() Chen Yunsheng took out five taels of broken silver from his arms, handed it to Zhao Rui, and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, please find some people to clean up these things at the door."
Zhao Rui stared blankly at the young boss who acted unexpectedly, and murmured: "We can just take care of it ourselves. With so many servants, why should we look for others?"
At this time, Chen Yunsheng had already walked around the teahouse with everyone, and it seemed that he did not hear his whisper. Zhao Rui shook his head, secretly sighing that Chen Yunsheng would not live a long life, kicked away a rotten vegetable leaf, and went to the east city gate to find someone who was idle.
Back in the house, Chen Yunsheng looked at the expressionless Yu Chixue and said, "I won't restrict your actions tonight. You can do whatever you want, just don't let others notice."
"Wordy." Yuchixue rolled her eyes at him and said angrily.
Chen Yunsheng knew that he was dissatisfied with him in his heart. If he hadn't stopped Yu Chixue that day, nothing would have happened today. He was not angry at the moment, and leisurely returned to his room to practice Qi. The sunny weather in the season is very pleasant.
The warm spring breeze blew people to sleep. Although it was early in the morning, the expressions of the pedestrians on the road were drowsy, as if they had not fully awakened from the good dream last night.
The east gate of Tianshui City usually gathers many business people, and naturally there are also many porters and coolies waiting for business here. Because Xiliang Kingdom is adjacent to Pilu Kingdom to the east, the people there are simple, and the king is not good at conquest, so he has always been with Xiliang Kingdom.
They live in harmony. The Xiliang Kingdom exchanges various animal skins, herbs, metals, and various mineral deposits produced by the Tianqiong Mountains for spices, jewelry, and various armors and weapons from the Pilu Kingdom.
Today, a traveling team of businessmen arrived at the east gate of Tianshui City at dawn under the stars all night long. The group was dusty with travel, and their faces were full of exhaustion. On the towering gate tower, the soldiers had not yet begun to patrol.
, the guard guarding the gate frowned, and while cursing, he opened the gate of the East City. With a sharp creaking sound, the one-foot-thick copper-clad gate was pushed open by ten strong men.
As usual, the merchant team gave the gatekeeper a hundred large coins as travel expenses. The leading merchant was smiling all over his face, and the veteran gatekeeper looked greedy and kept looking at the bulging goods. A group of ten
The rest of the team filed through the door, passing five people one by one. The sixth person suddenly shouted: "Why is it raining despite the clear sky?"
The leading businessman snorted and muttered: "Xiao Liuzi, why are you so crazy? Why is it raining in the city cave? If you say it's more mysterious, why don't you say there are dead people in the city gate cave? Give me some more strength, we're here
I’ll give you an extra day’s salary.”
Before he finished speaking, he heard Xiao Liuzi shouting loudly, his voice was like killing a pig, which alarmed everyone. People gradually gathered around, and the leader of the businessman said displeased: "What are you shouting? It's like a dead person."
Xiao Liuzi's face turned pale and he began to vomit. The crowd helped him up for some unknown reason, and the leading businessman asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Could it be that you caught the wind and cold last night?"
"No, no, that, that's not rain, it's blood." Xiao Liuzi pointed to the top of his head and stammered.
Everyone looked up and looked into the doorway. Their faces were as pale as white paper. It turned out that there were more than thirty heads hanging densely on the top of the doorway. The hair of these people was nailed into the cracks in the bricks at the top of the doorway, and their faces were
The ears, nose and facial features were all dug out, leaving only a few empty black holes.
The remaining black blood flowed down the frizzy hair and just dripped on Xiao Liuzi's face. The gatekeepers also rushed over after hearing the sound. When they saw the tragic scene above their heads, they were so frightened that they could not speak.
, a young sergeant who had never seen a dead person suddenly sat on the ground in fear. When he was holding on to the wall and trying to stand up, he suddenly felt that his tentacles were a little soft.
Turning his head to look, he found a round eye staring at him. The eye was mounted on the wall by something unknown. The white part of the eye was covered with bloodshot eyes, and it was full of resentment. Looking aside, he saw every
Several tongues, ears and other facial features were embedded every few steps. The blood on them had dried and was similar to the color of the wall. It was impossible to tell without looking carefully. Several young porters and soldiers could not bear the fright and hurriedly retreated to the
Outside the city gate, people holding on to the wall began to vomit, their clothes soaked with sweat.
…
After Chen Yunsheng finished breathing, he felt that his body was full of spiritual energy, soul power, and magnetism, and he was in excellent condition. Since his fight with Jin Guang, he had practiced a thousand miles a day, and he had accumulated many things that he could not break through with hard work.
The bottleneck was actually broken through within a few days. Coupled with the timely replenishment of spirit millet during the day, I could faintly feel the looming peak of the golden elixir's early stage.
Chen Yunsheng knew that just by looking at the top, there was still a long way to go before he could touch the existence of that layer, and it was even further away from breaking through. He pushed open the door and let the spring breeze outside the door blow on his face.
He packed up the futon under his feet and walked to the courtyard with light steps.
Although the small courtyard is not big, it has cultivated many plants. In a flowerbed, there is already a large area of green. There are also many flowers that cannot bear the loneliness and bloom buds in a hurry. The smell of green grass, flowers and freshly turned earth are mixed together.
It made him feel comfortable in his chest and abdomen.
At this moment, Yu Chixue walked out of the door like a ghost, and unexpectedly nodded his head. Chen Yunsheng asked curiously: "Why did you stay for so long last night? It took a full hour. Could it be that you
Take the neighbors who are being coerced..."
"Of course not. Do you think I am a murderer? I have always been restrained and cautious. I am a very competent assassin, but I am not someone who likes to kill." Yu Chixue said expressionlessly. But Chen Yunsheng
I always feel that there is an unreal smile in these words.
"Then why have you been there for so long? I feel like you are very happy." Chen Yunsheng questioned.
Yuchixue snorted and came to the courtyard. The sky has come and everything has revived. Don’t you think this is something worth being happy about?"
"Is hanging a human head in the doorway what you call restraint?" A woman's voice suddenly sounded in the yard. The two turned around and saw a woman with delicate features standing under a flower tree.
, is somewhat similar to Fang Minglan, but this woman has a bit more gloominess between her eyes and eyebrows.
Chen Yunsheng was very surprised. There had never been anyone who could sneak in under his nose. If the woman had attacked him just now, she would have probably injured herself. Yu Chixue was even more surprised, because
The woman appeared in the direction he was facing, and she really appeared under his nose. This was like a blow to the head for an assassin who relied on hiding.
"Who are you?" the two people asked in unison.
"Hey, what's the matter, did you scare two people who like to torture and kill? It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is what I want to do. Do you want to know?" the petite woman said half-jokingly.
"certainly"
Chen Yunsheng replied, with a hint of murderous intent in his tone, and his hands were gradually filled with magnetic lines.
"But why do I feel that you want to kill me?" the petite woman said with a pout, her look was one part charming and one part ghostly.
Chen Yunsheng gradually loosened his half-clasped fingers and said coldly: "No matter who you are, tell me your purpose, and I can guarantee that you will get out of this yard alive."
"What's the point of walking out alive? Those boys in red clothes were tortured to death by your brother in black clothes yesterday. I was horrified when I saw it last night. He actually dug out their eyes and tongues and nailed them to the east gate.
"I really admire this man's patience, perseverance and imagination." The woman's sharp-tongued mouth kept crackling like she was pouring beans.
Chen Yunsheng glanced at Yuchixue and felt a little unhappy. Although he instructed Yuchixue to get rid of the Ax Gang, this method was too vicious and inconsistent with his temperament.
Yuchixue looked at this petite woman in horror. He could ignore Chen Yunsheng's hidden anger, but he could not hide his shock at the woman's sudden appearance.
The scene was tense for a while, and Chen Yunsheng pulled out his two swords and said expressionlessly: "Although I don't agree with his approach, it doesn't mean that I can accept your pretentiousness. If you have nothing to say, I will take action."
.”
The blue electric light quietly covered the blade, like a layer of magnificent patterns. Even though it was daytime, it still pierced people's eyes. The petite woman's face changed slightly, and she said seriously: "I didn't expect you have such a bad temper.
, It’s not that I’m afraid of you, it’s just that when I go out, my master strictly orders me not to conflict with you. My master wants to see you.”
"See me?" Chen Yunsheng pointed at his nose and said.
"That's right, I just want to see you, Chen Yunsheng." The petite woman called out his name clearly.
"Where?" Chen Yunsheng asked cautiously.
"Tumi Lane in the south of the city, I believe you are familiar with that place." The woman said with profound meaning.
Looking at her eyes, Chen Yunsheng nodded and said, "I will definitely visit your master, but only when I am free."
The petite woman sneered and said: "You are indeed very thoughtful. I am afraid that my master will secretly set an ambush to trick you. Whatever, you can go whenever you want. My errand has been completed, so I won't accompany you."
Already."
After that, the woman gradually blended into the flower tree and disappeared, leaving only a scent that did not belong to this yard. Chen Yunsheng's original good mood was broken and he became a little depressed. He turned his head and saw Yuchi, who was also sullen.
Xue suddenly remembered what the woman said just now, and asked with a dark face: "Is what she said true?"
Yuchixue nodded disdainfully: "So what?"
"In my opinion, people can only have two states: dead and alive. If they are already dead, why do you have to do these things? It would be too cruel." Chen Yunsheng expressed his opinion directly. For people like Yu Chixue, any detours are unnecessary.
