Chapter 157 Red Leaves
Selling oneself to kill people! ?

This word sounds fresh.

Generally, they sell themselves to bury their father, sell themselves to bury their mother, sell themselves to bury their grandfather... and so on.

Chu Qing tilted his head and looked twice, and found that the people around him turned a blind eye to it.

Occasionally, a few people would stop before the figure, but would just shake their heads and sigh, then hurried away.

Seeing that there was a wonton stall not far away, Chu Qing came to the empty table and sat down gently.

He waved his hand and asked the shopkeeper for two bowls of wontons. After the shopkeeper brought the wontons, Chu Qing asked casually:
"What's going on over there?"

The shopkeeper was not surprised to hear someone asking about this. He just sighed and said:
"This girl is quite pitiful..."

"girl?"

Chu Qing took a look at her. She was curled up there and it was hard to tell whether she was a boy or a girl.

"Isn't she just a girl?"

The shopkeeper said:
"She came to Dingxing City three days ago. No one knows where she came from or what happened to her...

“He was in a state of disgrace, his face was scratched, and although he was still alive, he looked as good as dead.

“I heard that it was because our Iron Blood Hall’s Grand Master Tie Lingyun was in Dingxing City, and she went there to meet Grand Master Tie.

“I don’t know why, but I didn’t see anyone afterwards.

"With the little money he had left, he bought a sign and wrote the words 'Selling My Body to Kill' on it.

"How can we ordinary people dare to get involved in murder?

“Even if there were a few curious people, they were scared away when they saw the girl’s appearance.

"Some of the heroes passing by tried to talk to this girl, but after a few words, they all left.

"So far, we still don't know her name, where she lives, or who she wants to kill...

“Just because she felt sorry for her, some people gave her some steamed buns so that she could have something to eat.

“But, these days, no one has surplus food.

"It's okay once or twice, but if it goes on for a long time, no one can help... I estimate that in two days, he will starve to death."

Chu Qing nodded upon hearing this and gave the shopkeeper a little more silver.

And Wenrou lowered his head to eat.

After eating and drinking, he did not go to stay with the girl who sold herself to kill people, but turned around to find a place to stay.

Finally, we chose an inn, booked two rooms, and stayed there for the time being.

After that, Chu Qing went to buy some clothes and two felt hats, one for him and Wenrou.

Dressed like this, even if Wen Fusheng were present, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize that the person in front of him was actually his own daughter.

In the afternoon, Chu Qing went out for a walk.

The main purpose is to find out about Liu Yu.

It was discovered that this person had a good reputation among the people and had never done anything evil in his life.

But I don't know who wants to kill him and why...

Thinking about what happened in the Seven Villages of Lianshan before, Chu Qing thought that if the people who wanted to kill Liu Yulai were not doing so out of personal vengeance, it might have something to do with the situation Dingxing City was facing now.

In particular, Chu Qing also heard another piece of news.

Because of the massive attack by the Liehuo Hall, Lu Zhiwei, who was originally in charge of Dingxing City, is no longer in Dingxing City.

Dingxing City will be temporarily handed over to Liu Yu for management.

If Liu Yu died at this time... the situation would become much more complicated.

The beneficiaries include those who have been eyeing Dingxing City, as well as Lu Zhiwei's other two subordinates.

The star-chasing sword Guo Wang and Fei Yu Jiang Chun Hua.

However, it remains to be seen whether this preliminary information is reliable or not, and we need to pay more attention to this person.

Especially in the current situation, if the beggar reports the appearance of the Sword Ghost back to the Mirror of Evil, someone will surely come to investigate.

At that time, they should start with Liu Yu and lure the "Sword Ghost" to appear.

In order to stabilize the situation in Dingxing City, Chu Qing also knew that Liu Yulai was currently recruiting people...

Chu Qing felt that this approach was somewhat blind.

Who knows if there will be people with ulterior motives taking advantage of this opportunity to sneak in.

But since Lu Zhiwei dared to hand over Dingxing City to Liu Yu, he should not be a fool, and he might have other intentions for this move.

The information obtained was roughly sorted out.

It was already the middle of the night and Wenrou had already gone to bed. Chu Qing thought for a moment and changed into a nightgown. He did not wear the iconic white mask of the "Night Emperor", but covered his face with a mask.

He jumped out of the inn window.

He walked across the rooftops and after a while, he arrived at a place to rest.

From a distance, I saw the figure on the street had covered himself with a straw mat at some point and was trying to curl himself up into a ball, but he was still shivering from the cold.

Chu Qing stood there and watched for a while, then suddenly he was like flying smoke, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the figure.

Then he reached out and grabbed it. His body did not fall to the ground, but instead went up like a piece of green smoke.

The person in the palm of his hand suddenly panicked and reached out to grab Chu Qing's wrist.

He screamed subconsciously, but after only one scream, he covered his mouth tightly.

Chu Qing flew with this man all the way, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at an inconspicuous corner of Dingxing City.

He put the person on the ground, took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and threw it in front of her.

The girl was still in shock, but when she saw the oil paper bag, she grabbed it and tore it open. There was some cooked meat inside. She didn't care whether there was any problem with the meat or not, she just grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth.

Chew and swallow hard!
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows:
"I heard that you seemed to have made up your mind to die, but now it seems that you don't want to die so much."

The girl ate too fast and choked and slapped her chest repeatedly.

Chu Qing threw another water bag at her. She opened it hurriedly and swallowed a few mouthfuls fiercely. Then she let out a long breath and looked at Chu Qing with trembling hands and feet.

Under the night sky, Chu Qing saw her face clearly.

It is indeed very miserable.

The knife marks were crisscrossed and messy, and this wound was not an old one like Sun Xiaoxiang's. It was not treated in time and was bound to fester and fester.

It is described as being like a ghost, which is frightening.

But her voice was trembling, hiding fear:

"I...I don't want to die...

"It's just... I'm useless... I can't get revenge, and there's no point in living...

“If…if someone is willing to buy me and help me get revenge, I can live for that person.

“If no one…no one is willing to buy me…I can’t get revenge.

"Then it doesn't matter if I die... They might still be waiting for me on the road to the underworld..."

Chu Qing looked at her silently and said softly:
"Tell me your story...Who is the person you want to kill?"

"Star-chasing sword...Guo Wang!"

Without any hesitation, the girl said a name.

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows.

One of the three generals under Lu Zhiwei?

Now Dingxing City is led by Liu Yulai, and Guo Wang is the assistant...The person this girl wants to kill is actually this person?

No wonder even if someone from the underworld asked about it, he didn’t dare to get involved.

The matter involves the Tiexuetang, how many people dare to take over?

Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly:

“Go on…” “You…you want to buy me?”

The girl looked at Chu Qing, her eyes full of anticipation.

There was just a scar running across one of her eyes. Although the eye was not blind, it was still hideous.

Chu Qing simply sat on the ground:

"If you tell me clearly, I will consider buying you."

"Even if... the person I want to kill is Guo Wang?"

The girl looked at Chu Qing very carefully, as if she wanted to see something in Chu Qing's eyes.

It's a pity that Chu Qing's eyes were filled with calmness.

He was not frightened because the matter involved Tiexuetang, nor did he back down because of the two words "Guo Wang".

After taking a deep breath, the girl spoke again:
“I live in Mangrove Village… a small village next to Fallen Leaf City.

“The person in charge of Luoye City is Zhong Beitang, the fourth hall master of Tiexue Hall.

“That day, I followed my father and brother to Luoye City to sell vegetables.

“It just happened to be a busy time. I was young and liked to go forward. Even though my father and brother tried to stop me, I couldn’t help but go and see what was going on.

“When I got there, I heard people say…

“It’s Dingxing City’s Star Chaser Sword Guo Wang, who came to visit the Fourth Hall Master Zhong Beitang.

“For many years, my father and brothers have always told me that the reason why Mangrove Village has been safe and sound for so many years is because we have the protection of the Iron Blood Hall.

“And these hall masters and masters are all heroes who protect the people.

“To be able to meet these legendary, high-ranking people… I, I am very happy and excited.

“Especially, that Star-Chasing Sword Guo Wang actually glanced at me.

"I almost jumped up with joy...but I didn't know what I would pay for this one look..."

She never dreamed that Guo Wang, whom she had met during the day, would find Mangrove Village the next night.

The girl and her family showed great respect to this great hero.

When asked why Guo Wang came to Mangrove Village, he just said that he was passing by and missed his place to stay, so he came to disturb them for the night.

No one doubted this...

It was not until the evening that Guo Wang, who was originally living in the side room, suddenly touched the girl's bed.

The girl was shocked, but Guo Wang covered her mouth with his hand.

"Follow me, you will enjoy endless benefits! From now on, you will no longer be a country woman selling vegetables. You will enjoy endless wealth and glory!"

It was like the devil's whisper, ringing in my ears.

For a moment, the girl actually wanted to agree.

Guo Wang is a high and mighty figure. The fact that he could fall in love with a woman like me is something he could never achieve in his entire life.

She should agree... How dare she refuse? What right did she have to refuse?
But...it shouldn't be like this!
Although her family was poor, she had friendly brothers and loving parents.

She had seen how her father treated her mother and how her brother treated her sister-in-law.

She knows what a loving couple is.

If you want to do that kind of thing, you should have three matchmakers and six betrothals and marry the woman into the family openly before you can do it.

How could there be such an unmediated affair?

So, when reason prevailed, she shouted:
"don't want!!!"

Just this one sound...

When the parents heard it, they rushed over, but were killed by Guo Wang with a single sword.

My brother and sister-in-law also heard it and rushed over.

Guo broke his brother's limbs with a wild smile, and then bullied his sister-in-law in front of his brother.

The girl was too young and she didn't know why she became like this.

I don’t know why the great hero who had always protected them would turn into an evil ghost who bullied them!

All she knew was that her brother was watching her and telling her to run.

But her legs were weak, and her parents' blood was flowing on the ground, soaking her shoes and socks, making it impossible for her to stand up.

She wants to do something...

But what can she do?
She took the kitchen knife and wanted to chop Guo Wang, but Guo Wang just looked back at her and she lost all her courage.

Until my sister-in-law was strangled to death by Guo Wang and my brother was beheaded by a sword.

The girl was completely desperate.

But at that moment, she seemed to have grown a smart mind and she knew what Guo Wang wanted.

So she cut her face with a knife, again and again... She couldn't hurt Guo Wang, but she could hurt herself.

Guo Wang could stop it...but he didn't believe the girl had the courage to do so.

So when the first knife fell, Guo was shocked.

Then he lost interest and just sat there, watching the girl destroy her face beyond recognition with each cut.

Then he clapped his hands:
"Okay, very good, you win."

After saying this, he turned and left.

The girl's kitchen knife fell to the ground, blood dripping onto the ground, and finally she lay on the corpse and cried loudly.

The mother was still breathing, but she couldn't speak. She just looked at the girl and mouthed to her to go away...

The girl didn't want to leave, but suddenly screams and flames were heard in the village.

She struggled to walk out of the room, only to find that... the entire Mangrove Village had been burned down.

She thought she would die in the fire.

Unexpectedly, she survived.

She wanted to go to Luoye City to report it... but before she arrived in Luoye City, she knew that Zhong Beitang had characterized the incident as "horse thieves attacking the village."

Those were the heroes who were high above everyone else.

Suddenly fell from the altar...

It turns out that they are also human beings.

It turns out that some of them are not human.

She didn't know what would happen to her if she went to find Zhong Beitang.

Perhaps, he would help Guo Wang and kill this insignificant ugly guy?
Later, I didn't know where I heard that the Grand Master Tie Lingyun went to Dingxing City. It seemed that something big happened at Luochen Villa...

The girl didn’t know what the so-called big event was...but she knew that Tie Lingyun was a real hero!
Maybe there will be evil people under him, but the one standing at the top might be able to make the decision for himself! ?

She had no confidence in this trip; it was just a desperate gamble.

But she never dreamed that when she arrived in Dingxing City, Tie Lingyun had just left.

Dingxing City is still Guo Wang’s territory.

What should she do?
She decided to take a gamble with God!
Before she died, if someone could help her get revenge, she would sell herself and live for that person for the rest of her life.

If... I really died.

That was his fate. It was his punishment for watching the show. It was his retribution for shouting that way.

In the afterlife, will my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law blame me?
She didn't dare to think about this question... She left everything to God!
After telling all these things in detail.

She looked at Chu Qing:
"My name is Hongye, Shen Hongye.

“My mother said that on the day I was born, red leaves were floating in the sky, and it was very beautiful.

"Mother said...I am also a good-looking girl."
