Chapter 41: Night City
The moon is like a hook, the breeze caresses the face, and the night is quiet only to hear the occasional sound of beating.
Standing on a high place in the hidden darkness of Weiyang Palace, the palace lanterns are hung high, and the lanterns are swaying in the dark night, and the highlight of the whole Kyoto is only in Weiyang Palace.
The wind blew the leaves rustling, and in the dark night, I saw a slender figure, dressed in black, standing with his back, facing the direction of Weiyang Palace, and the figure of a man was no different.
"Who's going to take this order?" The man in black asked softly, his voice particularly low in the night.
"Hey, city lord, five days ago, someone gave 70,000 taels of gold to take the life of King Xi, if you take the head, add 100,000 taels of silver, and take this order in the left vice law of Kyoto." Five steps away from the man in black, a kneeling man in black replied respectfully, his hand holding the ground trembling slightly.
"Kill him!"
"Yes, my subordinates are commanded."
"Let the deputy city lord come and see the master."
"Yes." The man in black kneeling on the ground replied respectfully, and after not seeing any instructions for a long time, he looked up, and there were still people in front of him, so he sat down on the ground, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and quietly disappeared into the night.
As soon as the dinner in Chengxi's palace ended, Tao Xi ordered his subordinates to serve him well, and when he got drunk with King Cheng Jin, Tao Min's personal attendant helped his master and went to the wing.
"Lord, why don't you put on a coat, you are not afraid of freezing at night, it is only a few days before the wind and cold." Mrs. Yuan said and took a cloak and put it on Tao Xi.
"Yuan, do you know Dark Night City?" Tao Xi looked at the bright moon outside the window, holding a brocade box in his hand, slowly rubbing it.
Mrs. Yuan was stunned, her eyes rolled for a while and said, "Lord Wang, how did you know about Dark Night City?" Is it ...... today? ”
With a worried face, his prince returned home today, and his skirt was stained with blood, and he was really shocked.
Tao Xi nodded, thinking that if he didn't have Mu Ran Junnuo today, he was afraid that he would be reincarnated again.
"Na Yuan, tell this king about this Night City!" Tao Xi put down the brocade box in his hand and pulled Mrs. Yuan to sit at the table.
From Mrs. Yuan's narration, Tao Xi got it, Dark Night City is not a city, but a killer organization that has existed for a long time, and the starting price of killing a person is more than 10,000 taels of gold, and the current Lord of Dark Night City has never shown his true face.
"I haven't been involved in the world for a long time in the dark night, could it be that I was born this time just to kill the prince?" After Mrs. Yuan finished explaining, she asked worriedly.
"How long have you not been in the world?" Tao Xi raised his eyebrows and asked, he has not been involved in the world for a long time, but now he can have some fun.
Mrs. Yuan sat down and explained: "Yes, it is rumored that the city lord was killed more than ten years ago, and the whole city went out to find the murderer, and there has been no news of the dark night. ”
Tao Xi laughed out loud: "That king is also valuable, and someone invited him to move the dark night that has not entered the world for a long time." His crooked eyes were full of coldness.
"Lord Wang, when you go out these days, it's good to bring some secret guards, just in case." Mrs. Yuan arranged with a worried face.
Tao Xi touched his right cheek and smiled: "No, let the dark guard be careful to stay in the capital, this king doesn't need it for the time being." ”
I underestimated him, killed thirteen people and didn't get hurt, hehe.
"Then the prince, in recent days, it's better not to go out, in a few days it will be the day of marriage, after the prince gets married, it will be safe to return to Jinxiu." Mrs. Yuan reminded again with a worried look.
Tao Xi smiled comfortingly at Mrs. Yuan. "Well, this king will be careful, Yuan, I won't let go of any of those people, including that one?"
