After arriving at Chenjiadu, there were no lights along the street in the dark night, and there were only a few shops hanging lanterns on the street.
The sky is full of stars and the moon shines brightly, and walking on the road is smooth.
Ji Ruge didn't bring her sword and found the way to the Chen family's mansion empty-handed.
A majestic stone lion stands in front of the door, and two red lanterns hang at the corner of the building.
"Dong dong dong..."
Ji Ruge slowly walked up the stone steps and knocked on the door.
The waiter on duty slowly opened the door and asked, "Who are you? Why are you knocking on the door?"
Ji Ruge said coldly: "Debt collector."
When the boy heard this, he frowned and shouted in surprise: "Debt collector??! You don't even want to ask, where is this place? Can I owe you money?"
Ji Ruge replied: "Tell your master, I am Ji Ruge."
When the boy heard this, he frowned and scolded:
"Ji Ruge? Haha, I've never heard of it. Where did you come from? Is this a place where you can run wild? Hurry up...get out!..."
As soon as the boy said the word 'go' out of his mouth, there was already an extra hand on his neck.
Ji Ruge's hand.
In his mind, being a killer requires surprise and speed.
He had no intention of killing this worthy servant, and only held the pulse gate on his neck with his hand.
"Call Chen Daofeng out."
The boy didn't see clearly how Ji Ruge took action, and his neck was already strangled.
"If you don't want to die, just call Chen Daofeng and tell Ji Ruge that he's here to collect the bill. If you call a group of servants out and don't see Chen Daofeng, I guarantee you won't survive tonight." Ji Ruge said slowly.
The boy was breathing hard, his face turned red, and he kept nodding.
Ji Ruge let go of his hand.
The boy opened the door and led him into the inner courtyard.
In the inner courtyard of the Chen Mansion, there are avenues of flowers and plants, rockeries and flowing water, and the moon hangs on perches.
Under a precious huanghuali tree, Ji Ruge stood quietly.
"Wait a moment, I'll inform the head of the house right away." The boy on duty called to the other two boys who came over to accompany him, and he hurried towards the inner palace.
Not long after, Chen Daofeng, the chief rudder of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, walked out with two maids.
Chen Daofeng clasped his fists and saluted, "I'm sorry for the delay in greeting our distinguished guests. I'm sorry."
Ji Ruge replied, "No problem."
Both maids held trays of brocade handkerchiefs in their hands.
In the brocade handkerchief tray, a thick stack of silver notes was brought over by one of the maids.
Ji Ruge reached out to grab it, opened the clothes on his chest, and stuffed them into the inner bag.
"Ling, please return it."
Ji Ruge looked at Chen Daofeng expressionlessly.
The order is the Seven Killing Order, a token that every killer on the seven floors has.
The Seventh Floor of Muyun Mountain is the number one killer organization in the world. It is located at the intersection of two barbarian countries and the Central Plains. It is a powerful force.
Each killer on the seven floors has his own seven-kill order, and the code name of each killer is written on the token.
The Seven Killing Order, made of black iron, is about an inch long and two fingers wide, shaped like an apricot, with the character "Qi" on the front and the character "Ji" on the back.
All Seven Kill Orders have numbers on the front that represent the seven floors, from "one" to "seven", signifying the killer's level. The larger the number, the higher the level. On the back are the killer's code names.
Ji Ruge's Seven Killing Order has 'Ji' on the back, which is his code name for Ji Ruge.
The killers on the seven floors, one person and one order.
After accepting the order from the employer, he will send his own Seven-Kill Order. After the task is completed, the employer will return the commission and Seven-Kill Order.
Two maids, two brocade and pear wood trays, each with a layer of banknotes stacked inside.
Ji Ruge took the remaining commission from his killing Kongjian, but he didn't see his seven-kill order in the tray.
Chen Daofeng looked at the other maid next to him who was holding a banknote, and winked.
The maid brought the banknote to Ji Ruge.
Chen Daofeng clasped his fists and said: "Your Excellency has avenged my great revenge. I want to use money to buy this token and send it to my beloved wife's grave to bury it in memory of my deceased wife."
After he finished speaking, he walked closer and pointed at the thick stack of banknotes in the tray.
"Here is a 10,000-tael silver note, which is the same as the price of your mission. I wonder if you are willing to leave the Seven-Kill Order."
Ji Ruge looked at Chen Daofeng indifferently. There was only one seven-kill order for each of the seven-story assassins.
Give orders to kill, collect money to pay back the orders!
Iron-clad rules.
He avenged Chen Daofeng for killing his wife, but Chen Daofeng wanted to leave the Seven Kill Order to mourn his deceased wife.
Absolutely impossible.
"I only have one order, I won't sell it." Ji Ruge said in a deep voice.
It has to be said that there are countless Seven Killing Orders on the seventh floor, but Ji Ruge's Seven Killing Order is the most special.
Because his number is "Qi".
Chen Daofeng clasped his fists, "I just want to keep it to mourn my late wife. Just ask for any amount you want. As long as I, Chen Daofeng, can afford it, I will definitely give it to you."
Chen Daofeng is the chief rudder of the Chamber of Commerce, and he knows very little about the whole world. He has no idea what the number "qi" on the seventh-floor seven-kill order means.
He also didn't know what kind of powerful character Ji Ruge was, the killer who took him on this mission.
The "Qi" word Seven Killing Order is the top killer token that can enter the seventh floor of the seventh floor.
There are many killers on the seventh floor who have the "One" seven-kill order. From "One" to "Seven", the number of high-level killers gradually decreases. The higher the number, the rarer the Seven-kill Order.
As for the number "Qi", in terms of numbers, there is only one character "Qi"! Only the top killers on the seventh floor will have them.
With a hint of anger, Ji Ruge said in a cold voice, "Come back, your order."
Chen Daofeng looked troubled, but looking at Ji Ruge's appearance, he couldn't keep the Seven Killing Order today.
A few boys on one side were holding lanterns to provide him with light.
"Hey, that's all." Chen Daofeng slowly took out a small oval-shaped token from his sleeve pocket, looking at it blankly with a hint of sadness.
Ji Ruge slowly stretched out her hand and spread it out, her intention being clear.
Chen Daofeng had strong financial resources in the Jiangnan generation and had contacts with many masters of the big sects. He learned about the existence of the seven-story building from a close friend of his.
So I spent a lot of money to hang up the task of killing Kong Jian on the seventh floor.
He didn't expect that the person who took over the mission could kill Kong Jian easily.
He once sent many powerful masters from his disciples to assassinate Kong Jian but failed. Unexpectedly, the people from the seventh floor took action and ended the matter.
I was surprised, but also full of admiration for the existence of the seventh floor.
He slowly handed the token back to Ji Ruge. Ji Ruge took it and turned around to leave.
Chen Daofeng waved his sleeves to the boy on one side and said, "Send the distinguished guest out."
Ji Ruge left the Chen Mansion to avoid anyone following her, walked out of the alley, and lightly jumped onto a restaurant. On the roof, several people jumped out, used Qing Kung Fu, and ran for several miles.
After confirming that no one was around, his face returned to the original look of a young man. With the banknote in his arms, he hired a boat and returned to the south bank of Xiyun Lake.
Leave the city and return to Uncle Liu's Tavern.
The door to the tavern's courtyard had been closed, and Xiao Yu gently pushed the door open and went in.
In the courtyard, on the stone table, there are no longer the bowls and chopsticks used by Uncle Liu to eat noodles. It seems that Uncle Liu collected them and washed them himself.
Uncle Six was not coming back tonight, so Xiao Yu jumped up to the old locust tree beside the courtyard.
He carefully wrapped the banknotes in paper, then wrapped them in a layer of oilcloth, and hid them together under the thick thatch of the eaves where he kept the banknotes.
Then quietly return to the house and rest peacefully.
Lying on the bed, Xiaoyu began to recall the second mission he took on Jiangnan.
Luo Congsheng, the master of Anning Temple in Wuxi.
I had a chance encounter with the middle-aged Taoist priest who was about forty years old and had a round face, long eyebrows, a flat nose, and small eyes that I met in the tavern in the morning.
During the month he stayed in the tavern, he had already found out the location and appearance of every target.
We met in the tavern today, and listened to the conversation between Xu Dingshan of the Yushan Sword Sect and An Ning Guanluo Congcheng, and confirmed the target.
