Chapter Fifty-Six: The Eyes of the City Gate

Chen Yunsheng took out five taels of silver from his arms, handed it to Zhao Rui, and said, "Please ask Shopkeeper Zhao to find some people to clean up these things at the door." ”

Zhao Rui looked at the young boss who acted unexpectedly in a daze, and muttered: "We can't just clean it up ourselves, so many servants, why go to find someone else?"

At this time, Chen Yunsheng had already returned to the teahouse with everyone, and he didn't seem to hear his whispered muttering. Zhao Rui shook his head, and secretly sighed that Chen Yunsheng would not pass, kicked away a rotten vegetable leaf, and went to the East City Gate to find idle people.

Back in the house, Chen Yunsheng looked at the expressionless Wei Chixue and said, "I won't restrict your actions tonight, you can do whatever you want, just don't let others find out." ”

"Wordy. Yu Chixue glanced at him and said angrily.

Chen Yunsheng knew that he was dissatisfied with himself in his heart, and if he hadn't stopped Yu Chixue by himself, there would be no matter today. I didn't get angry at the moment, and leisurely went back to my room to refine my qi.

......

The next day was a sunny day, and no matter where you are, the sunny day of the twilight chūn season is pleasant. The chūn of the cozy wind blows the people to smoke yù sleep. Although it was early in the morning, the pedestrians on the road had sleepy eyes, as if they had not fully woken up from the good dreams of last night.

The east gate of Tianshui City gathered a lot of merchants, and naturally there were many porters and coolies who were doing business here. Because the Xiliang Kingdom is adjacent to the Pilu Kingdom in the east, the people there are simple and simple, and the lord of the country is not good at conquest, and the Xiliang Kingdom has always lived in harmony. The Western Liang Kingdom exchanged various animal skins, herbs, metals, and various mineral deposits produced by the Heavenly Dome Mountains for spices, jewelry, and various armor and weapons from the Pilu Kingdom.

Today, a procession of merchants dressed in starlight overnight rushed to the east gate of Tianshui City at the moment of dawn, and the group was dusty, and their faces were full of exhaustion. On the towering gatehouse, the soldiers had not yet begun to patrol, and the gatekeeper guarding the gate frowned, cursing while opening the gate of the eastern city. With a creaking and screeching sound, the one-foot-thick copper-clad door was pushed open by ten strong men.

According to the custom, the merchant team gave the gate army a hundred large dollars, which was used as a travel fee. The leading merchant had a smile on his face, and the old soldier who guarded the gate looked greedy, his eyes constantly wandering around the bulging goods. A group of more than ten people passed through the doorway, and five people walked through them in turn, and the sixth person suddenly shouted: "Why is it raining in the clear sky?"

The merchant at the head snorted and muttered: "Little Liuzi, you haven't been crazy about anything, how can it rain in the city cave? Give me some more strength to sell, and when I get to the place, I will give you an extra salary. ”

Before the words fell, I heard Xiao Liuzi shouting loudly, and the sound was like killing a pig, which alarmed everyone. The people gradually gathered around, and the merchant led by him was displeased: "What are you shouting, it looks like a dead man." ”

Koroko's face turned pale and she began to vomit. The crowd helped him up for some reason, and the merchant at the head asked with concern, "Why are you? Could it be that you suffered from the wind chill last night?"

"No, no, that, that's not rain, it's blood. Xiao Liuzi pointed to the top of his head and stammered.

Everyone looked up into the doorway, and their faces were as pale as white paper. It turned out that there were more than 30 heads hanging densely on the top of the cave of the city gate. The hair of these people was nailed into the brick cracks at the top of the doorway, and all the ears, noses, and facial features of their faces were dug out, leaving only a few black holes in the hollows.

The remaining black sè blood flowed down the dreadlock's hair and dripped right on Koroko's face. When they saw the terrible situation above their heads, they were immediately so frightened that they could not speak, and a young sergeant who had never seen a dead man sat down on the ground in fright. When he was holding his hand against the wall and trying to stand up, he suddenly felt a little soft in his tentacles.

When he turned his head to look, he found that a round eye was staring at him, the eyeball was set on the wall by something, and the white part of the eye was covered with bloodshots, and it was full of resentment. Looking to the side again, I saw that every few steps there were several tongues, ears and other facial features, and the blood stains on them had dried, similar to the face of the wall, and it was impossible to distinguish without looking carefully. Unable to bear the fright, several young porters and gatekeepers hurried out of the gates, leaning against the walls and vomiting, sweat soaking through their clothes.

......

After Chen Yunsheng finished exhaling, he felt that the spiritual yuan in his body was full, the soul power was full, the yuan magnetic was abundant, and he was in excellent condition. Since he fought with Jin Guang, he has practiced for thousands of miles, and many bottlenecks that he has saved for a long time and cannot be broken through by water grinding kung fu have actually broken through in these few days. In the timely addition of Ping Rì Lingsu's supplement, he faintly felt the looming top of the upper realm in the early stage of Jindan.

Chen Yunsheng knew that just seeing the top, there was still a long way to go before he could touch that layer of existence, and it was even far from breaking through. He pushed open the door, let the chūn wind blow outside the door, collected the futon under his feet, and walked lightly into the courtyard.

Although the small courtyard is not large, it has cultivated a lot of plants, and in a flower garden, there is already a large area of tender green, and many of them can't bear the loneliness, hurriedly blooming buds, grass, flowers, and the smell of freshly turned earth are mixed together, making him feel comfortable between his chest and abdomen.

At this moment, Yu Chixue came from outside the door like a ghost, and unexpectedly took the initiative to nod his head unexpectedly. Chen Yunsheng said curiously: "Why did you go for so long last night, you went for an hour, did you ...... those coerced neighborhoods?"

"Of course not. Do you think I'm a murderer? I've always been temperate and guarded, and I'm a good Assassin, but not a man who likes to kill. Yu Chixue said expressionlessly. But Chen Yunsheng always felt that there was an unreal smile between the lines.

"And what have you been doing for so long? I feel like you're happy. Chen Yunsheng questioned.

Yu Chixue snorted, came to a big tree in the courtyard zhōngyāng, stretched out his hand to brush the layer of wrinkled bark, and muttered: "I'm happy because, the day of chūn is coming, and everything is recovering, don't you think this is a thing to be happy about?"

"Is hanging a person's head in the doorway what you call moderation?" said a woman's voice as she suddenly sounded in the courtyard. The two turned their heads to look, and saw a woman with small eyebrows and eyes standing under a flower tree, somewhat similar to Fang Minglan, but there was a little more yīn depression between the corners of this woman's eyes and eyebrows.

Chen Yunsheng was shocked, there had never been a person who could sneak in under his nose, if this woman attacked him just now, I am afraid that there is a high probability that Xìng has already injured himself. Yu Chixue was even more surprised, because the direction in which the woman appeared was the direction he was facing, which really appeared under his nose. This was a blow to an Assassin who ate in hiding.

"Who are you?" the two men asked in unison.

"Yo, what's the matter, scare two people who like to torture and kill? It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is what I want to do, do you want to know what I do?" said the petite woman half-playfully.

"Of course"

Chen Yunsheng replied, with a few more murderous wisps in his tone, and his hands gradually filled with Yuan magnetic wires.

"But how do I feel like you're trying to kill me?" said the petite woman, who looked three parts delicate and seven parts ghostly.

Chen Yunsheng gradually let go of his half-buttoned fingers, and said coldly: "No matter who you are, tell your purpose, I can guarantee that you will get out of this courtyard alive." ”

"What's the use of getting out of the city alive, those young men in red weren't tortured and killed by your brother in black yesterday. I was shocked to see it last night, he even gouged out people's eyes and tongues, and nailed them to the door of the east gate, I really admired this brother's patience, perseverance and imagination. "The woman's teeth are sharp and her mouth is crackling, like pouring beans.

Chen Yunsheng glanced at Yu Chixue, a little unhappy in his heart, although he instructed Yu Chixue to get rid of the Axe Gang, but this method was inevitably too vicious, and it was a little inconsistent with his heart.

Yu Chixue looked at this petite woman in horror, he could not care about Chen Yunsheng's hidden anger, but he couldn't hide his shock at the sudden appearance of the woman.

The scene was anxious for a while, Chen Yunsheng pulled out his double knives, and said expressionlessly: "Although I don't approve of his approach, it doesn't mean that I can accept your tricks, if you have nothing to say, I will do it." ”

The blue sè's electric glow quietly crawled all over the blade, like a layer of magnificent patterns, even though it was daytime, it still pierced people's eyes. The petite woman's face changed slightly, and she said: "I didn't expect your temper to be small, it's not that I'm afraid of you, it's just that when I went out, the master strictly ordered me not to conflict with you." My master wants to meet you. ”

"See me?" said Chen Yunsheng, pointing to his nose.

"That's right, it's to see you, Chen Yunsheng. The petite woman called out his name clearly.

"Where is it?" Chen Yunsheng said warily.

"Tu Lane in the south of the city, I believe you are familiar with that place. The woman said with a deep look in her eyes.

Looking at her gaze, Chen Yunsheng nodded and said, "I will definitely visit your master, but only when I am free." ”

The petite woman sneered and said, "It's worthy of being thoughtful." I'm afraid that my master will secretly set up an ambush and trick you into a trap. You can go whenever you want. My errand is done, and I will not be accompanied. ”

With that, the woman gradually melted into the flower tree and disappeared, leaving only a fragrance that did not belong to this courtyard. Chen Yunsheng's original good mood was broken, and he became a little depressed, he turned his head to see Wei Chixue with the same calm face, and suddenly remembered what the woman said just now, so he asked with a dark face, "Is what she said true?"

Yu Chixue nodded disdainfully: "So what?"

"It seems to me that there are only two states of human beings, dead and alive, and if they are dead, why would you do these things? Chen Yunsheng expressed his opinion bluntly, for people like Yu Chixue, any detour is superfluous.
