Chapter 62 How much is your life worth?

This was the strength of the Grand Master. Zhang Nanli knew it, but he still felt a little sigh after witnessing a killing that took less than ten breaths.

He knew that the Grand Master was powerful, otherwise how could he let his old servant leave without worries.

He turned his head, and under the moonlight, the man was wearing a white robe, with long hair disheveled, and a belt tied casually around his waist. He walked out of the room with a lazy look on his face, like a banished immortal.

Not far away, some messy footsteps sounded. The movement here alerted the guards of the Qin family, and they could vaguely see his cheap sworn brother Qin Tian leading the way.

Zhang Nanli cupped his hands towards Lin Huaian and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for saving me."

Lin Huaian glanced at the sixteen corpses on the ground, then glanced at Zhang Nanli, who was smiling, and shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me."

Zhang Nanli was stunned, with a puzzled look on his face.

Lin Huaian took a step forward: "What's your life worth?"

Zhang Nanli opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer this, because no one had ever asked him such a question. Those with more power than him were not so boring, and those with less power did not dare to ask such questions.

Lin Huaian ignored the other party's dull look and continued to speak: "You are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, in charge of the world's money and food, and you hold the lives of thousands of people in your hands. It can be said that the life and death of these ordinary people can be determined by your thoughts. It’s not an exaggeration, I think your life is very valuable and immeasurable.”

Although he didn't know what he meant by these words, after receiving the personal praise from the Grand Master, even Zhang Nanli, who was planning in the old city, had a brighter smile on his face, and said humbly: "Master Lin, I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary person. Nothing compares to Master Lin's coolness of killing an enemy from thousands of miles away."

Lin Huaian ignored the polite words and said: "Your life is of immeasurable value. I saved you tonight, which means you owe me a life. I will ask you to do something of equal value in the future, and you must not shirk it."

Zhang Nanli was stunned for a moment. Was he just waiting for this move when he was praising him?
Looking at the serious look on the old man's face, Zhang Nanli also frowned. He felt that this matter was not simple. It seemed that he had been involved in it. His scalp began to feel numb. He was worried about the item of equal value in Lin Huaian's mouth. I am afraid that I will not be able to do it if I say it later.

Lin Huaian glanced at Qin Tian who was accompanied by a group of guards, and pointed outside the courtyard: "There is another one outside, bring him in."

Qin Tianzheng took a knife and stabbed the hearts of each of the sixteen corpses on the ground one by one, on the left and right and in the middle. He deliberately stabbed them several times because he heard that some people's hearts are in different positions.

The origins of these people were unknown. The uncle didn't tell them, and he didn't ask. Now that he heard the uncle's words again, he immediately nodded and walked out of the courtyard.

Lin Huaian's attention turned back to Zhang Nanli, looking at the latter's frown, he said calmly: "Don't think that I'm trying to repay a favor. After all, you are Xiaotian's sworn brother, how could I use this matter to pinch you?" ?”

"Your old servant has always protected you, but this time he dared to leave even though he knew he was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Isn't it just because I'm here? You want to take advantage of me and use me as a pawn to protect you, so of course you have to pay. At the same price, you should be glad that you and Xiaotian have become sworn friends, otherwise it would not be an exaggeration for me to kill you a hundred times based on what you did tonight."

Lin Huaian's words reached Zhang Nanli's ears, and he suddenly realized that he was in a high position, and everything he had done over the years had been dirty tricks of intrigue, frame-up, and leverage. These were all common tricks. He was staying tonight. The Qin Mansion was accustomed to thinking about problems in the same way as before, but now I remembered that the person in front of me was a great master...

He actually plotted against the Grand Master.

At this moment, Zhang Nanli didn't feel dissatisfied at all. He was actually a little happy that he was finally sworn in with that little Qin Tian. "Master Lin is very righteous." Zhang Nanli clasped his fists, acquiescing to what Lin Huaian said before.

Outside the courtyard of the Qin Mansion, an ordinary-looking man was shivering. He was one of the countless masters of the Great Chu Sword Pool. However, he was mainly engaged in matters related to intelligence. This time, Zhang Nanli was found. He immediately contacted the master of Sword Pool after hearing his whereabouts. He was not good at assassination and fighting, so he kept waiting outside.

It wasn't until the sixteen bamboo spears made a sound of piercing the air, piercing through each of the sixteen masters of Jianchi one by one, that they no longer survived, that he knew that something big was going on.

Among these sixteen killers, there is a junior grandmaster in the lead, plus fifteen first-class masters. There is only one junior grandmaster beside Zhang Nanli. This assassination, no matter how you calculate it, can be successfully completed, but the sudden death of the sixteen killers directly hit the target. It messed up all his plans.

The man was very nervous, holding his breath and did not dare to make a sound. He wanted to leave here quietly and did not want to follow in the footsteps of the sixteen killers.

He wanted to leave, but he didn't dare to move. He was afraid that if he moved, he would alert the people in the courtyard, so he stabbed himself through with a bamboo spear.

The people in the courtyard didn't kill me, so they probably didn't find me...

When faced with life and death, many of the thoughts in a man's mind become naive.

He thought for a while, breathed a sigh of relief, his mind started to work quickly, and he finally gritted his teeth and prepared to take a gamble.

He knows the Turtle Breathing Technique, which can temporarily cover his vitality and deceive his opponents.

The people in Jianchi are all very skilled in using this method, and he is no exception.

The man began to use the Turtle Breathing Technique, then chose a comfortable posture, walked to the ground, closed his eyes, and looked like a dead person.

At this time, after receiving the order, Qin Tian had already picked up the knife and walked out. Soon he saw a man lying on the ground, who should be the one the uncle mentioned.

He knelt down and began to investigate. He found that the man was not breathing and had no life.

Qin Tian habitually picked up the knife and stabbed the man's heart several times.

After stabbing him, he discovered a strange thing. The sixteen killers inside were all stabbed to death by the uncle with bamboos, but this guy didn't have any wounds on his body. How did he die?

If he couldn't figure it out, he just stopped thinking about it and just treated it like an uncle. Anyway, at the level of an uncle, it's not unusual to beat a cow from afar. Qin Tian opened the courtyard door and said to Lin Huaian: "Uncle, what do you want?" What are you doing seeing a dead person?"

Lin Huaian silently glanced at the corpse on the ground, and then looked at Qin Tian holding the knife, looking like a fool, and didn't say much. He waved his hand at him and signaled to deal with it; he just pretended that he didn't make it clear. I think it is necessary to tell Qin Tian first next time whether the other party is alive or dead.

Zhang Nanli on the side smiled brightly and said: "Master Lin, thank you for the rescue tonight. I will take my leave in advance. Tomorrow I will go shopping in various prefectures and counties in Jiangzhou, find some friends to borrow some money, and try to make up for the [-] yuan as soon as possible. Spiritual stone.”
