Volume 1 Wanfu Li Chapter 158 Temptation
The temporary residence of the water master is outside Shi'en City, Shen Leng cooked for Mr. Shen and Cha Ye at noon and chatted for half an afternoon, he had to go out before the city gate was closed, it was not very far from the inn to the city gate, and it was still the widest main street in Shi'en City, if someone dared to do something to Shen Leng on this street, then there were only two possibilities, either crazy, or sure.
Shen Leng was very curious about what the killer who came to kill him looked like, when he was a child, he would always hear such and such stories when he chatted with those coachmen at the dock of Yuscale Town, Anyang County, which was naturally inseparable from the legend of the killer.
Most of the time the word killer is derogatory, and of course, since ancient times, there have been many strong men who have been killers for the sake of righteousness.
When he was in Great Chu, there was a Yao Wuxian who claimed that no one in the world could be killed, and there were many stories about him, the most famous of which was that he once killed three princes of Great Chu and a noble concubine.
At that time, Emperor Hengshun of Chu State had been critically ill for many days and could not go to court, but he had not decided who to appoint as the crown prince, and the son of the concubine was the sixth son of the emperor, so it stands to reason that he could not be ranked in any way, and it was indeed not brilliant compared with his brothers.
But this concubine is a ruthless character, I don't know how to find Yao Wuxian, first kill the eldest son of the emperor, then kill the third son of the emperor, and then kill the fourth son of the emperor, relying on such means to put her son on the throne.
What's even more terrifying is that she is also ruthless to herself, she knows very well what her son's character is, and she also has deep feelings for her brothers, if she knows that she made people kill the three imperial brothers, she will be in pain for a lifetime, if those courtiers find out that there is real evidence, the throne will naturally be in jeopardy, so she gritted her teeth and asked Yao Wuxian to kill herself.
This story sounds absurd, but it is the real past of Chu Shi.
After the new emperor ascended to the pole, he posthumously named his mother the queen mother, and he naturally couldn't hide the matter after all, so the new emperor tried his best to catch Yao Wuxian for three years, and then broke it in the square outside the palace.
Yao Wuxian didn't have the slightest fear before he died, he was still laughing loudly when his limbs and neck were tied, and shouted loudly: "My life has been brilliant enough, since ancient times and even in the future, there will never be a person stronger than me, more famous than me, and from now on, the history books of Dachu will not be full of the names of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, after all, there will be a place for me Yao Wuxian." β
A killer who left a heavy mark in the history books, and he only felt proud.
Shen Leng had heard this story a long time ago, and had specially asked Mr. Shen if it was true or false, Mr. Shen nodded at that time, but he had no evaluation of Yao Wuxian as a person.
The sky was still bright, and when Shen Leng walked out along the street, he couldn't help but think of this story again, the rivers and lakes and the court are two worlds after all, but these two worlds are not heavily barrierd, how many court affairs are solved by the people of the rivers and lakes, and how many people in the rivers and lakes are in the hands of those big people in the court.
Shi En City is the capital of the former South Vietnam, and it was not difficult to break through this city at the beginning, if the last bit of resistance of South Vietnam was tenacious enough, the emperor of South Vietnam, Yang Yu, would not be captured alive.
At that time, it was the ministers of the Nanyue Kingdom who opened the city gate to welcome Shi Yuanxiong into the city, and the emperor didn't even have to run, and was tied up by a group of courtiers he relied on at the beginning to give Daning a vote, so now a large part of the original Nanyue ministers are still alive and well, although it is no longer possible to contact the power of the court, but the days are rich and good.
It's just that I pity those soldiers who are really guarding the South Vietnamese country on the battlefield, and they desperately resist in exchange for the time when the big men are entangled in surrendering or not surrendering, and then they choose to surrender.
This street was originally named Nanming, and the longitudinal avenue was named Lihuo, and later changed its name after the destruction of the country, Nanming Avenue was changed to Shunfeng Street, and Lihuo Avenue was changed to Chengli Avenue.
There are many shops on the street, and there are vendors on both sides of the street, Nanyue is rich in products and rich regions, even when the country is destroyed, the treasury is abundant, otherwise Yang Yu would not have the confidence to dare to engage in any alliance, and he hopes to become the leader of the alliance on an equal footing with Emperor Daning.
Shen Leng to Pingyue Road after the discovery that the people here are very kind and peaceful, although the war has just passed a few years, but the life of ordinary people has little impact, His Majesty the Emperor announced the construction of Pingyue Road at the same time exempted three years of money and grain taxes, the happiness of the people quickly overwhelmed the sadness of the country.
When Daning conquered South Vietnam, he would not do anything murderous such as slaughtering cities, and the hatred of the people was not so high.
The aunt selling vegetables on the left raised a bundle of vegetables in her hand and shook the corner of her mouth with a smile on the corner of her mouth, Shen Leng also shook her head slightly with a smile to signal that she would not buy it, and then the aunt went to greet other passers-by.
Shen Leng, the one selling sugar gourd on the right, actually knew him, and not long ago he bought a crystal clear rock sugar gourd for the tea master in his hand, and the vendor seemed to remember Shen Leng's face, so he smiled at Shen Sneer kindly.
A little child ran forward with his head down, and behind him was a woman with a rolling pin, scolding the little rabbit cub as she chased.
This is the state of people's livelihood.
Shen Leng felt that all this was very beautiful, if it weren't for the kid hitting him headbutt.
This kid looks like he is about one meter two or three tall, and when he runs with his head down, he still laughs out of his mouth, as if it is a very funny thing to be chased by his mother, and after hitting Shen Leng, he raised his head and grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
Where is the child, but a short man, and the stubble on his chin has not been shaved clean.
So naturally, a dagger came out of the short man's cuffs and stabbed Shen Leng in the lower abdomen, but in an instant, the smile in his eyes disappeared when he raised his head to look at Shen Leng, because Shen Leng was also laughing.
A large hand gripped the dwarf's wrist, and the dagger stopped less than an inch in front of Shen Leng's stomach.
Shen Leng pinched the wrist and twisted it, the dwarf's wrist was broken immediately, and the dagger stabbed into the dwarf's chest, which was also helpless, the height of Shen Leng's lower abdomen was the position of his chest.
The dwarf looked down at the dagger on his heart and grinned, a terrible grin.
He suddenly grabbed Shen Leng's arm with his other hand and bit it down, this may be his last strength, but he couldn't imagine how quickly his strength would lose after being stabbed in the heart.
But he was just trying to delay for a while.
The bundle of vegetables in the hand of the vegetable seller spread out, and the dagger showed a cold glow from it, she was very close to Shen Leng, and when Shen Leng turned around, the dagger was almost to his waist, and these people knew very well where the stab could cause death.
Shen Leng turned around to avoid the knife, but the knife still cut through Shen Leng's clothes and wiped out a string of sparks.
After cutting the clothes, it is natural that the skin should be cut, how can there be sparks if Shen Leng is not iron?
Even if it is a demon method such as not taking a bath for a few years, there should be no sparks, the answer is that simple, there is still a soft armor in Shen Leng's clothes...... It is also a kind of cause and effect, he traveled all the way to the north to help Meng Changan kill Pei Xiao, and the soft armor on Pei Xiao's body was on him.
Meng Changan chopped Pei Xiao's head with a knife and then took off the soft armor and gave it to Shen Leng, Shen Leng looked at him with disgust for a while, Meng Changan said If this thing can save your life once, then do you dislike its blood stain or its original owner, is it a little naΓ―ve?
Shen Leng felt that what he said was to leave him behind, Meng Changan just shook his head, saying that he had to wear a large size, and his chest muscles were stronger, Shen Leng snorted, slightly bigger than Meng Changan's.
So, he relied on Shen Leng to get this soft armor, but Shen Leng was not proud.
So sometimes things are so coincidental, Meng Changan said that if this soft armor can protect you once, then what's the point of you still disliking it?
The dagger on the vegetable seller is poisonous, Shen Leng doesn't know much about poison, but the pungent smell on the dagger disgusts him, there are not so many colorless and odorless poisons in this river and lake, most of them are only in legends, so the only way to cover up the smell is to rely on the bundle of coriander with a strong taste.
If the dagger cuts through Shen Leng's skin, no one is sure whether it can poison Shen Leng, but it is certain that it will definitely affect Shen Leng's actions.
Shen Leng turned around, and the dagger was pulled out of the dwarf's heart and pierced the throat of the aunt.
The blood in the aunt's neck gushed out at the moment the dagger was pulled out, like a waterfall, looking bloody.
Then a bamboo skewer poked at Shen Leng's heart, and the stick carried by the sugar gourd seller was wrapped in a thick linen cloth, and the sugar gourd was inserted in the sackcloth, with many empty bamboo skewers on it.
Shen Leng turned sideways to let go of the bamboo stick, and the dagger stabbed the hawker's throat, and the vendor's other hand quickly raised and grabbed Shen Leng's wrist, and winked at Shen Leng, as if to say that I am not so easy to kill.
He held the bamboo stick with one hand and grabbed Shen Leng's wrist with the other, so he had no extra hands, but Shen Leng still had it.
Shen Leng's left hand reached out and pulled out a few bamboo sticks from the wooden stick that was about to land, and then stabbed it into the hawker's eye socket.
From the first dwarf to the killing of the peddler, this is an extremely fast process, and for ordinary people, this time is about ...... Hello, have you eaten? This is a short time to say hello.
But none of these three were fatal, it was the woman who chased the short man.
The woman had a rolling pin in her hand, and when she shook it, the rolling pin actually flew out, and Shen Leng avoided it before noticing that it was a strange scabbard, and there was a sharp blade hidden in the rolling pin.
It must be said that this woman looks bloated and clumsy, but when the knife is unsheathed, her whole person changes, she is fierce, fast, and spares no effort.
Shen Leng was forced to take several steps back by the knife, and the woman's crazy appearance reminded Shen Leng of the lioness.
On the restaurant only a few dozen meters away from Shen Leng, Bai Xiaoluo stood there watching Shen Leng kill his three subordinates with interest, and a middle-aged man with a scar on his face couldn't help but ask in a low voice beside him: "Do you want me to go down?" β
Bai Xiaoluo shook his head: "I said it, it's just a test, if Shen Leng is so easy to kill, wouldn't it be boring?" β
The middle-aged man felt that it was a pity, if he went down and joined forces with that woman at this time, he would be ninety percent sure of killing Shen Leng.
Unfortunately, this self-confidence only lasted less than three breaths.
Several crossbow arrows came from the woman's back, and the woman froze for a moment, and when she looked back, she saw several soldiers in armor coming, and she was annoyed...... A good assassination, the soldier became meaningless when she appeared, she roared and turned to continue the attack towards Shen Leng, Shen Leng's dagger slashed her throat the moment she turned her head.
Gu Le, Chen Ran, and Yang Qibao came out from everywhere with people on their faces.
But this is Shen Leng's request that no one be allowed to come out without their own signal.
"Let's go."
Shen Leng looked at the corpses, a little regretful.
Gu Le was stunned: "This is leaving?" β
Shen Leng snorted, raised his eyes and looked around, and finally stopped on the second floor of the restaurant, but there was no one there.
"I can't wait, or I won't let you out."
Shen Leng threw the dagger on the ground, and found that there were still a few sugar gourds on the ground that were clean and unstained with dust and soil, plucked off a few and handed them to Gu Le and each of them, thinking as he walked, why not poison this sugar gourd?
Thinking of the fishy smell on the dagger, and then thinking about melting the fishy smell into the sugar gourd, I'm afraid that a fool won't buy it, and if he poisons other people who buy sugar gourds, how amateurish will this killer be?
If this involves professional ethics, Shen Leng feels that he is quite stupid to think so. ()
