Chapter 106.
As one thing after another came up, Zhou An did become more and more uneasy.
He always felt that the price Yu Hang said to pay might not be small.
Yu Hang backhanded the door to the dark compartment shut, his eyes withering.
He looked at the members of the Zhen Gui Si on the floor and said in a low tone, “Old Zhou, do you think I’m ridiculous? An ordinary person like me even kowtowed and begged in order to save two lives.”
“Do you know that we passed by a stagecoach not too long ago, just because of me, then that woman killed everyone in the stagecoach, which had people and small children in it.”
“I heard clearly inside the iron lump, the small child and his parents were earning a little bit of money and wanted to go to Yunlaifu to improve their life and environment, but they died before they arrived.”
Speaking here, Yu Hang squatted down and pulled his hair with his hand.
“What’s wrong with this world? Are the lives of ordinary people without abilities really like grass? I couldn’t even do anything to stop them and watched them die by fire.
“The cries of that little child still echo in my mind even now.”
“I thought at that time, if I had the power, I would have been able to stop it, but I’m just an ordinary person, one could even say that I’m a waste in front of her, I couldn’t stop it, I could only watch.”
Yu Hang’s shoulders trembled slightly.
Zhou An sighed as he heard this.
He knew that that scene had impacted Yu Hang’s worldview too much.
Yu Hang was just a scholar who wanted to get a meritocracy and then manage a good side of the land.
Let the people get a better life.
But that scene at the stagecoach station likely made Yu Hang feel that this kind of thinking was too childish.
As long as there were still people in these lines of work, the lives of ordinary people were like hanging from a wire rope that could collapse and fall at any time.
One couldn’t even resist.
“If I had the ability …… those people wouldn’t have died.”
Yu Hang laughed bitterly.
Hearing this, Zhou An squatted down and patted Yu Hang’s shoulder, “Da Chu Kingdom is already considered to care very much about ordinary people.”
“Right!” Yu Hang raised his head, the pain in his eyes disappearing with a hint of hatred.
“But that woman, obviously she could have used other methods to cover it up, she had to kill directly.”
“I couldn’t figure it out, I’m going to become a member of the line, I’m going to kill him!”
“Then what, what did you do?” Zhou An asked.
Yu Hang stood up, “I learned the cremation method.”
Zhou An’s face became extremely serious, “You killed someone?”
Yu Hang shook his head, stating that he just finished learning all the theories.
“She said that she was interested, that it was a deal, she wanted to see if I would become like her after learning the cremation method? And she wanted to see what you, her best friend, would do with it?”
Saying that, Yu Hang pointed to his head.
“I can’t forget it anymore, the Cremation Method is in my head.”
“I actually want to go and cultivate, want to become a different person to change all of this.”
Zhou An was silent.
“Zhou An, I think I can change.” Yu Hang continued.
Zhou An sighed, “How do you change?”
If one was truly practicing the Cremation Method, few people would be able to restrain themselves in the face of such a shortcut.
“I can use the cremation method to bury those disgusting things.” Yu Hang gritted his teeth.
“I’ve already thought about it, I don’t want to take this merit test again, I’ll leave this place right away, and from now on, I’ll specialize in finding those evil people who deal with the people!”
When talking about this, Yu Hang could not hide the anger on his face.
Zhou An slowly said, “There’s still a chance, you’re just writing it down, there are so many people in the line of work, there’s always a way to erase that.”
A shortcut was something everyone wanted to take.
But he was worried that Yu Hang couldn’t control it, don’t look at the good words Yu Hang is saying now, in case it really comes to a time when he can’t control it, then it will be hard to escape death.
Yu Hang shook his head, “I don’t want to forget, I want to learn, I can’t wait any longer, Lao Zhou, either you kill me now.”
“It would be a blessing to die at your hands.”
His gaze was frank, as if he had seen life and death before.
“What kind of bullshit is that?” Zhou An laughed, “Do you really intend to learn this stuff?”
At this time, Zhou An’s tone began to change, with an inexplicable teasing.
Yu Hang nodded, “I plan to go ……”
The words were not finished as a long knife had stabbed through Yu Hang’s chest.
The blood didn’t spill out, and in its place was a large string of sparks.
It was as if a knife had been plunged into metal.
“I don’t want to act, you don’t seem to be able to say anything important.” Zhou An said indifferently.
“How did you find out?” Yu Hang lowered his head and looked at the large hole in his chest.
There was a large lump of iron there, with no flesh or blood.
Zhou An retracted his long knife and said indifferently, “There are several points where you were exposed, as for how you discovered it, why would I tell you?”
This fellow in front of him was not Yu Hang, but an iron lump.
The other party actually had the ability to mimic other people’s bodies.
In fact, the whole thing was so well done that Zhou An really thought it was Yu Hang for the first half of the day.
But there were still a couple of omissions.
One of them was that Zhou An did not believe that Yu Hang would do this because Yu Hang had even given him the water burial method.
If the water burial method couldn’t even seduce, the cremation method could?
The second was that the personnel of the Zhen Gui Si here were not right.
It was too fake to send only two people over to guard such an important matter.
The last one was that Zhou An smelled a metallic flavor on this person.
He himself already possessed the Fusion Casting Method, and was even more sensitive in this regard.
Right, there was one more thing, the ability to read a hundred scrolls triggered, and he saw that the opponent’s break was in his chest.
That was where the most wrong thing was.
If it was really Yu Hang, an ordinary person, it would be broken all over.
How could it be possible that there was only one breach in the chest?
“The rest of the Zhen Gui Si members, you have already killed them, right?” Zhou An said indifferently.
The iron lump controlled by Mi Mo smiled and said, “Of course I had to kill them, otherwise, how could I fool you? It still hasn’t fooled you, but it’s so much fun.”
Zhou An laughed coldly, “What a good ploy, turning into Yu Hang and then using this trick to get close to me, I’m wondering why you didn’t do it?”
“This iron puppet can only be used to change oh, there is not much strength, in fact, I wanted to see if you would kill your good friend, it is a pity that you recognized it.” Mimo said with regret.
“And I’m a person of the casting path, I can sense that you seem to have a soft armor on you, I don’t have this certainty, so I might as well continue to lie to you.”
This tone was like a pervert.
Zhou An felt that this was indeed a pervert.
No one would reveal their background, but this guy in front of him did so, and the entire time he only said two words.
-Fun.
To be able to hang on to fun and also use it as an end in itself was indeed a bit perverted.
Although perverted people would never admit that they were perverted, but in Mi Mo’s case, even Zhou An felt perverted.
“Talk about it, release Yu Hang, whatever you want, I can give it to you.” Zhou An slowly said.
Mi Mo cheerfully said, “Then you have to get a good result in the Casting Dao Competition, by the way, let me remind you oh, don’t look for me anymore, you won’t be able to find me, in case you get tired of looking for me, I’ll take your friend’s life.”
“Why do you have to stare at me?” Zhou An raised an eyebrow.
Mi Mo smiled, “Because it’s fun, you see I learned the Cremation Method for fun, killing people is also for fun, and now I’m letting you participate in the Casting Dao Competition, also for fun.”
“Don’t play yourself in.” Zhou An slowly said.
“If you can really play me to death, that would also be fun.” Mi Mo let out a big laugh.
Zhou An felt that such a person would feel perverted even if he was a pervert.
“I will catch you and then let you experience this feeling.”
Without asking for the desired information, Zhou An directly swung his long knife, and the iron puppet in front of him turned into a pile of rubble.
“Clang!”
Sheathing his sword.
Without stopping, Zhou An turned around and headed to the Zhen Gui Si.
After his last experience, no one would stop him from coming to the Zhen Gui Division this time.
Zhou An had also made up his mind.
To be here first and explain the situation.
This time, the Zhen Gui Division was estimated to have suffered heavy losses, and it would definitely not end well.
In that case, everyone would have the same enemy, and there would be a lot of room for maneuvering.
As expected, there was no surprise to Zhou An.
After Zhou An told all about what happened, Zheng Shifu became furious.
“Snap!”
The table was slapped and cracked open, and a powerful aura flowed out of Zheng Sifu’s body, filling the room and making people’s hearts skip a beat.
“These beasts! When really, they take themselves as potted vegetables!” Zheng Sifu said angrily.
“Incoming!”
As he finished those words, a large number of Zhen Gui Si members poured in from outside the room.
“From now on, conduct an exhaustive check of the entire Yunlai Mansion one by one, and immediately inform as soon as there is any news!” Zheng Sifu gave the first order.
The members of the Zhen Gui Division didn’t dare to be slow, and immediately said yes and immediately left the room, which soon became empty again.
At this time, Zheng Sifu slightly subsided and turned his head to look at Zhou An.
“Zhou An, if there is any news, I will also talk to you, let’s combine our efforts to pluck her out.”
Zhou An did not refuse.
He knew very well that being targeted by such a female pervert, the outcome was bound to be not good, and only by getting rid of this female pervert would he be able to relax.
Right now was to wait for the news.
Zhou An also did not stay and left the Zhen Gui Si, returning to the residence where Qi Shuo was.
At this point in time, it was already almost evening, the sky was gradually getting darker and the sun was half-set.
There were still quite a few people on the streets that were hurrying past.
Zhou An pushed open the door to his room just in time to see Qi Shuo preparing to go out.
Qi Shuo also saw Zhou An and said, “Brother Zhou, you’re just in time, let’s go out for a meal.”
At this point in time, Qi Shuo was prepared to go out for a meal.
After all, Zhou An hadn’t been back, so he couldn’t starve, but the big deal was to pack some and bring it back.
Unexpectedly, he happened to run into Zhou An.
Zhou An was also hungry at this time, and without much thought, he walked out with Qi Shuo.
There were many restaurants in Yunlai Mansion.
Qi Shuo had also been here before, so naturally, he knew his way around and took Zhou An to the largest of the restaurants.
Meng Hua Lou.
As the largest restaurant in the Yunlai Mansion, there was an endless stream of people coming and going, and many people were eating and chatting here.
Some were merchants coming and going, some were jianghu people who had landed here, and there were also quite a few young people from the Casting Road eating here.
Not to mention, Zhou An, on this journey, looked at the bustling and lively Meng Hua Building, and thought to himself that this Casting Dao Competition had increased a lot of tax revenue for Yunlai Mansion.
After the two came, they went up to the private room on the second floor.
Qi Shuo was very rich and ordered a table of dishes, both of them were also in the line of work and were particularly good at eating.
While eating, they also chatted.
“Brother Zhou, what are you going to do in the next few days? If there’s anything you need, feel free to let me know, I can go to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce to help you figure it out.” Qi Shuo patted his chest and assured.
While Zhou An was at the Zhen Gui Si, he also made a trip to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce and explained his intentions.
For this situation, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce naturally gave its full support, after all, there was a huge benefit to this Casting Dao Competition.
Zhou An was indifferent, just like what Blacksmith Zhao said, sometimes showing a little bit was just right.
Let’s say watching that kind of particularly exciting video.
Wearing a little bit of clothing was a lot more exciting than stripping all the way down.
Although Zhou An also felt that his analogy was not quite appropriate.
But who cares about that!
Just drive and be done with it!
The wheels of the car pressed directly and messily, coming to press one against the other.
“I’m going to take advantage of these few days to go around, you’re busy with your own business, don’t worry about me.” Zhou An took a bite of Meng Hua Lou’s best roasted chicken and felt that it was quite fragrant.
It was worthy of being one of the best roasted chickens.
He planned to take a trip to the blacksmith store that Old Zhao said in the last few days and then take another trip to the gang that Shopkeeper Xie said.
Just come well, naturally want to spread the relationship, after spreading, walking is also much smoother.
Qi Shuo nodded and raised his wine glass again, clinking a glass with Zhou An.
The two of them ate quickly, to be precise, it was Zhou An who ate quickly.
When he went back later, he could also practice the Butcher’s Sword Technique in the meantime.
What should be said or not said, the dough was really convenient, just put it in the pink money bag and nothing would happen.
Time gradually passed, and the meal slowly came to an end.
Zhou An and Qi Shuo drank the last of the wine, and the two of them were ready to go back.
Qi Shuo also had something to do, and he also had to plan out his itinerary so that this Casting Dao Competition would go smoothly.
Although even Blacksmith Zhao had said that Zhou An was a sure winner in this Grand Competition, he couldn’t be a layabout, could he?
Otherwise, it would make Brother Zhou feel useless.
That wouldn’t be good.
The two of them followed the stairs and went straight down.
Between men, sometimes a drink will make the relationship much better.
Qi Shuo felt that his relationship with Zhou An had gotten a lot closer.
Following the stairs, Zhou An and Qi Shuo reached the first floor, and they were about to go out.
However, they hadn’t thought that before they could walk out, there was a sudden commotion from outside the door.
Noisy voices came, and the people who hadn’t gone home yet were also crowding around.
Zhou An also felt puzzled.
It was reasonable to say that the law and order in a big place like this had always been good, so how could this scene occur.
Soon, in addition to the sound of the people’s footsteps, there were also noises of clamor and angry curses, and they were accompanied by the sound of gold and iron clanking together.
