"We understand," Yan Kuo said. Yan Kuo said. The severity of the matter this time was obvious just from the identity of the person they were trying to save. The Imperial Uncle's incident had caused a huge commotion.
"Alright, let's get to work!" After Bo Gui gave his orders, the four of them left Bo Gui's study. "Everyone, gather your subordinates. We'll gather at the hiding spot in the Song Capital." Since Bo Gui wasn't here, Yan Kuo, who was the strongest, naturally made the decision. Nie Li and the other two didn't say anything. There must be some secret to this mission.
Nie Li led the Demon Apprentice and the others in disguise. They disguised themselves as a passing escort team and went straight to the Song Capital. After passing through the black mountains and walking on the official road, Nie Li found that the city gate was heavily guarded.
The Murong family definitely wouldn't let the matter rest before the culprit was caught. After a routine inspection, Nie Li and the others smoothly entered the Song Capital and arrived at Shadow Killer's stronghold. At this moment, there was no one in the mansion. The other three hadn't arrived yet.
"My Lord, they're here." Nie Li settled the others down and sat in the courtyard. He lazily leaned on a recliner and basked in the sun. "Lord Ghost Emissary, you're really in the mood for leisure." The other three commanders brought their subordinates and rushed in.
Seeing Nie Li leisurely lying down, the other three had different expressions. They were here to carry out a mission. Nie Li was too optimistic!
"What else could I do? You guys haven't arrived yet. How would I dare to act alone?" Nie Li closed his eyes and bathed in the sun.
Yan Kuo took the lead and said, "Alright, now that everyone is together, let's discuss the plan!" Nie Li slowly stood up from the chair and waved his hand. Nie Li's subordinates took the recliner away.
"Du Ze is currently in prison. It's difficult for us to attack directly. Although we have a map of the prison, Du Ze's identity is special. He will definitely be heavily guarded. This operation will be very difficult," Yan Kuo said simply. Prince Jingyang had already sent the map of the prison to Shadow Killer.
"Then our only chance is to rob the prisoner during the escort," Elder Wu said.
"Then, now is the time to investigate the place the prisoner will pass through and set up an ambush in advance."
"Nie Li, I'll leave this to you." Old Wu directly said. His tone carried a trace of command and contempt, which made Nie Li a little uncomfortable. "Why aren't you speaking?" Seeing that Nie Li didn't answer, Old Wu's face was filled with dissatisfaction.
"I don't want to go. I'll do my own thing." Nie Li glanced at Old Wu. Old Wu felt a chill down his spine from Nie Li's glare. Nie Li's gaze contained a powerful pressure. Old Wu felt as if a ferocious beast was staring at him.
"Alright, then tell me what you're doing." Old Man Wu was frightened by Nie Li. With Nie Li's unyielding attitude, he didn't have the confidence to suppress Nie Li. Nie Li's current strength isn't any weaker than the three of them.
"I'm going to the prison," Nie Li said. "Hahahahaha, with your strength, bringing these people to the prison is the same as sending them to their deaths." Hearing Nie Li's words, Old Wu's eyes were filled with ridicule. Nie Li is underestimating the prison too much.
"Ghost Emissary, do you know that although the Song Capital has a government residence, the prison isn't in the government residence. Instead, it's next to Tianshu Pavilion. There's an entire Patrol Envoy guarding that place. Our strength isn't enough." Yan Kuo did not follow Elder Wu's advice. Instead, he kindly advised Elder Wu. After all, the strength of the Inspector was much stronger than them. Besides, Tianshu Pavilion was very close to the imperial palace. Once there was any movement, the army in the town would arrive.
"Don't worry, I have my ways," Nie Li said confidently. It was best to be close to Tianshu Pavilion. He could work together with Tianshu Pavilion to make some news.
"Alright, I hope you can achieve some results." Hearing Nie Li's words, Yan Kuo didn't try to persuade him anymore. The four of them weren't particularly close. They were just people who were bound together to complete Bu Gui's mission.
"Then I'll take my leave first. You guys take your time." Nie Li didn't even look back as he turned and left with his men. "Captain Yan, look at him. What is he doing? He's too arrogant." Li Shu looked at Nie Li with some dissatisfaction. She pouted, her coquettish appearance tempting the man beside her.
Nie Li didn't want to be entangled with them. He would make decisions for himself. When Nie Li returned to his room with his subordinates, the Seven Kill Token in his arms lit up. Why would they suddenly contact him at this time? Nie Li hid the Seven Kill Token and left after leaving a few words to the Demon Apprentice. After making sure that no one was following him, Nie Li went straight to Tianshu Pavilion.
He put on his mask and entered Tianshu Pavilion. "Seven Kill, please hurry to the library." Just as Nie Li entered Tianshu Pavilion, a deep voice came from all directions. Nie Li went straight to the library. Elder Gou had been waiting for him for a long time.
"I heard that the Shadow Killer's mission this time is to rescue Du Ze." Elder Gou seemed to have expected this. Nie Li didn't expect Elder Gou to know. Didn't that mean that he had his own people in the Shadow Killer?
"Yes, the mission this time is to rescue the Imperial Uncle." Nie Li didn't ask. Since Elder Gou didn't want to say the name of the person who provided the information, Nie Li wouldn't ask. Nie Li also shared all the information he could get so far.
"Pledge to die? It seems that Zhao Qining can't bear it anymore. But he probably didn't expect that one of the people he sent this time is my man. Boy, this time it depends on your performance. If you do well, the Emperor will reward you greatly, "Elder Gou said.
"Elder Gou, just give me the order." Nie Li took the initiative to ask.
"Don't you think it's strange? Why do you want to kill Du Ze at this time? "Elder Gou looked at Nie Li. "It's to force Prince Jingyang to take action," Nie Li said without thinking. If he wanted someone to die, why would he do it at this time?
"Yes, last time the Black Mountain Stockade incident was also to weaken Prince Jingyang's forces. This time it's almost the same. It's to reduce his forces. Of course, I'm not talking about the Shadow Killer. After all, the main characters in this mission are definitely not you. "Elder Gou's words had a deeper meaning, which was that Prince Jingyang would still send people.
"Then why did he send the Shadow Killer?" Nie Li asked doubtfully. Since there were stronger helpers, why did he send them? "You are just cannon fodder. When the time comes, there will be experts fighting. As for why, you will understand later." Elder Gou didn't explain clearly.
Instead, he left a little suspense for Nie Li.
"Then what do you need me to do?" Nie Li asked. His strength might play a little role in it.
"Tonight, you go into the prison and take a person away. Of course, this prisoner is definitely not Du Ze. We will arrange a person with a good identity. On the day of the execution, when everyone is fighting, you take Du Ze away and kill him. As for Prince Jingyang, we will send a disguise expert to cooperate with you. "Elder Gou finished the plan.
"Understood." Nie Li nodded.
"You can act according to the circumstances. This is an opportunity to help you further your position under Prince Jingyang. "
"Well, you can leave now! Don't worry, I will help you in the dark. " After Elder Gou finished speaking, he asked Nie Li to leave. Nie Li left Tianshu Pavilion and wandered around. It seemed that he was taking a stroll, but Nie Li secretly looked in the direction of the prison. It was indeed very close to Tianshu Pavilion, and there were many soldiers guarding the door.
Nie Li made a simple note and returned to Shadow Killer's place. There were very few people in the house. They should have gone out to perform tasks. Nie Li called the Demon Apprentice and asked him to inform the people to rest well.
That very night, Nie Li gathered everyone in the courtyard. The other three Commanders were also attracted by the commotion over here. "Lord Ghost Emissary, are you so eager?" Li Shu teased. Nie Li was too arrogant. He dared to break the prison without doing anything.
"If I don't complete the task, I can't sleep. After all, this head is hanging on my waist. If I'm not careful, it will fall to the ground. "Nie Li mocked back. He didn't even look at the other three and directly led the team into the night.
Tianshu Pavilion was dark as if there was no one in the building. However, Nie Li knew how many people were hidden in the building. Any one of them was enough to give them a headache.
"Lord, it's over there." The Demon Apprentice pointed in the direction of the prison. Nie Li signaled the people behind him to follow him. He quietly bypassed Tianshu Pavilion. "Kid, you can kill the guards." Just as Nie Li was running towards the prison, Elder Gou's voice sounded in his ears.
"In a moment, kill them for me." Nie Li instructed. Since Elder Gou said so, Nie Li had to act more realistically.
"Okay." The people behind saw Nie Li's order and their blood was aroused.
"Who is it?" When the guards saw the large number of people coming from afar, they immediately raised the spears in their hands and entered a state of alert. However, Nie Li and his group were extremely fast, especially Nie Li. The Great Bloody Hand had already gathered in his palm and he broke the spears with a single palm strike. His palm landed on the guards' faces and the Blood Qi gathered on their heads. Like a balloon that had burst, fresh blood splattered everywhere. Nie Li directly absorbed the fresh blood and used another Great Bloody Hand. The surrounding guards died one after another under Nie Li's palm. The more people that died, the more Blood Qi there was. The power of Nie Li's Great Bloody Hand grew stronger with each palm strike.
When the subordinates saw Nie Li being so brave, their morale was naturally high. Nie Li's eyes were bloodshot. Ever since he made a breakthrough, he had not properly felt the changes brought about by this body. Now, it seemed that it was really great. This body was simply perfect.
The blood Qi of countless corpses gathered in Nie Li's palms. His hands were crimson red and the rich blood Qi was constantly rolling. His hands moved and countless bloody hands flew in the air, falling on the guards. Some were injured lightly and some were killed heavily.
For a moment, blood flowed like a river and corpses were everywhere. Nie Li took the lead. His mask and clothes were stained with blood. He looked like a demon who had crawled out of hell.
"Let's go." Nie Li saw that the guards at the door were all dead, so he led everyone into the prison.
The inside was brightly lit. Oil lamps and torches were placed on both sides of the narrow passage. Nie Li and the others could only walk side by side in several rows.
"Da Da Da" The messy footsteps echoed in the silent prison. After walking down the long stairs, the space suddenly became more spacious. The air in the prison was a little humid, but there was no smell.
"Since someone dares to break in." Suddenly, a voice came from the side. Nie Li turned around and saw a man in his thirties. He was wearing an official's uniform and had two strands of mustache at the corner of his mouth. He looked very wretched and was holding a small axe in his hand.
At this moment, he was playing with the axe as he looked at Nie Li and the others.
