Chapter 31: Jiangnan City Lord
Ji Weak's name is not weak, on the contrary, it is still a well-known name, because he is the city lord of Jiangnan City! The master of Gangnam! The entire Central Plains Cao Dynasty belonged to Emperor Tang Qing, but if you ask who the master of Jiangnan is, everyone will only give one answer, that is, Ji is powerless!
Half of the land in Jiangnan is Ji powerless, and half of the martial arts people in Jiangnan are also powerless for Ji. This Jiangnan city lord who does not ask about the affairs of the court and only walks in the rivers and lakes, ranks first in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the emperor admired him and took the initiative to reward the lord of Ji as a six-rank official. If the emperor needs to sell favors, then he is naturally a master.
It's just that Ye Sheng didn't expect that this time, it was Ji who was powerless to fight off the six doors and Mingjiao and rescue the thief Xu Wei, could it be that they had come and gone before? Ye Sheng was puzzled, looked at his lover, and asked, "Could it be that Xu Wei had colluded with Ji Wuwu before, so he was able to run rampant and domineering in the South China Sea unscrupulously?" Burn and kill to make money? ”
"It doesn't matter." The lover's face was calm, "Ji is powerless, we can't afford to offend." If you want to continue to live in Jiangnan, then you can never provoke the city lord of Ji Wu. The target of the two of us is only Xu Wei, and if we kill him, we can get out of the way! ”
Ye Sheng lowered his head and read the letter with a glance and ten lines, it turned out that after the martial arts masters sent by Ji Wuli were trapped in Jiangnan City, he wanted to extend a hand to Ji Wuli for help, and asked Ji Wuli to send martial arts masters to break through Jiangnan City with them, so as to escort Xu Wei to leave safely.
"Where is Ji Wuli now?" Ye Sheng put down the letter and thought thoughtfully, "I remember that the city lord has been out of the city for many days. "He is in Longgang, and it may take some time to return to Jiangnan." The lover stared at Ye Sheng intently, "There is a place for Xu Wei to hide in the letter, take this opportunity, we can pretend to be a master sent by Ji to meet them, and then kill them by surprise!" ”
This plan is too bold! Ye Sheng grinned a little unwillingly, "Girl, have you forgotten the ambush outside the Dahong Rice Store that day, those guys are all good hands, and the small ones don't know martial arts, with the strength of the girl alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ......"
The lover waved her hand disapprovingly to interrupt Ye Sheng's words, "The men and women who died in the hands of this girl add up to a total of one hundred and fourteen, of which forty-seven died under the sword of this girl, you know the rest of the people ......" "I know, the rest of the people are sixty-seven." Ye Sheng nodded, with a look of affirmation.
The lover endured the signs of anger, gritted her teeth and showed a reluctant smile, "The point of what this girl said is not this, Ye Sheng, Ye Sheng, then do you know how the remaining sixty-seven people died?" Ye Sheng thought of the poison in his body, and suddenly realized, "They died of poisoning?" Girl, do you want to poison those subordinates who are powerless? Just, is there this opportunity? ”
"This girl is still the same sentence, only kill Xu Wei! Evacuate as soon as it's done! I will be able to leave unharmed! The lover squinted her eyes and stared at Ye Sheng indifferently, "I wonder if Ye Gongzi can help the slave family?" "Help! Of course you have to help! If you don't help, then you will definitely not be able to get the antidote from the lover with a small belly! Ye Sheng had no choice but to agree.
At noon in Jiangnan City, the main entrance of a farmhouse in Xishi was closed. The two figures, one black and one white, slowly approached, raised their hands and slapped the knocker. "It's coming, it's coming!" A young man in a rag coat shouted, and a moment later the door opened, and he saw the group standing outside the door.
The two are black, white, a man and a woman, both wearing hats and veils. The man's black caftan holds a black folding fan in his hand, and the woman's floral plain dress holds a pale oil-paper umbrella to shade the sun and the wind. Looking at these two pairs of beautiful people who were obviously people from the rivers and lakes, the farmer grinned and showed a hearty and simple smile, "The two must be the famous black and white people in the rivers and lakes, right?" ”
Black and white are a husband and wife, and they are famous killers in the rivers and lakes. If you want them to dispatch a lot of commissions, because in the eyes of black and white, no matter who you kill, it is a fixed price, 100,000 taels. So far, the black and white shuangsha have killed thirty-two people, and these thirty-two martial arts masters have all died without exception, but the black and white shuangsha are still alive and well.
"Not bad." The man nodded, although he was covered with a veil, he could also hear that this was Ye Sheng's voice, "You are Niu Dalang!" "Niu Dalang, it is the signature on the letter to Ji Wuming. The man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two of them and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I am Niu Dalang, and the two of you came to the Humble House to ......"
"Kill you!" The woman in a plain white dress holding a white oil-paper umbrella spoke, her delicate and charming face was covered, but it could not hide her charming and sultry voice. She is naturally a lover.
Niu Dalang was startled, took a step back, and subconsciously hid behind his hand and held the short knife under his clothes, at this time, Ye Sheng smiled, patted his lover's hand and said softly, "Humble wife is a joke, don't take it seriously." Ye Sheng glanced at the ordinary farmhouse, sniffed the stench of pig in the air, pursed his lips and said, "Two yellow orioles are singing green willows." ”
"A red apricot is out of the wall!" After Niu Dalang and Ye Sheng exchanged the code, the whole person relaxed, opened the courtyard door, and he invited Ye Sheng and Lianniang into the courtyard, "Could it be that you are the master sent by that person to rescue us?" "What? Do you think that the city lord of Ji can't afford to invite people like us? The lover's voice was cold, and she was not polite to Niu Dalang.
Niu Dalang listened to his lover's identity, and after confirming it, he felt even more relieved, and hurriedly said with a sigh of relief, "The black and white double martial arts are extraordinary, famous all over the world, and we can be rescued by two people, then we will be much safer to go out of the city this time!" ”
Ye Sheng and Lianniang followed Niu Dalang into the main house, and there were many pigs in captivity in a huge yard, maybe Xu Wei, the old immortal, was hiding under one of the pigs. Ye Sheng smiled, walked into the hall, sat on this simple wooden chair, he looked at Niu Dalang and asked, "How many people are in your group?" Let's make it clear, my clumsy wife and I can get you out. ”
"I'm just a pig farmer, if there is anything, I should talk to the leader." Niu Dalang smiled, looking simple and harmless, who would have guessed that this honest and honest farmer had a murderous knife pinned to his waist, "Wait a minute, you two, I'll call the leading big brother!" ”
Niu Dalang left quickly, and only Wu Yong and Lover, who pretended to be black and white, were left in the hall. At this time, the lover turned her eyes and glanced at Ye Sheng, although through the veil of the hat, Ye Sheng could still detect her playful eyes. Ye Sheng was curious, and asked sideways, "Madame has something to say." ”
