Chapter 124: Tribute
She pushed open the door of Nangong Che's room, Nangong Che was changing clothes in the room, and her upper body was already naked. Bai Shuqin didn't expect that Nangong Che was so strong and presented a perfect inverted triangle, although she couldn't see the front, she guessed that the six-pack abs must also be standard, but she didn't know how the pectoral muscles were.
Bai Shuqin was thinking nonsense, Nangong Che suddenly turned around, and when he saw that it was her, he didn't shy away from it, and put on his coat directly.
Although it was only for a moment, Bai Shuqin still saw his strong chest muscles, which seemed to be a little bigger than hers, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"When you enter someone's room, you should knock on the door first, don't you know?" Nangong Che asked with a cold face.
Of course, Bai Shuqin knew that she was going to knock on the door, but she didn't want to attract other people's attention, not to mention that she confirmed that he was the only one at the door, so she pushed the door in.
"I'm here for business." Bai Shuqin knew that he was at a loss, so he immediately changed the topic.
Nangong Che sat down and waited quietly for Bai Shuqin to continue.
Bai Shuqin also sat down opposite him, and his eyes accidentally saw that the clothes that Nangong Che had changed on the bed were already soaked. Sure enough, he is not afraid of the heat, but he has few sweat glands on his face.
Seeing Nangong Che staring at her, Bai Shuqin hurriedly withdrew his gaze and said in a serious voice: "Have you noticed that there is a hole under the gauze on the door, I suspect that it is used for sweat medicine." ”
Nangong Che didn't seem surprised, Bai Shuqin suddenly reacted, "You already knew?" Do you have any ideas, that's why you so simply agreed to give five hundred taels! ”
"What do you think?" Nangong Che asked rhetorically.
Bai Shuqin's mind turned quickly, they were not the first people to come, and the people who came before would definitely pass through here. So Nangong Che should have known about the situation here a long time ago.
"There must have been people who have suffered losses here before, and you specially chose to stay here this time, do you want to take revenge on them?" Although Bai Shuqin was guessing, his tone was quite affirmative.
Nangong Che smiled, "It's not enough to take revenge, it's just to treat others in the way of others." ”
"What the hell happened here?" Bai Shuqin was a little curious, was it really like what was written, killing people and robbing money, and then making human flesh into buns and selling them to passers-by.
The truth is not as terrifying as Bai Shuqin thought, this shop is just a black shop, specializing in murder and robbery.
Especially for outsiders, killing them in this remote area is unaware, and the government can't control them. The money they stolen was enough for them to get away with it for a while.
The first batch of people sent by Nangong Che fell into the way. Not only were they robbed, but all the dancing girls they brought were insulted, and then they were sold at a high price to those singles who could not afford to marry their daughters-in-law.
After this incident, because of the distance, Nangong Che just sent someone to rescue the wandering dancing girl.
After passing by here this time, Nangong Che made up his mind to take a nest here, which can be regarded as an explanation to those brothers who died here.
Bai Shuqin was silent, Nangong Che didn't tell her about it, obviously she didn't need to interfere in this matter.
"What are you thinking?" Nangong Che asked with interest.
"It's nothing, now that you have an idea, it looks like I can get a good night's sleep." Bai Shuqin leaned back on the back of the chair boredly, and the feeling of being expelled made her a little uncomfortable.
Nangong Che naturally noticed the change in her, "You have a more important mission on you, and this small matter doesn't need you to take action." You don't have to ask too much, just rest well. ”
He naturally reached out and touched Bai Shuqin's head, Bai Shuqin was like a frightened turtle, reflexively retracting his head into his neck, avoiding his hand.
Nangong Che's hand stopped in the air for two seconds, and then retracted it, as if nothing had happened.
There was an awkward atmosphere in the air, Bai Shuqin straightened his neck and pulled the corners of his mouth at Nangong Che, "Since it's none of my business, then I'll go back." ”
She wanted to flee back to her room like an arrow off the string, and she clearly felt a burning sensation on her face, and she didn't need to look at it to know that her face must be red now.
But why did she blush? She is not a simple little girl, and she has no interest in Nangong Che, probably because she is embarrassed, Bai Shuqin comforted herself like this.
The temperature outside had already dropped, and Bai Shuqin pushed open the window and let the cold wind blow on her face, which made her feel more comfortable. However, the cold wind blew for a long time, which made people's heads a little painful, and she quickly closed the window again.
The dinner inn does provide it, but the stir-fried dishes seem to be burnt, and there is no appetite when you look at it.
Bai Shuqin didn't want to eat, so he drank a few sips of hot water, asked for some dry food from the guards, and stuffed two mouthfuls casually, which was considered to be a solution to dinner.
Back upstairs, Bai Shuqin couldn't sleep, and his eyes were fixed on the hole in the door, wanting to see if those people would use a bamboo tube to blow ecstasy inside.
Before the ecstasy arrived, Bai Shuqin fell asleep groggily, and when he woke up again, it was already the dead of night outside.
Bai Shuqin put on a cold-proof coat and walked outside the door, but hesitated. She didn't seem to be involved in this matter, Nangong Che should be able to handle this matter, and after thinking about it, she decided to go back to bed and continue to sleep.
As soon as she turned around, she heard the sound of an iron basin falling to the ground downstairs, which was particularly harsh in the quiet of the night, and startled her.
The voice was downstairs, and Bai Shuqin still decided to take a look first.
The tables and benches downstairs were not cleaned up, there was no one around, and no pots had fallen. Bai Shuqin looked downstairs and there was nothing abnormal, but the voice just now was indeed coming from downstairs.
She didn't believe in the ghosts and gods, and she didn't find anything abnormal, which only meant that she didn't blow up to the ground. She looked around again, and finally crouched on the ground and tapped the ground with her hand.
The ground of the wooden floor makes a hollow sound when knocked up, and it is obvious that there is a hole in the ground, but where do you go down?
Bai Shuqin looked on the ground, but he didn't see any mechanism or anything like that, let alone the entrance to the underground. She simply leaned on the ground and listened carefully to the sound coming from below.
There were people walking around below, and the sound of sharpening knives could be faintly heard. Bai Shuqin was taken aback, are these people planning to start killing people?
Suddenly, a pair of hands were placed on Bai Shuqin's shoulders. Bai Shu Qin's heart jumped to his throat, and his backhand was an over-the-shoulder fall, but he saw that it was Nangong Che, but it was too late to stop.
Fortunately, Nangong Che was strong in martial arts, turned over, turned around in a chic manner, and his tone was slightly reproachful, "Didn't you let you rest?" ”
His voice was extremely small, Bai Shuqin heard the gesture that was still booing him, and heard the sound of footsteps coming from the ground, she quickly pulled Nangong Che under the table and hid.
After a while, the group of people in the store came up from downstairs with knives. Only then did Bai Shuqin see that the entrance was under the urn next to the counter.
The knife glowed in the cold night, and the reflected light hit the place where Bai Shuqin and the others were hiding. Nangong Che stretched out his hand and took Bai Shuqin into his arms, and the black clothes he was wearing couldn't be seen when he saw it.
There was a faint smell on Nangong Che's body, mixed with the hormonal smell of sweat, and Bai Shuqin's cheeks involuntarily turned red again.
After the group of people went up, Bai Shuqin immediately pushed Nangong Che away and got up to follow, but was pulled down by him.
Bai Shuqin looked at Nangong Che in puzzlement, only to see him raise the corners of his mouth, pull Bai Shuqin's arm, and hide behind the account desk, looking like he was waiting to watch a good show.
In the small space, there was inevitably some physical contact between the two, Bai Shuqin felt a little awkward, and deliberately wanted to keep a little distance from him.
"Are you afraid of being addicted to me?" Nangong Che's eyes also shone in the dark night.
"How is that possible!" Bai Shuqin snorted, and in order to prove that what he said was true, he didn't hide from him. Anyway, she was sitting upright, and she didn't have any thoughts about him.
Nangong Che could feel the warmth of Bai Shuqin's body, and when he saw Bai Shuqin's frank appearance, a wicked smile appeared on his face. He propped his hand on the cabinet behind him, just encircling Bai Shuqin in his arms.
Bai Shuqin was already a lot shorter than him, and he was also short when he squatted down, so it was like being held in his arms.
She glared at him viciously, "You dare to take advantage of me, I will abolish your life!" ”
"Be quiet, they're coming down." Nangong Che's expression became serious, and he seemed to even have his ears pricked up.
Bai Shuqin was motionless by what he said, listening carefully to the sound upstairs, but he didn't hear anything, those people should be waiting for the sweat medicine to take effect.
was tricked by Nangong Che, Bai Shuqin was even more unhappy, and opened his mouth and bit him the shoulder. Taking advantage of Nangong Che's pain, she broke his hand, put her arm against his neck, and said fiercely, "Don't mess with me!" ”
Nangong Che didn't get angry because of this, and there was a smile in his eyes, "You are so fierce, which man dares to marry you?" ”
His words made Bai Shuqin think of Zhuo Jinxuan, and his face suddenly turned a little colder, "Hmph, take care of yourself!" In my life, Bai Shuqin, I don't have a good life like a man! ”
"Don't be angry, I dare to marry!" Nangong Che reached out and touched her head, seeing what she wanted to say dissatisfied, he directly put his finger on her mouth, "They're down." ”
Nangong Che didn't lie to her this time, there was indeed the sound of footsteps coming downstairs from upstairs, and Bai Shuqin was dissatisfied in his heart, and now he could only be quiet.
Nangong Che put his hand around Bai Shuqin's shoulder, leaned sideways, and stared at the upstairs with his eyes.
What happened just now disturbed Bai Shuqin's mind, she closed her eyes, threw away those messy thoughts, and looked at the group of people in the inn with all her attention.
I saw that the leader was carrying a dancing girl on each shoulder, with a lewd expression on his face, and he was still chanting words in his mouth, "It's cool for you tonight!" ”
Bai Shuqin frowned in disgust, his heart was filled with murderous intent, but when he turned his head, he saw that Nangong Che's face was calm, and he even had a little evil smile.
This is obviously not normal, although the status of the dancing girls is low, but they are a tribute to the emperor of Zhou. If they were defiled by others here, and were found after being sent to the palace, the Emperor of Zhou would definitely feel that they were insulting him.
Thinking of this, Bai Shu Qinhu looked at the group of bandits suspiciously, but found that there was something strange about those dancing girls. Although she wears a woman's dress, she is taller than those dancing girls.
Bai Shuqin raised the corners of his mouth, no wonder Nangong Che didn't have a particularly big reaction, it turned out that it had been arranged a long time ago.
Where are the dancing girls on the bandits' backs, all of them are royal guards in women's clothes. When he first set off, Bai Shuqin still felt strange, why most of the Imperial Forest Army brought by Nangong Che this time were not burly, but now they completely understand.
Since he knew that it was the Imperial Forest Army, Bai Shuqin also had the mentality of watching the show, wanting to see how the group of people would react when they found out that the beautiful girl they picked up was actually a rough man.
There were a total of sixteen people, and they passed in front of Bai Shuqin and Nangong Che, and walked into the underground through the entrance under Weng.
The last people who went down probably thought that those Imperial Forest Army had fainted by the sweat medicine, so the entrance was not even blocked, which was convenient for Bai Shuqin and Nangong Che.
Seeing that they had finished going down, Bai Shuqin took down Nangong Che's hand on her shoulder, "You take advantage of the women of the good family like this, aren't you afraid of retribution?" ”
