Chapter 227: Wishful Thinking
The woman looked at a few people, and said in a gentle tone: "A few people have worked hard, and they haven't been followed, right?"
Liu Laoer, the procurement manager of the palace, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head and said: "Don't worry, girl, the little ones are very careful all the way, and they shouldn't be discovered." ”
"Very well!" said the woman, visibly satisfied, with a slight bow, "there is some gold here, take a ingot from each of you." ”
"Thank you, girl, for the reward. Liu Lao Er and a few people stepped forward, and one of them took a gold ingot from the tray, bowed and said, "Steward Fan is still waiting for the little ones to reply. If there was no other command, the little ones withdrew. ”
Liu Lao Er didn't look up at the woman from beginning to end, but the other subordinates didn't know the taboo. In particular, a man with a thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes, seemed to be shocked by the woman's beauty, and when he passed by her to get the gold, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times. No one else noticed this scene, but the young man who had been playing with the golden snake saw it, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed away.
The woman nodded and said, "Go ahead, tell Steward Fan, I won't break my promise to him, please rest assured." ”
"Yes! The little one must bring the words. ”
Liu Lao Er bowed again, took a few steps back, and then walked towards the door.
At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded: "I remember, you are shallow...... Ahh
Liu Lao Er Huo Ran turned around, and before he could stop it, he only heard a crisp click, and the subordinate who spoke before had already fallen to the ground with a crooked neck. And the young man who played with the golden snake was moving his slender fingers, looking at them with a murderous face, and his gloomy gaze looked even more vicious than the poisonous snake in his hand.
Seeing that the other party had made no secret of his murderous intentions, Liu Laoer's eyes couldn't help but widen in horror, and he shouted as he retreated: "Girl, spare your life, little one...... Ugh!"
The young man's shot was as fast as lightning, almost one in one hand, and after a few screams, there were only a few unwilling corpses left on the ground, and a few ingots of gold and bones rolled everywhere.
Jiang Tianxiao, who was outside the door, was also taken aback by this sudden change, and almost didn't fall, but fortunately, he grabbed a rafter in time, so he barely stabilized his body, otherwise he would definitely be discovered by the people inside. Rao was like this, he also broke out in a cold sweat, and looked around to find a chance to slip away. Thirty-six plans are the best plan, and he doesn't think that the other party will let him go as a witness.
The woman looked at the mess all over the ground and said angrily, "Why did you kill them?"
killed several people in one go, and the young man with an angry face seemed to have nothing to do, took out a brocade and wiped his hands slowly, and said lightly: "Do you think I killed the wrong one?"
The woman was a little speechless for a while, and after a while she sighed: "Forget it! It's just that they are all Fan Qingyang's people, if he doesn't cooperate with us in a fit of anger, then what will Xiaoci do?"
"Then kill Fan Qingyang too!" the young man replied decisively, throwing Jinpa to the ground casually, "I don't believe they really dare to do anything to Xiaoci." ”
"It's not that simple. The woman shook her head slightly and said, "I know that you are strong in martial arts, but many things cannot be solved by one person, otherwise we wouldn't have to go through such a big effort." Now Xiaoci is in their hands, and the initiative is in their hands. If they knew Xiao Ci's identity, they naturally wouldn't dare to do anything to him. But if they knew Xiaoci's identity, they would naturally ask for more than just some wealth. Therefore, at present, we can only cooperate with Fan Qingyang to rescue Xiaoci without revealing his identity. ”
The young man was silent for a long time when he heard this, and seemed to be moved by the woman's words. But when his eyes turned to the big cloth bag on the soft couch, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a strange smile, and said, "I admit that what you said makes a lot of sense. But don't forget that we still have this. Don't you tell me you went to the trouble of getting her here to play with me?"
The woman was speechless and sighed: "Okay, I admit that with this girl in hand, we are a little more sure." However, the decision is still on Li Ji...... What are you going to do?" the woman quickly stopped in front of the young man, shook her head, and said, "Not yet, at least not until it is confirmed that Li Ji will agree to the exchange." ”
The young man pulled the woman away, walked to the big cloth bag and stretched out his hand, and with the sound of stabbing, the firm burlap bag was actually split in two by the young man like this, revealing the contents inside, and it was actually a beautiful girl.
"It's her!" Jiang Tianxiao outside the door recognized the girl at a glance, it was actually the girl he had seen in the mausoleum before, the girl who was with Su Jing, he vaguely remembered that the other party's name was Tang Zixi. It's just why she wasn't with Su Jing, but was tied up here by these two people.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, hesitating whether to save her. Now there are two people in the house, and they don't look weak, so he really can't grasp one enemy and two enemies. But if he doesn't save it, he really doesn't know how to explain it when he sees Su Jing again in the future. In the mausoleum, he could see very clearly that this girl had a very important place in Su Jing's heart. Now the reason why he and Xu Chenjiao obeyed Su Jingyan was also to ask him about the whereabouts of that person. If a big thing is ruined because of a small thing, it is really regrettable.
Just as he was in a dilemma, there was a sudden sound of talking in the room, which sounded like an argument between the two.
"Since the general has asked me to preside over the overall situation this time, you have to listen to me. I said I can't touch her now!"
"Qianyu, have you been in Daqin for a long time, and you don't know who is your master?"
"Don't spew blood, I have never forgotten that I am a citizen of Xiliang. What are you doing?"
The woman was furious, looking at the young man who was approaching step by step, with a frightened look on her face. At this time, the light veil on her face had disappeared, revealing a pretty face that was a little thrillingly beautiful.
Jiang Tianxiao happened to look into the room again, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the woman's true face, looked at the girl on the soft couch, and then looked at the woman who had retreated to the corner, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
The young man raised the veil in his hand, suddenly smiled, and said, "As soon as we met this time, I thought you were strange, and sure enough. I'm not an outsider, but you've been wearing a veil and insisting on letting me open the bag, if I hadn't insisted, I'm afraid you wouldn't even want me to help you. Tell me, what does this girl have to do with you? Who are you?"
The woman who is called Qianyu is the beauty who helped Li Ji into the inner hall in the palace before, but at this time she does not have such delicate makeup on her face, she looks much purer, and her facial features are seven or eight percent similar to the girl on the soft couch, no wonder the young man is suspicious.
Qianyu had already calmed down from the anger when he first took off his veil, and said, "You and I have been sent to the Shura field for training since we were children, and we have walked out of the sea of corpses and blood together, and we have faced countless life and death tests together. Now you doubt me, the man who has given everything to the organization. Why don't you tell me who I am?" she became angrier and angrier, and at the end she almost questioned sharply.
The young man was not angry, as if he had been touched by her words, and his expression looked rather embarrassed.
He looked at the woman in front of him who was so excited that his cheeks were slightly red, his mouth opened and said, "I ......" Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and he grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it to the door, shouting, "Who is it?"
Jiang Tianxiao, who was outside the door, secretly said that it was not good, and he didn't care about the jade pendant that fell to the ground, turned over and jumped down the third floor, picked up the little beggar hidden behind the door and rushed out.
The young man then chased after him, and when he saw the figure running away, his face couldn't help but change slightly, he was just tempting before, but he didn't expect that someone was eavesdropping outside, and a strong murderous intent appeared on his face.
However, Jiang Tianxiao's martial arts were already slightly inferior, and he was injured before, so he was blocked by the young man at the entrance of the alley after running not far away.
Seeing that the road was blocked by the other party, he really settled down, put the little beggar down, stared at the young man in front of him, and said, "Little brother, you go first, I'll cut it off!"
The little beggar nodded when he heard this, and ran away without saying a word.
The young man didn't mean to chase it, he just looked at the tall man in front of him, and said coldly: "You Mou doesn't kill the nameless, report the name!"
Jiang Tianxiao was also simply, and when he heard this, he arched his hand and said: "In Xia Jiang Tianxiao." I don't know your name. ”
The young man sneered and said, "You are also worthy of knowing my name?" After speaking, his hand shook, and an iron claw suddenly appeared on his right hand, and the five claws attacked Jiang Tianxiao like a hook.
Jiang Tianxiao was also angry, and with a snort, he drew his long sword and greeted him.
The two of them fought back and forth, and the occasional sonorous sound of metal intersecting could be heard on the silent long street. The little beggar who heard the noise glanced back, stomped his foot, turned the corner, and disappeared.
Jiang Tianxiao was bitter here, he didn't expect this young man's martial arts to be so high. Although he had seen the scene of the young man killing the subordinates of the palace before, firstly, those subordinates did not know martial arts, and secondly, he was far away and did not see too clearly, and he did not know that the other party had crushed the throat bones of those people with his bare hands to death. Now that he has a hand with the other party, he knows how terrifying the young man really is.
Coupled with the iron claws that the young man put on his hand, it was obviously not ordinary pig iron, and it seemed to be mixed with some other things, not only extremely hard but also faintly with a hint of red light. This turned the advantage of his long sword into a disadvantage. Soon, the other party found an opportunity, grabbed his long sword with one hand, and slapped his shoulder heavily with the other.
Jiang Tianxiao suddenly flew upside down, fell heavily not far away, and spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot, obviously suffering internal injuries.
The young man grabbed the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and with a sharp force with his right hand with iron claws, he directly broke a long sword made of stainless steel.
Jiang Tianxiao got up from the ground holding his dislocated shoulder, coughed and said, "Your Excellency's martial arts are really strong, Jiang admires it!"
"Admiration is also death!" The young man threw away the broken sword and walked towards Jiang Tianxiao.
