Chapter 12: The Inn's Turmoil
It was still the remote hut, Shi Yi respectfully handed over the demon core to Xiao Mo, and reported what happened in the weapon shop before.
"Please forgive me for the inconsiderate reception of the guests. Xiao Mo said suddenly.
A silver bell-like laugh came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and a graceful figure walked in.
"The concubine came uninvited, and I hope that the son will not be surprised. "This figure is the Senior Sister Mo in Cangshi's mouth," Mo Cangyi, a disciple of the Cangchen Sect, has seen Gongzi. I don't know what to call Childe?"
Seeing Mo Cangyi suddenly appear, how could Shi Yi not know that he was being followed. He immediately drew his weapon and looked at Mo Cangyi vigilantly, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
"Shi Yi, step aside. Waving his hand to stop Shi Yi, Xiao Mo looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and said, "Xiao Mo." ”
"It turned out to be Xiao Gongzi. The concubine was still thinking that the mysterious weapon designer was an old man who was dozens of years old, but she didn't expect Xiao Gongzi to be so young. Mo Cangyi said in a coquettish voice.
"Miss Mo is looking for me, I don't know what to do?"
"The concubine wanted to ask Xiao Gongzi for a weapon design drawing, and in return, the concubine could give Xiao Gongzi a purification charm. Mo Cangyi said with a smile, but there was a flash of light in his slightly squinted eyes.
Xiao Mo glanced at Mo Cangyi in surprise, although he was very shocked in his heart, but he said quietly on the surface: "I don't know who this design is asking for?
"My little junior brother Cangshi. ”
"Okay, deal!"
After Mo Cangyi left, Xiao Mo smiled faintly: "After Mo Cangyi goes back, he will definitely ask the people of the Ling Mansion to investigate me, and there will be a lot of trouble at that time, but what is this compared to it? Not to mention that there is still an account between me and Ling Hong." ”
Between the index finger and middle finger of Xiao Mo's right hand, there was a white talisman.
"What did you say?"
A loud shout suddenly sounded in the Ling Mansion, and Ling Hong looked at the people in front of him with anger on his face.
"Mo Cangyi actually asked you to investigate a man named Xiao Mo? And the result of your investigation is that the man is still a low-level mercenary? The mercenary hired by the Su family to protect Su Lianyi?"
He Ling Hong is also a talent, and his cultivation talent is also very high, and he already has the strength of an intermediate imperial master in his twenties. He has always been confident in his charm, but he has repeatedly hit a wall in front of Mo Cangyi.
Since the other party was a disciple of the Cangchen Sect, Ling Hong didn't think much about it.
However, now someone suddenly told him that Mo Cangyi was investigating a man, and it was also a small mercenary, and he instantly exploded towards the proud Ling Hong.
In order to better protect Su Lianyi, the four mercenary groups were divided into two groups to take turns to protect, and today happened to be the day when the Red Lotus mercenary group rested.
As soon as Xiao Mo returned to the inn, several mercenaries who were drinking in the hall greeted him warmly: "Xiao Mo, come over and have a drink together." Don't just think about cultivating every day, look at you, you're about to cultivate yourself into a piece of wood. ”
On weekdays, Xiao Mo is silent and obsessed with cultivation, no wonder everyone has such an impression of him.
Xiao Mo had obtained a purification charm from Mo Cangyi before, which eliminated the slave mark on his body, so he was in a very good mood, so he didn't refuse, and walked over to drink with a few people.
The cups were changed, and the chips were staggered, and several people were very happy to drink.
Suddenly, there was a cacophony of voices in the inn, interrupting the interest of several people. More than a dozen people suddenly poured into the inn, led by Young Master Ling Hong.
Entering the inn, a subordinate beside Ling Hong glanced at the hall, pointed in one direction and said, "Young Master, Xiao Mo is there." ”
Looking in the direction of the subordinates' fingers, Ling Hong saw seven or eight people drinking happily around a table, and Ling Hong immediately walked over with a group of subordinates.
"Which of you is Xiao Mo?" Ling Hong's tone revealed an unstoppable force.
"Young Master Ling is good. Several mercenaries knew Ling Hong, and immediately stood up and bowed in greeting. Only Xiao Mo was still as steady as Mount Tai, sitting on a stool and drinking slowly with a wine glass.
There was no need for anyone to point out such a situation, and Ling Hong also knew who Xiao Mo was.
Seeing Xiao Mo not taking himself in his eyes like this, Ling Hong only felt that he had been greatly insulted, and a wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart.
"Boy, you little mercenary, do you know what will happen if you offend our young master? A guard beside Ling Hong yelled at Xiao Mo arrogantly.
Originally, the arrival of Ling Hong and the others had already attracted the attention of many guests in the inn, and as soon as the guards said this, everyone immediately looked here. Many people even whispered.
"It's Young Master Ling Hongling, that mercenary dares to offend Young Master Ling, it seems that he can't see the sun tomorrow. ”
"Did that kid get kicked in the head by a donkey? He dared to be so arrogant in front of Young Master Ling, he really didn't know how to write the word dead. ”
"Those mercenaries seem to have been hired by the Su family, he is against Young Master Ling like this, is he getting the support of the Su family, you must know that the relationship between the four major families is not very good now. ”
"You're thinking too much, it's just a little mercenary, even if Young Master Ling kills him, the Su family won't say anything, it's just that this kid can't see the situation clearly. ”
The guests of the inn all looked like they were watching a good show, in short, no one was optimistic about Xiao Mo.
Seeing Xiao Mo sitting there motionless, the rest of the mercenaries kept glancing at him, but they didn't get the slightest response.
Seeing this scene, Ling Hong suddenly laughed, and he said to the rest of the mercenaries: "If you don't want to be implicated, go aside, you have to think clearly about the consequences of staying here." ”
Several mercenaries hesitated for a while, but chose to leave.
"Haha, Xiao Mo, look at you, you're just a little mercenary, just drinking, completely ignoring the situation of your teammates. Now that even your teammates have abandoned you, it's really amazing that you can still sit here and drink in peace!"
I have to say that Ling Hong's trick to sow discord was quite clever, and he saw that the faces of a few mercenaries who walked to the side turned blue and white, and the eyes that looked at Xiao Mo no longer had the enthusiasm they had before, but revealed a kind of alienation.
Xiao Mo picked up the wine glass and took another sip of wine before he said lightly: "Young Master Ling, didn't Ling Zun teach you that it is the most rude thing to disturb others to eat?" From Ling Hong's appearance to the present, Xiao Mo didn't look at Ling Hong at all from beginning to end.
Xiao Mo's attitude completely angered Ling Hong and his men. Ling Hong forcibly suppressed the urge to kill the other party, and said to Xiao Mo in a cold tone: "Boy, give you a chance to live, kneel down and kowtow to me three times, learn to bark three times, Young Master Ben will spare your dog life today." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Mo glanced up at Ling Hong obliquely, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.
"Then I'll give you a chance, kneel down and kowtow to me thirty times, learn thirty dog barks, and I'll spare your dog life today. Xiao Mo's face did not change, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ling Hong snorted coldly and said, "I don't know if I live or die!" With a wave of his hand, the subordinates around him immediately rushed towards Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo jumped up from his seat with a wine jug in his right hand, and his staggering appearance after landing on the ground caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding guests.
But soon they couldn't stop laughing, because Xiao Mo's seemingly drunken and swaying figure had magically dodged all the attacks. The seemingly random waving of arms had knocked three people to the ground.
"Is he really drunk? How can he be so powerful!"
"He dared to fight back, and now he was absolutely dead. ”
Seeing that his men were knocked to the ground by Xiao Mo one after another, Ling Hong could not stand it, and drew the long sword at his waist and prepared to make a move.
At this moment, a majestic voice came from behind him.
"Ling Hong, I see if you dare to touch a single hair of his hair!"
When Ling Hong heard this, he turned around and saw Tang Chenglong walking into the inn in a hurry.
There were two people behind him, one of them was Tang Jin, and the other was Shi Yi.
Tang Cheng's appearance was beyond everyone's expectations, and for a while, the entire tavern was quiet and could be heard.
"Uncle Tang, what do you mean by this? Do you want to make a feud with my Ling family for this little mercenary?" Although the long sword in his hand had been put down, Ling Hong's mouth was unconvinced.
Tang Cheng glanced at Ling Hong lightly and said, "First, you can't represent the Ling family now, embarrassing you and embarrassing the Ling family are two different things. Second, do I need you to teach me what to do?"
Hearing Tang Cheng's words, Ling Hong's face turned blue and white for a while, and his face was a little unbearable. Raising his foot, he kicked up to a few guards lying beside him, and scolded in his mouth: "Don't hurry up, it's embarrassing." ”
Ling Hong walked away with his subordinates like this, he didn't want to let the Tang family and the Su family join forces because of him.
Xiao Mo walked up to the few mercenaries standing on the side, and said lightly, "You don't have to worry about this incident. ”
Then he walked up to Tang Cheng, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord Tang, let's talk in a different place." ”
After Xiao Mo and the four left, the entire inn became lively again, and the guests kept discussing what had just happened.
"I'll go! What is the origin of that little mercenary, Lord Tang will actually help him out, that is Lord Tang Cheng, a three-star forger! I can't imagine it. ”
"No wonder he was so calm and calm in the face of Young Master Ling before, it turned out that Master Tang supported him, it was really amazing. ”
"It just turned so fast. Young Master Ling was looking for trouble, his mercenary partners abandoned him and fought with Young Master Ling's men, and Lord Tang came to relieve the siege. It's been a lot of twists and turns. ”
Xiao Mo followed Tang Cheng and his son back to the blacksmith shop and nodded to Shi Yi.
He had expected that Ling Hong would come to trouble him, so he had already made arrangements for Shi Yi to reveal his identity to Tang Cheng and his son, and get their support.
Everything was expected, and Ling Hong could only suffer a dumb loss.
