The back garden of the capital, Changping County, is an extremely ordinary inn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Shuangli gritted her teeth and looked at the person in front of her smiling proudly in front of her.

She knew that she was really trapped by this old Jianghu, and sadly, at this moment, she didn't know how to untie this trap.

It took a long time for the arrogant laughter to stop, and the Judge of the Thousand Faces was as proud as the big cat had just looked at the mouse under its paws.

In the large guest room, there are two people standing on their stomachs, and the expressions on their faces are really like cats and mice, proud and panicked.

The numbness on Liu Shuangli's knee joint has long passed, and there is no restraint on her body, and she wants to stand up and act now, which is also a matter of time. However, she didn't dare to move now, because she really didn't know what to do with the rumored fox-like and cunning Judge of a Thousand Faces in front of her.

She has been set out by this person what she wants to hide most in her heart, and now she is like a blank sheet of paper in front of this person, how to write, it is only what the other party says.

Liu Shuangli pursed his lips tightly, stopped making a sound for a long time, and after laughing proudly, both sides fell into silence for a while.

The windows of the guest rooms were wide open, and I don't know if it was because there were people in ambush outside, and there was no fear, or because this judge with a thousand faces was too confident and not afraid of any situation at all.

After another long time, the Judge of the Thousand Faces smiled softly, took out the fire fold from his bosom, and leisurely lit all the candlesticks in the guest room. I don't know what incense he put on these candlesticks, and as the candlelight lit, wisps of fragrance wafted in the room, which smelled very good.

After the Judge of the Thousand Faces slowly lit up all the candlesticks in the room, he turned around and chuckled at Liu Shuangli, who was still lying on the ground: "Miss Liu's acupoints on her knees should have already been unlocked, why don't you want to get up." Although I ordered someone to clean this room carefully, it was also the floor after all, and it was impossible to sleep. ”

Liu Shuangli gritted his teeth and stood up. She now understands that some people can be angry just by talking.

"How is Your Excellency doing, take me to the capital to receive the reward?"

"Reward, haha, the girl is really joking. The Judge of the Thousand Faces still laughed.

"Then what do you want?" Liu Shuangli, who stood up, didn't need to be invited, pulled over a chair by himself, sat down, and said, "Also, Your Excellency now thinks that my value is high enough, so can you let go of the inconsequential Lian'er?"

"Lian'er, oh, Miss Liu still remembers that girl. ”

Liu Shuangli snorted: "Of course I remember." ”

The Judge of the Thousand Faces nodded, walked to the chair on Liu Shuangli's side and sat down: "For people who value love and righteousness, Yan Luodian has always been very respectful. ”

"I'm not talking about me, it's Lian'er, you can let her go. Liu Shuangli left the airway.

The Judge of the Thousand Faces shook his head: "That's not good, although that little girl is not as important as Miss Liu, it is also her usefulness." ”

Liu Shuangli sneered: "Yes, your Yan Luo shop is really useful." ”

The Thousand-Faced Judge smiled: "That's not it, that little girl is the type that Lord Hades likes, so we will transfer her to Lord Hades." ”

Liu Shuangli's face changed: "Hades, who is the Hades in your mouth?"

The Thousand-Faced Judge smiled again: "Well, if Miss Liu is willing, she will see it then." ”

"That's not good," Liu Shuangli sneered, "I heard that the people who saw Hades were all dead. ”

"Dead, that's because Hades doesn't want to see you," the Thousand-Faced Judge raised an eyebrow, "If Hades is to be seen, the living can see it." ”

Liu Shuangli frowned: "Then is Your Excellency a living person or a dead person?"

The Judge of the Thousand Faces laughed: "I, neither the living nor the dead, but a half-dead person. ”

Liu Shuangli said slowly with a slightly calm face: "Since I was a child, I have heard that only people who are kind and honest in the underworld can be judges. They go back and forth, judging the reincarnation of life and death of the world, punishing the bad guys, rewarding the good guys, and being the most just and selfless. It's a pity that you are not the real Yama Hall of the underworld, although you are also called judges, but you are neither unjust nor selfless, you Yama shop is just a business shop that collects the money of the dead and buys and sells the living. Hehe, Your Excellency is right, you are not a living person, you are not a dead person, you are just a half-dead person. To be more precise, the people of your Yama shop are all people who have entered the underworld halfway, but they still want to covet yang energy. ”

Listening to Liu Shuangli's indifferent verdict, the second judge of Yan Luodian was not angry at all, but smiled disapprovingly: "Miss Liu, don't you think that no matter how big or small things are in this world, it is a transaction. It's just that some people trade money, some people trade honor, and some people trade feelings. And we, the Yama shop, just don't like to trade life and death. ”

"Dealing with life and death is really unusually domineering. Liu Shuangli snorted.

The Thousand-Faced Judge nodded, and said, "So the girl had better want to open a little." “

"Oh, I don't know what your Excellency is going to do with my life and death?" asked Liu Shuangli with a calm face.

"The girl's life and death don't matter yet. The Judge of the Thousand Faces shook his head.

"Hmph. ”

The candlelight flickered, swaying and jumping, and the wisps of fragrance that floated out with the candlelight, faint, faint, like an orchid musk deer, gradually gathered in the house.

The aroma is very faint and quiet, and I don't feel anything at first smell, but after a long time, I feel a very heavy stuffiness in my heart, which makes people very uncomfortable.

"What kind of fragrance is this?" Liu Shuangli felt that his chest was tight, and his suspicion rose, and he frowned and asked.

The Thousand-Faced Judge smiled, slowly stood up, gently picked the candle flame in front of the table with his fingertips, and said, "This incense is called half a wisp of incense, and ordinary people will be poisoned as long as they inhale it for a quarter of an hour. ”

"Poison?" Liu Shuangli was shocked.

The Thousand-Faced Judge nodded his head: "The reason why this incense is called half a wisp of incense is because as long as a person is poisoned by this poison, half a life is gone." However, this incense will not really kill people, it only takes half of people's lives, and still leaves half of them. ”

"What? You-" Liu Shuangli screamed and wanted to stand up, but suddenly felt weakness all over his body, and half of his body that had just been propped up fell back to his seat with no strength.

"Girl, don't waste your efforts," the Judge of the Thousand Faces chuckled, "Since just now, you have not only inhaled this half of the incense for a quarter of an hour, but you have also been nagging for so long, and your hard work has accelerated the movement of the poisonous incense in the body. Therefore, this poison has penetrated deep into the girl's body, and now you have no way out, and the remaining half of your life can only be driven by it. ”

Liu Shuangli leaned the back of the chair, but he only felt that he couldn't exert any strength in his hands at all, so he could only sit on the chair in vain, glaring and saying sharply: "What do you want to do?

People say that the world is poisonous, and only half a wisp of incense can take people's lives.

Liu Shuangli never believed in such words, because if there was really such a powerful poisonous incense, the thousands of soldiers on the battlefield still needed to kill the enemy so desperately?

But today she was really poisoned by this half-wisp of incense, and she was so poisoned that she couldn't use the slightest strength, it was like losing half her life.

The Judge with a Thousand Faces was really strange, and he talked so much to her, but did nothing but put this poisonous incense on her to restrain her. Not only did he not tie her up in the usual way, but he even put this first-class room to live for her alone, so that people could bring good food and drink. In the eyes of outsiders, she Liu Shuangli is more like a distinguished guest who was entertained by him.

What are your intentions? The judge with a thousand faces, who talks a lot of nonsense, never says anything.

Liu Shuangli couldn't hear the truth, so he simply didn't guess. thought to herself, since the other party didn't want to do anything to her for a while, then she just stayed and waited and saw what happened.

It's like the days of house arrest, just day by day. The time in Changping County has finally entered the day of the winter solstice in November.

As long as the festival arrives, the days are the shortest and the nights are the longest. On this day, the gang of Yama Luo Dian were obviously the guards of the inn guys, and they brought Liu Shuangli a big bowl of hot dumplings at the right time.

Liu Shuangli has been under house arrest by them for half a month, and she has long been accustomed to the days when they treat her more favorably than the mountain bandits. When I saw the dumplings, I didn't say thank you, and after taking them, I ate them unceremoniously.

It can be seen that these guys in the Yama shop, although they are all five big and three rough men, are much better than those bandits when they do these family chores, and the dumplings are very good. In this inn, he pretended to be a shopkeeper, and he also dressed up vividly, and he was not an ordinary capable person.

Liu Shuangli was very strange, why the people of the Han Mansion who had always appeared at any time since she left the capital last autumn had not appeared in front of her since the first day of September, that is, since Xu Zhensheng suddenly appeared on the top of the bandit mountain. It's been a month and a half since the days are counted. With the ability of the people in the Han Mansion, it is impossible not to know that she was under house arrest in the inn by the people of the Yama Shop.

In fact, on the day she was arrested, she suddenly received the note asking her to be careful, and when she guessed, she knew that it was 100% a warning given to her by someone from the Han Mansion. This is enough to show that they knew her condition very well, but why they did not see her again after that day, and let her be caught by the people of Yama Luodian.

Although Liu Shuangli couldn't figure it out, he didn't bother to think about it.

The night of the winter solstice is long, and as soon as the sun is over, the sky is completely dark.

The subordinate of Yan Luo, who pretended to be the second shopkeeper, knew very well that Liu Shuangli was wearing poisonous incense, so he had always been very permissive in his care of her. After delivering the dumplings on this day, I just casually locked the door of the guest room, and the people went to have fun. There was no one guarding the door, and there was no one patrolling the inn's courtyard.

And in the past few days, for some reason, the second judge of the Yama shop has never appeared. (To be continued.) )
