Chapter 17: The Silk Merchant
The Flying Knife Man and Ling Li returned to their residence from the Demon King Hall. As soon as the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info entered the door, the flying knife man sighed to Ling Li: "Hey, it seems that the defensive power of this robber tribe is really out of sight!"
Ling Li comforted: "Don't be depressed, husband, wherever my husband goes, I will follow him." Husband, let's go and get ready first, and I'll take care of the big eagle!"
After the flying knife man agreed, Ling Li came to the taming room alone. I saw that the big eagle was still locked in the iron cage, quiet, and it had long been no longer tossing or making trouble. As soon as the big eagle saw Ling Li enter the door, he seemed to be excited to welcome her, and his demeanor was very intimate. Ling Li stroked the neck of the big eagle and asked the guard's minions, "What do you feed it?"
The minion said: "The 11 half-dead monster chickens that were captured by this big eagle, feed them a few, and they won't eat the dead ones!"
Ling Li said: "Very good, remember, it only eats living creatures, and it must kill itself, otherwise it won't eat!" I and the Sword Hall Master are going to go on an expedition with the Great Demon King, during this period, you must take care of the Great Eagle Achievements trained by the Sword Hall Master, and take good care of it!"
"Yes!" said the minion, "Yes, when the remaining half-dead chickens are eaten by him, we will go and catch some live birds for him, but he has been very docile lately, and he is so cute!" said the minion who looked at the eagle and smiled lovingly. After the big eagle caught all the mutant chickens that it regarded as natural enemies, it was naturally docile and calm.
Seeing this, Ling Li went with confidence. Back to the Flying Knife Hall, this day and the Flying Knife Guest cleaned up a little, and the next morning the two went to the Demon King Hall again, only to see that the Great Demon King, Master Liang, the Sword Ghost Chief Soldier and a few foreigners had already arrived.
When Master Liang saw the two of them coming in, he hurriedly complimented them enthusiastically and said, "Mrs. Dao is really a rare miracle doctor in the world! After the magic medicine was dispensed yesterday, all the brothers have improved, and no new illness has been reported. I also took some magic medicine given by Mrs. Dao alone, and today I feel strong and smooth, like an old man who is 10 years younger!
Divine Doctor Ling Li smiled when she heard this: "Thank you Master for your compliment! My subordinates really don't dare to take it! But about these medicines, I was about to tell Master again, and Master will convey them again, and I will tell my brothers to do the same! I tell my brothers to use these drugs in strict accordance with the instructions, especially to strictly control the amount of medicine and not to overdose, because excessive will not only lead to sudden mutation of strange chickens, but also make people die instantly! Exactly: a small amount is a magic medicine, and a large amount is poison! For example, the medicine I gave to Master Liang yesterday can be sniffed under the nostrils, and if you taste it on the tip of your tongue, you can die, which is really not a joke! The amount of medicine I dispensed everywhere is just right, and Master Liang wants to tell them not to use it indiscriminately!"
After everyone heard Ling Li's words, especially those foreigners, they were all shocked when they remembered their accident of causing the strange chicken to overdose on drugs and mutate. The Demon King said: "Master, Mrs. Dao's advice on medication, and Master Lao conveyed it to his subordinates!" Master Liang replied respectfully: "Yes!"
At this time, the Great Demon King took out a delicate carved wooden box, removed the lid of the box, and took out a golden artifact. The Demon King drew out the blade, holding the golden snake scabbard in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, and in an instant, the entire Demon King Hall was illuminated by this treasure in a colorful and dazzling manner.
I only heard the demon king say: "Okay! Flying Knife Guest, Lady Knife, and Waifan Brothers, now that this unexpected condition has been fully controlled, let's set off here!" and turned to the Chief Soldier of the Sword Ghost and Master Liang and said: "Chief Soldier, Master, you two follow my orders, carefully watch over the family and the courtyard, and for the secret of my treasure hunting, except for the two of you and a few key hall masters, there must be no leakage to the other brothers!
The crowd replied in unison, "Yes." Immediately, a few foreigners opened the door of the Demon King Hall, and the Great Demon King had the golden snake's sword pinned to his waist, and everyone followed out of the hall together. I saw a few majestic horses and two sturdy carriages waiting outside the door. I only listened to the report of the accompanying minions waiting on the side: "Qiqi Demon King, the carriage and horses are complete, one cart is the salute goods, and the other cart is loaded with the weapon of the Demon King: Zhenlin Divine Hammer!" The Demon King said: "Very good!" said and turned over on the horse.
Suddenly, Master Liang hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Demon King!" he said and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the Demon King. said: "The demon king followed the path of that, went to the seaside shipyard, and handed this letter to the sea master in the shipyard, so that he could carry out the inspection, pick-up, and delivery of the ship." ”
The demon king looked at the letterhead in his hand, the envelope was not sealed with wax, so he took out Master Liang's handwriting and read it, and said, "Master Xie is thoughtful, Master rest assured!" So, the Great Demon King, the Flying Knifeman, Ling Li and a few foreigners turned over and got on their horses, and a few minions followed closely with the car guards, and the group set off under the congratulations of Master Liang and the Chief Soldier of the Sword Ghost!
The first few days of this group were still in the dense forest of this bandit tribe, and they only walked during the day, and stayed at night at various rudders along the road. Naturally, the owners of the rudders were also respectfully hospitable. The demon king also simply said to these helmsmen to go out and do some business, but as soon as they heard that they were doing business, they thought that they must be going to rob, and they all complimented the big demon king and said: "The demon king will definitely succeed in his own expedition!" The demon king also instructed these helmsmen along the way: "I listen to Master Liang and the sword ghost commander's dispatch, since I have personally conquered, don't go out to rob during this time." ”
Therefore, in the past few days, they have also walked leisurely, and Ling Li and the Flying Knife Ke are more like a couple to enjoy the rare primeval forest scenery in the world. It is said that this day has reached the last rudder on the road of this robber tribe, according to the secret arrangement of the Great Demon King and Master Liang before, there will be an important stop here, and make some preparations before leaving the dense forest. The helmsman had already received a notice, and had been waiting for a long time after careful preparations these days, and when he saw the arrival of the demon king's chariot and horse team, the helmsman hurriedly rushed forward to salute. I only heard the demon king ask, "Are you all ready?"
The helmsman replied, "It's all ready! The little one thought that the Demon King was going out to do some robbery business, but he didn't expect to really do business!"
The Demon King said, "Don't ask more!" The helmsman replied, "Your subordinates don't dare! Saying that, the group entered the last rudder station, closed the rudder gate, and the door was strictly guarded. Entering the house, the Demon King ordered the Flying Knifeman, Ling Li, and the foreigners and the accompanying minions to change into the costumes prepared by the rudder master in advance. It turned out that before leaving the forest, everyone had to dress up as businessmen, the demon king pretended to be the boss of the giant rich businessman, the flying knife man pretended to be an accountant who knew how to make a plan, a few foreigners pretended to be friends and businessmen from outside the ancient Western Regions, and a few minions pretended to be hard laborers in the firm. The group finished changing their clothes and came to the courtyard, only to see that the minions were filled with high-quality silk products in the two carts. It turned out that Master Liang and the Demon King had already made up their minds that during the journey to the seaside in disguise, under a pseudonym, and by land, everyone pretended to be silk merchants selling Chinese silk! Chinese silk has long been well-known at home and abroad, and even if they go to the seaside, they will not arouse anyone's suspicion of the real purpose of these people's actions! At this time, Ling Li came out of her house for the last time after changing her clothes, only to see that the charming Ling Li had become a simple peasant girl, it turned out that she was dressed as a handmade weaver of high-grade silk, responsible for taking care of these precious silk goods on the road, everyone looked at it, just like a mulberry picking peasant girl Luo Fu!
A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, I don't think it's funny. The Great Demon King was very satisfied, took out some jewels from the car and rewarded the helmsman, and said solemnly to the entourage: "Remember! Remember! We are silk merchants, and all words and deeds on the road must abide by the rules of silk merchants!"
At this moment, the words did not stop, and suddenly the birds above the heads of the people were frightened, and they scattered and fled, and many frightened leaves fell on the new clothes that they had just put on. Before everyone had time to get angry and slap off the stolen goods that stained their new clothes, they suddenly heard a hiss, and a black majestic eagle flew down in the sky and rushed straight down towards everyone! Everyone quickly dodged, but the big eagle landed next to Ling Li safely, this is the big eagle domesticated by the flying knife man and Ling Li! The big eagle saw Ling Li, although she had changed her clothes, she still recognized her and became intimate, and rubbed her head back and forth on Ling Li's new clothes. Ling Li had no choice but to stroke the back of the eagle's neck with her hand, it seemed that the eagle was very sensitive to Ling Li's move!
Everyone was stunned by this sudden change, and they forgot to brush the leaves off their bodies again. The Great Demon King's smug expression just now was also swept away, and he said angrily to the Flying Knife Man and Ling Li: "Could it be that I just came out of the helm and made a mess again?"
Ling Li hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, the Demon King, this time is different from the last time, this eagle is inseparable from me, just like I can't do without Brother Dao! As he spoke, he whispered a few words to the eagle, and the eagle really flew away obediently!
It turned out that the big eagle was guarded by those minions in the taming room, and it was also very well-behaved, and these minions liked it very much, so they opened the cage door, and it did not escape. But this big eagle didn't see Ling Li come to the taming room to see it for a few days, and gradually became more and more panicked in his heart, and vaguely felt that Ling Li seemed to be walking away, thinking that he had caught those strange chickens a few days ago after listening to her orders to catch those strange chickens for meritorious service, why did he abandon it, so this big eagle became more and more anxious, and he didn't eat the birds and sparrows that these minions had caught for it, and he raised his legs and spread his wings to follow the direction of his telepathy and flew in the direction of Ling Li. These minions were so frightened that they almost fainted to death, and they regretted that they shouldn't believe that the eagle was docile on the surface, and when they opened the cage door, the beast was a beast after all, so they hurried to Master Liang to ask for guilt. Master Liang was also shocked when he heard this, but then pinched his fingers and said to a few: "It's okay if this living treasure runs away, it's better for us to have more than one thing, if it is really in our general rudder, it will inevitably cause trouble, and we don't know why, we can't parry." A few people were shocked, and I don't blame it, this eagle must have followed Ling Li and gone with the Great Demon King! You should go back and listen to the arrangement of the sword ghost!" These minions who watched the eagle really didn't expect that they had derelicted their duties and got such a result, so they went happily. So the big eagle flew, and after a few clicks, it flew to Ling Li's side, and then he settled down and flew obediently again.
The Demon King saw that the big eagle flew away obediently, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "That's fine, if this thing stays in the helm, Master Liang, these laymen, may not be able to stop it! Everyone straighten out their clothes, and we will go on the road!"
Walking in the middle of the market, after all, it is different from your own territory. The Great Demon King repeatedly advised: You must hurry as soon as possible, and the rest are in order, except for staying under a pseudonym at night, do not socialize with people. Therefore, even if the group walks in the middle of the city, it does not attract anyone's attention. These people traveled during the day, stayed in the hotel at night, and walked for two or three days, but it was easy. Ling Li used to practice medicine in the clouds, and these scenes had long been accustomed to it, but she felt that it was better to walk in the dense forest, and the scenery was strange.
At noon that day, the group was walking as usual on horseback, when they suddenly heard a noise a few hundred meters away. When a few people heard the sound, they saw that a few hundred meters away from each other, it seemed that a few local little bullies had robbed a couple of old husbands and wives of their money, and the little bullies in these places knocked the two old men to the ground. I could vaguely hear the old man shouting: "This is all the property that I have sold my ancestral house! Give it back to us, uncles!" At this time, the old man rushed out of the crowd of onlookers, a young man dressed in gray clothes and carrying a bag, and saw him from a distance brushing the ground and pulling out a long sword, brushing handsome, the sword shadow reflected the sun, and the hand qi sword fell, so he put the hands of the little bullies in these places, and the technique was very elegant and natural in the eyes of the demon king, and then took the money bag and returned it to the old man.
Seeing this, the flying knife man slapped his thigh violently, and reached out with his other hand to take his own flying knife hidden weapon, wanting to help those little bullies in those places. Seeing this, the Great Demon King hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother Dao, are you a silk merchant? The merchant can't afford to make a profit, so he just rushes for profit, is there any nosy?" and then pressed the hand of the flying knife man back, but fortunately he was not seen by the people on the side of the road.
I only heard the flying knife man vaguely uncertain: "Why do I feel as if I have seen this sword?" Demon King Thief: "You must be so far away, you must be in a bad sight! Let's not cause trouble on the road, delay big things, let's still hurry!"
Those foreigners were even more enthusiastic about the treasure hunt, and continued: "The demon king has always told us so, it is still important to do business!"
Saying that, the demon king immediately ordered, and the group waited quickly and hurried, galloping, and disappeared on this road in an instant, and they were already a hundred miles away!
