Xu Bai stopped and looked around.

People were coming and going on the street, all busy with their own business, and no one noticed what was going on here.

After making sure that no one was there, he picked up the envelope from the floor and returned to the house.

"Is there someone delivering a love letter to me so early in the morning?" Xu Bai whispered and opened the envelope.

Inside the envelope was clean white paper with the words "dog crawl" written all over it.

As the saying goes, words are like people.

The first time Xu Bai saw this word, he felt uncomfortable all over.

It's ugly, very ugly.

It's like it's pieced together, and if it weren't for the writing on it, I wouldn't be able to recognize the content.

Is this post-modern style popular these days?

Even if you don’t want people to recognize your handwriting, you shouldn’t write in such a stupid way.

It can even affect appetite.

It was early in the morning, and Xu Bai's good mood for the day was gone.

Fortunately, he had strong self-control, so he endured the discomfort and read the letter from beginning to end.

The first sentence at the beginning gives me an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

"Sir, you don't want others to know about your affairs."

etc!

Xu Bai raised his head suddenly.

If he hadn't been in the Great Chu Kingdom, he would have thought someone had traveled through time just like him.

Forget it, keep reading.

"More than a dozen people died. Your sword skills are indeed superb. In fact, someone is already watching you, but luckily, I managed to hide it for you."

Did you hide it?

Xu Bai touched his chin, it seemed that this person's purpose was not simple.

"Tonight at midnight, we will meet at the blacksmith shop."

At this point, the content of the letter is complete.

Xu Bai put the letter on the table and sighed.

It's inexplicable why he still threatens me like this.

This is just like a robber kidnapping a hostage. After demanding ransom, he must also break the banknote.

Only a fool would believe it.

"I shouldn't have any flaws, except for using a knife." Xu Bai thought for a moment and tapped the table with his hand: "By the way, there are still wounds."

At this time, Xu Bai checked carefully and finally found something abnormal.

There is no absolutely perfect scene in this world, and he finally thought of a loophole.

Hidden weapon wounds.

"Sure enough, I'm still new to the world, so next time I'll be set on fire." Xu Bai said secretly.

He learned a lesson from the experience and thought that if he had a chance next time, he would just burn it with fire.

"The blacksmith shop is greedy." Xu Bai read the letter again before burning it.

At that time, he gave them money to keep them quiet, but now they are threatening him.

The sunshine outside the window was very warm. Xu Bai was holding the ghost head knife, but his heart was cold.

After all, he came from a time of peace, and for once, Xu Bai softened his heart towards ordinary people.

"After this time, we can't be soft-hearted."

His voice sounded in the dark room, and his mentality was changing.

…

At night.

Accompanied by the sound of the gong, Xu Bai opened the door of the room and walked into the dark street.

He was still wearing ordinary clothes, still carrying a ghost-headed sword around his waist, walking on the street, looking at the deserted streets, walking around the winding roads, and finally stopped in front of a shop.

At this moment, the store has turned off the lights.

Xu Bai raised his foot and kicked the door open.

Inside the store, it was dark.

As the door was kicked open, the oil lamp inside was lit.

The lights are dim and the light and shadow are mottled.

"I knew you would come." The landlady and the blacksmith sat on their chairs, waiting leisurely.

Xu Bai walked into the room and sneered: "Since you know I can guess it, why bother taking off your pants and farting like that?"

"I'm just asking for a fortune," the landlady said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, there was sarcasm in his eyes.

I have already asked you to enter the urn, but the man in front of you is still very calm.

Pretended?

Maybe so.

But no matter what, money is necessary.

"I won't say anything unnecessary. We only need money. Besides, don't even think about taking action. We still have people here. As long as something happens to us, he will report it to the official as soon as possible." The landlady spread her hands and said.

Threats, coupled with telling her own back-up plan, combined, the boss lady believed that the other party would not remain indifferent.

After all, these days, although Shengxian is a mess, you still have to eat the meat that comes to your mouth.

Xu Bai threw down a piece of silver.

The silver fell to the ground and spun around several times.

The room fell silent.

Veins popped up on the boss's forehead: "Are you giving away a piece of silver to a beggar? When you were making iron beads, you were very generous and didn't even blink an eye."

"Who would bring a lot of money with them?" Xu Bai held the handle of the Ghost Head Dao and said, "Can you?"

"What do you mean?" Beside him, the blacksmith asked angrily.

"I have a hundred ingots of silver, but I buried them in a very secret place. If you don't give me time, how can I get them?" Xu Bai raised a finger.

As soon as these words came out, the landlady and the blacksmith looked at each other.

"Okay, we'll give you another day."

Soon, the landlady spoke.

When things got to this point, she thought Xu Bai was incapable of playing tricks.

First, when Xu Bai came in, she made it clear that there was another person cooperating with them. If Xu Bai took action, the matter would be exposed.

This step alone can stop Xu Bai from murdering people and silencing them.

Secondly, neither of them are vegetarians.

If he hadn't been wanted by the Yamen, he would have even wanted to kill someone and steal goods.

Of course, they won't do this now because Xu Bai still has money hidden away.

"That's good. I will bring the money over in one day." Xu Bai nodded, turned around and prepared to leave.

Throughout the whole process, he didn't say a harsh word or even make a rebuttal.

Things went smoothly and unexpectedly.

"By the way, are you two from Jianghu?" Xu Bai suddenly turned his head and asked.

The sudden question made the landlady stunned, and she nodded subconsciously.

"That's good. Jianghu people should also be moral. I will use money to eliminate disasters in this matter." Xu Bai said the last sentence, turned and left.

The night was getting darker and Xu Bai's figure disappeared into the night.

After Xu Bai left, the blacksmith shop fell into silence again.

The landlady didn't speak, as if she was thinking about something.

At this time, the blacksmith spoke first.

"I felt very uneasy. His last look before he left made me feel like my hair was standing on end."

Thinking of that dull look in his eyes, the blacksmith's heart went crazy.

"But he didn't show any resentment, not even anger." The landlady frowned.

"I remember a saying, emotions are like swords, they hurt others and themselves. Those who can hide their emotions are the ones who wield the sword." The blacksmith stood up and waved his hand vigorously: "No matter what, after getting the money, you must kill

As long as you do it cleanly, you won't attract people from the Yamen."

"Before that, follow closely." the landlady added.

The two reached an agreement and nodded in unison.

"Even if he is an eighth-level martial artist, with you here, you can still restrain him, especially his hidden weapons." The proprietress leaned on the blacksmith with a big smile.
