Chapter 1426: Chapter 1424: Assassination Team Sets Out
As expected, once he entered the weapons room, he saw rows of swords, long spears, bows and arrows, and a pile of gunpowder bombs inside. At this moment, Chen Tianlong frowned; those weapons were nothing of concern.
The key issue was this gunpowder, which was a bit tricky. During battles, encountering gunpowder like this would definitely lead to countless casualties.
Therefore, Chen Tianlong decided to destroy them first, so he slowly walked over and gently picked one up, observing for a while, but did not act.
Because this thing was quite eerie; once exploded, it could blow up the entire room, possibly blowing himself up as well.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong directly activated the Condensing Power Technique, closed his eyes, and at that moment, he could clearly see the internal structure of the fire bomb, which turned out to be a fuse made from straw condensed with chemicals, connected to the gunpowder below.
Chen Tianlong thought, as long as he could secretly separate the fuse from the gunpowder, wouldn’t that prevent an explosion?
Chen Tianlong was a bit curious, so he began to pull out some fuses, making sure they were unable to reignite; even if they burned, they wouldn’t ignite the gunpowder.
There were roughly over a hundred of them here; Chen Tianlong quickly began the sabotage, and after a dozen minutes of hard work, he finally tampered with all the fire bombs.
At this moment, it seemed like there was some commotion outside. Chen Tianlong looked around and, seeing nothing else to handle, directly walked out the door. He saw a patrol team in the distance heading this way.
Chen Tianlong hurriedly unlocked the sleep acupoints of the four guards at the door, then jumped up onto the roof.
Before long, the patrol team captain led his men over, and upon seeing the four asleep, he immediately got angry.
"Damn it, you four lazy bastards, checked the warehouse then sneak off to sleep. Later, when I report to the Young Master, he might even punish you severely!" the patrol captain scolded.
The four were startled awake by the captain’s voice, hurriedly stood up, and sheepishly said, "Captain, we didn’t do it on purpose; we just suddenly felt extremely tired, maybe because we didn’t rest well last night. Please, have mercy and don’t be angry with us small people."
"Hmph, I’ll let it slide this time, but don’t let it happen again. The Young Master is in seclusion; best not to stir up trouble, or else bear the consequences,"
The captain said viciously and then continued to lead the team forward.
"Got it, walk slowly, boss. We won’t make the same mistake again."
The four cheerfully sent off the patrol captain, but as soon as they turned, they began cursing behind his back.
Chen Tianlong on the rooftop nearly burst into laughter but then immediately recalled the captain’s words, realizing: "Young Master? Could it be Kuang Shengtian is guarding here? If that’s the case, one must be cautious, as cunning and ruthless as he is. If he spots any anomaly, there might be resistance."
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong leaped up and dashed toward the cave, quickly arriving at the cave entrance on the mountaintop.
At this moment, Wu Mengting was waiting idly inside, not knowing what she was thinking. During these days, she had been away from home for a long time and was currently missing her father.
Suddenly, the stone door opened with a rumble, Wu Mengting immediately hid, and shortly after saw a familiar figure. She instantly ran out, directly into Chen Tianlong’s arms.
"Chen Tianlong, I miss my father so much. I wonder how he is doing,"
Wu Mengting said, pouting like a child.
"Haha, missing him, huh? Alright, after we figure out the Assassin Group’s situation, in a few days we’ll leave to see Manor Master Leng," Chen Tianlong said, smiling as he comforted Mengting.
"Hmm, hmm."
Wu Mengting obediently nodded, and the two snuggled together. They then ate something, before sitting on the bed under the covers, chatting until late at night, eventually falling asleep.
At Fire Dragon Stronghold.
Everyone was ready; the weapon transport convoy led by Tan Batian had already set off the previous night. At this moment, Wu Guangzu led his Special Assassination Team, advancing first to learn about the enemy.
"Xiao, this time we take the lead; the rest is up to you. Tomorrow, when the main force arrives, wait for our signal and follow the plan,"
Wu Guangzu still felt a bit worried; after all, this was the final battle, losing meant total defeat.
"Haha, Wu, don’t worry. I have been in warfare for many years; I’ll certainly be cautious. Just follow the plan,"
Xiao Feng saw Wu Guangzu’s concern, so he feigned a relaxed laugh to calm him down.
"Hmm, that’s good."
Wu Guangzu turned around and shouted to the Special Assassination Team behind him, "Brothers, we set off!"
"Yes!"
The group responded in unison.
Before long, Wu Guangzu and his team changed into plain clothes and started toward the Assassin Group.
However, just after stepping outside, a female voice came from behind. Wu Guangzu was delighted, thinking it was Gu Yuxin, but turned around to find disappointment as he saw Xiao Qing walking towards him with a smile.
"Xiao Qing, why are you here? Are you following us? The plan is crucial, you cannot go." Wu Guangzu felt a bit nervous; this time, nothing could go wrong.
"Haha, no, see how scared you are!"
Xiao Qing smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I’m here to give Wu something."
"Something, what is it?"
Wu Guangzu was taken aback, not knowing what this Xiao Qing intended to do.
Suddenly, Xiao Qing took something out from behind her, then spread her palm open in front of Wu Guangzu, revealing a rather exquisite little pouch.
At this moment, Xiao Qing’s cheeks were a bit rosy. Originally carefree, she became a little shy.
"There’s a protective talisman inside. This is a pouch I made with my own hands, just for you." Xiao Qing extended her hand forward and said happily.
Wu Guangzu was momentarily stunned, a bit at a loss, but seeing Xiao Qing’s blossoming smile, he couldn’t reject it, so he forced a smile and took the pouch into his hand.
There was no helping it, he was naturally a kind person, not knowing how to refuse.
"Hehe, Wu, do you like it? It’ll protect you, you know."
At this moment, Xiao Qing was really adorable. A woman is like this, always wanting to show her best and gentlest side to someone she likes.
"Mm, I like it. Thank you, Xiao Qing!"
Wu Guangzu was quite grateful at this moment. He didn’t understand what love was, but since Xiao Qing cared so much about him, he couldn’t hurt her, so he accepted it.
"Alright, you better go back now, we’re about to leave."
Wu Guangzu saw that it was getting late, and they had more important things to do, so after a brief farewell to Xiao Qing, the group hurriedly headed towards the Assassin Group.
But after Wu Guangzu had taken a few steps, he turned back to look, seeing Xiao Qing leave, he let out a sigh of relief, holding the pouch tightly to his chest, before stuffing it into his pocket, looking back with a bit of reluctance at the path.
At this moment, the one he most wished to see was Gu Yuxin, but unfortunately, after walking a long way, he still didn’t see her appear.
Wu Guangzu shook his head. The person he wanted to see didn’t show up, while the person he didn’t want to see did.
That’s how the world is; the more you want something, the harder it is to get.
He turned around, sighed lightly, and continued to follow the group forward.
After just a few steps, he again heard a woman’s voice behind him, but it was quite familiar. Wu Guangzu was instantly overjoyed. This was a voice he frequently heard in his dreams. It’s Gu Yuxin, it’s her!
Wu Guangzu, overjoyed, turned back suddenly, and indeed saw Gu Yuxin running over using lightweight skill. Wu Guangzu hurried forward to greet her and said, "Yuxin, why are you here."
"Hehe, Guangzu, I’ve thought it through. I also want to come. I’m a member of the Assassin Group, and I’m quite familiar with it. I definitely won’t cause you trouble, and I feel that Chen Tianlong will appear in the Assassin Group. He must have gone back there waiting for you when he couldn’t find you."
Gu Yuxin said happily. All she had in her heart was the hope to see Chen Tianlong soon. These days had been too torturous for her; she really couldn’t bear it.
"But....."
"Oh come on, don’t ’but’. Do you look down on my abilities?" Gu Yuxin interrupted Wu Guangzu, then deliberately glared at him and asked.
"Huh? I’m not... I... I’m just worried about your safety." Wu Guangzu, excited, thought he had really upset his goddess.
"Hehe, good then. No is best. It’s settled. I’m going with you guys, or else... hmph, I just won’t go back, I’ll sit right here." Gu Yuxin started to act willfully.
Wu Guangzu was speechless, what kind of threat was this? But Wu Guangzu knew that this time, no matter what, he had to take her along. After thinking it over for a while, Wu Guangzu nodded and agreed, "Alright."
"Really? That’s great. Hehe."
Excited, Gu Yuxin directly pounced into Wu Guangzu’s arms, then realized it was inappropriate and immediately let go, then bounced and ran ahead to the group.
Wu Guangzu smiled wryly, shook his head, and quickly caught up. Despite the dangers ahead, Wu Guangzu felt very happy that Gu Yuxin could accompany him.
Thus, a total of twelve people quickly headed toward the Assassin Group. Although Gu Yuxin was a girl, her constitution was quite good, so she also kept up with the fast pace.
This Special Assassination Team’s captain was Fang Mou, and Lin Yi was his good brother. At this moment, they were very excited; after so much training, they were finally going into action, ready to avenge their families.
Whenever they remembered the massacre of their entire village by the Sabina people, they were filled with hatred, wishing they could charge into the Assassin Group and kill all the enemies immediately.
But they knew, relying solely on the two of them, it was difficult to charge into the Assassin Group; they might be doomed before even seeing Kuang Chenggong.
Therefore, they had to follow Wu Guangzu’s lead, not allowing their rashness to ruin the whole situation.
Their aim was to drive the Sabina people out of Huaxia, not just to kill a few pawns and foot soldiers, which would be utterly meaningless.
Around noon that very day, they arrived at the foot of the back mountain of the Assassin Group.
This place was not unfamiliar to Wu Guangzu and Gu Yuxin. It was the very place they had come out from that day; it was a small forest, and everyone followed Wu Guangzu slowly into the woods.
