Chapter 502 21 Legalist Action Team
"Crescent Chamber of Commerce is late!"
After returning to the room, Concubine Xue put down the "Book of Shang Jun" in her hand, and at the same time took out two transparent daggers as thin as cicada wings from her two water sleeves.
The short sword is about 1 foot long and has no hilt or scabbard.
An ordinary person wouldn't even be able to see clearly where to hold it. However, Concubine Xue was able to hide two transparent daggers close to her body. This is because she has been carrying these two thin blades close to her body since she was 6 years old.
Legalist assassins cannot fly with swords.
The flying sword looks cool, but for assassins, what they need is to kill the target accurately and quietly.
Flying swords that are opened and closed obviously cannot do this. Daggers, poisons and hidden swords are more suitable for assassins to carry out secret operations.
"The normal appointment time is tonight. We have carefully explained all the precautions to this group of dirty and greasy cannibals. If they still can't do anything to the five golden elixir sword cultivators under the cover of the wind and sand,"
"All I can say is that they are completely unworthy of working with us."
The hotel rooms made of snow-white marble have extremely high ceilings. In addition to Concubine Xue, there are three other figures sitting or standing in the room.
The person who just spoke was a middle-aged servant woman who was in her 40s. She was wearing a rough shirt and a gray rag draped over her shoulders. Judging from the top of the page, she should be Concubine Xue's maid.
But secretly, this middle-aged servant girl is indeed a poison master.
In the Legalist Assassin Organization, her code name is "Thrush". At first glance, she sounds harmless to humans and animals, and she doesn't even think about poison at all.
This is also in line with the basic principles of the Assassin organization, which is to do everything possible to hide one's identity.
"They will only be trapped by the wind and sand for a few days at most. We have made precise judgments before setting off. With the combat capabilities of the cavalry of the 'Crescent Trading Company', no one among the trading companies walking on this road can resist Can withstand their impact."
The second speaker was an old man who was over fifty years old and had some gray hair and beard. He was wearing an exquisite butler's uniform, and the work he was really good at was providing accommodation, cooking, and purchasing various materials needed for action.
In the drama stage, a lone hero goes deep into the tiger's den, secretly approaches the target at the right time, and then delivers a fatal blow.
However, in the real world, nothing goes so smoothly.
Especially in a foreign country, the biggest challenge every day is actually three meals a day and accommodation at night.
If any aspect of logistical support is not handled well, various accidents may occur during the operation. The butler's code name is "Gannet". No one knows his origins. They only know that he is the oldest member of the Legalist Assassin Organization.
Uncle Tang doesn't know how to kill people.
This is even an open secret in the Legalist school. However, there are specialties in the art industry, and he only needs to do the part he can do well.
Uncle Tang is the only butler in the world.
He speaks 29 languages and is also a disguiser.
He always has 30 human skin masks in his package, and he can skillfully use the "Moist Disguise Technique" to transform anyone into the desired appearance within 3 minutes.
He himself is a master of disguise.
After changing his makeup, his appearance, accent, and even living habits are exactly the same as those of indigenous people from all over the world.
No one can blend into the local residents faster than him. Therefore, he has an unparalleled advantage in finding paths, gathering intelligence, purchasing items, and connecting with hidden piles.
Since coming out of the mountain, "Thrush", "Gannet" and Concubine Xue, codenamed "Oriole", have formed a three-person action team. The only superior of the three of them was a Legalist mentor code-named "Lao Bustard".
All actions were taken by three people traveling together and completed together.
But this time, the Madam added a fourth person to their team.
The fourth person is different from Concubine Xue.
This man was a blond Visigoth.

"Being friendly to foreign friends" may be the only thing that "Confucianism" and "Legalism" have in common.
However, the starting points of the two factions are different.
Confucian teachers hoped to spread the Confucian idea of "fraternity" to every corner of the world. Therefore, for most of the duration of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was always open to blond and blue-eyed foreigners.
As long as Westerners, Indians, Arabs, Fusang people, and even Kunlun slaves could pass the imperial examination, they could enter the Imperial College to study, and even serve as officials in the court.
As for the Legalist school, in their eyes, foreigners and their own people are almost the same, they are all knives that can be used.
If foreigners can be used to eliminate foreigners, this would be the happiest thing in the world for Legalist disciples.
Therefore, there has never been a shortage of aliens in the assassin schools established by the Legalist School.
This young Visigoth named Heath Blanche also came from the Legalist school and was a graduate who came out five years earlier than Concubine Xue. He has been lurking in the Western Continent for a long time, waiting for the recruitment of Legalist teachers at any time.

The basic principle of assassins' outbound operations is to alternate between light and dark to provide mutual cover.
No matter how meticulous the operation mission is in the early stage, there is still a possibility that the news will leak out in the Western Continent where there are "fire-spreading gangs" everywhere.
In order to deal with this situation, the Assassin Organization requires that both parties must travel for each major mission.
One side is in the light, the other side is in the dark.
Heath Blanche is Concubine Xue's cover.
On weekdays, the two pretended to have no contact and were like strangers. After the mission began, Heath and Concubine Xue would approach the mission target at the same time.
If Heath was exposed, he would do everything he could to create chaos and create an opportunity for Concubine Xue to take action.
Similarly, if Concubine Xue was unable to take action or was forced to leave, Heath Blanche would be the backup option for this operation.
"Friends from East Continent, you can be calm!"
Like all the residents from the Visigothic Free City, Heath is cheerful and casual.
"You are new to this strange continent, but I have been here for several years."
"Believe me, even without the information you provided, these crazy believers of the God of Fire would look for every opportunity to fight the Tang people to death. "How long have you enjoyed the name of the 'Heavenly Kingdom'?"
"You don't know how much these crazy people want to trample you under their feet. "
Just as Concubine Xue was about to speak, she suddenly felt an inexplicable burning sensation in her chest.
In this operation, her identity was a Tang noble. Since she was a noble, she naturally had to wear the open-chested silk shirt that Tang women often wore, exposing her upright chest and snow-white arms.
Concubine Xue, who was born as an assassin, did not like this kind of dress, especially after feeling the fiery gaze of this Western lecher, she subconsciously wanted to cover the snow-white ravine on her chest.
But she couldn't do that.
The lion is old, but its power is still there, even though the Tang Dynasty no longer has the dominance of the past. The identity of a lady of an official family is still like a golden signboard, enough for her to travel unimpeded in any land.
Now her identity is a lady of an official family from the Tang Dynasty in the East. She entered the city of Memphis to buy the mercury magic potion in the hands of the Styx priest to keep her youth forever. .
A normal young lady from an official family would not avoid the gaze of a man, so she must learn to adapt.
The girl in front of him blushed, but Heath sat upright. He worked in the same department, and he had heard a lot about Concubine Xue's deeds.
Don't look at this woman's fair and translucent skin, and even a hint of baby fat on her round face, looking harmless. But this person is more dangerous than many long-known assassins in the gang.
Dingling
A faint bell sounded from a distance, Heath raised a finger, closed his eyes, and listened carefully.
"Listen"
Concubine Xue grabbed the glass dagger on the round table again and stuffed it into her sleeve, standing on the balcony, only to see the city gate that was about to be closed being opened again by the soldiers, and the pleasant sound of camel bells rang
A camel caravan that could not be seen from the beginning to the end was passing through the gate and entering the city of Memphis.
