Volume 1: Bloody Joy Chapter 11 Shoucai Shop
The book continues from the previous article, the wind and rain continue for days, the thunder and lightning continue to be normal, the black clouds of the Tiangong are pressing, the mud is floating, and a good rain curtain is opened, but I see the shadow of a ghost and a person from a distance.
Let's say that the southern city of the Northern Dynasty is low-lying, and many places have begun to accumulate water and mud.
Most of the people in Nancheng are reluctant to go out on rainy days, and people in other districts are too lazy to run to this Nancheng.
The southeast corner of this Xidu City is already poor, and most of the shops on the street are temporarily closed under this ghost weather, and the same is true for the shops selling longevity materials in Anle Fang.
Zhanhong ran to the longevity store on the north side of the street, jumped up and slammed the door with his shoulder, and his body "purred" and disappeared into the dark part of the house. The five people outside the door followed, holding scimitars in their hands.
It is said that this longevity store faces the street on one side, and there is a door leading to the backyard on the other side, bypassing the shadow wall. The side facing the street was all on the door panel, except for the one that had been knocked open.
The sky outside the store is gloomy, thunderstorms repeatedly, at this time only a faint light shines into the longevity store, and you can vaguely see several large and small coffins parked on the left and right sides of the front hall of the longevity store, and there are a few figures next to the corner of the wall.
The five people who rushed in then held their breath and moved forward inch by inch, for fear of missing Zhanhong's hiding place.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt pierced the air outside the door, and several figures on the wall under the light showed their true bodies, which were a few paper people with white faces and red faces, they were smiling and looking at the guests in the shop.
Suddenly, one of the five people exclaimed, and the whole person was knocked into the coffin, and then he was hit hard in the face, his eyes were black, and he was no longer able to hold the knife in his hand.
Another flash of lightning broke through the sky, a figure was reflected on the wall, and in a flash of a knife, another person fell to the ground, and the blood stained the pale faces of the paper figures red. The remaining three hurriedly tightened their formation, gathering back to back at the doorway, six eyes looking around.
We must know that the light in this house is not good, but the location of the three of them is at the door, and the light outside the door is thrown into the house.
The nerves of the three in front of them tensed, and suddenly they heard two crossbow strings softly, but they saw that two arrows had been driven deep into the necks of two of them. Look at these two people again, abandon the blade, cover the neck with both hands, but to no avail, only call it a dying struggle, and after a while, the two of them will join hands and return to the yellow spring.
Looking at the last remaining person, seeing the tragic situation of his companion in front of him, he hurriedly retreated out of the door, holding a knife in one hand and a crossbow in the other, and looked into the house with frightened eyes.
Zhanhong folded the two one-handed crossbows he touched and put them on his waist, and picked up the crossbow in the other person's hand from the ground.

Zhanhong sat on the coffin, the wound on his face was not deep, but the right shoulder was indeed a new wound from the old place, and the blood flowed. I saw him raise his hand to tear off a strip of cloth from his clothes, use his left hand and teeth together, and simply bandage the wound on his right shoulder to stop the bleeding. Just as he was trying to catch his breath, suddenly there were a few loud bangs outside the house, and the rest of the door panels were smashed, sawdust flew, and the wind carried the rain into the house.
Looking closely, there were three people standing outside the house, standing in the middle looking familiar, and with a little recollection, it was one of Dong Zhongying's gang yesterday. The three outside the house didn't talk nonsense, picked up the crossbow in their hands and pulled the mechanism, and instantly the rain of arrows shot towards Zhanhong with the momentum of wind and rain. Besides, Zhanhong turned over and squatted down and hid on the other side of the coffin. A few arrows flew above Zhanhong's head, the arrows sank into the wall, and a few were nailed to the wooden coffin impartially.
"Up!" Tao Er gave an order, and the two people on the left and right flashed their blades and rushed into the house.
Hearing the sound, Zhanhong kicked the coffin in front of him, but the two of them did not dodge, each holding the ring-headed machete with both hands, and forcibly split the flying coffin into three pieces, and then rushed towards Zhanhong.
said that it was too late, and Zhanhong was not in a hurry, but was hit by one of them against the wall, and the paper figure standing next to the wall screamed and shattered. Looking at the knife in Zhanhong's hand blocking the opponent's machete, the blade of the machete almost touched the tip of his nose. At the same time, the other person next to him saw the opportunity, raised the machete in his hand high, and slashed at Zhanhong with the momentum of opening the mountain.
Seeing this, Zhanhong gritted his teeth, the knife in his hand withdrew his strength, his head was low, and the person in front of him was still pushing the knife towards Zhanhong with all his might, so he suddenly lost his balance, and the whole person slammed against the wall. The other person next to him didn't have time to put away the knife, and with a good machete, he slashed his accomplice, cutting off half of the back of his accomplice's head, because the space was so compact, this knife also cut off a piece of meat at Zhanhong's left ear.
Zhanhong's ears hurt, but his face revealed a sickly smile, and in ecstasy, he stepped forward with a steel knife in his hand and stabbed out, and with a thunderous roar, the two people in front of him were killed on the spot.
Zhanhong, who pushed away the corpses of the two, touched his left ear with his left hand, looking at his own hand, which was stained with human blood, and he didn't know himself.

The sound of thunder, the continuous rain, knocking on the eaves like a dream, the incense and the lights flickered, the woman leaned against the window and spoke gently: "There are thousands of evils, created by the heart, if the heart does not move, evil will not give birth to ......"
"Zhen'er ......" Zhanhong muttered, "My heart is your heart." β
"What about Frost Order?"
Β·
Tao Er entered the longevity material shop, looked at the almost crazy Zhanhong and said, "Is it worth it that you killed so many people for one horse?"
Zhanhong smiled and said: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, I don't want to do anything with you." β
Coincidentally, when the two were looking at each other, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop led the man to the front hall from the backyard when he heard the sound.
The shopkeeper of Shoucai Shop originally wanted to take advantage of the rainy day to sleep in the cage, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard a strange sound in the shop in front of him, and secretly said in his heart: Could it be that the rain is too big and his house has collapsed?
The sky flashed, and then after a thunderclap, the shopkeeper and the man were already in a different place.
Tao Er looked at the corpse and snorted lightly, although he was shocked that Zhanhong was ruthless, he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately rushed towards Zhanhong, the long sword in his hand was pointed directly at Zhanhong's heart.
Looking back at this Zhanhong, he picked up the attacking long sword with the knife in his right hand, and the figures of the two people were staggered, and the sound of swords clashing was endless.
Β·
A gong sound of "dong dong dong" came from far and near.
There are insurance teams between the squares of Shangjing Xidu in the Northern Dynasty, which are responsible for maintaining public order, extinguishing fires, and preventing disasters on a daily basis.
The sound of the gong in each square is an alarm, and the sound of the gong sounds, and the neighboring communities support each other.
When the Zhenguo army patrolling the city heard the sound of the gong, they would also rush to support. Once the situation is serious, the Zhenguo Army will blow horns on the watchtowers of each main street to transmit the news, informing the eight gates and battalions to move.
Having said that, let's talk about the arch guard of the capital of the Zhengguo capital of the Northern Dynasty - there are three armies in the capital of Jingshi: one is the Zhenguo army guarding the capital, the second is the heavy (chΓ³ng) military army guarding the imperial city, and the third is the Fangzheng army guarding the imperial palace. In addition, the four generals of the Pillar State and the princes and grandsons of the emperor were allowed to form a family army, and there were strict requirements on the number of family troops to be built.
Back to the present, after a while, amid the noisy footsteps, gongs and shouts, a group of people carried out ten corpses from the longevity shop and placed them in a row at the door of the shop. A captain of the Zhenguo Army turned over the corpse's clothes with a horsewhip, and then raised his hand to call the soldiers around him, and commanded: "Hurry up and report the truth...... The soldier was about to receive the order to get on the horse, but was stopped by the captain, he thought for a moment and then said: "Find a few people with quick legs and feet who are also clever, and spread this matter throughout the city, so that more people know about it, the better." β

The thunder faded but the clouds did not disperse, the eaves were still ticking, and the potholes on the road were accumulating water in one place and another.
Dong Zhongying looked at Cao San in surprise, and said, "Tao Er, he ......" His mouth moved but he couldn't make a sound for a long time.
Cao San leaned back in his chair and sighed slowly as he adjusted his posture. The glass crystal glass on the table next to his right hand contained Ceci's white wine, and as he moved, the wine in the glass fluctuated uneasily with him. Behind him, Zhiyan rubbed the gourd hammer stuck behind his waist with both hands, and muttered: "This is a big trouble." Cao San coughed lightly when he heard this, raised his hand and touched the scar on his neck, glanced back at Zhiyan, and then turned his face to Dong Zhongying and said: "Young master, the matter has come to this, it is better to issue a reward order in the ghost market of Xidu, and there will always be someone who can cure him under the heavy reward." β
The room fell into dead silence for a while, and Bowu, who was leaning against the door, was pressed by the atmosphere, and his throat was like a vicious dog, and he suddenly stomped his feet and said loudly: "Just such a dog feeding goods, how much do you want to reward the third brother?"
Cao San looked at Dong Zhongying, who was silent, expressionlessly, and said after thinking for a moment: "Ten thousand gold coins." β
"What?" Bo Wu jumped up and said, his head swaying like a rattle, "No! No, he doesn't deserve it!" As soon as he thought of something, he laughed again, and his eyes lit up, and he said, "Hey, hey, but you said that this thing will work! I said that you have 10,000 gold coins for me! I will go and take his life now!"
Bo Wu was about to go out after speaking, and as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Cao San: "You come back for me!"
"What?" Bauwood craned his neck, puzzled.
Cao San said in a deep voice: "You person, don't be impulsive! and listen to the young master first!" After that, he looked at Dong Zhongying.
A gust of wind blew in the curling smoke that disturbed the incense burner, and although Dong Zhongying's eyes were staring at Cao San, her thoughts didn't know where to fly.
The wind blew the branches and leaves in the courtyard, and the house was silent. Dong Zhongying retracted her gaze, turned her head and closed her eyes, and said, "I'm tired, just listen to Cao San's orders." β
Cao San stood up, raised his hand and rubbed the Yintang acupoint, turned to Zhiyan and said, "Find someone to go to the Nightingale Club and spread the news, we will pay 10,000 gold coins to buy the life of this evil wolf in the name of the Border City Chamber of Commerce." After speaking, he looked at Bo Wu who was leaning against the door and ordered: "Old Wu, don't go anywhere, just serve the young master around you, be careful, never leave an inch, and wait for me to come back." After thinking about it, he said to Zhiyan: "You call Gartnu again, and bring more people to the branch of the Chamber of Commerce in the West City to wait." β
Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and asked with a little confusion, "Wait, wait for what?"
"Wait for that evil wolf, if he throws himself into the net, you will capture and kill him!" Cao San held the silver hilt hanging from his waist with his left hand, stretched out his right hand to the back of his neck and pinched it, let out a long breath, and said to himself: "Well, I also have to go to the Nightingale's meeting." β
