Chapter 27 Cooperation
"I have no idea of the whereabouts of the leader of the Tiandihui. I hope you can forgive me." Hongluan felt sad. Among the Tiandihui, the four members of "Tian Di Tong Xi" were the most mysterious and notorious.
Although she was the leader in charge of the capital, her status was incomparable to theirs. Even though she had seen countless people, she felt a little uneasy when she met two of them at once.
With an extra eyesore, Wei Shan lost interest in studying and looked at Hong Luan. "Now that everyone is here, let's talk about it. What is the mission of the leader?"
Hongluan nodded, removed the teacup, and unfolded a map on the table. "The Queen Mother's birthday is at the end of the month. The Cangzhou County Magistrate has prepared a large amount of goods and shipped them to the capital as a birthday gift for the Queen Mother."
Cangzhou is located on the border of the capital, not too close, not too far either. "Headmaster, are you planning to take the birthday gift? This is not a small amount of cargo." Wei Shan rubbed his chin.
"That's right." Hong Luan nodded. "This batch of goods is expected to enter the capital at midnight tonight. The leader has ordered that we must seize this batch of goods before they enter the capital."
"Then why not do it on the way from Cangzhou capital to the border of the capital?" Wei Shan pointed to the long distance between the two. According to the carriage journey, it would take at least seven or eight days to travel there.
Hongluan's expression was indescribable. "We did arrange for someone to take action at the halfway station, but they failed."
Wei Shan: ...
This is somewhat rubbish.
"Xi" noticed something, "There are experts escorting them." There are also secret stakeouts of the Tiandihui in Cangzhou. Although the people stationed there are not as strong as "Tiandi Tongxi", they are not weak either.
Anyone who can make them fail must be a top master whose strength is far superior to theirs.
"That's true." Hongluan's fingertips, stained with blood-red dan, gently tapped a valley on the map at the border of Cangzhou and the capital. "According to the spies' report, the one who escorted this batch of birthday gifts was the escort hired by the Cangzhou County Magistrate at a high price - 'Iron Hand Judge' Song Qianli.
This man's martial arts skills are unfathomable. He once collaborated with the government to attack twelve of our Tiandihui's secret agents in the Jiangnan area, and we have a mortal enemy. His whereabouts have been unknown before. This time, the leader of the guild not only wants the birthday gift, but also cuts this man into pieces."
Upon hearing this, Wei Shan raised his eyebrows slightly. "Song Qianli? I've heard of him. No wonder it takes two people to work together." He suddenly grinned, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. "After so many days of school, it's time to loosen up my shins."
Seeing him eager to try, Hong Luan couldn't help but remind him: "Fellow protector, Song Qianli is definitely not an ordinary person. His pair of iron hands can tear tigers and leopards apart alive. Countless masters in the martial arts world have died at his hands. Don't underestimate him."
Wei Shan waved his hand lazily, "Don't worry, I haven't lived enough. Also, call me Master Wei. I am a person with a name now."
"seat":......
Wei Shan noticed Xi's silence, turned around and rolled his eyes, "What about you? What are your plans? If it weren't for the leader's order, I wouldn't bother with you."
"I'll follow your instructions." A strange voice sounded, and it was impossible to discern the emotion. Wei Shan immediately regretted taking the initiative to talk to this weirdo.
Hong Luan laughed dryly, breaking the stalemate. "Then you two will just be responsible for capturing Song Qianli. The rest will be handled by the members of the Tiandihui."
"I know, I know. We have to hurry and don't waste time." As Wei Shan said this, "Xi" had disappeared.
Wei Shan blurted out the word "national quintessence".
…
A team of carriages and horses moved quietly on the dim avenue. The horses' hooves were wrapped in coarse cloth, and they made only dull sounds when stepping on the gravel road.
Ten horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods were neatly arranged in a straight line. On each side of each carriage walked a man holding a lantern. The dim light could barely illuminate a few feet of the road.
"Master Song, we're just a few miles away from the capital." At the rear of the convoy, a man in shorts holding a lantern said to the man wearing a bamboo hat beside him, "You've had a hard time on this journey. Once we get to the capital, I'll make sure you have a good time."
The man wearing a bamboo hat in the middle of the night was Song Qianli. He put his hands in his sleeves and responded after hearing what he said, "Well, patrol more often. It's inevitable that they will take action again when they reach the capital."
"Alright," the man called out to his fellow convoy members, "Everyone, keep your eyes open. If there's any sign of trouble, be alert immediately!"
"Okay." The men in the team responded.
Since leaving the capital of Cangzhou, they have been harassed several times, especially at night when they were staying at the post station. If it weren't for Song Qianli, their heads would have been chopped off long ago.
As they were about to reach the capital, they dared not sleep and traveled all night long, just to enter the capital and feel a little more at ease.
"Report--" There was a sudden noise in front, and the man guarding the car immediately drew his sword and was on guard.
"What's wrong? What happened?" The man standing next to Song Qianli stretched his neck to look forward, and saw a skinny man running all the way from the front of the carriage, panting.
"In front... there is a person lying in front."
"What? There's a person lying there, dead or alive?" the man asked him.
The skinny monkey was stunned and scratched his head, "No... I didn't pay attention."
"Tsk, you're making such a fuss without even seeing it. Take me over to have a look." The man was furious. He was so frightened just now that his heart was pounding and he still hasn't recovered.
Following the skinny monkey to the front of the convoy, I vaguely saw a figure lying not far ahead, horizontally in the middle of the road.
The man nudged the skinny monkey with his elbow and said, "Hey, come over and take a look."
The skinny monkey shook his head repeatedly, "I...I don't dare."
"What are you afraid of? Just go if I tell you to." The man stuffed the lantern into the skinny monkey's hand and pushed him forward.
The skinny monkey took a half step forward tremblingly, turned his head back to look at the man in fear, wanting to say something but stopping himself, shrinking back timidly.
"Go quickly." The man waved his hand, urging him on like he was shooing away a fly.
The skinny monkey kept swallowing his saliva, slowly approached with heavy legs, and stretched out the lantern to illuminate the man's face.
He was dressed in emerald green, had picturesque features, was handsome as jade, and had a gentle scholarly air that could not be concealed even with his eyes closed.
After seeing that the man did not look like a bad guy, the skinny monkey immediately relaxed his guard, squatted down, and reached out his hand to feel his breath.
Then he turned around and shouted, "Boss, alive...alive!"
The man then approached and took the lantern from the skinny monkey's hand to shine his light on him. "He looks like a scholar, why is he lying on the road in the middle of the night?"
A face that was too good-looking could make most people let down their guard. As for why he was lying there, it could be traced back to a few moments ago.
After Wei Shan arrived, he did not find any trace of "Xi". He only asked them to cooperate to capture Song Qianli, but did not say how to cooperate. He did not want to ask him in the cold.
So he followed his plan and pretended to lie unconscious on the road. They would surely stop and send someone to check. When they were off guard...
He took the initiative to attack) and captured Song Qianli in one fell swoop.
