[Comprehensive] First Grade Assassin

Tang State Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is the leading wealthy city in the Tang Dynasty. Its annual tax payment is almost several times that of other cities, and its water transportation business has developed extremely rapidly.Similarly, there are countless masters here.No one stipulates that masters must go to hard work, right?

Speaking of which, the biggest news in Yangzhou recently is not that Tuoba Peak is coming to challenge, nor is it that bandits from Wagang Village next door came to rob, and it is not that the heirs of Cihang Jingzhai and the heirs of Yinguimen fought. Instead, there is a long, long line in front of the classic gourmet shop "Yummy Dim Sum Shop" in Yangzhou.

In this team, you can see the golden little yellow chicken, the military lady leading the horse, the disciples of Cihang Jingzhai who are dressed in white clothes, and even the charming girl of Yin Guimen.The rest of the disciples of the small sects were almost robbed of the limelight by these people, and there were even some martial arts knights who waited in front of the dim sum shop, waiting for someone to come up and line up to challenge each other in order to achieve their goal of success.

Of course, those who jumped in line like this were directly kicked out by the servants on the side.

"Hey, isn't this the little leaf brother from the villa next door? Why, you have no money in the hidden sword villa, so you need to line up by yourself?" A heroic woman in military uniform sneered.

"Buying things for our owner, queuing up is also one of my wishes. But we came at about the same time, and I spent 300 taels of silver to change to the fifth place. As for you? Hehe, don't wait in line. I have a lot of things to buy, sir. "The boy in yellow tossed his bulging purse and said disdainfully.

"That's right, you Tiance are so rude, you better stop eating this kind of snack." The girl from Yinguimen covered her face and smiled, her big eyes flickering, looking extraordinarily delicate and lively.

"Hehe, she's better than an old woman like you. She pretends to be young even when she's old." The woman in military uniform sneered and looked at the woman in front of her who was wearing the same clothes as before. Shame on the scum!" If you want to say which sect the Tiance Mansion's women's army hates the most, the Yingui Sect bears the brunt of it!

"Are you looking for a fight?" The woman from Yinguimen put down her hand, showing a beautiful face, "You are just a group of men and women. We are not allowed to find men because you are not popular. It is like saying that your father is not a man. ,snort!"

"That's better than you hooking up and destroying other people's families, vixen!"

Cursing and cursing, the two of them became angry, and when they were about to make a move, several young arresters stepped forward and "invited" the two of them down together.There are tens of thousands of yamen servants in Yangzhou, if they don't submit obediently, someone will go to their sect to fine them tomorrow.Therefore, even if these two women are powerful in martial arts and can knock all these yamen servants away, they dare not do it lightly.

"If you have the guts, come to the ring with me!" the Yin Guimen girl said in a sinister manner.

"Go up, whoever is afraid!"

In order to control these martial arts masters in Yangzhou, it is impossible to blindly suppress them, so the Yangzhou government has set up several arenas, and they will sign life and death certificates before going on stage, and these Jianghu people will fight at will.But once someone admits defeat, no more killers are allowed, and offenders will be punished with homicide.Of course, it's another matter if you can be confident that you will be caught by surprise if you kill and escape under the supervision of the yamen servants.

Everyone in the line was secretly happy, and there were two less people who could advance two positions.Anyway, ever since this dim sum shop released a "delicious cake" made of grape eggs, this dim sum shop has been full of people.The cake is about 100 taels, which is very expensive, but the most indispensable thing in Yangzhou is gold and silver, and people who come to buy it still line up in a long queue.Sometimes there are people waiting here before dawn, lest today's cakes are sold out early.

Speaking of which, a few days ago a sweeping monk in Shaolin Temple broke through with the master and hosted a banquet for everyone.After eating the vegetarian food, he suddenly served a cake to the several masters present. The taste was incomparable, the milk was sweet but not greasy, it was extremely delicious.The masters who seldom pay attention to food and drink on weekdays also like it very much. It works well, and some disciples come to line up every day to buy it for the masters and ancestors.

The pastry shop never delivers goods to the door. The cakes are made fresh every day, and they will be gone when they are sold out. If you want to buy them, you have to queue up obediently.

It's just that I never expected that the number of people queuing up every day is increasing day by day, and the resulting fights are also countless.The government of Yangzhou had to specially increase troops to maintain law and order.However, according to reliable sources, a certain confidant of the prefect of Yangzhou is also queuing up to buy cakes every day.

The owner of this dim sum shop is naturally Li Dali, oh no, it's Baili Mu.

Since arriving in Tang, Li Dali has been separated from Duan Yu and Xiao Feng.Although Duan Yu is not willing to part with such a friend as Li Dali, but he still hopes to be alone with Xiao Feng.Xiao Feng was not familiar with him, so he didn't say much.

So after having a meal of parting wine, Baili Mu embarked on the journey alone.

In fact, in such an economically developed city, Li Dali's vest is obviously easier to be accepted than Baili Mu's identity.However, he couldn't guarantee that he would not do anything in Yangzhou. At that time, it would be a lot of trouble to think about changing his appearance.Furthermore, Baili Mu's identity has seldom taken orders recently. If he doesn't show his presence, maybe others will think he is dead!

Baili Mu also considered whether to come to kick the restaurant before, but after thinking about it, such a high-profile and flamboyant job is really not what he should do.As a killer, it is the correct style of painting to sneak up on other people's roofs, sneak into their bedrooms, and fight logically in the dark and windy night.Moreover, doing too many things like kicking the pavilion can easily lead to hatred, and peaceful coexistence is the way to long-term development.

Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Kingdom, is undoubtedly full of masters.However, the law and order there is far better than other places.If you make a move there, you are either not afraid of death, or you are not afraid of being hit.Baili Mu first ruled out the option of going to Chang'an.Of course, I didn't want to go there and see my brother's face.Ever since the senior brother became a magic stick, ah, no, he was a national teacher, his deception skills have gradually increased, and he has to count the money for him if he is sold. Bailimu will never do such a thing, even if the senior brother No matter how many masters there are, it is the same.The rest, of course, are Luoyang, Yangzhou and other big cities with developed economies and many sects.

Baili Mu thought about it, and finally caught Yangzhou by drawing lots.

The Delicious Dim Sum Shop is a shop opened by Baili Mu a long time ago, and its main function was to collect news.When he got here, he found that there was gold everywhere, ahem, and masters everywhere, so he immediately wrote to ask his subordinates to send some grape spider eggs in stock together with the newly recruited Western pastry chef to develop Cakes of all flavors.In order to increase the appeal to masters and even grandmasters, the milk used in this cake is specially made, and some concoction is added into it.Sure enough, the cake became a huge hit as soon as it was launched.Those masters also like the taste and effect very much, and the long queue in front of the door is also expected.

Baili Mu observed for several days, and managed to get a rough idea of ​​the relationship between the various sects.Most of those female disciples hated the Yingui sect very much, and they almost had to quarrel when they saw it. As for Cihang Jingzhai, they were relatively calm. It was rare to see their disciples arguing with others, probably because of their status.There is no major hatred between the disciples of Yubamen, there are a lot of minor frictions, it is not very harmonious.Most of those disciples from the small family chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, anyway, they just didn't intervene.Fights between disciples rarely attract high-level elders to take action, so the intention of tampering can be put aside.

Listening to the conversations of these disciples, it can be known that the owner of Hidden Sword Villa is currently retreating, the owner of Tiance Mansion is at the border, and the one at Qixiufang seems to be in Luoyang.However, I heard that there is a powerful master coming to investigate some things at the Demon Sect, and it is estimated that it will be these days.

Another thing that people are more concerned about is that Shi Qingxuan, the daughter of the evil king Shi Zhixuan, promised Wang Tong to play for him.

Shi Qingxuan.

Baili Mu looked at the news about her on the paper, and couldn't help feeling a little bit interested.She is not only the daughter of the evil king, but also a rare beauty herself.It is said that when she became famous back then, Shi Guanyin pretended not to have heard of her fame.Shi Zhixuan has been famous for many years, how can his daughter be so restless.

Baili Mu has been in various banquets in Yangzhou recently, and almost everyone knows that he is the cousin of the owner of the delicious dim sum shop that has gained fame recently, but even so, no one dares to underestimate him.Those so-called masters who intend to test him, or want to take over his shop, have almost lost their limbs and been imprisoned in the cage.

These days, it is quite common for a few masters to suddenly appear.And Bailimu is still a foreigner, it's normal for them not to know.These people heard that the servants of the delicious dim sum shop called him "Boss Mu", so they naturally thought that Baili Mu's surname was Mu, and they didn't associate him with the world's number one killer at all.

On this day, it was heard that Shi Qingxuan had arrived in Yangzhou, and many sects had sent disciples to attend. Baili Mu, as one of the people who had gotten along well recently, also received a chapter invitation.

Baili Mu tidied up for himself a bit, and told the people at the pastry shop some things, then took the invitation in his hand and studied it slowly.

"Xiao Ling, look at that man, he just has an invitation card, we can rob him and let him in." Kou Zhong eagerly said.

"Young Master Zhong, I feel something is wrong." Xu Ziling became more and more calm after practicing the "Secret of Longevity". "He went to the banquet alone with the invitation card. I don't believe that there is no one who has the same idea as us along the way."

"That's right. But I see him as a scholar." Kou Zhong was still unwilling to give up.He and Xu Ziling were born during the civil strife that year, their parents died early, and they depended on each other for many years.It wasn't until I met a girl from Korea a few years ago that I became a proficient girl by mistake.It's just that this ability is really nothing in Yangzhou where there are many masters today.

However, the luck of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling was not so good, and they accidentally got involved in the right and wrong of Yin Guimen and Cihang Jingzhai. Originally, the two wanted to worship Yubamen, because their skills were actually the same as those of Yubamen. Bamen's main practice skills were incompatible, so he had to rest his mind.After that, Kou Zhong met Li Xiuning, the princess of the royal family, and fell in love with her at first sight.It's a pity that even if he is a side branch, he is also a relative of the emperor, so how can he be regarded as a gangster?

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, the two people living at the bottom, have a great say in how Yangzhou has developed in recent years.Since the national teacher personally ordered the governance, almost all the gangsters like the boss of Yan went to prison. The two of them were young and strong, but they found a good job as a bodyguard, and they were appreciated by the boss of the bodyguard bureau.Who knew that the famous He's Bi was hidden in the escort's bodyguard... This is terrible, the national teacher has ordered that those who hide He's Bi will be punished as homicide.

So that escort trip not only provoked Yin Guimen and Cihang Jingzhai, but also got caught in the restoration of the royal branch.Before the civil strife, Li Xiuning and others were the real heirs, but after the civil strife, they had almost no rights.They feel that the current national teacher is bewitching the public and the monarch with his evil words, trying to seize the power of the Li family, so they want to invite Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to join the great cause of fighting against the demons!

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are almost the beneficiaries of the national teacher's warrant, and they also have memories of the civil strife more than ten years ago. How could they agree to such a ridiculous request, so they had to hide all the way?Recently, Kou Zhong was really annoyed, and when he heard about Shi Qingxuan again, he immediately wanted to sneak in and see for himself.

However, the magistrate of Yangzhou also knew that Shi Qingxuan was too famous, so he specially borrowed many disciples from Yubamen to maintain law and order, and those who wanted to fish in troubled waters immediately stopped thinking.Kou Zhong and Kou Zhong also had some old friends in Yubamen. Those friends told them that as long as they had an invitation, they could turn a blind eye and let them pass.If it doesn't work, find someone with an invitation to take them in!

No, the two of them had been waiting for a long time, and finally saw a person like Baili Mu who had an invitation come to the door.

"Why don't we try to talk to him?" Kou Zhong rolled his eyes and had an idea.

"Okay." Xu Ziling nodded.

"Big brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Kou Zhong laughed from behind, and then went up to hug Baili Mu's shoulder.

Baili Mu had already listened to the conversation between the two of them, and was a little bored in his heart, so he was willing to give them a convenience.After all, the breath-holding skills of the two of them are really good, comparable to the one created by Chu Liuxiang.

Baili Mu reached out to block Kou Zhong's approaching hand, "Are you two...?"

"We drank together a few days ago, why don't you remember!" Kou Zhong had an unbelievable look on his face, "You said at that time that we were going to become brothers!"

Xu Ziling remained silent, as if acquiescing to what Kou Zhong said.

"But I just arrived in Yangzhou today." Baili Mu said with a very rude smile.

"Ah? Is that the wrong person?" Kou Zhong put down his hand resentfully, and took a closer look at Baili Mu, "Look carefully, it's a little different haha. Brother, don’t be offended. But it’s better to meet by chance, this brother is going to meet the world-famous Shi Qingxuan?"

"Exactly."

"Coincidentally, we are too, let's go together." Kou Zhong said familiarly.

Baili Mu seemed to have pondered for a while, then nodded, "Alright."

"Then thank you brother." Xu Ziling didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but he still quietly gave Kou Zhong a thumbs up.

"I heard that Shi Qingxuan's Xiaoyin is famous all over the world. Those who have heard of it will undoubtedly admire her. It seems that there will be a good show tonight." Kou Zhong said carelessly, "I am Kou Zhong, and this is my good friend." Brother Xu Ziling, we are all the ones who will open the world's No. [-] bodyguard in the future! This brother doesn't know your surname, what does he do for a living?"

"It's just a business with no capital." Baili Mu said seriously, "I have learned a little bit of face-to-face skills in my class, and the two are full of heaven. You can tell that they are blessed people at a glance."

"Hahaha, big brother, you can really talk!" Kou Zhong laughed.

"Business without capital? Could it be that this brother is an assassin?" Xu Ziling was much more careful than Kou Zhongke.

"Almost." Baili Mu nodded.

"Then you have to be careful. Yamen servants in Yangzhou are not vegetarians." Kou Zhong didn't think there was anything wrong with Baili Mu's occupation, "Have you heard of shadow assassin Yang Xuyan?"

"No." Baili Mu shook his head.

"Hey, he is a well-known assassin in our country of Tang. I heard that when the list of the world's number one killers came out, there were still people who dissatisfied with him, thinking that he should be the world's number one killer. But even he didn't dare Take over the business in Yangzhou. I heard that if you invite him to do it in Yangzhou, the fee will be doubled." Kou Zhong winked and said, "But if you are imprisoned one day, remember to report the names of the two of us. I have some friendship with the yamen servant, maybe I can help you a little bit, so I thank you for your help today."

"Okay." Baili Mu is not hypocritical, his serious look makes Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling feel very happy, at least it is much better than those hypocritical flattery.

"Isn't my brother from the Tang Dynasty? I heard that in other countries, there are many beauties who are not inferior to Shi Qingxuan, concubine Xuan and others. Have you ever met my brother?" Men, chatting and chatting will inevitably lead to beauties body.

"Yes." Baili Mu nodded, "Similar in age, I have seen Lin Xian'er and a girl named Wang Yuyan."

"Oh, Lin Xian'er, I've heard of it. It seems that a famous heroine used to be vain about her beauty and went to see her, but she disappeared after she came back!" Kou Zhong expressed his interest in her.

"Well, she looks pretty good." Baili Mu thought that Lin Xian'er, who was with Liu Zhuang now, no longer had the beauty of the past, but she was still much better looking than ordinary women.Liu Zhuang is also very satisfied with her, but it's a pity that it's hard to have children because of...a mismatch in any aspect.

"There is also a young girl named Shen Bijun, who is only in her prime now, but if she grows up, she may become even more famous." Baili Mu thought for a while and said.Shen Bijun was raised in an aristocratic family, and his martial arts can only be regarded as average. He has a little more gentle temperament that the chivalrous women of the Jianghu do not have, and the impression in the hearts of men will be better.Furthermore, Shen Bijun didn't have a backstage like Shi Qingxuan, concubine Xuan and others who would scare people away when they saw it. He belonged to the bright moon in the sky that could be reached, and his popularity might be even higher.

"The sky is big and the earth is big, let's go to other countries to see sometime, Young Master Zhong." Xu Ziling especially wanted to go to the Song Dynasty.

"Okay, we can go anytime you want." Kou Zhong agreed very readily.

Seeing how these two people have such a good relationship, Baili Mu couldn't help being a little happy.

They are also childhood sweethearts, look at other people's brothers, and then think about their own senior brothers...

Forget it, he didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to be in love with his senior brother.

While talking, the three of them had arrived at their destination.

"Kou Zhong, Ziling, you're really here." A heroic young man in military uniform said to a friend next to him, and happily came over to talk to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling about the old days.

"Haha, how can such a grand event miss our Yangzhou Shuanglong?" Kou Zhong punched the young man jokingly, "Brother, are all the people inside here?"

"It's all here, alas, it's a pity that I have to stay outside and I can't see Shi Qingxuan." The man said with regret.

"Let's see you well." Xu Ziling patted him on the shoulder.

"Hee hee, you are still free. I guess if I fight now, I won't be able to beat you. You two have improved too fast. Our commander appreciates you." The man shook his head regretfully.

"It's okay, we can still meet often." Kou Zhong said indifferently.

"By the way, who did you find to bring you in?" the young man said with a smile.

"No, that's the one." Kou Zhong pointed at Baili Mu.

The young man looked in the direction Kou Zhong pointed, the surprise on his face was too late to hide.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Xu Ziling asked.

"No, your luck is really..." The young man sighed helplessly, "Do you know who he is?"

"He said he was in business without capital, I think he was probably an assassin." Kou Zhong replied.

"Hey, it's almost like a business without capital. Do you remember the cakes you ate? They were sold in his shop." The young man covered his head in pain, and he also wanted to eat those soft and delicious little cakes. Snacks, but their salaries are not enough to buy them. He has to earn money for several days to get money here today, and he may not be able to buy them!

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling met Li Xiuning a few days ago, and Li Xiuning invited them to eat a piece of cake, and then the three of them chatted while drinking!

"Fuck, is that the profiteer who cheats people to death!" Kou Zhong couldn't help blurting out.

100 taels of dim sum, no one sells such expensive ones!

This is just the basic price, and the cakes with different flavors are so expensive that it is hard to look directly at them.

No wonder the other party said that he was doing business without capital!
