There is a river between the north and south of Biyu City, and there is an unattainable earthen wall built on the north bank of the river to ensure that people from the south city cannot break into the north city at will.

Tie Hanfeng has the killer waist card of Jinpeng Castle, which is one of the recognized entry and exit certificates, and Huan Nu is the private goods he carried, "Follow me, without Master and my old man, you don't want to go back to Shibao, you can only rot in Nancheng to feed the dogs." ”

Biyu North City is one of the safest places in the Western Regions and even the world, while South City is ......

Gu Shenwei spent some time searching for the right words, and finally came to the conclusion that this is the most debauched place in the world.

Entering the southern city from the only pontoon bridge, the first building he saw was a dilapidated brothel, standing at the intersection like a label, it was dusk, there was a listless prostitute standing at the door of the brothel, the heavy fat powder on her face could not even hide the last touch of the sunset, the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were clearly visible, and only when the night completely fell could she be dressed in a bright new dress.

Tie Hanfeng seemed to have seen a heavenly immortal, his red-chested face passed the sunset on the horizon, and he happily hugged the prostitute and walked inside, he had already crossed the threshold, and then he remembered the apprentice outside, and turned around and asked not very enthusiastically: "Do you want to play?"

Gu Shenwei immediately shook his head.

"Then wait for me outside for a while, and don't go far. ”

Gu Shenwei could not stand at the door of the brothel, as he would be regarded as a doorman or a pimp, so he walked all the way to the corner of the street, passing three brothels and four taverns before stopping.

As the sky grew dark, all the houses along the street opened their doors and poured their lights generously into the street, coating the dirty ground with a soft glow like pearls, as if even wine could seep out of the mud, and in an instant the southern city was transformed from hell into a paradise of sound, seducing countless guests who seemed to suddenly emerge from the ground.

Gu Shenwei understood why his father didn't want to stay in Biyu City for a long time, he didn't want his three sons to fall into the glamour of Nancheng.

Standing on the street corner and observing the passers-by, Gu Shenwei suspected that many of the guests were from the safety of the northern city, because they were richly dressed and flocks of slaves, swaggering down the street like male geese inspecting the territory.

Among the pedestrians, there are even killers from the Stone Castle, their characteristics are very obvious: they have a gloomy expression and do not smile, they deliberately walk on the side of the street with their heads down, and when someone approaches, they immediately cast a vigilant glance, and the murderous aura can be transmitted beyond a street.

Jinpeng Castle requires the killers not to attract attention at all times, but in this cheerful city that never sleeps, the killer's low-key and cautious are like the face of an old prostitute in the sun, and no amount of powder can cover those wrinkles.

On the contrary, Tie Hanfeng, who was out of place in the stone castle, was like a fish in water here, able to hide the identity of the killer.

Gu Shenwei was a little cramped and uneasy, he didn't like it here, he would rather stay behind the indifferent stone wall than be in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, this was a world he had never touched, and it was stranger to him than the Killer Castle.

Pedestrians mostly avoided him, and the teenager was just as typical, if not more typical, than the obvious Jinpeng killers.

Some people were also interested in him, and a young man in a big hat passed by him, suddenly turned back, and whispered in his ear: "Do you want a good knife? It is definitely the sharpest knife in the world, and it will not curl the blade even if you cut a hundred people." ”

Gu Shenwei was not used to being so close to strangers, so he subconsciously leaned back, and at the same time touched the handle of the knife with his right hand, and then remembered that he had already handed in the weapon at the North City Gate.

"Don't. ”

In the face of blunt rejection, the young man had no intention of backing down, and continued to sell his goods, "Poison, all kinds of poisons: blood seals the throat, seven days of broken intestines, and leaves no trace." ”

"I don't have any money. ”

Gu Shenwei hoped that this sentence would cut off the other party's enthusiasm, but the young man was only stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Little brother, haven't you ever bought anything in Nancheng......?"

The young man made a gesture of decapitation, and Gu Shenwei understood that the currency of the Jinpeng killer was not gold and silver, but human heads.

The young man was waiting expectantly for the boy to take the bait, and a man rushed through the stab, pushed him a few steps, and spat out a word viciously, "Get out."

The young man fled, Tie Hanfeng's red face regained his smile, he didn't drink, but his temper was even better than when he was drinking, patted his apprentice's shoulder, and taught earnestly, "Don't pay attention to these bastards, they can't live tomorrow themselves, if you want to make a lot of money, just follow the master, even if you don't become a killer in the future, you can still live better than anyone else." ”

"No, I'm going to be a killer. ”

Gu Shenwei's answer was categorical, but Tie Hanfeng didn't take it very seriously, and dragged the apprentice away, "Come, I'll take you to a good place to see if you still want to be a killer." ”

Gu Shenwei wanted to remind the master that the purpose of this trip was to kill people, but he couldn't find the opportunity, it was said that it was that person who secretly planned to kill Tie Hanfeng's only apprentice, Gu Shen didn't believe this statement, but he wanted to see the master's assassination skills.

A section of the city wall in the southwest corner of Biyu City collapsed many years ago and has never been rebuilt, and many shops have spread out of the city, opening up a large prosperous area outside the city, where Tie Hanfeng's so-called "good place" is located, backed by the ruined city wall, called "South Wall".

"As the saying goes, 'if you don't hit the south wall, you won't look back', do you know what the next sentence is?' ”

Tie Hanfeng was as excited as a child, killing people was purely an excuse to come here for fun, and before he even entered the tavern, the purpose had been completely forgotten.

Unlike other venues, the "South Wall" tavern is very stingy with lighting, the entrance is dark, and it is easy for unfamiliar people to overdo it.

The gatekeepers were two fat men, one tall and one short, who searched each guest, detaining all things such as swords and daggers, and "coming out to collect them", and after the search they would add a sentence without emotion.

Tie Hanfeng was obviously a regular customer here, and opened his arms to indicate that he did not bring weapons and went in directly without accepting the search, and the two fat men bowed to him happily, and then stopped the young man behind him, and searched carefully before pushing him in.

Gu Shenwei's first impression of the "South Wall" tavern was the same as the entire South City, very bad, mixed with contempt and disgust, and a trace of vigilance, he never imagined that he would regard this place as a second "home" in the future, and since he no longer had the first "home", this would be his only "home".

What surprised Gu Shen the most was that Tie Hanfeng was a big man here.

The appearance of the iron cripple groveling in Jinpeng Castle was deeply rooted in Gu Shenwei's heart, so when he saw that almost every guest and companion in the tavern greeted the master warmly and invited him to drink, he initially thought it was a misunderstanding.

The tavern occupies a large area, is brightly lit, filled with large and small tables, and more than a dozen guys shuttle through the crowd to meet the needs of all the guests, truly realizing the "feet do not touch the ground" required by Tie Hanfeng.

Fine wine, is the "south wall" of the foundation of fame, it has the world from east to west from south to north all the region of the famous wine, a guest from the Central Plains, you can drink the hometown of Fenjiu, carving wine, you can also taste the wine that you have never heard of, barley wine, the guests who try it usually want a glass of everything, from the second watch day to the dawn, never the same, the senior wine guest is a special taste, one after another taste to get drunk.

Gu Shenwei got lost as soon as he came in, and finally saw the master waving to him in the corner.

The table in front of Tie Hanfeng was already full of fine wines of various colors, he was addicted to alcohol, but he had never reached the realm of seniority, and his drinking was the same as those guests who had just entered the "South Wall", seeking more than purity.

Tie Hanfeng pushed the apprentice a glass of bright red wine, and said in his throat, "Drink!"

Gu Shenwei shook his head, and Tie Hanfeng stuffed the jade cup into the apprentice's hand, "There is no killer who doesn't drink, this is a skill you must learn." ”

Gu Shenwei naturally didn't believe this statement, but he still picked up the wine glass, looked at the blood-like liquid inside, and a feeling of vomiting from the deepest part of his stomach and intestines, he had already killed three people in a row in the monthly test, but he had not overcome this feeling, this was his secret, so he drank it all in one fell swoop, following the master's example.

The sweet and sour wine whipped up a whirlwind in the stomach, blowing the vomiting away and then all the sensations away.

Gu Shenwei followed the master to drink glass after glass, and people kept talking to Tie Hanfeng to fight for wine, and Tie Hanfeng had the ability to continue to pour wine in his mouth, drinking faster than the silent apprentice.

Gu Shenwei only cared about drinking at first, but slowly realized that Master's conversation was not just a social interaction between acquaintances, he was listening to information.

A thin man like a bamboo pole said, "A fat man from Shule Country died in Haitang Alley", and then a one-eyed man whispered, "I have a batch of goods, and I want to find someone to escort them to the Central Plains", Tie Hanfeng knew this, beckoned a middle-aged man in shabby clothes, and told him that there was a business to do, not "official goods", and the asking price could be a little higher, the middle-aged man bowed down to express his gratitude, walked into the crowd to find the one-eyed man, and Tie Hanfeng called the thin man who was guarding nearby and stuffed him with a small bag of silver.

It was all done while he was drinking non-stop.

The sky gradually darkened, there were more and more people in the tavern, people just kept crowding in, it seemed that no one wanted to go out, Tie Hanfeng's business was very good, he took out a lot of silver, and collected more silver, until few people came in front of him, he began to talk to some real drinking friends.

There are a lot of these drinking friends and they look different, and it is certain that none of them is a Jinpeng Castle killer, and Gu Shenwei only remembers one person.

The man had a horse face and a disproportionately small mouth, and he had chatted with Tie Hanfeng for the longest time, they were old acquaintances, and they had done a lot of big things together, and the two chatted while drinking, and gradually fell into a nostalgic mood, reminiscing about the sweet youth together, talking about dead friends, beautiful and amorous women, and even remembering the enemy at that time with tears.

After midnight, the guests began to disperse one after another, and the horse-faced man staggered away after hugging Tie Hanfeng.

Tie Hanfeng drank very happily, stroked his belly, looked at the face of his apprentice, was satisfied, and said, "Go, kill that guy." ”
