......

It's close to noon.

In front of the gate of Gyeongsan City, people come and go.

A group of black-armored cavalry came from a distance, and in the middle of the cavalry, there was a huge centipede dragged from a log, hideous and terrifying, with cold minions.

There are demons in this world, but there are not many people who have actually seen demons, and the reason is the same as selling parachutes without bad reviews.

And now, when such a big centipede demon appeared in front of the people, Gyeongsan City exploded.

Because, everyone recognized that it was Yan Ning, the eldest young master of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, who was riding a horse at the forefront, and yesterday it was rumored that Yan Ning was going to Black Wind Valley to kill him.

"Yan Ning is not dead?!"

"He came back alive, and besides, he killed a big demon!"

"Hey, I'm afraid this centipede demon has a hundred years of cultivation, right? I've lived so big, and I've never seen such a big centipede, if it's used to make wine, tsk...... It's unimaginable!"

"It's a top-grade master, Yan Ning is really a top-grade master, if this is fake, I'll go to Widow Zhang's house next door to sleep at night!"

"Dead face, remember to go through the back door......"

There are many opinions.

In less than a while, the news of Yan Ning killing the big demon and returning spread all over Qingshan City, attracting the attention of merchants who came and went to Qingshan City.

It is estimated that within three days, it will be introduced to the capital of Daqianguo.

And in a rice shop called 'Rice Zhenxiang' on the West Street of Gyeongsanseong, a shirtless young beggar is cursing.

"Isn't this a blatant deception of me, and no one is helping me?"

"Dog things, it's so hateful, even beggars rob it, and even if you rob the money, you can still strip me naked and throw me on the ground, is this still what people do?"

"How will I pray that the sixth child will be mixed up on West Street in the future?"

"Ahem!" the rice shopkeeper coughed twice, interrupting the young beggar's words, and then glanced at a masked man who had come in at the door.

It was a girl wearing a long black silk dress, with a brown hat on her head, and a long black veil hanging from the edges of the hat, so that she could not see her face clearly.

Judging from the dress alone, this is obviously a rich daughter.

However, around the waist of this "rich daughter", there are seven beautiful brocade cloth bags, on which seven different patterns are embroidered by hand.

There are peacocks, phoenixes, and green dragons.

The young beggar also saw the masked man who came in at this moment, and his originally scolding mouth immediately closed, but his eyes were full of doubts.

There are seven cloth bags hanging around the waist, which means that the other party is a member of the beggar gang, but these seven cloth bags do not seem to be the things of the beggar gang, because they are too "expensive".

"What is the girl's point of doing?" said the bookkeeper with a smile.

"Buy incense. The masked girl replied.

"Hehe, I'm afraid the girl is in the wrong place, right? The smile on the bookkeeper's face did not diminish, and then he pointed to a wooden sign standing at the door.

"There is 'incense' on the film, and naturally there is incense. The masked girl said again.

"Who the hell is the girl?" the smile on the bookkeeper's face finally put away, and his eyes looked at the masked girl's body seriously.

"Tell your shopkeeper to come out. After the masked girl finished speaking, a wooden sign appeared in her hand, with a crane-shaped pattern on it, and there was a word under the crane shape, saying: Punishment!

"Shhh

The bookkeeper's face changed dramatically in an instant.

Without any further hesitation, he just said "Punishment envoy slightly" and turned around and went into the store, leaving only the young beggar staring at the masked girl in front of him.

"What's your name?" the masked girl looked at the young beggar.

"I ...... My name is Qi Lao Liu, mixed ...... Oh, no, I'm mainly in charge of the gate of West Street......" The young beggar's face also changed.

"This ingot of silver is the money for clothes. The masked girl nodded, and then she took out another ingot of silver and tossed it gently at the young beggar.

The young beggar subconsciously took it.

Start with a slight sink.

Not much, only two taels of silver.

But this dress money ...... What is the meaning?

Wait a minute!

Money for clothes?!

The young beggar's face suddenly changed, and when he looked at the masked girl again, it was as if he had seen a ghost, and both legs trembled a little.

At the same time, a middle-aged man with five cloth bags hanging from his waist, wearing a gray and white plain coat and a two-digit mustache quickly came out of the rice store.

"The subordinate Qingshan rudder master 'Jia Baliang' has seen the deputy hall master and the master of the execution!" After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he directly bent down and bowed.

"The deputy hall master...... Is it the Lord who is also the Torturer?...... Alone...... Alone ......"

"Lonely and unforgiving. The masked girl glanced at the young beggar again, and the corners of her mouth raised: "Pray for the sixth child, the matter of borrowing clothes should be cleared, right?"

"Qing?!ah...... It's clear!" Qi Lao Liu's legs trembled, and he almost softened on the ground.

Lonely and ruthless!

One of the most mysterious vice-hall masters of the beggar gang.

Although he is only a deputy, the other party is also the chief envoy of the Beichuan Five Mansions, what does this mean? It means that once all the disciples in the beggar gang of the Beichuan Five Mansions make a mistake, the other party will decide life and death with one sentence.

Moreover, it is rumored that this deputy hall master is the real person in charge of the beggar gang in the Beichuan Five Mansions.

"Very good, the matter of borrowing clothes has been cleared, so what should you do if you just scolded me for being a 'dog thing'?" the masked girl still looked at Qi Lao Liu quietly.

"Plop!"

Pray that Lao Liu finally can't support it.

His eyes rolled for a while, and he collapsed to the ground foaming foam.

"Pretending to be dead is quite similar, if you get up now, I will only beat you once, if you really faint, I will beat you until you wake up. The masked girl looked at Qi Lao Liu, who had fainted in front of her, and said indifferently.

"Thank you for the mercy of the Lord and the 'stick' to his subordinates!" Qi Lao Liu immediately turned over and stood up again, wiped the foam from the corners of his mouth, and smiled with a smile on his face.

"Well, go ahead. The masked girl waved her hand.

"Yes, yes, the subordinates will receive the punishment themselves. Qi Lao Liu patted his buttocks and ran out of the smoke, not daring to turn his head back.

At this time, the bookkeeper immediately closed the door of the rice shop, went outside and hung a wooden sign that said 'closed today', and finally returned to the rice shop.

Naturally, the beggars did not have the rules for serving tea and pouring water.

The masked girl didn't mean to drink water, but just found a chair and sat down, and then said, "Who is the person who sent the edict to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion?"

"Zhenbei Hou Mansion Decree?" Jia Baliang was slightly stunned, and then immediately spoke: "It is a eunuch surnamed 'Liang', accompanied by a total of thirty forbidden army guards, according to the time, he will arrive in Qingshan City tomorrow at the latest, is the master in charge of the execution interested in the eldest young master of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion?"

"No, I'm interested in that eunuch surnamed Liang, you sort out the information about where he has been along the way and who he has met. The masked girl waved her hand.

"......" Jia Baliang was stunned again, but immediately reacted again: "Yes, my subordinates will do it." ”

"Tomorrow morning, I'm going to see the intelligence. With that, the masked girl stood up.

"My subordinates will send you an adult. ”

"No, I don't. ”

The masked girl exits through the side door.

In the rice shop, the account room looked at Jia Baliang with a look of surprise: "Helmsman, this girl is really lonely and ruthless?"

"It's her! The last time our beggar gang was trapped in the 'Nameless Black Mountain', I had the privilege of meeting her once, and it was she who rescued the six elders and us at that time, and the seven 'brocade cloth bags' around her waist were so special that there could never be anything wrong!" Jia Baliang affirmed.

"Nameless Black Mountain?!Is it the notorious Black Mountain?!" When the bookkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Well, if I am given another choice, even if I die, I will never step into that place again!" Jia Baliang's eyes widened, as if he remembered something extremely terrifying.

"Helmsman...... Have you ever seen that demon king?"

"Phew, if Lao Tzu sees the Demon King, can I still stand here and talk to you?" Jia Baliang's expression suddenly changed, he scolded fiercely, and then turned around and entered the store.

"Didn't you see the Demon King......? Hiss!" The account room saw sweat on his forehead, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he immediately opened the door of the rice shop, shone the sun, and suppressed the shock.
