There is a tavern at the deepest point of the alley in the south of the city.

The tavern has no signs and does not entertain foreign guests, so almost no one knows that this tavern exists.

The owner of the tavern is Xia Qing. He is an honest man and even gives people a feeling that he is indescribable and easy to bully. He rarely speaks, and he rarely sees people. Even if he meets people, he will only smile and have a silly smile.

But no one knows whether he is a fool or not.

Xia Qing stays in the tavern most of his time every day and rarely goes out, as if anything outside is irrelevant to him and does not have any temptation. Because of this, even the neighbors rarely see him, let alone know what kind of person he is.

So in theory, no one will pay attention to such a person, and no one will cause trouble for him - who will cause trouble for a person who is indifferent to the world?

But there are exceptions to everything.

On this day, Xia Qing was no different from usual. She went to the vegetable market in the early morning to buy some fresh fish and then returned home.

As soon as he entered the house, Xia Qing lived stiffly because there was a sudden addition of someone in the house, a young and cold-looking young man.

Xia Qing immediately wanted to scream, but he didn't, because before his voice could be shouted, the person who was originally three feet away from him suddenly moved in front of him, and a sword was already resting on his neck.

The coldness coming from his neck made Xia Qing dare not say a word. He already knew that his life and death had been controlled by this person.

Xia Qing's legs were trembling and she almost fell to the ground.

But he didn't fall down.

Xia Qing looked at the young man pointing his sword at his neck and said, "As long as you can let me go, no matter what you let me do." His voice became sharp because of the fright, and it took a long time to finish it.

A cold light flashed.

Xia Qing thought that the young man had a great murderous intent and wanted his life, so he secretly told me to stop. But he found that the young man had just put away his sword.

Xia Qing found that the young man was really looking at him with a very cold and calm expression. He had never encountered such a look, but he had never seen that person's eyes as terrifying as this person. He felt like he was being stared at by the god of death.

This man seemed to be the god of death, and he must not be provoked or offended.

Bang.

There was an extra silver on the table.

It's enough fifty taels of silver.

The young man said lightly: "Answer three questions, this silver is yours."

Xia Qing nodded quickly, knowing that he had no choice.

The young man said, "What's your name?"

Xia Qing said: "My name is Xia Qing."

The young man said again: "Do you recognize Rikagawa?"

Xia Qing hesitated and said, "I recognize it."

The young man said: "What is your relationship with Lu Kagawa?"

Xia Qing said: "I was his childhood playmate."

The young man smiled and threw the silver to the young man, saying, "You didn't lie, so I won't kill you."

The silver fell to the ground.

Xia Qing could have caught the silver, but when he heard the young man's words, he felt cold in his heart, so he failed.

He took a deep breath and said, "Are you avenging the old man?"

The young man said, "Can you see?"

Xia Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Although Lu Kagawa has offended many people recently, the biggest person he offended is the old man. With his temperament, it is inevitable that he will not be able to let him go."

The young man said: "You are very smart. With a smart person like you, you should not be the owner of a tavern."

Xia Qing said: "I don't think I'm stupid, but I don't think I'm smart, let alone I'm very timid, I just want to live safely."

The young man looked at him for a while and said, "Do you want to become very rich? Do you want to live freely?"

Xia Qing said without hesitation: "Of course I want to."

The young man said: "I can give you a chance, you only need to do one thing for me."

"What's up?"

The young man said: "I need you to betray someone for me."

Xia Qing took a deep breath and said, "Is it Rikagawa?"

"No," said the young man lightly: "Don't you?"

Xia Qing said without hesitation: "I do."

The young man smiled and said, "You don't seem to mind betraying him?"

Xia Qing said: ‘I don’t mind.’

"Why?" said the young man: "As far as I know, you and him seem to be friends from childhood to adulthood."

Xia Qing said: "I'm not. He never regarded me as a friend, and I also thought I was not qualified to be his friend, not to mention that I wanted to take revenge on him a long time ago." A ferocious expression appeared on my face.

The young man said, "Why do you want to take revenge on him?"

Xia Qing clenched his fists and said, "Why did I suffer from my disadvantages since I was a child? He took advantage of it? Why did he live a rich life and make me his servant?"

The young man said, "But why didn't you dare to betray him before?"

Xia Qing said: "I am timid and greedy, so I dare not, but now I have no choice." His eyes were glowing and his expression became very excited.

The young man looked at him deeply and said, "I will give you a lot of money so that you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life, as long as you can meet my requirements."

Xia Qing showed excitement and said, "No matter what you want me to do, then you can make me a dog."

The young man still had no expression on his face, but he felt a little disgusted in his heart.

He was not disgusted with Xia Qing, but sad about the fate of some people. He always believed that everyone should have the right to choose their own way of life, but in fact? It seems that no one can have this power at all.

Isn’t this a sorrow for mankind? But he also knows that this sorrow is everywhere. He only hopes that this sorrow will not appear on him.

After Feng Wuhen explained the matter, he walked out.

Xia Qing thanked her for her, her eyes were already full of hope for the future.

Although he decided to betray Rikakawa, he did not regret it, nor did he regret it at all. For him, this was definitely not a painful thing.

He followed Rikagawa just because Rikagawa could make him survive. He betrayed Rikagawa just because he could live a better life.

As for hatred or hatred, Xia Qing didn't care at all.

He just hopes that he can live a better life.

Meng Xinghun lay on the tree, blowing the cold wind.

He didn't enter the house, nor did he move.

He just stayed quietly on the tree, and no one would notice that there was suddenly another person on the tree. At this moment, he no longer regarded himself as a person at all.

When he becomes a person, it is when he draws his sword. When he draws his sword, it is when he kills Meng Xinghun.

This time the killing is different from before.

In the past, no matter who killed someone, he was in pain.

But this time he was happy to kill.

He came to avenge his revenge and killed Lu Kagawa to avenge his brother Ye Xiang.

Three days later, Rikagawa finally arrived, on a cold night.

He didn't come alone.
