Chapter 10 Section ten

Chang Baixing was greatly surprised by the old Hu's visit. Chang Baixing returned to the guest house from the foothold of Yongxingfang today. It was already past noon. When he saw the old barbarian sitting in the accountant chatting with the tea servant, he felt a move in his heart. Chang Baixing greeted the tea servant first, and then led the old barbarian to his guest room. Although this old monkey has a huge family fortune and a luxurious life, he always dresses up in a shabby appearance when he goes out.This has become a social disease in Chang'an. All the Hu people on the streets riding on horses and wearing fancy clothes are the second or third generation Hu people born in Central China, or they just came to Chang'an and just came out not long ago. An upstart who made a small fortune.The real big chaebols are all beggars like Lao Hu'er.

The old Hu didn't understand Chang Baixing's jokes, and he didn't have the humor of the past. When he came in, he just sat cross-legged on the mat and remained in a daze. "What happened? Is there something wrong with that pair of tickets?" Chang Baixing also noticed that something was wrong, and asked seriously. The old Hu shook his head, sighed again, and said just now: "Your money is here, here is the certificate of deposit." As he spoke, he took out a book protector from his sleeve, and carefully untied the rope buckle that fastened the book protector. He took out a piece of mulberry paper from inside and pushed it to Chang Baixing.

Chang Baixing didn't reach out to take the certificate of deposit. He felt from the old barbarian's uncharacteristically slow movements that the old man was making up his mind to tell him something.Chang Baixing didn't make any gestures to urge the old barbarian, but as before, when encountering difficult things, he always only uses his eyes, listens with his ears, and speaks less. The old Hu said: "Boy, you've caused a lot of trouble this time." Seeing that Chang Baixing didn't express anything, he could only continue to say: "Now both sides already know that there is such a thing as you, but they haven't figured it out yet. It never occurred to me that they were looking for the same person. However, it is only a matter of time, and soon someone will discover this secret, and then your death will come."

Chang Baixing didn't want to know where the old barbarian got the news, but he knew the old man's ability, and he would not and could not talk nonsense on such a matter of life and death, especially since this book had nothing to do with him. Chang Baixing was arrested, and he could justify himself as an unwitting victim. But what Chang Baixing cared about was how much time he had left to solve this problem. "You don't have much time." The old Hu seemed to have insight into Chang Baixing's psychology. "What do you have to do?" "No, you know I can't do it."

"That's right. I hope you don't mind me making my own decisions. After finishing this matter, I will repay the debt of favor I owed to your father." Chang Baixing's own father had a very close friendship with this old Hu man, but Chang Baixing didn't know that he would owe his father a favor. "That's what happened when your father and I were young. It's been decades, and we haven't had a chance to settle this matter." The old barbarian sighed. "I've made an appointment for you, that Xiaoxing you impersonate, but it's hard to say whether he will take up the business. Alas! No one with a clear mind will cause himself such a big trouble."

In the dark, Chang Baixing couldn't see Xiaoxing's face clearly, but felt that the tall person sitting opposite him was a bit strange, because, compared to his tall and thin figure, his arm holding the car window seemed too short . At this time, it was completely dark, and the carriage left Chang'an and was heading east. Hearing his accent, Xiaoxing was definitely not from Chang'an, his Mandarin was mixed with a strong Yuyang dialect, this kind of accent was no stranger to Chang Baixing who had traveled all over the world for many years. Xiaoxing said: "Originally, since the old leader came forward to find me, I would help anyway. However, your business is well known in Chang'an, and I have made it very clear to my friends on the road. It's not me, and it's already known to everyone." Xiaoxing's voice was very stern, and the high-pitched voice was not like what such a tall person should have. "So, it's hard for me to help with this job. As for business, this business seems to have a lot of oil and water, but it's just a blessing in disguise, and there is no good fortune to bear it."

At this moment, Chang Baixing felt a great disappointment in his heart.This is not because Xiaoxing rejected his request to entrust the business, he is disappointed with himself.He deeply understands what a loser who is overwhelmed by his own strength is. The impermanence of fate that he used to ridicule and despise in the past has finally fallen on his own head today. "Based on your experience, what chance do I have in this matter?" Chang Baixing asked. "Not a single point." "Why." Chang Baixing felt that the other party was too arrogant, and Xiao Shan didn't understand his skills at all.From Chang Baixing's own point of view, it would be a breeze for him to assassinate either Princess Taiping or the prince, but he has not yet made up his mind on who would be the most reasonable one.

Xiaoxing seemed to see Chang Baixing's disbelief, and said with a smile, "If I understand well, Brother Chang has never killed anyone in his life, right?" This Xiaoxing's eyes and ears must be wider than his own. Chang Baixing didn't expect the other party to recognize him. "Since Brother Chang, you have never killed anyone, how can you know that you will handle this matter well?" Xiaoxing said, and at some point there was a sharp knife in his hand.He put the hilt of the knife forward, handed it to Chang Baixing, and said sarcastically, "Don't you know that you guys are all cowards? If you have the courage to kill people, you should kill me right now." This insider. If you didn't have the guts to kill me when you were insulted by me, how could you kill others?"

Chang Baixing understood himself thoroughly, that a thief is a thief, and the higher his level in this industry, the less likely he would be to change his career to do something else, let alone a killer who was completely different from his own profession. "I'm sorry, both of you, Mu Enji is ahead, please get off here, both of you." Xiaoxing very rudely left Chang Baixing and the old Huren in Muenji, forty miles away from Chang'an, and left in a carriage by himself. Chang Baixing discovered a secret of Xiaoxing when he got off the car. Xiaoxing bowed slightly to the old Hu when he got off the car, as a sign of etiquette to see off the guests.This small movement made Chang Baixing's sneaky eyes see that Xiaoxing was a skinny little man, and he sat on a big burden in order to pretend to be tall.

Chang Baixing had mixed feelings for a moment, and stood on the official road and burst out laughing.
