Chapter 2 Tsing Yi Building
"Da Li, this mission is not easy, so although we will try our best to capture him, we are allowed to kill the target."
In the spacious meeting hall of Heifeng Village, Xiong Ba, a man with a thick waist and broad back, sat on a large pear wood chair covered with tiger skin, smoking a pipe and looking at Jiang Dalidao, who was as strong and powerful as a tiger or cheetah, with approval.
He is already forty-six years old and has not fought with anyone for several years. He has become fat and out of shape. In the past two years, he has taken in two concubines who need to be taken care of. He has long lost the passion he had in the past when he dared to rob the escort alone with an axe.
It just so happened that the appearance of Jiang Dali in recent years was like a godsend, becoming the fastest and sharpest knife in his hand, helping him deal with many difficult matters. Every dart could be robbed without any effort, allowing him to gain fame and fortune without having to fight for his life.
As a result, he became more and more fond of Jiang Dali and treated him as his own son.
If it weren't for the fact that the concubine he recently took in was very much to his liking, he would even want to give her to the third son as a reward.
"The Black Wind Village leader Xiong Ba has assigned you a capture mission. Mission content: Capture or kill the Ancient Tomb Sect's Swift Whip Qiu Xuemei.
Mission Difficulty: Grade C, Level B
Qiu Xuemei: She has just entered the inner energy realm, an abandoned disciple from the ancient tomb, good at using a long whip, her whereabouts can be found in the secret letter.
Rewards for arrest: 50 cultivation points, 50 potential points, and 50 reputation in the martial arts world.
Rewards for hunting down and killing: 30 cultivation points, 30 potential points, and 30 reputation in the martial arts world.
Do you want to accept it? "
"It's just a Class C mission, I'll take it!"
Jiang Dali hesitated for less than a breath, then spoke with full energy.
If it was an old veteran who had entered the inner energy realm for a long time, he would refuse without hesitation.
Although in this world, he will not truly die.
But if you actively try to die and actually die, the loss will be huge, so there is no need to take the risk.
But as he was only an expert who had just entered the inner energy realm, he thought he could still give it a try.
"Third brother, have you thought it through? This is not a simple person... He has made a name for himself in Yuanzhou."
The second in command, the Deadly Scholar, who was sitting on the left, smiled as he drank his tea and said, "Although you have only just entered the Inner Energy Realm and cannot yet release your Inner Energy, it is still very powerful. If you really want to encounter it, I suggest you use some dirty tricks. Just use the ones I taught you. Don't be too reckless."
"I save it."
Jiang Dali said as he took away the secret mission letter, picked up a pot of old wine that Xiong Ba had placed on the table, turned around, put his knife on his back, and strode away.
"Whether I complete the mission or not, I will definitely return within a month."
"Haha, okay, I will definitely prepare a banquet in advance to welcome you, brother." Xiong Ba laughed and stood up to watch Jiang Dali leave.
The Deadly Scholar slowly put down his teacup, still smiling on his fair face, "If the Third Brother can really complete the task this time, I'm sure the accumulated merits will be noticed by the upper gang and he will be transferred there in advance, right?"
Xiong Ba took a puff of his cigarette and sighed, "Old Third is really a talented person, it's a pity that our Black Wind Village temple is too small."
The Deadly Scholar rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, if I also want to follow the Third Brother to join the gang, what do you think?"
Xiong Ba glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you dreaming about? The only one who can join the gang is the third brother . If he becomes successful, you and I will be able to enjoy the good life with him."
“Brother, brother…”
The Deadly Scholar's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed inwardly, "Water flows to the lowest place, and people go to the highest place. This is why you have been staying in Black Wind Village as a bandit leader for so many years. You are too kind. I am different... I can only apologize to my third brother. It's a pity to lose such a good thug."
…
There are many mysterious organizations in this world.
There is one organization that many people in the underworld are terrified of.
No one knows who the mysterious master of this organization is.
He could be the most ordinary and boring friend around you, the auntie who sells vegetables at your door every day, the owner of a tea shop with superb tea art, or the flower thief who claims to pick flowers as soon as they are ready...
No one knows who the owner of this organization is or what he looks like.
People in the underworld only know that there is definitely such a person.
Just like they know that Xiao Li's Flying Dagger is very accurate, but as to how accurate it is, only the dead know.
Jiang Dali's other identity is a member of this organization - the Qingyi Building Killer.
During these nearly two years, after being reborn into this world, Jiang Dali spent a year growing from a small bandit leader to the third in command of a stronghold, and another year becoming a killer in Qingyi Tower.
So he has both the overt and covert identities.
He also knew all the information on the street, both openly and secretly.
With the identity of a well-informed Qingyi Tower killer, it becomes much easier for him to travel around the world and do many things.
…
Two days later, on a remote road leading to Wonju.
A carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew across the blue sky, landing on Jiang Dali's outstretched, calloused hand.
When Jiang Dali took out the note from the mailbox and looked at it, his eyes flickered and he smiled.
"go!"
He released the pigeon and jumped on his horse.
"drive!"
With a fast horse and a golden sword, Jiang Dali, who had put on a strange human skin mask and changed his appearance and dress, spurred his horse and galloped.
At this time, he was wearing a green robe, with a black veil hanging from his hat to cover his face, looking like a killer from Qingyi Tower.
In the past two days, he has found out through the Qingyi Tower a piece of information that even the people above the village have not been able to find out, which is the information about Qiu Xuemei, the Wind Whip.
Two days ago, Qiu Xuemei secretly returned to Yuanzhou from Huizhou via the waterway.
Now he has settled in a secluded inn in Qingyang County, Yuanzhou, to avoid being hunted by the imperial court.
The so-called hidden inn is an inn that has not been officially registered and is not allowed to open.
Generally, those who run this kind of inn are all gangsters, and they mainly serve those who don't want to be in the spotlight.
As the leaders of the Black Wind Village are a legitimate force, it is naturally difficult for them to investigate the situation of the guests staying in such a hidden inn.
However, Qingyi Tower is a killer organization and not a white-collar force, so it is easy for them to investigate the news.
Jiang Dali not only found out Qiu Xuemei's whereabouts, but also investigated all the martial arts she had learned, her personality, preferences, etc.
There are countless martial arts sects in this world, and quite a few of them are weird.
For example, the Xixiang Corpse-Driving Sect, its members live with corpses all day long.
For example, there is the White Lotus Sect that is always trying to oppose the imperial court, the Sun and Moon Sect that is always fighting with the five major sword sects, the Star Sect and the Five Poison Sect that are researching insect hybridization every day, and so on. Each of them acts strangely and for no reason and is full of evil spirit.
However, compared with the Tomb-sharing Sect, whose members stay indoors all day long, confined in seclusion and almost never appear in the world, these sects seem to be much more open.
Since Lin Chaoying founded the Ancient Tomb Sect, the only disciples who have walked out of the ancient tomb over the years are the Red Snake Fairy Li Mochou who rebelled against the ancient tomb, and Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu who walked out of the ancient tomb on their own initiative. Qiu Xuemei may be considered the fourth disciple to walk out of the ancient tomb.
Since the moment she walked out of the ancient tomb, Qiu Xuemei became an abandoned disciple of the ancient tomb. She did not do anything good in the world. Instead, she committed many unnecessary killings and embarked on a twisted path like the former Red Snake Fairy Li Mochou, which led to her being wanted by the imperial court.
However, Qiu Xuemei was not as skilled in martial arts as Li Mochou. Her kung fu was mediocre and she had no backing. She had been wanted by the court for less than half a month and had been hiding from place to place in a very embarrassing situation.
In this regard, Jiang Dali had nothing more to say except sighing, "This is a poor woman who has been locked up and has developed depression and is ignorant of the laws of the outside world."
He could even imagine it.
How much shock and influence would a woman who has lived in an isolated ancient tomb for many years and only knows martial arts, and has no idea about propriety, integrity, secular ethics, or court laws, experience the moment she steps into the world of martial arts?
Maybe any man who knows some sweet talk can win over the inexperienced Qiu Xuemei.
Then comes the drama of seducing and then abandoning.
Then, it is easy to imagine the plot of Qiu Xuemei turning evil and taking revenge on society.
It is exactly the same sad story of the martial arts world as that of his fellow master Li Mochou.
Even if Xiaolongnu had not deeply loved Yang Guo, and Yang Guo had not abandoned Xiaolongbaozi, I am afraid that Xiaolongnu would have turned evil in the end and still followed the same path as Li Mochou.
Therefore, Jiang Dali has great contempt for the crappy old system of the Ancient Tomb Sect created by its founder Lin Chaoying. It completely distorts a person's normal world view and values.
But this does not prevent Jiang Dali from killing Qiu Xuemei.
Emotional sympathy does not mean physical leniency.
"Qiu Xuemei loves to listen to music the most. After settling down in Qingyang County, she went to listen to a wandering actor singing yesterday.
This Qiu Xuemei is indeed a fool sent out from the ancient tomb. She has been in the martial arts world for several years, but she is still so inexperienced that she even went to listen to music during the period of being wanted by the imperial court.
And... a wandering entertainer just happened to pass by Qingyang County?"
