Unexpectedly, Liu Ruiying had already seen through that the knife in this person's right hand was a false move.

for this man would not have used a sword.

Although this man has a knife in his hand, he does not use a knife technique.

This person is the same person as the one who used to transform the secret weapon.

So Liu Ruiying didn't care about the knife in this person's right hand at all.

The figure flashed one after another, dodging the more than a dozen popping up energy.

Then he stepped forward.

It was a sword slash.

Cut off the blade in this man's hand.

The blade is broken.

Even if he is the world's first-class swordsman, holding a broken knife, it will be useless.

After the blade breaks.

The blade is only one-third the length of the original.

It just like a short knife.

But the short knife is short, but it is also complete.

It's not like this broken long knife.

It can't be called a knife anymore.

Liu Ruiying's sword tip was pressed against the man's throat.

"I'm curious, how many knives do you have with you?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Counting the one he threw earlier, this is already the second knife.

Why should a person who doesn't know how to use two knives?

If you want to use a knife as a disguise, one is enough.

Why bother bringing two?

The man did not answer.

But suddenly the body shrank.

Liu Ruiying hurriedly held his sword and stepped forward.

I didn't expect it to be slow for a while.

Ducked by this man.

Then, like a ghost, quietly appeared behind Liu Ruiying.

He had another knife in his hand.

And a complete, brand new knife.

The one that was thrown earlier was still stuck not far away.

The broken one is at Liu Ruiying's feet.

Now the one in his hand is the third knife.

This person swung his knife and slashed diagonally at Liu Ruiying's back.

Liu Ruiying arched his back and put the sword behind his back.

Blocked his sword.

Then he slowly turned around and smiled at the man.

"What are you laughing at!"

The man asked, lowering his voice.

"I laugh at you for not knowing how to use a knife, but you can't allow others to say that you don't know a word. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Who says I can't use a knife?"

The voice has not yet fallen.

This person took out the knife again and stabbed straight into Liu Ruiying's heart.

Liu Ruiying looked at the sword and retreated again and again.

Then he suddenly flashed to the side, and he directly grabbed the knife-wielding hand of this person.

A swordsman.

If such a man were a knife man, it would be no different from having him tied up all over his body.

What's more, Liu Ruiying grabbed his hand, not his knife.

If he grabbed the man's knife, he could let go of the knife, jump up, and climb over the courtyard wall to leave.

But now it was the hand that was caught.

How does this make him get away?

But Liu Ruiying was careless.

This man did not use a knife in the first place.

Therefore, the hand with the knife is caught, but it does not have much effect on this person.

He could still let go of his sword.

After the man let go of the knife.

Turn your palms into fists.

The vigor was drumming and shook Liu Ruiying's hand away.

It then flew away at an alarming speed.

"I only have three knives!"

The man's voice could be heard from afar.

"Uncle Shi, don't you chase it?"

Hua Nong asked.

"Don't chase. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Oh......"

Although Hua Nong was puzzled, he still responded.

After this fight.

Liu Ruiying has already figured out the other party's catties.

But when he doesn't figure out the real purpose of the other party, he won't rush to kill him.

This man had clearly come to accomplish some kind of mission.

Completed when he left.

If you can't finish it, you'll definitely linger here.

If Liu Ruiying kills him.

But his task was not completed.

Naturally, one more person will be sent.

Rather than killing one after another, that troublesome.

It's better to just play with this person a few more times.

No matter what color he wears, he doesn't cover his face.

As long as you fight more times, you will always show your feet.

"The roof of my inn has been replaced, and you have to pay for it. ”

At this time, the proprietress suddenly appeared and said.

"How much does it cost?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"If you give me this sword in good condition, you will be able to pay the bill. ”

The proprietress said, pointing to the knife stuck in the ground.

"What do you want a knife for?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

This knife is not a kitchen knife.

It is convenient to kill people, but it is extremely difficult to cut meat and vegetables.

Liu Ruiying didn't know what the proprietress wanted this knife for.

"Sell. ”

The proprietress said.

"Selling knives?"

It's not that grocery stores can't sell knives.

However, there are very few grocery stores that sell knives.

Besides, who is going to buy a knife here?

Those hard workers have money, so it is better to make more bowls of wine and eat a few more pieces of dried tofu.

And those who have the money to hide from the rest of the world.

But I want to make others feel like they've never touched a knife or gun.

"Things that no one wants, things that are dead are good to sell. ”

The proprietress said.

"What no one wants, as long as it's still intact, it's okay. It's just that how can you sell the dead man's things?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Look, this is a dead man's thing, but I like it, and I don't sell it. ”

The proprietress rolled up her sleeves and showed her wrists.

Pointing to the jade bracelet, he said to Liu Ruiying.

Liu Ruiying thought that the identity of this proprietress was not simple.

This jade bracelet must be a family heirloom.

I didn't expect it to be a dead man's thing.

But how could a person who could bring such a blue glazed jade bracelet die here?

Presumably he is here to hide from trouble......

Maybe some people just want to come and relax.

But in the end, he died here.

After all, when you are alive, you can't always stay away from those slanders, ridicules, and compliments.

No matter what tone you say it, it's actually just for one person.

As long as a person lives, this world will continue to give him calamities and blames.

Either look down on it or be jealous.

The bold man dares to blow his beard and stare at it.

Even if a timid person doesn't dare to say it, he will secretly sarcastic in his heart.

But when the man died.

After everything you have turns into a phantom light.

After staying away from these calamities and unwarranted blames.

But people will regret his departure.

What followed was praise and compliments that were diametrically opposed to the previous ones.

In this way, dead people's things are indeed good to sell.

It can even be worth more than a living person's things.

The proprietress pulled the knife from the ground.

Liu Ruiying frowned as she watched her draw her knife.

This lady is a person who can use knives.

When she drew the knife, she first gently grasped the handle with her four fingers.

Then snap your thumb over.

One force.

The knife was drawn up.

There is not a bit of jerky feeling in the whole action.

"I didn't expect you to be a master too!"

Liu Ruiying said.

"The master is low-handed, he can live and live, and he can be regarded as a fairy hand!"

The proprietress said.

Liu Ruiying was taken aback by this sentence.

Let's ask the world, who doesn't want to have fairy hands?

But in the mouth of the proprietress, as long as it is a person who can live now, it already has a fairy hand.

Such a transparent understanding, I don't know how many people will be ashamed of themselves.

The old lady had already made wine again.

Anyway, Liu Ruiying pressed a hundred taels of silver as wine money.

The more you drink, the more you deduct.

If you deduct it earlier, wouldn't you be able to make another profit?

The proprietress is extremely shrewd in this regard.

"Wait!"

Liu Ruiying said.

"What's wrong?"

The proprietress asked, carrying a knife.

"I want to see this knife. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"If you don't kill the knife, it's naturally not a good knife, and a good knife won't be your turn to see. ”

The proprietress snorted and laughed.

But he still handed the knife to Liu Ruiying.

Liu Ruiying lifted it up and looked at it carefully.

This is indeed a very ordinary knife.

It can be made from any blacksmith shop on the street.

Iron is not good iron.

There are also speckled impurities on the knife body.

At first glance, it is due to insufficient tempering.

It's just that compared to other long knives, the handle of this knife is a little small and delicate.

It seems to be custom-made for the hand of the knife wielder.

Why should such an ordinary knife have a special handle?

Isn't that redundant?

Moreover, the owner of this knife does not know how to use a knife.

Custom-made handles may simply be for the comfort of the grip.

From this knife, Liu Ruiying knew some extremely important things.

That is, the previous assassin who did not know how to use a knife must have been a man who was extremely greedy for comfort.

Even if you don't know how to use a knife, you have to customize the handle of the knife in order to be comfortable to pick it up.

It's just that everyone likes to be comfortable, but it can't be a trait.

But this person knows how to make himself comfortable.

It's called knowing how to enjoy.

Coveting comfort and knowing how to enjoy are two different concepts.

It's like a beggar fantasizing about big fish and big meat every day, shark fin and bird's nest.

But when they actually ate shark fin, they felt that it was no different from fans.

The bird's nest can't stand chewing.

It's soft, and it's gone after a sip.

The so-called poor get rich, and this is probably the case.

Because the poor don't know how to enjoy it.

Even if he was given a silver tael that he couldn't spend for ten lifetimes, when he walked into the restaurant, he looked at the menu but didn't know what to order.

But this was clearly not the case with this Assassin.

But why should a person who knows how to enjoy and has the conditions to enjoy himself become an assassin?

And they have to come to this deserted mine to assassinate.

Isn't it that the material life is too satisfying and wants to pursue some spiritual stimulation?

When he was in Zhongdu, Liu Ruiying heard that some sons and daughters of the big families went to steal things from small shops when they had nothing to do.

If you are lucky enough not to be caught, there is even a comparison of who steals more and who steals more valuable.

Isn't that a quirk.

Could it be that this Assassin is not like this?

Liu Ruiying thought so in her heart, but returned the knife to the proprietress .

Just in the middle of this wave of his hand, Liu Ruiying smelled another fragrance.

It's not meat, it's not wine.

It's the aroma of fat powder on a woman's body.

He didn't know where the aroma was coming from.

I searched around and found that it was actually stained on my own hands.

"What do your hands smell like?"

The proprietress looked at Liu Ruiying's movements and felt that it was really ridiculous.

It's like a stray dog that meets a bone.

Liu Ruiying ignored the boss's ridicule.

Instead, he leaned his head closer to the proprietress and sniffed.

"I can't help it, I haven't drunk it yet!"

The proprietress stretched out her hand and pushed Liu Ruiying's face away and said.

This time it made Liu Ruiying hear more thoroughly.

The fat powder on his hands is completely different from that on the proprietress body.

He remembered that his own hand had only been grasped at this moment except for the glass.

The Assassin's hands were scented with powder, could it be that the Assassin was a woman?

However, Liu Ruiying is really not sure.

Because the assassin did not know how to use a knife, but carried three knives with him to cover it.

Who can say that the fat powder is not deliberately smeared on the body and hands by the assassin to confuse the public?

The outcome of this will only be known when the Assassin appears the next time.

Back at the table.

Liu Ruiying really didn't want to drink anymore.

However, after experiencing a drunken banquet at Yangwen Town's birthday banquet, his alcohol consumption seems to have really increased a lot.

At least so far, not even a little drunk.

It's just that the plate of meat was eaten cleanly by the few people who were saved.

"Lord Provincial Banner, shall we stay here tonight?"

One asked.

"Where do you want to live?"

Liu Ruiying didn't have any communication with these people in the Yangwen Town Investigation Division Station along the way.

And he didn't know what to say.

Now, at last, someone has taken the initiative to speak.

"No...... The small one is just asking. ”

The man waved his hand again and again.

However, his title to Liu Ruiying got into the ears of the proprietress .

It's just that she is still silent, urging Liu Ruiying to drink.

"How much do I have left?"

Liu Ruiying suddenly asked.

"The first round of wine cost a tael of silver. Now it's the second round, and it cost two taels of silver. A total of three taels. ”

The proprietress said.

"Why is the second round twice as expensive as the first? Aren't all seven pots of wine?"

Liu Ruiying Q&A.

"Wine is seven pots, yes. But people are not the first round of people. ”

The proprietress said.

"What's the reasoning?"

Liu Ruiying didn't understand.

"When I drank alcohol in the second round, my state was naturally different from that in the first round. ”

Mom and Dad said.

"Elsewhere, the more you drink, the cheaper it is. You're completely upside down here, and the more you drink, the more expensive it gets. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Because the people who drink with me are not very honest. The more you drink, the more dishonest you become. At every turn, my desk and chair would be knocked over, and my cup and pot would be shattered. This loss naturally has to be made up for from the wine money. ”

The proprietress said.

After listening to these words.

Liu Ruiying felt that the proprietress in front of her was not only the most proprietress but also the most shrewd proprietress at the same time.

Being able to combine these two unrelated qualities at the same time, this proprietress is really a character.

"Those people outside, how many rounds have they drunk now?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"They're not even half a wheel!"

The proprietress said.

"Why don't they count half a wheel, but we have two rounds? ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"They're all old drunks. You can't get drunk all night. Besides, I know the rules here. If you drink too much and want to go crazy, you will only go to the open space outside to make trouble. But no one dared to step into this store. ”

The proprietress said.

His tone and expression were quite proud.

"Then I'll pay for them to drink for a round!"

Liu Ruiying said.

This place of grocery stores, restaurants, and coffin shops is really mysterious and terrifying.

And even if he saw the sword shadow outside, he was all happy.

Since he was in the light, and the laborers of the mine, and the assassin, including the most dissolute and shrewd proprietress in the shadows, it was better to muddy the waters as much as possible.

"Are you really going to ask them to drink? Once they do, it's not something they can handle. ”

The hostess asked.

"Please. If you can't cope with one round, then drink all the hundred taels!"

Liu Ruiying said.

"When everyone first arrived, they were as bold and generous as you. It's just that later they either lie in the coffin in the back or sit under the straw shed in the front. ”

When the old helper went to shout for those laborers to come in and drink, Xu Laosi suddenly appeared and said.

"But I'm still sitting in the middle of this hall. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"I was, the one who sat on it. ”

Xu Laosi said.

He pointed to the upstairs of the grocery store, restaurant, and coffin shop.

That is, the upstairs where two fifty-tael silver ingots were rolled down earlier, and two corpses in white cloth bags were rolled down.
