Chapter 336 A fish slipped through the net
Complaints are fine, but since we have come across it, we naturally cannot let go of the opportunity.

Chu Qing simply waited on the roof for a while.

It was not until Li Shengxing walked out of the room quietly and silently, his figure gradually moving away under the cover of the night, that Chu Qing followed him slowly.

However, what was somewhat different from what Chu Qing thought was that the direction Li Shengxing was heading was not inside Tianyin Mansion.

Instead, he groped his way out.

The Tianyin Mansion is heavily guarded, which is naturally not a big deal for Chu Qing, but for Li Shengxing, it is no different from a dangerous place.

After walking out of Tianyin Mansion with great difficulty and stepping onto the main road of Tianlai City, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, he figured out the direction and took off again, at a much faster speed.

Chu Qing followed Li Shengxing with a frown on his face, but he was surprised in his heart. This guy was running around in a nightgown at night... Wasn't he going to carry out an assassination?

I thought his target was someone in Tianyin Mansion...

Li Shengxing did not notice that there was a Chu Qing behind him, and he was not that cautious, stopping from time to time to test whether there was someone following him.

In this way, we arrived at the south of the city.

There is an inn in the south of the city, it is a century-old inn, named "Sun's Inn", which is simple and straightforward.

Li Shengxing identified the entrance of the inn, then flew up and landed on the roof. He took two steps on the roof, as if to confirm the room, then leaped down from the roof and entered a room.

Chu Qing also took advantage of the situation and fell from the sky, slowly landing on the roof of the inn.

Then Li Shengxing's voice came from the room:

"You knew that I was in Tianyin Mansion, but you didn't send a message earlier or later. Why did you send a message at this time? What if someone from Tianyin Mansion finds out?"

"They only found you walking in the night in black clothes. Who knows what you did? You can just find an excuse to fool people... After all, the Tianyin Mansion is a mess now. Even if someone wants to investigate, it is natural.

"Do you think you're the only one running around in your nightgown these past two days?

"The law does not punish everyone. Tianyin Mansion cannot do anything to you at this time."

The person on the other side spoke slowly, his voice neither anxious nor impatient, and he didn't care about Li Shengxing's questioning at all.

Li Shengxing snorted:
"You are looking for me so urgently, is there no one at the Mirror of Evil?"

"There are so many experts in the Niejingtai, how could there be no one? It's just because you are the most suitable."

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of breaking wind, which eventually dissipated in front of Li Shengxing.

The person on the other side spoke again:
"Master Heizi has secured a deal, come and take a look."

After hearing this, Chu Qing finally understood...

After all this time, it turned out that Li Shengxing was walking around in the middle of the night in black not to assassinate... but to meet a contact.

They had no missions before, and only got them at this time.

What the hell...

Chu Qing grinned, feeling speechless.

I thought it was a good thing that Li Shengxing went out tonight and I happened to catch him. I followed him all the way and just found out the situation.

If this went according to the original plan and they kidnapped Li Shengxing, even if they beat the shit out of him, he wouldn't know who they were going to assassinate, let alone how many companions he had.

Just when Chu Qing was thinking about this, Li Shengxing's words made Chu Qing's eyes suddenly widen.

There was confusion in his voice:

"Han San? Who is this? He's worth a lot! Three thousand taels of gold!?"

Chu Qing on the roof: "???"

If I remember correctly, Han San should be his pseudonym, right?

And judging by the situation of Liu Qingyan and the others, there is no master with this name in the world, right?
So, this time, the target of the Evil Mirror is... me! ?
Chu Qing grinned, but if the target was himself, how could he trigger the commission?

There are basic requirements for triggering delegation.

Clients, goals, and rewards.

These are the three most basic elements...

Since Chu Qing is the target of Nie Jingtai, he can become the client, but what does it mean for the client to entrust himself?
Just when I was in a dilemma, I heard the contact person in the room say:
“This person… is a little weird.

“He first appeared in Tongtian Town.

“The person who was killed actually had something to do with you… One of the creatures you raised escaped and wanted to curry favor with you. When I met him in Tongtian Town, I wanted to capture him, but was stopped by Han San.

“Not only that, he used a pair of chopsticks to pierce the soles of the two men’s feet.

“It can be seen that his inner strength is extraordinary.

“In Tongtian Town, he traveled in a caravan, passing through Tongyao City and arriving at Xiaohan Valley.

"That's right. The night he stayed in Tongyao City was the night your Qiushi Villa was razed to the ground."

"...So, he was the one who destroyed my Qiushi Villa?"

There was a hint of murderous intent in Li Shengxing's voice.

You should know that Qiushi Villa is not just a simple summer resort.

Once the secret is exposed, he will go from being a respected hero to a pervert hated by everyone.

This is under the premise that Chu Qing doesn't know that he is practicing magic... If the other party knew about that, he would no longer have a place to stand in the world.

"do not know."

The contact's answer interrupted Li Shengxing's thoughts:

“No one knows who did what that night.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence? Who knows...

“After he arrived at Xiaohan Valley, there was nothing much to say. No one knew whether he had done anything or not…

“However, after the meeting in Xiaohan Valley ended, he went to Lixing Mansion.

“He used his body-protecting magic skills all the way and rushed forward recklessly… The body of Han Qiuze from the Han family was discovered later, and he looked very miserable.

"I don't know how much torture he suffered before he died."

"So, what is this commission?"

"Han Qiujun of the Split Star Mansion came here personally."

The contact person said:
“This Han San is very skilled in martial arts, and although he hasn’t shown much so far, he can never be underestimated.

“This person… to be honest, always reminds me of the Third Young Master who appeared in Nanling.

“It just so happens that this man is called Han San. I wonder if there is any connection between the two.
“From our perspective, whether the three prefectures fight or not has nothing to do with us… and for Han Qiujun, Han San and he have a blood feud, so when he comes to Tianyin Prefecture, he naturally wants to help Tianyin Prefecture.

“Whether or not Tianyin Mansion will fall in the end, Han San must die.

"In order to ensure the best of all, we have spent a huge amount of treasure to let our Nie Jingtai show up on the day of the conference and kill Han San.

"In addition, there are three more helpers who will arrive within two days."

"Is there any help?"

Li Shengxing sneered.

"You can't kill him with your own ability."

The contact person said:

“But among the three helpers this time, one is a newcomer.

“It’s a good opportunity to use Han San to find out more about this person.

"If your heart is not with me, the Mirror of Evil, then you three can just kill him as well."

"The Evil Mirror is simply committing an evil deed."

Li Shengxing smiled and said, "If that person were to really stand on the evil mirror and take a look, I'm afraid the gods and Buddhas would be shocked and ask in horror how could there be such a heartless person in the world?

“I wonder how many people were deceived by the saying ‘There is no good man in front of the mirror of evil’ and died without knowing why?

"I wonder if anyone has escaped this reckoning over the years?"

The person on the other side was silent for a moment:
"Have."

"Oh?"

Li Shengxing was stunned. He had just asked casually, but who knew there was actually such a thing:
"Who?"

"I don't know him... But I heard from Lord Heizi that he was originally Baiqi's subordinate...

“Moreover, Bai Qi was extremely optimistic about him and taught him many skills necessary for an assassin.

“However, his heart was not with me, and he eventually went against my will… He should have died a year ago, but in the past year, it seems that he has completely disappeared.

"Even if my evil mirror has its tentacles all over the world, it is difficult to find this person's trace. It is really strange."

"There really is such a person. If there is a chance, I would like to meet him..."

"I hope he is smart enough to hide his identity and maybe have a good ending. Otherwise, he will definitely die."

There was a hint of indifference in the contact's voice.

Li Shengxing did not stay any longer and waved his hand:
"gone."

Chu Qing, who had listened to the entire conversation, just sat on the roof, watching Li Shengxing climb out of the window and head towards Tianyin Mansion, but he was not in a hurry.

I just thought about it silently.

In the conversation just now, there were a few points that concerned him.

The contact person below knows Heizi.

And Chu Qing was not particularly unfamiliar with this name.

I still remember that after killing Shen Juke in Fanjing City, Qi Zhenhai, a master of Liehuotang stationed in Fanjing City, once told Chu Qing that Shen Juke’s contact was this man named Heizi.

White chess pieces, black chess pieces... Chu Qing always felt that there might be some connection between the two.

However, during the time he worked as a killer, he had never dealt with this man named Heizi.

Secondly, the buyer of the Nie Jingtai was Han Qiujun.

Obviously, up to now, Han Qiujun's main energy has been on Tianyin Mansion. Although he has attached a certain degree of importance to this unknown person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, he does not really take him that seriously.

That’s a good thing…

The second one is the newcomer mentioned by the contact person just now.

This made Chu Qing subconsciously think of Chu Tian.

If this newcomer is Chu Tian, ​​what should we choose next?

Should he keep this kid as he is, or help him and get rid of Han San's pseudonym so that Chu Tian can successfully infiltrate the Nie Jingtai?

This matter involves Chu Tian's life and cannot be taken lightly.

As for the last key...it is the task chain that is not on the list this time.

After listening to their entire conversation, a commission popped up in front of Chu Qing.

[Commission: No one is on the list! (Kill all the people on the evil list!)]

[Current stage: Four.]

[Current progress: zero.]

[Task Reward: Choose one of the optional martial arts treasure chests. ]

[Stage Reward: A random clue treasure chest. ]

[Rewards for all stages: a martial arts treasure chest of your choice. ]

[Currently available treasure chest: None.]

This commission broke the three basic elements that Chu Qing had originally speculated. Without anyone having commissioned it, the commission suddenly popped up.

Chu Qing pondered that the biggest possibility was that this time, the target of the assassination by Nie Jingtai was himself.

The matter involves me. Even though my system is a dumb one, I can still be flexible.

Not only that, Chu Qing once again opened the commission that Yu Shiliu had given him before.

Nothing happened.

This shows that these two commissions can exist independently at the same time.

"Does this count as exploiting a loophole in the system?"

Chu Qing thought about it, and asked the system in his heart, is it possible to take advantage of the loophole in this way?
The system remained silent, and Chu Qing felt that this was probably a default.

Standing up... Chu Qing didn't leave in a hurry, but flew into the room.

There was a person in the room, who was unbuttoning his coat and about to take a rest.

Hearing the noise, he turned back:

"Why are you back again..."

Before he could finish his words, he froze on the spot.

Chu Qing smiled slightly:
"Why don't you speak?"

"who are you?"

The arrival of a stranger gave the contact person a bad feeling.

One hand quietly reached the back, and then he exerted a little force with his feet. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he felt a sharp pain in the sole of his foot.

Chu Qing already had one foot on it.

The sound of bones breaking was clear to the ears.

"you!"

The contact person suddenly looked up and heard Chu Qing say with a smile:
“Although the contact’s martial arts skills are not as strong as the killer’s, he has many methods.

“Besides, they are all very cunning.

“You hid your hands behind your back to tell me that you were planning to spread poison, but in fact, you might not have anything in your hands.

“But your shoes… are hollow inside.

"Relying on thin wood for support, one should use internal energy to relieve pressure while walking. But at the critical moment, once the force is exerted, not only can the thin wood be shattered and the foot can be lifted to rub the ground, but the sole of the shoe can also be torn apart, causing the real deadly poison inside to fly out.

"I've seen this little trick a few years ago. It's unnecessary."

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and opened the dagger that suddenly appeared in front of him. Then he hit the contact with his shoulder. The contact groaned and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

I felt that all the internal energy in my body was dispersed by this blow.

The next moment, Chu Qing reached out and grabbed his collar:

"Come with me."

The contact person was helpless and wanted to struggle and leave some clues.

But Chu Qing had long seen through his seemingly flustered but actually orderly methods, and saw the mystery at a glance.

He casually erased all the clues he left behind... This time the contact was finally confused:
"You...who are you?"

"I am the one who hid well, and if I keep hiding, I will have a good ending... the fish that slipped through the net."

Chu Qing smiled and said:

"By the way, my current identity in Lingbei is... Han San."
