When she came back to her senses, the female assassin realized that it was Wanyan Qingqian who was sitting next to Zhuge Chen, her master. She immediately knelt on the ground and said grovelly, "Lord Wang...... Why are you here?"

"What's your name?" asked Wan Yan Qingqian.

"Back to the prince, as an assassin of the imperial court, his subordinates were deprived of their lives since they were children, and they were called by the code name 'Crow'. The female assassin spoke, "The prince just gives an order, even if he knows that he can't stop this white-clothed sword cultivator, even if I die here, I won't take half a step back!"

Zhuge Chen smiled and looked at the master and servant in front of him, for him, the scenes on the stage that had been carefully choreographed and then rehearsed hundreds of times were far less interesting than a farce that was staged in front of him. An assassin, a prince, if he were not in the middle hall, I am afraid that the current situation is that Wanyan Qingqian does not care about female assassins. However, now, because of the actions of the talented female assassin, Wan Yan Qingqian must feel that his subordinate occupies an unusual position in Zhuge Chen's heart. When one person gains the Tao, the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven with it, not to mention the confidante. It is precisely because of this suspicion between the two sides that Zhuge Chen can quietly appreciate what will happen next.

As for Bai Yi's opening, it was just a whim to negotiate with Wan Yan Qing for the life of the female assassin. He really didn't want to take the life of the female assassin personally, but if the other party hadn't eaten here and now with the flying sword, whether to stay by Zhuge Chen's side and live, or return to Wanyan Qingqian to die, how could he have anything to do with him?

At this moment, Wan Yan Qingqian's palms were already wet with sweat, and he didn't know what the purpose of all this was that Bai Yi showed him in front of him, so with a hearty laugh, Wan Yan Qingqian got up from the chair, bent down to help the female assassin up, and said: "Crow, right? What are you talking about, I hit it off at first sight with this white-clothed sword fairy, and you are the person he values, so you don't have to deliberately remember the courtesy of the monarch and the minister in the future." Since I am the prince of our Yunmeng, even if I am not as good as the Sword Immortal, it is more than enough for you to get out of the assassin's origin. From now on, you don't have to be an errand boy in the imperial court, and you can continue to be an assassin of life and death. ”

When the female assassin heard this, she didn't know what to say for a while. Among these assassins, it is easy to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, but if he is dismissed by the imperial court, it will be the end of the death of a cunning rabbit. Knowing something that shouldn't be known, or becoming a thorn in the side of a minister in the court, can't escape this fate. It can be said that the assassins of the imperial court have always lost their identity as assassins before they were squeezed out of the last trace of value left, and it was like carving the word "death" on their faces.

And Wanyan Qingqian, the prince, is even more notoriously ruthless. Because he was in charge of the small list of assassins in the imperial court, he could dispatch these assassins at will, so many things would eventually be handed over to these dishonorable people. If things are done perfectly, it is naturally rewarded, and it is common for officials to be promoted to three levels and more than double their income. But if there is a small mistake, it will be discarded as a pawn.

That's why the female assassin at this time is so frightened, even if she is an assassin, but when she is really facing a life-and-death situation, who can be downcast?

"Lord Wang, can your subordinates ask more, have your subordinates done anything wrong? at least let your subordinates be a ghost!" the female assassin asked with a calm face, trying her best to suppress the fear in her heart.

After hearing this, Yan Qingqian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You haven't done anything wrong? The Sword Immortal has already spoken, how dare I keep you? From today on, you will follow the Sword Immortal and serve him well! If you really want to return to the court and worry about your position as an assassin, of course it is not a problem. Yu Lu will give it to you, and the official will be promoted to the third level, are you so satisfied?"

Zhuge Chen was on the side, and suddenly smiled mysteriously.

Wan Yan Qingqian immediately changed his words and said: "Since they have already followed the Sword Immortal, no matter what kind of assassin position they are, I'm afraid it will not be enough." It's okay to be promoted and get rich, and being by the side of the sword fairy is the most important thing. ”

The female assassin was stupid on the spot, from beginning to end, she had been an assassin since she was a child, until she lost her identity as an assassin of the imperial court, and the extremely simple woman did not know what was happening. With her thoughts, at best, she could only guess that the reason for all this was Zhuge Chen's body, and this was because of the sword immortal who finished Yan Qingqian one by one. Otherwise, she would have pinched her cheek to make sure she was in a dream.

Then Zhuge Chen didn't feel embarrassed anymore, but generously watched the other party leave cautiously with three pauses. After all, now is not the time to tear up the skin with the Yunmeng Imperial Family, after all, the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger in the Yunmeng Imperial City also has a academy master in charge. Even if he beheaded three vicious dogs with a sword in an extralegal place and made a meritorious contribution, he could kill the only prince in a dynasty, and there was no way to do anything good about this matter. It's better to tease each other, not only to relieve the evil anger in your heart, but also to watch a big show in vain. And it will also plant a deep fear of themselves in the other party's heart, and for Zhuge Chen, who is now in the realm of pseudo-bamboo baskets, and wants to take the Tao of others to go further, it is tantamount to the best of both worlds.

It is expected that Yan Qingqian will not be able to give up, after all, he is used to being noble, and he is forced to put down his body by chance, and he must be full of anger. However, as long as Zhuge Chen did not die, he would never dare to make a move against the rich businessmen. And the former wife of the rich businessman's younger brother, with the means of finishing the face, he will never leave this hidden danger by his side. There is no need for Zhuge Chen to make a move, just a word, and every few days there will be an unrecognizable corpse in the wilderness outside Gangyang City. In this way, although the rich businessman is not a big revenge, it is already quite good. After all, no matter how rich the family is, in the face of a prince, it is still at the mercy of others.

In the rich businessman's thousand thanks, Zhuge Chen smiled and asked the other party not to do this, he was just collecting money to do things, saying this, and took out the jade pendant from the mustard seed and threw it into the sky and then took it in his hand: "The jade pendant is a good thing, I like it very much." So rich businessman, you don't have to feel that you owe me too much, I am happy if I can't buy it with my daughter, that's the truth. ”

"If there's a chance to revisit, I'll come to see you and the driver. With that, Zhuge Chen, who had left these words, got up and left the middle hall, and behind him, he followed the female assassin named Crow every step of the way.

Walking out of the rich merchants, Zhuge Chen patted the wine jug in his hand, and after finding that there was no wine left, he stomped his feet and said with some regret: "I knew that I would order wine from the rich merchants and then come out, but now it's okay, I have to spend my own money." ”

Raven said coldly, "Then why don't you turn back now?"

"How can there be a ...... who can revisit the old place so quickly" Zhuge Chen hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Besides, I am a person who cares about face." Walking the rivers and lakes, the most taboo is that words and deeds are inconsistent, and there is no credibility. But it's true that I'm shy, so what's the matter?"

As he spoke, Bai Yi looked at the crow, and his smiling appearance made the experienced female assassin feel uncomfortable, so he had to take the wine jug in Zhuge Chen's hand after shivering and said: "A sword immortal, you can't take out this money? ”

"That meal is not enough, no matter what, you need a meal. Zhuge Chen walked in front and spoke.

......

The wine jug was full, Zhuge Chen held it in the palm of his hand, looking at the delicacies on the table, looking like his saliva was about to flow out. The crow only thought that the moody white clothes were acting coyly, and didn't care, picked up the chopsticks and ate them. Zhuge Chen called the shopkeeper and asked for two pots of wine, one for each person, and began to feast.

The crow raised his head, pointed to the wine jug that Zhuge Chen had just hung on his waist, and asked curiously, "Isn't there already wine, and more?"

"Anyway, it's not me who spends money, naturally the more the merrier. Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that you don't look like you're rich, I'm afraid I would have been clamoring to count the accounts of the entire restaurant on your head." ”

"It's hard to imagine that someone like you, at such a young age, could be in that realm. The crow shook his head slightly, and said helplessly, "We assassins have been training brutally since we were young. At the age of ten, everyone was required to kill a thirty-year-old man alone in order to pass the test. The loser is thrown into a tiger cage, and life and death depend on life. At the age of fifteen, you need to be among the heavenly products, and at the age of twenty, you need to be a grandmaster. As for the age of thirty, it has to be the realm of good luck. Compared to you, I'm naturally nothing, but among the assassins, I'm not too big or small, and I can be called a genius. Now that he is about to enter the Mandate of Heaven, just looking at the killing power, if he takes the lead, even if he is an ordinary cultivator who has stabilized his Heavenly Mandate Realm, he is not an opponent. What about you?"

Zhuge Chen sandwiched a piece of meat and put it in the bowl, looked at the other party after taking a sip of wine, and said casually: "You guess?"

"Everyone else says that sword cultivation doesn't look at the realm but at the killing power, I guess your killing power should also reach the peak of the Mandate of Heaven!"

Seeing that Bai Yi shook her head, she continued: "That is the Bamboo Basket Water Realm, of course, it is not the Bamboo Basket Water Realm in the mouth of Yunmeng cultivators. Isn't it the equivalent of having a wonderful body?"

"Before this prince came to Gangyang City, he beheaded a holy spirit who was about to be in the pseudo-holy realm. It was a bit opportunistic, but it was at my hands. Zhuge Chen said these shocking words with a smile, then looked at the crow, and said word by word: "The Yunmeng royal family has ruined your talent, if you start to practice swords, now you have to be half a small realm higher than now, and the same is true for the killing power." Do you regret it? If I had to say anything, it would be regretful. Of course, just because you have a good talent doesn't mean you will be able to climb high and look far on the path of cultivation. Your limit is nothing more than the realm of the Highest Dao. ”

"That's enough. The crow opened his mouth and said, "What do you need me to do, worship you as a teacher?"

Zhuge Chen smiled and waved his hand, and then said: "What age is it, where do you still need to talk about the apprenticeship? I will teach you to practice swords, and I will teach you to practice swords, but I have never had the luxury of getting anything from you." This is the first lesson that you need to learn as a sword cultivator, but as long as you are a good seedling, have a righteous heart, and have no harmful intentions, you don't need to think about it, just pull into the sword cultivation camp. This is one of the reasons why in the heavens, sword cultivation can transcend things. Where is it necessary to pay attention to a teacher like the three teachings, in my opinion, there is no need for this. You just need to tell me if you want to learn it. ”

While speaking, Zhuge Chen ate the sauced beef on the plate. The second shopkeeper hit his elbow because he was in too much of a hurry, and as a result, not only did the large piece of meat fall to the ground, but the chopsticks in his hand also poked directly in Bai Yi's face. Fortunately, Zhuge Chen is a cultivator, if he is a mortal, his strength is so great that he may even pierce his cheeks. But Zhuge Chen was an actor who could act, and when he covered his side face, he began to moan, as if he was in pain. The shopkeeper hurriedly apologized, and almost knelt down after saying goodbye.

"Objective, do you have something to do? Why don't I pay for it, please go to the medical hall next to the restaurant?" said the shopkeeper, although he felt sorry for the silver, he still had to hide his gnashing teeth.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Chen said empathetically: "Go to the medical hall, don't you let the shopkeeper break the bank?" You only need to serve a plate of meat." ”

The shopkeeper, who thought he was cheap, said yes, and after giving the dishes in his hand to the guests, he ran back to the back kitchen as if he was afraid that Zhuge Chen would regret it.

The crow glanced at Zhuge Chen, whose eyes were flying, and couldn't help laughing: "You are a sword immortal, you like to take advantage of these people in the market so much?"

"What is it called Sword Immortal, how cheesy!" said this, but the white clothes were still dancing with their eyebrows. But the next moment, he said with a straight face: "Just now, if I were a mortal, I would have to spend two taels of silver to go to the hospital, and this matter is not over." When encountering a difficult master, he may have to fight the lawsuit to the yamen, and this time he will not only have to lose all his family, but more importantly, he is likely to be driven away by the restaurant shopkeeper. If he doesn't care about it, he has more heart, after all, in today's world, it is difficult for good people to do, and good things have to be carefully considered. ”

Crows are also people who have endured hardships, and she knows in her heart that she has suffered a lot of sins, and it is difficult for her to understand such a truth. However, if you follow the advice of your elders and just say it yourself as a message, it does not have such a mellow meaning. However, the white cloth in front of her was a sword immortal, and she should have been the pride of the sky since she was a child, how could she suffer?

"I'm done. Zhuge Chen clapped his hands and stood up, and was about to walk to the table next to him. Listening to stories and interjecting is something that Bai Yi often does. As a relief from boredom, every time it can make him feel worthwhile. All of this also made him, a young sword immortal in the eyes of others, more than a little more pyrotechnic: "When the shopkeeper comes over, you will ask him to pack the meat on the plate." I'll go over there and have a look, and I'll go with me to the City Lord's Mansion later. ”

Saying this, Zhuge Chen sat down beside a stranger with his sleeves fluttering. The other party glanced at him, probably judging from his clothes, he was not good to provoke, and he didn't say anything. Throughout the afternoon, Zhuge Chen didn't care about what he hadn't heard of, he just followed his happiness and said some inconsequential words, which naturally gained a lot of white eyes.

Out of the restaurant, Zhuge Chen walked in front of the crow, clasped his hands in front of his chest, stopped three times at a time, looked curiously at the small vendors on both sides of the road, and kept muttering: "If you want to see Yang Qianqiu's father, what should you bring? It's cheap, it always looks like we're slamming the door. Raven, can you tell me what to buy as a gift?"

Raven shook his head, as if to say that I am an assassin, how can I understand the sophistication of these people?

"As a sword cultivator, there is no mistake outside of the transcendent red dust, but if you live in the sky for a long time and refuse to look at the world, you are very wrong. Zhuge Chen said leisurely: "I know a senior who has a very high realm, which can be described as higher than the sky. But when walking on the street, he can still talk to others, and he never respects others because of his own realm. ”

Just as the crow pondered the flavor of the words, Bai Yi had already run away, and sat on the chair in front of a blind old man in the corner, listening to the other party's story, and relishing it. It's just that looking at the deserted appearance over there, the blind old man's business doesn't seem to be very good, and there are not a few copper coins in the bowl in front of him, which is already missing, I'm afraid that to buy a steamed bun, the stall owner will have to deliberately pick a small one for him.

The blind old man held the three strings in his arms, and he played weakly, so the sound was not loud, and he could only hear it when he was near. It is only when the storytelling is so passionate and generous that it will work hard. After all, when you are old, where can you compare to the vitality of young people?

The blind old man's book is really good, and Zhuge Chen is very focused. When the song is played, the book is at the end, which is the storyteller's common "Let's listen to the next decomposition", and then the blind old man stretched out his withered yellow fingers and motioned to the people around him to reward a few dollars.

Zhuge Chen smiled and said, "Old man, come again, this is not yet fun, the bag containing money can't be opened." ”

"Could it be that the naughty child of which family came to lie to the book and listen?" The blind old man also laughed: "It doesn't matter, it's good that someone can come to listen to the book." What you earn in a day, buy a steamed bun and half a glass of wine, is it not the same to fill your stomach?"

"The old man doesn't eat much, but the book is really good. This sentence, Zhuge Chen said from the bottom of his heart.

"You doll, you can talk. After a set poem, the blind old man continued to tell the story, while Zhuge Chen pulled the crow next to him, and told her in his heart that when he saw himself applauding, whether he understood it or not, just follow along.

After about two or three incense sticks, it was another period of end, and Zhuge Chen still looked unfinished. When he returned from the book, he smiled and said, "The old man's book is so good, it's really a pity in this busy city." I didn't go into a tavern to negotiate a deal with the shopkeeper, even if it was just for food and lodging. ”

The blind old man shook his head slightly and said, "In my own words, it doesn't matter if it's so natural, but there is a granddaughter in the family who is too young, and she has to wait for me to earn money to eat! When you are old, you are old, and this waste energy has never changed. ”

Zhuge Chen's face showed a sad look, and this feeling of powerlessness resonated with him for some reason. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the small town he once was, barely surviving on his uncle's steamed buns.

Zhuge Chen is rich, not just wealthy. But even if he gets a dime a die from it, it is certainly not a good thing for the blind old man. The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

Just when Zhuge Chen was in a rare dilemma, a group of people came over from the corner of the street, not wearing shirts, but hanging them on their bodies, and walked over with a wicked smile. The man at the head glanced at Zhuge Chen and the crow, and then kicked the broken bowl in front of the blind old man to the ground, laughed and said, "Old man, didn't the brothers tell you? Don't you beg for a living here in the future." I can't even get the money together, and I dare to go to the street to beg for a beating? Finally, if you can't hand over the one or two pieces of silver you owe today, you know the consequences. ”

The blind old man shrank up and said cautiously: "Don't worry, before today, you will definitely be able to get together the money!"

"What are you looking at, kid, are you looking for a draw?" One of them's gaze happened to collide with Zhuge Chen, and the wooden stick in his hand was pressed against Zhuge Chen's head.

Beside him, the crow wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Zhuge Chen with a voice in his heart. Since the other party dares to be so arrogant, he must be born in the forces with a head and a face in Gangyang City. Maybe these elders are still on errands in the City Lord's Mansion. If Zhuge Chen makes a move, it will definitely be a big killing. The consequence of this is, of course, the blind old man who is in the end.

With a spit of spit, the man with the stick followed the ruffians and went away.

And Zhuge Chen blocked it with his sword qi, and sent a full ten taels of silver to the blind old man, and said: "Old man, even if this is your reward for telling me, don't be too little, there is only so much broken silver left." ”

Stroking the broken silver, the blind old man wanted to cry without tears, if it weren't for Zhuge Chen's support, he would have knelt on the ground: "Thank you, thank you, son, ......"

The blind old man said intermittently.

Just as Zhuge Chen was about to get up and leave, he saw that the gang of ruffians actually appeared on the corner of the street, and one of them said with a smile: "Old man, I have seen your granddaughter, she looks really smart. Instead of cheapening others, it is better to go to that good life with my brothers, and I will definitely not be able to treat her badly. You don't have to pay back the silver you have. ”

When the blind old man heard this, he stood up and stumbled after him. Listening to the cry of the blind old man, the crow couldn't bear it in his heart, and turned his head slightly. And beside her, Zhuge Chen had already moved, and said through gritted teeth: "One counts as one, Lao Tzu killed this gang of miscellaneous pieces today, and it is not easy for Emperor Yunmeng to come and kneel down to plead in person!"
