Chapter 92: Dressed in Brocade at Night, Going to Kill Someone (5)

His armpits were wet, and he felt very uncomfortable. This afternoon, Master Gu had even told him about killing intent. At that time, he did not believe it and thought that Master Gu was bragging.
However, from the looks of it, this thing seemed to be real. The young man just now seemed to really have a murderous aura. If Master Gu knew what this kid was thinking, he would definitely vomit blood. At that time, he was f*cking making it up.
When Su Yun walked to the west of the ancient city, the Master Gu he was looking for was also staggering towards home.
Today was the annual antique exchange meeting of Burning Light Ancient City. There were many tourists who came because of its reputation.
The vendors of the entire antique market took this opportunity to fish in. Master Gu was no exception. He had just had a meal with three rich so-called antique enthusiasts in the city. Not only was the other party respectful, but he also bought a few broken porcelain pieces that Master Gu had collected for many years before he left.
These broken porcelain pieces were found by Master Gu near a few old graves. They were probably bowls and plates used by the other party’s descendants to store chicken blood and other sacrificial items. However, they were old and had been exposed to the wind and sun, so they shattered in the soil.
It was obvious that this thing was not too old. It was only porcelain from the Guangxu era and did not have much collection value.
However, those enthusiasts were too easy to coax. In the end, these broken porcelain pieces were sold by Master Gu in the name of broken porcelain of the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty.
Wasn’t it the Qing Dynasty during the Guangxu era? Moreover, there was indeed a porcelain factory in Hibiscus City during the Qing Dynasty. The kiln factory run by the local government was naturally an official kiln. It was not fake at all.
People were in high spirits when they were happy. Master Gu had scammed a few rich people today, so he drank a few glasses at the banquet. Now, he was walking a little unsteadily.
However, this was nothing. In any case, his house was on the west side of the ancient city.
This was an ancient house built by the ancient city management office. The house was very small, but the courtyard was very big. It was originally planned to be used to rent out and build a hotel and bed-and-breakfast. However, the environment had not been good for the past two years. The original bed-and-breakfast had closed down one after another, and it was much empty now.
The guesthouses and shops on the street where Master Gu’s house was located had all closed, leaving only his family alone. After all, he sold antiques. There was an old saying in the antique industry that said, “You don’t open for business for three years, you can eat for three years once you open.”
The ancient city was not big. Not long after, Master Gu passed through most of the ancient city and returned to his courtyard.
However, just as Master Gu opened the door, a voice suddenly sounded. It was especially cold at night, making one shiver.
“I have a few questions for you.”
Master Gu was shocked and sobered up. He subconsciously turned around and saw a figure in a hoodie sitting quietly at the edge of the well beside the courtyard door.
The orange street lamp shone in from the courtyard wall, gilding the figure who had appeared in Master Gu’s courtyard for no reason. From Master Gu’s angle, he could only see a faint silhouette.
As a big shot in the antique industry, Master Gu still had some artistic cells. He had to admit that this figure had a little artistic conception. Coupled with the well beside the other party, he had the demeanor of an ancient ranger.
However, in the next second, he reacted and his anger began to surge.
This was his house. Not only did the other party sneak into his house, but he also pretended to be pretentious on his well in front of him. This was fine. After all, the other party had only entered the courtyard and had not crossed the line. However, the other party’s condescending tone was really unbearable.
There was no greeting, no opening speech, no foreplay. It was just simple and crude. He went straight to the point. His tone was calm and indifferent, as if he was a dog slave waiting for his instructions at all times. There was a sense of indifference.
Not to mention that during this period of time in Burning Light Ancient City, no one had spoken to him in such a tone in his life.
“Who the f*ck are you? How dare you enter my courtyard and talk to me like this?” He instantly broke through his defense and shouted angrily.
“I don’t have much patience now, so this is the only warning.” The mysterious man in the hoodie’s voice was still calm, but Master Gu could hear the coldness in it.
However, Master Gu was not afraid. He was a local tyrant and was very famous in the antique world of Hibiscus City. All the big shots had to give him some face. In addition, he also had a group of underlings. He believed that as long as he gave the order, this man in a sweater would not be able to walk out of the ancient city tonight.
“Warn me? What the f*ck are you going to use to warn me? If you don’t recognize my face, don’t you recognize the flag at the door?”
It was indeed as the tattooed burly man had said. There was a flag on Master Gu’s courtyard door. It was an ancient flag with the words “Old Gu Zhai” written on it. It looked very similar to the wine curtain hanging by the roadside in ancient dramas.
This was a flag. It was hung at the entrance of an ancient shop to replace the signboard and attract customers.
“Old Gu Zhai. You came to Burning Light Ancient City to earn a living. Didn’t you find out whose Old Gu Zhai is?” he continued to shout.
However, the other party’s figure moved slightly, as if he was frightened by Old Gu Zhai’s name.
Master Gu acutely captured the other party’s actions, and a smug expression appeared on his face. “Now, tell me your background and what you want to do by sneaking into my courtyard.”
However, as soon as Master Gu finished speaking, he suddenly heard a breeze. Immediately after, he felt an itch on the left side of his ear and felt a little warm. Master Gu casually touched it. It was smooth and probably bird feces.
It was so f*cking unlucky. There were still f*cking stupid birds pooping everywhere in this season. So he was even angrier. He shook his hand in disgust and continued, “Tell me the truth. If you can’t satisfy me, I guarantee that you won’t be able to walk out.”
However, in the next moment, his voice suddenly stopped. Even though the courtyard was dark, one could still see his pale face. That was because Master Gu looked at his hand in shock. At this moment, it was already dyed red by an inexplicable red liquid.
Only then did Master Gu remember that he seemed to have felt a trace of the night wind brush past his ears just now. At the same time, he felt a sharp pain. However, he did not care at that time.
There was no time to think. He subconsciously touched his left ear, but he missed.
Master Gu began to tremble. On one hand, it was because of the sudden pain. On the other hand, it was because of fear. The night wind couldn’t blow off his ear. Therefore, his ear must have been cut off by the other party.
The question was, what weapon did the other party use? A gun? It shouldn’t be. Master Gu didn’t see any muzzle flash or hear any gunshots.
Flying knives? It was also unlikely because the flying knives relied on stabbing and not cutting. In addition, no matter how sharp the flying knives were, it was impossible to cut off one of his ears without him feeling it.
This could only be a wound caused by an extremely light, thin, and fast weapon. Only then could people not notice it at that moment.
Master Gu was considered knowledgeable, but he had never heard of such a weapon. His eyes gradually became terrified, and his body trembled slightly in the night. He subconsciously looked at the figure in the sweater, but he realized that the other party had already stood up and was slowly walking towards him.
Immediately, a huge sense of fear surged into Master Gu’s heart. He subconsciously stepped back slowly. He could not see the other party’s face, but from the other party’s gait and the ruthlessness of his attack just now, he could sense something.
The other party did not care about his life. It could even be said that the other party was filled with the desire to kill.
If he dawdled any longer, that mysterious weapon might appear again in the next second.
The target this time might not be his ears anymore, but his neck!
There was a bang. Master Gu looked at the approaching figure and was so frightened that he retreated to the door. He tripped over the threshold and fell into the room. This fall finally woke Master Gu up completely. Looking at the figure who had already arrived in front of him, he screamed at the top of his lungs, “Don’t do it!”
“I’ll tell you whatever you want to ask!”
