Volume 3 Iron and Blood Should Be Still in Chapter 9 Self-Inflicted Cleverness
bypassing the checkpoint, I wanted to rush to Qingluo City in one go, but the sky was not beautiful, and it rained lightly.
The rain in Liangzhou was as thin as a cow's hair, almost foggy, and it was brushed on the ground layer by layer, making everything sticky and hazy, making it impossible to tell whether it was moisture or sweat on the skin. In this ghost weather, don't wear a coat or a hat, and I'm afraid of catching a cold; Armed and stuffy. Perhaps the only good thing about this rain is to keep the poisonous insects hidden.
The grass was slippery, and the two had to walk along the post road. Tu Shi took a deep breath, only to feel that his lungs were accumulating two taels of water vapor, and he was very depressed, thinking that Liangzhou was really an unpleasant place. Suddenly, he saw a shed surrounded by banana trees on the side of the road, with a flag planted on the front of the door and the word "tea" written on it, which seemed to be a tea house.
Why not take shelter from the rain? Tu Shi was thinking about it, speeding up his pace, but his arm was grabbed, and he saw Yan Shan shaking his head: "If I were you, I wouldn't have entered this tea house." β
Tu Shi was puzzled for a moment, walked a few steps faster, looked at the tea house, and saw that there were three players sitting at a table inside, all three players were wearing deerskin gloves and several bulging cloth bags tied around their waists. Karamon! The word popped into Tu Shi's mind. It just so happened that the other party also discovered him at this time, and Qi Qi swept his gaze over him, making his hair stand on end.
Damn, I can't hide from it!
At this time, one of the three Tang Sect disciples stood up, looking to be an adult, and shouted, "Hey! What is your name? β
"Shut up, you can't speak!" Without waiting for Tu Shi to react, another older player hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, friend, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Our senior sister has confessed that we must catch Yu Qingfeng. Hey, 350,000 is not a small amount, who doesn't want it? My brother is anxious to admit the wrong person, I hope you can be considerate and considerate. β
The player who spoke at first refused to admit defeat: "You see him hiding his head and showing his face, why isn't he suspicious?!" I suspect he's Yu Qingfeng! β
"But Yu Qingfeng is alone! Does he have friends in Liangzhou? Yes? Look at it again, it's two people! β
Hearing this, Tu Shi glanced at the concubine beside him, and shouted luck in his heart. Yes, in the eyes of the public, one of the characteristics of Yu Qingfeng is that he runs away alone, and it is impossible to have companions around him! Unexpectedly, the Lady Shan who he regarded as a trouble became his best cover at this time!
As for the senior sister in the other party's mouth...... When it is sweet and sweet. This woman not only mobilized the gang, but also organized the power of the sect? If I go to Qingluo City, I am afraid that I will die for a lifetime.
"Friend, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The older player stood up, with a smile on his face, and waved his hands to the side vigorously, trying to guide Tu Shi in, as if he was the master here: "Come in, please come in, whatever you want to drink and eat, it's mine." β
If you don't go in, will the other party be suspicious?
"Thank you very much."
Tu Shi walked into the tea house and sat down, wondering if his tone was too blunt; And Yan Shan also sat next to him familiarly, smiling, gloating no matter how she looked at it.
A young girl dressed in cloth and without fat powder came up, put two cups on the table, and asked, "What do you want to drink?" β
"Drink tea." Tu Shi said dryly. Of course, he didn't really want to drink tea, and since he was poisoned by Sweet Honey in the tea, he refused to eat and drink that was handled by others. But he had to order something, or he would arouse suspicion.
The rain outside the tea house is ethereal, and every five to ten seconds, a drop of water beats on the wide leaf surface of the plantain leaves, sparsely falling. On the contrary, there was silence in the tea house, and the silence was extremely embarrassing. The three Tang disciples may have scruples about outsiders, they didn't talk, and their eye contact was non-stop; Tu Shi was restless, silently breathing, and his right hand kept pressing on the hilt of the sword at his waist; The young girl who took care of the tea house looked left and right, and seemed to sense that something was wrong, and silently stood by the stove, looking like a little rabbit who was afraid of thunder. Only the lady was not affected by the atmosphere, holding the teacup and sipping tea happily, her eyes dripping and not knowing what to think.
"Friends."
The Tang Sect player suddenly spoke, startling Tu Shi for a while, and pressed the sword on his waist out of its sheath by half an inch.
I saw the older player smile and ask, "Since there is no rain here, why don't you take off the hat?" Don't you feel hot? β
Emotions such as horror and regret instantly filled Tu Shi's chest. He really didn't think of this biggest flaw. It is impossible for any normal person to eat and drink while wearing a hat, unless he doesn't want people to see his face.
At this time, she turned her face away and squinted slightly: "Oh? May I ask if my boyfriend picks up the hat or not, what does it matter to you? β
Great! What a god teammate, the cover is perfect, you are like my girlfriend! Tu Shi was excited.
"Hahaha, our senior sister has given a death order, and all suspicious people must be investigated, and we can't help it. If you are not Yu Qingfeng, you will not lose a piece of meat when you take off your hat, I hope you will cooperate. β
Hearing this, she turned her face back. Tu Shi waited expectantly for the next sentence to save the scene, but heard a sentence: "Oh, Ah Yi can't help it." I said a long time ago that I shouldn't go into this tea house, but my sixth sense is really accurate. β
Tu Shi's eyes darkened - is this different from confession?!
Fortunately, he was not stupid enough to get home, and knew that this battle was inevitable, so he got up slowly, very slowly, very slowly, and took this precious time to sort out what had happened.
When he passed by the tea house, he was obviously suspicious of the other party. But the other party sat in the tea house, standing outside the tea house, he could escape at any time, but the other party could not catch up immediately, the situation was obviously unfavorable to the hunter, so the other party used a delaying tactic. One of them sang with a red face, and the other sang with a white face, first knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger to make themselves vigilant, and then took the initiative to resolve the contradictions, so that they suddenly relaxed their minds and entered the tea house.
There is a trick to ask others: first make a more difficult request, and then make a relatively simple request when the other party refuses, at this time, the other party has a high probability of accepting the simple request out of a sense of guilt or amendance. Tu Shi was invited into the tea house. When he was still secretly rejoicing, he didn't know that the other party was suspicious of him all the time, and all the communication was just to make him sit down obediently.
Now living in a small room, for the children of the Tang Sect, it only takes a few tenths of a second for the hidden weapon to hit the target, and the prey is at a disadvantage. What Tu Shi couldn't bear the most was that this disadvantaged situation was completely of his own making. It was he who took chances, felt that he could hide from the world, and then thought he was smart and walked into the trap of others. With just a few words, his IQ is seriously disconnected, which shows that language is sometimes more powerful than martial arts.

Yangzhou, Chibo City.
The most famous garden in Chiba City is called "Su Garden", but there is no one who is invited into the garden by the owner of the garden, the richest man Su, who does not admire its beauty. It's a pity that everything has changed dramatically now, the delicate trees have become char to the ground, and the craggy and simple rockeries are shattered into a mess. In the midst of the mess, the owner of the garden, Master Su, sat down on the ground, his face was pale, cold sweat broke out, and his mouth trembled. In front of him stood a tall Taoist priest.
The image of a Taoist priest in people's minds is generally bearded, old, and respectable, but this Taoist priest is not ordinary. He is young, dressed in a tie robe, with a jade tree in the wind, and his face is more comparable to that of the beautiful man Pan An in the ancient books: white skin, red cheeks, high nose and thin lips. But there is a narrow scar between his eyebrows like a vertical eye and an apricot kernel (the edges are jagged, as if caused by a burn), which is really broken and makes people put away their closeness. In the whole world, there is only one Taoist priest with this scar, and that is the Baiyunzi Road Arc from the Qingwei faction. Fellow Daoists respect it and call it "the evil Taoist"; The demon is afraid of it and calls him "Little Erlang", but he doesn't regard Lu Arc as the kind of Xiao Er who does chores in the restaurant tea shop, but refers to Lu Arc as Yang Jian, the true monarch of Erlang who is also jealous and hateful, and also has three eyes.
Lu Arc looked at a jade pendant in his hand with a peaceful face.
The jade pendant delicately carves five goats, each with a different expression, or peaceful, impatient, or joyful...... In fact, there are five emotions, which correspond to the five organs. It is not a mortal thing, even if the jade is restrained, its aura is clearly visible, and it can be found dozens of miles away for characters like Lu Arc.
It is a relic left by Lu Arc's best friend, Wang Vietnam.
Tie the jade pendant around his waist and put it in one place with the stick that he never left his body, Lu Arc asked the two trembling Master Su: "Where did you get this 'Wuyang Snow Ointment'?" β
In the eyes of Master Su, that peaceful face was clouded at any time, and he hurriedly said: "Immortal Chief, this is what I found from the Jin Family Chamber of Commerce!" If the immortal chief likes it, take it as my little filial piety, filial piety! β
"Filial piety, heh. I won't do anything to you. Lu Arc shook his head and smiled.
Master Su looked around and wanted to cry without tears. Half of the family is ruined, this is what the fairy chief said, "What will happen"?
Lu Arc's heart mirror was clear, and he knew what Master Su meant: "It's because you refuse to cooperate, and you want to blame me with a cane, so I used this method, how innocent are you?" If I master the Return of Wind and Fire, I may be able to help you repair this place; If I know how to turn stones into gold, why not compensate you with money? β
Open the door of the toilet and find a stranger guarding outside looking for you to wear a jade pendant, will you still cooperate with him?! My reaction is called normal! Old Man Su cried with a sad face: "No, no, no, how dare I ask the immortal chief for compensation?" It's a small one that doesn't have long eyes, and it offends the fairy chief! β
"You don't dare to say it, but you still resent it in your heart, if you don't end this cause and effect between you and me, you will be haunted by it for the rest of your life, and I will also be dusty - haha, how can this passage have Nanzi's style?"
Lu Arc's eyes darkened, so frightened that Master Su almost didn't jump. This immortal chief turned his face faster than he turned a book, and at first he politely begged for a jade pendant, but as soon as he was refused, his face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, and he waved his hand to attract thunder. The thunder was loud! If it weren't for the fact that he had just finished going to the toilet, I was afraid that Mr. Su's pants would be wet now.
Fortunately, Lu Arc still smiled. He took out a small wooden cup from his sleeve, pointed to the sky with his other hand, and suddenly a dark cloud appeared, hanging three feet above his head, blocking the sun. I don't know how he moved, the cup was filled with a pool of silver liquid, there was a faint fragrance, and the smell made people feel cool: "You are blessed, I still have the last bit of 'heart' left in my hand." Because you are a mortal, you can't stand the strength of alcohol, and when you wake up, you will forget all the things of today, but you can increase your life expectancy by two or three years. β
"No, I don't drinkβ"
was pinched by Lu Arc and poured his drink, and Master Su's body shook violently. An unimaginable sweetness filled his mouth, and just as he was savoring it, his chest ached, and all sorts of sweets and soursβfeelings rather than tastesβcame flooding him up, and he lost consciousness.
Helping Master Su to lie down (by the way, he wiped the nose oil on his fingers with other people's clothes), Lu Arc pointed to his feet, and a ball of white clouds leisurely lifted him and flew into the distance.
