"......!" When Hong Yu heard that someone was going to be replaced, he was unwilling at all. He started to struggle and stared at the two of them with wide eyes.
Seeing the soldier's dramatic reaction to the artillery fire, Mo Yu wondered if he actually knew. He could have him lead the way. If there were any problems, he could just capture another person. At this point, finding someone who wouldn't alert the South Vietnamese army wasn't easy.
Mo Yu asked in a low voice: "Do you know?"
Wang Ruo smiled slightly, gently lifted the leader's chin and said, "Little brother, if you lie, the consequences will be severe."
"..." Hong Yu's body trembled uncontrollably when he met Wang Ruo's murderous smile. Then, Mo Yu tied up the ordinary cook and slowly headed towards the town's least-defended area.
Soon, under the guidance of the soldier, Mo Yu and Wang Ruo arrived at a warehouse on the edge of the town. Outside the warehouse, apart from a few scattered South Vietnamese soldiers patrolling listlessly and yawning, at first glance, there seemed to be nothing special.
After all, Mo Yu and his friends had lived in the town for a while before. In addition, Mo Yu often ran out to play games with the children in the town when he had nothing to do, so he was somewhat familiar with the terrain here.
Therefore, even in this dark night, he could still vaguely identify where he was: "This seems to be a granary?"
Wang Ruo saw that there seemed to be nothing special here. After glancing at the soldier whose hands were tied and mouth was gagged by Mo Yu, he whispered, "You watch him. I'll go in and check the situation first. Wait for my signal."
"Well, be careful."
Seeing Wang Ruo leave, Hong Yu's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly. She had seen Wang Ruo before, when they were besieged by poisonous insects in Qingliang Valley. She hadn't shown much back then, though. Aside from a quick glance at her face, Hong Yu hadn't given it much thought.
It seemed that the martial arts world was just as her mother had said: there were always people better than you, and there were always higher-ups. Some people liked to act recklessly, while others preferred to hide their current strength, never revealing it except in times of crisis. Wang Ruo, naturally, was included in the latter category, and in the ranks of dangerous elements, by Hong Yu.
Before Hong Yu could think about it, and before she could enjoy a moment of "alone time" with Mo Yu, the man who had just left came back in the blink of an eye.
Wang Ruo pointed in the direction of the granary and said, "...It should be here."
Mo Yu asked helplessly, "With your speed, I haven't even seen you go in yet. How can you be sure when you're standing outside?"
Given Wang Ruo's temperament, she would have argued with Mo Yu to prove the correctness of her own opinion. However, due to the unique circumstances, Wang Ruo ignored the debate. "There are several very faint auras around this granary. They must be those masters that Hua Wuxin and the others discovered earlier."
Mo Yu looked at the poorly defended granary and suggested, "We don't know the enemy's strength yet, so let's retreat first."
"Yeah," Mo Yu said, and knocked Hong Yu unconscious on the ground. Then, he and Wang Ruo quickly evacuated the town.
After they left, Hong Yu rubbed the back of his head and slowly got up from the ground. "That was a really brutal blow. It hurts like hell. Judging from their appearance, they're here to destroy the artillery. I don't think they'll be able to do anything for a while. I might as well go get some sleep and rest."
On the other side, Li Xinzhai and Hua Wuxin, who acted almost at the same time as Wang Ruo and the others, had not yet found the target they were searching for that night.
Two black figures were running across the rooftop in the dark night, one in front and one behind. When they stopped to rest for a moment, Hua Wuxin tried his best and finally caught up with Li Xinzhai.
Regarding Li Xinzhai, he could be considered Hua Wuxin's partner to some extent, so Hua Wuxin would naturally not ignore his affairs. Previous intelligence revealed that Li Xinzhai had gradually earned the nickname "Black Crow" in the martial arts world due to his excellent Qinggong skills.
Hua Wuxin had originally thought that no matter how skilled this person was at Qing Gong, he couldn't possibly be any better than him. However, it wasn't until this moment, as he chased after Li Xinzhai's back, that he truly understood the origins of the name Black Crow.
Hua Wuxin saw Black Crow stop at a blind spot in the courtyard and quickly sped up to catch up. While pausing to catch his breath, Hua Wuxin asked, "Lord Black Crow, how much do you despise me? I can't catch up with you with my Qinggong skills. Can you spare my life?"
Li Xinzhai didn't even glance at him, concentrating on observing every move in the courtyard. After a moment, he replied, "Who told you to follow me?"
Hua Wuxin had been holding it in for the entire journey, only to hear this short sentence. He immediately felt unbalanced: "God has eyes, it really wasn't me who wanted to follow you!"
Li Xinzhai turned around and gave Hua Wuxin two huge eye rolls before saying disdainfully, "Oh, who told you to be in the same group with me when you drew lots? If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your own bad character."
Hua Wuxin complained in a low voice with a sad face: "...Alas, it's all fate!"
Before he could finish his complaint and sigh, Li Xinzhai covered his mouth and pulled him to a corner of the courtyard: "Someone is coming, be quiet."
After the person who came out of the house walked away, Li Xinzhai released the hand that had been covering Hua Wuxin's mouth and nose, and asked quietly: "Is the person who just came out, the military advisor of Nanyue, named Xiao Liang?"
Hua Wuxin nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's him. He's not resting in his room this late at night, but coming out from here. I guess the person living in this courtyard has a very special status in the South Vietnamese army."
"It looks like the person in this room might be the one we are looking for." As he spoke, Li Xinzhai pulled out the Emei Spear that he had prepared long ago from his waist and was ready to take action.
Seeing this, Hua Wuxin hurriedly followed him and asked, "You look so ready to go, do you have any plans?"
"Plan? In the eyes of a killer, there is always only a target, never a plan." Li Xinzhai sneered, then slowly adjusted his breathing, trying to blend his breathing with the surrounding environment.
Seeing the murderous aura radiating from him, Hua Wuxin couldn't help but shudder: "...Alas, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gotten involved. The right thing to do is to run a good shop."
