Chapter 55: The Inn Gathers
Seven days before the execution, the top brass of the empire readjusted the amount of the reward for martial arts criminals. Regarding the chef Ding Qiliang, the running hall style exhibition, and even the mysterious caster of the inn, and even the female doctor Zhong Yunxiu have raised the reward amount, and their intention is naturally the instruction of the Yan family, in a vain attempt to make them be hindered by the always greedy martial arts people on the way to the Dharma field.
But it is also strange to say, Ning Wuxie, who has not been heard for a long time, Zhang Tianshi of Taoism, Master Fangzheng of Buddhism, and even the Iron Lion Sect, which should have had a slight holiday with the inn, released the news that the black and white martial arts of the rivers and lakes are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the inn and the empire.
After this news was released, the bounty hunters in various places who were originally afraid of the inn's strength but were attracted by the powerful bounty decided to stop. Because the Bajian Sect, Tiangong Mountain Taoism and Buddhism are the three most powerful factions among the nine major sects, no one will go against the meaning of this half of the martial arts.
There was just one person who didn't care about the constraints of martial arts rules, he was blindfolded, his hair ornaments were strange, and he went to the north alone.
……
……
In the northern weather, it is difficult to see such a sunny autumn scene in autumn. Di Yundu and Yan Xing drove side by side, and the horse's hooves were slow.
The more than 1,000 imperial elites surrounding them also looked calm. They don't believe that anyone would be so stupid as to hijack a prisoner's car, but they are happy to see someone come and hijack a prisoner, which means merit, money and promotion. The style of the Yan family is not clear to these people, but they are not stingy. Although Di Yundu is arrogant, he also has the demeanor of a soldier, but whenever there is meat to eat, he will inevitably let the soldiers below get a piece of the pie.
Before the execution, the intention of adjusting the bounty has another meaning.
That's the empire showing that the empire already knows who will come to rob the prisoners, and the bounty of these heads is as high as hundreds of thousands of taels, and Di Yun is so happy that he is so unhappy at the moment.
Although Yan Xing just a few days ago, he gave a speech to the scholar that the scholar thought was a winner, but he was not too sure in his heart.
Of course, he was willing to believe that the scholar's words that day were just to bring some displeasure to himself, but it was just a weak move to disgust his opponent before he died, but in case...... Did the unexpected really happen?
He didn't underestimate the inn, in two months or so, what could happen to this inn with unlimited potential, he couldn't predict. But he calculated that the inn's current combat power could not be compared with Tianji Pavilion.
In particular, the man died.
Yan Xing suddenly thought of something, he subconsciously pulled the reins, and the horse stopped.
Di Yundu asked: "Why, isn't Yan Gongzi used to playing the weak, and he has to pretend to be weak at this time?" ”
Yan Xing was silent for a moment and then said, "Maybe that person is not dead. ”
Di Yun didn't react for a while, and said, "The scholar's reaction is wrong. Maybe the innkeeper is still alive. ”
Di Yun laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha...... I thought what kind of thing could make Yan Gongzi so cautious, but he was just a loser. What if he wasn't dead? Wouldn't it be better to add another head with a bounty of 100,000 yuan, so that the soldiers under me could eat a little more meat. ”
Yan Xing said coldly: "This person's martial arts are not under you and me, and it is said that he entered the extreme intention before he died." ”
Di Yundu said: "I naturally investigated the people in the inn, the chef's martial arts are extraordinary, maybe you don't know what his exercises are, but I have seen some records from the secret books of the soldiers, this role can not be underestimated, but after all, the realm is low, running the hall is just a thief, just entering the martial arts, embarrassed to take on a big responsibility, the rest is just a woman, as for the shopkeeper, his exercises are magical, so that he was invincible before, but in the face of my emperor's will, even if he is strong, he can't restrain me." Moreover, we still have so many back-ups, Yan Gongzi, is the courage too small? ”
Yan Xing said: "I hope I am cowardly. ”
……
……
On the eve of the execution.
Akasi and Chenhui are rushing to the fish and dragon gambling house in Kyoto. As early as when Chen Hui was in a coma, Ning Wuxian brought a message to Akasi that if he wanted to save the descendants of the Shen family in Kyoto, he could use the Fish and Dragon Gambling House as a gathering point.
Ye Xiaochao, the owner of the fish and dragon gambling house, is also the number one person in the underworld of the rivers and lakes, and he can open the largest gambling house in Kyoto, and his own connections and financial resources cannot be underestimated.
When Chen Hui came, he saw the gambling house hanging a sign that was closed today.
When I walked into the gambling house, the whole gambling house seemed very empty, and there were only two people.
One is Ye Xiaochao, and the other is white gall.
"Since the farewell of the martial arts conference, shopkeeper Chen, we haven't seen each other for a while." Ye Xiaochao bowed his hand, extremely respectful.
Akasi said: "You are not open on such a special day, if he really saves the Shen family scholar later, the empire will definitely thoroughly investigate all the abnormal places during this period." No matter how big the scale of your fish and dragon gambling house is, if you encounter trouble at the level of the Emperor Star Department, it will only be a good deal. ”
Ye Xiaochao smiled, and it was white gall that spoke. Bai Dan said: "As early as when the big boss came to use this place as the future connection location of the inn, we had already stopped business. ”
Chen Hui was secretly surprised in his heart, that is, more than a month ago, the Fish Dragon Gambling House was no longer open, and according to the one-day profit of the largest gambling house in Kyoto, the Yulong Gambling House lost a lot of silver.
Looking at Chen Hui's expression, Bai Dan said: "We people in the rivers and lakes will repay their kindness." ”
Chen returned his hand as a token of gratitude.
Chen asked Akasi, "If you don't tell my companions that I'm still alive, how will they know that I'm here?" ”
Akasi said: "If you don't tell them that you are still alive, it is because they are all trying to become stronger with the power of grief and anger, and as for the gathering point, I actually left clues, and I think they will think that the rest of the inn left them." The only person I didn't notice was the thief who was no slower than me. ”
Ye Xiaochao said: "But the shopkeeper doesn't need to worry, anyone who comes to Kyoto, I will know that my friends on the road have given me face, in the South Hutong, Brother Feng and his friends have already arrived, and I have also sent someone to inform me." I believe he was the first to arrive. ”
Chen Hui didn't expect that he had done almost nothing, but everything had been arranged.
Looking at Chen Hui's appearance, Bai Dan smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Chen, your chivalrous heart, as early as the last year, friends in the rivers and lakes knew that no matter black or white, there have been many people who have been relieved by the inn, from literati and talented businessmen to prodigal fugitives called Huazi." Those who have attained the Tao are very helpful. But I'm ashamed, we can only help you get here, this time it is the people of the Emperor Star General and the Yan family, the powerful means of the Emperor Star Department, not to mention the ordinary people of the rivers and lakes, there are not many people who dare to provoke the nine major factions. ”
Chen Hui smiled: "It's okay, I'm very grateful to have this heart." Where you are in danger, I will definitely save my husband. ”
As soon as Chen Hui's words fell, there was a burst of laughter in the hall of the gambling house.
"Hahaha, Uncle Ben is really in a hurry these days, they all say that you are dead, Uncle Ben doesn't believe it, fuck, you and I can't die if it rots like that in Tiankeng City, I'm still alive and well, how can you die!"
The wind has arrived.
I haven't seen Fengzhan for a long time, and Chen Hui is extremely happy in his heart. Feng Zhan's eyes were red.
Bai Dan smiled: "Why, the first thief in the world, he still cries when he sees a big man?" ”
As soon as the white bile voice fell, Meng Chai and Qin Luo, who were behind Feng Zhan, laughed, Zhang Xiaofeng had always had a straight face, and he couldn't help laughing at the moment.
Feng Zhan said angrily: "Uncle Ben ran too fast, can't the sand get into his eyes?" ”
Chen Hui said: "It's hard work. ”
Feng Zhan said, "It's too late. ”
The conversation between the two is extremely simple, but at the moment they are heart-to-heart. Chen Hui saw the people behind Feng Zhan, and knew that Feng Zhan couldn't come to the Mutual Aid Inn, because there were other very important things, and he said that he didn't take it to heart, that is, he understood. Feng Zhandao was late, but he was full of remorse.
After seeing Chen Hui, Meng Chai looked at Chen Hui carefully, but he had a judgment in his heart.
After a while, the door of the gambling house opened again.
The person who came was extremely burly, and the treasure knife on his waist was red, like a kitchen knife, even in autumn, he was extremely thin, but he was quite a bit heroic of a northern man. I just came in one moment, and the next I froze.
Ding Qiliang saw Feng Zhan and saw him at a glance, no one in the inn complained about Feng Zhan's disappearance, some were just worried. Therefore, when I saw Feng Zhan Ding Qi, I wanted to make a joke, and my heart finally saw a good thing. But the next moment, he saw the shopkeeper in the crowd.
Ding Qiliang is not smart, but he is not stupid either, and he understood what was going on in an instant.
Bai Dan looked at Tie Han and cried, a little envious, but still said: "Hey, hey, hey, the people from your inn, shouldn't one come in and cry?" We're a gambling house of conscience here, isn't it? ”
Chen Hui said: "It seems that in less than two months, you have become a lot stronger. ”
Chen Hui didn't know how Ding Qiliang lived, but he knew that there was no reason to become stronger in this world, and Ding Qiliang had never been a person who was clever and opportunistic, so he should have experienced quite painful cultivation.
Meng Chai only glanced at it, and knew that this burly man's realm was only in the six-leaf realm, but he didn't understand why the others in the field were so surprised.
In the rivers and lakes, it is natural to be a master who can step into the six leaves. But to face the Emperor Star Department and the Yan Family, such a realm is still too low. It's just that Meng Chai faintly has a feeling that the realm of this burly man may not be high, but the knife is extremely terrifying.
He never thought that he would feel like this for a person in the Six Leaves Realm.
Ding Qiliang said: "If you die, these hardships are only worth half of it, and now that you are alive, what I have experienced will have a complete meaning." ”
"Big stupid cow, I haven't seen you for so long, do you speak so sourly?" Feng Zhan quipped.
Ding Qiliang smiled and said, "Seeing that you are so energetic, I am worried about you in vain." ”
Feng Zhan and Ding Qi looked at each other and smiled, at this moment Feng Zhan suddenly wanted to turn back and say to his subordinates, you go back, Uncle Ben is not leaving. But he didn't in the end. There was a flash of hesitation that no one noticed.
"There should be wine at this moment." White Gall suddenly proposed.
Ye Xiaochao smiled and said, "Naturally." ”
Then Ye Xiaochao found the wine he had treasured for a long time.
The wine seal is opened, and the aroma of the wine is overflowing.
Everyone in the gambling house was full of wine, but when they were about to toast, a beautiful female voice suddenly came.
"Men drink, women watch, shopkeeper, it's not your style."
A seat in red, the person who came was Zhong Yunxiu. Next to Zhong Yunxiu was a slightly shorter person, carrying a small red umbrella and wearing a half-bronze mask, but his appearance was very cute.
Although there was a little playfulness in the conversation, the expression on the second girl's face was not relaxed.
Chen Hui said that he really couldn't let his partners go through such moments in the future, and without waiting for them to speak, he said softly: "I'm sorry to worry you." ”
Zhong Yunxiu turned her head slightly, and saw that everyone in the inn was okay, especially when the shopkeeper and Ding Qiliang were fine, her tears also swirled in her eyes, but Zhong Yunxiu still smiled and said: "Xiao Liuli and I are different from them, we never believed that the shopkeeper brother you are dead." ”
Feng Zhan said angrily: "Uncle Ben...... I don't believe it either. ”
Saying this, Feng Zhan has no confidence.
Chen Hui said: "I still have unfinished business, and there are people I want to protect, so naturally I can't die too early, so I worry you, but at the moment, the inn is still lacking a person." ”
Ye Xiaochao said: "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, this is the way I gamble with the white guts, and everyone who comes to save Mr. Shen is naturally the same." If you want to win, you have to count. Now we have to do a good job of totaling, how to break the game, and what moves the opponent might have. ”
Chen Hui nodded and said, "In the past, these things were done by Mr. Now that he's gone, we can't be underestimated by him. ”
Akasi said: "I can't make a move. ”
Chen Hui nodded and said, "You have helped me a lot." ”
Akasi said, "I've never helped you. I've never been here. ”
The cold invaded, and Akasi's eyebrows and eyes became a little cold, because there were a few more people on this trip, such as white gall, such as the three people behind Fengzhan, Akasi said: "Shopkeeper Chen, I hope you remember the agreement between you and me." ”
When the words fell, Akath vanished.
Zhang Xiaofeng behind Feng Zhan showed a look of surprise, and Feng Zhan said when he saw this: "Don't be surprised, although you are a terrible assassin, the degree of that guy can no longer be described as terrifying, only the strongest word is suitable for him." ”
Meng Chai said: "It turns out that this person is ...... Akasi? ”
Feng Zhan nodded.
Chen looked back at Gong Ruli, stroked Gong Ruri's hair, and said gently: "Xiao Liuli, I'm sorry, let your brother take risks for us." ”
Gong Yu Liuli was unexpectedly sensible, she said: "This time it's no longer my brother who saves me, I can also save my brother." ”
Chen Hui nodded and said, "I will definitely save him." ”
Gong Ruli looked at the people in the inn and said:
"I believe in you."
