An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Zhao had no idea what happened after Lu Wenyu entered the palace. After drinking tea easily all night, Zhao went back to sleep without saying a word.

Needless to say, Zhao didn't like the life of working all night every day. When there is no business, you should just lie back and enjoy life, otherwise you will become a cow and a horse?

Fortunately, nothing happened after tonight, and Zhao returned to the lying-down life he had dreamed of. At midnight in the morning, Shen Shi came out of Zhao Prison, went to the restaurant, carried the food box back to the yard, and went to Nuanxiang Pavilion from time to time.

For Zhao Jiu, this kind of life is a good life. It's just that there isn't much business, which makes Zhao a little dissatisfied. If there is another business worth a thousand taels a month, that will be the best life.

The days passed almost in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, nearly ten days had passed since the assassination in Nuanxiang Pavilion, and Jin Yiwei was no longer so easy to see on the streets. It seemed that everything had passed, and the situation in the capital that had been tense for several days returned to calm after ten or eight days of buffering.

Time is walking leisurely, and autumn is coming to an end. The weather is getting colder and colder, and there is only one snow left before winter.

Zhao got up from the bed at the beginning of Chenshi. As soon as he opened the door, there was a biting cold wind. After putting on cotton clothes, he felt a little more comfortable. After washing, Zhao walked to Zhao Prison with his hands behind his back. When he walked into the duty room, Lu Wenyu was already sitting in the duty room waiting.

"Muzhi, are you changing into cotton clothes so soon?" Lu Wenyu seemed to be in a good mood and walked in when he saw Zhao, still thinking of teasing.

Although he was startled by Lu Wenyu's voice, Zhao quickly adjusted himself. After closing the door and looking around but not seeing Yu Jielin, he immediately beamed with joy. This business is coming. He smiled and teased, "Fifth Master, aren't you being considerate? You can't rely on clothes to keep warm when the weather gets cold."

"You haven't been considerate yet. You haven't gone to Nuanxiang Pavilion less often, have you? What? Miss Nuanxiang Pavilion?" He picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea. When Lu Wenyu heard Zhao's joking words, he put down the teacup with a smile and teased.

"The girl is not considerate..."

"Oh?" Lu Wenyu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "How can a girl be considerate if she isn't considerate, isn't she?"

After finding a chair and sitting down, Zhao smacked his lips and rubbed his three fingers together gently, "Although this thing is cold and hard, at this critical moment, it must be considerate."

Lu Wenyu, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost spat out the tea in his mouth when he heard Zhao's words with obvious intentions and Zhao's look of rubbing his fingers as if his eyes were wide open. After holding it in for a while, he calmed down and patted his chest to catch his breath.

"You have a unique interest. I came here today and I have a big deal. I don't know if you are interested."

"Oh?" Zhao became interested, looked at Lu Wenyu with stern eyes, thought for a moment and said cautiously, "Let's talk about it, don't be like Wang Jiwei. I just want to make money, not my life!"

Lu Wenyu smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and said with a smile, "It will definitely not be more than one grade this time, and besides, the price is not low!"

If you are below Grandmaster, it will be easy to handle. Money makes things easier. Isn’t this the best business? Almost instantly, Zhao sat up straight and said, "Fifth Master, you must let me do this kind of thing. What I like most is to support the younger generations and challenge myself."

"Isn't it too forced?" Lu Wenyu asked knowingly, but deliberately asked back.

Zhao hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, you don't know my character. I am diligent, conscientious, hard-working and don't complain. Leave it to me, don't worry."

"Okay, if you say that, I'm embarrassed even if I don't let you go." Lu Wenyu nodded, with a hint of slyness in his eyes.

Perhaps it was the cunning in Lu Wenyu's eyes, or maybe it was because the line was disconnected and suddenly connected, Zhao regained the high ground with his IQ and did not pick up Lu Wenyu's topic. Instead, he cautiously asked, "Tell me what it is first and who to kill? Let's talk about it first." Ah, I can't take the enemy general's head among all the troops."

Lu Wenyu sat up straight, put down his tea cup, and said with a serious expression, "You know the oath not to fight, right?"

"Know."

"It's good to know." Lu Wenyu paused and continued, "The Hu people broke their oath not to fight and took the lead in launching an attack and sending dead soldiers to Beijing to assassinate..."

Zhao interrupted, "I know all this, let's just get to the point!"

Interrupted by Zhao, Lu Wenyu frowned and said, "Don't be impatient. We definitely don't agree with the Hu people tearing up the oath of no war. Let's simply set up a life and death arena according to the rules to decide whether the oath of no war should be continued."

"Idiot! I'm a killer, and I never do anything fair and aboveboard. I'm good at assassinating people in secret, but I can't do it with open swords and guns in the ring! Fifth Master, please find another way." After saying this, Zhao stood up and walked out.

"Look at you, you're in a hurry."

"I haven't mentioned the rules yet. How do you know you can't do it? Besides, with four thousand taels per head, I think you can really do it..."

Four thousand taels! Zhao only captured this key information from his words, but it was enough. He hurriedly sat back on the chair, "Tell me, tell me, what are the rules?"

"We set up an arena at Longxing Mountain in the Xing'an Mountains. Daqi and Hu people sent out ten people each to catch and fight each other. The one with more people alive wins." Lu Wenyu said calmly.

"Idiots, idiots, they are all idiots! They are simply the best idiots among idiots! As long as you kill all ten people on the opposite side on the road, wouldn't it mean that you don't even need to fight and win directly? Don't the barbarians have no brains and we don't have any brains either? The means are not important, what is important is the result! "Zhao was a little unbelievable, and it was just a mess in the ring.

Lu Wenyu picked up the teacup sideways, turned his head and looked at Zhao Jue sinisterly, and said softly, "You don't think that you are the only one who has this idea, do you? Do you really think that those officials who passed the imperial examination in the court don't even have brains? Boy, don't think you are too smart. Those who have fought in the officialdom for many years are much smarter than you! Not to mention assassinations along the way, there are even those who send troops to intervene in the fight between warriors. Boy, you are right, the means are not important, the result is important..."

"The so-called arena is actually an assassination between the two sides without using off-field means. Otherwise, can this small arena decide such a big thing as the oath of non-war? Boy, you still don't understand what it means to fight. Fighting is to do whatever it takes!"

The more Zhao listened, the more shocked he became. He widened his eyes in shock. Looking at Lu Wenyu's sinister expression, he couldn't help but sigh that he was too shallow and underestimated people's wisdom. He calmed down the surprise in his heart, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I've learned a lesson." Zhao Jue bowed to Lu Wenyu.

"There were seven such arenas in the previous dynasty. Guess how many times there were open fights in the arena." Lu Wenyu seemed not to see the change in Zhao Jue's expression, and asked with interest.

"Twice?" Zhao Jue asked uncertainly.

"Guess again."

"Once?" Zhao Jue personally believed that no matter how many assassinations, there would still be a failure, although he himself did not believe this idea.

Lu Wenyu put down the teacup, and the corners of his mouth raised as if laughing at Zhao Jue's naivety.

"Oh, once? Not even once!"
