Chapter 497: Swords and Crows

Zhao Dashi walked in a bare snow forest, in which it was impossible to see anyone, and the only ubiquitous cold air was burrowing into his body along his sleeve.

At this time, his only thought was to find a wine shop to drink a bowl of warm rice wine, let the heat spread from his abdomen to his whole body, and when he remembered that the warm and mellow rice wine seemed to be in front of him, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, leaving a deep footprint on the snow.

Zhao Dashi didn't want to avenge Zhao Song, he hated this illegitimate son's arrogance, hated everything in the Golden Dragon Water Division, becoming a Golden Dragon Water Master was his last resort and did not help his future much, his dream was to be able to start a family in Guhe City and marry a daughter-in-law who was capable of giving birth to a boy, and his earlier dream was also to be a chivalrous man who fought with a sword, but the money in his pocket couldn't even afford an ordinary iron sword.

Fate destroyed all his dreams, he could do nothing but drink, his superiors suppressed him, his peers despised him as an incompetent man, and he could do nothing but drink.

How many times can a person turn over in his life, and this opportunity is enough for him to change from a sailor who dies to become a nobleman in Sunset City, and can even be reused by Emperor Qing.

The liquor he bought on the road had long since been drunk, and now there was no liquor to drive away the cold in his body, and if he didn't find a warm inn soon, he might freeze to death in the snow.

Zhao Dashi felt that his eyes were bulging, and there seemed to be a swarm of wild bees buzzing in his head, and the strength and heat slowly flowed from his body.

The only thing he could do now was to speed up his pace and leave the damn snowy forest, and sit in the warm inn and drink a large jar of wine while cursing the nameless boy who was like a white-haired demon.

The more he thought about the origin of the white-haired boy, the more anxious he became, and his head seemed to hurt more and more, especially the demonic purple eyes, which lingered in his heart like a ghost, and the purple eyes ...... Purple eyes, what kind of person has purple eyes?

He suddenly remembered that when he was drinking with his colleagues, he heard them say that the dragoons led by Long Wumastiff were completely wiped out by the iron cavalry of the Yin Kingdom at the Concubine Pass, and the person who led the army on the Yin State side was the prince of the Yin Kingdom, and it is said that his eyes were also purple.

Vaguely, he wondered if there was any connection between the two...... But his head was so painful that he couldn't even walk steadily, and he slapped his cheek hard, and his head twitched, like the sound of witnessing the dragon ship break that day, and the next moment he fell off the deck.

When he went to Luoyang City, he was going to go to the emperor to sue the emperor, and he tried his best to testify to the cold-blooded cruelty of Miss Shen and that it was her people who completely destroyed the Golden Dragon Water Division of Guhe City and His Majesty's army of the Emperor.

In this way, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not let go of the Shen family, and Gu Nan and King Langya will thank him for his loyalty and justice, and give him a generous report.

To do it all

In other words, he must arrive in Sunset City before the beginning of winter, otherwise he will die here.

The surroundings were getting colder and colder, and the trees were covered with frost, like jewels on a noblewoman's headdress, and they looked extremely beautiful, but in the blink of an eye, he passed through the trees, destroying this beauty.

- Dumb - dumb - poof!

Suddenly, he heard the sound of crows, and flocks of crows swept over his head, knocking the frost off the leaves, disturbing the otherwise peaceful mountain forest, and the crows let out a hoarse cry and flew away.

Crow...... That was a bad sign, he thought.

With this in mind, he finally walked out of the mountains and forests, and came to a humble inn with smoke, and the gray wine flag was blown straight by the cold wind, like the flapping wings of a crow.

Zhao Dashi hurriedly quickened his pace and walked in, at this time, it should have been the right time for rice wine to sell around the beginning of winter, but for some reason the business in this inn was sluggish, and even no one could see it.

There was a bewitching woman standing behind the counter, which was the most beautiful woman Zhao Dashi had ever seen in his life, with her waist twisting and her style exposed, and Zhao Dashi's tongue was dry for a while.

Four or five crows perched on the windowsill, looking at themselves with wide, round eyes, but instead of making that irritating crow, a caged parrot kept calling and talking, and all saying the same thing.

"- kill - kill - kill - wow wow wow - help, help. ”

These words startled him, and the bewitching woman slowly walked out from behind the counter, and put her slender fingers into the birdcage, and the yellow-haired beast suddenly shrank in the corner of the cage without saying a word, as if the woman's fingers were sharp daggers

When the parrot finally didn't dare to be presumptuous, the woman turned her head to see this dusty traveler, gently moved the lotus cloth over, affectionately held his arm and beckoned him to sit down, the chest was heavy, but Zhao Dashi's saliva was about to flow down, and the charming and seductive gaze was falling on herself, the woman smiled coquettishly: "Childe, you must be tired after walking so far, wait for the concubine to prepare a pot of good wine for you to drink, quench your thirst and warm your stomach." ”

Son?

Zhao Dashi was called so for the first time in his life, it was called a heart blooming, and he put on a bold look and slapped the only two taels of silver in his pocket in front of the counter, pretending to be heroic: "Bother the little lady to give me two pots of hot rice wine, and then cut two catties of beef and a plate of peanuts. ”

The enchanting woman showed a coquettish expression that could only be understood: "No problem, the son can sleep here for as long as he wants, if you feel that the bed is not warm at night, just order the concubine to immediately send the quilt to your room to warm your bed." ”

Zhao Dashi no longer pretended to be a good person at this time, he hit it off like an adulterer meeting an adulteress, and reached out to grab her milky wrist.

Laughed and said, "The little lady is here alone?"

The woman said with a delicate face: "It's not a word, my man died early, leaving me a widow and this inn in the broken ravine, and I don't know when it will be difficult to get out." ”

"Little lady, this orphan and widow are pitiful, and women still have to find a reliable man to take care of them. He pinched the wrist of the bewitching woman, the woman was full of charming smiles, and the two kept saying ** words between the two, Zhao Dashi was okay now, let him meet a lonely widow who was lonely in a lonely home, and he couldn't wait to drink three catties of wine and meat before he went into battle.

In the face of Zhao Dashi's constant courtesy and stroke, the woman still had that bright smile, helped him sit on the bench, squinted and said, "Childe came to my inn to settle down, I don't know where to go?"

After Zhao Dashi drank a large glass of wine, he smiled and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm going to go to Luoyang to sue the emperor this time!"

"Sue the royal court, what is going on in the son's family?"

"No, no, no, I am Zhao Dashi, the deputy commander of the Golden Dragon Water Division of Guhe City, the Shen family and the Gu family have heard of it, right? This young lady of the Shen family, Shen Huayu, offended my young master Zhao Song, Zhao Song is the illegitimate son of the king of Langya in Daqing, and there is the Gu family behind him. How ruthless this girl is to kill my young master, and want to kill all our Golden Dragon Water Division, I killed it with a strong force, this time I went to Luoyang to sue His Majesty the Emperor, so that he could avenge my young master. ”

She pretended to be suspicious and said, "Oh, how can a little girl have such a great ability to kill a soldier of the sailor, isn't the son too tired and a little delirious?"

Zhao Dashi desperately boasted: "You don't know this, Miss Shen has a white-haired young man next to her who is so strong that he doesn't look like a mortal, have you ever seen someone who can use sword qi to cut off the building boat? That kid can! That scene didn't scare me at that time, but I slashed that kid several times, and I tried my best to escape!"

"Slash the ship with sword qi, is there such a powerful person?"

"It's really right to say that you women have long hair and short knowledge, there are no strange dynasties in this world, there are many strong people from all sides, what's the big deal about using sword qi to cut down the ship, but the kid's appearance is also evil, his hair is as white as snow, and his eyes are actually purple, have you ever seen someone with purple eyes?"

The charming woman still has the smiling face that fascinates the man and does not pay for her life, "Purple-eyed people, Childe is really well-informed...... I heard Gongzi just say that he slashed him a few times, I don't know how many slashes?"

Zhao Dashi, who had drunk rice wine and was full of energy, stretched out five fingers and said: "Just five knives! If I am stabbed again, maybe this kid has already been killed by me!"

There was a hint of surprise in the woman's eyes, and soon this surprise turned into a sudden realization

Lowered and the corners of the mouth are pressed down.

Zhao Dashi wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, leaned over and tried to hug her waist, and said with a smile: "Little lady, it's better to sell this broken inn and go to Luoyang with me to live a good life, as long as I go to the emperor to tell him the truth of this matter, the reward given by the emperor is enough for you and me to eat and drink spicy food for a lifetime." ”

He suddenly hugged the air, and the woman stood up to face him, only a cold murderous aura remained in her tender eyes, and the corners of her mouth were raised and almost touched her earlobe.

Zhao Dashi was frightened by the woman's smile, and she said word by word: "Childe, I have a few questions I want to ask you next, can you tell me honestly?"

"Just ask, if only I knew...... will tell you the truth with the little lady. ”

Zhao Dashi frowned and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and under the pressure of the woman's gaze, his heart fluttered and jumped.

"What color is the sword qi used by that purple-eyed young man?"

"Red ...... As he drew his sword, I faintly heard the sound of a dragon groaning. ”

"Miss Shen Family...... What is Miss Shen's name?"

"Shen Huayu, she is the daughter of Shen Sanqian, the governor of Guhe City. ”

"Do you know where they're going?"

"I heard Young Master Zhao Song say that Shen Huayu came to Guhe City from Luoyang City to visit the Grand Governor, if I guessed correctly, she should go back to Luoyang City this time...... What are you asking all this stuff for?"

"I'm not the hostess of this inn, and I don't have a dead husband, we just want to simply find His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and then bring him back to Yinguo for trial. ”

"His Royal Highness...... Yinguo ...... Who the hell are you?"

Zhao Dashi subconsciously wanted to touch the dagger on his waist to defend himself, but he was surprised to find that the dagger was missing!

"Where the hell did they go?" suddenly a rude voice appeared behind him.

He felt the feeling of the cold wind pouring into the inn, only to feel that his mouth was dry, and the bewitching woman in front of him was playing with the dagger in his hand, which was the dagger he put on his waist, but it appeared in her hand at this time.

Zhao Dashi looked at the beauty in front of her dumbfounded, and she unhurriedly took out a crow's beak mask from behind her and stayed on her face, covering the face that made him excited.

The eye sockets of the crow's beak mask are as dark as night, and the woman's figure is bewitching and beautiful. A strange and terrifying feeling suddenly permeated the entire inn, making his legs tremble and unable to take a step.

"If Childe is sleepy, hold on a little longer, and after my companion and I leave, you can sleep in this inn for a long time. ”

Startled, he cautiously turned back to find himself surrounded by a crowd.

Some of the people who surrounded him wore black robes, some wore leather clothes, and some even wore coarse cloth clothes

Some of them were still wearing armor, and there were blood stains on the edges of the armor.

Zhao Dashi didn't know how many people surrounded him, let alone twenty people, maybe more, no matter how they were dressed, their faces were all wearing crow's beak masks, like the black impermanence of harvesting life, surrounding him, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

"-Kill-kill-kill, whoa-whoa-wow-help-"

The parrot called again, the enchanting woman tilted her head slightly at the parrot in the cage, and the four or five crows standing on the windowsill immediately spread their wings to kill the parrot in the cage, and in a burst of ear-splitting crows, the parrot locked in the wooden cage quickly turned into flesh and blood in the crow's mouth, and only a bunch of colored feathers stained with blood were left in the broken cage, and the scene in front of him made Zhao Dashi's heart slowly cool down.

Soon the crowd moved out of the way, and a woman wrapped in a dark hooded cloak stepped forward, her face was not masked, her expression was cold, her eyebrows and eyes were like swords, and her whole face was cold without a trace of warmth.

Her figure is taller than Zhao Dashi, and it is rare to see such a tall woman in Nanlu, a circle of red rope wrapped around her wrist, and the woman's red lips said lightly: "Where did he go?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"That white-haired and purple-eyed boy, where did he go?"

"-Luoyang, I guess he followed Miss Shen to Luoyang, what do you want?" Zhao Dashi called out in horror.

"Sunset...... If it is true, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he dares to go to the dragon's den alone, which is worthy of being the dragon slayer of Concubine Pass. ”

The corners of the cloak woman's mouth curled slightly, and as soon as she finished saying this, a burly man with a crow's beak mask stepped forward, and Zhao Dashi watched him press himself to the ground fiercely, only to feel that the sky was spinning in his head.

"What the hell do you want, that's all I know—" Zhao Dashi, a big man, cried at this time, like a child who had been forced into a corner.

"I heard you say just now, you want to go to Sunset City to sue the royal court and get a reward, right?"

The bewitching woman squatted down with a smile and pressed her hand on the door of his head, which was still a soft and warm palm, but Zhao Dashi felt as cold as ice at this time.

"It's a pity, everyone here wants his head, but I can't let you go to the setting sun to expose all this, the situation is difficult now, there are wars everywhere, no one's wish must be fulfilled, but don't be afraid, we will let you fall asleep without pain, which is considered to be a reward for you for providing us with important clues. ”

The more the woman said that she was afraid, the more afraid Zhao Dashi became, and her head began to be chaotic, as if tears had flowed out of her eyes, and if she continued like this, he would bleed.

Zhao Dashi wailed, "I know something else! Don't kill me, I'll do it to you."

Very useful!"

"What else do you know?"

"In addition to Miss Shen, there is also a court official accompanying the white-haired young man, I know the name of that person, as long as you spare my life, I will tell you his name. ”

"Imperial court officials, are they officials of the Daqing imperial court?"

The cloaked woman stepped on his head with her legs raised, the heel of the hidden blade piercing his cheek, and the warm blood flowed into his eyes, mixed with tears that turned into bloody tears.

"yes, they're in a group, I know who that person is, and if we work together, we can get them out together-"

The cloaked woman increased her force slightly, and the dark blade pierced into his eyes, and in Zhao Dashi's wail, an eyeball with flesh and blood rolled to the ground.

"We don't make deals with goods like you, don't say you're innocent, they're innocent too. ”

The bewitching woman kicked over the counter, the original owner of this inn was lying on the ground at this time, the blood had already condensed on the floor, and the corpses of the shopkeeper and the two cooks were piled up in the corner by them, and the empty eyes seemed to tell Zhao Dashi, we have been waiting for you for a long time.

Only now did he understand why, as soon as he walked in, the colorful parrot kept screaming murderously.

It turned out that before he arrived at the inn, the people in the inn were already dead, and they followed him all the way to wait for him to fall into this trap.

"Who the hell are you, who is he?" Zhao Dashi hissed.

"Heh, this guy is still desperately asking questions until he dies. Laughter came from under a mask.

The woman in the cloak said, "We are from the country of Yin, can you die satisfied?"

At this moment, Zhao Dashi's head seemed to be rampage with thousands of galloping horses, and he felt sour juice in his throat, "You can't do this...... This is the Daqing Dynasty, you can't just kill people here. ”

"We have swords and crows in our hands. Someone said, "That's why we can do this." ”
