Chapter 15: The Origins of the Assassination
Under the faint light of the fire, a human face with open eyes hung on the wall of the corridor. Zhou Yuan pretended not to see it, craned his neck and quietly glanced in the direction of the person's face, and found that the eyes of the person's face seemed to be facing him.
Xu Jie's heart "chuckled", his shoulders fluttered lightly, he raised his hand and touched his shoulder, it was fluffy, and the black cat was still there.
"Division...... Senior brother, you, you, have you seen it?" Zhou Yuan asked the black cat on his shoulder with a trembling voice, "That thing hanging on the wall...... What is that, exactly?"
Zhou Yuan asked as he unconsciously stepped back.
It was indeed a human face, with a goose egg face, no hair, and it looked like the face of a woman in her twenties.
But Zhou Yuan didn't ask knowingly, most people would think that they were hallucinating when they encountered this strange scene for the first time, so they were eager to ask their peers for verification and psychological comfort.
The black cat didn't react, but the human face was a ruffling of eyes, making a smirk expression and glaring at Zhou Yuan, a pair of eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and the silent smirk made people feel that she would crawl out of the wall at any time and pounce on Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan's hand on the shoulder had unconsciously increased his strength because of nervousness, and under this grasp, he didn't touch the bones, and the black cat didn't scream in pain, and it seemed that there was only a piece of fur in his hand, and the black cat seemed to be gone!
Zhou Yuan grabbed the thing on his shoulder and pulled it down to take a look, and there was only a complete and soft cat skin in his hand! No flesh, no bones, two hollow holes in the eye sockets!
Zhou Yuan felt a tingling of his scalp, and the fear of the unknown instantly spread all over his body, and he shouted uncontrollably:
"Ahh
Turn around and run as hard as you can in the direction you came!
And deep in the narrow and dark corridor behind him, there was also the sound of slow but heavy footsteps at this time.
On the ground, Su Changfa and Jin Shiyi were still drinking wine leisurely, and Zhou Yuan's mournful cry was not conveyed to the ground.
"So", Jin Shiyi continued to say to Su Changfa: "His Royal Highness the Prince of my family and Tang Shu of their Tang Sect, the two of them are quite good friends, they and your little apprentice are generally old, and they are actually two children who have not grown up."
The two children were annoyed for a while when they played together, and they were angry but had a fight, which was normal. The main reason is that our little family has never beaten anyone, and I can't swallow this breath in my heart - their Tang Sect is a martial arts family, to be precise, it is an assassination family, I have seen their martial arts, and even their fists and feet have no false tricks, they are all rushing to kill people, and then what about ......"
Jin Shiyi put his hand to his eyes, as if he had thought of something funny.
"That is to say, it is not surprising that my family can't beat the third son of the Tang family, and after a few days after the fight, everyone's popularity will disappear, but the kid of the Tang family has to pretend to be 13, and he pressed our family to the ground and beat him without saying anything, and he left a sentence when he was overββ"
"What did he say?" Su Changfa couldn't help but ask.
"He said, 'If it weren't for the mercy of my men, you would have died sixteen times in this moment,' and it is said that he spat on the ground or on my little son, which I heard casually from the prince's guard.
Then our good man is also a son of the world, how could he have suffered such a grievance? When he returned to the palace and ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses, he was about to go to the Tang Gate, but the king of Beiliang personally stopped him, saying that he didn't know anything, and hung in the backyard and whipped twenty lashes - this account naturally fell on Tang Shu's head, so there was such a thing. β
"Oh, I see. Su Changfa nodded lightly and said.
"Isn't that the case," Old Man Jin spread his hands, "Originally, His Royal Highness the Prince hired assassins, and King Beiliang didn't pay attention to it, because it was not reliable at all."
In terms of assassinating the Tang Sect, it is considered the ancestor master, the status of the alma mater, the entire industry is made by others, who would dare to touch this moldy head of a serious assassin?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Su Changfa lowered his head and reluctantly agreed.
"After looking for more than half a month, no one dared to take this job, and the anger of the prince was almost gone, seeing that this plan was put on hold, but at this time you appeared. β
Jin Shiyi's eyes looked directly at Su Changfa, and the corners of his mouth showed a playful smile, and Su Changfa looked at him left and right.
"I investigated you," Jin Shiyi continued, "As a result, there is no such person as you in the rivers and lakes, and I thought you were just a stunned young man who saw money." Later, I found out that you were in Chang'an, and you also set up a club?"
"Sect, sect! Don't say it's small, it's still in the entrepreneurial stage, and it's still recruiting, why don't you go sit another day?"
"No, no, I'm old, I can't stand the damp environment in the basement. Jin Shiyi waved his hand and said, "This is why I pay attention to you again, your society...... In the sect, there is actually a scholar of Wenjian and martial arts, Wang Dong?"
"I was planning to send someone over and kill you. Jin Shiyi poured another pot of tobacco into his big cigarette pouch, raised his head and continued: "No matter if you succeed or not, you can't be allowed to go to Tangmen to make trouble in the name of Beiliang Palace." β
"But later, I still think I should come to meet you in person, and I won't joke with my life anymore, I'm worried that you are really capable. β
"Isn't it good to have the ability?"
"The more capable you are, the bigger the trouble!"
Jin Shiyi exhaled and nodded with a slight palpitation, "Fortunately, I came." β
"If I don't come", Jin Shiyi approached Su Changfa and almost face-to-face with him, "You will really kill the Tang Sect and take the life of the third son of the Tang family?"
"It depends on the mood"
Su Changfa replied nonchalantly: "If that kid is really a bad person, I don't mind getting rid of him." β
"Don't you think about the consequences of what you do?" Jin Shiyi said nervously: "A foreign vassal king who holds military power directly sent someone to assassinate the successor of the Gate Sect in the hinterland of the Central Plains without going through the imperial court, and this sect is also inextricably linked with the imperial court - if such a thing really happens, then how many people will use this reason to make a fuss, if someone deliberately operates, it is not impossible for Beiliang and the imperial court to break up and start a war!"
"Hehehe", Su Changfa's body trembled slightly, and he let out a chuckle.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Jin Shiyi blankly.
"Nothing, just thought of something funny. The smile on the corner of Su Changfa's mouth became stronger and stronger, and Jin Shiyi was afraid that he would be ridiculed.
"What's funny?" asked Jin Shiyi.
"I heard that", Su Chang steadied his breath and stabilized the shaking of his body, "Their Tang Sect has an official position in the imperial court that is hereditary, and they are the imperial doctor, and they are responsible for - hahaha - responsible for the evaluation of Heding Hong!"
"What's so funny about this?" Although Jin Shiyi said this, he couldn't help but laugh under Su Changfa's infection, "Their Tang Sect's breathing method is to be able to temporarily store poison in the meridians, don't you know?"
"I know, I know", Su Changfa covered the smile on his mouth with his left hand, and handed his right hand to Jin Shiyi, "It's just that I only found out later." β
Jin Shiyi looked down at the hand that was handed over, "You ...... What do you mean by giving me your hand?"
"I've heard that Taoist priests know a little bit of medical skills, can you help me take the pulse, how many years can I live?"
This little favor can still be helped, Jin Shiyi closed his eyes slightly, and gently put his two fingers on Su Changfa's pulse.
"Huh?!"
As soon as he got his hands on him, Jin Shiyi was immediately shocked by this disordered pulse.
"Dr. Kim, how many years do I have to live?"
Jin Shiyi looked at Su Changfa and gasped, "Your pulse is a sign of a great collapse, this is not a matter of living for a few years at all, just this kind of pulse, ordinary people have already died violently!"
"Can you live for a year?"
"Hanging. β
"That's not it. Su Chang laughed and said: "A person who is about to die, what consequences do you think about when you do things." β
Jin Shiyi's brows furrowed when he heard this, "Could it be that you have to go to Tangmen?"
"Exactly, but I can promise you that you won't do anything to Tang Shu. Su Changfa said.
"That's not good, many people already know about Xiao Shizi's hiring of murderers, and nothing can happen to the Tang Sect in the past few months!"
"Hey, you're still unreasonable. β
Su Changfa was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground, but when he heard Jin Shiyi say this, he immediately stood up: "I have something to do when I go to Tangmen, and I have to go to Tangmen for this private job or not, is it possible that you have to stop this?"
Jin Shiyi looked at Su Changfa suspiciously, "If you go to Tangmen, should you go to the gym?"
Su Changfa shook his head again and again, "Do you believe me when I said that I went to Tangmen for medical treatment?"
"Tangmen doesn't have a doctor, and it's ......", Jin Shiyi said embarrassedly: "I think your pulse is not cured, and it is better to have this time to fulfill your unfulfilled wishes." β
Su Changfa looked at Jin Shiyi and said word by word: "Going to Tangmen is my unfulfilled wish." β
