Chapter 0043 Mission
"Okay!" Qin Tiannan clapped his hands and said, "From today on, you will be the outer guards of the Xiaoling Mausoleum. Li Chengkong will take the lead and you will be under my control."
"Yes." The four of them clasped their fists and agreed in a deep voice.
They were very satisfied. They felt at ease when they were with each other. They were not panicked or confused, but instead were eager to make some moves.
I haven’t been out for a long time, and I can finally appreciate the prosperity and different scenery of the world again!
As they thought about it, they couldn't help but grin.
Li Chengkong, however, did not look happy at all.
If you can't defeat them yourself, you can rely on the supercomputer Yitian to escape. It will be different with them.
"There will be another roundup tomorrow, so you should conserve your energy." Qin Tiannan said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Everyone clasped their fists excitedly.
After seeing Qin Tiannan and Han Pingchuan off, they talked excitedly.
Li Chengkong was not in a good mood.
He wanted to join the Xiaoling Guard, but the timing was not right. It would be about two months later, and joining now would go against his plans.
I only regret that I am of low status and position. Even if a eunuch who grows vegetables has thousands of plans and ideas, he is still helpless.
"Old Li, this is great." Sun Guiwu laughed and said, "Let's fight the enemy side by side, and we can't be quick!"
Li Chengkong said: "Old Huang and the others probably had the same idea at the beginning."
Old Huang is one of the six people including the deceased Huang Shijing. He has the best martial arts skills and must have been full of ambition when he joined the Xiaoling Guard.
"Old Li, you really spoil the fun!" Sun Guiwu shook his head.
Jiang Shuting smiled and said, "This time, Chief Qin will not let us die again, right?"
"It's hard to say." Li Chengkong shook his head.
With the sound of footsteps, four middle-aged eunuchs came in, two of them carrying a purple lacquered wooden box, one meter square.
After opening it, there was a pile of blue shirts and five porcelain bottles in the box.
Each person has a bottle, and each bottle contains two elixirs, which can be used to save lives and heal injuries.
Each person had two blue robes and two blue shirts.
Everyone couldn't wait to change out of their brown T-shirts, swung their sleeves excitedly, and grinned from ear to ear, unable to contain themselves.
Li Chengkong also changed into a blue robe in the house.
When the lid of the wooden box was opened, there was a mirror inside where one could see his or her own appearance.
He looked at himself in the mirror.
Wearing this blue robe, his face looks even more like a beautiful jade, his eyes are like bright stars, and he looks very heroic.
What a nice appearance.
It’s a pity that he is a eunuch. I hope that Zi Yang magic can really help him repair his body and he will no longer be a eunuch!
When he went out of the house, Song Minghua and the others had changed into blue robes. They all looked handsome and looked excited.
"Old Song, Old Sun, Old Hu, and Old Jiang, let's practice it." Li Chengkong said, "To avoid any chaos."
"What are you rehearsing?" Sun Guiwu said with a smile, "You give the order and we will just follow it."
They felt that they were inferior to Li Chengkong's methods, so they naturally obeyed his orders.
Li Chengkong shook his head: "Some complicated routines still need to be practiced in advance, otherwise it will be too late to explain them by then."
"What routine?" Jiang Shuting asked curiously.
Li Chengkong said: "For example, if we encounter Song Wuji or other masters, how do we escape, how do we save our lives, how do we deal with provocations, how do we respond when we see others in danger..."
"So complicated?" Jiang Shuting was shocked.
Li Chengkong said: "Planning is the key to success. If you don't plan, you will fail. This concerns our lives, so we better practice well."
"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Shuting agreed.
The outer guards of the Xiaoling Mausoleum are indeed majestic, but also dangerous. If something goes wrong, Lao Huang and his men will be a lesson for us.
Li Chengkong practiced one by one, simulating various scenarios. He pretended to be an enemy to see how they would respond.
Through these drills, Li Chengkong built a model of their action patterns step by step, which allowed him to make predictions in advance and exert his greatest power.
"Old Jiang, you are well-informed. Do you know where this Song Wuji came from? What martial arts does he have?"
"I don't know. He's quite a mysterious guy."
"Do you know how Lao Huang and the others died?" Li Chengkong asked.
"...I'll go and ask around." Jiang Shuting ran out.
After a while, he ran back, his face solemn: "They all died from the flying knife. We can't give Song Wuji a chance to strike with the knife. Once the knife strikes, they will either die or be injured."
"Flying knives..." Li Chengkong thought: "Then let's practice how to avoid flying knives."
Time passed slowly, and when a bright moon hung high in the center, the four people were so exhausted that they could not even lift their arms.
"Almost." Li Chengkong said: "Remember there is only one principle, saving your life first, don't try to be brave."
"I understand." Song Minghua and the other three nodded repeatedly.
Li Chengkong repeated this sentence more than a hundred times tonight, and they were all tired of hearing it.
Li Chengkong smiled and nodded.
The time is too short, and only this kind of brainwashing repetition can make them remember. The most worrying thing is that they will get carried away and fight with Song Wuji to the death.
Everyone went back to their rooms, and Jiang Shuting left the yard reluctantly.
He also wished to have such a yard and his own house, and he would definitely make this request after he had accomplished his mission this time.
The next day, just after dawn, someone knocked on the door.
Sun Guiwu went forward to open the door and found that it was Zheng Xifeng. His expression immediately turned unfriendly and he glared at him.
Zheng Xifeng said, "Where's Li Chengkong? Hurry up, we have to set off immediately and gather at the Shenxiu Lake!"
After he said that, he turned and left.
I was extremely excited.
Li Chengkong was so rampant that he finally had the misfortune to become the outer guard of Xiaoling Mausoleum. He will definitely be killed by Song Wuji!
By then, the top leaders of Zi Yang Sect will not be able to blame me.
When Li Chengkong and four others arrived at Shenxiu Lake, there were already hundreds of people standing solemnly beside the lake shrouded in white mist.
The lake is covered with mist, like a veil rolling in circles.
Everyone stood in a square without saying a word.
The chirping of early birds makes the surroundings seem particularly peaceful and tranquil.
Qin Tiannan stood at the front, solemn and upright.
Li Chengkong and four others came to the outermost side and stood there. More than a hundred people looked straight ahead, as if they didn't see them.
"Li Chengkong, Song Minghua, Hu Yunshi, Sun Guiwu, and Jiang Shuting, these five people are the new outer guards of the Xiaoling Mausoleum and are directly under my command!" Qin Tiannan said slowly.
More than two hundred eyes turned to Li Chengkong and the other four.
They all understood that Li Chengkong was equivalent to a centurion, even though he only had four subordinates.
The five of them formed an independent team. Isn't their status too high? They are just eunuchs who grow vegetables!
"You have to understand that they are not growing vegetables now, but the Xiaoling Guards!" Qin Tiannan said in a deep voice.
Everyone was silent.
Those companions who did not support the outer guards of the Xiaoling Mausoleum were expelled, which gave them a great deterrent, at least they did not dare to show it on the surface.
Qin Tiannan looked at Li Chengkong: "Li Chengkong, the five of you have the task of tracking and finding Song Wuji's location!"
Li Chengkong's expression changed slightly.
This is the most dangerous task, tantamount to touching a tiger's butt.
