Hu Fei ran all the way, letting his tears scatter in the wind.

He ran and ran, from late night to dawn, and then to dawn, from the inner city to the outer city and then to the mountains.

He finally couldn't run anymore, and his whole body fell to the ground like a stumbling block, gasping for air.

The true qi in the body was still chaotic, and it was beaten by the cultivator who came out of nowhere. As for the injuries on his muscles and bones, they were all minor injuries for him as a cultivator, and he didn't care about them.

But his heart hurts, never since he was born. Their mission failed, and Hu Zhen saved him with his own life. This is a foresight, in their plans, although they have already done foresight. Once something happens, Hu Zhen's head is smart enough, Hu Zhen stays dead, and Hu Fei runs away. That way, you don't have to throw your life here with both of you.

At that time, Hu Fei said, I die, you run, you have taken care of me for so many years, it is my turn to take care of you once.

Hu Zhen said, I should take care of you, and when the master left, he also told me that you are younger, and I should take care of you. Besides, if you stay, I'm afraid you'll both end up dead. So instead of dying all, it's better to run one, and that's it.

Hu Fei can't talk about Hu Zhen, so he can only listen to Hu Zhen.

When Hu Zhen's "go quickly" came out, he saw the unprecedented resoluteness in Hu Zhen's eyes, and he even saw a hint of ease.

Now, he understands why Hu Zhen feels relieved. Because Hu Zhen died for him, he will have to bear this debt for the rest of his life.

The victims, the brave and the rescued, feel guilty all their lives.

How he thought, he was the one who died at that time, so now, it is not him who suffers.

Hu Fei lay on the ground for more than an hour, wiped away his tears, and returned to their residence.

He told Zhao Biao, a confidant of the county honor, that the mission had failed.

Zhao Biao just nodded and didn't say anything.

Hu Fei was silently tidying up things in the house, in fact, there was nothing to tidy up, except for a few clothes when they came, there was nothing.

At this time, Hu Fei put all the remaining silver that Zhao Biao spent on the table, as well as the deposit given by the middleman in the early stage, all on the table. Hu Zhen said that once the task fails, you can't ask for money, and you don't have the face to ask for it.

On this day, Hu Fei was in a daze, he didn't want to eat, he didn't want to move, he couldn't sleep,

Early the next morning, Lin Yanri's predecessors came. new world

Hu Fei told Senior Lin about the situation, Lin Yanri sighed, and said, "In this way, it just happened to be a helping hand, and he is also a master." You can't beat each other, can you?"

Hu Fei thought about it and said, "If we treat him from the beginning, he may not be our opponent." One-on-one, we are not opponents, two-on-one, we are sure. But the man... He seems to have a lot of experience, but now that I think about it, he used a lot of tactics to turn us around..."

Lin Yanri nodded: "I understand." I don't blame you, it's my fault, it's my underestimation, my wrong prediction of the opponent's strength, that made your mission fail, and let Hu Zhen die. ”

Hu Fei stood up and arched his hand and said, "What did Senior Lin say?" How can we blame you? only ourselves..."

Lin Yanri waved his hand and said, "You rest here for a few days first, and I'll discuss with the buyer to see what to do next." Don't worry, I'll give you all the money. ”

Hu Fei was about to refuse immediately, but when he was glared at by Lin Yanri, he stopped talking, and only decided in his heart that he would not ask for a penny no matter what.

Lin Yanri was still in the pavilion where he brought the two killers to meet the county honor, and met the county zun again.

Of course, Lin Yanri wore a mask, this has been the rule for so many years, and when he faces the world as an intermediary, he must wear a mask.

"My lord, this mission has failed. Lin Yanri's tone was very flat, and he was a little apologetic, a perfect gesture.

The county was silent for a moment before he said, "What is the reason?"

Lin Yanri said: "Because I estimated that the opponent's strength was insufficient, a master came temporarily, resulting in a loss of the whole game." ”

Zhao Biao had already told the county about the process of failure, so the county knew it well. He knew that he had made the real mistake. In other words, it's not a mistake. Because when the county zun sent people to inquire about Li Xuan'er and them, their strength was so good, and there were no masters. No one expected that when the killer was about to complete the task, a master would come out halfway.

"My lord, the silver will be returned to you. Lin Yanri pushed a cloth bag from the stone table to the county honor.

The county lord looked up at Lin Yanri and said, "Two killers, one died." The final payment still has to be paid, and the killer's life is his life, and they have worked hard. As he spoke, Zhao Biao next to him handed over 1,500 taels of the final payment, saying that it was the final payment, but it was actually a few hundred taels more than the previous final payment. Then he handed over another 5,000 taels of silver tickets.

Xianzun continued: "In addition, I will pay another five thousand taels, you can continue to let the remaining killer perform the task, or find the killer again, whatever you want, anyway, you have to continue to complete this task for me." ”

Lin Yanri immediately refused: "My lord, how can this be done! You can take back the silver ticket." You can't ask for this silver, a failure in the task is a failure, you can't ask for a penny, you are breaking the rules. ”

The county respected smiled and said: "The rules are set by people, they are not easy, and the one who is alive did not run away with the silver, but came back to tell Zhao Biao about the situation, and even I heard Zhao Biao say that the one who survived packed up all his things, and even put the money we gave for meals every day on the table intact, just waiting for us to catch up, he left." The people you introduced are so affectionate and respectful, so I can't turn a blind eye. You know me, I'm not short of money, what is this money to me? I just admire them. Xiaolin, I just said what I want to say, I won't say anything superfluous, you can do it. We have been working together for more than ten years, and this is the first time you have not succeeded, do I still care about you? If you see if it will work, if it is okay, I will do what I say, if it does not work, then I will have to find someone else again. ”

Lin Yanri listened to the words of the county honor, was silent for a long time, seemed to be struggling for something, after a long time, he stood up, took off the mask on his face, showed the county zun with his true face, and said: "Since the adults trust me so much, then I will be cheeky and hope to atone for my sins." With that, he arched his hands, picked up all the things on the table, and walked towards Hu Fei's residence.

Lord Xianzun looked at the mask on the stone table and smiled slightly.
