Chapter 2: Gold Buys Life
Chapter 2: Gold Buys Life
Ten years ago, there was a person on the rivers and lakes. Dressed in black, with a sword, a miserable white human skin mask, and a pair of sharp eyes exposed outside the mask, it looked more terrifying than his sword.
But in fact, it was his sword that was really terrifying.
- A sword that kills, a sword that can kill people anytime, anywhere, in an instant.
What's even more terrifying is that-
This man kills anyone, as long as it is a person, he kills him.
The most terrifying thing is-
As long as this person wants to kill someone, it is equivalent to a dead person.
Ten years ago, there was no name.
Ten years later, he is the first killer in the world - the Central Plains is a little red.
The Central Plains is a little red, this may not be his name, but because of this, this person is killing people in the Central Plains, and the killing method is exquisite, a sword pierces, and the wound only leaves a little red spot, so it is called the Central Plains a little red.
As for what his real name is, no one knows.
People who want to kill and are afraid of being killed know that if this person wants to kill you, you are a dead person.
A little red in the Central Plains has killed countless people, only he has killed people in his life, but no one can kill him, so he is still the number one killer in the world, so he is still alive and well.
But doesn't anyone want to kill the Central Plains a little red?
There are more people who want to kill a little red in the Central Plains than a little red in the Central Plains, and they can be crowded into a river. There have been many plans to kill a little red in the Central Plains, but so far no one has succeeded in killing him.
There is a reason why no one can kill him, that is, few people in the rivers and lakes can find a trace of a little red in the Central Plains.
No one could find any trace of the Red in the Central Plains, so naturally no one could kill him.
Seven days passed quickly, the time passed, and at the same time and place, a noodle stall appeared in the alley.
The night was colder and the rain was heavier.
The husband and wife at the noodle stall are still standing inside and outside the stall as they did seven days ago, waiting for customers to come to the door.
There are still three tables in front of the noodle stall.
Everything was exactly the same as it had been seven days ago, except that there was not a single guest on the chair at the table.
The boss is still wooden, and the proprietress who has been yellow yesterday still has a happy smile on her face. However, on a cold night, the boss of Mu Ne spoke, and he asked the proprietress a word: "That person can find a little red in the Central Plains?"
The boss is an honest person, and honest people always ask questions very directly.
The proprietress glanced at the boss with a smug look in her eyes. laughed, "Do you know who that hat man was yesterday?"
The boss shook his head: "People have always been invited by you, I don't know." ”
The proprietress is not surprised, but what if the boss knows her? It is precisely because the boss does not know that the proprietress is even more proud, and she proudly steps on the table of the noodle stall again. Said happily: "He is the only one who became the target of Zhongyuan Yihong, but was not killed by Zhongyuan Yihong." ”
The boss had a look of shock on his face.
The proprietress smiled silently: "The soul searching sword has no shadow, and the Central Plains is a little red, as long as it is the person who wants to kill the Central Plains, that person is equal to a dead person! ”
The boss snorted and sighed: "Zhongyuan Yidian Hong has only withdrawn from business once in his life, and the person he wanted to kill that time was Zhu Tao of Kuaiyitang, but Zhu Tao is very smart, he joined Zhongyuan Yihong's killer organization, so Zhongyuan Yihong didn't kill him." ”
The hostess was even more proud. Said: "Therefore, it is not correct to say that the Central Plains is a little red alone, at least the Central Plains and Zhu Tao are people in the organization, so if anyone can find the Central Plains a little red today, it is only Zhu Tao." ”
The rain fell even harder, drop by drop like gravel on the ground.
At this moment, the smile on the boss's face had stiffened, and the boss's eyes had already widened, and a wooden face began to become incomparably pale.
Residual lights illuminated the deep alleys.
There was no one to be seen in the deep alley, and no footsteps could be heard, but the boss and the proprietress knew that someone was coming, and the Central Plains was a little red.
How many people in the world can have that kind of sharp and tragic murderous aura?
Heavy rain. The pouring rain was full of murderous intent.
This killing intent is not emitted by a sword, but from a person.
A little red in the Central Plains is coming, and a little red in the Central Plains is indeed coming. The boss and the proprietress dared to vouch for their lives, they had never seen a celebrity in the Central Plains. But he had the opportunity to feel the killing intent on the body of a little red in the Central Plains.
They will not admit this kind of killing intent.
Yes, the man had already arrived, a man who was so tightly wrapped that he couldn't see his age clearly, holding an umbrella, walked step by step into the deep alley, and sat down at one of the tables.
The boss and the proprietress seem to have been immobilized. Frozen in place, for a long, long time, the boss standing outside the noodle stall glanced back at the proprietress of the proprietress and handed the boss two long chopsticks, one meter five or six long chopsticks, and the boss walked up to the person who was tightly wrapped.
The boss's hands were already in a cold sweat, and his honest mouth was already unfavorable, and he opened his mouth after two breaths: The guest officer eats noodles? But this sentence was not asked, and the person who was tightly wrapped in his whole body preemptively said: "I'll grab the silver, fifteen thousand taels of silver." ”
What a big breath.
Ordinary people were either angry or stunned when they heard this, but neither the boss nor the proprietress showed these two expressions.
The proprietress began to smile and smile. And the boss also began to restore the wooden ne, the rock-like wooden ne, and the paleness on his face slowly disappeared.
The boss glanced at the guest fiercely, shook his head and said, "We only have a total of two thousand taels of silver, so you can't grab fifteen thousand taels." ”
The proprietress stared at the guest, but the guest was surprisingly calm, there was no fluctuation on his face, he was very calm and calm, and he was outrageously calm, but the guest glanced at her, and that glance made him feel cold.
The guest said lightly: "I know that you don't have fifteen thousand taels of silver, but I know that some of you must be able to take it, so I can wait." ”
"How long will it take?" the boss asked silly.
"I can wait until you die of old age, but my sword can only wait for a stick of incense, and I hope that after a stick of incense I will have fifteen thousand taels of silver on my table, not two worthless heads. ”
The boss's smile stiffened, and the boss's face turned blue, but the sweat on her body flowed even more.
He has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has heard the name of this man. I also know the fame of this person, this person has never broken his trust in others, especially in the matter of killing. As long as this person says to kill you at the third watch. It will definitely not keep you until the fifth watch.
Therefore, the people on the rivers and lakes even compared him to the Lord of Yama, who was in charge of life and death.
The proprietress no longer has a confident smile on her face, facing the boss's gaze, the proprietress can hardly hide a look of horror in her eyes, she has been walking on the rivers and lakes for 26 years, she is rarely afraid! Especially in the past ten years, she has become more and more famous in the rivers and lakes. I was never afraid, but today I am afraid.
This person can do what he says, and the proprietress doesn't expect this person to change her mind, she just hopes that person can show up at the appointed time.
The sub-hour will pass.
The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, and the faces of the boss and the proprietress became more and more pale, and in the cold night and the heavy rain, there was hot sweat left on the foreheads of the two.
The two didn't think about escaping, they didn't think they could run faster than this man's sword, which was known as the fastest sword in the world. When it comes to swordsmanship, few people can compare to this person.
If it weren't for the speed of the sword, how could it have pierced the throat and left only a little red?
The time for a stick of incense is about to pass.
The tightly wrapped man seemed to be ready to stand up, too.
The boss had seen the sword that the man had dangled from his waist.
The swarthy hilt, the swarthy scabbard.
Although the sword was in its sheath, the chilling killing intent was already floating in the air, making it extremely difficult for people to breathe.
No matter how long the time passes, no matter how short, the time of a stick of incense will soon pass, and the man has already stood up.
The boss and the proprietress were also standing on end, and they were ready to start running, but they still didn't run. Because the man did not draw his sword after all.
The sound of footsteps sounded in the dark alley, and a very gentle sound sounded at the same time as the footsteps, and it was because of this sound that the man did not draw his sword.
As soon as the sword of murder is unsheathed, only the killer can make it willingly sheathed.
"I don't have fifteen thousand taels of silver. But I have 4,000 taels of gold, and I wonder if you're willing to help me kill someone?"
The sound of footsteps is not the footsteps of one person, but the footsteps of a group of people.
The footsteps were neat, and few people could hear the footsteps of five people when they were not in sight. Not to mention in the majestic downpour.
The boss's and the proprietress had just turned pale again, this time not from fear, but from anger.
The man had already arrived, but he showed up at the last minute.
The eyes of the boss and the proprietress were fiercely fixed on the young man who was the first to come out of the darkness, a young man dressed as a scholar.
With a gentle smile on his face, this young man walked with an umbrella as if he were walking, and looked very relaxed.
The rich killing intent floating in the air, the man didn't seem to feel it.
Behind that man, there were four very inconspicuous four people who also slowly came out of the darkness.
Four big men, a total of two pairs.
Each team of big men jumped down an alley that looked very heavy and heavy.
Five men stood in front of the guest.
The young man dressed as a scholar waved his hand to the four big men behind him, and the box was immediately opened.
Two golden rays of light shone in the darkness, dizzying the eyes of the boss and the proprietress and deterring the anger of the boss and the proprietress .
The young man smiled at the tightly wrapped guest who calmly looked at the gold in the box, and said, "I don't have any gold, but with four thousand taels of gold, I don't know if it will be enough for you to kill a person for me." ”
Before the mysterious guest could speak, the proprietress jumped out of the noodle stall and appeared in front of the two of them, saying, "Four thousand gold for silver is twenty thousand taels of silver, which is enough." ”
The young man's smile became more pleasant, and he continued to look at the mysterious guest.
The guest glanced at the proprietress coldly, and then said lightly: "I only want the fifteen thousand taels of silver I deserve, not too much." ”
The young man's smile was dull for a moment, and he asked curiously, "Why?"
The guest said, "You send three men to kill me, and the price of each of them is five thousand taels, so I deserve fifteen thousand taels." ”
He held an umbrella and looked at the guest in front of him, who only showed two sharp eyes, and the rest was hidden under the hat, and said: "It makes sense, if you want to kill someone, you must pay a price!" But I have a question, you are willing to take my fifteen thousand taels of silver, but you have not promised to kill for me?"
The guest said, "Not bad. ”
The young man nodded, indicating that he had understood very well, he didn't look at the very obvious teasing smile of the proprietress, and continued to look at the guest in front of him and said, "I have four thousand taels of gold here, and if you exchange it for two taels of silver, you will have twenty thousand taels of silver, so I will pay you fifteen thousand taels of silver, and five thousand taels." Shall I ask you to help me kill a man for five thousand taels of silver?"
Five thousand taels, the top killer on the rivers and lakes is worth this price. But this price is not enough for some killers, especially for the killer in front of him, in recent years, he has only accepted more than 10,000 taels of business.
The proprietress and the proprietress waited for the man to be rejected, but it was unbelievable that the guest, who was known for his withdrawn and eccentric temper, just glanced at the young man coldly and said, "I can hear who you are going to kill." ”
The young man's face showed a pleasant smile again, and he deliberately swept it over the boss and the proprietress , and the proprietress immediately took a step back, and the boss was also awe-inspiring.
But instead of asking the man to kill them, the young man told his true purpose.
"I want you to help me kill a flower thief. ”
"What's it called?"
"Tian Boguang who travels alone for thousands of miles, is five thousand taels of silver enough?"
"Enough, I'll come to you in three days. ”
With that, the guest had already turned, opened his umbrella, and left the deep alley.
The young man watched the guest leave, and with a very pleasant smile on his face, he went to the stall and took out a pot of wine, poured it into his mouth, looked at the couple with a bright smile on his face, and said, "I finally understand now that killing people with money is the safest and most pleasant thing in the world.
