Chapter 313: The Butcher and the Snake [Fifth Update]
Cangzhou was already close to the south of the Chu State, and after a few days of departure, the team had already sailed out of Liaozhou, and further on, it was to the territory of the Chen State.
"Ahh
Tang Ning rubbed his nose, although they were driving south all the way, but the weather was now autumn, and it was still getting colder and colder, and Zhao Man had to be reminded to change the thick quilt at night.
Ahead is Shililin, when they came, they encountered an ambush there, thanks to his witty exchange of hostages with the other party, the crisis was eliminated and invisible.
He Rui got down from the carriage and looked at the forest in front of him, his face complicated.
Lu Teng rode over and said, "Tonight, I'm afraid I'm going to sleep in the forest again." ”
"Then speed it up." Tang Ning looked at the forest in front of him and said, "Stay one night today, and you can rest in Fengzhou tomorrow night." ”
Lu Teng nodded, looked at the back, and said, "Keep going!" ”
As the team approached, a figure suddenly appeared in the forest, and the forbidden soldiers first put on a defensive posture, but when they saw that there were only a few people on the other side, they went over to a team to inquire about the situation.
After a while, Lu Teng brought a few people over and said, "Lord Tang, they are the bandit leaders of Shililin, and they are here to show us the way this time." ”
The leader immediately said: "No, no, no, this general, we have been good, not a thief." ”
The man looked at Tang Ning and said expectantly: "My lord, we are now good, not thieves, and we listen to your orders every day, do more good deeds, punish evil and promote good......"
Tang Ning almost forgot that there was still this stubble, nodded and said, "You guys did a good job." ”
The man rubbed his hands and said, "In this case, my lord, can you give us the antidote, we promise that after taking the antidote, we will still be the same as before, only do good deeds, not bad deeds, punish evil and promote good, and accumulate good fortune and repay ......."
Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Actually, you are not poisoned. ”
Now it's poisoned, and it won't happen until a year later, I don't know if there is such a high-tech poison in the world, at least Tang Ning himself doesn't have the ability.
The man was stunned and said with a dry smile: "My lord said that you are laughing......
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "You don't believe me?" ”
The man shuddered for a moment, and immediately said, "Faith, faith, we will still do more good deeds in the future, and in a year, the adults must send someone to send an antidote......
He didn't believe the truth, and Tang Ning didn't have anything to do, the bandit leader didn't dare to say more, and said with a smile: "The little one goes to the front and leads the way for the adults......"
With these local snakes leading the way, this time from Shililin to Fengzhou, it was much smoother than last time.
When he arrived in Fengzhou, Tang Ning was surprised to find that what the bandit leader said was actually true.
In the past two months, Fengzhou suddenly has a good people's gang, helping hundreds of brothers, with the purpose of doing good deeds and spreading love, building bridges and paving roads, and punishing hooligans as the first priority, and has gained a lot of applause from the people in Fengzhou.
Whether they were sincere or not, their actions were commendable, and Tang Ning threw a packet of medicinal powder to him and said, "A bowl of water melts, and each person can detoxify it by drinking a sip." ”
This medicinal powder is actually rouge bought from Chu State, made of flower petals, pure natural and additive-free, he came back this time to buy a lot, except for the one purchased for Zhao Yuan, there are many, many more.
"Thank you, thank you, your lord." The former leader of the Ten Mile Forest bandits, now the leader of the Good Guy Gang fell to his knees, grateful.
Downing waved his hand, signaling that he could go.
He walked back to the post station, and when he saw Chen Zhou, he advised: "Take care of that woman, don't let her run away." ”
"Don't worry, sir." Chen Zhou patted his chest and said, "With three ropes, the pig has never been tied so tightly, the more she struggles, the tighter she gets, and she can't run." ”
Tang Ning patted him on the shoulder and said, "Not bad." ”
Although she is a captive like Wan Yanyan, the treatment of this Gongsun aunt here is not so good.
She has good martial arts skills and knows Gu arts, although her Gu worms were all searched out and burned by Tang Ning, but for the best of accidents, she was tied up all the way, and she was not qualified to ride a carriage alone, but was stuffed in a wagon, and there was no separate room for her in the post station, so she could only make do in the firewood room.
We must not be careless in dealing with such dangerous elements.
On the way back, he was like an arrow, and he was not willing to delay at all, and it was already afternoon when he arrived in Fengzhou, and he planned to set off again tomorrow morning.
If you don't delay on the road, you can go back in early October.
He walked back to the courtyard, Lao Zheng carried a knife in his hand, walked around the courtyard, and asked, "Do you see my whetstone?" ”
"Nope." Tang Ning shook his head and said, "You go and ask the cook, there must be one in the inn." ”
Lao Zheng's knife is not commonly used, but he always likes to grind, and he takes it out and sharpens it at two ends in three days, I don't know what kind of habit this is.
Speaking of using a knife, he just likes to use it to cut pig's ears and drink at night. Tang Ning had to admit that the pig ears cut out by Lao Zheng were moderately thin and thick, and they were really better than those cut by ordinary butchers.
Butcher Zheng walked to the kitchen and asked the cook, who was busy in front of the stove, "Is there a whetstone?" ”
The cook was busy cooking, and he didn't look back, and said, "Yes, it's in the firewood room next door, you can find it yourself." ”
Butcher Zheng pushed open the wooden door of the firewood room and searched around.
On the pillar in the middle of the firewood room, the middle-aged woman was tied there, and Butcher Zheng's gaze swept over her.
The middle-aged woman looked at him, and at a certain moment, she suddenly asked, "What are you looking for?" ”
Butcher Zheng looked around and asked, "Have you seen a whetstone?" ”
The middle-aged woman lowered her head and looked, raised her foot and stepped on it again, and said, "At my feet, you can come and get it." ”
Butcher Zheng looked over, and sure enough, he found a dark stone under her feet.
He walked over to the middle-aged woman and bent down.
The middle-aged woman's eyes were slightly condensed, and her eyebrows were raised.
At the same time, a strand of hair on her head suddenly fell, writhed in the air a few times, and went straight to Butcher Zheng's face like a living thing.
When I looked closely, I found that the thing was much thicker than a hair, and it was about to burrow into Butcher Zheng's nose in an instant.
The middle-aged woman had a sneer on her face, it was her most precious silver thread snake king Gu, which was hidden in her hair on weekdays, and it was also her last life-saving trick.
The Silver Thread Snake King is extremely fast, and the distance is so close that even a top master can't dodge, let alone an ordinary butcher?
Butcher Zheng raised his head and pinched it casually, and the object was pinched by him, and his body was still writhing.
He rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, and the object stopped struggling, motionless.
He clapped his hands, as if dusting off, looked up at the middle-aged woman, and said, "Silver Snake King, hide deep enough......"
The middle-aged woman's eyes tightened, and she said in a trembling voice: "How do you know ......?"
The person in front of her not only knew that the Silver Snake King, pinching her most powerful Gu worm to death was like pinching an ant to death, destroying the middle-aged woman's last hope, but also making her heart tremble.
Butcher Zheng shook his head and said, "There are not many people left in the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, I don't want to pass on the sect system, so why do I go to the grassland to join in the fun?" ”
When she heard the words "Ten Thousand Gu Sect", the middle-aged woman's complexion changed drastically for the first time, and she said sharply: "Who are you!" ”
"I'll kill the pig, nothing else, it's just that you're stepping on my whetstone." Zheng Butcher squatted on the ground and said, "Be good, raise your feet ......"
