Chapter 45 Friends
Long Qie looked at Wu Nian, then turned to look at Tieniu around him. Wang Gui and others were deeply touched. After thinking for a moment, he put the knife wrapped in cloth on the table.
There was a "click" sound.
Wu Nian and others didn't even glance at the long package, they just stared at Long Qie.
They had already seen that it was a knife.
"My ancestral home is in Guangchuan Prefecture, and my family has been running a boxing gym for generations. Five years ago, the Meng Yuan people went south and attacked Guangchuan Prefecture. My whole family was killed by the Meng Yuan people."
Long Qie's expression was very calm, but his eyes were gradually becoming bloodshot, and his voice was slightly trembling. His hands were clenched into fists, with veins showing on the backs of his hands.
Wu Nian and others fell silent. Their simple words contained endless hatred.
The man in front of me is like a volcano.
It looks calm, but inside it is turbulent.
Wu Nian also roughly understood what Long Qie meant.
"I survived by luck and fled to Dingxian County with my fellow villagers. I taught people to practice boxing and did some shady business at the same time. In order to save money, I could raise troops to fight against the Mongolian people."
Long Qie gradually calmed down, raised his head and looked at Wu Nian and said.
"Someone asked you to kill me?" Wu Nian's tone was very calm.
"Yes. Someone offered you two hundred dollars to buy your life." Long Qie nodded and said simply.
Tieniu, Wang Gui and others tensed their bodies and stared at Long Qie, as if Long Qie would go on a rampage and kill someone the next moment.
Wu Nian was very calm.
When a killer reveals his identity and purpose, he is no longer a killer.
"I dare to kill anyone, scholars, military households, common people, wealthy businessmen and even officials. But I will not kill people like you."
"Brother, train your troops well. I think the Mongolians will soon attack Liaodong in an all-out way. Beishan Fort is not safe."
After saying that, Long Qie picked up the knife on the table, stood up and walked towards the door. Tieniu and others glanced at Wu Nian and saw that Wu Nian did not move, so they did not stop him.
"By the way, brother. If you have any difficulties, you can come to Dingxian to find me." Having said this, Long Qie reported his address, then left the kitchen, strode away from the Wu family, and left Beishan Fort.
"Sir Xiaoqi, this person is by no means a good person, but he is a man and a hero." Li Yong was silent for a moment and then said with emotion.
The others nodded.
Wu Nian also admitted that Long Qie was a man, but he thought more of himself.
"What a success. I actually paid two hundred dollars to hire a killer. Long Qie is a professional boxer and a veteran of the martial arts world. Even if we fight, I may not lose. But..."
Wu Nian narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
We can't delay it any longer, we must get rid of him.
"Lao Li, Tieniu, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng. Let me tell you straight, I want to kill Cheng Gao. Can you help me?"
Wu Nian raised his head, looked around at everyone present, and said in a deep voice.
The four people looked at each other without any hesitation. Li Yong took the lead and nodded heavily: "Okay."
Wu Nian's face showed a look of relief, these are real brothers.
"Old Li, Wang Gui. You two don't need to protect me anymore. Just watch Cheng Gao's every move and look for opportunities."
Wu Nian glanced at the two of them, then raised his head to Tieniu and said loudly: "You two will continue to follow me every step of the way."
"yes."
Everyone responded in unison.
Immediately, Li Yong and Wang Gui packed up their belongings, returned to their homes, and followed Wu Nian's order to start keeping a close eye on Cheng Gao.
"Brothers, let's go see Cheng Gao." Wu Nian straightened his clothes, stood up and said with his head held high.
"This..." Tieniu Zhang Sheng was surprised.
Tieniu asked in confusion: "Master Xiaoqi, he wants to kill you, why are you going to see him?"
"It doesn't matter. He has hired a killer to kill me, which proves that he will never dare to kill me in broad daylight. I will laugh at him."
Wu Nian sneered and strode out of the kitchen.
Tieniu and Zhang Sheng looked at each other and felt convinced, and followed him in big strides.
The three men came to the door of Cheng Gao's house in an aggressive manner. The concierge of Cheng Gao's house also recognized Wu Nian and quickly called for people to come over and confront the three men.
Wu Nian did not know these slaves, and said in a deep voice: "Go and tell Cheng Gao that I, Wu Nian, want to see him."
"Wait." The concierge saw that Wu Nian was very energetic, so he shrank his neck, left two words, and hurried to report.
Back house.
Cheng Gao was having fun with his beautiful concubine Chen.
This Mrs. Chen was only fifteen years old, and she was originally a girl from a brothel. She was attracted by him, bought her, and became his concubine in the eighth house. She was very favored.
The three-hundred-guan deal was concluded, and Cheng Gao was in a good mood, just waiting for Wu Nian's head to fall.
"Master, Wu Nian brought Tieniu and came to the door of our house aggressively with a loud voice, saying that he wanted to see you."
The concierge hurriedly broke in and reported.
Cheng Gao's hand suddenly froze, showing a look of surprise and uncertainty.
Could it be that the matter was exposed?
impossible.
Cheng Gao took a deep breath, composed himself, and said in a deep voice: "No."
"yes."
The concierge responded and hurriedly turned back to the door.
"Let's go. Our master said he won't see you." The porter stood in front of a group of married servants and waved his hand.
This was as expected by Wu Nian. He put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "Cheng Gao. Do you have the guts to do it, but don't you have the guts to come out to see me?"
"You spent 200 yuan to bribe a charlatan to kill me. The matter has been exposed."
"The killer respected me as a human being. Not only did he not kill me, he also made friends with me. You didn't expect it, didn't you?"
Wu Nian was right at the gate, yelling and scolding loudly, and laughing to his heart's content.
His loud voice immediately attracted the attention of the neighbors, who came out to watch.
"Is what this kid said true?"
"It's possible. Have you forgotten? This guy led his soldiers to rebel against the general banner and seize food."
"It's a mess, it's a mess. The soldiers want to rebel against the general flag, and the general flag asks a killer to kill Xiao Qi. It's just a mess."
This incident soon spread throughout Beishan Fort, and military households discussed it a lot.
Cheng Gao hired a killer, but the killing was not done yet. When the matter was revealed, Wu Nian blocked the door of Cheng Gao's house and almost scolded him.
Not to mention Cheng Gao's reputation plummeted, he even lost his face.
From now on, you must cover your face with a cloth when you go out to meet people.
The slaves in front of the gate of Cheng Mansion looked at Wu Nian who was yelling and swearing, and looked at each other without daring to take action.
In the back house.
Cheng Gao's face turned green.
He slapped his concubine and knocked her to the ground. He wanted to go out and scold Wu Nian several times, but he didn't dare.
This is getting darker and darker.
What made him even more angry was...
He clearly paid three hundred dollars to buy Wu Nian's life.
Now Wu Nian says two hundred guan.
Wu Yuan, the leader of his family soldiers, actually received a kickback?
