Chapter Seventy-Three: The Assassin Killer
"I invite you here today to thank you for your support to our Thousand Tea Workshop this year. Ye Qingchen stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all.
"Shopkeeper Ye is polite. Jin Sanye stood up and drank it all with his wine glass. The rest of the people also stood up and dried the wine in front of them, and Xue Hanjiang also stood up, followed everyone to raise their wine glasses, and drank it all.
Although Xue Hanjiang was silent, he only felt a hot breath rushing to the top of his head, and secretly smacked his tongue in his heart: "What kind of wine is this, it is so violent!"
"This second cup is thanks to Jin Sanye, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that this thousand tea shop would have no tea to sell. Ye Qingchen poured another glass of wine, raised it and made a toast to Jin Sanye, and once again took a sip.
Jin Sanye also poured a cup, drank it all in one gulp, and laughed loudly: "Shopkeeper Ye, why be polite! You are so reputable in business, I am naturally willing to cooperate with you." ”
Ye Qingchen's face also began to blush because of the spirits at this time, she picked up the wine jug and poured another glass of wine, she took the wine glass, turned to Xue Hanjiang and said, "This third glass, toast Xue Gongzi." Xue Hanjiang hurriedly poured himself a glass of wine and raised his glass.
"Thanks to Xue Gongzi's help, we have saved our Thousand Tea Houses from the harassment of the Golden Snake Gang. Ye Qingchen and Xue Hanjiang touched the wine glass, raised their heads and drank it all.
"Shopkeeper Ye is really polite. Xue Hanjiang was helpless, he rarely drank alcohol, and he was extremely unsuitable for this kind of liquor, but at this time, he had to dry the liquor in his hand.
The rest of the people all changed their faces, but they knew that this Golden Snake Gang was a big gang in Xuandu, and it was extremely difficult to mess with. Recently, the Golden Snake Gang has made a lot of money, and even they have been affected, forced by the power of the Golden Snake Gang, many of them have handed over silver taels to the Golden Snake Gang. And this young man was able to help Qianchafang avoid the harassment of the Golden Snake Gang, presumably because of his deep background, and even the Golden Snake Gang was unwilling to wait for him to be punished.
Jin Sanye's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed and said, "I didn't expect this little brother to have such a ability at such a young age, it's really amazing." ”
"Where, where. Xue Hanjiang arched his hand.
"Brother Snow is indeed a dragon among men. ”
"It's really a hero from ancient times. ”
......
Xue Hanjiang heard the compliments around him, and he felt sick in his heart, but he could only pretend to be smiling on his face.
At the banquet, Xue Hanjiang knew the identity of this Jin Sanye from the conversation with everyone. This Jin Sanye is the chief shopkeeper of the Jin firm, one of the three major trading houses in Xuandu, and thirty percent of Xuandu's goods flow out through his trading house, and he is also a well-known figure in Xuandu. Moreover, he is bold and never looks down on others, so he has a great prestige among the merchants of Xuandu and is deeply respected by many merchants.
Ye Qingchen's alcohol consumption seems to be quite good, and since they knew that Xue Hanjiang was so powerful, they never deliberately persuaded Ye Qingchen to drink. And Ye Qingyan didn't seem to like this kind of occasion very much, and he didn't speak, just lowered his head and ate.
Xue Hanjiang was inevitably toasted by all kinds of toasts, he couldn't refuse, many glasses of liquor were in his stomach, and people were a little dizzy. He knew that he would definitely get drunk if he continued like this, so he used the Xunzhen sword qi in his body to dissolve the wine, and the dizziness disappeared.
"Brother Xue, I didn't expect you to drink so well, brother, I'll toast you again!" At this time, Jin Sanye's face was slightly red, as if he was a little drunk, he stood up and raised his wine glass to Xue Hanjiang and drank it all.
"Jin Sanye has a good amount of wine!"
"Bold enough!"
The rest of the people clapped their asses when they saw this.
Xue Hanjiang raised his wine glass and was about to get up, when suddenly, he shouted, "Be careful, Jin Sanye sit down." ”
Although Jin Sanye didn't know what was happening, he quickly sat down when he heard Xue Hanjiang's cry. I saw several arrows shot out of the window, and they were nailed to the wooden board of the box with Jin Sanye's square crown.
"There's an assassin!" someone shouted at this. The rest of the people were very panicked when they heard this, some squatted down and hid under the table, and some wanted to run out of the box, making a mess for a while.
Seeing this scene, Jin Sanye didn't have time to Xie Xue Hanjiang, and shouted: "You all calm down first, don't mess up!"
At this time, the door of the box was opened, and everyone heard the sound and looked over vigilantly, only to see two people walking in. A person on the left has sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, looks good, has a cold expression, and carries a three-foot long sword at his waist, still wearing a thin green shirt in such a cold weather. The man on the right is a burly man, with a rough appearance, bright eyes, a long beard, and a black cloak, covering his body tightly. Except for Xue Hanjiang, the rest of the people were relieved when they saw the two, and they were no longer flustered.
As soon as the burly man came in, he stood on the left side of Jin Sanye, blocking the direction of the window, and said eagerly: "Third Master, are you okay?"
But the man in the green shirt came to the edge of the wooden plank, pulled out the arrow, looked at it carefully, and said: "This arrow has no mark, and the appearance is similar to the standard arrow of our dynasty. ”
"It seems that these two people should be the guards of this Jin Sanye. Xue Hanjiang said secretly in his heart.
Jin Sanye looked calm, poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "It seems that I have blocked the way of some people's wealth!"
"It's none of my business!" a fat rich man had already rushed out of the box out of fear, but in the blink of an eye, everyone heard a scream.
"Jin Sanye, how can this be good?" said a wealthy businessman who was already trembling with fright, lowered his head and said in a trembling voice.
Jin Sanye said calmly: "As long as we hold out for a while, these assassins will naturally retreat." After all, this is in Xuandu, no matter how powerful they are, they don't dare to be too presumptuous. ”
"It's coming. The man in the green shirt pulled out his long sword and said coldly. Outside the window, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and arrows rained in.
"The third master is offended. The burly man directly lifted the big table of the banquet and blocked it in front of the window.
All the wine and food on the table were thrown down and fell on the rich businessmen and outsiders who were hiding under the table, and they had no time to take care of their bodies at this time, so they all trembled and picked up a stool to block it above their heads, for fear that an arrow would fall and kill them.
Ye Qingchen and Ye Qingyan stood behind Xue Hanjiang at this time, and their expressions were much calmer than those trembling old men. Xue Hanjiang held the tea table in his hand and blocked all the arrows that attacked.
After this burst of arrows, there was a sudden silence outside, and there was an eerie silence in the box.
Just when everyone was wondering, suddenly several black-clad masked assassins armed with swords broke through the window, and several black-clad masked assassins broke through the door, obviously trying to attack from both sides.
Jin Sanye's strong man guard directly smashed the big table in his hand, and his momentum was very fierce. But those black-clothed masked men were not vegetarians either, and the sword light and sword shadow in their hands slashed, and the big table was instantly split into several sections.
On the other side, the long sword in the man in the green shirt swung like the wind, bringing up a fierce sword aura, and killing all the black-clothed masked assassins who broke in in a few moves.
"Big man, I'll solve it here!" said the man in the green shirt to the burly man, "You're a little slow." ”
With an angry look on his face, the burly man charged at the Assassins with his bare hands. Seeing him rushing so recklessly, the Assassins unleashed their swords and swords to attack him.
The burly man's face did not change, and he threw a punch into the face of an assassin. The assassin was overjoyed, after all, his sword was long, and as long as this person did not dodge, he would die under his sword. Only the sound of gold and iron could be heard, but the swords slashed at the burly man as if they had struck steel.
"No, Iron Shirt!" cried the black-clad masked assassin.
"You know it's too late!" the burly man laughed maniacally, and punched the assassin in the face, only to hear the sound of bones shattering, and the assassin flew out of the window.
The rest of the Assassins' faces changed dramatically and they bypassed him with the intention of attacking the others. But the burly man moved very quickly, punching and kicking, and knocking down two more people. Only the black-clad masked assassin furthest away from him was holding a knife and lunging in the direction of the Xue Han River.
Xue Hanjiang was still holding the tea table at this time, and when he saw the assassin rushing towards him, he threw it at the assassin. The assassin slashed out, and as long as he split the tea table, killed the young man, and took the two women over there as hostages, he might still be able to live. Unexpectedly, his knife slashed on the tea table, but a huge force came from the hilt, and he was even shocked out of the knife and fell directly out of the window. He was happy in his heart, it was really a loss of his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing, but he wasn't happy, but he saw that the tea table smashed straight on his head, and he only felt a sharp pain in his head, and his eyes were dark, so he fell out and fell on the street, life and death.
"Brother Xue, good skills!" Seeing this, Jin Sanye looked at Xue Hanjiang and exclaimed. The eyes of the man in green shirt and the burly man looking at Xue Hanjiang also became a little different, after all, Xue Hanjiang's hand just now made them a little smacked.
"Jin Sanye's life is really not so easy to take!" At this time, a person slowly walked in at the door of the box, with an indifferent expression and a fierce face.
Jin Sanye's face was also ugly when he saw this person, and said with a wry smile: "It's actually Du Mojiang, the king of Hades, it seems that I really cut off other people's monstrous wealth." ”
"There's no way, you have Qingfeng Sword Duan Ziduo and Tiebu King Kong Li Jinyu, two well-known martial arts people in the rivers and lakes by your side, as escorts, but it is very difficult for ordinary people to defeat these two people joining forces and then killing you. Du Mojiang said with a smile.
Duan Ziduo and Li Jinyu were both protecting Jin Sanye at this time, looking quite nervous, thinking that this Du Mojiang should be a powerful person.
"Today's events have nothing to do with other people, can you let them go? Jin Sanye said in a deep voice.
Du Mojiang's eyes revealed a piercing chill, and he sneered: "I, Du Mojiang, made a move, how could I stay alive." It's just that they are unlucky. ”
