Chapter 61: A sky-high bounty
The governance of Qing'an County is getting smoother and smoother, and Zhang Ming is becoming more and more handy in handling official affairs. Going to the Holy Church outside the city to teach the children did not delay time, but Zhang Ming felt that his life was more fulfilling and he had a new understanding of martial arts.
More than three months have passed since the Wang family's manor, and the Wang family has not moved, as if they have forgotten Zhang Ming. Even Zhang Ming himself was wondering, did the Wang family have nothing to do with themselves and gave up?
After lunch, Yue Linglong came to Zhang Ming and wanted to go to the Holy Church outside the city to have a look. Although the Holy Hall was founded by Zhang Ming, thirty percent of the people there were from the Sword Sect, and Yue Linglong couldn't help but be concerned about this matter.
Before the two of them walked out of the yamen, the half-step innate martial artist from Fengyu Tower brought a piece of information and handed it to Zhang Ming.
Zhang Ming took the information and looked at the middle-aged man named "Ma Liu" in front of him, and secretly said, the people in the wind and rain building are really strictly trained, and they are not bad at all compared to the elite in the army.
"Ma Liu" is definitely not his real name, but a code name, as for whether he is surnamed Ma, Zhang Ming is not sure.
After reading the information, Zhang Ming's face was still calm, and someone paid five million taels of silver to buy his own head. Hehe, I have to say that my life is really valuable.
"Is it the Wang family?" asked Zhang Ming to Ma Liu.
Ma Liu shook his head and said, "Elder Hui, I don't know." The Wang family is the most suspicious, but there is no evidence. This reward was spread through the channels of the Taiqing Sect, and Fengyulou only found a few clues. ”
Ma Liu's words are not much, a little wooden, but he is very steady in his work, and he will not easily draw conclusions about things without evidence. In the county yamen, there is no such rigorous talent, even Huang Yun, in terms of carefulness, cannot be compared with Ma Liu.
"What reward?" asked Yue Linglong.
Zhang Ming handed the information to her: "You can see for yourself." ”
After Yue Linglong finished reading it, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said, "Zhang Ming, you're in trouble." Five million taels of silver, but the price is sky-high, even if the Wang family's thousand-year-old savings will not exceed fifty million taels of silver, this money is enough for many innate powerhouses to risk death to kill you. ”
The wealth of the family may not be a lot, they rely on their family heritage and influence, as well as a lot of immovable industries, as for silver, it may not be comparable to many rich merchants.
Zhang Ming looked at Ma Liu and asked, "Didn't Fengyulou not take over the business of killing me?"
Ma Liu said: "The Wind and Rain Building will not make any more moves, but other innate powerhouses will not be affected by the Wind and Rain Building. The world is too big, even if it is a wind and rain building, it is impossible to take all the assassins under his command. Many assassins on the rivers and lakes are not on the list of innate killers, but they are not necessarily weaker than the assassins on the list. ”
Zhang Ming nodded and said, "Okay, I know." Go down. ”
After Ma Liu left, Yue Linglong whispered: "Zhang Ming, your courage is really not small, you dare to use the people in Fengyulou, you are not afraid that they will stab you in the back." ”
The Wind and Rain Building is a dark force, and when everyone hears the Wind and Rain Building, they will think about the dark side. But Zhang Ming knows that the dark power is not terrible, but the dark hearts of the people are really terrifying.
Zhang Ming said indifferently: "I dare to use all the people of your Sword Sect, why don't you dare to use the people of Fengyulou." If he wants to follow me, he must abide by my rules, otherwise, I will let him go. As long as he can do the things I have to explain, I don't care who he is. ”
Yue Linglong smiled slightly: "I have to say, Zhang Ming, Zhang Jieyuan, you are really broad-minded." But you have such a heart, but you are a person who does great things. In a few decades, or even a hundred years, maybe you will be able to achieve your ideals. ”
Zhang Ming said: "Let's take one step at a time." Okay, it's not early, it's time for the afternoon class to be soon, so let's hurry up and go to the Holy of Saints. ”
...........................
The Wang family used the secret channel of the Taiqing Sect to issue a sky-high reward to buy Zhang Ming's head, which caused a sensation in the killer world of the entire Great Qian Dynasty for a while. Even the news of the bounty spread to the northern barbarians, arousing the interest of many barbarian innate warriors.
Being able to kill an innate martial artist of the Great Qian Dynasty, and being a genius with great potential, and being able to get five million taels of silver, is beneficial and harmless to the barbarians.
With this amount of money, it is completely possible to create a tribe in the north.
Among the barbarians, a small tribe of more than 20,000 people.
"Bach, do you really want to go south to the Great Qianchao?" In the tent, the old patriarch looked at the middle-aged man Bach who was kneeling opposite, his eyes full of worry.
Bach is the strongest warrior in the tribe, a congenital warrior, and it is with Bach's protection that the tribe has been preserved and not annexed by the surrounding tribes. But now Bach is going to the Great Qian Dynasty, and he is still going to kill an innate martial artist, which is really too dangerous.
Bach's eyes were full of determination, and his eyes were as sharp as a wolf.
"Patriarch, the situation in the tribe, you also know that the life of the tribe is too hard, and when the snow falls in winter, I don't know how many people will freeze to death. Bach said respectfully to the patriarch, "The Great Qian Dynasty is rich, and there is wealth everywhere. Five million taels of silver can buy a lot of food and weapons, which is enough for us to develop into a medium-sized tribe. ”
In the eyes of the people of the Great Qian Dynasty, the barbarians ate mutton and beef, drank mare's milk wine, and lived a very comfortable life. However, the actual situation is just the opposite, and the barbarian people live a harder life than the people of the Great Qian Dynasty. Cattle, sheep and horses were the only wealth of the barbarians, and they generally did not slaughter livestock except during large festivals or sacrifices to wolf gods.
Not to mention horses and fat oxen, even a little lamb is also precious to the barbarian people.
Five million taels of silver, the meaning to the tribe and the clansmen, of course, the patriarch is clear. But it is too dangerous to go to the Great Qian Dynasty to kill the innate martial artist, not to mention that this innate martial artist is still a genius, and he is also an official of the imperial court.
The patriarch shook his head and said, "Bach, you are the most powerful warrior in our tribe, and the tribe's people need your protection, if you have an accident, our tribe will be finished." It's better to give up, the county order of the Great Qianchao named Zhang Ming is not so easy to kill. Otherwise, his enemies would not have offered a reward of five million taels of silver for his head. ”
Bach said, "Patriarch, don't persuade me. It is very clearly written on the intelligence that the county commander named Zhang Ming is only a congenital early stage martial artist, and I am already in the middle of the innate stage, I will definitely kill him. Even if something happens, with my martial arts, I can leave the Great Qian Dynasty and return to the tribe. ”
The patriarch finally nodded and agreed that Bach would go south to kill Zhang Ming, because he knew that Bach would not change his decision, even if he was the patriarch, he would not be able to influence Bach's decision. What's more, the people really need this money.
That night, Bach left the tribe in a cowhide coat and with a scimitar on his back.
After walking two miles, Bach glanced back at the tribe and said firmly: "Rest assured, people, I, Bach, will definitely bring back five million taels of silver." Wait for me. ”
..............................
A hidden killer stronghold somewhere.
More than a dozen killer assassins gathered here.
"Five million taels of silver, a lot. I didn't expect Zhang Ming to be so valuable. ”
"Zhang Ming became an innate martial artist before he was twenty years old, and compared with the little living Buddha of Leiyin Temple, it is not much. What's more, Zhang Ming made trouble with the Wang family, and he was able to escape in the joint killing of the ancestor of the Wang family and Wang Wensen, and his martial arts and body skills were afraid that they had reached an unfathomable realm. ”
"Gaga, no matter how powerful Zhang Ming is, he is just an early innate martial artist. Can his innate true qi be able to resist Lao Tzu's Gu poison? This time, Zhang Ming will definitely die in the hands of Lao Tzu, five million taels of silver, I want it. ”
A cold voice said, "Okay, everyone don't make any noise." Listen to the old man. ”
It was a thin, white-haired old man with an ugly face and a green glint in his eyes. This old man is known as the Ghost Saint, an elder of the Golden Corpse Sect, who cultivates to the middle stage of the innate stage, but he can fight with the late stage of the innate martial arts.
The body and claw methods of the ghost saint are famous all over the world.
More than a dozen innate martial artists heard him speak, and they all closed their mouths.
"The old man asked everyone to come this time, just hoping that we can join forces. The ghost saint laughed, and the expression on his face was even more terrifying, "Zhang Ming is not easy to kill, and he can escape from Wang Jingtai's old guy, which shows that he has real skills." If we don't kill with one blow, we may not have a good time in the future. Everyone is a world-famous figure, and they should know that there is no assassin in the Wind and Rain Building this time, and there is some secret that no one knows. ”
Every time there is a good business, Fengyulou will mix in and make a lot of money. And these idle killers can only drink some soup, and the fat is eaten by Fengyulou. And this time, the sky-high reward of five million taels of silver, Fengyulou didn't make a move, and it was a bit weird.
However, the ghost saints can't manage so much, and it's better if Fengyulou doesn't make a move. They are old and have no chance to break through in the martial arts again, so they keep making money and thinking about the rest of their lives.
"Ghost Saint, what do you have in mind?"
A middle-aged-looking killer asked.
The ghost saint sneered: "Zhang Ming is an official of the imperial court, and his martial arts and swordsmanship are proficient, and if he acts alone, there is little hope. Therefore, we must unite and cooperate closely to achieve a one-hit kill. After the five million taels of silver are in hand, how about we divide them equally?"
Even if five million taels of silver are divided into more than ten cents, each person can get more than 400,000 taels, and this business can be done.
"We listen to the devil and saint you. ”
"Divide it equally, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is a lot, enough for Lao Tzu to spend a long time. ”
"That's it. We are now rushing to Qing'an County to look for an opportunity to make a move. ”
The Ghost Saint rushed to Qingxian with more than a dozen congenital killers, and after arriving at the location, he discussed the specific assassination plan.
