An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

The clouds in the sky dissipated, the moon came out, and the bright moonlight illuminated the snow-white field.

The two sat and stood, and the faint words drifted with the wind. The slightly cold weather made them wrap their cotton clothes tightly. Lu Wenyu's words were like the light from the lighthouse on the seashore, guiding Zhao Jue to think.

"Extreme, extreme? Breakthrough..." Zhao Jue murmured softly, and there seemed to be a clear light flowing between his drooping eyebrows.

Lu Wenyu, who was sitting on the ground opposite, stroked the ground of the field by himself, not disturbing Zhao Jue's thinking, but his drooping eyes could not hide his appreciation.

After a moment, Zhao Jue raised his head, and the clarity between his eyes had returned to calm. Looking at Lu Wenyu who was sitting cross-legged, he bowed his hands and made a formal salute, "Fifth Master, I will never forget your kindness in saving my life and clearing my doubts. I can't help you much, and I can't beat anyone you can't beat. How about this, I won't charge you money next time and help you kill someone for free."

"Next time? When is the next time?"

"Next time, definitely next time!" Zhao said indifferently, smiling cunningly, with shrewd eyes.

How can I not charge money? I was just being polite, but you are really rude and asked such a question. I said next time, so it must be next time! What's the difference between a person living without money and dying?

"So should I take it or not?" Lu Wenyu shook his head in confusion. This kid seemed to be beating around the bush, but there was nothing wrong with it.

"Ah, it doesn't matter. If I don't take it, will you still not give it to me? Next time." Zhao smiled, and his slippery appearance made him look like a miser.

How could Lu Wenyu not understand what was said? He immediately stood up with his eyes wide open, "Stingy! I don't believe that you were not a miser in your previous life. It's just a few dollars. Do you value it more than your life? I saved your life!" "What are you saying? It's better to die without money. Besides, you are greedy for the money you sell your life for?" Seeing Lu Wenyu's indignation, Zhao Jue spoke as a matter of course. After hearing what Zhao Jue said, Lu Wenyu's face fell instantly. "Stingy" is a compliment to him. How can he be stingy? This kid is so greedy that he wants to scrape off the paint of the golden Buddha. How can he love money like his life? Money is his life! If Zhao Jue knew what Lu Wenyu was thinking, he would definitely refute it fiercely. What does money mean? Money is more important than life! It was getting late. Lu Wenyu didn't want to argue with Zhao Jue anymore. He just wanted to go home and sleep, for fear of being led astray by this kid. Waving his hand and walking out, "Go back and have a rest. Alas, I don't know what to say to you..."

"Don't be on duty tomorrow. I'll go to Zhaoyu to find you the day after tomorrow. If there's anything that worries you... just go and see. I don't know if you can..."

Lu Wenyu stopped talking before he finished. He sighed with a bit of melancholy, ignored Zhao Jue behind him, and walked out of the training ground.

Zhao Jue was the only one left on the training ground. Under the moonlight, Zhao Jue looked up and smiled. He was neither sad nor happy, and had no emotions at all. Since I entered this line of work, I have thought about this day, whether I will live or die.

As for the things that worry me, Zhao Jue thought about it and it seemed that there was really nothing. He simply ignored these things and walked to the yard with his hands behind his back. The world is big, but sleeping is the biggest.

Back to the yard, after washing up, he lay down on the bed and pretended to be a corpse for a day. Li Yizheng was not there, and he didn't even want to go to Nuanxiang Pavilion. Instead, he became more and more addicted to sleep.

I slept for most of the day, not even eating lunch. I reluctantly left the quilt in the afternoon, drank hot tea, and sank my consciousness into the space. I was relieved after I finished all the rules.

I went out to the restaurant to eat after half of the Youshi. When I filled my stomach and returned to the yard, it was already dark. In late autumn and early winter, the days are short, and the sun rises late, sometimes even at Chenshi. It gets dark very early. If you don’t hang a lantern after half of the Youshi, you can’t even see the door.

But Zhao wanted this effect. Tonight, he had to load the cannon and plug in the fuse. It was dark to avoid being seen. He came to the backyard, hung two lanterns next to the distant wall, and took out a cannon from the space by the firelight and put it on the ground. He skillfully used a pole to clean the barrel, filled it with twice the amount of gunpowder than usual, pressed it tightly and put in the shell, and squatted in front of the muzzle to think carefully about whether there were any problems with the steps.

After confirming that everything was correct, he plugged in the fuse and took it back to the space and replaced it with the next one. Following the procedure, after more than half an hour, the last cannon was retracted into space. The sixteen cannons were loaded one by one, all with fuses inserted, waiting to be fired.

After completing the entire loading process, Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and took the gunpowder and shells on the ground back into space before picking up the teacup on the table.

Sitting comfortably and drinking tea, Zhao blew out the candle with the teacup when the tea was finished, and looked up at the sky. The dark clouds rolled, and there was no moon at all. It looked like the first snow was about to fall. Ignoring all this, I returned to the room and lit the stove. After a while, the room became warm, and Zhao took off his shoes and got into the quilt.

Early the next morning, Zhao was woken up by the cold. Zhaocai, who was next to the pillow, wanted to get into the quilt, but unfortunately the quilt was not very warm. He endured the cold and got out of bed and lit the stove, and the room was a little heated.

But it was easy to wake up but hard to fall asleep. Between going up and down, Zhao could no longer fall asleep, and could only lie down and play with the dog, which made Zhaocai restless. I can't sleep, and you still want to sleep?

Since he couldn't sleep, he simply stopped wasting time and got up to wash up while yawning. As expected, it snowed, and it was not until half past the hour of dawn that Zhao wrapped himself in a thick cotton coat and slowly walked towards Zhaoyu.

Walking into the duty room, it was the same as before. A group of people were bored and chatting. When they saw Zhao Jue coming in, they bowed and greeted him one after another. After Zhao Jue responded one by one, he sat in his seat, drank tea and waited for Lu Wenyu.

Fortunately, Lu Wenyu didn't let Zhao Jue wait for a whole day this time. Shen Shichu appeared in the duty room, greeted everyone, and tilted his head to Zhao Jue, "Come with me."

The two left Zhaoyu and walked towards the Jinyiwei Yamen. On the way, Lu Wenyu stepped on the snow with his hands behind his back, and joked with a smile, "Didn't you go to see the people or things you were worried about?"

"I'm an orphan, how can I be worried about anything? You can't let me go to Bianzhou, right?" Zhao Jue was in a good mood, looking around the snow scene in the capital with interest, and chatting with Lu Wenyu from time to time.

"Don't go to Nuanxiang Pavilion? Maybe there will be no chance in the future." Lu Wenyu joked.

Zhao's face changed when he heard this, "Pfft, don't say depressing words, good luck."

While the two were joking, the Jinyiwei Yamen was already in front of them, and the errand flag pushed the door open for them. In the yard, nine people heard the door open and turned their heads to look at the door.

Lu Wenyu and Zhao stopped in front of the yard and looked around. After counting the number of people, Lu Wenyu spoke expressionlessly.

"It seems that everyone is here, good news!"
