Chapter 278: A Visit Here
When I got back to my room, it was already dark.
Xiao Ling was about to leave, and happily stopped him and said, "Xiao Ling." ”
Xiao Ling didn't answer, and he didn't wait for him to speak: "Although you lost the bet, and you also invested in my account, I think you are not convinced." ”
"I will prove to you that I am the number one killer in the world." Xiao Ling's eyes suddenly froze, and he said coldly,
"You shouldn't be a person who is greedy for fame and fortune, why do you attach so much importance to the name of this 'No. 1 killer in the world'." Happy to sit on the chair, while sipping tea, while looking at Xiao Ling curiously,
Xiao Ling trembled slightly, a touch of sadness appeared in his indifferent and dead eyes, his thin lips pursed tighter, and the corners of his eyes trembled slightly,
"Sit down and talk about it, we are not enemies, we should be friends." Happy put down the teacup, sat up straight, and said gently,
Xiao Ling nodded silently, sat down on the chair beside him, and said slowly after a while: "You're right, I don't deserve to be called the "No. 1 Killer in the World", this title is my master's, and it can only be his. ”
Happy in his heart, he probably guessed something, but he didn't speak, just looked at Xiao Ling quietly,
"I have had no parents since I was a child, and it was the master who raised me and taught me the kung fu of killing, and I have never stopped it for thirteen years." Xiao Ling leaned his whole body back in the chair, and under the flickering candlelight, his face was very gloomy, and his dead eyes were also a little confused.
"Although Master was very strict with me, in my memory, he never smiled, but he took good care of me, did not let me starve to death on the streets, I don't know what Master's name is, and he never told me, I only know that his surname is Xiao, and everyone in the rivers and lakes calls him 'the number one killer'."
After a pause, Xiao Ling sighed a little sadly: "Although he is the number one killer, he is a man, not a god, and if he is a man, he is destined to die, and the killer dies in the hands of others, it is an established fate, and no one can escape. ”
"Although I am not good at learning, I don't want the reputation that Master has worked hard to earn all my life to be lost, so I began to walk the rivers and lakes in the name of Master, and the first task I received was to assassinate you."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ling kept silent, the sadness on his face gradually dissipated, and he returned to his cold appearance, this was the first time he had said so many words, and he was a little unaccustomed.
"Have you ever thought about avenging your master?" Happy to ask,
Xiao Ling nodded, and shook his head again, "This is the fate of the killer, what difference is there between reporting and not reporting." ”
"Yes, but it's not bad that you can protect the name of this 'number one killer' for your master, I promised you that as long as you follow me, I will train you to become a veritable 'number one killer', surpassing your master's existence."
When Xiao Ling's attention was on himself, he happily took out a stack of files from his arms, looked at Xiao Ling solemnly and said: "Xiao Ling, here is a list, a total of one hundred and eighty-four people, belonging to the four prefectures of Qing, Jiao, Guang, Nanqing, etc., these people are all large families who participated in the turmoil three days ago. ”
"You need me to kill them." Xiao Ling didn't frown,
"Nope." He waved his hand happily, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Ling, have you heard of the "Recipe for Longevity". ”
"The legend can make people immortal and become immortals, does that thing seem to be in the palace of Yecheng."
"You know one thing, but you don't know the other." smiled happily and playfully: "The "Recipe for Longevity" that Gao Wei got is fake, and it has fallen into the hands of Sima Fu. ”
"It's really in your hands."
"One hundred and eighty-four people, you and I are ninety-two people each, limited to two, my skills are higher than you, responsible for Jiao and Guang Erzhou, you are in charge of Qingzhou, South Qingzhou, we just enter the house to leave words, no need to kill, but there is one, can not leak the whereabouts, two days later, see who completes the task first."
As he spoke, he stood up happily, stared at Xiao Ling tightly, and said in a deep voice: "If I finish it first, it will prove that what I said is true, if you win, I will pass on your "Recipe for Longevity", I believe that you can one day become the deserved 'No. 1 killer in the world', do you dare to take on this task." ”
"What's so hard about that?" Xiao Ling raised his head and said in a deep voice, his eyes showing a strong battle intent,
"Okay, let's go now, I've got some fast horses, three horses per person." happily handed the list to Xiao Ling and said with a smile,
Xiao Ling took the list and quickly put it into his arms, and his body flashed out of the house like a gust of wind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Ling set off, happy naturally not slack, he picked up a package on the table and hung it on his shoulder, his feet moved, just a few flashes came to the outside of the house, Zhang Shunzhi has been waiting for a long time, seeing happy out, he didn't speak, just handed over three good grassland war horses to happy,
"By the way, in the past two days that I am not there, Qingzhou City will be handed over to you." happily turned over and got on the horse, quickly put a black cloak on his body, looked at Zhang Shunzhi on his side and whispered,
"Don't worry, sir."
"I'll go too." Happy nodded slightly, and slammed his feet on the horse's belly, and the horse was in pain, and suddenly a long neighing sound was like an arrow from the string, and the violent turmoil in the air blew the cloak behind Happy to hunt.
In the south of Qingzhou City, under the bright moonlight, he happily sat on horseback, looked at Xiao Ling solemnly and said: "Xiao Ling, you have to be very careful when you go here, if you can't violate it, you should put your surname first." ”
"Thanks for the reminder, take care." Xiao Ling's eyes moved slightly, but he couldn't see it really under the moonlight, and after throwing down this sentence, he rode his horse towards Nanqingzhou in the south.
"Drive." happily lifted the reins of the horse, the body fell slightly, and rode the horse towards Gwangju City in the southeast.
Under the silent night sky, the horses galloped, and the horses with their shoes nailed stepped in the wilderness, and their voices were unusually loud and crisp,
Since the 30,000 troops of Jeju collapsed under Qingzhou City four days ago, Chen Qian's whole person is like ten years old, with a lot of wrinkles on his face and a lot of white silk on his head.
Sorrow, sorrow, sorrow,
Chen Qian's heart only had this one word left, these five days he was like a year, frightened, he didn't think of the end of failure, but he didn't expect that the failure would come so quickly, and he was so miserable, happy not only easily annexed Jeju's 30,000 troops, but also blocked his escape road, making it clear that he wanted to put himself to death,
Am I wrong,
In these days, Chen Qian often asked himself this, but he didn't get a definite result, in this world, not everything can be divided into good and bad, right and wrong, the existence of happiness hinders the development of the family, there is nothing wrong with overthrowing him, but now the success is down, and the family is only brought endless disasters,
Xiang Xing admitted his mistake and asked for his forgiveness, maybe Xing Xing would be merciful, but Chen Qian didn't dare to gamble, and he didn't want to gamble, even if he was happy to forgive his family's surname, but the huge family business would definitely not be preserved.
Chen Qian made up his mind to fight to the death, coupled with the high-priced recruited villagers and the family, servants, and guards in the house, there were more than 2,000 people and more than 300 people in the army, the Chen family's mansion was in the suburbs, behind the high wall of the door, the arrow tower sentry, and the materials were complete, like a small castle, it was not easy to be happy to attack, which was also the capital that Chen Qian relied on and was happy to shout.
Despite this, Chen Qian's heart twitched every time he saw the sad and weeping appearance of his wife and children, especially after five days, he was happy but did not make the slightest move, but just sent a large army to wait outside the mansion, and did not take the initiative to attack.
At the beginning, the people of the Chen Mansion were still high-spirited, but they were besieged by the Qingzhou Army for a few days, not to mention the consumption of a lot of materials, the depressing atmosphere was even more maddening, and many of the people who were tempted by the interests showed fear, and the morale became more and more sluggish.
Compared with Chen Qian, who was restless and white-headed in the mansion, Ding Hao and others, who were playing in Qingzhou City, but were actually under house arrest in disguise, were even more frightened, happy to leave them, and the lack of a reply had made them sleep, and the news from other places made them even more frightened.
On the 14th and 5th of July, all the heads of large families who participated in the rebellion on 10 July received a note with the words: "I am glad to visit here.
Someone sneaked into the house to leave a word, but the most frightening thing was that none of the 184 families found any trace of the thief, and those who found the trace of the thief had already been killed on the spot.
Two kung fu, happy to travel hundreds of miles, sneaking into nearly 200 households to leave words, is this what human beings can do?
Ding Hao and the others didn't care about this, but what they felt frightened was that they were happy to be able to sneak into the mansion unconsciously, so if he had bad intentions and wanted to eradicate himself and others, it seemed that it would be effortless at all.
Unfathomable, this is Ding Hao and others' evaluation of happiness, not only his own amazing martial arts, but also the fear of the power he controls,
As soon as the news of the happy word came out, the land of Sizhou suddenly shook, and those who had planned to resist in the corner no longer dared to hold it up, and the head of the family prepared a generous gift and rushed to Qingzhou overnight, as for those who did not participate in this matter, they also discussed that they wanted to come to Qingzhou to visit the happy, for a while, the big families in the four states were frightened, and their behavior became more and more regular, but it was a great thing for ordinary people.
On July 15th, the Qingzhou Library was officially completed, as expected, Happy did not attend, some people speculated that Happy was seriously injured on the battlefield, but more is to believe that the person who left the word in the house should be Happy himself,
Although Lu Zhi worked late at night, whether it was papermaking or printing, the technology was still a little immature, so there were not many paper books in the library, most of them were happy to buy books on the market, not only bulky bamboo slips, but also not very complete types, but there were free books to read, learning, for the majority of poor students is definitely a good thing,
On the fifteenth day of July, when the last ray of sunshine was about to fall, a horse suddenly galloped outside the south gate of Qingzhou, and the soldiers guarding the city saw it from afar, and they immediately cheered loudly.
