Chapter 541 Bad News

In the south city, there is the main hall of the Military Affairs Council.

Su Mengzhen bowed with Bai Choufei and apologized with injuries: "Golden Wind and Rain Tower is not doing a good job, please punish me, General."

Of course, the injuries on his body had been healed by Lu Ping long ago, and his current appearance of being seriously ill was just a deliberate act to deceive outsiders.

"Hahaha……"

"Who said that Master Su was not good at doing things? In my opinion, Master Su did a great job this time!"

Su Mengzhen originally thought that he and his companions had returned defeated tonight, and General Song would certainly take the opportunity to punish him and his companions because of this incident. However, he did not expect that the other party was not angry but happy instead, which made him feel puzzled.

"Why do you say that, General Song?"

General Song smiled complacently, pushed the wooden box on the table forward, and made a "please" gesture: "Master Su, please look, what is in this box?"

Su Mengzhen's mind suddenly turned, and he thought of an incredible answer, but he couldn't believe it, so he signaled to Bai Choufei with his eyes.

Bai Choufei stepped forward and opened the box. He was surprised to see a human head quietly placed inside. He was immediately shocked: "Ah?! This... this is..."

Su Mengzhen's eyes flashed with enlightenment, and he said calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the head of Wangbei City's defender Wu Wende, right?"

General Song smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's him!"

Sure enough!

Repairing the plank road in the open, but marching through Chencang in secret...

On the surface, he arranged an assassination operation to attack the general's mansion at night, and pretended to leak the news accidentally to attract the enemy's attention, but secretly sent a second wave of killers to carry out a covert operation.

At this moment, Su Mengzhen and Bai Choufei's thoughts were in sync, knowing that in this operation, the entire Jinfengxiyu Tower was used by the man in front of them who didn't look very smart.

At the same time, another idea emerged in the minds of both of them.

"I heard that this man was Cai Jing's confidant, so he was sent to Chaonan City to gain military merit. After several encounters, I couldn't see any talent. But now..."

"If he hadn't been deliberately playing dumb before, then this time someone must have been behind the scenes giving him advice!"

'In addition, we must pay special attention to the assassins he sent out. Even if they are there to hold us back, it is not an easy task to assassinate the city's defenders...'

Things have come to this point, and it is no use pursuing the matter of exploitation. Su Mengzhen secretly kept this account in mind, preparing to retaliate later, but on the surface he remained calm and pretended to be extremely admiring.

"General, your foresight is amazing. Su Mengzhen is in awe!"

General Song nodded in satisfaction, but said bluntly: "People like you who came from the underworld may have some pretty good skills, but when it comes to wisdom and strategy, you are still far behind. You need to learn more from me in the future..."

"Su Mengzhen will keep this in mind."

Su Mengzhen raised his hands high, leaned forward and saluted, his face hidden by the wide sleeves exuding a fierce look that sounded like a death sentence.

Bai Choufei saw Su Mengzhen's expression and was secretly shocked: "Su Mengzhen is still so calm even though he has been used like this? It seems that in terms of enduring humiliation, he is almost as good as me..."

In the past twenty years, Bai Choufei has traveled a lot in the martial arts world and changed several aliases, but among the people he met, only a handful could compete with him.

He had known that Su Mengzhen was a cunning fox, full of evil intentions and calculations, but he did not expect that in addition to being a fox, the other party was also an insidious and poisonous snake.

General Song was immersed in joy and was very proud: "Now that Wu Wende is dead, Wangbei City has lost its leader. Those Jianghu people are nothing to be afraid of. We can raise an army to attack it tomorrow!
Su Mengzhen said respectfully: "Regarding this, there is one thing I need to let the general know..."

Then, Su Mengzhen simply repeated Lu Ping's words, with many provocative tones in his words.

General Song was immediately furious and shouted, "Humph! How dare a little unknown kid say such outrageous things? This is simply lawless!"

"Now that a war is imminent, let's put this matter aside for now. I will deal with this man after I capture Chaonan City!"

Yes, General Song is already dead.

Bai Choufei chuckled in his heart, and was greatly impressed by Su Mengzhen's knife skills of "killing people without using a knife".

Lu Ping just said he wanted a ceasefire tonight. If General Song launches an attack on the city tomorrow, it means he does not take Lu Ping seriously. This battle may cause heavy casualties!

In this case, how could Lu Ping let him off easily?

Although they both served the Northern Song Dynasty court, Su Mengzhen and the General Song in front of him were not of the same mind.

The Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower is the fourth "sword" in the hands of the Northern Song Emperor. Their ally in the court is the Shenhou Mansion, while General Song belongs to the "Cai Jing Party". The two sides are rivals in the court. This is also the reason why General Song betrayed the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower in tonight's operation and took the credit for killing the enemy's main general.

It was not until Bai Choufei and Su Mengzhen said goodbye and left that he suddenly remembered something.

"I searched the general's mansion tonight, but I couldn't find any trace of Wu Wende. I don't know who General Song sent to carry out the operation, but he succeeded in one fell swoop."

……

"That person calls himself 'the seventh best in the world'."

"He used a very strange weapon. According to him, it was called 'Thousand Suns'."

“Wow, wow, wow…Da Wu, Xiao Wu and the others died such tragically!”

"Dad, Mom, you must avenge them both!"

In Wangbei City, Guo Fu sobbed and narrated her experiences to Guo Jing and Huang Rong, mainly describing how Wen Xue'an, the 'Number Seventh in the World', suddenly appeared, and how he killed the two Wus in one move, and took away Wu Wende in two moves.

“Be Confucian! Cultivate your literary talent!!…”

Upon hearing the sudden death of his beloved disciple, Guo Jing felt as if struck by lightning. His face turned pale and tears streamed down his face. Then his internal energy recoiled, and he screamed, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and then he fell backwards trembling.

Huang Rong was also struck by lightning and burst into tears. Seeing Guo Jing again, she was devastated and hurried forward to support him: "Brother Jing, you must cheer up..."

They could support the body but not the heart, and both husband and wife felt heartbroken.

"This... How should I explain this to Brother Wu..."

The two brothers Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen have been learning martial arts under Guo Jing since they were young, and it has been ten years now. They are nominally master and apprentice, but in fact they are like father and son.

In the eyes of Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Guo Fu, the two brothers had already become part of the Guo family. They did not expect that they would die young because of such a trivial matter.

"Where are their bodies?"

Guo Jing grabbed Guo Fu's arm excitedly, not even noticing that he was using more strength.

At this moment, he no longer cared about Wu Wende's murder.

Although Guo Fu felt pain in her arm, she did not dare to complain at all. She just continued crying and replied, "When I came back, I had already asked the Beggars' Sect disciples to collect it."

Guo Jing endured the internal injuries, stood up and walked outside; after Huang Rong stood up, she grabbed Guo Fu who was about to follow her out.

"You said that 'Number Seventh Under Heaven' killed General Wu, Da Wu and Xiao Wu, then why did he let you go?"

Huang Rong had been in charge of the Southern Beggars' Sect for many years and had never lost any intelligence, so she was familiar with the name 'Number Seven in the World' and knew that this man was a very famous killer in the martial arts world.

More than half a year ago, Tang Zhan, once the "number one killer in the world", was defeated by Guan Qi at the Seven Sacred Peaks.

No one saw Tang Zhan die with their own eyes, but since then, Tang Zhan disappeared from the martial arts world, and the killer world never recovered because of this incident.

The person who was originally expected to inherit the title of 'the world's number one killer' was 'Nine Lives Killer' Liu Fenyu. However, 'the world's number seven' suddenly appeared and killed 27 martial arts masters in a short period of half a month - including several elders of the Northern Beggars' Sect.

It was this dazzling record that lifted the 'Seventh in the World' to the throne of 'Number One Killer in the World'.

Rumor has it that the 'Number Seventh in the World' is a man of great desire, lack of passion, lack of loyalty, cruel, cold-blooded, and aggressive.

Would such a person really do nothing and just let go of Guo Fu, a beautiful girl as pretty as a flower?

Absolutely impossible!
As a mother, Huang Rong actually didn't want to think this way.

But she also knew clearly that although her daughter was a fool, she was still quite pretty. She was not much worse than her younger self, and might even be more pretty than her.

Guo Fu was stunned when she heard this, and answered truthfully: "I... I don't know either. At that time, he had already killed the big and small Wu and General Wu. He was about to walk towards me, but suddenly his face changed drastically, and then he ran away."

"I think someone must have helped in secret."

Huang Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, my daughter is fine...

But who could be that master who saved people but is unwilling to show up?
