Xu Shouyi, as the guard general, has great power in Licheng, but he is far from being able to control the sky with one hand. It is difficult for him to interfere in the Wuyuan.
It was already very late when I received the news that Protector Gao had come to Licheng and that Wu Yuan had lifted up a 10,000-jin test stone.
He immediately went to find Zhang Da, the dean of the martial arts academy.
Got a shut-in!
Dean Zhang Da didn't even bother to explain to him, he didn't even meet him and directly returned the 'Yi Qi Pill' he had given him.
Although he can't see it, his attitude alone says it all.
This is for cutting!
"Wu Yuan, are you really just lifting a huge boulder of ten thousand kilograms?" Xu Shouyi was a little skeptical: "Simply lifting a boulder of ten thousand kilograms wouldn't make Zhang Da so scared."
Fourteen years old, so what if I have tens of thousands of pounds of strength?
Such talent is indeed extraordinary. As long as he grows up normally, he will almost certainly become a first-rate master.
However, that will be at least more than ten years later!
Moreover, when a warrior is growing up, going through life and death and traveling around the world, death and injury are common!
"So what if he really becomes a first-class master? Gao Yu is extremely strong among first-class masters, and he is almost the same as the top masters." Xu Shouyi thought to himself: "But it is impossible to kill a guard general like me."
"I still have Master to protect me!"
"I still have the possibility of a breakthrough. In the future, I may not be able to become a first-class master." Xu Shouyi still has some confidence in his own breakthrough.
The higher the physical quality, the slower the body declines. Second-rate masters and first-rate masters usually will not age significantly until they are sixty years old. It is common for them to live to a hundred years without serious injuries.
And like the Dibang Grandmaster, even if he is a hundred years old, his physical vitality is still at its peak, but he will recover slower after being injured.
"Everything can only show that Wu Yuan's talent is not only revealed, but also terrifying!" Xu Shouyi made a judgment.
It also made him more distressed!
what to do?
"It's hard to resolve a grudge! Either I plead guilty to the sect." Xu Shouyi thought silently: "It's a death penalty to manipulate the martial arts competition! Even if you take the initiative to plead guilty, even if the master helps, I'm afraid I'll be imprisoned for life, and the family will be destroyed. !”
Would Xu Shouyi be willing to take this road?
"Either, it's procrastination. Bet that Zhang Da won't plead guilty, bet that the sect won't find out, bet that Wu Yuan won't be able to retaliate in the future, and at the same time, be on guard against that bastard Jiang Dongque."
This path, to put it bluntly, is to sit still and wait for death! This is not Xu Shouyi's style.
"Kill!" Xu Shouyi's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Wu Yuan is the crux of the matter. As long as Wu Yuan is killed, how can a Wu family change the world?"
"But."
"We cannot mobilize the Nanmeng Army, or even my family's guards." Xu Shouyi closed his eyes and thought: "Wu Yuan is valued by the sect now. Once he dies, the sect will go crazy and cannot leave a clue."
"Wu Yuan is dead. Once it is found out that it is me, I will definitely die."
Thinking of this, Xu Shouyi opened his eyes.
"Willow leaves!"
Bang~ The hall door opened, Liu Ye walked in, bowed slightly: "General."
"Abandon the plan to assassinate Wu Yuan." Xu Shouyi said softly: "Abandon all plans against the Wu family and destroy all evidence."
"Give up." Liu Ye was slightly stunned, and then said: "I understand."
He didn't know why, but he did as he was told.
"Come down, general, and call Butler Xu." Xu Shouyi said.
The willow leaves recede.
Soon, Butler Xu came to the hall. At this time, the servants had cleaned the entire hall again.
"Go, prepare 10,000 taels of silver, and send it to the Wu family that Wu Yuan belongs to early tomorrow morning." Xu Shouyi said slowly: "As a congratulatory gift for Wu Yuan's entry into the clan!"
"Ten thousand taels of silver? Send it to the Wu family?" Butler Xu was also surprised. Send such a large sum of money directly?
"Go down." Xu Shouyi also did not explain.
Then he dispersed all the guards and servants.
In the hall.
Xu Shouyi was left alone. He confirmed that no one was around, entered the side hall, pulled out a hidden compartment, and took out a complete set of black clothes inside!
Put it on, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
He walked into another side hall and took out all the gold tickets and most of the silver tickets from a large box.
When you are a general, you have to maintain your reputation, win the hearts of your soldiers, and have fun, all of which cost money.
"I'm really unwilling."
"I am a dignified general guarding a county, and I actually want to take the initiative to seek help from the dark forces?" Xu Shouyi sighed to himself.
He understands that the price to pay is very high, but this is the safest way.
Pack everything up.
Turn off the lights.
"I want to rest and sleep. No one can disturb me without my order." Xu Shouyi gave the order.
"Yes!" said the guard standing far away.
Immediately.
Xu Shouyi turned into a black shadow and blended into the darkness, quietly avoiding the heavy guards guarding the general's mansion.
As a second-rate expert and familiar with everything in the General's Mansion, naturally no one among the guards of the General's Mansion could detect him.
Along the way, along many remote streets.
Just arrived in the south of the city.
...Here is a very inconspicuous restaurant. One of the red lanterns at the door has fallen off, and the other one is also dirty. The light is weak and seems to be extinguished at any time. It looks very shabby!
Uninformed people.
I will just treat this place as a run-down restaurant.
But a very small number of high-level figures in Licheng, as well as some of the most important figures in the dark forces, are aware of its horror!
This is a stronghold of Jiu Sha Mansion in Licheng!
"Nine Killing Mansion?" Xu Shouyi, who was wrapped in black clothes, looked at the red lantern with a hint of doubt in his heart.
Really here?
But he carefully recalled the information he got, and it was absolutely correct.
This is a terrorist organization and dark force that has brought trouble to the world. It has been passed down for thousands of years and has aroused the anger of the heavens and the people. Many top masters in the past have wanted to get rid of it!
But no one has ever succeeded.
To this day, only in the unparalleled Jin Dynasty, the Jiu Sha Mansion is extremely low-key.
As for other countries and major sects’ territories?
They all have the shadow of Jiusha Mansion.
All forces are unwilling to provoke such dark forces. As long as the Nine Kills Mansion does not act too outrageously, most of them will turn a blind eye.
Xu Shouyi hid his figure.
Stepped into the restaurant.
"Sir, please stop. Our store is closed. You can go somewhere else to have a drink." A waiter in linen clothes came up respectfully, but he was here to chase away the customers.
"There are customers from all over the world, how can we close the shop?" Xu Shouyi said softly.
"Thousands of people are killed just for silver. I wonder if the guest officer will give you a red card or approve it?" The waiter in the shop still maintained a respectful attitude.
"Hanghong!" Xu Shouyi spat out two words.
The red is a bounty, the red is the assassin accepting the mission!
"The world is so busy, I wonder where our guest is coming from?" the waiter said again.
"Copper!" Xu Shouyi turned his palm, and in his palm was a strange special token that seemed to be made of copper.
The front of the token looks like mountains, but on the back is a ferocious word 'kill'!
The Nine Kills Mansion is the top dark force. Not everyone can come to offer rewards. They must have a high enough status or prove their own strength.
As the county guard general, Xu Shouyi received the 'Bronze Killing Order'!
This is only the lowest level token.
"Sir, please go out and turn left, start at the twenty-first store, go upstairs, and someone will be responsible for hanging the red flag." The waiter in the store confirmed the authenticity of the token.
Xu Shouyi nodded.
He immediately understood that this dilapidated restaurant was just a transit point in the Nine Kills Mansion, and the other party was not that careless.
Go out and move forward.
Arrive as instructed, open the door and go upstairs.
There is only one small cubicle here.
In the darkness, there was a woman sitting vaguely, with a graceful figure, and only her cold eyes were clearly visible.
"Guahong, please tell me the detailed identity of Hongchen Guest, all the information you know, and finally tell me your additional requirements!" the woman said coldly.
"I want to kill Wu Yuan of the Wu family of Xingwu Buzhuang! He is fourteen years old and a disciple of the Junzong Martial Academy!" Xu Shouyi said quickly: "He should have the strength of a martial artist..."
Xu Shouyi told the information he knew.
"I hope that the clues left by the final killing of Wu Yuan will lead to what the 'Great Jin Empire' did!" Xu Shouyi said.
When the sect investigates, there must be a scapegoat. Who is the most suitable? The first thing Xu Shouyi thought of was the Jin Empire.
The woman listened and wrote on a piece of paper!
"Just a moment please."
"We need to collect information here and confirm the final amount required to win the prize." The woman said, handing the paper into the darkness behind her.
There was a sound, and then it became quiet.
long time.
When Xu Shouyi was impatient with waiting, he finally handed a note to the woman from the darkness.
The woman took it and looked at it.
"Before I quote, I need to pay a hundred taels of silver first!" the woman said softly.
"Delivery first?" Xu Shouyi frowned.
"This is a rule." The woman said calmly: "Collecting all kinds of information is a waste of time and energy!"
Xu Shouyi gritted his teeth and handed over a banknote.
As powerful as him, I had to secretly curse 'black' in my heart!
After accepting the banknote, the woman said directly: "If I want to kill Wu Yuan according to your request, the price is two hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"Two hundred thousand taels?" Xu Shouyi glared, with a hint of anger in his voice: "Hire a third-rate master for only a thousand taels of silver! How difficult is it to kill a martial artist? You need so much money?"
He is prepared to pay a price.
But two hundred thousand taels of silver exceeded his expectations. This was enough to hire a top-notch expert!
"It's not difficult to kill Wu Yuan!"
The woman's voice contained no emotion: "The difficult part is how to disguise the evidence and how to avoid being noticed by the Hengyun Sect."
The news that Wu Yuan would be specially recruited spread very quickly, but the Nine Killers Mansion had already collected it.
The asking price of 200,000 taels of silver was mainly due to the Hengyun Sect!
The risks behind it are huge.
To assassinate Wu Yuan, the cost of Jiusha Mansion may only be ten thousand taels of silver.
But once Wu Yuan dies and the Hengyun Sect finds out that it was the Nine Kills Mansion, they will definitely carry out a raid on the Nine Kills Mansion strongholds in the territory. By then, the loss will be at least one million taels!
so.
The final confirmed price is 200,000 taels!
"Two hundred thousand taels? Too expensive! Too dark!" Xu Shouyi shook his head. He had a lot of wealth and could afford it.
But many of them are fixed industries and cannot be realized in a short time.
Moreover.
Again, it must be able to withstand subsequent inspections!
Once everything was cashed out and a large amount of cash was withdrawn, the sect finally investigated the matter and listed him as a suspect. How to explain it?
"One hundred and twenty thousand taels! That's the highest price I can offer." Xu Shouyi gritted his teeth.
"In our Jiu Sha Mansion, we only approve and accept reds, but we don't negotiate on price." The woman said calmly: "If you don't have enough money, please go downstairs!"
