The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 592: Mutual murder [Subscription*Monthly ticket required]

However, not long after the man in black robe left, and before Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu could discuss who paid the murderer to kill Zhao Cong, the gate of the courtyard was knocked again.

Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu were stunned again.

Their business is indeed good during this period.

A big customer paid them to kill most of the nobles in Liaoyang, as well as a group of generals in the army who were responsible for logistics.

But this is the first time that so many businesses have come to our store so soon after each other like today.

Zi Nu opened the door again.

It was still the man in black robe.

"What do you mean, sir?" Zi Nu frowned.

The killer and his employer should not have too much interaction, especially if he leaves and comes back, which is a big taboo!
"I'll ask you to kill one more person. The money is not much, but it will be easy, and he won't resist!" the man in black robe continued.

"No matter who they are, they all have a price!" Zi Nu shook her head.

Intelligence may be provided by employers, but it is for reference only. They will check it themselves and will not believe it completely, as that would be irresponsible for their own lives.

The man in black robe hesitated for a moment, then bowed, turned and left without saying who he was going to kill.

"Confucian body movements!" Looking at the body movements displayed by the man in black robe when he left, Zi Nu frowned slightly.

Confucian body techniques are too easy to recognize, or it can be said that in this era, there are not many schools that subdivide martial arts into body techniques, mental techniques, and swordsmanship, each of which has its own unique characteristics.

For example, Mohist swordsmanship and lightning speed.

Another example is the Fengwu Liuhuan, a martial arts skill that does not differentiate between different body movements.

When the Lightning Step is practiced to a certain level, it will be as if lightning is accompanying you every time you move. The same goes for the Confucian body movements and lightness skills, which always have a touch of elegance and are very recognizable.

And this cannot be faked. After all, if one has not mastered Confucian martial arts to a certain level, one cannot display that kind of elegance.

There are not many such Confucian scholars in the whole of Liaoyang.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the other party should be Yan Ju!" Zi Nu closed the door and returned to the yard and said to Wei Zhuang.

"Sure enough, there is always struggle for power and profit everywhere!" Wei Zhuang said sarcastically.

Zi Nu seemed to have thought of something and sighed, "The deputy general in the army asked someone to kill the commander..."

"I thought it would be a Qin person, but I didn't expect that!" Wei Zhuang didn't really think of Yan Ju at first. He thought it was a Qin person, and he thought Luowang didn't send enough killers.

Only now did they realize that the people of Zhao were already fighting each other before the Qin people even made a move.

"Yan Ju doesn't seem to want to live either!" Zi Nu suddenly thought of something, then spoke in surprise and explained what happened at the door to Wei Zhuang.

"..."Wei Zhuang was also stunned. There seemed to be some hidden secret that they didn't know.

Yan Ju asked them to kill Zhao Cong, but he also wanted to use them to kill himself. However, he did not have enough money, so he had to give up.

"Knock knock~Knock knock knock~" Another series of secret knocks on the door.

Although the rhythm is the same this time, the intervals and the force of the strikes are different, and the sounds produced are also different. It will no longer be Yan Ju.

Zi Nu had no choice but to open the door again.

He was also wearing a black robe, but his body shape was different and his gait was more steady when he walked. It was obvious that he was a soldier.

The visitor was exactly the same as Yan Ju, both were shocked that Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang actually showed their true faces.

"Please help me kill one person, Mr. Wei Zhuang!" The man lowered his voice deliberately, unlike Yan Ju who did not even hide his voice.

But this is normal. After all, he is from Confucianism. Even if he does something unjust, he is unwilling to give up his identity and retain his last bit of dignity. "Who is it?" Wei Zhuang asked doubtfully.

"The deputy general of the army, Yan Ju, a Confucian from the State of Qi!" the visitor said hoarsely.

Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu looked at each other. Just a moment ago, Yan Ju came to hire a killer to kill someone, and the next moment, someone came to hire a killer to kill Yan Ju.

If they killed Yan Ju and Zhao Cong, would they still be able to receive the balance?

Could this person be Zhao Cong?
If it really was Zhao Cong, then they most likely only received the deposit and couldn't find anyone to pay the final payment.

"Pay first, kill later!" Wei Zhuang hesitated and changed the settlement method.

He was really afraid that the person coming was Zhao Cong, or that Zhao Cong was the mastermind behind the murder of Yan Ju.

"How much?" The visitor did not hesitate. After all, he was Wei Zhuang, the master of Guiguzi. If he didn't have this much credibility...

屮 (a kind of plant!), Guiguzi Zongheng has become a killer, it seems that he has no credibility at all.

Just when the visitor was angry about his quick words, Wei Zhuang finally spoke.

"After all, he is the deputy general of a country's army and a Confucian. Five hundred gold!"

The visitor hesitated for a moment, "Two hundred gold at most!"

Wei Zhuang's eyes sank slightly. For a deputy general of a country and a man from a prominent family, five hundred gold was not expensive and was already very fair. Except for Luowang, other killer organizations did not even dare to take such an order.

"I can only give you this much. Of course, if you are willing to wait, sir, five hundred gold is also fine!" the man added.

Wei Zhuang looked at Zi Nu again. If before they only suspected that the person coming was Zhao Cong, now they can almost confirm that the person coming is Zhao Cong.

They naturally knew Zhao Cong's current situation, so they also knew that Zhao Cong really couldn't come up with that much money now.

Zi Nu shook her head slightly.

She understood what Wei Zhuang meant. He was asking her whether she wanted to take action now. After all, they had accepted Yan Ju's order first, and Zhao Cong now came to them on his own without any guards around him. It would be safest to take action now.

However, Zhao Cong’s current identity is their customer. If they kill their customer and the news gets out, they will not even be qualified to be killers in the future.

"Goodbye!" Zhao Cong obviously misunderstood Zi Nu's meaning. He turned around and left, swiftly and decisively.

It was not until Zhao Cong left that Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu had time to sort out their thoughts.

"Faced with a powerful enemy, the deputy general of an army wants to kill the main general, and then the main general wants to kill the deputy general..." Wei Zhuang was unable to continue.

Internal strife also takes time, right?

They were facing the most elite Qin State in the world, and the veteran general Wang Jian!

"I always feel that there is some hidden secret that we don't know about!" Zi Nu said with a frown.

Both Zhao Cong and Yan Ju came from extraordinary backgrounds, and it was impossible for them not to know the consequences of the internal strife at this time.

But they still did it. So what was the reason that made them insist on killing the other party despite the powerful enemy at hand?
Zhao Cong left, but found another killer organization - Luowang!
"Two hundred gold, kill Yan Ju!"

Zhao Cong didn't waste any more words on Luo Wang and spoke directly.

He believed that Luowang would take it.

Because Luowang is not only a killer organization, but also the secret sword of Qin.

Killing Yan Ju would be beneficial to the State of Qin, so Zhao Cong believed that Luo Wang would accept it even if no money was offered.

The fact was just as Zhao Cong expected. Luo Wang took the order without any hesitation.
