Chapter 117: A Wicked Man (3)
The sunset was as red as blood, staining the clouds in the sky and the city by the water.
At dusk, Fengzhou City began to become lively.
The flaming red lanterns, the high-hanging colored silk, the bustling bazaar, the boat boat, the song and swallow dance, and the teahouse on the stage all show the drunken gold fans who belong here.
Ten miles of prosperity, there are also deserted corners.
The red light is endless, and there are also places where the light can't reach.
In a dimly lit corner, a spacious carriage was parked, and three horses were snorting in place.
In the carriage, there were two people, two men.
A man's right hand is clenched into an iron fist, and a man's right hand holds a knife.
A knife is a good knife and a fast knife.
Although the iron fist is fast, it is not as fast as the sword.
Therefore, the man's iron fist was not swung, and he did not have a chance to swing it.
Who is this man with an iron fist?
No one knows his name, but Wu Ling likes to call him "Ah San", and people who know him seem to call him "Ah San".
What is Ah San doing here?
Of course, they came to kill the wicked.
But there are no wicked people here, only a man with a quick knife here.
This man is taller and stronger than Ah San, and one arm is twice the size of Ah San.
Ah San was not frightened by the man's thick arms, he didn't even look at the man's arms, Ah San's eyes could only see the sharp knife across his neck.
The snowy knife reflected a frightened face, and this frightened face was Ah San's.
Ah San didn't speak, and the man didn't speak, although the man didn't say a word from the beginning, Ah San still recognized the man.
This man is the famous swordsman, Lu Yan.
I heard that this person also has a nickname, called "Lu Sandao", which means that if this person wants to kill a person, he will draw the knife three times in total.
How can a swordsman, especially a powerful and famous swordsman, draw a knife three times if he wants to kill a person?
Because this person has a quirk, that is, before killing a person, he must first give this person two chances, if this person fails to escape with two chances, then when he draws the knife for the third time, this person will definitely die.
This kind of trick is actually not uncommon in the rivers and lakes.
When this kind of person kills, he is actually enjoying and enjoying the process.
It's like cat and mouse.
When a cat catches a mouse, it never eats it right away, but uses its claws to slowly play with the dead mouse before eating it in one bite.
Ah San didn't dare to act rashly now, because this was the second time Lu Yan had drawn his sword.
Although he had only fought once, Ah San was already very aware of Lu Yan's power, so he didn't want to see Lu Yan draw his sword for the third time now.
Although he didn't want Lu Yan to draw the knife a third time, Lu Yan would give him a second chance to escape sooner or later, because Lu Yan wanted to kill him.
However, before being killed, Ah San still had a chance to escape, and even if he knew that he might not be able to escape, he didn't want to lose this opportunity.
If you escape, you live, and if you can't, you die.
Ah San is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die here, let alone die now.
Lu Yan used this posture to threaten Ah San for a long time, and from noon to evening, he never moved.
It stands to reason that Lu Yan should release Ah San again, but judging from the current situation, it seems that he doesn't plan to let Ah San go for the time being, in other words, he doesn't plan to kill Ah San for the time being?
Until the curtain came down and the people who left came back again, Lu Yan didn't let go of Ah San again.
Ah San had already left a lot of cold sweat on his forehead, and he only now fully understood that Lu Yan had no intention of pulling out the knife three more times from the beginning.
This means that Lu Yan will not kill him.
If Lu Yan didn't kill him, it would mean that he wouldn't even have a second chance to escape.
The person who goes and returns is the real owner of this carriage, that is, the wicked man in Ah San's mouth.
At noon, he walked out with three people, and now, he is being carried back by three people.
These three people, like Lu Yan, are all famous Jianghu guests, and they are all skilled.
The one who is missing one ear is called Zhang Yuan, and he also has a strange nickname, called "Zhang Fair", because he has to talk about "fairness" in everything he does.
It is said that his ears were cut off by himself.
At that time, he was only eight years old, and because he was bullied by his peers, he cut off other people's ears, and then he cut off his own ears to pay for others.
At that time, he lifted his ear and said to the man who had his ear cut off, "If you bully me, I will cut off one of your ears, but if you cut off one of your ears, you will have one less ear from now on, and it is really unfair to you." So I'll cut off one of my ears now and pay you for it, and that's fair for you. β
From then on, no matter who bullied him, he would make the same injury on himself when he injured others, as a sign of compensation.
It wasn't until he killed a man again that he thought that he couldn't pay his life to the deceased, so he found one of the deceased's enemies and beat him to death, saying that he was giving the deceased a life-for-life compensation.
Since then, every time he beats or kills someone, he will first inquire whether the other party has an enemy and who the enemy is, and when he injures or kills this person, he will go to this person's enemy and make corresponding "fair compensation".
In this world, I am afraid that only this person will come up with such a "fair" algorithm.
Ah San is not willing to talk to this kind of person at all, but Zhang Yuan seems to be a person who likes to talk very much.
Because as soon as Zhang Yuan came up, he asked, "Are you very hot, why are you sweating profusely?"
Ah San ignored him.
Zhang Yuan looked at Ah San, who was pale, and asked again, "Are you so frightened that you sweat so much?"
Ah San will not answer this question even more.
Zhang Yuan saw that Ah San didn't speak, so he had to ask Lu Yan: "Are you scared of him?"
Lu snorted heavily.
Zhang Yuan asked again: "Why do you still keep this person?"
It means that Lu Yan should have killed Ah San earlier.
A drop of sweat fell from Ah San's forehead, and beads of sweat rolled down the fast knife to the tip of the knife, and then fell from the tip of the knife to Zhang Yuan's shoes.
Zhang Yuan looked down at his shoes, frowned, turned to the unconscious wicked man and said, "I need a new pair of shoes." β
The wicked man was in a coma, and of course he couldn't respond to Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan turned around and said to Lu Yan again: "Why didn't you kill this idiot?"
Lu Yan still maintained the movement of raising the knife, and replied, "I originally planned to kill him, but I suddenly thought of a question. β
Zhang Yuan said strangely: "What question do you think of?"
Lu Yan frowned, "You know that when I kill someone, I must draw the knife three times. β
Zhang Yuan nodded, "I know." β
Lu Yan looked at the unconscious wicked, "But I found that my scabbard was missing. β
Zhang Yuan also looked at the unconscious wicked man, sighed, and said, "He forgot to return your scabbard." β
Lu Yan also sighed, "That's why I didn't have a chance to pull out the knife for the third time." β
Ah San only knew at this time why Lu Yan didn't let him go and didn't kill him.
Before, he jumped out of the wine shop and jumped directly into the carriage, but was restrained by Lu Yan with a knife, and then when the carriage stopped here, Lu Yan kicked him out of the carriage, which was regarded as giving him the first chance for them.
Ah San was originally going to escape, but he didn't run two steps and suddenly turned back.
Because he found that just as he was kicked out of the carriage by Lu Yan, the wicked and the other three men also hurriedly got out of the carriage.
Ah San originally came to kill the wicked, and now that the wicked man is in front of him, how can he let go of this opportunity?
Seeing that it was almost noon, if the wicked man was let go here, then he would be able to win Qin Qing's heart immediately. He must not let this person take away Qin Qing's heart, so Ah San almost didn't think about it and threw himself at the wicked, but was kicked back to the carriage by Zhang Yuan, who was beside the wicked.
The sound of knives rang out.
Ah San had been restrained by Lu Yan with a knife for the second time.
At this time, Lu Yan drew his knife for the second time, and once again, Ah San would definitely fall to the ground.
Ah San also decided that he would definitely die, but he never expected that the wicked man would quickly walk back to the carriage and ask Lu Yan to hand over the scabbard to him.
What is the use of a wicked man with a scabbard?
The wicked man said, "The road is not smooth, and I need to walk with a crutch." β
What an inexplicable reason.
How can a scabbard be used as a wooden crutch for walking?
Not in the past, but now there is.
Despite the ridiculous reasoning of the wicked, LΓΌ Yan agreed, and presented his scabbard with both hands.
Recalling the look in his eyes before the wicked man led him away, Ah San couldn't help but tremble. He wasn't afraid of the wicked man, but it was at that time that he felt scared for the first time.
Even now, he is still afraid of this great villain who can't do any martial arts.
A person can be called a wicked person, and of course there is something terrible about him.
Ah San knew that he couldn't escape anymore.
The wicked man who was carried back woke up in a trance.
opened his mouth and changed his mind, he actually woke up so quickly, which shows how hard this wicked man's life is.
He opened his eyes in a daze, glanced at Ah San, closed his eyes again, and after a long time, he said vaguely: "Is there too many people here today?"
The wicked don't like to have a lot of people, so he always takes the four most valuable people with him when he goes out, and he never takes one more person out of the house, and there is no need to bring one more person at all. Because the four people who followed him at this time were worth more than four hundred.
After a while, the wicked man said in a daze, "I don't like to have a fifth person dangling in front of my eyes." β
Of course, Lu Yan also understood this, so he nodded very solemnly, but he just replied with one word: "Hmm." β
Well?
Didn't he really understand what the wicked were saying?
The wicked man said that he didn't like to see the fifth person, shouldn't the implication be that he wanted him to get rid of Ah San?
Even Ah San himself had already understood the words of the wicked, how could Lu Yan not understand?
Lu Yan had already taken the scabbard from another person.
The wicked man had his eyes closed, and he looked weak.
If you want to kill him at this time, it must be the time when the success rate is the greatest.
It's a pity that Ah San can't have another chance.
