Tang Chen looked around to check the surroundings, and after making sure that no suspicious people were following him, he hid in front of an abandoned hut.
When Wang Yanzhou, who had been keeping a safe distance, caught up, the scene before him was something no one could have expected.
A man in black suddenly appeared, wielding a cold, murderous dagger, and suddenly appeared before Tang Chen. Before she could react, the cold dagger pierced her chest without warning. The pain in her body brought her thoughts back to the present moment.
Tang Chen looked down in horror at the dagger that had suddenly pierced her body, then left her body, laden with blood. Blood gushed wildly from her chest, instantly staining her clothes and the disciples at her feet. As the blood from Tang Chen's mouth and the tears trickled down her cheeks, Tang Chen trembled and fell to the ground, seemingly unconscious.
At this moment, the owner of the sharp blade was about to leave, but was stopped in a corner by the folding fan that suddenly flew out of Wang Yanzhou's hand.
Looking at Tang Chen lying on the ground in a pool of blood with his eyes closed, Wang Yanzhou put away his folding fan expressionlessly. The sudden murderous aura around him turned into an invisible blade, making the hairs on the murderer's back stand up.
Tang Chen, who should have been lying unconscious on the ground, quickly opened his eyes when he heard the sudden sound of weapons clashing. Realizing that things had gotten out of hand, Tang Chen hurriedly called out to stop Wang Yanzhou just as the cold iron blade of his folding fan was about to slit the killer's throat: "Stop!"
Wang Yanzhou was suddenly distracted when he heard Tang Chen's voice, and the killer successfully avoided the attack and saved his life.
Seeing Tang Chen suddenly stand up from the ground, Wang Yanzhou's expression was so unclear whether he was laughing or crying: "You, you..."
Tang Chen quickly spat out the pig blood in his mouth, straightened his tongue and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! I can explain it, really! Let's calm down first, calm down, and put down our weapons."
Wang Yanzhou put away his folding fan, stepped forward quickly, and slapped Tang Chen in the face: "If you can't explain it clearly, I will let you know what the consequences of deceiving me are."
"Well, seriously, calm down. Things are a little complicated, but I can explain it, really."
The cause of the scene just now actually stemmed from a chance encounter between Tang Chen and the killer in front of the pork stall yesterday...
Tang Chen walked along the official road alone for a while, sulking, and finally arrived at the small town where the post station was located. After rubbing his rumbling stomach, Tang Chen decided that it would be better to go to the town and eat himself to death. However, Tang Chen, holding a bag of chestnut cakes, walked to a pork stall when he was abducted by a stranger.
Faced with this familiar scene, Tang Chen did not feel panic at all, and even ate the cakes calmly.
Seeing her like this, the stranger who had suddenly captured her suddenly lost his motivation for work. After tricking Tang Chen into eating half a bag of chestnut cakes, the stranger reciprocated by introducing himself and the reason for his abduction.
The explanation is actually quite simple. Judging from the way he is dressed, the man in black is a killer, codenamed Black Crow. The reason he came this time was actually because he accepted a deal. The buyer spent a hundred gold leaves to take Tang Chen's head. But Black Crow, as a casual worker, always does things according to his mood. He happened to be in a good mood today, so he wanted to let Tang Chen go. However, he had already received a deposit in advance, and if he did not give the other party an explanation, it would be a violation of the professional ethics of the industry. So, he and Tang Chen decided to put on a show.
When Tang Chen left the post station and arrived at the agreed abandoned house, Hei Ya was already waiting for her with a small bag hanging on a tree.
"I thought you were scared and ran away," Hei Ya jumped down from the crooked tree in the yard and stuffed the things in his hand into Tang Chen's arms, "I have prepared everything, we can start soon."
Tang Chen held something in his arms, raised his hand, and asked, "Ask a question."
"Speaking."
Tang Chen was a little confused: "If others can't see this, then wouldn't our performance be in vain?"
Black Crow raised his eyebrows and smiled, then he hooked Tang Chen's chin: "Don't worry, it won't be in vain. Just do what we planned yesterday. I will pretend to appear suddenly, and you must show your panic and fear. Later, you will put this pig blood bag on your chest clothes, and I will cut it with this knife, and it will be over."
Tang Chen swallowed subconsciously, feeling that this was a very risky thing to say. If it weren't for the very tempting performance fee he offered, she might not have come today. "Then you have to be careful, don't hurt me, I'm afraid of pain!"
Black Crow patted Tang Chen's shoulder in fear, signaling her to be at ease: "Don't worry, I'm a professional."
Tang Chen closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths before calming himself down: "Okay, I'll get ready. You can hide now, and then we can get started."
"no problem."
In their staged play, Wang Yanzhou's sudden appearance was a surprising side story after the perfect ending. Fortunately, the person sent by the previous owner to monitor the operation left and returned to report after seeing Tang Chen lying in a pool of blood. Otherwise, their play would have been in vain.
The story was over, and Black Crow's dagger was wiped clean. Wang Yanzhou also calmed down and slowly walked in front of Black Crow:
"Since you are a killer, whose orders did you follow?"
Black Crow laughed playfully, "Another killer."
