Ultimate Assassin System - v3 Chapter 1025
Maybe some ridiculous truth sounds pessimistic and realistic, but countless examples have been proven time and again, that is indeed true–
For example, no matter how honorable your status, amazing wealth, and horrible strength you were during your lifetime, how much you are admired in the eyes of the world and how unattainable you are, but when you are wiped out, that is, death in the popular sense, All of the above will just go with the wind and naturally be replaced by the ruthless ones … at most, your grave will be more magnificent than others!
That’s the truth!
Frankly speaking, whoever is missing in this world will operate normally. ≥ top ≥ point ≥ small ≥ said,
and so,
When, the hustle and bustle is endless. Dust and return!
…………
A month later, in the north, Shanhai City.
In the morning, a negligible tavern in a neighborhood. When the shock rang, the wooden door was pushed open, and the bold and laughter passed in before a burly figure, “Haha, old Tom, thank me, I’ll take care of your business again. Give me a cup of barley wine, If you dare to mix in water, I will smash your broken signboard! “
“Hell, my door!” Roared and roared, a burly, or more accurately, bloated body leaned out of the counter and looked at the door, stunned, “Rubin? It’s you … your boy Did n’t you say that the situation was chaotic last time, wouldn’t you run out of business this year? “
The burly man wearing a baggage and dressed as a dealer, heard the words helplessly: “No way, you know, my family has to rely on me to eat, who will not come out? Okay, don’t talk nonsense, hurry up I’ll have a barley. What a special way to eat sand on this way! “
It can be seen that the merchant who calls Rubin is familiar with the owner of the tavern. You are welcome to talk. Throwing a punch at the counter is a greeting.
“Well, wait a minute … three silver coins.”
“What!” Shouted in surprise, the burly man who was holding a silver coin and was about to pop out, and when he heard the words, his eyes were suddenly rounded, and he looked at the fat pub owner with a look of ‘you are teasing me’, and his expression became It’s hard to say, “Old Tom, are you kidding me? A glass of barley and three silver coins? Damn it. You are robbing! Wasn’t it all one silver coin before?”
“You also said that it was before.” The owner of the tavern calmly said, “Now the food is tight and there is a limited supply, let alone making wine. I see that you are three acquaintances in the face of an acquaintance, at least five elsewhere. Silver coins start. “
The burly man heard a word, seemed to think of something, and his expression could not be eased. Then hesitated, and reluctantly took out two more silver coins, mumbled and complained: “Okay, okay, this **** world …”
“Be content.” The owner of the tavern that looked bloated. Quickly pulled out chubby hands and put away three silver coins, “This situation is only temporary. The price will soon come down. And if the world is really bad, you dare not come out at all, don’t you?”
“Uh, that’s what I said …” The burly man scratched his head, and then, while the fat shop owner turned around to get a drink, he habitually turned his head to glance at the tavern hall roughly.
It’s not lively, and it’s never been a peak time for a living like a tavern in the morning. Fairly spacious pub lobby, seated only two people. A table in the corner, a couple of men and a woman, can see the head of the woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat, eating and drinking very quiet, unusually low-key. In these people, the burly man smelled the taste of his peers. If you haven’t guessed wrong, these people should also run Shangluo Road, but the scale must be much larger than his single-gang gang, maybe a small business group or something.
As for the other table, there are a few young men, clinking glasses in large bowls and persuading drinks a lot, but this is the normal atmosphere of the pub.
Looking at it, the wooden counter in front of him beeped twice. “Okay, your barley.”
“Thank you old Tom … huh? I just want a glass.” The burly man turned around and looked at the two glasses of barley on the counter, stunned.
“I know, the other cup is mine.” Opening the small door next to the counter, the fat shop owner moved out quite hard, took the wine glass and waved, “Go, I rarely meet an acquaintance like you this time, I will accompany you Have a drink and by the way meet my new friend. “
“Friend?” The tavern has never been peaceful. A few cups of horse peeing down and fighting are common. In this way, people who dare to open a pub naturally have a wide range of ways. It is necessary to know a few scene friends if there is any problem. It is necessary to use it someday. Although the doorway was clear, the burly man was hesitant to hear the words, because now these two people in the lobby can become friends with the owner, and they are all young men.
And this is the place where the burly big man hesitates. Everyone like him who runs a gang must meet people of all kinds every day, and his vision is naturally extraordinary. For example, these young men in front of them, although they have no armor and no waist, but if they look at the iron blood between their hands to kill the momentum, we know that there must be human life on their hands, they should be soldiers or law enforcement in the city. character.
Regardless of the former or the latter, based on the experience of a burly business man, he knows that it is a difficult role that he must not provoke …
“Let ’s just forget it, old Tom, after all, I ’m not familiar with them, let ’s find somewhere to drink by myself …”
Without waiting for the burly man to shrug off, the fat shop owner laughed and shook his head. “Haha, rest assured, Rubin, I know what you are worried about. But now it’s really better than before. This is the site of the gray army!”
Pointing at his feet, he paused and put on the shoulders of the burly man. “I don’t hide from you, they are the people in the gray clothing. But before they were soldiers, now they are similar to the role of guard cavalry and maintain the security of the city. They are very orderly. Yes, you know when you understand. And, don’t you believe them, don’t you believe me? “
“Uh … okay.”
Speaking of this, the burly man naturally has no reason to refuse, so he holds a wine glass behind the fat shop owner, and walks towards the table of young men.
“Andy, Colin, and these two little brothers. How is my old Tom’s wine, and are you satisfied with it?”
“Yo, old Tom, you’ve collected our money. Come to your door and ask us to praise you.”
“Haha. To be honest. Old Tom, you have nothing to say about this winemaking technique, it’s spicy enough, good, good …”
“Yes, if we say we are not satisfied, you won’t let us in next time, right?”
“Haha, that can’t …”
It can be seen that the fat shop owner and these gray-clad soldiers really knew each other, and called out two of them at one sip. I have also been familiar with putting a chubby palm on the shoulder of a strong soldier, and greeted enthusiastically, “Let me introduce, this is Rubin, a running merchant, my old Tom’s friend, what do you need to bring or send? A letter to his family or anything, as long as he runs a business route, it will be fine. “
“Hehe, that’s right. Rubin has seen several adults.” The fat shop owner can be presumptuous, but the burly man naturally dares not. Boldly smiled and stepped forward to raise a glass and said, “For the first time, I’ll invite some adults to have a drink, and the money will be mine.”
Respect and politeness in verbal gestures, inviting guests to pay in actual actions. The burly man asked himself to deal with this decently, but what he expected was that as soon as his words fell, the warm atmosphere in the field was a stunned meal. The soldiers in the gray clothes even changed their faces,
“Uh, why … what’s going on? Am I saying something wrong or saying something?” The burly big man saw the drum straight in his heart, and immediately turned to the fat shopkeeper for help, the latter grinned and patted the burly big man’s shoulder “It’s okay, you just came here and didn’t understand the situation, don’t blame you …”
This remark clearly comforted the burly man, but it was actually an explanation for the soldiers in the gray clothing. Sure enough, a few people suddenly relieved their expressions. The lead soldier calling for Andy raised his glass and smiled at the burly man: “I do n’t dare to be called by adults, we are kind enough to take it. Brother can drink, but the money Let’s pay for it ourselves. Otherwise, we will be caught by the monitoring team and we will have to get another punishment. “
“The monitoring team?”
“A gray-clothed army monitors its own people.” The fat shop owner explained briefly, and then patted the shoulders of the burly man, who was unknown, and sighed, “I just told you. Now here, really It ’s different! “
“But … it’s just a glass of wine.” The burly man understood it, scratching his head, and couldn’t help but slap his tongue.
“It is a glass of wine now, but if we collect it, it may not be the same in the future.” Andy shrugged.
“… I respect a few adults … brother a bar.”
“Half a cup, half a cup is good. Ha ha, now the wine is not cheap, let’s share two and try more …”
…
Speaking of it, the atmosphere will relax.
The soldiers in the gray clothes and the fat shop owners were obviously accustomed to this, and they have long been surprised. Only the burly man is still a bit unbelievable. Everything that he sees and hears is undoubtedly very different from the business running experience he experienced before, even the opposite.
However, this is a good thing in the end. If there is no need to go out, no one wants to nod his head and take a look around.
Soon after a few sips of wine, the burly man with a guts gradually increasing, half flattered and half sincerely said: “No wonder I came this way, a lot more stable than in the past, robbed the thief who asked for passing money halfway It ’s rare, is n’t that what you as the gray army did? ”
“Accurately, it was just started.” A young gray-clad soldier took the stubble with pride, “You know, there are always many bandits in the northern realm, but they are endless. But most of them It ’s just that civilians who are in danger because they ca n’t eat enough food. Now the North is taken over by our gray army. There is no exploitation. As long as they are willing to work hard, they can always eat and eat in the ground. In this way, the bandits naturally cut back significantly. .As for the real thieves, hum, their good days are coming to an end, and we are preparing to clean up … “
“Shut up!” Hearing here, the lead soldier named Andy suddenly frowned and interrupted, “You’re drunk, can you comment on military affairs?”
The young soldier was shocked when he heard his body, and knew that he was guilty of speechlessness, and quickly turned red and dropped his head.
“Oh, it’s okay, it’s okay, Rubin and I are not talkative people, drink, everyone drink …” The chubby shop owner winked at the burly man as he rounded the field. The latter nodded intently, and quickly turned away from the topic, “Yes, when I first entered the city, I found that there was a tight guard at the gate of the city, and I was a little nervous. What’s the reason for this? Uh. I just ask casually. If not It’s easy to say it’s fine … “
“Oh. This. Eh, it’s a major event for our gray clothes, but talk about it.” Andy groaned and replied, “Today is the marriage of our leader, so the investigation is stricter.”
“The leader’s wedding? Who? The leader of Josiah?” The fat shop owner could not help exclaiming, apparently he didn’t know the news, and then looked at Andy and gently bowed his head. Again, suddenly, “So … such a big thing! Why is there no movement in the city?”
“The chief emphasized on the explanation, and just wanted to have a simple wedding, so there is no need to spread the word. In fact, there are not many invited people. As far as I know, some senior officials have not been invited to go.”
“That’s it, the leader of Josiah is too, too … too much.”
The chubby shopkeeper was emotional for a long time. After all, he didn’t say it clearly, but the burly man naturally understood the meaning, not to mention that the leader of the gray clothing army is now equal to the supremacy of the rift soil king. He only said that those wealthy businessmen and celebrities or small nobles whom he had seen before, who were not on the stage, rang a gong and drums, and invited invitations. I can’t get the hustle and bustle of the whole city … the gap! Is it really different …
In silent silence, the fat shop owner thoughtfully wondered, and then sighed again, “I was fortunate to see our leader Yingzi more than ten days ago, and I only dared to look at it from afar. Hey, I don’t know who Erlang could have such blessing to marry. “
On the side, several soldiers in the gray coats nodded unconsciously, especially the two young soldiers, who showed envy and bitterness, drank two sips of wine, and for a moment they felt cold and deep in their hearts. Hidden little careful thoughts of people’s words, want to be lost instantly.
“Captain, don’t you always brag that you are a veteran who broke out of Dawn City? Then who do you know who the leader’s man is?” After putting down the glass, a young soldier still failed to hold his mind in mind, or maybe Holding the thought of letting myself be completely disheartened, he asked with his energy.
“Yes, the captain talked about me.” Another young soldier couldn’t wait to persuade.
Only the chubby shopkeeper and the burly big man are very dumbfounded when they hear the words. This is too low-key. Co-authoring your own gray clothing army does not know who the man is to marry his boss?
“Don’t ask me, I just heard some rumors before, I’m not sure.” The soldiers who called Andy thought for a while, and reluctantly replied, “You also Do n’t force me, if it ’s the man … ”
Pausing for a moment, as if thinking of something, a few scares of terror appearing in his eyes, shaking his head again and again, “Can’t say, can’t say …”
“Hey, Captain, you are too innocent, say half and half.”
“That is, it is not appetizing.”
“Drink, huh, or pub …”
…
Seeing that Captain Andy was killed and said nothing, even if everyone was curious, they had no choice but to put this anger and resentment in a row of persuasion, and the hall was lively for a while.
And just when he was rumbling and persuading, the men and women at the table in the corner that looked like small business groups had finished eating and drinking, raised their low-keys, and quietly walked towards the door. On the way, only the fat shop owner unintentionally turned around and saw it. He smiled and greeted him again. Next time, a middle-aged man in the former turned politely and returned, and then walked out of the shop.
“Miss.” As soon as he left the tavern’s area, the middle-aged man took a few steps and took the initiative to distance himself from the guard behind him. He came to the woman wearing the wide-brimmed hat, hesitated, and asked. “Miss, are you here this time to attend the wedding of the leader of the gray army, Johia?”
The woman’s footsteps froze, and she raised an eyebrow in surprise: “Uncle Luo, do you remember Josiah?”
“Of course.” The middle-aged man nodded. “If it was the genius magic girl of Lai Yancheng before, she was the best playmate of Miss you when you were young. I certainly remember.”
Suddenly, frowning doubtfully, “I just don’t understand a bit. Since this is the relationship, why have you never visited the house in these few days?”
“Because, it’s different.” The woman shrugged and spread her hands. “In the northern territory of DJI ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~, her current identity is higher than the imperial second prince who hurriedly crowned the crown in the south a few days ago. The last chip. And me? It’s just a fading aristocratic family lady. The identity gap is very big. “
Gently shook her head. “If I rushed to visit, but she didn’t recognize me … the scene, it would be embarrassing to think about it!”
“Is that right……”
“Otherwise?” The two walked to the ordinary carriage parked by the side of the road, and the woman waved her hand indifferently. “Well, Uncle Luo, don’t think about it, I will come to my door when I adjust my mentality. After all, , Family business matters. “
After a rather playful blink, the woman turned and walked into the compartment. The curtain was lowered, and the eyes were slightly drooping, and the relaxed expression disappeared.
After a moment of silence, the tea rose up and sighed slowly in the carriage, “Married … I’m sorry for the best playmate in my childhood, I didn’t mean to disturb your happiness, but some accounts, it’s time to pay back It’s … “
