Chapter 172 The rivers and lakes are too small

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "Girl, you are clearly scaring me? After that day, I was so scared that I didn't sleep well for several days, for fear that one day I would never open my eyes again."

The woman in purple said, "Don't gild your face. That night, my target was not you, but Yu Wenshuang. You are just a big shot."

Xiao Jinyan was quite speechless, "So, I should be grateful, why can't I be happy?"

Xiao Jinyan felt strange, how could the most assassin in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the dignified Prince Arrow come to the door at this critical moment? However, seeing her speaking expression, she didn't seem to be malicious, so she asked, "Girl, you haven't answered my question yet."

The woman in purple said, "As the saying goes, you can't get up early without profit. I'm looking for you to discuss a business with you."

"What business?"

"Someone spent a lot of money to take my friend Li Qingcheng's life. I was thinking, Mr. Li is a descendant of a famous family, and his family should be very rich. Will your conditions be better?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "You are so uncontracting!"

The woman in purple smiled and said, "Who will be unable to get along with the money?"

Xiao Jinyan asked again, "Then I have to know who wants Li Qingcheng's life?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why?"

"I am an assassin, and I have to abide by the spirit of the contract."

Xiao Jinyan was speechless. The young master of arrow was obviously just quibbling, but he thought it made sense. He asked, "What conditions do you want?"

The woman in purple said, "Your trip to Yin Yang will have 30% of the profits of the goods on the car."

Xiao Jinyan smiled slightly, "I just want to buy Li Qingcheng for a lifetime because of a few thousand taels of silver. I don't know if it's because the name Li Qingcheng is worthless, or because your business is in a downturn recently?"

"That's not." The woman said, "because the bidder told me that the person I was going to kill was Tang Erbao, and he did not tell me his true identity. I usually don't take such orders, but it just happened to be the way to make some pocket money."

Xiao Jinyan almost sprayed a mouthful of tea.

He looked at the woman in purple and said, "This condition is very attractive, but you miscalculated one thing."

"What's up?"

Xiao Jinyan put down the teacup, locked the woman in purple with string power, secretly gathered her skills, and said slowly, "You are an assassin. If you hide in the dark and secretly cast cold arrows, maybe we can't do anything about it. But you came to the door openly, and it's a bit too much."

The woman in purple looked fearless and played with the teacup in her hand, saying lightly, "You can try it."

An alarm came suddenly.

Xiao Jinyan felt a trembling heart, and four arrows locked him. He could feel danger, but the string force extended outwards, but he did not sense the position of the archer hidden in the dark. He was shocked and sweated. This feeling was too strong, as if as long as he moved around, four arrows would shoot at him.

Could it be that this person is not Master Jian, but just a substitute of Master Jian? I just took it for granted to associate this person with Master Jian because I was familiar with this feeling?

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "What are you trying? They are all children of the world. Come and have a tea!"

The woman in purple said, "What are you thinking about this deal?"

"I'm afraid I can't make the decision yet, so I might as well go back and ask my friends and give you another answer. How about it?"

"I don't have time."

Xiao Jinyan gave a thumbs up, "Miss is really happy. This matter is settled, but we have stated in advance that we have no money now, and we will settle the goods after we take action."

"make a deal."

The woman in purple waved her hand and the arrow surrounding Xiao Jinyan was completely gone. Xiao Jinyan felt the pressure suddenly decreased and breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up and bowed to say goodbye.

After he left, a maid walked up to the woman in purple, "Young master, why didn't that boy kill him?"

The woman in purple said, "Recently, our Divine Arrow Sect has made too many enemies in the world. There is no need to provoke Dengwenyuan. Besides, he is very likely to have the whereabouts of the martial arts scriptures. If we have a relationship with him, maybe things will turn around."

She remembered that not long ago, she met a master from the martial arts world. When she was seeking guidance, the man pointed out that the person who broke the situation in the Divine Arrow Sect was among Xiao Jinyan and his party. Because of this, she took the initiative to find Xiao Jinyan. As for someone to pay for the assassination of Li Qingcheng, it was purely a matter of nothing.

However, in order to achieve her goal, a stone fell into the ground in her heart and sighed, "It's really a troublesome." The woman in purple drank the last cup of tea, made up the tea money, and took her maid away from the tea shop.

Xiao Jinyan returned to the inn and told the two about the encounter with Prince Arrow. Li Qingcheng said strangely, "The Divine Arrow Sect is very famous in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He has always been calm in his work and almost never fails. How could he take the initiative to come to discuss business? The key is that you also agreed to their conditions!"

Xiao Jinyan said, "The world's number one archer is eyeing you and wants to take your life. I will save your life. Not only do you not be grateful, but you also question my purpose. You are not kind."

Zhao Langjiang sneered, "Based on my years of experience, I guess you think that girl is beautiful and provoked by someone you take the initiative to provoke."

Xiao Jinyan asked angrily, "Am I such a person?"

The two of them said in unison, "Yes."

Xiao Jinyan was speechless, "Just pretend I didn't ask."

...

After nightfall, three fast horses arrived at the gate of Yangtouyi. The three people on the horse were wearing black cloaks, their faces were covered with dust and their faces were exhausted, and they seemed to have been rushing a long way.

Yangtouyi is just a small town. Although there are no city walls, there are wooden fences around it and tangled with iron caltrops. At night, there are soldiers patrolling. Unless a martial arts master is master, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter.

One of the men in black stepped forward and slapped the door, smashing the post gate so loudly.

Several gatekeepers were dozing off. The sound of smashing the door shocked Mei Meng. One of them lost money after betting and was still unlucky. They stood up and said, "What are you taking a photo? You are going to attend the funeral!"

The man in black said, "We have something to do to enter the post."

The soldier said, "When is it? If there is something to do, it will be a curfew. Besides, the war is in chaos now. If it is your spies from Xichu, who will be responsible for any incident?"

The man in black was furious when he heard this. He was about to take action, but was stopped by a middle-aged man behind him. He drove his horse to the door, turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile, "I understand your rules. The official is very capable, and there will always be a solution, right?"

This sentence fell into the ears of the soldiers, and it was very helpful to hear it. I thought that I lost three taels of silver tonight and that when I returned tomorrow, I might have to be slandered by the stinky woman. The three of them happened to be delivered to the door, so I would rather kill them hard. So I said, "There is no way, but if you blame this for the blame, I am afraid we will take responsibility."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Then tell me how to count."

The soldier said, "If you want to enter the city, everyone will have to pay three taels of silver. You three will get nine. The weather is good tonight, so I will give you a discount and get a whole, ten taels of silver!"

The middle-aged man nodded, "Not many."

After saying that, he took out a red sign from his arms and handed it over.

The soldier took it and saw that it was not silver, but a piece of wood. He was about to curse, but suddenly glanced at the sign with an eagle that was about to fly on the front, and the six big words "The Great Governor's Office of the West" were written on the north. He was shocked and frightened, his face pale, his knees softened, and he fell to the ground.

"The villain has no idea that the Grand Commander has arrived in person and has hit the adults. He also asks the adults to punish him!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I am just a servant in the Grand Governor's Mansion. Little brother, can we go in?"

How dare this soldier stop him? The fourth-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, the largest official in the entire Yangtou Post Office was only Yang Yicheng, a ninth-rank official. From the officialdom, he was not at all. This middle-aged man seemed peaceful, but if he was really angry, killing himself was like killing an ant, and he quickly ordered someone to move the railing and hold his horse off, kneel on the ground to send three people into the post.

When he entered the city, the man in black said in confusion, "Master, as our identity, if you encounter such a person who is ignorant of being ruthless, you will just kill him with one knife. Why should you be polite to him?"

The middle-aged man said, "When you go out, harmony is the most important thing, compassion is the best. Killing one less person is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This time we are doing things as people in the world, so why bother causing trouble to the Grand Superintendent?"

The man in black was silent when he heard this.

When the big manager said this, he pretended to be like this, and he didn't believe the ghost theory of "harmony is the most important and compassion is the most important".

He entered the Grand Governor's Office for a short time, but from the ears of others, he knew that the gentle butler Yuwen Gui in front of him, when he was massacred in Dingzhou twenty years ago, he led 30 people to slaughter three streets within two days. His methods were so cruel that even Sun Wuzong could not reach it.

The man in black is called Yu Xiang, and the other is called Yu Yang. Both of them are the eighteen adopted sons accepted by Yu Wen Tianlu. They have received training from Yu Wen Tianlu in the mansion since childhood and are considered his dead soldiers.

This time, Yu Xiang and Yu Yang followed Butler Yu Wen and were ordered by the commander of the Grand Governor to come for a secret mission. On the second day of the second month, they set out from the capital and slept in the open all the way. More than a dozen horses died before they arrived at the Sheep Head Office.

Yuwen Gui and the other two did not go to the inn, but went to an inconspicuous mansion in the northwest corner of the town.

This is one of the private property of the Yuwen family. There are hundreds of private residences like this in the world. They are mainly used for collecting information by the Yuwen family and are called "Bimu". Yuwen Gui, as the steward of the Yuwen family, was the person who founded this "Bimu".

Everyone knows that after Yuwen Tianlu seized power, he established Yixiaotang, but few people know that he also has an organization called Bimu. Compared with Yixiaotang, "Bimu" is Yuwen Tianlu's direct lineage.

The lights were brightly lit in the mansion, and there were already more than a dozen people waiting in the lobby, with a cold expression, as if they were like a group of sculptures, and they did not move. When they saw Yuwen Gui coming in, they all stood up.

"Kanto Sword Zhang Jiushui has met the butler!"

"I have met the butler after meeting the Xiangyang Nine Swords Qu!"

"Fu Qingquan, the elder of the Huashan Sect's precepts, has met the butler!"

Everyone saluted, and these people had different identities, some were famous sects, some were thieves, and some were unknown in the world, but without exception, they were all top experts in the world.

At this time, two people stood up from the crowd and said, "The two eagles in Mobei, realgar, have you seen the butler!"

Yuwen Gui frowned, "Why are you two here?"

...

Yangtouyi, a small town, suddenly so many masters from the world have poured into it.
