Chapter 154: The Long and Short Knife in Shu
This is what Ziling has to do every time before eating since entering the Sichuan and Shu regions.
With her sensitive nature to poisons, she was in charge of checking the food of several people to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to poison several people, and from what had happened before, it seemed that someone was targeting them and preventing them from going to the country of Dayi Ning.
In addition, in the Sichuan and Shu regions, there are many masters of using poison, especially when applied to hidden weapons, which is extremely powerful, making people unable to guard against it.
After checking and making sure there was no problem, Ziling nodded at Nan Xun.
"Alright, let's all sit down."
After Yan Shao sat down, he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, thanks to Miss Ziling, otherwise, I am afraid that I will encounter a lot of headaches along the way." ”
Ziling looked at her and didn't respond.
Everyone is also used to it, along the way, no matter how little words are used, talking to Ziling, Ziling is ignoring her.
Nan Xun had no choice but to say: "That's for sure, don't talk about this, let's eat quickly." ”
Yan Shao just picked up the chopsticks, suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air outside the window, he immediately pounced on Nan Xun, pressed Nan Xun to the ground, and then heard a few bangs.
Nan Xun followed the sound and looked out, only to see that on the pillar in the house, there were several hidden weapons nailed gloomily, and they were about three fingers deep.
Nan Xun couldn't help but be frightened, looked at Yan Shao, Yan Shao made a silent gesture, straightened up, and flew out of the window.
Then, I heard a sound of fists and kicks outside the window, and it seemed that Yan Shao had already started a fight with someone.
Nan Xun hurriedly shouted: "Be careful! ”
Then she looked inside the house, where everyone was squatting on the ground.
Dashun listened carefully, stood up, and said: "It's okay, get up, I have to hurry up and see the young master, you take care of yourself here!" ”
"Nope. Let's go too! ”
Nan Xun said, and also got up and ran out of the inn with Dashun.
After all, Yan Shao saved her, and if Nan Xun didn't care about Yan Shao at all, it would be too heartless.
Again. With the protection of Ziling, if it is not a sneak attack, it is difficult for someone to hurt Nan Xun in the front, unless that person is not afraid of being poisoned by Ziling.
Out of the inn, out into the street. The rain continued to fall, and the raindrops swirled on the ground, and if it weren't for the assassins, the rain scene would actually be quite beautiful.
However, now whoever is in no mood to watch the rain.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Shao and the unknown assassin on the street.
It's okay to say less, but just standing there motionless, I don't know what's wrong.
And the assassins, with masks. I couldn't see my face clearly, but I was carrying a slender knife on my back, which was very conspicuous.
The two stood facing each other, a dozen steps apart, staring at each other.
It is estimated that she is waiting for the other party to reveal the flaws in her momentum, Nan Xun can only guess in her heart, she doesn't know martial arts, and in such a tense situation, it is difficult to ask Ziling.
But it's not like that to stand like this. Sure enough, as soon as Nan Xun thought of this, he saw that the assassin slowly stretched his hand behind his back. Slowly draw the long knife behind his back.
From afar, Nan Kaoru could feel the chill on the knife, which made people tremble.
The knife was drawn, and the Assassin pointed its finger at the ground, and the rain slid down the blade and fell to the ground.
Atmosphere. It was heavier than the rain, and then, a drop of rain rolled over the blade, and in an instant, Kaoru saw the assassin move, but she only saw it move, but she couldn't see how the assassin moved.
The rain from the streets, carried up by the moving air currents of the Assassin's body, formed a small wall of water, and rushed straight away.
Yan Shao's brows furrowed, and then he moved, and it seemed to be faster, Nan Xun only saw the heavy rain on the street, two figures you come and go, and I can't tell who is who at all.
"How's it going, how's it going!?" Nan Kaoru asked Ziling eagerly.
Ziling thought for a moment and said, "Words are less, no weapons!" ”
"Oh, that's not a loss, do you have anything you can give Yan less, hurry up and lend it to him."
Before Ziling could reply, Dashun on the side said, "Don't worry, the young master has a weapon." ”
"Why doesn't he use it!?" Kaoru is weird.
Da Shun smiled bitterly: "You ask me, who do I ask, the young master doesn't need it, and I can't force him to use it." ”
The three of them were frowning here, not knowing what to do, and after being anxious for a while, several people saw that the figures of Yan Shao and the assassin on the street suddenly returned to their original positions and stopped.
Yan Shao looked at the assassin opposite and asked, "Your Excellency, it should be the famous 'Shu Zhong Long and Short Knife' Yu Ke's predecessor in the rivers and lakes, right!?" ”
The assassin said: "If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, it's Yu Ke below, thanks to the love of friends on the rivers and lakes, called the long and short knife in Shu!" It's you, young and extraordinary, I don't know who it is!? ”
"I'm just a junior, and I don't dare to say a character in front of my predecessors, but I don't understand, why did Yu Ke's predecessors innocently attack us?"
"Taking people's money and people to eliminate disasters," Yu Ke said, "is just taking a business." ”
"Oh? Then can I use double the price to make Yuke seniors forget about this business!? ”
Yan Shao is not short of money, for him, as long as it is something that can be solved with money, it is nothing, especially in this situation, let alone let him spend double, even if it is three times or ten times, as long as Yu Ke nods, Yan Shao will definitely not bargain.
It's just that I'm afraid that people like Yu Ke pay more attention to reputation, and the business they take over will not be let go lightly.
Therefore, Yan Shao said again: "Ten times is fine, as long as the seniors are willing to let go." ”
Yu Ke looked at Yan Shao, shook his head and said: "The future is terrifying and arrogant, but I took this business, not to make money, but to return the favor." ”
Yan Shao had no choice but to nod, he knew that sometimes, money can't solve many problems, especially when it comes to favors, especially when it comes to such famous people in the rivers and lakes, for them, favors are more final than money.
Thinking of this, he said helplessly: "Then, we can only offend Yu Ke's seniors, let's see the real chapter!" ”
Yu Ke smiled: "Good boy, if I can't do anything about you, this business will be over, I won't look for you again, and the favor will be repaid, but before that, I won't show mercy." ”
"Of course, the personality of the predecessors, I still believe it, the rivers and lakes all say, the long and short knives in Shu, words must be done, I have always admired the predecessors, so I don't want to do it with the seniors, since the matter has nothing to do with money, then, I have to offend."
After speaking, Yan Shao took out a fan from his waist, threw his hand at Yu Ke again, waved the fan up, and asked as if chattering: "They all call the predecessors 'Shuzhong long and short knife', I don't know, now the handle in your hand is a long knife or a short knife for you."
