The Golden Age Chapter 493: Desperately desperate

When he returned to Kushui Alley, before the child, Qin Xiao sent Qiuniang back to the yard, thinking that it was late at night, and it was too late to disturb him, and went back to his yard.

The new yard he bought was naturally deserted, and Qiuniang helped him prepare some necessary living expenses.

Qin Xiao lived alone in Guicheng for several years, so this kind of life is naturally not a problem for him.

Tie the horse, return to the house, close the door, then slowly put on the oil lamp, holding the oil lamp about to enter the room, walked to the door of the room, stopped, hesitated, and suddenly said: "If You are here to assassinate me. I advise you to leave as soon as possible. You are not my opponent. If you want to be strong, you can only die here." He slowly turned around and calmly said: "I am in a good mood today and don't want to kill."

The room opposite was dark and the door was open, but at this moment a figure slowly walked out from behind the door.

"It's you?" Qin Xiao's brows tightened after seeing the man's face clearly.

The man was dressed in a coarse cloth, and his appearance was very ordinary. He was not ugly, let alone handsome. He was the easiest to overlook when he was thrown into the crowd, but Qin Xiao recognized him at a glance. The assassin Shadow Bolt that stabbed himself.

He never expected that Shadow Bolt would find his own home.

Shadow Arrow looked calm and looked at Qin Xiao and said, "Congratulations on your promotion to Dali Temple's Shaoqing."

Qin Xiao sighed and said, "You shouldn't have stayed in Kyoto, let alone come here."

"Why?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Shadow Arrow's mouth: "It's because you killed the old Hongling Road. Only I can prove that you are the murderer in the whole world, so you can just kill people to eliminate future troubles?"

Qin Xiao walked over and put the oil lamp on the table, and smiled: "You are right. I killed the Hongling Old Way. Only you saw me appear in the view of longevity that night, so you are the only one. Eyewitness. The court seems to be still investigating the case, so if it can kill you, it will be foolproof."

"If you really want to kill me, you won't wait until today." Shadow Arrow walked over, sat down on the bench by the table, and said: "I have nowhere to go. If you really want to kill me, you can do it now. , Anyway, this life was given by you, and it will be returned to you tonight."

Qin Xiao thought for a while, and finally said: "With your wisdom, I should think of my purpose for letting you keep the bow and arrow."

"It's just to put blame on others, it's not a clever method." Shadow Arrow said lightly: "If it was just a bunch of idiots from Kyoto Prefecture who were investigating this case, I might really think that I was the murderer, but Hongling's old way is a palace. The people here, and they are the imperial alchemists. If such a person dies, the palace will not remain indifferent. The Superintendent in Purple Clothes will inevitably intervene in this matter in secret." I was fighting against people in the forest that night, and they must have judged that the person who dared to attack Hongling Old Road must not be me."

"Why are you so sure?" Qin Xiao smiled.

Shadow Arrow said indifferently: "People like us are people who will never move the court if they are not a last resort. Once the officials are killed, they will definitely cause trouble, and it will be difficult to mix in this business. So. When we do business, the best choice is to assassinate those who have nothing to do with the government. If there is a need, we will also pay a very high price. If we are cautious about assassinating officials, it is like Hongling Old Road. We will never touch anyone who is connected to the palace."

"It seems that you are not brave."

"The purpose of killing is to survive." Shadow Arrow snorted coldly: "If the killing brings disaster to yourself, then you would rather not do it. Once someone in the palace has an accident, the Prisoner in Purple will definitely be involved. As long as the Superintendent of the Purple Clothes takes action and uses their intelligence and strength to target a person, there is almost no way for that person to go."

Qin Xiao walked over, sat down on the bench opposite to Shadow Arrow, and smiled faintly: "Since I know I will carry this pot, why not leave Kyoto? Kyoto is all from the Purple Clothes Prison, you are under their noses Shaking, are you worried that they can't catch you?"

"Involved in the murder of the Hongling Old Road, I would think that I would run away." Shadow Arrow looked at Qin Xiao with a blank face: "On the night of the incident, the Ziyi Supervisor had already taken action, so if I hurried Escape from Kyoto, they will soon fall into their sight, maybe they have long been a prisoner of their ranks. The most dangerous place is often the safest place. They think I will escape from Kyoto, so I just hide in In Kyoto, this is how you can protect yourself."

Qin Xiao gave a thumbs up and said: "It's really smart!"

"Qin Xiao, you blame me on me and let the prisoner in purple clothes chase me. I have nothing to say, and I won't blame you." Shadow Arrow sighed: "But don't you worry, if I really fall In the hands of the Ziyi Prison, they tortured to extract a confession. What if I can't stand it and recruit you?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Will you confess?"

"Many people know the sixteen gates of the Penalty Department. As long as you enter the Penalty Division and walk through those sixteen gates, there is nothing unfaithful to confess." Shadow Arrow said with disdain: "But in my eyes, the sixteen gates It's just shit, it can only scare ordinary people."

Qin Xiaodao: "In this way, you are not an ordinary person."

Shadow Arrow ignored Qin Xiao’s uprising, and said: “The 16th Gate of the Criminal Ministry is a game played by children in the eyes of the Ziyijian eunuchs. The real master of torture in this world can only be in the Ziyijian." The corner of the lips. There was a ridicule: "They are incomplete people. Such people are vicious, but they are not comparable to ordinary people." After a pause, he calmly said: "In the hands of the purple prison, I can't guarantee that I can To the end."

"I have something to say straight." Qin Xiao looked straight at Shadow Arrow and asked: "Why are you looking for me tonight?"

"Even if the Prisoner in Purple knew that I was not the real murderer who killed Hongling Lao Dao, but in order to find the real murderer, he would definitely find a way to catch me." Shadow Arrow slowly said: "So now I can't pick up any Although there are not many people in our business, everyone has their own way of doing things. Even if they deliberately want to cover up, they will inevitably leave clues. The eunuchs of the Ziyijian group only need to find the hair strands. A little clue like a child, it is very likely to follow this clue to find out."

"I see, you are afraid of being found by the prisoner in purple clothes, so you can no longer live by murder for the time being." Qin Xiao said: "This is not a bad thing, there are many things in the world, why do you want to do murder business? "

Shadow Arrow sneered: "If you can't take business anymore, you won't have any income. I entered Beijing this time, and I didn't have much silver on my body, and the business that was hired to kill you was also bad, and this business was not able to be done. I succeeded, but I lost my money. After that night, I was disguised as I was in Kyoto, and I had run out of silver on my body." Shaking my sleeves, empty, and saying the saddest words in the most indifferent tone: "I am now With no money, eating is a problem."

Qin Xiao was taken aback, looked up and down Shadow Arrow, and then tentatively asked: "You...are you here to borrow money?"

"If you killed me that night, I won't have to worry about eating." Shadow Arrow said indifferently: "If you didn't kill Hongling Lao Dao and blame me that night, Ziyijian would not look at me. , I can naturally continue to do business and survive." Looking at Qin Xiao, I am full of confidence: "That’s why I became the one I am now because of you. I came tonight to give you a choice. Either kill me with a single knife, or borrow some money to keep me going."

Qin Xiao looked at Shadow Arrow with a serious look, and finally couldn't help it anymore, and laughed out loud.

"This is funny?" Shadow Bolt frowned, a little unhappy.

Qin Xiao sighed: "Your martial arts is not weak. With your skill, it is not difficult to get some silver in Kyoto. Why did you become penniless?"

"Are you letting me steal and rob?" Shadow Arrow's gaze was grim: "There are rules in my business. Since I am an assassin, I must abide by the rules of this business. Those who are hired by others and sell their lives for others have money for granted. The assassin is not a thief who stalks the dog, or starves to death, and I will not be low enough to do that kind of thing."

Qin Xiao believed in Shadow Bolt's words.

An assassin who would rather die than betray his employer is of course a very disciplined person.

"Are you still staying in Kyoto?" Qin Xiao asked.

Shadow Arrow said: "One hundred and eight in Kyoto, millions of people, like a sea, as long as I hide it and not show my deeds, even if it is the Purple Clothes Prison, it will not be able to find me. And they must I thought I had escaped from Kyoto a long time ago. Even if I wanted to catch me, my attention would not be on Kyoto. In the first half of staying in Kyoto, they couldn’t find out my whereabouts, so this matter faded away. At that time I left Kyoto again. , Naturally it is safe and sound."

"I understand." Qin Xiao said: "You are here tonight because you want to borrow half a year's living expenses from me."

Shadow Arrow nodded and said: "Yes, that's what it means. Don't worry, you can borrow some money and let me get through the trouble. I owe you some money. I won't lose you a penny in the future."

"By the way, after talking for a long time, I don't know what your name is." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "What is your name?"

"Shadow Arrow!"

"I want to know your name, not your nickname." Qin Xiao said: "You ask me to borrow money, and the loan is half a year's living expenses. If I don't even know your name, I will lend it to you. Does it seem too stupid?"

Shadow Arrow hesitated, and finally said: "Lu Xiaolou!"

"Xiaolou?" Qin Xiao was a little surprised: "Such a weird name?"

"Your name is not much better." Shadow Arrow said displeased: "Hurry up, do you want to kill me, or lend me money, don't waste time."

Qin Xiao thought for a while and said: "I am a lazy person, it is easy to kill you, but it is very troublesome to deal with your corpse. In that case, it is better to lend you some money directly, which is so easy."

Lu Xiaolou nodded and said: "Thank you, I borrow your money and I will return it to you sooner or later."

"Don't rush to thank you first." Qin Xiao said: "I borrow your money and don't charge any profit, but you have to do something with me. If it is done well, I will be in a good mood and borrow more from you. It doesn’t matter if you can’t do it well, I won’t kill you or lend you money. You will live and die on your own. It doesn’t matter whether you starve to death or freeze to death."
