Chapter 50: The Shadow of the Cup, the Bow and the Snake
Jizhou, Tongfu Inn.
It's Tongfu Inn again, is this world an inn called Tongfu Inn?
Situ Cheng sat at the table, her expression was blank, and her eyes were dull. Xiao Kahan sat opposite her, also silent.
It's late at night.
"Why don't you go back to your room and sleep?" Situ Cheng was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, and she asked Xiao Jiahan.
"I'm worried about you!" He said bluntly.
"The people who followed me are dead, what are you worried about?" Situ smiled bitterly.
"When was the first time you killed someone?" Situ asked again.
"I don't remember, it was probably when I was very young. Uncle Yan locked me up with some bad guys, either I died or they died. Xiao Jiahan said confusedly.
"How do you know those are the bad guys?" Situ asked again.
"Because they all have that sign on their chests, they're tantric people. I don't know why the Tantric people want to hunt down our Xiao family, they don't stop killing my grandmother and my younger brother. Xiao Kahan replied.
"So you're worried that I'm also the target of the Tantric sect?" Situ asked.
"I'm confused about what happened to you, they didn't kill you directly, and they didn't even dare to alarm you. They just want to hand you over to the people above who they say they say. Xiao Jiahan looked puzzled.
"Since the tragedy in my family, Uncle Yan has been investigating the truth of the matter for the past ten years. The Tantric Sect was caught by him, but he didn't get any useful information. Xiao Jiahan said again.
"So you're trying to use me as bait?" Situ Mian said coldly.
"I didn't think so, we can figure out the truth together." Xiao Jiahan hurriedly explained.
Situ Cheng bowed her head and was silent, as if she was thinking.
"With me by your side, at least your life will be guaranteed." Xiao Kahan continued.
"How do I know if you have ulterior motives, I am a tantric person, you can even use me in exchange for the information you want." Situ asked vigilantly.
Xiao Jiahan opened his mouth, but did not say a word. He is definitely not that kind of person, but there is no guarantee that Uncle Yan is not that kind of person. He understands his master's personality to some extent.
Uncle Yan has taught him martial arts since he began to teach him martial arts, that he must not be soft-hearted, not too emotional, and not indecisive.
He locked him up with jackals, with tigers and leopards, and later with those vicious-looking tantric sects. He told him that if he didn't want to die, he had to kill the beasts or people who wanted him to die.
From the initial crying and begging to the blood of his opponents, he even hated his master, why did he train him so cold-bloodedly. He remembered what Uncle Yan said to him:
"If you don't want to learn, you can go back to your parents, they don't agree with you learning martial arts anyway."
Uncle Yan's eyes were full of contempt.
Xiao Jiahan told him that he couldn't give up lightly, and he wanted to avenge his grandmother and Le'er!
He knows how much blood and sweat it takes to learn a wonderful kung fu. He couldn't imagine what Situ Cheng had paid?
"Do you know swordsmanship?" He finally couldn't help but ask.
"What?" Situ Cheng looked at him strangely.
If she knew swordsmanship, how could she be captured by those three ruffians, and the guide Cuilian died tragically.
"Tonight you shoot neatly and stabbed where you want to stab, which is not something that an ordinary person can do. An ordinary person can't even hold my sword steadily. Xiao Jiahan said.
"Really?" Situ asked casually.
It was only now that she remembered what had made her so confused.
That is, tonight she saw a strange woman in her mind.
A woman in white with long hair and waist-length and barefoot.
The woman was tall and apparently an adult woman. She didn't have any ornaments on her, except for her black hair and white clothes.
Situ Cheng had never seen such a woman in his previous life or in this life, and for some reason she appeared in his mind out of thin air.
"Maybe I've learned swordsmanship before, but I don't remember it." She said to Xiao Jiahan.
Perhaps the woman she possessed had learned these things before, and how could she, an alien soul, know the past life of the body owner.
Xiao Jiahan saw that Situ Cheng had returned to normal, so he pushed the door and left to go to his room to rest. And this inn is opened by a friend of Uncle Yan, so there is no need to worry about more problems.
Situ Cheng didn't dare to fall asleep, in her previous life, she was killed in a house called Tongfu Inn, and today this one is also called Tongfu Inn, so it is inevitable that she has some worries in her heart.
A slight sound suddenly came from the courtyard in the dead of night, and Situ Ming, who was a little sleepy, immediately became energetic. She suddenly felt that she should get out of here, she was really afraid of those who appeared to be good people, but in fact they were different people.
Ning Rui, who killed her in her previous life, a man surnamed Zhao who had just died. I think they were so enthusiastic about helping themselves at the beginning.
And what about Xiao Jiahan, who saved her several times?
She really couldn't tell what he meant for her.
After Situ Cheng heard the movement, she quietly hid by the window in the room and looked out.
In the middle of the night, there was no more silence, only a wild cat wandered around the yard. The sound was probably a wildcat jumping off a wall and hitting something.
Situ waited for a long time, but didn't find anything. She quietly walked out of the room door, wanting to leave the inn, but the door was closed tightly.
If she made a little noise, she would definitely alarm Xiao Jiahan and them, so how could she go.
Situ Cheng was worried about herself, and suddenly saw a black shadow in the corner of the courtyard, and the shadow looked like a person.
She stared at the dark shadow for a long time, but there was no movement, so she slowly walked over to take a closer look. This look made her heart rise to her throat, it turned out to be a real person.
"This sister, please, don't make a sound!" The woman said.
"I heard that your accent is from Jiangzhou, how did you come here?" Situ Cheng took her into the room and asked in Jiangzhou dialect.
"This sister is also from Jiangzhou?" The woman looked as big as Situ Ming, and when she heard Situ Cheng also speak Jiangzhou dialect, she asked.
Situ Cheng was from Jiangzhou in her previous life, but she didn't answer the woman's words, but just asked her again:
"Why are you hiding in that yard?"
"I was originally the daughter of a merchant in Jiangzhou Prefecture, and my father lost money in business, so he sold me." The woman bowed her head.
"How did you escape to Jizhou?" Jiangzhou is thousands of miles away from Jizhou.
"I didn't flee, I was escorted to Kyoto and said that I wanted to be a maid for a big family, and I passed by here. There were more than 20 Jiangzhou women who were about the same age as me, and the middle-aged woman from Kyoto was in charge, and we all called her Honggu. On top of that, there are some guarded guards to prevent any of us from escaping. The woman replied carefully.
It turned out that some famous nobles in Kyoto had some servants at home for entertainment. There is even more comparison, I heard that Jiangzhou women are gentle and weak, and the water is beautiful and beautiful, so I deliberately went down to the south to buy some and raised them in the house. It's just that when I bought it, I said that I was looking for some clever girls to call the young ladies in the famous family, and deceived those poor parents who didn't know about it to sell their daughters.
