Chapter 241 Join
"In the past ten years, Viscount Ayton has been assassinated 39 times, but none of them succeeded."

"According to incomplete statistics, there are eight card masters in the Viscount's Mansion, and they are always guarding Viscount Ayton."

Liu Ping put down the information and picked up another one.

I saw that it said:

"The latest information from the Viscount's Mansion:"

"Yesterday, due to the failure of hosting the gambling game, the Viscount killed 20 people in a row and sent three card masters to hunt down the Baron of Mir Village."

"According to intelligence analysis, the viscount is suspected of playing tricks in the gambling game, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of the majority of high-ranking nobles."

"The wind direction from the imperial capital shows that the Viscount will face a huge dilemma this time."

Liu Ping put down the information and fell into deep thought.

A viscount can decide the baron's life or death at will.

Then.

If Viscount Ayton really angered other nobles——

As long as there is someone more noble than him among those nobles, such as the Marquis or Earl, then Viscount Ayton will be in danger.

...It seems that I don't need to rush to kill him.

If Viscount Ayton was killed by a high noble——

Isn't everyone happy?
"Your Excellency, everything you want is ready."

A voice suddenly came from the door of the secret room.

"Please come in." Liu Ping said.

The door opens.

A thief walked in respectfully, and placed a few cards in front of Liu Ping.

Liu Ping looked one by one, and saw a good set of thief leather armor, double daggers, short swords, bows and arrows, poison, small grenades, night boots, cloaks, enchanted masks, and combat potions.

The thief watched him examine the cards, and said from the side: "They are all items of the great thief level, and they are the best in the guild."

"Not bad." Liu Ping said.

These things can’t be said to be very good, and there is nothing special about them, but they should be sharp and light, should be light and light, and should be deadly and deadly, enough to play a thief by themselves.

"Your Excellency, there is one more thing."

"what?"

"The City Lord's Mansion sent people today to search the entire city of Fren like a mad dog, and they have arrived at our place."

"Is there anything I need to do?" Liu Ping asked.

The thief smiled wryly, and said: "Many things that our Thieves Guild has done are not on the table, and many brothers have offended the City Lord's Mansion. If you have offended the City Lord's Mansion, please come with me to escape for a while."

"Then let's go." Liu Ping said.

He stood up, followed the thief out, and walked all the way to the depths of the Thieves Union.

After crossing long corridors and passing through several hidden secret passages, Liu Ping entered the depths of the ground and came to a large dry and cool room.

There are already some people here.

Looking around, lines of small characters quickly appeared above their heads:

"The great thief."

"assassin."

"The great thief."

"Shadow Assassin (Title Assassin)."

"Treasure Thief Master (Title Thief)."

"Walker (title Rogue)."

"..."

They are all good players.

Liu Ping withdrew his gaze, found a chair to sit down, and began to fiddle with the newly acquired poison.

Poison is a very interesting thing.

It can help one overcome enemies that were otherwise impossible to defeat.

Liu Ping himself also has rich experience in using poisons. This is the first time he has come into contact with poisons outside the world of practice, so he soon immersed himself in his own research.

"The blue poison... read the label and said it is specially designed to make people fall asleep, but unfortunately there is no ingredient statement? There is no expiration date?"

Liu Ping complained while watching.

Suddenly, the surrounding discussions stopped.

An old man appeared in this secret room, looking towards many thieves and assassins.

He was the one who made the deal with Liu Ping before.

——After he was promoted to a great thief, Liu Ping found out that he was the branch president of the Fulun City Thieves Guild.

"Everyone."

"You are all good hands who walk in the shadows, and now I have a temporary job, let's see which one of you is willing to take it."

"What work?" someone asked.

"Fren City has become less peaceful. Some people are eager to leave here and need some guards—of course, they have also recruited a lot of people from other guilds. Now they want to recruit ten masters from our thieves' union. Above the big thief." The old man said.

"It's the leaders of those chambers of commerce." A title assassin said.

"That's right, the leaders of several major chambers of commerce will leave in an hour for the joint mission, so if you are interested, please come forward quickly so that I can concentrate my manpower." The old man said.

"Haha, what a bunch of cowards. Even if something goes wrong with Viscount Ayton, Fren City will not be affected. If he dies, wouldn't there be more benefits here?" Another big thief said.

Everyone had a look of nothing to do, and no one stood up for a while.

Liu Pingben also withdrew his gaze, and was about to continue studying the poison in his hand, when a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

wrong……

If you want to talk about secret news, the Thieves Guild naturally knows more than those merchants.

But businessmen have wider knowledge than thieves, and they can get in touch with some people with higher status on weekdays, and they are naturally sensitive to many things.

They hurried away, they must have found something.

What kind of situation is it that makes these guys with keen sense of smell eager to leave Fulun City?
Liu Ping asked in a muffled voice: "Master President, who will lead the Thieves Guild this time?"

The old man glanced at Liu Ping and said, "I will go there myself."

——The president is leaving.

Liu Ping stood up, walked to his side and said:

"Count me in."

The old man looked at him, hesitating for a while.

Liu Ping's heart tightened even more.

hesitate?

——If it is an ordinary escort mission, even if the president is not sure about his own strength, at least the two parties have just made a deal, and he will push the boat forward and let himself join in.

But the branch leader of the Thieves Guild hesitated.

Obviously, he didn't want to sell this face, but was thinking about the mission.

Considering the task——

Well, what he wants is a good player.

Why do you want to be good?

Liu Ping was silent.

——Naturally, it was because the president agreed with the judgment of those businessmen, so he wanted to arrange good hands.

It seems that this time we have to leave, we must not stay.

Of course, leaving alone is safer than following a large caravan with powerful guards.

At this time, all the thieves and assassins looked at Liu Ping.

Someone shouted, "How did such a teenage boy become a great thief?"

A look of embarrassment flashed across the branch president's face.

Liu Ping smiled at the man, "Because I killed a lot of arrogant guys like you."

The man's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "You're courting death!"

Gray mist exploded from where he stood, and he disappeared into the mist.

Liu Ping slowly drew out the dagger, shook his head and said, "The jump is too high."

He raised his dagger and stabbed obliquely forward.

next moment.

The thief suddenly appeared in mid-air, and Liu Ping's dagger had already reached his neck——

But this scene seemed like the two had played a perfect coordination, the thief sent himself to Liu Ping's sword, ready to seek death.

Liu Ping's sword didn't stop, and he slashed at the thief's neck.

Everyone's face changed.

one move.

With just one move, these two colleagues are going to die separately!

--when!

Liu Ping's dagger was blocked by Personality.

At the same time, that person was also kicked out.

"President?"

Liu Ping looked at the old man who was blocking his long and short sword, and said with a smile: "He provoked first."

The old man stared at him and said, "I remember you said that you don't like killing people."

"I'm sorry, I thought highly of him - actually I've already stopped." Liu Ping spread his hands.

Everyone looked at his other hand, and saw that he was holding a dagger in his backhand, which was coated with a layer of green poison.

It turns out that this is killing!

When the president kicked that person away just now, the dagger flew out——

Whether that person can live is another matter.

——What a dangerous guy.

The crowd fell silent.

The old man coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, this is a colleague who was just promoted to a great thief today, don't underestimate him."

He patted Liu Ping on the shoulder and motioned Liu Ping to stand behind him.

"Okay, ten people are needed for this mission. Besides me and him, who else is willing to make this trip?" the old man asked.

Liu Ping took a few steps back and retracted the dagger and short sword.

okay.

Having done the scene just now, the president has already approved his joining.

but--

What are the businessmen afraid of?
Liu Ping leaned against the wall, thinking while waiting boredly.
