Two people, one horse and one ox, were walking on the official road. The green ox was big, but it was not the best mount.
Due to their body structure, horses can unload the force very well whether they are walking or running, but cows are different. They can walk quite well, but if they run, they will have to break their eggs.
"Oh, my wife, how can this be good~~~!"
"Ah, it hurts~~ It hurts me so much."
As the two of them walked, there were wailing sounds in the distance. When the two approached, Baili Shuang glanced at Yang Gan, who glanced at him, shook his head, and was ready to ignore anything.
At this time, the man on the roadside quickly stopped the two people.
"Plop" he fell to his knees and kept kowtowing.
"You two adults, could you please take my wife to the city? She is about to give birth~~~!"
"Bang bang bang~~~!" Xiangtou kept banging his head, and after a while, his forehead became blood red.
Yang Qian sat up and looked at the man and woman carefully, and said calmly, "Get away from me, tell the Wang family, that's it. Don't overdo it, or else I'll go to Nanhu County myself?"
The man looked mournful and wailed, "Sir, I don't understand. Can you help me first? It's not impossible. I will never rush into the adults."
Baili Shuang was slightly moved and was about to dismount to check. Yang Gan curled his lips, quickly pulled out the dragon-slaying knife from the back of the cow, and ran forward.
"Wait~~~" Before the man could finish speaking, a black light struck his head, splitting the man in half. The smell of blood immediately filled the air.
The wailing pregnant woman ran towards the distance like a rabbit without any pause.
Yang Gan suddenly exerted force with one arm and smashed the dragon-slaying knife in the direction of the woman.
"Touch~~~!" With a sound, the woman fell to the ground.
The whole process was completed in an instant. Yang Gan squatted down, took away the money bag from half of the corpse, fumbled again, and sure enough, he took out a dagger, pulled it out and smelled it, and a fishy smell hit his nostrils. It was obviously poisoned.
When he came to the woman, Yang Qian was slightly embarrassed. He did not hit the woman and fell to the ground only because he was hit by the dragon-slaying knife.
The woman kept struggling, and the bones in her back were obviously broken.
"Hey, did the Wang family send you here?"
The woman's face was filled with pain and her face was ferocious, "Bah, you female thief, yes, I am a member of the Wang family, you will not die in peace."
Yang Qian nodded, "I didn't expect it was the Xie family who sent me this time. Why, it's the Wang family that comes every time. Now it's someone else? You want to make good friends with the Wang family, right?"
"Bah, I belong to the Wang family."
"Any last words you want to say?"
"Female thief, since ancient times, aristocratic families have coexisted with vassal states, why can't you tolerate aristocratic families?"
Yang Qian carried the dragon-slaying knife with disdain on his face, "Is this right since ancient times? It's easy to leave without sending him away."
The dragon-slaying knife struck the woman on the head.
"Pfft".
The woman's head was broken into pieces like a watermelon. Yang Qian skillfully dug into the woman's arms, and he took out a cloth bag tied around his waist and threw it aside. It was quite comprehensive.
After groping for a while, I got a token from the woman's waist, with a big word "王" written on it.
After thinking about it, he dragged the man's body to the woman's body, stripped off their clothes, and carved words on their chests with a dagger.
[This is an assassin]
Baili Shuang looked at Yang Qian's series of operations and was completely confused. Although he was usually more cautious when walking in the Central Plains countries, he was not cautious to this extent.
Moreover, he was only competing with others, and there was almost no life-or-death enmity.
Unlike Yang Qian, he took people's lives directly without holding anything back. The most important thing is that his habit of holding money bags is very sophisticated. You can tell he is an old bird at a glance.
Baili Shuang was surprised and said, "Sir, is this a little too much?"
"Are you lame in your eyes or blind in your ears? Didn't you realize that these two guys are assassins? They said they were from the Wang family and brought the Wang family's token."
Recalling what Yang Gan said just now, Baili Shuang was horrified and said, "Could it really be the Wang family of Nanhu County?"
"Nonsense, in the whole world, they are the only ones who can assassinate me, but these people should not be from the Wang family."
Baili Shuang wondered, "Why, they all confessed."
Yang Gan said angrily, "You are such an idiot. If someone says he is from the Wang family, does that mean he is from the Wang family? You still carry a token with you, and you send someone to assassinate him, and you also have an identity certificate? I think he is probably from the Xie family." "
"If it succeeds, befriend the Wang family. If it doesn't succeed, you can throw dirty water on the Wang family."
Baili Shuang thought about it carefully and said with admiration, "Sir, your eyes are really sharp. Is there any important evidence in their wallet?"
Yang Qian weighed the two money bags and said with a smile, "Two poor guys only have a few dozen taels of silver. This is money, why don't you take it?"
Baili Shuang's mouth grew.
"Damn it, why are you so frugal? Who doesn't know when you come to Yuntong County? The governor is the richest, and he even spares dozens of taels of silver. That's awesome."
At this time, a money bag was thrown in front of Baili Shuang. He took it and looked at Yang Qian doubtfully.
"Sir, at this time..."
"The one who saw it has a share, and it's given to you~~~"
The two sat on the saddle and walked forward.
After a while, Baili Shuang couldn't help but said, "Sir, are you often assassinated?"
Yang Qian took the wine gourd and took a sip, then nodded with a smile, "Well, assassinations are a common occurrence for me. This time it's just a trivial matter. You haven't seen a big assassination array before."
Baili Shuang suddenly became interested and asked urgently, "What does a big assassination look like?"
"Oh, last time I was in the county town, I was surrounded by assassins."
"Then what?" Baili Shuang's eyes widened, her face full of curiosity.
Yang Gan curled his lips and said, "Didn't you see the heads hanging on the city walls last time you came to the county?"
"Hi~~~Awesome~~~Is there anything else?"
"Some time ago, when you were not here, the Wang family used the information arranged by Yuntong County to assassinate the team with thousands of people."
"Hi~~~~!"
Baili Shuang took a breath of cold air. The scale of a thousand people was too big. This was already an army. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to run away.
"What happened next?"
"Half of them are dead, and the other half are in prison. I plan to persuade them to surrender. If they can be used by me, that's fine. If they can't be used by me, and they are stubborn, there will be more heads on the wall."
Baili Shuang suppressed her shock. After all, adults are adults. Life is full of joy. You can be assassinated anytime and anywhere. This is too exciting.
The speed the two of them were riding was almost equal to walking, so dozens of miles were still quite far away. There was nothing we could do about it. Horses could run, but oxen would not run very slowly, but it would be uncomfortable, so we stuck to the speed of the green ox. Go ahead.
There are sometimes teahouses on both sides of the complete official road for pedestrians to rest. Yang Gan has the attitude of visiting mountains and rivers, taking his time and taking a rest when he sees teahouses.
However, they did not have their own tea leaves here, only some tea leaves from old recipes. Yang Gan was not used to drinking it, so he took out some tea leaves he had prepared and tasted the tea.
"Bai Lishuang, if you want to become a disciple, do you want to be prepared to practice in the same way as in the Shexia Academy?"
Baili Shuang was surprised and said, "Sir, have you studied at the Society Academy?"...
Yang Qian proudly said, "Tan Tianyan is my mentor."
"Wow~~~Awesome~!!"
Then Baili Shuang frowned and said, "That master is from a well-off family, so just prepare some. Ten pieces of bacon, just express your feelings."
"Bacon? No, no, no. He is a martial arts student, and he is skilled in bow and horse. I brought a sword, a bow, and some gold. It's better to be direct."
Upon hearing that there were so many Zhu Xiu, Baili Shuang's thoughts that were about to give up came back to her.
When Yang Qian's retainer returns
It is quite dangerous. With such a high assassination rate, he is the one who is afraid of dying quickly, but who makes him rich and wealthy?
When the water boiled, Yang Gan started to make tea. He also put the silver bracelet on his wrist into the tea. After a few seconds, he took it out to check and nodded with satisfaction.
"Master, what are you doing? Is this the custom of Yuntong County?"
"Nervous, how come there is such a custom? My bracelet is made of silver and can detect poison. As the saying goes, it is easy to hide from open guns and hard to avoid hidden arrows. You can never make a big mistake if you are careful."
Baili Shuang is not well. This bastard is a scourge. Don't send any more assassins. If Yang Gan is not dead by then, he may be the one who dies.
"By the way, sir, how on earth did you tell that something was wrong with those two people?"
Yang Gan sighed. People in this era are very careless and don't even have all the props ready.
"The pain of the pregnant woman is unbearable, but there is no sweat on the forehead, and even the temples are not wet. Although the two of them are wearing Guizhou clothes, the belts around their waists are tied wrongly. Guizhou people usually tie them tight for work. It's okay. Save your strength."
"But scholars and doctors are different. Anyone who has some status and does not have to work in the fields will wear his belt very loosely. This is more comfortable. Many things are born with it, and it is useless no matter how you hide it."
Baili Shuang looked serious and raised her hands to Yang Qian. Although she didn't say anything, the respect and awe in her tone could not be concealed.
Yang Qian gave up. Obviously he didn't care about this. What he cared about was the attitude of the Xie family. This family never took action. Whenever it did, it blamed the Wang family. Do you think you can't tell?
Are they too idiotic, or are they deliberately making themselves doubt themselves and tainting themselves?
"I admire your analysis, sir, but won't you pursue it further?"
Yang Qian took a sip of tea and ate some snacks. They tasted good. "Why are you asking so many questions? Could it be that you are a member of the Wang family or the Xie family?"
Baili Shuang was shocked and stopped repeatedly, "Sir, you are not joking like this. Although I am not blessed to be under your account, I am by no means a member of the Wang family and the Xie family."
Yang Qian stared at him closely. After a long time, he suddenly smiled, "Hahahaha, I'm scaring you. Why are you so anxious? You're already sweating."
Baili Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. If the master really wanted to kill her, he would be dead within three moves.
