Volume 2 Ember Chapter 49 I promise
"Good boy." The old man stroked the back of the snowy horse, untied the rope tied to the doorpost, and took the horse to chew. The snow horse meekly put his head on the old man's body and rubbed it gently. The old man couldn't help but laugh and motioned for Yongran to reach out and stroke the snow.
Yongran swallowed and gently attached his hand to Tyuki's body. Treading Snow snorted slightly in displeasure, but the old man was beside him and took care of its mane, so he didn't lose his temper.
"Old man, this horse is really human!"
"This horse was raised by me as a cub, and it will not be suspicious of me."
Yongran was stunned for a moment, "What are you talking nonsense, old man?" ”
But the old man suddenly stepped on the stirrups, straddled his legs, wrapped himself tightly around the horse, and stretched out his hand to pull up Yongran, who was on the side.
"Old man, this snow is the tiger's...... Won't we make him angry if we ride away like this? ”
"Are you scared?" The old man glanced at Yongran, "This snow treading was originally given to him by me in the past, and now what is it to ride it?" Besides, what can that kid do when he's angry? If he could kill me, would I still be able to live without being disposed of by him? It's really not like an emperor! If you continue like this, when will you be able to take your throne! The old man snorted heavily, and swayed violently, stepping on the snow to withstand the vibration of the two wheels, and with a long hiss, the four hooves were pulled by the wind and lightning.
An hour later, Mo Shi, who was still in the wine shop, handed over the wine money, drunkenly pushed the door out, and reached out to grope for something on the doorpost. But for a long time he didn't touch anything, but he touched the sawdust in his hand. He steadied himself and looked carefully at the wooden post, only to find that the rope tied to the doorpost was gone, and when he turned his head again, the snow-white horse that looked like a jade lion had disappeared.
"Walking in the snow?" He shouted in a low voice, apparently the empty ground would not respond to his words.
Mo Shi, who was not worried that the snow would be stolen, knew how fierce and wild this horse was, so he was so relieved to be tied to the door. But now that such a big white horse is missing, how can he still keep his composure.
At this moment, the strength of the wine suddenly came to him, and he leaned sideways against the doorpost, slowly squinting his eyes. As the deputy capital of the tiger, his keen perception gradually declined, and he himself often reflected, was he too relaxed during this time? Once you get rid of the work of monitoring wolves, will you suddenly relax?
Mo Shi remembered the wolf Gu pawn he had been ordered to kill earlier, and that was probably the last time he would perform Hu Si's official duties. For the next few months, he did not receive a single edict from King Wu, which was suspicious but also in line with King Wu's suspicions. Although he was already the deputy commander of the Tiger Si Division directly under the Martial King, as the disciple of that traitor, the Martial King had some concerns about him after all, and did not give him the heavy task to complete, even if he had this ability. What's more, today, the old man came to the door for no reason and told himself a nonsense, which will inevitably not be detected by some Guangcai's ears and eyes.
"Fools will only be lost and will not return." Mo Shi's low murmur was a vague whisper, like a baby seeking the nourishment of breast milk.
The gold silk box carved with a burning phoenix was slowly touched out of his waist by Mo Shi, and the cold touch on it made him come back to his senses a little, but he was a little inexplicably confused and terrifying, "What is this gold silk box for...... The old man was getting more and more unpredictable. ”
At this time, Mo Shi's eyelids suddenly slammed down, and the huge force drove his entire body to fall to the ground, and the severe pain rushed straight to the heavenly spirit cover, almost bursting his head. He woke up in a yell, but suddenly remembered something. He didn't care about the pain anymore, and jumped to his feet, his hideous face full of bruises.
Treading the snow is the horse that the old immortal gave to himself...... He is the only one who can ride this horse!
"Fuck! This old immortal thing......" Mo Shi hissed and roared, and sat on the ground with his ass out of force.
The bitter winter cold stabbed him in the face like a knife, and he finally had to turn around and go into the liquor store, thinking about what to do next and staying in the guest room, he was going to stay in the martial arts city for a while before the martial king gave the order.
The bloody remnants of the sun slowly disappeared into the sky, and the two carriages stopped one after another at the inn on the official road ahead. Yi Yu lifted the curtain of the carriage and woke up the sleeping Sikong Xi and the two.
"Come down, let's sleep in the inn tonight."
The two nodded sleepily, slowly got out of the carriage, and followed Yi Yu into the inn.
"How long will it take?" Sikong Xi yawned.
"It's already very soon, in more than ten days, we will be able to arrive in Liesun City." The ancient key also slowly sobered up.
The inn is not as shabby and dilapidated as it looks from the outside, and the variety of wines and dishes is placed in different places in a special way to maintain the freshness. In front of the counter in the center, the shopkeeper sat on the Zen chair with a big grin, and the diligent little guy next to him fanned him with a small fan. At this time, the climate has reached the coldest time of the year, but the extremely strong fire in the inn is guarded by several small servants one after another, and the comfortable temperature is not reduced in the slightest. There is no shortage of shopkeepers who let the little guy fan him because it is a little hot.
Yi Yu lifted the curtain and entered the inn, but the servants and shopkeepers in the inn did not look at them for the first time, as if they didn't see the few people who opened the curtain and entered.
"Shopkeeper, I need to stay with you for the night, let's have some food and drinks first." Yi Yu glanced at the shopkeeper lying on the meditation chair and held back his sorrow.
"Food?" The shopkeeper raised his head lazily, signaled the little guy next to him to leave, and looked back and forth on the six people, probably because several of them covered the iron armor on their bodies with a big coat, so they didn't see any clues, "Few, but do you have money to eat and drink?" Don't do anything crooked, you can't be wild here......"
"You fatty, how do you talk?! Master, I'll teach you how to treat each other politely! Sikong Xi stepped forward, and under the ill-fitting big gun, the iron armor clanged, and his face turned red and he glared at the shopkeeper. His hand was already on the scabbard, about to be drawn.
Gu Jian gently pressed Sikong Xi's hand that was tightly squeezing the scabbard from below, and slowly shook his head.
"Shopkeeper, self-respect!" Yi Yu stared at the shopkeeper coldly, pulled off the Fan Long seal on his waist, and smashed it on the shopkeeper's face.
When a few little guys saw this scene, they panicked, and they hurriedly put down the work in their hands and helped up the fat shopkeeper on the ground with difficulty.
"Blood! It's blood! I don't know who suddenly yelled, and several people became extremely frightened, and stood aside in a daze, not daring to approach the shopkeeper again.
"You...... You dare to hurt me with a secret weapon! The shopkeeper vigorously pressed the bleeding wound on his forehead, and snatched the seal that the little servant had picked up earlier with his other hand.
"Don't take a look first...... What does the secret weapon look like? Yi Yu seemed to be smiling, "The inn under the palace is not a place for a rabble like you to be powerful!" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised his hand to look at the seal. On the seal with blood stains, a Fan Dragon was vividly carved, but the shopkeeper just wanted to attack, this was nothing more than a simple seal, and he woke up suddenly.
"This ...... This is! The shopkeeper roared in horror, and his body jerked down, "Fan Long Seal!" You are the men of the Governors...... No...... No, adults! Little confession! Little confession! I hope the general will let the villain go! ”
"Serve the food first!" Yi Yu didn't pay any attention to the shopkeeper anymore, and motioned for Sikong Xi to take over Fan Long's seal.
"The little one understands! The little one understands! The shopkeeper ignored the blood flowing on his face, bowed down in fear, and glared at a few little guys fiercely, "What are you guys still doing!" Serve a couple of generals wine! A bunch of rubbish! ”
All the servants moved, and one after another people went into the back kitchen to buy dishes, leaving only one servant who bowed his eyebrows and bowed his eyes to send a pot of fine wine. But at this time, the shopkeeper dragged the horizontal meat all over his body and greeted him.
"Generals!" The shopkeeper snatched the wine in front of the little guy, snatched the wine with his hand, put the wine jug lightly on the table, and waved it again and again, "The small one is far away, and the small one is far away!" I hope that the generals will forgive their sins! ”
The shopkeeper lowered his head, faintly hearing the sonorous sound of iron armor and the cold opening and closing of the scabbard under everyone's crowd.
"Please," Yi Yu smiled, lifted the flask to fill the glass, and poured himself a sip, "This wine...... It's excellent! ”
"The little ones are scared!" The shopkeeper slowly wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief. It is a great luck that the general who neglected the military service city in this way was not killed.
"My horses are tired, please give them some shelter to settle into."
"Of course! Of course! The fat on the shopkeeper's face trembled, and he felt a little happy, "It's a small honor to serve the general!" ”
The shopkeeper turned around and walked out of the curtain, but his body froze, and he turned around again with a smile, it was Yi Yu who was calling him.
"Another thing is that my horses have been hungry for a long time, and I asked the shopkeeper to give them some hay to eat, and they are tired."
The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed, "Where is it, it's a little bit of thoughtlessness!" ”
With that, he hurried out.
"Little Er, go get a pot of wine for the master!" Cheng Bi, Bei Tangsheng, and Wu Leadbaht sat in the corner, obviously not wanting to get too close to Yi Yu and the others. His face was gloomy, and he must have been extremely cold, and he urgently needed soju to warm up.
"Come here." Yi Yu beckoned the two of them to sit beside him, wanting to pour the wine.
Gu Key's eyes turned and kicked Sikong Xi. Sikong Xi was in pain, reacted, hurriedly smiled and went to take the wine jug, stood up and poured a full bottle of wine for Yi Yu and Gu Key.
Yi Yu took a deep look at Sikong Xi and drank the wine.
"On the way back, there will be two inns, and this inn is a more comfortable one than the latter two." Yi Yu took the two plates of side dishes handed over by another servant, picked up a piece of meat, and filled it into his mouth, "So don't be stingy with your stomach." ”
"By the way, what are those boys doing sitting there?" Yi Yu leaned over and glanced at Cheng Bi and the others, "Call them all over, what they look like, I don't know the system!" ”
Yi Yu was just about to get up, but Gu Jian grabbed him at an inopportune time.
"Director, sit down first."
Yi Yu looked at the ancient key suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
"Director, you may have come impartially, but you are a little late......," Gu Key whispered, "Before you came, those three tried to kill us by the hands of some people in the city, but they were finally stopped by the Governor. ”
"Kill you? They're just kids. Yi Yu took a deep breath, "Gu Key, I've been teaching you for some years, don't you want me to use the public for personal gain?" ”
"Public for personal gain? Director, what are you talking about? I have followed you for so many years, don't you understand my style? ”
"And what do you mean?"
"I just want the Director to pay more attention to them......" Gu Key sighed softly.
"It's just a fight between children...... Yi Yu took another piece of meat, giving up the idea of calling Cheng Bi and the three over, "But don't worry, I'll pay more attention." ”
"It's good that the director understands." Gu Key lowered his head and drank.
"What does the Governor think about this?" Yi Yu remembered what Du Du said again, these boys are already at an inappropriate age, accustomed to seeing life and death, what does this mean?
"If the governor looked deeper...... Then they probably won't follow. "Gu Key is a little drunk.
"You mean...... Do they have a purpose? ”
"Of course, it's still early, so I asked Brother Yi to pay more attention."
"You're drunk, Ancient Key." Yi Yu looked at Gu Key's flushed face, "You are still the same as before, drunk and drunk." ”
Gu Key didn't respond, just drank a glass of wine. Yi Yu took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the door.
"Director, what are you going to do?" Sikong Xi swallowed and ate and couldn't help but ask.
"Little one, what do you think of the shopkeeper of this inn?" Yi Yu turned around to look at Sikong Xi, and there seemed to be a smile hidden in his eyes.
"What do you want to say...... It must be extremely snobbish......" Sikong Xi said slowly.
"No, think again."
"Deceive the upper and lower levels, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so he will do nonsense."
"It's already very close," Yi Yu lifted the curtain and walked out, "I, as the eyes and ears of the governor, if I indulge this person, it will be difficult to convince the public." ”
Sikong Xi was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something. He turned his attention back to Gu Key, but Gu Key was about to fall asleep because of the strength of the wine.
"Senior brother, wake up!" From time to time, his eyes glanced at the three Beitang Sheng who were sitting not far away.
"Xi boy, what are you doing?" The ancient key tossed his hand away, a little annoyed.
"What do you ask me to do?" Sikong Xi lowered his voice, "What should you do with the things you ordered those officials in Yong'an!" ”
"Rest assured...... Everything is ready. Gu Key said slowly.
"Ready? But in just one day's interval, the officials of the whole city went out to investigate the shadows, and if they found the shadows, who should they report to? Governor? But how could the Governor know about this! ”
"That's why I said everything was ready."
Sikong Xi was stunned, "Senior brother, you ......"
"Don't worry...... Xi boy, those shadows will be uprooted, I promise. ”
Sikong Xi didn't say anything more, he had heard this many times, but no one could know whether the guarantee of the ancient key would be made or not. He raised his eyes to see Gu Key's body half-lying on the desk, and for a moment he couldn't figure out whether Gu Key was asleep or awake.
