Chapter 287 Allies

In the dark night, two shadows were running through the forest, quietly approaching the mountain village in the distance.

Under the moonlight, the forest was quiet, and the water flowed quietly into the distance. Two black figures briefly revealed their true bodies in the moonlight, and the spider tattoo on their necks flashed.

The battle between Luo Wang and the Mohists was at a quite militarized stage.

Ever since Luo Wang discovered the existence of a large Mohist stronghold in Sanchuan, he has been investigating the exact location of this stronghold.

A large Mohist stronghold may have hundreds or even thousands of disciples.

This scale is almost like a small fortress, and its daily consumption of food and grass supplies must be a large amount. Even if the specific location of this stronghold is unclear, its vague location can be determined from clues.

The disciples in this mechanism nest are not engaged in production, so they will inevitably collect food and necessary daily necessities from nearby villages, and even materials for making mechanism objects.

These villages must be the fulcrum established by the Mohist family near the organ nest.

Luo Wang sent people to follow the clues, start from these villages, investigate one by one, and finally find out the specific location of the mechanism nest.

The two assassins moved quickly and climbed over a hill, trying to sneak into the village through a hollow road.

This village is in a good location, with mountains on two sides and a river on one side. Only through this trail can it be possible to successfully sneak in.

During times of war, most villages have young men on patrol at night to prevent emergencies.

The two Snare Assassins moved very quickly through the muddy depression, and when they were about to sneak in, they suddenly stopped.

Coming towards me, in the dark night, there was a sharp whistling sound, and dozens of crossbow arrows flew towards me. The two Snare Assassins used their swords to deflect the crossbow arrows while retreating.

By the time the two Snare Assassins stabilized themselves, a dozen young men had already surrounded them.

"The one who snares you?"

When the two sides crossed paths, they both understood each other's identity. Immediately afterwards, the second round of crossbow arrows flew in, and the Mohist disciples quickly approached with weapons in hand.

The assassins of Luowen were a little surprised. These Mohist disciples cooperated closely. Unlike ordinary Mohist disciples, they did not show their courage when encountering the enemy. Instead, they immediately took out a square mechanism and unfolded it into a huge shield.

A dozen Mohist disciples were divided into two groups. Those holding shields were in front and quickly surrounded the two snare assassins.

The two Snare Assassins looked around and found that the roads around them were blocked by these Mohist disciples. If they wanted to go, they could not find a suitable escape route.

At the moment of the collision, the long sword in his hand struck the Mohist disciple's shield. It only made a heavy thumping sound without igniting any sparks.

The space around him that could be moved was squeezed. A net assassin jumped up, trying to escape from the circle of Mohist disciples. However, he only heard the sound of a machine gun knocking, and a crossbow arrow flew out and nailed him.

Then, a group of Mohist disciples surrounded him and killed him with swords.

The remaining assassin broke out in cold sweat when he saw the fate of his companion. Even before joining the trap, he was a murderous desperado, but he couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he saw such a clean and neat method.

However, the emotions in his heart could not affect reality. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the fate of his companions.

The blood spread, and a spider climbed on the body of the assassin in the net. It was pierced by a sword. Its delicate eight claws shrank and soon stopped moving.

In the dark night, several assassins came towards Zhao Gaoxing.

"how?"

"Two of the spies we sent did not come back, and the others also gained nothing."

"Send again!"

"Sir, the search range of the two spies is dozens of miles, and we don't have enough manpower."

"The matter is urgent. The superiors have ordered that the Mo family's mechanism nest must be found within three days."

"So urgent?"

Zhao Gao glanced at the person in front of him and smiled softly.

"Are you questioning Lord Zhiri's decision?"

"I don't dare, I will send people again immediately."

The person in front of him quickly disappeared without a trace, and a middle-aged swordsman appeared next to Zhao Gao.

"Do you really want to find the Mo family's trap nest?"

"Zhao Shuang was able to clearly know where I was twice. The only explanation is that he has his own insider in the net, maybe more than one."

"What's the meaning?"

"Didn't you always want to cut off the water? The net has completely decayed. Its new life will definitely reappear in my hands, and you will become my new first-class swordsman in charge of cutting off the water."

"But will Zhao Shuang watch? I can feel that he is a very dangerous person."

"Yes, it is so dangerous that it can even put the entire network into crisis of destruction. However, compared with Lu Buwei, even with Lord Changping on his side, he is still too weak. Therefore, Zhao Shuang needs allies, even if these allies will He will become an enemy in the future. Changping-kun is like this, and so am I. At least, we are doing the same things now. So, he had several opportunities to kill me, but he still let me go."

"Allies?"

The middle-aged swordsman looked at Zhao Gao with some suspicion. After all, their identities are very different.

Regarding the other party's doubts, Zhao Gao did not get angry, but just smiled softly.

"Status is not the only criterion for judging power. Zhao Shuang knows very well that whoever is closer to power has more power. And I am in a very humble, but very critical position."

"Lord, the snare investigation has begun. In a few days, the brothers have eliminated dozens of snare assassins."

Bai Feng stood in front of Zhao Shuang, looking at him sitting on the stone with some worry. Once the stronghold is exposed in advance, they will not only face Luo Wang's assassins, but also the Qin army in Sanchuan.

"Don't worry, Zhao Gao is a smart man. He is in charge of this matter. He only hopes that both the Mo family and Luo Wang will lose in the fight. He will never use his true strength to make the situation one-sided."

Zhao Shuang smiled and looked at Bai Feng.

"What I'm worried about is the Mo family's side. Yan Dan has taken action. With him disrupting the situation, things will become very troublesome. Moreover, he has placed spies in the Mo family's guild hall."

Bai Feng nodded.

"There is a flow of people within the Mo family. We can send spies to him. I'm afraid he has the same considerations. Lord, even if we are careful enough, we cannot completely prevent this matter."

The movement of disciples within the Mohist family was controlled by the government city. No matter how careful you are, it's impossible to screen out everyone in the government city one by one.

What's more, Zhao Shuang also needs a large number of young disciples who are proficient in mechanism skills. There are a few Yan Dan spies among these people, so it is difficult to guard against them.

"I understand. Therefore, I have asked Gong Shuxiu to speed up the training of young disciples of mechanism arts. The female disciple named Mo Yuan is also very accomplished in mechanism arts. In time, she will definitely achieve something."

"Then what should we do next?"

"If Yan Dan was just a disciple of the Mo family, it would indeed be a bit difficult. But if he is also the prince of the Yan Kingdom, it would be much easier."

Bai Feng looked at the familiar smile on Zhao Shuang's face and already understood his answer.

Mr. Yanchun!
