Chapter 277 Lone Robber
The bearded man's words were full of disdain for the black-feathered night crow, and Yu Wen Chengchao felt mixed.
The black-feathered night crow is famous all over the world. If it were not for the black-feathered night crow, perhaps Xiling would have fallen into the mouths of the Wutuo people.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they have made outstanding achievements.
But what the black-feathered nightcrow did tonight was really a despicable act.
The bearded man had already dismounted from his horse, with a package loaded on the horse. He took off his bow and arrows and put them on the horse. Then he walked to the stream, rolled up his sleeves, and washed his hands with the stream water first, and then his face.
The movements are crisp and neat.
Yuwen Chengchao also dismounted and placed the head of the old marquis on the horse. Then he walked over and asked respectfully: "May I ask my brother Gao's name? Can you tell me?"
"It's just a name, there's nothing I can't do." The bearded man said, "Few people in this world know my name anyway." He looked at Yuwen Chengchao and said, "My surname is Hu, you can just call me Hu Tuo, Luo Tuo."
My camel’s name is not very pleasant.”
"It turns out to be Brother Hu." Yuwen Chengchao said hurriedly: "I am Yuwen Chengchao."
"You have already said it." Hu Tuo, the bearded man, said, "Are you the eldest son of the Yuwen family?"
Yuwen Chengchao said: "Do you know me?"
Hu Tuo raised his finger and pointed at his ears and said with a smile: "I heard everything you just said. I was passing by the forest and saw someone building a bonfire. I wanted to eat and drink, but I saw that those were soldiers.
, I wanted to leave, so as not to cause trouble, but I heard a soldier talking to you, and then saw the black-feathered night crow attacking the cavalry. It was none of my business, but the black-feathered night crow borrowed a knife to kill someone, and you died unjustly.
I really don't care, but as a night crow, it would be really shameless to slash a knife at a tied person. If you are a good man, they untie your rope and then throw a knife to you. I don't care about this.
Just don’t care.”
Yuwen Chengchao nodded slightly and said, "Brother Hu is brave and heroic."
"It's impossible to talk about it." Hu Tuo laughed and said: "What is chivalrous and courageous? The last thing I want is to be loyal. There are too many treacherous people in this world. If you really talk about loyalty, you will be betrayed by others in the future. I can't stand it. Everything.
It’s better to calculate it clearly, hahaha!”
"Brother Hu is so far away, but he can hear clearly what they are saying. His ear is really amazing." Yu Wen Chengchao said with admiration.
Hu Tuo sat down by the stream, touched his beard, and looked very slovenly. Then he pointed to his ears: "I was born with these ears. I can hear any voice within fifty steps."
Clearly, maybe I was a dog in my previous life, and when I was reincarnated in this life, the Lord of Hell forgot to take away my dog ears."
Yuwen Chengchao simply sat down on the edge and asked, "Where did Brother Hu come from?"
"You are asking too much." Hu Tuo said: "But you are the eldest son of the Yuwen family. The Yuwen family is one of the three great families in Xiling and is very powerful. How did you, the eldest son, fall into such a miserable state?
"
Yuwen Chengchao pondered for a moment, thinking that although he was the eldest son of the Yuwen family, Fenggan Mansion had been controlled by General Heiyu, and he had a family and could not return. He felt sad in his heart, and he did not hide it. General Heiyu and the Yuwen family were about to be separated.
An agreement was reached, and the Yuwen family moved into the customs as a price to preserve the family.
"So, General Heiyu has promised to let your Yuwen family live?" Hu Tuo sneered: "Since we have made a promise, but
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
And why did you secretly use the Zhen family’s wolf riders to ambush you?”
Yuwen Chengchao said: "Of course we have to cut the grass and get rid of the roots."
Hu Tuo said: "I heard that during the Wutuo Rebellion, the Protectorate Army fought a bloody battle with the Wutuo people, but the Xiling family stayed out of the matter. Your Xiling family had already forged a feud with the Protectorate Army at that time."
"What Brother Hu said is true." Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "We thought that Su Shoumo, a famous general, would naturally have a broad mind. Because of this, we agreed to move into the pass, but we didn't expect...!"
Hu Tuo said: "I don't think Su Shoumo may be instigating this matter. Su Shoumo is also a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid he would disdain such a dirty trick of ambush in secret." After a pause, he said: "
However, those people under him were all those who had narrowly escaped death. Seeing their comrades die on the battlefield, these people naturally placed the blame on your Xiling family. Su Shoumo wanted to let you go, but his people did not.
You may not want to."
"What Brother Hu said makes sense." Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said, "But since it was Black Feather Night Crow who did it, Su Shoumo cannot escape responsibility."
Hu Tuo smiled and said: "The black-feathered night crow used the wolf cavalry to ambush you, making people mistakenly think that the one who attacked you was the Zhen family's wolf cavalry. The wolf cavalry avenged the Zhen family, but it makes sense and no one will doubt it. But after killing someone with a borrowed knife,
He also silenced the Wolf Cavalry. What he did was a bit cruel." He stroked his beard and said, "Who ordered the Wolf Cavalry to ambush? It won't be easy for you to find out."
Yuwen Chengchao looked coldly and said: "The deputy commander of the Wolf Cavalry, Tang Wuhen, naturally knows who instigated it. He must have reached some kind of agreement with the Black Feathered Night Crow in private. If he can be used as a witness, the world can know about Su Shoumo."
His despicable behavior." He clenched his fists and said, "Tang Wuhen was chased by Ye Crow. If he can escape, he will be a witness."
"So what if he is a witness?" Hu Tuo said, "Didn't Su Shoumo already control Fenggan Mansion?"
"Not yet." Yu Wen Chengchao sneered: "He only brought the guard Ye Crow to Xiling, and has not mobilized troops from the pass. As long as I can prove that Ye Crow ordered the Wolf Cavalry to ambush, Su Shoumo wants to
I’m afraid it won’t be easy to stay in Xiling.”
Hu Tuo stood up and said: "This is the grudge between you, I have nothing to do with it." He walked towards his horse and said: "Don't worry about me saving you, I always need to be paid for what I do.
Yes, unless I don't like it myself. You are lucky tonight, I don't like the night crows, and they saved you by the way, otherwise you have to pay money."
Yuwen Chengchao also stood up and walked over, saying, "Where are you going, Brother Hu?"
"I'm just wandering around, doing whatever good deals come up. At best, I'm called a ranger, but at worst, I'm just a lone thief." Hu Tuo got on his horse and said, "Whoever can afford the money will kill and set fire to me.
Done." He waved his hand: "Let's go, we'll see you later!" He was about to urge his horse to leave, but Yu Wen Chengchao quickly rushed forward and blocked the way.
Hu Tuo frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"
Yu Wen Chengchao didn't talk nonsense. He took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and brought them over. Hu Tuo was startled and reached out to take it. Yu Wen Chengchao said: "This is a ten thousand tael of silver notes. You can exchange it for cash at the bank."
"Ten thousand taels?" Hu Tuo took the banknote, looked at it in the moonlight, and said with a smile: "The eldest son is really generous. The most expensive thing in the business I do is killing. The price of killing varies. The most expensive is
Two thousand taels
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, the ordinary ones are only two to three hundred taels, your ten thousand taels of silver is enough for me to help you kill five or six famous people."
Yuwen Cheng said: "Then how about we do this business? The ten thousand taels of silver are prepaid silver. If you help me kill people in the future, you will deduct it directly from it. When you kill ten thousand taels, you will tell me."
"
Hu Tuo leaned forward slightly, supported his arms on the horse's back, and said with a smile: "You are not asking me to kill Su Shoumo, are you? My eldest son, the ugly words are ahead of me. I don't do business casually. I earn a lot of money."
I won't do anything that costs money and life. If you ask me to kill someone, I will also consider whether I can kill him. If I am not more than 70% sure, I will never take action. Su Shoumo is a famous general in the empire, not to mention the guards around him
Many, he himself is also a master, and I am not even 20% sure about killing him. Also, killing him will definitely arouse the anger of the court, and the emperor will definitely find the real culprits at all costs, those eunuchs from the Purple Clothes Prison
The guy's nose is sharper than a dog's. Sooner or later he will find me. If I really get caught by the Purple-clothed Prisoner, I won't even know how I died." He handed the banknote back and said, "Young Master, if the person you want to kill is Su Shoumo.
, you’d better take the money back, Mr. Hu will not be happy to enjoy it.”
Yuwen Chengchao shook his head and said: "Don't worry, if it is found out that Su Shoumo personally ordered it, and I will kill him myself, I won't bother you. Keep the money, and in the future, if you think you can kill, you can kill him. If you think you can't kill, you can kill him."
, I won’t force you.”
"It's a pleasure." Hu Tuo immediately put the banknote into his arms, gave a thumbs up and said: "It's a pleasure to do business with you rich people. Young Master, before these ten thousand taels of silver are used up, I will be your knife."
, follow you to kill people."
Yuwen Chengchao looked up at the sky and said, "Let's go to Turtle City first."
"Turtle City?"
"To find out who was behind the scenes, we must ask the truth from Tang Wuhen." Yuwen Chengchao looked grim: "I only hope that he can escape from Ye Crow. After he escapes, what he cares about most is naturally his family.
"
Hu Tuo nodded and said: "That's right. Being chased by Ye Crow, a man named Tang will definitely worry that Ye Crow will attack his family. As long as he escapes death, he will definitely move his family first. The eldest son wants to kill Gui first.
City, find out where Tang Wuhen's family members live, and then wait for Tang Wuhen to surrender?"
"If he is still alive and we can find his family before him, then of course he has thrown himself into a trap." Yu Wen Chengchao quickly walked to his horse and got on his horse: "So we must seize the time and hurry up.
Find his family before he does."
Hu Tuo smiled and said, "I'll take your money and whatever you say will be yours."
Yu Wen Chengchao didn't talk nonsense. He shook the horse's reins and urged the horse to run away. Hu Tuo also shook the reins and followed Yu Wen Chengcheng and galloped away in the direction of Turtle City in the west.
