Chapter 55: The Golden Leaf

If the death of Yu Xuansu and Fei Lian the day before was just a little inconspicuous ripple in Chang'an City.

Then Zhu Tang's death completely caused an uproar.

Zhu Tang, the contemporary head of the Zhu family in Chang'an, a pivotal figure in Chang'an City, died last night.

The people who killed him were the white-haired ghost and the nameless, and the two of them had some small names because they killed Yu Xuansu and Fei Lian.

But they are now completely famous, because everyone knows that they killed Zhu Tang, and the power of the two of them attacked and killed the Zhu family overnight, and before the killing, they also sent a post to the king of Hades, clearly informing the other party when and where to take the head.

Such a feat is already comparable to the legacy of the Yang family one hundred and thirty years ago, when the sword demon Ximen wiped out the Yang family's family with one sword.

These are two amazing young men.

And more importantly, these two young people are the swordsmen of the Gu family.

The deaths of Yu Xuansu and Fei Lian are just appetizers, and Zhu Tang's death is the Gu family's most powerful voice for Chang'an City, and it is conveying a message, that is, the Gu family must not commit crimes.

Many people who haven't finished or almost ended the game are secretly happy, originally they thought that this Chang'an storm, the final winner is undoubtedly the Yang family, but now it seems that the hand of the deer is not yet known, on the surface, the balance of victory seems to be falling towards the Gu family again.

In addition to these turbulent undercurrents, there is also a group of people who bet a lot of money yesterday in the big gamble last night, and some families are happy and some are sad.

Sell gold upstairs.

In addition to the counter where the gambling game was handled, there was also a private seat for gamblers to rest, and next to one of the tables, a gambler with a little alcohol was loudly announcing to the people around him what he had seen and heard outside Zhu's Mansion last night.

“...... Just listening to the white-haired ghost's voice, 'Zhao Keman Hu Ying', a knife light like moonlight was pulled out by him, and the head of the man with the knife rose to the sky, and the white-haired ghost went straight into Zhu's mansion, and he could be heard chanting from a distance, 'Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles'!"

"It's a good ten-step kill one, don't stay for a thousand miles, this white-haired ghost is really chic!" The gambler next to him was enthusiastic when he heard it, and he couldn't wait to turn into the white-haired ghost and go straight into Nazhu's mansion and do the chic artistic conception of killing one person in ten steps.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, I didn't go with Brother Zijin last night, eh, Brother Zijin, talk about it quickly, what happened after that?"

"Yes, yes, speak quickly!" the others also urged.

"Come slowly, wait for me to take a sip of wine, in fact, you don't have to be too sorry, in a few days, Brother Huang Kang will compile last night's grand occasion into a book, and everyone will have a chance to feast their eyes at that time." Brother Zijin took a sip of wine and sighed, "I just can't see the white-haired ghost, I sent ten invitations to Tingyulou this morning, and I can't reply, it's a pity, it's a pity, if you can have a drink with that white-haired ghost, it's really a happy life!"

When he said this, a young man on the counter of the gambling game couldn't help but glance back at this side, and then smiled a little weirdly, and secretly thought, what would it be like if he knew that the white-haired ghost was beside him, but he couldn't recognize it at all?

This person is naturally Gu Yue'an.

He and Xie Yuliu returned to Tingyu Building last night, and immediately went back to the room to rest, after all, he also suffered a lot of internal injuries, but he was not very willing to use the practice points, so he slept all night to see.

When he woke up the next day, although his body was still a little strange, the ruptured wounds on the surface of his body were almost healed.

After washing his face and pulling out a knife, he went out to buy breakfast.

By the way, Gu Yuean also came to the gold building and won the money.

That's right, he also bet, betting that he and Xie Yuliu can complete the Hades post.

Probably from the time when he was recruiting relatives in the Chen Gongfu, he had the habit of betting on himself to win in advance.

It's not that he's short of money, just looking for a little bit of illusory luck or some kind of ritual.

It's like betting on yourself to win, and you will definitely succeed.

People who lick blood on the knife all year round are always superstitious, and Gu Yue'an used to sneer at this kind of written description, and insisted that if a person can even face death, then it is impossible to be timid enough to rely on some ethereal things to increase confidence.

But that's not the case, the closer you get to death, the more you need something invisible and untouchable to back it up.

Although Gu Yue'an didn't need these things as a backing, once the habit was formed, there was no way to change it.

Habits, and sometimes superstitions, are also a type of superstition.

Just like the killer in a novel that Gu Yuean once read, before taking orders to kill, he will always buy lottery tickets, if the amount is large enough, he will take the order, no matter how difficult the order is, because he is lucky enough, he can be unscrupulous, if the amount is small, he will give up.

Confidence is a very important thing.

However, after last night's incident, Gu Yue'an's confidence has reached an extremely high level, and he doesn't need external objects at all.

It's just habit.

Putting the heavy ten gold leaves representing 100,000 taels of silver into his arms, Gu Yue'an turned back and returned to Tingyu Tower.

When he returned to the small courtyard, Xie Yuliu also got up, and he was standing in the pavilion, not knowing whether he was admiring the residual lotus or in a daze.

Gu Yue'an walked straight over, took out five gold leaves in his arms, put them in front of him, and said, "Your share." ”

Xie Yuliu looked at him suspiciously, not knowing why.

"Yesterday I bet that we could win, and in the end it will work, and you have done a lot of it. Gu Yuean explained, and then without waiting for Xie Yuliu to refute, he said, "Even if you don't need the money now, there will always be a place to use it in the future, so it should be ...... My apologies?"

Xie Yuliu looked at him.

In fact, it should be said that Xie Yuliu recognized him at the beginning of the knife last night, after all, he had fought each other, and he couldn't recognize him anymore.

Later, Xie Yuliu didn't say anything, he had been concentrating on fighting side by side with Gu Yue'an, and in the end he didn't go, but took out his sword, in addition to the dignity of the swordsman, he didn't care too much about Gu Yue'an and his grievances, this kind of bearing is admirable enough.

Therefore, Gu Yuean felt more and more guilty, although there was no way at the beginning, but it could be regarded as almost ruining someone else's life.

"I ...... at the beginning," Gu Yue'an glanced at Xie Yuliu's right hand.

"The sword has no eyes. Xie Yuliu interrupted him in a hurry.

"You don't blame me?"

Xie Yuliu also glanced at his right hand and said, "One day, we will fight again." ”

After saying that, he got up and left, and the gold leaf was accepted.
