Please Show Yourself

After a stick of incense's time, Su Chen walked out of the county yamen, followed by the Yamen Clerk.

"Brave Warrior Yang, take care," the Yamen Clerk said respectfully.

Su Chen nodded, turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing at the end of the street.

Leaving the county yamen, Su Chen did not immediately complete the bounty mission. He first returned home, and then went to the blacksmith shop.

The old blacksmith recognized Su Chen and immediately stepped forward when he saw him. Su Chen asked, "Is my weapon ready?"

"It's ready."

As he spoke, the old blacksmith took out a modified Goose Feather Saber and handed it to Su Chen, "I also modified the scabbard by the way."

Su Chen didn't say much, took the weapon, and after examining it, drew the modified Goose Feather Saber.

The moment he drew it, he heard a 'ding' sound. Looking at the smooth and sharp blade, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Here are twenty taels of silver."

Then, Su Chen took out twenty taels from his pocket and gave it to the old blacksmith, who happily accepted the silver.

Amidst the old blacksmith's joyful smile, Su Chen left the blacksmith shop with the saber.

After the time it takes to eat a meal, Su Chen returned home, changed into a black coat, and his whole person instantly became burly.

He put the modified Goose Feather Saber into his severed arm, close to the hidden arm. After some inspection, he found that there was no difference from usual, and he was relieved.

Then, he tested the convenience. At first, it was a bit sluggish, but after drawing the saber and waving it several times, he gradually became familiar with it.

However, looking at the black coat torn when drawing the saber, Su Chen smiled wryly: "The effect is not bad, but it's quite expensive on clothes."

Fortunately, Su Chen bought enough black coats, so he didn't care.

After practicing for a while, Su Chen stopped: "I don't know if it's because of the new saber, but the movements are still a bit flawed. I'll practice hard at home these two days, so that when I really fight, it's always a little short."

The task entrusted by the county magistrate is three days later, so there is still time.

He plans to take advantage of these two days to practice more, so that when he really makes a move, he will definitely kill with one blow.

Three days passed like flowing water, in the blink of an eye. This day, in the evening.

Su Chen changed into a set of clothes, took the Sleeve Blade and Steel Saber, and left White Stone City.

According to the information provided by the county yamen, his target tonight is called Chu Ming, who is ostensibly a merchant, but is actually secretly colluding with the Rebirth Sect.

He provides the Rebirth Sect with all kinds of information, and the Rebirth Sect uses this information to continuously grow its power.

The government has tried to wipe out the Rebirth Sect rebels many times, but all have failed because the news was leaked in advance.

Tonight, at midnight, Chu Ming will be in contact with the Rebirth Sect rebels in the West Suburban Wilderness. Waiting for them to finish their contact is the best time to strike.

Su Chen doesn't care about their transaction. Anyway, this mission is just to kill Chu Ming.

Although Chu Ming is a merchant, he only values ​​interests. In order to sell information, he has caused many innocent people to sacrifice.

Even some families who accumulated good deeds were destroyed because Chu Ming colluded with the Rebirth Sect.

Soon, Su Chen came to the West Suburban Wilderness, hid his body, and waited for the passage of time.

Time flowed by bit by bit. Suddenly, Su Chen heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from not far away.

With the help of the faint moonlight, Su Chen saw a blurry figure. Only when the person got closer did he recognize that it was Chu Ming.

Seeing that Chu Ming was alone, Su Chen didn't act rashly. Instead, he held his breath even more and concealed himself.

Sure enough, before long, three people jumped down from three trees. Their agile movements made Su Chen's eyes narrow.

"Did you bring the thing?"

All three were dressed in black, their faces covered. When they saw Chu Ming, they lowered their voices and asked.

Su Chen couldn't hear their voices at all, and in the dark, he couldn't judge what they were saying from their lip movements.

Chu Ming nodded, didn't speak, but took out the thing from his bosom and handed it to the leader.

The leader examined it, then looked at Chu Ming. Chu Ming nodded, then suddenly turned around, his eyes scanning around.

Suddenly, Su Chen heard Chu Ming say loudly, "May I ask which hero is hiding in the dark spying on us? Please show yourself!"

Hearing this, Su Chen subconsciously wanted to get up, but he stopped abruptly. He calmed down and didn't make any noise.

But his eyes kept turning, as if trying to find out where the person Chu Ming had discovered was.

"I've been lying in ambush here for so long, and I haven't noticed anyone else appearing. How did this guy discover me?"

After watching for a while, Su Chen didn't find anyone else, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"Could it be that he discovered me? But that's impossible. I'm tens of meters away from him, and I've been holding my breath all the time. How could he have discovered me? And when did he discover me?"

As he was thinking this, Chu Ming's voice sounded again, "If you are unwilling to show yourself, then don't blame me for taking action myself."

Su Chen still didn't move, continuing to crawl, staring at Chu Ming, waiting for him to make a move.

He planned to kill Chu Ming with one blow when he attacked him, and then take the opportunity to leave before the three others could react.

But as he waited, Su Chen noticed something was wrong. After Chu Ming finished speaking, he just walked around and didn't make a move.

In addition, Su Chen also discovered that the other three were the same.

Seeing this scene, Su Chen understood that he had almost been tricked by them.

"What 'I've already discovered you' is just a trick to fool children. I almost fell for it!"

Su Chen was a little speechless. Fortunately, he was cautious and didn't immediately expose himself after hearing the other party's words.

Otherwise, he would probably be surrounded by the four of them now.

Shaking his head, he calmed his mood. Su Chen didn't show up until Chu Ming left.

"Damn it, these guys are even more insidious than me!"

Because he had almost been tricked just now, Su Chen deliberately kept an eye out. After they left, he didn't show himself.

Sure enough, before long, he saw the three who had left return and hide in the trees, silently observing the movements around them.

If Su Chen had gotten up just now, he might have been discovered by the three of them.

After waiting for another period of time, Su Chen watched the three figures disappear, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Clearly, he hadn't even made a move against Chu Ming yet, but he felt even more exhausted than having a good fight. These guys really had eight hundred hearts!

Su Chen stood up, dusted off the weeds from his body, his expression changing uncertainly. After a long while, his eyes flickered.

"This Chu Ming is much more cautious than I imagined."

"If I really acted directly against Chu Ming according to the information given by the government, I'm afraid I would fall into his trap."

"Let's abandon tonight's action. It's not too late to act after I investigate Chu Ming's route myself. Anyway, Tao Wenxuan didn't give me a deadline!"

Thinking this, Su Chen did not head in the direction Chu Ming left, but instead left in another direction.
