The Brown Belt Killers of the Little Banner Battalion did not return to Jinpeng Fort immediately, but stayed in the South City for another period of time, basically with nothing to do, and everyone was calculating how many people they had killed in this operation and how much credit they had made, which would determine who was eligible to become a killer at the end of the month.

The thirteenth birthday of the Shangguan twins is October 29, and on this day, the two of them each select ten teenagers to form their own team of killers, and the selected ones will be promoted from brown belt killers to official killers.

However, this operation ended too quickly, many people didn't even have a chance to draw their swords, let alone make meritorious contributions, this is all "blamed" Huan Nu, it was he who exposed the conspiracy of the Great Wilderness Gate, which led to the rapid rout of the enemy, and he himself killed four people, leaving no chance for others.

Gu Shenwei found himself in isolation again, except for a few former members of the "Arm Slave Gang" who were loyal to him, in the eyes of most people, he became a bad luck star who loved to steal the limelight, Huan Nu could tell the information to Yu Gongzi and let the entire Xiaoqi battalion share the credit, but he didn't, but ran back to Shibao and directly found Shigongzi.

Many people know that Huan Nu and Shangguan Yu are not in harmony, but few people know that the hatred between the two has reached the level of life and death.

Shangguan Yushi was more dissatisfied than anyone else, Huan Nu actually asked the tenth prince for credit, which was tantamount to stabbing her in the back, but she didn't dare to act rashly now, she just refused to see him until she returned to Jinpeng Castle, and Gu Shenwei didn't touch the rain boy a few times.

In the first few days, Gu Shenwei tried to keep a low profile as much as possible, and spent most of his thoughts on the lotus girl.

The lotus girl did not suffer much, but the influence of the "Theory of Breaking Attachment" to weaken the murderous intent has not been eliminated, which greatly affects her knife skills.

She neither killed nor made meritorious service in the operation, and basically lost the possibility of becoming an official killer at the end of the month, and if her martial arts decline again, it will be difficult to come out in the future.

They tried many methods, reciting the scriptures upside down, reciting the scriptures indiscriminately, and even secretly assassinated a new swordsman on the edge of the city, but to no avail, although the lotus girl could still kill, but the knife was obviously slow.

Based on his own experience, Gu Shenwei felt that only by waiting for a real life-and-death crisis could the Dutch girl break through the obstacles and restore her murderous intent with her own strength.

Regarding Kang Wenhui's "Book of No Dao", the Dutch girl had never heard of it, and the two decided not to mention it to anyone again, in case the "Book of No Dao" was a secret deliberately hidden by Shibao, it would be extremely unwise to ask around.

In the last leisurely days in Nancheng, Tie Hanfeng found a job for his apprentice.

Gu Shenwei had already felt that his master's attitude had changed a lot in the recent period, except for the assassination of Nie Qing's family, he had hardly lost his temper again, so he thought that the time had come for him to "repay his kindness", with his merits, he would definitely become an official killer in a few days, which meant that he was out of Master's control, and the iron cripple had to pick the fruit at the best time.

He guessed right.

This was a simple task, the master and apprentice worked together to carry out a robbery, and for this robbery, Tie Hanfeng had been preparing for almost ten years.

It was ten years ago that Tie Hanfeng suddenly realized that the killer career was meaningless, saying that he did not seek fame or profit, but every assassination operation has someone to gain fame and fortune, but it has nothing to do with the killers, and since then he has secretly made up his mind to live well and die in Biyu North City.

Compared with the oath made by ordinary killers such as "how many people to kill", Tie Hanfeng's wish seems vulgar, but it is more difficult to achieve, enjoying the safety of Biyu North City is not without a price, the price is not small, without more than 100,000 taels of silver, he can't afford the high cost of that kind of life at all.

The killer can't earn so much silver, and Tie Hanfeng doesn't want to endure poverty and accumulate little by little, drink and sleep with women, he doesn't want to quit either, and he can't rob the rich, although there are many rich people in Biyu City, each of them has a backer, Tie Hanfeng can't afford to provoke it, and the silver he robbed can't be spent, so he designed a time-consuming but extremely safe way to make money.

He is the half-hood of Nancheng's bodyguard shop, introducing reliable swordsmen to many wealthy businessmen, among whom there are several regular customers, the most stable one is named Zhou Lan, known as Zhou Baozi.

Zhou Baozi is the big cover of the rice noodle shop, that is, he once entrusted Tie Hanfeng's master and apprentice to kill the swordsman Nie Qing.

Zhou Baozi's family history is closely related to Tie Hanfeng, it was Tie Hanfeng who introduced the original noodle shop owner to the big hoods with backgrounds in the city, pushed him to climb to the top step by step, and controlled the rice noodle shop on a street.

Zhou Baozi is ambitious, and he is also smart, and after climbing to a certain height with the help of Tie Hanfeng's strength, he began to be self-reliant, making a lot of money while throwing a lot of money, and getting to know more powerful people, so as to consolidate his position, and the identities of these people have exceeded the scope of Tie Cripple's communication.

But the friendship between the two did not weaken because of this, and in terms of personal safety, Zhou Baozi continued to trust and rely on Tie Hanfeng.

Two or three years ago, Tie Hanfeng began to instill a concept in Zhou Baozi: the size of the cover in Biyu City is rare to have a good death, and if you should stop it, you have to stop it and return to your hometown, but don't show your wealth, wealth will cause disaster, this is a clear statement through the ages.

Zhou Baozi had accumulated a lot of silver, and he had long been worried, and then he was imperceptibly influenced by Tie Hanfeng, and he was even more uneasy, so he came up with a way to "not show his wealth".

Zhou Baozi suddenly became an old man who made a lot of money, and only socialized with the most expensive and famous prostitutes, throwing out countless amounts of money, and people who knew him said that according to this way, Zhou Baozi would lose all his money sooner or later.

Zhou Baozi was not stupid, he didn't let Tie Hanfeng participate in the process of transferring property, Tie Hanfeng pretended not to know, and even persuaded him not to waste too much money on women.

After ten years of careful cultivation, Zhou Baozi finally grew up, and after spending the last large fortune on the surface, he decided to transfer the business to someone else in exchange for a sum of silver to return to his hometown for retirement, in the eyes of everyone, this is another commonplace failure story in Nancheng.

Only Tie Hanfeng knew that there were countless gold and silver treasures hidden in the rags of Zhou Bag.

"At least 200,000 taels!" the iron cripple said excitedly to his apprentice, "enough for Lao Tzu to live comfortably to death, TMD, less than the top, more than the bottom, and the rest of his life does not need to use the knife." ”

As for Zhou Baozi's method of transferring property, Tie Hanfeng also revealed it to his apprentice, and repeatedly reminded him that this was a secret that only a very few people knew.

The way is **, and she is the most expensive prostitute, "Do you remember Xiao Fengchai?" lives next door to Xu Yanwei, she is the hottest and most expensive woman in Liuren Lane, but she is not only a prostitute, but also has other ways to make money, that is, to hide wealth for the rich. You give her the money in public, so that everyone can see it, and she will secretly return it to you, leaving only a tenth of the profit. Her backer is Jinpeng Castle, you don't need to know who it is, anyway, she never worries about safety, and no one dares to be tempted by how much silver she takes. Hehe, Zhou Baozi thought I didn't know this secret, but in fact, as soon as he entered Xiao Fengchai's building, Lao Tzu knew what he was going to do. ”

Now that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and tomorrow Zhou Baozi will leave the city "gloomily" and return to his hometown in Shule Country, Tie Hanfeng decided to do it.

This robbery is not very difficult, since Zhou Baozi left as a poor man, he did not dare to hire expensive bodyguards, let alone plant the Jinpeng flag.

But he still can't do it in the territory of Jinpeng Castle, in that case, Tie Hanfeng will have to hand over half of the share, and the loss will be huge, and it can't be too late, the news of the security will leak and be taken by a certain gang of bandits.

"Biyu City is a five-day walk to the west, and it only takes two days to get a fast horse, and there is a T-shaped intersection, and the north-south road is the western boundary of Jinpeng Castle. Let's do it there, you set off first, clean up the area around Luxi, I heard that it has not been peaceful over there in the past two years, don't let the bandits with no name and no surname spoil Lao Tzu's big thing. I have to follow that old villain and send him all the way to the border, so as not to be robbed in advance, it is said that Xiao Fengchai is very strict, but he can't believe it all. ”

This is the ultimate purpose of Tie Hanfeng's acceptance of apprentices more than a year ago, he needs a helper, and the reward that this helper asks for is better not too much.

Gu Shenwei had no way to ask for anything in return, Tie Hanfeng had taught him martial arts, saved his life, and opened a brothel in his name, he was very happy to have the opportunity to settle the debt at once, in fact, Tie Hanfeng's request seemed to him to be insignificant.

"There are not many people who don't pay attention to gold and silver, you are one. This is Tie Hanfeng's comment to his apprentice, and there is also a certain expectation in the process, "Master will not forget you, I will hand over all the work to you, you can prepare early, and also raise a Zhou bag, so that you don't have to work hard like me for so many years, and retire when it's time to retire." ”

Gu Shenwei's only way to retire was death, he didn't say this, but obediently set off in advance to clear the road ahead, as for Shangguan Yushi's side, she didn't see Huan Nu at all, and Gu Shenwei had no intention of asking for her permission.

The T-junction mentioned in Tie Hanfeng's mouth, Gu Shenwei was deeply impressed, it was very close to his original home, and he was quick to get started, but it was only half a day's journey that he became a slave and took the first step into Jinpeng Castle.

Zhou Baozi set off the next day, and hired a cheap ox cart, the speed of travel was relatively slow, Gu Shenwei was almost three or four days ahead, he had enough time to investigate the valleys and wilderness within a radius of dozens of miles, and really found a group of bandits, there were not many people, only a dozen or so people, and they left after one night, Gu Shenwei did not move.

Then he couldn't resist the impulse in his heart and rode back to the ruins of Gu's manor.

The village below the hill was empty, and not a single family remained.

The manor on the hill has been swallowed up by barren grass, and in just two years, there are almost no traces of the original fire, and the ruined walls are crawling with plants, and occasionally insects and snakes are infested.

There was no shadow of Gu Shenwei in his memory, he stood in the wild grass, looking for the most vivid emotions of the year, such as family affection, laughter, and grief, but he found nothing, and he was surprised to find that even the hatred in his heart had become weaker.

All he has left is the murderous **.
