Chapter 145: Black Panther
The sun is shining, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, this rare good weather makes most people happy.
"Jingle Bell."
"Jingle Bell."
With the sound of clanging bells, a convoy stepped into the capital of Wujun, which was the southern side of the empire, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In view of the special geographical location, Wujun is extremely prosperous in commerce, with an unusually large number of convoys coming and going, and Wujun is far away from the imperial capital Bian'an City, which brings a touch of freedom to the people here.
The current team is the team of the Xinglong Dart Bureau that has gone through hardships.
With Lin Xiao taking the lead, his heroic figure made the officers and soldiers and passers-by at the city gate a little straight-eyed.
Such a girl, even in Wujun, where there are many people, is extremely rare.
It's a pity that Lin Xiao was unmoved, and drove forward with a cold face, since she experienced her father's death, she seemed to have opened up a lot overnight.
The strength of a person's heart, perhaps, only takes a moment.
In the dart team, the others accompanied in obscurity, most of them, after experiencing that incident, were inexplicably silent, although the situation was pressing, but most of them were indifferent to their "betrayal" after all.
The atmosphere of the convoy was a little awkward.
And someone, still acting as a discordant note.
Zuo Yin sat on the carriage, crossed his legs, held his head in his hands, and looked at the clear sky.
His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was enjoying the occasional blow.
Like a lazy cat basking in the sunset.
When he arrived in Cangnan, such weather was rare.
He couldn't help but think about all the events of that day.
When those bandits withdrew, Jiang Ye, the second-in-command of the original Xinglong Dart Bureau, also slipped away, but Lin Xiao did not ask at that time, and Zuo Yin was not interested in killing again.
Most of the dart masters, although they had different intentions after Lin Rong's death, but that was for the dart game, if they wanted to become roadblock bandits, it was impossible for them to be forced by no one.
As for him killing the eagle-eyed youth, Zuo Yin had a faint regret in his heart, but he had no regrets.
He was in Zhuxian Town, and met Sister Miao Yan and Miss Yan'er, because as early as when he left Cangnan, Du Wanli, the commander of the forest department, and Dugu Wang, the deputy general, hinted at it, so he dared to bet.
But in that case, he couldn't gamble because he had already hidden his identity, and even if he made a move at that time, the others wouldn't think too much.
At most, I will only think that the shopkeeper Song has good power, and he has the money to invite a "master" to escort the goods.
This is also Zuo Yin's confidence.
……
Li's thigh, a simple young man, sat next to Zuo Yin for a long time.
At the beginning, he was still a little repulsed and afraid of Zuo Yin, not as cordial as he was to Zuo Yin at the beginning.
Probably seeing this peer who gets along day and night, suddenly became a strong man with both Billin Dart Head and Butcher Wei, so he didn't know how to do it in his heart.
Later, he thought clearly, so what, his friend named Yingyu has not changed, but he has hidden his own killing.
Li Thighs saw that he was about to be separated from Zuo Yin, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, he hesitated for a while, and said, "Brother Win, I'm sorry these past few days." ”
Zuo Yin was watching the flow of people on the street, and was stunned when he heard Li's words, and then he came to his senses and shrugged his shoulders, "It's okay, but remember what I told you." ”
Li Thigh nodded, "In the dart team, Brother Win treats me very well, this kindness, my Li Thigh will never forget." ”
Zuo Yin put his hand on his shoulder, suddenly looked at the front of the dart team, looked at the heroic woman, suddenly smiled, and said in a low voice: "To be honest, Miss Lin Xiao's back is still quite good." ”
"Brother Win, you-"
Li Thighs obviously didn't expect that Ying Yu, who had always been serious and indifferent, would say such a thing, Zuo Yin smiled.
The woman in front of her, probably sensing her back, turned around angrily, but saw Li's thighs blushing, and Zuo Yin with a wicked smile on her face.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, but finally looked ahead with hatred and didn't care about the two guys anymore.
When he arrived at the place where the goods were handed over, Zuo Yin looked at the branch of the shopkeeper Song and found the person in charge of the branch, he thought about it, looked at the person in charge with an elegant face like Confucianism, and asked: "This gentleman, do you have money here?" ”
To be honest, this is the first time Zuo Yin has borrowed money, and he is still with a person he has never met, but the person in charge who looks like a Confucian obviously knows the relationship between Zuo Yin and his own shopkeeper, and he smiled kindly at the moment: "Win the little brother's order, we will definitely complete it." ”
Zuo Yin nodded and said in a low voice: "One hundred taels, is there any?" ”
The face of the person in charge was a little strange, he originally thought that this Yingyu wanted the lion to open his mouth, but he didn't expect to ask for a hundred taels.
Although this money is already a huge amount for ordinary people, it is not much for their silk shop.
Considering that this young man was a person valued by Shopkeeper Song, the person in charge hesitated.
Zuo Yin chuckled in his heart, something was wrong.
Do you want too much?
He asked again, "Or, fifty taels?" ”
The face of the person in charge is even more eccentric, and the cognition of money can often see whether a person's atmosphere is or not, although this young man called Yingyu looks outstanding, his temperament is also restrained and fades away, how can he be so stingy about money?
Of course, he wouldn't know that although Zuo Yin was extremely brave on the battlefield, he could also deal with high-ranking officials and nobles with ease, talked and laughed with Lu Muchu in the five sects, and had another fight with Ouyang Shun in the five sects, but in terms of money, Zuo Yin was still Zuo Yin.
It's still the little medicine picker in Qingshan City.
The person in charge seemed to have made up his mind and planned to perform well in front of the red man in the eyes of the shopkeeper Song, so he said respectfully: "Or, three hundred taels?" ”
Zuo Yin's pupils contracted instantly, but fortunately, he was in the same mood, he nodded, and agreed.
In his heart, he was a little helpless, worthy of opening a silk shop, that is, he was rich.
The person in charge who looked like a Confucian student cleaned up and handed over a large package full of three hundred taels of silver.
Zuo Yin smiled and nodded, and then carried the package and walked into the courtyard of this silk shop.
Here, everyone in the Xinglong Dart Bureau was about to finish unloading, and Zuo Yin saw Lin Xiao in the innermost, who was checking things with the steward of the silk shop.
He had already stepped into the compound, but suddenly something sounded, and he went back the way he came.
The dart masters in the dart game originally looked a little strange, because they found that this silk shop only had respect for Zuo Yin, but they didn't have much familiarity, and it felt like they were meeting for the first time.
Zuo Yin didn't care about the eyes of the people of the dart team, he returned to the front desk of this silk shop, found the person in charge again, and asked, "Xinglong Dart Bureau, has it not been settled yet?" ”
The person in charge nodded, he looked at Zuo Yin's expression, and suddenly had a trace of guess, "Gongzi Yingyu wants to ......"
The man pointed to the courtyard and smiled knowingly, with the look that a man would know.
Zuo Yin didn't expect this person in charge to understand people's hearts so well, so he smiled: "I also bothered to give this package to Miss Lin Xiao, just say that it was my cost to eat and drink along the way." ”
The person in charge hesitated, "Young Master Ying, according to my observation, this Lin Xiao girl belongs to a strong heart, I'm afraid ......"
The rest of the words, the person in charge did not say it, but he believed that Zuo Yin understood.
Zuo Yin thought for a moment and said lightly: "On the way here, Miss Lin Xiao has experienced a lot of things, and she should know what it means to judge the situation." ”
Situation?
These four words made the person in charge stare, and then he arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, Gongzi Ying, I will bring your words." ”
After explaining this, Zuo Yin carried a waist knife and walked out of the silk shop.
This is the middle zone between the East China Sea and southern Xinjiang, although it is the capital of Wu County, but it is close to Hu County, and it has been developed by taking advantage of geographical convenience.
There was a faint salty smell in the air at the moment, which was dependent on the rivers from which large quantities of seafood were shipped to various parts of the empire.
Growing so big, Zuo Yin has never seen the sea, which is really a pity.
On the street, the costumes of passers-by are very different from those in the atrium, and the costumes here are more capable, but Zuo Yin is full of interest.
All of a sudden, there was a surge of people, people were constantly shouting, and people in the shops on both sides of the street suddenly rushed into the street, rushing towards a certain place.
"Go, go, Master Yide is going to say the law again."
"Hurry up, hurry up, there's no place if you're late."
"it, hurry up."
……
The crowd is chaotic, it seems that there is something interesting, Zuo Yin has experienced such a long journey, anyway, he wants to rest here for a day or so, and he just happened to join in the fun.
However, when he rushed to a certain street corner and squeezed into the crowd, he saw a masked man wearing a hat, dressed in plain clothes, sitting cross-legged on the ground.
His pale yellow pupils were full of serenity, and his two hands were in the shape of lotus prints, which were very dusty.
Under his arm, there was also a panther lying there.
Some familiar black panthers.
The panther was originally lying quietly, but at the moment Zuo Yin appeared, the panther seemed to feel something, and suddenly stretched out his ears and stared at Zuo Yin.
Its sharp teeth, constantly revealed, and even the pink gums, trembled, angry, and terrified.
Zuo Yin put his hand on the waist knife and looked at the black panther.
The heart has long been turbulent.
The black panther of the alien race actually appeared here?
