215 Conspiracy (I)
In fact, Lin Xi said that because of the word heavy reward, and he was a little worried that he would be rejected, and when he said this, he went down the slope neatly and simply: "You have said it three times, thank you girl...... Don't worry, I said I would send it. ”
After speaking, she remembered again and asked, "By the way, what did you encounter yesterday, why did you get hurt so badly?" ”
Qu Baiyan still thanked him again, and then sighed: "What happened yesterday is really indescribable...... I went out to hunt with my family, but I never wanted to meet a group of savage robbers, who robbed us of our money, not to mention, and did that bad thing to my sister and sister and the maids who brought them out, and then seized the carriage and let the female dependents escape first, and I stayed behind with a few guards. It's just that I didn't expect that the other party still had helpers, and the guards led away most of the people, and one of the two people chasing me fell off the cliff, and the other was too lazy to chase me to save my life. When he fled to this neighborhood, he had already passed out, but when he smelled the fragrance and saw the fire, he tentatively came out...... Fortunately, I didn't see the wrong person, the girl is really a bodhisattva. ”
There are robbers? Wait, sister and sister Yahuan guard, this white smoke is the son of a big family?
Lin Xi rolled his eyes, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and said unintentionally: "Then do you remember where you met those robbers yesterday?" Why don't you take me to see it, if you can exterminate them, it will be convenient for people to enter the mountain in the future and not be killed again. ”
Qu Baiyan didn't answer excitedly this time, but shook his head with a heavy face and said, "It's better not to take risks, girl, when I return to the mansion, it's not too late to gather people to come over and deal with them." ”
"Uh......" Lin Xi thought about it, but nodded first: "Okay, that's fine." ”
It's not that she doesn't fight for it, but does she want to show him how good she is to fight for it? Moreover, there is only one road in this mountain, and the probability of encountering that group of robbers again is more than 60 percent, so it is better to wait for the robbers to appear automatically than to be too concerned about arousing suspicion. And I don't know if she killed those who grabbed it, the Qu family would give her more money, so there was no need to care too much.
Qu Baiyan eased his expression, quietly and calmly finished eating the noodles in his hand, and consciously went to the lake to wash the bowl and then handed it back to her.
After cleaning up the mess, Lin Xi stood up, took out a set of unworn men's clothes from his bag and handed it over: "Although the fabric is average and the style is not very good, let's put it on." "It's better than swaying in a tattered bloody suit, but I didn't expect this men's outfit to come in handy.
Qu Baiyan was very demeanor, and was not frightened by her behavior of putting things and taking things at will, but calmly took the clothes, and after saying thank you, he walked behind the bushes to change his clothes, and then walked uphill and back to the road with her.
Even if Lin Xi knew that she would conjure a horse out of thin air, Qu Baiyan would not say anything, but she only had one horse, and it was absolutely impossible for her to ride with him, so let's walk together.
And I have eaten and drunk enough, plus the weather is fine, the environment is pleasant, and there are people as companions to chat occasionally, so I don't feel tired all the way.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the group of robbers to destroy the atmosphere, Lin Xi would have the illusion that they were dating.
Qu Baiyan seemed to be a little machismo, and when he saw the group of robbers with obscene appearance and rude actions, he subconsciously stopped Lin Xi behind him, and said in a deep voice: "All the money has been handed over to you yesterday, why are you still so entangled?" ”
The leader couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "This time we are only for the girl behind you, not for money, you better flash aside, maybe our brothers will spare your life, otherwise we don't mind playing with a man and killing you again!" ”
Thinking that it was because of himself that he had affected Lin Xi, Qu Baiyan's face turned pale in an instant, and he trembled and grabbed Lin Xi's arm and whispered: "Girl, you run, I'll stop them." ”
Lin Xi had already pulled out his sword, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard it: "You don't know how to stop martial arts?" Forget it, you step aside first, and I'll deal with them. ”
"Huh?" Qu Baiyan turned his head to look at her in surprise, "But ......"
Knowing that he didn't believe that she was so powerful, Lin Xi didn't bother to convince him, and pushed people aside without waiting for him to finish speaking, and he used his strength to jump up and swing his sword to attack the dozen or so robbers. She is not reckless, but she has already looked at the attributes in advance, and found that the level of these people is only level fifty, although she has not tried to fight so many low-level monsters at one time, but I believe that with her current level of seventy-six, it is still possible to deal with it.
When the robbers saw that she was skilled in martial arts and tried to attack them, they first subconsciously stepped back, then showed an excited expression, and when she reached the front and back of her, they surrounded her and greeted her as if they were teasing her.
It turns out that underestimating the enemy is always not a good result.
And this time it was not for Lin Xi himself, but for the group of robbers who thought they were strong and numerous.
Sword qi is this thing, the closer it gets, the more powerful it will be, plus Lin Xi unceremoniously used the newly learned group attack sword technique - Bi Scar Sword Technique at the beginning, and opened the cold sword that can resist physical attacks, the robbers who are a little farther away have not had time to hit Lin Xi and are instantly thrown out by the strong sword qi ten meters away, and the closer ones were first bounced back, and then several sword qi attacks in succession, and the hard ones fell and could still hold on to their last breath to get up, and the thin ones could only lie on the ground and survive.
Lin Xi didn't care what their situation was, but swung out the three moves of the Bijin Sword Technique like flowing water without distraction, the faster he moved in the back, and the more and more sword qi appeared, it seemed to be flying in the sky without any rules, but each sword qi was very accurate to hit the robbers who tried to fight back again.
At first, Qu Baiyan was worried and wanted to come forward to help, but after seeing this situation, he consciously retreated, so as not to help at all, but to drag his feet.
When Lin Xi's movements stopped, the robbers were already half-wounded, and she didn't waste her spiritual power to use swordsmanship, so she stepped forward and solved the robbers who fell to the ground with a sword.
It had been less than ten minutes since the battle started and ended, and I didn't know whether to say that they were too weak, or if it was supposed to be the case with seventy-six against fifty.
Lin Xi shrugged helplessly, put away his sword, and checked whether there were any remaining undead people while touching the corpse. What I didn't expect was that the robbers in the deep mountains and old forests were quite rich, and they were a bunch of them, either gold and silver ingots or all kinds of real gold and silver jewelry and jade jewelry, and even after touching several of them, Lin Xi suddenly woke up and probably knew who these things belonged to.
"Qu Gongzi?" Lin Xi turned his head to look at Qu Baiyan, who still didn't dare to step forward, and said with a smile: "It's okay, come here." ”
Qu Baiyan came back to his senses and stepped forward a few steps, just wanted to praise Lin Xi, but was intercepted by Lin Xi first: "Look, are these things snatched from you and your family?" ”
When she said this, Qu Baiyan noticed the things on the ground, squatted down and looked at it for a while, and then said with certainty: "Yes, the jewelry has the logo of my Qu family on it, as for the money...... The girl accepts it, the jewelry is because it is my family's favorite, and it is used old, so it is inconvenient to give it to the girl, and when I return to Qufu, I will choose another heavy gift to thank the girl, okay? ”
Qu Baiyan is just an NPC who may not see each other again after meeting in Pingshui, and being too polite is his own loss, so Lin Xi picked out the money without saying a word, and thanked him very calmly: "Thank you Qu Gongzi." ”
Seeing that she was so easy to speak, Qu Baiyan was also relieved, and peeled off a robber's clothes to wrap up all those jewelry, although it was not much, it was also quite heavy. Seeing that he was carrying the package with great difficulty, Lin Xi couldn't help but take it from his hand with a smile: "Let me keep it for the time being, and then return it to you when I get to your house." ”
Qu Baiyan's trust in her is full marks, and she is not suspicious and sincerely thanks.
And the robbers will appear, which means that they are not far from the mountain, thinking that there should be no danger in the future, Lin Xi let the horse out for Qu Baiyan to ride, and he ran behind him with light skills. The speed was accelerated, and the road was safe and smooth, and after a while, the two of them left the layers of peaks behind, and came to the main road leading to Qujia Town, where Qufu was located.
Seeing that it was another small town, Lin Xi couldn't help but be happy, Wei Mei said that he was also in a town, could it be that Qujia Town?
Qu Baiyan was in a hurry to go home, Lin Xi was in a hurry to go to the town to find the charm, both of them accelerated forward in unison, and it didn't take long to get to the entrance of the town, and there were not many families here, but obviously the relationship between each family was good.
And it was precisely because there were few families that Qu Baiyan's home was in the innermost compound, so Lin Xi was also disappointed to learn that Wei Mei was not here.
"Girl, girl?"
"Huh?" Lin Xi reacted and turned his head to look at Qu Baiyan, "What's wrong?" ”
Qu Baiyan said with a smile: "I've already arrived at the mansion below, if you don't mind, can you follow Qu into the mansion and rest for a while?" ”
She is still waiting for the so-called heavy reward, of course she doesn't mind going in and waiting, and as for the charm, she can continue to go on the road to find it when she gets the money. Thinking like this, Lin Xi nodded and said, "Okay, that's bothering." ”
Qufu is not as good as the big families in the main city, whether it looks from the outside or from the inside, but in this small town with only a dozen or so households, it can already be regarded as the most outstanding courtyard. Coupled with the fact that the family carried so much money and jewelry with them when they went out to play, as well as guards, it can be seen that the heavy reward she was counting on would definitely not disappoint her.
It's just that she doesn't know what will happen after entering Qufu now, and if she knew, she would definitely not choose to follow up.
