ged his head in her arms like a life-saving straw.An arm completely blocked the person's entire face.She quickly let go and apologized repeatedly."Sorry, no, oh, a branch got caught in my hair.""Don't...The assassin burst into laughter.
"What, do you want to commission our master"
Fang Jinshu looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong Doesn't your guild master take on jobs"
The assassin shook his head repeatedly, forcing down the smile on his face.
"It's not that, it's just that your 500 taels of silver are of too low a grade."
"Our master takes orders, those are all tens of thousands taels of large orders, if you want him to take action the price is not cheap."
This master of Wuyou Pavilion is quite good at making money, isn't he His martial arts skills are still unknown, but his fees are quite expensive.
"I have the silver. You just need to help me see him, get him to take my job offer. The five hundred taels I gave you before will be considered payment for your hard work. I won't ask for it back. How about that"
The assassin hesitated.
"Are you telling the truth You're not lying to me, are you"
Fang Jinshui smiled and said, “You’ve already received half of my deposit. Even if I can't complete this job, I won't ask for it back. In the end, you won't lose out, will you”
The killer seemed to agree.
"Alright, I can ask for you, but I can't guarantee the master will see you."
Fan Jinshu nodded. "I know."
If you wish to commission our lord, then after signing the contract, go back first. Our lord isn't always here.
"I have to wait until I can see him."
Fang Jinshu frowned, somewhat uneasy.
I've reached the Wuyue Pavilion headquarters and still haven't seen anyone. It's a bit disappointing.
"Then when can I see him There are still people in Kyoto Castle who remember my life, I need someone to protect me, I can't wait too long."
The killer scratched his head, it was true. He had killed all his other brothers for this one deal. If the business went bust, he might get caught for killing the others by the Wuxiang Pavilion.
Then, he might lose his job.
"Then, before we meet the Lord, let me protect you first. How about that"
Fang Jinxiu reluctantly agreed.
"That's all we can do."
"You get the contract ready and take it to the manor for me, and I won't go in."
If I can't see the master of Wuyu Pavilion, going in is pointless.
She turned and left, Zhao Xingzhou hurriedly followed, leaving the assassin standing dumbfounded.
"This, this is it over"
"What a strange employer, didn't she say herself she would come to sign the contract Now she has me bring it to her."
The killer scratched his head, this kind of thinking wasn't his forte. He couldn't figure it out.
It's better this way, he doesn't come in. That way, they won't discover that he brought a stranger in, and if they do, it'll be bad for him.
On her way back, Fang Jinshu's face was very grim.
The clues to her enemy's whereabouts were right in front of her, yet she couldn't get them. Li Lie still had no idea where he was hiding, enjoying himself! She desperately wanted to find him immediately and make him pay for his crimes with blood!
Her life was not so easily obtained.
"Madam, please don't get too angry. At least we didn't come away empty-handed."
As long as the assassin from Wuyou Pavilion keeps in contact with us, we'll eventually meet Wuyou Pavilion's master.
Fang Jinshi's head hurt, she rubbed her temples.
"Well, I know."
"Don't tell anyone about this for now, I'll let you know when I figure things out."
Zhao Xingzhou nodded.
Li Lie, wait for me.
They had just returned to the lodge entrance when they saw Chang He rushing toward them.
"What's wrong"
Fang Jinxiu got out of the car.
"Madam, weren't you supposed to have the Second Master bring General Xiao here yesterday He's been here for a while now, and we're about to lose him if you don't return."
He always said he had official business to attend to.
Hearing this, Fang Jinshi couldn't help but quicken her pace.
"Has anyone left yet"
Chang He followed up, "Didn't go, didn't go. I and the Second Master have been finding all sorts of reasons to keep people around. He's still in the front hall."
"Well done, I'll give you a big reward when we get back."
Long He shyly said he didn't need it, but as soon as he looked up, he saw that Mrs. Shao was almost gone.
What's the rush to find General Xiao Zhao
As soon as they reached the door, they heard the helpless voice of General Xiao Zhao coming from inside.
"Master Zong, please let me go. I have a lot of urgent matters to attend to. Perhaps we can eat this meal another day."
"Madam is out again, I'll come back another time, another time!"
He walked toward the door while speaking. Zong Bo just got up to stop him, but when he looked up and saw Fang Jinshu standing at the door, his footsteps stopped and he let out a breath of relief.
The sister-in-law finally came back.
"General Xiao Zhao, aren't you having lunch before leaving"
Zhao Yun just walked to the door and bumped into Fang Jinshu. He hurriedly stepped back a few steps, his expression somewhat frustrated.
Still blocked.
Sister-in-law.
Zhao Yun strained a smile.
"What do you want I have something important to attend to. I don't have time to waste."
"Don't worry, I just came to ask you some questions and it won't take up much of your time," Fang Jinshu said as she walked in.
"You don't have to stay for dinner if you don't want to, I won't force you. Just answer me one question."
Zhao Yun let out a breath. "Alright, then ask away."
As long as he doesn't stay under his sister-in-law's nose all the time, he shouldn't be exposed. The general's assignment is too difficult.
He's not good at lying at all.
Fang Jinshu sat down, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her gaze on Zhao Yun grew increasingly sharp.
"General, what military affairs have you been busy with these days Or perhaps I should ask, where are they"
"You can answer either of these two questions."
But don't ever lie to me, even if you try, I'll still see through it.
Zhao Yun, upon hearing this, immediately nervously swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva. This was only the second day! Could his sister-in-law have already sensed something
The general said that they had to last at least three days. After three days, if his sister-in-law pressed him too hard, he could tell her then as well. At that point, it wouldn't change anything anyway.
There is still one day left.
No, he couldn't say it under any circumstances.
This, the general is in the city defense army camp.
Fang Jinxiu snorted coldly, got up and made a move to go out, "Is that so Well, I'll go to the city defense camp and ask."
Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward to block the doorway.
"No, no, no, sister-in-law, you can't ask."
Fang Jinshi stared at him with an emotionless expression, "Why can't I go I'm not going to scout military intelligence. I'm just going to give your general some gifts. Isn't that possible"
What should you get him He's not capable of colluding with all the brothers in the city defense camp. If your sister-in-law asks, it will be obvious.
"This, is His Majesty's first order specifically entrusted to the General, of utmost importance. No one can disturb it, no, otherwise, otherwise…"
Zhao Yun was sweating nervously. He wasn't good at lying, and he didn't know how to continue.
Suddenly, Fang Jinxiu slapped her face and shouted angrily.
"Zhuge Yun! Do you think your pathetic excuses will fool anyone"
"Did something happen to Ah Yu Tell me quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Zong Bai also became anxious. His elder brother had always been the type to keep his joys and sorrows to himself, never sharing them with the family. He wouldn't share good news, let alone bad. Whenever something happened, he would shoulder it all alone.
In the past, in the mountain village of Xizhou, the eldest brother was incredibly strong. He could handle even the fiercest beasts in the mountains, let alone ordinary people, so they didn't worry much.
Now I'm in the capital city. The people here are full of schemes and tricks, they can kill you without even using a knife.
It's not something that can be solved by force, Big Brother.
"General Xiao Zhao, just spit it out! These past two days, Big Brother hasn't come to court. I haven't heard of any unrest in the capital that would require a general to quell."
"What has he been doing these past few days"
"Or you could just tell us if he's dangerous, that's all we need to know. We won't ask about anything confidential."
My sister-in-law's intuition has always been accurate. There have been times in the village before where whenever my brother was in danger, she was the first to notice and led everyone into action.
In the end, everything turned out well.
Of course, Zong Bai trusted Fang Jinshu, who had always relied on them, more than Xiao Zhao General right in front of him.
"Hold on, General," Zhao Yun was truly feeling the pressure.r all, she used to run a clinic. You could say she was a small business owner, and there were still a few banquets every year for socializing.Although she wasn't fond of these kinds of gatherings, it...
