Chapter 8 Betraying Friends for Glory
Practitioners need to rest, and ordinary people need to rest.
And as the most common resting place on the pole war road, I am afraid that it is the post station that appears from time to time on the side of the road, earlier these post stations were naturally only available to soldiers on the battlefield, but later with the needs of people passing by in business, these post stations want to earn some extra oil and water, and naturally secretly open the door for these people, until now the post station is still developed into an inn, as long as there is silver, you can enjoy all the services that the inn has.
And Li Xian and his party are now resting in a post station that looks very well repaired.
Most of the post stations on the pole road are in barren areas, and if there are no post stations in big towns, but even if the post stations are in barren places, beef and wine will not be missing.
He Yuanmian has been doing business abroad all the year round, and he has more time to eat and sleep in the open, so he has the treatment of wine and meat, so naturally he has nothing to say, and the old man Shang is even a bandit leader, and this wine and dried meat will naturally never be ambiguous.
Li Xian is not a person who likes to put on a show, no matter how difficult this jerky is, at least this wine is really good, so I didn't see how he ate meat, but he drank several large jars of wine.
After a few days, everyone also somewhat understood the temperament of the two immortals in the team, although Shang Shangxian was a little proud, but generally speaking, these two immortals were still very easy to get along with, no, a few people in the team today were still in front of He Yuan's face and the two immortals, shouting five and six to draw their fists, which added a lot of vitality to the originally deserted post station.
The road to extreme warfare is very long, in recent years, during the battle of the division of Central Continent, Xizhou has transferred troops, in fact, in peacetime, even when the leather business is the most prosperous in winter, a post station may not receive a guest for ten days and a half months, and in this late summer and early autumn, it is naturally more deserted, and there are not many such lively scenes today.
Perhaps today is the auspicious day of the innkeeper, not only ushered in a group of business travelers like He Yuanmian, but also welcomed a bearded old man who was extremely arrogant, the old man didn't want anything, just lost a big gold ingot, and sat silently at the inn.
The innkeeper who received him was a little confused, whether this was a tip for himself, or the old man would give him silver when he sat down, or was this silver for himself to watch, should he take wine and wine, and should serve food?
The innkeeper became in a dilemma for a while, but there was no doubt that he was indeed happy in his heart now, but he was happy, but Li Xian was worried, not worried that the new guest had bought all the wine, but worried about the big knife like a door panel behind the bearded old man.
This broadsword is somewhat similar to the stuttering broadsword, but a closer look is very different, just because the old man's broadsword is not only thicker, smaller, and more exquisitely workmanlike, but the lifelike black dragon on the spine of the knife is not something that ordinary craftsmen can complete.
Furthermore, although the blade of the big knife looked mediocre, Li Xian also had a slight dabbling in refining weapons, although he couldn't tell what materials were used in this knife, but the heaviest and hardest iron-headed steel in the Tiangang Realm was something he could see at a glance.
The stammering broadsword weighs more than a thousand catties, so how much does this old man's broadsword weigh?
Li Xian didn't know, so he casually carried his wine jar and prepared to ask.
"Uncle, I like your big knife very much, why don't you sell it to me?"
When Li Xian spoke, he had already poured two bowls of wine, and he drank them all in one gulp before handing the other bowl of wine to the bearded old man.
The old man was not ambiguous, he took the wine bowl and tilted his neck, not worrying about whether the wine bowl was poisonous, but he wiped a handful of the wine accidentally stained on his beard, and then said: "I don't sell this knife, but I can give it away?"
Li Xian said curiously: "Oh? I just don't know how to send this knife to my uncle?"
The old man said lightly: "Whoever kills me, I will give it to whomever I want." ”
“”
Li Xian felt that he had enough to talk about deceitful people, but he didn't want this old man to be even more cheating people, you just said that if you don't give it away or sell it, who would kill someone for a knife? Besides, kill you old man, can you keep this knife? What are you talking about?
However, Li Xian is a good young man who knows how to be polite, and he naturally has more respect for the old man, he smiled awkwardly and said, "The old gentleman said that he laughed, although he admired your knife a little, but he really didn't want your life." ”
The old man unceremoniously snatched the wine jar from Li Xian's hand, then poured it for himself, and then drank it all in one gulp, before he said: "It seems that young man, you have not yet cultivated at home, just because, why do you only appreciate my sword, but you don't know how to appreciate me as a person? Why don't you want my life, instead of not wanting my life?"
The old man's words were a little forgiving, but Li Xian heard two things, one was that he didn't understand the appreciation, and people who were good at using knives were naturally stronger, and the other was that he couldn't measure himself and couldn't kill the old man at all.
Li Xian just smiled at this, and then said loudly: "The old gentleman is not curious why I admire your knife?"
The old man said coldly: "Of course I'm curious, but I'm more curious than this curiosity, who among you will be Li Xian?"
Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "This question is extremely simple, just because the person sitting in front of you is no one else, it is Li Xian you are looking for, but I don't know why the old gentleman is looking for it, it seems that I have never met the old gentleman." ”
The old man frowned, and then looked at Li Xianlai carefully, his delicate appearance with that kind eyes, he is really a rare talent, he is really much better than his apprentice's appearance, but this person actually killed his apprentice, it can only be a pity that his good skin is white, just because this person will soon become a dead man.
He didn't speak, but a murderous aura permeated from his body.
Li Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, old man, if you act arbitrarily, won't you fall into the hands of the villain?"
Sure enough, after hearing this, the bearded old man was murderous, stared at Li Xian and said stiffly: "Say, did you kill my apprentice, Lai stammered?"
Li Xian smiled: "You see, you know that there is something greasy in it, just because I didn't kill your apprentice, I didn't even move my fingers." ”
"But my apprentice is dead. ”
The old man said indignantly: "You recognized me early in the morning, if you hadn't seen my apprentice, how did you know me, and when my apprentice had an accident, it was the attention of this caravan, and you are the highest person in this caravan, who am I not looking for you?"
Li Xian said: "Hearing the old man's analysis, I finally felt a lot more relieved, just because this trick of killing people with a knife has a lot of loopholes, if the planner chooses a smart object to start, it will definitely be more difficult, not afraid of your old jokes, the first time I saw the old man, I thought of a word." ”
"What word?" asked the old man without healing.
"People are stupid and have a lot of money. ”
Li Xian smiled again, of course, this was not laughing at the image of the old man, but in order to ease the atmosphere, he continued: "But obviously the planner behind this scene would never have thought that the old man's face or the feeling you give people is just an illusion, you are really an old man who is at least not so stupid." ”
The bearded old man, who wanted to be angry, couldn't help but be a little proud at this time: "Of course, if anyone puts his cleverness outside, or puts it on his face, it is an extremely stupid thing." ”
"So, sir, you should listen to me all the more. ”
Li Xian pointed to the old man Shang behind him and said, "The person was killed by this old man, the so-called unjust debtor has the owner, if you want to kill him, kill him!"
"Shameless boy, you"
Old man Shang jumped up on the stool in anger, wanting to scold Li Xian, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.
Yes, the enemy is so strong, Li Xian is not an opponent at all, and he does things by himself, so what is there to complain about?
After thinking about it, he didn't say anything anymore.
The bearded old man stared, looked at the old man and said, "Is what this son said true?"
"It's true. ”
Old man Shang closed his eyes in pain, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of resisting.
Seeing this, Li Xian shook his head secretly, this old man has not been able to break through, it is estimated that he has lost some of the bloody nature of treating death as home, and no matter what, everyone has their own lives, and they really can't ask for it.
Thinking of this, he just exchanged a few words with the bearded old man, as if he was prompting something.
And the bearded old man actually nodded, as if he was agreeing to something, but it definitely wouldn't be sparing Old Man Shang, just because after he nodded, he had already poked Old Man Shang's eyebrows with one finger.
Old Man Shang glared, and then the whole person fell behind him, unable to get up again.
The whole process happened really suddenly, not to mention those guards who never had to worry too much, that is, the time-honored He Yuanmian, who was still sluggish at this time, just because Li Xian he knew was not only simple, generous, and easy to get along with, but also a young talent who inserted a knife for his friends and took good care of the old man Shang, but he didn't want this kid to be a wolf with sheep's clothing, he really mislooked at this kid before.
Human-faced beast-hearted, extremely shameless, traitorous to seek glory
He Yuan's face rarely scolds, but at this moment, his mind is full of these scolding words, but when he thinks of Li Xian's ruthless methods, he shuddered, and those words that have already reached his lips naturally can't say a word.
"Where's my apprentice's corpse?"
The bearded old man gritted his teeth and looked at Li Xian, and said, "Hand it over, I won't interfere with the grievances and grievances between you people." ”
Li Xian gave He Yuanmian a look and motioned for him to release the stammer.
He Yuan's face hit a spirit, what are you doing with the corpse at this time? Of course he would not be unwilling, wishing that the stammering corpse had never appeared in his caravan
