Chapter Eighty-Eight: Everyone dies, but sooner or later it is different
"Ahem!" Guan Sheng coughed a few times, interrupted the dart master's words, and glared at him angrily.
"Hey, hey!" The dart master knew that he was speechless, touched his head and said with a smile: "Lin Shaoxia, you have a noble status, why are you asking about these dirty things." ”
Am I noble? Lin Fan pursed his lips and muttered in his heart, I still have one hundred and seventy taels of silver and I don't know where to get it, if it weren't for so many people watching, in fact, I would also want to pick up clothes...
Guan Sheng pondered for a while, then suddenly shouted to stop the action of the iron pillar, and beckoned to the dart master beside him: "Take the gold and silver on your body, don't move your clothes, these people don't look like people in the green forest, collect the corpse and burn it, move fast!" You can't stay here for long. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse and said, "The clothes outside these people are in tatters, but the close-fitting clothes are very delicate, and there are a few crossbows. The bow is not a common homemade weapon. Even if it is a nobleman's private slave soldier, disguised and disguised, I don't know if there are any marks in these clothes, or don't make extraneous branches, so grasp it tightly! ”
Guan Sheng was giving orders here, when a sudden change occurred, a dead corpse at the foot of the iron pillar suddenly got up, picked up a long knife on the ground, and stabbed it into the abdomen of the iron pillar while he was unprepared, and then split his abdomen with a fierce blow, kicked him over and turned around and ran.
This sudden scene made everyone present stunned, and then Guan Sheng and the others chased after him like crazy, Guan Sheng was the first to catch up with the robber, slapped him in the back of the heart and knocked him down, followed by the angry knife of the dart master who cut him into pulp.
"Don't stuff it, the stream is flowing out, is it still useful to stuff it back?" Tie Zhu leaned against a stone, looked at the dart master in front of him, and tearfully stuffed his intestines back into his stomach.
"Second brother, do you still have wine in that wine gourd?" Tie Zhu smiled forcefully, his eyes straight into the wine gourd hanging from the waist of one of the dart masters.
"Drink, drink! You fuck, this time Lao Tzu is not distressed, my daughter-in-law has a gourd and pillar in her mouth, you drink it to your mouth, it can be regarded as kissing a woman, and it is not in vain to come to the world. ”
"Fuck off." Tie Zhu took the wine gourd, and did not put it in his mouth, but raised the wine gourd high, raised his head and drank a few sips, and as soon as he drank it, it flowed out from his abdomen, mixed with blood.
"It's a pity, the wine is good wine, even the fuck has flowed out, and I'm blind." Tie Zhu sighed with some regret, suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said to the people around him awkwardly: "Actually, I secretly prostituted, just after I won the money last time, don't fucking make it look like I've never touched a woman." ”
Qin Hongyan pushed away the crowd, squatted down to check Tie Zhu's injuries, and shook his head at Lin Fan and Guan Sheng, who had just walked over.
"Brother..."Guan Sheng looked at the iron pillar sadly, gritted his teeth, took out a dagger from his arms and handed it over.
"I'm fine, don't feel bad." Tie Zhu took the dagger and grinned, and after aiming the dagger at himself, he hesitated for a moment before handing the knife back to Guan Sheng.
"Acquaintance, in the end, the young owner gave me a ride, move faster, I have endured it and didn't say it, it hurts. In addition, the young owner is right, you can't stay here for a long time, don't bother, just burn it with those miscellaneous pieces. ”
"Okay." Guan Sheng nodded, silently walked in front of Tie Zhu, hugged him tightly with one hand, held the dagger in the other hand, and slammed it forward, inserting the dagger into Tie Zhu's temple.
Seeing that Tie Zhu closed his eyes and his chest no longer rose and fell, Lin Fan knew that this man who had been with him for half a month was gone, and the person who had greeted him this morning was so inexplicable and ridiculous.
Is this the attitude of the Jianghu people towards life and death? Tie Zhu's composure before he died deeply shocked him, and Tie Zhu's worthless death also shocked him.
"People often say that people in the rivers and lakes are a high-risk business, some are hacked to death with knives, some are shot by darts, and some are poisoned..."
"The people in the rivers and lakes who lick the blood from the knife edge, everyone will die, sooner or later."
In Lin Fan's mind, Master Xiaoyaozi's joking words appeared again, yes... If you are not careful, you will die in such a mess.
I am also a Jianghu person, when will I die, and how will I die? Lin Fan asked himself if he had a koi physique, he didn't know, but he had already understood that he was not the protagonist, and he couldn't always have a thrilling laugh to the end.
If it weren't for the blue smoke coming from the ancestral tomb, I am afraid that after these calamities in the Huashan Sword Sect, I would have died unexpectedly. This reckless nature should be changed.
After the surviving dart master waited for the iron pillar to die, he stopped his grief, perhaps for death, whether it was an enemy or his own people, it was commonplace.
With a numb face, they gathered all the corpses at the scene and threw them into the fire along with the iron pillars.
Lin Fan Guan Sheng and Qin Hongyan didn't make a move, and quietly walked back to the truck, together with the dart master who was guarding near the goods no matter what happened, waiting for his companions to finish their work, and then continue to hurry together.
Seeing Guan Sheng's complicated expression, Lin Fan wanted to persuade him, but Qin Hongyan stopped him with a look, it seemed that letting Guan Sheng be alone and quiet at this time was the best choice.
After everyone was done, with their backs to the raging fire, the group set off again, and the smile was on Guan Sheng's face again, as if nothing had happened just now.
Lin Fan glanced at him secretly, did the pain in his heart hide behind this smile? This man, who is only a few months older than himself, has a lot more burden on his shoulders than himself.
A few days later, the group arrived in Luoyang, and there was no danger on the road. After layers of investigation, the team successfully entered the city, compared with other cities, Luoyang's security is much tighter.
The neat streets are bustling and noisy, with all kinds of vendors, high-rise buildings everywhere, nobles dressed in silk and satin abound, and even the clothes of ordinary people are very neat and tidy, a thriving scene.
There is also a gorgeous and noble small city in the center of Luoyang City, according to Guan Sheng, there is the imperial palace, Lin Fan originally wanted to visit it, but he was told that it was impossible to even get close to that neighborhood, let alone visit, so he had to dismiss the idea stupidly.
After the group found the owner of the goods and checked and handed over the goods, Guan Sheng and the others were obviously relaxed, and the nerves that had been tense were also relaxed, and fatigue appeared on their faces for the first time.
"Brother Guan, have you ever been curious, what are the things you are desperately escorting?" Lin Fan, who was standing at the door of the owner's house, waited for Guan Sheng and the others to come out, and then leaned up and asked.
"No, there are rules to the line, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't be curious about what you shouldn't know." Guan Sheng shook his head, then looked up at Qin Hongyan, and asked reluctantly in his eyes: "Miss Qin, now that you are in Luoyang, what are your next plans?" ”
"Me? Since you have successfully delivered the goods, then I should also go, I will go to the palace in a while, although the imperial court no longer cares about the affairs of the rivers and lakes and martial arts, but our Perak Hall is not among them, and the firearms we developed need to be reported to the imperial court. I'm going to take the newly developed thunderbolt sample and hand it over to the official, so let's leave it at that. Qin Hongyan smiled heartily, without the slightest sense of sadness when parting, patted Guan Sheng and Lin Fan on the shoulders, and turned to leave.
"Hey, wait! Miss Qin, can you take me with you to the palace? Lin Fan suddenly asked out loud, looking at Qin Hongyan with great interest and expectation.
"I can't." Qin Hongyan looked back and smiled, and simply refused neatly.
"Don't be stupid, you can only enter the imperial city by Miss Qin alone, besides, even she can't enter the palace, there will be a special place to receive her when you enter the inner city, do you think she is going to face the saint."
Guan Sheng grabbed Lin Fan's shoulders, and then said, "Okay, the matter is done, let's go with a drink, relax, play in Luoyang City for a few days, visit friends, and then I should go back with the team." ”
Guan Sheng pulled Lin Fan and walked into the most famous restaurant in Luoyang City, the two of them ate and drank, chatted until the evening before they were ready to leave, and just about to go out, there was a sudden commotion on the upper floor of the restaurant, which attracted the attention of the two of them.
"I said that you guys should pack up and leave, and my lord will receive guests in this best private room." A richly dressed man, followed by many guards, blocked the door of the private room on the top floor of the restaurant, and impatiently urged the guests inside.
If you don't listen to him, no one can guess that this person is someone else's slave just by looking at his appearance and clothes.
There was only one middle-aged man in the private room who was drinking, and he was followed by four guards, and when he saw the man at the door speaking disrespectfully, three of the guards glared at him in unison, and his eyes shot cold stars.
The last guard, like a statue, kept his eyes half-squinted, without the slightest reaction, and strangely, if you didn't stare at him, you could barely perceive his presence.
Before the guards could make a move, the middle-aged man who was drinking stopped their next move with his eyes.
Although the middle-aged man is middle-aged, he is well maintained, his fair skin is like jade, the perfect eyebrow shape is more in line with his heroic spirit, his thin lips are pursed, his brows are furrowed, as if he is troubled by something, but this frowning appearance makes people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.
"In this Luoyang City, there are powerful people everywhere, you neither ask nor inquire, you will drive me away as soon as you come up, I am really curious about who your master is, giving you such a big courage." The middle-aged man didn't look at Diao Nu at the door, lowered his head and picked up the vegetables and put them in his mouth to chew, with an indifferent face.
"What about the powerful everywhere? Which one is better than my master? My lord is the prime minister of the dynasty, who is above 10,000 people under one person. The Diao slave arched his hand above his head, and said proudly and arrogantly.
