the footprints you left behind, and even the scent of air.
These people are hiding in the dark, so we can't be careless at all."
Bai Wanwan couldn't believe that someone could be so powerful.
At night, Bai Wanwan couldn't sleep well and tossed and turned.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, something really happened.
A dozen masked men appeared out of nowhere and quietly moved towards their military camp.
At this time, Milk Candy started to chirp, and Milk Tea suddenly stood up with a vigilant look.
The masked men went straight to Gu Sinian and Bai Wanwan's tent, but before they could react, several tigers suddenly jumped out and blocked their way.
The masked leader got anxious when he saw this: "Oh no! These people can actually drive away beasts! Let's get out of here!"
But it was too late for them to leave, as the surrounding soldiers had already surrounded them.
The two sides fought each other instantly, and soon the masked men were subdued.
Bai Wanwan took a step forward, stared at them and asked, "Who sent you?"
Who knew that those people didn't say anything at all, but just bit open the poison sac hidden in their mouths and died instantly.
Gu Sinian squatted down, his fingertips checking the masked man's collar. After a moment, he stood up and said in a deep voice, "These people are assassins. Judging from their clothes and the old wounds on their bodies, they are most likely from the palace."
He raised his hand and held up a palm-sized black iron token and said, "Look at this token. Only the palace secret guards are qualified to use it."
Bai Wanwan gritted her teeth and said:
"Su Daji again? This woman is really haunting us! We were hiding so well, how on earth did she catch up to us?
By the way, has the tomb's robbery hole been dug open?"
The guards beside him immediately responded, "It's been dug. We've dug out a hole big enough for people to enter and exit, and the soil inside has been almost cleared."
Bai Wanwan nodded, turned around and picked up the canvas backpack that had been prepared long ago, which contained ropes, tinder, and a compass, and said:
“This area has been exposed and we can’t wait any longer.
I'll send a hundred people down today. Ah Zhi, you follow me."
Bai Wanwan's gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Batu. She had always been wary of him, but now she really needed his skills, so she said, "Batu, you come along too. Take ten people with you."
After arranging Batu, she selected seventy or eighty personal soldiers, and specially picked out three types of people: those who understood the Eight Trigrams and could identify directions and break the deadlock; those who were familiar with disassembling mechanisms and could deal with traps in tombs; and those who had solid martial arts skills and could provide protection.
Everyone had a pistol on his waist, and the dark muzzle exuded a coldness, adding a bit of confidence.
