【0054】 Part-time job
Although Yasuo has been distressed by the failure of his mission, in fact, what he did has quietly set off a different storm in Ionia and even the entire Runeterra.
This storm has more or less affected the fate of many people - for example, Tyrone is now greatly affected.
If there was no Yasuo, maybe Talon would be able to be an assassin under the command of Du Kecao, a sharp blade hidden in the darkness. But because of Yasuo's actions, the resistance of the entire Ionia is far stronger.
It far exceeded expectations, and coupled with the frequent troubles caused by pig teammates, Du Kecao inevitably had other thoughts.
Although the general does not require everyone under his command to be versatile in both civil and military affairs, but... at least there should be no idiots like that idiot Urgot.
Therefore, for the sake of training, Du Kecao gave Tai Lung greater authority for this operation.
In the past, Tai Lung's mission was to "specify a specified time, a specified place, and kill the specified person" - but this time, Tai Lung needs to collect information by himself, formulate a plan by himself, and kill the target by himself.
Tools become tool people.
In other words, if Yasuo hadn't been causing trouble everywhere, Talon wouldn't have gotten this opportunity to personally formulate an assassination plan - he would only have the sword, not the person holding it.
As for General Du Cacault's expectations, Tailong was also vaguely aware that the information for this operation needed to be redeemed by himself rather than received directly, which in itself had a different meaning than before.
This is why Tai Lung chose to agree to the extraneous condition of the War Stonemason. Normally, Tai Lung would not agree to mix other things into the mission, but this mission is really special, and Tai Lung wants to ask for help.
General Du Couture showed himself, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to the terms of the war mason.
……………………
After reading the relevant information about Yasuo, to be honest, Talon also felt a little troubled - this guy seemed to be the biggest thorn in the entire Ionia, but he was able to jump to the present, so he was obviously not an easy character to deal with.
From the intelligence point of view, Yasuo not only has a flexible mind, but also has considerable combat power. If you want to deal with this kind of guy, the plan must be rigorous enough, and the killing move must appear at the last moment, and it must be a one-hit kill!
Therefore, Tai Lung, who was cautious, formulated a slightly more complicated plan.
The most important part of this complex assassination plan is the need for some unreliable mercenaries as cover.
And speaking of mercenaries...this is a very interesting group.
When the news spread that Noxus had conquered Weili, the Noxians were naturally excited and enthusiastically joined the army, but outside Noxus, there were also quite a few ambitious people - these people all wanted to
I want to take advantage of the war to make a fortune.
Therefore, many people used Weili as a breakthrough point, approached the military port in large ships, then rowed small boats to the shore, and entered Ionia through the gap opened by the Noxians.
Among these people are adventurers from Piltover, experienced gangsters from Zaun, pirate sailors from Bilgewater, and even slaves from Shurima - and Noxus has the spirit of exhaustion.
In principle, I am willing to give them some scraps in exchange for solving some minor troubles.
Thus, a new group of mercenaries was born.
These mercenaries are not professional soldiers, but a group that can explore, kill, hunt for treasures, and find out information. As long as you give them gold coins, they can do anything.
Previously, the bounties of Elder Summa and Yong En were given to the mercenaries.
Now, Tai Lung plans to increase Yasuo's bounty on the one hand and let the idle mercenaries cause some trouble to Yasuo; on the other hand, he plans to organize a team of mercenaries as a second-level cover, and then hide himself among the mercenaries.
Among the soldiers, carry out the most critical assassination.
In this way, at Talon's request, Yasuo's bounty finally surpassed that of his teacher and brother, and along with his bounty spread throughout Ionia, there was also his high-definition and uncensored portrait.
At the same time, Tai Lung spent another amount of money to recruit a group of mercenaries and followed him eastward. Although he did not know the exact location of Yasuo and the Wuji Sword Sect, he was certain that they
Their destination can only be Prexidian.
The best way to assassinate is to wait for work.
……………………
In the evening of that day, Tailong saw the team of mercenaries provided by the War Stonemason.
The mercenaries gathered in a small forest outside Weili were all chubby and had an arrogant look on their faces - some of them were shirtless and dressed like Freljord barbarians;
Some were wearing Hex goggles and playing with things that Talon couldn't understand; some were pouring rum into their mouths one after another; some were dark-skinned and were sitting on the ground praying silently...
There really are people everywhere.
Habitually hiding in the shadows, Tai Lung carefully observed everyone, and finally gave an evaluation in his heart - a mob.
However, the momentum of this ragtag group is still the same, and it is just right for them to act as a second layer of cover!
Then, just when Tyrone was about to show up, a commotion broke out - the drinking pirate seemed to be a little drunk, and he seemed to be planning to tease a woman with the strength of his drink and the musket in his hand.
As a result, not only did the teasing fail, the unlucky guy was also directly wiped out by a cold light!
The male mercenaries gathered here felt a chill in their crotches, while the female mercenaries all showed excitement.
Originally, Tai Lung wouldn't care about such a trivial matter, but the woman who was teased surprised him very much - with chestnut hair and a cold smile, wasn't this guy a former war mason?!
Do you still have a part-time job?!
Although his heart was filled with questions, Tai Lung still emerged from the shadows and helped the drunkard end his pain.
"Pay attention to your attitude, mercenaries." Tai Lung's face was completely hidden under the hood, and his tone was terrifyingly low, "The mission has been received, let's set off together now."
Mercenaries, look at me and I look at you. Although they were a little confused, they still followed Tai Long as promised.
The group left Weili and began to move in the direction of Prexidian.
That night, when the mercenaries ended their march and began to rest, Tai Lung, who seized the opportunity, found the War Mason.
"Why are you here?" Tai Lung asked the doubt he had been holding back all this time, "And you are dressed as a mercenary?"
