C62 Killer Meng Chong
As soon as he finished speaking, the window was knocked open. Duan Tianya rushed in with his sword in hand. In the blink of an eye, he exchanged five blows with the man in black.
The man in black praised, "I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so powerful. I admit that I am not a match for you. But I'm an assassin, what an assassin wants to do, even if he knows he's going to die, he still has to do it" As he spoke, he took out a flying nail from his bosom and threw it with force. The flying nail went straight for Jiang Huer.
Duan Tianya did not care about the details and Jiang Huer's left arm was hit. The man in black said in a low voice. "She has been poisoned by me. Quickly use white wine to wash her wound. Otherwise, her whole body will fester and she will die. "
Duan Tianya said to Su Hsing, "You go and save her first. " After saying that, the three of them pushed open the door and left.
The inn regained its peace. Jiang Huer also seemed to be fine. Duan Tianya reminded Su Hsing, "You stay here and watch her. I will go outside and take a look. I will be back in a while. "
Duan Tianya went upstairs and found that Wen Tiangang and the rest had been killed. However, the man in black did not leave. He stayed where he was and waited for Duan Tianya to come back.
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Why aren't you leaving?"
The man in black said, "Thank you for your help. For those who have helped me, I will not leave. "
Duan Tianya said, "Did I owe you a favor? How come I don't know?"
The man in black said, "You can even deliberately believe the excuse of lying to a child. Don't tell me you want to fulfill my wish?"
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Then I have to thank you for showing mercy. Otherwise, if the hidden weapon hit her throat or Shanzhong acupuncture point, it is very likely that she would lose her life in terms of martial arts. "
The man in black asked in confusion. "I have one thing that I don't understand. I hope you can teach me. "
Duan Tianya said, "Please speak!"
The man in black said, "You and Wen Tiangang are considered together, but why did you not save him?"
Duan Tianya said, "Why should I save him? Could it be that he wanted to save a thief who stole someone else's jade ruyi and went to offer it to someone else?"
The man in black was stunned. He didn't expect Duan Tianya to say such a thing, so he said, "How do you know that Guo Zihuan didn't lie?"
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "If Guo Zihuan lied, it should be because the jade ruyi didn't belong to him in the first place. He also stole it from someone else. "
The man in black laughed and said, "You are really a smart person, and you are also a smart young man. To be honest, Wen Tiangang did steal Guo Zihuan's jade ruyi and wanted to give it to Yang Zhixing, but this jade ruyi was really like what you said. It was Guo Zihuan who stole it from someone else. Guo Zihuan wanted me to kill Wen Tiangang, and at the same time, someone wanted me to kill Guo Zihuan. "
Duan Tianya said," Do two transactions at the same time? "
The man in black nodded and said, "Yes!"
Duan Tianya said, "I can't just let you do the transaction so easily. "
The man in black was a little surprised and said, "You want to intervene?"
Duan Tianya said, "I'm not here to rob. I just want you to know what your name is. Also, you can't leave after the business is done. You have to treat me to a drink. "
The man in black was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said: "My name is Meng Chong. Guo Zihuan is down there. I will be back soon. Are we here or somewhere else?"
Duan Tianya said, "This Wen Tiangang is a relative of mine. It will be hard to explain to him if he drinks here. It would be best to go somewhere else. "
Meng Chong replied. "Okay! I'll be right back. "
The hot night could not stop the hot liquor. There were a few simple dishes and the sleepy waiter. The two people who had just met for the first time were sitting at the same table, pushing glasses and changing glasses. It was hard to imagine.
Meng Chong was surprisingly good at drinking. He also liked to drink with a bowl. Before drinking, he even changed his clothes.
Duan Tianya raised the bowl of wine and asked, "Is the matter settled?"
Meng Chong replied, "It's done. The jade ruyi has been taken away, along with Guo Zihuan's head. "
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "The one who asked you to kill Guo Zihuan is a man from the Jianghu?"
Meng Chong said, "He is a businessman. "
Duan Tianya was surprised and asked, "Then why did he bring a head?"
Meng Chong said. "We can't guess what the seller was thinking. His ruthlessness is no less than that of many people in the pugilistic world. When he does things, he will always be ruthless. "
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Maybe human nature is the same. "
Meng Chong said, "Duan's sword technique is so superb. To tell you the truth, if we did not meet today, we would not have known that there was such a person as brother. "
Duan Tianya said, "It's fine as long as you can drink. Is everything else important?"
Meng Chong realized and said, "That's right, let's do it!"
Duan Tianya and Meng Chong drank until dawn. Watching Meng Chong drink made him think of Hu Meng, but he could tell. Meng Chong only acted heroically when drinking wine. He was very careful when drinking other things.
Meng Chong had always been clear-headed. He picked up the sword, threw down a silver ingot, and waved at Duan Tianya. He pushed open the door and walked away.
Duan Tianya walked alone on the street. The bright sky was as silent as dead ashes.
At this moment, he felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart. He did not know why either.
Life was unpredictable. Everything changed. No one knew if the friends they saw today could still see the next day when they woke up. Similarly, he was still alive today, and no one knew if he would still be alive the next day.
Of course, Duan Tianya wasn't a sentimental person, but he wasn't a cold-hearted person either. At this moment, he thought of his master, and the number one swordsman in the martial world, Ghost Sword, Hu Liang, who had raised him since he was young and cared for him.
He also thought of Lee Yuer and that woman who had truly fallen in love with him. Perhaps it was just a momentary impulse, but every time he thought about it, he would feel a trace of melancholy in his heart.
He even thought of Wen Hong, Li Daoyuan, Chang Shi Ling, Shea Sangong. Ma Wuyang, Kong Qingming, and the others. Although these people and things only happened briefly, it was enough to make him reminisce about them.
Back at the inn, Jiang Huer still didn't sleep. Su Hsing didn't leave either. Seeing Duan Tianya come back, Jiang Huer asked, "Did you go for a drink?"
Duan Tianya nodded and did not deny it, but he did not say a word.
Jiang Huer continued to ask, "Uncle Wen and the rest are all dead, right?"
Duan Tianya only nodded and did not say anything.
Maybe Jiang Huer had already guessed the result but did not seem to be too sad. She just sighed and said, "I know you don't want to save Uncle Wen. I also know that Uncle Wen did indeed steal someone else's jade ruyi. "
Duan Tianya said, "The person who hired the assassin to kill Wen Tiangang is also dead. His head was chopped off. "
Jiang Huer asked, "I did not get poisoned. Right? "
Duan Tianya did not hide anything. He told the truth. "Yes, that was just a temporary measure for an assassin. "
Jiang Huer said helplessly, "You can save him, but you can't. "
Duan Tianya did not argue and said, "I can save him. But I can't save everyone. For someone who stole other people's things and gave it to others as a form of flattery, I can save such a person for a moment, but I can't save him for a lifetime. Even if I don't die today, In the future, he will die in the hands of others. Why don't we just end this right now, and don't try to harm others when the time comes?"
Jiang Huer understood him very well and said, "If you don't like him, then you must have reasons to not like him. Since he is already dead, let's go back! "
