Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 8 In This Mountain

In Yang Ming and Xiao Xuenv's cave life, time passed quickly. When a bear was more than half eaten, the snow in Taihang Mountains had almost melted and [-]% to [-]% had melted.

Although there is still snow in the high places, the paths that people often walk in the mountains can already be used by pedestrians.

Yang Ming, who took Xuenv back to set off, went straight to the north after identifying the direction, preparing to enter the northern border of Zhao State through Jingxing Pass, and send Xuenv to Li Mu in Yanmen County.

As for why Yang Ming didn't go directly to Fukou Pass and enter the Qin Kingdom, he had to give up that choice.

Qin State's inspection of strangers is too strict. Once they enter Qin State, they may be arrested by Qin State before they take any action, and enjoy the package meal and accommodation package. .

When passing close to Fukou, Yang Ming saw a human head hanging above the city gate from a distance. Because it was too far away, he could only see a vague outline, but the gray hair pointed it at a person.

Looking at the head whose blood had already turned into ice, Yang Ming was speechless for a moment, and then went straight south with Xue Nu.

On the way, he met a group of hunters, old and young, who had returned from hunting. In a few words, Yang Ming became acquainted with a few of them, and then he mentioned the head at Fukou Pass in a casual sentence.

"If you want to talk about that person, he is really a ruthless person. Colluding with thieves to murder the master's family is really insane." An old hunter heard Yang Ming ask about the most explosive case within a hundred miles recently, talking about his sexuality being turned on. He told Yang Ming about this matter with eloquence.

"Fortunately, the law of heaven is clear, and a bad person will never be let go. The insane person cannot escape the fate of being brought to justice. Now his head is hanging in the city gate, and his body is abandoned in the forest, becoming food for wolves, tigers and leopards. , it can be said that there are no bones left."

"This can be regarded as retribution." Yang Ming said leisurely. At this time, his mood was very complicated. For a loyal, cunning and cold-blooded person like the old housekeeper, his kindness was only aimed at a master like Xue Nu. Therefore, his cruelty has no bottom line.

Yang Ming really didn't know how to evaluate such a person.

"Alas." The old hunter who was beaming with joy and sharing the secret with Yang Ming suddenly let out a long sigh.

"It's just that the poor lady of the main family, at a young age, first experienced the disaster of family ruin and death, and then was kidnapped by the thief. When the thief was dying, he even killed her in a frenzy. It's miserable, it's really miserable." The hunter shook his head again and again, sighing for a while.

His expression was full of pity and sympathy for another 'Xiao Xuenv'.

Listening to the story told by the old hunter, Yang Ming's thoughts were tumbling. It was difficult for him to understand the behavior of the old housekeeper.

What exactly is that behavior?It is such a noble character to be able to take the initiative to die for Xuenv, but in order to achieve his goal, he can kill an innocent girl so brutally, what is this kind of behavior?
Is it cruel, is it evil, is it cold-blooded, or what?
What exactly drove the old butler to do such a thing?Is it loyal?Is it a letter?Righteousness?Or is it a so-called hero?Or nothing.

It wasn't until now that Yang Ming realized that he didn't know the old man's name from the beginning to the end. There are still many things he needs to know about this world.

The same is true whether it is Uncle Biao, who took the initiative to die for his family, or the old housekeeper who seemed very cunning to him.

His extra memory does not allow him to truly know people who understand this world, and when he always regards himself as a spectator of this world, he will never be able to understand people in this world.

A person outside the story can never understand the person in the story unless he himself is the person in the story.

"Speaking of that poor girl from the main family, she is about the same age as your sister. I heard that she was very beautiful, and people will never forget it once they see it. The head lady's hair was all shaved, and your sister..." The old man said and looked at Xiao Xuenv, who was carried on his back by Yang Ming.

As his gaze gradually fixed on Xue Nu, his expression froze, because although Xue Nu was wearing a bearskin hat, she seemed to have no hair.

Realizing this, the old hunter couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously touched the dagger at his waist with his palm, but, amidst Yang Ming's innocent and kind smile, he slowly let go of his hand again.

At this moment, Xuenv listened to the story told by the old man. She already knew that her housekeeper grandpa was dead, and even more that he died for her own sake. For a moment, sadness dominated her, and tears filled her eyes. On Yang Ming's shoulder, weeping softly.

"My sister is young, so she has substituted herself into that poor lady of the main family." Yang Ming said calmly and relaxedly when he saw the old hunter's eyes fixed on Xue Nu's face and the relaxation after that moment of tension.

"Yes, yes, this age is exactly the age of sentimentality." The old hunter smiled and shook his head, only thinking that he was too sensitive, and there was no such thing as a coincidence.

Moreover, he saw Xue Nu's attitude towards Yang Ming was very intimate, compared to the kidnapper, she was more like a brother and sister.

In a hidden stronghold in Luowang, Zhao Capital City.

"My lord, there is something wrong with the situation. The old man may have done it on purpose, and the little girl seems to be a fake." A killer who was doing business analysis said to the leader killer.

"So what if it's fake, this matter has nothing to do with us now, hasn't the people in Yemu already taken care of this matter?" the leader in black said.

In the previous operation, Luo Wang and Night Killer took over the job at the same time, but the old butler was so cunning that neither Luo Wang nor Night Killer could complete the task.

But compared to Luo Wang, Ye Mu is obviously more shameless. After the old housekeeper died at the hands of the guards at Fukou Gate, when Luo Wang had internally admitted the failure of the mission, Ye Mu took the initiative to bring the news back to Zhao Du, and to Guo Kai, the prime minister, said that it was the men in the night who, through unremitting pursuit, successfully drove the old housekeeper from Taishang Mountain to Fukou Pass, so that the defenders there killed the old housekeeper.

In this way, although Yemu failed to personally kill the old housekeeper, he still got [-]% of the commission promised by Guo Kai in advance. Luo Wang expressed deep contempt for Yemu's behavior of being so "shameful" and disregarding the basic professionalism of the killer industry.

It is not that simple to expose things now, and the fact that the real target is still alive is naturally happy to see it come true.

"Aren't we going to tell over there?" Killer B asked.

"No, wouldn't that help Yemu. If that girl lives, as long as she lives, it will be the greatest humiliation to Yemu. We have to wait for Guo Kai to discover the truth himself, so that he can truly realize the professional ethics of Yemu. How low it is, if we tell Guo Kai now, the effect will not be good, Yemu can completely avoid the matter with a mistake." The killer leader said.

"We want Guo Kai to know that Koreans can't do anything except make money. The real professional killers still need to be caught by us."
