Chapter 81 Enraging the Red Tiger?
Chapter 81 Enraging the Red Tiger?
"This knife?"
Lei Yan usually uses a knife or a sword.
Lei Yan was very fond of the Tang Dynasty-style horizontal sword design of the Hundred-Refined Blade and wanted to try it out as soon as she picked it up.
After verifying the quality of the Hundred-Refined Knife, I was even more pleasantly surprised.
"What a fine knife! This must be an absolute divine weapon."
Lei Yan's biggest hobby is collecting all kinds of weapons. He is best at swords and sabers, but he has also studied other strange and unusual weapons. However, he can only say that he knows how to use them, but he is not very proficient.
As a martial arts practitioner, Lei Yan was even more aware of the value of divine weapons.
"You just gave me this treasure so easily?"
Lei Yan returned the Hundred-Forged Blade to its sheath and looked at Ye Tian with a mixture of surprise and complex emotions.
"..."
What kind of expression is that?
Actually, I have many more of these knives.
But Ye Tian would definitely not say that.
"Aren't you going to give it back to me?"
"want!"
Ye Tian decisively pulled the Hundred-Forged Blade closer to his chest. He didn't really intend to take it back; he just smiled and withdrew his hand.
"Um... thank you!"
Lei Yan didn't know how to put it; she felt a sense of first love.
After hesitating for a moment, Lei Yan suddenly took out a jade hairpin from her person and handed it to Ye Tian.
"?"
"This was given to me by my mother. It's... kind of a token of our love."
Ye Tian must have given her such an important treasure as a token of their love, so she couldn't just leave without giving anything in return.
Ye Tian was unaware of Lei Yan's thoughts, otherwise he would have definitely said something, saying that this girl was quite good at imagining things.
"Then I'll accept it."
She didn't find it offensive, even though she didn't know what use the hairpin would be to her.
Seeing Ye Tian accept the hairpin, Lei Yan couldn't help but smile.
"Our engagement..."
"You don't want to?"
"No, I want to marry you!"
Noticing Ye Tian's gaze, Lei Yan felt a little embarrassed, but still spoke earnestly.
"It's not because of my father, it's because of me that I'm willing to marry you."
I still don't like the old system of arranged marriages.
But now, Lei Yan seems to have taken a liking to Ye Tian herself.
"There's no rush to get married. Once I become the leader of the Blackwater Gang, I'll tell you about yourself. What kind of place is the Yueshan Sect? Did you learn all your martial arts there?"
"yes!"
Upon hearing Ye Tian mention the Yue Shan Sect, Lei Yan immediately perked up.
"Let me tell you, don't underestimate the Yue Shan Sect just because it's small. It has a lot of martial arts skills, and many of our disciples are very strong."
The time that follows.
Lei Yan did most of the talking, while Ye Tian listened, occasionally chiming in with a few words.
Whether this girl was genuinely naive or simply hadn't thought things through, she blurted out everything about the Yue Shan Sect as if pouring out beans.
,,,
A day passed quickly.
As darkness fell outside, Lei Yan reluctantly left.
Meanwhile, on Red Tiger's side...
He and his men had been drinking all day, and when they got home, they were reeking of alcohol and staggering as they walked.
As soon as I got to the room, I collapsed and fell asleep.
Completely unaware, a short man was hiding in a corner of the roof beam; it was none other than Money Rat.
After Red Tiger had fallen into a deep sleep, Money Rat quietly jumped up from the roof beam, checked Red Tiger's face, took out an envelope from his pocket, and placed it next to Red Tiger's pillow.
Then he left quietly.
No one was alerted.
It wasn't until the next day, when Chi Hu slowly woke up, that he saw the envelope next to his pillow.
"Um?"
Chi Hu was no greenhorn who had just entered the martial world. Although he hadn't seen the contents of the letter yet, his expression had already become wary.
If someone can silently place an envelope beside them, doesn't that mean they can silently kill them?
"Who could it be?"
He frowned, picked up the envelope, hesitated for a moment, and then opened it.
Since they didn't harm me when they sent the letter, they probably wouldn't have hidden poison in it to target me.
The contents of the letter were very simple.
"I can put you in power, and I can kill you."
The name at the bottom of the signature is Lei Tang.
This letter was handwritten by Mei Yongning. After all, this scholar's status was promoted by Lei Tang. Mei Yongning had seen Lei Tang's handwriting before and even deliberately imitated Lei Tang's tone.
"Trying to scare me!"
Mei Yongning knew Chi Hu's temperament beforehand, which is why he sent this letter.
really.
This letter did not frighten Chi Hu; on the contrary, the fierce look in his eyes intensified.
"Damn it, you think you can scare me, Red Tiger, with such paltry tricks?"
Do you really think you've been in the martial world for nothing all these years? This territory was all carved out by Chi Hu, one sword at a time. What you have in abundance is the courage to kill.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, he threw the envelope aside.
He strode off, preparing to leave.
But as soon as I pushed the door open...
"Whoosh!"
An arrow flew past Red Tiger, almost grazing his cheek.
Reacting swiftly, Chi Hu quickly dodged to the side, raising his hand to touch his face, where a tiny scratch remained.
As the arrow flew into the room, its fletching still swaying, Chi Hu's expression gradually turned ferocious.
"Lei Tang!"
Since you don't dare kill me, then it's my turn to kill you.
It was intentional, absolutely intentional, just to scare him.
Chi Hu was well aware of Lei Tang's current predicament. Having lost Wang Hu and Lei Yun in succession, if he were to lose them as well, Lei Tang would have absolutely no standing left.
Therefore, the other party must have said this specifically to warn me to back down and not dare to actually kill me.
However, this warning successfully ignited the murderous intent in Chi Hu's heart.
,,,
"Is that all?"
Inside a pavilion not far from the Red Tiger Mansion.
Seeing Chi Hu retreat back into his room, Fei Yu calmly put down his longbow, as if that precise arrow was nothing to him.
Besides Fei Yu, Mei Yongning and Money Rat were also in the room.
"Excellent archery skills."
Even though Fei Yu had told him beforehand that his archery skills were very accurate, Mei Yongning still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after seeing it with his own eyes.
"If it weren't for the longbow specially crafted by my elder brother, I wouldn't be very confident at such a distance."
This place is more than a hundred steps away from Chi Hu's room.
Fei Yu did not take credit for it; instead, she attributed the credit to Ye Tian.
"However, if it were the eagle, he definitely wouldn't be able to hit it."
"..."
Mei Yongning had seen comparisons between Fei Yu and Tou Ying before. Although both were archers, they were not the same type. Fei Yu's archery was more accurate, but Tou Ying had stronger observation skills.
I don't know what's the point of arguing about.
Mei Yongning shook his head before continuing.
"That's enough. I've learned that Red Tiger isn't the type to be subservient to others; in fact, he's quite vindictive. There's bound to be a battle between him and Lei Tang, and we're just bringing that fight forward a little earlier."
