Chapter Ninety-Four: Despicable Knife Catcher!
Around evening, the sun was setting in the west and was about to set in the mountains, and Lu Yuan, dressed in a white shirt, appeared outside Xueshen Town.
Lu Yuan carried the slashing abyss on his back and wore a hat on his head, hiding his face in the shadows.
Snow ginseng is worth a lot of money, and he doesn't want to get into unnecessary trouble.
"This is Snow Ginseng Town, it doesn't look big, but it's a lot more lively than Chongshan City..."
As Lu Yuan said to himself, the white mist exhaled was actually visible to the naked eye
The town is located at a high altitude and is located halfway up the mountainside, and in the distance, you can vaguely see the white peaks, and below the snow line is an endless green forest, and the dense pine trees are like a giant umbrella.
The environment here is special, the mountain is covered with snow all the year round, and some precious medicinal materials often grow, among which it is mainly based on high-quality snow ginseng, so it is called Snow Ginseng Town.
Because there is only one town within a radius of 100 miles, most of them will choose this place as their foothold, whether they are in a hurry or passing by to collect medicine.
Over time, the town has become an important transportation hub.
Walking on the stone path in the town, people come and go, there is an endless stream, and there are a variety of shops on both sides of the road, Lu Yuan noticed that many people here are carrying weapons, and the martial artists are almost all over the street.
"Find an inn to stay in first, and then ask where to buy snow ginseng after eating..."
Lu Yuan casually chose an inn that looked well-decorated, paid a tael of silver as a deposit, and got the key to the guest room.
After resting in the room, Lu Yuan went downstairs to eat something.
The first floor is a special dining place in the inn, and there are seven or eight tables and chairs in the small place, almost all of which are full of people, noisy voices, drinking and chatting.
Seeing that there was no empty table, Lu Yuan simply came to a young girl and sat down to share the table.
While drinking the shochu unique to Snow Ginseng Town, I listened to the chatter of the drinkers at the next table.
"Tsk, have you heard, a few days ago, the second Wang in the east of the town was walking shit luck, picking a century-old snow ginseng on the mountain, the quality is simply amazing, but unfortunately before it was hot, he was attacked by a fellow traveler, and even his head was cut off..."
"I heard about it, but it's not a problem, who let him have no ability, I know a more exciting one, Chongshan City has been making trouble recently, do you know, a lot of people have died, and the ghost cries wolf at night!"
"It's really fake, it seems that Chongshan City can't go recently."
A few drinkers drank openly, mouthing gossip that they didn't know where they had heard.
Lu Yuan is idle, listening silently, which is interesting.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Lu Yuan frowned and looked at a middle-aged man in his thirties in the corner.
He looked familiar with this person, as if he had practiced martial arts in the Lu family's martial arts hall.
At that time, Lu Yuan was still young, and he only remembered that this person's name was Li Bai, and he had a good talent in martial arts, and his father personally invited the other party to join the Lu family.
Unexpectedly, after many years, I saw acquaintances again in Snow Ginseng Town.
However, Lu Yuan recognized Li Bai, and Li Bai most likely didn't recognize Lu Yuan.
Looking at Li Bai's figure carefully, he is tall and big, and his breath is fierce, he should have entered the eighth grade.
Li Bai's perception was very keen, and he seemed to have noticed Lu Yuan's gaze, and he also raised his head and glanced in Lu Yuan's direction a few times.
In order not to be regarded as a thief with bad intentions, Lu Yuan avoided his gaze and pretended to be observing everywhere.
The conversation and laughter in the inn are still there, and Lu Yuan's dishes are also served.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves at the door, and three warriors in strong suits walked in with swords, their eyebrows were filled with killing intent, and they looked like they were here to seek revenge.
After the three warriors entered, they glanced around the first floor, and then fixed their eyes on Li Bai.
"Li Bai, you are really here, finally let me catch you!"
Among the three, one of the leading bearded men pulled out the long knife in his hand, pointed at Li Bai and sneered: "Today is your death!" ”
The first floor of the inn, which was originally talking and laughing, was silent in an instant, and everyone was like frightened birds, not daring to make extra sounds, for fear of being bitten by the three of them.
It is clear that a big war is about to break out here.
But the gate was blocked by these few people, and the others wanted to go out but had no way out, so they had no choice but to sit honestly in place and shrink their necks.
However, compared to the fear of others, Li Bai's face was as usual, and even the old god was holding a wine bowl on the ground and drinking it.
After waiting for the wine to bottom out, he put down the bowl, looked at the three of them and said lightly: "The three of you don't know where they came from, Li doesn't seem to have a holiday with you." ”
"Hehe, you don't pretend to be garlic, the double swordsman you killed in Linshui City half a year ago is my own brother, killing is worth your life, I want to use your blood to sacrifice my brother's spirit in the sky!"
The bearded man licked his lips, his gaze fierce.
"Oh, you said that wanted double-knife bandit, I remembered, I exchanged his head for fifty taels of silver in the yamen, shouldn't this kind of person be killed?"
Li Bai recalled the past and asked the other party confidently.
He is a recorded knife catcher of the Great Cadre, which is equivalent to a bounty hunter with an organization, specializing in arresting important criminals wanted by the Yamen.
The two-knife bandit was very cautious and unpredictable.
Li Bai ran three cities, and it took half a month to behead him.
And half a year later, when he was resting in the inn, he was approached by the other party's brother and threatened to avenge him.
"It's not up to you whether you should kill or not, anyway, you're going to die today!"
The bearded man didn't eat Li Bai's set, held the knife in his hand, and walked straight towards the other party.
"Wait!"
Li Bai stood up, stopped the other party, and proposed: "There are many people here, and there are some people who have never practiced martial arts, how about we go out and fight?" ”
"Okay, let's wait for you outside."
The bearded man hesitated and nodded in agreement, the space on the first floor of the inn was a little narrow, and it was a little impossible to use.
He turned and walked outside.
Without warning.
Li Bai moved at this moment, and he took out a long knife from under the table, and the blade rubbed against the scabbard, making a piercing sound.
"Be careful!"
The bearded man's ears moved slightly, and he felt something strange behind him, and hurriedly drew his knife and slashed behind him.
However, Li Bai's target was not him, the long knife slashed, and one of his companions beside the bearded man couldn't dodge, and was beheaded with a knife, and blood gushed like a spring, spraying directly onto the ceiling.
"Murder! Someone's killed! ”
This scene frightened the crowd and the shouts were endless.
I didn't dare to run around, so I could only hide under the table shivering.
"This guy is a ruthless character."
Lu Yuan raised his wine glass and was amazed by Li Bai's knife just now.
His desk was in the corner on the other side of Li Bai, some distance from the battle circle.
"Damn, what a bullshit knife catcher, despicable and shameless, he actually attacked behind his back, and my brother was also killed by your sneak attack!"
The bearded man was furious, and his eyes were red.
