The more troubled the times, the less valuable the manpower, even if you have the ability, because in the troubled times, people who rely on their ability to eat are not very good at eating, and still rely on fighting and killing, but allowing others to fight and kill.

At the beginning, the value of a master like Yao Wuxian was only two hundred taels, which was already the high price of a killer in Jizhou, Shi Ci felt that the price of 10,000 taels was enough for people not to refuse, and he also had this confidence.

But after Tang Pidi offered a price of at least 20,000 taels, Shi Ci realized that he still underestimated people's greed, anyway, he was so conscious at this moment.

And Tang's idea is very simple, the other party is willing to pay 10,000 taels, he is already rushing to destroy Yongning Tongyuan, if he can pay 20,000 taels, the other party may be eager to crush Li Qi's bones and ashes.

"Twenty thousand taels at most."

Shi Ci was silent for a moment and then said to Tang Pidi: "The head of the family has a noble status, how can the property in the family be looked at by you at will, this is a humiliating thing, if it weren't for Li Gongzi's martial arts, I would have left just now." ”

Tang Pidi nodded and said, "It's okay, then 20,000 taels, and the deposit is 15,000." ”

Shi Ci was silent again, but it didn't take long for him to get up and say, "I'll go get it now, and I'll be back later." ”

Tang Pi stood up to say goodbye and waved goodbye happily.

After returning to the backyard, Tang Pidi looked Li Qi up and down, Li Qi was a little dazed by him, he asked Tang Pidi what he was looking at, Tang Pidi said I want to see clearly who you have offended, I would rather give 20,000 taels than kill you, looking at Da Chu, you may be the only one who is worth being a teenager.

Li Qi smiled and said: "I can only say that people are confident, and they think that even if they take out the 20,000 taels, they can take them back after killing us." ”

Tang Pi said: "I'm already thinking about quitting now. ”

Li Qi said: "Think about it, that's 20,000 taels, it's not too late to retreat." ”

Tang Pidi nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, then you will withdraw from the gang when you get it." ”

They waited for Shi Ci to get the silver ticket, and Shi Ci came back after about three minutes, Tang Pidi heard that the guy in the front yard came to say that Shi Ci came back, and then looked at Li Qi and said: "He may not have gone anywhere at all, within three moments, Yu Jiuling and Ruan Du were staring in the dark separately, and they didn't find it, so it can show that this Shi Ci is a person who can call the shots." ”

Li Qi snorted: "Now there are not many people in Jizhou City who are willing to spend such a lot of money to buy my head." ”

Tang Pidi sighed: "If there are more, it will be fine, we are closer to making a fortune." ”

Li Qi: "Wow! ”

The two of them walked to the front yard at the same time, and the matter was settled, and at this time, it was discovered that Li Qi and Tang Pidi had great similarities in their personalities, such as the understanding that more things are better than less.

Since people come to the door to find trouble, then solve the matter, and solve the problem and solve the problem.

At the same time, the capital of Great Chu.

In a very delicate and beautiful courtyard, Yao Wuxian sat on the steps, holding a fishing rod in his hand, he was fishing for the fish in the fish pond in the yard, it was drizzling at this time, and the small courtyard with blue tiles and blue bricks had a bit of ink painting charm, he sat on the steps, and the rain on the eaves formed a bead curtain in front of him.

The rain hit his rod and the fish pond, and with a crackling sound, the fish seemed to sense the danger and did not bite the hook.

A girl who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old walked through the courtyard with an umbrella, she was wearing a dark green long dress, which matched the small courtyard and the rain curtain so well, her long hair was tied back at will, like a waterfall, and the rain was even more matched.

"I'm fishing again.

”

The girl stopped beside Yao Wuxian, she stood under the eaves, there was no rain above her head, but her umbrella was not put down, her eyes were always on Yao Wuxian, because that man had become the whole of her life a few months ago, and after a while, she realized that she should put the umbrella down.

She was the most popular girl in the Qinglou, and she was naturally worth a lot of money, but this man ransomed her out of the Qinglou with a large sum of silver, but he had never been to this Qinglou before this, and he had never seen her.

She didn't understand why, the owner behind the Qinglou was also considered a high-ranking and powerful person in the capital, saying that it was the official family's teaching department, and it was not the person holding it in one hand, she knew very well that even if someone offered the price, it would be impossible to redeem her, but this man did it easily, and the only reasonable explanation was that the owner behind the Qinglou couldn't afford to offend this man.

"Hmm."

Yao Wuxian just hummed and didn't look up at her.

So she didn't understand that he didn't even have the desire to look at himself more, so why did he spend so much money and use such a big relationship to redeem her? It's really just for ...... She wasn't sure, but she looked down at her lower abdomen, which was not yet pregnant, and had to think like this, he just wanted to monopolize her.

They had been living in this beautiful little courtyard for a few months, he was a little overbearing, and he didn't allow her to go out, so this small courtyard became the whole of her world, and for a few months, she was so bored that she had already remembered the few bonsai plants on the windowsill, and she was a little sad if she fell a leaf, because her world was indeed too small, and one less leaf seemed to be a lot less.

This man, except for a little crazy when he was having fun with her, was like a wooden man most of the time, so she thought that his world should be smaller.

There is this yard in her world, every grass and tree in this yard, bonsai goldfish, and there is only himself in his world, and there is no her without this yard.

"Will you catch it today?"

She slowly squatted down, put her arms on his lap, and then leaned up, lying on his knees and looking at the rain curtain, and the fish pond in the rain curtain, the fish were still swimming back and forth, and seemed to have no interest in the bait at all, so she was somewhat relieved.

Yao Wuxian looked down at her, saw her long hair like a waterfall, raised his hand for the first time and gently touched her head, so she was shocked.

"You have to feed the fish three or four times a day, and feed them so much, lest I catch one, and they know your mind, how can they be caught by me."

Yao Wuxian exhaled slowly, he looked at the rain curtain, the bead curtain formed by the raindrops seemed to isolate the outside world, this moment was so quiet and beautiful, beautiful and so reluctant.

"You're going to go, aren't you?"

She asked.

Yao Wuxian nodded slightly: "It's almost there." ”

She was silent for a few moments before asking, "Then do you remember my name?" ”

Yao Wuxian seemed to think for a while, but he really didn't remember her name, he just asked the prince Yang Jing who was the most popular in the Qinglou of the capital, and Yang Jing asked people to come forward to ransom this girl, she said it once, but he didn't remember it.

"My name is Zhou Wan, not the name in the Qinglou, but my real name."

She leaned on his lap and muttered to herself.

"I am a native of Anling Prefecture, my father used to be the governor of Anling Prefecture, and his house was raided because he offended Liu Chongxin, my parents died, and the others were either exiled or confiscated into the army, and I was sent to the Jiaofang Division."

Yao Wuxian nodded: "I remember." ”

Because of these four words, she trembled with fright, because she knew very well that he remembered it

Stay, that is, the time when he is about to leave is almost here, and this time, he may never see each other again.

She didn't know why she was afraid, probably because this man who was still a stranger was already the best man for her, he wouldn't beat and scold her, he wouldn't lock her up, he just seemed a little indifferent.

"Someone promised me that they would let you live."

Yao Wuxian said: "The person who promised me, if he didn't die, would have a great ability to fulfill his promise, but fortunately, you are not my only woman, and the child in your belly is not my only flesh and blood." ”

She shuddered slightly, and these words seemed to be colder than the rain outside.

Yao Wuxian paused for a moment and continued, "But you are my favorite woman. ”

Zhou Wan raised her head and looked at Yao Wuxian, her eyes were already a little moist, as if the rain had entered her eyes, she looked at him like that, he was still looking at the rain curtain in front of him.

"If nothing else, my name will appear in the annals of history in the future, and I will be called a hero."

Yao Wuxian smiled, she realized that he looked good when he smiled, when a man smiled confidently, whether he looked good or not actually had little to do with his appearance, not to mention that this man was not ugly.

Yao Wuxian said: "I never thought of being a hero, but that person said, if you have to kill someone, why don't you be a killer who can change the world, this kind of thing has been done since ancient times, and there is no one who leaves a name, but as long as you kill the right person, then your name will be passed down for a long, long time." ”

Zhou Wan's voice trembled slightly and asked, "Just ...... Can't you go without it? ”

Yao Wuxian fell silent.

After a long time, he smiled and said: "Such a day is indeed very comfortable, so comfortable that my murderous intent is almost gone, but fortunately, the goal in my heart has always been there." ”

His hand left her long hair, and she felt like she was about to lose the world.

Yao Wuxian was silent for a long, long time, neither of them spoke again, the sound of the rain was all, at this time a fish actually bit the hook, Yao Wuxian frowned slightly, raised his hand, the fishing rod was raised, and the fish hanging on the hook was thrown in front of him, he looked at the fish hanging on the line in front of him, and asked himself.

"You're not hungry, why did you take the bait?"

She said to herself: "I obviously don't believe that there is still my love in this world, didn't I also get caught like this?" ”

Yao Wuxian was stunned, he reached out and took the fish off, and threw it out, and the fish returned to the fish pond, swimming back and forth in fright, the fish's mouth was broken by the hook, leaving a touch of red in the water when swimming.

"It hurts for a while."

Yao Wuji's hand rested on her long hair again and stroked it gently.

"But it's good to hurt for a while, and I'll swim freely."

Zhou Wan's face gently rubbed his legs, and said softly: "The fish pond is so big, the world is so big, and it is so big to be free." ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the small courtyard, Yao Wuxian looked up, Zhou Wan's face turned pale, this was the first time in a few months that someone came to knock on the door, and it should be the last time.

Yao Wuxian's hand was still gently caressed, and he said in a soft voice: "My surname is Yao, after the child is born, if it is a daughter, it will be your surname, if it is a son, it will be my surname, I have left some things in the room, he can go to practice, and my son must inherit these." ”

He got up, picked up her umbrella and walked out the door.

He stopped in the rain, looked back, and said with a smile, "Your name is beautiful, Wan'er...... But not as beautiful as you. ”
