Chapter 154: Money or Death? (Ask for a recommendation!)
On the pagoda of the White Horse Temple, Ying Dangdang and Ling Hu Minzhi glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"It's too rough, it's too rough. Ying dared to slap the palm of his hand with a folding fan, and sighed again and again. "It's not beautiful at all, it's not good, it's not good. β
"So direct?" Ling Hu Minzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly. "I believed that he would win, but I didn't expect it to be so easy. It's just devastating, like a bamboo, and sure enough, the master is not working, and the heavy sword has no edge. β
He turned his head to look at the historian who had fallen silent. "Although he has not read any military books, he is a true genius on the battlefield. β
"Genius?" Ying dared to sneer, disdainful. "What's the difference between this and a child's fight, it's nothing more than bullying people with the strong power of giants, where is the slightest beauty of the art of war. Those who are in the art of war, in the midst of strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, talking and laughing, the captives are wiped out, that is called beauty......"
Ling Hu Minzhi smiled slightly: "Seventh Prince, don't you think that Wuji at this moment is really beautiful? If it's a field battle, maybe you can pick up a wildflower and smell it and smile. β
"This ......" Ying dared to tilt her head and think about it, and laughed: "Yes, what you said is a little interesting." However, I don't think he's so elegant, and he won't be in the mood to laugh at flowers. Even if it's a flower, it's a golden flower. A layman, he is a layman, how can he have the elegance of a smile. β
A flash of smugness flashed in Ling Hu Minzhi's eyes, and he smiled without saying a word.
......
"I heard that my life is worth a thousand gold?" Wuji shook his toes and said unhurriedly: "Master Shimen." How much deposit did you charge?"
As soon as he heard the daughter, Shi Dalong suddenly came to life, and hurriedly took out a large stack of golden tickets from his arms. His hands shook violently. The golden ticket fell to the ground like snowflakes. Shi Dalong was in a hurry, got on all fours, and picked them up one by one.
With a "whoosh", his brocade pants were torn, revealing his white cheeks. The cool breeze blew and made Shi Dalong tremble. Suddenly realized that he was too ugly to look like this, and he had lost his identity as the owner.
How can the dignified master of the door of death be like a dog. Prostrate in front of the enemy.
At this moment, he should pick up a knife and fight to the death with Wuji.
He slowly turned his head to look at Mowgli. A drop of cold sweat poured from his forehead. Along the oily face, it slowly slipped down and dripped into the dust.
There was a soft sound of "pop", but it was like a thunderbolt that exploded in Shi Dalong's heart.
Wuji smiled silently, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyes were clear and calm, and there was no trace of fluctuation.
Shi Dalong was shocked. He lowered his head again and slowly picked up a golden ticket. Squeeze it tightly in your hands.
He wanted to pounce and fight with no door. Although he has not been a dead soldier for many years, his martial arts have not fallen. With the help of various elixirs, he already had the strength of the third order of the spirit realm. At such a distance, he can hit it with one blow.
But he didn't dare, Mowgli's smile seemed innocent, but in his eyes, it was extremely evil. Wuji's eyes seem to be clear, but they are like a pool of abyss, unfathomable, as if he has long seen through his mind and is waiting for him to make a move.
Shi Dalong noticed that there was a little cold light between Wuji's fingers.
This is the blade of the Shadow Door, which can easily slice through both leather bags and human throats.
That's right, Jing Sanhu, a famous Shadow Gate master in the Dao back then, is now Wuji's servant, and Wuji is likely to have learned his technique, and is waiting to test his technique with Shi Dalong's neck.
Shi Dalong saw Lin Fei behind Wuji again, and saw Lin Fei's hand holding the bow, and he was even more shocked.
He had seen with his own eyes Lin Fei's strength in killing Ye Wenjin with one arrow, and just now he saw the scene of Lin Fei killing thirty-seven people with thirty-seven arrows, and he had also heard Jing Dahai say that Lin Fei could shoot at the blade thrown by the master of the Shadow Gate from a hundred steps away.
Now, Lin Fei was only two steps away from him.
After a few breaths, Shi Dalong's courage was gone, he walked to Wuji on his knees, held the golden ticket in both hands, and sent it to Wuji with trembling, but his head was so low that his chin was about to touch his chest, looking like a leper dog with a broken backbone.
Looking at this scene, the dead soldiers suddenly felt cold in their hearts, but their faces were hot.
There was a soft sound of "dang", I don't know who it was, I threw down the short knife in my hand, turned around, and walked out slowly.
After a while, two more dead men departed.
As if the embankment had collapsed, more dead soldiers threw down their weapons, stepped on piles of rubble, left the Shi family's compound, and disappeared into the night. Their backs look so lonely, so lost, so desolate.
There were less than a hundred dead people left. Although they did not leave, they still had weapons in their hands, but they had no fighting spirit.
Wuji stretched out his hand, took the golden ticket presented by Shi Dalong, spit on his fingertips, and slowly counted it.
"Fifteen, ten, fifteen, twenty......"
Shi Dalong lay on the ground, not daring to move, his body trembled involuntarily, looking like he was kowtowing to Wuji.
Mowgli finished counting the golden tickets and patted them on his hand. "It wasn't a thousand gold, it was two thousand gold. My head is worth so much? yes, yes. β
Shi Dalong wanted to speak and stopped. He wanted to sue SΓΉ Wuji, but he only received a reward of 1,000, and the 1,000 gold was his own. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. Suing SΓΉ Wuji is not as valuable as he imagined, will it make Wuji unhappy?
"Master Shimen, just for these two thousand gold, you let me have a home and can't go back, and I have to send someone under the fence for the New Year, isn't it too much?" Wuji patted the golden ticket in his hand and sighed: "I'm very hurt, Master Shimen, what do you say?"
Shi Dalong said in a trembling voice: "It's all up to ...... Expert...... Enjoin. β
"Alright, let's be more straightforward. I'm just a small people from the frontier, it's worth two thousand gold, and your Shimen master is a Jingshi master, and a well-known death gate master, so you must be more valuable than me, right?"
"Big Dragon...... How can there be a high ...... High human life...... Valuable ......"
"Huh?" Wuji snorted and sank his face: "You mean that." Am I wrong?"
Shi Dalong stammered, not knowing what to say.
"Of course, the life of your Shimen master is more valuable. I'm worth two thousand gold, and you're worth three thousand gold. Four thousand gold, Master Shimen, do you want money, or do you want your life?"
Only then did Shi Dalong understand, and his scalp suddenly went numb. In order to revive the morale of the dead door and unite people's hearts, he has already taken out a thousand gold. Reward your subordinates when you're done with the preparations. All this money is now in Wuji's hands, where is there still 3,000 gold, and 4,000 gold is given to Wuji. to redeem his life.
"I ...... I ......"
"Don't sue me that you don't have any money. Wuji sneered: "The dignified master of the Dead Door has always been in the business of buying people's lives, but he can't come up with the money to buy his own life, which is too ridiculous." β
Shi Dalong sweated like rain.
"You have it. Or not?" Mowgli became impatient. "Give me a good word. I still have to rush back to eat dumplings and welcome the God of Wealth, I don't have time to talk to you here. β
"Yes, yes!" Shi Dalong suddenly blessed his heart, and said in a loud voice: "I'll borrow, I'll borrow!"
"Then hurry. β
"Wow. Shi Dalong got busy, and when he saw his subordinates, his face was a little hot.
But he didn't care about it now. I called a cronie and gave a few orders. The cronies gave him a suspicious look. Shi Dalong gave a fierce push. Roared: "Why don't you go quickly, do you want to watch me die?"
The cronies gritted their teeth and turned to leave.
Shi Dalong stumbled to the backyard again, called his wife, who was crying among the rubble, whispered a few words, and then dug hard through the rubble. It didn't take long for him to clear out a place, lift a floor tile, take out a box from it, and return to Wuji.
His wife also followed, holding the gold, silver and jade ornaments that had just been found from the Shi family's daughters, and even the longevity lock worn by a child.
"High ...... Master, this is all the savings of my family, and there are more than 1,500 gold. These jewels, which I have purchased over the years, are about 500 gold. β
As he was talking, Xing Dahong, the owner of the door, hurriedly walked over with two attendants. Seeing that the Shi family was in a mess, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He walked up to Shi Dalong, asked a few questions, and then took a box from the attendant's hand and stuffed it into Shi Dalong's hand.
Shi Dalong opened it and saw that there was a stack of golden tickets, two hundred and one, a total of ten.
Shi Dalong turned around and wanted to leave.
Xing Dahong stretched out his hand and grabbed him. Shi Dalong glanced at him, struggled hard, held the box, and stumbled towards Wuji.
"High ...... Master, there are two more ...... here Two thousand gold. β
Wuji took the box, glanced at it, nodded, packed all the golden tickets into it, and turned around to hand it to the stone.
"The money, I took it. Jewelry, you take it back. It's the New Year, and you can't let your wife and children even have no jewelry, right?"
Shi Dalong was stunned and ecstatic, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Thank you, thank you. β
Xing Dahong shook his head silently. He knew that Shi Dalong was finished.
Mowgli stood up and stretched. "Master Shimen, there is one more thing, can I ask you a favor?"
"Master, please speak. β
"My future mother-in-law said she didn't want you to see the sunshine of the New Year, you said, what should I do?"
Shi Dalong was shocked, sat on the ground with his butt, and climbed back a few steps one after another. "High ...... Superior, I ...... I ......"
Xing Dahong sighed, walked over, and bowed.
"Can I say a word, sir?"
"Please. β
"The big dragon has eyes and no beads, and he collided with Mr., and he really deserves to die. However, he had already paid a heavy price, and he had lost his family and ransomed his life. If you want to take his life, isn't it ......?"
Wuji was surprised: "When did I say I was going to take his life?"
"Then you say, your future mother-in-law ......"
"Haha......" Mowgli laughed. "I can't see the sunshine of the New Year, there are many ways to kill him, of course, it is one of them, but it is not the only one. Master Xingmen, you just said that you have eyes and no beads, this can also be regarded as a kind, right?"
