"Little guest officer, what are you doing when you come out? It's so cold on this day, but it's nice to stay in the house and be warm......" The old man, who claimed to be the shopkeeper's father, touched the cigarette stick and knocked out the burned waste from the smoke pot by the stone railing.

"That's the case, our director, he asked me to ...... here" Sikong Xi suddenly stopped his voice and didn't dare to continue, and looked at the old man with blank eyes, as if he was hiding something.

"Little guest officer?" The old man was also stunned for a moment, and slowly showed a smile, "The old man knows that there are some things that the little guest officer is inconvenient to say, so since the little guest officer is unwilling to say it, I won't be that unintentional person, and I will ask again and again." ”

"Thank you then...... Uncle. Sikong Xi hurriedly moved.

"Don't tight, don't tight!" The old man hurriedly helped Sikong Xi up.

Outside the courtyard, there was a loud sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of people's low cheering and training horses came from far and near, and their sometimes high-pitched and sometimes whispering voices made Sikong Xi unable to hear it really. The sound of hooves was stopped only for a short time, and it was the riders who calmed the restless horses.

This was the atrium of the inn, and the sound was loud enough to reach the atrium, apparently someone from outside the street had brought the horses into the inn. But at such times, who would bring a large number of horseback riders to the inn?

Sikong Xi frowned, clenched the war knife under his sleeve, and pulled it out in the next moment, "Old man...... At such a time, who is in the vestibule? With such a loud neighing of horses, there should be no less than dozens of horses! ”

"Dozens of horses? Then maybe it's a qu horse that my son rented out before. The guests said they were going to borrow the horses to hunt the wild beasts of the mountains. Then they will sell some to me at a low price. The old man looked over.

"Quma? But such a violent snort is not as smooth as Quma should be, are you mistaken, uncle? Sikong Xi looked at the old man, "This sound of kicking and breathing is like the Luobei horse that is abundant in Northland Luoyin City." ”

"Lotin? This ......," the old man wanted to say and stopped.

At this moment, the vestibule suddenly exploded with the shouts of several people, and the footsteps got closer and closer.

"Shopkeeper! Where's the shopkeeper?! A man in a short linen robe crossed the threshold, entered the doorway, and saw Sikong Xi and the two standing in front of him.

"Old man, do you know where the shopkeeper has gone?" With a smile on his face, the man approached the old man.

"Isn't the shopkeeper in the vestibule?" The old man frowned, feeling a little strange, "Didn't you see him when you came in?" ”

"In the vestibule? That's impossible! When I came with my brothers, there was no one in front of me, how strange it was! The man scratched his head, a little helpless. He also seemed to be frightened by the old man's words.

Sikong Xi stood quietly behind the old man, secretly inadvertently probing all suspicious behaviors on the man. He deliberately hid himself so as not to divert the man's attention to him.

A few years ago, when Sikong Xi was begging in the eastern country, he had heard this special eastern accent, and he also wondered why the people there always spoke in a vague tone with some mysterious meaning, as if they were hiding a treacherous conspiracy.

But Sikong Xi can't make a move now, and he is not sure of the true identity of this person, if he makes a mistake or makes a rash move, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

"It shouldn't be......"

The old man pondered for a while, then anxiously walked past the man and towards the vestibule. The man muttered a few words in a low voice that he couldn't really hear, and followed behind.

Sikong Xi was stunned for a moment, and the war knife in his hand almost fell to the ground in a panic. He was a little scared that the sight before him had not happened as he had expected, but the old man who was addicted to smoking might die.

To say that this man who came suddenly had no purpose, Sikong Xi didn't believe it. Not to mention this most critical moment, any stranger who comes here may be the wolf Gu Si soldier and Lu Chi's subordinates who hide the butcher's knife.

After hesitating again and again, he still decided to find out what the man was doing, thinking secretly in his heart, as soon as he felt the danger, he would desperately flee back to report Yi Yu.

As soon as I crossed the doorway, in the stable not far away, dozens of restless horses kicked and trampled on the horses' hooves. The fiery horses showed only a huge horse's head, snorting like beasts. As soon as they saw Sikong Xi coming from the atrium, as if they had seen prey to be slaughtered, the neighing of the horses became even more violent.

Sikong Xi stayed for a long time, and it was the first time he had seen such a restless horse. Fearing that the neighing of the horses would attract the man's attention, he hurried past the stable. It's just that to his surprise, these fierce horses are not as brave and not as brutal as Luobei Wang's horses, but like angry lions.

……

"We brothers have been shouting in the front hall for a long time without seeing a single figure, and we are all in a hurry to settle the bill so that we can hurry home! Take a good look! The man pointed to the few people standing in front of the store, a little displeased.

The old man entered the front hall and stood still, nodding with a smile, but his eyes quietly looked at the entourage, and he was a little frightened in his heart.

There were many figures standing solemnly in front of the door, each of them wearing a black coat that ran straight through the body, and as the figure gradually moved, the sound of the collision of iron armor could be faintly heard. The speed at which the men docked their horses into the stables was a little too fast.

Leased horses will only obey the orders of the treasurer. And these hunters, who easily command their horses, are really suspicious. The old man pretended to look out casually, but found that Yuru Street was empty. At this time, it should be the most prosperous moment of Yuru Street, but now it is empty. Obviously, someone deliberately evacuated the crowd on Yuru Street, and only Lu Chi's subordinates were able to evacuate the crowd.

"Guest officer, wait a minute, old man, I'll reconcile the accounts with you first!" The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked tremblingly towards the back of the counter.

"Reconciliation? Old man, what is your relationship with the shopkeeper? The man was stunned for a moment and frowned, "You're not a miscellaneous worker here?" ”

"The grass people used to be the old shopkeeper here, but ......" The old man froze, realizing that he had said the wrong thing in his voice. He shouldn't have surrendered himself...... This is tantamount to telling the visitor that he has found the clue!

The old man hurriedly walked into the counter, wanting to take out the account book and reconcile with the man, trying to maneuver.

But at this time, he suddenly tripped over something under his feet, he stabilized his body, but he also saw clearly what tripped over him on the ground, and the cigarette stick in the palm of his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

"This! This! Son! The old man cried out, fell to the ground on his back, and clung to the mangled corpse, "Son! O my son! ”

In this cold weather, although the corpse had just died, the corpse had already stiffened and cold. The door of the hotel was wide open, and the cold wind howled in, and there were hundreds of men dressed in black clothes standing inside and at the door.

"Let's do it." In the corner, a man in a black hat reclined on a meditation chair and shook his hand gently, unable to see his eyebrows.

As soon as the words fell, the man who had been pretending to be in power had already pulled out the hunting knife in his sheath and stepped forward to cut off the old man's head.

The old man's body fell to the ground weakly, and not far from the back door, Sikong Xi, who only missed a crack in the door and peeked, was stunned, he watched the old man's body on the ground separated, and he forgot to flee back to report Yi Yu for a while.

"Strongman, let me ask you, when you went to the atrium to investigate before, did you see a group of suspicious people?" Beitang Sheng exposed the corner of his hat and pressed the knife in the man's hand.

"Suspicious? The villain didn't see it...... This old man is the only one. The man was thoughtful, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and suddenly patted his head and looked at Beitang Sheng as if he was invited, "Wait!" I remember that there was a white-faced boy standing behind this old man! Sneaky ...... It's like looking for my identity! I didn't notice him, so I led the old guy over! ”

"Your mission is complete, dispose of the corpse, hurry back!" Beitang Sheng covered his hat and threw a bag of gold baht over.

"Thank you, Your Excellency! Thank you, Your Excellency! The man intercepted the golden baht, and smiled and bowed to Beitang Sheng and the man sitting on the meditation chair several times.

He turned and waved his hand to the brothers gathered around the black soldiers, and a few Orions followed the man, pushing open the door and preparing to leave.

"Your Excellency...... Actually, the little one thought it was a little strange from the beginning, why do you have to put all the horses in the stable? The man couldn't keep his mouth shut and muttered a few words.

"It's none of your business here! Why don't you go quickly?! Beitang Sheng glared at the man, and the soldier behind him drew his sword in silence.

"Yes...... Be! The villain got it! The villain had actually heard something strange in the stable, as if the horses had found something. I don't mean anything else, don't be angry, my lord. The man laughed with him, and then walked out the door.

"Slow!" Yan Yitu, who was sitting on the Zen chair, called out the man who went out in a cold voice.

"Your Excellency......? Do you have anything else to talk about......" The man was stunned for a moment, and finally walked into the house again.

"Li Sanquan, go and close the door."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sturdy black soldier stepped back and locked the door. Dozens of hunters and men were isolated among the black soldiers, feeling extremely strange and murderous intent. It's just that they didn't notice that all the soldiers quietly drew their swords, and their eyes gradually became vicious.

"My lord?! What are you ......" Before the man finished speaking, his head was already cut off by a soldier behind him, and majestic blood gushed out, soaking the entire room.

After a short moment, the entire front hall became silent, except for the blood flowing on the ground.

"Why did you kill him?! He's just a civilian! After a short pause, Beitang Sheng angrily grabbed Yan Yitu's shirt and glared at him.

"Huh...... Why, you, who are like murderers, will you also have mercy on these foolish people? Yan Yitu sneered.

"Kill civilians in the city, if you are detected by Lu Chi's ears and eyes, Ning Ye's old thing will not be able to protect you!"

"What...... Is it? Lu Chi? You say Lu Chi? What kind of thing is he? Ning Ye's old thing's dog?! Yan Yitu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Hahahahaha!" He's been a dog a long time ago! You'd have a fear of a domestic dog! ”

Yan Yitu kicked Beitang Sheng violently, his eyes were cold, "Boy, you are getting more and more stupid, and stupid people are not worthy of letting me cooperate with them......"

"You...... How long will it take? Beitang Sheng grinned and bowed his body, and the pain in his heart rolled up, "Do you have to give Yi Yu time for them to escape!?" ”

"You're smart, that's how I've always thought of you." Yan Yitu looked towards the half-opened back door, his eyes meaningful, "But now, I feel like I'm working with a stupid beast. ”

"Keep an eye on it next time!" Yan Yitu's gaze turned to the crack in the back door, but the person secretly observing in the crack of the door was already gone.
