Chapter 144: Great Chaos
"Alas, the Great Demon has been in turmoil for almost a year, and the Shangyang family has launched several large-scale attacks, all in vain, and the battle has fallen into a stalemate and stalemate, and I don't know when it will end."
"Yes, now people are panicking, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, and there are riots in many places, causing prices to soar and food shortages."
"It's not just a riot, there are demons popping up everywhere, wantonly devouring the people, but also those damned local tyrants and bad gentry, taking advantage of the chaos to hoard and make a fortune."
"Yes, the big demon will not be destroyed for a day, and the world will only get worse and worse, and only those innocent people will be pitied."
……
The four customers at the adjacent table were all carrying weapons, and at a glance they knew that they were people who practiced martial arts.
Dian Wei heard them talking eloquently, talking about the general trend of the world.
As he had expected, the worst had yet to come.
Because of the chaos of the big demons, natural disasters and man-made disasters in various places have erupted one after another, and the lives have been ruined, and the people are not able to make a living.
"In this way, Cangtong Town, as a grain producing area, is lucky." Dian Wei sighed in his heart.
"Okay, let's talk about business."
One of them put down his glass, looked at the other three, and said:
"Right now, the Gu family is recruiting troops, and the pay is quite good, do you want the four of us to join forces and go to have a good time?"
One person groaned: "I heard that the reason why the Gu family recruited masters was because there was a big incident three months ago, a masked man attacked the Gu family, killed people and set fires, as if entering a no-man's land, killed and injured dozens of people on the spot, and frightened others to break away from the Gu family, and did not dare to work for the Gu family anymore." ”
The other nodded, "Well, I've heard about this too." You say, did this Gu family offend anyone? If that person is really a first-class master, the four of us will join the Gu family at this time, but I am afraid that we will have the life to earn money and not the life to spend. ”
The first to speak said: "I also have this concern, the Gu family has been domineering for many years, and has offended many people and many forces, this time they have invested heavily in recruiting people, they should have been forced to have no choice, and I feel that there must be brave men under the heavy reward." ”
The last person took a sip of wine and said slowly: "I said, have you three forgotten that the executioner Wang Miao is barbaric?" His son Miao Dongyan died in Gu's mansion, and the Miao people were furious and ordered the Gu family to find out the murderer within 100 days.
This hundred-day period, seeing that it is coming, the Gu family has not made any movement so far, in my opinion, hum, this Gu family is not in danger, and it may be over soon. ”
Hearing him say this, the other three were thoughtful, and their faces gradually retreated, and they didn't mention joining the Gu family again.
Next.
The four men shifted the conversation to a few other big events.
After chatting for a while, one of them suddenly sighed: "If this continues, the Shangyang family may be finished." ”
"Brother Liu, be careful that the wall has ears, don't talk nonsense."
"What are you afraid of, am I wrong?
When the Shangyang family was at war with the big demons, the biggest hostile force, the Helian family, was fighting hard, and everyone knew that when the Shangyang family was the weakest, it was the time when the Helian family was in trouble. ”
"In this world, I'm afraid it's going to be a complete chaos!"
One of them asked worriedly, "If that happens, will our town still be safe?" Will it also be involved in the scourge of war? ”
The man sighed with a solemn face and said, "I'm afraid that before the disaster of war comes, our whole place will be unlucky." ”
"Oh, what does Brother Liu mean by this?"
"Think about it, what is the biggest potential threat to our place, within a radius of eight hundred miles?"
"Of course it's the Valley of the Murderers."
"That's right, those vicious people in the Valley of the Murderers have long been sharpening their knives, as long as they feel that the time has come, they will definitely come out of the nest and ransack this place.
At that time, the safest place is only Tiexing City!
Ladies and gentlemen, if you want your families to be safe, you'd better send them to Tiexing City to avoid trouble. ”
The four of them drank the last glass of wine, checked out and left.
Dian Wei was thoughtful, eating peanuts and drinking slowly.
Not long after, a few more warriors walked into the wine shop and talked about some major events that had happened recently.
……
The gate of Gufu has been rebuilt and renewed, and there are no traces of collapse at all.
The one-eyed old man Cao Zaibang and the scarred woman Hu Erniang rode to the gate.
The two dismounted and reported their names to the doorman.
The doorman ran through the door and came directly outside Gu Tianjin's bedroom.
At this time, Gu Tianjin was seriously ill and bedridden.
Three months ago, this high-spirited bearded old man, already haggard and out of shape, had lost a lot of weight, his hair and beard were all gray, and he was too old.
This moment.
His eldest son, Gu Guangxiong, several other sons, and several grandchildren who have grown up, as well as minor grandchildren, are all in the room.
The atmosphere is depressing!
"Guangxiong, your master's 'Qingying Sword' Lu Yanyu is famous, with him covering you, the Miao people will not do anything to you.
Alas, the 100-day period is approaching, don't care about me anymore, take these children to Lu Yanyu as soon as possible. ”
Gu Tianjin coughed and spoke, as if he was explaining his last words.
Gu Guangxiong was tall, his fists were clenched, his eyebrows were full of violence, and he said in a deep voice:
"Miao Ren is too fucking domineering, too unreasonable, our Gu family has earned so much money for him, and he also offers treasures and women to him every year, but I didn't expect him to turn his face when he said it, and he didn't talk about it at all."
As soon as this remark came out.
The two maids who were waiting on the side looked at each other, and a sneer flashed at the corner of their mouths.
They are women from good families who were robbed by Gu Jiaqiang, and they were forced to be the maids of the Gu family, and they were afraid and hated of the Gu family in their hearts.
Gu Guangxiong's words, others may be qualified to say it, but his Gu family is not qualified to say it.
The Gu family has been rampant and domineering in the area of Baishui Town over the years, and they have done a lot of evil like the Miao people.
One is a wolf in the mountains, and the other is a snake in the ground.
In the past, they were in cahoots, but now they have turned their faces, and it is the turn of the Gu family to be bullied by the more powerful Miao people.
Who would have thought that Gu Guangxiong actually had the face to mention the words "unemotional", and he didn't ask himself, are there fewer people who have been betrayed by him over the years, and there are still fewer people who have been turned their faces and denied people by him?
What a shame!
Gu Tianjin waved his hand and said, "What's the point of saying this at this time, cough cough cough ......"
At this time, the doorman came to the doorman, knelt down on one knee and said: "Master, eldest son, there are two people outside the door, claiming to be Cao Zaibang and Hu Erniang, saying that they have something important to see." ”
Gu Tianjin was still coughing violently.
"Cao Zaibang, I've heard of this old thing."
Gu Guangxiong frowned and said: "Cao Zaibang, he is a person who runs the rivers and lakes, he has no great skills, and he is messing around, but I heard that this old thing is a thief and clever, timid and afraid of things, and when he encounters any trouble, he will definitely run away first." ”
Gu Tianjin breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of tea and asked, "What about Hu Erniang?" ”
Gu Guangxiong shook his head: "I've heard a little, but I don't know much about it." ”
Gu Tianjin: "This woman only debuted a few years ago, and she quickly became famous, known as a poisonous spider, good at using poison, and this woman is ruthless and vicious, and she especially likes to poison children."
I heard that two years ago, a woman passed by Twin Peaks and saw a stall selling sugar on the side of the road, so she seduced the vendor and poisoned the vendor to death, and then she pretended to be a vendor and gave the candy to her children for free, and the candy was poisoned by her, and more than 20 children were poisoned in one day.
It has long been rumored that the person who committed this case is this Hu Erniang. ”
Gu Guangxiong pouted and said, "Hmph, it's a vicious woman, but I don't know what these two people are looking for us?" ”
Gu Tianjin said to the doorman: "Xuan." ”
The doorman turned and ran.
Not long after, Cao Zaibang and Hu Erniang came to the room.
When the two of them smelled the strong smell of medicine, they knew that Gu Tianjin's situation was not good, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.
Gu Guangxiong said expressionlessly: "The two of you came from afar, I don't know what to advise?" ”
Cao Zaibang said slowly: "I heard that the Gu Mansion is offering a reward for a female assassin in black, I don't know if this reward is still counted?" ”
Gu Tianjin, who was lying down, sat up abruptly and said excitedly: "Of course count, the reward has never been revoked, have you found any clues?" ”
Without waiting for Cao Zaibang to speak, Gu Guangxiong shook his head and said: "Dad, many people have said that they have found clues these days, but the results are all fake, causing us to run around like headless flies, have you forgotten?" ”
Gu Tianjin instantly calmed down a lot:
"Yes, for the sake of a huge bounty, many people listened to the wind and rain, provided us with a lot of unverified fake news, and wasted our time and energy in vain.
Last time, someone reported the 'Female Flying Man' Yan Hongfeng, we believed it to be true, so we informed Miao Renman, but Yan Hongfeng flatly denied it, and after Miao Renman personally investigated, it was confirmed that Yan Hongfeng was indeed not a female assassin in black, and in a fit of anger, he taught us a hard lesson. ”
After listening to the double reed of the father and son, Cao Zaibang said calmly: "We have found the exact clue and dare to use someone to vouch for it." ”
Gu Tianjin's father and son glanced at each other, and instantly shook their spirits: "Hurry up." ”
Cao Zaibang smiled, raised two fingers and rubbed them.
Seeing this, Gu Guangxiong snorted coldly: "Until we verify the authenticity, we will not reward you." ”
Cao Zaibang raised his eyebrows and said: "According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, give half first, and then give the other half afterwards, isn't it?" If we provide false information, you can reclaim the bounty. ”
Gu Tianjin said: "Don't worry, as long as what you say is true, then you are the life-saving benefactor of the Gu family, and the reward will definitely be given to you." ”
Cao Zaibang and Hu Erniang discussed in a low voice, and responded: "In this case, write an IOU to us first, this is not too much to ask." ”
Gu Tianjin immediately said: "Yes." ”
The two sides quickly made a written note.
Cao Zaibang told the secret at this time: "In the Hanxiang Sect in the Hanxiang Valley, there is a woman named Hua Mingwei, her father died at the hands of the Gu family, and she has been looking for an opportunity to take revenge, and the female assassin in black who appeared that night was her. ”
"Hanxiang Pie, Hua Mingwei?" Gu Tianjin sat up directly, got out of bed and paced back and forth.
This scene made Cao Zaibang and Hu Erniang look at each other.
Dare to love this old puppet is not seriously ill, and may not even be sick at all, it is all pretended.
