In fact, since his debut, Chu Qing has lived in three places, the court in the capital, the military camp at the border, and the ruined city in the East China Sea.
Whether it's the court or the military camp, there are people and things in front of you.
But Chu Qing didn't know that in ancient times, there were some people and things that he thought existed, but turned out not to actually exist, and that was the killer.
There are also people called assassins, which have nothing to do with ice cream and sharing, they are real assassins.
This kind of assassin is not the blind bully like Li Sen or the blind bully Zhao Bao Dan or the bad guy Wu Yong before, but a real assassin, an assassin whose profession is to kill people and make money.
In the huge Zhongzhou, there are many people who want Chu Qing dead, but most of them don't dare, because many people who want Chu Qing dead, Chu Qing is not dead yet, they have already died without anything to do.
If you ask where people most want Chu Qing to die, it must be the East China Sea, because Chu Qing's people are in the East China Sea.
Xiang Lin, a very common name, but his aliases and nicknames are not ordinary, such as Drilling Rat, Tu Gongzi, Lu Yaksha, etc. He is relatively average, but all the desperadoes who hang out in the East China Sea have heard of this person.
Xiang Lin is an assassin, to be precise, a killer and a freelancer.
Half a month ago, he took on a big job. There was a series of lists, many names, and the names of the heads on them were worth thousands of gold.
The one at the top of the list is naturally the living beast Chu Qin from Changjing. As long as he can kill Chu Qin, he will be rewarded with five hundred thousand coins!
This is an astronomical sum of money. Not to mention in the East China Sea, even in the Chang Dynasty, no one's head is so valuable in the land of Zhongzhou.
Third brother is also on the list, 300,000 yuan.
Ranked third is Tao Weiran with 200,000 guan, followed by Nangong Ping with 150,000 guan, and then Brother Dajun, Lin Hai, Xiao Yi and others. Almost everyone around Chu Qing is on the list.
At the bottom of the list is Tao Shaozhang, the young minister of Dali Temple, who offers a reward of one hundred guan. He is a person who can be killed or not.
Moreover, when writing this one hundred strings, the pen and ink was very light, and it can be inferred that the person who wrote this list seemed to be hesitant at the time, hesitating whether to write Tao Shaozhang's name, or hesitating whether to write Tao Shaozhang's name.
Offer such a "high" bounty of one hundred guan.
Almost all the people who are close to Chu Qing are on the list. It can be seen that the person who provided this list hates Chu Qing so much that even if he does not kill Chu Qing, he will kill the people around him.
Qing was heartbroken.
After Chu Qing arrived in Taizhou City, everyone in the three areas of the East China Sea knew about it, and Xiang Lin also knew that he was from the East China Sea and had been lurking in the Guocheng area, observing from a distance.
Xiang Lin is very skilled. Even though he is only in his early thirties, he has been doing this shady business with his master since he was fifteen years old. He is very good at it. In the past fifteen years, he has assassinated more than thirty people and never failed.
Lying down in the grass outside the dense forest, you can blend into the forest and the surrounding environment.
He has already thought about it. After finishing this job, he will retire early, enjoy life, buy a house, and become a rich man. This is his last decision.
But Xiang Lin didn't know that usually people who want to be the last vote are willing to give in to the last vote. For things like flags, whoever wins will be unlucky.
However, even if Xiang Lin knew that setting the flag would bring misfortune, he would not give up. Just like many unlucky people, they all thought that they would not be unlucky and would do the final job and retire with success.
Xiang Lin, who had been secretly watching for nearly ten days, knew that Chu Qing had gone to sea, but this was the opportunity he was waiting for.
His target was still Chu Qing, but instead of killing Chu Qing with his own hands, he wanted to take hostages.
There are many masters around Chu Qing, and Cuiyu, Zhao Baodan, and He Jizhen are all experts in doing some evil things.
The reason why these people didn't discover Xiang Lin was precisely because Xiang Lin had a "magic weapon."
This magic weapon was obtained accidentally by him. It was a long bamboo tube with a small, crystal clear round mirror inside. Through this bamboo mirror, one could see far away with great clarity.
If it weren't for this "magic weapon", Xiang Lin would have been caught out by Chu Qing's friends.
Xiang Lin observed for a long time, and through the bamboo mirror he could see that Chu Qing took Fu San for a walk on the beach every day, but Xiang Lin could not make a move every time.
Because he found that no matter where Chu Qing went, there was always a "circle" around him. This circle was very large, consisting of a group of veterans who looked like they had fought many battles and a group of barbarians. They were far apart, at least twenty people.
This circle may seem loose, but in fact there is no loophole to exploit.
It's not that Xiang Lin is particularly taboo about those old pawns and fanmen. It's mainly because there are two people who didn't appear on the list that he doesn't dare to take risks.
These two people looked like brothers. They didn't walk like normal people. One was leaning back and looking at people with his chin, and the other was hunched over, as if he was about to lie down on the ground at any moment.
One night, Xiang Lin saw clearly that the two of them went to catch fish. One of them, a half-idiot, fished out a fish in the sea. The fish jumped out of the sea, and then the other half-idiot punched out, and the fish...
Broken.
Xiang Lin could see clearly through the bamboo mirror that the fish was so broken and torn apart by a punch.
What made Xiang Lin feel even more chilled was that the other half-idiot seemed to be angry, and the two idiots started fighting. The other idiot actually stood in the water, lifted the boat up, and hit the other person on the head.
And then...the boat fell apart, and the half-idiot who got hit didn't have anything to do with it.
Finally, a beautiful woman stood on the beach and cursed loudly, and then the two fools lowered their heads and left.
With these two idiots always hanging around Chu Qing, Xiang Lin had no confidence that he couldn't beat even one of them, let alone two of them.
Eventually, Xiang Lin changed his plan.
Chu Qing was protected by someone and he went to sea. It would be difficult to kill Chu Qing, but it would be much easier if he could catch someone else and lure Chu Qing to the bait.
There is no bottom line in the profession of a capable killer. Which killer is always shown on TV and has principles, such as not killing women, not killing children, etc. This is complete nonsense. If there really is a bottom line, how can he do this business of getting paid to kill people?
Xiang Lin is a person with no bottom line, so his target is women, three women.
He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
After observing Chu Qing for so long, Xiang Lin envied Chu Qing. He was always surrounded by people who were like gods.
Xiang Lin sneered in his heart, Chu Qing used a lot of precautions to protect himself, but he didn't care about the woman around him at all. He didn't even send anyone to protect her, which gave him an opportunity.
As night fell, three women walked on the beach, talking and laughing.
Xiang Lin was a little regretful that the woman Chu Qing was closest to was not here, but it didn't matter. There was only one chance, and he had to seize it.
Moving his body slowly, Xiang Lin was wearing black night clothes, completely blending into the night. The long sword attached to his waist had hidden the soul-stirring cold light.
The three women walking in front did not know that a snake-like killer was getting closer and closer to them.
