The sky was slightly bright, and the blue wall of heaven was like a huge sapphire that had just been mined, pure without a trace of flaw. The medicine tasting conference ended yesterday, and early this morning, the envoys, nobles, medicine wizards, and medicine merchants from all over the world who gathered for the medicine tasting conference packed their bags and prepared to leave Wuxian City.

After this conference, the envoys of many countries recruited excellent medicine wizards for the country, and they could not wait to rush back to the country so that they could return to the king as soon as possible, and work out a plan for strengthening the army using pills. And the pharmacists also sold a lot of medicinal materials and made a lot of money through this event.

Of course, there are proud, and naturally there are disappointed people, just like an exam, it is inevitable that there will be good and bad, but no matter what the result is, the drug tasting conference has ended. As soon as the gate of Wuxian City was opened this morning, people kept leaving Wuxian City one after another with their bags and carriages, and Yang Ming and they also left early with General Liu Chen.

In this place, Yang Ming really didn't want to stay for a moment.

The gates were full of departing people, but when it was almost noon, a convoy of twenty wagons with a load of goods drove into the city of Witchham, and the goods behind the carriages were very tightly covered with sackcloth, and they did not go through the main gate, but entered the city through the side gates.

......

In the room of the inn, Zhou Peng had already packed his luggage early, at this time, there was a bright red heart on the table, this was his heart, when he saw his heart fall out of his body for the first time yesterday, Zhou Peng almost fainted, but now he is used to it.

Zhou Peng is the man who took Zaijin yesterday, he is a pharmacist from Xu Guolai. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the medicine tasting conference in Wuxian City to make a good profit, but he didn't expect that yesterday he went to watch the medicine tasting conference, and he ran into a giant who went crazy, and when he ran away on the street, he accidentally fell and was crushed under the falling boulder, and half of his body was smashed. The medicine wizard who had given him the elixir told him that he now had only seven days to live.

Early in the morning, Zhou Peng packed his clothes, he wanted to go back to see his family as soon as possible, he had been doing business abroad all these years, and had little time to spend with his wife and children, he always felt that there was still a lot of time in the future, and now he should be working hard to make money, but he was wrong, what is the use of money, when he was about to die, the only thing he remembered in his heart was his family, and he regretted that he did not spend more time with his wife and son before.

But Zhou Peng didn't want to go home like this, so he borrowed a needle and thread, and then stuffed the heart back into his body, and used needle and thread to sew up the blood holes in his stomach one by one.

It took a lot of time, and finally the sewing was finished. Zhou Peng got dressed, picked up his luggage, and was about to go out when a strange man suddenly broke in through the window.

"Who are you?" Zhou Peng was startled and asked in a panic.

The man didn't answer Zhou Peng's question, he just looked at Zhou Peng with indifferent eyes, and said, "You don't need to know who I am, I just came to you to get something." ”

"What's it? I've never taken anything from you. After confirming that he didn't know the man, Zhou Peng asked suspiciously.

The man said: "Yes, it is the pill you took yesterday, and then in the world." ”

"Don't be joking, I've already eaten it in my stomach in the human world, how can this be given to you?" Zhou Peng was even more puzzled, in the human world, he took it yesterday, and now that the pill has already been decomposed and digested in his body, how can he take it out again.

The man sneered and said, "Of course you can." Just let you go back to yesterday when you just took it and reined in the world. ”

Before Zhou Peng could react, the man's figure flashed, and he came to Zhou Peng. The man grabbed Zhou Peng's shoulder with his left hand, and then stretched out his right hand, only to see countless points of light flickering, and in the next second, an hourglass appeared in the man's hand.

"The Hourglass of Time, Against the Current. The man placed the hourglass in front of Zhou Peng with his right hand, faced him, flipped the hourglass, and the sand began to fall from one end.

It was not only the sand that fell, but also Zhou Peng's time. Time began to flow back to Zhou Peng.

Zhou Peng's body gradually changed, the wound that had just been stitched up, the needle and thread unexpectedly unraveled by itself, and the blood hole in the abdomen cracked, no, it should have returned to the previous state of cracking, and the heart fell out again. Then, Zhou Peng's body writhed and convulsed, his head, chest, limbs, and all parts of his body were twisting and changing, and after a while, his heart returned to Zhou Peng's body, his right abdomen was bloody, his internal organs and intestines were exposed, and he was drenched in blood, Zhou Peng also fell into a coma, and his body had returned to the state he had just taken yesterday.

The man's pupils tightened instantly, and he stared at Zhou Peng's throat carefully, and soon, Zhou Peng's throat suddenly bulged, as if he had just swallowed something.

The man was overjoyed and immediately stopped the hourglass,

"This is the time. After speaking, the two fingers of the man's right hand were directly inserted into Zhou Peng's throat, and then quickly took it out, only to see that between the two fingers of the man's right hand, there was a bloody pill, which was exactly what Zhou Peng swallowed yesterday.

This is the mental image of a man. The man's name is Wu Zhong, he is one of the guards of Wuxian City, and An Shice was specially hired by Wu Zhong because An Shice took a fancy to his mental image, utensils, tools, and hourglass. When Wu Zhong flips the hourglass, he can make time flow back to the person or object, so that the state of the person or thing can return to the previous state, such as the vase that has just been broken, as long as Wu Jian flips the hourglass, after a while, the vase can return to the way it was before it was broken.

Wu Zhong's strength is Sanli Yueyao, and he can restore people's bodies to the way they were twelve hours ago at most. Just now, Wu Zhong used the mental image, the hourglass, to let Zhou Peng's body return to the moment when he had just swallowed Zaiji, and the pill just entered his throat, and then Wu Zhong pierced Zhou Peng's throat and took out Zaihe before the pill entered his stomach.

Wu Zhong looked at Zaiji, his eyes flashed with heat, and he laughed and said, "Hahaha, even the elixir that the Yama Ghost couldn't snatch was ...... by me."

Then, Wu Zhong glanced at Zhou Peng who fell to the ground, because there was no longer a human being, Zhou Peng quickly lost his breath, and blood flowed all over the ground.

"Don't blame me, it's all your life, if you want to blame, blame your life. Wu Zhong shook his head slightly, and after putting it away in the world, he took out a bottle of potion from his arms, opened the cork, and suddenly a pungent smell came out, Wu Zhong held his breath and poured the green potion in the bottle on Zhou Peng's corpse.

The potion dripped into the blood, and there was an instant reaction, Zhou Peng's body "呑" blistered with blood, and white gas rose, and the air was filled with a fishy smell, which was disgusting, and after a while, Zhou Peng's corpse turned into a pool of blood, and even his clothes melted, and soon, the blood also volatilized and became particles in the air.

This potion, called "corpse liquid", is a specially refined poison of the black bird, which is specially used to destroy the corpse. In this way, no one will know that Zhou Peng is dead, and people will only know that he has disappeared.

After everything was done, Wu Zhongcai nodded in satisfaction and left through the window.

......

Moon Tower, in the room.

Su Buying took over the Zai Ren from Wu Zhong's hand, she walked to the window, and admired the pill by the sunlight outside the window.

"Hehe, in the world, in the world, do you know how many people have died for you?" The girl's slender and white hand held the elixir and placed it in the sun, her eyes were gentle and flowing, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.

"Congratulations to Miss Buying, you finally got the next world. Wu Zhong stepped forward and said, with a greedy look in his eyes.

Su Bu chuckled, she naturally knew what Wu Zhong was thinking in her heart, so she said: "You have also worked hard, you will go to the account room in a while and receive three thousand taels of silver." ”

"Thank you, Miss Buying, for the reward. ”

At this time, a maid knocked on the door and said, "Miss Buying, He Tieshou has just entered Wuxian City with the goods. ”

"He Tieshou, this bastard, how did he deliver the goods, a month later than the scheduled time. After listening to the maid's report, Su Buying's face immediately turned to anger, on the one hand, He Tieshou was late for transporting the goods, and on the other hand, Su Buying was very disgusted with this robber leader named He Tieshou, if it wasn't for his "business" dealings, Su Buying would not want to see this kind of money-greedy and womanizer.

Su Buying handed over the re-entry to the maid and instructed: "Immediately hand over this elixir to Mr. Wulu, and by the way, tell him that the goods have arrived." ”

After speaking, Su Buying led Wu Zhong to meet He Tieshou, He Tieshou was such a dangerous bandit, Su Buying didn't want to meet him alone.

......

In a courtyard in the south of Wuxian City, it is very remote and there are few pedestrians.

A group of dozens of people, escorted by twenty carriages parked in the courtyard, led by a man in his thirties, he is the leader of the robbers, He Tieshou, and behind him are his two sworn brothers, He Yan and Gao Man.

He Tieshou was originally the deputy general of Zheng Guo's army, and his strength was Qili Yueyao, but this person was greedy for money and lustful, he fell in love with the concubine of a noble family in the city, and couldn't help it for a while, at night, he and his two sworn brothers sneaked into the nobleman's house and raped the concubine, but he didn't expect to be discovered, so he simply killed the nobleman's family and robbed the nobleman's property, fled from Zheng Guo overnight, and started a robber business since then.

No longer bound by the discipline of the army, their desires were all unleashed.

In the past few years, He Tieshou and others have become a notorious bandit gang in the eastern territory, people say that they eat people and do not spit out bones, they will not let go of anything that can be sold for money, silver, clothes, jewelry, and even people, men will be sold to do coolies, and women will be sold to brothels for money after they are finished, if they encounter resistance, they will be brutally killed, and then stripped naked, and thrown into the wilderness. Wherever they robbed, nothing remained, like a corpse that had been eaten by a vicious dog.

"Big brother, this time we are more than a month late, do you think Su Buying's little lady will blame us?" He Yan licked his tongue, thinking about Su Buying's beauty, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"You're embarrassed to ask, it's not all your fault, after robbing the village, we can leave, you have to stay a little longer. He Tieshou sat on the rock and said, but his tone did not mean to blame at all.

"Hey, big brother, you can't blame me, the little ladies in that village are really beautiful, and they were killed after only one play, it's a pity, of course you have to play a few more times, besides, eldest brother and second brother, aren't you also having a lot of fun." He Yan wiped his saliva and said with a dirty look.

"Hahaha, that's what I said. He Tieshou laughed, recalling the "gentle things" in the village a few days ago, and he really couldn't get enough of it.

More than a month ago, they robbed a village, delaying time because they coveted the bodies of women in the village.

"However, if I want to say that no matter how beautiful a woman is, it can't compare to Su Buying, if you can get Su Buying to bed, even if you die, it's worth it. The second brother rubbed his palms and said faintly.

"Second brother, Su Buying is An Shice's person, this An Shice can live in the East for more than ten years, and is deeply respected by all countries, so he is naturally deep in strength and can't be easily provoked. He Tie held his chin in his hand and said helplessly. "Don't lose your life for a woman, it's not worth it, there are a lot of women waiting for us outside. ”

"That's what the eldest brother said. These ten pheasants are not as good as the swans, then a hundred. Gao Man nodded again and again and said.

As she spoke, Su Buying had already entered the courtyard, followed by Wu Zhong.

"Ouch, Miss Buying, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you're beautiful again. Seeing Su Buying coming, He Tieshou hurriedly got up, a touch of greed flashed in his eyes, licked his mouth, and said with a smile.

"He Tieshou, according to the appointed time, you should have shipped the goods to Wuxian City before the drug tasting conference, but you are more than a month late. The willow eyebrows were upside down, and Su Buying said angrily.

Hearing this, He Tieshou just replied with a smile: "Miss Buying, don't be angry, it's not easy to do business to rob people now." In order to get together these two hundred young men, how many villages do we have to rob, and we have to catch up with a hundred miles to send Wuxian City, but it is very hard. ”

Su Buying pulled her mouth gloomily, unwilling to worry about He Tieshou anymore, and said, "Forget it, let me take a look at the goods first." ”

He Tieshou made a look, and his men pulled the sackcloth behind the carriage, only to see that the cage behind them was crowded with young men, they were unkempt, their hands and feet were tightly tied with ropes, and their mouths and eyes were covered.

Twenty wagons, two hundred males.

This is the "business" between Wu Xiancheng and He Tieshou, He Tieshou sends 200 men to Wu Xiancheng every three months, and Wu Xiancheng pays He Tieshou 10,000 taels of silver, as for what these 200 men are used for, He Tieshou does not know.

Including the village that was robbed a month ago, He Tieshou ransacked a total of three villages before he could get together the two hundred men, of course, in addition to robbing the men, he also robbed other belongings in the village, including women, but in the last village, because they wasted too much time, the women who were finished by them did not have time to sell them to the brothel for money, so they were brutally killed, and the village was burned down.
