Chapter 13 The Legendary Killer Organization

At daybreak, the leader in black came into the yard.

Just a simple wave of the hand, words are precious.

"set off!"

All the killers quickly gathered and followed him out one after another.

There was no one on the street at this time. The curfew had not yet ended and people did not dare to run around on the street. All they could hear was the "clattering" footsteps of a group of men in black.

When they arrived at the south gate of Yongchang City, everyone stepped forward, pulled out the crossbeam, opened the city gate, and found a suspension bridge outside.

Without waiting for everyone to lower the suspension bridge, the leader in black jumped up, drew his sword, stared at one point, and hit the iron chain of the suspension bridge three times in a row.

"Canglanglang!"

The iron chain broke with a sound.

Then the leader in black did the same thing, and the iron chain on the other side was also cut, and the suspension bridge collapsed.

The killers looked at each other, not daring to disturb their leader from showing off.

You are good at martial arts, you are awesome, just be happy!
The leader in black looked at the long sword in his hand. There was a rice-sized gap on the sword body. His face frowned slightly and he threw it into the moat.

Lin Shan in the crowd noticed this scene, his eyes moved, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

The officers and soldiers on duty on the city wall felt like crying but had no tears left when they saw a group of men in black walking away.

If you want to leave, just go ahead. No one is stopping you. Why are you destroying things? Are all masters so willful?

……

The team went south for about ten miles and pulled out a dozen escort vehicles from the bushes. They were the ones that Lin's Escort Agency escorted for the government yesterday! They were probably dragged here by the killers overnight yesterday, and they were probably going to be delivered to their employers again today.

Lin Shan followed the team closely, and as the convoy gradually moved southward, the direction seemed to be Zangke County.

After walking about thirty or forty miles, they came to a remote and uninhabited place with an abandoned inn nearby. The leader in black ordered them to rest there.

Everyone didn't ask too many questions and found a place to sit down. Lin Shan and Scarface also separated and consciously stayed away from each other.

After noon, everyone took out dry food and water bags from their bags and ate in silence.

……

They waited for several hours and when it was getting dark, they saw dust rising from the official road in the direction they came from.

"drive!"

"drive!"

"Shut up!"

A group of cavalrymen in iron armor came running and dismounted in front of the inn. There were about twenty or thirty cavalrymen, followed by forty or fifty servants.

The killers on Nightingale's side became nervous, and some even put their hands on their weapons.

The black-clad leader paid no attention to the tense situation and stepped forward to ask, "Who is Yang Juncheng?"

A middle-aged man walked out from the crowd opposite. He looked like a legal advisor, with a black hat on his head, extraordinary bearing, and a smile on his face. Soldiers were guarding him from all sides.

"I am Yang Huaili, and the person opposite me is the Nightingale River Guardian?"

The black-clad leader nodded without further ado, and pointed to the escort vehicle behind him. County Magistrate Yang nodded slightly and gave instructions to his attendants.

“Inspect the goods!”

"Yes!"

A soldier came forward to check the escort vehicle, turning it over and over as if he was confirming something.

Lin Shan, who had practiced innate martial arts, had sharper eyes and ears than other people. He stood with the killers, watching the middle-aged civil servant and Protector Jiang talking to each other in front of him, and suddenly remembered something.

If he remembered correctly, the second-in-command of the Qinghe County civil service, the Qinghe County Magistrate, was named Yang Huaili, and he was the County Magistrate's most trusted confidant.

"Hiss~" Lin Shan took a deep breath. At that time, this batch of goods from Lin's Escort Agency was personally selected by the county magistrate, but now the county magistrate's confidant came to the killer organization Nightingale to pick up the goods.

Is it
Did the county magistrate embezzle the materials? Did he hire a killer organization to act as robbers and turn the public supplies into his own?

The more Lin Shan thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He slowly outlined the entire hypothesis and instantly figured out everything in his mind.

Good man! Is the world so dark now? The local county magistrate is so powerful that he can do whatever he wants. This kind of abuse of power for personal gain is almost out in the open!

Looking at the armored warhorses on the opposite side, Lin Shan couldn't help but feel sad for the dead Wang the escort leader, as well as the hundreds of escort agency guys who lost their lives for no apparent reason, and indirectly died at the hands of their employers.

I wonder what role the Lin family plays in this?
With so many cavalrymen and the county magistrate coming all the way to Zangke County, how could the Lin family, as a wealthy and prominent family in Qinghe County, not know about this?
Lin Shan felt a chill in his heart.

Abandoned son!

They had long been abandoned by the Lin family. The Lin family must have reached some agreement with the government. This batch of goods must be of great importance, and they were not even willing to sacrifice the life of a top-notch master!
And if the escorts returned to Qinghe County alive, what awaited them would be...
Lin Shan thought of Master Pu, and the old man's unrestrained demeanor before he left. He held fifty taels of silver in his arms, and was filled with a smile of longing, longing for the beautiful dream of retiring to the underworld to enjoy his old age.
"I hope I'm wrong." Lin Shan closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

……

About a quarter of an hour later, the handover was completed, and the grooms and servants drove the escort carriage and followed the cavalry, disappearing in the billowing smoke and dust.

The sun had just set at this moment, but Protector Jiang still waved his hand.

"set off!"

The killers followed him and continued south.

It was three o'clock at night.

After running for fifty miles, all the killers were out of breath and very tired, but they did not dare to complain that Protector Jiang was running too fast.

At this time, a tall city stood in front of them, with a wall of ten meters high! The braziers on the gate tower were brightly lit, and the arrow turrets were neatly arranged. The plaque at the gate had the two characters "Zangke" on it.

"Zangke County City!"

This is the important town of the Song Dynasty in the southwest. Further south is the territory of the Nanman Kingdom. It is said that in recent years, the Nanman people have also been learning the system of the Song Dynasty and even established their own dynasty, known as the Dali Kingdom.

In the past few years, they even captured Guangnan County, which was further south of Zangke County. In order to curb the deterioration of the situation, the court allocated funds to renovate the Zangke County city and use it as an important frontline town to resist the southern barbarians from moving north.

In recent years, the situation has become much more peaceful, and Qiangke has become an economic hub, connecting the trade between the two sides.

……

All the men in black waited quietly outside the city without a single noise.

About ten breaths later, hanging baskets were lowered from the city wall. The killers below the city were not surprised and were carried up in batches.

Lin Shan also came to the city wall and saw a guard talking to Protector Jiang with a slightly apologetic smile on his face.

After the two chatted for a while, Protector Jiang was the first to get down from the city wall, and then a group of assassins sneaked into the city under the cover of night. Lin Shan followed the large group, turning left and right in the streets and alleys, for fear of being left behind.

The city of Zangke is very big, and when we were almost lost, we finally arrived at an ancient building. There was a plaque on the door with three big characters "Jing'an Hall" inscribed on it. Everyone walked in one after another as if they were familiar with the place.

After entering the lobby, I realized that inside and outside were completely two different worlds.

Carved nanmu, wafting sandalwood, bright lights, and bustling voices.

There were assassins in black all around, people were coming and going, shoulder to shoulder, estimated to be hundreds of people. From time to time, someone jumped in from the window, and someone went down the sewer, each of them came and went in a hurry, wearing a face mask and looking like they were keeping strangers away.

Lin Shan looked around. There were layers of fences around the building. In the middle of the lobby, there were several accountants who were registering or accepting consultations. Behind them was a huge curtain with a list of various tasks:
"Kill the Guangnan hero Zhang Taimang with a sniper, and get 20 contribution points."

"Intercept the magistrate of Zhiyuan County from taking office, regardless of life or death, 15 contribution points."

"Recover General Qiao's daughter without causing any damage, 10 contribution points."

"Assassinate the son of the Dali Kingdom's Chief Censor, contribution points 10."

"Explore the hiding place of the seven bandits in Mengshan, contribution points 5."

……

Lin Shan was amazed by what he saw. There were so many tasks listed, involving all aspects of the martial arts world, military and politics. He suddenly felt that Nightingale was not a simple person.

Is this the legendary killer organization?
