Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 44 The Peerless Swordsman

"Shopkeeper Zhou, please stop." A middle-aged businessman bowed his fists and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, I'm really sorry."

Zhou Chong clasped his fists in return, and said, "Shopkeeper Min's words are serious. Shopkeeper Min, let's go."

Shopkeeper Min warned, "Shopkeeper Zhou, please arrange for the goods I want. I'm in a hurry."

Zhou Chong nodded and said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper Min, there will be no mistakes in this matter, and I will prepare it for you on time."

"Treasurer Zhou promises a lot, never makes excuses, and is well-known among our businessmen. If all businessmen are like you, our business will be much easier." Shopkeeper Min said with a sigh.

"If you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to do anything? With just one mouth, I persuaded so many businessmen to 'take shares' in Sibaozhai. Once the funds are available, we can produce as many goods as we want." Zhou Chong was quite worried in his heart. Thinking happily, he said modestly: "Business is based on reputation. If words are not counted, who will do business with Zhou Chong."

Shopkeeper Min cupped his fists and said, "Good advice, Shopkeeper Zhou. Farewell." He turned and left.

After seeing off shopkeeper Min, Zhou Chong returned to Sibaozhai with a shop assistant.As soon as he arrived at Sibaozhai, a store clerk surnamed Qi came quickly and said, "Boss shopkeeper, you are finally back."

Judging from his tone, seeing Zhou Chong seemed to be seeing a savior. Zhou Chong was very strange and asked, "What happened?"

"Congratulations to the treasurer, the business is here, a big deal, a big deal." The clerk surnamed Qi kept congratulating, his face was full of joy, and said: "With the way the big shopkeeper did, the small ones can get a few rewards." gone."

Zhou Chong was a little afraid to agree with his statement in his heart, thinking: "What kind of reward is it called a bonus." He said with a smile: "Business is booming, everyone has credit, and this reward should be there. Where is the person?"

"Go back to the shopkeeper, just inside, waiting for the big shopkeeper in the hall." The clerk surnamed Qi quickly replied.

Zhou Chong said to them: "Go ahead." He strode into the hall and saw a big man sitting on a chair.This big man's figure is very strong, he can be called five big and three thick, with a thick back and a waist, and he is dressed in a coarse cloth kudzu clothes. From the clothes alone, he looks a bit old-fashioned.But Zhou Chong didn't dare to have this kind of thought, because this big man had a unique temperament, Zhou Chong had never seen this kind of temperament before, it should be called tiger spirit, tiger and tiger anger.

Clasping his fists together, Zhou Chong said, "Zhou Chong has met the shopkeeper before, how dare you ask the shopkeeper's name?"

This is a polite meeting word. Logically, this person should put down the teacup in his hand and stand up to salute. I don't know what he did, the lid twirled in the air, and said: "People in the mountains and fields have no names and no surnames. Shopkeeper Zhou doesn't need to ask."

His voice was very cold, as if it came from the Jiuyou Difu, and it was very cold. Zhou Chong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Zhou Chong should be sensible and not ask the shopkeeper. But this business is not easy to do. Whoever sends the goods from my shop must have a name. Please forgive me, the shopkeeper."

I don't know how he did it, the lid in his hand seemed to come alive, drawing an arc in the air, and it was accurately covered on the teacup, making a very slight sound, if Zhou Chong's hearing was not good, he would have heard it at all. not come out.

Zhou Chong is also a man of knowledge, knowing that even if it is juggling, it is impossible to do it without a lot of hard work, so he blurted out praise: "Good skill!"

The big man stood up and looked at Zhou Chong.Only then did Zhou Chong see his appearance clearly, with a purple face, big and bright eyes, very clear, as transparent as clear spring water.Thick eyebrows are like swords, inserted obliquely into the temples, very mighty.

A sword is worn on the waist, and the bright red silk flutters slightly, which is particularly conspicuous.There is a pearl on the hilt, shining brightly.The scabbard was antique and very old, Zhou Chong knew that it was a high-quality scabbard made of shark skin.No need to think about it, his saber must be a precious sword.

Seeing his attire clearly, Zhou Chong immediately thought of a term: swordsman!To have such a famous swordsman must be a peerless swordsman!

Since Zhou Chong raised a large amount of capital, Sibaozhai's business has grown bigger and bigger, and it has become more and more prosperous. It's just that he hasn't interacted with people in the world, and he doesn't care about black and white. Chong kept beating drums in his heart, clasped his fists again, and said: "Zhou Chong has little knowledge and doesn't know the heroes of the world, so please forgive me. Zhou Chong is bold, dare to ask the hero's name."

The big man finally clasped his fists together and said, "Thank you shopkeeper Zhou for your compliment, I don't dare to be a strong man." After looking at Zhou Chong for a while, he nodded and said, "Look at you, you are quite decent. Well, let me tell you, my surname is Sikong, and I have a single name. An English word."

"Sikongying? During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many swordsmen. Those famous swordsmen, such as Nie Zheng, Zhuan Zhu, Jing Ke, Yao Li, Zhu Hai, and Hou Ying, are all famous people. I am familiar with their deeds, but I have never heard of them. After a swordsman like Si Kongying, maybe he is a more noble hermit than Nie Zheng and the others." Zhou Chong searched his memory to find out who Si Kongying was, but he didn't know anything, so he clasped his fists and said: " It turned out to be the hero Sikong, Zhou Chong is really lucky to meet the hero!"

Sikongying looked at Zhou Chong, and said after a long time: "I, Sikongying, have killed people like hemp all my life, and I don't know how many people have died under my sword. But these people are all people who deserve to be killed, and they are all unforgivable crimes. Like you In this way, you are the first person to die under my sword without any mistakes."

To him, killing people may mean killing too much. It is very common to say that Zhou Chong feels more relaxed than drinking tea.

A gust of cold air rushed straight to the top door, Zhou Chong blurted out: "You and I have never met before, why did you kill me? Have I offended you?"

Si Kongying shook his head and said, "That's not true."

Zhou Chong knew that someone like him said that if he wanted to kill himself, he must do it. Now that he has reached the critical point of life and death, he argued anxiously: "I abide by the law in public and have not disturbed the laws of the country. Even if I do illegal things, it should be handled by the government. It's not your turn. You are so indiscriminately killing innocent people, you are unjustly called chivalrous."

Si Kongying nodded again, and said: "You are right, you are a good law-abiding citizen, and you have never done anything wrong to me. I can't bear to kill you, it insults my reputation as a hero, and I have no choice but to kill you." Kill. Kill, sometimes you know you are a good person, but you have to kill!" He bowed deeply to Zhou Chong and said, "I'm sorry, shopkeeper Zhou." With his left hand, he grabbed Zhou Chong's corset and grabbed Zhou Chong like a chicken. Standing up, he drew out a sharp sword with his right hand and put it on Zhou Chong's neck.

Zhou Chong's weight of more than 100 kilograms is as easy as four taels of cotton in his hands, and he can ignore it.Zhou Chong only felt an irresistible force pressing on him, and he couldn't even breathe.Looking at the sharp sword on his neck, which was shining coldly, Zhou Chong was really a dead soul.

"For you, I can make an exception and help you fulfill a wish. If there is anything else you are worried about, I will help you complete it." A trace of pity flashed in Sikong Ying's eyes.

Zhou Chong blurted out, "It's not impossible if you want me to die, but let me die to understand. What did I do wrong? You have to give me a reason."

"You didn't do anything wrong, you didn't do anything wrong. On the contrary, what you did has made great contributions to the world, it's just that you didn't do it at the right time." Si Kongying said helplessly: "A person like you who thinks ingeniously, I I admire you very much, and I really want to be friends with you, but I, Si Kongying, do not have this blessing, so I can only kill you."

Zhou Chong was heartbroken, spat on his face, and cursed: "You duplicity outlaw! Even if I were a ghost, I wouldn't let you go."

Si Kongying didn't get angry, smiled wryly, and said: "Forget it, let you understand. The reason why I killed you is because of what you are doing now."

"What did I do again?" Zhou Chong asked himself that he had a clear conscience, and said, "I have a clear conscience!"
