The prince is very cruel

Time passed, and soon it was the hour of You.

The dark night was beautiful, and the West Lake gradually became quiet, with only some lewd sounds occasionally coming from the flower boats.

Clatter... A not-so-big cargo ship slowly came out of the night, breaking through the ripples on the lake and arriving at Lotus Pier. Five pots of flames were clearly visible on the bow.

"Prince, it's them!" Shengqi whispered.

Guan Ning, who had been waiting for a long time, opened his eyes suddenly, and a gleam of brilliance flashed across his eyes.

At the same time, dark shadows emerged from the darkness like ghosts and stood behind him. Each of them had sharp eyes, daggers in their hands, and a terrifying aura around them. They were the Twelve Heavenly Beings of Yipintang!

Each of them was recruited by Guan Ning himself. They are skilled in martial arts and have reliable character. In addition, they were trained by Guan Ning himself. They can be said to be the ancient version of the "special forces".

"Is that the head of the Yipintang on the other side?" a rough voice came over.

"It's me. You are the Three Tigers of Liangzhou, right?" Guan Ning stepped forward, his robes fluttering in the wind as he put his hands behind his back.

"Hahaha, it's me, it's me!"

"The hall master is really straightforward. He comes here in person to trade. What a promising young man!" A rough voice laughed.

The cargo ship was getting closer and closer, and we could see seven or eight people standing in front of the deck. The three people in the lead were extremely burly, dressed in a very sturdy style, and had a strong gangster-like aura.

boom!

A very long board extended from the deck to the shore of the stone bridge.

"Master, I am Liu Hei."

"The goods you want are on the ship. I wonder if you could invite me to meet on the ship to check the goods and make friends." A big man with a face full of black moles spoke with a smile on his face, looking very enthusiastic.

Then he gave a wink, and someone pried open a box. With a clang, a faint light came out from inside, and it turned out to be pieces of pitch-black iron ore!

Once forged, you can create any weapon you want.

You know, in ancient times, means were limited and mining iron ore was extremely difficult. However, this thing is the basic foundation of the armed forces and can be said to be more expensive than gold!

Guan Ning was overjoyed. He had been looking for this thing for a long time. He wanted to use it to forge a batch of Zhuge Crossbows to further expand his strength, but the government control was too strict and he had never been able to get it.

"no problem."

He agreed immediately and took his men aboard, but suddenly, a swordsman from Liangzhou blocked their way: "Wait!"

"We are new here, so it's better to be cautious when doing business for the first time. I wonder if the master can go on the boat alone?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in Yipintang changed.

He whispered a warning: "Prince, they are swordsmen, not good men and women, be careful of their tricks!"

Guan Ning couldn't help but think of Qin Yao's words, saying that there were many strange ships and unfamiliar faces nearby, but if he refused, the deal would probably be aborted.

After a brief hesitation, he said with great skill and courage: "Just be careful and alert, I will go and meet them."

Everyone frowned, but when they thought of Guan Ning's terrifying methods that were completely inconsistent with his thin appearance, they stopped trying to persuade him: "Yes."

creak, creak...

Guan Ning walked onto the other side's boat step by step.

"Please!" Liu Hei stretched out his hand.

"Please." Guan Ning glanced around calmly and without making any expression. The dense muddy footprints on the deck were definitely more than just the eight people on the surface. He couldn't help but become more alert.

As soon as he walked into the cabin, the door was quickly closed.

Several swordsmen stood apart, blocking the four directions in an instant, and there seemed to be faint breathing and footsteps outside the window.

Guan Ning, who was a top special forces soldier in his previous life, of course noticed it. His eyes sank slightly, revealing a murderous intent. Did he really want to rob his fellow thieves?

"Hahaha!"

"I didn't expect that the hall master is so brave at such a young age. I, Liu Hei, admire him!"

"Come, let's have a couple of drinks!" Liu He invited warmly and personally poured a glass of wine for Guan Ning.

Wow!

The aroma of wine is everywhere.

"Master, I'll drink it first as a show of respect." Liu Hei didn't wait for him to refuse, he drank it all in one gulp, and poured it down with the cup to indicate that not a drop should be left.

Guan Ning glanced at the white porcelain wine glass, the corners of his mouth raised slightly in disdain, as if he had seen through something, and declined politely: "Brother Liu, I am not in good health and cannot drink."

"I think we should look at the goods first, and then take the money in one hand and the goods in the other, right?"

"Humph!"

"Boy, my eldest brother offered you a drink and you dared not drink it? Are you not giving me, the Three Tigers of Liangzhou, face?"

boom!

A burly man slammed the table hard, causing a loud noise.

"Second brother, don't be rude!" Liu Hei pretended to scold.

"Master, I failed to discipline you properly. I apologize to you. However, I, Liu Hei, really want to make your acquaintance. Please do me the honor of visiting you."

After saying that, he picked up another glass of wine.

Seeing that the other party was still forcing him to drink, Guan Ning said calmly, "If you want to do business, then we can exchange goods and money and remain friends, but there's no need for these little tricks."

Suddenly, all the swordsmen from Liangzhou changed color.

Liu Hei's smile froze: "Sir, what do you mean?"

"There's something in this wine." Guan Ning took a glance.

Suddenly, the entire cabin was silent, and you could hear a pin drop. The swordsmen were shocked. How did he know?

a long time.

Snap... Snap!

Liu Hei clapped his hands: "Hahaha, as expected of the head of the First Rank Hall, the most important figure in the capital, he can even see this."

“I have to say, it’s amazing!”

As he spoke, his expression gradually turned sinister, like a smiling tiger changing its face.

"What a pity, you can't get out!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the relationship was broken off and the atmosphere in the cabin suddenly changed.

Ssssssssss…

The swordsmen all drew out their steel swords in unison, and as if it was premeditated, the cold light kept flashing.

Guan Ning's handsome face was full of knife-like gleams, but he remained calm, and even sat there without moving, with his black hair dancing casually.

He said domineeringly: "If I dare to come in, I can go out."

"I advise you not to cause trouble for yourself. I don't want to kill anyone. You still have a chance to regret it. Leave the things and I will still give you the money." He wanted to complete the transaction in a low-key manner and did not want to provoke investigation by the government.

The Liangzhou swordsmen sneered, ignoring his leniency and mocking him, "You boastful brat!"

"Believe it or not, I can crush you to death with just one hand!"

Guan Ning shook his head helplessly. Why did he always have to force himself to take action?

Liu Hei approached at this moment: "Haha, you don't think I am a thief who eats thieves, do you?"

"Since you're about to die, I'll tell you the truth. Three months ago, you beat a young man to death in Yun County. Do you remember?"

Guan Ning narrowed his eyes and fell into memories.

"His grandfather is the head of the Yunjun clan, Master Jia!"

"He's issued a hunting order in the martial arts world, offering a reward of one thousand taels of gold for your head!"

Hearing this, Guan Ning's eyes flashed, and he remembered that he had indeed killed someone in Yun County, but that boy took advantage of his power to bully others and forced good women into prostitution, so he really deserved to die.

I didn’t expect that he was the son of a powerful family!

"One thousand taels, they are really willing to spend it." He smiled.

Liu Hei was so excited that his face flushed. "That's right, one thousand taels of gold. And Old Master Jia promised that if you chop off your head, the Jia family will unconditionally agree to one of our conditions!"

"The killing order sent shockwaves through the underworld. I heard that Lou Xinyue, number two on the assassin list, has already come to the capital. I never thought that the three of us would get there first. Hahahaha!"

He laughed as if Guan Ning was already a piece of meat on the chopping board.

"Lou Xinyue?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise. He had heard of this woman.

The Dawu Dynasty was in turmoil. The knights used violence to break the law and the court was powerless to control it. Prostitutes, bandits, thieves, water ghosts, Taoist priests and others appeared one after another, and various lists came into being. Lou Xinyue was the second female killer on the Jianghu killer list. It was rumored that she had superb swordsmanship and was cold-blooded and ruthless. No one had ever seen her true face because those who had seen it were all dead.

The most famous thing about this woman is that she once successfully assassinated a prince of the grassland and is now a wanted criminal in the grassland tribes!

It seems that this hunting order is a bit tricky, but the current priority is to deal with these swordsmen.

Guan Ning spread his hands and said, "If that's the case, you all must kill me?"

Liu Hei laughed fiercely: "Boy, I know you are not easy to mess with at Yipintang, but I, Liu Hei, am not a pushover either!"

"That woman in Lotus Pier is your woman, right?" He said with a sinister smile, threatening, "I've already sent people to look for her. If you don't want her dead, just let me chop off your head."

"Otherwise, collect that woman's body!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Ning's calm eyes instantly emitted a tangible murderous aura, and the whole person seemed like a god of death who had resurrected from a sea of ​​corpses and blood. He was full of murderous aura, completely different from his previous weak image.

In an instant, the temperature of the entire cabin dropped sharply, like an ice cave!

The dragon has reverse scales, if you touch it you will die!

"You, shouldn't, touch, her!"
