Chapter Twenty-Six: The Old Business
"You don't know yet! Revenge is coming. After this day, the scene of the two dominance of Jiyun City will end. β
"What do you mean, brother, I just came to Jiyun City, and there are some things I don't understand. Ying Yanshu smelled an opportunity.
"Really? Then there are some things that you better not meddle with. There are two families in this Jiyun City that are the strongest, one is the Ren family in the south of the city, and the other is the Sun family in the east of the city. The two families have always had a grudge. A few days ago, a batch of goods of the Sun family was attacked near Jiyun City, the goods were robbed, and the younger brother of the head of the Sun family was also killed. The Sun family insisted that the Ren family did it, but of course the Ren family did not admit it. The two families are facing each other on the surface, and everyone understands in their hearts that they are actually hiring killers secretly, and they both want to take the opportunity to completely finish off each other. β
Ying Yanshu exclaimed: "The empire is quite sensitive to mercenaries, and hiring killers is a heavy punishment. Back then, the Wu clan in Xiling was brought down because of hired killers. This little Sun family and Ren family are even dragging the Wu clan even more!"
"Brother, don't you still understand the situation in Jiyun City? The Wu clan is declining because it threatens the royal family, and it is the emperor who wants to rectify it. This Sun family and the Ren family are a fart, even if they contact the mercenaries in private, no one wants to care, after all, in the end it is a small place. β
"Does the local Ministry of Affairs, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Military care care?"
"As a border city, Jiyun City has always been a place where the Ministry of Administration and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs exclude dissidents. As long as the two families are willing to spend money, no one will embarrass them. The military department stationed border guards near Jiyun City, and the two families took the initiative to undertake a total of one-third of the logistics of the border guards, which can be regarded as a favor to the military department. The military department eats people softly, takes people short, and will not find trouble with the two families. As long as they know their own interests and don't provoke the charm department, the border city is the world of these local snakes. β
"Taught. β
"You don't know. Just last night, a killer broke into Ren's house, but all of them were killed. People know that it was the Sun family who couldn't help but make the first move, but failed. I heard the groom of the Ren family say that the head of the Ren family invited a very powerful mercenary, who was the leader who had just passed. Hey, Sun Sanniang didn't prepare well, and she will suffer this time. β
After Ying Yanshu heard the reason, he arched his hand and ran home along the path. In order not to be seen by Wenwen and waste time, Ying Yanshu jumped directly into the room from the backyard and pulled out a thin sword from under the bamboo mat.
Ying Yanshu once joined the charm department, although he is not a peerless master, but he is also extraordinary, and the ancestral jade willow swordsmanship of the Ying family was deduced by him. In the past five years, the former young man has shouldered the burden of life, and he is a little frivolous, and he should forget it. But Ying Yanshu would carefully wipe this jade willow sword every night, so that it was now as brand new as ever.
Young is not frivolous, ridiculous!
Time can erase arrogance, but it can't erase arrogance.
Time can erase enthusiasm, but it can't erase blood.
This move is indeed forced by livelihood, but the real motive is actually the heart of young people who are not willing to be lonely.
I am one of the stewards of the night of the Empire, a thorn.
At the beginning of the year, the atmosphere in the living room of the Sun family's mansion was strange. Women dressed in fancy clothes sat above the lobby, a group of black-clothed people sat below with a murderous aura, and behind each black-clothed man stood two guards. The guards pressed their hands to the hilts of their swords, their eyes fixed on the guests in front of them.
"You are very provincial, you should not be from Jiyun City. The woman took the initiative to speak.
"Wise people don't speak dark words. The tall man at the head didn't give his master face at all, "The one who broke into Ren's house last night wasn't from Jiyun City." β
"What did this brother say? The woman smiled a little weakly.
"Sun Sanniang, don't pretend to be stupid at this time!" the man stood up suddenly, and the guards behind him immediately drew their knives. No, the man raised his hands back and pinched the necks of the two guards with precision. The tiger's mouth was like iron tongs, and the guards were suddenly exposed. The man threw forward, and with the sound of his cervical vertebrae shattering, the guard's body smashed over the table.
Suddenly, the other men in black also stood up. All the guards drew their swords in unison, and another group of guards came from outside the door and surrounded the hall.
"I don't care what price I spent to invite you over, my grandson's house is not a place to come whenever you want!" the woman got up and scolded, but cold sweat oozed from her nose.
"Hahaha!" the man laughed wildly, "Did all of your Sun family masters die last night?
The men in black and the guards exchanged hands. The strength of the men in black is uneven, some of them are mercenaries brought by men, and some of them are members of the Ren family. Although the Sun family's guards were relatively numerous, the mercenaries were well-trained and did not fall behind, and the leading man was unstoppable. As the battle continued, the family members sent by the Ren family had been cleaned up, and the casualties of the Sun family's guards were not small, but the mercenaries were still strong, and the balance of strength gradually tilted.
The woman took in the scene in front of her, silently spread her hair away, and turned away. Seeing this, the man snorted lightly, cut the cervical vertebrae of the guard who was entangled with him with one palm, and chased forward. But the woman hastened her steps, and did not look back.
"Sun Sanniang, why are you in such a hurry to leave, stay and play with your brothers. The man came after her and grabbed her by the shoulder.
At this moment, the woman suddenly turned around, grabbed a sharp hairpin in her hand, and stabbed the man in the neck. The man was shocked and hurriedly blocked it with his left hand. The hairpin pierced through the palm of the hand, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
"Smelly bitch!" the man cursed, slapping the woman to the ground, pulling out the hairpin and throwing it aside.
The man crouched down, put his bloodied left hand in front of the woman's eyes, and said, "You want to die, right, I will fulfill you." As he spoke, the man took his left hand around the woman's neck, ignoring the wound, and lifted it into the air. The left hand gradually strengthened, and the blood in the palm of the palm ran down the woman's neck, and the woman's eyes bulged out, and she struggled in vain.
The cold light was fleeting.
The man laughed, the head of one of the two major families in Jiyun City was about to die in his own hands, as long as he used a little more force, as long as he used a little moreΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· No, how did he lose sensation in his left hand? Why did blood spurt out of his wrist? The woman fell to the ground, but she didn't let go, and the man saw that his left hand was still on the woman's neck, and he fell to the ground with the woman.
What kind of light was that?
Just as the cold light flashed, a sword blade severed his left hand.
"Brute!" the man wailed and stepped back. However, the sword did not give up, and chased after it like a cobra, the tip of which pierced the corner of the man's brow.
The blade stabbed again, and the man calmed down, his fist covered with a metallic sheen. A punch is thrown to block the blade of the sword. However, before the man could rejoice, the blade ghostly swiped and broke the man's hamstring. With a "poof", the man knelt down on one knee and immediately pulled out a steel knife from his waist and blocked the back of his neck. The tip of the sword stabbed into the blade, leaving a white dot, and then it swiped downward, plowing a terrible wound in the man's back.
"Ahh The strongest person who was arrogant just now became a plaything under the sword in the blink of an eye, whether it was a woman, a guard or a mercenary, they couldn't believe their eyes, and the fierce battle scene froze strangely.
"Brute!" the man wielded his steel sword, struggling to fend off the ghostly blade, "What kind of ability is a sneak attack!"
The swordsman didn't reply, the tip of his sword slicing mercilessly across the man's eyes.
"You can't kill me!
As soon as the words fell, the tip of the sword broke the artery in the man's neck. An ominous burst of blood, the man collapsed to the ground, and the body gradually cooled. The handsome young man put the thin sword behind his back and leaned against a pillar, a white robe sporadically stained with blood, it was Ying Yanshu.
The Countercurrent Mercenary Group may be the strongest mercenary group other than the former Jiyan Mercenary Group. However, unlike the neatly organized glamitis, the countercurrent is loosely organized. The organization will inform the members of the tasks received in a special way, and the members will take the orders on their own, allowing competition, and the remuneration after completing the tasks will be exclusive to the members. Any accidents that occur to members while on a mission have nothing to do with the organization. Therefore, there is no point in threatening a man in a hurry.
As far as Ying Yanshu knows, the leader of the countercurrent, Ming Li, once challenged Yan Hong. Yan Hong gave Ming Silence a hand, and as a result, he blinded Ming Silence's right eye for ten rounds. It was after that battle that Yan Hong became recognized as the first mercenary. Of course, it is not Yan Hong himself who was facing the battle at that time.
The lobby was quiet, and no one knew what to do. At this time, a woman in a delicate cheongsam walked out from behind the painting screen in the lobby, and her lips opened slightly: "Kill them." β
The woman's words were cruel, but her voice was very soft. Hearing this, the stunned guards said in unison: "Yes." The woman who practiced just now also got up from the ground, picked up the man's steel knife, and threw herself into battle. The leader is dead, the mercenaries are weakened, their morale is even weaker, and they are soon defeated.
Ying Yanshu leaned against the pillar, patted his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Fake, I didn't guess it just now." β
