Chapter 535 Assassination
The cold air emitted by the move of Snow Embracing Ice Plum not only turned the entire swamp into a glacier, but also disrupted the airflow within a radius of dozens of miles, causing the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky to quickly gather together and finally condense into hail and fall down.

The crisis of dam bursting around Four Seasons Town has been temporarily resolved.

The spring rain, which had lasted for more than half a month, finally stopped at this moment.

The thick clouds dispersed, and the sun reappeared, the sunshine was warm and comfortable.

Lu Ping was in a good mood because he had solved a crisis, and he walked forward.

……

In Chaonan City, the Northern Song general who led the troops stationed there looked at the report from his soldiers with a look of astonishment, shock, anger, gloom and disbelief on his face.

"What exactly is going on?!"

"How come a flood suddenly turned into a glacier?!"

"This general has been planning a water attack for many days, but it failed just because of this strange astronomical phenomenon?!"

If Lu Ping was here at this moment, he would immediately understand that the dam burst just now was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!

Not only was it a man-made disaster, but it was also a water attack launched for the purpose of war.

Unfortunately, the flood is now frozen, so the water attack strategy is no longer effective.

Although Lu Ping's intervention unexpectedly saved the land and the people, the war will not end because of this. If the water attack fails today, there will be fire attacks and assaults tomorrow, which will inevitably cause great suffering to the people.

"God doesn't help me..."

"General, the water attack failed. What should we do next?"

"Go and invite those Jianghu people over, and tell them that I want to discuss with them how to repel the enemy."

"Yes!"

Half a day later, in the military tent, the Northern Song general looked at the two rows of people on the left and right in front of him and began his speech.

"As you all know, the Northern Song Dynasty is under attack from all sides, and we have been standing in the Chaonan City against the Southern Song army for two months, with nearly 20,000 casualties. If this continues, the war in the north will become more serious, so we must end this war quickly..."

The general stationed in Chaolin City was named Song. He did not have much talent, and only got this position commanding an army of 100,000 by relying on nepotism and his ability to curry favor with powerful officials.

He originally came here to gain military merit, but when he arrived he found that it was not easy to gain military merit, so now he is in an extremely embarrassing situation.

"Didn't I hear a few days ago that the general sent people to store water outside the city in preparation for a water attack?"

The person who spoke looked like a consumptive patient, but no one present dared to look down on him, because he had a famous name in the martial arts world - the number one swordsman of Mengzhen Hongxiu!

It was Su Mengzhen.

After the battle of the Seven Sacred Peaks, the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty's martial arts world changed drastically. Su Mengzhen took advantage of the situation and joined the Northern Song Emperor with the entire Jinfengxiyu Tower. As expected, he was highly valued and became the fourth knife in the hands of the Northern Song Emperor after Cai Jing's party, Shenhou Mansion, and Youqiao Group.

The Northern Song Dynasty was now in turmoil, and forces like the Shenhou Mansion were unable to cope with the situation, so the Northern Song Emperor ordered Su Mengzhen to come to Chaonan City to help repel the Southern Song army.

"It's a pity that the water attack failed!"

General Song waved his hand, not wanting to continue the topic, and only said: "Since the sky has cleared up today, we can only find another way. I intend to send out assassins to directly capture the enemy commander!"

"It's just that we only know how to fight, and we can't do this kind of Jianghu work, so we still need Mr. Su's people to help us."

Su Mengzhen sneered in his heart when he heard this: I don’t think you are very good at fighting...

Although he complained, Su Mengzhen did not oppose it.

After all, he is just a man of the world. Although his brain is better than that of an ordinary reckless man, he is not a general or military strategist who can command thousands of troops.

So Su Mengzhen couldn't think of a better method other than "assassination" and could only nod in agreement.

"Since we are going to take down the enemy commander, I think we don't need too many elite people to carry out the assassination!"

"The best method is to select a surprise attack force of three to five people, sneak into the city to carry out this plan, and then arrange twice as many people to support outside the city..."

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Su Mengzhen is very clear about this truth, so he will never put himself in danger unless it is absolutely necessary.

Faced with General Song's plan, his choice was to send someone who was strong enough, trustworthy, but not a pity to die in the end.

This person was the one who joined the Golden Wind and Rain Tower three months ago, and in just one month, he was recognized by Su Mengzhen and became the deputy tower owner and sworn brother.

Bai Choufei!
"Second brother, this task is left to you."

"Of course, I will go with you and meet you outside the city."

In this kind of plan, the person who carries out the assassination is certainly important, but the people who provide support and cover the rear are also quite critical, and their level of danger is no less than that of the assassin.

Su Mengzhen took the initiative to take on the task of picking up Bai Choufei, just to prove to him that he did not intentionally put him in danger.

"I understand."

Bai Chou flew up and took the military order: "General Song, big brother, leave the assassination to me, I will definitely complete this mission!"

Compared with his state on Leigushan Mountain that day, Bai Choufei's appearance did not change much, except that the arrogance and greed in his eyes had been restrained a lot.

But this was not because he was worn out by life, but because he hid these things deeper. "Hahaha... That's great!"

General Song felt relieved and smiled: "In this case, I hope Mr. Bai can start the action tonight. If Mr. Su needs anything, just let me know. I will prepare it thoroughly."

Su Mengzhen smiled faintly and said, "No need to prepare too much, a good meal with good wine and food will be enough."

"Understood, I'll have someone prepare it right away!"

"After that... I will wait for the heroes to return triumphantly in the city!"

At night, Su Mengzhen led the elite troops of Jinfengxiyu Tower secretly out of Chaonan City and rode southward.

Twenty miles takes less than fifteen minutes.

In a blink of an eye, the group arrived outside Wangbei City.

Because it is wartime, both Wangbei City and Chaonan City are now under lockdown and are on high alert.

However, this situation does not pose a problem for people in the martial arts world.

The five-man surprise attack team led by Bai Choufei were all elites from the Jinfengxiyu Tower. Not only did they have great martial arts skills, they also prepared climbing tools in advance. They quickly avoided the sight of the guards on the city wall and sneaked into the city.

Su Mengzhen took the remaining dozen people and stayed in the dense forest outside the city, patiently waiting for Bai Choufei and others to come back.

……

As soon as Bai Choufei and his companions entered the city, they locked onto the location of the general's mansion from the city map prepared in advance, and headed straight towards their destination.

Inside the general's mansion, the candlelight flickered, and in a moment a figure passed by like a crane. When he came to his senses again, Bai Choufei had already sneaked into the mansion with the surprise attack force without causing any noise.

"Separate your actions!!"

At the command, the surprise attack force immediately dispersed.

Bai Choufei rode his horse so fast that his figure was as ghostly as a ghost. Soon he noticed a servant who was on night guard. He dodged again and appeared behind the servant.

"who……"

Before the servant could scream or call for help, Bai Choufei blocked his mouth tightly, and he could only make sobbing sounds.

"I ask, you answer, or you die, if you understand, just blink."

The servant blinked desperately.

"Where is the General?"

The servant raised his right hand and pointed to the only light on in the backyard.

"What is that place??"

"Yes...it's the study." The servant replied stutteringly.

Bai Choufei knocked the man unconscious with a knife strike, then moved towards the study room with nimble movements.

When he came to the window, he first poked open the window paper and looked inside. Sure enough, he saw a burly man sitting at a desk, handling military affairs by candlelight.

"It's time for this person..."

Bai Choufei was overjoyed and broke into the room immediately.

Bang——! !

He turned over and spun in the air, circulating his internal energy and concentrating his finger strength.

At this time, Bai Choufei had already determined the target position, so all his actions were done in one go, without holding back at all, and his first move was his best skill -

The Twenty-Four Solar Terms: Jingzhe!
"The enemy will die!!"

With a crackling sound, Jingzhe broke the dream with a force as strong as thunder and faster than lightning. It seemed that the Southern Song general was about to die on the spot.

Sudden--

The atmosphere in the study suddenly changed, and then a strong and heavy internal force pressure fell from the sky.

“Oops… Not good!!”

Bai Choufei was a very shrewd person. The moment he felt the change in the atmosphere in the study, he realized that something was wrong. Thinking about how the action tonight had gone almost abnormally smoothly, he realized that he had fallen into a trap.

Bai Choufei was horrified after failing to hunt and becoming the prey instead. Unfortunately, it was too late to retreat.

As his mind was tossing and turning, the force of 'Jingzhe' had already reached the face of the Southern Song general.

Bai Choufei's mind suddenly changed, hoping for a lucky break: "Jingzhe is already in front of this person. He can't avoid it at this distance. It seems that even though he has fallen into a trap, he may still be able to complete the mission."

However, at this moment, the Southern Song general suddenly raised his head, and slapped out with his palms that had been accumulating strength for a long time, and a loud dragon roar suddenly sounded in the study.

"Kanglong has regrets!"
