With the bright moon shining in the sky, Jiang Zhuo followed Shen Li back to Wanshui City.
"My hero, who are you? With your methods, how can Chen Qifeng be able to persuade you?"
Jiang Zhuo was puzzled by this matter.
The martial arts master Chen Qifeng invited last time was only worthy of praise for his tracking skills. In terms of fighting, he was far from being a match for him and his brothers.
However, the young man who was walking in front was not worried about his escape. Not only was his tracking skills unheard of, but his combat prowess was even more jaw-dropping.
In such a short period of time, all the brothers disappeared in an instant. It was so scary!
Jiang Zhuo doubted whether the young man could be a fourth-level master, but he was so young, Jiang Zhuo couldn't believe it.
If the young man is really a fourth-level master, all the masters who have been practicing diligently for decades will end up like dogs.
Shen Lixiao asked: "Have you ever heard of the Xingxiu Cult?"
Xingxiu Cult...
As a kidnapper leader with professional ethics, how could Jiang Zhuo not heard of the Xingxiu Cult?
The Xingxiu Sect is extremely powerful and has many internal masters. Not to mention the world-famous seven killers, there are also several old men who had retired from the world and have also joined in.
What's more, Zhao Ruyu, who has become famous in Southern Wu in recent days, is a member of the Xingxiu Sect.
Some people say that although the Xingxiu Sect is not as rich as the Copper Coin Society, it is more than a step ahead of the Copper Coin Society in terms of combat power.
"The hero is an expert from the Xingxiu Sect?" Jiang Zhuo suddenly asked with trepidation.
Chen Qifeng, a ruthless man, actually paid Xingxiu Sect's killers to capture him. Isn't this just killing a chicken with a knife?
Jiang Zhuo knew that the price of the Xingxiu Sect was extremely high, so he issued a mission to the Xingxiu Sect, and with Chen Qifeng's family fortune, he would have to spend at least half of his money.
"Yes, I am the killer of the Xingxiu Sect. Hehe, you didn't expect it. In fact, if you dared to resist just now, you would have been killed." Shen Li threatened him.
"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare you resist." Jiang Zhuo was extremely frightened.
Nowadays, even the lives of the brothers are a bit unconcerned.
The Xingxiu Sect has become extremely famous in the past ten years. As long as the Xingxiu Sect’s killer takes action, there are very few assignments that cannot be completed.
"Be obedient and help me complete this mission. Let's stay apart. You walk on your single-plank bridge and I'll walk on my Yangguan Road."
"..."
The young man chatted to death, and Jiang Zhuo didn't know what to reply.
Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Zhuo tried to ask: "My hero, I provoked Zhao Luqing, I'm afraid Wanshui City is no longer a safe place."
"It doesn't matter, leave it to me from Zhao Luqing." Shen Li said easily.
Jiang Zhuo didn't believe it. The Xingxiu Sect was indeed powerful. However, Zhao Luqing was one of the generals guarding Wanshui Town and ate food distributed by the imperial court. How could the young man persuade him to change his mind?
Shen Li paused, and Jiang Zhuo stopped immediately.
"Do you know Zhao Luqing's sister Zhao Luyuan?"
"I've heard of it, but I don't know it." Jiang Zhuo said with a smile.
"If I kidnap Zhao Luyuan, what conditions will Zhao Luqing agree to in order to save her?"
"..." Jiang Zhuo stared at Shen Li who was solemn in disbelief. He was afraid that the wall had ears, so his voice was low and low, "My hero, Zhao Luqing loves his sister very much. If he were kidnapped by the hero, he would go crazy. regardless of costs."
"you sure?"
"Definitely, definitely and definitely!" Jiang Zhuo said firmly.
Shen Li smiled instantly: "That would be best. Zhao Luqing and Zhao Luyuan really feel that I am easy to bully, so give them a small warning."
When they passed the Wanshui City Gate, the sleepy and groggy guard simply asked a few words and let them in.
Originally, Zhao Luqing sent someone to inform the city gate guards that people entering the city must be strictly investigated. But now the sky is dark and drowsy... In addition, there has been no war in Wanshui City for a long time. According to the orders of the Northern Sui Dynasty, the city must be closed at night. It is closed, but Wanshui is special. It is a city of commerce and provides convenience for merchants coming and going. It also does not retreat at night, and only adds more guards.
Jiang Zhuo was not worried about whether he could get into Wanshui City. The whole city had long been dazzled by money, but there were people deeply involved in any business that could make money, not to mention that the city gates were closed. Now that there is no war in the Northern Sui Dynasty, why close the city gate? Enough support? Isn’t this a delay in making money?
A merchant on the street in the city was transporting goods with his retinue. Jiang Zhuo asked Shen Li if he was hungry. Speaking of which, the young man was indeed hungry after a busy night.
I stopped an ox cart transporting goods and bought some fresh and hot cooking cakes. After asking around, I found out that the cooking cakes transported by this businessman were for the soldiers guarding the border in the south. The logistics there were slightly poor. I don’t know who had the idea. , collecting grain from Wanshui City merchants.
"You two don't know the inside story. The price of simply transporting food is not high, but if I process it into cooking cakes and transport them there overnight, hehe, it will triple immediately!"
Jiang Zhuo said politely: "You can't do this business without some connections. It seems that you have an expert to give you some advice!"
"There's no need to say this. There's no need to say it. You two go slowly. I'm in a hurry. There's no need to chat."
With that said, the businessman urged the convoy to leave the city quickly. If he had not seen that Shen Li and Jiang Zhuo were well dressed, he would not have stopped to talk.
While eating the cooking cake, Jiang Zhuo asked quietly: "My hero, are Mr. Zhao from your Xingxiu Sect and Zhao Luqing related?"
Are eldest brother Zhao Ruyu and Zhao Luqing relatives? Shen Li chewed the cooking cake and cursed with a smile: "I'm not sure, everyone with the surname Zhao belongs to the same family."
"Haha... I'm talking too much, I'm talking too much!"
"You are now my prisoner, you talk too much!"
"Oh, I hope you can forgive me, hero. I'm used to traveling in the world, and I have developed a bad mouth that I can't stop." Jiang Zhuo apologized.
"Hmph, I think you are training to become a kidnapper and deceive everyone, right?"
"The hero has a sharp eye and can tell at a glance." Jiang Zhuo flattered him continuously, "A young and handsome man like Da Xia is a legendary upper-level fourth-level master at a young age. I have only heard about it from the storyteller's storybook. "
Shen Li neither admitted nor denied.
As soon as he told him why he was looking for him, Jiang Zhuo, a smart man, immediately understood that his life and fortune must be safe.
As for the threatening words that the young man said just now, just listen to them and don't take them to heart.
Inadvertently, I passed by the inn where I was staying. The door was open and the waiter was leaning against the door.
Shen Li approached quietly and shouted: "Do you have any guest rooms in your inn?"
The waiter immediately jumped up to three feet in fright. When he saw who was coming, he took a deep breath to calm his heart that was about to jump out of his throat. Just when he was about to speak, he saw Jiang Zhuo following him and changed his words: "The two guest officers are One room or two rooms?”
"one."
The waiter immediately understood the implication and thought to himself that he was indeed a young prodigy recommended by Master Qin personally. He completed Chen Qifeng's assignment in one night.
"Two guests, please come inside."
Shen Li turned around and said, "You and I will rest in the inn for a while. Then at dawn, we will visit the Chen family."
Jiang Zhuo had no doubt that he was there, "Everything is up to you."
Carrying the cooking cake, I went to the guest room arranged by the waiter.
Shen Li deliberately passed by Zhu Hongni's door and felt relieved when he heard breathing inside.
The waiter glanced at Jiang Zhuo's figure, ran to the back kitchen, and said to the cook who was enjoying himself drinking late at night: "Chen Qifeng's assignment is completed. Go tell him and bring back the balance."
"So fast?" The cook was particularly surprised.
That group of kidnappers is very smart. They have been doing evil in Wanshui for a long time and no one has caught them. Now our young leader from Xingxiu Sect has taken action and succeeded in one night? incredible!
"Hey, who says it's not the case? He is indeed someone that Master Qin values highly!" the waiter said enviously.
The great leader of the Xingxiu Sect does not take care of matters, and the leader Qin takes charge of the daily affairs within the sect.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Don't forget to tell Chen Qifeng that when the agreed time comes, we will send him there."
"Can't forget."
After Xingxiujiao takes over the task, he will discuss a time with his employer and follow what Shen Li said to Qin Xianqing - this is called professionalism.
As soon as Jiang Zhuofu entered the guest room, he saw the young man lying on the bed fully clothed. After a while, he gradually began to snore.
He thought to himself, you kid is really not afraid of death. If I attack you while you are asleep, wouldn't it mean that you met the King of Hell in a confused way?
I thought I would go to see Chen Wanyue all night, but I didn't expect to find an inn to stay in the city. As the saying goes, I'll settle down when I'm here. Jiang Zhuo closed the door tightly, took off his coat, put it on the table and fell asleep.
Not long after he fell asleep, Jiang Zhuo suddenly woke up. He thought of a question, what if... what if the brothers had been killed by the young man?
After all, he didn't even see whether the brothers were dead or alive. Everything was just the boy's words!
As the leader of the kidnappers, he deserves to die for making such a mistake!
Jiang Zhuo started to fidget and thought for a long time. He quietly walked to the bed and asked: "Hero? Hero??"
"Well, you tell me." Shen Li murmured.
Jiang Zhuo swallowed: "Did the hero really not kill my brothers?"
"I knocked them unconscious and left them in the woods. They should be awake now."
"ah?!"
"I know you are worried that I will deceive you. Don't worry, I am not that kind of person. Besides, you are in my hands. If you are worried about your brother, it is better to think about how to face Chen Wanyue next."
Jiang Zhuo thought the same thing, but he was really undecided. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Hero, my brothers..."
Shen Li opened his eyes and sat up: "If you keep talking, do you believe that I will kill them now?"
"Xinxinxin..." Jiang Zhuo quickly backed away and stopped disturbing the young man's rest.
This feeling of powerlessness made Jiang Zhuo very tired.
There is no way, if you can't defeat others, you are just the fish and meat on the chopping board, and you can be slaughtered by others.
Wait, what if... what if this boy has been pretending? In fact, he is not very powerful, he just knows how to fight quickly with one hand. Taking advantage of the darkness of the forest, he just kidnapped the brothers at lightning speed?
Such thoughts seemed to take root in his mind, and Jiang Zhuo unconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of the sword.
Shen Li noticed his murderous intent and sneered: "I advise you not to have any wild ideas."
Jiang Zhuo had already gently pulled out half of the sword.
When he was about to pull out all the swords and was about to strike with a sword, his vision dimmed. The young man who was lying on the bed suddenly stood in front of him, his fist stopped in front of his eyes, and his other hand held the hilt of his sword. , slowly pushed the sword back.
Jiang Zhuo was covered in cold sweat.
"The sword is good. If you want to give it to me, you can say so."
