"This is supposed to be the place where the hermit lived, and I didn't know if I had bothered me when I came here. ”

Xia Ji's heart was like water, he walked to the door of the house, stepped on the steps covered with moss, and stepped on the moss with his bare feet, for some reason, there was an extra biting coldness.

Maybe it's a night in the mountains.

The figure paused, and then turned his head sideways, only to see that the clothes drying were all women's things, and the dyed red was a little abnormal.

Are there no men?

Xia Ji felt a little strange in his heart, and then he arrived at the door in three or two steps.

Knock knock.

After waiting for a while, a woman's voice came from inside the house: "Who?"

Xia Ji was stunned for a moment, this voice was a little familiar, but he said casually: "I was robbed, so I came to borrow a piece of clothing." ”

It didn't take long.

The door was cautiously opened, revealing a gap.

In the moonlight, Xia Ji saw a vigilant woman's face peeking out of the crack in the door.

Some white, some strange.

Xia Ji smiled self-deprecatingly, and really thought too much.

Fate, how can there be such a child's play?

That's right, Ning Mengzhen was positioned by herself with a life and death point, although she was also nearby, she was not in this canyon.

Wait until you go back to Bikong Mountain, and then pick her up.

Xia Ji said: "Borrow a piece of clothing." ”

The woman grinned suddenly, "Please come in." ”

Although she laughed, the vigilant expression on her face did not change, as if it was a frozen look.

Come on in...

Come on in...

The sound was ethereal, like a magic sound.

The door was opened, and it was pitch black behind it.

Xia Ji stood in front of the door, and suddenly realized that there might be something terrifying behind this door, if he stepped in, something bad would happen.

Looking at the woman again, he suddenly realized that he could only see her face.

And only that face can give people a sense of reality.

The rest of the body parts cannot be seen clearly even by one's own ability.

Xia Ji frowned.

"Why don't you come in?" the woman's voice stiffened.

Xia Ji smiled and said, "I'm afraid of the dark." ”

"Then I'll light a candle for you. ”

The woman turned, seemingly stumbling through a drawer in the dark.

Xia Ji looked sideways and looked back.

The bright moon was obscured by dark clouds, the mountains and forests were plunged into pure black, and the air was a little oppressive.

Hiss...

A red candle lit up.

In the cramped space of this mountain hut, a small limited area of light lit up.

Xia Ji found that the woman's vigilant face was very white and stiff.

It's as if his expression has frozen, and it will never change again.

The woman walked to the door with a red candle, the surroundings were illuminated, Xia Ji's eyes swept over, there was an ancient Eight Immortals table in the light, and there was an old woman and a little girl sitting next to the Eight Immortals table.

Both of them were pale and stiff, both facing the door, their eyes staring straight at them.

Seeing their gaze, the two hurriedly lowered their heads, but raised them slightly, rolled their eyes and continued to stare at themselves, which contained greed.

The picture flickered away, as the woman had already walked up to her with the red candle, and her voice became more and more stiff, "Come in." ”

"Come in..."

"Come in!!"

The voice grew faster and faster, as if patience had run out, and it became rough and irritable, hysterical.

The woman threw away the red candle directly, grabbed the passer-by in front of the door with both hands, and tried to pull him to the door.

As soon as the candle flame hit the ground, it was extinguished by the cold air of the ground.

In the barren mountains, there is no light.

Xia Ji directly raised the index finger of his right hand, and the body-breaking sword qi was condensed into an inch, wrapped around the holy bone.

One finger destroys evil.

When it was pointed out, the woman had already grabbed it with both hands.

Boom!!

This finger seems to have ignited something.

Through the transformation of the Holy Bone, the powerful sword qi power was transformed into the power of destroying evil in a very small proportion.

However, Xia Ji's power is so great, even if it is only a small proportion, it is enough.

And this power directly detonated the hut in front of him.

The flame of light blinds the eyes for a short time.

Xia Ji opened his eyes again, only to hear three or two strange screams piercing his eardrums, in the gradually fading light, showing a thick and distorted black smoke, shooting out of the house, into the air, it began to dilute into a grimace, and then as if torn by the wind, slowly dispersed, disappeared without a trace.

Look at the hut in front of you.

In the room were three female corpses that had long since died, and even their bodies were bitten by insects, and the body shape was the woman, the old woman, and the girl just now.

"These three people probably want to escape the world and hide in the mountains and forests, but they don't want to be harmed by the curse..."

Xia Ji sighed, looked for flint, and burned the house with a fire.

Behind him was a blazing fire, and he turned to leave.

Later.

He borrowed a shirt from Orion's house on the outskirts of the forest.

cut off the black hair up to two meters long, and he was ready to wait for dawn before returning to the royal capital.

...

The Four Princes' Mansion.

Wei Liao, who had an evil face, was actually frightened.

The middle-aged man in sackcloth in front of him made him feel a lot of pressure.

Ling'er on the side said, "What do you call Mr."

The middle-aged man glanced at him, and when he saw this young woman, he turned out to be bright, and then said, "Jumo Palace, Gongsun's hometown." ”

Ling'er noticed the middle-aged man's gaze and frowned, "Did Mr. Gongsun's war puppet ever bring?"

The middle-aged man's eyes swept over this Ling'er, and this woman had only turned the clouds and rain with the four princes during the day, stained with rain and dew, and her complexion was particularly gorgeous, and at this time she produced a kind of mature beauty of a woman.

Ling'er couldn't stand this gaze anymore, she only felt extremely disgusted, so she said loudly: "Mr. Gongsun!"

The middle-aged man in sackcloth smiled and said, "Ten miles south of the city, the war puppet is huge, more than three or four zhang high, and it is too shocking to bring it into the city like this.

The four princes only need to prepare the gold, and the old man will take you there immediately. ”

Wei Liao suddenly said: "One million taels of gold, can it be cheaper." ”

Gongsun Ji said with a smile: "A war puppet can be worth 100,000 troops, and 1 million taels of gold can buy 100,000 troops without eating or drinking, does the prince think it is cheap or expensive?"

The old man came all the way from Beiliang and also passed through Guanshan.

If Guan Shan can have a war puppet from my Jumo Palace, I'm afraid that three thousand soldiers and horses can hold the northern Kou tide.

And these 3,000 soldiers and horses are only responsible for preventing the robbers from sneaking up on them.

The frontal battlefield can be completely handed over to the war puppet.

The fourth prince is a smart man, think about it carefully, how much military expenses can be saved by this?

If you become the king of Wei, how much military spending can such a puppet save you?"

Wei Liao asked, "How long can this puppet last?"

Gongsun Ji said with a smile: "Thirty-year warranty, and after that, if you need to replace spare parts or upgrade, you will need to pay extra." ”

Seeing that the four princes were still hesitating, Gongsun Ji said: "The prince must know that only the country that has the puppet of our Jumo Palace can be regarded as stepping into the realm of a military power, not to mention that you and I have an appointment in advance, what else do you need to hesitate about?"

Wei Liao gritted his teeth, his expression was uncertain, he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly he waved his hand and said, "Ling'er, you go down first." ”

The young woman was stunned for a moment, and then she didn't disobey, and nodded: "The prince has something to call me." ”

Immediately, she retreated.

And Gongsun Ji's gaze kept moving away with her graceful figure until the curtain was lowered.

Turning his head, looking at the prince who was a little evil in front of him, Gongsun Ji said very politely: "Let's talk about the deal directly." ”

Wei Liao groaned, as if he was making a big decision.

Gongsun Ji said coldly: "If you don't say it again, the old man is gone, even if you breach the contract, the liquidated damages will be 20%, 200,000 taels of gold, if you don't pay, someone will come to you." ”

Wei Liao hurriedly raised his hand and said, "No, I want to do a bigger business." ”

"Oh?" Gongsun Ji suddenly became interested, and leaned forward, "Tell me about it." ”

Wei Liao lowered his voice and said: "King Wei's body can't survive this winter, and my brothers are dead, so there is no other choice for the succession than me." ”

Gongsun Ji laughed: "You are wrong. ”

"Wrong?"

"Your father pampered Concubine Hua before he was weak, and Concubine Hua was pregnant, pregnant for six months, and when she stayed until the depths of winter, she would give birth, if it was a daughter, it would be fine, if it was a son, you would not be the only heir. ”

"This..."A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Wei Liao's eyes, "This child can't be born, I won't let that old thing have any choice." ”

Gongsun Ji said: "I'm not interested in your royal internal affairs, I remind you, I'm just worried that my contractor will have an accident... Now that you understand, let's talk about your deal. ”

Wei Liao said: "After I became the queen of Wei, I exchanged a quarter of the land of Wei for a war puppet and a person's life. ”

Gongsun Ji thought for a while: "One-third." ”

He didn't even ask who he killed, which showed how confident he was.

Wei Liao gritted his teeth, thinking that if that person did not die, then his own gain was likely to be zero, but if he got the support of the Giant Mo Palace, it would be two-thirds of the Wei State, and this deal... Value!

So he nodded and said, "Agreed!"

Gongsun Ji took out a scroll from his arms and said slowly: "Then we need to revise the content of the contract again." ”

His slender fingers grabbed the red rope in the center of the scroll, suddenly stopped, and turned his head sideways: "By the way, I'll add an add, otherwise I won't agree to change." ”

Wei Liao asked, "What's the head?"

Gongsun Ji licked his lips: "The woman who walked out just now, I want it." ”

The fourth prince's face turned red, and an evil aura flashed in his eyes, and he straightened up, about to leave angrily.

But the middle-aged man in sackcloth was not in a hurry and waited slowly.

Sure enough, when Wei Liao walked to the door, he sighed heavily, turned around and said, "Okay!"
