Chapter 124, Black Shop
The wind is blowing, and the dress is light.
The girl in purple walked steadily and elegantly, and her hands naturally fell on her abdomen. Although she was wearing a hat, she held her head up and walked steadily ahead with her eyes ahead. With each step, the jade pendant on the girl's waist collided and tinkled. The long skirt fluttered behind her. In this small station, the girl is particularly eye-catching.
The white gauze hat flew, mixed with the girl's long jet-black hair fluttering back. The girl paused slightly at the top of the stairs, lifted her skirt and went upstairs. She bowed her head slightly, and when she stepped up the first flight of stairs, the white scarf on the hat was blown away by the wind, and in just a few seconds, the group could see her face.
Deserved... Stunning beauty.
At a glance, many male guests in the post station were very ape-like, and some even put the food next to their mouths but forgot to put it in their mouths. His gaze turned to the quiet and dignified maid beside the girl, and quickly stayed on the girl.
Someone was ready to move and talk to him. As soon as he got up, there was a clear and cold sound of swords colliding in his ears - everyone subconsciously looked over. The bright-looking but indifferent woman in the dark clothes leaned in front of the counter, casually fiddling with the short knife in her hand, and showed them an unfriendly smile: "Sorry, my hand slipped." β
Banxia, a woman in Xuanyi, casually inserted the short knife into the counter, and beckoned to Gu Mingxiu's master and servant who had already gone upstairs: "Girl, if you have any orders, just call me." The Mozhu girl is too, the slave is the master's person, just call Banxia. β
Gu Mingxiu's pace paused, glanced at her, and said in a low voice, "I'm tired." β
The girl's voice is cold and clean, very moving.
"Shopkeeper." Banxia turned his head, glanced at the counter and stared at the short knife stuck in the counter, raised his hand and pulled out the short knife without any care, and said with a smile, "Send some food to my girl, my girl's taste is not heavy, just prepare some light food, and then prepare some food for our brothers - after a day's journey, everyone is hungry." β
She touched her pocket and threw out a bag of silver happily: "Oh, it's not enough to ask me again, move faster." β
"Hey, hey!" The shopkeeper was still a little afraid, but when he saw the bag full of silver, his eyes quickly lit up, and he quickly put it away, and happily called Xiao Er, "Guest officer, wait a minuteβXiao Er!" Take you all to rest! β
"Master, do you want to send someone to follow Miss Gu Wu?" Seeing that Banxia's order was ready, Luo Feng came to Shen Huai's side and asked in a low voice.
Shen Huai glanced at the people who had long disappeared over there: "No need, they can't go far, nothing will happen." The young man hooked the corners of his lips and chuckled casually, "Something is going to happen..... It won't be now, either. β
Luo Feng will understand.
As Shen Huai said, Gu Liyi and Qiao Wu did not go far.
After turning a few corners and going up a small slope, Gu Liyi looked curiously left and right, his eyes flashing with excitement that could not be concealed. Qiao Wu followed behind her slowly, and when he saw that she finally stopped in one place, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and sat down casually: "I have lived two lifetimes, how can I still be like a child." β
"You know what." Gu Liyi didn't even look at him, just looked around curiously.
"In the previous life, Gu Mingxiu never lived to be thirty years old, and you are only this age, so you should be said to be calmer." Qiao Wu looked at her lazily and sneered, "Look at you, as if you didn't go out." β
Gu Liyi squatted aside and looked at the small bush in front of him, and was stunned for a while before he slowly spoke: "What you said is not bad, I really haven't been out." She looked at the insects crawling on the leaves, "In the last life, I didn't have much chance to play, I have been following Gu Changge to stay quietly in the Gu Mansion, stupidly being her hostage to suppress Sister Xiu without knowing it." All I know... Sister Xiu encounters a lot of things every day, and Gu Changge needs me to lobby to... Sister Embroidery. β
"I thought that although I lost my biological mother and was at odds with my sister-in-law, my mother-in-law treated me more attentively than my biological mother, and my sister-in-law was much better than my sister-in-law..... I thought I was living happily, but I didn't live much for myself until I died. Gu Liyi picked up a small branch, poked the leaf with insects, and chuckled lowly, "But this life is different." β
Her voice suddenly brightened, and she was proud: "In this life, I have Sister Embroidery, Sister Embroidery allows me to do a lot of things I am willing to do, I don't want to be unhappy, Sister Embroidery will make fun of me." In this life, I am no longer confined to that small mansion, I can also walk a lot of places and see a lot of new things! β
Qiao Wu looked at her back, was slightly silent for a moment, and laughed: "You are still young, you will see more beautiful scenery and meet more interesting people." β
"In this life... Your fate will not be the same as in the previous life. The man chuckled lowly, his voice soft.
"I promise."
When the two of them turned around the station, everyone ate about the same. Talking and laughing all the way into the door, Luo Feng, who was guarding at the door, smiled at Gu Liyi and pointed upstairs: "Fifth Miss go upstairs to eat, the girl is waiting to eat with you." Just upstairs and turn right into the second room. β
"Ahh It's hard work! Gu Liyi smiled at Luo Feng, waved his hand at Qiao Wu and ran over quickly.
The girl in pink is lively and bright, her steps are as brisk as the wind, her tone is well-behaved and her smile is sweet, and her smile is full of vitality, which makes people feel a little energetic. She hurried upstairs with an innocent look.
Luo Feng also laughed for a while, and watched her go up.
Qiao Wu yawned and slowly regained Luo Feng's attention: "Then, what about mine?" β
Chatting so happily with the future young lady of my family, and robbing the lady with my master, and now coaxing the future young lady's sister to be so happy, I don't pay attention to whether my master is happy or not, you still want to eat..... Luo Feng rolled his eyes in his heart, and the expression on his face was perfunctory: "Oh, those who arrive late have no food." β
Qiao Wu: ".......??? β
At night, there was little movement in the inn, and only a few men were left cleaning the hall. After a while, the night wind rose, and the lanterns outside the post station were blown out by the wind silently, and the post station fell into a dead silence.
"How?"
"It's all down."
After two very short conversations, the fire fold quietly lit up in the hall. The black-clad people gathered around the black veil, holding knives in their hands, and their posture was full of ferocity. They gathered in the hall on the first floor, and the leader looked at the upstairs coldly, and laughed twice: "Those little girls are tied up first, and the rest are killed, and the horses and belongings are emptied." β
"Big brother, don't worry, the amount of medicine is full, I'm afraid I won't wake up in three or five days." One of them let out a lewd laugh, "Big brother, don't be afraid that the little girl will ruin her interest by screaming." β
"Okayβ"
"Hush."
Before the leader could finish what he had said, a low sneer suddenly came to mind in the air, very short, but the mockery in his tone was not suppressed at all, but seemed to be deliberately made for them to hear. There was silence in the crowd for a moment, and then I heard another regret: "I thought someone had sent it... It turned out to be just a black house, but it was boring. β
"Who?!" The crowd turned around, raised their torches, and shone on the sound.
In just a few moments, many torches lit up in the hall. Someone lights up the surrounding lights, and it is a brightly lit image. Only then did I see that in the hall, except for a few people in the middle who covered their faces with scarves, the rest of the people did not hide their identities, as if they were the shopkeepers and customers of the post station during the day.
There were a lot of people around the second floor, but it was Banxia, a woman in Xuanyi, who spoke, looking at their group of people with a smile: "Master, it's all clear, it's just that a group of thieves opened a black house and murdered passers-by, but there is nothing suspicious." β
At the staircase on the second floor, the young man leaning on the pillar casually played with the dagger in his hand, his masked face was emotionless, and he smiled a little coldly: "Then kill it." He said it lightly, not caring about the lives of the dozens of people below, "Clean up, don't scare people." β
"You .......!" The leader was taken aback, and his eyes widened to shout something, "You are notββ! β
"Come on!" Banxia interrupted the man's words with a smile, and his tone was quite regretful, "Your tricks are not useful to everyone." If you want to make money and kill people, you have to weigh your strength, right? Tut-tut, it's okay, it's all done, don't make a noise to the girls to rest. β
Shen Huai straightened up, his eyes were slightly cold: "Do it." β
"Yes!"
The people around instantly took out their weapons and flew down towards the group of people downstairs, moving silently and quickly, quietly starting a one-sided fight. However, there were a few panicked and frightened screams, and the sound of trying to escape and colliding with the jar.
The sound downstairs was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the night.
From time to time, the screams and cries were accompanied by the sound of the jar shattering to the ground, which was somewhat faint in the wind. Mo Zhu packed up the bed and glanced downstairs worriedly. Agarwood stood in front of the door and shook her head, but did not speak.
Gu Liyi heard the movement, instantly raised her head from the quilt shop, and looked at Gu Mingxiu with some surprise and panic: "Sister embroidery? β
"Don't care." Gu Mingxiu was writing and annotating in front of the table, his expression was faint, and he was not affected at all, "If Shen Huai can't solve these problems, it will be in vain to take the name of the head of his brocade guard." It has nothing to do with us, don't be afraid. She foreshadowed and looked up at the sky, "It's not early, go to sleep." β
Looking back at the hesitation on Gu Liyi's face, Gu Mingxiu smiled lightly: "Agarwood, you send Yiyi back to the room." β
"Sister Xiu, can't I sleep with you?" Gu Liyi hugged the quilt, his face full of grievances.
"Naturally, I don't dislike it." Gu Mingxiu closed the pages of the book and laughed softly.
"That's good!" Gu Liyi straightened up, his face showing joy, "Agarwood, you go and talk to Lingqiao, ask her to come and sleep with Mozhu and you, she must be more scared than me at night." β
Agarwood nodded and went out.
She had just left the corner when she caught a strange sound, and before she paused, Mo Zhu's exclamation came in an instant-
"Girl!!"
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
