Chapter Fifty-Nine: Each Harbors a Ghost
After Duan Xing came out of the prison, he came all the way to the grove outside the city, waiting for Liu Ruyan and Tian Hongliang to converge. After the two of them arrived, the three of them performed light skills, dodged pedestrians all the way, and came to the quarry where Gao Xiangguo killed Manjiu. There are a lot of night pedestrians here, but there is no one around during the day, and the silence is terrible, only a few mountain eagles are always hovering in the air. Duan Xing thought about it again and again, and still said to the two: "This seat will leave Dali in half a year, you don't have to follow me during this time, find a place to concentrate on cultivation by yourself, this seat hopes to see you promoted to the ranks of first-class masters in half a year." ”
The two of them knelt down on one knee, bent down and said, "We must cultivate diligently, practice martial arts as soon as possible, and live up to the trust of the Lord." ”
After thinking about it, Duan Xing continued: "In the past six months, you must not only practice the exercises diligently, but also look for a few children between the ages of eight and sixteen, who are outstanding in their roots, have both parents dead, have no worries, and have a strong heart. ”
Liu Ruyan raised his head and asked, "The Lord is planning to cultivate a group of low-level killers?"
"Exactly. ”
"Ruyan and Brother Hongliang have no experience in being killers, and I'm afraid that even if they recruit a group of children with excellent qualifications, they will not be able to train them well. However, Ruyan knows that above the rivers and lakes, there is indeed a person who specializes in assassination to make money. Liu Ruyan pondered.
Tian Hongliang looked at Liu Ruyan and asked: "Isn't what you said about the killer who 'comes without a shadow, goes without a trace, and seals his throat with a sword'?"
Liu Ruyan nodded and said, "It's this person." It is rumored that this man kills people without distinction between good and evil, between good and evil, between men and women, young and old. As long as someone pays the starting price, he dares to kill. Moreover, this person's martial arts are extremely high, and killing people is always a sword, and the person who is killed can never judge where this person's killing sword came from. By the time they found out, they were dead. If the Lord wants to set up a killer organization, it is better to take this person under his command. It's just that this person's whereabouts are erratic, and it is difficult to find a trace, and the possibility of him submitting is not very great. ”
After listening, Duan Xingxin said: "Who is this empty? It seems that there are still many things in this Tianlong's shijie that I don't understand, so it's okay, otherwise it won't seem boring." Then he said, "In this case, we don't need to look for him, just let him take the initiative to find us." ”
"What does the Lord mean?"
"Since he is a killer, we can arrange for people to pretend to be businessmen, publish news on the rivers and lakes to find no vacancy, and then pay him to hire him and bring him himself. ”
At this time, Tian Hongliang said: "I am afraid that the Lord's idea is not easy to realize. If you don't know or introduce people, it's hard to find no space. Even if we find no space, he won't just make a move. ”
"What?"
Tian Hongliang cleared his throat and said, "I have dealt with the killer Wukong before, and this person has never taken the initiative to find business. And every time this person takes on a task, he never shows up. Or arrange for a little beggar or a random woman on the street, give them some money and their own tokens, and let them go to their employer to get the money. He is on guard around to see if anyone is following, and if someone is following, he will be killed. If not, he gets it back from the person who arranged for the withdrawal. If the other party defaults on the debt and does not give the money, it will not take more than three days at the latest, and the whole family will be wiped out. It's very vicious. I once aimed at the "greedy money" Wang Jindou of the ** green forest, and was ready to start and get some money. Who knew that the "greedy for money" Wang Jindou relied on his own subordinates to have a lot of people, and he didn't pay the money after hiring Wukong to kill people, and when I killed Wang Jindou's house and wanted to touch a hand, I saw that Wukong had killed the other party's whole family without leaving a chicken and dog. ”
Recalling the scene at that time, Tian Hongliang continued: "That was the first time I saw Wukong, dressed in a black night suit, with two eyes plain and dull, and his figure was not particularly strong, but it gave people a particularly natural and harmonious feeling. If you don't pay attention to the whole person, it will be easy for people to ignore him. If there's anything about him that attracts others, it's his bald head. He just glanced at me and left. Later, I was curious and inquired in many ways, and I got a general understanding of the mode of doing business without time. ”
"And do you know how to find him?"
"Back to the Lord, after Wu Kong left, I searched through Wang Jindou's house and found an account book that recorded Wang Jindou's business records of contact with Wu Kong. Wukong once helped Wang Jindou kill three people, every time Wang Jindou wanted to find Wukong, he asked people to go to Yangzhou "Lichun Courtyard" to find a woman named Yunliu, maybe we can find out Wukong through that woman. ”
Duan Xing took out five thousand taels of silver tickets and distributed them to the two and said, "You can use this money first, and then go to the city to clean it up yourself." Tomorrow, this seat will still come here to look for the two of you, and then go down to Yangzhou together to find the killer. After speaking, Duan Xing didn't delay any longer, and turned around and left the quarry.
The two slowly stood up and glanced at each other, Liu Ruyan opened his mouth and said, "Brother Hongliang doesn't know what his plans are in the future?"
Tian Hongliang smiled and said: "'Femme fatale' don't want to trick Tian, Tian still wants to know, do you Liu Ruyan really surrender to His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Liu Ruyan put on a lazy look and replied: "The Lord's divine skills cover the world, the world is so big, how can it tolerate Ruyan." Besides, Ruyan's great hatred is still counting on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help. ”
"In this way, are you Liu Ruyan really desperately ready to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Tian Hongliang asked with bad intentions.
Liu Ruyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Could it be that Brother Hongliang has other ideas?"
"Let's not talk darkly, although the prince has some means, after all, the milk smell has not dried up, let me do it with him incognito, I really can't go down. ”
"Brother Hongliang, don't forget, the Lord can give you the Shaolin Seventy-two stunts of the two of you and me at will, which means that the Lord must have other exercises in his hands. Not to mention that you can learn other exercises from the Lord in the future, does Brother Hongliang think that if you take the master's mastery and escape, the master will be able to easily let you go?" Liu Ruyan asked secretly and vigilantly.
"Haha!" Tian Hongliang said: "The prince thinks he knows everything about you and me, how do you know that people's hearts are the most unpredictable, how can I, Tian Hongliang, a seven-foot man, listen to his call, I might as well tell you honestly, Tian is ready to go away, let him Dali prince have the ability to chase me to the ends of the earth? As for the martial arts, he was stupid and gave it to Tian, but it was not snatched by Tian. The eldest brother persuaded you, and you can follow the eldest brother, with your and my skills, it is not impossible to start a new stove in a different place. ”
Liu Ruyan flipped his palm, held a quenching needle, and said coldly: "It seems that the relationship between Ruyan and Brother Hongliang is about to be broken. But if you have the courage to ask Brother Hongliang to leave, hand over the secret book given by the Lord. Otherwise, Hugh blames him like a cigarette and doesn't know the face of his big brother. ”
Tian Hongliang's face changed for a moment, and he said, "You really didn't go with me, but were determined to follow that yellow-mouthed child?"
"Ruyan has died once when Zhao Yan was treacherous, and he was caught by the Lord and died again in the prison, and now the only hope for revenge is on the Lord, and he can't be destroyed by others, Tian Hongliang, you don't want to sow discord again, I advise you to quickly put down the secret book of the Lord and leave by yourself. When I see the Lord, maybe the old lady can help you say two good words. ”
"Liu Ruyan, don't be embarrassed, most of your internal strength has disappeared, Tian doesn't believe that you still have the ability to stop me. Tian Hongliang's palm faintly glowed black, which was the precursor of the iron sand palm that was about to be used.
Liu Ruyan put on an attack posture, and said in a more cold tone: "Believe it or not, you can try it." ”
After about ten seconds of confrontation, Tian Hongliang suddenly said again: "Don't be nervous, sister, big brother is just joking with you, since Tian has already told the lord about the empty matter, he hopes to make the master's Yanyu Building better, just now I just want to test what the sister thinks in her heart." ”
Liu Ruyan did not give up her guard, and said: "This is the best, I think that Brother Hongliang is not a person who does not know the current affairs, how can he rely on the Lord to be a street rat himself, and everyone shouts and beats it." ”
"That's nature. Tian Hongliang said with haha.
After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled, but there was no laughter, and each other had ghosts in their hearts, and no outsiders knew about it.
