Under the bright moonlight, it was a dirty conspiracy.

Jiang Ping bowed slightly, and the night owl-like old man stood in front of him, revealing a sinister smile.

"In three days, there will be a riot in the Tongshan Mine, and when the Third Elder Lin Shuxiang rushes to quell the chaos, all you have to do is to put this into his meal. ”

The old man took out a gray pill.

Jiang Ping narrowed his eyes and took the pill:

"I see. ”

He didn't ask what kind of medicine it was, nor did he ask if the Third Elder would die.

Because all he has to do is obedience.

As an upstart in the back kitchen, his reputation has long been spread to the top of Qingyun, and the protection of the cheap second uncle for him has long been gone.

In the past few days, it happened that the three elders had named him to eat the food he cooked.

For the time being, only the little servant and him who came to pass the word from the three elders knew about it, but the old man seemed to have heard it with his own ears.

Also, why is there a riot, why is there a rebellion, why the chaos must be put down by the three elders, everything seems to be controlled by an invisible hand.

The network woven by the Night Rain Building in the Qingyun Gate made Jiang Ping feel suffocated.

But at this moment, he couldn't resist.

"You did a great job in the previous mission, and I hope you don't let me down this time. ”

The old man paused and gave a word of encouragement.

Jiang Ping bowed slightly: "I will not disappoint my superiors." ”

"Good. ”

This time, Jiang Ping finally saw clearly how the old man disappeared in front of him.

Under the night sky, the old man was like a big bat, and when he spread his wings, he became a small black dot, far away.

Jiang Ping looked into the distance, his fingers twisted the pill, rubbing it gently, feeling the rough texture, and his eyes were slightly hollow.

It's been more than half a year since I came to Qingyunmen.

He conscientiously completed the task assigned to him by Yeyulou, sold all the information up and down Qingyunmen, seized the opportunity, and entered the kitchen.

But all this is a little different from now.

No matter what Yeyulou did with his information, it had nothing to do with him, because even if he didn't say it, Yeyulou would know it clearly.

But now, he is asking him to personally participate in the assassination of a person he has never known.

If he is still a player, he will not have the slightest psychological burden, NPC is just an NPC, whether it is life or death, it is just a piece of data.

On the contrary, the rewards for completing the tasks made him even more excited.

But he is no longer a player, these are all living people around him, flesh and blood people, they will cry and laugh, have their own joys, sorrows, loves and hatreds, how can it be regarded as just a piece of data.

Jiang Ping sometimes feels that he is hypocritical, but he always can't avoid thinking about it, which is probably empathy.

The three elders who don't know each other, how to choose the night rain building that is pinching their own lives?

Jiang Ping fell into insomnia this night.

......

Five days later.

"Someone, someone!"

A group of Qingyun disciples with long swords stained with blood carried a stretcher and ran into the mountain gate in a panic.

A tall, bearded old man with a dragon and a tiger walked out with a group of people, looked at the panicked disciples, and asked in a deep voice:

"What's going on, noisy?"

"Tell Elder Xu, it's the third elder, and the third elder is dying!"

A disciple knelt on one knee and raised his head, his eyes red, as if he was holding back his grief.

"Huh?"

This bearded old man was none other than Xu You, the Great Elder of the Outer Gate of Qingyun Gate, and he noticed that the unconscious person on the stretcher was not the Third Elder who went to the Tongshan Mine two days ago to quell the chaos.

"How can this be? The injuries of the three elders ......"

Xu You probed the pulse of the three elders, he was weak and weak, and it seemed that it would be interrupted at any time, and there was also a restless internal qi that was constantly surging around, impacting the meridians.

"Hurry up and send it to Divine Doctor Qin, you come with me and tell me what the hell is going on?"

A group of people hurriedly responded to the order, and then carried the three elders to the back mountain to find Divine Doctor Qin, and the disciple who had just been told was left behind by Xu You.

"Let's talk about it, the miners in the Tongshan Mine are just a group of mud legs who can't even eat, how can they hurt the three elders of the Eight Rank Martial Artists like this?"

In the living room, Xu You frowned, and the whole person seemed not angry but mighty.

The disciple was silent for a moment, as if recalling and organizing the language, before replying:

"On that day, the disciples went to the Tongshan Mine with the three elders, and we blocked the exit, killed a few of the leading men, starved them for two more days, and then gave them a little benefit, and the riot quickly subsided.

Then the three elders left some of their disciples to act as overseers, and they planned to take us back to the mountain, but we encountered a group of bandits blocking the way halfway through......"

"Wait a minute, in Qingyun Territory, who doesn't know the banner of my Qingyun Gate, which bandit dares to be so bold?"

"The disciples didn't know, and the three elders also said that they were very raw, and they might have come from the outside world.

At that time, the three elders reported the name of Qingyun, but the group of people laughed loudly, saying that they had never heard of Qingyunmen, and asked us to leave the goods.

Of course, the three elders refused to give in, so they led us to fight with the group of bandits.

Originally, we had the upper hand, and the three elders pressed the bandit to fight first.

When he was about to win, he didn't know why the three elders seemed to be unable to continue, and they were actually slashed by the bandit leader.

The three elders were defeated.

Fortunately, he made a quick decision and told us to drop the cargo and retreat directly.

But even so, the group of bandits did not let go, and pursued and killed twenty miles, and half of our brothers and sisters were lost in the past. ”

The disciple who said the prayer seemed to think of the sacrificed senior brothers, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

No matter how they usually fight, but in the end, they are brothers who practice martial arts together and learn together, and now they have been taken for no reason, and they don't even know who the enemy is, which makes people feel aggrieved.

Although Xu You was also heartbroken by his disciple's loss, he wanted to confirm one more thing:

"You brought the goods with you when you came back, what kind of goods, is it the silver from the mines?"

Although the Tongshan Mine is named Tongshan, it is actually a silver mine, which is secretly occupied by Qingyunmen, and is also an important financial source for Qingyunmen.

The disciple nodded hesitantly: "Yes...... Yes. ”

"How much?"

Xu You felt that the injuries of the three elders were gone.

"There are three months of output, about 50,000 taels. ”

"How can there be so many?"

"Because of the riots, the silver of the first two months was not transported away, and this month's money was ......."

"Damn the bandits!"

Xu You stomped his foot violently, his strength leaked, and the fine marble floor cracked directly, and he was stepped on a fist-sized hole.

"Where did those thieves stop you, and how many hours have it been?"

Xu You considered a remedy.

The silver must be snatched back, next year is the centennial of Qingyunmen's birth, which is related to the development of Qingyunmen in the next ten years, and at such an important time, this 50,000 taels of silver is particularly important.

"It's in Langya Ridge, we don't dare to stop halfway, we run all the way back, and about three hours have passed since now. ”

Xu You nodded: "I know, you go down first to heal your injuries." ”

"The disciple obeyed. ”

The disciple hesitated for a moment, then said:

"If the elders find the traces of that group of bandits, the disciples are willing to take the lead to avenge the great revenge of the senior brothers!"

"You have a heart, but the injury is serious, you go down first. ”

Only then did the disciple retire.

Xu You wandered left and right for a while, and it was best to grit his teeth and stomp his feet and walk in the direction of Qingsong Garden.

The fact that the head of the Lao Sect personally took action could only show the incompetence of him, the Great Elder of the Outer Gate.

But 50,000 taels of silver is too important, and it is the safest to have a hand in charge.
