Assassin A

I had seen "A Tale of Cloud City" in Qingnan Wangfu, but it was an eye-opener when I really came to this city.

The climate in Yuncheng is mild and humid, not as hot as the Southern Region.In the east of the city, there are shallow hills rolling up and down, meandering like an arm holding Yuncheng in its arms.

Perhaps it is because of the comfortable climate that the locals are cheerful and cheerful, and both men and women speak extremely fast.

When Shiwu was eating breakfast outside, he saw a girl scolding a boy. It seemed to be her brother, right?The chirping, quacking, and quacking sound was like the knocking of a crossbow machine. Although Shiwu didn't understand the dialect, he felt very happy.

There is a separate chapter on Yuncheng Lue that records "Yuncheng Red Cloth", and what He Yuntian wears is a kind of red cloth.

In fact, there are many kinds of red cloth, not just cloth, but the color dyed by the dye "Yuncheng Red".Go to a cloth store, cotton, linen and silk materials are all available.

Fifteen has already changed the clothes of the postman and pretended to be an ordinary traveling merchant.He was dressed in a blue cloth shirt, with a brand-new rucksack on his shoulder.

Walking into a cloth shop with a dignified appearance, a clerk came up to greet him.

That guy is also a shrewd person, after listening to Fifteen's Southern Region accent, he looked him up and down and guessed: "Is this your first time selling red cloth in Yuncheng?"

Shiwu smiled stupidly, "Yes, I heard people say that Yunchenghong is very popular. If it can be sold to the north, there will be more oil and water, so I plan to buy some."

The man smiled, he had seen this kind of peddler who had just arrived, and immediately let him in. There was only one room, full of red eyes, and all kinds of materials.

Fifteen is upset with the color in his heart, the red is too dazzling!This thing is already a target when you put it on, and it's still the color in the center. Isn't it okay to find a model?

"Aiya~~ There are so many beautiful things in my eyes, I can't see them~~"

The man curled his lips secretly, no knowledge!

"Oh, this material feels so good, it's thick and dense. What's the price?"

The buddy put on a smirk and stretched out his hand to count.Fifteen pretended to ponder, took the clerk's hand and counted in his palm, and the clerk stretched out two fingers and counted in his palm.

Fifteen scratched his head, "I'll go back and discuss with the brothers who came with me."

The man was not in a hurry, he smiled calmly and said, "Please go ahead."

This black shop!

He clearly remembered what Mu Zigui had said about the prices of the various red cloths in Yuncheng, but the guy just now wanted them to be [-]% higher!Even if his business is small, it can't be ridiculously expensive!

After leaving the shop and turning the corner, someone suddenly came over and grabbed his sleeve, "This brother wants to buy red cloth?"

Fifteen turned his head, only to see a middle-aged man with a cautious expression, who answered casually, "Exactly."

The man avoided Shiwu's eyes, and turned his head slightly: "Take a step to talk."

Shiwuyin touched his waist with his left hand under the bag, "Brother, what advice do you have? The younger brother came to Yuncheng for the first time, and his eyes were smeared—I don't know anything."

The man cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "I, my family has cheap and good cloth, brother, would you like to come with me to have a look?"

Fifteen laughed loudly, took the opportunity of patting his shoulder to test it out, and then pulled the elder brother's wrist: "Why don't you go if there are good and cheap things, let's go! Take the younger brother to have a look." Feeling his pulse again .

Well, just an ordinary person.strangeness!

Followed the man and turned left and right, when Shiwu became suspicious again and was about to stun him and drag him to a place where no one was around to tie him up for interrogation, the man finally stopped in front of a small courtyard door, turned around and bent slightly, "Please .”

Fifteen generals were skeptical, refused to go first, and were giving way to the middle-aged man when the courtyard door suddenly opened.

A pretty little girl quickly said a series of words to the man, and then said to Fifteen: "Come inside."

Red cloth is flying everywhere in the courtyard...

After being let into the house, the little girl poured a bowl of tea and brought it over, and then the man slowly explained why he brought Shiwu here, why he didn't open a shop for business, and so on.

Looking at the furnishings in the room, and observing the fingers of the two, they are indeed ordinary small workshops.

This guy is not a seasoned businessman at first glance, and he is still doing nothing. Just after Shiwu expressed his attitude, he lowered the price himself, and it was [-]% lower than what Mu Zigui said.

The girl was in a hurry, and pushed the man repeatedly, and secretly pinched his arm.Fifteen saw it as funny, so he didn't make fun of them at all. Anyway, he had the silver taels from the prince, and it would not be a problem to buy three or five bolts of fabric.

Just as she was going to get some money, the girl got anxious and stopped her: "I don't want to sell it! Where can I find it at this price? My old man's brain is broken."

The man was also anxious, so the two began to speak the local dialect quickly.

Fifteen flapped his nostrils a few times, discerning the smell of boiling herbs in the strong smell of dye in the hut.

Obviously, if the whole family in small businesses can live a normal life, once someone gets sick... I sniff again, astragalus?Rehmannia glutinosa?There is even ginseng?

Put the silver gifted by the King of Qingnan on the table, "Just buy it at the price that the elder brother said at first. My family also has a sick mother, and the small family can't help these tossing."

For a moment, the girl stopped talking, her face flushed, and she stood aside in embarrassment without saying a word.

The man's eyes turned red, "This...I..."

Fifteen made a haha, "Little brother didn't understand anything when he came to Yuncheng for the first time. Big brother is willing to sell me the fabric at such a cheap price. If you don't cheat, how can little brother take advantage again? If big brother feels bad, please treat me to a light meal." , Let my niece cook two small dishes, and we can count as friends."

The girl spat, "Which one is your niece! I'm only in my twenties, why are you pretending to be big!" After saying that, she turned around and ran out. Wu said: "My sister is not sensible..."

Fifteen waved his hands and smiled cordially: "It's okay. Brother, before I came, I heard people say that the Guo family, the richest man in Yuncheng, has a great career, and I'm envious of him. I wonder if the elder brother can tell the younger brother to gain insight?"

Eat with the people of this small workshop at noon.The little girl was quick-spoken and inexperienced, and she revealed everything that the uncle dared not say just now, and gritted her teeth bitterly when she mentioned Guo Shi in her tone.

Only then did Fifteen know that the magnificent cloth shop he just went to was one of Guo's properties.The Guo family relied on the fact that the local clan was familiar with the government, and Guo Yanci, a disciple who worshiped under Liu Shimian, was born in the clan, and they were even more arrogant.

Let’s talk about red cloth, tea and jade, which are special products of Mishan in Yuncheng, which one don’t they account for [-]-[-]% of it?

How can the remaining small workshops and small businesses compete? Even if there are cheap and good goods, once they are discovered by Guo's people, they will immediately collude with the government, and they will give you a title or search or copy it.

Yuncheng is straightforward by nature, and the little girl in this family is going to help to set up a family at a young age. Her words are very vitriolic, and she scolded Mrs. Guo bloody.Speaking of the last mention of the poor family, her mother has been sick in bed, unable to afford medicine, waiting to die...

After all, I was still a half-grown child, and tears fell down.

Fifteen just listened.

Since he entered the camp, he has searched and explored various places for Lord Li, and has seen too many similar things.It's not that his heart is numb, but he remembers what the adults said.

[If you helped one of them, can you help everyone in the world?You see this person is pitiful, but how much more pitiful is there?If you really want to do your best, then do your job well, and I will do the rest. 】 Guo Mansion.

A huge mansion that can be found without guidance.

Fifteen, carrying a bag on his back and carrying a net of fresh fruit in his hand, passed by the stately gate of the Guo Mansion, walked around the alley next to the courtyard wall, and when he reached the back door for servants to enter and exit, he deliberately cut off the net. The son made the fruit roll all over the ground.

His flurry of hands and feet was really funny, the boys guarding the door laughed at him in unison, Shiwu slowly picked up the fruits and put them in a net with a smile, of course he dropped them while loading them, which angered the boys They even laughed happily.

Fifteen used a rucksack to carry it again, but the bag on the rucksack couldn't fit it in after all, and he made trouble with four or five round fruits in his arms. Looking around, he simply stepped up the steps and said as he walked, "This fruit is for delivery." Let everyone eat."

The boys smiled and picked them up one by one.

Fifteen raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, "The weather is damn hot."

One of the boys said: "You are not dressed properly, it is hot and humid here, just go buy a thin shirt and put it on. From your accent, you are from the north, right?"

Fifteen nodded: "Yes, it is said that there are treasures everywhere in Yuncheng, and I will also come here to sell some rare ones and sell them back to earn a wife's capital."

"Hey, my face is blushing! This is a good match!"

Fifteen luck continued to smother her face even more red, expecting Ai Ai: "Well, Cui Niu looks good, if you don't prepare a lot of betrothal gifts, I'm afraid her father won't give her to me."

The topic between men becomes lively when it comes to women, not to mention a group of young men with full of vigor, those servants of the Guo Mansion chat with Shiwu all of a sudden.

During the period, people came in and out of the door a few times, and those who had no trace of Shiwu memorized the visible places in their hearts.But, after all, the gate is small and the courtyard is big, so you can't see more.

Fifteen just kept making jokes with the boys, and made a few business deals now and then, looking completely foolish.Not long after, seeing that there was nothing to be found, he found an excuse and withdrew.

into the night.

After changing into night clothes, he quietly sneaked into Guo's mansion through the back door he passed by during the day.

There are many mountains in Yuncheng, even if the mansion is built on a flat place like the Guo Mansion, it is difficult to avoid the undulating terrain due to the huge courtyard.Although it seems that the northern pattern has a central axis, the side courtyards and the cross courtyards on both sides are built in layers, falling down layer by layer.Because of the rainy climate, the courtyards and patios are as dense as beehives, and open halls are often set up, separated by flower covers. The courtyards are full of flowers and plants, creating a leisurely and comfortable scene.

But Fifteen doesn't care whether the house is beautiful or ugly, so many flowers and trees and patios are just what he likes.The only difficulty is that there are too many stacked houses, and they are staggered, so it is easy to be found by walking on the roof.

His job this time is Guo Yandan, the second son of the head of the Guo family.

This name has been mentioned many times by the girl in the small dyeing workshop today.Although the old patriarch of the Guo family is still alive, the person in charge is actually Guo Yandan.

It is said that this person is personable and handsome, but he has a vicious heart.According to the meaning of the little girl's words, ordinary people doing business with him is equivalent to sending fresh meat to the wolf dog's mouth, and they don't even leave you a piece of scum.

Fifteen smiled quietly.He likes it like this, and he feels happy when he cuts it down!

Just as he was thinking, his ears moved, and the agile cat was in a dark corner of the courtyard.

There is a woman's coquettish laughter, which is clear and sweet, and there is a man's deep teasing.who is thisCautiously poked his head out to watch, only saw the back of a middle-sized man, and he could see the luxurious clothes by the light of the lantern carried by the servant.

Intermittent conversations came to my ears, and the title of "Second Young Master" lifted Fifteen's spirit!

Oh~~ Did you deliver it to your door?

However, Fifteen did not intend to do anything tonight.Stepping on the ground, getting familiar with the entry and exit routes, and scouting the number of servants in the courtyard, this is what he will do tonight.

Fifteen, there has always been patience.

Silently followed behind, it's a pity that Guo Yandan suddenly became "interested", hugged and touched the woman under the cover of vegetation, and made a fuss in the courtyard for half an hour!

Fifteen silently greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the mosquitoes in Yuncheng.

I don't move!Just don't move!Come on, the young master is doing bloodletting today, let the mosquitoes of your Guo family eat their blood first, and tomorrow they will kill you with a knife!

Jie Jie Jie...

Finally, the man and woman were eager to get down to business. Maybe they were afraid that the gnats would leave a bunch of "little red envelopes of love" on their white and tender buttocks, so they pushed and shoved into a rather grand room Big house.

Fifteen still quietly lay in ambush to feed the mosquitoes.

Sure enough, there were servants and maids who came up to serve after the incident, but Guo Yandan was the only one who left the room.The woman seemed to have passed out because of the intensity just now, or was she exhausted?

Fifteen continued to follow Guo Yandan, and finally followed him to his real residence, which was the end.

He came out as quietly as when sneaking in, turned left and right on the [-]th Road, and walked around half a circle before returning to his inn.

Take off your night clothes and drink a pot of herbal tea.

The neck, the back of the hands, and the corners of the eyes were not immune to the warm hospitality of the mosquitoes. What made Fifteen angry the most was that the mosquitoes in Yuncheng had such long mouths~ They even bit him twice through the sleeves!

But all ointments used to treat mosquito bites have a medicinal fragrance, which is a big taboo for assassins, Fifteen thought about it and finally decided: Endure it!Let's wait until Guo Yandan is killed tomorrow.

After simply scrubbing with clean water, Assassin A, who spent half the night in the flowers, fell asleep soundly.

On the second day, Shiwu had eaten breakfast and pretended to go out for business, but sneaked back to the inn after wandering around, with a few pieces of dry food in his arms, and quietly meditated in the room to recuperate his strength.

Be sure, kill him with one knife tonight in the best condition, understand the errand early and go back to the southern region early.

He promised Rong Min that he would return home within fifteen days at the latest.

Going home... Shuwu closed his eyes and rested his mind, the corners of Shiwu's mouth slightly raised.

Sneak into Guo Mansion according to the route explored last night.

Dodging all the way, he soon found Guo Yandan's room.

Before the person came back, Shiwu gently pushed open a crack in the door...

wrong!There is fraud!

Even if there is no one in such a deep house, how could there be no candles left?

Fifteen held his breath, and slowly retreated to the escape place he had found before through the shadow of the corridor, and there was a hint of sweetness in the air.

Medication?

betrayed!

escape!

No longer restraining his breath and concentrating, he ejected a fire pellet in the opposite direction from which he was escaping, and the ball hit the partition window, immediately igniting the screen.

"This is fraud, don't let him deceive you." Shouts came from all directions!

Fifteen did not change direction, who knows if there is an ambush in the place where the voice is weak?It's better to take the road he knows better than rushing around.

Leaping onto the ridge, at a glance... miserable!There are people's heads surging in every courtyard and patio, and the sound of breaking through the air behind them keeps running all the way.

There were seven or eight nurses holding steel knives in front of them and roaring: "Where are you running?!"

Fifteen pulled off his belt, jumped up with the help of the eaves, turned around in the air and shook his left arm, and the flying knives wrapped in the belt scattered down.

In the moonlight, the silver light flickered, and there was a wail.

But this jump made Shiwu even more shocked, his strength was not enough, and he became more and more short of breath.

That sweet thing!

There seems to be some kind of drug in Yuncheng Lue?Shaking his head, his consciousness began to be a little fuzzy.

Seeing that he was about to run out of the mansion, a long laugh came from the facing wall.

Guo Yandan pointed at the scimitar: "Xuanji Camp's [-]th is nothing more than that. Did you hide hard yesterday? I didn't expect you to resist giving up such a good opportunity. It's amazing for this one. It's just It's a pity that Yao'er set up the confusion yesterday, today I will personally teach you about the Xuanji Camp..."

This man talks so much nonsense!

Fifteen jumped up to the top of the wall, drew his swords out of their sheaths, and posed a pose: "Fifteen at Xia Xuanji Camp!"

Guo Yandan laughed loudly, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were extremely bright, and he clasped his fists leisurely: "I am the one you want to assassinate...Hey! Don't run away if you have the guts!"

Idiots don't run away!

Fifteen took out a small flying knife from his sleeve, and stabbed heavily at the outside of his right arm!

Spirited up, keep running.

It was the first time for Guo Yandan to be teased for his age, so he picked up the longbow handed by the guard angrily, with three sharp arrows close together, the bow was as full as the moon.

Fifteen heard the sound of arrows flying, but he didn't have the strength to avoid everything, so he simply took the arrow.

Come on, anyway, I don't have any good places left on the right half of my fan, so it doesn't matter if there is an extra hole!

An arrow shot out through his shoulder, and Shiwu staggered.

Only the person chasing behind shouted: "Let the dog go!"

Fifteen is desperate...
