Long Qie looked at Wu Nian, then turned to look at Tieniu, Wang Gui and others around him, feeling deeply. After thinking for a moment, he placed the knife wrapped in cloth on the table.
There was a "click".
Wu Nian and others didn't even glance at the long package, they just stared at Long Qie.
They had already seen that it was a knife.
"My ancestral home is in Guangchuan Prefecture, and my family has been running a boxing gym for generations. Five years ago, the Meng Yuan people went south and attacked Guangchuan Prefecture. My whole family was killed by the Meng Yuan people."
Long Qie's expression was calm, but his eyes were gradually becoming bloodshot, and his voice was slightly trembling. His hands were clenched into fists, and veins were exposed on the backs of his hands.
Wu Nian and others fell silent. Their simple words contained endless hatred.
The man in front of me was like a volcano.
It looks calm, but inside it is turbulent.
Wu Nian also roughly understood what Long Qie meant.
"I survived by luck and fled to Dingxian County with my fellow villagers. I taught people to practice boxing while doing some shady business. In order to save money, I could raise troops to fight against the Mongolian people."
Long Qie gradually calmed down, raised his head and looked at Wu Nian and said.
"Someone asked you to kill me?" Wu Nian's tone was very calm.
"Yes. Someone offered you two hundred dollars to buy your life." Long Qie nodded and said simply.
Tieniu, Wang Gui and others tensed their bodies and stared at Long Qie, as if Long Qie would go on a rampage and kill people in the next moment.
Wu Nian was very calm.
When a killer reveals his identity and purpose, he is no longer a killer.
"I dare to kill anyone, including scholars, military households, common people, wealthy businessmen, and even officials. But I will not kill people like you."
"Brother, train your troops well. I think the Meng Yuan people will soon attack Liaodong in an all-out way. Beishan Fort is not safe."
After saying that, Long Qie picked up the knife on the table, stood up and walked towards the door. Tieniu and others glanced at Wu Nian and saw that Wu Nian did not move, so they did not stop him.
"By the way, brother. If you have any difficulties, you can come to Dingxian to find me." Having said this, Long Qie reported his address, then left the kitchen, strode away from the Wu family and Beishan Fort.
"Sir Xiaoqi. This person is by no means a good person, but he is a man and a hero." Li Yong was silent for a while and said with emotion.
The others nodded.
Wu Nian also admitted that Long Qi was a man, but he thought more of himself.
"What a success. I actually paid two hundred dollars to hire a killer. Long Qie is a professional boxer and a veteran of the martial arts. Even if we fight, I may not lose. But..."
Wu Nian narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
We can't delay it any longer, we must get rid of him.
"Lao Li, Tieniu, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng. Let me tell you straight, I want to kill Cheng Gao. Can you help me?"
Wu Nian raised his head, looked around at everyone present, and said in a deep voice.
The four people looked at each other without any hesitation. Li Yong took the lead, nodded heavily and said: "Okay."
Wu Nian's face showed a look of relief, these are real brothers.
"Old Li, Wang Gui. You two don't have to protect me anymore. Just watch Cheng Gao's every move and look for opportunities."
Wu Nian glanced at the two of them, then raised his head and said loudly to Tieniu, "You two will continue to follow me every step of the way."
"yes."
Everyone responded in unison.
Immediately, Li Yong and Wang Gui packed up their belongings, returned to their homes, and followed Wu Nian's order to start keeping a close eye on Cheng Gao.
"Brothers. Let's go and see Cheng Gao." Wu Nian straightened his clothes, stood up and said with his head held high.
"This..." Tieniu and Zhang Sheng were surprised.
Tieniu said in confusion: "Master Xiaoqi. He wants to kill you, why are you going to see him?"
"It doesn't matter. He has hired a killer to kill me, which proves that he will never dare to kill me in broad daylight. I will laugh at him."
Wu Nian sneered and strode out of the kitchen.
Tieniu and Zhang Sheng looked at each other, feeling convinced, and followed them in big strides.
The three men came to the door of Cheng Gao's house aggressively. The concierge of Chengjia also recognized Wu Nian and quickly called people over to confront the three of them.
Wu Nian did not know these slaves, and said in a deep voice: "Go and tell Cheng Gao that I, Wu Nian, want to see him."
"Wait." The concierge saw that Wu Nian was very energetic, so he shrank his neck, left two words, and hurried to report.
Back house.
Cheng Gao was having fun with his beautiful concubine Chen.
This Chen is only fifteen years old, and she was originally a girl from a brothel. He took a fancy to her, bought her and became his eighth concubine, and she was favored by him.
The three-hundred-guan deal was concluded, and Cheng Gao was in a good mood, just waiting for Wu Nian's head to fall.
"Master. Wu Nian, along with Tieniu and Zhang Sheng, came to the door of our house aggressively and said they wanted to see you."
The concierge hurriedly broke in and reported.
Cheng Gao's hand suddenly froze, showing a look of surprise and uncertainty.
Could it be that the matter was exposed?
impossible.
Cheng Gao took a deep breath, composed himself, and said in a deep voice: "No."
"yes."
The concierge responded and hurriedly turned back to the door.
"Let's go. Our master said we won't see you." The porter stood in front of a group of married servants and waved his hand.
This was as expected by Wu Nian. He put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "Cheng Gao. Do you have the guts to do it, but don't you have the guts to come out and see me?"
"You spent two hundred dollars to bribe a charlatan to kill me. The matter has been exposed."
"The killer respected me as a human being. Not only did he not kill me, he also made friends with me. You didn't expect it."
Wu Nian was right at the gate, yelling and scolding, and laughing as much as he wanted.
His loud voice immediately attracted the attention of the neighbors, who came out to watch.
"Is what this kid said true?"
"It's possible. Have you forgotten? This guy led his soldiers to rebel against General Cheng Banner and seize food."
"It's a mess, it's a mess. The soldiers want to rebel against the general flag, and the general flag asks a killer to kill Xiao Qi. It's just a mess."
This incident quickly spread throughout Beishan Fort, and military households were talking about it.
Cheng Gao hired a killer, but he hasn't been killed yet. When the matter was revealed, Wu Nian blocked the door to his family and almost scolded her.
Not to mention Cheng Gao's reputation plummeted, he even lost his face.
From now on, you must cover your face with a cloth when you go out to meet people.
The domestic slaves in front of the gate of Cheng Mansion looked at Wu Nian who was yelling curses and looked at each other without daring to make a move.
In the back house.
Cheng Gao's face turned green.
He slapped his concubine and knocked her to the ground. I wanted to go out and scold Wu Nian several times, but I didn't dare.
This is getting darker and darker.
What made him even more angry was.
He clearly paid three hundred dollars to buy Wu Nian's life.
Now Wu Nian says two hundred strings.
Wu Yuan, the leader of his family soldiers, actually received a kickback?
Cheng Gao was so angry that smoke was rising from his head, and he sternly said to the servant beside him: "Go and find Wu Yuan for me."
