Chapter 360: Lady Iron Mask
Yu Po gently opened the mahogany treasure box, inside was a night pearl, and it was very large, at least Mrs. Nie was the first time she had seen such a big bead, and it was very round, smooth to the extreme, without any flaws. Looking at the past, the night pearl will directly reflect the beautiful face of the person, even more beautiful than the person, as if it has its own beauty effect.
"Hehe, Mrs. Nie, this is what we took from his treasure house when the two of us assassinated a Zheng Guo second-rank official last year, I heard that this is the ancestral treasure of that senior official and their family, and it is a rare night pearl in the world, which is priceless. The old body is already old, and it is not as beautiful as Mrs. Nie. The so-called sword is matched with a hero, and the pink is given to a beautiful woman, so this night pearl should still be given to a beauty like Mrs. Nie. Yu Po said with great flattery.
Glancing coldly at the night pearl in the mahogany box, there was no fluctuation in Mrs. Nie's eyes, on the contrary, her pretty face sank instantly, and a chill suddenly appeared on her face, and she scolded and said, "Yu Po, what kind of person are you and my Mrs. Nie!"
"Although my Mrs. Nie is a woman, my husband was also a famous killer, and he was tortured to death because he would rather die than reveal the identity of his employer. My husband has always valued morality, and so does my Mrs. Nie, and everyone elected me to be the person in charge of this matter, but also to respect my Mrs. Nie's fair and selfless temperament. Flies are small and meat, and every penny must be settled, and whoever belongs belongs to whomever it is, and no one can rob it. Yu Po, even if the 'wicked people of the Five Directions' don't look down on this small business, then I can only give it to you after they tell me in person." Alternatively, you can go directly to the 'Five Evildoers' and talk to them in person to see if they will agree to give you the deal. Mrs. Nie said, her tone was extremely tough, there was no room for bargaining, and her feminine appearance was obviously different, her temperament was like a stern shopkeeper who had to be compared, and she couldn't rub a grain of sand in her eyes.
Seeing that Mrs. Nie's attitude was so tough, Yu Po had no choice but to put away the night pearl, and after apologizing, she left the room in discouragement.
"Hmph, what a stubborn woman, no wonder people on the underworld call you Mrs. Iron Mask!" Yu Po said complainingly.
Thinking of this, Yu Po immediately shook her head and interrupted this bold idea, "Let the 'five evildoers' give us the business, this is undoubtedly a tiger's mouth? No, it's easier to take food from the tiger's mouth, what kind of people are the 'five evildoers'? ”
Pondering in her heart, Yu Po shook her head helplessly and sighed, and could only watch this business go into someone else's pocket.
Hearing Yu Po's sigh, an old man suddenly swept behind Yu Po silently and asked in a low voice, "How is it, old woman?"
Hearing the sudden sound behind her, Yu Po was really startled, and when she turned her head and saw that it was her dead ghost old man, she suddenly turned slightly angry, slapped the old man's shoulder fiercely, and scolded: "You dead ghost old man, you scared me to death." ”
Seeing Yu Po's angry appearance, the old man smiled with satisfaction and said, "Hehe, old woman, I've scared you for more than 30 years, haven't you gotten used to it?"
"You dead ghost, you know that you've scared me for more than 30 years, aren't you tired? Old man, who is almost sixty years old, be kind to me before you die. Yu Po pretended to be angry and said, but she couldn't hear any complaints from her, but there was a faint coquettishness.
The old man, known as Wu Gong in the underworld, is the husband of Yu Po. The couple have been killers for nearly 20 years, and they are also well-known in the underworld, known as "Wugong Yupo", because they have been called for a long time, and they themselves have almost forgotten their real names.
"Alright, don't be angry. How is the matter going, then Mrs. Nie has agreed?" Wu Gong asked while comforting Yu Po.
Yu Po sighed again, took out the night pearl in her arms, and said: "Oh, you are embarrassed to say it, what do women can't resist the temptation of this big bowl of night pearls, and they will definitely nod and agree! Mrs. Nie is worthy of being the famous iron-masked lady in the underworld, and they didn't give this 'night pearl' at all, so they directly rejected me, and asked me to go to the 'five evil people to discuss'." ”
"The wicked people of the five directions?" Hearing the name of the wicked people of the five directions, Wu Gong's face trembled, showing a little fear, "Why are you looking for them?"
"Because it's their turn. Yu Po frowned and said, "Alas, old man, let's dismiss our minds as soon as possible and honestly line up and wait for the order." ”
Hearing Yu Po's words, Wu Gong shook his head dissatisfiedly, and said: "Wait for the order? How long will this be? Last time, we waited for five days before it was our turn, but after that vote, we only won eight Heavenly Choice Orders, and when will we be able to save up forty Heavenly Selection Orders." ”
The more he complained, the more Wu Gong's face became heavier and heavier, his eyes were ruthless, and he said: "There are more monks and less porridge, if we line up honestly, we won't want to eat enough for the rest of our lives." As the saying goes, starve the faint-hearted and support the courageous. Anyway, we also heard the news from outside the door, so it is better to do it directly and do this business first. ”
Hearing this, Yu Po was really startled again, she covered her mouth, quickly glanced around, and after confirming that there was no one, she said to Wu Gong: "Old man, you are tired of living! You dare to steal business with the 'five wicked people', you are too long, you don't want to live, right?"
Wu Gong's face was serious, obviously not joking, he lowered his voice, leaned into Yu Po's ear, and said: "Yesterday, the 'wicked people of the five directions' left the post station and have not returned. I guess I can't hold back my loneliness, and I'm going to have fun again, and at this time, I don't know where to have fun. If Mrs. Nie wants to find them to order business, it will definitely take some time, this is a great opportunity, we can take the opportunity to take the lead, before they rush, kill the group of students who participated in the test, rob the Heavenly Choice Order, and then destroy the corpses, they will not know who did it. ”
Listening to Wu Gong's words, Yu Po was still very worried, and said: "Old man, isn't this too risky! If they find out, they will settle accounts with us, and you and I will not be able to withstand their poisonous hands." ”
Wu Gong gritted his teeth and said, "We can't help it." Old woman, you can rest assured, as long as we accumulate forty Heavenly Choice Orders as soon as possible and become the staff of Zhai Cheng, the Prime Minister of Great Wei, when the time comes, with the backer of Great Wei, they will not dare to touch us if they think of the 'wicked people of the five directions'. ”
"Old woman, you don't always complain that being a killer is not to kill people, or you are worried about being killed by others, and you are worried every day, after killing someone, we have to hide, in case the enemy comes to the door to retaliate, you said that you have long been tired of this kind of days of fighting, killing, killing and hiding, and want to live a stable life as a normal person and have a fixed home. Let's try our best to become the staff of the Wei State, isn't it just to have a stable life and enjoy our old age in peace?" Wu Gong took Yu Po's hand, although it was full of wrinkles, but he still cherished it, these hands, which had accompanied him through more than 20 years of fighting, should also be over.
Yu Po was moved, she nodded, and said: "Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, from the day I married you, I decided to be with you for the rest of my life, since you want to do it, then I will accompany you." ”
"Hmm. Wu Gong squeezed Yu Po's hand with emotion and said, "Go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and we will also be together." ”
After speaking, the two of them returned to the room and cleaned up briefly, then quickly left the post station and galloped towards the direction of "Changyang City", "If the students who want to go to Wei to rush to the 'Heavenly Selection' exam, they must go west, so after they enter Changyang City, they will definitely go out of the city through the west gate." Old woman, let's hurry to the west gate of Changyang City, set up an ambush outside the city early, and wait for them. On the way, Wu Gong analyzed, and in an instant, the two of them quickened their pace and marched towards Changyang City at the fastest speed.
