Chapter 127: The two stunned looked at the sword
Three days later, Li Xian and the others finally entered the sphere of influence of the bandits, they thought they were going to sleep in the wilderness again, but they accidentally found an inn, I really don't know what the owner of the inn used to do, because as a standard businessman with business acumen, he would never open an inn in such a barren mountain and wilderness, so there would be guests?
Li Xian thought helplessly, aren't his group standard guests now?
Pushing open the wooden door made of new wood, Li Xian led the way into this nameless inn, and first saw the proprietress sitting behind the counter eating melon seeds. The proprietress is about fifty years old, with a straight back but not tall, and her face can no longer tell whether she is beautiful or ugly, in short, like all old people, wrinkled and shriveled, but it is not difficult to see from the straight eyebrows of the old man that this proprietress is not only straightforward, but also has a good temper.
Seeing the guests enter the door, but still unhappy, unhurried, not anxious, it is really difficult to find a trace of being a businessman from her, in other words, this proprietress is either a novice, or a black hand (a veteran of opening a black shop).
Before he could speak, Li Xian couldn't help frowning, just because no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this inn was more like the latter.
"Staying in the hotel or playing sharp?"
Finally, the proprietress realized that it was time to greet the guests, he put down the remaining melon seeds in his hand, raised his eyelids and asked Li Xian, there was absolutely no customer first, it was completely like asking the homeless puppy outside if he wanted a litter.
Li Xian's smile couldn't help but look a little stiff, and finally he still spit out the two words "live in the hotel".
"One hundred taels for one night, including room and board, you are four people, right?"
Before Li Xian and the others answered, the proprietress had already asked and answered to herself cleanly: "That's four thousand taels, money first and then house, no credit." ”
Then there was no more follow-up, she stared at Li Xian and his party, as if to say, "Do you want to stay in the hotel, hurry up, don't delay everyone's time."
One hundred taels of silver is generally enough for an ordinary family's expenses for several months, but in this deep mountain and old forest, it can only stay for one night, but this is a hidden high-end inn, it is said that some high-priced inns have set up aura houses.
Observing the proprietress's expression of "you can't live it", Li Xian felt that this thing was really possible, and he really couldn't stand the snakes, rats and insects in the forest at night, so he responded very happily: "Stay, of course live." ”
At the end, he also turned his head and winked mysteriously at Qu Zi, who obviously felt dissatisfied with the price, and Du Yinglan and the others, indicating that this room was worth the price. As for Song Xuewu, he was a guy who had completely lost his knowledge of silver values, so he ignored him.
The proprietress said a satisfied "um" in a nasal voice, then got up, threw Li Xian four room number plates, and picked up the melon seeds in the tray again, not even bothering to look at Li Xian and the others again.
This attitude is almost like doing a discounted business, and you can't go wrong.
Li Xian was even more determined in his thoughts, but when he pushed open the door of his room, he knew how wrong his beautiful idea was, where was there any aura house, ordinary wooden frame beds, ordinary grass blue quilts, ordinary tables and stools, and even Li Xian could find those unshaved bark from the stools.
If you have to find any characteristics, it is the newly opened inn, clean and spotless, and all built of new wood, close to nature, without a trace of pollution, Li Xian still thinks that this inn is still quite unique, but even if he hints in his heart like a curse on himself, he still can't help but feel cheated.
After nearly a quarter of an hour of struggle, he finally realized one thing: the proprietress was very black-bellied, and the proprietress was really more business-savvy than she looked.
Yes, anyway, the money was paid, and the temper of the proprietress estimated that it was impossible to check out, saying that he was in charge of living in at the time, and he was making a fuss to check out at this time, isn't it clear that he was yelling, he was fooled, and he was a big fool?
"Hahaha, old woman, let's find it when you arrive. Why, when you kill our brothers, do you know now that you are afraid?"
Just when Li Xian was lying in bed until dawn in line with the principle of not wasting money, there was a piercing laugh from downstairs, this voice he didn't like, just because this was the accent that only wicked people would handle, but the proprietress lied to him, but he didn't like it even more, so he decided, since he didn't like it, then out of sight and out of mind, he covered his ears and continued to sleep.
But Li Xian didn't listen to it, but it didn't mean that Song Xuewu and the others couldn't hear it and didn't want to care, but the proprietress still said in a calm voice: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, it is an old man who killed you, but you came to me for trouble with this old woman, do you think there is something wrong with this matter?"
"Yes, it's wrong, it won't be wrong, because my brothers have seen you two old things living together, and that's something that only husbands and wives do, don't you two hehe? ”
"We are indeed husband and wife, don't be embarrassed by your dirty thoughts, but haven't you heard that 'husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes'?"
"What a bitter old woman, but since you annoy me, you can't fly away even if you want to. ”
This was the voice of the last wicked man, and then there was no more follow-up, for neither the wicked man nor all his companions had closed their eyes as soon as the words had been spoken.
The proprietress blew on the powder in her palm, then got up and clapped her hands, and said to the outside of the house: "He is not here, if you want to take my life now, you will definitely regret it." ”
"Heh, can I assume that you're threatening me?"
Sure enough, there was another voice from outside the inn, this voice was obviously a little more majestic, this is an invisible majesty that only people who have been in a high position for a long time can have, even Song Xuewu and others, at this time, there is a feeling that the whole person's life is being dragged in the palm of this person's hand, but it is clear that they have not even seen anyone.
"It's a pity, old man, you seem to have made a mistake, at least when threatening others, you must not threaten people who are not afraid of threats at all, and unfortunately, as bandits, we are never people who should be afraid of threats. ”
The proprietress looked at the sunset outside the window, and estimated that the old man was about to come back, but when she thought that she was about to go to Huangquan with the old man, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken in her heart.
Finally, she took a deep breath, glanced at the inn that the two of them had built together, and decided not to delay any longer.
It's much more comfortable to die alone than to die together.
She deliberately knocked over an oil lamp, and then walked out of the inn, although the inn is all new wood, but the inn is stored in a lot of rice wine that she brewed herself, it should be able to burn, if the old man comes back, he will be able to see it from afar, maybe he will not fall into the net.
But regardless of whether the new wood can be burned or not, it is certain that the smoke produced after that must be very large, so big that not long after the proprietress walked out of the inn, the whole inn was already smoky, and Li Xian, who was covered in the quilt, still didn't feel much, but Song Xuewu and the others had already called out outside his house with red eyes for a long time, and I have to say that Li Xian covered his ears tightly enough, and the door of the hostess's guest house was strong enough.
Finally, when Li Xiandu noticed the abnormality, he got up and opened the door, and saw three pairs of rabbit eyes and an inn without the proprietress of the inn.
"Hurry up and save the proprietress from the hostess. Song Xuewu said eagerly in a somewhat dry voice.
"Why do I have to save her?"
Li Xian looked around, and then said: "Compared to that proprietress, I think I care more about the things in front of me, is it that she is in trouble alone, and she still refuses to let us guests live or what's wrong?"
"Little Xianzi, what's wrong with you? Isn't helping the old man what the righteous people should do?"
Song Xuewu's eyes were red, and she looked like she was crying with anger, but Li Xian didn't know what was actually going on, but he knew that he had no way to refuse.
"Brother Li, you go and save the boss lady, at least she was taken away by the bandits, then she will definitely not be a bad person. ”
"Yes, Brother Li, don't you always say that you want to destroy the bandits? ”
Even Quzi and Du Yinglan began to help, which made Li Xian feel that something was wrong, is it a bandit force?
"What the hell is going on?"
"I don't know, but I know that the husband of the boss lady seems to have killed the small leader of the bandits, and now the big one has killed the small one, and it just so happens that the husband of the boss lady is not there, so he can only take the boss lady under the knife. ”
Song Xuewu organized the language and concisely summarized the beginning and end of the whole thing, which is really very progressive.
Li Xian heard this, but he didn't have the heart to praise Song Xuewu again, his face changed, and he secretly said that for some trivial things, he actually put the proprietress who dared to uphold justice in such adversity in danger, it was really a sin, if a person died, he didn't know how to face the boss lady husband who had never met yet.
In a hurry, he shook his long sword, and immediately split the wooden wall in half, and then stretched out his hand to drag Song Xuewu and the three of them out of the inn with Yuan Li, and rushed in one direction without saying anything, just because in that direction, he obviously felt a violent fluctuation of Yuan force, and there was no need for Shen Nian to search at all.
"Let's go up too!"
Song Xuewu rushed to Quzi and Du Yinglan, and then chased in the direction of Li Xianjixing.
Boom, the proprietress was slashed by a palm, and she spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", and then gasped and said, "Why don't you use a sword?"
"Because, I have a rule with my sword, that is, if you use a sword, you will die, but you can't die now. ”
Opposite the proprietress, a sword-bearing man with a sven appearance looked at the proprietress who fell to the ground and said calmly and coldly.
The proprietress said, "You want to kill me in front of him, so that you can have more confidence to defeat him, right?"
"It is said that ginger is still old and spicy, it seems that you are not stupid at all, old man. ”
"Hahaha"
The proprietress burst into laughter, and even the wound caused her to cough violently.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing, since you're willing to use these ugly means, it means that you can't defeat my old man at all, but it's that fool who hates it, and still thinks that he can't beat you at all. Isn't this particularly funny, you say?"
"Actually, it's not funny at all, just because fighting me, even if he wants to win, he has to fight with his life, but he cares about you so much that even if he knows that he has a chance, he has no chance. ”
"Then if I die now, won't I give him a chance to reappear?"
"If you die now, it will only make him even more unlucky, how can you not know this?"
Yes, the proprietress knew that because without her, the old man would indeed not have the heart to live anymore, even an outsider could see it so thoroughly, and she was stupid to think that it would be good if she just died, it was really stupid, stupid.
"Am I going to die now and can't die?"
"You really want to die now, but you can't die. ”
"Of course the boss lady won't die, because as a bandit, you're going to die soon!"
At this time, Li Xian finally arrived, and saw the bad guy who didn't look like a bad guy no matter how he looked at it, he finally knew that bad guys and good guys didn't look at faces, wouldn't the boss lady be a ready-made right material at this time?
"Little brother, you are very interesting, you have actually reached the early stage of the Holy Realm at a young age, it seems that it will not be long before you break through to the middle stage, and now you are dead, isn't it a pity?"
The middle-aged scribe was not surprised by Li Xian's arrival, and still said lightly.
Li Xian approached the proprietress and said perfunctorily: "Uncle, you are not too young, you should be the age to take care of your old age, you don't enjoy the good Qingfu, but now you are going to die here, isn't it a pity?"
"Little brother seems crazy?"
"Generally, it's just that he just happened to kill a famous three-master and can't be killed, it seems that he is still a thief. ”
Li Xian said visibly excitedly.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged scribe not only looked surprised, but his face was happy, and he said: "In this way, I am here today to get rid of the two thorns who dare to resist the bandits, which is really very convenient." As he spoke, he drew the sword behind his back.
The proprietress stared at Li Xian beside her, and said, "Boy, I don't know what you are, but I still have to advise you, run away and leave me alone, and the sooner the better!"
"Doesn't the proprietress want to live?" said Li Xian.
"Of course, no one will want to die if they can live, but if the opponent is the second leader of the bandits, I don't think you can live if you want to. ”
Old man Mei was really angry, obviously found out that Li Xian had arrived in Zhongzhou, but he suddenly disappeared from the location of Wuyou City, and he didn't say anything about running away in vain, and he didn't even have time to prepare dinner for Mrs. Mei, that guy must be angry at home, right?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, so he couldn't help but increase his speed again.
He could only see a blur of sight for a long time, but he still felt that the speed was not fast enough, and for no reason there was a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, which made him even more irritable.
Nothing will happen, right?
"Bah, bah, bah", what to think, forcibly expelled the uneasiness in his heart, but when he saw that the inn that he had just built with Mrs. Mei a few days ago was coming out of the billowing smoke at this time, his heart, which had barely regained his calm, suddenly fell into the abyss.
"Something happened, something happened, and sure enough, something happened. ”
He said something incoherently, and his mind became mush, and he couldn't understand the hard work of the proprietress at all, so he stumbled towards the inn.
Storming the inn, I saw a few corpses in the hall, which was caused by the poisonous skills that the proprietress was good at, and after getting along for so many years, even if I hadn't seen Mrs. Mei perform it for a long time, but Old Man Mei could see it at a glance, which is why the cooking work is always handled by a big man, just because the food made by Mrs. Mei is not eaten.
Quickly went up to the second floor, and there was no shadow of Mrs. Mei, but finally there was no corpse, Old Man Mei's hanging heart did not settle down a lot, he rushed into the cellar, grabbed his sword, and ran towards the inn.
Boom, suddenly there was an earth-shattering noise in the distance, and the long sword in Old Man Mei's hand fell to the ground, and tears instantly filled his originally dry eyes.
He clearly felt that sword qi, it was the sword qi that only the second master of the bandit had, just that sword made his first divine sword unable to shoot again, but now it broke out not far from his inn, who would be its target?
After a long time, he wiped away his tears and picked up the sword on the ground again.
"Since you have said that you will die together, what are you anxious about? With your mischievous nature, isn't it easy to delay for some time? Burn down the inn? It's also up to you, the old woman, to think of it. ”
He took a step, without speed or strength, but with each step he took, he must have gone farther and deeper than the last, and after only a hundred steps, he could only see his vague figure.
"Two stunned, you also come to eat my sword!"
"Something seems to have passed through us just now?"
Qu Zi inexplicably looked at Song Xuewu, who was the highest cultivator among the three.
Song Xuewu was serious and said: "Where is it, it's clearly a very strong old man." ”
"Sister Xue Wu is really powerful, if I also have such a strong ability as you, maybe Crockpot Town will not have to be bullied. ”
Quzi smiled innocently.
Song Xuewu's face turned red and said, "I'm just cultivating high enough, if you fight, you should still aim for Xiao Xianzi." ”
"Old man, master, is it the boss's husband who has returned?"
Du Yinglan speculated: "Because what he is rushing in is the direction of the boss lady now!"
The three of them glanced at each other and nodded in unison, it seems that what the boss lady said is right, if someone kills the boss lady, she will indeed regret it.
