The voice was steady and penetrating. Song Chi felt it was somewhat familiar. He lifted the curtain and looked over. Although he couldn't see the face clearly, he recognized who he was by his figure and voice.
The person who came was none other than Zhang Wuye, the leader of Yongshengtang Gang.
Song Chi got off the carriage and said loudly, "What I admire most about Young Master Han is his gambling nature. He really wants you to come and get yourself killed."
"I'm here to give my life to you, but whether you can take it away depends on your ability."
As he spoke, he continued to walk forward. In the bright moonlight, he could vaguely see the face of the person coming. It was Zhang Wu.
A few days ago, Song Chi made a bet with Han Yuanzheng on whether the price of grain could be stabilized. The bet was Zhang Wu's life. He never thought that Han Yuanzheng would accept the bet.
Zhang Wu is the leader of the Yongsheng Gang and the underground overlord of the entire Ning'an Prefecture, Ji County and Lin County. He has done many shameful things. He plays a very important role in the Han family and has a very high status.
From what we saw at the banquet that day, it was clear that he could sit on equal footing with the Han father and son and the prefect.
How could Han Yuanzheng be willing to hand over such a person?
Song Chi was just trying to provoke Han Yuanzheng, but he didn't expect Zhang Wu to actually show up. He definitely wasn't trying to kill himself, so it could only be...
"As a young man, you stirred up the situation in Ji County. You have achieved such a reputation, which is quite satisfying. Now, I have come to fulfill the bet with Young Master Han for you. If you are really capable, I will give you my life!"
Zhang Wu's voice was cold, as if without any emotion, completely different from the arrogant look he had shown that day.
"If you don't have the ability, then I will take your life!"
As the last word fell, the temperature around seemed to drop a lot.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you speak to Mr. Song like that? You're really courting death!" At this time, a yamen runner shouted.
"Brothers, this man dared to disrespect Case Leader Song. Let's take him down!"
Several yamen runners seemed to want to show off in front of Song Chi, and three of them strode towards Zhang Wu.
“Don’t go over there!”
Lao Mo shouted loudly, but it was too late. He saw a flash of cold light, and the three yamen runners stood there speechless. Then a horrifying scene appeared... the three heads fell off at the same time.
Their heads were gone, and their headless bodies fell to the ground.
"ah!"
The two yamen runners following behind screamed and collapsed to the ground. They were so scared that all the strength was drained from their bodies.
Song Chi's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Although I didn't see it clearly, I could tell that Zhang Wu had just used a sharp weapon to chop off the heads of three yamen runners in an instant. Such skills are definitely not possessed by ordinary people.
Now it seems that Zhang Wu has another identity.
"I am Zhang Wu, the leader of Yongsheng Hall, but before that I had another identity."
Zhang Wu said quietly, "You can call me Zhang Wu, or you can call me Four Fingers, the Hongxiufang Killer!"
"Hongxiufang?"
"Four fingers?"
Song Chi's expression changed slightly. These names were unfamiliar. Shadow Pavilion should be a killer organization, and Four Fingers was his nickname.
Yes, Zhang Wu is missing a finger.
Unbeknownst to them, there is an unknown world!
"Four fingers? He actually has four fingers?"
Lao Mo's tone was shocked, which surprised Song Chi. Lao Mo had actually heard of this name.
"You know him?"
"Know."
Lao Mo said calmly, "Hongxiufang is the number one assassin organization in the martial arts world. There are only ninety-nine assassins in the organization, not one more, not one less. Only when one person dies will another one join. Each assassin has extremely powerful killing methods and is highly skilled."
There really is a Jianghu. Although Song Chi is curious, now is not the time to ask too many questions. He is more concerned about whether Zhang Wu is powerful or not.
As if he knew what Song Chi was thinking, Lao Mo explained, "The Four Fingers' nickname was once quite popular. Normally, losing a thumb would result in a disability, and the hand wouldn't be able to hold a sword. So he found a way to wrap the sword around his hand, and it turned out to be quite powerful. If I had a weapon, I would definitely be able to defeat him, but now... I'm afraid I can only block him, not defeat him."
Song Chi understood that Lao Mo meant that he could save him from death, but might not be able to kill Zhang Wu.
Lao Mo is indeed not an ordinary person.
While the two were talking, Zhang Wu walked a few steps forward to the carriage without even looking at the two yamen runners lying limply on the ground.
"Captain Song, you are young and promising, with a bright future ahead of you. Why do you choose to go against us? If you want to commit suicide, then I will take your life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light pierced towards Song Chi!
This is a sword with a rope wrapped around the hilt, and the other end of the rope is wrapped around Zhang Wu's hand. No, now he is not the leader of the Yongsheng Gang, Zhang Wu, but Four Fingers, the killer from Hongxiufang!
His eyes were as sharp as his sword, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a sinister smile.
There was only one groom beside Song Chi, and he knew that Song Chi was going to die under his sword!
In his eyes, Song Chi was a genius. He was extremely intelligent and had made the Han family so embarrassed in just a short period of time. No one had ever done that before.
He has seen many geniuses, many of whom died at his hands, and now he is about to kill another genius.
"Take action, don't let Song Chi die." At the same time, two figures were quietly hiding on the eaves not far away.
It was Luo Yurou, the daughter of Duke Anguo, and her maid Xiaoqing.
She said she wanted a beauty saving the hero.
"etc."
Just as Xiaoqing was about to attack, Luo Yurou called for a stop again.
"Song Chi is not panicking at all. I think the groom beside him is not an ordinary person. Let's wait a little longer."
As the two were talking, a cold light pierced Song Chi. At the critical moment, Lao Mo drew his sword and turned the blade over.
