The night was dark.

In an inconspicuous alley in the inner city, there lived an old bachelor who made a living by hooping barrels.

He has lived here for a long time, and even the oldest resident in the alley doesn't know when he moved here.

He is taciturn and has almost no presence.

Many times, neighbors don’t even realize they have such a neighbor.

In the dark courtyard, the old man who hooped the barrels suddenly sat up, his eyes shining frighteningly in the darkness.

At this moment, he was completely different from his low-key self during the day. His whole aura was extremely sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath.

"Since you're here, why hide?"

The old man said in a deep voice, “Since you have found this place, you should know the rules.

70% of the deposit should be paid now, and the remaining 30% will be paid after the deal is done."

“I’m not here to place an order.”

A voice sounded, and then a man covered in a black robe walked out from the shadows and said in a hoarse voice.

His face was also covered with a black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

"Since you're not here to place an order, then leave. This is not a place for you to have fun."

The old barrel hooper said coldly.

"I want to join the Golden Wind Tower."

The man in black did not leave, but spoke calmly.

"Want to join the Golden Wind Tower? Why?"

The old barrel hooper raised his head, his eyes sparkling.

"Just—it!"

Before the man in black finished speaking, a flash of a knife suddenly appeared, and it chopped towards the old man who was hooping the barrel.

The old man who hoops barrels' pupils contracted and he snorted coldly.

He didn't dodge or evade, but just raised his calloused hand and pressed it hard on the blade.

Ding!
With the sound of metal clashing, the long sword turned around and the man in black stood in the same place, as if he had never moved.

The old barrel maker was still sitting on the bed. He looked at his finger and saw a drop of blood on the tip of his finger.

A hint of surprise flashed across the eyes of the old man who hooped the barrel, and his gaze shifted to the knife in the black-clothed man's hand.

"The list of divine weapons, number 13, the famous sword, Pojun?"

The old barrel hooper said slowly.

"good eyesight."

The black-clad man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and it was obviously not his original voice.

The old barrel hooper didn't care. In Jinfeng Tower, few people would show their true faces.

"Five Fires Shake the Sky, Po Jun Sweep Across, these are the two weapons that Xiang Wentian, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect, used to dominate the world. One of them fell into the hands of the government, and the whereabouts of the other is unknown. I didn't expect it to be in your hands."

The old barrel hooper said slowly, "The knife is good, but the knife skills are even better.

I haven’t seen such a beautiful scenery of Genshan Mountain for a long time.”

"Is this enough to join the Golden Wind Tower?"

The man in black chuckled and asked.

"Do you understand the rules of the Golden Wind Tower?"

The old man who hoops the barrel asked instead of answering.

Jinfeng Tower is not a sect like Shennong Baicao Sect, it is a very loose organization.

But no matter how loose it is, it has its own rules, otherwise it would not have been so long-lasting.

"Appreciate further details."

The man in black said calmly.

"First, the building will take 30% of every mission."

The barrel hooper said, "Second, you must complete a task assigned by the building every year and you are not allowed to refuse.

Third, if the mission fails, one would rather die than reveal the employer’s identity.

These three are the iron rules of the Golden Wind Tower. If you can do them, you can join the Golden Wind Tower."

"Of course, if you join the Golden Wind Tower, you will have the opportunity to learn martial arts techniques, and at the same time, you can enjoy the Golden Wind Tower's news channels according to your level."

The old barrel hooper said.

"can."

The man in black nodded and said.

"In the Blood Exchange Realm, you can generally only be a Bronze-faced Killer, but since you have completed the Blood Exchange and comprehended the Genshan Realm, and you have the famous sword Pojun in your hand, I can make an exception and let you be a Silver-faced Killer."

The barrel hooper said, "Give yourself a code name."

"Jing Ke."

The man in black said calmly.

A moment later, the man in black left the yard of the old barrel-maker. He had a silver mask on his face and his robe had changed its style. There were golden embroidery on the lapels, like wisps of golden wind.

…………

Su Mu walked around most of the inner city and made sure that no one was following him before returning to his residence in the Taiping Division.

After closing the door, Su Mu put away the clothes and mask of the Jinfeng Tower killer.

"It went more smoothly than I thought. But that's true. An ordinary assassin is not considered a core member of the Golden Wind Tower, so the requirements are naturally not too strict."

Su Mu said to himself, his mind moved slightly and he summoned the system panel.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Silver-faced assassin (concurrently), Taiping Commander (seventh rank)]

[Points: 1600 points]

[Realm: Blood Exchange Realm (Body Tempering Extreme Realm)]

[Magic Power: Immortal Golden Body]

[Kung Fu: Xuanhuang Blood Exchange Method (Perfect)...]

[Martial Arts: Kan Water Conception (Great Success), Xun Wind Conception (Great Success), Gen Mountain Conception (Minor Success), Archery (Perfect)]

Looking at the contents on the system panel, Su Mu's face showed surprise.

"I see."

After a little thought, Su Mu understood.

After being promoted to Taiping Duwei, his identities as Sima of Dongcheng Division and ghostwriter disappeared.

Su Mu always believed that the identity of Taiping Duwei was unique and exclusive, and with this identity, he could not have any other identities.

It now seems that Taiping Duwei is not unique.

But a person, no matter how much work he does, cannot receive two salaries from the same company.

Whether it was the Taiping Commander, the Dongcheng Sima, or the ghostwriter, they all took money from the court, so naturally they could not coexist.

It’s like a person cannot be a county official and a town mayor at the same time.

However, the law allows county officials to work part-time as Didi drivers in their spare time.

This is the case with the Silver-faced Killer and the Taiping Captain. These two identities are completely unrelated and can naturally coexist.

Focusing his attention on the identity of the Silver-faced Killer, a piece of information emerged in Su Mu's mind.

The Silver-faced Killer's identity is similar to that of the previous Outer City Commander, and neither of them has basic points.

Completing a task will bring a performance point.

"What a shame. I can't go out and kill people every day just for performance points."

Su Mu thought with some regret.

Even if he could, Jinfeng Tower didn't have so many missions for him to take.

If he kills people every day just for performance points, wouldn't he become a demon?
Although Su Mu wanted points, he would not be led by the points.

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.

The identity of the Golden Wind Killer was not meant for points.

It’s just that someone needs to take the blame for what he has to do.

Jinfeng Tower is just right.

The Inspector General died at the hands of the Jinfeng Tower assassin. What does this have to do with the Taiping Division?
"Assassins and brothels are indeed the oldest and most profitable businesses. I paid myself to assassinate the Inspector General, and Jinfenglou just took the blame and took 30% of the profit."

Su Mu said to himself, "Do the whole act."

He even placed an order at Jinfeng Tower using another identity, specifying that the killer Jing Ke would carry out the task.

Even if the Supervisory Office investigates afterwards, they can only trace it back to Jinfeng Tower.

If the Inspectorate could really uproot the Jinfeng Tower, it would be considered as getting rid of a harm to the people.

Anyway, even Jinfenglou doesn’t know who the employer is, so no matter how they investigate, it has nothing to do with Su Mu.

"The next step is to find the right opportunity to take action."

Su Mu said to himself.

Since he knew that Dai Jin wanted to attack him, Su Mu's choice was to strike first.

…………

On the inner city moat.

A ship was sailing slowly on the water, brightly lit.

No ships are allowed to sail on the moat at will, but there are naturally exceptions for some people.

The reason why this ship was able to do so was because the guest on board was the Inspector General of the Supervisory Department.

The reputation of the Supervisory Office is not well-known now, but this Inspector Lu Dashou is a sixth-rank official and can be considered a high-ranking official in Wuling City.

In a luxuriously decorated cabin on the ship, the sound of a pipa echoed in the room.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Lu Dashou clapped his hands and cheered.

"As expected of Xiang Dajia, who is both beautiful and talented, this pipa music is rare even in the prefecture. I heard that Xiang Dajia played pipa music on the top of the city before, which made all the men in the city excited, and that's how they defeated the level 5 monster tide.

After listening to it today, I found that it is indeed worthy of its reputation. "

The dignitaries and local gentry standing by all spoke up in agreement.

"Lord Lu, you are too kind. I am only trying my best to help. The real contributors are the soldiers."

He bowed slightly to Xiaoyuan and spoke in a cold tone.

"is it?"

There was a smile on Lu Dashou's lips.

He was humble in front of Dai Jin, but when Dai Jin was not around, he was a sixth-rank inspector, and there were not many people in Wuling City who held higher positions than him.

In front of these landowners in Wuling City, Lu Dashou is an absolute big shot!

"I heard that Xiang had personally killed quite a few monsters that day."

Lu Dashou asked, "Could it be that Xiang everyone is also a martial arts master?
I just don't know who inherited your martial arts from?"

"I'm afraid Lord Lu heard it wrong."

Xiang Xiaoyuan's heart tightened, and she said slowly, "How can a girl like me know anything about martial arts?"

"All the flowers fade, only the blooming one is still blooming, bringing all its charm to the little garden."

Lu Dashou suddenly changed the subject and recited two lines of poetry, "Just like no one would have thought that Xiang, who is both beautiful and talented, is a martial arts master.

Who could have thought that our Taiping Duwei of the Taiping Division, a rough man who wields swords all day long, could actually compose such a good poem?

With this poem, will it be passed down through the ages?"

Xiang Xiaoyuan looked solemnly and said, “I feel unworthy of this.

Lord Lu, I suddenly feel a little unwell, so I will take my leave first."

"Don't leave in such a hurry, everyone. I haven't finished what I want to say yet."

Lu Dashou sneered, "Can you help me solve this puzzle?

Why does the Taiping Commander who wrote poems for you look so much like you?
Is there a side to you that others wouldn’t expect?

Could it be that the two of you have some unknown relationship?

In my opinion, it's probably not just that he slept with you."

Lu Dashou sneered.

Xiang Xiaoyuan's face darkened, "Lord Lu, please respect yourself. Commander Su and I are innocent!"

"Master Lu, I'm a prostitute..."

A wealthy businessman couldn't help but say.

"Did I ask you a question?"

Lu Dashou's face darkened.

boom!
The rich businessman was kicked out and fell on the river outside the ship with a splash.

A fierce light flashed in Lu Dashou's eyes. "To everyone, I am still kind to women now, but if you are stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless."

He stood up and kicked the table in front of him into the corner.

Cups, plates, and bowls fell all over the floor and shattered into pieces.

Xiang Xiaoyuan took two steps back, his eyes full of solemnity.

This Inspector Lu is a warrior who has reached the pinnacle of blood transfusion. She is probably no match for him.

Even if she could beat the opponent, she couldn't do it at will.

There was a chaos in the outer city before, and she acted on impulse, and now there are consequences.

The situation in the outer city was chaotic at the time and no one noticed her martial arts.

But now, if she were to take action, the skills and martial arts she had practiced would be easily discovered.

It will be really troublesome then.

What's more, this Inspector Lu pointed at Commandant Su in every word he said, and it was clear that he had ill intentions.

"Master Lu, what do you mean? I don't understand.

Although you are a high-ranking official, if you push people too far, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop the people from complaining."

Xiang Xiaoyuan glanced at the window that had just been broken by the rich businessman and moved her toes slightly.

If it really doesn't work, then I'll jump into the river and escape today.

But if this happens, I will have to wander around the world from now on, and it will be extremely difficult to see Captain Su again.

Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed in his heart, and then his eyes became determined.

"Lord Lu, even though I have fallen into prostitution, I will not allow myself to be bullied."

He said to Xiaoyuan loudly and was about to jump out of the window.

But Lu Dashou was prepared. He moved his body and slapped Xiang Xiaoyuan with his palm.

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the forfeit. Do you think I don't know who you are?"

Lu Dashou sneered.

"I want to see if you would rather die than use the secret skills of the Scent of Fragrance Sect in public!"

Xiang Xiaoyuan's face changed slightly. As expected, he was discovered by someone?
She threw the pipa in her hand away and stepped back.

Click!

Lu Dashou smashed the pipa into pieces with one palm, and the strong wind had already reached Xiang Xiaoyuan.

If she didn't fight back, she would definitely be killed by Lu Dashou's palm.

The officials and wealthy businessmen from Wuling City who were there as a supporting role were all petrified.

They could never have imagined that a banquet would turn out like this.

In a flash, Xiang Xiaoyuan finally made a decision.

Her eyes flashed, and she was about to use her secret technique.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang.

The bulkhead behind Xiaoyuan exploded with a loud bang.

Then a bright knife light suddenly illuminated the entire cabin.

Lu Dashou's face changed drastically and he retreated rapidly.

He reacted quickly, but the flash of the knife was even faster.

puff!

Lu Dashou's body froze in place, and a line of blood appeared between his eyebrows.

The blood line quickly spread downwards, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

boom!
Lu Dashou fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground. He twisted a few times and then became completely motionless.

Those officials and wealthy businessmen looked at each other with horror on their faces.

The figure that just flashed by had a silver mask on his face and golden embroidery on his clothes.

That is, Jinfenglou - the Silver-faced Killer!
Inspector Lu was assassinated by the silver-faced killer from Jinfeng Tower!
