Chapter 157: On the Road
The wind was blowing on the face, there was a cold and hard illusion, like a knife cutting, the sun was dazzling overhead, and the ears were the strange silence of everyone subconsciously holding their breath, and everyone's eyes fell on the right side of the central unicorn, this girl in a dark brocade robe, with a swaying ponytail, and a cold body.
With a curl of thin lips, Twelve's figure disappeared in an instant, so fast that she didn't even see the afterimage, it seemed that it was just a blink of an eye, and she had already disappeared from view, like a ghost!
"It's a man, this time, I'll spare your life. Only one of the guards heard this sentence clearly, and in a hurry, a knife slashed neatly, stunning the tall and tall guards.
Twelve clapped his hands, stood in the center, and looked around: "Is anyone else trying to stop me?"
Swish!
Almost the moment her words fell, everyone took a big step back and made a passage for her, retreating, looking in awe.
Twelve took a few steps forward, suddenly, paused, turned to look at the chief manager who was relieved and held his breath suddenly, this person, thinking that Twelve had let him go, and his improved heart was just about to fall, and he was startled by Twelve's sudden stop, only staring at a pair of eyes abruptly, staring at Twelve in fear.
"Division...... Sima Ru...... Wishful...... You...... What else do you want to do?", a sentence that stammered, and the horror on his face was already in full sight of Twelve.
Her eyes were cold, but the corners of her mouth raised an extremely gentle smile, in the eyes of others, maybe this smile was as soft as the spring breeze in March, but in the eyes of the chief manager, it was like a cold winter wax moon, the wind gusted, a cold air from the soles of his feet to the scalp, his throat kept swallowing, scared to the extreme.
Sima Ruyi...... If there is anything to say, let's say it well, say it well. ”
"I want to bother you with something. Twelve put on a modest look, as if he was discussing with the chief manager, but the tone was clearly an order!
Where did the chief manager dare not agree, and nodded hurriedly: "You say, I promise, I agree to everything you say." ”
Hell, as long as he can get rid of this god-killing scythe, even if he is allowed to scatter all his wealth, he is willing.
What is more important than life?
Answer: No!
"Okay," Twelve smiled with satisfaction, "I heard that all the trade routes in Mohai City are arranged by the Qi family? I hope that the chief manager can take the lead and resume Mohai City to welcome foreign business, so that the people in the city can live four years ago, I don't know if this 'simple' request, will the chief manager help once?"
Simple?
It was the current old man of the Qi family who gave up Mohai City and ordered all the shops under the command of the Qi family in various towns to cut off all business contacts with Mohai City!
He is just a dog next to the old man, even if he is the most satisfying and trusted by the old man, but in the end he is still a dog, this ...... How can this be something he can call the shots?
There was a contradictory look on the face of the chief manager, on the one hand, the fate was the hand of the twelve, and on the other hand, it was the top boss, what should he do?
"Do you think the Grand Steward will agree?"
"Definitely!"
"I didn't expect Sima Ruyi to be a good person. ”
"Haven't you heard of it? Rumors stop at the wise! It must have been deliberately spread by those who opposed her that she was not a good person! We were all deceived. ”
"That's it. ”
......
The whispered conversation in the crowd was heard by Twelve, her expression remained unchanged, her eyes looked at the chief manager coldly, waiting for his reply, "How about it? If you want to live, you agree, if you want to die, you can refuse, it's a very simple question." ”
Life or death is in his own thoughts.
As the minutes and seconds passed, Twelve's face became more and more impatient, and his eyes were dark, as if the sky before the storm was coming, black as ink, bottomless, everyone gritted their teeth, no one dared to shout, and their eyes were cast on the people who stood and sat in the center.
Say yes!
Say yes!
There are constantly people begging in the bottom of their hearts, silently thinking, as long as the chief manager loosens his mouth, Mo Haicheng will have six or seven percent certainty of resuming trade again!
People are sometimes very ignorant, they don't need to know whether the chief manager's right to speak in the Qi family is big or small, all they need is to have a 'high and powerful' person in their minds, come out and give them a promise, so that they have the motivation to look forward to it!
So sad......
"Tick. ”
Cold sweat ran down the archist's wrinkled cheeks, across his cheekbones, across the contours of his face, and onto his chapped lips.
"If you don't agree...... Twelve raised her hand, her index finger raised high, and a circle of douqi visible to the naked eye surrounded her fingertips, and in the quiet street, she could even clearly hear the humming of the air rushing against the air.
It's like a Hades who is urging his life!
When the chief manager saw this, what else did he hesitate about? He immediately nodded, only to drop his head to the ground, "I promise, I promise!"
"You swear!" the twelve steps pressed closely, not giving the chief manager a chance to regret it.
"I ......" the chief manager's expression changed slightly, and he secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, damn! I thought she was a young girl who was easy to fool, but I didn't expect that she even blocked her own tricks.
The chief manager originally thought that as long as the twelfth and eleven left, he could break the contract and continue to cut off the economy of Mohai City!
It's a pity that Twelve has never been a warrior with no brains, otherwise, she would not have become a secret agent of the state at a young age, and she would not have been trusted by high-level personnel for a while.
"Why, refusing?" Twelve blinked, the corners of his mouth turned up extremely slowly, the arc was cold, full of murderous intent.
"I'll send it! I'll send it right away!" At the moment of life and death, where can the chief manager take care of so much? He fell to his knees with a thud, raised his head and chest, raised three fingers high, and swore to the sky: "I, Qi Yongjian, the chief manager of the Qi family, will resume all commerce and trade in Mohai City today, so that the people can return to the good life of four years ago, as evidenced by heaven and earth!"
Rumble!
A dazzling white light suddenly rose from under him, and the five-pointed star array, accompanied by the oppressive power of heaven and earth, many people were pierced by this light and raised their sleeves to block.
Twelve's eyes narrowed uncomfortably, able to withstand the coercion from the contract between heaven and earth.
When the white light passed, the chief manager seemed to be more than ten years old, his back was stiff, his shoulders were heavy, he raised his sweaty face, and smiled at Twelve: "In this way, you can rest assured, right?"
Who would have thought that the head of the Qi family, who used the name of the Qi family to be powerful in such a small town in the past, would have such a down-and-out and embarrassed day?
And the person who caused all this is a teenage girl!
A waste that has been despised and forgotten by the world, but Zuihou shines!
"Handsome!" Yun Ruoshui's face was full of excitement, looking at Twelve's gaze so hot that he could burst out of Mars, "Sister Ruyi is so handsome." ”
"Let's go, what kind of are you doing?" Yun Ruohan scolded with a smile, patted his sister's head gently, took his hand and followed behind the twelve, and left from the crowd of people on the third floor inside and three layers outside.
Twelve didn't know that today she was just a casual move, and she actually won a reputation as a bodhisattva in the world.
Turning over on the horse, the little milk bag cried and shouted that he didn't want to return to the Najie, and Twelve could only let it sit in front of him, raised his horsewhip, and set off quickly with the four of them, rushing to the thousand-year-old snow mountain.
"I knew that Sister Ruyi wasn't the kind of ruthless person," Yun Ruoshui rode her horse closely behind, looking at the woman in front of her who was heading towards the wind, and muttered in her mouth.
"The face is cold and the heart is hot, this is her, isn't it?" Qiu Lou's ears were extremely good, and when he heard her words, he immediately turned back and smiled, "This is Sima Ruyi, who is our companion who risked his life all the way, right?"
"Hmm!" Yun Ruoshui nodded heavily, and the two women smiled more beautifully in the sun.
Tomorrow night, Yu Guang glanced at them coldly, and his heart was dark, if it wasn't for you to provoke the incident, how could the master help?
His master has never cared about the people in this world, thousands of people, what she cares about is only the few people in her heart.
Starting from Mohai City, all the way forward, three days and nights, the weather that was originally sunny and warm in spring became colder and colder, and even the oncoming wind was bitingly cold!
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the twelve tighten the reins of the horse, the horse's hooves are raised high, neighing, and stop under a towering peak, only to see this peak, the mountain wall is steep, are uneven rocks, bare, sparse trees, and even difficult to hear the chirping of birds and beasts, only the sound of the wind is like crying, as if a baby is sobbing, and people can't help but fall to the ground with goosebumps.
The cold moonlight shrouded the entire mountain, adding a bit of seclusion and horror to this cold mountain.
"Such as ...... Wishful...... Are we going up now?" Qiu Lou swallowed a few times, looking at the peak in front of him, which could barely be seen at the top, his heart went up and down, and it was chaotic.
Girls, for this kind of gloomy place, are naturally timid.
"If you're afraid, you can choose to stay here. Before Twelve could speak, he had already spoken out first in the night, and a pair of cold eyes that were the same as Twelve looked particularly dark and obscure in the night.
"Who! who is afraid?" Qiu Lou pretended to be calm and yelled at Mingye, but his pale face, how he looked in the moonlight, how pitiful, and the hand holding the reins began to turn white.
"Qiu Lou, don't be afraid. Yun Ruoshui, who had no heart, also noticed that something was wrong with her, and hurriedly opened her mouth to comfort.
"Huh...... Heh......" Qiu Lou smiled weakly, what can she do? For this kind of place that seems to be a ghost, she really chills from her heart, but if it is for Ruyi, she takes a deep breath and suppresses the fear in her heart, she releases the reins, and pats her face with both hands, and the crackling sound looks very weird in the quiet space.
"It's a girl after all. Yun Ruohan saw her behavior in her eyes, her lips were slightly upturned, a little helpless arc, and in a blink of an eye, she looked towards Twelve, the same girl, but she didn't have the slightest fear, some were just firm and fearless!
It was as if there was no one, anything, anything in the world that could make her feel uneasy and afraid.
"Add some clothes, you have to go up the mountain, I'm afraid the climate will change greatly. Yun Ruohan proposed.
"Yes. Twelve could clearly feel that the wind blowing down on the mountain road was so cold that even she would feel cold and her hair stood on end!
She took out a few light furs from the ring and handed them to the four of them, and she took a black one herself, draped it on her back, and tied a strong knot around her neck, and the wind whistled like a knife, cutting at their skin.
"I really don't know how the people of this Xuannu Palace can stand this hellish weather, they shouldn't all be some kind of demons and monsters, right?" Qiu Lou tightened the light fur on his body, looked at the headless mountain in front of him, and muttered in his mouth.
"Who knows, maybe they have some secret way to connect with the outside world. Yun Ruoshui took it smoothly, she didn't know, she actually guessed it.
"Master, do you want to go into the mountains overnight?" Ming Ye didn't pay attention to the two muttering women at all, he looked at Twelve, waiting for her instructions.
