The female assassin was new to the world, but Xia Shang was an experienced actor. After a few words, the blade on his neck gradually loosened.
"Remembering that what you did in the house before was still a gentleman, I will trust you for once today."
After saying that, the woman took back the knife and turned around to leave.
Xia Shang had a kind thought in his heart. He didn't want anyone to lose his life for no reason, so he called out hurriedly: "Are you going to kill someone?"
The woman in black stopped for a moment and snorted: "Of course."
"Kill the leader?"
"That's right."
"You're just going to die."
"If what you said is true, and all my companions died at his hands, this revenge must be avenged."
"Compared with those people, who has better kung fu?"
"Except for my senior brother, I am a bit better than everyone else."
"How powerful is it? I saw it with my own eyes today. The leader is so strong and invulnerable that your companions cannot take a single move from him. Including your senior brother, do you think you can defeat him?"
"Even if it means death, I will fight hard."
"It's not easy for you to be born, so why are you rushing to die?"
"The bandit leader of this water village has done many evil things. In the martial arts world, all the warriors are eager to eat his flesh and skin."
"That's why?"
"Why else?"
"Do you have any grudge against the leader here?"
"What kind of hatred do you need to do justice for heaven?"
Xia Shang was silent, thinking that there are still such idiots in this era? Can they be called chivalrous and righteous? Are they willing to risk their lives just to do justice for heaven?
Inexplicably, Xia Shang was a little annoyed.
But at this moment, Qian Qian made a few beeps, brought a glass of water, and a note with four words on it: "Good man, let's go."
The woman in black was moved after seeing it. She took off her scarf to reveal a young but handsome face. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the water brought by Qian Qian. She put away the knife and held it in hand, then drank it in one gulp: "Thank you, girl, for the tip."
, but I, Shang Rong, have decided to kill me. Even if I die, I will not lose my loyalty."
"You are so loyal!" Xia Shang couldn't bear to curse.
Shang Rong looked aside: "What do you mean?"
"You have a good life, and you are going to die like this, and you still claim to be loyal?"
"you……"
"It's not me, me, me, but you. Do you know what loyalty is and what righteousness is? Your mother gave you life in extremely painful circumstances, but you don't want to be grateful. You went out to wander the world at a young age, abandoning your parents and friends.
You don't care about them and don't understand how they miss you. When you are wandering away, you are not thinking about how to live a better life and not let your family worry about you. Instead, you are thinking about nonsense like chivalry and righteousness. You know you are going to die. You are dead.
It's all over. I pity the people you care about and feel heartbroken. Are you even the least bit loyal to them?"
"I..." Shang Rong was speechless.
Xia Shang was so excited because this woman's behavior was somewhat similar to his own in the previous life.
"Then...then what should I do?"
"If I'm not you, how would I know?" Xia Shang said angrily, "But your senior brother is not dead, he was captured. I don't know where he is being held."
"What? My senior brother is not dead?"
Xia Shang stopped talking.
Shang Rong paused for a moment, then turned around and handed over to Xia Shang: "Thank you, Master, for your explanation. Shang Rong would like to express my gratitude here. I will not talk about life or death lightly when I go today, at least after I have rescued my senior brother."
After saying that, Shang Rong left in a hurry.
After all, this woman is considered upright, she should be from a well-known family, and she seems to have some skills.
But Xia Shang didn't expect that after just one night, there was news in the village that the boss had arrested another accomplice, and she was a woman.
Needless to say, Shang Rong must be right.
She learned the news because she heard someone talking outside. The little girl had a good impression of the woman she saw last night. When she came back, she asked Xia Shang what she should do.
Xia Shang felt helpless after hearing this: "Not only are people stupid, but they also haven't learned their skills well. How can such a person get around?"
Qian Qian's eyes were filled with anxiety as she looked at Xia Shang and gestured.
"Don't be anxious. Since you were just caught, you won't be in trouble for the time being. At most, you will suffer a little physical pain. For the people they came out to fool around with, it will be nothing at all."
Qian Qian hurriedly brought the paper and was about to write, but Xia Shang interrupted: "No need to write, I know what you want. I will think of a way, but I have to wait for the opportunity."
Just as he was talking, the door opened.
Mr. Wu came in with two jugs of wine and a fat chicken: "Mr. Xia, this is what the master personally ordered. You should eat it quickly."
Xia Shang did not have such good food treatment before.
But today's feast of meat and wine was as expected.
Mr. Wu put the wine and chicken on the table. Xia Shang was not polite and sat down to eat by himself.
Xia Shang waved to Qian Qian to come over, but Qian Qian shook her head.
Xia Shang didn't ask for any more invitations and just ate happily for a while.
Mr. Wu was watching from the side.
"Mr. Wu, we made an agreement before that you would let me go when the 500,000 taels come. Now you continue to copy the books and sell them, gradually lowering the price, and the income will be far more than the 500,000 taels. Isn't that right?
Should I let me go?"
Mr. Wu seemed to have expected it, and he laughed after hearing this: "This matter is not urgent. Mr. Xia is now a distinguished guest of our village, so these matters can be slowed down for now. The master also said that he will take you to see it in person later.
Where is our water village?"
How could Xia and Shang not know about such a clumsy delaying strategy?
"I have something else to do and I've been delayed here for a long time. I hope you can fulfill your promise."
"This... I'm afraid I have to wait until I ask the boss for instructions."
"When exactly?"
"It's just these few days."
"What are these days?"
"It depends on what the boss says."
"Since you can't give me an answer, then take me to see your boss now."
"this……"
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. Let's go now."
Mr. Wu didn't expect Xia Shanger to be in such a hurry, and he was pulled out of the room forcefully.
Mr. Wu had no choice but to take Xia Shang to Zhao Xiao's camp.
Zhao Xiao was counting the banknotes in the camp. Despite his rugged appearance, he was also a money-lover. When he saw the banknotes, he felt like he was seeing a mountain of silver. He beamed with joy and couldn't hide his joy.
Zhao Xiao saw Xia Shang and said happily: "Mr. Xia, is the wine and meat sent by Waizui Wu still to your appetite?"
Xia Shang was calm all the way, but when he saw Zhao Xiao, his face darkened, and he was extremely serious: "Master, I have fulfilled what I have to do, when will you let me go?"
"Mr. Xia, this matter is not urgent. Don't all you literati like to travel around? You haven't seen enough of the beauty of Taihu Lake!"
"I'm not interested in those things. I'm not a scholar, I'm a businessman. Businessmen pay attention to integrity and efficiency. It's time for me to leave, and I want to leave now."
Zhao Xiao gradually turned cold when he heard Xia Shang's serious tone without any room for error: "Xia Chunqiu, I think highly of you when I ask you to stay and play more. Don't be disrespectful. It's not your turn to say anything here."
