Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Five: Nightfall
The mountain city at the moment was quite chaotic. Ju Ao wanted to change his route, but unexpectedly he blocked the way forward with his sword. When he turned to Dingxing Mountain again, it was burned into a sea of fire by Yun Xiao's out-of-control flames. At this moment, this one
The frightened Giant Ao was in a dilemma, so he could only use the original poster's special magic to cover up his traces in the mountains.
Taking a rest, Xiao Qianye looked at the surrounding environment while walking. The layout here is more casual than that of Haishi, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the tall building in the center. I think it is whether it is the owner of Shanshi or someone who lives here temporarily.
Most of the masters of Shanhaiji, even Zhenluo's employers and the elders of Xuhai are there.
He briefly analyzed the pros and cons, and immediately stopped and looked over with a stern look. The last time he entered Hai City, he did not enter the high-rise building in the center due to the intervention of the Night King, but now he would rather waste time here aimlessly.
, it would be better to just break in.
Xiao Qianye took a deep breath and walked calmly to the corner of the street where there were only a few people. Just as he sneaked in quietly using the art of light transformation, in the lobby of the first floor of the high-rise building, a frustrated woman grabbed the handbag.
The purple clay pot hit the man in night clothes opposite him with all his strength.
The Zhenluo clan sternly scolded: "Are they a bunch of trash that I spent a lot of money to invite? Those three hundred kilograms of Wenwen Village were burned to the ground, and now you can't even catch the arsonist? You're famous
Isn’t it true that the Zhenluo clan just has a false name?”
There were five people standing opposite her. They were all wearing dark tight night clothes. They had strong physiques. Not only did they wear hats, but their faces were also covered with black cloth. The leader had a golden button on his shoulder.
, his eyes lit up sharply at the moment he was scolded, but he remained as calm as iron, and in a low voice he replied clearly word by word: "Tuberose, that fire
It’s not simple. It wasn’t an ordinary person who set the fire, but someone with profound spiritual power controlled it and went straight to the countryside of Wenrou. My subordinates were nearby at the time. Because the fire couldn’t be extinguished, there was no way to move the goods, but Zhenluo
The tribe always uses people's money to eliminate disasters for others. Since the work is not successful and we don't take any reward, as compensation, we will capture the person who set the fire and hand it over to you."
"Hmph, what I want is not the life of the arsonist, what I want is the life of those bitches in the Imperial City!" The woman codenamed "Ye Laixiang" replied fiercely, unwilling to accept it. Leader Zhenluo's eyes were sharp,
Obviously, he has no interest in other people's grudges and grudges. He just continues his rhetoric mechanically and wants to end this already losing money transaction as soon as possible.
: "Does Mrs. Gao know about the fire on Dingxing Mountain a moment ago? The flames were exactly the same as those at Xiyue Tea House, and should have been caused by the same person, because the mountain fire caused Juao to be frightened and had to stop. We suspected arson
The person has already sneaked into the mountain city, Madam, you should be careful, after all, your life is not involved in the Zhenluo clan’s mission this time.”
Cao Yan looked at the killer in front of her coldly. Their eyes were as cold as ice, but she, a young lady who had been pampered since childhood, showed a smile even more vicious than that of the Zhenluo clan, and raised the corners of her mouth little by little without caring.
retorted: "I'll come as soon as I come. I
I just want to see who the imperial capital sent here this time. Maybe it's the 'wind demon' who has been causing chaos in Feiyuan for many years and leaving everyone helpless? Ha... If those people really want to kill my whole family, they will chase them into the mountain city.
I will definitely make sure they repay their debt with blood, no matter what happens!"
"Ha..." Leader Zhenluo's eyes turned, and he became interested in the "wind demon" in her mouth. Tuberose sarcastically said: "I invited you here just because I don't want the wind demon to get into trouble, but in the end you still can't keep those batches.
The goods are really rubbish."
"Ye Laixiang, the Zhenluo people are very sophisticated in their work. Before taking over your commission, they also investigated the so-called wind demon. However, it seems that someone else took action this time. They were not the target of the mission. Zhenluo had no reason to intervene. However, the drugs were burned.
It’s hard for Shinra to absolve himself of the blame, so we’ll each take a step back, one without taking any reward, and the other will help you hunt down the arsonist.”
"You..." Ye Laixiang was blocked by him and was speechless. After all, he was a mercenary who only valued money. She did not dare to be too rude and presumptuous. If she really offended the other party, she might be in trouble.
In this kind of black market, no one will notice if you die inexplicably.
The leader of Zhenluo smiled casually. Such wild words were completely unconvincing to him. After all, there has been no news from the five people he sent out. They must have been killed. If the other party could kill them so easily,
Among his subordinates, he did not believe that the unarmed woman in front of him could really deal with it on his own, but he did not care about it either. After giving the false reminder, he immediately bowed his hands and left in a polite manner.
Cao Yan took a breath and suddenly felt like his head was going to explode. When he instinctively wanted to pour himself a glass of water to catch his breath, he realized that the purple clay pot had been smashed into pieces. However, looking at the residue on the ground
Son, Cao Yan's shoulders trembled slightly. He didn't know what kind of horrific past he recalled, and his beautiful face flashed for a moment.
She was as pale as death. She held her chest and took a deep breath. When she saw that she was about to suffocate and faint because she couldn't hold it up, a child less than ten years old rushed in from the lobby, carrying an inappropriate long sword.
He ran to her in an instant and said hurriedly: "Mom! Mom, don't be angry. Sit down and take a rest. Mom..."
"Why are you back?" Cao Yan caught a glimpse of his son's face. Instead of showing the joy that a mother should have, his eyebrows were raised, and his face was already extremely ugly. He angrily threw away the child's hand and cursed in a low voice, "This
When did you come back? I spent so much
Paying someone to teach you martial arts and sword practice, are you skipping classes? You didn't study hard in the Eighth Hall of Military Machinery in the past, so why are you still so unsatisfactory now that you are in such a place of three religions and nine streams? Do you want to be a useless person like your father all your life?
In the end, you have to be targeted and killed alive?"
"No, no!" Hearing his mother's stern scolding, the child straightened his back and lowered his head in grievance, and whispered back, "Master even praised me for my rapid progress today. The reason why I came back early is because today is your day."
It’s your birthday, Lin’er wants to come back early to accompany you.”
He was holding the long sword tightly with one hand, and wringing his sleeves in confusion with the other hand. Cao Yan was stunned for a moment. Since the death of her husband Gao Shumang, she had a premonition that the Gao family and Guangsha would soon be eradicated by the new emperor, so she
Even her husband's funeral affairs were left to others. She took her nine-year-old son with her from the emperor overnight.
They all ran away. Although her family had been wiped out by the wind demon nine years ago, fortunately, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. She still found a way to sneak into the mountain market. She has always been a competitive person.
, her family was wiped out and her husband died tragically. How could she swallow this and live in the black market?
While relying on her talent to start a small business in the mountain market, she watched and listened in all directions to seize everything she could take advantage of. It didn't take long for her to discover that a drug that was popular in the dark was extremely profitable. Finally, with her exquisite and versatile skills
The connections made her the first pot of gold immediately. The owner of Shanshi City was overjoyed and gave her a floor of this central high-rise building for business. She was codenamed "Ye Laixiang" and in just a few months she became the most popular person here.
A hot-tempered female drug lord.
However, after saving this huge sum of money, the hatred in her heart also grew day by day. Like others, she did not choose to take the money and go to sea to escape from this isolated island that would sink into the sea without knowing when.
She invited the Zhenluo clan, a mercenary from Zonghengliu Island, to spread this drug, which is impossible to quit once contaminated, to the Imperial City, so that those hypocritical bitches can taste the loss of their families and their families.
It's a pity... As expected, the three hundred kilograms of Wenwenxiang that she worked so hard to obtain were burned down before they could even be transported to Tianyu City, the imperial capital!
Thinking of this, the anger in Cao Yan's heart surged again. She held her throat and tried to cough but couldn't. It was like there was a mouthful of thick phlegm that couldn't be dissolved blocked between her chest and lungs. Although Gao Lin was young, this was not the case.
The sudden changes in his family over the past year have also made him mature a lot. Seeing his mother's sad face turning pale, he quickly ran to the counter and picked up another cup.
Handing over a cup of herbal tea, Cao Yan looked at his sensible young son with both pity and reluctance. Holding back the grief, he still said with a straight face: "Lin'er, Mom doesn't need to celebrate your birthday, you just need to remember to practice well.
Sword, only when you are strong will you not be slaughtered by others. It is still early now, you can go to the courtyard to practice sword practice for a while, you don't have to accompany mother."
"Yes, Lin'er will go right away." The nine-year-old child did not dare to disobey his mother's words, bowed seriously, and indeed left through the back door with his sword in hand.
After he left, Cao Yan coughed heavily, and the congestion in her throat finally rushed out of her mouth. Her whole body was trembling slightly due to the long-term fatigue and anger, and unstoppable bloodshots continuously poured out from her tightly covered mouth.
Xiao Qianye watched this scene silently by the window. Even though he already knew from Mu Yun that the drug lord "Ye Laixiang" was the Cao family's youngest daughter, Gao Shumang's wife Cao Yan, he really saw this scene with his own eyes.
I still had mixed feelings in my heart. The Forbidden Army and the Military Pavilion had always been at odds with each other, but as the captain of the garrison in the capital, Gao Shumang was a good person.
A rigorous and serious person, perhaps as Gao Chengchuan ruthlessly commented at the time as "more loyal than capable", his martial arts skills were mediocre, and he was defeated many times even in battles with several of his lieutenants, but
He has a cheerful temper, and even if the top brass of the two armies are at odds with each other, I actually don't hate him.
But he was such a good old man. On the night of the coup, he was used as a shield by his own uncle and died in his hands.
Xiao Qianye bit his lip hard. Such anger still caused huge waves in his heart. He stared at the woman silently wiping tears in the lobby for a long time. That was the first time that Emperor Zhong showed himself to Feiyuan. It was not for any reason.
The big event that shocked the world was just the death of a captain of the Forbidden Army.
After a while, a short figure walked into the lobby. Cao Yan regained her composure at this moment. She looked at the white rat that nodded and bowed in front of her as if nothing had happened. She silently drank the tea brought by her son. It looked like it was true.
She looked a bit like the ruthless female drug lord Ye Laixiang at the center of the rumors. She asked calmly: "Has the goods been delivered? How many are there?"
"Of course we don't dare to delay your goods for a day. They total one hundred kilograms. We have already asked Huang Shu to transport them directly to the Imperial City via a private road according to your instructions, without leaving Luo City." White Shu answered excitedly and handed over a bill.
Cao Yan just glanced at it hastily, snorted coldly from his nose, and ordered under his breath, "Go around."
You Five Rats are the ones who do things reliably and cheaply, unlike that group of Zhenluo who fail to succeed and fail! You go to Axia to get your reward. In addition, the previous batch of Wenwen Township was accidentally burned down. Let me take a look.
Go get some more, and then you can send them to the imperial capital together. If it's done, I'll pay double the money this time."
"Okay, just ask." The white mouse's smiling eyes narrowed to a thin line. Cao Yan waved his hand in disgust to let him go quickly. Thinking of his son who had been ignored by him just now, he finally sighed and got up and followed him out.
Xiao Qianye stared closely at the white rat who was grinning from ear to ear. While he was humming a little tune and jumping around to find someone to get his reward, he directly dragged him to a deserted corner. Gu Chen took advantage of the situation.
