Yang Cheng almost vomited blood when he heard the black shadow's words.
One thousand taels, and it must be gold.
You know, gold has a price but no market.
The entire Qianshan City's annual income is only 3,200 taels of silver, which would be more than 700 taels in gold.
It cost one thousand taels of gold to kill such a small person.
The City Lord's Mansion has accumulated some savings over the years, but taking out a thousand taels of gold all at once will not shake the foundation, but it will also break the bones.
Yang Chengdao: "You are robbing and extorting. I will go to your headquarters to accuse you."
Yang Chengzhen was very angry.
This is outright blackmail.
The black shadow released the fourth-level peak cultivation level and said: "City Master Yang, don't speak so harshly, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."
Yang Cheng knew that he was losing his temper. Even though he was the lord of Qianshan City, in the eyes of Shadow, killing him was as easy as trampling an ant to death.
What's more, this black shadow's cultivation level is not low. He is at the peak of fourth grade, although it is a big level lower than his peak fifth grade cultivation.
But the opponent is proficient in assassination. If the two sides fight, if they cooperate with the assassination technique, there will be no problem in escaping.
For a killer who is so proficient in assassination, if you can kill the other person with one blow, and let the other person escape, it will be a lifelong nightmare for you.
Yang Cheng quickly apologized and said: "Friend, I just spoke unintentionally, please don't worry about it."
He slapped his chest and said, "Five hundred taels, it can't be too high."
"Hmph, you'd better be unintentional, otherwise you'll offend me, Shadow, and you know the consequences."
The black figure gave a few warnings and then said: "Okay, five hundred taels, in cash, no less. Once I get the money, I will report it to the headquarters and ask the headquarters to send a yellow-level killer to ensure that the task is completed within a week."
Yang Chengpai smiled and said, "Definitely."
After the black shadow left, Yang Chengru was reborn.
He is also a battle-hardened man with countless blood on his hands.
But facing the shadow killer, he actually felt pressured.
He looked at the stars in the sky and murmured: "You brat, don't blame me for being cruel. If you want to blame me, blame yourself for having things that don't belong to you."
…
In a cave in a certain valley.
A masked man sat in the center, and in front of him was a dark shadow. This dark shadow was none other than Xiao Liu, who had returned from a failed mission in Qianshan City.
Xiao Liu knelt on the ground tremblingly and reported the situation in Qianshan City.
The masked man frowned more and more as he listened, and there was murderous aura around him.
Xiao Liu tried his best to explain, "Team leader, Yang Cheng's intelligence was wrong and he really tricked us. If it weren't for the wrong intelligence, that kid would have died, and we still got the Sword of Forgetfulness."
A string of beads appeared in the hand of the masked man. From the moment Xiao Liu came in, he had been playing with the beads, as if Xiao Liu didn't exist at all.
The masked man said: "Even if the intelligence is wrong, you should do your best to complete the mission, or report the information early, instead of making excuses after the mission fails."
Xiaoliu kept kowtowing, and there was blood on his forehead. "I was careless for a moment. I hope the team leader will give me another chance."
The masked man said: "Hmph, you swore an oath from the day you entered the shadows. What does it mean to fail in your mission as a killer? It means losing your life."
"No."
Xiaoliu got up and ran out the door with all his strength.
The masked man raised his right hand, and a burst of energy caught up with Xiao Liu, and then he heard a scream.
A killer at the peak of the fourth level lost his life because of a mission failure.
When the masked man killed Xiao Liu, he grabbed his right hand and a package appeared in his hand.
In the package, there was no more than five hundred taels of gold, which was officially Yang Cheng's additional reward.
The masked man looked at the gold in his hand with greed on his face.
Why do you want to be a killer? It's just to make more money.
"Pass my order to Xiaosi to go to Qianshan City." As the voice got farther and farther, there was no one in the seat, and the previous mask had long since disappeared.
After the masked man disappeared, a dark figure appeared in the hall. The dark figure said to himself: "The team's cultivation has improved further. It is really an example for us to learn from."
With that said, the black shadow continued: "Forget it, let's quickly inform Xiaosi to go to Qianshan City to complete the mission, otherwise I will suffer the same fate as Xiaoliu."
······
A small town in Qianshan City.
It was noon at this time, and the streets were busy with people coming and going.
At this time, a man and a woman were walking on the street carrying cloth bags. It looked like they had traveled a long way.
The man's name is Shitou and the woman's name is Shihua. They are a brother and sister.
"Ah, it's such a lively street, there are so many things." Shihua looked at the things on the street, and she felt as if she had arrived at the palace, jumping and jumping, and she was very happy.
Shitou said: "Sister, don't make a fuss. This is nothing. When we get to Qianshan City, it will be prosperous."
"Really?" As soon as he finished speaking, Shihua seemed to have thought of something, and her mood plummeted, saying: "Okay, okay, but we are penniless and have no relatives or support there. How can we live?"
Shitou said: "What's the matter? With your brother and my craftsmanship, I can still starve to death."
Shihua held her mouth and complained: "Don't mention your craftsmanship. Last time we passed by that town, you also said how good your craftsmanship was. Later, when we set up a stall to sell songs, we were chased by others as liars. Running all over the streets, I didn’t make a penny in the end.”
Shitou said: "Oh, my good sister, that was not a mistake by my brother. I will definitely do it next time."
As he spoke, he suddenly heard several "beep" sounds.
Shihua smiled sheepishly and said, "Brother, I'm so hungry."
"Yeah, okay, brother will find you something to eat."
Shitou took the lead and acted like I am a man, I will do it.
He walked to a bun shop and stood there staring at the buns in the pot.
"Brother, how many do you want?" the boss asked.
Shitou asked: "How to sell steamed buns?"
When the boss saw business coming to his door, he said politely: "One penny each, how many do you want?"
"Let's have ten."
"okay."
The boss packed ten buns and handed them to Shitou. He asked Shitou for money and said, "Ten buns cost ten cents."
Shitou picked up the bun, turned around and ran away.
"Ah, the thief has been caught, the thief has been caught."
The boss picked up the broom next to him and chased him all the way. When the others heard that the thief was being caught, they all grabbed whatever they could and threw them at the rocks.
Shitou didn't care what hit him, he held Bao Bao in front of him with both hands and ran towards the deserted alley.
After running for a few minutes, Shitou felt that no one was chasing him, so he leaned against the wall to catch his breath. "Why are you chasing after me? I think of my invincible Yushu Linfeng's stone. I'm looking down on you by eating a few of your buns. When I get rich someday, if you treat me to eat, I won't be shy about eating it."
Shitou raised the bun in his hand and went to find his sister happily.
