In an instant, Su Yun's dagger had been withdrawn from his arm and stabbed the man's neck from the side.
"puff!"
Blood spurts out!
"Second brother!"
The remaining man shouted anxiously.
Originally, he wanted to step forward to help, but the current situation made him just want to escape and quickly ran out the door.
"Um?"
Su Yun took a few steps forward, but quickly stopped and thought to himself: "Don't chase the poor bandits!"
At the same time, a noisy quarrel came from outside the room.
"Who is it! Screaming in the middle of the night!"
"Can't you go downstairs slower?"
"Next door, can't you make a little noise?"
"..."
Su Yun frowned slightly, groped for the two corpses, and put their weapons into the system backpack.
After searching, he quickly jumped up from the window and fled the inn.
If someone discovers the dead person tomorrow, he will definitely get into trouble, so he might as well escape overnight.
While running wildly, he checked what he had just looted.
23 taels of silver and two ordinary broadswords.
Including the 50 taels of silver given by Yinsha Pavilion, there are now more than 70 taels.
No matter which world you are in, it is easy to get things done if you have money.
Judging from the familiar appearance of the three people just now, they must be thieves, but they didn't expect to encounter Su Yun.
Before settling in, Su Yun specifically asked the waiter about the location of Shenbao Town. Unexpectedly, it was nearby, which saved him from running around.
It's no wonder that the Hidden Killing Pavilion only gave one month to complete the assassination mission.
However, if he hadn't been prepared for what happened tonight, he might have fallen into the hands of three thieves.
You should be more careful in the future.
The next afternoon.
Su Yun rushed to Shenbao Town before the sun set, and first found the Shen Mansion where his assassination target lived.
Along the way, the Shen family's mansion was the most magnificent.
Two huge stone lions stood at the door. The dark red door was open, but there were four guards guarding the door.
After walking around Shen Mansion, Su Yun stayed at the nearest inn.
According to the letter, Shen Mingzhe is the richest businessman in Shenbao Town and will definitely hire some warriors as bodyguards, so the assassination is still somewhat difficult.
Su Yun sat and ate while thinking about how to execute the assassination target.
Suddenly, the chatter of several people at the next table aroused his interest.
"Have you heard? The Shen Family Medical Center will be recruiting guards again tomorrow!"
"Didn't we just recruit a lot of guards half a month ago? Why did we recruit them?"
"I don't know, but the price offered by the Shen family is not low, and whoever is chosen will be rewarded fifty taels of silver directly!"
"What? Fifty taels! I'll go take a look tomorrow too!"
"..."
Su Yun looked forward and murmured: "Recruiting guards? As long as you choose them, you can enter Shen's mansion smoothly, and the difficulty of assassination will be much easier!"
The next morning.
A large number of people practicing martial arts have already gathered at the entrance of Shen's residence, but the door of Shen's residence is closed tightly and they haven't gotten up yet.
Su Yun was also mixed in the crowd, staring at the closed door.
"Creak..."
Suddenly, the dark red door was opened.
A middle-aged man wearing a black hat and a beard stepped out of the door, and behind him were four guards wearing black training uniforms.
"Steward Tian!"
"Hello, Butler Tian!"
When everyone saw him, they greeted him with smiles.
The man in front of him is Tian Weiqi, the housekeeper of Shen Mansion!
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Please register and enter the compound!" Tian Weiqi said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, Butler Tian!"
"Thank you, Butler Tian!"
Everyone thanked them one after another, lined up, and registered one after another.
Soon, it was Su Yun's turn.
The accountant who registered asked expressionlessly: "Whose last name is there? Where are you from?"
"Zhang San, from Zhangjiacun!" Su Yun said.
How can you use your real name when you are away from home?
What's more, he will assassinate the master of Shen Mansion in the future.
The accountant frowned slightly: "Isn't he a local?"
"No!" Su Yun shook his head.
Zhangjia Village was all made up. He didn’t even know if there was a Zhangjia Village in Shenbao Town.
"go in!"
After registering Su Yun's information, the accounting clerk waved his hand.
"Okay, thank you." Su Yun followed the people in front and walked into the courtyard, only to find that there was a universe inside.
In addition to being very large, the compound also has some things that are only found in martial arts schools.
There are plum blossom stakes for martial arts training, wooden figures, and an arena for competitions. Does this look like a mansion that an ordinary wealthy businessman should have?
In about one stick of incense, everyone was registered.
Butler Tian Weiqi walked onto the ring and said with a smile: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment and let me say a few words."
"I believe that you all have come to our Shen Mansion to select guards. Let me briefly explain the selection requirements. Anyone who can defeat the Shen Mansion's guards can become a guard in our house and receive a reward of 50 taels of silver!"
"After a while, everyone will go on stage by name to compete with the guards. As long as you win, that's it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd below was excited and eager to get on the ring and compete now.
"good."
"Okay, let me knock them down with one punch!"
"50 taels of silver, here I come!"
"..."
Immediately afterwards, Butler Tian divided the people into three waves, one around each of the three arenas.
Su Yun was assigned to the first arena, and the person standing on the arena was the guard he met at the door before.
Judging from the information on the system interface, he is also an inferior warrior.
[Role: Guard]
[Realm: Not in the flow]
The first person to enter the ring was a rough-looking, hairy man. After several rounds of fighting with the guard on the ring, the guard actually raised his hand to signal:
"I surrender!"
"Are you giving up now? I haven't had a good fight yet!" The big man frowned.
And the guard explained awkwardly: "Brother, there are many people waiting for me to compete behind you, please go down and rest quickly!"
"That's right, come down quickly and let me go up and try."
"Yes, you are the only one, right?"
"..."
Seeing how easy the competition was, others were eager to try it.
However, Su Yun saw a clue from it, and the corner of his mouth raised a meaningful arc, "There is something fishy. It seems that the Shen family is not just recruiting guards. It must have other ideas."
If you are recruiting guards, you will naturally recruit the most powerful ones.
But looking at the appearance of the guards in the ring, it seems that anyone with a little bit of skill can be recruited as a guard.
In just one cup of tea, more than a dozen people had already passed the Shen Mansion's test.
But some people who pretended to be fake were still defeated!
After Su Yun went up to fight with the guard for several rounds, he successfully passed the test and was taken to the backyard by the servants of Shen Mansion to sit and rest.
All those who passed the test sat together and would inevitably discuss matters about the Shen Mansion.
"The Shen Mansion has recruited so many guards this time. I wonder what they are going to do?"
"We only recruited people once last month, why are we hiring again? Are all those people dead?"
"Don't talk nonsense, how could so many people die together?"
"..."
