Chapter 7 Sabre-rattling
In the tea shop made of a few logs, several tables and chairs are placed, and the old and the young are busy. Three black-robed men walked up to the teahouse with a kettle, and threw the teapot and a silver ingot on the wooden table, without saying anything.
"Xiao Er, why don't you go and add tea to the guest officer. The old man walked up to the black-robed man, picked up the silver two and the teapot, and greeted Xiao Er behind him.
"Three, sit down and rest first, and the little old man will fill you tea. After the shopkeeper handed the kettle to Xiao Er, he said to the black-robed man with a smile.
The shopkeeper who was adding tea on the side was very rusty, and half of the tea was left outside.
When Tang Xi stepped into the range of the tea shop, he smelled a hint of blood. Seeing the shopkeeper's unfamiliar movements at this moment, Tang Xi stood up and was about to open his mouth to remind the black-robed man, but was pulled back by the Tianchi boy.
"Shut up, hold back for the old man, and be nosy. The Tianchi boy grabbed Tang Xi and whispered softly. It seems that the Tianchi boy has been closing his eyes all the way, but everything around him has not escaped his senses.
The black-robed man led by him also found a problem with the store. When he saw a thick cocoon on the tiger's mouth in the young man's right hand, the saber on the waist of the black-robed man had been unsheathed for three points.
The shopkeeper brought the teapot full of tea to the black-robed man and placed it on the wooden table. The black-robed man held the teapot, opened the bottle cap, and grabbed the shoulder of the shopkeeper who was about to leave with one hand, and wanted to pour the tea into the shopkeeper's mouth.
I saw the shopkeeper Er, with his left hand palmed, blocking the mouth of the pot, one side of his body, and his right hand waving back. The black-robed man was directly shocked back, and the quick reflex shopkeeper instantly defused the sudden attack.
"Haha, I didn't expect to be discovered. The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper took a few steps back, and the shopkeeper smiled.
All the black-robed people drew their long knives and divided them into two groups. A group of people quickly lined up towards the tea shop. The other group stood by the carriage, their eyes looking around, their faces full of wariness.
"Who are you?" asked the black-robed man at the head, looking at an old man and a young man with his eyes.
The black-robed man led by him didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary shopkeeper could shake him back with a random move. And these two people seem to be here for themselves.
"It is said that today's Da Song is a paper tiger, and in addition to the unity of action, it is so weak. The shopkeeper stared at the black-robed man who was shaken back, and continued with a slight look in his mouth: "Tell me the location of the iron ore, and leave you a whole corpse." ”
When the black-robed man at the head heard this, his face showed calmness. At this time, I already understood that the person in front of me was here for the iron ore. At present, the imperial court is preparing for war and is in urgent need of iron ore. The black-robed man transports these ores precisely to make weapons.
The land of Sichuan and Shu is high and the road is dangerous. In order not to damage the weapon during transportation, the predetermined place where the ore will be transported is chosen.
"It turned out to be a barbarian in the Northern Desert, there is no location in the iron mine, but there are several lives, I don't know if you two barbarians have this ability. The black-robed man at the head held a long knife in his hand and said with his head held high.
"Haha, Gongsun Mu, the sect master of the Kun Spirit Sword Sect, is not a barbarian in your mouth. Since you don't want to say it, this ore and your life, I Kunling Sword Sect accepted it. Gongsun Muhaha, who looked like a shopkeeper, laughed.
In the tea shop, there is tension for a while, and it is about to break out in wartime.
Tang Xi stood on the carriage and looked at the tea shop with a look of watching a play. Tang Xi has seen a lot of corpses, but he has never seen a person kill with his own eyes. The Tianchi boy opened his eyes, glanced at the tea shop, shook his head, and dragged Tang Xi off the carriage.
More is better than less, this is the inner words of Tianchi Tongzi. The Tianchi boy pulled Tang Xi, who was reluctant to leave, and was just about to bypass the tea shop, when the shopkeeper took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick cage on the wooden table and shot towards Tang Xi and the two who were about to move away.
The sound of breaking the air came, and the Tianchi boy tripped over Tang Xi, who was reluctant to leave, on the side of the crutch in his right hand, and fell to the ground himself, cleverly avoiding a pair of chopsticks behind him. The chopsticks flew overhead and stuck on the rocks two feet away from Tangxi, making a crisp sound.
"Oh, little old man, you did it on purpose, look at my new clothes, you got dirty. Tang Xi got up and blamed the Tianchi boy who fell to the ground.
"What, it's obvious that you tripped the old man. Like a child, the Tianchi boy began to quarrel with Tang Xi.
Tang Xi is not afraid of quarrels in this life, and in terms of quarrels, except for the fifth uncle's accident, he has almost never lost. Because the fifth uncle never quarreled with Tang Xi, he was directly a rattan upper body. Tang Xi, who was arguing, didn't pay attention at all, the pair of chopsticks that were only two feet away from him.
The black-robed man at the head showed a sinister smile, and originally wanted to ask for the old man's help, but he didn't expect these two to inadvertently help him.
Gongsun Mu didn't expect that this strange old man was actually a practitioner, and he could dodge the attack of a pair of wooden chopsticks so lightly.
"Don't let any of you go today. Gongsun Mu said calmly to Tang Xi, who was still fighting.
Tang Xi, who was making trouble, had just finished cursing the Tianchi boy and fell into the toilet tonight, when he was interrupted by Gongsun Mu's words.
"Senior, you go first, we'll drag it here. As long as the seniors go out and say on the rivers and lakes that the Kunling Sword Sect robbed the ore of the imperial court, I believe that there are people in the rivers and lakes who will seek revenge for us. The black-robed man said with a flattering expression.
Gongsun Mu smiled when he heard the words of the black-robed man. Gongsun Mu naturally knew the consequences of robbing the imperial court ore and spreading it. Not to mention that it will attract the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, it is estimated that it will be scolded in the rivers and lakes, and even lead to extermination. But for the sake of the Kunling Sword Sect, Gongsun Mu made all these preparations. This is also the reason why Tang Xi was attacked.
"Little brother, don't worry, if they sneak up on you with chopsticks again, I will definitely help you block it. The black-robed man seemed to be reminding Tang Xi.
Tang Xi touched his head, and his mind recalled that when he fell, he heard a sound. Following the sound, I saw the wooden chopsticks inserted in the bluestone, revealing a look of surprise. Tang Xi pulled out the chopsticks hard, but he didn't pull out half a minute.
"Little old man, they attacked me. Tang Xi pouted, showing a very angry look, as if he was complaining.
Tianchi Boy grabbed Tang Xi and didn't speak. Tianchi Boy didn't expect that he was swept in, and the most hateful thing was that this black-robed man also added fuel and vinegar to make himself into a passive situation.
"Gongsun Sect Master, right! Little old man, he's just a hitchhiker, you must not listen to him!" Tianchi Boy pulled Tang Xi and explained.
After hearing Tianchi Tongzi's words, the black-robed man at the head said secretly in his heart: "This old man is mysterious, if you don't drag him in, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get out today, and you can't let him continue to explain." ”
"Kill!" When the Tianchi boy wanted to continue to explain, the black-robed man led by him shouted directly.
Several black-robed people held long knives in their hands and slashed towards Gongsun Mu!
