553 [Reckless Means]
In the sixth year of Kaiping, on the 22nd day of the second lunar month, the sun rose three poles high.
The official road in the south of Kyoto is flat and wide, and there are many travelers on the road.
Gu Fan dressed up in a smart outfit and rode south alone, attracting countless gazes along the way. Beauty always attracts countless eyeballs, and so does a handsome man, and Gu Fan's appearance is almost the best Pei Yue has ever seen in his two lifetimes.
That, coupled with the unique temperament developed by his life experience and talent, will make him the focus of everyone's attention no matter where he goes.
However, one look at his outfit and the horse on his crotch showed that he was either rich or noble, and there was a long sword hanging on his waist. No one dared to provoke him along the way.
Gu Fan's face was calm, and the fierce murderous aura that even a blind man could feel before was gone.
He knew that the eyes staring at him along the way must be someone behind the scenes, but after a long conversation with Pei Yue last night, he fully understood the entire arrangement, and he was less worried about Nan Qin.
The anger generated became more determined and calm.
Pingyuan Town is located at the northern end of Yongzhou, and the straight-line distance between it and Kyoto is about a hundred miles. If you gallop on horseback, it only takes about an hour.
What's a little strange is that Gu Fan doesn't seem to be in a hurry. Although the speed is not slow, it is definitely not fast.
At noon, he finally arrived at Pingyuan Town and then turned east.
After another half an hour, a deserted and remote cemetery appeared in sight. This was the mass grave mentioned in the blackmail letter.
Gu Fan tightened the reins and did not rush in recklessly. Instead, he quietly observed the terrain in front of him.
The landform here is slightly complicated. Although there are no high mountains, it is surrounded by undulating hills and dense forests. There are countless trails in the wilderness, unless heavy troops ambush this place.
Surround them all, otherwise even dozens of people will disappear quickly without a trace. It can be seen that Pei Yue's previous judgment was very accurate, and this does look like a good place for transactions.
Gu Fan looked calm and approached slowly on horseback.
On a hill in the distance, two middle-aged men with ordinary faces stood.
Gu Fan subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword.
The other party obviously noticed his action, but their eyes didn't even waver, and they waited quietly for Gu Fan.
Gu Fan suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, stopped about ten feet away from them, and asked in a cold voice: "Where are the people?"
The man on the left said expressionlessly: "Master Gu, have you brought the banknote?"
Listening to their slightly harsh southeastern Qinzhou accent, Gu Fan couldn't help but sneer twice, then reached into his arms and took out a stack of banknotes, shaking them in the sunshine that covered the earth.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and then said: "Master Gu, please give me the banknote. We will send Miss Nanqin back to Beijing at noon tomorrow."
Although he hated this kind of communication, but thinking of Pei Yue's repeated instructions, Gu Fan could only suppress the anger in his heart and said slowly: "Hand the person with one hand and the money with the other."
The man immediately shook his head and said resolutely: "Master Gu, don't joke, you are one of the best in the world, and the Marquis Mansion has many personal guards. If we hand over Miss Nanqin now, where will there be a way to survive?"
Gu Fan said in a deep voice: "You should let me take a look at Nanqin even if you don't make friends with me. Otherwise, how can I trust you?"
There was a strange smile on the man's face, and he said condescendingly: "Master Gu, does he think he has other choices? If you don't hand over the banknote, Miss Nanqin will definitely die. She used to be the oiran who left the garden, regardless of her appearance.
Or she has a body like a fairy descended from the earth, how dare you waste such stunning beauty? Master Gu might as well guess what kind of service Miss Nanqin will enjoy before we kill her?"
I saw Gu Fan's right hand touch, but before the two of them could react, a stream of light pierced the void.
There was a sudden sound of wind, and the long sword was thrust straight into the space three feet in front of the two of them.
Gu Fan looked at them coldly and said word by word: "I will personally cut off every piece of your flesh, including your relatives."
The two of them were indeed shocked by this move at first, but they soon calmed down. The man on the right smiled strangely and said: "Master Gu, to tell you the truth, those of us who are making a living on the beach are all orphans. Although your threat is very powerful.
, but it really can’t scare us. I advise you not to be impulsive. Even if you can chop us into human sticks now, what about Miss Nanqin? Do you really want to see her being taken care of by hundreds of big men? I don’t know.
Can a delicate flower bear it?"
Gu Fan suddenly smiled at them.
The two of them felt a little strange. According to intelligence analysis, the fourth young master of the Gu family was impulsive and irritable. As long as he was provoked into chaos, the subsequent plan could be easily implemented.
But now it seems that this person doesn't look like that kind of brainless idiot?
However, a sudden change occurred at the next moment. Gu Fan jumped off his horse, and his movements were as fast as a meteor. In just a few ups and downs, he had already climbed the hill and arrived in front of the two of them.
Looking at his cold eyes, both of them felt that something was wrong, but it was impossible to run away at this time.
Gu Fan stepped forward slowly, reached out and pulled out his long sword, looked at the two of them and said: "There are people in this world who can control me, but it's probably not your turn to do such a thing."
"valley--"
Before the man on the right could say anything else, Gu Fan suddenly raised his foot and kicked him in the chest. Four of his ribs were broken in an instant, and his body collapsed to the ground like a broken piece of cotton wool.
The man on the left didn't dare to hesitate, stepped forward suddenly with his feet crossed, and punched Gu Fan's door.
Gu Fan seemed unaware and allowed the opponent to hit him. He just slightly adjusted the angle and let the opponent's fist hit his forehead.
Hearing a muffled sound, the man felt as if his right fist had hit a hard boulder, and two of his phalanges were instantly broken. The pain made him grimace and grimace.
Gu Fan smiled lightly, looked at him and said, "Your mouth was not particularly dirty just now, so you are very lucky today."
The man shouted with a fierce expression: "Gu Fan, do you really not care about Nan Qin's life or death?!"
"No need to scream, save some energy."
Gu Fan said casually, then he held his right wrist with his left hand, raised his foot and kicked the man under the armpit. He heard the man let out a shrill scream, and his right arm was already hanging down. It was obviously broken by Gu Fan.
He grabbed the unfortunate guy by the back of his neck and led him forward until he came to the side of the man who had been kicked away before. He then threw him to the ground and forced him to stare.
After doing this, Gu Fan held the long sword in his right hand, and then slowly inserted the tip of the sword into the thigh of the man who was kicked away. While listening to the other person's howl that echoed through the valley, he kept turning the long sword.
The middle-aged man whose right arm was torn off by him was watching from the side, with big beads of sweat on his face, and his eyes were extremely frightened.
After the man's cry gradually weakened, Gu Fan said slowly: "It is indeed courageous to threaten me in person, but you seem to have forgotten that courage always has to pay a price. No matter what the person behind you wants, the banknote
It’s still my Gu Fan’s head. Before seeing me with his own eyes, Nanqin was the only weight in his hand. You don’t naively think that because of your life and death, he will throw away the only weight before achieving his goal, right?
"
The expression of the middle-aged man sitting next to him changed drastically. Didn't he say that the young master of the Gu family was stupid? Why could he think of this crucial question?
Gu Fan glanced at the man lying on the ground with tears streaming down his face. He chuckled, then pulled out the long sword and slowly inserted it into the thigh of his left leg. Hearing the man's howl like a slaughtered pig,
He said meaningfully: "I'm just a reckless man, I don't understand the scheming, so I have to use this unscrupulous method to deal with you. Does it hurt? It hurts. Don't worry, it's just the beginning."
"Kill me! If you dare, kill me!"
"Hasn't your master checked that I, Gu Fan, never kill anyone?"
He showed a clean and pure smile, but this smile looked like a devil in the eyes of two middle-aged men.
Perhaps those who wanted to deal with him had considered all kinds of possibilities, except for one thing.
Gu Fan is Gu Liang's son. Regardless of whether he wants to kill someone or not, the blood of that unparalleled domineering man flows in his body. Even if such a person is just a reckless man, he is also the most terrifying reckless man in the world.
