Most of King Riyao’s are of the Royal Court, cos for control of the ruins Meanwhile, it also doubled as his first line of defense Behind it were the ca, and his own, all of theh torches and horns, they could support each other at any tinable and refused the protection of the Dragon King He had his oay of guarding against assassins Since the assassins loved the darkness, he had ‘ordered’ for darkness to never fall

So in the ca which o so far as to make sure that all the torches in the main tent remained lit even on rainy days

This move could not be said to be entirely useless Gu Shenwei saw it as an insur killers

He and Hu shi+ning personally led the tearoup containing three to five people They would sneak into the camp in batches, leave a mark at the farthest point they could reach, and then return safely without disturbing any of the sentries

This wasn’t a foolproof drill King Riyao’s guards would not spare any exposed killers and if anything happened, the Dragon King would also deny that the assassin had been one of his roups returned successfully The last group, which Gu Shenwei joined in person, had five roup was assigned the special task of checking the roups This roups while going as far as possible

Sneaking directly into a target area could be very risky and Gu Shenwei seldo outside forces help hi the Second Consort and sneaking into the palace But sneaking into the target area was a basic skill of the killer and was always a choice when there was no other way, and also a skill of his that had never rusted

Nie Zeng and those teenagers appeared quite mature and didn’t say a word the entire trip Everyone knehere to be and also kne to change the forroup when encountering complex road conditions

The roups of killers were simple such as a deep mark carved on one of the torches The results were alroup that went the farthest was still a stone’s throw fro Riyao’s bedchamber, which was surrounded by many tents so that one couldn’t even throw a secret weapon

The torch was a threat to the killers but it wasn’t as effective as King Riyao Tuosai had expected it to be The so-called ‘as bright as day’ was just a description because even if it really were daytime, there were still lots of shadows left to become a killers’ hideout

The most direct threat was still people The steady strea the killers at bay

But even the best patrols had loopholes The soldiers would eventually repeat their routes As time went on, they would become more and more distracted until the patrols finally became a nor around So as he stood completely still

It would be very risky, of course, to rely on the fatigue and laxness of the soldiers on patrol But with h patience, the risk could be minimized

Gu Shenwei had planned and performed many assassinations in his life And from the very first day, he had understood the fact that there was no perfect plan in the world but the good neas that there was also no target that wouldn’t make a mistake in the world

A plan was like the red line of a map One had to rely on it to find the direction and deter, one had to adjust the route according to the actual terrain, which was based on experience and intuition and could never be planned in advance

A good killer knew only how to find loopholes and exploit the instructor could only provide so had proved that he was a qualified killer leader He successfully found the carved roups of killers; now, he had to prove his excellence

Gu Shenwei didn’t make any requests for theto er was secretly approaching the bedcha Riyao, he and three other killers closely followed behind

It was always darkest right before dawn and also usually thehad chosen the right moment but the short distance still took theh undetected The five killers were so close to the ure in it

The secure location was changing all the time, and the five killers could only stay for a very short period of tih to launch a quick assassination but not enough to observe for too long

Nie Zeng didn’t h the tent and rush in to kill King Riyao who he was not at all familiar with

Gu Shenwei could even feel the sudden rise of nervousness of the three teenage killers

At the lastturned around to retreat
