Chapter 186: A Clear Path

"Four masters......

The last "official" who rode a horse called Zeng Jiu was dumbfounded as soon as he opened his bow and arrow.

In just two breaths, the strongest of them was slaughtered with a horse and a man, and he didn't understand that this was kicked to the iron plate!

Also, in such a territory as Changzhou, or in winter, where would it be good to dare to wander outside on horseback alone?

He lowered his bow and was about to flee on horseback, but Tsurumi Hatsukumo grabbed the Aoba dart and threw it again, and the cyan streamer reappeared, piercing his chest and killing him on the spot.

The remaining two also wanted to drive away, but the Aoba dart who flew back didn't agree, and in the blink of an eye, another person was killed, and the last person was also stabbed in the heart by the sword of Tsurumi Hatsuun, who caught up, and snorted a few times and stopped moving.

The snow beneath her feet was red with blood, and she stood still and took the Aoba dart and sword back into the storage space, and the life god armor on her body also dissipated.

In the cage, a young man with a mole on his face crawled out of it, knelt on the ground and shouted to her with a handful of snot and tears: "Woman! Woman! Saving grace! ”

Tsuru saw that Chuyun was a little speechless, but it was not the person in front of him who was speechless, but Shen Yi.

"Old witch, what are you doing in a daze? Touch the corpse! See if there are any storage bags or something. ”

Taking a deep breath, she could only do what Shen Yi said, bending down to examine the corpses of these fake officials.

The young man was stunned for a moment when he saw her ignoring him, and when he reacted, he remembered something, and hurriedly came to the corpse of the four masters, ripped off the storage bag on it, and hung it on his waist.

Tsurumi Hatsuun, who had examined two corpses in a row and found nothing, looked at him silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I'll go, boy!" Shen Yi couldn't cry or laugh for a while, except for the one who was called the fourth master, the others may not be very good, and the storage bag is probably only the fourth master.

"Just save his life, and you still want our loot? Go and grab it, and if you don't give it, you'll beat him up for a dog day. Shen Yi shouted in the consciousness space, but he was stunned for a moment after shouting.

No, when did we become "grandpa goldfinger"?

"I see." She replied to Shen Yi, walked towards the young man without saying a word, and stretched out her hand in front of him.

"Woman, you are ......"

"Give me something."

"What's that?"

She reached out and pointed to the storage bag around the other's waist and spread her hand again.

The young man immediately understood, and hurriedly covered the storage bag with his hand and said, "This ...... It's mine! ”

"Yours?"

"Yes, it's mine!"

Seeing that he didn't give it, a touch of coldness flashed in Tsurumi Hatsuun's eyes.

Just now, she didn't blink her eyes, and the scene of killing six people in one breath was still vivid, and the young man also shuddered when he noticed the murderous aura on his body, and explained in a trembling tone: "Really...... It's really mine, it's just that these four masters have taken it for themselves, they are a group of bandits, where do they have a bag? If you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, you can ask......"

He swept around, but everyone was killed, and where there were other people to testify against him, he could only say like this: "If you don't believe in the woman, go up the mountain with me to the thief's village and ask." ”

Seeing that his tone and demeanor didn't look like he was lying, Tsurumi Hatsukumo could only give up and let him go to check on the corpses of others.

As he said, these bandits simply can't afford to have space storage bags, and she rummaged through everyone's corpses, and the wrench in the hand of the fourth master looked worth a little money, while the others did.

There was really nothing to gain, Tsurumi Hatsumo could only ride on the horse and continue to hurry, seeing this, the young man hurriedly untied a horse from the prisoner cart and followed, and then said with a flattering face: "Woman, woman!" is called Zhuo Mingjin, what is the name of the woman? ”

"Jiang Yiyi."

"I really can't imagine it, that sunrise Fenghe Town looked at you with curiosity, I thought that I would not have any intersection with the woman in this life, but I didn't expect to meet you today to save my life, this fate is so wonderful."

Tsuru saw Chuyun glancing at him, too lazy to say anything, but Zhuo Ming's golden mouth didn't stop, and asked, "By the way, Woman, where are you going?" ”

"To the north."

"Northern ......" Zhuo Mingjin's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, and then turned into disappointment, this is not the same way as himself, looking at the sky, it will be dark in another hour, and it is very dangerous to be alone outside.

He looked at her from behind, different from the first time he saw her, his body was draped in a robe with bright red satin as the surface, and the inside was pure white and soft fox velvet, this thing, not to mention ordinary people, even the young master of his own family, I am afraid it is difficult to afford it.

Although it looks average, the temperament is ...... Somehow, Zhuo Mingjin has a strong sense of déjà vu when he meets his own sister.

The main thing is that sense of distance......

Could it be that he was also from a proud family?

He thought so.

But it shouldn't be, the daughter of the big family generally won't go out, even if she goes out, she will bring several servants with her, and the worst will bring two maids, like her eldest sister, when she goes out, the guards, domestic servants, and maids are all with her, mighty, like the stars holding the moon.

This Jiang Yiyi in front of him, in two moves, directly killed the fourth master who had a positive level to break through the level of cultivation, his strength was at least in the net level, and his age seemed to be three or four years younger than himself, such a person, there must be at least two powerful guards around him, right?

Thinking of the magic weapon she threw out before, and the horse she was riding under her now was not an ordinary mortal horse, I am afraid that she is a master who is not short of money?

Just as he was thinking about it, Tsurumi Hatsuyun suddenly asked out loud: "When you were in Fenghe Town, I remember that there were a lot of people around you, right?" Why is it the way it is? ”

"Huh? Oh, when I finished my business in Fenghe Town, I wanted to go back to the family to make an errand, but I didn't expect to be met by this group of bandits in the boundary of the snake and hill, so I would appear here. ”

"Everyone else is dead?"

"Well, that's right."

"Why didn't they kill you?"

"Alas~ It's not that those thieves know that I am from the Li'an family, so they want to take me to Li'an County to extort some money from my Zhuo family."

"Hmm."

"Woman, what are you doing in the north? It's not very peaceful. ”

"I was separated from the elders in my family and went to the north just to find them."

"This ...... It's not an easy thing to find someone, Woman, I, Zhuo Mingjin, is not very good, but it's a heavy kindness, or the Woman won't go to the north for the time being, follow me to Li'an County, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord and repay the heroine for saving her life today. He said with a sincere face.

Shen Yi couldn't help but lick his teeth after hearing this, and said strangely: "Good guy, if you look for a bodyguard, you will find a bodyguard, and repay the favor." ”

Tsuru saw Chuyun glancing at him again, she also saw it on the map in Anxian County, it was not far from Taoshan Village, about two hundred miles, in the northwest direction, and to go there was to delay her time, so she naturally couldn't go, so she shook her head, and her tone was flat and emotionless.

"Do it easily, and you don't have to repay the favor."

"Uh......" Zhuo Mingjin's face showed a little embarrassment, he couldn't hear it, the other party refused.

Or did you guess your true intentions......

But in order for himself to be able to return home safely, he can only bite the bullet.

"Woman...... I'll tell you the truth, there is still a lot of distance from here to Li'an County, I am afraid that it will be difficult to finish alone, so I want to ask the woman to accompany me, you can rest assured, when you arrive in Li'an County, my Zhuo family will be grateful. ”

"That's your business, what does it have to do with me?"

"Woman, you can do it."

Zhuo Mingjin had already begun to plead, but Tsurumi Hatsuyun stopped talking and ignored him directly.

"Woman?"

“……”

"Woman? My aunt has a good magic weapon on her, and if she goes to Li'an County, I will give it with both hands! ”

“……”

"Woman~"

“……”

shouted a few times in a row, but didn't hear her respond, Zhuo Mingjin could only shut his mouth and rode a thin horse to follow behind and think about something.

The two of them were very quiet along the way, and as the sky gradually darkened, Tsurumi Hatsumo saw the glacier in the distance, and subconsciously pulled the reins to stop the horse, but when she looked back at Zhuo Mingjin, who was still following her, she frowned, and had no choice but to continue walking.

Zhuo Mingjin seemed to see something, realized that something was wrong with him, and the next second he raised a flattering smile on his face, looking like a dog, and asked: "Woman, if there is anything, you can just tell me, although I am also a child of the family, I can also help with some chores." ”

"Help ......" His words reminded Tsurumi Hatsuyun of something, the horse stopped again on the snow, and the moment he turned around, Zhuo Mingjin's eyes also flashed with hope, but the next second the question she asked made him stunned.

"Do you have any money on you?"

"Money...... Money? He originally thought that this ginger woman was not short of money......

Reacting, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes." ”

"How many?"

Zhuo Mingjin sank down and counted in the storage bag, "There are one hundred taels of silver, and some copper coins." ”

"One hundred taels ......" Tsuru saw that Hatsukumo seemed to calculate something, fell into deep thought, and after a while she stretched out her hand and said, "Give me ninety-two taels." ”

Zhuo Mingjin didn't know what she wanted ninety-two taels for, but if she could let this woman escort her back to Li'an County for only ninety-two taels of silver, it would be worth it.

He boldly placed four small silver ingots on her palm, totaling a hundred taels.

Tsurumi Hatsukumo checked it, feeling that the weight was about the same, and then took out eight silver coins and threw them over.

"This is ......" He hurriedly took it, and before he could react, he saw the other party gesture to him with his eyes, as if he had something else to give him.

He stretched out his hand sneeringly, and when he took it, he looked at it fixedly, this was the Yun Beast Pill, there were four of them.

Zhuo Mingjin was already stupid, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Woman...... What are you doing here? ”

"Ninety-two taels is the money you used to buy the Yun Beast Pill."

Yes, there is no fake.

This wave of operations was also something Shen Yi didn't expect.

"Old witch, you really, I'm crying to death, you can obviously grab it, but you have to give it to someone four beast pills."

“……”

Zhuo Mingjin looked at the four Beast Pills in his hand, his eyes changed for a while, and his expression was extremely strange when he looked at her in the back.

Two people, two horses, left two neat rows of hoof prints on the snow.

After hesitating for a while, he finally opened his mouth and asked: "Woman, are you ...... Alchemist? ”

Tsurumi Hatsumo didn't react, and gave a very bland answer.

"It's not."

"You're really not an alchemist?"

“……”

“…… This Yun Beast Pill is in good condition, and no one usually thinks about selling it. ”

"It's almost all over the body, exchange it for some money."

"I see, I thought the woman was an alchemist, but I didn't want to enter the Ji Yuan Division, so I could still show the woman a clear path." Zhuo Mingjin said casually, looking at the Beast Pill in his hand, his eyes were shining.

This heroine's surname is Jiang, she is separated from the family elders, she wants to go to the north, she has extra pills on her body, and she is very likely to be from a big family, but there is no family surnamed Jiang in Changzhou and Jizhou in Daliang......

These clues were connected by him, gradually forming a vague answer, and he organized what he was going to say next, but he didn't see it at all, and Tsurumi Hatsukumo, who was riding a horse, had a more and more cold look in his eyes.

There was a faint burst of murderous intent.

The casual words just now didn't feel anything to Zhuo Mingjin herself, but for her, it always gave people the feeling that there was something in the words.

"Female ......"

After organizing the language, Zhuo Mingjin was about to speak, but just as he spit out a word, murderous aura emerged!

The slowly falling snowflakes were cut out in an instant, and the cold light swept through, pulling out a round of residual blood on the white earth, although not half a drop of blood fell, but the blade of the sword wrapped in killing intent suddenly startled the horses under him, and suddenly raised his forelimbs and stood up.

Zhuo Mingjin was caught off guard and was thrown heavily on the ground, and then the horse's forelimbs landed, and one turned around and ran backwards for a long distance, running more than ten zhang away before stopping, restlessly stomping on the snow on the ground with his hooves,

He tried to stand up, but as soon as he sat up, his throat was pointed at with a sword.

Looking up, Tsurumi Hatsumo didn't know when she also got off the horse, and the person holding the sword was her.

"Woman...... What are you doing here? ”

"How do you know I'm an alchemist?"

"Huh?"

"Say!"

"I ...... I don't know! Just now, just now, me, just now I just guessed! Zhuo Mingjin was anxious and explained incoherently.

But the other party didn't give him any face, and the tip of the sword was handed forward again, and it was only a slight distance away from piercing his throat.

"How do you guess?"

"I, I, I once met a friend who was also an alchemist, and when I first met, I was like a woman, saying that my family was in urgent need of money, and I wanted to sell pills to subsidize my family, and I felt familiar, so I had this conjecture."

"When?"

"About three years ago, but he was selling Pei Yuan Dan at that time."

Seeing that the long sword in the other party's hand was not put down for a moment, Zhuo Mingjin shouted again.

"Woman, calm down, don't mess around, I'm only over twenty-one this year, and I'm newly married, so I don't want to die so early."

"Don't worry, after answering my question, I won't kill you."

"You ask, you ask, just ask."

"What happened to the alchemist you were talking about?"

"I was recruited into Jiyuan Division, and I haven't seen him for a year."

Tsurumi Hatsukumo's eyes were full of doubt when he looked at him, but seeing his frightened appearance, he still lowered the sword in his hand.

"Get up."

"Yes, yes, yes."

“…… You just said you could show me the way, what do you mean? ”
