The shopkeeper nodded, opened a wine jar, and took out three gold posts. These were not ordinary posts, but posts that no one wanted to receive.
Asking for life in the Yama Hall, the night dragon sends funeral notices. But most of the people who received this gold post are already dead. This is the legendary Yelong funeral post.
Each Yelong funeral post contains the name of the assassin. At the same time, there is also a piece of information collected by Tianxia Winery, detailing the assassin's diet, daily life, dislikes and preferences, etc., all of which are beneficial to the assassination. All information will be listed to facilitate the killer's actions.
Ziyuan opened Yelong's funeral invitations and read them one by one. When she saw the last Yelong funeral invitations, she couldn't help but be startled and said: "The master of the Ye family - Ye Zhaoting."
"That's right."
Zi Yuan was obviously very confident about the first two assassins, so he didn't take them seriously, but when it came to Ye Zhaoting, he couldn't help but frown slightly, it seemed like a tricky job.
Of course, if she is not strong enough, she can also choose not to accept it. If she doesn't answer, there will still be a more powerful killer from Yelong Pavilion who will carry out the assassination mission.
She said: "Who wants to kill him?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The employer is very interesting. He has not shown his true identity to others. He is a very cautious person. However, according to my guess, it is probably someone from the Ye family who hired a killer to kill himself."
"It's not easy to kill a great master, and their clan leader Ye Longyuan is the number one warrior in the Guangwu Divine Continent."
"Not anymore."
"Oh? So who is it?"
"According to the information obtained by Tianxia Winery, Ye Zhenfeng is in the realm of the Emperor Sect."
"Ye Zhenfeng? Ha! Tianxia Liquor House is worthy of being the spy of Yelong Pavilion. It is said that he just came back from Sihai not long ago, you already know about it?"
The shopkeeper was shocked and said, "Does the girl know this person?"
Zi Yuan nodded and said: "I knew this person when I was in Hengwu Kingdom, but I never had a confrontation with him, and I didn't know his level. I only knew that he was a very powerful opponent, but I didn't expect that he was already a master of the Emperor Sect. I didn’t expect him to be from the Ye family of Guangwu Shenzhou.”
The shopkeeper nodded.
Zi Yuan returned Yelong's funeral note to the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "Since the Ye family has such a master, I think it's better to forget it."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "As far as I know, Ye Zhenfeng has left the Ye family."
Zi Yuan was stunned and said: "Left? Where did he go?"
"This has not been found. However, since the Emperor Sect master has left, there is no chance of killing Ye Zhaoting. You may wish to consider it."
Zi Yuan hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "The reward for killing the master of the Ye family is indeed generous. It is pointless to always do something that is sure to gain wealth and honor at risk. In this case, I will accept it. "
"Girl." Seeing Zi Yuan turn around, the shopkeeper stopped her again.
She looked back at the shopkeeper, smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
"I would like to remind the girl that the killer only has one chance. If the girl is not completely sure, it is best not to go. After all, either he dies or you die."
Zi Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper, for reminding me."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The girl never asked my name."
Ziyuan shook Yelong's funeral invitation in her hand, and then said: "Every wine shop owner in the world is the same. There is no difference between knowing or not knowing."
"There is a difference. I am different from them."
"Oh? What's the difference?"
The shopkeeper stretched out his left hand, slowly rolled up his right sleeve, and said, "My name is Jin Tieshou."
Zi Yuan was startled when she saw that Jin Iron Shou's right hand turned out to be an iron arm.
Jin Tieshou continued: "When I was young, I wasn't called by this name.
The gold medal killer of Yelong Pavilion! "
"Have you ever been a gold medal killer?" Zi Yuan was startled. She really didn't realize that such an ordinary shopkeeper could actually be a gold medal killer.
Jin Tieshou's face did not show any trace of pride, he still had a very ordinary appearance and a very ordinary smile.
He said: "So I said that I am different from them. It took me seven years to transform myself from a killer to an ordinary shopkeeper. If I didn't tell anyone, no one would have expected me when I was young. , was also a killer."
Zi Yuan nodded and said, "That's true."
The reason why she didn't ask his name just now was because he was too ordinary, so ordinary that she didn't bother to know his name.
Anyway, there are so many wineries and shopkeepers in the world, so she doesn't need to deliberately write down the name of each shopkeeper. Moreover, most of these shopkeepers are identical and ordinary, so they will not attract attention.
However, the golden iron hand in front of him is indeed different.
Jin Tieshou continued: "When I was young, I accepted Yelong's funeral invitation to assassinate someone. To be honest, I was not completely sure at the time, but I still accepted it."
"Why?"
"Because the remuneration given by the employer is very generous."
"Are you excited?"
"No, it's not money that makes my heart beat, but a girl."
"A girl?"
"A girl from a brothel."
"I didn't expect you to be a lover, but...as a killer, it seems that you shouldn't be emotional. You actually fell in love with that girl?"
"Yes, I made a mistake that a killer shouldn't make. I fell in love with someone. I even thought that as long as I had this money, I could redeem her life, buy a big house, and live with her."
"and after?"
"Then I went on an assassination mission. As expected, I was unable to kill the man. He cut off my right hand with a knife and fell off the cliff. I almost died. Later, I was lucky enough to be rescued, but I fell asleep for more than a month. "
"What about that girl? Is she your wife now?"
Jin Tieshou gave a wry smile, and then said: "No, when I go back to find her after I recover from the injury, she is already married to a wealthy businessman as a concubine."
"She didn't wait for you?"
"Yes, no. People always say that women are ruthless, and it is true. Maybe the moment I turned around and left, she probably didn't remember who I was!" Jin Tieshou was a little disappointed.
Looking at his extremely ordinary face, if his iron hand hadn't been so conspicuous at the moment, no one would have remembered him in the crowd.
Zi Yuan waved the Yelong funeral note in her hand, and then said: "I will remember your name, Jin Tieshou. If I still have the chance to come back, I will definitely have a drink at your place."
For some reason Jin Tieshou was a little excited and sighed: "Okay, I'll keep this glass of wine for the girl."
Ziyuan sighed softly, put away the three Yelong funeral invitations, and turned around to leave.
Determined yet indifferent, just like Jin Tieshou's appearance back then, what a killer should look like.
Just when Zi Yuan was about to leave Tianxia Winery, the drunkard lying on the wine table suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
She was furious, and he stood up and threw himself into her arms, looking very drunk and embarrassed. Then he fell heavily to the ground when she pushed him.
She saw the man's appearance clearly, a handsome man with some vicissitudes of life, with long hair covering his face on one side, and dense fine lines at the corners of his eyes, but he had a pair of passionate and gentle eyes with traces of night stains.
Zi Yuan didn't stay much, picked up her sword, and turned around to leave.
Three days later.
"drive--
"
Zi Yuan rode a black horse and rushed towards Yejia.
She was very agile in her attacks. She had already easily dealt with the first two assassins, one a day, killing many people, but this third one, which was also the most difficult one, would probably take some effort.
First of all, the Ye family is a big family, and there are many experts in the family. It would be unrealistic to kill the head of the Ye family in the Ye family. However, the information provided by Tianxia Winery records that Ye Zhao will have an appointment with someone after that, and will leave before leaving the Ye family. Go to an appointment.
Therefore, this is her best chance to assassinate Ye Zhaoting.
"Whoosh——"
Just when Zi Yuan was concentrating on her thoughts, a silver flying knife passed in front of her. The flying knife was like a leaf, light and fast.
She was so frightened that she hurriedly jumped off the horse, holding the Ice Rose Sword in hand, and looked towards the place where the flying knife came from.
I saw a man leaning against the tree. He was holding a wine jar in one hand and hanging lightly on the other, drinking wine slowly.
Zi Yuan frowned and said, "Were you the drunkard that day?"
"Alas..." He sighed softly, and then said, "You shouldn't have gone."
"What's the meaning?"
"You dropped something!" Ye Canghen casually threw the information in his arms to her.
She reached out and took it, and it turned out to be the information about Ye Zhaoting.
She frowned and asked, "Why is this thing here with you?"
Ye Canghen sighed softly and said: "You dropped it in Tianxia Winery, but I happened to pick it up."
Zi Yuan frowned. When she left Tianxia Winery, she discovered that the information about Ye Zhaoting was no longer there. However, there was no information about murder recorded in the information. Even if others picked it up, they would not think of it. Come on to the assassination.
So she didn't care and was still preparing to carry out the assassination mission. Even if the other party really guesses something from this information, she has no worries. After all, only the killer has the final say when to take action.
Zi Yuan frowned and said, "It must have fallen when you hit me."
"That's right, but it's really too careless for you to go on an assassination mission since such an important thing has been left behind."
Hearing what the man on the tree said, Zi Yuan tensed up and placed her hand on the hilt of Ice Rose's sword, ready to assassinate her at any time.
However, the man sitting on the tree was still drinking wine leisurely, and said leisurely: "That day at the Tianxia Winery, you once pulled out the sword. Although it was not completely drawn out, there was still a trace on the sword. The scent of roses is still unforgettable. Ice rose, that is the sword of my old friend, but the person who wields the sword is not an old friend. Who are you to her?"
Zi Yuan looked at the man sitting on the tree in astonishment, frowned and said, "Do you...do you know my master?"
"Your master? Killer Bai Qiangwei is your master?"
"That's right."
"How is she now?"
"Previously dead."
"died?!"
Ye Canghen sighed deeply, raised his head and said: "Oh, I have been in the Tomb of the Living for so many years, but I didn't expect that my old friend is already dead. When I met your master, she was only nineteen years old. She said that killers are short-lived. , It really turned out to be a prophecy!”
Zi Yuan was startled. Her master had also told her this before. When she was thirteen years old, she was rescued by the killer Bai Qiangwei. From then on, she followed her to learn martial arts and kill people.
Bai Qiangwei was twenty-nine years old that year and was already famous in the world. People in the world gave her the nickname "Night Shadow Rose".
Roses are fragrant on a moonlit night, and blood swords dye white clothes. If one night, you suddenly smell the fragrance of roses in a place where there are no roses, then you should be careful about the head on your neck.
