Chapter 332
Therefore, he also strongly asked to come together, Li Xunlian originally wanted him to recuperate at Shenjian Peak, but he couldn't resist Xu Lin, so he could only agree to go with him.
In this way, it is three people walking together, and the big shopkeeper is taking Li Xunlian and Xu Lin, this lineup is also quite scary.
On the barbarian master's side, he had already made all the preparations and waited for Li Xunlian to come back, but he never thought that Wei Jiyuan would come.
The intention of his coming was to let the barbarian master break his promise and directly launch an encirclement and suppression after the arrival of the big shopkeeper.
The barbarian lord naturally refused, and it was about his honor.
What he didn't expect was that Wei Jiyuan didn't say anything, but agreed!
This is too unexpected, he also has some understanding of what kind of person Wei Jiyuan is, and it is impossible for Wei Jiyuan to give up easily what he wants to do.
Therefore, the barbarian master also knows that this person will not give up, and will definitely do some tricks secretly, but as for what tricks it is, he does not know.
In fact, the barbarian master guessed Wei Jiyuan very thoroughly, he was indeed playing a trick, he visited the high-level of the barbarian clan door by door, and explained to everyone the powerful relationship after the arrival of the big shopkeeper, if he could kill the big shopkeeper, what kind of benefits would it bring to their alliance.
Among them, there is a person who belongs to the position of the barbarian in the Qingxiao Kingdom, and he is bent on replacing the barbarian master, so he listened to Wei Jiyuan's words, thinking that as long as he can lead the clansmen to encircle and suppress after the arrival of the big treasurer, his prestige will rise in a straight line, and even replace the position of the barbarian lord in one fell swoop.
Of course, it is easy to say, but Wei Jiyuan's words of wooing are shocking and irresistible.
Many of the details are also easy to make people want to move.
After listening to Wei Jiyuan's words, he immediately began to arrange, everything was in order within three days, and at the same time, he kept the barbarian master in the dark, and everything was ready, just waiting for the big treasurer to arrive......
How to choose, this is a big stone pressing on the heart of the innkeeper, make the right decision, even if he dies, he will die with a smile.
On the contrary, if he is not thoughtful, I am afraid that even if he lives, he will have to carry the anxiety and remorse in his heart, and fall into the boundless decadence and blame that he has experienced before.
What should be done, the post shopkeeper is not sure. To tell the truth, at this moment, he is no longer the Xuan Xiu who has walked the rivers and lakes for decades and has rich experience and is not shocked, but a hard-working person who is oppressed by fate and is in a dilemma.
But so what, who will sympathize, who will stretch out their hands to pull, under fate, don't say it's him, even the top people in the world, I'm afraid they have to bow their heads and be at the mercy.
And now he can't think so much. Because right now, the Death Knife is already waiting a little impatiently.
Or follow the will of this wicked man and torture and kill the mouthy eater. Either he will go against the meaning of the fatal knife, fulfill the tiger's intentions, give him a chance to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and let him be a hero.
"How to choose, how to choose!"
There were huge waves in the heart of the innkeeper, and his footsteps moved a little more to the mouthy diner, in fact, this can already prove his subconscious thoughts, he wants the tiger to live, and he does not hesitate to kill innocent people in exchange for the tiger's life, and the reason why he has not done so is because the pressure from the fatal knife is not great enough.
But immediately, the Death Knife gave enough pressure.
I saw him sneer, as if he had seen through the mind of the post shopkeeper, and first shook the nine-ring big knife a few times, making the iron rings worn on the knife collide with each other and jingle, and then he smiled and said, "How about it, do you want me to help you." Huh?
Mockery, at the moment, is useless for the post shopkeeper, and not to mention ridicule, it is to directly scold the eighteenth generation of the ancestor to a bloody dog, and he will not make an impulsive decision because of these.
The only thing that can affect him is still the tiger.
Therefore, the fatal knife began to "increase" again, and the collision sound of the nine-ring big knife and knife ring was like a magic sound urging the post store to do it, and under the performance of this magic sound, the wound on the tiger's neck was deepened a little.
The shopkeeper of the post station looked at it with a broken eye, if he could make a move now, he would definitely not hesitate to slap the fatal knife into pulp, even so, it was difficult to dispel the monstrous anger in his heart, and the supreme hatred!
But, he can't.
This is the crux of the matter, he can only watch the tiger being pushed to the brink of death little by little, and if he wants to save the tiger, he must be in the company of this wicked man and become a killing tool for the killing knife!
Moreover, the shopkeeper of the post station is very clear, and in terms of the viciousness of the fatal knife, it is absolutely not enough to help him kill someone.
Now the guys who are standing opposite the door of the post station are the accomplices of the Death Knife, but when the Death Knife is controlled by others, they have become a lively crowd of onlookers, even at this moment, they are not aware of their danger, they are still whispering to each other, it seems that they are discussing the matter between the Death Knife and the post shopkeeper, there is no show at all, the Death Knife has sneered several times and cast a strange look at them.
That gaze is the rune of life, which is equivalent to pronouncing their death sentence!
Of course, for these guys, the post shopkeeper disdains to take them into account, they are dead or alive, and they have nothing to do with him. And if the fatal knife was for him to kill these people, the shopkeeper of the post station would probably not hesitate at all, and he would have to do it directly.
But the problem is that the fatal knife wants him to kill an innocent diner, and although the man is a little more talkative, he is not inherently bad.
This official road from south to north, there is only one post station for him in a hundred miles, the mouthy diners often walk this route, every time they will come here to settle down, the so-called one time to be born and two times cooked, the post station shopkeeper has a certain understanding of this person.
He reverted to his surname Sima, and his double name was Decisive Victory. Sima Zhengtie, this name sounds very powerful, but in fact, he is an ordinary foot merchant, and he is a very typical foot merchant.
His situation is the same as that of those thieves who cried and begged for mercy after being captured by the government.
There is a high hall old mother bedridden, there are three or four children, the big one can run, the small one is still in the mother's arms waiting to be fed, he went out to walk, a smooth trip also has to go up for half a month, but the money earned is very limited, even if it is not spent, take it home is barely enough to buy medicine for the old mother.
It can be seen that he is still a filial son, at least he let his old mother go alone in this era of human degradation.
Of course, even in the peaceful and prosperous era, there are many unfilial people who do not support their sick mothers, and even beat their fathers and scold their mothers. Such people usually don't end well.
The so-called crow feeds the lamb and kneels to the milk, if the person is not filial, the beast is not as good!
However, he is very filial, why does it still not end well?
Do you have to kill him today in order to let the tiger live, if this is the case, the innkeeper is afraid that he will fall into torment for the rest of his life, and it will be difficult to forgive himself forever!
Call!
Taking a deep breath, the innkeeper had already made a decision.
He can't let his conscience be eroded, he can't kill this businessman, but he and the tiger are like father and son, and naturally he can't watch the tiger walk up to the Yellow Spring alone.
So be it, after killing the tiger with the fatal knife, he will take revenge for the tiger, and then, lead the neck to kill himself, go down to be the companion of the tiger, so that he will not be so lonely on the Huangquan Road!
The mind was settled, and the chaotic eyes of the post shopkeeper flashed with fine light.
In the current situation, there is only one difficulty for him, and that is to make a decision. Now that the decision has been made, it's just a matter of going with the flow.
The Killing Knife is not a smart person, but he is definitely not stupid, and through the changes in the eyes of the post shopkeeper, he can directly guess what the other party thinks.
So, he secretly said in his heart that it was bad!
"Tiger, are you really not afraid of death?" At this time, the shopkeeper of the inn had already begun to say his final goodbye to the tiger, in fact, it was not accurate to say goodbye, because immediately, after the tiger's death, he would not need two breaths, and he would go down to accompany the tiger.
Two breaths, this is definitely not an exaggeration.
As long as the tiger is mutilated, he is fully sure that he will kill the life-killing knife within one breath, and then use another breath to kill himself, the two breaths are very short, presumably the tiger will not go far on the Huangquan Road, he will strive to catch up, and then pass side by side with it.
"I'm not afraid!" the tiger looked fixed, and even showed a smile of satisfaction.
He's been waiting for this to be the result. Because he didn't want to see the carnage innkeeper fall into boundless inner torment, and he couldn't push other innocent people to death for the sake of his own life.
He dreamed of becoming a hero since he was a child, and he didn't dare to say that he could help the weak with the hoe, at least he could stand up at the critical moment and sacrifice his life for righteousness.
Right now, this is his chance to finally come, so he doesn't regret it at all, and he is not afraid, the only regret is that he couldn't find the little brother Xuan Xiu who he had met in Ancient Wolf Town in the past.
came out of the Divine Sword Peak, just to find him, and I heard the people in the Divine Sword Peak say that the little brother named Li Xunlian had already gone to Dragon Bone City.
So he came here with the shopkeeper of the post station and opened the post house to wait for Li Xunlian, because this is the only place to enter the city.
But their ideas have taken the wrong route, Li Xunlian's affairs, every ordinary thing, the road he takes, will not be an ordinary road.
Dragon Bone City is the hinterland of the Southland, Cheng Wang's lair, and Cheng Wang is one of Li Xunlian's rivals. When he came here, how could he swagger through the official road of the main road.
Naturally, I can't wait for Li Xunlian here.
But it doesn't matter, the role of Tiger and Qingqing Li himself, he is a passerby who meets by chance in people's lives, and it is already a great intersection to be able to arrange himself to Shenjian Peak, although he admires and yearns for Li Xunlian's life, but he also knows that people are different, some people are born to make this world turbulent, and some people, that is, their own kind of people, no matter how hard and yearning, will eventually die in the ordinary.
Fortunately, today gave him an extraordinary opportunity to sacrifice his life for righteousness, for the chivalry in his heart, to pay tribute!
An old and a young, the post shopkeeper and the tiger glanced at each other, and they all saw relief and comfort in each other's eyes, the same as father and son, the same as father and son, the so-called father and son heart, at this moment, they experienced this feeling extremely profoundly.
"Shopkeeper, let me be your own son in the next life, the trotting hall is really boring, I want to be a little master!" Tiger laughed casually.
"Okay, in the next life, I will not only be your father, but also make you a Xuan Xiu, a chivalrous and righteous man, and fulfill your unfulfilled dream in this life!"
This scene made everyone moved, and the mouth-to-mouth diner even cried bitterly because of guilt for the sentence he shouldn't have said, if he didn't say that, the innkeeper might not be forced to do this, if he didn't say that more, maybe, the tiger didn't have to die for himself......
Of course, there are two kinds of emotion, and the fatal knife is also moving, but his emotion is because he knows that once the tiger dies, he himself will not escape the doom.
"Slow, kill them!" The life-killing knife hurriedly swept his eyes to the brothers next to him who were still following him yesterday, and said eagerly: "As long as you kill them, I will let this child go!"
The turning point actually appeared here, Zhang Hui, as a bystander, was also the only one in the audience
What kind of psychology Zhang Hui is, Li Xunlian is no longer willing to speculate, there are too many people in this world, there will always be so many scum with distorted psychology, they are different from normal people, and normal people can't scrutinize their psychology through normal thinking.
Let's say that Zhang Hui looked at it from the side and smiled, but the atmosphere in the field was not relaxed.
The fatal knife turned the conversation around, and even asked the post store keeper to kill the few comrades who were still with him yesterday, this change made the post station shopkeeper's mind shake a little.
Originally, he was mentally prepared for the "father and son" to set foot on Huangquan together, because he really couldn't make a move against an innocent businessman.
But those guys are different, in any way, although they are not innocent of death, but at least it is not a good thing to live.
This is by no means a self-deceptive thought that arises because the innkeeper wants to live, but a real fact.
Those people, whether they were followed by the fatal knife or not, they were undoubtedly bandits. The bandits seek money and kill people, although they are not very capable, but the murder they have created is not small, and the people who died in their hands are some ordinary businessmen, from this level, at the very least, they are unkind.
Of course, unkindness is the bottom limit, and their upper limit is close to heinousness. To describe them as unkind is just to summarize their virtues in this regard.
And then there is the injustice.
Bandits who kill people are hateful, but they are hateful, and if they can be righteous, they can also be admired in some aspects.
