Chapter 474: Weird Inn
The sun sets, the sun sets.
On the official road in Linyang County, a group of officers and soldiers were escorting a prisoner cart and were hurrying on their way. And a man at the head, his eyebrows are like knives, his martial arts are extraordinary, a vigorous horse in his crotch, wearing a cloak, and several sharp long knives are inserted behind his back, and his body exudes the momentum of a martial arts powerhouse.
The man in the prison car, with sloppy hair, ragged clothes, and bare feet, also looked weather-beaten.
Zuo Qianhu glanced back at the man in the prisoner car from time to time, but there was a trace of regret and helplessness in his eyes.
"Lord Qianhu, there is an inn in front of it." At this moment, an officer and soldier escorting the prisoner car suddenly brightened up and shouted loudly.
Zuo Qianhu looked over, and there was indeed a small inn not far ahead, with a disguise fluttering in the wind.
He pulled the reins of the horse in his hand, slowed down the speed of his march, and when he came to the inn, Zuo Qianhu turned over and dismounted, personally opened the prisoner cart, untied the heavy shackles, and carefully helped the prisoner out of the carriage.
"Master Fu, I know that you were killed by a traitor, but Zuo is also acting on the orders of the emperor, along the way, I will protect you well, but after I arrive in the capital, I can't do anything." Zuo Qianhu was worried in his heart.
Although the Master Fu of the Ministry of War in front of him was wearing a prison uniform and was a felony who was about to be executed, Zuo Ling knew in his heart that Master Fu was framed by a traitor and would end up like this, and he felt deep sympathy in his heart, but he could not disobey the emperor's order.
Unlike the somewhat sad look on Zuo Qianhu's face, Master Fu was extremely sudden, and he couldn't see the sadness of dying.
Looking at Zuo Qianhu, Fu Tianqiu's somewhat chapped lips smiled faintly, and in turn comforted the other party: "Along the way, thanks to Zuo Qianhu's support, but once you die, what are you afraid of, it's a pity that you can't slash the traitors, and the frustration in the Qing Dynasty has to let those traitors take charge." ”
Zuo Qianhu supported Fu Tianqiu, and the officers and soldiers behind him, and walked into the inn.
Now the sky gradually darkened,
The arrival of a team of officers and soldiers with swords across their waists made the green forests in the inn who originally wanted to rob the idea of making money disappear in a flash, and after paying for the wine, they slipped out of the inn directly, and the place here suddenly vacated and became much more spacious, only there were four people in the corner, drinking water and resting.
"Official, I don't know if you are playing a tip or staying in a hotel?" Seeing that the official was coming, the shopkeeper in the inn hurriedly came out to greet him.
"What nonsense, of course I'm staying here at such a late hour, I'm tired of carriage and horses, and I'll prepare good wine and food for us first!" Without waiting for Zuo Qianhu to speak, an officer and soldier next to him said in a muffled voice.
"Don't be presumptuous, drink and make mistakes, have you forgotten what I told you!" Zuo Qianhu glared at this officer and soldier fiercely, and said lightly, but the latter was so frightened that he shrunk his neck, even the Tao is not, everyone knows that this jealous and hateful Lord Qianhu is notoriously strict with his soldiers, and he is not willing to offend the mildew of Lord Qianhu.
Zuo Qianhu immediately said to the shopkeeper with a relaxed expression: "You don't need wine, you just need some food to satisfy your stomach." ”
"Okay." After the shopkeeper answered, he got busy.
……
……
In the corner, Li Xiao, who was talking to Yan Chixia and the others in a low voice, couldn't help but turn his head after hearing the sound, and cast his eyes at the group of officers and soldiers.
"This prisoner, and this warrior in uniform, they look really familiar, but they are ......"
Li Xiao's eyes flickered, in the face of this situation, the guess in his heart could also be said to be eight or nine, but his calm expression was still the same, and he did not show any unusual look, and after talking to Yan Chixia and the others about specific matters as usual, the group went to the upstairs guest room to rest.
……
……
Yan Chixia, Chen Yang, and Wu San, the head catcher, rushed to the road for a day, dragging their somewhat tired bodies, and returned to their respective rooms.
And when Li Xiao stepped into the guest room, he did not close the door casually, but closed the door so that it left a gap, Li Xiao looked downstairs through the gap, and at the same time, his ears moved, and the amazing hearing was also opened, and the voices of those officials and errands fell into his ears without omission.
"Sure enough, the middle-aged man of the prisoner is the former military secretary Fu Tianqiu, and the heroic man in the cloak is the upright and jealous Zuo Qianhu in the movie."
Seeing this situation, Li Xiao estimated that the current timeline was almost advanced to the second part of the movie, presumably that Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi sisters may have set up an ambush in Zhengqi Villa, pretending to be a ghost rakshasa, ready to rescue this Fu Tianqiu, Li Xiao thought in his heart.
"This Fu Tianqiu is a loyal and righteous person, but he was framed by traitors, if he can be rescued and used for his own use, he may be able to help himself reorganize the dynasty, and when the time comes, he and Yan Chixia will be a good match, so that the reorganization of Chaogang will be more certain." With a flash of inspiration, Li Xiao had an idea in his heart and muttered to himself.
"Zuo Qianhu is going to escort Fu Tianqiu into the capital, and they can rush with them from tomorrow morning, and they can also act when the opportunity comes."
After making up his mind in his heart, Li Xiao closed the door of the room, jumped and sat on the bed in the guest room, concentrating on the Maoshan Mental Method, emptying the strong mana on his body, and tirelessly cultivating Taoism.
According to such a speed of travel, he will arrive in the capital in a few days, and when the time comes, it is inevitable to confront that Pudu Cihang, only by improving his strength as soon as possible, will he be able to compete with Pudu Cihang, about this, he is also very clear in his heart.
The candles danced, and the only sound of the cool breeze blowing through the window lattices at night was silent.
……
……
In the middle of the night, when the third watch is made.
Wu San rubbed his sleepy eyes, woke up hungry, because they wanted to rush to the capital as soon as possible, so they abandoned the carriage and changed to a thousand miles of horses.
Wu San pushed open the door of the guest room, stepped out, the cool breeze of the window lattice blew, and couldn't help but make him tremble, he hugged his body tightly, and hurriedly walked downstairs to see if he could find something to eat.
The hall of the inn was empty, and there was no one around, and presumably those officials had already eaten and drunk enough to rest.
It's just that he was a little surprised that in the hall of the inn, there were lanterns, red lanterns hung high, the word longevity was right, and the longevity peach was lined up, a joyful scene.
Seeing this situation, Wu Sanxin was surprised, full of astonishment, and when he went down the stairs, he almost stepped on the air, you know, there was no such thing here last night, how did he wake up and become like this.
"Could it be that someone wants to celebrate their birthday?"
The gurgling sound of his stomach came again, Wu San didn't think about it anymore, he went down the stairs, walked through the hall, came to the kitchen, looked closely, but saw that the stove was still faintly glowing with a flickering fire, a simmered iron pot, still bubbling with wisps of heat, dare to love the food in this pot has just been cooked.
Wu San tiptoed, looking like a thief, came to the stove, and couldn't wait to reach out to open the lid of the pot.
It's just that when Wu San opened the lid of the pot with anticipation and saw the things in the pot, a cold air rushed from the tail vertebrae to his heavenly spirit cover, as if there was no hair at this moment.
Wu San was so frightened that he threw away the lid of the pot and jumped up, like a fried cat!
Wu San fixed his eyes and saw that what was steaming in the pot was nothing else, and his eyes passed through the curling smoke, Wu San saw that in the iron pot were several bloody human heads, with round pupils and weeping blood at the corners of his eyes, as if he was still sneering at him faintly when he was dead, which was terrifying!
"Hell!"
Wu San's face turned pale with fright, and he was still a little sleepy, and he didn't know where to throw it. He screamed in alarm, and he ran out of the door, tripped over the threshold, stumbled and fell like a gourd, and then continued to run.
……
……
At this time, an extremely frightened shout resounded throughout the inn, and when he heard this voice, Li Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating and practicing, suddenly opened his eyes.
"It's Wu San!"
Li Xiao was naturally very familiar with this person's voice, he jumped out of bed, rushed out quickly, looked around through the railing, and saw Wu San staggering from the direction of the kitchen in the backyard.
"Wu San, what happened?" Li Xiao asked.
"Childe, Fang... I went to the backyard... In the kitchen, I saw that the kitchen was steaming with human heads! Wu San said tremblingly, his body was trembling, and he still looked a little frightened.
When Li Xiao heard this, he couldn't help frowning, he held the railing with his hand, turned over, and at the same time his mind moved, I don't know when, there were already two more gold leaves in his hands, moving to his eyes, the mana urged, and his eyes passed through the two gold leaves, as if revealing a golden light.
It can be seen that the lantern hanging high is made of human holsters, and the human eyes and nostrils can be faintly seen on the thin human holsters! The bamboo chairs and wooden benches placed in the hall are also made of Bai Sensen's bones, which is cold.
Li Xiao lifted a red curtain hanging on the wall, and it was a wall of skeletons covered with the bones of dead people, as if there were countless empty eyes looking at it!
"What kind of inn is this? This is clearly a gloomy ghost! Rao is Li Xiao's heart is so firm, and when he was caught off guard, he also gasped.
However, his heart was full of doubts, even if it was a gloomy ghost here, he should be aware of it like he was in the deep mountains and old forests that time?
The sinister aura in this inn seems to have been completely covered, and it is simply nowhere to be found, if it weren't for Wu San's crash, I'm afraid it would still be kept in the dark!
Fortunately, the group ate the dry food they brought, otherwise they don't know how much sin they would have suffered.
At the same time, after hearing Wu San's loud call, they also woke up a lot of officials, and they were disturbed from their sleep, and they were still very angry, but when they saw the scene like Senluo Purgatory in front of them, they were almost dying, where did they still have the heart to be angry, and many people didn't even wear clothes, so they ran for their lives in a panic.
"It's horrible!"
"Oh my God, what the hell is this place?"
……
……
Yan Chixia and Chen Yang, both martial arts practitioners, had already come to the hall as soon as they heard the wind and grass, and the expressions on their faces were also very shocked when they looked at the scene of Sen Luo.
"This is a spooky place, extremely dangerous, get out of here!"
Under Li Xiao's urging, Yan Chixia and Chen Yang did not stop, and took Wu San and ran outside the inn together.
"Don't go, today is the birthday of the old demon of Montenegro, why don't you stay obediently and worship flesh and blood?!"
And at this time, the skeleton ghost wall actually cracked a spatial crack out of thin air, and countless Yin Soul soldiers with blades in their hands slashed at the people who fled in a hurry amid the sinister screams of killing.
It's just that in a few breaths, several officials were cut down by surprise, and the heads of people rolled with grunts, and there was a miserable howl, blood splashed, and the lanterns made of human holsters were stained red, and the blood was overflowing, which was extremely shocking.
Just as Li Xiao was about to leave, he heard a righteous scolding.
"You wait for the ghosts, Hugh has to be in the world, and you don't quickly retreat and die!"
I have to say that this Zuo Qianhu is really a tough guy who is reckless and brave, even at such a dangerous moment, he did not forget to show his bravery, only to see Zuo Qianhu snort softly, shaking the long steel knife in his hand, silver light appeared out of thin air, and the shining knife carried an indomitable fierce knife aura, slashing towards those ghosts.
Several fierce sword qi slashed, and several of the current Yin Spirits were slightly stunned, and they rushed over more and more fiercely, seeing that Sen Sen's ghost was about to run over Zuo Qianhu's body.
"The situation is dangerous, it is not advisable to stay longer, I think it is better to go first!" Li Xiao tapped his toes, his body was like a lightning dragon, and he threw out a few yellow spells with one hand, and the mana ripples that erupted directly shook back the chasing Yin Soul soldiers, and at the same time, he grabbed Zuo Qianhu's shoulder with one hand, and the toes that landed on the ground stepped heavily again, turning into a swift shadow, turning back to the direction, breaking the window, and escaping into the distance.
