Chapter 129 The store’s plan
Li Ji left quietly, and no one except Zhou Bai and Yang Chang knew the specific time of his departure.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Taichang just had more patrolling soldiers than before, but to the monks in the city, it was like sitting on pins and needles, and some of the timid ones left on their own after a few days.

Why, it’s not because the pressure inside and outside the city is too great.

There are tens of thousands of troops stationed outside the city, and there are various secret sentries and monks watching inside the city. It's fine if they don't do anything. The slightest movement will attract many pairs of eyes.

How could they dare to stay longer under such circumstances? They could only get out of their own way.

Within seven days, there was no more monks in Taichang City, and they all left cleanly.

However, their departure did not relax the defenses inside and outside the city.

The soldiers and monks in the city carried out patrols in an orderly manner, guarding no corner.

Li Ji's departure this time is the best way for them to prove themselves. If they do well, it goes without saying that they will be promoted to a higher position. If they neglect any point, it will be a matter of losing their lives!

Zhou Bai was also paying attention to the movements in the city all the time.

Within the scope of his perception, there were still a few sneaky monks hiding in the city, but they were just small fish and shrimps. He took advantage of the night to ask the military disciples at the East City Gate to open the city gate for him, go in, catch all these people, and throw them away. Outside the city.

This is what Li Ji told him, as long as he senses something is wrong, he will nip it in the cradle, and someone will help him deal with the consequences afterwards.

At this point, the city is completely clean.

……

At the same time, in a small town inn a hundred miles away from Taichang City, several people with stern faces were sitting in the guest room discussing something.

There was a burner of incense burning on the table between them, and the faint smoke enveloped the entire room. At this moment, even if someone passed by the door, they could not hear the slightest movement inside.

And among these people there is a figure that everyone is familiar with.

That is Jiang Zhi.

At this time, he put away his usual feminine look and sat at the table with a solemn expression.

"Xiao Jiang, are you sure Li Ji has left?"

A white-haired old man sitting in the main seat looked at Jiang Zhi and asked lightly.

The latter seemed to be very afraid of this old man, and immediately bowed and said: "The news is correct, Li Ji must have left Sui Dynasty!"

"Well, this time because of your arrogance, the mission failed and the Great Zhou was destroyed. Now is your chance to make up for it. Are you willing?"

"My subordinates will definitely live up to the entrustment of the order and will present the head of the Sui Emperor on a certain day!"

"I hope so. If you fail again this time, I don't need to tell you what will happen to you. You can weigh it yourself!"

The old man named Kai Ling snorted expressionlessly, and Jiang Zhi's back was instantly wet with cold sweat.

Fortunately, after issuing the warning, he turned his attention to the other person and asked in a calm tone: "Ao Yin, how is the situation over there!"

A middle-aged man named Ao Yin replied in a muffled voice: "Emperor Daqian is already in my hands and I can start a war at any time!"

"Well, you did a good job. Don't act rashly for now. The Mo family is chasing you very hard. You should follow orders from now on!"

"Yes, give the order!"

Then he ordered and ordered several other people on the table, and received mixed news.

Finally, he put his hands on the table and said: "Everyone, what we are about to start is a huge war that can plunge an entire continent into despair, so each of you is crucial, and the plan cannot be missed. do you understand!"

"understand!"

Hearing everyone's unanimous consent to the order, his expression became a little better, and then he waved them away.After everyone left, only Kai Ling and Jiang Zhi were left in the room.

Kailing stared into Jiang Zhi's eyes and said, "The meeting place was supposed to be on the territory of Da Zhou, but now it is in Da Sui. Xiao Jiang, you disappoint me so much!"

When Jiang Zhi heard this, he immediately knelt down and pressed his forehead against the floor, trembling: "I'm sorry, I was negligent this time. Please give me another chance!"

"Aren't I giving you a chance?"

After raising his hand gently, Jiang Zhi was pulled up by an inexplicable force.

"Xiao Jiang, let me ask you again, do you really not need my help?"

Jiang Zhi shook his head firmly and said: "Thank you for your concern, Master Kailing. I admit that I was too much for you last time. I didn't expect Li Ji's strength to be so terrifying. But Li Ji's departure this time is an opportunity given to me. I will definitely not I’ll miss again!”

"What if I miss it!"

"There will be no such result. If I miss, I would rather die in Taichang City!"

Hearing Jiang Zhi's childish words, he couldn't help but shook his head, and then said: "You, it's easy to die, but what can you do even if you die? It won't help our plan at all. No!"

As soon as Kai Ling finished speaking, before Jiang Zhi could figure out what he meant, Kai Ling tapped his forehead as quickly as possible.

Kai Ling's nails were very hard and long, and with just one stroke, Jiang Zhi's eyebrows drew blood.

"Lord Kailing, what are you..."

Jiang Zhi looked at Kai Ling in confusion, but the latter just showed a kind smile and said: "It's just a little punishment for you. I hope you can remember this failure!"

"Yes, I will definitely not forget it!"

"Go ahead and plan well!"

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Zhi left the room as if he had been granted amnesty.

The former opened the incense burner, pulled out the remaining incense that had not yet burned out, crushed it in his hands, and said to himself: "I hope you won't let me down!"

Jiang Zhi walked out of the room and instantly changed his appearance. He looked exactly like the same person as before. Even his appearance became completely different from before.

He knew very well that the guardian beasts of the Great Sui Dynasty could detect his presence, so he could only change his appearance when walking in the Great Sui Dynasty.

As for others, there is no need to bother.

Jiang Zhi clenched her fists hard when she thought of what Kai Ling had just said to him.

If it weren't for Li Ji, he would have won that match last time, and Da Zhou would also win accordingly.

This time he must not fail again, and the warning he gave was not alarmist.

Besides, now that Li Ji is no longer in Taichang, he is fully confident that he will take off Yang Chang's head and present it to Kailing.

Only in this way can he continue to stay.

Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed in Jiang Zhi's eyes.

Yes, he had to stay, he couldn't go back to that hellish place again.

He took out a silk handkerchief and wiped away the blood on his forehead. Until now, he still didn't understand why Kai Ling gave him such a warning.

With Kai Ling's character, even if he wanted to give him a little punishment to make him remember this failure, he should cut off one of his palms. It would never be so easy.

Why is that?
