Chapter 315: Blending into the Zhong Mansion
The two soldiers did not return directly to the City Lord's Mansion, but walked out of the city along a path on the outskirts of the city, and Ling Yu quietly followed in the direction they had left. The two scolded along the way, complaining about the hard work of being a soldier, and at the same time criticizing the Oiran products of several brothels in the city, and did not find Ling Yu not far behind them. The two turned left and right, and finally stopped in front of a winery with a rich aroma.
"You're still a great kid, and you can even find such a hidden little brewery. But seriously, the winery is really fragrant, and it's definitely pure grain!" said one of the soldiers to the other.
"Of course, my name as a wine fairy is not called in vain! Later, after we finish drinking, we will go to the city lord's mansion to report the way, and I invite you to go to the Chunfeng Building to have a round." Yesterday there was a stunning little beauty, I heard that I bought it from Zhongzhou, that figure, that voice, tsk, what a ecstasy!" The other soldier had a lewd smile on his face, his eyes glowed green, he couldn't help but wipe his saliva, and said to the soldier beside him.
"You kid, you kid, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, since you are bleeding so much today, I have to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, hahaha......" The two let out a shrill laugh and walked towards the tavern.
Ling Yu looked at the winery, although the area was not large, the aroma of wine coming from it was indeed very sweet. Ling Yu is also a good drinker, so he naturally knows that the quality of this wine is extremely high, so it is no wonder that these two soldiers have come here to drink wine from miles away. He did not enter the winery, but waited patiently in the bushes outside, knowing that since the two of them were buying wine to drink, they would naturally come out soon.
Ling Yu waited in the bushes for about a quarter of an hour before finally seeing the two soldiers staggering out. When the two walked out of the winery, they were followed by an old man. The old man had a smile on his face, and although his eyes flashed with anger and helplessness, he didn't dare to let the two soldiers see it. It seems that the two of them have already drunk a lot of wine in the winery, and the two jars of wine in their hands should have been taken with them.
The two soldiers walked out of the winery and waved their hands at the old man casually, their expressions of indifference seemed to regard the old man as a dispensable person, a kind of self-esteem of a person who looked down on the weak.
Looking at the backs of the two of them gradually moving away, a trace of resentment flashed in the old man's eyes, he clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, and then suddenly spat on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Soldiers like you who are rampant and domineering, and the people will be punished sooner or later!" The old man was just an ordinary person, and in the face of these soldiers who existed like bandits in the city, he showed more helplessness and hatred, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
Seeing the old man sigh lightly, he turned around and walked back to the winery. Ling Yu flashed out and chased in the direction the two soldiers had left. Through the old man's expression and words, Ling Yu could guess that the two said that they were coming to the wine shop to buy wine, but in fact, they were here to get wine, and they didn't pay the old man at all. Their identity and this bandit-like behavior make the old man helpless, and everything in the world is the difficulty of ordinary people.
The two cursed as they walked afloatly toward the city. Ling Yu exuded his divine sense, locked on the two of them with his qi, and hung himself far behind. The dragon and crouching tiger are hidden in the Four Elephant City, and Ling Yu does not dare to get too close to the two of them, for fear of being discovered by others and exposing the target. When the night came, torches lit on both sides of the city's roads. At this time, Ling Yu was like a very patient wolf, he was waiting for an opportunity to kill with one blow.
The two soldiers turned left and right, came to the gate of the city lord's mansion, greeted the two soldiers guarding the door, and walked into the mansion. Ling Yu glanced up at the majestic City Lord's Mansion and hid aside to wait for the two to return.
After a short time, the two soldiers walked out of the city lord's mansion, and the two couldn't help but complain as they walked out.
"Why did you say that this big city lord has become so cautious now, isn't it just a fledgling boy from the Northern Regions, I heard that he is from the Far North, what is there to fear about people living in that barren land?"
"I can't say that, I heard that the young master disregarded the ancestral teachings and released all the Void Beasts, but even so, he still couldn't kill that kid, and he was killed by him in front of the Void Beast!"
When the cultivator mentioned the Void Beast and Zhong Muyang, he cautiously looked left and right, for fear that Zhong Zifan would hear it and bring back his sad past, so he would be angry with them.
Seeing that there was no one around, the soldier continued: "The city lord heard that the kid has been appointed as the protector of the country by the country lord Chu Mingxuan, but for some reason, this news has not been made public. The reason why the city lord wanted to put that kid to death so urgently was to avenge the young city lord before the news of him becoming a protector spread to the world. If the news spreads after a while, it will be difficult for the city lord to start. ”
The two were talking as they walked towards the city's famous fireworks alley. The two soldiers did not take the main road, but took a shortcut and shuttled through the alley, which also gave Ling Yu the opportunity to make a move. The two of them talked and laughed, unaware of the danger. When the two entered a dark alley, Ling Yu suddenly appeared in front of them with a fish leap, blocking their way.
"Hey, aren't you the one who crossed over just now?Why did you stop us??," The soldier said drunkenly as he identified Ling Yu's appearance by the light of the fire outside the alley.
"Find someone!" Ling Yu said in a cold voice with a cruel smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Looking for someone, who are you looking for?" Seeing Ling Yu's smile, the two of them unconsciously felt a chill down their spines, they swallowed their saliva fiercely, and asked tremblingly.
"Enemy!" Ling Yu moved his neck and slowly approached the two.
"We don't know you, and we have no grudges, why are you looking for your enemy to stop us?" The two instinctively sensed that Ling Yu was not easy to mess with, and they asked vigilantly as they retreated.
"Because that's what I'm looking for!" Ling Yu suddenly smiled, revealing a row of small white teeth, which were particularly dazzling in the dim light.
"Don't!ah!" As two screams sounded from the deep alley, Ling Yu's cold voice came out faintly: "Don't worry, you won't die immediately, because I still have more things to know from your mouths." ”
About a cup of tea had passed, and Ling Yu walked out of the deep alley with a smile on his face, and he walked towards the jungle in the distance with a soldier in his hand.
As a Kui Xing Realm cultivator, Ling Yu had countless ways to deal with the two soldiers, and it only took a few people to walk into the jungle for a stick of incense, and Ling Yu came up with a list of all the people who had killed the people of that village from their mouths.
Ling Yu walked out of the jungle, looked back at the corpses of the two people in the forest, and said softly: "Murderers are always killed, don't blame me for being cruel, the blood and original sin in your hands must be repaid with your lives." "At this time, the alley was full of people and singing and dancing, and no one noticed what was happening in the jungle not far away. Ling Yu's deep eyes looked at the equally deep starry sky, he sighed softly and disappeared into the vast night.
After Ling Yu killed the two soldiers, he did not return to the restaurant as agreed, but walked in the opposite direction of the restaurant. In fact, he had deceived Wu Dao and the others before, and when he left the village, the anger in Ling Yu's body had already reached its peak, although he said that he would not make a move until tomorrow, but in fact, he couldn't wait for a moment. The tragic situation of the villagers when they were dying haunted his mind, and he felt that something had to be done for these innocent and tragic deaths. And the reason why he didn't tell Wu Dao and the three of them was because he didn't want to involve them, because he felt that he could avenge these village names, and there was no need to let Wu Dao and them take risks with him.
According to the two dead soldiers, a total of thirty-one of them participated in the massacre that day. The leader is named Zhong Wu, who is a distant relative of Zhong Zifan, although this person's cultivation is not high, but he is insidious and ruthless, and he is deeply favored by Zhong Zifan. And this man has a hobby, that is, he likes to collect the strange treasures of the world, and it is said that he has a small vault, which is full of magic weapons that are hard to find in the world.
Ling Yu found Zhong Wu's residence as the soldier said, swaggered to the door, and rushed in without raising his head. At this time, he changed his appearance after changing his appearance, and he would never recognize him with Zhong Wu's cultivation.
"Stop, what are you doing? Hey, what about you! You don't have long ears! Are you deaf?" Just as Ling Yu was about to step up the steps, he was suddenly stopped by two Zhong family cronies guarding the door.
"Get out! You two don't open your eyes, think that you weren't born when I was with Xiao Wuzi in open crotch pants and mud! If I anger Lao Tzu, I'll abolish you all!" Ling Yu widened his eyes and shouted loudly.
The two cronies saw Ling Yu facing the ferocious and arrogant, and they were suppressed for a while. They have been dealing with Zhong Wu all year round, and they know that this person is moody and extremely murderous, if the man in front of him is really Zhong Wu's friend, if he annoys him, it is estimated that the two of them will die. Thinking of this, the two of them changed their previous arrogance and surrounded Ling Yu with a flattering face.
"This master, you are angry, I heard that there is an enemy of the fifth master who is going to return to the northern region from Zhongzhou recently, and the fifth master has been annoyed recently, so he sent us to wait here. You don't remember the villain, don't be like my two subordinates, don't be impatient, we will go to inform the fifth master and ask him to invite you in. The cronies nodded to Ling Yu and gave him a look at the other person, motioning for him to report.
"It's pretty much the same, hurry up, Lao Tzu still has something to do!" Ling Yu saw that he had frightened the two cronies, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he sat down on the steps and said impatiently.
Another cronie pushed open the door and headed towards the house. The world didn't last long, and the cronie walked back quickly. Behind him, followed by a middle-aged man. This person is six feet tall, with a sturdy body, and a face of horizontal flesh, which you can tell at a glance that it is definitely not a good type. He was dressed in a dark red silk robe, holding a ghost-headed mountain knife in his hand, with a puzzled expression on his face. Seeing the groveling attitude of his cronies towards him, this person must be Zhong Wu.
"Oh, Fifth Master, it's been a long time. You said in Chunfeng Building before that I would help you find rare objects in the world, not to mention, it was like I found it. Look at it, is this okay?" Ling Yu saw Zhong Wu walking out of the door, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, the level of enthusiasm seemed to be really Zhong Wu's friend. As he spoke, he held the mysterious ancient lamp he had obtained from the weasel Taoist in his palm.
Zhong Wu was worried in the study before, and heard that Ling Yu was going to return to the Northern Regions from Zhongzhou, if he knew that the people of that village were killed by himself, he would definitely try his best to come to him for revenge. At this moment, a cronie suddenly reported that someone had visited. Hearing his cronies describe Ling Yu's appearance, Zhong Wu racked his brains and couldn't remember when he had such a friend. However, he felt that this was the Four Elephant City, which was heavily guarded, and there should be no accidents, so he followed his cronies to the door. When he saw Ling Yu, he confirmed that he really didn't know him, but Ling Yu's serious appearance made him have doubts. Could it be that this person is the wine and meat friend he met in Chunfeng Lou before? Otherwise, why does he know his hobbies, and he still speaks clearly.
And when Ling Yu held the mysterious ancient lamp in the palm of his hand, Zhong Wu's eyes lit up. Although his cultivation is not high, his eyes are very vicious, and when he raised his eyes, he knew that this ancient lamp was absolutely extraordinary.
After seeing the ancient lamp, Zhong Wu hurriedly put on a smiling face and said in a rough voice: "Yes, it's been a long time, I just said it casually, but I didn't expect my brother to take it seriously." Let's take a walk, this is not a place to talk, let's go in and talk in detail, and talk about the old days!"
Zhong Wu looked at the mysterious ancient lamp, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, he made a gesture of invitation to Ling Yu, and walked towards the mansion.
Ling Yu looked at Zhong Wu's departing back, a smile of incomprehensible meaning rose at the corner of his mouth, and followed Zhong Wu into the mansion......
