Seeing that Zhao Rang was unmoved, the woman seemed not to know what to say for a moment, so she could only sit quietly with empty eyes.
After a long time, she sighed quietly.
Zhao Rang yawned and said:
"It's getting late. Since there's nothing to talk about, please go back. I can still sleep for two hours."
"Of course, the money will be paid to you."
After saying that, Zhao Rang turned sideways and prepared to take out the money from his arms.
Upon seeing this, the woman immediately rushed forward, buried her head in Zhao Rang's arms, and clasped his wrist tightly with both hands:
"I don't want money."
"I can give you more."
The woman still shook her head.
This made Zhao Rang confused.
Such women often say they don't want money because they want more money.
Why would she say this if she wasn't asking for more?
As a woman who understands men very well, she should not be able to see that Zhao Rang did not come to this shop just to drink and have sex.
So she should happily take the money and walk away, determined not to get entangled.
What's more, Zhao Rang still carries a knife.
"I don't want money because money can't cover the deal I made with you!"
Seeing that Zhao Rang didn't refuse too much, the woman released her hands, raised her head and said.
Zhao Rang smiled and said:
"I don't understand Buddhism and I don't practice Taoism. But I found that people who live near Taoist temples and temples have a common problem!"
The woman frowned slightly and asked:
"What's the common problem?"
Zhao Rang sat up, stared into the woman's eyes, and said word by word:
"Too self-righteous!"
The woman's face turned cold.
Obviously Zhao Rang's words made him a little unhappy.
Self-righteous is not a good word.
Anyone who is self-righteous will not end well.
This has been true throughout the ages.
"You haven't heard what I have to say, but you are so sure. Who of us is more self-righteous?"
Zhao Rang was speechless.
After thinking about it, he felt that there was some truth in what she said, so he nodded for her to continue.
"I know what's in the one hundred and eighty-eight boxes at the Admiralty Escort Agency."
Zhao Rang said oh expressionlessly.
The woman didn’t mind and continued:
“Is this worth more than silver?
Zhao Rang nodded sincerely and replied:
"That's right! This is indeed worth more than silver. If it must be converted into silver, it must be carried by a horse-drawn cart. A small purse like mine will definitely not be able to hold it."
The woman smiled, and Zhao Rang's answer made her very satisfied.
"but……"
"but?"
Zhao Rang paused and said:
"But you have the wrong buyer."
"The same thing will be priceless to people who care about it, but it will be like dung to people who don't care."
"You mean you don't care?!"
The women's voices became shrill.
She suddenly became very angry!
It was obvious that Zhao Rang showed great concern just now.
Now she felt like she had been tricked by Zhao Rang!
Zhao Rang was noncommittal.
The best way to deal with a woman who gets angry is to ignore her, which will make her even more angry until she slams the door and walks away.
But the woman quickly calmed down again.
Because she figured something out.
Even if Zhao Rang was interested in the 188 boxes from the Admiralty Escort Agency, he would never reveal it to her.
The most important thing is that with Zhao Rang's ability, it is not difficult to know what is in these boxes.
In other words, the conditions he offered were not attractive enough.
If you want to make Zhao Rang's heart flutter, you must show some real skills.
Just like she wanted to use her own body at first.
It's a pity that Zhao Rang is not a person who misses the gentle countryside.
If she had a good bottle of wine, she might have a chance.
Too bad she didn't.
There was another moment of silence. The woman's expression was uncertain, and she clenched and unclenched her hands.
Finally, she seemed to have made up her mind and said:
"I know the antidote to that girl's poison!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Rang almost choked on his own saliva.
Of course he didn't expect that this woman's turn would be so drastic!
But he didn't hesitate and immediately drew out the black steel knife.
The cold blade was placed on the woman's graceful neck, and a shallow mark had been left.
When they were on the mountain, Qingqing made it clear to him.
The poison is the poison of Tangmen in Shuzhong in the south.
The person who poisoned must also be from the Tang clan in Shuzhong in the south.
However, only a few people have the antidote to this poison.
Qing Qing should have said it, but Zhao Rang didn't remember it.
As a family that has lasted for a long time and is much older than Dawei, there must be many factions in it, and they are complicated with each other. Therefore, the antidote to the unique poison is like the arrow ordered by the family leader. After all, nothing in this world is more important than life and death.
Compared to this woman's wild words, saying that she had the antidote to the senior sister's poison, Zhao Rang certainly believed what Qing Qing said more.
The antidote of the Tang family is only in the hands of the top few or even one person in the family, such as Bai Hezi and Shishuzu of Baihe Mountain.
Such people are determined not to personally take risks and come to the North.
So Zhao Rang dared to assert that this woman was lying.
She might be a member of the Tang family in Shuzhong in the south, but there is no way she has the antidote!
"What a great knife!"
Facing the threat of Zhao Rang's blade, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she seriously appreciated Zhao Rang's sword.
"It's pretty quick!"
Zhao Rang said.
The woman nodded without denying it.
Since she can see that this knife is good, she naturally knows that if Zhao Rang holds a good knife in his hand, it will be quick.
"Then you're still going to lie?"
Zhao Rang said coldly.
The woman said very innocently:
"What did I lie to you about?"
Zhao Rang replied:
"You said you had the antidote."
The woman smiled and stretched her neck.
A thin red line suddenly appeared on the beautiful neck.
"I never said I had."
"I mean, I know!"
Zhao Rang thought about it carefully and realized that she did indeed mean 'know'.
But in his cognition, there is no difference between knowing and having.
If you don’t know, you can’t have it.
As long as you know it, you can always find a way.
So Zhao Rang felt that the woman was quibbling, and the pressure on her hand was still strong, making the red line on her neck continue to become thicker and longer.
"You can swing the knife all you want."
The woman noticed the stinging pain on her neck and said calmly.
At the same time, she also knew that Zhao Rang needed a reason.
A reason why she did it.
It is not easy to be a traitor.
Beforehand, the other party must have offered a sufficient price.
No one would believe it if she delivered it to her door like this.
"The reasons you need are the three conditions I need."
Zhao Rang nodded immediately without thinking.
No matter what a woman says, you can listen first.
"First, I want money."
Zhao Rang suddenly laughed.
She clearly said she didn't want money before.
It seems that I still have less money and want more.
People are not afraid of inconsistency, what they are afraid of is that when this happens, others will not forget it!
"It's not ordinary money. We can talk about this in detail later."
"Okay, what about second?"
Zhao Rang stopped laughing and asked.
"Second, I want you to kill someone, and third, I want you to take me somewhere."
The woman stated the remaining two conditions in one breath.
But both conditions omit the most crucial thing.
Killing someone, not saying who it is.
I went to a place, and I didn’t say where it was.
"You're really smart, really."
Zhao Rang praised him very carefully.
He didn't know who the woman in front of him was, what she had done before, and what she wanted to do now.
But he knew that this woman understood men better than Qingqing and was smarter than Qingqing.
She knows what to do and when to do it. Throw something out, say a few words.
Now she has successfully aroused Zhao Rang's curiosity.
Regardless of whether she would agree to his conditions in the end, Zhao Rang wanted to know how much money she wanted, who she wanted to die, and where she wanted to go.
"You have to calculate how much you want. But it must be enough for me to survive until I die."
Zhao Rang shook his head and said that the account could not be settled.
There are many kinds of life.
A meal of porridge and pickles every day, lying there motionless, and keeping breathing is one way.
Luxuriant clothes and fine food, flying eagles and fighting dogs, and singing and singing every night are also one kind.
Different living methods are so different that it is impossible to estimate.
"Who do you want dead?"
So Zhao Rang skipped this question and went to the second one.
"Hagoromo."
The woman said without hesitation.
"I think the person you killed was Yuyi. I think the place you took me to was the river."
"And the last two are not conditions at all, because this is what you have to do. Only the first one is a real condition, but it is not difficult for you."
After saying this, Zhao Rang removed the blade from her neck.
"I admit going to the river. But why is killing Taoist Priest Hagoromo something I had to do in the first place?"
The woman answered simply.
"Because she is the most critical presence in the things Bai Hezi entrusts you with."
Zhao Rang said calmly:
"You seem to know everything."
The woman replied "modestly":
"I only know a little more than you do, but I still have to pay for it with my freedom and my life."
"not enough."
Zhao Rang gave the answer categorically.
How can you say it is true if you make empty talk?
What's more, this woman is not decent, she is evil to death.
"Hmm...then you have to kill Yuyi to get the antidote, go..."
"I don't have much friendship with that little senior sister."
Zhao Rang interrupted her and said.
He had already guessed that the antidote should be at Hagoromo's place, if what the woman said before was true.
"It's true that you don't have much friendship with her. But what about Qingqing?"
Zhao Rang remained silent.
Although he felt that Qingqing would not fall for it so easily.
"What about yourself?"
These four short words rang in Zhao Rang's ears.
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Rang asked coldly.
The woman burst into laughter like a silver bell and said:
"There are two kinds of wind. One is visible and tangible, called bright wind. The other is invisible and traceless, called dark wind!"
"Have you ever been walking and suddenly felt creepy? Have you ever shivered suddenly despite the bright summer sun?"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, she suddenly reached out and held Zhao Rang's wrist again.
Zhao Rang thought she was trying to grab the knife, so he subconsciously threw his arm back.
The sleeves fluttered up and fell to the crook of the arm.
The knife in Zhao Rang's hand fell to the ground with a clang.
He was frightened and took half a step back.
The woman took a step forward, and the distance between the two became closer.
She gently raised her other hand, her fingers slender and as white as jade.
He curled up slightly, made a claw-like shape, and clasped towards Zhao Rang's left shoulder.
At this moment, Zhao Rang felt like he had been hit by a heavy hammer, his mind was roaring, his body felt like it was struck by lightning, and his whole body felt like it was bound by an invisible force, and he couldn't even lift half of his strength.
He wanted to step back, but his feet were like roots, embedded in the floor tiles, making it difficult to move an inch.
He wanted to swing the knife, but holding the handle of the knife was like holding a thousand-jin discus, and he couldn't use any strength.
He was frightened and took half a step back. However, his body went against his will and could not move an inch.
A woman's ghostly voice sounded in my ears:
"You have been poisoned by my evil wind, and now you can't use even half of your strength."
Zhao Rang felt awe in his heart. He knew that he had been careless... This woman was much more difficult to deal with than he thought.
"Now, let's calculate how much the first condition is."
The woman smiled slightly, raised her hand, and tapped Zhao Rang's chest gently.
Zhao Rang's whole body was shaken as if he was struck by lightning.
I just felt a strange power penetrate my body and spread all over my body instantly.
This power was like a ghost in the dark, occupying his body silently.
The woman's fingers danced like strings, and he was like a marionette, completely unable to resist.
As the woman's fingers beat, he felt his body begin to change.
Waves of heat surged through the body, like flames burning.
The skin also began to become hot, as if it had been thrown into boiling water.
A blush appeared on the woman's jade-white face, her lips were slightly opened, revealing a row of shell teeth, and she said softly: "Now, you can tell me the highest price you can afford."
Zhao Rang's heart was in chaos. He was completely controlled by this woman. He could only try to stay awake and said: "I...I don't know."
The woman smiled slightly and continued to move her fingers.
Zhao Rang felt that his body was almost unable to bear it...
Suddenly, he felt his heart jolt, as if it was about to burst out of his chest.
The body also became void in an instant, as if it was about to turn into a wisp of smoke.
Then everything fell into darkness.
In a daze, Zhao Rang seemed to see Qing Qing, and even wanted to signal Qing Qing with his eyes to ask her to leave here quickly.
But Qingqing was right in front of him, but it was as if he couldn't see it, still standing there, watching quietly.
"It's easy to avoid the bright wind, but it's hard to guard against the dark wind."
The woman's slender jade fingers gently touched Zhao Rang's shoulder. In an instant, Zhao Rang felt a warm current flowing from his shoulders to his whole body.
Wherever the warm current goes, the cold wind recedes.
The woman took back her hand, and Zhao Rang suddenly felt that his body belonged to him again and he could control it again.
But at this time, his clothes were soaked and clinging to his body, which was very uncomfortable.
Especially the shoulder that was pressed by the woman's hand just now is still a little numb.
"who are you?"
Zhao Rang took a step back, picked up the knife on the ground, and pointed it at the woman.
His body had fully recovered, but the fear in his heart still lingered.
This woman seemed more mysterious than he imagined.
The woman looked at Zhao Rang with a smile, and did not avoid his question. Instead, she said in a soft tone:
"I am just a dark wind."
"Yin Feng...aren't you still a human?"
Zhao Rang asked jokingly.
"It doesn't matter whether I am a person or not. What is important is that my conditions are not excessive and are fair to both of us. I can still help you."
The woman said calmly.
"Help me? Help me for what?" Zhao Rang looked at the woman in confusion.
"I will help you complete what Bai Hezi asked you to do, and it will also make things easier for you after you go to the river."
The woman smiled slightly and said something that surprised Zhao Rang.
Zhao Rang couldn't help but laugh out loud. He looked at the woman up and down.
"Just you?"
"It's up to me, as long as you fulfill my three conditions."
the woman replied.
Zhao Rang looked at the woman's serious eyes and fell silent again.
This woman didn't seem to be joking.
