Chapter 257: Are you worthy of my instruction?
Zhao Tianxing's eyelids twitched for half the night.
The mission this time is not difficult. It is nothing more than going to the farm and bringing back a weak young girl.
The people he sent out were all quite skilled. I heard that the young woman had a little girl with her who was a wild kung fu master, and her kung fu was pretty good. However, she was still not good enough in front of his men.
There will be no suspense at all.
But for some reason, his mind just felt uneasy.
After drinking two pots of wine and feeling a little tipsy, he fell asleep leaning on the armchair at the table without realizing it.
I don’t know how much time had passed, maybe it was almost dawn, when the sky was darkest.
Suddenly, it was as if the window was opened, and a cool breeze with raindrops rushed in.
He woke up with a sniffle and squinted at the window.
The window is not open.
The door is open.
His eyes suddenly widened, and he grabbed the sword at hand and drew it out of its sheath immediately.
The people outside the door didn't show any fear at all because of his unsheathed sword.
Fu Qingyin, dressed in red, walked out of the rainy night and stepped out of the house, and the flickering candlelight was illuminated red.
What he brought in was not fresh air, but the smell of blood.
Zhao Tianxing's throat rolled: "You..."
His drunkenness was completely gone and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Fu Qingyin sat down opposite him and gently turned the ring on his finger.
"It seems that you have recognized me?"
Zhao Tianxing's head was buzzing, and he kept exerting force on his sword-holding hand, hoping that this was just a dream.
When I woke up from the dream, Fu Qingyin was gone.
He really didn't want to have anything to do with Zhenqiaolou and Fu Qingyin.
"Commander-in-chief, you have honored me with your presence so late at night. I wonder if you have any instructions for me?" he asked calmly.
Zhao Tianxing looked outside, then glanced at the sword at Fu Qingyin's waist, and his heart sank again.
He knew very well that countless brothers outside had been killed.
Fu Qingyin's laughter was light and cold, like snowflakes falling from the collar into the back of the neck, making people want to shiver.
"Are you worthy of my instruction?"
Zhao Tianxing gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, not knowing how to respond for a moment, thinking that this might not end well.
I just don’t know how many people Fu Qingyin brought with him, and whether he can still escape.
Fu Qingyin watched his expression change and knew that he was up to something.
"I advise you not to think of running away. If I don't allow you to, you will not be able to leave this village."
Zhao Tianxing took a deep breath and said, "What does the commander want me to do? If I can do it, I will not refuse."
Fu Qingyin chuckled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and placed a medicine bottle on the table.
"Eat it."
Zhao Tianxing's face turned pale as he stared at the dark bottle. He knew without thinking that there was nothing good in it.
But in the current situation, I’m afraid I have to eat.
On second thought, since they were letting him eat instead of killing him directly, it meant that he was still useful.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tianxing had no choice but to make up his mind, pick up the medicine bottle and swallow it.
Fu Qingyin then asked, "Who hired someone to kill Yu Shengsheng this time?"
Zhao Tianxing was stunned. He actually came here for this matter. He realized at this moment that he should have tied the person back at this time. Until now, there was no sign of him. He was afraid that something might have happened.
He thought for a moment and said, "It's not hiring someone to kill her. It's asking us to capture her, lock her up here for two days, and then ask the Su family for a ransom."
Fu Qingyin's narrow eyes shone fiercely: "Think it over first, then tell me."
Zhao Tianxing's heart trembled. This look was like a hook that could hook out his internal organs.
He bowed his head and said, "I am telling the truth. The commander may not know that the buyer did say so and paid one thousand taels."
"but……"
As soon as Zhao Tianxing hesitated, Fu Qingyin's finger with the ring tapped lightly on the edge of the table. The two seemingly ordinary sounds made him feel like thunder exploding in his ears. The rumbling sound made his eardrums feel like they were shattered and his head hurt.
He involuntarily loosened his grip on the sword, held his head with both hands, looked painful, and his legs could not stand, so he fell to one knee on the ground.
It seemed like a long time had passed in a trance, and I vaguely heard two noises, and then the headache slowly disappeared.
In just a moment, he was covered in cold sweat and his inner clothes were soaked.
Zhao Tianxing's fingers trembled slightly, and he finally understood what the purpose of eating just now was.
There was still a faint ringing in my ears, and Fu Qingyin's voice came closer and closer: "Tell the truth. Trying to conceal it is the result of what you just did."
Zhao Tianxing experienced this once personally. It felt like a sharp blade was stirring wildly in his head. The noise was so loud that his whole body felt like it was about to be shattered. He didn't want to experience this feeling again.
"I will tell you everything I know. The buyer's order is to trap Yu Shengsheng here for two days and ask the Su family to pay two thousand taels to redeem her. When she returns, her reputation will be ruined."
"However, the Lord wants her life, so..."
Fu Qingyin then understood why he hesitated just now and changed his request for hiring a killer for no reason. This was against the rules.
However, what rules can we follow when it comes to this kind of people and this kind of business?
“Who is the buyer?”
This time Zhao Tianxing said without hesitation: "It's the second son of the Su family, Su Yanshu."
Fu Qingyin paused and asked, "Who is your Lord?"
Zhao Tianxing shook his head. Seeing that Fu Qingyin looked unhappy, he was afraid that the pain would come again, so he quickly explained: "I really don't know. The Lord has never shown up. He always sent letters via carrier pigeons. If we have something to ask for instructions, we will go to a certain place in the city, light incense, and smell the fragrance, and the Lord will come to meet us."
Fu Qingyin stroked the ring on his finger, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Whether he is a boy or a girl, we should know this."
"It should be a man," Zhao Tianxing thought, "Every time we meet, she is always dressed as a man, wearing a black veil or a mask, and her voice is deep like a man's."
"Why would he come here?"
"He hasn't been here for quite a while. The last time he came was more than half a year ago. He doesn't come here easily."
"Why do you listen to him so much?" Fu Qingyin felt that there must be a reason for this.
Zhao Tianxing's breath was slightly choked: "The commander doesn't know."
…
After a thrilling night, Yu Shengsheng got up not late in the morning and asked Jin Baobao to secretly inquire around to make sure that only her yard had experienced what happened last night and no one else knew about it.
She asked Jin Baobao not to tell anyone and pretend that the incident had never happened.
Nanny Zhou was still terrified: "Miss, are you going back to the city today? Or should we go to the pawnshop to buy some guards first?"
Yu Shengsheng shook her head slowly: "Not yet. The man in black last night was obviously coming for me. There must be someone behind the scenes. Now that he has been arrested, maybe the person behind the scenes doesn't know yet."
Her eyes flashed coldly: "Mammy, if the person behind the scenes doesn't know, what does he want to do most now?"
Madam Zhou thought for a moment and quickly figured it out: "Miss, you mean..."
Yu Shengsheng nodded: "Not many people know that I came to Zhuangzi. I want to see who is so eager to take my life."
Just as Nanny Zhou was about to speak, someone outside came to report: "Princess, General Su is here."
Nanny Zhou's face suddenly changed, and Yu Shengsheng silently clenched the handkerchief.
