Nothing was done, and it could even be said that he messed things up, but he still got paid, even more than he promised at the beginning, Director Zhao's heart was full of confusion, and even some panic.

He really didn't think much about it when he took the job, after all, the price offered was indeed very attractive.

But it was only now that Director Zhao really realized how dangerous it was for him to get involved, as long as he was about to take a wrong step, his life would really be gone.

Director Zhao also didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know at all that if he hadn't taken over the job about the Yumen Inn, and it happened that Sima Jingling was here, he would have really lost his life here.

According to Xiaowen's temperament, in order not to expose his identity and whereabouts, he will definitely kill these people who are involved with him, just look at the team of horse thieves in front of him.

However, these things are not enough for Director Zhao to say slowly.

Although Director Zhao doesn't have much wisdom, after all, he is also a person who has been in many caravans, and he still has some ability to observe words and colors.

He looked at this meaning, it should be nothing to do with him, so he put the gold leaf in his arms, smiled shyly and said goodbye to Sima Jingling, Liu Rushi and Xiaowen.

"In that case, I guess I don't have anything to do, a few continue, continue."

Liu Ru was also a little satisfied with Director Zhao's interest, so she also gave Director Zhao a good look, and didn't care much about Director Zhao's uninvited things.

She called a guy and asked him to open a room for Director Zhao to rest, and then told Director Zhao that as long as he could pay the house money and the qualification money for himself before leaving, then he could continue to come to the Yumen Inn in the future, if not, then the door of the Yumen Inn would not be opened for him in the future.

After hearing this, Director Zhao nodded again and again, promising that he would definitely deliver the silver taels clearly, and then followed the guy up to the second floor and went to the room where he could rest.

After Director Zhao's figure disappeared into a room on the second floor, it was time for the remaining people in the lobby to solve their problems once and for all.

First of all, there is the connection between Hyowen and the horse thieves.

After the group of horse thieves reunited, they vented very much, and after calming down, the leader hugged his fist in the direction of Liu Ruye and said: "Thank you for the righteous rescue of the shopkeeper Liu, our brothers have offended a lot before, and I would like to make amends to you." Today's life-saving grace, our brothers will never forget, what is the matter with the shopkeeper Liu, just tell a few of us, our brothers, even if they are cattle and horses, they will repay the great kindness of the shopkeeper Liu.

However, we only have one request now, and that is to ask Shopkeeper Liu to allow us to take revenge. Although we do not know who our enemy is or where our enemy is, we cannot go unpunished.

Our brothers for so many years have become the souls of this person's knife, and such deep hatred and hatred are engraved in the bones of each of us, and they can never be forgotten! If we can't even avenge their murders, then what face do we have to continue to stay in this world, how can we sleep peacefully every night? I'm afraid that I won't be able to endure this bone-cutting pain every night.

Therefore, please shopkeeper Liu, you can allow a few of our brothers to find the enemy and avenge this great revenge, even if we only have one left, we will finally complete the revenge and repay the treasurer's great favor! ”

As he spoke, the leader of the horse thieves seemed to feel that this could not show his sincerity, so he directly bent his legs without hesitation and knelt down.

Seeing this, the other thieves also knelt down and said in unison:

"Thank you for the great kindness of the shopkeeper Liu, please make the shopkeeper Liu."

Liu Ru looked at this situation, and the fan that had been shaking in his hand suddenly paused for a moment, and then shook it slowly.

There was no happy look on her face, but the corners of her eyes were slightly hooked, and there was some contempt and sneer on her face.

She took two steps and approached the leader of the horse thieves, looked at him condescendingly, and asked softly:

"You say, how many of you are very grateful to me, and you will repay me for your kindness by being a cow and a horse?"

The leader of the horse thieves nodded, and the brothers behind him all nodded.

Liu asked again,

"Then you also said that your brothers will definitely take revenge, and if you don't take revenge, you can't feel at ease, right?"

The leader of the horse thieves nodded again, and there was a hint of resentment and determination on his face.

Liu Ru observed their expressions, not even the slightest change in their faces.

She burst out laughing, and said to the thieves, "What you said is really funny. For the first time, I heard that a person with a deep hatred would even pretend to repay his kindness to others. I, Liu, ask you, this hatred of yours is definitely not endless, right? The ease of your mouth is that even if there is only one person left in the end, he will continue to take revenge and repay his kindness. What if the last man can't get revenge? He is dead, who will repay me?

That's why I'm used to looking down on people like you, and when I finally survived, I cried for revenge. It's just a matter of shouting for revenge, after all, this is righteousness and human nature, but can you not waver between revenge and revenge, want to do anything, and be reluctant to give up anything? ”

The leader of the horse thieves was a little stunned, and for a moment he couldn't understand what Liu Ru meant.

He thought carefully about Liu Ruyi's words, and couldn't help but retort in a stunned voice: "However, revenge is revenge, and revenge is revenge, and revenge is revenge, and the two are different in nature, how can they be mixed up, or simply abandon one or the other?"

Revenge is for love, and revenge is for righteousness. The word 'affection' is the foundation of our people's lives, how can we abandon one of them. If the shopkeeper Liu is worried about our inability to repay the favor, then there is no need to be entangled, our brothers are united and have already prepared. Revenge is revenge, but it will not delay us in repaying the treasurer's kindness. ”

The horse thief leader said this very sincerely and sincerely, but after Liu Ru heard it, his face couldn't help but have no appreciation, but turned cold, looking at the eyes of the horse thieves and his group, without a trace of warmth.

She said coldly: "Whatever you want, you can do whatever you like, in short, don't have anything to do with me in the car." By the way, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll send you a message for free.

Do you not know who your enemies are? Then I'll tell you now. But if you're smarter, you've already guessed, right? ”

The horse thieves are still a little unclear, but the second child, who has been thinking calmly, suddenly thought of something, and directly "snorted", and set his eyes on Xiaowen in the field.

Liu Ru has been paying attention to this group of horse thieves, and naturally noticed the second child's gaze.

She recycled the chill on her face and smiled interestingly,

"It seems that someone has already guessed it."

The second child got Liu Ruyes's affirmation, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he stood up all of a sudden, and went straight towards Xiaowen, and punched Xiaowen in the face without thinking much about anything.

Xiaowen looked at the fist that was about to hit his face, but the expression on his face did not change at all, just tilted his head slightly, dodged the fist of the second horse thief, and raised his right hand and knocked on the fist of the second horse thief, countering the second child.

The second child's face suddenly burst out with extremely strong hatred.

His eyes were red, his eyes were cracked, and his muscles were swelling, even though his hands had been suppressed by the weak-looking young man in front of him, he still couldn't stop his desire to eat his flesh and eat his blood.

When the others saw the second child's appearance, they also understood something, and they rushed towards Xiaowen one after another.

And Liu Ru and Sima Jingling faced this situation, and they did not stop it, but were a little happy to see it.

They moved away from Xiaowen slightly, and they saw that Xiaowen had to abandon the confident and indifferent look on his face, but instead tightened his face, blocking the moves of these horse thieves and the undisciplined nonsense, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.

He glanced at Sima Jingling and Liu Ru, who had put him out of the way, and said to them:

"Did you two go out of so much effort to pull me out from behind just so that I could die at the hands of such people? Then you guys are so kind! ”

Liu Ru didn't speak, and Sima Jingling opened her mouth.

She said: "Actually, to put it mildly, you really don't have anything to check, in other words, you don't need to work hard to check you at all."

But one thing you know very well is that you are not here to let you lose your life like this. What is that for, let me think about it, anyway, after all these years, you can still escape from that man's hands, and you will never die at the hands of these people for a while. ”

"Heh, you're a person, you're really ......" Xiaowen shook his head, and was about to say something, when he saw that a person was already coming straight to him with red eyes.

He hurriedly dodged by, knocked the man aside with his backhand, and then, as if he had finally become impatient, he was much more aggressive, and he knocked down all the horse thieves in three strokes and five divisions.

He twisted his neck, clapped his hands, and regardless of the horse thieves who fell to the ground and were still looking at him with red eyes, he walked directly to Sima Jingling's seat, and without seeing it, he picked up the kettle and poured himself a cup of tea.

He said to Sima Jingling, "I'm really curious about your identity now. But I know, you won't tell me. ”

He poured all the tea in one gulp, and then calmed his breath a little, looking at Sima Jingling's unmoved appearance, he knew that he had no chance to reverse.

He looked at the group of horse thieves who had fallen to the ground, still struggling to get up, and slowly spoke:

"The news about that treasure is not entirely groundless. But the meaning of this treasure is different from what you thought at the beginning. In other words, it can be worth a thousand dollars, but it can also be worth a lifetime. ”

The horse thieves who heard the word "treasure" were even more excited.

However, at this time, Sima Jingling had already heard what she wanted to hear, and naturally she would not allow these horse thieves to carry out revenge that was completely impossible to complete in one moment without regard for this, so she let Liu Ruye's guys watch it.

Her sincerity was delivered, Xiaowen simply sat down directly, and while drinking tea, she told Sima Jingling what was going on.

"Shopkeeper Liu has lived here for many years, and he is the people of Beiao, and some rumors about Beiao are also clearer than others. Presumably, some rumors of 'treasure' must also be clearer. ”

Shopkeeper Liu seemed to be a little surprised,

"Is it really the so-called 'treasure of the desert'? I thought this was really just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”

Xiaowen nodded, but shook his head again,

"It seems that this news is indeed well concealed, and even the shopkeeper Liu only knows one and doesn't know the other. This treasure is indeed related to the desert rumor, but the reason why it has such a rumor is because it is related to a person in the history of Beiao. That is, Murdahan. ”

"It's him ......"

When Xiaowen said this name, even Sima Jingling was a little surprised.

This Murdahan can be regarded as a celebrity.

Even Sima Jingling, who was in the Southern Imperial Kingdom, couldn't have heard of this person.

In fact, this matter goes back a long time.

At the beginning, when the Southern Imperial Kingdom was not the Southern Imperial Kingdom, and the Northern Proud Kingdom was not the Northern Imperial Kingdom, Murdahan was already famous among the two armies. He's a strange man.

At the beginning, the Southern Yu and the Northern Ao had been at war for a long time, and Murdahan could be regarded as a neutral person between the two armies.

He knew infantry strategy, and of course, more importantly, he was the richest man at that time.

At that time, the two armies of Nanyu and Beiao were suffering from a lack of money, and people like Murdahan were exactly the talents that they lacked on both sides.

Just as the two armies were eyeing Merdahan with their eyes, Multahan suddenly sent a large amount of silver to the two armies, which surprised both armies, but since then, Merdahan has disappeared.

However, because of this money from Murdahan, both Nanyu and Beiao decided to temporarily truce and use the money to recuperate and develop people's livelihood.

As a result, there were later two countries, the Southern Imperial and the Northern Ao.

It can be said that Murdahan can be said to be the benefactor of the two countries.

Sima Jingling thought about these records of the person Murdahan left in the history of the Southern Imperial Kingdom, and couldn't help but show an expression of amazement on her face.

So she sighed, and then asked, "Murdahan, could it be that there are some unknown secrets hidden in this person?" ”

Xiaowen nodded and said with a smile: "That's true." In the years when Murdahan disappeared, he did not disappear without a trace in vain, but married someone.

The person who married him is said to be a direct relative of Beiao at that time. That is, the later Northern Proud royal family. ”

As soon as Xiaowen's voice fell, Sima Jingling's face changed.

She seemed to feel that a huge picture scroll was unfolding in front of her, which depicted the vast history of the Northern Proud Kingdom for hundreds of years, and in this history, there was definitely an unquiet darkness hidden.
