Chapter 172: The rivers and lakes are too small

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "Girl, it's clear that you scared me, okay? After that day, I was so scared that I didn't sleep well for several days, for fear that one day I would never be able to open my eyes again." ”

The woman in purple said, "You don't have to put gold on your face, my target that night was not you at all, but Yuwenshuang, you are just an additive." ”

Xiao Jinyan was quite speechless, "So, I should be grateful, why can't I be happy?"

Xiao Jinyan felt strange how the number one assassin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the dignified arrow boy, could come to the door at this juncture, but looking at the way she spoke, it didn't seem like she had malicious intentions, so she asked, "Girl, you haven't answered my question yet." ”

The woman in purple said, "As the saying goes, no profit is too early, I came to you to talk to you about a business." ”

"What business?"

"Someone spent a lot of money and asked me to take the life of your friend Li Chengcheng, I was thinking, after Li Gongzi is a famous family, the family should be very rich, will the conditions on your side be better?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "You are violating the spirit of the contract like this!"

The woman in purple smiled, "Who would have trouble with money?"

Xiao Jinyan asked again, "Then I have to know, who wants Li Chengcheng's life, right?"

"I can't tell you. ”

"Why?"

"I'm an Assassin, so I have to keep the spirit of the contract. ”

Xiao Jinyan was speechless, this arrow boy was obviously quibbling, but he felt that it was very reasonable, he asked, "What conditions do you want?"

The woman in purple said: "Your trip to the hidden sun, thirty percent of the profit of the goods on the car." ”

Xiao Jinyan smiled slightly, "Just a few thousand taels of silver, I want to buy Li Tingcheng's life, I don't know if it's because the name Li Tingcheng is worthless, or because your business has been sluggish recently?"

"Not really. The woman said, "Because the bidder told me that the person I wanted to kill was called Tang Erbao, and didn't tell me his true identity, I usually don't take this kind of list, but I just happened to stop by and earn some pocket money." ”

Xiao Jinyan almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea.

He looked at the woman in purple, "This condition is very tempting, but you miscalculated one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Jinyan put down the teacup, locked the woman in purple with string force, secretly gathered her strength, and said slowly, "You are an assassin, if you hide in the shadows and steal cold arrows, maybe we can't do anything." But you blatantly came to the door, and you were a little too arrogant. ”

The woman in purple had no fear on her face, played with the teacup in her hand, and said lightly, "You can try it." ”

Alarm signs came suddenly.

Xiao Jinyan only felt a tremor in his heart, there were four arrows locked on him, he could feel the danger, but all the string force was extended, but he didn't sense the location of the archer hiding in the secret. He broke out in a cold sweat, the feeling was so strong that it seemed as if four arrows would come at him as long as he moved.

Could it be that this person is not the Arrow Boy, but just a stand-in for the Arrow Boy? I am just familiar with this feeling, and I take it for granted that this person is associated with the Arrow Boy?

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "Try anything, they are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, come, drink tea!"

The woman in purple said, "How did you think about this deal?"

"I'm afraid I can't be the master yet, why don't I go back and ask my friend and give you an answer, how about it?"

"I don't have time. ”

Xiao Jinyan gave a thumbs up, "The girl is really happy, this matter is so decided, but declare in advance, we don't have money now, and we will settle it for you after the goods are sold." ”

"Deal. ”

The woman in purple waved her hand, and the arrow around Xiao Jinyan was gone, and Xiao Jinyan suddenly felt a sudden decrease in pressure and breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up and took his leave.

After he left, a servant girl walked up to the woman in purple, "Young master, that kid is so arrogant, why don't you kill him?"

The woman in purple said, "Recently, our Divine Arrow Sect has made too many enemies in the rivers and lakes, there is no need to provoke Dengwen Academy, and it is very likely that he has the whereabouts of the Martial Arts, we have a relationship with him, maybe things will take a turn for the better." ”

She remembered that not long ago, she met a master of the rivers and lakes, and when she was seeking guidance, the person who pointed out that the person who broke the situation in the Divine Arrow Sect was among the three of Xiao Jinyan and his party, and it was because of this that she took the initiative to find Xiao Jinyan.

However, this achieved her goal, and a stone fell to the ground in her heart, and she sighed, "What an eventful season." The woman in purple drank the last cup of tea, paid the tea money, and left the tea shop with the maidservant.

Xiao Jinyan returned to the inn and told the two of them about meeting the arrow boy, Li Chengcheng said strangely, "The Divine Arrow Sect is extremely famous in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it has always been calm in its work, and it almost never misses, how can you take the initiative to come to the door to talk about business? The key is that you also agreed to their conditions!"

Xiao Jinyan said, "The world's number one archer is eyeing you and wants to take your life, I will save your life, not only are you grateful, but you also question my purpose, you are not kind." ”

Zhao Lanjiang sneered, "With my years of experience, I guess it's the one you think that chick is beautiful and takes the initiative to provoke." ”

Xiao Jinyan asked angrily, "Am I such a person?"

The two said in unison, "Yes." ”

Xiao Jinyan was speechless, "Just because I didn't ask." ”

......

After nightfall, three fast horses arrived at the gate of the sheep's head post. The three men on the horse, dressed in black cloaks, with dusty and tired faces, showed that they had traveled a long way.

Sheep's Head Station is just a small town, although there is no city wall, but there are wooden fences around it, on which there are thistles entangled, at night, there are also soldiers patrolling, unless there are martial arts masters, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter.

One of the men in black stepped forward and banged on the door, slamming the door.

A few gatekeepers were napping, slamming the door shocked the dream, one of them lost money in a gamble, and was angry with himself, got up and said, "What kind of shooting, running for funeral!"

The man in black said, "We have something important to do. ”

Bing Ding said, "When is it, something will come again at dawn, and the curfew will be there." Besides, now that the army is in chaos, if you spies in Xichu, who will be responsible for what happens?"

The man in black was furious when he heard this, and was about to make a move, but was stopped by a middle-aged man behind him, he drove his horse to the door, turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile, "I understand your rules, the official is capable of everything, there will always be a way, isn't it?"

This sentence fell in the ears of the soldiers, and it was very useful to hear it, thinking that he had lost three taels of silver in gambling tonight, and he might not be able to suffer from the stinky woman when he went back tomorrow, and these three people were just sent to the door, so he said, "The way is not nothing, but the blame for this matter is to blame, I'm afraid we will be responsible." ”

The middle-aged man smiled, "Then you can tell me a number." ”

Bing Ding said, "If you want to enter the city, everyone has to pay three taels of silver, the three of you get nine, and if the weather is good tonight, I will give you a discount, make up a whole number, ten taels of silver!"

The middle-aged man nodded, "Not much." ”

With that, he took out a crimson sign from his bosom and handed it over.

The soldier took it, and saw that it was not silver, but a piece of wood, and was about to scold, when he suddenly glanced at the sign, and the front side was painted with an eagle about to fly, and on the north side was written "Zhengxi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion" Six big characters, and he was suddenly shocked, his face was pale with fright, his knees were weak, and he fell to the ground.

"The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he doesn't know that the governor of the capital is there, and he collided with the adult, and please punish the adult!"

The middle-aged man smiled, "I'm just a subordinate in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion." Little brother, can we go in?"

Where does this soldier dare to stop him, the four-grade official in front of the prime minister, the biggest official in the entire sheep's head post is just Yang Yicheng from the ninth grade, from the officialdom, he is not in the stream at all, this middle-aged man seems to be peaceful, but if he is really angry, killing himself is like pinching an ant to death, and he hurriedly ordered people to move the horse barricade and kneel on the ground to send the three people into the post.

Entering the city, the man in black was puzzled, "Chief steward, with our identity, when we meet such a person who doesn't know how to lift, we will slaughter him with a knife, why be polite to him?"

Middle-aged humane, "When you go out, peace is precious, and compassion is cherished." Kill one less person, and win a seventh-level floating slaughter. This time, we are acting as people in the rivers and lakes, so why bother to provoke a right and wrong for the Metropolitan Governor?"

The man in black was silent when he heard this.

This kind of thing, as soon as the chief steward said this, and as soon as he heard it, he should have passed, and he didn't believe in the ghost theory of "harmony is precious, compassion is cherished".

He has only been in the Dadu Governor's Mansion for a short time, but from the ears of others, he knows that the kind-looking housekeeper Yu Wengui in front of him, when he slaughtered the city in Dingzhou twenty years ago, within two days, he led thirty people and slaughtered three streets, and the means were so ruthless that even Sun Wuxian could not reach him.

The man in black is called Yu Xiang, and the other is called Yu Yang, both of whom are the eighteen righteous sons of Yuwen Tianlu, who have been trained by Yuwen Tianlu in the mansion since childhood, and are considered his dead soldiers.

This time, Yu Xiang and Yu Yang followed Yuwen's housekeeper, and were ordered to come to the secret mission by the order of the Metropolitan Governor.

The three of them did not go to the post house, but to an inconspicuous mansion in the northwest corner of the town.

This is one of the private properties of the Yuwen family, like this private residence, there are hundreds of them in the whole world, mainly for the Yuwen family to collect intelligence, called "Bimu", Yuwen Gui as the big butler of the Yuwen family, is the founder of this "Bimu".

Everyone knows that after Yuwen Tianlu seized power in the Demon Sect, he established a laughing hall, but very few people know that he also has an organization called Bimu. Compared with Yixiaotang, "Bimu" is the descendant of Yuwen Tianlu.

Inside the mansion, the lights were bright, and in the lobby, there were already more than a dozen people waiting on the side, looking indifferent, as if they were like a group of sculptures, motionless, and when they saw Yuwen Gyu coming in, they all got up.

"Kanto Sword Chapter Jiushui has seen the big butler!"

"Xiangyang Nine Swords Qu is right and wrong, I've seen the big butler!"

"Fu Qingquan, the precept elder of the Huashan faction, has seen the great butler!"

Everyone gave salutes, these people have different identities, some are famous and decent, some are Jiangyang thieves, and some are unknown in the rivers and lakes, but without exception, they are all first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.

At this time, two people stood up in the crowd and said, "Mobei Twin Male Eagle and Male Yellow, I have seen the big housekeeper!"

Yuwen Gui frowned, "Why are you two here?"

......

Sheep's Head Station, a small town, suddenly poured into so many masters of the rivers and lakes.

In the ruined temple, an old man with a rosacea nose was drunk, and said leisurely, "The rivers and lakes here are too small to accommodate so many people, Dean Li, you owe me such a big favor, the jar of wine under the old locust tree, remember to share a sip with me in the future!"
