In addition to being shocked, Jiang Yichen was speechless. At that moment, he understood who those eyes hidden in the darkness came from.
Kong Yihen lowered his head and hunched over, the height of his head was no more than Jiang Yichen's shoulders, but Jiang Yichen, standing in front of him, felt that he was helplessly insignificant in front of him.
Kong Yihen didn't raise his eyes, but he seemed to see the trembling pupils in Jiang Yichen's eyes, and continued: "Yes, the three people I mentioned, Zhao Qian and Sun, are the three people who are destined to share lunch with you, and they are also the three people you will be traveling with later.
The three people following you are three people who want to use your whereabouts to collect the silver reward from Dishamen. Killing them three will benefit you without any harm. So, do you agree to my request?"
Kong Yihen didn't reveal even a fraction of his inner energy, and just a few words made Jiang Yichen feel so depressed that even breathing was painful.
Jiang Yichen closed his eyes, thoughts rolling through his mind, and he thought of many things at once.
In front of a truly strong man, is he still just an ant that can be kneaded at will?
Are you really going to hurt those three middle-aged men who are just racking their brains and taking risks for the sake of their families' livelihood in order to find out the whereabouts of Nightingale from Kong Yihen?
If he responded to Kong's hatred and killed Zhao, Qian, and Sun, what would be the difference between him and the people he hated, those heinous people?
If he didn't do this, couldn't he rely on his own abilities to find Nightingale or that Young Master Ye Lanxi?
No, he can't handle this.
Jiang Yichen opened his eyes, and in front of him was the rickety body waiting patiently. He was about to refuse, but he heard the body suddenly tremble and laugh loudly.
"Jiejiejie, hahaha!——"
The laughter was shrill and terrifying, as if it came from the underworld, penetrating people's hearts and terrifying.
Presumably the curious creatures still wandering in the dark night will be frightened back to their nests by this laughter. It is also conceivable that during the next day, the streets and alleys will add some spooky and scary words to Jinju City at night.
Jiang Yichen closed his eyes again. In front of Kong Yihen, he was completely at a disadvantage. He was really afraid. He no longer dared to face Kong Yihen's ridicule.
The laughter stopped, and the night seemed to be calm again, but now it was difficult for any creature or thing to dare to make noise easily. After all, no one wanted to become the prey of evil ghosts.
"Since it's so difficult, let's change the conditions." Kong Yihen broke the dead silence of the night.
"Senior, please tell me." After struggling to squeeze out a few numbers from between his teeth, Jiang Yichen calmed down and slowly opened his eyes.
"If you ask the details of Disha Sect from this nightingale, what do you want?" Kong Yi asked hatefully.
"Let the Disha Sect disappear from the world." For Jiang Yichen, this answer did not require any hesitation, but at this time, his answer made people feel that he had lost his firmness and lacked some confidence.
"Okay, remember what you said. I can tell you how to find Nightingale, and I won't ask you to do anything extra. There are seventy-two Disha in the Disha Sect. There are fifty people of all sizes who are still alive today.
, my request is to prevent these fifty people from ever seeing the light of day again, which is no different from your purpose." Kong Yi said hatefully.
Jiang Yichen was startled. He didn't expect Kong Yihen to say that, so he replied unconsciously, "Definitely."
Of course Jiang Yichen couldn't understand Kong Yihen's intention now, but soon after, he knew that the moment he agreed to Kong Yihen, he had taken the first step to become the person he hated.
"Jiejiejie, hahaha!——"
The laughter started again, but Kong Yihen just disappeared under Jiang Yichen's eyes.
Jiang Yichen, who was in shock, could not see how Kong Yihen disappeared. Only Kong Yihen's voice sounded in his ears, "One day you will find that from the moment you set foot on the world, there is no longer right or wrong.
When you swing your sword to kill, there is no longer any good or evil. You will find that you have become an executioner who kills people without blinking an eye, but your heart always clutches at inexplicable excuses to comfort yourself.
It’s just deceiving your own conscience.”
"Will I one day become like the people I hate?" Jiang Yichen said calmly, recalling Kong Yihen's words.
"Senior!" Jiang Yichen suddenly came to his senses and exclaimed, realizing that Kong Yixin hadn't told him how to find Nightingale yet.
The voice in my ears rang again.
"It's past time today. Take this with you to Tinglan Xiaozhu tomorrow at Xu. The nightingale will be there. As for how to find the nightingale, it's up to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, something flew towards him from the darkness.
Jiang Yichen took it in his hand. It was a wooden waist badge. It was carved quite meticulously and had the word "Ting Lan" written on it.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
After being recognized as the suspected murderer by Zhao Qian and Sun, Jiang Yichen had already changed his outfit when he checked into Ye Lai Inn. The purple jade dragon scale sword was wrapped in linen, and he had two more beards on his face, making him look more mature.
In fact, he was no longer wearing white clothes, but was replaced by a gray robe.
Of course, when traveling late at night like last night, he would put on his original attire, so that even if he was seen by others, people would not associate the white-robed swordsman with the gray-robed travelers at the Yelai Inn and attract the attention of interested people.
The next day, it was three o'clock in the morning, and there were still many hours before nightfall. Jiang Yichen would not waste a lot of time doing nothing. Since time gave him the opportunity to find out the way to Tinglan Xiaozhu, he came here in advance.
Maybe there will be unexpected gains in the cutscene?
Tinglan Xiaozhu is located in the bustling downtown area of Jinzhou City, just across the street from the Jinzhou Government Office.
Although it is a small building, the layout of this small building is not small at all. It can even be described as "magnificent".
The facade of the small building is opened at the intersection of two streets, extending from the east and north, each occupying one-third of the length of the mile-long street. It is already a giant in the huge city of Jinzhou. Such a storefront is not only shared by the wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen, but also
It should be possible to do so without the support of the Jinzhou government.
Tinglan Xiaozhu is actually a tiled house with hooks and lanterns. The reason why it is called Xiaozhu is related to its small and elegant architectural structure, and the quiet and quiet environment. Although it is in a noisy place, it can make people calm and peaceful.
I want to step into it and find out.
Looking closely at the details of the building, not only the workmanship is fine, but also brand new. Apart from the daily cleaning, it can also be seen that this Tinglan small building is still new in Jinzhou City. Otherwise, such a magnificent place where elegance and secularity can be enjoyed.
The land will never escape the destruction and bloodbath caused by the Wala migratory locust army more than ten years ago.
Walking inside, he found that the small building was sparsely populated. Jiang Yichen couldn't help but frown in confusion, but it only took him a moment to realize that ordinary people were still busy with their daily lives during the day, and only around nightfall would people arrive.
This would relax him, and only then would he have the chance to look for the talking nightingale.
Stepping further inside, you can already have a panoramic view of the scene inside the small building. If the streets outside are composed of all-inclusive shops, then the small building is composed of more than ten hooked railings inside, and more than ten performances can be performed at the same time.
If there is a good show, even if you come here every day to watch the show or listen to the book, you will never get bored.
Going deep into the middle of the small building, you will arrive at the largest theater in the entire small building. In the middle is the stage. The ten-foot-square stage is enough to accommodate hundreds of people performing on the same stage. There are many other places in Zhongzhou with tiled roofs.
It is rarely on such a grand scale.
Behind the stage is the theater room, with a ghostly doorway for actors to go up and down the stage. The other side is a waist canopy that is raised layer by layer from the inside out, which is where the audience sits. Of course, this is the most common audience seat, and the best among them.
The seat is called Qinglongtou and is located near the exit gate on the left side of the stage.
There is another compartment opposite the stage, which is only for VIPs to sit. It is called the Shenlou.
Of course, the theater was empty at this time, and Jiang Yichen walked in unimpeded. However, when he was walking out, he met an elegant old man in simple clothes, with his hair tied up and wearing a crown.
"I think this young master has just arrived in Jinzhou. He came to Tinglan Xiaozhu early in the morning. He must be very interested in folk arts, acrobatics or storytelling. After observing and watching, the young master must have been excited about the performances that will be performed in the small building.
Confidence, on weekdays, various performances in the small building will start one after another at You hour. Tonight, because there is a wonderful performance in the big theater, it will be half an hour later. It will not be too late for the young master to come back at that time." The elegant old man walked towards Jiang Yichen,
Zuo Yi bowed respectfully and said, "My surname is Tang and my name is Confucianism. I am responsible for taking care of everything in the small building today. If you need help, please feel free to call me."
"Oh, I am indeed visiting Jinzhou for the first time. I am also very interested in storytelling and opera, so I can't wait to come here to visit Tinglan Xiaozhu, which is famous in and around Jinzhou." Jiang Yichen returned the greeting and took out the
Kong Yi hated the wooden waist tag given to him, "Since Mr. Tang is one of the managers of the small building, I would like to ask why this waist tag is used?"
When Jiang Yichen took out his waist card, Tang Ru had already seen clearly what was in his hand, but when Jiang Yichen opened his mouth, he didn't know why it was used, and he couldn't help but frown.
