Episode 68: Cute puppy, spicy and refreshing (plus more)
Ten miles east of the city, in the middle of a grove.
A bonfire, burning in the middle of the night after the third watch, the beating flames, reflecting a familiar face, it was Ding Xiu who had taken off his disguise, he was the prey in his hands, but he never thought that at this moment, in the night wind, a familiar figure floated in the wind.
"Meet the Pavilion Master!"
The person who came was none other than the only woman among Ding Xiu's three confidants........ The startled salamander, after seeing her coming, she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Ding Xiu's prey in the place: "The puppy is so cute, how can you bear to kill it, pavilion master?" ”
Faced with the accusations of female subordinates, Ding Xiu turned a deaf ear and asked instead of answering: "Do you want to be spicy?" ”
"Yes!"
The startled salamander subconsciously responded, but as soon as the words came out, she regretted it, what's the matter, the words that came out were like splashed water, where could she get it back?
"Hah!"
Ding Xiu heard this, but he chuckled to himself, and then, I saw him roast the processed dog meat on the fire, sprinkle a little pepper, no way, this year, the chili pepper has not been introduced to the Central Plains, I want to eat spicy, suspicious pepper, pepper, pepper, but the spicy degree is still good.
After a while, the aroma came out, and a satisfied smile appeared on Ding Xiu's face, after many years, in addition to this body's martial arts, what made him most proud was this barbecue technique.
No way, I used to stay in the mountains, although Xuanzhenguan did not taboo meat, but also mostly vegetarian, after a long time, where could Ding Xiu endure it, so he often went into the mountains to hunt and fight tooth sacrifices, and the valley where he practiced was found in this way.
As the saying goes, once born, second ripe, Ding Xiu is not a stupid person, plus he has the help of gold fingers, even if he does not deliberately specialize, after a long time, he has naturally practiced a good craft.
"It smells so good!"
Although the startling salamander knows some skills, in front of Ding Xiu, it is the class to get the axe, fortunately, as an excellent employee with excellent professionalism, it is still okay to rub the boss with a barbecue.
The puppy was not big, and it was quickly wiped out by the two, if the salamander was a modern person, at this time, it should come to a heartfelt sigh: "Oh mom, it's so fragrant!" ”
It's a pity that she is not, Ding Xiu naturally couldn't wait for this exclamation, and only after eating and drinking enough, he asked indifferently: "In the battle during the day, what are our casualties?" ”
"This ........."
The startled salamander hesitated a little, but finally answered truthfully: "Don't hide it from the pavilion master, in the battle during the day, we lost twelve people, and six people were too injured and needed a long time to recuperate. ”
"Uh-huh........"
When Ding Xiu heard this, his face sank, and then he ordered in a deep voice: "Let the sun cover the aftermath of the work, the pensions of the injured and dead brothers must be paid in place, since they are willing to work for me, I must not treat them badly!" ”
"Yes!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the startled salamander immediately responded, looking at Ding Xiu's gaze, there was clearly a trace of fanatical faith, in fact, it was precisely because of this that she was chosen by Ding Xiu to become the sword master of the startled salamander!
"How's Xuan Jian doing?"
Ding Xiu said: "I heard that he was hit by a sword, is his injury serious?" ”
Hearing this, the startled salamander immediately replied: "It's just a skin injury, it's not serious, it's too arrogant, he has to pick up seven masters on the other side alone, and only one sword, he is lucky." ”
In this regard, Ding Xiu was also very helpless, although Xuan Jian was not the highest martial artist among the three, he was the most aggressive of the three, this kind of thing, he did it, fortunately, the injury was not serious, and it should not affect the next plan.
At that moment, Ding Xiu said in a deep voice: "Let the remaining brothers prepare, once they receive my signal, they will take over the wealth on the first floor of Tsing Yi as quickly as possible." ”
"This ........"
The startled salamander hesitated, "Don't you care about the third floor master's side?" ”
"No, you don't."
Ding Xiu smiled indifferently and said: "What she wants is not money, of course, when she discovers the secret of the so-called one hundred and eighth floor of Tsing Yi, she may regret it, but unfortunately, although there are many people selling medicine in this world, none of them are regret medicines!" ”
When the startled salamander heard this, there was silence for a while.
But this silence did not last long, because, after seeing that the eastern sky was already flushed with a trace of fish white, Ding Xiu didn't say a word, and directly waved his hand to signal the startled salamander to retreat, and then took a cloth bag, packed the dog bones on the ground, and then took out the letter arrow from his arms and launched it into the sky.
This is the unique contact information of the owner of the Tsing Yi Building, the special gunpowder letter arrow, exploding in the dark night sky, there will be bright cyan fireworks, very conspicuous, but the meaning is only known to the people inside the Tsing Yi Building.
Not long after, there was a light footstep in Ding Xiu's ears, but it was not a person, but a group of people, but for Ding Xiu, there seemed to be no big difference between a person and a group of people.
Therefore, he stood quietly by the bonfire and waited, and soon, a familiar figure in black came into his eyes, and the person who came naturally would not be someone else, but ..........
"First floor master."
Ding Xiu looked at the familiar black-clothed man in front of him, and an undetectable gleam flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke indifferently and greeted: "This time, you seem to have come a little late." ”
"It's not too late, it's not too late."
It was still the familiar hoarse voice, and the first floor master responded in the same indifferent tone: "I know that in this world, no one can escape Shura's quick knife!" ”
"Really?"
Ding Xiu asked undeniably: "Then according to this, as the master of the first floor, aren't you going to abdicate and make way for Xian?" After all......... Our Tsing Yi Building has long had a clear rule that the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected! ”
"This ........"
Hearing this, the owner of the first floor couldn't help but be speechless, before he came, he had imagined countless possibilities, but he never thought that Ding Xiu would ask such a question, which made him not know how to respond for a while.
Fortunately, he was not an ordinary person after all, so he quickly stabilized his mind and pretended to be calm: "Shura, you are joking, let's verify the results of your mission first." ”
"Well said."
Ding Xiu handed out the cloth bag in response, and the owner of the first floor couldn't wait to take it, and opened it to take a look, who would have thought that what caught his eye was not the expected head of a lonely crane, but a pile of dog bones!
"This ........"
Slightly stunned, then came back to his senses, and the first floor owner was suddenly furious: "Shura, you'd better give me an explanation, what is this?" ”
"The life of a lonely crane!"
Ding Xiu replied of course: "I promised to take Dugu Yihe's dog life for you, what you see now is the bones of the puppy raised by Dugu Yihe, how about it, I have completed this task completely enough!" ”
"Damn!"
When the owner of the first floor heard this, he was already furious in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Shura, you are playing with me!" ”
"Wrong!"
Ding Xiu immediately corrected: "It's not that I trick you, but you trick me first!" The moment the words fell, a gust of night wind blew his shirt, revealing the short knife at his waist, and then, with a sonorous long roar, the short knife snatched out of its sheath, and with lightning speed, in the moment of lightning and fire, a blade was drawn.
Fast, indescribably fast, incredibly fast, so fast that I didn't have time to react, and in the blink of an eye, the sharp knife roared through the air, and it had already crossed the throat of the first floor master.........
