Chapter 558: Uninvited Guests

The door was pushed open with a creak, and a postman came in carrying a wooden basin in one hand and a steaming wooden barrel in the other. After entering the door, he put down the things in his hands, turned around, and opened the door again. Cover up.

"Pour the water into the basin and it will be fine!" Deng Gongming sat on the chair, took off his boots and thick socks, stretched out his hands and rubbed his feet, and said.

"Sir, I have the ability to massage acupuncture points with my hands. I wonder if you would like to give it a try?" The postman lowered his hands and lowered his head, with a flattering tone in his voice.

"Oh, you still have this skill?" Deng Gongming was greatly surprised. He raised his head and glanced at the postman. Unfortunately, the postman was standing in a backlight. He lowered his head, but he could not see the other person's face clearly. Massage, in Jicheng, is only provided by the best restaurants. Deng Gongming also tried it. After that massage, I felt really comfortable all over my body, but the charge was indeed a bit higher.

In those places, the massage providers are all good-looking women, but in a small place like Fufeng, it is not easy for someone to know how to do this.

"Okay, okay, then I will let you serve me for once. If you press well, you will be paid." Deng Gongming said with great interest.

The postman bent down, picked up the steaming footbath, and placed it in front of Deng Gongming. His feet were submerged in the hot water, and Deng Gongming let out a sigh of relief.

The postman squatted in front of him, put his hand into the water, and gently washed Deng Gongming for a moment. He then lifted the other person's feet, wiped the water stains, placed them on his knees, raised his thumbs, and pointed With a gentle press on an acupoint on the sole of his foot, a numbness suddenly spread to his heart. Deng Gongming let out a long sigh and closed his eyes comfortably.

"Mr. Deng, I must be feeling restless and restless these days. Is your false anger rising? Is there some trouble with your errand?" the postman said with a smile.

Deng Gongming hummed and suddenly reacted. A small postman dared to inquire about his official business, but he didn't know the rules. He opened his eyes in a panic. He wanted to reprimand the other party, but at this moment, the postman also raised his head and met each other's eyes. The postman's face was full of smiles, but Deng Gongming froze as if he had been struck by lightning. After a while, a hand was raised and pointed at the postman's head, "You. You..."

The postman's hand was pressing Deng Gongming's leg. If it hadn't been like this, this guy would definitely jump up at this time.

"Master Deng, be quiet!"

Deng Gongming's tense muscles slowly relaxed and he just looked at each other. His eyes were still full of disbelief, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Master Li, why are you here?"

Mr. Li is naturally Li Yuncong who sneaked into western Liaoning. He sneaked into western Liaoning on the orders of Tan Feng to complete two tasks.

One is to assassinate Yan Shenghao, and the other is to kill Zhou Yuan.

The first mission has failed. Although Yan Shenghao was injured, his life was intact. After confirming this, Li Yuncong left the control of Jishi City without hesitation. For a senior official of Zhengdong Mansion like Yan Shenghao, you did not seize the opportunity. There will be no second chance for you. If there is, it is definitely a trap.

Li Yuncong never thought about the consequences of failing to complete the task. He just knew that this matter was no longer possible.

The Overwatch Council of the Eastern Conquest Army was beating him all over the world. However, he appeared in Liaoxi City without incident.

"I am here naturally under the orders of Commander Tan." Li Yuncong calmly pressed the acupuncture points on the soles of Deng Gongming's feet as if nothing had happened.

"Did you do the assassination of Yan Shenghao outside Jishi City?" Deng Gongming asked.

"It's a pity that it didn't succeed and allowed the traitor to escape." Li Yuncong said regretfully: "I underestimated Gao Yuan's intuition for danger. Of course, if it weren't for the mistakes in his subordinates' actions, they would still have succeeded. The crossbow arrows were scattered at several targets. If all the crossbow arrows were concentrated on Yan Shenghao, he would never survive. "

Speaking of this, Li Yuncong still feels very annoyed. The older Yan Lingwei was severely purged. This time, he came with a group of newcomers instead of the confidants he was used to. When doing things, problems would arise either here or there. This gave him a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Why did you come to me?" Deng Gongming felt something was wrong. Being targeted by someone like Li Yuncong was definitely not a good thing.

Sure enough, Li Yuncong looked at him and said something that shocked him, "The higher-ups meant that Zhou Taiyuan would never be allowed to enter Jicheng alive, so he must die, and he must die in western Liaoning."

"This won't work!" Deng Gongming said immediately: "If Zhou Taiwei dies, how can I deliver the mission? Do you want to put me to death?"

Li Yuncong smiled and said, "Master Deng, are you confused? It will be difficult for you to do business until Zhou Yuan dies. If he dies, you may suffer some injustice in the short term, but in the long run, you will After this incident, will Commander Tan still remember you?"

"How can Lieutenant Zhou Yu let me go?" Deng Gongming said tremblingly.

"Without Zhou Yu's approval, how could Commander Tan make such a decision arbitrarily? Master Deng, Zhou Yu is now the leader of the Zhou clan. If Zhou Yuan goes back, how will Commander Zhou make his own decisions? Where? And Zhou Taiwei has parted ways with Zhou Yuan, do you still think that Zhou Taiwei will protect him?" Li Yuncong smiled and switched to Deng Gongming's other foot and continued to massage.

"Kill Zhou Yuan, how can you and I escape?"

"Why should Lord Deng worry about how to get out? You are a special envoy sent by Jicheng. Could Gao Yuan still dare to detain you? As for me, you don't need to worry about it. Even if you can't get out and fall into the hands of the other party, don't worry about being implicated." Li Yuncong said lightly.

"Lord Li, you..." Hearing the information revealed in the other party's tone, Deng Gongming couldn't help but feel a little trembling. Suddenly thinking of Li Yuncong's background, he immediately understood that Li Yuncong had no way to retreat.

"What do you want me to do?" he asked.

"I assassinated Yan Shenghao outside Jishi City, which has alarmed the other party's Supervisory Council. Perhaps they also guessed that I might assassinate Zhou Yuan again. So now Zhou Yuan is closely guarded. I can't get close to Zhou Yuan at all. What you have to do is to take me to Zhou Yuan's room." Li Yuncong wiped Deng Gongming's feet and clapped his hands, but he was still squatting on the ground.

"As far as I know, there are still two guards in Zhou Yuan's room." Deng Gongming said. "Once we start, there will be noise, and the guards outside will break in. How can you have a chance to succeed?"

"As long as I enter Zhou Yuan's room, I have a chance, and a great chance!" Li Yuncong smiled and said, "I still have some skills in killing people. There are only two guards, and I can succeed before they can react. As for the rest, I just have to kill Zhou Yuan, and whether I can escape is up to fate. And you, you just need to put all the blame on me afterwards."

"Are you really so sure?" Deng Gongming asked doubtfully.

"Of course, Lord Deng, you should also know what I did before? I have been doing this for decades!" Li Yuncong stood up, and the smile in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a coldness.

Deng Gongming shuddered with excitement. Tan Feng and Zhou Yu wanted to kill Zhou Yuan. If he refused to agree with Li Yuncong's intention, he was afraid that he would not have a good time after returning.

He suddenly regretted it. When this task was assigned to him, he thought it was a good opportunity to show off. Who knew it was a big fire pit. Now he had no choice but to jump in. After jumping in, he had no idea whether he could get up.

"There are some of my casual clothes in that box. You and I are about the same size. Put them on. I will take you to see General Zhou." Deng Gongming made up his mind. Zhou Yuan was out of fashion, but he could not offend the new general Zhou Yu and the imperial doctor Tan Feng. Otherwise, not only would he not have a good end, but his family would also be implicated. What's more, after this incident, he might not be in danger of his life. As Li Yuncong said, he could completely blame him and claim that he was coerced by him.

A moment later, Deng Gongming and Li Yuncong appeared outside the door of Zhou Yuan's room.

"Sir Deng!" A guard came up outside the door. "It's getting late. I wonder what Sir Deng wants to do at this time?"

Deng Gongming smiled. "It's like this. We will set off tomorrow, but I want to ask the Taiwei for instructions on the logistics of these four or five thousand people. I am a civil servant, and I really don't understand these things. Taiwei Zhou has been a soldier all his life, and he knows these things very well. I want to ask the Taiwei for advice, so that I won't be in a hurry and delay the trip if something goes wrong on the road?"

"Who is this?" The guard looked at Li Yuncong behind Deng Gongming.

"He is the clerk I brought with me. He is responsible for the logistics allocation of the army. Bringing him to report to the Taiwei can make it much clearer than what I can say."

The guard nodded. "So that's the case. Sir Deng, please go in. The Taiwei hasn't rested yet. If you come a little later, it won't work."

"Thank you very much!" Deng Gongming nodded and walked towards the door with Li Yuncong.

Behind him, the guard who had just smiled had a strange smile on his face. He stood there, motionless, and made a few gestures with his hands behind his back. After making these gestures, the guard followed the two men to the door.

Deng Gongming knocked on the door gently, "General Zhou, Deng Gongming wants to see you!"

"Gongming, please come in!" Zhou Yuan's steady voice came from inside.

Deng Gongming felt his heart thumping, turned around to look at Li Yuncong, stretched out his hand to push open the door, and the light in the room illuminated the two of them at once.
