My enemies became my companions

Chapter 249 Kill Ten

"Wan Xifeng, the man Wan Xifeng killed was a newly minted scholar named Du Bingkun. He was born in a poor family, but because of his talent and learning, he became a disciple of Cui Bu, the head of the eldest branch of the Cui family."

"What next?"

“Although Du Bingkun was born in a poor family, but… but it is said that his father once saved a member of the Demon Sect when he was taking the imperial examination. It is said that this member of the Demon Sect was Gongsun Guan, the seventh-ranked Gongsun Guan in the world.

In order to repay the help he received, Gongsun Guan gave Du Bingkun's father a piece of gold paper. I don't know where this piece of gold paper came from. After much inquiry, I only know that it contains some extremely important magic technique from the Demon Sect."

After hearing this, Chen Yi was a little skeptical. At first it sounded like just a story of saving a great man from obscurity, but it was an extremely important skill that was given to someone just like that. Even if it was a life-saving favor, it might be too much, not to mention that Gongsun Guan was a member of the Demon Sect.

"And that's all?"

"That's all..."

Cheng Lin took a few breaths. The blood on his arm kept flowing. Chen Yi had just asked him a series of questions, and he had not had time to press acupoints to stop the bleeding.

"Thank you, Lord Zhigesi... for sparing me a way out."

He deliberately emphasized the three words "Zhi Ge Si" to make the people in front of him fearful and lest he suddenly attack.

After all, all the people from the Zhige Division were included in the Spring and Autumn Roster.

Seeing that Chen Yi didn't move, he was about to reach out and press his fingers on the acupuncture point.

Wow.

A head flew out, and a bowl-sized scar fell in Chen Yi's indifferent gaze. When Cheng Lin died, he still maintained the acupoint-pressing action.

Chen Yi stood up, casually pulled down a section of the curtain in the side room, and slowly wiped the blood off Wu Za Nian's face.

The knife that Min Ning gave her was her family heirloom, so Chen Yi could not afford not to treat it well.

Outside the wing room, there were hurried footsteps and the voices of some servants trying to stop someone.

Turning around, he saw Wu Qingsheng and Luo Nanwu rushing into the room, looking at the corpse on the ground with astonishment, and Chen Yi wiping the blood calmly.

Wu Qingsheng's face turned pale at the sudden change. He kept saying:
"Zun Ming, you, you...are you crazy?"

Chen Yi said calmly, "He was playing coy with me and deliberately led us in the wrong direction. Now that the real direction has been found, let's go."

Wu Qingsheng's face was a little dull, and then he said quickly:
"Are you crazy? Why did you kill him?"

"He is my enemy, so I will kill him. Otherwise, what should I do? Leave it to him to seek revenge in the future and tip off the enemy?"

Luo Nanwu was also shocked. He had not seen blood for a long time since he joined Zhigesi, and he had never seen someone who was still so decisive and ruthless after being included in the list.

He kept asking, "But didn't you just enter the Spring and Autumn Register?"

"Killing is about pleasure. If I can only kill ten people now and I don't kill him, then I am a fourth-rank official in vain, right?"

"you……"

Ronan was speechless for a moment.

Chen Yi walked past the two of them and said casually:
"He doesn't know our names. If you don't tell me and I don't tell him, no one will bother to find Zhigesi to settle the score."

Luo Nanwu was stunned for a moment. It turned out that he had made a plan in a short time.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Seeing his former subordinate act like this, Wu Qingsheng felt that it made some sense, but it was still unreasonable, so he said angrily:
"If you want to kill him, why do you talk so much to him?"

"Be polite, it's what you asked for, Lord Governor."

Wu Qingsheng was stunned and stood there. Finally, he sighed and said, "...There must be some power behind Cheng Lin." "How capable is Zhigesi? Is it more powerful than the Heavenly Family?"

“…But do you know that the An family is behind Cheng Lin?”

Wu Qingsheng sighed and said,

"It's the nephew of the Queen Mother..."

The Lin Party has collapsed, and the court is now controlled by the An family, the foreign relatives, and the Ding'an Party, which can be said to be divided into two. Now Chen Yi has killed Cheng Lin. He was originally at odds with the Ding'an Party. Originally, he was favored by the An family in private because of his contribution in saving the emperor. But now he acts like this. Once the truth is revealed, to put it nicely, it is a case of no acquaintance without fighting. To put it bluntly, it is a slap in the face of others.

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Yi remained calm.

He had already thought about it.

After killing ten people, I will turn against Queen An after the New Year.

"Have you ever heard of Wan Xifeng, old man?"

The three of them got on a small boat. The boatman who was rowing the boat heard the question and thought for a while before saying:

"I've heard of this guy... He loves gambling. When he was young, he was a playboy in Jiu'an Town. His family was very wealthy and he practiced martial arts, so it would not be easy for him to squander it all. Unfortunately, his father was seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed. He was a backboneless person, and he was a bastard, so he squandered all the family's money without knowing why, and even mortgaged the family's cloth shop.

I heard that when his father was dying, his eyes could not close. When a person is about to die, his words are kind and he could not curse. He just pulled his father's hand and begged him earnestly to stop gambling and take good care of his mother.

Unfortunately, the hardest thing to change in the world is one's nature. After two years of being quiet, Wan Xifeng went to the gambling den again. In the end, he owed too much money, and the people from the gambling den chased him to the door, so he ran away. All that was left was an old lady in the almost empty house. The people from the gambling den had no choice. Killing an old woman would be embarrassing if it got out, so it was better to give him some money in exchange for some reputation in the underworld.

Ronan asked without hearing this:

"Isn't it said that he loves his mother the most? Why did he run away as soon as he got here?"

"Yes, so a few years later, after a few years of wandering around in the underworld, he came back and made friends with the Lin family... oh, he should have changed his surname to the Cui family. He went back to that gambling den and not only paid off his debt, but also paid an extra portion as a reward for the gambling den's help in supporting his mother. The people in the gambling den then gave him the name Jiangbei Li Kui."

The old boatman chattered on and on, and the man rowing the boat, who was rowing the passengers coming and going, naturally knew more.

At this moment, he turned his eyes and glanced at the three people. Seeing that they were all wearing weapons, he realized something and said quickly:
"Are you three going to seek revenge on Wan Xifeng?"

Chen Yi neither nodded nor shook his head, but just sat in the boat silently.

Wu Qingsheng replied:
"It's not revenge, it's just a small matter."

"You three don't need to hide anything from an old boatman like me. Over the years, there have been quite a few people who have come to seek revenge on Wan Xifeng. However, I have rowed the boat for so long, but I have only taken them there, and never brought them back—all of them are dead."

The old boatman knew what was going on. Seeing that the three men were calm, he could not bear to see them die, so he emphasized:
"And it is said that this man's martial arts skills are no less than that of Captain Chen of the Western Factory."

All three of them were slightly stunned at the same time.

After a long while, Wu Qingsheng suspected that he had heard wrongly, and kept asking:
"You said this man's martial arts skills are no less than that of Chen Zunming, the captain of the Western Factory?"

The old boatman nodded and said, "Yes, since Captain Chen made great contributions to saving the emperor, there have been many people in the martial arts world who are as skilled as Captain Chen."

"..."

Chen Yi looked strange.

It seems that I have become a famous figure.

The old boatman didn't notice and continued, "Most of those who dare to claim this are not those who seek fame and reputation. They are all quite capable. If you three want to go, I can't stop you. Okay, we are almost there. Jiu'an Town is ahead."
