The Shadow Moon Tower, the first a.s.sa.s.sin organization of the rivers and lakes, was as mysterious and powerful as the Tiancang Pavilion. But they don"t have a high profile just like Tiancang Pavilion.
Many people know the existence of the Shadow Moon Tower, but not many people can find out where it was or how to contact the people in there.
Fortunately, Xue Chengwen was one of the informed.
With a huge sum of money, Xue Chengwen came to the largest brothel in the East, the Qiqing pavilion.
At night, except for the flower street where the Qiqing Pavilion was located, the rest of the place was dark. No one can be seen on the road. The deafening silence was quite terrible.
Before the Qiqing Pavilion operates its business, the street was full of people. People come and go. But at night, rich people, who were eager to hide from their elders, will change their usual clothes to prevent unnecessary attention and come.
This was the reason why the Housekeeper stopping Xue Chengwen. But when the driver heard Xue Chengwen"s warning to the Housekeeper, he also didn"t dare to report to the old man.
The carriage that Xue Chengwen used, directly drove into the backyard of the Qiqing Pavilion. Even if someone was watching outside, that someone could only see the carriage and not the person inside.
In the Qiqing pavilion, the lights were bright and hanging everywhere. Even the rocky landscape outside has candle lights, which made it look luxurious.
Xue Chengwen has no interest in the layout of the Qiqing Pavilion. Compared to the rich and luxurious of Qiqing Pavilion, the Xue Family mansion was still far greater.
“I want to see your boss.” Xue Chengwen got off the carriage and directly said to Gui Gong, who was leading the way.
Gui Gong smiled and said: “Young Master, you must be joking. The Qiqing Pavilion is filled with exquisite women, why would look for our boss? I don"t know if this young master likes someone here? But if you don"t, this slave can introduce some young ladies to you.
Xue Chengwen"s footstep didn"t stop, but he still emphasized: "I want to see your boss."
"Young master, our boss is a man, and not serving any guest.” Gui Gong was embarra.s.sed, he firmly shook his head and said: "Even if you have lots of money, our boss will not serve any customer."
Xue Chengwen was a teenager. Hearing those words, he couldn"t help but blush and get annoyed. He added to say: "I want to see your boss. You tell him that I came to see him."
Gui Gong no longer speaks, he just bowed his head. Xue Chengwen, who is the son of a rich businessman, had long dealt with different kinds of people. Naturally, he knows what this situation means. He nodded his head to the guard behind him. The guard took out a silver ingot and said: "Lead the way!"
“Well, this way, sir." Gui Gong happily accepted the money and led Xue Chengwen to a quiet bamboo house: "Young master, just wait here, I will report to our boss."
Not long after, a man dressed in a long red robe walked in slowly. The man"s footsteps were light and slow. He was like a lazy cat from a rich family, who is so n.o.ble and proud.
Xue Chengwen looked up and stared at the man for a long time… …
The man"s beautiful face was not like any ordinary beauty. His beauty can be described as the number one beauty of a country. His long hair was scattered and casually swaying from behind. While walking, his long robe and hair were enough to make a person forget to breathe.
The man was wearing a red robe, but it didn"t make him look like a girl. His beauty also not like women. Even if he hasn"t spoken, no one will mistake him as a woman.
Xue Chengwen just stared in a daze, he doesn’t know how he should react.
The man casually sat down and sneered. He rudely said: “Is young master Xue is a fool? Did you come in here in the middle of the night to make me laugh?”
Xue Chengwen was clever, he immediately returned to his senses. When he does, he saw the disdain look in the man’s face. Xue Chengwen was annoyed to himself, but he tried to remain calm: “I’m sorry, I was lost in thought.”
Xue Chengwen bowed his head to concealed his red cheeks.
The man disdainfully looked up, and proudly said: “Speak, why do you want me to see you?”
The man said casually, but his voice sounds unparalleled and domineering, which could make people dare not to refuse. Xue Chengwen originally wanted to make connections, but now he didn’t dare to talk nonsense. He went straight to the point: “I want to ask you to help me protect a person.”
“Ha ha ha… …” The man laughed wildly. “Protect a person? Young Master Xue, are you joking? I am a brothel owner, not a bodyguard. You seemed have come to the wrong place. Someone come… …”
“Wait,” Xue Chengwen eagerly interrupted the man’s words: “I know this is the Shadow Moon Tower, the place where you guys accept business. I have 100,000 silver ticket, I want you to help me protect a person for a night.”
“The Shadow Moon Tower is accepting a.s.sa.s.sination business. Are you sure that your brain has no problem?” The man looked at Xue Chengwen with eyes full of ridicule as if he was looking at a fool.
Xue Chengwen was angry, the other person doesn’t give him a face, but how could he show his anger?
Xue Chengwen secretly took a deep breath, he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and softly said: “A first cla.s.s a.s.sa.s.sin must be proficient in all kinds of killing method. But as an a.s.sa.s.sin in Shadow Moon Tower, I’m sure it was more than that. I want to protect a person, he was in danger tonight, except your group, I can’t think of anyone else who can protect him.”
“I’m happy with this flattery, my shadow moon’s a.s.sa.s.sins are first-cla.s.s in killing people. Naturally, protecting is a piece of cake. There is no person that my shadow moon cannot kill, nor can’t protect.” The man takes for granted his statement, which made him felt a bit bitter.
Is a narcissistic person always this good?
Xue Chengwen went straight to the important point: “You’re right, except for the shadow moon tower, I really can’t think of anyone else who can help me protect that person.”
This was obviously a compliment. The man certainly listens, he has been so bored lately, so he wants to have some fun. He doesn’t mind getting involved.
The man didn’t even look at Xue Chengwen. He said with a proud tone: “Speak, who do you want us to protect? And who is the opponent?”
“Nannuo Li, the son of the southern emperor. He is now in the east. I want to ask you to send someone to protect him tonight.” Xue Chengwen didn’t hide anything, but when it comes to speaking about the opponent, he hesitated for a moment. He doesn’t know what to say until he saw the impatience to the man’s face. Xue Chengwen closed his eyes and said: “The other party is the East G.o.d of War Xiao Tianyao!”
When Xiao Tianyao’s name was mentioned, Xue Chengwen was waiting for the other party to refuse. But after the man heard the name, his eyes brightly s.h.i.+ne: “Xiao Tianyao? He is a worthy opponent. This business, my shadow moon will accept it, but for 1 million silver tickets.”
Just kidding, how can his first task only be worth 100,000?
“Okay, one million silver tickets.” When Xue Chengwen saw the other party didn’t back out even after hearing Xiao Tianyao’s name, he immediately took out the silver tickets.
Ten pieces of 100, 000 worth of ticket, a total of 1 million.
The man didn’t even look at it, he just said: “My shadow moon tower always finish the job. Nannuo Li will definitely live to see the sun tomorrow.” As for after seeing the sun, it has nothing to do with him.
“I will wait for your good news.” Xue Chengwen got up and fold his hand into a fist, then he left.
