Chapter 13: Frustration (13)
With a whoosh, a figure appeared and jumped from the statue of the golden crow to the altar with a big grin, and overturned the neatly arranged tribute with one foot. The crowd was in an uproar. Qi Bei subconsciously, the pores all over his body immediately tightened, and he didn't want to hide behind a tall man in front of him, so he only dared to show half of his head.
The fear of being chased and slashed by this man with a big knife is not so easy to forget.
It turned out that the swordsman with high martial arts mentioned in the mouths of everyone was actually a wolf among the wolves in the Aize Desert, and he was the sworn enemy of Qibei. The first time we met, I wielded a big knife and slashed around, and it was very savage and ferocious.
Desert Wolf, a mercenary organization in Nishizawa alongside Stone Vulture and Desert Fox, from murder to robbery to escorting goods, as long as you can afford to live in a high-priced silver tael, you can take on any task, and your ruthless shots are famous.
Now that the desert wolf has also entered the city of Fenglin, that hateful wolf has not changed his usual fighting and killing, at this time, he must not be seen.
Since there are few wolves here, does it mean that the desert wolves, especially the wolf leader Jia Yang, are all here? Thinking back to Jia Yang's knife-carved face, the wind and sand sharpened all expressions, leaving only a faint bloody body, Qi Bei's scalp was numb.
Didn't Xize's desert wolves claim that they had come to Fenglin City to deliver daily necessities to the second prince? How did they get into a gang with Xuantong monks? Wolf Shao was actually hired to assassinate Lady Bailing? But-Qi Bei couldn't figure it out anyway—didn't Lady Bailing recognize Jiayang? Yesterday outside the city gate, the desert wolves couldn't enter the city, but it was Lady Bailing who took the hand, so the desert wolves didn't have to stay in the outer fort for the night.
Ungrateful fellow! Qi Beike was angry: I want to tell Mrs. Bailing to go immediately! She treated the desert wolf with kindness, and she was rewarded like this? It was too much.
He cautiously looked left and right, thinking that he could find the figure of the desert wolf leader, but only the wolf rarely appeared from beginning to end.
“...... There is already news, tonight we must get rid of the culprit who led the hundred dragons into the city!
"Get rid of!" shouted in unison.
The women all gathered around the wolf, and had already prepared a sumptuous meal for him: "Little brother, this trip is hard, eat more to replenish your body, and use the big knife to have strength." ”
The wolf sat triumphantly on the altar with his legs crossed, with the big knife on his back, and grabbed a chicken leg and gnawed on his face: "Don't worry, leave it to me." and any other wine and meat, bring them all. Then he snorted in a low voice, "Brother, that iron rooster can't pull out his hair, but he still eats and drinks well here, and earns silver." ”
Qi Bei quickly pondered in his heart, I must not let the wolf Shao kill Lady Bailing, so what can I do? There must be a misunderstanding in this, she is clearly completely unaware of it, and is regarded as a sinner who led Baiyu into the city. The prophecy of the destruction of the city has been lingering for thousands of years, and it is not easy to dispel it. No, no, we must quickly clarify that the murderer is someone else, not Mrs. Bailing.
So, in the current situation, do you really want to stand up and avenge Mrs. Bailing? The wolf knows himself, what if he is targeted by him first and slashes with a big knife?
Qi Bei, who was in the midst of suffering, clenched his fists and encouraged himself: You can't retreat, don't you say that you are not afraid to give up this life? Then stand up bravely and explain to everyone that the legends of the chaos in Fenglin City have nothing to do with Mrs. Bailing, she is an outsider, a short-lived passerby. If you really stand up and clarify, the wolf can't kill me in front of so many people, right?
Thinking of this, he bravely stood up among the believers who fell to their knees.
"Wait—are you mistaken?"
Hearing the familiar voice, the wolf raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of excitement.
The eldest lady hurriedly pulled Qi Bei to kneel: "Silly boy, what do you say, kneel down." ”
Qi Bei shook off the eldest mother: "You all said that the person who led Baiyu into the city, who is it?"
Xuantong Jushi greeted Qi Bei: "Young man, come and talk." ”
Qi Bei had no choice but to step forward. The wolf boy picked up an apple and took a bite of it.
"What did you just ask, boy?"
Qi Bei shrunk his neck, since he was standing in front of everyone, he was not afraid to ask the question twice: "I mean, the person you want to kill is-"
The wolf boy laughed: "Just Mrs. Bailing of Jun'an City." ”
Just these four words are enough to make Qi Bei lose his strength.
"Ah, it's ......really her," he mustered up his spirits, and quickly explained, "but why her? Are you sure, is it really her? She is not from Jun'an City, so what does it have to do with following the wind in the city? Layman, could you be mistaken?"
Xuantong Jushi pointed at the wolf young man who greeted Qibei with a smile: "You ask the swordsman boy." He saw it with his own eyes. ”
The wolf boy answered: "Yesterday afternoon." Didn't Lady Bailing bring the boxes pulled by the Desert Wolves into the city?"
Qi Bei was dizzy. Engage in a long time is a wolf less to fight a rake!
"You!" he was furious, "the desert wolf couldn't enter the city yesterday afternoon, didn't you try your best to get in? Madame Bailing did it out of kindness to help! Because I know your leaders, I have a good heart, and I have brought you ungrateful fellows into the city. You don't say thank you, but you insist that it's all on her?"
The wolf boy began to sharpen the blade with a whetstone, and said with a beating on his mouth: "The desert wolf thanked him yesterday." Didn't my brother say 'thank you' to her?"
"But you slandered her and killed her. ”
"The disaster of Baiyu entering the city was indeed introduced by her, and I am not wrong. The wolf looked innocent.
Qi Bei really wanted to smash him in the face with a punch, but he couldn't, the wolf Shao was strong in martial arts, and he was mighty with a big sword, and he couldn't beat him by force no matter what: "You wicked person is too hateful." Shouldn't she just hang you out of the city and not come in? She just looked at you pitiful and helped you. You're good, you're repaying virtue with resentment. ”
The wolf boy picked his ears, very scoundrel: "No way, the people of Fenglin City came to beg me, and they gave a lot of silver, can I refuse?"
"You, you're a poor man with an eye for money. ”
The wolf laughed: "I just saw the money and opened my eyes, what do you want?"
Qi Bei looked around at the other believers, and none of them took their defense of Lady Bailing seriously, was the big guy determined to kill an innocent woman?
"Where are the other desert wolves? I don't see your leader. ”
