Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 42: Farewell
Seeing the situation below, Mo Wuji realized how ridiculous his previous plan to secretly kill the fat merchant was. Although seven or eight people had died below, the fat merchant actually had an extremely powerful guy under his command. This guy was fighting two people alone, and one of them was Jia Jing.
Jia Jing had come with three people, and now only two were left, indicating that one had been killed.
"I was reckless. If I had come alone, I probably would have returned empty-handed," Mo Wuji sighed.
Yuan Zhenyi said, "You can't be blamed for that. This merchant is probably not simple. Ordinary merchants wouldn't have this kind of expert by their side."
A few more minutes passed, and the fat merchant's last subordinate was slashed in the shoulder by Jia Jing's saber. At the same time, the fat merchant's sword pierced the waist of Jia Jing's companion.
At the same time, Jia Jing and his companion both fell to the ground, seriously injured. Jia Jing went over and, with a forceful chop of his saber, cut off the head of the fat merchant's last subordinate.
The fat merchant was already seriously injured and sat half-seated next to the carriage, not begging for mercy. He probably knew that begging for mercy at this time would be useless.
"We can go now." After saying this, Yuan Zhenyi spread his body out, like a cannonball, and slid down the hillside.
Jia Jing, who had just killed his opponent, was extremely exhausted when he saw Yuan Zhenyi's axe.
"Clang!" After a crisp clang, Jia Jing retreated several steps and fell to the ground.
"Who are you? How dare you attack me? I am from the entourage of the Small County Prince of Xuanliang Prefecture. We have not yet formed a feud, as long as you let go…"
Jia Jing's words suddenly stopped when he saw Mo Wuji coming down the hillside.
He naturally recognized Mo Wuji, and he recognized Mo Xiangtong and Jing Lengbei, who were behind Mo Wuji, even better. At this moment, he knew he was finished. Jing Lengbei's presence here showed that these people dared to move even the Small County Prince, so how could they not dare to move a mere family servant like him?
"Puff." In the space where Jia Jing's voice paused, Yuan Zhenyi's axe turned around and split open Jia Jing's head.
Then, Yuan Zhenyi walked over to Jia Jing's seriously injured companion who hadn't died yet and also chopped down with his axe.
Shiniang looked at Mo Wuji beside her and smiled, saying, "Wuji, I told you there was no need to help. With Zhenyi's skills, these two weaklings aren't even enough for him to warm up."
Although Mo Wuji had experienced a life-and-death crisis in the Thunder Mist Forest, he had never seen such a bloody scene. For a moment, his senses were somewhat unaccustomed.
"This humble one, Yong Yong, thanks the Young Master for saving my life. If not for the Young Master's timely arrival, this humble one would surely have lost my life. This humble one is willing to offer all my property to the Young Master to repay this life-saving grace…" To Mo Wuji's surprise, the fat merchant, who was not dead yet, actually stood up shakily, cupped his fists, and thanked Mo Wuji for saving his life.
Mo Wuji didn't believe that this guy couldn't see that he wasn't here to save him but to kill him. He couldn't help but admire this guy's complete lack of integrity.
"Fatty, you're thinking too much. I'll ask you, where did you get these two women from? Don't make excuses, and don't negotiate terms. If you tell me something that makes me happy, maybe I'll give you a quick death. If you tell me something that makes me unhappy, I won't kill you, I'll peel your skin and pull out your tendons."
Mo Wuji stopped Yong Yong from speaking, directly saying the words of pleading that the other party was about to say.
"It's the Blacktail Bee, a band of marauders from the Lingyong area of the Wuxue Prefecture…"
"So, the Blacktail Bee was also responsible for wiping out the Jing family?" Mo Wuji saw Jing Lengbei trembling beside him and asked the question for her.
"I don't know, I really don't know that," Yong Yong said repeatedly.
Mo Wuji looked at Jing Lengbei and said, "It should have been the Blacktail Bee. There's no need to ask anymore."
Jing Lengbei knelt down and sobbed. She had heard of the name Blacktail Bee, a gang of robbers who committed all kinds of evil deeds.
Mo Wuji raised his saber and directly chopped off Yong Yong's head. The splashing blood made him feel extremely uncomfortable again, but he knew that some things had to be experienced. Not to mention that this fatty trafficked Mo Xiangtong, just the fact that he trafficked women was enough for Mo Wuji to show no mercy.
Yuan Zhenyi skillfully searched the bodies of everyone for gold and silver coins. Including gold tickets, he found a total of sixteen thousand gold coins and thousands of silver coins.
Yuan Zhenyi gave all these gold coins to Mo Wuji. This time, it was Mo Wuji who had proposed coming out.
Mo Wuji didn't put away these gold coins but took out another twenty thousand gold tickets. He divided the money into three parts and handed them to Shiniang, Mo Xiangtong, and Jing Lengbei respectively, "Shiniang, take them and leave quickly."
"Okay." Shiniang didn't say a word of nonsense and directly put away the gold tickets.
Mo Xiangtong knew that Mo Wuji was going to the imperial capital and couldn't take her with him. Moreover, Mo Wuji was also from her Mo family, so she didn't say much and put away the gold coins. Jing Lengbei, hesitating, saw Shiniang's previous actions and knew that declining would only make Shiniang unhappy, so she simply accepted the gold coins.
"Wuji, in the future…" Mo Xiangtong looked at Mo Wuji with some hesitation.
Mo Wuji said in a deep voice, "In the future, if I have the ability, I will collect the debts of the Mo family."
There was one more sentence that Mo Wuji didn't say, and that was that if he didn't have the ability in the future, then the Mo family's affairs could only be forgotten.
"Let's go." Shiniang got on her horse. She was extremely decisive in her actions and words.
Jing Lengbei walked up to Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi, bowed and performed two courtesies, and didn't say anything, then followed and got on her horse.
"I admire this Jing Lengbei very much. Some words don't need to be said." Looking at the departing Shiniang and the other two, Yuan Zhenyi said with great admiration.
After the sound of the three disappeared in the moonlight, Yuan Zhenyi said again, "Let's go too. Let's leave these corpses here."
Mo Wuji looked at Jia Jing and said, "Let's leave the other corpses here, but Jia Jing must disappear."
Yuan Zhenyi immediately understood and laughed, "Wuji, your move is good. I didn't even think of that."
…
The clamor of the night faded away, and the seaside in the morning was rather quiet.
"Ah…" A scream rang out in the Yuehai Restaurant, and it could be heard even outside the restaurant. A waiter ran to Room Seventeen with all his might and knocked on the door, "May I ask if the guest needs any help?"
At this time, to the Yuehai Restaurant, anyone who lived here was an equally ordinary guest, there was no such thing as a Small County Prince. Any room here could be a small prince of a lord country, or a small county prince of a county country. So a small county prince or a small prince was simply worthless here.
Tuoba Qi's angry voice came out, "Someone knocked me unconscious last night... No, they also robbed my female slave... Wait... Where's Jia Jing? Why hasn't Jia Jing returned yet?"
After saying the first sentence and the second sentence, Tuoba Qi finally remembered what he had ordered his subordinates to do before he was knocked unconscious last night, and then he fell silent. Even if he was a Small County Prince, casually asking someone to assassinate a merchant here would be a never-ending problem. Once discovered, not to mention going to the imperial capital, even being able to leave this place would be another matter entirely.
"There's nothing for you to do here. I just had a nightmare." Tuoba Qi waved his hand to the waiter, this kind of thing must not be said.
The waiter turned around and left with a disdainful expression, ignoring this crazy Small County Prince.
