"Ah!" A cry of alarm rang out, but it was as if someone had snuffed out the sound the moment it was uttered. This cry of alarm became extremely short. The other didn't even have the time to scream before he fell to the ground with a thud.
Lu Ping and Su Tang went over and saw two soldiers in the same uniform of the Nine Gates Patrol Division had been killed by Lu Ping.
Su Tang frowned.
"They shouldn't be from the Nine Gates Patrol Division, or this is just their surface identity." Su Tang said. The Black Army Empire had completely experienced Lu Ping's strength. Even if they wanted to do something secretly, it was too naive to hand it over to the Nine Gates Patrol Division.
"Not important." Lu Ping shook his head.
"Oh?"
"Morin and I made an agreement. Once something like this happens, they will leave a trace for me." Lu Ping said.
"I see." Su Tang nodded. She was going to search the two to see if there was any information, but she stopped after hearing Lu Ping's words. She understood what Lu Ping meant. It didn't matter if it was the Black Army Empire or any other forces who captured Morin and the others. Lu Ping would follow the traces left by Morin and the others to save them.
"Here it is." With just a few words, Lu Ping found something behind a bush in the forest. The trace left by the soul power was the method Morin and Fang Yizhu had agreed with him.
"Let's go." Following the direction of the trace, Lu Ping and Su Tang began to track.
…
…
Inside the Black Army City.
The curfew made the whole city silent. At this time, other than those big shots who could ignore the curfew, the spies deliberately scattered in the city by the Black Army were still active in the city.
Every secret agent had their own duties, monitoring their respective areas of jurisdiction. Any situation found would be reported to their superiors through a unified channel, and then the higher-ups would sort out the information sent by various parties.
Ren Ya was one of the many spies. Just now, he received an order from his superiors to temporarily stop monitoring the entire city.
Everyone knew very well why this surveillance had started. Now that it had finally stopped, did it mean that Lu Ping had been executed?
Ren Ya didn't know.
Every spy only had a pair of eyes. They only knew what they needed to pay attention to, but rarely did they know why they needed to pay attention. Everyone's secret investigations and secret investigations were limited to what they knew, and those who could gather a large amount of information from multiple sources were always people of a higher level. The higher the level, the richer and more comprehensive the information resources in their hands.
Ren Ya was one of the lowest level secret agents, and it was not easy for him to become such a low level secret agent. A secret agent knew too many secrets, so he had to be a reliable person. Moreover, if they were to monitor everything, who would monitor the spies? This was a problem that could go on endlessly without being solved.
Thus, there was the current branch structure of the secret agents. The information a single secret agent could grasp was ultimately one-sided and narrow. Even if there was a leak, the loss would always be controlled to the minimum.
It was extremely difficult to become a taller and thicker branch in such a branching structure. Ren Ya had been a secret agent for a long time. He really wanted to improve, but he didn't see any hope. He could only rely on his current limited identity to obtain as much information as possible.
Now that the surveillance had stopped and there were no new orders, their work was considered to have come to an end. But the prohibition order had not been lifted. Even if he was a secret agent, he couldn't violate the prohibition order without receiving a mission. Ren Ya quickly left the area he was in charge of and returned to his residence. After entering the house, he confirmed three times inside and outside: no one followed him, no one sneaked into his room when he was not there.
He went to the kitchen to get some cold leftovers and a cup of hot tea. Ren Ya ate slowly. He was waiting, waiting for the prohibition order to be lifted, but he didn't expect to wait for an hour.
His intuition told him that this wasn't normal. Even the secret agents had left, so why did the prohibition order still last for an hour? Didn't this one hour prohibition order mean that they, the secret agents, were all forbidden? What was it that even the secret agents had to be hidden?
Ren Ya went out of his house. Dressed in casual clothes, he was no different from an ordinary citizen of Black Army City. Walking out of his alley, he saw that the streets were gradually regaining their liveliness. People were discussing today's incident while still rushing about for their own survival.
Ren Ya went straight to the bathhouse he frequented on Dong Street. The bathhouse had just resumed business, but the water was already boiled early in the morning. Ren Ya took off his clothes and entered the misty bathtub. Very quickly, he disappeared from sight.
A few minutes later, Ren Ya had already changed his clothes and appeared in a large mansion along the shore of Xiong River. When he walked to the backyard, everyone who saw him would salute him.
Here, he was no longer the lowest level secret agent in Black Army City. Instead, he was a bamboo tip from the Assassin Alliance's Black Army Department, nicknamed Tian Ya. It was said that as long as a target was targeted by him, he would definitely be found even if they escaped to the ends of the world. His most famous assassination attempt was indeed completed on a reef island in the West Sea called "Tianya". From then on, he gained this nickname.
Even such an outstanding bamboo tip was only the lowest level secret agent in the Xuan Army Empire's Bureau of Military Affairs. The Assassin Alliance's infiltration was so pervasive that they couldn't do anything to the Black Army Empire's intelligence agency.
Coming to the backyard, Ren Ya quickly came to the fake mountain by the lake and bowed to the figure in front of him. "Greetings, Fan Leader."
The figure turned around, he looked like a very ordinary young master. This person's surname was Song Yu. To be able to be the fan leader of the Assassin Alliance's branch in Black Army Empire's capital city was enough to show his capabilities. Hearing Ren Ya's greeting, he turned around and smiled. "Tian Ya is here."
"Yes." Ren Ya responded and his gaze landed on a lady standing beside the leader of the Black Army City. His eyes lit up.
"Let's get to know each other. This is our Jialing Division's fan leader." Song Yu said.
Ren Ya hurriedly stopped admiring the beauty and bowed to Jialing.
The ranks of the Assassin League were very clear. If it was her subordinates, Li Xiang Jun might occasionally be a little more courteous in consideration of winning over their hearts. However, towards this kind of people from other branches, even if it was Bamboo Jian, she did not have the slightest bit of pretense and only nodded her head.
"Li Fentou came here to chase after Lu Ping. What information do you have? "Song Yu said.
"After Lu Ping entered the city today, he killed his way into the council from the mouth of the Nanjiang. Then, he went to the Protectorate Nation. That's all I know." Ren Ya said.
"Lu Ping has already left the city. Many people saw it. When did Brother Tian Ya say this?" Li Xiang Jun didn't think much of it.
"Lu Ping has already left the city?" Ren Ya was surprised. Then, he heard Song Yu say to Li Xiang Jun, "Tian Ya entered the Privy Council and had to follow the rules of the Black Army's secret agents. So there are some things he might not know. "
"When did Lu Ping leave the city?" Ren Ya asked.
"Less than an hour ago." Song Yu said.
Less than an hour ago, the secret agents had retreated, but the curfew order hadn't been lifted yet, so Ren Ya could only stay at home obediently. After that, he went straight to the city. It was no wonder that he didn't know that Lu Ping had left the city even though the people at the mouth of the Nanjiang River had seen him.
"The Nanjiang Estuary didn't take any action against Lu Ping. The Nine Gates Patrol Division and the Black Army Navy all received orders not to stop Lu Ping. "Song Yu continued to explain the current situation to Tian Ya.
"Why is it like this? Did they reach some agreement? "Ren Ya said.
"We haven't received any information yet." Song Yu said.
Ren Ya was the only spy who had infiltrated the Bureau of Military Affairs, but the Assassin Alliance had also infiltrated the other departments. According to the information sent by various departments, it seemed like the Black Army had reached an agreement with Lu Ping, but the reason was still unknown.
"That's not important anymore." Li Xiang Jun suddenly said.
"Yes." Song Yu nodded and explained to Ren Ya, "Leader Li has captured three of Lu Ping's companions. They will threaten Lu Ping to fall into our trap. They are waiting for you to prepare to surround and kill him. This Lu Ping clearly has shocking strength."
Only then did Ren Ya know that the group didn't want the information from the Black Army's secret agents, but the combat power of his bamboo tip. However, Lu Ping barged into the Black Army City and left safely in the end. Ren Ya really couldn't agree that there was something fishy about this.
"With hostages in hand, it shouldn't be too difficult. Just in case. "Song Yu smiled. Li Xiang Jun, who was at the side, also laughed, her beautiful face filled with the joy of revenge. But at this moment, a subordinate ran into the backyard.
"Reporting to the two leaders." The person who came was from the Black Army City branch, but he already recognized Li Xiang Jun and naturally wouldn't ignore this leader.
"Speak." Song Yu said.
"Qing Guo and Sparrow Tongue, who were waiting for Lu Ping at the mouth of the Nanjiang River, are both dead," the newcomer said.
