Volume 1 Between the Waves Chapter 28 Knowing oneself and knowing one's other
Li Zijin was puzzled: "What do you say?"
Su Hu didn't know where to get a bag of melon seeds, so she snorted the melon seeds, and said vaguely: "You see, the proprietress had a moment of killing intent just now, but she covered it up very well, and she didn't show it at all, in fact, when the group of officers and soldiers bullied a shopkeeper, her emotions didn't fluctuate much, but just now, after coming into close contact with the thick-eyebrow man, she showed a moment of killing intent, but no one noticed it." ”
Li Zijin does not have the realm of Yuanying, so naturally he can't capture the killing intent in the lobby on the first floor out of thin air, but he just feels that a proprietress with a mediocre appearance has opened an inn in this desert that is already mixed.
You can't just dismantle someone as soon as they make a joke, so that this inn can still be opened to this day?
Seeing that his son-in-law didn't speak, the maid Su Hu didn't disturb his train of thought, but stayed on the fat cook, Su Hu's eyes directly penetrated the floors on the third and second floors, and entered the kitchen room on the first floor, looking at the scene that was not so bloody for her.
Cook Ding Xie Niu.
What was solved was not a cow, but a human corpse.
————
The innkeeper walked calmly, carrying a pot of heroic gall in each hand, and served wine to the twenty tables of officials in the lobby on the first floor.
This liquor named Hero Gall is a unique liquor brewed in the Northern Desert of Yan Kingdom, and the Heroic Courage is really courageous, which is based on the pit viper snake gall in the Northern Desert of Yan Kingdom, plus a kind of stamen called "Yizhi Spring" in the desert Gobi, which is brewed by combining the two with wine, which has the effect of dispelling wind and dehumidifying, cooling and brightening.
And because of its mellow aroma and strong entrance, it is deeply loved by the northerners of Yan Kingdom, especially some men with strong physique, walking the rivers and lakes, drinking with others, must be to invite the other party to a pot of good heroic gall, and it must be a big bowl of drinking, drinking the law heroic, so that the wine and the hero complement each other.
In addition to the people of the northern desert of Yan Kingdom love this wine, almost everyone in the battlefield of Yan Kingdom also likes to drink this wine, known as heroes drink heroic courage, tiger generals sing the reputation of tiger generals.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have to drink a good time today, and you have to drink to your heart's content. ”
The proprietress served wine to all the guests, looked at them with a smile, and swept her eyes across the crowd in turn, and finally stopped at the table where the officer and soldier leader was sitting, because she found that the officer and soldier leader was still cross-legged, but did not pour wine for himself, but only buried his head in eating peanuts as a side dish, and did not seem to want to drink.
With a smile on her eyebrows, she walked up to the officer and soldier leader, rolled up her cuffs, and personally poured a bowl of wine for the "heroic" officer and soldier leader, and then casually pulled an empty wine bowl from the side of the officer and soldier who was sleeping soundly, and then poured herself a bowl full of heroic gall.
The leader of the officers and soldiers found it interesting, and looked at the proprietress who didn't look good at first glance, but after a long time, but she had a little bit of a look, and grinned: "What, the proprietress is going to accompany the wine in person? Long was flattered." ”
The proprietress held the wine bowl in both hands and raised it to her mouth, "I have long heard that General Long is as good as the river and the sea, and the little woman will do it first as a respect, and I implore the general to appreciate his face." After speaking, he raised his head and drank the heroic courage in the bowl, which was quite a woman's intention of not letting her eyebrows go.
This statement is not only about the amount of wine, but also about the amount of stomach, if Long Jingzhao also drinks all the wine in the bowl next, then it really represents today's matter, and he will not worry about the cage door inn anymore.
The hunchbacked man stood in the corner, staring coldly at the table.
Long Jingzhao waved his hand, "Eleven Niang is polite." It's just that Long still has important things to do, and the military order is like a mountain, and it cannot be violated, so I brought this group of brothers here, that is, to accompany them to relieve their hunger and rest, and forget it today. If he is free another day, Long will definitely take off his official uniform and personally accompany Shi Niang to drink without getting drunk and not returning. ”
Luo Shiyi was not angry, he still looked calm, as if he was not surprised by the other party's answer, he just smiled and nodded, then turned around and left, returned to the counter, and continued to pick up the abacus to calculate her accounts.
The hunchbacked man quietly walked into the back kitchen and glanced at the fat cook, who understood, and the kitchen knives in both hands collided together, sparks and a high-pitched and piercing sound.
However, after half a cup of tea, the officers and soldiers in the lobby on the first floor were all put down by the heroic courage of the cup of ingredients, but the leader of the officers and soldiers who had been putting his legs on the bench from beginning to end still kept handing peanuts into his mouth one by one, with a calm expression and a light breeze.
The fat cook slowly walked out of the back kitchen and into the lobby with a knife in both hands.
The "hunchbacked" shopkeeper also straightened his body in an instant, and from the angle of the window on the third floor, he even felt that the person was a little slender.
The proprietress Luo Shiyi held the golden abacus in her arms, stepped out, and her figure appeared behind the leader of the officers and soldiers, and asked curiously: "General Long is so determined." ”
Long Jingzhao picked up the heroic courage on the table at this time, and he didn't bother to pour it into the bowl, but directly picked up the wine jug, raised his head and drank heavily, and the wine in the pot went into his throat and his sleeve in three minutes, staining Long Jingzhao's collar.
The whole pot of the hero who was fed was so bold that he was unharmed?
The three people behind her were all shocked, the proprietress Luo Shiyi frowned, she suddenly noticed that there was no mark on the man's neck that should have appeared there, and suddenly exclaimed: "You are not Long Jingzhao, who are you!?"
"Long Jingzhao" sneered, suddenly turned his head without warning, looked at the upper room in the corner of the third floor, and said thoughtlessly, "The two distinguished guests upstairs know who I am." ”
Li Zijin quickly looked at the man's calf, a bean-sized scar, and he immediately remembered someone.
That scarface.
Su Hu was also slightly surprised, "Is it him?"
"Long Jingzhao" slammed the tabletop and shook the three people behind him.
The proprietress held the golden abacus in front of her to resist Nawuo's murderous aura.
The fat cook also crossed his arms and knives in front of his chest, and was still forced back dozens of steps.
The shopkeeper, who was no longer hunchbacked, took off the rag on his shoulder and waved it in the air, completely covering the murderous aura of a martial artist of the Eight Realms, and stood side by side with the proprietress Luo Shiyi with a calm expression.
It's just that it was just an appetizer that Han Jian gave to everyone, and in just an instant, a snow-white narrow knife appeared in the air, and it was actually divided into three in the air, and at the same time slashed at the golden abacus in the hand of the proprietress, the double knife in the hand of the fat cook, and the rag held by the shopkeeper.
The knife was in the lobby on the first floor, but the person was already outside the door of the upper room in the corner of the third floor.
"Long Jingzhao" shot out with a punch, directly planning to pierce the wooden door and smash it into the young man who was hiding behind the door and peeking.
Li Zijin could hide, but he didn't choose to hide at the first time, but there was a faint flow of brilliance between the index finger and middle finger of his left hand.
Before the fist arrived, the wooden door was broken, and just when the martial artist of the Eight Realms was about to smash his fist on the young man's face, at the last moment, the woman in white in the room made a move.
Su Hu waved his sleeves and kept spinning in the air, constantly removing the strength of the person's punch, and finally smashed it on her sleeve, only a soft punch was a weak woman, and she would be unscathed if she was hit by such a punch.
The brilliance of his fingertips disappeared in an instant, and the corners of Li Zijin's mouth hooked up an imperceptible arc, although it was a bit risky, but he got an answer to a question that he still verified, and Li Zijin was very satisfied with this answer.
That is, if the deed person dies, the fox demon will definitely not be able to live, or at least, there will be a huge loss, such as losing all the tails at one time, and he can't keep his Taoism, so he can only start over.
He doesn't need to ask Su Hu for verification at all, even if the final result will be a little different from what he expected, but it is definitely not much different, so after today, he can really grasp the capital to negotiate with Su Hu, no longer looks like her master on the surface, but in fact, he is controlled everywhere and is in a passive situation.
In comparison, even if she made a mistake just now, she would not save herself, and she would need to consume the last supreme sword qi to kill the scarface covered with a layer of skin on her face at close range, which is actually not a bad result.
However, to be able to preserve that sword qi, of course, it is better to preserve it.
The gentleman hides his weapons and waits for the time to move.
can let this maid of the Yuan Infant Realm make a move, he is naturally happy to enjoy it.
"Han Daxia, long time no see. Su Hu smiled and greeted the man, as if the two were not mortal enemies, but an old friend who had not seen each other for many years.
Now that he has been recognized, there is no need to hide anything, the skin on the face of "Long Jingzhao" shattered by itself and turned into powder, and there was an impressive scar on that person's face, it was the scarred face Han Jian who was injured by Li Zijin with a sword aura three months ago.
Li Zijin's mind turned sharply, he didn't expect this scarred face with a very high martial arts realm to be so difficult, along the way, he and Su Hu were clearly careful enough, and they kept an eye everywhere.
In the past three months, he has dressed up in disguise, and if no one asks him about his name, he will not reveal his name whenever he goes to the pass, and if he is asked about his identity by officers and soldiers when he enters and exits the pass, he will use a pseudonym and a fake identity that has been bought with a lot of money from some people in the rivers and lakes.
The two of them can be said to have done things without leakage, and with Li Zijin's meticulous thoughts, they have escaped countless pursuits and suppressions by the Yan State government, and they never thought that when the master and servant walked to the border of Yan State, they actually encountered the old acquaintance Scarface Han Jian in this desert Gobi.
The shopkeeper and the fat cook downstairs just wanted to go upstairs and find the field, but they were stopped by the proprietress Luo Shiyi, she shook her head and motioned to the two to wait and see, since the other party's target is not her cage, the door inn, then the three of them can watch from the wall at this moment, and there is no need to meddle in the affairs of passers-by.
Li Zijin squinted slightly, and said to Han Qian: "Yo, you're not dead yet, your legs and feet are quite flexible?"
As if poked at the pain point, Han Qian's figure flashed, appeared behind the young man, and smashed his head with a punch.
Li Zijin's face did not change color, and he did not move.
Su Hu's figure also flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he used a spell to shift his shape with Li Zijin, and blocked Han Jian again.
The woman in white said with a smile: "Childe, you should also pay attention to your personality when watching a play, and be careful of setting yourself on fire." ”
The young man said confidently: "What are you afraid of, isn't there a capable maid like you to help me put out the fire?"
Han Jian smiled, the young man is really not afraid of death, even if he loses both today, I, Han Qian, will scrape off a layer of your skin, and see if you, a young man with sharp teeth, are as hard as a mouth!
