An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Looking at the seven bright words "Jinyiwei Command Assistant" on the waist badge in front of him, the middle-aged man's legs trembled, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he swallowed his saliva in fear.

The young man behind him was still shouting, "You dare to commit armed crimes, and you want to leave without paying tens of thousands of taels? You're dreaming!"

"Pa"

Turning around and slapping his own son with his backhand, the middle-aged man shouted hoarsely: "Shut your dog mouth!"

The young man fell to the ground, covering his swollen cheek and looking up, crying and complaining in disbelief: "Dad, I'm your son, why are you so stubborn and not helping your own son but helping an outsider?"

Holding the middle-aged man who wanted to speak, Zhao said calmly: "Don't fight if you don't want to. I'm not a petty person who cares about every penny, and I don't intend to cause trouble for you, just letting you know. Well, I have official business to attend to, so I'll leave first."

After speaking, he picked up the long knife on the ground, jumped onto the roof and floated away, chasing in the direction of the true qi fluctuations.

After Zhao Jue walked away, the middle-aged man patted his chest, let out a long breath, leaned down to help his son up, patted his shoulder, and explained bitterly: "Son, do you know what is engraved on that waist badge? Ah?"

"Jinyiwei Commander!"

Hearing his father's words, the young man's legs and feet became weak and he almost couldn't stand. Fortunately, the housekeeper was quick-witted and quickly stepped forward to help his young master steady.

"My dear son, in the future, please watch your mouth more. This time we are lucky, but next time... you can't say for sure."

The young man nodded carefully, slowly put down his hand covering his face, and whispered: "Dad, I, I know."

"It's good to know!" The middle-aged man sighed.

He shook his head and walked under the eaves with his hands behind his back. His steps were a little bumpy and crooked, obviously scared. Seeing this, the young man hurried forward to support his father, and the two walked into the house with their heads down, without saying anything.

Zhao did not see this scene of loving father and filial son, but even if he saw it, he would not say anything. People are like this, they will not learn to shut up unless they are slapped.

At this time, Zhao was running up and down, accelerating to the outside of the city. I don’t know if Zhuque is not good enough or the old woman is too fast, anyway, in the perception, the direction of the true energy fluctuation is outside the city.

He ran in the rain for a while, jumped over the city wall and landed in the mud outside the city, and ran for a distance before seeing the hazy and confused red.

He smiled and sped up to the red direction, the true energy continued to rise, the speed increased further, and his feet lightly touched the treetops and fell to the ground.

A few steps away, Zhuque, dressed in red, was holding a person and standing leisurely under the tree. Seeing Zhao Jue coming, she waved her hand and said hello, complaining: "I still have to do it in the end, why not just let me do it from the beginning, I promise to do it beautifully for you."

"Well, there are fools disturbing, and I don't want to kill innocent people." Zhao Jue smiled and explained.

Pointing to the old woman in her hand, she asked: "Dead? You acted too quickly!"

"But I didn't kill her, she committed suicide."

Committed suicide? Zhao Jue frowned and took the old woman's body from Zhuque. I saw that her face was dark blue, blood was flowing out of her seven orifices, her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was slightly open. It was obvious that she died of poison.

There was no pulse, but the body was still warm, obviously not long after death.

He squinted and stared at the old woman, really couldn't understand why she wanted to commit suicide. Even if the pursuer behind her was a small master, it was not completely impossible to survive. Even if the chance was small, there was no need to commit suicide!

Even if she struggled!

After thinking about it, I really can't figure it out. I can only blame it on the different ways of thinking and different psychological tolerance of each person.

Although it feels quite strange, Zhao Jue doesn't want to pursue too much. Business is business. The most important thing is to settle the money and goods. As for the inner reasons, it doesn't matter!

As long as it doesn't involve himself, he doesn't care and doesn't want to care. The same sentence: It's none of my business.

Seeing Zhao Jue's face constantly changing, Zhuque seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly said: "It seems that she was mumbling something before she committed suicide."

"Ah? Last words?" Zhao Jue asked.

"That's not it." Zhuque lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said affirmatively: "What she muttered before she died was: So your surname is Liu! Repeated this sentence over and over again until she died."

Ah? What kind of last words are these? Zhao Jue raised his eyebrows and shrugged, really unable to understand what she was saying.

He tilted his head and teased Zhuque: "Your last name is Liu?"

"I don't believe it. It's not your last name, is it? Or is your mother's last name Liu?" Zhuque folded his hands and smiled, asking knowingly.

Zhao then asked cheerfully: "My last name is Zhao, Lu Wenyu is my uncle, what do you say my mother's last name is, really."

After he finished speaking, he didn't want to joke anymore, swung his knife to cut off the old woman's face, took off the black cloth covering her face and wrapped it.

"Let's go, I don't want to get wet outside in the rain."

"Okay."

...

On the barren mountain, a tall and thin man led the horse and walked down the mountain slowly.

The man walked slowly and the speed was not fast. Sometimes he stopped and sat on the ground, admiring the thousands of gullies and ridges in the distance and the green mountain scenery.

"Alas, there is nothing but yellow sand in Hexi. How can there be such a scene." The man clapped his hands and sighed.

He stayed for more than half an hour before leading the horse and continuing on his way. This place is located in Annan, sparsely populated, with continuous valleys and rivers rushing through it, which is very spectacular.

The man hurried along, occasionally looking up at the sky, then looking around to determine the direction. He could not walk far and had to stop for a while.

"Hey, why are there so many mountains in this place? I've been walking for two days, and there are still mountains."

The tall and thin man frowned and looked miserable. He had been in the mountains for two days and thought there were only one or two mountains that he could easily climb over. Unexpectedly, there was a river behind the mountain and mountains behind the river.

"Oh, I have to sleep in the wilderness again."

He shook his head and walked forward with his hands behind his back. Sure enough, after climbing over the mountain, there was a river in sight, and not far behind the river were mountains.

Fortunately, he saw a boat on the river from a distance this time, which made him overjoyed. He hurriedly chased along the shore, waving and shouting as he ran.

"Boatman, boatman, stop, stop."

The river was surging, and the sound of splashing water was endless, covering up many sounds. When the boat stopped at the shore, he didn't know how far he had run.

However, the tall and thin man didn't mind. He was still full of joy. He ran over panting and said hurriedly: "Boatman, it's a good thing you have sharp ears, otherwise I would have run to death."

There was an old man with his granddaughter on the boat. Seeing the tall and thin man panting, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

The old man apologized: "Little brother, the waves are too loud, and I am old and can't hear clearly. If my granddaughter hadn't reminded me, I would have thought it was a bird calling."

"Hahaha." The man also laughed and hurriedly bowed his hands to thank: "Thank you very much, girl."

"You really helped me a lot!"
