Chapter 167: Murder
At noon, the wind is gentle and smooth, the smoke and dust are flying on the official road, and the horses are galloping.
"Alas, the Black Heaven Divine Palace led the crowd to invade, and I don't know if my father can resist it? ”
Looking at the dried and dusky grass and flowers and leaves on both sides of the official road, a handsome young man raised his eyebrows and sighed for a long time.
This handsome young man is the young master of the Shaking Light family, three days ago, the Black Sky Divine Palace led the crowd to attack the Shaking Light family, his father led the clan to fight against it, in order to be perfect, and at the same time entrusted the family for generations to protect the Shaking Light Star Key to him, escorted by six loyal generals, secretly descended the mountain through the secret passage, and went to the Hero Mountain Villa to seek protection, so as not to cut off the bloodline of the Shaking Light Family and the star key to fall into the hands of treacherous evil.
"The head of the family, Jiren, has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine, so the young master doesn't need to worry too much. Zhuo Zhengying, the head of the six generals, said with relief.
The young master of Shaoguang was slightly less worried, but his tone was still heavy: "I hope so...... For today's plan, you need to rush to the Hero Villa first, inform the Nantian Hero of this matter, and then make a decision. ”
"It's still a thousand miles away from Heroes' Mountain, and if nothing else, you can get there in a day or two. Zhuo Zhengying estimated the approximate distance and said in a deep voice.
The young master of the shaking light gently bowed his head, his eyes in the distance suddenly lit up, he raised his hand and pointed straight ahead, and said in high spirits:
"Everyone, please see, there is a wine shed in front, let's stop to eat something first, and by the way, replenish the dry food and clean water, and then it's not too late to set off!"
When everyone heard this, they stared at it, and really saw a dilapidated bamboo shed on the side of the road in the distance, and a white cloth was hung outside the bamboo shed, on which the word wine was written crookedly.
Regarding the proposal of the young master of Shaoguang, the six family generals have no reason to disagree, in fact, his dry food and water are indeed insufficient.
After a while, the group came to the wine shed, turned over and dismounted, tied the horses to a nearby tree, and went straight inside.
When the curtain was lifted to protect the wind and dust, eight or nine dilapidated wooden tables and a few benches were revealed.
At this moment, there are two tables of guests sitting in the wine shed, a middle-aged couple and four woodcutters, the woodcutters have freshly chopped firewood placed next to them, holding hot tea in their hands, or twisting fennel beans on the plate, chatting casually, and from time to time there is a hearty laughter, and the middle-aged couple seems to have returned from a family visit, talking about some trivial matters of relatives' families.
Seeing the customer come to the door, a little girl with freckles on her face, but her appearance was quite handsome, hurriedly ran over, wiped the table and bench with a rag for the young master and his party, and asked with a smile.
"What do you want, a few guest officers?"
The young master sat down on the bench and asked in a harmonious voice, "Then tell me what you have in your shop, and then we will decide something." ”
The little girl wrenched her fingers and counted with a serious expression: "We have tea, wine, sauce beef, fennel beans, braised tofu ...... here."
The young master didn't expect any good goods in this wilderness store, so he picked two things at random: "Then trouble the girl, you can serve two pots of hot tea, six plates of fennel beans, and ten catties of sauce beef." ”
"Okay Rat, guest officer, please wait a moment. ”
The little girl answered sweetly, jumped up and down, and went away happily.
Zhuo Zhengying and the other five generals also sat down, his fingertips tapped lightly on the table, and quietly looked at the people in the wine shed, this is a habit he has developed over the years, every time he goes to a place, he always habitually surveys everything around him first, besides, there are many minions of the Black Sky Divine Palace, all over the rivers and lakes, and he shoulders the responsibility of protecting the young master and the star key, so he can't be careless.
Paying close attention to the surroundings, Zhuo Zhengying really found something strange.
The middle-aged couple has not seen anything abnormal for the time being, but the four woodcutters who are only separated from them by an empty table have attracted the attention of Zhuo Zhengying, these four people have less of the sense of labor and hardship of the people at the bottom of the society, the hand holding the teacup, there is no rough chapping from the perennial scorching sun, the knuckles are well-proportioned, and some parts of the inner palm have thick calluses, Zhuo Zhengying According to his years of experience in martial arts, it is enough to judge that this should be a pair of hands that practice knives all year round.
Sword moves, sword moves, sword paths, each weapon has different moves, and there will be subtle differences in the traces left on the hands.
This unexpected discovery suddenly made Zhuo Zhengying secretly vigilant in his heart.
At this moment, six more people came into the wine shed, there were men and women, monks and laymen, there were gorgeous and exquisite costumes, and there were also strange and simple clothes.
Zhuo Zhengying's attention fell on the six newcomers from the four woodcutters, silently paying attention to the observation, and after a while, the little girl had already brought back the teapot and chopsticks, put them on the table, turned around and brought the remaining six plates of fennel beans and ten catties of sauce beef, and said with a sweet smile:
"Guest, you've got all the dishes. ”
"Okay, you go about your business, you don't have to take care of us. The young master nodded slightly.
Several people rushed for three days in a row, the dry food had been exhausted, and they were already hungry, smelling the aroma of tea and meat, they couldn't help but move their index fingers, picked up the chopsticks and were about to eat, but saw Zhuo Zhengying raise his hand to stop him: "Wait, Zhang Zhu, our horses have been running for most of the day, and the water has not been stained, you pour two bowls of tea to feed them, don't run and run when you are in a hurry." ”
The general named Zhang Zhu was stunned for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, he understood that Zhuo Zhengying was worried about the problem of tea and food, and wanted to take the horse to inspect the goods.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Zhang Zhu answered, took two bowls of tea, and went straight out of the curtain.
Noticing the inquiring gaze of his companions, Zhuo Zhengying made a few vague gestures, signaling a few people not to drink tea for the time being, and wait until Zhang Zhu came back, while remaining vigilant and always ready for battle.
"This man's alertness is good!"
Not far away, Princess Suzaku noticed the situation here out of the corner of her eye, and secretly praised it in her heart.
It has been almost a day since the six of them reincarnated into this world, and they have a general understanding of the pattern and history of the world, and they have determined that this is not their original world, which undoubtedly proves the authenticity of the reincarnation space.
Of course, they can't just come to the door and threaten that we are the people sent by God to protect you, and by the way, they slaughtered the guy who came to seize the key to the Shaking Light for you.
After a period of discussion and discussion, it was agreed that it was necessary to contact the young master and his party at the right time.
As the so-called came early, it was better to come by chance, they found the young master of Shaoguang and his party, and after secretly observing and tracking for less than half an hour, the other party and his party had entered this wilderness store, which was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to contact the mission target, and they no longer hesitated at the moment, and hurriedly followed.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that the six of them arrived in time, otherwise the main quest might have failed.
Studying under the master of the Heavenly People, the master of Jiuyang, coupled with the martial arts classics treasured in the palace arsenal, the secret skills of the miraculous skills are full of sweat, and the number of secret methods that Princess Suzaku is proficient in is actually quite a lot.
Of course, with her current attainments, she can't spy on the qi of heaven and earth, and can only look at the qi of people.
After entering the wine shed, Princess Suzaku used the method of looking at qi and wanted to spy on the qi of the young master of Shaoguang and his party, but accidentally discovered that the other people here were not vulgar, but secretly cultivated.
The wilderness store gathers a large number of martial arts practitioners, which is obviously very strange...... Nine times out of ten, it was the killer sent by the Black Sky Divine Palace to snatch the key to the Shaking Star!
Indeed, the proprietor of this wilderness shop had been killed and replaced half an hour earlier.
Bowing his head and fiddling with the abacus, in fact, the old man with the crane hair who always paid attention to the movement of the young master of the light, saw Zhang Zhu walking out with tea in his hand, his face changed slightly, all of these tea and food were drugged, if they noticed that the tea was different, they would definitely be more vigilant, and it would be difficult to succeed.
At that moment, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he exchanged a look with the little girl, the middle-aged couple, and the four woodcutters.
The content of the eyes is very simple, just two words: hands-on!
