Volume 1 Chapter 20 of the Northern Plains
The unwilling Wang Rui patted Lin Xiaoer's face, and then pulled Wang Rui, who was still in chaos, out of the house, and closed the door before leaving, the atmosphere in the room was dull and terrible.
"I~" The two said in unison, and then they were silent for a while, Zhou Zhe motioned to Xin Chai first and said:
"I need food, horses, a safe place to rest, this is for you. Xin Chai took out a small jade bottle and gave it to Zhou Zhe.
"I'll prepare the food, horses, believe it or not, I'm unintentional. In Longquan Pass, many people have lost their families, and this is not the case outside of me, what are you giving me?Medicine?" Zhou Zhe played with the small bottle, and opened it to look at the transparent liquid inside.
"It's not medicine, it's spiritual liquid, and a bottle of spiritual liquid is enough for a hundred taels of silver. ”
"I'm helping you, it's not for these things, the marshal gave each team an ambiguous order, I don't think he wants to hurt you, or just wants to catch you, I want to know why Yang Jue is chasing you, what did you do?"
"Even if he has a conscience, Yang Jue doesn't have to arrest me now, it's written off. I've committed more crimes, so what about one or two more crimes? It's you, it's best not to spread the word about what happened to me, otherwise I'm afraid Chen Yuanhou won't be able to protect you when you take on an unknown charge, you're just a little sergeant. ”
"I'm afraid it's too late, I was captured by a team of more than 1,000 people, and the thieves were as cunning as foxes, robbed some food, stole horses, and died in the snowfield, and their whereabouts are unknown. Zhou Zhe stretched his waist and half lay down on the chair very comfortably. The person beside him, although he had a raging hatred and murderous aura, Zhou Zhe didn't feel a trace of fear now.
"Have you really only been in the army for a few days? When others look at me, they either look at me with jealousy and hatred, or a murderous confrontation with a knife, or just a cautious deal, and you are the first person to be so comfortable in front of me. Xin Chai looked at the lazy Zhou Zhe curiously. Wang Rui's voice came from outside the door
"Zhou Zhe, I got the food, and Lao Wei sent a leg of mutton, you open the door. ”
"It's coming!" Zhou Zhe got up to open the door, and Xin Chai just watched playfully.
"Crunch!" The door that had been slammed several times opened again, Wang Rui looked at Zhou Zhe who was unscathed, and the worry in his heart was finally put down, and the sergeants with knives outside the door stood sideways on both sides, ready to attack Zhou Zhe laughed.
"Don't make a fuss! Do whatever you have to do! Thank you for me. After Zhou Zhe finished speaking, he took the food and entered the house, and closed the door again. When he turned around, he took a piece of jerky from his plate and chewed it.
"You didn't run, and you ate yourself to dispel my doubts, what do you want to do?"
"I really want to know? Just make a friend! If one day I have a grudge with someone, and I can't beat it, will I ask you for a discount?"
"Well, it's just that being a friend is too risky. If you have a grudge, you should also find something powerful, otherwise it will be too cheap. I'm the number one killer in the world" Xin Chai picked up a piece of jerky and pancakes, but it was unbearable to eat compared to Lin Xiaoer. Zhou Zhe looked stunned, although he didn't see the whole picture clearly, but from the eyes and red lips, he should be a beauty, but this bulging cheek raiser is really speechless.
"Slow down, no one is robbing you. And water. Zhou Zhe poured out some water from his water bladder and gave it to Xin Chai.
"Thank you! ”
"yes! It's not good to eat fast, you will get gas, and then you will fart a lot. Aren't you killers to be secretive, and then take advantage of people's unpreparedness to deliver a fatal blow? ”
"Vulgar! How can there be so much exquisiteness, take the reward, find someone, kill it with a knife, and it is useless to hide if you can't beat it. ”
Zhou Zhe smacked her lips, the process of her killing was like buying a chicken and killing it with one knife, too thin and no meat. Xin looked at the stunned Zhou Zhe and asked
"Or do you think?"
"I thought you would pretend to be someone else's maid, or a passerby, and inadvertently deliver a sudden and fatal blow. You've never been caught doing that before, and you've never been beaten by anyone who can't be beaten?"
"These are good methods, and you can try them when you have the chance. There are a lot of people in this world who want to arrest me, and all of them who don't have the strength to die. You don't want to know who I'm trying to kill this time?"
"Anyway, it's definitely not Chen Dashuai, and it won't be a princess. Do you feel guilty when you kill?"
"No, those who can afford to pay for me, and those who can be worthy of being killed by me, are clean, I'm just a knife, they eat dogs themselves, what do they have to do with me. Boy, it doesn't hurt to tell you, this time I was entrusted by someone to send three formation-breaking arrows to Monge, and the reward is this. Xin Chai took out the dagger, "I wasn't going to tell you, just because of what you said sorry." ”
"Excuse me?"
"Yes, this knife is a sacred relic of my family, I have no reason to refuse, if Chen Yuanhou dies on it, the internal guards should cut themselves to thank the world. The Breaking Array Arrow specializes in breaking the Spirit Array, and there are only three or five people in the world who can do this. And the mission of the bounty killer, can the internal guard know?" Xin Chai sighed, "No one has ever said sorry for the death of my parents, you are the first." ”
"It turns out that this is really a game of chess, the man who died in vain... Zhou Zhe was silent. His village is gone, Lin Xiaoer's village is gone, and the villages of many victims of Longquanguan are gone, who should this account go to? Meng Ge, Chen Yuanhou, Yang Jue, Princess, Emperor, or is it the mastermind behind the award?
"I know what you're thinking, my family is in ruins in this kind of chess game. is also because of Chen Yuanhou, but the sin is not him. ”
"Who's that?"
"Zhou Zhe, you can tell right from wrong, if you leave Longquan Pass one day and go outside to see, you will know the answer, and you will know what you are facing. Sometimes, when you are confused, your life is over. Of course, it's not bad in Longquan Pass, although you occasionally have to fight with orcs here, but at least you can live like a person on your own. Xin Chai obviously didn't want to say more.
"Are you praising me?" Zhou Zhe suddenly smiled, "I don't have so many things on my mind, and that's not what I should care about now, even if I know, what can I do? You don't have to think too much about it. "This mouthful of milk almost made Xin chase milk vomit blood, don't you think too much, didn't I comfort you? This kid is only seventeen or eighteen years old, how did he live to become a human spirit.
"You guy, obviously a child, talk like a freak who has lived for seventy or eighty. ”
"The children of the poor are in charge of the house, aren't you? How old are you?"
"Impolite guy, it's bigger than you. ”
"You know! You can't just ask a woman's age, right? Isn't the holy relic of your family very powerful? I have a web made of spider silk from the northern plains, can you cut it?" Zhou Zhe then took out the spider web from the table next to him.
"Just try it. Xin Chai picked up the corner of the cobweb, and with a slight swing of the dagger, he cut a part of it. Zhou Zhe looked at this dagger in surprise, fortunately he didn't really fight just now, otherwise this exquisite broken net would not be able to trap people at all.
"There is no need to make a fuss, the family heirloom relics are weapons built during the war period of ancient times, and there are not many ancient divine weapons that can be handed down. Your net is still very good. You weren't trying to use this against me, were you?"
"Yes, if you really do it, I'll still have this!" Zhou Zhe took out the lime powder. As a result, Xin Chai burst into laughter.
"Lime powder, street thugs only use this thing, it's really indiscriminate. What else do you add to it? Pepper and chili noodles? That's a lot of abuse. ”
"No way, I don't have spiritual power, I've only been in the army for a few days, the hammer can't be rounded, and the wolf rider only needs to be good, don't talk about the three abuses, I will admit the four abuses. ”
"Surprise does work. ”
"When you encounter a strong enemy, you have to change your thinking. Zhou Zhe pointed to his brain, "Your enemy is so powerful as you describe, you may get twice the result with half the effort with some means." Don't use the rhetoric that you will become stronger, you are getting stronger, others are also getting stronger, you are a person, others are a group of people. ”
"It's not bad, anyway, their group of people never use any light means, it's a way. Boy, you're much brighter than those who only shout righteousness. Thanks!"
"Don't thank me, hehe! hey!" Zhou Zhe smiled embarrassedly, "It's all the credit of our team's collective efforts, otherwise, you can also help them?" Xin Chai suddenly felt that this kid had an idea, and it turned out that he was waiting here!
"I'm only going to kill people, how can I help?"
"This... In fact, we are considered peers, but we are used to working in groups. You are so good, you will definitely have spiritual power! Can you teach her, if you have the opportunity? ”
"This really can't help you, you know almost nothing about spiritual power, there are many kinds of spiritual cultivation, and the focus is also determined by the exercises and people's talents. ”
"It's not that complicated, as long as you help them lead them into the door, everything else depends on creation, you have more strength, you have more physical fitness, and it's good to die one less in the future war. ”
"This can help, but I may leave tomorrow, and I'll see you again later. ”
"Why don't you go to Longquan Pass?"
"Why are you going?" said Xin Chai as he finished eating the last piece of jerky.
"Now that the snow is closing the road, even if you bring two horses and plenty of supplies, you may not be able to find a suitable place to stay, and you have so many enemies. I guess it won't make it that easy for you!
Longquan Pass, as long as you don't commit any crimes, the cats in the refugee camp are safer than anywhere else. Zhou Zhe took out another water bladder and filled Xin Chai with water.
"Which general is here, dare to ask if you have seen a woman in black?" A voice with spiritual power fluctuations came from outside the village, not alarming the scouts in the distance, indicating that there were not many people and they were agile. And the strength that dares to look for people everywhere at this point in time must be good.
Zhou Zhe heard the movement, Xin Chai also heard it, the nerves that had been relaxed seemed to suddenly tense again at this moment, Huo Ran got up and stared at Zhou Zhe. Zhou Zhe shrugged
"It seems that your warm friends are here, and I will entertain them. Do you want to come along?"
"It's better not to go, in case I really do it, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep all night. Xin Chai's words are actually a faint threat.
"Well, too, you can rest!" Zhou Zhe left, and closed the door with him, behind the wall not far away, Wang Rui, Liu Dabeard, and others were waiting for Zhou Zhe.
"What should I do?" Liu Dabeard asked directly on behalf of the others.
"Let's all go and meet people, take a look, Liu Dabeard, you take someone to arrange it, there is a foolproof. Old Wei, do you have any trouble?"
"What? Brother Zhou, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
"Take the archers, surround this cabin, and don't let anyone come near it, and she will eat and drink and give it to you. If she wants to leave, get her a horse. Zhou Zhe said his thoughts in Lao Wei's ear.
"Let's go and see which way the gods are, the wolf riders are raging here, and the heavy snow blocks the road. Wang Rui walked out of the village with his heavy brother in such a big way.
When the group came to the outside of the village, a group of sergeants had already been arranged in a combat form, while the people outside the village were still a little lazy on their horses, but dozens of people, the momentum exuded was not ordinary, obviously they often walked on the knife edge, Wang Rui knew at a glance, and gave Zhou Zhe a careful look. Zhou Zhe also looked at this group of people, although they were lazy, but their strength was probably extraordinary, and the person at the head was a middle-aged man in his forties. Zhou Zhe had a serious face, and shouted directly from thirty steps away vigilantly
"I don't know where you are? "A school of rhetoric peculiar to wartime.
"Under the surname Qi, he is a deacon of the Tianxiong faction, and a thief stole the treasure of my faction and pursued it here. The thief was dressed in black and was a woman. I hope the general will make it convenient for me to inform me of the whereabouts of the female thief. ”
"Well, chasing after the thieves? Or is it a woman? Isn't it tricking me, the north and south of Longquan Pass are all wolf riders, could it be that the woman's brain let the door clamp this time to run here? Your Tianxiong faction is a spiritual cultivator, but you can't catch a little thief, are you doing it carefully?" Zhou Zhe pretended to know more information, in case there was a master like Yang Jue in this group, if he really wanted to make a move, it would be difficult to do it. The middle-aged man surnamed Qi here looked at Zhou Zhe deliberately embarrassed, thinking that he wanted to ask for a bribe, and he was not stingy, so he whispered a few words to a young man in his thirties, and sure enough, the young man got off the horse and trotted to Zhou Zhe, and then was stopped by Wang Rui, and the thing was handed over to Wang Rui. Wang Rui tossed it with his hand, and there were a hundred taels.
"The thief is a killer at the peak of the fourth order, known as the number one assassin in the rivers and lakes, and no one can match his skills. She stole the treasure I sent, I have been chasing her for more than half a year, and I only recently got the news from the bounty tea guest that she came to the northern plains, and then she strayed into the treasure land, hoping that the general would be convenient. ”
"Well, it seems that you are prepared! I really have a fate with you, as for the movement of this thief~~" Zhou Zhe's voice was very loud, and his voice was very long, and the meaning was self-evident. Although the old man surnamed Qi was not angry in his heart, but on other people's territory, he really started with this group of unreasonable soldiers, the outcome is unknown, and sooner or later it will reach the ears of Chen Yuanhou in Longquan Pass, and it is a question of whether he can get out of Beiyuan at that time. The middle-aged man also simply whispered to the young man next to him. The young man then paid Wang Rui more than 200 taels for opening fees.
"This thief has committed a great crime, and he has lost his conscience. Our scouts have just reported that the thief has since fled north into the mountains, and has stolen our horses and armaments. Since you have been chasing this thief for half a year, and we are in military affairs, it is inconvenient to be separated, so I am tired of you. Zhou Zhe opened his eyes and said nonsense, and he was not afraid of the wind and flashed his tongue, now this village is full of his soldiers, if it weren't for the fact that this group of people looked strong, they would have started to rob it a long time ago. It is estimated that Yang Jue will also rob it here, and then make a careful charge, and he will step on 10,000 feet when he dies.
"Thank you to the general for telling me, I have a reluctant request to pass from the village. Convenient for pursuit. ”
"This is absolutely impossible, the second place is now my military camp, and others need the permission of the commander to enter the camp, and they can't be the master!" Zhou Zhe directly refused, when the time comes, you really encountered it in the village, can I help or not? Both sides are not like good people, do you eat the east and eat the west?
"In that case, goodbye!" the middle-aged man surnamed Qi scolded fiercely in his heart, and left with dozens of people. Zhou Zhe found a scout with good eyesight and asked him to follow. Then he greeted all the households.
"Come, come, come, split the money. ”
