Night Owl learns that Jin Xuanming is after the legendary Snow Lotus, which is said to cure all diseases and bring people back to life.
They ran like wild dogs towards the frigid far north.
His lips curled up in a wild smile, and he even started humming a little tune:
"I laughed triumphantly, and laughed triumphantly again..."
He rubbed his hands together and summoned a carrier pigeon—this was after Lu Yan saw how quickly he had gathered information.
He spent a huge sum of money to build "Intelligence Express No. 1" for him.
The carrier pigeon arrived at Lu Yan's residence at a speed of 180 miles per second.
Lu Yan was practicing the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms" in the garden, trying to shatter a boulder with his internal energy.
As a result, he used too much force and ripped his pants.
Just then, the carrier pigeon made a grand entrance, screeching to a halt in front of him.
Lu Yan awkwardly covered his pants, took the mailbox, and opened it.
He suddenly burst into laughter like a 300-pound child, making the surrounding flowers and plants tremble.
"Good job, Night Owl!"
He shouted excitedly, his voice echoing through the sky and startling a flock of birds.
He immediately relayed the order:
"Equip Lu Fei's musketeer team with the latest 'Vulcan rifles,' and each member should carry a thousand rounds of ammunition!"
"Tu Rong's entire navy, change into sharkskin swimsuits, ride on jetpacks, and head to Haixia Pass to meet up with Night Owl!"
After receiving Lu Yan's instructions, Night Owl immediately began to implement his plan.
He found Hu Quan, the garrison commander of Haixia Pass.
His face was beaming with a smile brighter than a chrysanthemum, as enthusiastic as an insurance salesman.
"General Hu, I have recently recruited a group of highly skilled craftsmen. They can repair the sky, mend the earth, and even burn pots. They are especially good at repairing dikes."
"We guarantee a fast and high-quality repair, and we'll even carve a lifelike dragon on the dam!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Quan was secretly delighted. The image of mountains of gold and silver as a reward from the king immediately flashed through his mind.
Although this owl wasn't Javanese, if the dam was repaired so quickly...
The king will be overjoyed and reward him handsomely!
Promotion and wealth will be just around the corner!
So he quickly said:
"Alright, Lord Ye, quickly have them come here! It would be best if they started work tonight!"
The owl chuckled inwardly:
"The fish has taken the bait! That's exactly what I was waiting for!"
In fact, Lu Fei and Tu Rong had set off a day earlier.
While Night Owl was "negotiating" with Hu Quan.
They had quietly arrived outside Haixia Pass and were hiding under the city wall, eating watermelons.
As night fell, the city gates of Haixia Pass slowly opened, and a group of "craftsmen" filed in.
They were all strong and powerful, with sharp eyes, and each carried a Vulcan gun at their waist.
Carrying a "thunderbolt drill" in his hand, he doesn't look like an ordinary craftsman at all.
They are clearly a group of well-equipped special forces soldiers!
Hu Quan stood atop the city wall, watching this group of "craftsmen."
A strong sense of unease suddenly welled up inside me; something just felt off.
But then he thought again, although this night owl was full of tricks.
But after all, he's just one person; what waves can he possibly make?
He comforted himself, "It must be because I haven't been sleeping well lately and I'm overthinking things..."
Night Owl stood beside Hu Quan, pointed at the soldiers carrying "tools," and said with a smile:
"General Hu, look how hardworking these craftsmen are! They're guaranteed to finish the dam repairs on time, and maybe even ahead of schedule!"
Hu Quan echoed with a forced smile:
"Yes, Lord Ye, you've really worked hard..."
The "craftsmen" brought by the owl arrived silently.
Or rather, to sneak into the city as quietly as possible.
They were spotted by many people along the way, who all called themselves the Night Owl Workers.
They quickly dispersed and occupied various key roads within the city.
Lu Fei's musketeers took control of the city gates.
They also posted a sign on the city gate that read, "This road is mine, this tree is mine, if you want to pass, leave some money to pay the toll."
Tu Rong's navy blockaded the port and hung a flag on every ship that read "Night Owl was here".
Haixia Pass is like being shrouded in a giant net covered with cartoon images of owls, making it impossible to escape.
Not even a fly can get out.
Night Owl strode up to Hu Quan with an air of indifference, the smile on his face vanishing instantly.
Instead, a serious expression appears even faster than the face-changing act in Sichuan opera.
"General Hu, your death is near!"
Hu Quan suddenly realized what was happening, filled with terror; he never expected this.
This usually smiling owl was surprisingly ruthless.
He instinctively reached for his knife, only to find that it had been replaced with a banana.
It was already ripe, but it was too late.
The knife in Night Owl's hand moved with lightning speed, and Hu Quan's head flew high into the air.
Blood gushed out, staining the blue bricks of the city tower red, creating an eerie artistic effect.
The enormous head rolled off with a thud, its terrified eyes still wide open.
He seemed unable to believe that he had died just like that, in such an absurd way.
The surrounding soldiers immediately erupted in chaos, with shouts and screams filling the air.
"kill!"
With a roar, Night Owl charged into the enemy ranks like a wild donkey unleashed.
The deputy commander of Haixia Customs reacted quickly; he was about to raise a loud warning.
He then played his family's heirloom suona, which he had treasured for many years.
A dark shadow flashed by, faster than lightning, followed by a gunshot.
A bloody hole appeared between his eyebrows, and he fell straight down.
Lu Fei blew on the muzzle of the gun and curled his lip in disdain.
"Brothers, let's take the high ground of the city wall first!"
