Chapter 153 In the Darkness

"The Art of War? Military Competition": "Therefore, it is as fast as the wind, its slow as the forest, its invasion is like fire, and it is as motionless as the mountain, it is difficult to know its shade, and its movement is as thunder as shaking."

Compared with Song Yan and others who did not know the identities of Bai Shier and Hu Xiaolin, who acted like headless flies, Bai Shier's actions were completely consistent with this sentence.

Of course, this is largely because the enemy is in the light and he is in the dark.

While Hu Xiaolin was investigating what happened three years ago, Bai Shier was also planning in an orderly manner according to his own steps.

Although this was his first time to come to Yangzhou Prefecture and was not familiar with all the forces and people here, he would be able to get these situations soon after spending a little money.

How could even be there in the Tianji Pavilion, which is located in the small Xin'an County town, not in the huge and prosperous Yangzhou Prefecture City?

If he hadn't known that Hu Xiaolin was going to inquire about the matter three years ago, it would have to involve the government's house. If he asked about Tianji Pavilion, he would have aroused suspicion, he felt that buying directly from Tianji Pavilion would be much simpler and faster than Hu Xiaolin and others did now.

However, even if the things he inquired are very common, basically every new person who came to Yangzhou Prefecture would buy it like Tianji Pavilion, but he was still very cautious when doing things.

Instead of trading all the news from Song Yan and others at one time, they changed their outfits five times and took three days to get all the news when the crowds were at the most.

Just this, if Zhu Jinxuan hadn't learned the disguise technique from Gu Daliang, Bai Shier wouldn't have dared to have such great confidence.

After all, Tianji Pavilion has always used intelligence and is most sensitive to intelligence. Bai Shier would not be so stupid that he believes that Tianji Pavilion is really abiding by the rules as they advertise to the outside world.

Otherwise, why did the subordinates, Lin Yu, the head of Tianji Pavilion, keep following him and Zhu Jinxuan in Xin'an County? How could Hu Xiaolin be deposed in the end?

After knowing the most basic information, Bai Shier began his own secret surveillance and inquiry according to this information.

When Song Yan and others were searching for the traces of Bai Shier and Hu Xiaolin every day, they didn't know that one of the ones they were looking for was actually under their noses, watching everything about them.

However, Bai Shier was only one person after all, and he could not perform all-weather surveillance. He wanted to seek manpower from Hu Xiaolin, but when he thought of the surveillance methods that were worse than those great masters, he directly put aside the idea.

It would be better if you were a little tired, it would be better than having a teammate who would mess up the matter directly.

It is precisely because of this that he perfectly missed the time when Zhou Wei arrived in Yangzhou Prefecture. Fortunately, he did not miss the opportunity to go to Wang Yingzhang's house to check the other party's injuries.

Although he didn't know who this middle-aged man he had never seen before, this did not prevent Bai Shier from seeing the other party's identity as a first-class master.

Of course, Bai Shier’s so-called view did not really see Zhou Wei’s strength. He could see this from the behavior and expressions of Song Yan and others around Zhou Wei.

He had already learned about the identities of Song Yan and others from Tianji Pavilion.

Although the second-rate master sounds a bit disproportionate, he is already one of the best masters in Yangzhou Prefecture, especially Song Yan, the successor of the Lion Roaring Master of the Song Family in Jiangning, and the Zenzu Temple is still very intimidating.

With Song Yan's identity, he had to treat a face who looked much younger than him very humbly. Bai Shier could guess with his toes that the other party was definitely a first-class expert.

Although he didn't know the other party's identity, Bai Shier had a way to let others tell him about the other party's identity, and even after that, he could get a lot of extra money.

This is not the first time he has done this.

So, he is familiar with the path.

When he sold the news that Song Yan and others had invited a first-class master to Yangzhou Prefecture City to Tianji Pavilion, looking at the reaction of Tianji Pavilion, he knew that he had bet right again.

This first-class expert who was invited came to Yangzhou Prefecture in secret.

Although Tianji Pavilion in Xin'an County did not gain any advantage in several confrontations with Bai Shier, and even lost several good players in the end, this does not mean that Tianji Pavilion is really so incompetent.

Soon, Tianji Pavilion confirmed that Bai Shier’s news was true.

Then, Bai Shier successfully obtained all the information about Zhou Wei, a top expert.

Although, for this, this time he returned all the things he had just obtained from Tianji Pavilion.

...

"Zhou Wei, the head of the Zhou family in Nanhu?"

When Hu Xiaolin heard Zhou Wei's name from Bai Shier's mouth, his mind was still a little confused.

As an inner guard of the palace, he himself does not know much about the masters in the world. The few people who know are nothing more than the abbot of the Zenzu Temple and the real person in the world like Taihe Mountain Master. No matter how much he knows, he is also the name of the masters of the prefectures around the capital.

Zhou Wei, a first-class expert in Jiangnan, obviously had no idea. So much so that after thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head helplessly and said to Bai Shier:

"I haven't heard of it."

Bai Shier would not look disappointed when he said to Hu Xiaolin.

Because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

But if you didn't have any hope at the beginning, then there would naturally be no disappointment.

"The Zhou family in Nanhu, a hidden weapon sect that is as famous as the Tang Sect in Shu in the Jianghu, is naturally good at hidden weapons. Among them, the Zhou family's heavy rain pear blossom needle is regarded as the king of hidden weapons by the Jianghu people."

"hidden weapon?!"

Hearing Bai Shier's narration, Hu Xiaolin couldn't help but frown.

As the highest task of protecting the emperor's safety, he naturally would not have any favors for the hidden weapons that could be used for assassination.

"You don't have to worry too much,"

Bai Shier, who understood Hu Xiaolin's thoughts, paused to tell Zhou Wei's intelligence and comforted him.

"We are in the dark, they are in the light. As long as they cannot find our traces, even Li Xiao Feidao will not hurt the princess at all."

"Little Li's flying knife?"

Hu Xiaolin glanced at Bai Shier with some curiosity.

"Who is this? Is his hidden weapon even more powerful than the King of Hidden Weapons?"

"Uh, ahem, this, um, don't ask too much about this."

Bai Shier's face looked a little strange, and she seemed to be choking. After coughing a few times, she said a little vaguely.

"Anyway, Zhou Wei is a top-notch expert who is good at using hidden weapons. If you inevitably encounter the other party in the future, let your subordinates keep more gods."

"I understand." Hu Xiaolin nodded.

"But, can you do it alone? Do you want it..."

"No need, I'm just alone. Don't ask your subordinates to help."
