There is a thing in this world called news, and news always spreads quickly.

In the territory of Nangan Province, there are two news that have been most widely circulated on the rivers and lakes recently, the first news is that Zhao Zheng, a rising star who has obtained Zichu Sword, is about to leave the Sword Casting Villa, and the second news is that Qin Xing, who is full of evil, fell into the legal net and was captured alive by Xiao Qingyi and Ye Zhiqiu.

In contrast, there are more people who pay attention to the previous news, because the previous news is profitable for some people.

A bounty of 1.5 million taels of silver has already been released on the underworld, and the bounty of the newly born divine blade of the Zichu Sword is still increasing, presumably it will surge to around 1.6 million taels of silver in a few days. This astronomical amount is enough to make many people tempted.

Everyone wants to get the top-grade sword, but the person who gets it in the end is a six-fold heavenly martial artist, and it stands to reason that a martial artist of this level is definitely not worthy of the Zichu Sword.

For the Sixfold Heavenly Martial Artists, the top-grade sword is a hot potato, and it is really difficult to keep.

On the rivers and lakes, martial artists who have exceeded the Six Heavens abound, and there are not a few people who intend to snatch the Zichu Sword. Among these people, there are two such people, one is called Blue-eyed Jun. Ji Tiancheng, another is called Miaoshou Weng. Lv Tao. These two people are not low in strength, but they don't have a lot of reputation, and they like to do sneaky little cases the most. In the rivers and lakes, making a fortune in a muffled voice is the last word, and it may not be a good thing to have a reputation that is too loud.

People's hearts have always been insatiable, the most difficult to satisfy, and when they get a little sweetness, they want to get a greater sweetness. Ji Tiancheng and Lu Tao are an example, the two of them are no longer satisfied with the small cases they did before. I'm going to make a big case. Then come a rapids and retreat. Wash hands of.

The big case they are brewing is to poison Zhao Zheng and snatch Zi Chujian!

As long as this case is done, the money earned is enough for them to squander it for the rest of their lives, and they will never use it again in the future.

With the strength of the two of them, it is more than enough to deal with Zhao, but it is absolutely impossible to deal with the Sword Casting Villa, it is simply for nothing. If they want to grab the Zichu Sword, they can only outwit it. Incapacitated.

Thankfully, they inadvertently bought a useful message from the underworld, which gave them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It is rumored that after Zhao Zheng left the Sword Casting Villa, he would go to the Taishan faction and worship under the Taishan faction. Whether this news is true or not, no one is sure, but it is worth a try.

Ji Tiancheng and Lu Tao took advantage of this news to devise a plan, and decided to set up a card at the necessary place where the Sword Casting Villa and the Taishan faction passed, get an inn located on the side of the road, and turn it into a black shop. Wait until Zhao Zheng and his party are resting at the inn. They can take advantage of the opportunity in the inn.

In addition to one martial art, these two people also have another set of skills. Ji Tiancheng is good at poisoning. The eyes are different from people, they are turquoise, so they are nicknamed Blue-Eyed Jun. Lu Tao is good at digging tunnels and skillfully setting up ambushes, so he has earned the nickname "Wonderful Hand". With the skills of these two people, it only takes a few days to transform an ordinary inn into a murderous black shop!

The two combined the map and on-site investigation, and chose an inn on the way to Taishan Sect in the Sword Casting Villa, which happened to be located in the necessary place, and there was no store in front of the village and no store, standing alone on the road, it was really the best choice.

This inn is called the Lu family old shop, and it can indeed be called an old shop, the store is very old, it seems that it has been built for at least seven or eight years, and it looks dusty.

On this day, the two entered the store with enough money to buy the old store, intending to carry out the first step of snatching Zi Chujian. After buying this old Lu family's store, the two of them will start to renovate the store and make it look new from the inside out.

The two relied on a lot of money and did not beat around the bush, and as soon as they entered the door, they asked the shopkeeper to call the shopkeeper and expressed their desire to buy the store.

The shop is very small, and the shopkeeper himself has to help with the work, so he can't be idle. His body exuded the smell of green onions and the bloody and greasy smell of pork, which was very unpleasant.

The shopkeeper of the Lu family's old store is naturally surnamed Lu, this person is in his forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks honest and honest. After listening to Ji Tiancheng and Lu Tao's words, he looked embarrassed, was silent, hesitated for a while, and then stretched out his hand and said: "Two uncles, you want to buy my small shop, this is just a trivial matter for you, but it is a big thing for me." I can't make a hasty decision on such a big matter, but if you sincerely want to buy my shop, you can come with me and talk to it. ”

How to listen to this and say it very politely, the older Lu Tao nodded and said: "Okay, the shopkeeper, please first, let's sit down and talk slowly, don't worry." ”

Shopkeeper Lu nodded, led the way in front, and led the two to the backyard of the inn, where the people in the inn lived. Passing through a few doors, Shopkeeper Lu stood still in front of a bedroom door and slammed the door.

"Dog, you're not busy in the store in broad daylight, why are you running back?" A woman's voice came from inside the door.

"Lady, someone wants to spend money on our inn. This is not a trivial matter, so I will bring the two of them over to show you, and we will discuss with each other what price is appropriate. Shopkeeper Lu said respectfully.

"Damn, it's really the sun coming out in the west, and some people are worried about such a shabby little shop. You bring them in and show me what kind of people are so big that they want to buy our shop. The woman inside the door looked fierce and rude.

"Okay, I'll open the door." Shopkeeper Lu agreed.

When Ji and Lu heard each other call themselves wronged, they looked at each other, and they were both a little angry, but they were not easy to attack. They are not good people, and they don't take a small innkeeper seriously at all, but in order to avoid startling the snake, they still have to keep a low profile and try to avoid causing trouble.

It's best to spend money to buy this small inn, and it's not too late to think about using force if you can't buy it.

The shopkeeper Lu reluctantly pushed open the door, made a gesture of please, and invited Ji and Lu into the house. The two of them forced their anger to be suppressed. Walked in one after another. Look up. There was only one person in the room. It was the woman who had just spoken badly.

This woman was born five big and three thick, and her body was fat, like a big ball of meat, full of fat and horizontal meat. She was dressed in a dirty floral shirt, which she hadn't washed in I don't know how many years, and sat on the edge of the bed with one leg straddling the bed and one leg hanging on the floor. Holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, he was eating with relish. Looking at the ground again, it was all the melon seed skins she had discarded, messy and accumulated.

Ji and Lu both felt the same way, thinking that only a blind man would marry such a woman.

The woman was also looking at Ji and Lu, looking up and down for a while, and then asked slowly, "You two just want to buy the wronged boss of my inn?" ”

Ji and Lu are different in age, and Lu Tao is nicknamed Miaoshou Weng, since he has a Weng character. It must be an old man, and the old man is always calmer than the young man. Lu Tao whispered. Asking his companion not to be angry, he stepped forward and replied politely: "That's right, the two of us have taken a fancy to your inn and think it's a good place, and we plan to pay for it, and you husband and wife can make an offer." ”

", I've lived in this place where birds don't for a few years, why don't you think it's a good place, but tell me about it, what's good about it?" The woman rolled her eyes.

"The mountains are good, the water is good, and the geographical location is superior, although the store is a little old, but it is not a problem, it can be renovated and expanded."

"Hearing you say this, I just discovered the benefits of this store, since this place is so good, the price will naturally be set a little higher."

Lu Tao smiled slightly: "It's okay, you can just make an offer." ”

The woman knocked a melon seed, rolled her eyes and thought about it, and replied, "Why don't you get 500,000 taels?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ji and Lu were both shocked, such a small old inn, it is already a sky-high price to sell for 10,000 taels of silver, and 500,000 taels is a joke at all. Although the faces of these two people have changed greatly, the shopkeeper Lu who is standing by the side with his head down has not changed, as if he agrees with the price offered by the lady.

Lu Tao pressed his anger down again, and said with a smile: "Boss, the two of us are here to talk about business sincerely, not to joke with you." If you really want to sell this inn, you might as well offer a more realistic price. 500,000 taels is more than enough to buy such an inn, even to build a palace. ”

"Oh, just now you threw out the big words and let me make an offer. Now that I've set the price higher, you dislike it a lot, how can there be such a reason in the world. Speaking of which, you don't seem to have much money in your pockets. The woman snorted and sneered.

"The money we have is really limited, and we can't get 500,000 taels, but it's not a problem to get 18,000 taels."

"You want to buy such a good inn as mine for a mere eighteen thousand taels?" The woman snorted.

"Isn't it less than eight thousand taels to buy a shabby shop like yours? Don't be embarrassed, you mother-in-law, I'll tell you clearly, the two of us are not easy to mess with, if you mess with the two of us today, don't say anything about forcibly occupying your inn, you will have to kill the two of you! Ji Tiancheng next to him couldn't bear it anymore, jumped forward and shouted angrily.

If an ordinary woman heard this, she would be stunned, if not intimidated. But the fat woman sitting on the edge of the bed was not moved at all, not only was she not afraid, but she also giggled and said, "Hehe, in my opinion, it is the two of you who give shame to the face." Xianggong, are you right? ”

"Yes, that's right. Lady, you have a good talk and discussion with the two of them, but they still speak disrespectfully, and they are shameless. Shopkeeper Lu echoed.

"What to do with such people?"

"What to do, do it."

This husband and wife have a sentence from you and a sentence from me, as if they didn't take Ji and Lu in their eyes at all.

Ji and Lu are both old rivers and lakes, and they suddenly felt a little wrong, and felt that this couple was not very human. The two exchanged glances, and immediately wanted to pull off the posture and move, but unfortunately they were a step too late.

As soon as the words of Shopkeeper Lu's "what should I do" fell, his person had already made a move, his body shook, and he flashed in front of Ji Tiancheng, and raised his hand. From his cuffs, an inch of blade flashed, slitting Ji Tiancheng's throat with lightning speed.

Before the blood in the wound splashed out, Shopkeeper Lu raised his leg and kicked Ji Tiancheng to the wall, and then turned his body. Another knife slashed at Lu Tao. However, this knife did not kill the killer. Instead, it stopped firmly on Lu Tao's throat.

"Don't move. If you move, you die! Shopkeeper Lu threatened. At the moment of the knife, his whole person has changed his face and has completely become a different person. Although his facial features and appearance have not changed, his temperament has changed, becoming majestic and murderous.

The knife in his hand was a scimitar, a short scimitar. It can be hidden in the sleeve and taught people to be unguardable.

Lu Tao's internal force, which had just been activated, was so frightened that he pressed back. He lowered his eyes to the scimitar around his neck, and then at the corpse lying by the wall, beads of sweat the size of beans on his old face.

"Who are the two of you? Can you reward Wan'er, let me die to understand. Lu Tao asked in a trembling voice.

"Brilliant Hand Man. Lu Tao, I am the one who is holding your neck with a knife now, even if I want to ask a question, I should ask you first. Shopkeeper Lu snorted coldly.

"Do you recognize me?"

"I didn't recognize you, but I recognized Blue-Eyed's green eyes. Since he is a blue-eyed gentleman, you must be a clever man who is in cahoots with him. ”

The cold sweat on Lu Tao's body became more. They thought they were very low-key on weekdays, but they didn't expect to make a big name and be recognized at a glance.

Shopkeeper Lu tightened the scimitar in his hand and sneered: "Okay, Lu Tao, you don't have to move any crooked eyes, just your little ability, in front of our husband and wife, is not enough to look at at all." What do I ask next, what do you answer, if there is a lie, I will let you go to be the company of Blue-Eyed Jun. ”

"Okay, you ask, I answer, and I will never hide it." Lu Tao agreed in a cold sweat.

Shopkeeper Lu began to ask, and the first thing he asked was the real purpose of Ji and Lu buying the inn.

Lu Tao was controlled by others, and there was no way to tell the truth.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper Lu laughed and said, "You two unlucky ghosts, let me tell you what is good, you actually hit the head of this shop." This shop doesn't need you to do it, it's a black shop now, and the store needs poison and poison, and there are secret passages. The two of you are here like sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and you really deserve to be killed. But I also have to thank you for bringing such important news over, that first sword is priceless, how can we husband and wife miss it, when Zhao Zheng passes by, he will definitely design to snatch it. ”

"Two masters, please raise your hand and spare my life, I am willing to help the two of you, and I am willing to give the money I have earned over the years with both hands." Lu Tao pleaded.

"Lu Tao, do you know why our husband and wife have been able to open a black shop all these years?" Shopkeeper Lu asked with a sneer.

"Why?" Lu Tao said in a trembling voice.

"Lady, you come and tell him." Lu shopkeeper said.

"It's very simple, just because we don't have a living room for our husband and wife." The fat woman sitting on the edge of the bed let out the same sneer as her husband. She smiled and looked at Lu Tao, who was trembling, ate a new melon seed, and threw the melon seed skin on the ground.

"Did you hear that? We husbands and wives never leave a living mouth. The shopkeeper Lu said that his subordinates suddenly exerted force, and a knife cut Lu Tao's throat, which cut extremely deeply, almost cutting off Lu Tao's entire head.

Lu Tao whimpered, fell to the ground, and became a companion with Blue-eyed Jun on Huangquan Road. He couldn't figure out the identity of the husband and wife of the old Lu family's old store even to death, if he knew the identities of these two people, he should be able to die blindly, because the murderous reputation of this couple is far greater than that of him and Blue-eyed Jun.

Shopkeeper Lu took back the scimitar, there was no blood on the knife, and good knives were bloodless. He said lightly: "Lady, clean up." ”

The woman lifted her foot and kicked twice at the head of the bed, seemingly at random, each of which landed on the plank at the head of the bed, striking an inconspicuous mechanism.

I heard three rattling sounds, and three large square bricks on the ground in the house had sunk down, revealing a dark tunnel, and I didn't know where it led. The pile of melon seed skins on the ground happened to be located in one of the falls, and they all fell down and disappeared.

Shopkeeper Lu took the handle, pushed the two corpses into the other two black pits, and said a few words to the inside, ordering someone to check the bodies of the two well.

The room was much quieter, and only two pools of blood remained unscrubbed.

"Lady, then Zhao Zheng will go here, it seems that Heaven's will will let Zi Chujian fall into the hands of you and me. Let's plan and see how we can get our hands on this sword. Shopkeeper Lu said with a smile.

"How else can you get it, just kill first and then rob." The woman knocked up the melon seeds again. (To be continued......)
