The next day.
Su Yu got up early, washed up, dressed neatly, had breakfast on the street, and then headed towards Zhenwu Si.
On the way to Zhenwu Division, Su Yuneng clearly noticed that there were obviously more Zhenwu guards going to Zhenwu Division.
"It seems that most of the Zhenwu Guards have completed their tasks this month and have begun to fish."
Su Yu couldn't help but curse in his heart.
As the month approaches, the tasks on the martial arts list will become more difficult and even thankless.
Usually at this time, many difficult tasks are not picked up by the Zhenwu Guards at all, and can only be forcibly distributed to those teams that have not completed the tasks for the month.
When those teams think that the three of them cannot complete the mission, they will ask for help from their own captain, or spend money to ask other Zhenwuwei teams to complete the mission together.
At this time, many idle Zhenwuwei teams will choose to rest and recharge their batteries for the next month's mission.
"The waist is like a thin willow supporting the spring breeze, looking back and dancing like a fool's dream, as graceful as floating clouds wearing neon clothes, and the temples are stained with frost after the curtain falls."
When Su Yu came to the door of the small courtyard where Lin Canglan was, the sound of Ji Longcheng reciting poetry suddenly came from the room.
Su Yu couldn't help but be startled when he heard this poem.
Isn't this the one I sold to Xiaoya?
In just three days, it has already reached Ji Longcheng’s ears?
"Guys, how do you like this poem?"
Facing the gazes of everyone in the yard, Ji Longcheng said with a mysterious face: "Just yesterday, this poem came out. Do you know who wrote this poem and who it was written for?"
"It is said that this poem was written by Kong Yangming, who once wrote Drunken Rouge. The name of this poem is "Gift to Mei Ji", and he wrote it for Mei Ji, a newly promoted courtesan."
Su Yu, who had just walked into the courtyard, couldn't help but look a little stunned when he heard this.
Meiji?
Isn't the person who bought my poem Xiaoya?
How could it be Mei Ji, the new courtesan of the Jiaofang Division?
Also, didn’t you write this poem yourself?
How did it become a poem written by Kong Yangming?
Could it be
Su Yu twitched the corners of his mouth and immediately realized a problem.
I had walked out of Kong Yangming's house before, and he must have mistakenly thought that this poem was written by Kong Yangming. However, Kong Yangming was a scholar and could not lose face, so he entrusted himself to handle it and sell it.
After thinking about all this, Su Yu smiled bitterly in his heart.
Of course, having Kong Yangming draw firepower for him made Su Yu happy not to attract anyone's attention.
"It seems like you'd better not go to Kong's hometown these days."
As the initiator of all this, Su Yu couldn't help but secretly thought.
"Brother Su, you are here."
Ji Longcheng first said hello to Su Yu who had just walked into the yard, and then continued to talk:
"I can guarantee that within a month, the reputation of this new oiran Meiji will surpass the other three oirans and become the number one oiran in Tai'an City. She may even have the chance to become the number one oiran in the Wei Dynasty because of this poem. An oiran!"
"It is said that this poem has been adapted into lyrics, and the Jiaofang Secretary is asking someone to compose the music. I believe that in a few days, this poem for Meiji will appear in front of everyone in the form of a song."
Having said this, Ji Longcheng paused and then said: "The next thing I want to talk about is the highlight. The Jiaofang Division has already released the news that Mei Ji will launch a cocktail party in five days. I want to attend this cocktail party. If you want to see Meiji, you only need to pay three hundred taels of silver to gain admission."
"If you are lucky, you might have a chance to be favored by Mei Ji and invite her to the boudoir. Everyone should know that the four oirans of the Jiaofang Division can choose their own guests, and the Jiaofang Division cannot force them. Mei Ji is still in perfect condition now."
"Brothers, think about it, apart from getting promoted and making a fortune, is there anything in this world that is more satisfying than winning the first prize from the courtesan?"
"Yesterday I entrusted a friend to buy ten admission tickets. It is said that the Jiaofang Division has only prepared 500 admission tickets. I don't want more. Each ticket is 500 taels, first come, first served!"
When they heard the admission fee of five hundred taels of silver, everyone in the courtyard twitched fiercely.
This is a total of twenty-five yuan crystals, enough for one person to practice for several months.
Su Yu was also secretly stunned. The admission fee alone was three hundred taels of silver?
The total is a total of 150,000 taels of silver.
And this is just a cocktail party held by Meiji, and it can make so much money?
The ability to make money is too scary, right?
Su Yu suddenly felt that the price he had sold the poem for was too low.
Even if most of the money goes into Jiaofangsi's pocket, at least 10% will go to Mei Ji, right?
Otherwise, who would do a thankless task a second time?
"I really didn't expect that Xiaoya, who bought my poems, would be Mei Ji, the new courtesan of the Jiaofang Division."
Su Yu secretly shook his head.
Owen Jie was the first to curse and said: "Five hundred taels of silver? Ji Longcheng, you deserve to die, why don't you go and grab it?"
"hey-hey."
Ji Longcheng took out the tickets from his arms and said with a evil smile: "It is said that these five hundred tickets were snatched up in just half a cup of tea. Now the number of tickets outside has doubled. No one has grabbed the tickets." , even willing to spend six to seven hundred taels of silver to buy it, just to go to Jiaofangsi to see Meiji up close."
"I only sold it for five hundred taels of silver, and you actually said it was expensive?"
"If I hadn't looked out for my colleagues and wanted to take care of my brothers, I could have sold the ticket even if it cost a thousand taels of silver."
"Brother Ou, Brother Xie, Brother Xue, Brother Su, are you sure you don't want to buy one?"
As he said that, Ji Longcheng couldn't help but fan himself with the bill in his hand, and strategically leaned back and said, "I can tell you in advance, after waiting for my village, there will no longer be this store!"
"Ahem, brother Ji, I want one!"
"Brother Ji, you also know that I already have a wife and children. How can I hang out in such a romantic place? I will buy one for my friend."
"Brother Ji, give me one!"
"."
Seeing everyone rushing to buy Yuan Jing, Su Yu couldn't help but feel happy.
I can’t tell that Ji Longcheng still has the potential to be a scalper.
By the end, Ji Longcheng was already holding a lot of yuan crystals in his hands, and the six people from the other two teams also had an extra ticket in their hands.
"Brother Su, don't you have one?"
Seeing that Su Yu stood aside and did not take out Yuan Jing to purchase the bill, Ji Longcheng couldn't help but said with a surprised look on his face.
"No."
Su Yu shook his head.
He had no interest in such a drinking party.
Spending five hundred taels of silver just to see Meiji's true face is too extravagant.
He only has a total of fifty-five yuan crystals in his hand, and he is just waiting to use the money to improve his cultivation to the perfection of the body refining realm.
"Brother Su, let's face it, among all of us here, you are the most handsome one, and you are also the one who has the best chance of being invited by Meiji to have a boudoir."
Ji Longcheng chuckled and said, "You really don't want to think about it?"
If you had seen Mei Ji's fierce temper, you wouldn't think so.
Su Yu couldn't help but curse in his heart.
If Xiaoya was Mei Ji, he had never seen Mei Ji's true appearance, but Su Yu had truly experienced her fierce temper.
"Not going."
Su Yu shook his head and said righteously: "Women will only affect the speed of my sword draw!"
When Ji Longcheng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"What if I give you a ticket?"
"deliver?"
Su Yu was startled at first, and then said: "Although I won't go, if you want to give it to me, I can accept this note and give it to a friend of mine."
He was not in the mood to attend the cocktail party, so he just got the tickets and resold them to make a fortune!
Ji Longcheng chuckled and said, "Brother Su, there are no outsiders here. Is that friend of yours yourself?"
Su Yu: "."
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the yard. Everyone in the yard looked at each other and then hurriedly followed out.
Ji Longcheng grabbed a Zhenwu guard he knew and asked, "Brother He, what happened?"
"Haven't you heard the news yet?"
The man who was called Brother He by Ji Longcheng stopped and said with excitement: "Master Wei sent people to ambush last night and captured Bai Wuchang from Hell Gate alive. He just rushed back to Zhenwu Division and is being escorted to Wu Prison. Everyone is here. I want to see what Bai Wuchang looks like."
"Bai Wuchang?"
Su Yu, who was following Ji Longcheng, was startled when he heard this.
In the three kingdoms of Wei, Western Zhou and Northern Qi, there were two assassin organizations hidden underground, one was Hell Gate and the other was Nian.
Bai Wuchang is an assassin trained by Hell Gate. In the three kingdoms of Wei, Western Zhou and Northern Qi, there were Yama Luo Halls in every state capital. The master of the Yama Luo Hall was Yama Luo, who had the cultivation level of Qianlong Realm.
There are three generals under Yama, namely Meng Po, Judge, and City God. All three of them have the cultivation level of Fish Leaping Realm.
Under Meng Po, City God, and Judge, each had four assassins responsible for specific assassinations.
Bai Wuchang is an assassin who obeys the judge's orders and possesses the cultivation level of Iron Bone Realm.
Hell Gate accepts missions, and regardless of whether the target is good or bad, as long as the money is in place, the assassination will be carried out.
The Zhenwu Division and the warriors in the Jianghu have been accusing evil for a long time. When many warriors in the Jianghu can't do anything to the other party, they will pay and secretly entrust the Hell Gate to carry out assassinations.
Of course, the main target of the assassination entrusted by the Jianghu people to Hell Gate is the senior officials of the Zhenwu Division.
After all, the fees charged by Hell Gate are not low, and the assassins dispatched have a minimum cultivation level of seventh-grade Iron Bone realm.
If an assassin in the Iron Bone Realm were to assassinate a Zhenwu Guard in the Body Refining Realm, it would be overkill.
Senior officials of the Zhenwu Division often died in Hell Gate's assassinations, which also led to the Zhenwu Division's deep hatred of Hell Gate, an assassin organization, and a very high reward.
Even the Iron Bone Realm assassin with the lowest cultivation level in Hell Gate has reached level five!
The warrior corresponding to the fifth-level meritorious service in the Zhenwu Division is actually a Yuyue Realm criminal!
This shows how deep Zhenwu Si's hatred towards Hell Gate is.
Wei is the emperor's surname. In the Zhenwu Division of Tai'an City, the only person who can be called Master Wei is the third princess Wei Lianyi.
When they heard that the assassin from Hell Gate had been captured alive, Ji Longcheng and others couldn't help but feel a little excited. They each looked at each other, and then followed the large army towards Wu Prison.
When Su Yu followed the crowd to the martial prison, what he saw made him secretly speechless.
In the past, Wu Prison seemed extremely deserted. At this moment, the square in front of the gate was already filled with Zhen Wu guards in Feiyu uniforms. Su Yu made a rough count and found that there were at least a thousand people waiting to watch.
At this time, a carriage pulling a prison cart drove slowly towards this side.
In the prison car, a man wearing white clothes and a white high hat, and even his skin looked like it had been painted with white paint, appeared in everyone's sight.
The man's whole body, except for the scarlet lip marks that were rouged on his lips, even his hair was completely white.
In this early morning when the morning sun had just risen, his appearance made the surrounding temperature become a bit colder.
"Is this Bai Wuchang, the assassin of Hell Gate?"
Seeing the prison car slowly driving towards Wu Prison, Su Yu looked at the strange-looking man on the prison car and felt the hairs all over his body stand up.
It has to be said that if Su Yu suddenly saw this guy at night, he would probably be frightened and scream.
Bai Wuchang's dressing style has a chilling feeling.
Su Yu could clearly feel that everyone in the square, which seemed noisy just now, couldn't help but hold their breath, as they all seemed to be shocked by Bai Wuchang's appearance.
"Cousin, is this Bai Wuchang?"
Chen Beijiang couldn't help but shrink his neck and said: "This guy's outfit looks really scary. I'm getting goosebumps."
"No, this is the murderous aura in him."
Ji Longcheng looked at Bai Wuchang in the prison car and said solemnly: "It is said that when a warrior kills hundreds or thousands of people, a murderous aura will form in his body."
"murderous look?"
Su Yu was startled when he heard this. This was the first time he heard that a person's murderous intent could reach such an extent, which even made people shudder.
"good."
Ji Longcheng nodded and said: "It is said that more than a hundred years ago, Yuanzhou Zhenwusi followed the clues and discovered a hell gate in the Yama Palace in Yuanzhou. Do you know what Zhenwusi discovered in the Yama Palace? ?”
"What did you find?"
The people around him couldn't help but look at Ji Longcheng.
"In the Hall of Hell, there are thousands of children undergoing cruel training."
Ji Longcheng said faintly: "What shocked Zhenwu Si was that by the time these assassins were old enough to carry out assassinations on their own, they had experienced countless battles in the Yama Palace. Their men had killed and injured thousands of people, and they had learned all kinds of quick killings. Skill."
"Like the Bai Wuchang we see now, even if he has not yet accepted any assassination missions, he can become a qualified Bai Wuchang. He can at least walk among a thousand people through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. from."
"The assassins trained by Hell Gate are the best ones selected from a thousand people. As for the others, they have become stepping stones for him to climb up."
"When these assassins have experienced countless assassinations and reached the Yuyue realm, they will have the opportunity to be promoted to judges and city gods, and Po Meng will be succeeded by a woman."
Choose one person out of a thousand people?
Su Yu was secretly surprised, where did this hell gate find so many children for training?
Chen Beijiang said in horror: "After so many years, why haven't this assassin organization been uncovered yet?"
You must know that the people in Yama Luodian who perform assassination missions all year round include Bai Wuchang and eleven assassins.
If one Bai Wuchang needs to be selected from a thousand people, then the other eleven assassins add up to a total of twelve thousand people.
This is just a branch hall of Hell Gate set up in one state of Wei Dynasty.
There are nine states in total in the Wei Dynasty. Hell Gate needs to cultivate such a team of assassins in each state. How many sacrifices will it take to do this?
"Catch it out?"
Ji Longcheng shook his head and said: "It is said that before the founding of the Wei Dynasty, the two assassin organizations of Hell Gate and Nian already existed."
"After so many years of development, if the Zhenwu Division is the government's official institution to control martial artists, then Hell Gate and Nian are the underground dynasty. They ignore rules and restrictions, go their own way, and do everything only for money."
"As long as you can afford the money, even if you ask them to assassinate His Majesty, they won't dare to give it a try!"
"These two organizations are like big trees growing underground. After so many years of growth, their sphere of influence has already spread throughout the three kingdoms of Wei, Western Zhou, and Northern Qi. How easy is it to uproot them?"
At this time, the prison car had also entered the martial arts prison. Everyone saw Bai Wuchang's true face and turned around to leave with unfinished business.
Watching the prison car disappear from sight, Ji Longcheng said: "Let's go back."
"Brother Ji, how much do you know about the assassin organization Nian?"
On the way back, Su Yu couldn't help but ask.
Compared with the assassin organization Hell Gate, the assassin organization Nian seems to be too low-key. They can even be described as inconspicuous.
"Year?"
Ji Longcheng was slightly startled, then said immediately: "I don't know much about Nian, but according to what I heard from hearsay, Nian, the most powerful person in the assassin organization, is codenamed Lord Nian!"
"Under Mr. Nian, there is also the Moon Envoy, who directly takes orders from Mr. Nian."
"Under every moon envoy, there is a sun envoy who is responsible to the moon envoy."
"Below the Rishi-sama, there are four other lords: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter."
"The four masters of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter control the twenty-four solar terms. Each of them has six subordinates. These twenty-four solar terms correspond to twenty-four people. These people all possess the Iron Bone Realm cultivator. for."
"If Hell Gate likes assassinations on the surface, let everyone know that the deceased was killed by Hell Gate."
"The assassination methods of this organization are completely opposite. They will let you die in various accidents. For example, when you are fighting the enemy, the assassin following you suddenly makes a trip on you in the dark, causing you to suddenly Fall into a disadvantage and then die under the enemy's sword."
"It's also possible that I used various coincidences to get close to you, and then fed you chronic poison until the disease developed, making your death look like an accident. You never thought that you were actually being targeted by the Nian organization. "
"It is precisely because of this that the people in Nian's assassin organization are more elusive than those in Hell Gate. You can't guess his identity at all. Maybe the person you pass by is a twenty-year-old member of Nian's assassin organization. One of the four solar terms."
"I even have a vague suspicion. Since people in Nian's organization like to use various identities to hide their true identities, there may be an assassin of Nian hiding in the Zhenwu Division, but you can't find him out at all."
