Chapter 14: Life and death are in an instant
The reputation of the East Factory is even more unbearable than that of Jinyiwei. Even the most fierce Jianghu people are unwilling to be enemies of Dongchang, unless they are forced to a dead end.
The East Factory's Jianbi is famous.
With the information channel of gold and jade, it is impossible not to know the style of doing things in the East Factory. Once Cao Shaoqin arrived at the Dragon Gate Inn, Jin Zhuyu and his men would definitely die.
However, Zhou Huai'an did not see anxiety and fear in the eyes of Jin Jiyu. This shows that she must have a way to deal with it.
If you want to leave the Dragon Gate Inn alive, you may have to find a way on the body of the gold inlaid jade.
Zhou Huai'an had to talk to Jin Zhuyu and get her help.
Cleaned the table of gauze with blood stains.
Zhou Huai'an got up and walked outside the house.
Qiu Moyan said: "Be cautious. The three eagle dogs in the East Factory must be monitoring our every move. ”
Zhou Huai'an said with a smile: "Don't be so careful. I went to the proprietress openly, and even if they knew, what could I do? ”
Qiu Moyan was stunned for a moment, and then understood Zhou Huai'an's plan.
………………
Qin Zhiyong was a little tired and lay down to sleep.
Peeping at Zhou Huai'an and Jia Ting's duel against them was very draining. As soon as the mind is consumed, you will definitely feel tired, and you must rely on sleep to restore your mental and physical strength.
Sleeping is the most important part of self-cultivation, and its importance can even be compared to eating.
Qin Zhiyong believes that Jia Ting, Cao Tian, and Lu Xiaochuan will not come to kill themselves for no reason. Qiu Moyan and Zhou Huai'an will not attack themselves. Unless he was killed by the indiscriminate arrows of the Dongchang people, there would be no danger for the time being. So, he slept peacefully.
Just when Qin Zhiyong was asleep, Zhou Huai'an generously visited the proprietress Jin Jiyu.
Jin Zhuyu smiled and said, "Yo, why is Zhou Daxia interested in coming to my room?" That beauty of yours is injured and can't serve you, so you have the idea of the old lady? You Zhou Daxia is strong in martial arts, chivalrous, and another talent. It's a man. If you really want to spend a night with me, I won't accept your money, but you will be satisfied. Haha......"
The words of gold and jade are coquettish and explicit, even the old bustard in the green building may not be able to say such things.
Zhou Huai'an is in the court, in the rivers and lakes, and the characters he has seen are similar to gold and jade, and I don't know how many they are. However, gold inlaid jade is indeed the best in this category.
Zhou Huai'an said: "The road to the south was blocked by the East Factory. With the style of doing things in the East Factory, as soon as the governor Cao Shaoqin arrived, the people in the inn couldn't live. ”
Jin Zhuyu said with a smile: "So, Zhou Daxia came to me blatantly and unabashedly to find me Jin Zhuyu, so that the three people in Dongchang misunderstood and thought that we were colluding?" ”
"We're in the same boat now." Zhou Huai'an said, "If you want to survive, you must cooperate sincerely. ”
Jin Zhuyu laughed: "Zhou Daxia, you have a request for me, right?" ”
Zhou Huai'an nodded: "Yes." ”
Jin Zhuyu's face was straight, and he said softly: "I, Jin Zhuyu, have been running the Dragon Gate Inn for several years. Yes, there are secret passages in the inn. What benefits can I get by helping you? You know, I'm a businessman. I won't do anything good. ”
There is certainly no shortage of silver, gold and jade.
Zhou Huai'an asked, "What do you want, just say it." As long as I can do it, I will not refuse. ”
Jin Zhuyu nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll say it directly." I don't know if I can escape by relying on the secret passage, but after all, it is a ray of hope. Zhou Daxia, your martial arts are strong, and the three of you in the East Factory can't beat you. At the moment of crisis, I hope you can save Qin Zhiyong's life. If the destiny is irreversible, everyone will die in the hands of Dongchang, and I will also want Qin Zhiyong to die last. ”
Zhou Huai'an didn't expect Jin Jiaoyu to make such a request.
Qin Zhiyong is so important in the heart of Jin Jiyu, more than his own life?
"Who is Qin Zhiyong?" Zhou Huai'an asked curiously.
Jin Zhuyu waved his hand and said, "Don't care who he is." Do you do this deal, or don't you do it? ”
Zhou Huai'an nodded and said, "Do it." As long as I, Zhou Huai'an, don't die, I will definitely save Qin Zhiyong's life. When will we be able to leave? ”
Jin Zhuyu said: "The three masters of the East Factory are staring at us, and it is not easy to leave. We have to find the right moment. ”
"Then I'll take my leave." Zhou Huai'an walked out of the room.
Jin inlaid jade sat on the chair, sighing in his heart, the days of opening a black shop, the old lady is tired of it, leaving the desert and returning to Daming to live a peaceful life is not bad. Qin Zhiyong let the old lady know that there are many villains in the world, but there are still good people and righteousness.
The appearance of Qin Zhiyong made Jin Jiyu's heart no longer so extreme and hopeful.
…………
Cao Tian said to Jia Ting: "Zhou Huai'an went to the innkeeper's room. I don't know what they talked about. This coquettish proprietress must be Zhou Huai'an's accomplice, and they are all rebellious. ”
Lu Xiaochuan's face was gloomy, and the flying needles quickly rotated between his fingers, showing that his hand was more flexible than ordinary people. He sneered: "Otherwise, why do you think Zhou Huai'an arranged the location of the joint at the Dragon Gate Inn?" I've long seen that proprietress as unpleasant. colluded with Zhou Huai'an, and it was not a pity to die. ”
Jia Ting remained calm: "We respond to all changes with the same. Staring at Zhou Huai'an is. Others, ignore it. As soon as the Governor arrives, our mission will be completed. By the way, after dawn, I have to go to Qin Zhiyong again. ”
Cao Tian said: "You haven't given up recruiting Qin Zhiyong's kid yet." He's the coquettish lady of the house. ”
Jia Ting sighed: "Qin Zhiyong is a scholar and a talent after all. He is a little different from other readers. It's a pity to die. If Qin Zhiyong does not eat the ancients and does not take refuge in our Dongchang, it will be self-defeating, and no one can save him. ”
………………
Zhou Huaian returned to Qiu Moyan's room.
Qiu Moyan asked, "What did she say?" ”
"There are secret passages." Zhou Huai'an said, "However, he made a seemingly strange request, if there is a crisis, let me protect Qin Zhiyong." ”
Qiu Moyan breathed a sigh of relief, it would be good to have a secret passage. It shows that there is still hope for escape.
It's nice to find a little hope in despair.
Qiu Moyan said: "It's not strange. I don't know why, even if it's me, I don't want Qin Zhiyong to die. Aren't you the same, desperately trying to protect Lord Yang Yuxuan's children? ”
Zhou Huai'an nodded and said, "That's what I said." In life, you have to do something and not do something. ”
………………
Early morning.
As soon as Qin Zhiyong got up, he heard a knock on the door. When I opened the door, it was Jarting.
"The seniors came to look for the kid so early, I don't know what's the matter?" Qin Zhiyong asked with a smile.
Jia Ting said straight to the point: "Brother Qin, I proposed earlier that you join Dongchang. How did you think about it? ”
Qin Zhiyong said: "Didn't I say, leave the desert and return to the Ming Dynasty?" Why are the seniors so anxious to let the kid make a decision? ”
Jia Ting sneered: "It's better for Little Brother Qin to make a decision early. To tell you the truth, if you don't join our East Factory, you can't return to Daming alive. My words are not threats, but facts. Think for yourself. If you think about it, you can come to me anytime. ”
With that, Jarting turned around and left.
Qin Zhiyong hesitated.
If you join the East Factory, you will be able to survive. This temptation is too great. Ordinary people can't refuse at all.
If you don't join the East Factory, you may die. But joining the East Factory, for Qin Zhiyong, it may be better to live than to die.
Qin Zhiyong's heart, deep down, didn't want to have anything to do with Dongchang.
On the one hand, there is the temptation to survive, and on the other hand, there is the desire of the heart.
It's hard to choose.
Qin Zhiyong was silent for a long time, and made up his mind not to join the East Factory!
If you can survive, you will face many choices like this in the future. This time, I didn't hold on to my heart and compromised, and when I encounter similar choices in the future, I am afraid that I will continue to compromise and lower my bottom line.
That kind of self-cultivation and self-cultivation will do all kinds of harm but not any benefit.
Sincerity.
It's easy to say, but it's too hard to do.
made a choice, and Qin Zhiyong's mentality changed again.
His mental quality has improved slightly.
Cultivation is to wrestle with one's own desires again and again, accumulate again and again, step by step, and finally change from quantity to quality. When the time comes, there will be a qualitative breakthrough in mind and body.
Qin Zhiyong's martial arts are low, he has no internal strength, and he can only use a set of Taizu long fists, but he seems to have found the true meaning of cultivation.
This is the most valuable.
………………
It's time for breakfast. Zhou Huai'an, Qiu Moyan, Jia Ting, Cao Tian, and Lu Xiaochuan all came to the living room.
Qin Zhiyong served breakfast for them.
The atmosphere in the living room was a bit stressful, and everyone didn't speak.
Outside the inn, the chirping of horses was heard.
Cao Shaoqin arrived with a large team of people from Dongchang.
Zhou Huai'an's face changed. Cao Shaoqin came faster than he expected.
Jarting, on the other hand, looked relaxed. The overall situation has been decided, and Zhou Huaian and others are difficult to fly.
The first person to do it was not Zhou Huai'an, not Qiu Moyan, but gold and jade!
This time, Jin Zhuyu only injected a flying knife with all his attention. The target of her attack was not Jia Ting, not Lu Xiaochuan, but Cao Tian, who had a somewhat irritable personality.
Jarting exclaimed, "Be careful. ”
It's a pity that Jia Ting has to shout late. The speed of the flying knife was too fast, and it directly penetrated Cao Tian's temple.
Cao Tian fell to the ground and died.
Zhou Huai'an and Qiu Moyan drew their swords at the same time and stabbed at Lu Xiaochuan.
Jia Ting took out the judge's pen and pounced on Jin Zhuyu: "You woman, I will let you die without a place to be buried." ”
Diao Buyu stood in front of Jin Jiyu, pulled out the kitchen knife on his waist, and in a flash, Jia Ting's right arm was cut off.
The blade slashed through Jarting's neck.
This knife, too fast.
The kitchen knife that Diao Buyu did not have the slightest trace of blood.
Jia Ting didn't know until he was dying that the most dangerous person in the inn was not Zhou Huai'an, not gold and jade, but this inconspicuous Tatar butcher.
Lu Xiaochuan only had time to send out a flying needle once, and then was stabbed to death by Zhou Huai'an and Qiu Moyan with a sword.
Jin Zhuyu said: "Okay, the three eagle dogs of Dongchang are dead. We left through the secret passage. ”
Zhou Huai'an said: "Okay, let's go now." Cao Shaoqin has arrived. If we don't leave, we may not be able to leave. ”
Seeing that Qin Zhiyong was still standing stupidly, Jin Zhiyong scolded: "Qin Zhiyong, what are you doing? Stand here and die. Let's go. ”
Qin Zhiyong came back to his senses.
It turned out that the proprietress and Zhou Huai'an had discussed it, and suddenly attacked and joined forces to kill the three masters of the East Factory.
The action is really clean.
Jin inlaid jade, Diao Buyu, Zhou Huai'an, Qiu Moyan, the cooperation of the four can be said to be seamless. Whether they have a heart or not, Jia Ting and the others saw that Cao Shaoqin had arrived, and their minds relaxed, and they were killed on the spot, which is not surprising.
