Chapter Fifty-Nine: Killing People and Killing Mouths
After all, Moses is still just a girl, and her acting skills are too far behind Li Zijun. Li Zijun was still smiling, and Moses was starting to get a little impatient, and finally she found an excuse and fled from Li Zijun's eyes.
Lee Zi Joon is definitely a competent actor, and he has been looking at Moses' back with obsessive eyes. It wasn't until she disappeared completely that Lee Zijun took Beatrice back to his room.
"Looks like someone is making a fuss!" Beatrice jumped on the head of Li Zijun's bed and said with a deliberate sigh.
"This girl is really bold enough, she doesn't know my details, she dares to give me such a big set, it's really a little unknowing!" Entering the room, Li Zijun's face also became gloomy.
"This girl has already hit you with an idea, what are you going to do next?" Beatrice asked seriously when she saw that his face was extremely ugly, and no longer laughed at him.
"I've got to know what they're trying to do, and if I'm not mistaken, I'm sure someone will contact her soon, and you'll keep an eye on her. ”
"Wait until we get to know their jihua and then decide what we're going to do next! If they're just trying to take advantage of me, and they're really affectionate, I don't mind building a bridge for them! But if they have anything else in mind, don't blame me!"
Sure enough, as Li Zijun judged, it didn't take long for an old woman to appear in front of Moses' door. The two of them talked briefly for a while, and Moses handed a letter to the old woman, who left the tribe.
This old woman is just a messenger and has no ability to defend herself, and Li Zijun easily made an illusion that made her faint.
Beatrice found Moses' letter from the old woman and handed it to Li Zijun. Seeing the handwriting on the letter, Li Zijun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Gischel, I have secretly contacted that ugly ghost as you instructed, and he promised to give me an answer within three days, I think he should have been tempted!"
"That ugly ghost must be worth a lot of money, and the sword in his hand makes my eldest brother love it, and says that it is more precious than the sword worn by the young chief of Lobito! But don't hurt that ugly ghost! He's pathetic enough, and I don't want him to suffer any more damage for it!
The letter reads: Love you, Moses!
Before reading this letter, Li Zijun was worried about two things: one was worried that Morton would be involved in it and would make money, and the other was worried that Moses would kill people afterwards. Once something like this happens, Li Zijun can only kill the killer.
Now it seems that Morton didn't know about it, and Moses just wanted to get rid of the little bride price!
Li Zijun no longer has the burden of killing, and begins to think about how to help Moses so that she can fly with her lover! He was about to put the letter back on the old woman's body, but Beatrice snatched the letter from his hand, and she put the letter back in the old woman's clothes. Li Zijun didn't think much about Beatrice's performance, and took her back to the tribe.
"You've got that out of Moses, what do you think next?" asked Beatrice, looking at Li Zijun.
"I'll first inquire about Moses' lovers, and if they really like each other, I'll sacrifice a few gold coins to help them. But if there is any problem with Gischel, I will have to refuse Moses' invitation!" Li Zijun was in a much better mood and said to Beatrice with a smile.
Soon Li Zijun figured out the reason why Morton resolutely opposed his sister's love, that Gichel was the youngest son of a tribal chief, although his background was not bad, but he was extremely vicious! He had whipped his own woman to death many times, and of course Morton would not be at ease that his sister would marry such a person.
Hearing Morton's explanation, Li Zijun could only refuse Moses' 'flying encounter'!
"Don't you really want to think about it anymore?I still have a lot of good things in me, and I'm willing to show them all in front of you at any time if you need them!" Moses suddenly made a charming expression at Li Zijun, and one hand slightly opened her collar.
"I'm sorry! I still have women waiting for me in my family, and I can't let them down!" Li Zijun didn't know what else he could say, nodded to Moses, and turned to walk towards his room.
Moses looked at Li Zijun's back, and there was a vicious light in his eyes. She couldn't bear Li Zijun rejecting her like this, she already hated Li Zijun!
"It's enough for her to be rejected by an ugly ghost like you!" Beatrice sighed as she jumped onto Li Zijun's shoulder.
"If she really likes you, will you say no?"
"We're still on the run, and even if I promised her, how could I bring her back? ”
"Hypocrisy! She must not be as beautiful as the woman before you, so you rejected her!" Beatrice's recent speech has become more and more like that of a woman, and her curiosity about Li Zijun has become stronger and stronger.
Beatrice's words reminded Li Zijun of Victoria and Barbara, when they were slighted by themselves, their delicate appearance, their ** that once made them linger! Li Zijun's mouth just showed a faint smile, and then he remembered the eyes they looked in when they let themselves leave, those eyes full of love and affection! Li Zijun felt a strong tingling in his heart, and a line of hot tears unconsciously slipped down the corners of his eyes.
"I'm sorry! I reminded you of the sad thing again!" Beatrice saw Li Zijun's heartbroken appearance, and her heart also became sad, and she gently wiped the tears from Li Zijun's face with her front paws.
"Forget it, it's all over!" Li Zijun didn't feel Beatrice's warmth for him, smiled reluctantly, and wiped away the tears on his face. Carrying Beatrice to the bed and covering her with the quilt, he went to the middle of the room and sat down cross-legged on his knees, and began his daily homework.
For so many days, Li Zijun has always been like this, as long as he has free time, he will concentrate on cultivation.
Beatrice showed a small head from the quilt and just looked at Li Zijun. She has lived on this shijie for nearly a hundred years, but whether it is in Warcraft or in humans, she has never seen a person as diligent as Li Zijun. She vaguely guessed Li Zijun's purpose for doing this, and began to understand the hidden pain in his heart, but she didn't understand that she would gradually be affected by Li Zijun's emotions. Seeing Li Zijun's sad appearance, her heart will also ache faintly!
Beatrice also found that she didn't know what the reason was, she was by Li Zijun's side, and her own magic power was also improving rapidly, and she felt that her seventh tail was about to grow. Once her seventh tail grows, it will mark Beatrice's entry into the ranks of high-level magical beasts, and the master-servant contract she signed with Li Zijun will also be unbinding. But Beatrice never thought she would leave Li Zijun, she was used to the feeling of lying on Li Zijun's shoulder.
Once the multi-tailed demon fox enters the high-level magical beast, her transfiguration will no longer be constrained by her size, in other words, Beatrice will be able to transform into a human form. Even as long as she is willing to go through a painful process, she can remain in human form forever. Thinking about the scene where she became a human and walked hand in hand with Li Zijun on the grassland, Beatrice blushed slightly, and hurriedly hid her little face in the quilt.
Ten days later, the upland rice finally matured and harvested, and the tribe selected more than 20 strong men to escort tribute rice to the capital, and Morton naturally became the leader of this team, and Li Zijun also successfully mixed into this team.
At this time, Li Zijun realized the backwardness and poverty of the Tibetan Empire, and Morton, a tribe of nearly 1,000 people, could not choose fifty horses, which was almost unimaginable in the Turk-Hun Empire, which was also the Steppe Empire! Of course, it was impossible for them to take all the horses away, so Zuihou had to choose twenty horses that looked stronger, ten of which were used to pull the cart, and the other ten were for Morton to ride. This also caused many people to crowd into the carriage, and Li Zijun and Moses were arranged together by Morton.
Ever since Li Zijun gave the sword to Morton, this bearded guy has some ideas, he wants to marry his sister to Li Zijun, a brother who has a lot of money. It's just that this honest and strong man didn't notice the friction between Li Zijun and Moses.
Since Moses' confession was rejected, Li Zijun and her rarely saw each other, and they both avoided each other. This time they were placed in the same carriage by Moses, and they both felt a little embarrassed. There were three or four people crowded into the other carriages, and Li Zijun didn't want to be crowded with others, while Moses hated other people even more, so they had to endure this state.
"How are you lately?" Li Zijun really couldn't bear this suppressed silence, and spoke first.
"Do you think I'll be fine?"
"Maybe things aren't as bad as you think!"
"Are you saying that I won't be whipped to death by my husband's family, or will I not be sold into a prostitution and let others spoil me?" asked Moses as he turned his head to look at Li Zijun with tears in his eyes.
Li Zijun was hesitating whether he should say what he had found, when suddenly a horse team came running from a distance.
"Brother Morton, why don't you notify us when you leave, our two tribes can set off together, and we can take care of each other!" a flamboyant guy rode up to Morton and complained.
"Oh, it's Gischel! our tribe doesn't have any good horses, so we have to come out a little early. We were worried that we wouldn't be able to keep up with you, so we didn't let you know. Morton obviously didn't have the slightest affection for the guy in front of him, so he casually made an excuse to prevaricate.
This man turned out to be Gischel! Although he was full of smiles, there was no trace of a smile in the corners of his eyes, on the contrary, a fierce look flashed in his eyes. It was obvious at a glance that he was not a good man, and it was no wonder that Morton would object to Moses associating with him!
"Brother Morton, with the friendship between the two of us, don't say borrow it, I will give it to you if you want two good horses, why are you still polite to me! I heard that Sister Moses is also going to Beijing with you this time, where is she?" said Gichel as he looked at the convoy.
"Oh, Sister Moses, how can you squeeze into such a small carriage with others! Gisel took the reins from his men and came to Moses' carriage with a flattering face.
"Giselle, Xiexie, your help, but Moses is not good at riding, you better bring the horses back!" Morton appeared at the right time and stopped between Gisel and Moses.
Moses had a thousand words to say to Gischer, but Morton stood in the middle of them, and she didn't dare to speak casually.
Facing Morton's unfriendly gaze, Gichel was also a little uncomfortable, but Zuihou still led the horse away.
"Brother Jun, how about you marry this girl of mine, I promise not to ask you too much dowry!" Morton pulled Li Zijun aside and whispered.
"How can I be worthy of Moses like this? I'm so sorry Miss Moses!"
"Looks good, there's a fart! That Gichelle is better looking than you and me, but he doesn't do it at all! The woman who died at his hand can't count ten fingers. I don't know why Moses was confused, but he fell in love with him as a demon!"
"Moses seems to have a bad impression of you, but I don't think you are who he says you are. You actually care about Moses!" Li Zijun asked as he looked at Morton with some curiosity.
"She's my own sister, how could I not care about her! Gichelle is by no means a good person, I don't want Moses Zuihou to choose him!"
Li Zijun didn't expect that this guy who likes to brag and be rude turned out to have such a delicate side.
"I'm a minor nobleman of the Menglin Empire, I'm here for training, I can't take a woman around! I'm sorry, Brother Morton, I really can't promise you!"
After getting Li Zijun's true attitude, Morton didn't say anything more, took a probe and turned to leave.
Li Zijun thought that Morton would soon transfer himself and Moses apart, but to his surprise, Morton seemed to have forgotten about it, not only did his attitude towards him not change, but even their seats did not change at all.
In the days that followed, Gichel searched for various excuses to approach Moses every day, but was stopped by Morton. Gradually, Gichel lost his patience, and he finally took his leave and left.
Looking at the gloomy expression on his face, Li Zijun knew very well that this matter would never be solved so easily, and he couldn't help but start worrying about Morton.
"Young Master, are we really just leaving?" one of Gischel's subordinates also saw his reluctance and came to him and asked.
"Leave, we just left like this, didn't we cheapen that Morton for nothing! You go back immediately and invite my eldest brother over, that Morton is an intermediate swordsman, and we have no one here to deal with him, only by inviting my eldest brother here, we can be sure." In addition, let the eldest brother choose forty or fifty strong men from the tribe, since Morton is so faceless, we don't need to make peace with him anymore, I want to let them all play!" said Gichel coldly.
"Young master, robbing tribute is a big crime, are you thinking about it?"
"In this vast grassland, who will know that we did this! Don't worry, as long as our hands and feet are clean, even if someone suspects us, they have no evidence, and there is nothing they can do about us!"
"But you don't want that Moses girl?"
"She?she's just a plaything for me, and when I've had enough, I'll give her to everyone, and I'll sell her to the Monlin Empire." I don't believe she can do anything alone!" said Gichel viciously.
As the sun set in the west, Morton began to organize his men to set up tents.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and Li Zijun judged that there were more than sixty people who were rushing towards their position on horseback.
"Morton on alert, someone is coming!" Li Zijun grabbed a handful of stones on the ground and jumped on the roof of the carriage.
Morton heard Li Zijun's reminder and immediately ordered his subordinates to put the vehicle into a ring for defense.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" A dozen arrows were fired at Morton in full concentration.
Li Zijun didn't distinguish the direction, and directly raised his hand to scatter the stones in his hand all over the sky. Although the opponent's accuracy was good, the difference was too far on Liliang, and these arrows shot at Morton were all knocked to the ground by Li Zijun's stones.
Gichel originally thought that such a dense number of arrows would at least cause Morton to receive some minor injuries, but what he didn't expect was that the arrows shot at Morton fell to the ground.
Due to the distance, Gichel thought that the arrows were all shot down by Morton, and he was a little worried about whether his eldest brother could defeat Moreton, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at his eldest brother Jason.
"Fear what? That Morton guy wasn't my match at all, but he looked like he was on guard. Since the sneak attack can't be successful, then we can attack it, and there is nothing to fear!"
Jason was displeased when he saw Gischel's appearance, waved behind him, and rushed out with his men.
"Jason, how could it be you? What do you mean by that?"
Morton didn't see that it was Li Zijun who saved him just now, and he didn't have time to explore this matter at this time, he looked at Jason, who was getting closer and closer to him, and asked dissatisfiedly.
"That's me, what can you do to me? I tell you plainly, I'm here today for your sister Moses. Are you going to give her to me, or are you going to take her with you when I've killed all of you?" Jason said with a skill level and nearly twice as many men as Morton, he said without hesitation.
"Jason, our two tribes are neighbors, and the relationship has always been good! Isn't it a bit too immoral for you to do this today, and you are not afraid that our chief will sue you?"
"If you have the ability, you can sue me, I don't have to stop you, but I'm worried that you won't have that chance!" Jason said this sentence loudly, not taking Morton in his eyes at all.
But at this moment, a bolt of lightning struck Jason directly.
Although Jason looks arrogant on the surface, he is actually always on guard against Morton's attacks. Although the lightning attack was somewhat unexpected to him, he still easily released his fighting energy to block the lightning attack.
It's just that Jason didn't expect that the lightning was not a flash, but kept slashing at him. Poor Jason was completely surrounded by lightning before he could figure out what was going on.
"Click, click!" The lightning finally split Jason's vindictive aura shield and slashed directly at him. Immediately afterward, several bolts of lightning struck Jason's body in succession, and he was turned into a piece of black charcoal in an instant!
"If I were you, Gichel, I would stay where I was. No one can be faster than a magician. Li Zijun ignored Morton's surprised eyes, slowly walked out of the team, and pointed to Gichel, who was about to flee.
"Are you a magician?" asked Gichel and Morton in unison.
"I'm sorry, I've been hiding this from you, which is why I can't compete with you in swordsmanship. ”
"Then you always have a sword pinned to your waist?" Morton asked, pointing to Li Zijun's waist and incomprehensibly.
"It's a disservice to disguise my identity as a magician. And it's also for self-defense!"
"Magicians use swords to defend themselves?" Morton and Moses were a little confused.
"Let your men dismount and surrender!" Li Zijun said with a smile as he came to Gichel's face.
Ji Xiel's sword could touch Li Zijun with his hand raised, but he didn't have the guts! His brother's piece of coke was in front of his eyes, he hesitated for a while, and Zuihou had to obey Li Zijun's order and order all his men to dismount.
"Tie them all up for me, and we'll have to get them to give an explanation. Li Zijun said to Morton.
At this time, Morton couldn't say anything more, and ordered people to do what Li Zijun said.
What everyone didn't expect was that after everyone was tied up, Li Zijun actually gave the order to extinguish his mouth.
"Jun, they're all neighbors of our tribe, isn't this a bit too much!" Morton didn't understand for a moment that Li Zijun was going to do such a bloody thing.
"Brother Morton, you are so kind! When did they treat you as neighbors or friends? If I guessed correctly, even if they got Moses just now, they won't let you people go! Robbery of tribute is a great crime, can they leave you alive!"
"If you let them go like this today, I can guarantee that in the near future, they will be slashing your people with butcher's knives! Be merciful to the enemy is cruel to yourself, and these people must not stay!"
Hearing Li Zijun's analysis, Morton finally made up his mind and waved his hand to let his subordinates cut off the heads of these captives.
"Brother Morton, you can't! We're all neighbors, and we've always had a good relationship with each other, how can you do such a thing! Many of them have married women from your tribe, how can you treat them like this!" Gichel begged as he knelt down in front of Morton.
"So what! They're not here to kill us!Gishell, don't plead, I'll give you a good time when it's your turn!"
"Moses, Moses, I am sincere to you, otherwise I would not have sat down for such a stupid thing, help me beg your eldest brother, let him let me go, I will repay you in the next life as a cow and a horse!" Gichel pinned his only hope on Moses, lying on the ground and shouting desperately.
"Big brother!" Moses was a little overwhelmed by Gischer's plea, and she came to Morton to intercede for him.
"Moses, don't say any more! If he really wants you, he won't do anything to your relatives. As you saw just now, all the arrows were concentrated on me. It's clear that they want to shoot me and make it easier for them to deal with me, how can I let such a person go!"
Morton didn't explain anything anymore, and walked over to learn about Gichel's life.
