Chapter 6 Tavern
When I bought this house, I deliberately chose this house with its back to the city wall, to be exact, there are 500 meters between the city wall and my house, but these 500 meters are all trees, and the dense woods usually cover the sun tightly, and now after dark, in the woods, people outside can't see it at all.
I pulled my hood on, walked out the back door, and gently closed the door. I looked left and right, and the patrolling soldiers didn't pay attention at all, and the back door of the house was only three or five paces away from the woods.
But there is an iron fence around the edge of the woods, which is the fence of my house, and the walls of the people here rarely have this kind of iron fence, for them, such fences have no privacy at all, and I like this design, killers like me, I just want them to see me, and can help me with a lot of alibi, but now I don't want them to see me.
I stood on the edge of the fence, and with a force on my feet, the man had jumped on the top of the fence, and I looked back at the main entrance of the house, which was completely blocked by the house, and on both sides, because of the proximity to the woods, weeds had grown in many places, and the patrol soldiers completely ignored this side.
This made it easier for me, and I jumped forward and stood firmly in the woods, and I walked leisurely in the woods at the same pace as I usually walked.
The ground of the woods was not flat, and it was overgrown with weeds, and there were a lot of dead branches, and of course there were many clearings, and it was completely dark, and there was nothing to see in the woods, but as if I could see everything, I not only avoided the dead branches that might make a sound when I stepped on them, but at the same time, I tried to walk on the few clearings with every step.
In the middle of the forest, I moved about five or six hundred meters to the east, a distance that had bypassed the rich area, and not far ahead was the commercial area.
I walked to the edge of the woods, and looked through the gaps in the trees, and for a while observed that the street was a little quiet, not as lively as usual, but there seemed to be few soldiers on this side of the street.
I was still not at ease, so I climbed a big tree next to me and stood on the tree to look at the business district, where the row of shops near the woods was rarely open, but there were still many shops open in the center of the city, and there were many soldiers patrolling there, which provided me with some convenience.
Jumping down from the tree, I continued to stomp unhurriedly towards the business district, but my ears were working at full strength, there were really no people coming here, and the shops here were not to the shops inside, and the shops here were not connected to each other, but left an alley for only one person to walk.
I walked through a random alley, and when I walked through the alley, I peeked out, and looked at both sides of the street, and there was not a single pedestrian, and it seemed that last night's assassination had succeeded in bringing the depression down here, at least for the past few days.
But what I don't understand is that it is said that I killed a member of the royal family last night, but why the patrol force on the streets is so weak, except for a few more soldiers patrolling the streets, as if nothing happened at all.
I walked through the quiet street at my own pace, through the business district, then turned right and continued east, and after two blocks, the noise started again, and there are only two places where there is such noise at night, both of which are places that men like to go, and one is naturally a place where countless women have lost their footing to serve you, but this is not my destination.
So, this is another man's paradise, of course, from time to time there are women who come here, that is the bar, there are countless large and small bars on this street, from time to time there are mercenaries who are encouraged by alcohol to start a fight on the street for a very tasteless problem, and solve it in a man's way, as for the friendly exchange, whether it is a laugh, or a cold eyebrow, that is to see the degree of friendship before the mercenary group they belong to.
The place I went to was called the old place, it was a very famous bar on this street, when I pushed the door in, there were already a lot of people in the bar, I came to the bar, and the bartender Xue Ling greeted me: "Hey, isn't this the mage Sean! It's been a long time, I thought you weren't here anymore! Where have you made your fortune lately?"
"Xue Ling, don't just say these two sentences every time you come, change some tricks!" After I finished speaking, Xue Ling was stunned, looking at me in disbelief, I usually never joke, but today I followed Xue Ling's words and blurted out a joke, which made Xue Ling not very comfortable.
Before he could recover from this, I asked, "There aren't many people today!
My sentence made Xue Ling come to his senses, and he mysteriously leaned over and said, "Old Xiao, don't you know?"
"I don't know, you didn't say, what do I know?"
"Well, I'm telling you, King North is dead. Xue Ling didn't say any more, he was waiting, waiting for me to show a surprised expression, but unfortunately he was doomed to be disappointed, because my face was blocked by the hood, he couldn't see my expression at all, and my body didn't show a surprised reaction at all, as if I already knew what was going on.
So, I said to him, "I see! I heard that King Beijing was dismantled by a large man, and blood was sprayed all over the wall." I said it very plainly, but Xue Ling's eyes widened: "Who are you listening to! That must be fake!"
"Oh, what did you hear again?" I asked rhetorically.
"Lao Xiao, I'm in business, you have to listen...... I have sherry, whiskey, Wuliangye...... here" It seemed that he was going to report all the liquor in the store, so I quickly stretched out my hand, made a stop gesture and said, "Okay, let's have a glass of Erguotou." ”
"Old Xiao, you also have to learn to accept some high-end wine, this kind of civilian wine like Erguotou doesn't match your identity!" Although Xue Ling said that Erguotou was of low grade, he didn't stop in his hand, he took a big wine bottle from the wine rack behind him, and took out a wine glass that could hold about one or two halves from under the counter, and poured me a full glass.
I took a sip and said, "Okay, let's talk!"
"What did you say?" Xue Ling was obviously playing dumb with me.
"King of the North ......"
"Ah, yes, actually, ......" Xue Ling leaned over, deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Actually, King Beijing was sucked dry of the essence blood by dark creatures and died, you don't know, when his personal maid entered the house early the next morning, Hao Xuan was not scared to death, she saw King Beijingwang lying on his back on the bed, there was no scar on his body at all, but a person has a layer of skin left on his body except for bones, how scary it is!" After Xue Ling finished speaking, he deliberately looked left and right, and continued to whisper: " What I said was true, and I heard this from the maid's friend. ”
