Chapter 336.
How to deal with the corpse of this stunning ambassador was much simpler than expected.
Ah Feng took out a very long roll of cloth from his own bag.
Ye Jingxue subconsciously asked:
“What is this?”
“A shroud.”
Without lifting his head, Ah Feng wrapped the body of the stunning ambassador bit by bit.
Soon, the face of this Shocking Envoy disappeared in front of everyone.
“…… Are you planning, to carry this corpse to Little Jade Villa like this?”
Jiang Ran was somewhat surprised:
“Very bold.”
“It’s always a risk when you need to take a risk.”
Feng said softly:
“Under this sky, there is no such thing as something without the slightest risk.”
Jiang Ran felt that this was actually very reasonable, so he laughed:
“You’re really funny, carrying a shroud around with you, and judging from your usual habits, I guess others should be used to this as well?”
Ah Feng did not answer Jiang Ran directly, but asked:
“Does warrior Jiang know where my master comes from?”
Jiang Ran was about to shake his head when he heard Ye Shockfang’s voice enter the room:
“Corpse collector?”
“Oh!”
Ye Jingxue also came to a realization.
Feng froze for a moment:
“I didn’t expect the two girls to be well-informed ……”
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, couldn’t help but ask:
“Corpse collector? Scavenger?”
“The rivers and lakes are too stormy, there are killings everywhere,” he said.
“The person who has been killed is dead on the spot, and those who have a little bit of conscience may bury them, and those who don’t have a conscience may leave them there to be chewed on by wild animals.
“In this way, the corpse collector was born.”
Ye Shocking Frost also walked within the room and said softly:
“They walk in the rivers and lakes without any grudges or entanglements, and when they come across corpses, they check to see if there is any information about their origins.
“If there is, they may entrust someone to send their bodies back to their hometowns and put them in the ground.
“If not, most likely to dig a pit on the spot, buried on the spot.
“Likewise, the belongings on top of the corpse they will take away, counting it as the cost of collecting the corpse.”
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow:
“In that case, in the future, after killing someone, when scavenging, it’s best to leave a little behind for those who come after? Lest people work on an empty stomach ……”
Ye Shockfang laughed:
“They mostly won’t mind …… However, I can’t say for sure about this.
“Corpse collectors are a very unique group.
“Legacy and independent, being in the jianghu, but seldom showing up in the jianghu.
“But I’ve heard that corpse collectors, because they often collect corpses for people, also get some good things unknown to the onlookers as a result.
“There are some because the opponent is only obsessed with killing, for the property class, does not care about, so they told the corpse collector to take away.
“There are also some is both sides fight to the death to grab a thing, and finally the same death, the corpse collector collects the body when, incidentally, will be this thing to smile.
“One by two, the accumulation of things more and more.
“Then appeared a workshop market, above are corpse collectors scavenge treasures, get above the workshop market to sell to others.”
“This is true!”
Ye Jingxue nodded and said:
“I once even talked to …….”
She had been quite excited, only when the words reached here, she fell silent for a moment and said:
“Been there with Yi Cangxian and my master.
“Yi Cangxian said that such a workshop is very difficult to find, want to find either to ask the corpse collector.
“Either …… or you just chance your luck.”
“The corpse collector’s workshop seems to be hidden, but in fact it’s worthless to put it bluntly.”
Ah Feng said indifferently:
“First there needs to be an old acacia tree with a shroud hanging above it.
“If there is a pile of stones under the tree, it is most likely that the workshop is about to open.
“Five stones, five days later, four stones, four days later.
“Sometimes if there is only one stone after one day, a shroud will be hung on the tree to prevent passing body collectors, or people who know what they are doing, from overlooking it.
“Normally, the front is long and the back is short.
“One inch shorter is the opening of the market on the first shift, two inches is the second shift of the day, and so on.
“In the future, if you go to a hidden place, see the old acacia tree, and see the cloth hanging above the shroud, then most likely that night, or the next night, will collect the corpse people here to open the market, as for the lively, crowded people …… have to see the tree, and intend to go to the market for sale How many people are there.”
Jiang Ran nodded after listening:
“So there is such a doorway here, I don’t know who came up with it.”
“I don’t know.”
Feng shook his head:
“This is what my master taught me, today you guys asked, I also told you, as for tracing the roots …… of the corpse collector this line of work, since someone started, there are people doing it.
“In the end, which ancestor master thought of …… also has not been handed down handwritten notes, naturally there is no way to say.
“However, there are some small rules in the corpse collector’s workshop.
“For example, those who step into the workshop market can’t be counted as living people, and only after they walk out are they returned to the sun.
“Guests who are corpse collectors will refer to themselves as ‘those who drive the road’, and if they are not corpse collectors, they are allowed to call themselves ‘those who borrow the road’.
“A corpse collector who sets up a stall to sell goods will call himself ‘grave sweeper,’ and if he is an outsider in the trade who borrows the corpse collector’s workshop to set up a stall, Xu will have to call himself ‘cloth-resistant.
“There is also a division of its after things, some have trouble, take out will lead to some chaos is a name, some itself is relatively clean, take out does not show the mountain is not leakage of water, and is a name.
“If you don’t understand the rules of the doorway here, you may be cheated.
“Or else see you are not clear about the rules, know that it is ‘green bird’, will also cause some trouble.
“After all, when you’re doing something secretive, no one is willing to let the news leak out.
“I heard that in the past there have been a few times when the workshop market was opened, by the green bird haunted the scene …… line of work are quite scrupulous about this.”
Jiang Ran had heard in the past that there were jargon black talk cuts among the greenwoods, and it seemed that there were some sayings within this corpse collector.
This is passed down for many years down the organization, accumulated over the years, east a sentence, west a sentence, slowly have their own things.
Seemingly unsystematic, said the words outsiders do not understand, but the line of the first listen to understand.
Ye Shocking Frost then said:
“Corpse collectors have rules not to intervene in the affairs of the jianghu, according to reason, you should not join the Surprising Extermination Pavilion.”
“Because I have a great revenge yet to be avenged, therefore, I cannot continue to be a corpse collector. My master also knows …… that he was originally in the village where I live and found me in the pile of corpses.
“That’s why he adopted me, and because of him, I grew up with corpses to sleep with.
“Later, when I had learned my lesson, I led the Mountain of Swords and the Sea of Fire myself, and walked out of that half-step into the netherworld.”
“Sword Mountain and Fire Sea?”
“It is a torture and a test. A test of martial arts, but also a test of courage.
“Without one, one cannot return to the sun.”
Feng gently shook his head:
“If you guys are willing to hear about the corpse collector, I’ll tell you more about it later.
“It is almost time to talk about this today, Xiao Yuzhuang still has to arrive as soon as possible to be good …… The more people who go, the more likely your identities will be exposed.
“Go early, find a room to rest, do not go out on weekdays, around but a day’s light, to wait for the battle of Broken Stream Gorge to begin, then it does not matter.”
“Makes sense.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“Then let’s leave now?”
He glanced back at Ye Shockfrost and Ye Shockxue.
The two girls nodded at the same time.
Immediately, without further words, they departed from the middle of this room.
And before leaving, Ah Feng tidied up the entire aspect again, most importantly, the knife wound that he poked into the middle of his belly had to be treated properly, otherwise, without waiting to arrive at Little Jade Villa, he was only afraid that he would have to sail away.
This man was a hard man.
This knife wound is deep, after letting go of the blood is flowing like a river, but he did not have the slightest expression to bandage himself well, after finishing also do not see the slightest weakness, as if nothing happened, and Jiang Ran together with them to catch up with the road.
Jiang Ran on the road several times to observe this person, also did not see any cracks.
Four people are from midnight departure, the second day does not wait for noon, has already arrived at the place.
This so-called small jade Zhuang, but in a site on the re-construction of the Zhuang.
Many traces of the old and the new could be seen.
When he arrived at the door, he saw two people guarding the main entrance.
Only they did not stand straight, but sat opposite each other, a chessboard was placed in the middle, the two people played chess opposite each other, blocking the entire main entrance tightly.
Ah Feng was the first to arrive, standing there with the corpse of the stunning ambassador on his back, quietly watching them play chess.
Jiang Ran’s trio also came to the side and watched.
On top of the chess board, there was a dragon fighting and fighting, only after looking closely, they realized that in the midst of this rushing fight, each other had left an unknown number of cracks.
Catch any one of them, you can beat each other’s vitality.
But these two people don’t know whether they are too bad at chess, or they are intentionally killing time here, but they don’t have any intention of seizing the cracks and chasing after each other.
As a result, this game took a bit too long.
Ah Feng’s patience was very good, and Jiang Ran and the three of them seemed to be watching with great interest.
Finally, after a little more than half an hour, one person had completely lost the wind and was unable to return, he sighed:
“Lost again ……”
“Hahaha!!!”
The person on the opposite side laughed maniacally:
“I have said that I am the reincarnation of the chess saint, a born national player, you just don’t believe me, and you have to make a fool of yourself.
“Now do you know how powerful it is?”
“…… just know how to brag.”
The one who lost the game, although the game was lost but the mouth can not admit defeat.
“Then let’s play again?”
The one on the other side was eager to try.
The one who lost shook his head:
“It’s no fun, I won’t play with you, moreover, the Pavilion Master asked us two to guard here, not for the purpose of playing a game of chess to divide the winners and losers, we have to welcome the boys who are coming to Little Jade Villa. ……
“Well, which one are you?”
He looked up at Ah Feng, and the corpse on him.
Ah Feng hemmed and hawed, the corners of his mouth cracking:
“The two old men can’t recognize me?”
“Carrying a corpse on his back …… that is mostly a half-faced ghost.
“Okay, okay, go in, come quite early.
“Well, which one are you again?”
When he said this, he glanced at Jiang Ran who was standing not far away.
Jiang Ran opened his mouth indifferently:
“Master Master.”
The faces of the two old men in front of the door suddenly changed as they glanced at each other:
“Grandmaster Master?”
“Problems?”
Jiang Ran asked coldly.
“No no, just didn’t expect that you would come ……”
An old man gave a dry laugh:
“Alright, you come in too, pick your own place to live, if someone robs, killing is not forbidden.”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran stepped over the chessboard and directly entered.
Ye Shocking Xue and Ye Shocking Frost, one calling himself Shadow and the other Executioner, came in smoothly as well.
After entering, there wasn’t anyone left to receive them either.
From the words of the old man in front of the door, when they arrived at the Little Jade Villa, food and accommodation depended on their skills.
Those with high martial arts skills can live in good rooms and eat good food …… On the contrary, if they don’t have enough martial arts skills, they won’t have much enjoyment.
A Feng, on the other hand, led Jiang Ran and the others directly to a small courtyard, and after slightly allocating the rooms, the people also went back to the house to rest.
Until Jiang Ran sat down on the stool, he didn’t expect things to go so smoothly.
This always made Jiang Ran feel a little worried in his heart.
Of course, what he was worried about was not the group attack after being discovered.
The main reason was that he wanted to strike again tomorrow on the Broken Stream Gorge, and if he was recognized at this time, then he would have to kill all of the people from the Surprising Extermination Pavilion.
At that time, he took Ye Shocking Frost, Ye Shocking Snow, and maybe that Feng together to go to the Broken Stream Gorge, and claimed that they were people from the Surprising Extermination Pavilion, and I don’t know if the experts of the Qing Dynasty can believe it?
Thinking in his heart, nothing happened this afternoon.
Ye Jingxue and Ye Shocking Frost two also can’t be idle, nothing to sit on the roof of the high and distant view, see what people have come to this small jade village.
Only this group of people are covered up, just from the attire is very difficult to see their origin.
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.
Jiang Ran’s courtyard was knocked open, and a young man in a white robe, standing expressionlessly in front of the door, without the slightest bit of focus in his eyes, opened his mouth and said:
“Deputy Pavilion Master’s order, ordering you all to proceed to the Precious Jade Hall to deliberate as soon as possible.”
This order was not just passed on to Jiang Ran and the others, but to all of the assassins within the Little Jade Villa today.
For his part, the person who passed on the order didn’t care if Jiang Ran heard it or not, and after finishing what he had to say, he turned his side to go.
Jiang Ran was about to retract his gaze when he realized that from amongst the other several alleys, four young men had come separately, walking together with the first young man.
“Five people …… are that group of dead soldiers?”
Jiang Ran nodded, so it seemed that Ah Feng had not lied about this matter.
Turning back again, Ah Feng, Ye Shocking Frost Ye Shocking Snow all came out from their respective rooms.
“You’ll be able to meet the Vice Pavilion Master in a while.”
Jiang Ran laughed:
“All hold steady, don’t be in a hurry.”
“Don’t worry.”
Ye Jingxue nodded, painfully.
Ye Jingxue, on the other hand, was a little worried:
“These evil sects, before they do great things, they may not know how to inspire the people, killing people to sacrifice their flags and so on, it should also be an unusual reasoning.
“If this kind of thing really happens, are we to stand by and watch, or ……”
“Naturally is to stand by and watch.”
Ah Feng opened his mouth and said:
“No matter what, we cannot expose our identity. Unless, it comes to the time when the figure is exhausted.”
Ye Shockfang and Ye Shockxue ignored him and glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran smiled:
“Just improvise when the time comes.”
“Uh-huh.”
The two nodded at the same time.
Ah Feng felt that he had opened his mouth in the party and said a lonely …… Solely no longer say more, carrying the body of the stunning ambassador on his back and walked out first.
Jiang Ran three people followed closely behind.
Then you can see, the other killers also came out from within their respective rooms.
Roughly surveyed, although not as many as the Willow Academy that will be evil demons and foreigners, but there are also dozens of hundreds of people.
This Shocking Extermination Pavilion, is really looking down on themselves ah.
Qing Guo’s group of people, but also even more willing to spend money.
The Surprising Destruction Pavilion was able to find so many people, which means that even if all of these people die, as long as the mission can be accomplished, the Surprising Destruction Pavilion will still be able to earn silver.
How much money did the Green Country give, just thinking about it a little bit, it was a bit shocking.
Along with the crowd’s pace together, they soon had arrived at the Little Jade Villa’s Precious Jade Hall.
Entering inside, the hall did not have a banquet, there was not a chair right at the top, and the owner of that chair had not yet sat on it.
This was a person who was dressed very expensively.
Back hands, temperament extraordinary.
What is more striking is that above this person’s thumb, there is a piece of white mark, should be usually like to wear a trigger finger a kind of small things left by the traces.
It seemed to feel that the people had almost come, before he turned around and turned back.
A crimson mask, then appeared in front of the eyes of the crowd.
A group of unruly killers in the field, naturally, would not easily kneel down, but when they saw the Deputy Pavilion Master, they ultimately had to bow in order to show their respect.
“See Deputy Pavilion Master.”
The crowd spoke in unison.
That Deputy Pavilion Master then came to the side of the chair, reached out and held the back of the chair, looked at the crowd present and said:
“Everyone should be clear about what we are gathering here today to do.
“This single deal is huge, and the Green Kingdom has given fifty thousand taels of gold!
“And most importantly, on the Golden Cicada side, there are also people who don’t want to let this Rapunzel live …… therefore, gave gold seventy thousand taels, let us make sure to keep her life here.
“If it is just the eldest princess alone, this is heavenly riches.
“But the problem is, this Rapunzel is very smart, she knows to find someone to protect herself.
“That Jiang Ran’s reputation, you all think you’ve heard of it.”
“…… A child whose hair hasn’t even grown, Vice Pavilion Master mustn’t raise others’ prestige to extinguish his own!”
Immediately, someone voiced a rebuttal.
The Vice Pavilion Master wasn’t angry either, only nodding his head gently:
“Not many people know about the battle at the Jin Yang Mansion.
“However, this person’s sword shocked ten thousand troops, and the first time the Qing Kingdom’s army went south to attack the Jinyang Mansion, it was in this person’s palm that they suffered a loss.
“Even Hou Ning, the great general of the Changyang army, fell into this man’s palm.
“Such a martial …… skill is not to be underestimated.”
When these words came out, the field was in an uproar.
This matter, it was true that many of them had never heard of it.
Many people originally also on this single sale, called to them so many people and feel uncomfortable, now hear this word, only to know, not call so many people still really can not.
This Jiang Ran …… is terrifying to the extreme!
A moment in the field of discussion.
And the vice pavilion master at this time but gently reached out his hand, suppressed the noisy voice of the crowd, opened his mouth and said:
“Jiang Ran is a great enemy, if we can’t solve it, we have no chance of survival.
“But before resolving Jiang Ran …… we still have one thing to do.
“There is often a saying that, to steal from the outside world, we must first secure the inside, today we first remove the traitors, and then tomorrow we will kill the strong enemy!”
Abruptly, his eyes show, the body shape of a shake a collection, it is like a rainbow flash, from the crowd in the middle of a back and forth, to wait for the re-return to the original place, the palm has more than one person.
He reached out and lifted that person into mid-air:
“Who the hell are you?”
This change was called Jiang Ran’s jaw.
Simply because the person he was holding was not someone else, it was none other than Ah Feng.
