Anthology of Gu Long: End of the World, Bright Moon, Knife

Chapter 26
Standing by the carved railing on the Dengxian Tower, Hu Kun was very satisfied with everything.

This is a noble and dignified place, with gorgeous decoration and exquisite utensils. Every table and chair is made of high-quality nanmu, and the bowls and cups are made of porcelain from Jingdezhen in the south of the Yangtze River.

Most of the people who come here to taste tea and drink are noble and dignified guests.

Although the price here is at least twice as high as anywhere else in the city, he knows that these people don't care, because "luxury" itself is a kind of enjoyment.

Usually he always likes to stand here, watching these noble and dignified people walk around under his crotch, which makes him feel that he is always on top.

Although he is less than five feet tall, this feeling always makes him feel that he is a head taller than anyone else.

So he likes this feeling.

He also likes nobleness and grandeur, just as he likes power.

The only thing that annoyed him a little was that desperate Du Shiqi.

This man would not die when he drank, he would not die when he gambled, and he would not die when fighting, as if he really had nine lives.

"Even if he really has nine lives, I will never let him survive the first day of next month."

Hu Kun has already made up his mind, and has a very careful plan.

It's a pity that he is not absolutely sure of success.

Thinking of this matter, he always felt a little upset, but fortunately at this moment, the person he was waiting for had arrived.

The person he was waiting for was called Tu Qing, who he had paid 3 taels of silver to invite from the capital to kill Du Shiqi.

The name of Tu Qing is not well-known in the arena, because what he does does not allow him to be too famous.

What he wants is not fame, but wealth.

He is an assassin specially hired to kill people, and the price for each mission is at least 3 taels.

This is an ancient and mysterious industry, in which ostentation and publicity are absolutely taboo.

In their own circle, Tu Qing was undoubtedly a celebrity, and he demanded a higher price than others.

Because he never misses when he kills!
Tu Qing was seven feet tall, dark and thin, with a pair of burning eyes as sharp as an eagle.

His clothes, though noble in material and well cut, were not brightly colored.

His attitude was calm and composed, and he was carrying a long and narrow gray-colored bundle in his hand.

His hands are dry and steady.

All these fit his identity very well, making people feel that no matter how high the price is, it is worth it!
Hu Kun was obviously very satisfied with all of this.

Tu Qing had found a seat in the corner and sat down without even looking up.

His actions must be kept secret, and absolutely no one will be able to see any relationship between him and Hu Kun, let alone why he came here.

Hu Kun exhaled, and was about to go back to the back room to have a drink or two, when suddenly he saw a pale stranger walking in, walking in a strange and strange posture, holding a knife tightly in his hand.

Dark knife!The knife is still in the sheath, but his person is like a knife out of the sheath, cruel and sharp.

His gaze was also like a knife's edge, he glanced around and fixed on Tu Qing.Tu Qing lowered his head to drink tea.

With a sneer on his lips, the stranger took a seat nearby.

Suddenly, with a sound of "chi", a good nanmu chair was broken by him.

He frowned, put his hands on the table, and suddenly there was another "chuck", and a nanmu table worth at least 20 taels of silver was also shattered into pieces out of thin air.

Now anyone could see that he was looking for trouble!
Hu Kun's pupils are shrinking.

——Is this person Du Shiqi invited from other places to deal with him?

His bodyguards and thugs were about to rush out, but Hu Kun stopped them with gestures.

He had seen that this stranger was not something they could handle!

Since Tu Qing has come, why not take this opportunity to try his kung fu first?

Hu Kun is a businessman, and he is a very shrewd businessman. He hopes to get back the price for every tael he pays.

What's more, this stranger might not be looking for him, but Tu Qing.

This stranger was of course Fu Hongxue.

Tu Qing was still drinking tea with his head down.

Fu Hongxue walked over suddenly, and said coldly, "Get up."

Tu Qing didn't move, and didn't speak, but most of the other guests had already slipped away quietly.

Fu Hongxue repeated again: "Stand up."

Tu Qing finally raised his head, as if he just saw this person: "Sitting is more comfortable than standing, why should I stand up?"

Fu Hongxue said, "Because I like your chair."

Tu Qing looked at him, slowly put down the teacup, slowly stretched out his hand, and picked up the bundle on the table.

Undoubtedly, the baggage was his murderous weapon.

Hu Kun clenched his hands tightly, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He likes to watch people kill people, he likes to watch people bleed.

In the past five years, there are not many things that can excite him, not even women. Killing is the only thing he still finds exciting.But he was disappointed.

Tu Qing had already stood up, picked up the bag, and walked away silently - he was always cautious in his actions, and of course he would never make a move in front of so many people.

Hu Kun suddenly said: "Today, the shop closes early. Except for those who come to me for something, please feel free." So those who wanted to watch the fun had to leave, and suddenly there were only two people left in the hall——Tu Qingdi Drinking tea with his head down, Fu Hongxue raised his head and stared at Hu Kun behind the carved railing upstairs.

Hu Kun said: "You need me for something?"

Fu Hongxue said, "You are Hu Kun?"

Hu Kun nodded and said with a sneer, "If Du Shiqi asks you to come and kill me, you've found the right person."

Fu Hongxue said, "If you want to find someone to kill Du Shiqi, you have found the right person."

Hu Kun was obviously surprised: "You?"

Fu Hongxue said, "I don't look like a murderer?"

Hu Kun said: "Do you have enmity?"

Fu Hongxue said, "Killing people doesn't necessarily mean hatred."

Hu Kun said: "What do you usually kill people for?"

Fu Hongxue said, "For joy."

Hu Kun said: "How can I make you happy?"

Fu Hongxue said: "Tens of thousands of taels of silver usually make me very happy."

There was light in Hu Kun's eyes, and he said:
"I can make you happy, kill Du Shiqi for me today?"

Fu Hongxue said: "It is said that you are not a stingy person."

Hu Kun said: "Are you sure you can kill him?"

Fu Hongxue said: "I guarantee that he will definitely not survive the first day of next month."

Hu Kun smiled: "I am also very happy to make my friends happy, but it's a pity that you came a step late."

Fu Hongxue said, "Have you found someone else?"

Hu Kun glanced at Tu Qing out of the corner of his eye, and nodded with a smile.

Fu Hongxue said coldly: "If you are looking for this person, you are looking for the wrong person."

Hu Kun said: "Oh?"

Fu Hongxue said: "The dead cannot kill."

Hu Kun said: "Is he dead?"

Fu Hongxue said: "If it's not a dead person, you should kill me now."

Hu Kun said: "Why?"

Fu Hongxue said: "Because if you can't make me happy, I will definitely go to find Du Shiqi."

Hu Kun said: "If you go to find Du Shiqi, you will make Du Shiqi be wary of him."

Fu Hongxue said, "I will help Du Shiqi kill him."

Hu Kun said: "Kill him first, and then kill me."

Fu Hongxue said, "Du Shiqi is alive, so you must die."

Hu Kun said: "So he should kill you now."

Fu Hongxue said: "It's a pity that the dead don't kill people!"

Hu Kun sighed, turned to Tu Qing, and said, "Did you hear what he said?"

Tu Qing said: "I'm not deaf."

Hu Kun said: "Why don't you kill him?"

Tu Qing said: "I'm not happy."

Hu Kun said: "How can I make you happy?"

Tu Qing said: "5 taels."

Hu Kun seemed taken aback, and said, "It only costs [-] yuan to kill Du Shiqi, and [-] yuan to kill him?"

Tu Qing said: "Du Shiqi doesn't know me, he does!"

Hu Kun said: "So, you can plot against Du Shiqi, but you cannot plot against him."

Tu Qing said: "And he has a knife in his hand, so I'm taking a bigger risk."

Hu Kun said: "But you are still sure that you can kill him."

Tu Qing said coldly: "I have never missed a murder!"

Hu Kun exhaled, and said, "Okay, if you kill him, I'll give you 5 taels."

Tu Qing said: "Pay first and kill later."

Brand new bank notes, 1000 taels each, fifty in total.

Tu Qing had already counted twice, like a miser, counted twice with his finger dipped in saliva, then wrapped it in a square scarf, and put it in the money bag tied around his waist.

The money earned with blood and sweat is always worth cherishing. Although he seldom sweats when making money, he often bleeds.

Of course blood is more precious than sweat!
Fu Hongxue looked at him coldly, with no expression on his face, but Hu Kun was smiling, and suddenly said, "You must already be a very rich man."

Tu Qing did not deny it.

Hu Kun said: "Are you married?"

Tu Qing shook his head.

Hu Kun's smile was more friendly, and he said, "Why don't you deposit the money with me, and I will pay you the interest, three percent interest."

Tu Qing shook his head again.

Hu Kun said: "Aren't you willing? Don't you trust me?"

Tu Qing said coldly: "The only person I trust is myself."

He patted the money pouch under his clothes: "All my property is here, and there is only one way to take it away!"

Of course Hu Kun didn't dare to ask, but his eyes were like asking: "What method?"

Tu Qing said: "Kill me!"

He stared at Hu Kun: "It belongs to whoever killed me, so you might as well try."

Hu Kun smiled, forced a smile: "You know I won't try, because..."

Tu Qing said coldly, "Because you don't have the courage."

He suddenly turned to Fu Hongxue: "What about you? If I kill you, what do you have for me?"

Fu Hongxue said: "There is only one lesson."

Tu Qing said: "What lesson?"

Fu Hongxue said: "Don't pack the killing weapon in your baggage. Those who want to kill and those who are about to be killed have no patience. They will never wait for you to untie the burden."

Tu Qing said: "This is a very good lesson, I will always keep it in my heart."

He suddenly smiled, and said again: "Actually, I am also impatient. If I want to wait until the burden is untied before killing someone, I will definitely be extremely anxious."

He finally stretched out his hand to untie the burden—what kind of weapon is in this burden?
Hu Kun really wanted to see what kind of weapon he was using, so his eyes couldn't help but stare at the burden.

Who knows that the burden has not been untied yet, Tu Qing has already made a move.His killing weapon is not in this package, he has killing weapons all over his body.Hearing the sound of "呀", seven cold lights flew out from his belt and sleeves at the same time, three crossbows with tight backs and flowers were shot from behind his collar, he shot out a handful of iron lotus seeds with both hands, and two sharp knives jumped from his toes. out.

When the hidden weapon was released, his men also jumped up, and the kidnapper kicked out in a row. At this moment, he had used four deadly weapons.His eye-catching baggage is still well placed on the table.This was really unexpected, even Hu Kun was taken aback, and this move alone was worth his 5 taels.

He believed that Tu Qing would never miss this time, but he was wrong, because he still didn't know that this pale stranger was Fu Hongxue.

Fu Hongxue had drawn his saber.

The unparalleled sword in the world, the incredible sword technique.

No matter how vicious the hidden weapon, no matter how complicated the trick, meeting this knife is like ice and snow falling into the sun.

With a flash of the knife, a series of soft rings like golden bells, the hidden weapons all over the sky fell to the ground, and every hidden weapon was cut off, all interrupted from the middle, even if a skilled craftsman carefully cut each piece with a small knife, it may not be so. accurate.

Only after the light of the knife disappeared did he see the blood.The blood is running down the face!
Tu Qing's face.

A knife edge was cut from between his eyebrows and across the tip of his nose. As long as he used a little more force, his head would undoubtedly be cut in half.

The knife is sheathed.

Blood flowed from the tip of the nose and flowed into the lips, hot, salty and bitter.Every muscle on Tu Qing's face was already twitching in pain, but his body didn't move; he knew that his career as a murderer was over.

This is a secret industry that kills silently and disappears silently.

No matter who has such a prominent scar on his face, he is definitely not suitable for this business anymore.

Fu Hongxue looked at the scar, suddenly waved his hand, and said, "Let's go."

Tu Qing's lips were also twitching: "Where are you going?"

Fu Hongxue said: "As long as you don't kill people, you can go anywhere."

Tu Qing said: "You...why didn't you kill me?"

Fu Hongxue said: "You must have 5 taels before you are willing to kill me. If I want to kill you, you must have at least 5 taels."

He continued coldly: "I never kill people for free."

Tu Qing said: "But I have more than [-] on me. If you kill me, it will be yours."

Fu Hongxue said, "That's a different matter. My rule is to collect money first and then kill people."

Rules are principles.

No matter what kind of industry you are in, people who can be successful must be people with principles.

Tu Qing didn't speak anymore, and silently took out two stacks of banknotes from the money bag, a stack of fifty bills.

He counted them twice again, placed them on the table, and looked up at Hu Kun: "This is still yours."

Hu Kun was coughing.

Tu Qing said: "You can pay him 5 taels and tell him to kill me."

Hu Kun stopped coughing suddenly: "How much do you have?"

Tu Qing kept his mouth shut.

Hu Kun stared at him, his eyes glowed again.

Tu Qing had already lifted the burden on the table, and walked out slowly!

Hu Kun suddenly said loudly: "Kill him, I will pay 5 taels."

Fu Hongxue said coldly: "If you want to kill this person, you have to do it yourself."

Hu Kun said: "Why?"

Fu Hongxue said: "Because he has already been injured and has no power to fight back."

Hu Kun gripped the railing tightly with both hands, and suddenly heard a sound of "Du", and three throwing knives were nailed to the railing.

The throwing knife was taken out of the bag, which also had weapons for killing people.

Tu Qing said coldly: "I never kill people for free, but for you, I can make an exception once, do you want to try?"

Hu Kun's expression had already changed.

He really couldn't figure out how many weapons there were in this baggage, and how many kinds of weapons Tu Qing had on him!
But he has seen that no matter what kind of weapon, as long as there is one, it is enough to kill him.

Tu Qing finally walked out, and when he reached the door, he turned his head and stared at Fu Hongxue, and at the knife in Fu Hongxue's hand, as if he had never seen such a person, nor had he seen such a knife.

He suddenly asked, "What's your surname?"

Fu Hongxue said, "The surname is Fu."

Tu Qing said, "Fu Hongxue?"

Fu Hongxue said, "Yes."

Tu Qing sighed softly, and said, "Actually, I should have thought about who you are a long time ago."

Fu Hongxue said, "But you didn't think about it?"

Tu Qing said: "I dare not think about it."

Fu Hongxue said, "Don't you dare?"

Tu Qing said: "If a person thinks too much, he won't kill people."

It was already dark outside the door, with no stars and no moon, as soon as Tu Qing walked out, he disappeared into the darkness.

Hu Kun let out a long breath, and murmured: "Why didn't you kill him? Don't you fear that he will reveal your secret?"

Fu Hongxue said, "I have no secret."

Hu Kun said, "Don't tell me you don't want to kill Du Shiqi anymore?"

Fu Hongxue said, "It's not a secret that I killed people."

Hu Kun sighed again, and said: "There are 8 taels of silver bills on the table. Kill Du Shiqi, these are all yours!"

Fu Hongxue said: "Pay first and kill later."

Hu Kun forced a smile and said, "You can take it now."

Fu Hongxue picked up the banknote, counted it twice, and then asked slowly, "Do you know where Du Shiqi is?"

Of course Hu Kun knew: "In order to track down his whereabouts, I have already spent 5000 taels."

Fu Hongxue said lightly, "Killing people is a luxury."

Hu Kun sighed, watched him put the banknote into his arms, and suddenly asked: "Isn't it a secret that you killed someone?"

Fu Hongxue said, "No!"

Hu Kun said: "Aren't you afraid of killing people in public?"

Fu Hongxue said, "You can kill people no matter where you are."

Hu Kun smiled, really smiled: "Then you can go to him now."
