Chapter 41

In the time of Xu, the earth is dim and everything is hazy.

The cold wind howled and the raindrops continued.

Gu Yan wears a bamboo hat and hides a knife at his waist, walking in the dark streets.

The chill penetrated his hat and clothes and licked his skin.

Most of the neighbors on both sides of the street had already rested. Only some of the more energetic ones could still hear some violent breathing and banging sounds under Gu Yan's keen perception.

Walking to the entrance of Kitamachi, the lanterns hanging under some shops were constantly blowing in the wind.

But the dim light finally gave the dark night some more color, making people want to get closer.

"A cold rainy night, a murderous night."

The left hand caressed the waist knife.

The cold texture makes Gu Yan feel at ease.

Before coming out, he wiped the blade repeatedly with lard.

In this way, it can effectively reduce adhesion when cutting flesh and blood.

He comes with murderous intent!

Outside the flower building, inside the gallery pavilion.

Three powerful government officials were drinking shochu and eating roast chicken. There was an empty bowl on the side facing the entrance. It seemed that someone was missing.

Behind them is the main courtyard of the flower building, which is brightly lit, with the faint sound of pipa playing, the gentle sound of guzheng, and occasionally the accompaniment of a beautiful woman playing a flute.

The sound of wind and rain, the sound of pipa, and the singing of beautiful women on guzheng, jade and flute.

It would have been a treat if they weren't outside in the cold now.

"Damn it, this damn weather has caused us to be exposed to wind and rain here, so that little kid couldn't have run away."

"It would be better if he ran away. There are a lot of people watching his house. If he runs away, we don't even need to take action, hehe."

The government officials on the left and right clinked their wine bowls, chatting and laughing.

The other man sitting in the back did not speak and was eating seriously.

He tore off a chicken leg and was about to stuff it into his mouth.

Sudden.

Lightning pierced the night sky, illuminating the ground for a moment.

The man looked blankly behind his companion on the left, his hand holding the drumstick froze.

At some point, a man wearing a bamboo hat stood quietly outside the pavilion in the blind spot, watching them silently.

"Dazhu, what are you looking at? Haha, is there a beauty behind me?"

A yamen servant noticed that his companion was looking behind him blankly, laughed, and pointed back with his hand.

As a result, a cold and wet feeling came from his fingers.

The man's expression was frozen.

There is really someone behind him!

at this time.

Zhengzhengzheng~

In the flower building, a low and euphemistic guzheng sound came from!

Bang!

The long sword was unsheathed, and the sound of harmony was solemn.

A flash of white light cuts through countless raindrops and shines in the pavilion.

The yamen sitting opposite was looking up to swallow his drink when he felt liquid splashing into the bowl, even on his head and face.

He thought it was rain and didn't care. He drank the remaining wine in the bowl and wiped his face: "Fuck, it's almost winter, and it keeps raining. That little brat won't be able to come today."

However, no one responded to him except for the vocals from the flower building behind him.

Instead, more liquid splashed onto him.

He hadn't noticed anything unusual yet and kept wiping his face: "Is this broken pavilion leaking? There is so much rain and it's so sticky that I can't even open my eyes."

Snap.

The sound of wet footsteps came.

"coming."

An indifferent voice sounded in front of him.

next moment.

The officer who wiped his face felt a chill on his neck, and a feeling of weightlessness came to his head: "Why do I feel like I'm flying?"

This was his last consciousness.

Snapped!

The round head hit the puddle outside, splashing water droplets.

Gu Yan stretched out his waist knife.

Ding ding ding~

Raindrops splashed against the blade, making a continuous crisp sound, like a song of resentment after death.

Clear raindrops dripped across the blade, turning into dark red and dripping out.

Of the three people, only the yamen servant sitting in the back was left.

He still maintained the posture of grabbing the chicken legs and watched as Gu Yan cut the throats of his two companions and beheaded them.

He wants to struggle!

Want to fight back!

I want to shout regardless!

However, he found that he could not control his body at this time.

For the first time, he knew that when a person's fear reaches its limit, his whole body will become numb, his mind will become numb, his body will lose control in an instant, and he will not even be able to scream.

When Gu Yan took the knife back, it was as clean as new.

The cold blade was placed on the neck of the last yamen servant, finally waking him up: "Spare my life, spare my life!"

His teeth kept clashing and his tongue curled, making it very difficult to say two words.

"Don't be afraid, cooperate with me, and I will give you a better choice. Tell me, what other options do you have?"

They were just a few yamen veterans, and even his companions were so unscrupulous in discussing the matter of taking action against Gu Yan.

At this time, the blade is on me, so naturally I don’t have the courage to resist.

Gu Yan's words calmed his emotions.

"Master Gu, the gambling house, there are more than twenty swordsmen ambushed in the gambling house!

Later, someone will come to them and say that someone is causing trouble. After fooling you, they will close the door and hack you to death, and then accuse you of any crime. "

Gu Yan took back the knife, sat down on the seat reserved for himself, and poured wine into the blood-stained bowl.

The cold blade left his neck, and the surviving Yamen servant Dazhu went limp and leaned against the stone pillar behind him.

Gu Yan put the bowl filled with wine in front of him: "Drink!"

Dazhu never drinks alcohol, and he doesn't want to drink this blood-stained wine.

But in the face of life and death, these are nothing!

He drank the drink in one shuddering gulp.

When the knife was burned into the mouth, a heat spread from the abdomen to the whole body, and soon, Dazhu's face turned red.

"I'm very surprised. Don't you know that I am now the county magistrate's servant? Even if there is an excuse, no one is stupid. Isn't this a slap in the county magistrate's face?"

Dazhu was so drunk that everyone was confused and no longer afraid: "Zhang Tou said that the county magistrate was not angry. He just said that for the sake of the county government and his face, he couldn't come openly and needed to give a decent reason. Once you do it, he won’t care.”

"Gu Yan, even if you kill him today, there are still people from the Julang Gang waiting for you near your home. You are dead!"

Dazhu giggled and shook his head: "Hey, you might as well die in my hands. At worst, if you have any last wishes, I will help you deal with it!"

His mouth smelled of alcohol and his eyes were blurry.

Gu Yan looked carefully and determined that he was not stupid, but simply drunk.

"Chen Zhinian, sometimes things are not as simple as you think." Gu Yan was not surprised by Dazhu's words.

He stood up, picked up the waist knife, and prepared to send Dazhu on his way.

Seeing the shining blade of the sword, Dazhu was frightened and woke up, and his drunkenness disappeared instantly!

"Master Gu, that's nonsense! It can't be true! It can't be true!!!"

Gu Yan ignored it and raised his knife.

"Didn't you say you would give me a better choice?"

Swing the knife!

Strength and speed, combined with a sharp blade.

Dazhu didn't even struggle and fell happily to the table.

"You can still drink and brag before you die. This is a very good treatment."

At this time, in the flower building, the sound of the guzheng stopped and a crowd of cheers sounded.

Gu Yan smiled slightly: "How happy!"

One guzheng, three lives.

This night is still very long.

Isn't there anyone who left a message to remind you to update? I'm so disappointed.

Empty, lonely.

I set up automatic updates and went to beat the king, hum!
