Chapter 27: Together, Together
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, only then did he calm down his almost chaotic internal breath, and smiled at Ding Qing: "Actually, no matter whether you underestimate me or not, with the Peach Blossom Assassin here, you are destined to fail the task." ”
"Peach Blossom Assassin?" This name is undoubtedly like thunder, and even a master like Ding Qing can't help but change his face, and his gaze moves towards the face of the girl in cuiyi, "She? ”
Ding Qing has seen the skills of the girl in green clothes, and knows that this little girl seems to be weak, but in fact it is unfathomable, if she is the "Peach Blossom Assassin", it is not impossible.
Ding Qing looked at the eyes of the girl in cuiyi, and suddenly took on a strong color of jealousy.
Even among the masters of the "Upper Three Realms", the "Peach Blossom Assassin" is also an extremely dangerous existence.
The girl in cuiyi pursed her lips: "Brother Chen, you are bluffing people again!" Sister Ding, don't listen to his nonsense, how can a weak little girl like me be a peach blossom assassin! ”
Ding Qing's eyes moved, as if she had comprehended some kind of message conveyed by the girl in green clothes, and quietly took half a step forward.
Jiang Chen said coldly: "If you take one more step, I will kill this fat man!" ”
As he spoke, he exerted force under his feet and stomped the old butler's chest.
The old housekeeper lying in a pool of blood was also stubborn, and his right hand was injured like that, but he still endured it and kept silent.
But Jiang Chen's follow-up foot stepped on the fragile part of the old butler's chest, making his breathing uncontrollably turbid.
Ding Qing's eyes swept over the old butler, and he snorted softly: "You think you can blackmail me with his life?" ”
"He's your employer, and if your employer is dead, what's the point of you doing it again?"
At this time, the old butler at Jiang Chen's feet opened his mouth wide, and with a heavy breath, he said with difficulty: "Tail payment...... Go to Miss Gan...... She'll give you ......."
Jiang Chen's eyes moved: "Sure enough, that Miss Gan is the real mastermind behind the scenes, right?" ”
The old butler's facial muscles twitched with pain, and he grinned into a twisted and ugly smile: "I'm an old idiot, but I'm willing to do anything for her!" ”
"Even if you betray Fourth Master Jia and Mrs. Jia for this reason, and break up a pair of lovers who truly love each other?"
The old butler gritted his teeth and sneered in his throat: "Ho-ho-ho...... Do you think they really love each other? If it weren't for the "infatuation spell" of the Qing Hades Temple, how could the master love her to death! Our wife is not a fuel-efficient lamp......"
"The Green Hades Temple! Infatuation spell! ”
Jiang Chen's heart was shocked.
He had heard of the name of the Green Immortal Temple, whose master was known as the "Walker of the Heavens", who was the power of the tenth order "Great Awakening" Buddha, with vast magical powers and boundless mana, and was good at manipulating people's hearts and playing with sentient beings in the palm of his hand.
And the "infatuation spell" in the old housekeeper's mouth, as soon as I heard it, it was a mind control spell, and with Jia Siye and a mortal, I was afraid that it would be difficult to resist.
As for Mrs. Jia's temperament......
Although in the mouths of Fourth Master Jia and the people of Jia's mansion, Mrs. Jia is a noble and elegant woman, judging from the so many corpses in the cave, how can she not have the ruthless heart to kill decisively?
She did such a thing as a curse, although Jiang Chen was surprised and thought about it carefully, it was reasonable.
Jiang Chen just sighed, the two sisters, Mrs. Jia and Miss Gan, one spelled her husband, and the other used witchcraft to turn her sister into a monster, which is really worthy of a family!
"Poor, poor!" The girl in green clothes sighed, "It turns out that such a beautiful and moving love is just a deception under the control of spells?" ”
She raised her head slightly, and her pretty face seemed to be covered with a touch of melancholy, "Why are the people in this false story happy and sad?" ”
Jiang Chen looked down at the old butler's painfully distorted face and said, "Even so, you shouldn't ...... Forget it, I don't have time to preach to you, you let Ding Qing step down, and then go with us to see Fourth Master Jia! ”
The old butler's wheezing voice became heavier and heavier, and his chest rose and fell sharply like a bellows: "Miss Ding, entrust ...... change"
Ding Qing snorted lightly, staring at Jiang Chen's eyes, the fierce light did not retreat.
The old butler said intermittently: "My wife...... Please...... Kill her......"
Before he finished speaking, a stream of purple-black blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his pupils dilated.
Jiang Chen hurriedly moved his feet, squatted down to check the old housekeeper's body, and found that there was no longer any life.
He ...... How could he ......" Jiang Chen looked at the old butler's dead eyes and was greatly surprised.
Although the old butler was stripped of one hand and stepped on a few times by himself, he wouldn't die so quickly, right?
"It has nothing to do with you, he hid poison and was ready to die a long time ago." Chiyang patted Jiang Chen's shoulder, then looked up at Ding Qing, "It seems that there is no need for us to fight anymore." ”
Ding Qing let out a chuckle and casually returned the sword to the sheath, in a graceful posture.
"It's a pity that the winner hasn't been decided yet." She raised her eyebrows, even if she was covered with a face scarf, she revealed a different kind of charm, "Chiyang, you are very strong, I like you very much, next time we can change places to meet." ”
Chiyang snorted: "No need, Miss Ding's swordsmanship, I'm ashamed." ”
Ding Qing was not reluctant, and turned to look at Jiang Chen: "Boy, you are not bad, I remember you." ”
Jiang Chen was still distracted, and only subconsciously glanced at her.
"We'll meet again later." Ding Qing stretched out a finger and hooked it, "When the time comes, I will let you be at my mercy willingly." ”
Jiang Chen watched her get on the horse and leave with a strange expression, and heard a few low chuckles from the girl in cuiyi behind his ears: "The wind and lakes have passed on the demon sword Ding Qingshui Yang Hua, the wind is indulgent, if a child man like you falls into her hands, hehe, what kind of evil methods do you say she will use against you?" ”
Jiang Chenben was still puzzled by Ding Qing's last sentence, and when he heard the ridicule of the girl in Cuiyi, he suddenly slowly spread out a luxurious and indecent picture scroll in his mind, and swallowed his saliva: "That's really terrible." ”
The girl in green clothes snorted: "You seem to be looking forward to it." ”
The three of them found Mrs. Jia, who was wandering not far away, and went north together, returned to Western Liao City, and headed towards Jiafu.
The sun is getting slanting.
White Rock Street, Jia House.
When Jia Siye, who was helped out by the servant, saw Mrs. Jia at a glance, he almost couldn't believe his eyes, threw off the servant's arm and ran over, but because of the vague footsteps, he rolled down the steps one by one.
Mrs. Jia was also full of tears, rushed forward to help Jia Siye, the two hugged each other and cried, and the onlookers were all moved.
And Miss Gan, who was supposed to come out to greet her sister, was nowhere to be seen at this time.
After relieving his emotions, Jia Siye couldn't wait to pour out his heartfelt feelings, and under the reminder of Mrs. Jia, he thanked the three of Chiyang for his kindness, ordered the servants to take the honorarium, and warmly invited the three heroes to dinner together, but Chiyang politely refused on the grounds of "not disturbing the reunion of the virtuous couple".
In Jia Siye's gratitude and retention, the three of them bid farewell to Jiafu and discussed the division of honorarium under the auspices of Chiyang.
In addition to the promised 5,000 taels of honorarium, Jia Siye also gave an additional 2,000 taels of bounty to express his gratitude, a total of 7,000 taels of silver, which is also a lot of money. But Chiyang didn't blink his eyelids, so he gave 5,000 taels of it to the girl in cuiyi, which was regarded as the "life money" promised in the gambling contract.
For the remaining two thousand taels, Chiyang took out one thousand taels from them and distributed them to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the silver ticket.
Chiyang only had one thousand taels left in the silver ticket in his hand, and he counted half of it and handed it to the girl in cuiyi.
This move surprised even the girl in green clothes.
But she didn't refuse, and accepted it happily with a smile: "It's very hard to run back and forth for dozens of miles, and the skin is tanned, which is actually not cost-effective." ”
