Chapter 44: The Bandit Leader

"Shopkeeper, sit." Yi Xiao glanced at the stool in front of him. casually picked up the teacup on the table and poured a cup of tea for himself and Xuanyu. looked at the shopkeeper with a smile.

The shopkeeper's scalp was numb when Yi Xiao saw it...... Mu sat down on the stool indicated by Yi Xiao in a daze.

After a long time, Yi Xiao said slowly: "I have something I want to ask the shopkeeper, if I answer well, the previous grievances will be written off, if I don't answer well or hide something, then ......" Yi Xiao said and skimmed the shopkeeper's neck.

Frightened, the shopkeeper swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, what does the landlord want to know, just ask, the little one must know everything, and the words are endless......"

Yi Xiao's tone was always light, and the words behind him were also laughed, while Xuanyu, who was sitting on the side, was always silent. But it made the shopkeeper feel like he was going to lose his life......

He carefully adjusted his fat body to sit down, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead while smiling awkwardly.

"About a few days ago, there was a team escorting Yulou's silver taels and grain to Yushan, and they also stayed at your inn, do you have an impression?" Yi Xiao took a sip of tea gently, and his every move was not so elegant or extravagant. The same is true of the Xuanyu around him. The two of them really seemed to be like immortals descending to earth, and they didn't say anything, which made people feel the nobility of the king.

"This ......" shopkeeper's heart was about to jump out of his throat at this moment, and he carefully observed the expressions of Yi Xiao and Xuanyu...... I don't know if I should say it...... But when I saw Yi Xiao's playful face, he looked at him with murderous eyes...... I thought about the feeling of the cold dagger against my throat over there...... Gritted his teeth and said: "A few days ago, there was indeed such a group of people who came to live in the inn, I think they are all dressed not simply, they must be rich and noble." There were silver taels transported, and they moved their minds. At that time, I went to rob at night, but I couldn't beat them because they were all strong in martial arts...... I also know that this group of people is hard stubble and can't be touched. I didn't want to continue to use the money, but I heard that it was robbed at the intersection of Yushan Mountain the next day......"

"Then they were robbed at the exit of the Jade Mountain, how do you know? Isn't it ......" Yi Xiao looked at the shopkeeper in front of him with a smile in her beautiful eyes, and her thin lips opened slightly.

The villain did have this thought, and it was indeed a small one who told the bandit leader the news that night, but was rejected by the bandit leader. It means that there are already people who have paid a high price for the lives of those people. And those people are already dead, and the silver taels are naturally in the hands of the bandits. The shopkeeper was afraid that his life would be gone, so he told everything he knew. Although he didn't know why the owner of the Yulou Mansion cared so much about this batch of silver taels, his own life was more important, and he didn't want to lose his life for it......

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Yi Xiao and Xuanyu did not speak. And just continue to sip the tea in your hand.

The shopkeeper thought that the person in front of him felt that he was not telling the truth, and hurriedly said, "The landlord ...... What I said is true, and I don't dare to deceive you for the sake of my life! ”

"Hahaha, I know." Yi Xiao glanced at the shopkeeper, and said coldly: "Go on, tell me about the situation of the bandits." Don't make any mistakes or mistakes, or I'll find out ......," he said, and reached out and touched his neck, and made another throat-slitting motion. And Xuanyu, who had been silent on the side, clearly saw the shopkeeper's shoulders and legs trembling, and his eyes were full of fear.

Xuanyu was thinking at this time, did this shopkeeper have any grievances with his little girl, and he must have offended the little girl before...... But his little girl's deterrent power is really not covered, not his princess.

"The little one must be serious!" The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and said: "That's the case, robbing this batch of silver and this batch of thieves is the largest thief den in Yushan, and all of them are strong in martial arts. And this group of thieves only appeared suddenly a year ago, and no one knows where they came from, and they almost controlled Yushan in just one year. However, I heard that the leader seemed to have been one of the elders of the assassination, but he didn't know how to leave the assassination, came to Yushan to establish a village, and lived by robbing past merchants. That's all I know. ”

"Hmm." Yi Xiao already knew who it was in his heart, but he didn't expect to meet again so soon. Yi Xiao was smiling all the time, and his eyes revealed Jiaojie. However, these fell in the eyes of the shopkeeper, and every action made him feel frightened...... Cold sweat kept breaking out on his head, and his palms were full of sweat at this time.

Yi Xiao said in a pleasant voice: "Go out." But don't try to escape, and don't think about anything, or you'll ......."

Hearing Yi Xiao's words, the shopkeeper said "Yes, yes, yes!" as if he had been redeemed! The villain retired. The moment he opened the door, Xiao Bai and Yun Zhe, who were standing at the door, looked at him with frozen eyes, full of threat and murderous aura, and he almost knelt down with weak legs...... After wiping his sweat, he quickly held on to the handrail and went downstairs.

"Master." Xiao Bai and Yun Zhe walked in together, and they both saluted the two people who were seated. I saw Yi Xiao sitting and drinking tea, one hand kept clasping the table, and there were emotions in his eyes that he couldn't read, so Xiao Bai took the lead in asking: "Master, is something happening?"

Every time the master knocks on the table only when something big happens, so Xiao Bai guesses that there must be something big.

"The leader of the bandits is Xiao Zong." Yi Xiao glanced up at Xiao Bai, and there was anxiety, worry, disgust and hatred in her beautiful eyes. Xuanyu and Yun Zhe, who didn't know much about the situation, didn't have any expressions. But Xiao Bai took a deep breath.

Xiao Zong...... Four years ago, he was picked up from the beggar's pile by his master. Later, he has been one of the veteran secret guards of assassination like him, and his martial arts are almost exactly the same as his own, and they are all taught by Yi Xiao himself. Yi Xiao's trust in Xiao Zong is the same as his own. However, since his favorite woman, Xiao Meng, was chopped off by Yi Xiao in public and thrown into the lake to taste crocodiles, he left the assassination. He was a good brother from birth to death in those years.

But at that time, Xiao Meng was completely innocent.

It's just that he did feel a little surprised and incredulous, he didn't expect that Xiao Zong would appear in front of his master with a new attitude and identity after a year...... Xiao Zong was the only one who betrayed the assassination, but the master did not take his life.

"Master, what is the Xiao Sect going to do? Revenge? Calming the shock in his mind, he sighed deeply and asked Yi Xiao cautiously.

"Now Xiao Zong is the leader of the Yushan bandits, but I don't know what he is going to do." Yi Xiao's brows were furrowed, her slender hand was drawing something on the table, and there was a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth.

Xuanyu's hand clenched tightly on the table, warm. It made Yi Xiao's anxious and depressed heart settle down a lot at once.
