Yu Zhi felt that this middle-aged scholar was interesting, so he said a few more words, and then recommended some snacks to him.
"Young Master and I are quite destined. After listening to Young Master's explanation, I am a little reluctant to... kill you."
Yu Zhi was suddenly startled, and for a moment, the sounds of the pedestrians around him seemed to have stopped. For example, the cold wind blowing from the north froze everything in Kyoto. The stagnant time only lasted for a moment. The next breath was like the spring breeze thawing, and the world returned to its original appearance.
Yu Zhi's widened eyes returned to their original size. Even if the cold wind hit him, it would only last for a moment. He was so cold that he kept all his emotions deep in his heart. "Is this the person behind the scenes?" Yu Zhi put down the spoon in his hand and began to look at the other person.
The originally elegant middle-aged scholar now became very unpleasant in Yu Zhi's eyes. Grudges in the world always have cause and effect. Yu Zhi was not angry about the assassination of the other party. He was so angry that no one had ever told him, why should he bear all this?
Hoo ho ho.
Yu Zhi was so angry that he drank the clear soup in the bowl in one breath. One is because it tastes good, and the other is because I am really angry.
On the streets of Kyoto, the other party naturally did not dare to kill him in a big way. After all, he was under the emperor's feet and could not tolerate anyone being so presumptuous. But why did the other party want to explain all this? Yu Zhi felt nervous for no reason. When something happens, he always likes to think more. Since the other party was so upright, Yu Zhi had to be more vigilant.
"Since we are destined, sir, can you please not kill me?" Yu Zhi calmed down and said.
The middle-aged scholar shook his head. The bowl of wontons in front of him was already lumpy, and he still didn't look like he wanted to eat it.
"Then why did the gentleman come to see me specially?" Yu Zhi asked again?
The middle-aged scholar smiled slightly and said confidently: "Kill you."
"today?"
"Maybe tomorrow."
Yu Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Since it's not necessary today, why don't we go for a walk together?"
The middle-aged scholar was slightly surprised, and his eyes seemed to focus on the young man opposite him. The young man's words surprised and amused him, and also made him feel the urge to continue chatting.
"What if it were today?"
Yu Zhi smiled bitterly and said nonsense: "I am a little inconvenient today."
The middle-aged scholar found the young man's speech very interesting. This is the first time I heard that killing people is actually inconvenient for the person being killed. He didn't answer and waited for Yu Zhi to continue: "Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. My uncle and I have made an appointment to watch the New Year's Eve. No one will protect me today. I am really no match for you, so it's a little inconvenient. Tomorrow, Tomorrow, your husband will come to Qiu Mansion, and I will prepare wine and food for you."
With that said, Yu Zhi threw two coins on the table, then stood up unhurriedly. After walking a few steps, he turned back to look at the middle-aged scholar who had not moved. "Sir, do you really want to go for a walk with me?"
Yu Zhi didn't think the middle-aged scholar would kill him. When he first learned about the other party's purpose, Yu Zhi felt very uneasy. The opponent was very cruel last time, and the injury on his shoulder has not recovered yet.
However, when Yu Zhi thought about it carefully, he felt that this middle-aged scholar-looking man seemed to be interested in meeting him. Of course, a meeting is a meeting, and killing is killing. These are two different things.
Yu Zhi walked a few more steps and was quite surprised to find that the middle-aged scholar was walking side by side with him unknowingly. He thought that he would not be able to defend himself against this method. He smiled bitterly in his heart, half a body of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he looked a little embarrassed because of his thin clothes.
"Sir, where are you from? And who do you serve?" Yu Zhi asked. He had always been straightforward, and it didn't look like anyone would answer this question.
Sure enough, the middle-aged scholar didn't answer, and Yu Zhi didn't care. The two of them walked down the street together. "Sir, why do you want to kill me? This question should be discussed."
The middle-aged scholar thought for a moment and said coldly: "I will act as ordered."
"Oh? It turns out that sir is not the final master." Yu Zhi chuckled. No one had ever told Yu Zhi about the other party's situation, so Yu Zhi could only find out on his own. At least a killer came, and Yu Zhi took this opportunity to "interrogate and interrogate" him.
The middle-aged scholar felt that he had been tricked and looked annoyed. Yu Zhi saw the contempt in his heart. He had never been so angry when a hunter walked beside him.
"What are you going to ask?" the middle-aged scholar asked.
Yu Zhi stopped, turned sideways and asked, "I want to know who you are and why you want to kill me? I have only been in this world for only eighteen years. I don't have the ability or the time to offend you. .Did you make a mistake?”
Yu Zhi was slightly shorter than the middle-aged scholar, and his eyes stared directly into each other's eyes. It was rare for prey and hunter to look at each other.
"Sir, you are a scholar, and it is said in books that every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Don't kill innocent people by mistake."
Yu Zhi was born warm and innocent. Although he was a bit loose and did some pranks in his daily life, he did not consider himself to be the kind of treacherous or evil person.
"Follow orders."
It's still the same four cold words.
Is this person stupid because of reading? Why are you so stupid? Sure enough, reading is harmful.
"Since sir refuses to say anything, I won't ask any more questions." Sure enough, Yu Zhi didn't speak again along the way, but just walked with his head down. The speed is much faster.
After walking for a while, Yu Zhi stopped and said again: "Sir, I'm here." Yu Zhi pointed to the plaque of Qiu Mansion, and then ran in immediately.
After entering the house, Yu Zhi found that his back was as cold as if he had been dipped in cold water. When no one was around, he looked panicked and slumped in a chair with sweat dripping down his face. After a while, Yu Zhi's breath finally calmed down a bit. He felt that he seemed ridiculous, thinking that the other party would not take action today, so he invited someone to accompany him. It wasn't until later that his Qi machine was locked, that he suddenly realized that he was wrong. As Li Haomiao said, if you die, you really have to die.
Qiu Ruoruo and Ye Qinghuan both heard the movement in Yu Zhi's room and hurriedly ran in to ask.
Yu Zhi sat up and said blankly and plainly: "I just met someone who wanted to kill me."
Qiu Ruoruo found a towel and handed it to Yu Zhi, thinking that she could no longer let Yu Zhi go out alone.
"Since I came to Kyoto, I have become much more courageous. Even though some inexplicable things have happened, I still go my own way, and I have been attacked by the other party many times. I often escape by luck, but I don't take warning. Maybe today I I might die in the streets of Kyoto." Yu Zhi suddenly began to reflect on himself. "In fact, I am a selfish person. I don't care about many things just to avoid trouble. Therefore, you two may also suffer some grievances."
Qiu Ruoruo looked at Yu Zhi with a slightly sad expression and said, "It's too foreign to say that. I still like Brother Xiaoyu's innocent look."
Yu Zhi nodded, wondering whether to find some guards for himself to protect him so as not to worry Qiu Ruoruo and Ye Qinghuan even more.
...
"Mr. Three." A young scholar walked up to a middle-aged scholar and saluted respectfully.
Mr. San walked with Yu Zhi all the way and observed Yu Zhi's behavior. He will not take action personally, not today or tomorrow. Because the boss once said that there is a limit, which is the fifth level of Armor Breaking. No rules, no standards. This is true whether it is among Yan Yunqiu or in life.
The young scholar's name is Ning Huan, and he is a student in his private school. And Ning Huan is not just a student. During the day, he studied in a private school, very much like those students from poor families. At night, he was a killer in the underground world of the Chu Dynasty, codenamed "Yishi Huan".
"The person who was walking with me just now." Mr. Third said to Ning Huan behind him as he walked. "kill him."
Ning Huan's steps didn't stop. He often heard murderous words from Mr. San, and he was already used to it. Just now, he first sat behind Yu Zhi at the wonton stall, and then walked all the way behind Mr. Yu Zhi and Mr. San.
Ning Huan tried hard to recall Yu Zhi's appearance and sighed slightly in her heart. Such a handsome young man was actually targeted by Mr. Third.
"Mr. Three, he is still from the Qiu Mansion. If he is killed, I am afraid he will get into trouble." Ning Huan said. The attitude remains respectful and modest. Killers are also afraid of trouble, and they are most afraid of trouble involving officials.
Mr. Third frowned slightly. He didn't like anyone questioning his orders, even if they were questioning. "Kill him and I'll set you free."
The word freedom is so precious. Ning Huan did not hesitate, and immediately said for fear that Mr. Third would regret it: "Mr. Three, the book says that once a word is broken, it is hard to follow it up. If this happens, I will bid farewell to Mr. Three and leave Kyoto."
Mr. Third said nothing, leaving Ning Huan alone with a happy look on his eyebrows. Mr. San is a scholar, and Ning Huan is also a scholar. Scholars are naturally the most disciplined. Ning Huan watched Mr. San's figure gradually disappear into the crowd, then turned and left.
As a killer, Ning Huan has never taken on those big orders. What is a big list? It's an extremely expensive and extremely difficult order. Ning Huan is only a fifth-level armor-breaker, which is already good for his age, but in the killer world, a circle with countless seniors, he still needs to hone his skills.
Ning Huan has her own rules.
1. Do not kill old, weak, women and children. God has the virtue of good life.
2. Courtiers will not be killed. The people do not fight with the officials.
Yu Zhi is exactly the candidate for the second item.
At night, Yu Zhi's brief information was already placed in Ning Huan's small room. This cost him ten taels of silver, which made him quite distressed. It's not that Yu Zhi's information is rare, but that information in the killer world is so expensive. Every aspect of a killer's killing is crucial, and the more detailed the information, the better. After all, this is a life-or-death deal.
"The freedom of ten taels of silver."
Ning Huan also felt that this information should be worth far more than ten taels of silver.
