The person opposite him seemed a little impatient, but Fang Jinshu's reasoning was sound, so he had no choice but to continue asking.
"Alright, first tell me who you're looking for. Even if it's someone within our own ranks, I might not take the job."
Assassins wouldn't care about things like camaraderie. For money, they would even assassinate the Lord himself. If they were capable of doing it, they would certainly take the job without hesitation.
"This person's name is Li Lie."
Fang Jinshu kept speaking while carefully observing the every move of the master of Wuyu Pavilion. Although he was wearing a mask that hid his facial expressions, if he were truly involved with Li Lie, there would definitely be subtle changes in his body language when he heard his name.
Her guess was right. The master of Wuyu Pavilion visibly stiffened when he heard Li Lie's name.
"What do you hear he does"
He let out a sneer, “If you’re looking for him, I’d advise you to give up.”
"The Wuyou Pavilion can't kill him, even if I tell you his whereabouts, you won't be able to find him."
Fang Jinxiu's eyebrows were tightly knit.
"Whether we find him or not is our concern. This deal is a win-win for you. Just tell us some information about him, and you'll get a large sum of money. Wouldn't that be nice"
Wuyougge's master was silent for a while, as if considering.
After a while.
"Well, I can tell you about him, but I'm afraid the price might be too much for you to handle."
Fang Jinxiu stared at him intently, "What price do you say"
Today, she would even empty all her valuables to find out about Lee Ryul's whereabouts. Their couple almost lost their lives and suffered four years of separation. She wouldn't be so generous as to just let it go.
"One million taels."
What
Fan Jinshu was shocked, but she didn't say anything. A sense of foreboding grew in her heart.
Who exactly is Li Lie His information costs a million taels of silver, and even the Master of Wuyou Pavilion said they couldn't kill him.
"You're just playing us."
Zong Yu sank his face and stepped forward, his fists already clenched tightly.
He didn't really want to tell us about Lee's whereabouts.
Fang Jinshu grabbed Zong Yu's wrist, signaling him to hold back.
"Ordinary people wouldn't spend a million taels of silver for news about someone they can't even see. I advise you to give up on this idea."
"If you want to live, don't look for him."
Fang Jinxiu let out a snort. "If I insist on finding it."
Isn't it just one million taels
She took out a token from her bosom, on which were engraved the two characters Jing'an.
The master of Wuyu Pavilion saw this token, not only did he stand up instantly, but his tone changed as well.
“This is, the token of King Jing’an!”
"How did you get his token Who are you!"
King Jing'an was the only one in all of Great Xi who had not only survived the power struggle from the previous generation but also gained a fief.
Most of Xizhou was his fiefdom. If it hadn't been for them later going to Muyu and discovering that Fat Grandpa was King Jing'an, and after coming to the capital, Fang Jinshu learned many royal secrets from Fu Shangyuan bit by bit.
She may never discover the true purpose of this token.
Back then, she had casually cured Old Man Fatty's food poisoning syndrome, but unexpectedly the token he gave her was the world's only immunity card.
"Wuyouge doesn't usually inquire about the employer's identity when doing business, does it"
"I have nothing to do with this transaction. You just need to tell me, can this token really be worth a million taels"
No treasure in this world is more valuable than one's own life. With this get-out-of-jail-free card, even the emperor would have to spare your life.
Facing such a good thing, even the master of Wuyou Pavilion couldn't help but be moved.
But after a moment, he changed his mind and agreed.
"Alright, I've taken your commission."
I will tell you everything I know about Lee.
But we can't guarantee the truth, because some of the information we have collected is yet to be verified.
>
The master of Wuyou Pavilion took out the contract. After both parties completed the procedures, he checked the authenticity of the tokens and then spoke.
The person you're looking for is not within the Great Xi Realm.
Fang Jinshu nodded, not surprised to hear this. For so many years, she had also sent people to look for Li Lie's whereabouts, but there was no trace at all.
A person cannot appear out of thin air, nor can they vanish without a trace, unless they were never here to begin with and erased all evidence of their arrival.
"As I expected."
He is from Wumeng.
The master of Wuyougong shook his head. "No, he's not from the Wu Meng nation, he's a prince from Xixia."
Xia
"Yes."
"The Western Xia nation's power was comparable to that of the Great Xi, it wasn't something like the small nation of Wumeng could compare to."
"Li Lie is just a pseudonym he used to infiltrate Daxixi. His real name is Hellie, the third son of the Xixia King, born to the queen. He was extremely favored by the Xixia King and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, would be the next heir to the throne."
Even if I told you his news, and let you know he's currently inside the Xixia Royal Palace, don't even think about killing him, you wouldn't even be able to get close to him.
So, this get-out-of-jail-free card is a lesson for you.
After finishing his words, the master of Wuyou Pavilion made a move to take the token on the table, but Fang Jinshu pressed her hand down faster.
"Wait."
The master of Wuyou Pavilion's face turned very ugly. "How, do you want to go back on your word"
"Do you really think I'm some vegetarian who wouldn't fight back"
Fang Jinshu sneered, "I always keep my word and never go back on it."
"Just such a precious token, you just send it with such little information, a few words. Do you really think we're fools"
The master of Wuyoug Pavilion was furious, "What else do you want"
"The Xi Xia Palace is heavily guarded. Even if the entire Wuyou Pavilion were to move out, they might not be able to get close to Hellie, let alone kill him. I told you a long time ago that we couldn't accept the commission to kill him!"
"Of course, I know how capable the Wuyu Pavilion is."
I didn't say I wanted you to kill him.
Back then, they didn't spare any effort, but in the end, she still put them all in a pot. If Li Lie hadn't been too insidious and despicable, their couple wouldn't have almost lost their lives.
"What else do you want us to do"
"I want the Western Xia's entry document."
The nearby Zong Yu's eyes widened slightly.
"Well, you really intend to go all the way to Xixia to kill him"
Fang Jinshi smiled and said, “The master of Wuyougong is truly magnanimous. I’ve always heard that assassins are cold-blooded and ruthless, but now I finally get to see it for myself.”
"What do you mean!" He could plainly hear the irony in the woman's words, her tone laced with sarcasm.
Back then, all the assassins from the Xi Zhou Wuyu Pavilion were hired by Li Lie and turned against us, ultimately leading to their demise.
We were also forced to kill them, but the death of these killers is ultimately due to Li Lie.
"The master doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates at all. Doesn't he fear that word getting out will chill the hearts of your Wuyu Pavilion assassins"
Even a ruthless killer probably wouldn't want to continue serving such an heartless and unrighteous boss.
Fang Jinshuu brought up past events simply to get Wuyouge on her side, to provide her with more information about Li Lie, and ideally stir up some hatred between them to help her. That would be ideal.
But she never expected that after saying these words, she would inadvertently expose her own identity.
