Chapter 170 Plateau City

In front of you is a city standing on a plateau.

The road to the city is not only rough, but also very complicated.

Fortunately, the three of Zhao Longyuan can bypass the obstacle and don't have to rely on horses.

Gaoyuan City is one of the key fortresses for Donghua Kingdom to fight against West Chu Kingdom.

The plateau endows the city with the characteristics of being easy to defend and difficult to attack.

For many years, Xiahou Wuji has been guarding here to fight against the Western Chu army.

His harassing tactics made the people of Xichu hate him deeply.

A general of the Western Chu Kingdom once said that if Xiahou Wuji could be killed, his head must be beheaded and hung on the city gate for public display, so as to dispel all hatred in his heart.

Xiahou Wuji is very proud of this, for him, the more the enemy hates him, the more he can demonstrate his strength.

The air in Plateau City is very fresh, but the supplies in the city are not rich.

After all, transporting goods to such a high place is a test for many businessmen.

Therefore, Gaoyuan City is an important military town, and its commerce is not well developed.

But the people here like to raise cattle, and the braised beef is very delicious.

Xuanyuan Qing came here, and soon enjoyed this delicious food with Zhao Longyuan.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhao Longyuan began to ask around and ask the local people.

It didn't take long for him to find the General's Mansion.

There are many soldiers guarding the gate.

But they are very warm to the people in the past.

Xiahou Wuji is such a general, he often receives the people in person, and he can be regarded as loving the people like a son.

Therefore, in the hearts of the people in Gaoyuan City, he is a great general.

The three of Zhao Longyuan also entered it smoothly and came to visit as businessmen.

In the main hall, a radiant general was sitting there drinking tea.

He was wearing armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist, a fair face, and a pair of rough hands with many scars caused by swords.

This person is Xiahou Wuji.

Zhao Longyuan stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I pay my respects to General Xiahou."

His current identity is a businessman from Donghua Kingdom, not from the world.

Xiahou Wuji was also very polite: "Brother, why are you looking for this general?"

Zhao Longyuan: "Lord Xiahou, I want to come to Plateau City to do business. Is it possible?"

Xiahou Wuji: "Of course, it's just that it's very difficult to transport goods here. It will take a lot of time and money. You need to be prepared."

Zhao Longyuan asked again: "General Xiahou, you have been staying in Gaoyuan City for a long time, what is your attitude towards the imperial court?"

Xiahou Wuji's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Longyuan: "Perhaps General Xiahou also knows that the government is controlled by the Queen Mother, and we do business naturally want to curry favor with the Queen Mother. What is the relationship between General Xiahou and the Queen Mother?"

He said this on purpose to test Xiahou Wuji's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Xiahou Wuji's complexion darkened, and he sighed: "The queen mother has nothing to do with this general, if you want to use the queen mother's relationship to gain benefits from this general, you should give up on it."

Zhao Longyuan pretended to be puzzled: "Oh? Could it be that General Xiahou doesn't want to obey the Queen Mother?"

Xiahou Wuji: "She is in charge of the government, and this general has no right to intervene, but this general has the final say on matters concerning the plateau city. If you want this general to help you, of course you can, but if you want to use the power of the queen mother, you still have to Find another wise man."

Hearing this, Zhao Longyuan couldn't help but nodded: "I understand, I'll take my leave now, sorry to bother you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The system prompts: "The secret agent mission has been completed, [Breaking Crazy Knife] has been upgraded to the proficient level, and the three sword skills of [Drunk Lying on the Battlefield], [Shocking the Heroes], and [Thousands of Miles Knife Light] are obtained."

The related sword moves also entered Zhao Longyuan's mind.

Coming outside the General's Mansion, Cao Lingyu said, "It seems that Xiahou Wuji is indeed dissatisfied with the Queen Mother."

Xuanyuan Qing: "Yes, it is reasonable for Xiahou Wuji to be dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager who takes power and secretly monitors the ministers."

Zhao Longyuan nodded: "It makes sense."

He then said: "Maybe the Empress Dowager knows this too, so we have to secretly protect General Xiahou to prevent him from being harmed."

Xuanyuan Qing: "Okay, as long as you can enjoy delicious food in Gaoyuan City, it doesn't matter how long you stay."

Cao Lingyu smiled brightly: "As long as I accompany Daxia Zhao, I will be satisfied."

Seeing that the two agreed, Zhao Longyuan also smiled slightly and said no more.

In the days that followed, they tried to knock out several soldiers, used the [Disguise Technique] to dress up as the opponent, and entered the general's mansion many times to investigate secretly.

In addition, everyone is also moving around the city, looking for clues.

After repeated investigations, Zhao Longyuan finally discovered the traces of the Bliss Gang.

This group of people has come to the plateau city, planning a secret operation.

But for the past two months, they have been standing still, not knowing what they were doing.

On this day, the three of Zhao Longyuan climbed over the high wall and entered the house.

【Romantic Swordsman! 】He raised his hands and threw a series of throwing knives.

"Whoosh, whoosh!" Countless cold lights flashed, and the disciples of the Bliss Gang couldn't dodge in time, and were directly pierced through the throat.

Zhao Longyuan took the opportunity to drag the corpses of these people to a hiding place, took off the clothes of the other party, put them on his body, and asked Xuanyuan Qing to use the secret fire technique to turn the corpses of the other party into ashes.

After getting ready, the three of them used the [Disguise Technique] to change into each other's appearance, and began to act inside the house.

Going all the way, Zhao Longyuan soon came to the square.

I saw many square tables placed here, and a large number of Bliss Gang disciples were drinking.

Among them are two thousand black-faced swordsmen and heavy axemen.

The martial arts of these people have reached the highest level of transformation.

In addition, there is a tall young man with long brown hair.

This person was wearing a gray and white robe, with two judge pens around his waist, a mustache, and a pointed chin. He looked a little scary.

He is Lin Jueqing, the helmsman of the Bliss Gang in Plateau City.

At this time, he was holding the wine jar, drinking heavily, and telling his disciples about himself.

Lin Jueqing was originally an ordinary man, but was abandoned by his parents because of poverty.

Since then, he joined the evil sect and lived a life of robbing houses.

Later, Xiahou Jing appreciated him and let him join the Bliss Gang.

Lin Jueqing's housekeeping skill is "Judge's Divine Art", a pair of judge pens are superbly used.

Zhao Longyuan figured out the other party's identity after a little inquiring.

I heard Lin Jueqing ask; "Has General Xiahou left?"

Bliss Gang disciple: "Report Master Lin, he didn't do anything, just kept a low profile."

Lin Jueqing: "That's good. I have enough patience. If he stays here honestly, I will never kill him. If he dares to obey the emperor's instructions and leave Gaoyuan City, I will kill him!"

Hearing this, Zhao Longyuan suddenly realized, and fully understood the reason why the Bliss Gang remained silent.

The system prompts: "A new spy mission has been started."

Mission objective: kill Lin Jueqing and the masters of the Bliss Gang here, and protect Xiahou Wuji.

Mission reward: [Galaxy Sword Art] practice opportunity.

Zhao Longyuan nodded secretly, ready to do it.
