An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

According to the average, 40,000 taels of gold is 400,000 taels of silver! 400,000 taels, it would take ten years to earn 40,000 taels every year, not to mention that he could not earn 40,000 taels a year at all!

Thinking of this, Zhao counted on his fingers and calculated silently in his mind, whether he should make such a large sum of money?

Three breaths, just three breaths, maybe less than three breaths, Zhao stood up decisively, stretched out his hand to pull the three people in front of him, pointed at Liu Zhiyuan with his back and asked in a deep voice: "Is there really someone who offers 40,000 taels of gold to buy his life?"

"Really."

"Absolutely true!"

"My lord, think about it, if no one spends a lot of money, there won't be so many people gathered here."

The three people spoke in almost the same tone, or even exactly the same. Zhao kept silent, listening carefully with his ears erect, and when the three stopped talking, he spoke with a gloomy face.

"Do you know our identities?"

"I know." The man on the left nodded hurriedly.

Hearing the word "know", Qinglong looked at the three people in surprise, his expression became more and more ugly. Originally, he thought that they had only revealed their whereabouts, but he didn't expect that everything that could be revealed and couldn't be revealed was completely revealed.

Now the five of them were no different from being naked, and even worse than being naked, because they didn't even have hands to cover their faces.

From inside to outside, from top to bottom, naked, naked!

"Alas." He turned his head and sighed.

Baihu and Zhuque couldn't help but lower their heads, and the feeling of helplessness almost filled their hearts. Liu Zhiyuan was open-minded and didn't feel too depressed, but he looked sad and heavy.

"Who is he?" Zhao Jue's voice disturbed the emotions of the four people. They turned their heads to look at Zhao Jue one after another, wondering why Zhao Jue asked knowingly.

The man looked up and carefully examined Liu Zhiyuan, then confirmed: "That gentleman is the Zhenyuan General in charge of Shu, General Liu Zhiyuan."

This answer made Zhao Jue smile instantly, and he asked cheerfully: "Don't you know that he is in a high position? Aren't you afraid that he will make money but not spend it?"

"Money is attractive, let alone hundreds of thousands of taels." The man laughed.

"Hundreds of thousands of taels? Millions of taels shouldn't be too confusing, right? Huh?" Zhao Jue asked in surprise. So far, the only thing he couldn't figure out was: the Jianghu people who blocked the way knew everything, including the true identities of the five people, their whereabouts along the way, and even their appearance before and after the disguise, but they were unclear about the most important cultivation.

Isn't this avoiding the important and focusing on the trivial? Who would do things this way? Weird, really weird, unspeakably weird.

He raised his eyes and stared at the man's face, sneering: "Is it worth it to go head-to-head with a junior master for money? Isn't this a way to seek death?"

Hearing Zhao Jue's mocking words, the three people's faces became particularly ugly. To be honest, if the three of them knew that the other party had a junior master, how could they have the idea of ​​killing people for rewards, and how dare they do it?

Isn't it not unknown!

"Alas." A bitter sigh.

"Huh." Another long sigh.

The last person was about to sigh, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the strong murderous intent in Zhao Jue's eyes, and quickly closed his mouth.

Nodding and complaining: "How could we know there was a junior master! If we knew, how could we take such a life-threatening business?"

"You really don't know?" Zhao Jue frowned, with a strong murderous intent.

The three of them were startled and hurriedly shook their heads to deny, "We really don't know!"

"Hehe." Zhao grinned and looked at the three people in front of him intently, as if he wanted to see whether they were mostly telling the truth or lies from the subtle changes on their faces.

After a short silence, he seemed to not want to think anymore, and slowly drew out the long knife from his waist, and slowly put the cold blade on the neck of the man on his right.

"Even though you are sincere, I still don't believe that you three know nothing."

The cold light was so close that the man couldn't think much at the critical moment of life and death, and hurriedly shouted "Sir..."

Before he finished speaking, the blade quickly approached, and Zhao held the handle of the knife and shouted: "Shut up!"

The four people behind him were shocked by his suddenly raised voice. Zhuque carefully raised his hand to hold him, and gently advised: "Don't worry, take your time."

Zhao patted her hand to comfort her. He glanced at Liu Zhiyuan, put away the knife and grabbed the man's collar, pointed to the right side of the gate, and said to the other two in a deep voice: "You two go over there and stand facing the wall."

Then he turned to Zhuque and Baihu and said sternly: "Watch them, if they make any moves, kill them directly!"

"Okay." Baihu and Zhuque took the two people to the wall and stood there, and answered in unison.

Seeing that the two had already stood there, Zhao waved to Qinglong and motioned him to come over.

"What's wrong?" Qinglong walked up to him and whispered in his ear.

"I suspect there's something fishy going on among the five of us." Zhao said briefly.

"What!" Qinglong just felt incredible.

He was quick-witted, and after a little thought, he pointed to Liu Zhiyuan next to him. Zhao understood and nodded gently.

"What do you think?" Qinglong asked.

"First find out if it's him, so please keep an eye on him!" Zhao said quietly.

"Well, I got it."

"Thank you." Zhao bowed solemnly.

He stopped talking after that, and dragged the man out in a muffled voice.

After the "creaky" sound of the door closing, the deserted temple returned to silence. Baihu and Zhuque stared at the two people with their faces against the wall. Qinglong stood with his hands folded, and his eyes never left Liu Zhiyuan. Liu Zhiyuan was frightened by his stare, and wanted to ask several times, but was repeatedly stopped by Qinglong's cold expression.

Soon, Zhao came in with the soaked man, ignoring Liu Zhiyuan's eyes, and pushed the man to the wall and dragged another man out of the door.

This time took longer than the last time, more than half a quarter of an hour before he dragged the soaked man in. Immediately afterwards, he dragged the third man out of the temple.

The third time took even longer, almost two quarters of an hour.

Zhao came in with a gloomy face, silently pushed the man to the wall, turned his head and looked at Liu Zhiyuan a few times, his face became even gloomier.

Being frightened by the two eyes, Liu Zhiyuan's mouth twitched, and asked with his hands spread out: "Brother, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Brother Liu, you are not honest!" Zhao said coldly.

"What do you mean by not honest? Why can't I understand what you are saying, brother?" Liu Zhiyuan scratched his head awkwardly, looking confused and at a loss.

After saying that, Baihu and Zhuque looked at each other, totally unable to understand what the two were saying, while Qinglong, who had checked in with Zhao Jue in advance, was slightly puzzled and slowly lowered his eyes.

On the other hand, Zhao Jue still had a sneer on his face, pointed at Liu Zhiyuan and slowly said with a smile: "Brother Liu, there is a ghost among the five of us, guess who it is?"

"How can I guess that?" Liu Zhiyuan said embarrassedly.

"Of course you can guess it! It's just that you don't want to say it!" Zhao Jue gritted his teeth and said.

He swept his eyes over the four people, took in the expressions on their faces, pointed at Liu Zhiyuan and said fiercely: "This ghost..."

"It's you!"
