Chapter 220: Evil Messenger Comes to the Door
I heard that Zhao Laohan actually said that this king of Montenegro was so godlike that he even said that he would cultivate the sun and become an immortal.
Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan listened to Yile, and then looked at Zhou Xianyu, who was also smiling, with a gentle expression, but said mockingly:
"Even if it's really a spirit who has cultivated for thousands of years, and has obtained Taoism, what about it, so harming one party, and still delusional about ascending to immortality, not to mention that I, Xiao Jinxuan, although I believe in the gods and Buddhas, but I don't believe in this demon and evil spirit, after all, where there is a counter, there is a good, there must be a demon, if there is really such a spirit that harms people indiscriminately, God would have already sent down the thunder to kill it, how can I tolerate this king of Montenegro, so arrogant."
When Zhao Laohan heard this, he only thought that Xiao Jinxuan didn't believe his words, and immediately had the heart to refute it, but he felt that it was too rude to collide with his benefactor.
Therefore, he didn't argue with Xiao Jinxuan about anything, but just asked Zhou Xianyu and the others to sit first, and he himself went to the small stove in the thatched hut to see how the meal was prepared.
As soon as Zhao Laohan left, Zhou Xianyu came over, looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a smile, and then raised his eyebrows evilly.
"Xuan'er, if you are suitable, but there is something in the words, it seems that you don't believe that there are any spirits and monsters, and you suspect that someone is pretending to be a ghost, so it is not right."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan immediately smiled, then raised her voice lightly, and asked instead of answering:
"Then what about our dignified war king Chitose, according to what you mean, do you really believe it, this goblin can't say anything."
Xiao Jinxuan herself was reborn and returned, and not long ago she was behind the City God Temple, and personally experienced the miracle of spiritual spring healing, in fact, she really believed that in this underworld, there are heavenly gods and Buddhas.
But if this king of Montenegro is what kind of yellow skin, fox, python has become a fine, when he says this, Xiao Jinxuan may really be able to believe it, after all, she has also heard the rumors about animals becoming refined immortals.
But right now, this spirit is not only not a horse insect, but also a highly capable one, too many hands and eyes to the sky.
Now that the sea is leveling on Thursday, I haven't seen the demons and sneaky, and the road is raging, this king of Montenegro has such a big ability, it stands to reason that he shouldn't have only entrenched in Montenegro, and this thing also knows how to kill people and kill people, and does not reveal his whereabouts.
This is even more suspicious in Xiao Jinxuan's opinion, but it is more like a man-made trick, deliberately terrifying atmosphere, although I don't understand why I kidnapped young and strong men, but there must be something behind this, and the ulterior reason is in it.
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan asking herself, Zhou Xianyu leaned back lazily, and then said slowly:
"It's strange that the master will believe this nonsense, I thought Xuan'er would be scared after hearing it, but I didn't expect you to be so calm and relaxed, it seems that it is not easy to see you lose your temper once."
Zhou Xianyu pretended to be disappointed and shook his head, then suddenly laughed twice, then lowered his voice, and continued with a little more seriousness:
"But Xuan'er, the king of Montenegro in this Zhuluo Town, I'm afraid it's really not small, because after listening to the old man Zhao, after the description of this thing, how do I listen to it, how do I think that this spirit that looks like a horse and an insect is several meters long, it is more like a dragon and snake formation laid by soldiers in the marching formation, if it is against the backdrop of the moonlight at night, once this array is deployed, it will be the same as the king of Montenegro."
Regarding the formation, although Xiao Jinxuan has also seen the introduction in the book, it is all extremely superficial things, and there is no comparison with what Zhou Xianyu, a military wizard, has mastered.
Therefore, as soon as I heard that there was a formation, it could be as vivid as a living thing, making it difficult for people to distinguish the authenticity, Xiao Jinxuan didn't believe Zhou Xianyu's words, but she still asked suspiciously, how did this formation do it, so mysterious.
Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan's interest was aroused again, Zhou Xianyu was naturally not too troublesome, and hurriedly explained:
"Xuan'er, the old man Zhao said that the king of Montenegro not only made the sound of the neighing of the horses, but also the sound of metal between the actions, in fact, in my opinion, this is more like a group of soldiers riding war horses and wearing heavy armor, and then put out a small dragon and snake formation in a line, which will form a unique effect."
Then I saw Zhou Xianyu stretch out his hand, dip his index finger in some water from the simple cup in front of him, and draw on the wooden table, while continuing:
"This formation, Xuan'er, don't underestimate it, it not only combines Qimen Dunjia, but also communicates with the five elements of Zhou Yi, a clever formation, those who enter the formation can even hallucinate, and those who are trapped in it are alive and dead, and the word long snake formation, although it is an extremely ordinary formation, but if the soldiers in the formation, protect each other and cooperate tacitly, and put shields and other objects on top of their heads, completely hide their bodies underneath, that in the dim and difficult to distinguish night, they are mistaken for spirits and demons, which is quite possible."
This is Zhou Xianyu, an outlier with extremely high military talent, who came to this Zhuluo Town, otherwise if he changed others, I am afraid that in this life, he will not be able to go to a spirit in the mouth of the people and a formation.
Seeing that what Zhou Xianyu said was reasonable and well-founded, and he was extremely confident, Xiao Jinxuan immediately had to sigh at the profundity of the formation, and at the same time said with a condensed expression:
"Originally, I only thought that bandits were rampant here, and the matter of the King of Black Mountain was made by these reckless people, but now it seems that according to your analysis, this mountain bandit has no ability, understands the art of war, and lays out this kind of tacit formation, then the troublemaker behind this must be from a lot of background, and he can also mobilize army soldiers, it seems that the strange thing in Zhuluo Town is getting more and more complicated."
Zhou Xianyu's expression is not very good-looking, because what Xiao Jinxuan said is right, to be so neat and uniform, and to put out the dragon and snake formation, it must take no less than three years of training, and these people also have horses and heavy armor, which shows that it must be the regular army of the Great Zhou who pretends to be the king of Montenegro and harms the people, and this makes him feel very uncomfortable.
After all, serving as a soldier in the army, in order to guard the frontier and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, now that it is good, the soldiers of this Great Zhou Dynasty do not go to fight against foreign enemies, but hide in this remote place, pretending to be ghosts, and disturbing the people are not at peace, which in Zhou Xianyu's view, is simply a crime that deserves death.
If it was said that Zhou Xianyu originally heard that Zhuluo Town was making a big fuss, and still had the mentality of eliminating harm casually, then when he learned that this spirit was actually the regular army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, pretending to be it, he would have made up his mind, and this matter must be managed to the end.
Not only did he have to get rid of these and the scum in the army, but he also had to find out the people behind the scenes, and deal with them strictly, and the province would embarrass the army of the Great Zhou.
Just when Zhou Xianyu was holding back his anger and was discussing countermeasures carefully with Xiao Jinxuan, Zhao Laohan led Daniel and came in with food.
Inevitably, their identities were exposed, causing unnecessary trouble, and immediately Zhou Xianyu and the two stopped talking.
And after a day's journey, although they each ate a piece of wild boar meat in the morning, they were already hungry, and even picked up the porcelain bowl with the rice, and ate with the vegetables.
But after only two bites, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but stop, frowned slightly, and then stretched out her hand and gently pushed him towards Zhou Xianyu, who was eating with his head down.
Zhou Xianyu, who was picking up a piece of bamboo rat meat and preparing to throw it into his mouth, was touched by this one, and immediately moved, and glanced at Xiao Jinxuan puzzled.
Seeing that Zhou Xianyu was so carried away from eating, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flashed helplessly, and she leaned her head against the other party, approached and whispered:
"You eat less, I didn't see Daddy Zhao and Da Nier, they all ate a nest head mixed with wild vegetables, I'm afraid that the rice in our bowl is saved from their mouths by this grandfather and granddaughter, let's eat half full, and the rest will be willing to eat."
Zhou Xianyu is a descendant of the royal family, and he has never lacked food and clothing, although he is not arrogant and extravagant, but in the end he is a little ignorant of the people's suffering, so he picked up the food and began to eat, without considering that the rice in his bowl is the family of Zhao Laohan, and there is only a small surplus grain left.
But after being reminded by Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianyu naturally immediately realized that he couldn't eat more, so he immediately poured half of the rice in the bowl back into the rice bowl, and the dish was deliberately not sandwiched, even if the meal was finished in three or two bites.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who has been hungry and understands the hard life, so when she felt a little full, she handed the untouched meal to Da Nier, and said with some embarrassment:
"I'm really sorry, I really don't have much appetite after a day's journey today, and this rice can't be wasted, why don't you eat it for me, although this is indeed a bit rude."
The countrymen are not as particular as those people, and Da Nier has been gnawing on the nest for half a month. I've almost forgotten what rice tastes like.
The only remaining white rice at home, if it weren't for Xiao Jinxuan and the two of them coming, the grandparents and granddaughters would still be reluctant to eat it, and immediately Da Nier happily picked up the rice bowl and took a bite, but stopped immediately, and then pushed the bowl in front of Zhao Laohan again.
"Grandpa, let's eat this meal, I just ate a nest, and my stomach is already full, so I won't be able to eat."
Daniel's words, the other three people present could hear that she was lying, but in this kind of lie, there was full understanding and filial piety.
Xiao Jinxuan, who listened immediately, felt that the grandfather and granddaughter were really miserable.
Zhou Xianyu, who has always remembered Xiao Jinxuan's words and deeds, saw that the other party's eyes flashed unbearably, and then saw Zhao Laohan's granddaughter and granddaughter, pushing back and forth for a bowl of rice.
Immediately, he ripped it off, and at the cuffs of his jacket, buttons made of high-quality dragon cedony topaz were used, and he was about to hand them to Zhao Laohan, asking the other party to exchange money, and when he came back after buying some rice noodles, he was so pitiful, which made Xiao Jinxuan feel uncomfortable.
Because of Zhou Xianyu, when he learned that Xiao Jinxuan was in danger, he put on soft armor and went out of the house directly, and naturally he would not carry silver taels on his body, and Xiao Jinxuan originally had a money bag, but when he was drifting in the river, he also lost it.
Therefore, this prince, a handsome daughter, can now be said to be penniless, and his situation is extremely embarrassing.
However, although there is no cash silver, Emperor Ming has always been extremely concerned about Zhou Xianyu's wear, just take the jade buckle of his sleeve that he tore off, it is worth more than a hundred taels of silver.
And just when Zhou Xianyu put the jade buckle and stretched out his hand, before he could speak, he only listened to this yellow mud room, which was not a solid wooden door, and was kicked open by someone who "banged" it from the outside.
Then five officials wearing official uniforms walked in with fierce faces, and as soon as they saw Zhao Laohan, these people immediately surrounded them.
One of the errand officers dressed in dark red immediately looked at Zhao Laohan and smiled.
looked at the half bowl of white rice that was being held in the other party's hand, and lifted his hand, and pushed the old man and grandson Zhao for a long time, and no one was willing to eat this bowl of rice, and it fell to the ground in one fell swoop.
"Old Zhao Tou, you have the money to eat white rice here, but you don't have the money to pay the official taxes, right, I see that your old bones are simply underwhelmed, the brothers greet me and greet this old immortal, if he wants to pay all the money today, let's take his granddaughter to the kiln and pay the money."
