Chapter 152: Killers for Hire
Nan Qiao smiled indifferently, "I'm afraid you don't have that chance, madam, let's eat!" ”
Li's food was bitter in the cell, she hadn't seen such a delicious meal for a long time, she just swallowed her saliva, she didn't have some dignity like Nalan Xunchun's eyes lit up, and she gobbled up her image regardless of her image.
"Mrs. Ben doesn't need your pity, get out of here with these things of yours!"
Nan Qiao didn't plan to continue talking to her, so he twisted the food box and prepared to leave, when the sound of Li overturning the table came from behind him.
A few delicious side dishes were overturned in the dry grass, and Li Shi looked at her viciously,
"Nalan Wuyu, as long as Mrs. Ben lives for one day, she will not let you go!"
Nan Qiao looked back, "Whatever you want." ”
At that moment, several rats crawled over to eat the food from the debris on the ground, and as they ate, the rats fell to the ground and stiffened their limbs.
Meals are poisonous!
This was made by her own hands in the kitchen, and it was auspicious and wishful to help her pack the food box...
Wishful?
It must have been poisoned by Ruyi, and Ruyi asked her who made this meal at that time.
Nan Qiao's eyes widened in disbelief, and when he looked at Li's with his eyes, Li screamed, looked at Nan Qiao with wide eyes, and then laughed almost madly,
"I know you're not so kind, Nalan Wuyu, you're so vicious! Fortunately, Mrs. Ben doesn't believe you, otherwise it would have been Mrs. Ben who would have died! ”
Nan Qiao suddenly thought of something, and ran out without explaining a word.
There was also a mocking sound from Li's words behind him.
Ran to another cell where Nalan Xunchun was held, Nalan Xunchun was lying on the dining table, her eyes widened, her expression was extremely painful and distorted, she was still holding her abdomen with one hand, and she was bleeding to death.
Nan Qiao's face was pale, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he stared at Nalan Xunchun's dead appearance in disbelief.
The flowers of the purple orchid garden are very bright, although it has entered the autumn and winter season, but it is carefully maintained as expected, and it is later than other flowers.
Seeing Nan Qiao coming back with the food box, Ruyi put down the scissors for pruning the flower branches, and went up with a smile to take the food box for Nan Qiao.
"Miss, are you back?"
Before Ruyi's fingers touched the food box, the food box was thrown out by Nan Qiao heavily, making a bang, and the food box and the lid were separated, and they each rolled far away.
The other maids in the courtyard were stunned, and Jixiang came up and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Nan Qiao stared at Ruyi and said coldly, "Ruyi stays, everyone else goes down!" ”
The maids didn't see Nan Qiao have such a big fire, so they didn't dare to squeak, and retreated one after another.
Ruyi was very calm, "Miss, is this angry with the slave?" ”
Nan Qiao asked coldly, "Ruyi, you actually poisoned my food without telling me!" ”
Ruyi didn't argue, and said slowly, "Miss, you promised the slave maid to avenge my young lady, but the slave and maid didn't seem to be able to bear to kill you all, so the slave had to do it herself." ”
"Nalan Xunchun is only twelve years old, she has not participated in the killing of Nalan Wuyu except for being arrogant and domineering, why don't you even let her go!"
"She deserves to die, as long as she is the daughter of the Li family, she deserves to die!"
Ruyi said fiercely, her eyes raised slightly, and she walked to the edge of the very beautiful flowers she pruned, "Didn't Miss forget, Nalan Xunchun poisoned you and almost killed you!" ”
Nan Qiao seemed to think of something, "Speaking of this, I suspect that the poison is more like the people around me." ”
Ruyi took the scissors and continued to prune the flower branches, "Miss, the facts and evidence are conclusive, and the poison is Nalan Xunchun." ”
Nan Qiao sneered, "Ruyi, for the sake of our master and servant, I can help you deal with the aftermath of this matter, and it just so happens that I have repaid the grace of your young lady's name!" ”
Ruyi turned around, "Miss, the slave really doesn't want you to leave, if you need a slave, the slave is willing to follow you!" ”
Nan Qiao smiled helplessly, "No need! Originally, I would have arranged for your deceased son's pharmacy before leaving, at least he could protect you, but now, you can do whatever you want! ”
Ruyi smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect Nalan Yanqin to become a concubine by mistake, it seems that this slave of Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion can't be left, and it will be life or death in the future!" ”
For some reason, Nan Qiao's words didn't come out in the end, only said,
"My Royal Highness, I will say hello to him, it's up to you whether you go or not."
After saying this, Nan Qiao finally returned to his room weakly, closed the door, and lay quietly on the bed alone.
It's not that she doesn't want to explore the truth, but the truth is often cruel, and she doesn't want to give her even the last bit of life, after all, when she first came to Chang'an, Ruyi was the first person to help her.
Time flies so fast, three months have passed in a blink of an eye, she has been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time, nothing is more important than returning to the Southern Jin Dynasty with her brother.
That night, Nan Qiao quietly went to the Qingzhen black market again, she was dressed in men's clothes, hiding from everyone, and inserted her door into the doorbolt, making people think she was sleeping.
In order to have a better chance of escaping, she took all the silver tickets on her body and went directly to the third floor of Peach Blossom House.
"I'm going to hire a bunch of killers, how much does it cost?"
The man opposite was dressed in a purple-red robe, and although he was wearing the same fuchsia mask, he still couldn't stop the murderous aura exuding from his body.
"How many?"
"How many of you have?" Nan Qiao asked rhetorically.
The man sneered, "It's not a small tone. ”
Nan Qiao asked again, "What is the strength of your killers here?" ”
On second thought, if it is an elite, it is not good to have more people, and if it is an ordinary killer, what is the point of having more.
The man leaned back on the chair leisurely, and glanced up and down at Nan Qiao's small body,
"You can try!"
Nan Qiao also had this intention, "Okay! ”
The man slapped his palms three times, and the door in the dark compartment opened, and three masked men came out, all of whom were naked and muscular, wearing a pair of black pants and holding a knife in each hand.
"Together or alone?" The man asked again.
Nan Qiao hooked the corners of her lips, just about to challenge, "Let's do it together!" ”
As the words fell, several men rushed up with knives, Nan Qiao's movements flashed dexterously, the knife grazed in front of the tip of her nose, the knife flashed, and another man attacked from the side, and when she was about to cut off her arm, she fell backwards and flew a meter away to avoid the blow, and just after she avoided it, she felt a menacing murderous aura coming from behind. Nan Qiao suddenly did a lightning flip, stepped lightly on the pillar with two steps, jumped forward, and a carp struck, successfully dodging the knife attacked by the three of them, and finally fell opposite several people.
This is still the situation where she didn't use chasing the shadow to fight with her opponent, and Nan Qiao was a little disappointed.
"That's what you call an elite killer?"
A hint of appreciation flashed in the man's eyes, and then with a wave of his hand, the men retreated with their knives.
"Your Excellency's martial arts are good!"
He clapped his hands a few more times, and out of it came an assassin as tall as Nan Qiao, but she was masked, holding two short knives in both hands, and looked like a woman.
"This is the real master of Peach Blossom House, don't look at her as a woman, but her martial arts are definitely first-class, and few people are her opponents!"
Nan Qiao didn't mean to despise the woman, she hugged the woman with a fist,
"I hope Peach Blossom House won't let me down again!"
"Take!" The woman also clenched her fists.
When the words fell, the other party's figure flickered, and there was no figure in place, Nan Qiao looked around vigilantly, and took out the shadow to deal with it.
In the next second, he felt a murderous aura attacking his head, Nan Qiao subconsciously used the shadow chasing to block, and the woman's double-edged short knife directly stuck her chasing shadow, Nan Qiao saw that the situation was not good, and used the skill of chasing the shadow to directly become longer to repel the woman. The next moment, the woman flew up, her figure flickered, and disappeared again.
Nan Qiao couldn't help but sigh, what a quick skill!
After about ten moves between the two, Nan Qiao took the initiative to admit defeat, "Sure enough, he is a master, admire!" ”
The woman is still polite two words, "Accept!" ”
The man on the side exclaimed, "Wonderful! ”
Nan Qiao sat opposite the man, "How many masters like this are there besides her?" ”
"You know, there is not one out of a hundred such talents, it is not easy for Taohuaju to cultivate talents, it is good to produce three or five such talents a year."
"The price is easy to say!"
Anyway, there is a rule in Peach Blossom House, you can pay half of the deposit first, and then pay the other half when the task is completed, and when she rescues her brother back to the Southern Jin Dynasty, will she still lack this bit of silver.
The man said, "There are some people who are out on other tasks, at present, there are seven masters like this, there are seven ready-made in Peach Blossom Residence, if you can wait, you can transfer a few from outside in a few days!" In fact, the previous killers, the kung fu is also good, and the number of people you need can also be considered. ”
Nan Qiao thought for a moment, "Those killers from before, prepare twenty for me, and a master like her, I want them all!" ”
The man thought it was okay and asked again,
"How long will it take?"
Nan Qiao roughly calculated the time required, "If it succeeds, it will take half a month, if the task fails, it will be difficult to say!" ”
The man thought for a while and said, "Half a month is too long, I have to ask my lord." ”
Nan Qiao thought about it again, if it was just to rescue his brother, it would only take a day, mainly because the escort time on the road was relatively long, if they didn't want to borrow someone for so long, in fact, it would be good to shorten the time and escape from a few passes.
"And how long do you usually last?"
"Up to five days."
"So short?"
The man's lips under the mask were only slightly raised, and he did not speak.
Nan Qiao thought for a few seconds, and then agreed, "Five days is five days!" ”
Out of the Peach Blossom House, Nan Qiao knew how heart-wrenching the decision just now, the 300,000 taels of silver tickets she brought, all of them were given to the Peach Blossom House as a deposit, and after the matter was completed, one million taels were paid, and if the task failed, only the 300,000 taels could be collected.
It's too expensive!
I knew that the money for raising a killer was so easy to make, what kind of theater did she open?
A gust of wind blew, and a woman in purple wearing a purple mask passed by, Nan Qiao only felt that this woman's temperament was so familiar, and couldn't help but turn around to look at the woman alone, only to see that she was carrying a meniscus knife behind her, just when the woman in purple found that she had turned around, Nan Qiao had quickly turned around, for fear that the woman would find her.
