At the beginning of the mass grave, I took the villain to open up wasteland and farm

Han Mingyuan stood up at this time obviously to protect him, but the premise of protecting him was that the village girl should be safe.

So if I want to survive, I have to ensure the safety of the village girl.

"Clearly"

Du Hongguang ran to Chang Ning's body in a rolling and crawling manner, mustered up great courage and opened his arms to protect her behind him.

Seeing that his whole body was trembling with fear, and the flesh on his face bounced "duangduang", Chang Ning found it funny for no reason.

She patted Du Hongguang on the shoulder, suppressed a smile and said, "Young Master Du, if you survive, I will introduce a brother to you in the future."

Du Hongguang opened half of his eyes and asked stammeringly, "What brother?"

Chang Ning smiled without saying a word.

She felt that Gou Fugui'er would get along well with him.

Gou Fuguier, who was basking in the sun far away at home, sneezed twice, rubbed the tip of his nose, and cursed in a low voice: "Who the hell is cursing this young master?"

When the killer in front saw Han Mingyuan standing forward with a sharp sword in his hand, he initially looked down upon him, but only when he saw him standing tall, and the fierce aura around him made horses dare not approach him, then he looked at him squarely.

People in Jianghu are very familiar with human skin masks, but after a second glance, the leader of the killer guessed that Han Mingyuan's identity is not a simple farmer.

His tone was a little more polite, and he asked, "Who is your Excellency?"

Han Mingyuan's expression was indifferent, his long and narrow eyes were as cold as looking at a corpse, "The one who took your life."

The murderer never thought that the assassination would go smoothly, and naturally he would not be intimidated by Han Mingyuan's few words of intimidation. He pulled out the big knife at his waist and said in a cold tone, "Since your Excellency is unwilling to say, each is the master, then Only if you offend, please young master and the second son of the Du family go on the road together!"

Han Mingyuan sneered contemptuously, he didn't pay attention to the people in front of him at all, the afterimages flashed by, and took their lives in an instant.

The leader of the killer only felt horrified, he didn't even see how Han Mingyuan made the attack, and before he had time to be afraid, Han Mingyuan's figure had already appeared in front of his eyes.

Seeing the sword light coming towards him, the man resisted with his sword, but was knocked off his horse by the sharp edge of the sword.

Then the two fought fiercely.

The fight over there was in full swing, and Chang Ning ran to Du Hongguang's horse to check the situation.

The short arrow pierced the horse's calf. Fortunately, the arrow was not poisonous and did not hurt the bone. It can be cured after a period of rest.

Otherwise, it would be a pity that such a good horse died.

"He...he...why is he so powerful." Du Hongguang pointed at Han Mingyuan and said hesitantly.

Chang Ning looked back, but the battle was over in the blink of an eye.

The leader of the killer was lying in a pool of blood and he was out of breath, leaving a killer who obviously lacked courage to kneel on the ground and begged Han Mingyuan for his life.

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

The killer was afraid of offending Han Mingyuan, so he hurriedly said: "We don't know, we received the order in the black market to kill Du Hongguang, the second son of the Du family, and get a reward of 500 taels."

Du Hongguang said angrily: "My son's life is only worth 500 taels?!"

Chang Ning asked with a smile, "How much does Young Master Du think it's worth?"

Du Hongguang puffed out his chest, "At least 5000 taels...gold!"

"Crack!" Chang Ning slapped his hands, "The deal is only 5000 taels of gold!"

Du Hongguang asked a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"Mr. Du himself said that your life is worth 5000 taels of gold. Since we saved your life, should we give us 5000 taels of gold as a reward?"

"What!" Du Hongguang turned pale with shock, "You took advantage of the fire to rob!"

Chang Ning smiled, "It turns out that Mr. Du is not worth the money. Forget it, let's kill you and take your head to the black market to exchange for money! Don't worry, my brother's knife express will not make you feel pain."

Perhaps in order to cooperate with Chang Ning, Han Mingyuan swung his knife decisively to end the killer's life just now, but the angle happened to block Chang Ning's line of sight, but it was facing Du Hongguang.

This head-on critical attack made Du Hongguang's legs weak in fright on the spot.

"Don't, don't, don't!" Du Hongguang hurriedly said: "Girl, don't worry, I have money, I'll give you the money, don't kill me!"

Stretching out his hand to touch his body, he took out a 100 taels of silver bill. Du Hongguang was so anxious that he burst into tears, shouting, "But I don't have 5000 taels of gold!"

Seeing him crying with snot flying all over his nose, Chang Ning suddenly felt that the second young master of the Du family was easy to deal with. If he could make friends with him, wouldn't it be much easier to expand business in Liangcheng in the future!
"If you don't have 5000 taels of gold, then write an IOU first, and return it to us if you have it in the future, how about it?"

Du Hongguang nodded again and again, "I write, I write."

Looking around, I couldn't find any paper and pen at all, "Where did I write it?"

Chang Ning saw how frightened he was, even though he couldn't figure it out, pointed to the jade pendant on his waist, "Give us that thing as a token."

Du Hongguang clutched the jade pendant, feeling a little unhappy, "This is what my mother left for me."

"Uh……"

Although Chang Ning wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, he was not ruthless enough to take away the mother's belongings so shamelessly. Just as he was about to say forget it, Du Hongguang took off the jade pendant himself and handed it over.

"It's fine for you, but can you do me another favor?"

"Let's hear it first."

Du Hongguang seemed to have made a great decision, and summoned up his courage to say, "Accompany me to the black market."

He could hear clearly what the killer said just now, someone offered a reward for his life on the black market, and he wanted to know who wanted his life.

"As long as I know who is behind the scenes, how about I owe the girl another favor?"

Han Mingyuan didn't want Chang Ning to get involved in this muddy water, and refused: "Since you know about the black market, why don't you ask yourself."

Du Hongguang's lower lip trembled, his teary eyes looked like an unwanted puppy, and he whimpered, "I dare not go by myself."

Han Mingyuan: "..."

"So what if we know? Obviously, you were assassinated not once or twice, why do you want to know the murderer this time?" Chang Ning asked.

Du Hongguang looked between the two of them, and then said calmly: "My mother was also hit by such a short arrow. The person who killed me this time is the same person who killed my mother. I want to avenge my mother!"

Thinking of the last time they came out of the black market and met Du Jinbao, the eldest son of Du, the person behind the assassination was clear at a glance.

Chang Ning sighed lightly, and asked tentatively, "What if it's your own brother?"

Du Hongguang's eyes flickered slightly, but his expression didn't change. In fact, he already had a guess in his heart, but there was only one piece of evidence missing.

"I want to hear people from the black market tell me."

Han Mingyuan said sarcastically: "Business in the black market only recognizes money but not people. It is absolutely confidential to the employers behind the scenes. Even if you ask in person, they will not be able to tell you the truth."

As soon as the scene changed, Han Mingyuan brought Chang Ning and Du Hongguang back to the black market again. In the same hall, there was also He Jin, the shopkeeper with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
