Chapter 119 Hidden City Blood-Cloaked Guards
Ji Qiubai pulled his sleeve and reluctantly moved his butt a little closer to his sister.
He ignored her, turned his head, held his chin with both hands, looked at his beloved's profile, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
downstairs.
The major martial arts sects have gathered together to form a street market with the help of the stalls set up in the main hall of Yinyu Tower.
Seeing this, Su Yuan stood up leisurely, walked to the door, put on the white fox mask, tilted his head towards Ji Shian and his sister in the room, and asked in a long and slow tone:
"I'm going to the first floor. What about you? Or - stay in the room?"
Ji Qiubai quickly picked up the mask he had just thrown on the ground and put it on. He quickly walked to Su Yuan and said softly:
"I want to go, too."
Ji Shian sighed helplessly, followed his brother calmly, shrugged at Su Yuan, and said in a nonchalant tone:
"The little ancestor doesn't want to stay in the room, and I can't do anything about it. Since I have nothing to do, I'll go down with him!"
Su Yuan glanced at the two of them, nodded, said "hmm" lightly, and went downstairs with the two idle people.
I walked less than half way through.
She suddenly stopped in front of a huge iron cage, and looked into the cage following the thick bloodstains winding on the ground.
Just see.
On the rusty and mottled thick iron pole, hung a series of men and women with their limbs tied up like cargo, their bodies covered in scars and blood.
The large pool of bright red blood that she had just seen was formed by the bloody people in the cage dripping onto the ground along their clothes.
The ghost-faced woman who was in charge of guarding the iron cage saw Su Yuan standing there for a long time, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
She walked over slowly, pointed at the iron cage, and introduced in a hoarse voice:
"Guest, this is a disciple that Yunluo Temple has cultivated since childhood. He has been abandoned due to internal disputes. If you are interested, you can choose any one according to the rules of Yinyulou for 1,000 taels of gold per person."
Su Yuan's face was covered with a white fox mask, so her expression could not be seen. Upon hearing this, she glanced indifferently into the cage and said in a low voice:
"Oh - if they have been training him since childhood, then they must have some means of controlling him. If I buy him back, won't there be hidden dangers?"
The ghost-faced woman listened to Su Yuan's detailed questions and guessed that she must want to buy it. She smiled and explained patiently:
"We will clean up the goods after the customer buys them. However...if you die the next moment after you confirm taking over, I will not be responsible for this situation."
Su Yuan nodded, not minding the dirt around him or the strong smell of blood in the air.
He moved closer to take a closer look at the bloody man in the cage with dull eyes, and spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, but ensuring that they could hear him, and spoke word by word:
"Do any of you still want to live? I need some guards to protect the house. If anyone is willing to come with me, please let me know."
As soon as she finished speaking, the row of bloody people hanging still had dull eyes, looking like they were waiting to die, as if they had never heard what Su Yuan said.
There was a pause.
Seeing no one responded, Su Yuan sighed softly, turned around and prepared to leave.
A person whose face was stuck together with blood and hair, and whose features could not be seen clearly, but whose voice was that of a woman, moved her lips slightly, and said in a trembling voice as thin as a mosquito:
"You're buying us back, no, not as killers, but only as guards?"
Su Yuan paused as he raised his foot. He slowly turned around and looked at the woman who had just spoken. He said "hmm" lightly, and said in a casual but meaningful tone:
"Of course, but being a guard is not without danger. I can only say that you can live in the open from now on and won't gamble with your lives anymore."
After hearing this, the woman nodded her jaw almost imperceptibly, panting, gently shaking the chains that bound her limbs, and raised her voice with a tone of relief:
"Unchain me, I am willing to go with this buyer. Sisters, don't wait to die here. This customer wants us to be ordinary guards."
"We have been fighting for half of our lives, just to escape from the dark Yunluo Palace and get rid of our identities as assassins. Now the opportunity has come, if not now, when?"
After her reminder, the other Blood-Clothed Killers woke up from their numbness, looked at Su Yuan with hope in their eyes, and nodded one by one to leave with Su Yuan.
Seeing this, Su Yuan turned around, looked at the ghost-faced woman calmly, and asked in a low voice:
"How many people are in the cage?"
The ghost-faced woman chuckled and replied:
"There are thirty-four people in total, one man and the rest are women. According to your request, if you want all of them, you will need to pay thirty-four thousand taels of gold."
Su Yuan took out a purple jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to the ghost-faced woman, then turned around and walked back, saying:
"After the poison is removed, remember to change the person into clean clothes and send him to the top floor. I will pay the gold in full in one lump sum."
The ghost-faced woman behind him heard this, looked at the purple jade pendant in her hand, nodded with relief and said:
"Okay, I'll send it up in a moment."
After Su Yuan bought the guards, he took Ji Shian and his sister on a tour of the entire Yin City, but ended up returning to the top floor room empty-handed.
It’s not that she is stingy and doesn’t want to buy it.
But...
The rare treasures she has looted recently can be used to open more than ten hidden markets, okay?
The main focus is on completeness.
Thinking of this, Su Yuan sighed.
Looks like I'll need to clean it out next time.
Mainly the treasures of Banshishan and the Zhu family.
It’s better not to take out things like Yin Zhenghong, Xu Yiyu and the Ye family in Luocheng.
Yinyu Tower is Ji Shian’s property. King Nanyou was arresting criminals these days and found that the properties of three families were missing. It was impossible for him not to investigate.
If we are discovered, it will be bad!
opposite.
Ji Shian saw Su Yuan sighing, and finally took the opportunity to ask what he had been holding back all the way:
"Why are you sighing? Are you regretting spending so much money to buy those Blood Robe Guards? Tsk tsk, if you need guards, there are plenty of them in the market. Why waste your money?"
Su Yuan tapped the tabletop casually with his fingertips, making a scattered sound, and took the opportunity to ask:
"It's always better to have good martial arts skills. I have already bought these thirty or so people, but they have special identities after all. Do you have a way to register their household registration?"
After hearing this, Ji Shian sighed and replied:
"Yes, you give each of them a name and give me the list. Huachen Academy will be closed in two days, and I will send it to your house."
After Su Yuan nodded and said thank you, he stood up and walked slowly to the table beside him. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and asked Ji Qiubai to grind the ink.
He picked up the pen to write down thirty-four names with the surname Su, and just as he let the paper dry, there was a knock on the door. Su Yuan looked over and said, "Come in."
The door was slowly opened from the outside, and the woman wearing the ghost mask walked in quickly with a group of people behind her and said to Su Yuan:
"Sir, this is the one you bought from, please check the goods."
