Chapter 17: The Evil Sacrifice
Since the time flow rate of the real world is not much different from the world of "Jianghu", Jiang Xiaoyu knew that it was late at night after entering the game.
Jiang Xiaoyu thought about it, put on a black robe prepared in the safe house, and quickly rushed to an inn.
He hadn't forgotten that there was an inn where he had the information he needed.
Soon.
Jiang Xiaoyu came to the vicinity of an inn.
However, even if it was late at night, he did not dare to enter the inn so blatantly, but lingered around for a long time.
Eventually, he spotted a few people standing outside the door of an inn, squatting in a corner where few people noticed.
There is no doubt that these must be the subordinates of the Zhang family and Zhou Haoran, who were placed at the door, in order to wait for him who might return to the inn.
Jiang Xiaoyu stood in the corner and muttered for a moment.
Suddenly, he smiled, sank into his dantian, and shouted in his loudest voice: "Jiang Zhuliu, don't run!" ”
"Jiang Zhuliu?"
"Where?"
The spies outside an inn were shocked, and Huo Ran turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from.
At this moment, they saw a black shadow that rushed by like lightning, so they immediately did not dare to stop, and immediately chased after it.
As they all chased after the black shadow and hurried away, a thin figure appeared from a no-man's corner.
This figure is Jiang Xiaoyu.
At this time, he was standing opposite an inn, his face full of smiles.
"Tut-tut, these guys are really intellectually impressive."
Jiang Xiaoyu sighed with emotion, and saw that there was no one around to guard him, so he walked into an inn that was on the verge of closing.
"Shopkeeper, I'm here." Jiang Xiaoyu saw at a glance the shopkeeper who was standing straight at the counter.
"Little sir, please come here."
When the shopkeeper saw Jiang Xiaoyu appear, he was not surprised, but led Jiang Xiaoyu to a room hidden in the kitchen.
Jiang Xiaoyu saw an old man with a ruddy face and a strong spirit here.
"Shopkeeper, I brought the people." The shopkeeper's calm expression instantly became extremely respectful, and he greeted the old man.
"You stand down first." The old man said lightly.
The shopkeeper nodded, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at the old man, and always felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, and the embarrassment was about to be committed, so he pretended to ask lightly: "Shopkeeper, what do you call it?" ”
"The surname is Li, and the name is Mu Qing." The old man said.
"Ji Fu recites, Mu is like a breeze." Jiang Xiaoyu unabashedly patted his ass, "Good name." ”
This is a figure at the level of an innkeeper, such a status is much stronger than him, a thief saint with an unjustified name, and he can be called the number one person in the entire Southern Regions, not to mention that in this Qingshan City, he can definitely be regarded as a thick thigh.
Having a good relationship with such a character will be of great benefit to your future development.
Since Jiang Xiaoyu has no contradictions and conflicts with the other party, why not sell it and be familiar?
"You kid, it's funny."
Li Muqing laughed, then the laughter gradually stopped, cleared his throat, and said, "Do you want to know the news of the deadly scholar, Zhou Haoran?" ”
"That's right." Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, "I have a grudge against him." ”
"I have a general understanding of this matter." Li Muqing glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu deeply, and said lightly, "Right and wrong aside, for the information you want to get, the offer of our inn is not ordinary." ”
"Money is not an issue." River small fish road.
When Zhou Haoran asked him to make a move before, he had paid a deposit of 10,000 taels of gold, and with this 10,000 taels in hand, Jiang Xiaoyu was not afraid that he would not be able to give the money.
"Good." Li Muqing nodded and said, "Plus the deposit you gave before, and give me an extra thousand taels of gold, and you can know what you want to know." ”
"No problem."
When Jiang Xiaoyu heard this number, he gritted his teeth in pain, this number was exchanged for credits in the real world, but it was a full thousand.
In order to take revenge, the young man who could hold a grudge decisively took out ten gold cards from his arms, put them on the table and pushed them in front of Li Muqing.
In the world of "Jianghu", a card represents a hundred amounts of currency. For example, one hundred taels of gold equals one gold card, and one hundred taels of silver equals one silver card.
After all, if it really involves large-scale trading, there are too many gold and silver to make it easy for surprises to happen. Thus, the concept of "card" was born.
The material of the "card" is an extremely rare material, which is difficult to be imitated, so it can circulate throughout the rivers and lakes.
When Li Muqing saw the ten gold cards representing a thousand taels of gold, he didn't have the slightest wavering in his heart, and his face did not change, as if a thousand taels of gold was just a small amount of money.
He lightly pressed the ten gold cards under the palm of his hand, tapped his index finger on the wooden table, and said with a slight smile: "What do you want to know, ask." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyu put away his relaxed demeanor, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What does Zhou Haoran want to do?" What was his purpose in taking Zhang Lingzhi? ”
"This point starts with Zhou Haoran's background." Li Muqing said.
"His background?" Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned, "What is his background?" ”
"Sacrifice to the Heavenly Alliance." Li Muqing said.
"Sacrifice to the Heavens?"
Jiang Xiaoyu recalled for a moment, a look of horror flashed across his face, and he said in extreme shock: "Is that the Demon Sect that was collectively blocked by all the righteous sects in the Southern Regions?" ”
"That's right." Li Muqing said, "According to the investigation of one of our inns, we found that Zhou Haoran has a connection with the Heaven Sacrifice Alliance, and his current strength position in the twenty people list seems to have the operation of the Heaven Sacrifice League behind the scenes. ”
"But what does all this have to do with Zhang Lingzhi?" Jiang Xiaoyu was puzzled.
"Do you know why the Heaven Sacrifice Alliance was collectively blocked by the Southern Regions Righteous Dao Sect?" Li Muqing asked him.
Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head.
He only knew that the Heavenly Sacrifice Alliance was a demon sect, and when the Heavenly Sacrifice League was rampant in the Southern Regions, its terrible reputation could even make people frightened and cry.
"The greatest evil of the Heavenly Sacrifice Alliance is not their arrogance and domineering, but their inhumane teachings." When Li Muqing said this, his tone became slightly heavy, "Since it is called Sacrifice to the Heavens, then there is naturally a sacrifice." ”
When Jiang Xiaoyu heard this, he seemed to understand something, and suddenly raised his head.
"Their sacrifice is a man." Li Muqing said word for word, "In their eyes, ordinary people are just inferior sacrifices, boys and girls are medium sacrifices, and girls born in the lunar calendar are superior sacrifices." Do you understand when I say that? ”
"You mean, Zhang Lingzhi is their sacrifice?" Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and a flame rose in his heart.
"Yes, the pearl of the Zhang family in Red Leaf City was born on the lunar calendar." Li Muqing said slowly, "Plus she is the little princess of the Zhang family in Red Leaf City, and her status is extraordinary, and she is the first-class sacrifice in the eyes of everyone in the Heavenly Sacrifice Alliance." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu was silent for a long time, and her voice was a little dry: "She, is she still alive?" ”
"Alive."
Li Muqing said: "According to our investigation, the Heaven Sacrifice Alliance has a stronghold in Qingshan City, and Zhou Haoran has lived there recently. Of course, Zhang Lingzhi is also in that house. ”
As he spoke, he paused, his voice still calm, and his tone did not show any personal emotion, and then said: "The day of the sacrifice is coming, if you want to save that girl, you must succeed within three days." Otherwise, three days later, the head of the Heavenly Sacrifice Alliance and the elders will arrive in Qingshan City one after another to participate in the sacrifice activities. With your strength, facing a group of first-class masters, there is no chance of victory, and you will definitely die. ”
