"I was at the house of the third master of Dao, and I saw Hu Benhou and Ye Lao Ghost. ”

Looking at the steaming meal on the table, Wang Kouqi put down his chopsticks instead, and said in a somewhat stiff voice.

Since I learned about the dispatch of the hidden dragon in the imperial city this time, and the sanctification of the great lord.

He no longer had the appetite to eat the food in front of him.

Obviously, before that, he was still struggling with how to pay.

"Ang, they should be the Emperor Realm master who went to chase the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. ”

didn't seem to notice Wang Kouqi's strange appearance at the moment, only to see Li Gou pick up the wine glass and clink glasses with Nie Bing.

"After all, that kid was a bit arrogant and flew straight over our heads. ”

"Didn't you hit the muzzle of the gun? ”

Li Gou drank the wine in the cup in one go, and then seemed to notice something strange, and he frowned slightly.

I saw that Li Gou suddenly glanced at Wang Kouqi suspiciously, and couldn't help asking:

"How can this wine be drunk by a girl, so sweet. ”

Wang Kouqi ignored Li Gou's question, just silently poured himself a pot of wine, and then said: "There are not only Wanjian Pavilion, but also people from the mass grave, and they are also from the Emperor Realm. ”

"Under the saint's door, there must be a little bit of foundation. ”

Li Gou chuckled, and didn't pay attention to Wang Kouqi's reminder.

"And he also brought twelve corpse puppets with the strength of the Imperial Realm, do you know?"

Wang Kouqi ignored the wine glass raised by Li Gou and took a sip of himself.

"It seems that the mass grave has a big attempt this time, and it actually released twelve corpse puppets at once?"

Li Gou put down his wine glass, and was surprised when he heard this: "If you want to say that this corpse puppet production method is a little interesting, it is said that they have a strange kind of worm parasitic in their body, and by manipulating these bugs, they control these dead people." ”

Hearing this, Wang Kouqi was also slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Li Gou to know so much.

Wang Kouqi asked, "How do you know this?"

"Back then, the Great Lord once went to the Western Xinjiang and brought out a freshly trained one. ”

Li Gou poured Nie Bing's wine on the side, and then also filled Wang Kouqi's wine glass, and then replied.

"Bugs?"

Wang Kouqi was also slightly surprised when he heard this, and asked with some curiosity: "What kind of worm?" ”

"What is it called an undead insect, to put it bluntly, it is a big centipede. ”

"We dissected the puppet back then and studied it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Gou remembered something, and then his voice stopped abruptly at this moment.

Even the horizontal flesh on his face couldn't help but tremble, as if it was a not very good past.

"Can't say?"

Wang Kouqi asked softly, and then picked up a piece of steaming beef and put it into his mouth.

After all, the people of the Imperial City have too many secrets, especially people like Li Gou.

"That's not it, it's just disgusting to say, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat"

Li Gou shook his head, he looked at Wang Kouqi, and then laughed softly: "Do you want to hear it?"

"We don't want our kind of lives, and we're afraid of what's disgusting. ”

Hearing that the reason why Li Gou didn't continue to say it turned out to be this, at that moment, Wang Kouqi also sneered unceremoniously.

"Okay, let's talk about it. ”

Seeing that Wang Kou Qi didn't care, Li Gou reached out and lifted the waist of his pants that had fallen a little, and then poked his head in the direction of Wang Kou Qi.

This appearance looks like a traitor's deal.

Li Gou said in a low voice: "Back then, the lord wanted to insert his power in the Western Frontier, but because his subordinates were not familiar with the landforms of the Western Frontier, he was afraid that it would be easy to fold into it if he rashly sent someone. ”

"That's why I'm going to go through it myself. ”

"The mountains and mountains of western Xinjiang are extensive, and the climate is even more humid and cold, which is a potential killing opportunity for strangers who are not familiar with the environment. ”

Wang Kouqi also nodded after listening, he had listened to the third prince study Qimen Dunjia, and had a few comments on the terrain of the western Xinjiang area.

"There are no fierce beasts in this kind of place, but the insects in that place are big. ”

Li Gou glanced at Wang Kouqi and joked softly: "A fat man like you is afraid that it is not enough for the swarm to stuff his teeth." ”

"You can't run away. ”

"A fat guy like me wouldn't go to that kind of place. Hearing Li Gou's taunt, Wang Kouqi just glanced at Li Gou coldly and retorted calmly.

"And the people in the western Xinjiang area have the art of insect control that has been passed down from generation to generation, and the specific lord didn't say in detail, but the tone of the lord at that time was quite frightening. ”

"It seems to have suffered a big loss. ”

Li Gou recalled the expression of the lord at that time, and couldn't help but take a sip of wine to suppress the shock.

also secretly glanced at Wang Kouqi's face by drinking.

found that Wang Kouqi was just looking at him expressionlessly, and a pair of small eyes were almost invisible.

This made Li Gou a little disappointed.

"Speaking of this insect control technique, I have a little brother who runs a boat from there. At this time, Nie Bing, who had not made a sound for a long time, suddenly spoke at this moment.

"Oh?" Li Gou glanced at Nie Bing with interest, and said with a smile: "Then Brother Nie, you talk about it first, let my big fat boy brother open his eyes." ”

I heard Li Gou ridiculing him for not seeing the world.

Wang Kouqi couldn't help but roll his eyes, but no one saw him because his eyes were too small.

Nie Bing didn't shirk either, and said with a smile at the moment: "At that time, I happened to take my brother to the Jinnan Territory with a batch of goods from fate, and when I passed through the Natian River in the western Xinjiang, I happened to find three unconscious young men by the river. ”

At that time, I didn't think too much about it, thinking that I had accidentally fallen into the water, and when I saw that they still had breath, I rescued them, and then quickly called a ship doctor to treat them. ”

Speaking of this, Nie Bing paused, only to see him take a sip of wine, and continued: "It's a pity that the three of them soaked in the water for too long at that time, and their bodies were weak, so our ship doctor tried his best to finally save one. ”

"Anyway, I don't know each other, so it's good to be able to save one. ”

Li Gou saw that Nie Bing had some regret on his face, but just sneered.

"yes. Nie Bing nodded, and continued: "The kid who was rescued is called Miao Mu, and the local people in Western Xinjiang will follow us alive and dead after they see our ship." ”

At this time, Li Gou couldn't help but interject and quipped: "What's the matter, you have a big girl on the boat?"

"I used to bring a few of them, but the goods delivered that time were so important that few people even knew about the ship. ”

Hearing Li Gou's words, Nie Bing also shook his head with a smile, and explained at the moment.

"Life on board was really enjoyable, with the sea breeze, the cold wine, and the beautiful girls. ”

"Even Lao Li and I want to go to sea to have a look. ”

Li Gou sighed, and then raised his hand to drain the wine in the cup.

"Little Er!

"And then?" Ignoring Li Gou's sentimentality at the moment, Wang Kouqi just urged Nie Bing and motioned for him to continue.

"Good. Nie Bing nodded, only to see him take a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it on his plate, before he continued to speak:

"At that time, there were not enough people on the ship, so after thinking about it, I took him over. ”

"I didn't think that this kid was diligent in his work, but he couldn't say a word all day long, like a stuffy gourd. ”

Like a stuffy gourd?

Wang Kouqi frowned, and couldn't help but think of Zhang Bugou who he had just seen.

Huh, what does Zhang Bugou look like?

Wang Kouqi frowned, obviously he had just seen it, why couldn't he remember what he looked like at all now.

This made Wang Kouqi wonder if he was already a little drunk.

Nie Bing continued: "Later, after following us back to the Central Plains, and running a few more boats together, this kid only talked more. ”

Until one day, after he got drunk, he finally told us the truth about how he fell into the river. ”

"It happened to be a night at that time, and my brothers stayed on the boat, and there was nothing to do, so we were ready to have a good drink. ”

Speaking of this, Nie Bing's originally calm voice was also a little more nostalgic at the moment.

The days of drinking and chatting with your brothers at night are destined to be unforgettable memories no matter who they are.

"Anyway, everyone had a good time that night, and they talked about their hometown," Nie Bing came back to his senses, looked at the wine glass in his hand that had been drunk, and continued.

At that time, the seedlings also rose, and at the end of that night, they talked about their hometown. ”

He said that he was a guard of any clan, and everyone drank a lot that night, and his name was awkward, so he couldn't remember so much uselessness. ”

"It's said that the clan believes in some insect god, and he is the so-called insect god guard. ”

Speaking of this, Nie Bing's face was also a little more puzzled, and it seemed that he couldn't remember the memory of that time.

"Isn't this the same as the virtue of those people who believe in black dragons?

And Li Gou, who was eating at the moment, suddenly heard a strange belief, and couldn't help but scold.

"Guest, the wine is here. At this time, the shopkeeper walked over quickly with two pots of wine.

Li Gou took the wine jug, and then saw that Nie Bing was still reminiscing, so he couldn't help but urge: "And then?"

"Then, these people who believe in the insect god have to pay tribute to the insect god every year in order to seek the protection of the insect god. ”

"The tribute is a baby who has just spoken. ”

"Heh, bunch of idiots. Li Gou couldn't help but mock again.

And that year's tribute happened to be the child of Miao Mu's family who had just spoken out. Hearing the anger in Li Gou's tone, Nie Bing was not sure whether to continue for a while.

"My lord?" Nie Bing asked cautiously.

"Go on. Li Gou raised the cup in his hand and said softly.

Seeing that Li Gou agreed, Nie Bing continued: "In fact, people's belief in the insect god was not so profound at that time, so Miao Mu planned to refuse this request, and planned to give up this insect god guard. ”

Nie Bing took the wine jug in Li Gou's hand, and then filled his wine glass.

Nie Bing said: "But just as Master Li mentioned earlier, these people living in the Miao Jiang area do master the art of insect resistance. ”

"But the art of insect control is not something that ordinary people can master, only those sacrifices who have dedicated their lives to the insect god are qualified to master these. ”

"And after Miao Mu refused the request of the priests, that night, when he returned home"

"His wife and children were eaten by a swarm of black bugs. ”

After speaking, Nie Bing glanced at Li Gou and Wang Kouqi, and took a sip of wine silently.
