Chapter 182: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Although the shopkeeper was timid and afraid, he knew in his heart that no matter how fierce the uninvited guest in front of him was, he now had something to ask for himself, and after straightening out his chaotic thoughts, he put away his promises, and his waist straightened up a little unconsciously.
In recent days, his tavern had not been visited for several days because of the imminent outbreak of war. Now, he had reached the point where he could not make ends meet, and was worrying about where to get some money, when these two men came, and seeing how he was dressed, he was certainly not poor. When you open your mouth to ask for the news of King Xian, you must be either rich or expensive.
He really knows a thing or two about the news of King Xian, if he doesn't take advantage of this to make a profit, then there will really be no store in this village. Thank God forbid, this is really a nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
He slowly walked out of the counter, his eyes flashing with undisguised calculations, but before he could get close to Lu Anjin, he was choked by Ling Feng's neck. At first, he didn't care, thinking that this gloomy man was just scaring himself, but as his breathing became weaker and weaker, he was about to roll his eyes up, and it really reached the point of life and death, and he suddenly realized that this person really wanted to kill him!
The shopkeeper wanted to resist, but how could he, an ordinary person who had no power to restrain the chicken, be the opponent of Ling Feng, who had practiced martial arts all year round, he didn't touch half of Ling Feng's clothes, and his fangs and claws gradually fell weakly. The thin air made his breathing more and more difficult, and the dilemma of having no way to survive made him finally admit it and close his eyes in resignation.
Just when his eyes were completely plunged into darkness, in a hazy and hazy way, he finally heard a heavenly voice, soft and gentle, the same as the voice of his mother when he was a child and coaxed him to sleep, "Ling Feng." ”
The hand that imprisoned his neck suddenly left him, and the shopkeeper collapsed weakly on the ground, his hands covering his neck, panting violently, and breathing in a big gulp of air.
Lu Anjin walked in front of him, half-squatting in front of him, she casually touched the accessories in her hand, and smiled smartly, "Now, what do you want the shopkeeper to say to me?" ”
These two people are not good masters at all, they are so vicious, they must be the killers of the rivers and lakes full of evil. That's it, the hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, although his little life is cheap, but it is also very expensive, just now he has already experienced the fear of dying once, if he does it again, his fragile little heart really can't stand it.
That's it, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, he really doesn't need to lose his life because of a person who has nothing to do with him. He glanced at Lu Anjin tremblingly, didn't dare to take Qiao anymore, and said honestly, "The place where King Xian was assassinated is in Niutou Mountain in the west of the city, and people have often gone there in the past two days, and I don't know about the rest." ”
Lu Anjin frowned slightly, and looked at the shopkeeper sharply, "Are you sure that King Xian was assassinated on the head of the bull, not Laohutan?" ”
"Tiger Beach is inside the bull's head, you wait," the shopkeeper stood up weakly, walked quickly to the counter, and took out a cowhide roll, Lu Anjin looked down and saw that it was a map.
Seriously, they are new to this place, and they are really unfamiliar with the place, and there is no GPS navigation in this era, if they can't find a guide, even if they go to Niutou Mountain, they will spin around like headless flies, which is a pure waste of time, let alone finding someone.
The shopkeeper pointed to a small hill on the map, "This is Laohutan, where there are many strange rocks and fierce beasts, so few people go there." ”
Lu Anjin didn't speak, looked at the map carefully, and nodded when he heard the words, "We bought this map." ”
Before he finished speaking, Ling Feng consciously took out the silver ticket, and when the shopkeeper saw the amount on it, he immediately smiled, these two people were so generous, they knew that he had already told the truth, so they didn't have to suffer the crime. He touched his hot neck, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, what is he, he can't live for his own sin?
"Shopkeeper, would you like to be our guide? Of course, I won't let you do a free job," she glanced at Ling Feng, who took out another silver ticket, "I'm tired of the shopkeeper." ”
He had lived most of his life, and he had never seen so much silver, and he was simply ecstatic. The shopkeeper's trembling hand borrowed the silver ticket in his hand, and then patted his chest arrogantly and promised: "Please rest assured, Miss, this matter is wrapped up in me, and when the wind and sand pass, I will take the two nobles into the mountain." Now, please take a break, and I'll go get you some food. ”
Lu Anjin nodded and said politely, "In this way, I will bother the shopkeeper." ”
The shopkeeper quickly made a few dishes, and he explained to Lu Anjin at a loss, "My lady went back to her parents' house two days ago, and she encountered this bad weather, so she hasn't returned home yet. Miss make do with it, this wind and sand will be gone tomorrow, and we will enter the mountain tomorrow. ”
Lu Anjin glanced at the four dishes on the table that were not selling well, and glanced meaningfully at the very shy shopkeeper, and suddenly smiled, and said very good-naturedly: "I'm tired of the shopkeeper." ”
After finishing the meal, Lu Anjin went directly to the guest room, Ling Feng looked at Lu Anjin who was sitting quietly by the window, his mouth opened and closed many times, and in the end there was still no sound.
He had too many questions to ask, for example, he had to test the poison before eating, but the princess stopped him. Even if he is simple-headed, he knows that this shopkeeper is the kind of unscrupulous profiteer with a black heart and black lungs, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do anything pickled. When you're out and about, be careful.
Ling Feng didn't speak, but Lu Anjin moved first. She took out two pills from the package, one she swallowed into her stomach, and the other handed it to Ling Feng. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Eat." ”
What Lu Anjin gave, even if it was poison, he would swallow it without blushing and heartbeat. Ling Feng took the pill, didn't ask, and went straight into his stomach.
"There's no poison in Fang Cai's meal." Before Ling Feng's heart could be put down, he heard her say again: "It's just sweat medicine." ”
Ling Feng's mouth couldn't help twitching, the princess had always had an opinion, but this time he really couldn't understand what she was thinking. "Princess, you know that there is a problem with the food, why do you still eat it."
Lu Anjin's smile became brighter and brighter, and her smart eyes blinked mischievously, but her eccentric appearance at this time did not make Ling Feng show a trace of a smile.
She shrugged helplessly, spread her hands, and looked helpless. "If you don't eat it, how can you watch the next good show." The smile on her lips slowly disappeared, and a shallow fierceness climbed up, and she gave an indifferent order, "People don't offend me, I don't offend people; If anyone sins against me, he will repay him a hundredfold! ”
The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when people kill people and oversell goods. At midnight, Lu Anjin really heard a sound of Suo Suo from outside, and the sound of a conversation that deliberately lowered his voice.
"Big brother, are you sure those two people have eaten all the food."
"Nonsense, I'm not sure, are you sure?" The shopkeeper's voice was a little louder, and he pressed it down again, gritting his teeth and saying, "Do you know how many sins Lao Tzu suffered today?" Dare to doubt Lao Tzu, if you want money, come, if you don't want money, let Lao Tzu go! ”
"Big brother, don't worry about the little one, what the big brother says is what it is. The eldest brother asked me to go to the knife mountain, and the little one will never go into the sea of fire! ”
The shopkeeper glared at him fiercely, and then said angrily, "It's so loud, shut your mouth for Lao Tzu!" ”
Lu Anjin couldn't help but smile and shook his head, thinking that this ancient people were really stupid and cute, the routines of killing people and setting fires were similar, and even the methods were similar. This is the first time she has experienced this kind of thing, and it seems that another time is with Xiao Yun.
Ling Feng, who had been closing his eyes to recuperate, suddenly opened his eyes, and his sharp eyes looked straight out of the door. His figure flashed, and he kicked open the wooden door, and in the stunned eyes of the bandits, he pressed the leading shopkeeper to the ground.
"Ouch," the shopkeeper wailed, and his two accomplices instinctively wanted to run when they saw this, but Ling Feng drew his long sword and lay it in front of them. The two of them were sweating profusely, knelt on the ground with a puff, and begged bitterly: "The hero spares his life, the hero spares his life, it was all instigated by Hu Laoer, and the little one will never dare anymore." ”
The dark room suddenly had a glimmer of light, and the closed wooden door was slowly opened with a heavy creaking sound. Lu Anjin clasped his hands around his chest, looked at the three people who were crying with a handful of snot and tears, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile, "You really didn't disappoint me." ”
She said this sentence without a beginning or end, but the shopkeeper miraculously understood her unfinished words, his face was forced to be in close contact with the smelly land, and he couldn't speak, but he still begged for mercy with a strong desire to survive: "Miss spare your life, the little one will never dare anymore." ”
The shopkeeper really couldn't understand why he didn't react when he saw these two people take the sweat medicine with his own eyes. He was sure that the effect of the drug had not expired, that there was only one possibility, and neither of them had believed him in the first place.
Lu Anjin squatted in front of him, looking at him with a smile, but her little hand knocked his chin viciously, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and she looked innocent and splendid, but the words she said were like the cold snow of the moon, which made people feel cold all over her body.
"Miss Ben's patience has never been good, and Miss Ben has already given you a chance, so you don't cherish it, and you want to harm Miss Ben again. Since you are so desperate, why should Miss Ben care. ”
"Miss spare her life, the little one will never dare again!" There are many people in the world who are not afraid of death, but they definitely do not include him Hu Laoer.
Lu Anjin closed her eyes and sighed deeply, she lived a new life, she didn't want to think about how bad human nature was, but the cruel reality slapped her in the face again and again, beat her painfully, and beat her helplessly!
She stood up slowly, looked at him condescendingly, and said indifferently, "Miss Ben's subordinates never leave messages and have no trust, since you are looking for death three times and twice, then Miss Ben will fulfill you." ”
Before the words fell, Fang Cai was still begging for mercy, and the next moment the person's eyes widened in horror, and he was panting for a long time.
