Chapter 126: Doing Business
The man in black looked at Shi Xiaoxiao doubtfully, "Are you serious?"
Shi Xiaoxiao tutted her words and glanced at the man in black with a squint, "Why would I lie to you?"
The man in black looked Shi Xiaoxiao up and down, wondering if what Shi Xiaoxiao said was true.
A man in black came up from behind and whispered in the ear of the leader, "Boss, this woman is a bit weird. Why isn't she afraid of us at all? Is there something tricking her? Should we kill her or not? Don't risk our lives just to make money."
The leader of the men in black tilted his head and whispered, "How can we not kill them? We've already taken the money. Do you want us to destroy our own signboards?"
The man in black whispered, "But, you see, she doesn't look easy to deal with at all. Could it be that the woman deceived us?"
The leader of the men in black pondered for a moment and said, "We'll see what happens!"
The man in black nodded cautiously and passed the message on.
Shi Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes to see what they were discussing, and felt secretly amused.
At first glance, it's an unprofessional small organization that's just trying to make a living.
The person who wanted to kill her must be very poor, as he was not willing to spend more money to hire a killer from a big organization.
Or maybe they looked down on her and thought these minions could kill her.
But no matter what the reason, she would never let that person go easily.
The men in black had also finished their discussion.
The leader of the men in black held a long sword and pointed at Shi Xiaoxiao coldly: "Girl, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending others. We are also taking money to help others eliminate disasters, so we are sorry for offending them!"
As he said this, he raised his sword and was about to attack Shi Xiaoxiao.
Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed slightly, and she flew to avoid the attack of the leader of the men in black.
Her movements were quick and accurate, and with a strange twist of her wrist, she easily knocked away the long sword of the leader of the men in black.
He quickly raised his other hand, took the sword, and placed it between the necks of the two men in black.
He glared fiercely at the group of men in black and said, "Don't move. If anyone dares to move, I will make your heads move."
The group of men in black were shocked.
Their leader was the most powerful person among them, but he was held hostage by Shi Xiaoxiao with just one move.
Seeing this, they did not dare to step forward and fight with Shi Xiaoxiao easily.
As they expected, Shi Xiaoxiao at this time was not easy to deal with.
"head."
"head."
"Just let go of our heads and we won't move."
Shi Xiaoxiao chuckled: "Do you think I'm stupid? Let him go so you can continue to kill me?"
The man in black said nervously, "So what do you want? There's someone else who wants to kill you. We're just taking on a mission. Why would you take revenge on us?"
Shi Xiaoxiao raised the corner of her mouth and said slowly, "It's not impossible to let him go, but you have to tell me who wants to kill me."
The leader of the men in black, who was being held hostage by Shi Xiaoxiao, trembled as he spoke, "In our line of work, we can't easily reveal the identity of the buyer. Even if you kill me, I won't tell you."
Shi Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Really? Then I want to see, which is harder, this knife or you, your words?"
As he said this, he exerted force with his hands, preparing to cut his neck.
The long sword was extremely sharp, and with a slight scratch, a bloody mark appeared on the black-clothed man's neck.
The leader of the men in black was horrified and quickly shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, stop, stop, stop! Isn't it enough for me to tell you, don't kill me."
Shi Xiaoxiao's lips curled slightly, "Wouldn't it have been better if this had been done earlier? All this blood was shed in vain."
The corners of the black-clad leader's mouth twitched.
It seems like she just calculated that he was afraid of death!
The leader of the men in black gritted his teeth and confessed everything, "The one who wanted to kill you is the eldest lady of your Prime Minister's Mansion. If you want revenge, go find her. Now you can let me go."
Shi Xiaoxiao was not surprised at all when she heard the words "Madam".
The relationship between her and Qian had long been hostile, so she was not surprised at all that she would find someone to kill her.
She was just a little curious, "How much did she pay for my life?"
The leader of the men in black didn't dare to move, his eyes fixed cautiously on the sword.
He was afraid that Shi Xiaoxiao would kill him because of her shaking hands.
He took a deep swallow and said, "One hundred taels."
"what?"
Shi Xiaoxiao couldn't help but suspect that she had heard it wrong.
Only one hundred taels, it turns out her life is so worthless.
The leader of the men in black said fearfully, "It's just one hundred taels. At worst, I can return the money to you and we'll be even."
Shi Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, "There's no need to return the money. How about this? I'll make a deal with you. I'll pay double the price for her life, plus you can do me a favor. How about that?"
Man in black, you look at me, I look at you.
No one expected that they came here to assassinate but ended up discussing business.
Unexpectedly, Shi Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all and started doing business with them.
The leader of the men in black was silent for a moment, feeling that this deal seemed to be a good deal.
Just as he was about to nod, he suddenly stopped and asked, "What do you want us to help you with?"
If what Shi Xiaoxiao proposed was more dangerous than killing someone, he would never do it.
It doesn't matter if he is alone, but he has so many brothers, and he can't joke with their lives.
We all get together to make a living, and we can't throw our lives away just for two hundred taels of silver.
Shi Xiaoxiao seemed to know his concerns, "Don't worry, your lives won't be harmed, I'm just running errands."
The leader of the men in black looked at his brothers in front of him and saw that their eyes were shining.
He was obviously moved.
Anyway, I can't kill Shi Xiaoxiao, and I can make two hundred taels for free, so why not do it?
When doing business, the key is to be adaptable. They will do business with whoever offers the highest price.
He nodded, "Okay, you can let me go now."
Shi Xiaoxiao put down the sword in her hand and took a step back.
The leader of the men in black looked at her and asked, "What do you want us to do?"
He looked at Shi Xiaoxiao with a slightly strange look in his eyes. He never expected that they were here to assassinate her.
But it turned out to be a business deal with her.
It’s funny to think about it, this is something they have never experienced before.
Because of this, he looked at Shi Xiaoxiao with a higher opinion.
Shi Xiaoxiao curled her lips into a smile, her eyes full of schemes.
……
night.
In the dead of night, Huo Tingxing was having fun with his concubine.
The palace was heavily guarded, so he was able to give full play to his abilities.
And on the wall of the Huo Mansion, a series of heads poked out cautiously.
The leader of the men in black asked in confusion, "Miss Shi, what are we doing here? This is the residence of the Councillor."
Shi Xiaoxiao glanced at him and asked, "Do I need you to tell me?"
The leader of the men in black pouted, meaning that they dared not act recklessly here.
Shi Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and observed the terrain of the Huo Mansion.
Consider where is the best place to start.
The man in black lay quietly on the wall, waiting for Shi Xiaoxiao's instructions.
Shi Xiaoxiao observed for a while and then came up with a plan. "When they change shifts later, you guys rush in and lead them away."
