Chapter 7: Nine Win Inn
Dacheng world, big land.
There are a total of thirteen states in the north, south, east and west, and Jiucang is located in Cangzhou in the extreme north of the dynasty.
At the northernmost tip of Cangzhou is a hundred thousand mountains, which not only blocked the pace of the dynasty's northern expedition, but also isolated the barbarians outside the mountains in the northern tundra.
Cangzhou, which is surrounded by mountains, is far from the folk customs of Maozhou on the coast.
Although they are all Dacheng people, compared with the children of Cangzhou, Maozhou and its neighboring Zhongzhou give people more of a gentle and elegant Confucian scholarly atmosphere.
To get from Cangzhou to Maozhou, you have to pass through Zhongzhou between the two states.
Zhongzhou is rich in beautiful jade, this jade is called green jade, green as pine, green as bamboo.
The children of the family have jade hanging around their waists, and verdant is the first choice.
There is a saying: the mountains have jade and the grass and trees are moist, and people hide jade and everything is prosperous
The verdant skin that is as moist as a girl's muscle fat will naturally be sought after by everyone.
At this time, in the big city of Zhongzhou, which is rich in jade, two young people in colorful brocade clothes are looking for an inn to settle down in.
The handsome young man walking in front was expressionless, a long knife hung from his waist, and the fine lines of the brocade clothes were very eye-catching.
Compared with him, who is extraordinary, the young man in the back who is wearing a finely embroidered pine ancient tree and revealing a lazy atmosphere on his body is not so eye-catching.
"I said~Senior Brother~ haven't arrived yet?"
"Hmm"
Senior Brother Lu Xia in front of him simply answered Bailizhi's question with a nasal voice, and Bailizhi could only cry and laugh at this.
The bodyguard invited by the old man from the realm has been almost a month since they first met.
This senior brother's temper has been tempered for a long time, so that Baili Zhi has long been aware of it, he is not good at words, and he is extremely serious about everything.
Even Bailizhi's joke about it, he had to think about it seriously and give a rigorous and pertinent answer.
Of course, Senior Brother Lu Xia's strength is indeed not to say, the two of them just left Cangzhou, and they were robbed by horse bandits who didn't have long brains not long after they set foot on the land of Zhongzhou
Is there a hole in the brains of these horse bandits, who is not good to rob, and it is not a robbery to quench the body into one step into the Baina level Senior Brother Lu Xia.
Not to mention Senior Brother Lu Xia, even Baili Zhi is also a great strength, and the horse bandits who don't even have a cultivator have any capital to fight with these two 'monsters'.
"Arrived"
The senior brother who was walking in the front suddenly stopped, and Baili Zhi's mind didn't react for a while, and directly hit the back of Lu Xia's head, and the sour feeling rushed from his nose to his brain.
Covering his nose and squinting at the senior brother who was hit on his head, Bai Lizhi complained helplessly
"Senior brother~ can you not be so sudden next time, think about the people behind you"
"I see. After all, I used to act alone."
Senior Brother Lu Xia, who was handsome, had a solemn expression and said thoughtfully, "That's it, before I stop in the future, I will shout ......"
"No, brother, I don't want to be taken for a fool because of your cerebral palsy behavior. ”
Lu Xia's serious expression didn't look like a joke at all, and seeing this scene, Bai Lizhi hurriedly interrupted his proposal.
With his senior brother's serious character, if he doesn't refute it now, he may appear in Jade City a strange person who screams after walking a few steps.
Bailizhi looked up, and the two of them were parked in front of a three-story inn.
Although it is not beautifully decorated, it is still a little taller than the surrounding ones.
Above the gate hangs a door plaque written by a down-and-out old scholar,
Jiuwen Inn
It makes sense not to choose the glittering luxury shops in the city.
After all, it is better to live in inns built by people who don't know the details, than to live in a place run by the Jiucang people themselves.
Behind the Jiuwen Inn is Jiucang's industry.
There really wouldn't be anyone who thought that the Jiucang Intelligence Network was a master of the Nine Cang Intelligence Network and that it was just the bit of information collected by the disciples in the sect who went down the mountain.
I dare not say that all provinces, states, and counties in the world have Jiucang eyeliner, but in a slightly larger place, Jiucang still put in a lot of effort.
As soon as he stepped into the inn, several lines of sight of the guests who were eating locked on him, and Bailizhi couldn't help but subconsciously touch the skin that covered his original appearance.
Now Bailizhi's appearance is no different from ordinary people, and it can even be said that it is a little more mediocre than ordinary people.
Not only his six eyes, but even the demonic power on his body is difficult to be detected.
All this is thanks to the group of people who have mastered the world's thaumaturgy in the Purple Cold Palace, and relying on the strange means they have mastered, Baili Zhi can integrate into human society so easily.
If you have a monster face, I'm afraid that ordinary people will run away when they see you.
At the moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the two of them, and Bai Lizhi could clearly sense that people were not locking their eyes on Senior Brother, but staring at themselves tightly.
Pinched the leather mask on his face suspiciously, and Bai Lizhi's doubts couldn't help but become a little heavier.
The skin of the face is obviously not damaged in the slightest, why are these sharp diners still staring at themselves?
Interrupting Bailizhi's thoughts, a woman in her forties with a bloated figure walked out of the back kitchen, shook the fan in her hand gently, looked the two people at the door up and down with her eyes, and instantly her expression became extremely happy
"Eh~ Isn't this Lu Shaoxia? Why didn't you call someone to inform our family first?"
The woman squirmed and quickly leaned towards the two.
Lu Xia still had no expression, but the sharp-eyed Bai Lizhi was shocked to find that his senior brother, who was not shocked, had quietly taken a step back.
Fortunately, the proprietress didn't make any other outrageous moves after getting close to the two.
Bai Lizhi couldn't help but wonder if this proprietress really did the act of rubbing oil on the handsome senior brother, would the senior brother directly pull out the knife.
"Introduction, Zhao Erniang, the owner of the inn" Without waiting for Baili Zhi to ask, Senior Brother Lu Xia thoughtfully introduced the identity of the woman in front of him
"Jiucang's own people, the key person who maintains the intelligence network of Jade City, and everyone who eats here is also his own people"
As soon as Lu Xia finished speaking, Erniang covered her lips with the Tuanshan in her hand and asked softly.
"Lu Shaoxia can even remember these guys who eat and drink all day long, it's really heartwarming~ Speaking of which, who is this descendant?"
Scratching his head and throwing a wink at Bai Li Zhi, if this action was done by a slender and hot and young beauty, Bai Li Zhi would definitely be overjoyed and ecstatic.
However, in his forties, the middle-aged and blessed Erniang really couldn't get him excited.
"This is the disciple who has recently ascended to the inner gate, Baili Zhi. ”
"Hiss~" "
Lu Xia took over the previous question, so that the atmosphere was not ruined by Erniang's scratching of her head and Bai Lizhi, who was stiff in place.
But this sentence fell into the ears of the diners who were caricatured by Erniang as eating and drinking, and they couldn't help but gasp.
Of course, these people have also heard of Jiucang's recent ferocious mad dog, a young man named Baili Zhi.
However, I only heard of his name, but did not see his person.
Now it satisfies their curiosity, after all, they are not legitimate disciples of Jiucang, and they can't climb Jiucang Mountain casually.
Some of them are former bullies, and some are imprisoned killers, and they are essentially from different sects.
They are the eagle dogs raised by Jiucang, and Jiucang is not thin on them, so they are willing to die for Jiucang.
Erniang looked Bailizhi up and down, as if she thought that Bailizhi was not her dish, and unconsciously showed disappointed eyes.
"Who are the two young heroes coming to the shop this time?"
With a disappointed look just now, Erniang leaned towards Lu Xia's side again, and took advantage of the situation to hold the young handsome man's forearm, this time Lu Xia looked very embarrassed.
Along the way, it was the first time that Bailizhi saw his senior brother looking embarrassed.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced slightly, and seemed to see the look of his senior brother throwing himself for help.
"Lu Xia Shaoxia, why don't you speak~"
"It's worthy of Sister Zhao, along the way, there are many ladies who throw flattering eyes at the senior brother, but he ignores them and looks cold, sister, as soon as you make a move, the senior brother collided with the deer at that time"
Forced by the senior brother's eyes gradually changed from asking for help to threatening, Bai Lizhi had no choice but to come to the rescue, and a sister in his mouth seemed to poke at Erniang's weakness, and his chubby face was full of happy smiles.
"Eh~ The mouth is so sweet, Erniang will go to prepare a room for you, Erniang will definitely feed you for a while if you live here for a while. ”
Looking at Erniang's happy appearance, Bailizhi was thinking at this time
(Erniang, let go of the senior brother, his face is green)
Half a month ago, on the ancient road in Zhongzhou.
A tall horse was galloping on the night road, and a middle-aged man in a military uniform on horseback, covered in blood, panting and clutching the reins, kept urging the horse to run faster.
In the late autumn moonlight, countless black shadows flickered in the forest behind him.
The black shadows were in hot pursuit, and the fast horses of the officers and soldiers in front of them who could chase after them with their foot strength alone were obviously not ordinary roadside thieves.
The pursuers grew faster and faster, and finally, unbeknownst to him, the black shadow hand raised it, and the flying knife slashed through the air, cutting off the horse's legs.
Being able to cut off a thick horse's leg so easily, the spiritual power contained in the flying knife is evident.
With a painful neigh, the strong military horse's body fell heavily to the ground due to inertia, and the flying dust hazy the bright moonlight.
The officers and soldiers on horseback were also thrown out of more than a few meters, and struggled to stop the decline, but suddenly found that they had been blocked by the assassins in front of and behind them.
"I'm a salt transporter! You are robbing the salt of the court officials! It is a felony to kill your head!"
"Well, well, what those dozens of people said just now is the same as what you touched, will you government lackeys say this?"
The black-clothed people in front of him suddenly parted left and right, and a young man in a red shirt appeared in his field of vision, and the young man walked slowly, holding a huge head in his hand.
He'd seen the head.
It was another ordinary soldier who escorted Guan Yan with him, and now he was in a different place, and the tragic situation was chilling.
It all happened in the midst of lightning.
In the darkness of the night, the surprise attack team of thirty cultivators strangled all their officers and soldiers who were transporting salt in an instant, and the methods were ruthless, which could be described as appalling.
"How many of you are there?"
Tossing his head aside, playing with the huge jade beads in his hand, the man in the red shirt asked
The officers and soldiers saw that the pupils of the jade bead in his hand suddenly shrank, although he was only a small soldier, he still saw it from a distance, and the salt officer often used it as a treasure to play with the night pearl.
It was clear that the object in the hands of the two was the same object.
"Don't think about it, that salt officer can't breathe anymore, if you don't want to end up with him, answer me quickly"
The man in the red shirt seemed to see the doubts of the officers and soldiers, and took the first step to answer them.
"Eighty people, we count the stewards and add up to a total of eighty people."
The officers and men hurriedly replied, for fear that if they hesitated for a moment, they would be regarded as lying.
You must know the leader of their group of salt-transporting officers and soldiers: that salt official is not a civilian official.
That was a cultivator at the level of ascending to the hall, if he was really killed by everyone in front of him so quickly, then if he dealt with them himself, he might be sent to see the king of Hades in an instant.
The man in the red shirt listened to the answer and looked thoughtfully at a man in black beside him.
The man in black who was staring at was stunned for a moment, and then reacted quickly, and replied, "Lord Ten Lives, as he said, counting him is exactly eighty."
"Hmm~ That's enough"
The moonlight shone on the face of Shi Quanming, and the squinted eyes of Shiquan Life vaguely emanated, the ruthlessness that had experienced countless lives and deaths and crawled out of the pile of dead people.
Tilting his head to look at the officers and soldiers, his slightly narrowed eyes slowly opened, and he said in a low voice, "Since the official salt is in hand, it's useless to keep you."
"Sir, I, I've helped you a lot, how can you?"
The officers and men suddenly struggled when they listened to the spicy speech of the young man in the lead.
To be reasonable, he didn't expect tonight's night attack at all, if he could have thought of it, he wouldn't have told him about the itinerary of the two handfuls of official salt escorted in the tavern for the scattered silver in his hand.
He struggled to his feet, but in the next moment his heart was pierced by the men in black who flashed their blades around him.
didn't look at the tragic situation of the whipping corpse, and turned around and left.
He still squinted his eyes, playing with the night pearl he had scavenged from the bloated corpse of the old man.
The old man who hadn't taken a few steps to greet him appeared in front of him, originally made an appointment to meet at a fixed place, but it seemed that the other party was not at ease and sent someone to spy on him secretly.
The funniest thing about Ten Lives is that the employer really seems to think that the watchman he sent is not exposed.
I just don't want to kill it.
The old man who has just reached the level of strength is not a matter of minutes when he wants to pull out this eyeliner.
The old man didn't know that he had walked around the ghost gate, and he was still pretentious and said arrogantly in a vicissitudes of life, "Ten lives, you did a good job"
"Hmph, of course, after all, I am also taken care of by your master. ”
Shi Quan's squinted eyes slowly opened, and the crimson eyes faintly oozing demonic power.
