The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world.

Chapter 496 What Tie Kaicheng Doesn’t Know
It's almost as fast as a blink of an eye.

The Mi brothers died, Black Evil Sword Du Fang died, Gong Yehui and Yue Gongda were lying on the ground wailing, and no one knew how many bones they had broken. The only person who was still intact at the scene was Ding Zhen.

Ding Zhen was stunned. He just leaped up and fell down. Strictly speaking, he only made one move, but he didn't hit anyone!
Looking at Tie Kaicheng in front of him, Ding Zhen's body couldn't help but start to tremble.

"I don't want to repeat it for the third time." Tie Kaicheng said calmly, "If you still don't tell me, then there's no point in keeping you."

"Three thousand taels!" Ding Zhen said hurriedly, and then added, "Three thousand taels per person!"

Tie Kaicheng nodded in understanding, "Money can move people's hearts, three thousand taels is not a small amount."

For true top masters, money is just a string of numbers. They may not be very rich, and may not love money, but once they really need money, they will definitely not be short of money.

But it is a different story for people like Ding Zhen and Gong Yehui.

They are not considered to be righteous people in the martial arts world. They are a group of people who are both good and evil. Although they have some fame, their martial arts skills are not high enough to make most people afraid of them. Even the escort agency dare not employ such people. They love money, but where can they get the money?
They are just some crooked ways and gray areas. You won't starve to death, but you won't be full either. As for wanting to become rich and powerful or even live a luxurious life, that is even more impossible.

So they will not miss any opportunity to make a fortune. Don’t you see that as soon as the big boss issued a call to the underworld, Black Evil Sword Du Fang and the two swords of the Mi family came rushing over, wanting to sell their goods to the wise family?

So three thousand taels of silver would be enough to make them turn against us.

However, they did not expect that the chief escort of the Red Flag Escort Agency had such high martial arts skills. Even when the six of them joined forces, they could not withstand a single attack.

"Then what? What did he order?" Tie Kaicheng asked.

"He said that after we catch you, we will hand you over to the big boss's people. Then we can follow the big boss, and the monthly offerings will not be less than that of Iron Fist Ayong." Ding Zhen said.

"What kind of treatment is Iron Fist Ayong receiving?" Tie Kaicheng asked curiously.

"Three hundred taels per month!" said Ding Zhen.

"The boss is indeed rich." Tie Kaicheng sighed. This was already ten times more than the monthly salary of the escorts of the Red Flag Escort Agency. No wonder Gong Yehui and the Mi brothers were tempted.

"And you believed it?" Tie Kaicheng asked.

Ding Zhen blinked. Of course they believed it, otherwise they would not have come to plot against Tie Kaicheng and his men.

"Stupid." Tie Kaicheng shook his head.

What level is Iron Fist Ayong? What level are they? How can they compare with Iron Fist Ayong? Is it so easy to get a monthly salary of three hundred and two taels?
Zhuyeqing agreed to them, obviously just to fool them. Maybe after the matter was settled, he would kill them.

But since they believed Zhuyeqing's words, it means...

Tie Kaicheng stepped forward and patted Ding Zhen on the shoulder, then took out a Hengtong Money House silver note with a value of one thousand taels from his arms.

"Alas, times have changed, life is not easy. When have I ever touched the spoils of war before?" Tie Kaicheng sighed and continued to ask, "Who are you going to hand us over to?"

Ding Zhen glanced at the banknote reluctantly, then said, "They are just outside the east gate of the compound. There are two carriages and people waiting for them."

Tie Kaicheng nodded, said "thank you for your hard work", and then patted Ding Zhen's chest lightly.

Ding Zhen looked at his chest, then at Tie Kaicheng, and then he suddenly fell to the ground, as if all the bones in his body were broken. This strange scene caught Sun Xingyu's attention, and she couldn't help asking, "What kind of martial arts is this?"

Tie Kaicheng said calmly, "This is called the Bone-Dissolving Palm. After the palm strikes, the force enters the body and spreads to the bones throughout the body, making the bones as soft as cotton. Even gods can't save them."

Normally speaking, it would take one or two hours for the force to be transmitted after the Bone-Dissolving Palm hits, but Tie Kaicheng now has a pure and powerful Mingyu Skill, and the penetrating power of his internal force is very strong. For someone like Ding Zhen who has little resistance, it only takes a blink of an eye for the force to penetrate his whole body.

Sun Xingyu looked at Tie Kaicheng in shock, as if she was looking at a treasure.

At this moment, another set of footsteps was heard outside the side courtyard, two of them were steady and powerful, while one was a little weak.

The next moment, two big men jumped into the yard with a woman.

"There is obviously a door in this yard, why do you all want to jump over the wall?" Tie Kaicheng asked.

Rong Zhengjie scratched the back of his head. Li Chengjiu said, "Because we are worried that we might run into the servants in the courtyard if we go through the main gate."

The people who came were none other than Li Cheng, the escort who was sent by Tie Kaicheng to Dongcheng to gather information, and Rong Zhengjie who came here with him. But the person they were holding in their hands was a woman with a slim figure and a charming and seductive face.

But at this moment, there was a hint of panic and confusion in the woman's eyes.

This woman is Tietou’s third concubine, Jin Lanhua. In the original novel, when Xie Xiaofeng meets Zhuyeqing, she is abducted by Zhuyeqing’s men, and then commits suicide in front of the big boss to protect Xie Xiaofeng.

"The chief escort leader was right. The boss's men were indeed going to capture her, but they were intercepted by us." Rong Zhengjie said.

Sun Xingyu looked at this woman, then at Tie Kaicheng, her eyes full of confusion. She could tell that this woman was just a coquettish woman. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be able to catch Tie Kaicheng's eye, right?

Xue Keren laughed and said, "I didn't realize that Tie Zong Escort is such a romantic guy. He actually has a lover in Dongcheng. Did you come here just for her?"

Tie Kaicheng nodded and said seriously, "She is Xie Xiaofeng's former lover. In Xie Xiaofeng's eyes, she is probably in the same position as you."

The smile on Xue Keren's face disappeared immediately.

Jin Lanhua looked at Xue Keren with scrutiny and mockery in her eyes.

"Aren't you the big boss's men?" Jin Lanhua asked.

Tie Kaicheng said nothing. Sun Xingyu pointed at the four corpses and two half-dead people on the ground and said, "They are the boss's men."

Jin Lanhua breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly said, "The big boss wants to deal with Xie Xiaofeng!"

"We know." Xue Keren curled her lips, then sat down at the table calmly, looked at Tie Kaicheng, and sighed leisurely, "Is there anything in this world that you don't know?"

"Of course there are." Tie Kaicheng pointed at Jin Lanhua and said, "For example, whether you and Xie Xiaofeng slept more often, or she and Xie Xiaofeng slept more often."

Sun Xingyu chuckled, "For example, which of them went to bed earlier than Xie Xiaofeng?"

Tie Kaicheng nodded and said, "I really don't know that either."
