PS: Yesterday, I had a party with Guo Nu Desert Short Sword. After I came back, I found that the monthly ticket list was so shrill. Is this the same thing that the chrysanthemum will be exposed, too? If I had known, I would have let the three of them go

Fang Jie looked at the assassin leader in front of him who seemed to be dead at any time, with no sympathy in his eyes. He was confident about the importance of his attack and knew that 30% of this guy's performance was pretending. This shows that this is a smart man, knowing what means to temporarily save his life under what circumstances.

He used the pain as an illusion, which made Fang Jie think that he was about to die.

But because of this, Fang Jie saw another point, that is, this person is afraid of death.

Everyone is afraid of death, but some people can still stick to themselves in the face of death, while others will change themselves in order to survive. Therefore, there are always many respected martyrs in this world and many despised traitors. But in the face of life threats, who can guarantee that they will die as generously as the respected martyrs?

So Fang explained, let him go out and kill him.

"Wait...wait..."

The assassin leader obviously did not expect Fang Jie to really not ask him anything. All the countermeasures he thought about just now were useless. The way of thinking of the people of Dongchu was actually a bit different from those of the Sui Dynasty. Because of the development of business, the people of Dongchu seemed to be more flexible, and they have always looked down on the stubbornness and extremeness of the people of Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, when facing death, few people from Dongchu were able to achieve the stubbornness and extremeness of the Sui people.

In the eyes of the people of Dongchu, anything has value, no matter what it is.

This is an inertial thinking formed by a commercial empire that maintains the supremacy of interests for a long time. Every Dongchu person can clearly set value standards for everything. They will only do it when the effort and harvest reach a certain proportion. At this time, the assassin leader clearly knows what he needs to pay and what he can gain. He is also particularly clear about the value of these things and can save his life.

"You can't kill me, I still have great value..."

While he was dragged out, he shouted at Fang Jie with all his strength.

Fang Jie waved his hand, and the two cavalry schools who were walking out of him stopped.

"We are indeed from Chu..."

The assassin leader struggled to sit up and leaned against the door frame: "The few you caught before were all mages invited from the Principality of Ross across the ocean. They said they had the ability to help us do things. These people once had a very high status in the Principality of Ross, but later they could no longer survive in the Principality of Ross... so they planned to come out and make profits outside."

He explained the origin of those mages, and then the other party explained: "The reason we came was because of the request of Emperor Nanyan Murong Meng. Murong Meng knew that General, you would definitely launch troops against Nanyan. He felt that Nanyan's strength might not be able to stop you, so he asked our Chu State for help."

Fang Jie nodded: "The Emperor of Dong Chu agreed to Murong Mei's request, and he must have sent you more than just to come, right?"

The assassin leader nodded: "Our mission is to join forces with these mages of the Principal of Ross to assassinate you. If we fail, there will be other means. The Principal of Ross sent a team of hundreds of people to Dali City in Nanyan. It is said that they carried extremely powerful weapons."

"What?"

Fang Jie asked, although he could almost guess the answer.

"have no idea……"

The assassin leader shook his head: "I really don't know. The people in the Principality of Ross have been closely guarding those things along the way and preventing our people from getting close. I only heard that it was a powerful weapon, but I don't know what it was."

"Hundreds of people?"

Fang Jie seemed to have somehow misunderstood this number. He could guess what powerful firearms brought by the Ross people must have been, but the number of hundreds of people was still too small. Judging from the technological level of this era, even if the people from the Principality of Ross were ahead of the Sui Dynasty, they would not have created any terrifying things. If it were just artillery, hundreds of people could operate at most no more than dozens of them.

The power of artillery in this era has not been so perverted that it can kill all directions. Dozens of artillery can indeed turn the situation around, but at most they can protect themselves. Relying on attack? Faced with the light cavalry of the Black Flag Army, the power of artillery is greatly reduced than when facing infantry. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, these artillery cannons are only placed in Dali City for defense.

This number cannot be divided into several batches and is arranged in other big cities.

Isn't it a cannon?

"How many people have been sent to Dongchu this time by the Principality of Ross?"

"Less than a thousand people."

The leader of the assassin replied: "To keep it secret, the people from the Duchy of Ros came to Chu on the merchant ship of Chu. However, they were followed by a merchant ship of the Duchy of Ros. In order to prevent leaks, the ship of the Duchy of Ros came to Dongchu and found an excuse to get rid of all the merchants of the Duchy of Ros."

Fang Jie frowned slightly and immediately thought of the news that Chen Xiaoru said.

The Ross merchant ship that he saw in Dongchu must have encountered the Dongchu ship carrying the Ross army halfway up the mountain, so he followed him curiously. In order to prevent leaks, these Ross merchants were deliberately led to Dongchu and then silenced.

So, Fang Jie felt that things were far from assassin leader said in an instant. If it were just to help Nanyan Murongmother resist him, would Dong Chu need to collude with the people of the Principal of Ross? In order to keep it secret, the people of the Principal of Ross even did not hesitate to get rid of their own citizens to keep it secret. What is this secret and how big is it?

A strong uneasiness arose in Fang Jie's heart.

...

...

Fang Jie carefully pried off the stones inlaid on the sticks of the six mages with a knife, without touching them with his hands. He knew that these things had extraordinary power and could change some natural phenomena. The so-called mages were just relying on the functions of these meteorites to deceive people.

Fang Jie subconsciously thought that he would use these stones in the future, so he did not discard them. Perhaps it was just his mentality that he had to prepare some even if he didn't need them. However, in the memory of his previous life, Fang Jie was very interested in the profession of the wizard.

"What are these things useful?"

Sanjin Hou, who had arrived, looked at the stones of different colors. If it hadn't been able to emit faint light occasionally, his first intuition was just an ordinary stone.

"It's useless. Meteorites that can change the force field. Getting together will cause some unnatural phenomena, like magic."

Fang Jie smiled and asked someone to use an iron box to pack the six meteorites and seal them.

The other people had been scared to death and didn't even dare to speak.

Chen Xiaoru walked over impatiently and wrote a number on the five people with bloody hands, from one to five: "Now you can choose, I will give you the right to choose, and you can choose one person to answer. One, two, three, four, five... try your luck."

The shopkeeper translated the words truthfully, and the five people were immediately scared and four were paralyzed. The other one was stiff and they forgot what they should do. They looked at each other and saw alertness and hostility in each other's eyes. It has to be said that Chen Xiaoru only used a few numbers, which made the five people lose trust in each other.

Chen Xiaoru smiled grimly: "Don't you come? Then I have to draw lots."

He found a few pieces of paper, wrote the numbers from one to five, then folded the paper and threw it into the sky, and picked up a note from the ground and opened it.

He looked at the mage whose clothes were written three, and smiled and said, "Congratulations, you won the prize."

"I said it!"

The person who was pointed out didn't need to listen to the translation to know what it meant. He crawled and knelt down and dodged back while shouting at the top of his lungs: "I am willing to say anything, I am willing to tell you everything I know!"

“Ask separately”

Chen Xiaoru said to the shopkeeper: "Don't give them the opportunity to collude with me. If anyone answers differently, point them out and I will kill them slowly..."

The shopkeeper shivered and did not dare to look at Chen Xiaoru in the eyes.

...

...

“This is unusual…”

Fang Jie thought about it and said to Sanjin Hou: "The people of Dongchu have no courage to launch troops against the Great Sui Dynasty. 70% of their commercial income comes from the Great Sui Dynasty. If they use troops, their financial path will be cut off. Military, their strength is not enough. But now the people from the Duchy of Ross have appeared, and I always think that the Emperor of Dongchu is playing some secret tricks."

"In my opinion, I don't have to pay too much attention."

Sanjin Hou said: "Even if Murong Moe has a firearm in his hand, the number of a few hundred people cannot affect the overall situation. General, I suddenly thought of a way to break the city...it is just a little cruel."

"What?"

"Stop the upper reaches of the Nanmeng River and then release the water to flood the city."
