Mortal Immortal Gourd

Chapter 303 Using oneself as bait

Sanyang Prefecture.

Since Huang Laocai took the anti-aging pill, he has become healthy and energetic, and his cultivation has also been improved to the late stage of Qi training.

He really has the hope of breaking through to the foundation building stage and having a lifespan of 200 years.

Huang Laocai, who saw hope, is now more motivated to do things.

However, Sanyang Prefecture has encountered a big trouble recently.

There have been assassinations in many places one after another, specifically assassinating those grassroots officials who are loyal to Zhang Junshou.

These officials are not strong, and most of them are only in the Qi training stage, but they are responsible for many specific affairs.

In a month, more than 50 people have died.

On average, more than one person is assassinated every day.

As a result, the grassroots officials of the entire Sanyang Prefecture are worried, not knowing whether they will be the next one.

Every night when they lie down, they don’t know whether they can see the sun tomorrow.

Huang Laocai looked at the volumes of assassination cases and was shocked.

If the killing continues like this, the entire Sanyang Prefecture will be in chaos.

It took more than ten years for Sanyang County to become prosperous today and a treasure land with a population of millions.

This is Er Gouzi's wealth, and it also embodies Huang Laocai's years of hard work. If anyone wants to destroy and mess up Sanyang County, he will be the first to disagree.

But he has sent people out to investigate for a long time, and these assassins are elusive and have not been caught.

After thinking for a long time, Huang Laocai came up with a plan.

He called his son Huang Mancang over and gave him instructions for a while. The next day he left the county government and walked around the city.

There are many masters in the county government, and the defense is relatively strict. This time he walked out of the door, wanting to use himself as bait to lure the killer to show up.

It stands to reason that the value of assassinating Huang Laocai is the greatest, but the killer has not yet taken action against him.

Huang Laocai suspected that the assassin might not be strong enough.

Since the killer could not find an opportunity, Huang Laocai helped him create an assassination opportunity.

He walked alone with his hands behind his back, wandering around crowded places in the city, walking aimlessly.

He wandered around all day like this, and nothing happened.

Then the second day, the third day, the assassin did not show up.

On the fourth day, Huang Laocai was walking on the street, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him where there was no one.

This person was wearing a black cloak and holding a black short sword. With a whoosh, he stabbed Huang Laocai.

The two were close to each other. Huang Laocai's cultivation was not high to begin with, and he had no combat experience. How could he block this sharp sword?

However, when Huang Laocai saw the assassin's appearance, he was not panicked, but smiled.

"Finally, I waited until you came out."

Before Huang Laocai finished speaking, the assassin's entire arm holding the sword had fallen to the ground.

The assassin failed to hit the target, and he didn't even want to pick up his hand that fell on the ground. He turned around and wanted to escape.

However, before he could escape, the knife flashed, and his two legs were broken at the knees.

The assassin fell to the ground, and then he looked back and saw that there was a young man standing next to Huang Laocai, looking at him with a teasing look.

"Snotbag, you are quite quick, you really scared me just now." Huang Laocai praised him, and sat on the ground panting, sweating profusely, it seems that he was really scared just now. It turned out that during the days when he was walking outside, Snotbag was wearing a black invisible cloak, always following him, never leaving his side. This invisible cloak was brought back by Ergouzi, and after being upgraded in his gourd, the invisible effect is even better. At this time, Snotbag held a sword, pried open the assassin's mouth, and took out a poison from his mouth to prevent the assassin from committing suicide. The assassin was also tough. He didn't even groan at this moment after having his two legs and one arm chopped off. "Take him back to the mansion for strict interrogation." Huang Laocai gave an order and walked towards the county government. Snotbag picked up the assassin and followed behind. "Swoosh!" Suddenly, a sharp arrow pierced the void and shot straight at Snotbag. This arrow carries a powerful force and is extremely fast. It came with a sharp whistling sound and reached the chest in the blink of an eye.

Snotbag has made rapid progress in his cultivation over the years. In just a moment, a layer of light shield formed around his body.

This is his extraordinary talent. Others need to hum and groan for a long time to prepare for a spell, but he can do it almost instantly.

The sharp arrow hit the spell shield and could not move forward.

This arrow failed to sneak attack on Snotbag, and several arrows whizzed in the air.

These arrows were shot at Huang Laocai and the assassin on the ground respectively.

Several arrows were shot at the same time, with a large number and strong force. If Snotbag saved Huang Laocai, he would not be able to save the assassin.

If he kept this person alive, he might be able to torture him out of a lot of useful information.

"Hey!"

"A trick!"

Snotbag sniffed habitually, and several wooden thorns suddenly appeared around him.

This was just an ordinary wooden spike technique, but what was rare was that he could complete the spell in an instant.

These wooden spikes flew towards the arrows flying in the air, and the two collided in the air, knocking all the arrows to the ground.

While he was shooting down these arrows, two figures on his roof in the distance had already started fighting, and violent spiritual fluctuations were heard.

It turned out that Huang Laocai had heard Qiuyue say that the assassination habits of this group of killers were usually in groups of three.

He had gone out to lure the enemy these days and had made sufficient preparations, not just with Snotbag.

After firing several rounds, the assassin had already exposed his hiding place and had been targeted.

In the territory of Sanyang County, it was only a matter of time before these assassins were caught once they showed up.

He just guessed that there should be another assassin who had not shown up.

Now that the enemy had been alerted, he might not show up in the short term.

For the time being, he could only take the people back with the snot bag.

Not long after returning to the county government, the assassin hiding on the roof was also caught, and his legs were also chopped off.

Huang Laocai had the two assassins detained separately and tortured.

These people in the government office were familiar with the torture of prisoners, so Huang Laocai didn't need to worry about it.

What worried him most now was that the assassin might have an accomplice left.

He used himself as bait to lure out two assassins. This trick had been used once, and it would definitely not work again.

I was in the light, and the enemy was in the dark. It was not easy to find the remaining assassin.

Just when Huang Laocai was worried, the gatekeeper suddenly ran in to report.

"Master, someone just threw a big sack at the door and left."

"What sack?"

Huang Laocai was a little curious.

"Look at the shape of the sack, there may be a person inside."

"Come in and take a look!"

Huang Laocai just said this, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

What if the last assassin was hiding in the sack, and when he went to check, he suddenly stabbed himself in the chest.

"Snotbag, take a few people to help me open it and check it out."

"Okay."

Snotbag turned around and was about to go out.

"Be careful, call a few more masters, if there is an assassin inside, it will be troublesome."

The group walked to the door and saw a big sack leaning against the wall. From the outline, it can be seen that there should be a person lying inside.

Snotbag gently picked up the sack with a sword, revealing the figure inside.

Sure enough, it was the same as the outfit of the two assassins caught before, and it was very likely that it was the remaining assassin, who was now in a coma.

In addition to this person, there was also a note in the sack.

Huang Laocai then walked over to pick up the piece of paper and examined it.

"A small gift."

Huang Laocai looked at the note, and the handwriting was square and he couldn't recognize whose handwriting it was.

This was strange, who would give him a gift?

And the person in the sack was very likely the remaining assassin.
