Chapter 23 Big move

"on fire!"

"Madam, run!"

Xiao Huan, supporting Zuo Rong, changed color and left her seat, her sleeves billowing out, her legs trembling, almost wanting to run away first.

Inside the Five Absolutes Tower, a man shouted, "Fire!" The husband rose and shouted back, as did the wife. Both children cried. Suddenly, hundreds and thousands of people shouted, hundreds and thousands of children cried, and hundreds and thousands of dogs barked. Amidst this, the sounds of things being pulled apart and collapsing, explosions, and howling winds arose simultaneously; mingled with hundreds and thousands of cries for help, the creaking of houses being torn down, sounds of looting, and splashing water. Everything imaginable was present.

Zuo Rong was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Seeing the panic of the master and servant, Zuo Jing was both amused and exasperated. She quickly reassured them, "Elder sister, that's just an illusion created by the ventriloquist."

He just finished speaking.

Suddenly, he struck the ruler once, and all the sounds ceased.

If you remove the screen, all you see is one person, one table, one chair, one fan, and one ruler.

"Mother!"

"Scared me!"

Xiao Huan patted her chest. She had been listening intently when she suddenly heard "fire" and heard a commotion. She thought it was a real fire and was terrified.

After all, the lady is pregnant!
Xiao Huan walked to the side and looked downstairs. She saw that the scene downstairs was also in chaos. Most of the people were not in their seats and were in a state of panic. It wasn't until the screen was removed with a tap of the ruler that she saw the Thirteenth Master and realized that it was a ventriloquist's performance.

A thunderous roar of applause erupted immediately—

"color!"

"Thirteenth Prince, let's have another round!"

"The Thirteenth Prince's ventriloquism is unparalleled; this is the first time I've ever heard of something so amazing!"

"A green silk cloth is set up for concealment, and the sound effects are so exquisite they seem real. Who knew that all the noise was in vain, for there was no one else with such unparalleled skill."

……

Everyone cheered.

They all shouted "Encore!"

But the Thirteenth Prince only performed this one show before gracefully taking his leave.

Xiao Huan snapped out of her reverie from the program, glanced at the sky outside, and exclaimed, "Madam, it's time to go back!"

Zuo Rong held Zuo Jing and Zuo Cheng's hands, reluctant to let them go: "Come back with me today and talk to me."

She had so much to say to her two younger brothers, and so many questions to ask.

For example, Zuo Cheng's legs.

But Zuo Jing was reasonable: "It is inconvenient for the two of us men to enter the inner quarters of the Yang residence. Tomorrow, I will take Zuo Cheng to talk to the eldest sister."

Zuo Rong is gone.

Reluctant to part.

Zuo Jing, along with Zuo Cheng and two bodyguards from the Five Absolutes Tower (who were actually two assassins), escorted their eldest sister back.

We arrived at the Yang family's residence.

We entered the courtyard.

Zuo Rong kept turning back to look at herself.

Zuo Jing waved his hand and hurried back to the Five Wonders Tower with Zuo Cheng.

On the way, Zuo Cheng suddenly spoke up: "Big sister just cried."

Zuo Jing also saw this: "When a woman marries into Xiayang City, she is unfamiliar with the place and the people, and her brother-in-law is often away on business. It is bound to be difficult for her."

But it's fine now.

They are coming.

Zuo Jing looked at her younger brother: "Come and chat with your older sister more often in the future."

"I will, I miss my older sister too." Zuo Cheng nodded.

And there's the eldest brother!

And my parents!

……

correct.

When talking about his parents, Zuo Jing closed his eyes and possessed Zhou Si.

"Work's over! Work's over!"

"Run faster or you won't get any food!"

Zuo Jing possessed him on Thursday, so he didn't have to run around. When he arrived at the cafeteria, someone had already served the food in four portions, just enough for the four assassins.

"Fourth Master!"

"Please!"

Several foremen came up to Zhou Si and tried to get on his good side.

This wasn't the first time Zuo Jing had possessed someone; he had enjoyed this kind of treatment before.

The reason is actually very simple.

Among miners in the mines, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss.

As a level 5 assassin, Thursday's physical abilities are 1.5 times those of an ordinary strongman, and his individual strength far surpasses that of an ordinary miner. He can take on one miner at a time without making a sound.

Not to mention.

He also had three brothers, all of whom were elite warriors and skilled fighters.

The four of them huddled together.

They're lucky if they don't bully others; who would be so blind as to provoke them?
After half a month, he had already become a local tyrant among the miners.

But he still couldn't find his parents.

The assassin Zhao Si whispered something in his ear. Zuo Jing glanced around and asked the foremen, "Why haven't we seen Little Mute these past few days?"

The little mute was a miner who came at the same time as Zhou Si and the others. He couldn't speak, was timid and fearful, and was bullied a lot when he first arrived. He was only able to survive thanks to Zhou Si's care.

But I haven't seen him these past few days.

Not just the little mute.

In the mining area where Thursday is located, three or four miners have disappeared intermittently over the past two weeks, most of them being the kind of bullied, mute miners.

"Were they killed?" Zuo Jing looked at the foremen.

Foreman Wang Hu quickly said, "These poor folks might bully people at most, but they wouldn't dare to kill anyone even if they had ten lives."

Zuo Jing asked curiously, "Where is that person?"

Wang Hu laughed and said, "Transfer to other mining areas. As you know, Fourth Master, we have a total of eight mining areas and hundreds of mines here. Today we are short of people here, tomorrow we are short of people there. It is normal to transfer people back and forth."

No.

unusual.

Why are they only casting weak and easily bullied characters?

Why not schedule them for Thursday?

There are ghosts!

There must be a ghost!

Zuo Jing was thinking when suddenly a thought struck him: the second suicide squad had finally arrived.

"Let's make this batch of kids act like cowards."

"Let's see what secrets this mine holds!"

……

The first night after arriving in Xiayang City.

Peace of mind.

Behind the Five Wonders Tower is a rather large three-courtyard house. Zuo Jing and Zuo Cheng sleep in the middle courtyard, each in their own room, which feels very comfortable.

Night falls.

Zuo Jing lay peacefully on the bed.

in the house.

Zheng Twelve and Zheng Nineteen took turns keeping watch at night, closely guarding Zuo Jing.

These two level-seven assassins, one skilled in burial and the other in mourning, were essentially useless, so Zuo Jing kept them by his side as his personal bodyguards.

Level 7 assassin.

Three times the quality.

Blood Burning Talent.

It can truly save your life in critical moments. Only in this way can Zuo Jing sleep peacefully and return to Shangyang City with peace of mind.

"Shangyang City!"

"Your king has returned!"

Zuo Jing possessed the various groups of assassins left in Shangyang City, totaling 175 people.

among them.

Thirty-three people are in jail; it won't be easy for them to leave.

Forty people are on night shift and cannot leave.

Zuo Jing could only mobilize 102 people.

But enough is enough.

Zuo Jing repeatedly possessed and jumped around, swiftly deploying troops, and finally possessed Zheng Shiyi, a level 7 assassin 'matchmaker' who was left to guard Shangyang City.

They set off together with various suicide squads.

Hundreds of people.

Quietly.

Under the cover of night, they traveled through underground tunnels.

quietly.

They converge in one place.

Pushing aside two stones and lifting a stone slab, one discovers a hidden world inside. A tunnel, 2.2 meters high and 3.3 meters wide, large enough for seven or eight people to walk side by side, appears before one's eyes.

This wasn't Zuo Jing's first time seeing this tunnel, but every time he saw it, he couldn't help but marvel at it.

"These suicide squad members are really good at digging tunnels!"

When ordinary people dig tunnels, the amount of earthwork is staggering, and it is almost impossible to excavate, transport, and dispose of such a huge amount of soil and rock without being detected.

Secondly, the demand for manpower is staggering, requiring a large and stable workforce. However, workers are prone to leaking information, and there are significant labor costs. For example, salaries, food, management, and many other aspects all require money.

But assassins wouldn't.

The assassins, armed with convenient shovels, dug out soil and filled it into the gates of hell, without having to worry about transporting the soil.

Not only are they hidden.

Even better, it increases efficiency tenfold.

Moreover, these assassins are absolutely obedient, do not require salaries, and will not leak secrets.

then.

After Zuo Jing learned the location of the Lei family's treasury through various channels, he arranged for his assassins to dig it day and night.

Anyway, it's all about digging.

It doesn't matter where you dig.

Instead of digging aimlessly, it's better to be targeted and set a goal.

now.

Zuo Jing fled to Xiayang City, finally making a move.

He gathered over a hundred elite soldiers, and they marched through the tunnels straight to the Lei family's treasury—

"I can't find my parents!"

"We'll wipe out the entire Lei family's property first!"

Zuo Jing is extremely vengeful.

After leaving Shangyang City, he became even more reckless!
