Chapter 83 The old man is not deceived
When Li Dioudi wanted to ride a donkey and follow him, he jumped off the donkey and saluted, and there was a very delicate little movement under his feet.
He kicked the empty wine pot and a blood-wiping bandage into the grass behind him. When he pretended to be a donkey, he accidentally staggered and successfully deceived General Luo Geng and his son Luo Jing.
Otherwise, Luo Geng would not have had the following sentence, looking at this young man quite simple.
In other words, Li Dioudiu did not hear this. If he heard it, he would probably sincerely praise the general. What blinded your eyes but made you look like a torch.
He waited for the hundreds of riders to roar away, and he opened the money that Luo Geng gave him in a very small family, sat cross-legged on the ground, counted it twice very seriously, and it was as much as fifty or sixty taels.
Happy and happy.
Li Dioudiu didn't know how much a war horse was worth. If he knew it, he wouldn't be so happy. The value of twenty or thirty war horses was not comparable to fifty or sixty taels of silver.
He had earned fifty or sixty taels before at Yunzhai Teahouse, but at this time he had fifty or sixty taels. Adding to the 100 taels from his master, isn’t it too far from being able to buy a house?
He had more than 1,000 taels of silver bills in his arms. If he had the idea of taking even 100 taels from these bills at this time, the matter of buying a house could basically be handled, but Li Dioudiu would not have such thoughts.
Because he was happy to get the money, Li Dioudiu became more handsome when he saw the donkey. Although he had the urge to eat it for a moment, the little donkey in Li Dioudiu's eyes was now on the slightest fishing of donkey meat.
Riding on the little donkey and wiggling the pony whip, the donkey ran as light as a gust of wind.
Li Dioudi felt that the sound of the donkey's hooves falling to the ground was so beautiful. Life was like the outlines of the mountains in the distance, with ups and downs.
Meanwhile, Jizhou City.
The long-browed Taoist crawled out of a pile of firewood and looked out. The suspicious people had already walked away. He patted the soil on his body, thinking that the inn should not be able to live in before.
Just as he continued to set up a stall at the entrance, with his eyesight, he saw a group of people who must have been in bad intentions. He had never experienced anything in the world for so many years, especially his observation of the surrounding environment, and he had reached the level of the old fox among the old foxes.
So he didn't even clean up the divination stall. It was not worth it anyway. If he had a hundred taels of silver bills in his arms, he wouldn't have anything else.
He turned around and entered the inn, ran to the kitchen without saying a word, and turned out from the kitchen window and started running wildly. After running two streets, he saw a familiar place... the pile of firewood he had slept with Li Dioudiu.
So the Changmei Taoist got in. Before he could wait, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps passing by. After waiting for a while, he didn't see any movement before he came out.
The first thing he did was not to want to hide somewhere, but to think he should go to Siyi Academy.
However, he didn't dare to go during the day. First, he was worried that if he went, he would cause trouble for Li Dioudi, and second, he felt that there might be someone waiting outside Siyi Academy.
He had no one to seek help in this Jizhou city. He didn't want to implicate others before he couldn't figure out where the person he was looking for. So he thought for a moment and decided to go to Fengming Mountain.
It is the best place to hide in Jizhou City. The mountains are not high but the forests are dense. Although there are people from Taoist temples guarding the intersection of the mountain, the old Taoist feels that it is not difficult to sneak into the forest with his own ability.
Just as he was thinking about these things and preparing to leave, he suddenly heard someone sneering from the high place.
"The way of a gangster in the world is to be a slut."
This sentence scared the long-browed Taoist so much that he couldn't help but tremble. He looked up at the height and saw a young man sitting on the wall behind him.
The man was wearing a snow-white long gown and a folding fan in his hand. He was about twenty-six or seven years old. He had a handsome face but looked feminine. Especially the white face seemed to have applied three pounds of white face, but his lips were red and seemed to have just drunk blood.
"Who are you?"
The long-browed Taoist asked with a calm question.
"My surname is Yao, a person who is willing to do anything as long as someone gives you money. This is a promotional phrase. What I think about it myself?"
The young man looked at Changmei and said, "Although I don't know why you are worth 200 taels of silver, since someone has made a offer, I'm here. There is good news and bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear?"
The long-browed Taoist smiled bitterly and said, "Who wants to hear bad news?"
The young man said: "The good news is that the person who bids to hire me said he must bring you back alive, and the bad news is... He just said he was alive, but he didn't say that he was alive."
After saying this, he floated down from the high wall and walked towards the long-browed Taoist: "I have about seven steps to walk to you. If you can bid more than 200 taels, I can let you go for an hour."
The long-browed Taoist sighed, thinking that it was really a coincidence.
So he turned around and ran wildly.
But he turned around and ran out for two or three steps away. A severe pain came from behind, as if something had tear open his flesh and blood and directly grabbed his spine.
In fact, it is indeed the case.
The young man caught up with the Changmei Taoist in just two steps, stretched out his left hand and grabbed it. Five fingers held the flesh on the Changmei Taoist's back. With the exertion of force, all five fingers were sunken in, and they snatched the Changmei Taoist's spine tightly.
These five fingers were clenched with the bones of long eyebrows, and the necks of long eyebrows were stretched straight, and the eyes were turned up and they could not move.
"Look, so disobedient."
The young man said with some regret: "In order for you to stop running away, I will break your legs and arms now. Although it will be a little tired to carry you back, I can try to ask if the person who hired me can increase the price."
The long-browed Taoist said with difficulty: "No need to beat me, I can follow you. I want to know...ah, who hired you to catch me."
"Answer a question, one tael of silver is worth a fair price."
The young man smiled and said, "My name is Yao Wuhen. You have heard of it?"
The long-browed Taoist said, "No..."
The young man said: "It doesn't matter. I am the one who is determined to be the number one killer in the world. Although you have never heard of me now, you... Damn, you are going to die, and you probably won't know that I will become the number one killer in the world in the future."
He was actually a little disappointed.
The long-browed Taoist thought for a moment and said, "I have a silver note of 100 taels in my arms. You just said that if I have more than 200 taels, I can run for an hour first, can I let 100 taels go for half an hour first?"
He realized that this young man named Yao Wuhen was not normal, and he wouldn't have told him so much if he was normal, so he just wanted to give it a try.
Yao Wuhen immediately let go of his hand and became polite in his speech.
"Give money to the customer is the customer's request, and you must not ignore the customer's request."
Yao Wuhen stretched out his hand: "One hundred taels, half an hour, no less than one breath, no more, no more."
The long-browed Taoist turned around and looked at Yao Wuhen. He knew that he could never be the opponent of the young man, so he took out the one hundred taels of silver notes without hesitation. Yao Wuhen took the silver notes and checked them carefully, and nodded after confirming that they were not fake.
He jumped up and sat down on the wall, took a simple hourglass from his arms and put it aside.
"Half an hour, let's start."
After hearing this, Taoist Changmei turned around and ran away. He was old and had a great impact on his spine just now, so he ran a little tilted and hit the wall next to him.
The long-browed Taoist endured the pain and continued to run forward. This half hour was life and death.
Yao Wuhen sat on the wall and watched Changmei run away. He was a man who claimed to be innocent. Of course, what he promised for confiscation of cash is not counted, but as long as he received the money promised, he never regretted it.
The hourglass flowed silently beside Yao Wuhen. Yao Wuhen took out a paper bag from his arms and opened it carefully like a treasure. There was only a piece of leftover crispy cake inside.
Taoist Changmei ran and stumbled all the way. He didn't know where he could go. Although the other party did not answer who sent him, he could probably guess that he was from the government, so Changmei didn't dare to go to the government.
As he ran, he suddenly looked up and saw a high wall and green tiles in the distance. He had never been here before. He had only one thought in his mind that he would run to a crowded place for the time being. No matter how fierce the killer was, he should not dare to catch people in full view of everyone.
He ran to the outside of the high gate courtyard in one breath, and several servants wearing blue clothes and soap boots at the door reached out and stopped him.
"Don't get close to the important place of the royal palace."
"The Prince's Mansion?"
The long-browed Taoist looked up and saw a line of big words beside the door at a glance. Suddenly, he was like a person who fell into the water seeing a floating wooden board. He knelt down with a plop, not asking for any dignity, but only asking for life.
"I'll tell you, I'm a former friend of the prince. Someone is chasing me. I'll ask the prince to save my life."
"The prince's old friend?"
One of the servants looked at him and it was not difficult for him. He just asked him to wait at the door and said, "If you are really a prince's old friend, no one dares to touch you even if you are only at this door."
After saying that, the servant turned around and entered the door. The Changmei Taoist prayed uncontrollably, thinking that Prince, although he only had one-time friends, I hope you can come out to see me.
He was thinking too much. With Prince Yu's identity, how could he easily come out to meet people even if he was in the palace?
So when the clerk came out and told him that the prince would not come out, Taoist Changmei felt that the world suddenly became much darker.
He has rich experience in the martial arts world, but in the face of absolute strength gap, these experiences may not be as effective as kneeling down and begging for mercy.
"The prince is in the mansion, let me take you in."
The servants didn't understand why this Taoist looked desperate. In his opinion, it would be normal for the prince not to come out. The Taoist Changmei was already anxious and confused, thinking that if the prince did not come out, he would be helpless.
“Yes, yes, yes…”
The Taoist Changmei seemed to have experienced the two levels of ice and fire at that moment, and immediately got up and followed the servants into the gate of the palace.
No more or less. Half an hour later, Yao Wuhen appeared at the gate of the palace. No clue could be hidden from his eyes, so he chased him without wasting an atmosphere.
Looking up at the plaque of Prince Yu's Mansion, Yao Wuhen said that this was a little troublesome.
But he is not afraid of trouble.
He has to finish the money after collecting other people's money, and he has to finish the things no matter how difficult it is. This is the most important purpose that a killer should uphold.
Yao Wuhen felt that he was really a trustworthy person.
