Chapter 6: Icewine and Silver [3]
When I think of the wolf king Mingyao.
Liu Ruiying suddenly felt that Jing Yao's behavior, Wolf King Mingyao should not know.
"Wolf King Mingyao probably won't let you do this!"
Liu Ruiying said.
In fact, he was cheating.
However, this fraud is also included in rational analysis.
Because Liu Ruiying didn't think that the wolf king Mingyao would do such a risky thing.
Besides, he should not lack the four million taels of silver.
If this Jing Yao does not take the initiative to expose his identity in the grassland.
Liu Ruiying may only think that it was a bold gang.
But if this is related to the entire grassland royal court, Liu Ruiying feels that something is wrong.
As soon as this statement came out.
Jing Yao's face suddenly changed.
The robbery of the silver was not only unknown to the wolf king Mingyao.
Even most of the male and second male of the fire department don't know.
There was only one reason why he did it.
That is to provoke the war between the grassland royal court and the Zhenbei royal domain.
His revenge can only be accomplished on the battlefield.
But it was calm for a long time.
He was also afraid that the flame of revenge in his heart would be extinguished.
Therefore, he must spare no effort to bring about a war between the two sides.
From this point of view, Jing Yao is really an extremely selfish person.
The hatred of his own family overrides everything else.
It's pitiful though.
But it's also even more hateful.
Because he actually disregarded the interests of the entire fire department and the grassland.
Just for the sake of his own personal vendetta, he can make such an earth-shattering move.
He doesn't seek fame.
Although this fame can bring him glory and self-esteem.
But he gave up.
Such a person, even with a scimitar in hand, will not be able to become a climate.
A person who lives in hatred must be extremely short-sighted.
Some people say that sad people are often decadent.
Living in hatred is indeed a way to forge ahead.
But sad people often suffer from gains and losses because they see too far.
It's all about planning ahead.
It's just that such a prescient strategy is always misinterpreted as unfounded.
Liu Ruiying just said that.
But he inadvertently completely sealed the situation in front of him.
Jing Yao would not have spared his life.
But Liu Ruiying actually moved out the wolf king Mingyao to suppress him, how could Jing Yao stand it?
It's not that he isn't loyal enough to the wolf king Mingyao.
Rather, he felt that if he had sat on that throne, he would have started this conquest a long time ago.
Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence.
Jing Yao slashed out.
Before the blade arrived, the sharp sword qi was already rushing towards his face.
Liu Ruiying unfolded his body.
The Great Grandmaster Dharma Sect in his body also stood up at the same time.
He is like a spring swallow.
The stumbling figure swept over the blade of the knife.
But Jing Yao's knife skills are really good.
What's more, his scimitar, the tip of the knife is upturned.
Jing Yao saw a knife slash into the air.
Hurriedly flicked his wrist.
The scimitar was raised upwards.
The tip of the knife was about to pierce Liu Ruiying's waist.
Liu Ruiying's body was volleyed in the air, and he had no way to borrow his strength.
It's too late to dodge again.
When Jing Yao saw this, she smiled slightly.
seems to have seen the tip of his scimitar penetrate Liu Ruiying.
But the Great Grandmaster Law Appearance in Liu Ruiying's body squatted down suddenly.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Ruiying's body was also like being pressed into a thousand catties of boulder.
Before the tip of the knife had reached his body.
It had fallen heavily to the ground.
Even smashed a lot of rusty red bricks on the floor of the restaurant.
This fall made Liu Ruiying a little confused.
It's not just him.
Even Jing Yao couldn't figure out why Liu Ruiying was suddenly like this.
Liu Ruiying was a little desperate.
He had never encountered such a scene before.
Such a sudden move by the Grand Grandmaster Fa Xiang made him a little dizzy.
He turned his head and looked at the back window of the restaurant.
It was the back window that Hua Nong turned over and walked out before.
At this moment, Liu Ruiying just wants to find a way out quickly.
The person in front of him is obviously invincible.
Moreover, the sudden changes in his body also made him even more worried.
He has already mastered this Jing Yao's actions and situation.
If you can get out.
If you spread the news, you will naturally be able to get reinforcements to help.
But it's better than him fighting alone here.
Besides, he has to take care of Hua Nong.
Xiao Jinkan entrusted his apprentice to himself, so he must protect him.
But Jing Yao wouldn't give him extra opportunities.
I saw him holding a knife in both hands, slashing and slashing from top to bottom.
Liu Ruiying had to roll on the spot.
It looks messy though.
But it's always better than the fate of being cut in two by this scimitar.
After dodging this knife, Liu Ruiying used the sword as a staff.
Caught on the ground.
He saw Jing Yao's eyes, like two fireballs.
What is burning inside is the ambition of conquest.
Jing Yao stabbed again.
This knife is not as strong as the previous two knives.
It's even a bit tedious.
But the more intense the moves, the more gloomy they often hide.
It wasn't until the knife slashed in front of Liu Ruiying that it bloomed with its due brilliance.
Liu Ruiying has never seen such a brilliant sword.
It's like a meteor crashing to the ground, with a long flame trailing behind it.
That's when he found out.
His whole body was shrouded in this sword light.
This light is bright though.
But there is no trace of warmth.
Instead, it's bone-chilling.
It's like the wine he drank before.
The cold drink only made his throat and stomach feel cold.
And this knife made every pore on his body covered with a thin layer of ice.
Liu Ruiying began to tremble unconsciously.
Not because of fear.
It's because of the cold.
He couldn't dodge this knife.
As for whether it can be blocked, Liu Ruiying doesn't know.
But he had to try his best.
Blocked, there is still hope for life.
If you don't block it, then you're giving up on yourself.
It's just that Liu Ruiying hasn't figured out how to resist yet.
His steps shifted rapidly, retreating backwards.
He retreated quickly.
But it's still not as fast as this sword.
Besides, he has no way back now.
Because his back has been taped to the back wall of the restaurant.
The window was in the back of his head.
If you turn over and go out of the window, you can definitely avoid its edge for a while.
But Hua Nong is still in the backyard.
If you go out yourself.
Wouldn't it be to put him in danger with him?
This is absolutely not feasible.
At this moment, it was at the extreme.
Liu Ruiying took out a sword.
With this sword, he mobilized all the energy in his body.
even secretly communicated with the Great Grandmaster.
Although there have been previous changes.
Let Liu Ruiying not be very relieved about this great grandmaster.
But he was in a hurry to go to the doctor.
At this moment, Liu Ruiying has no other way.
This sword is flat at the stab.
Although exhausted.
But it was Liu Ruiying's most uncertain sword since he came out.
Sword out.
He closed his eyes.
Everything that can be done has been done.
After Liu Ruiying took out the sword, it was not something he could control.
There are only four words in my head.
Resigned.
But fate is often so mysterious.
Sometimes what you ask for, you will never get.
But when you have an attitude of participation, you can get the ultimate glory.
"Ding......
Liu Ruiying's ears heard a long metallic sound.
This reminded him of the ancient bell of the Central Capital Investigation Division.
I don't know how many years that ancient clock has existed.
But it rings every other hour.
The same goes for the night.
Liu Ruiying complained more than once about why the damn bell didn't stop at night.
I woke up in countless dreams, all because of the bell.
It stands to reason that after listening to the bell for a long time, you should have gotten used to it.
But Liu Ruiying just can't get used to it.
When he was woken up, he wanted to go out for a walk.
Along the way, the guards who had been hiding from the night patrol came to the stable.
It was pitch black in the stable.
The old stables seemed to have fallen asleep.
Liu Ruiying tiptoed to take a horse out for a ride.
"Woke up by the bell again?"
The old stableman said suddenly in the dark.
The voice has not yet fallen.
And the lights of the stables came on.
Liu Ruiying touched the horse's mane absently.
The horse snorted with great enjoyment.
"Aren't you asleep too?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"But I wasn't woken up by the bell, I was woken up by you. ”
The old stableman said.
Liu Ruiying pursed her lips and sat on the ground.
The chaotic mind before has become sober now.
If you want to fall asleep again, I'm afraid it's hard.
"Why do you hate that bell so much?"
The old stableman asked.
"Don't you think it's annoying?"
Liu Ruiying said.
"Instead of annoying it, I felt that its presence made the day more meaningful. ”
The old stableman said.
"What's the point? It's just a reminder that another hour has passed. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
Playing with the hay on the ground in his hands.
"That's the biggest thing. ”
The old stableman said.
Then he lit his own cigarette.
Liu Ruiying didn't see how his cigarette was lit.
It was as if with a pinch of two fingers a fire was born.
But at the moment, he was extremely depressed.
But he was not at all interested in the old stable's wonderful move.
"The ancients didn't know how long the day was, but they could only tell the difference between darkness and dawn. Although that kind of day is a good day, don't you think it's a little too confusing? How many times can you see the sky dark? How many times can you see the dawn in your life?"
The old stableman said.
"I'd rather be that confused. Even if you can only watch it five or six times, you can be satisfied. ”
Liu Ruiying said angrily.
Later, the day was divided into 12 hours, and the year was divided into 24 solar terms. In this way, there is an idea of time. In fact, no matter how you divide it, the years will not change, and it will not change because of your division. These divisions are actually people in order to live a better life. ”
The old horse boy didn't pay attention to Liu Ruiying's angry words, but continued slowly.
"But I'm not living well now, I can't even sleep, how can I live well?"
Liu Ruiying spread her hands and asked rhetorically.
The old stableman nodded.
He agrees with Liu Ruiying's point of view.
After all, if a person can't even sleep, how can he live well?
"Didn't you tell me you wanted to do something big in the future?"
The old stableman asked.
"Yes, but what does that have to do with the bell. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"If you can't bear the bells, how can you do great things?"
The old stableman asked rhetorically.
Liu Ruiying was speechless.
Although he knew that the old stableman was right.
But I still can't get rid of my disgust with this bell.
"Big things also add up. Often a small act of inadvertent action may save one's own or someone else's life in the end. Wouldn't it be nice to have this bell here to remind you not to waste any hour?"
The old stableman said.
Liu Ruiying smiled.
He felt like he didn't do anything at night.
Evenings are a time for sleeping, resting, and chatting.
So what's the point of this bell still reminding yourself?
Actually, it wasn't the bell that he hated.
But every time he remembered the bell, he realized that he had wasted another hour of time.
What he hates is actually himself who wastes his time.
But one never feels like he's at fault.
Usually complain about objectivity.
It's as if Liu Ruiying himself failed to make good use of an hour's time.
He blamed the bell for ringing.
In fact, the bell does not ring, and the years are passing.
And he just drew his sword.
Maybe it can be regarded as the inadvertent little act in the mouth of the old stable.
"The bell woke you up, and you woke me up again. You hate the clock, should I hate you?"
The old stableman said.
With that, he finished smoking his tobacco leaves.
The stables were darkened again.
Liu Ruiying did not leave.
Instead, he sat at the door of the stable, looking at the stars in the sky.
Until the morning sun rises, the bell also rings.
Liu Ruiying smiled knowingly.
The boredom of the bell in my heart has disappeared a lot unconsciously.
Jing Yao saw that her sword was actually blocked by the tip of Liu Ruiying's sword.
The face was full of incredulity.
Liu Ruiying also had the same expression.
But this result is clearly what he is after.
That is, he still blocked this knife after all.
Jing Yao's scimitar has a strange shape.
But it's extremely thin.
It's even thinner than Liu Ruiying's sword.
To be able to use the tip of the sword against such a thin blade is still at such a critical juncture.
There are not many people in the world.
"Unexpectedly, the Investigation Division is not all mediocre. ”
Jing Yao put down the knife and said.
"It's just a fluke. ”
Liu Ruiying put the sword behind his back and said.
In order not to let Jing Yao see her hand trembling slightly.
But the sweat on his forehead still betrayed him.
Jing Yao smiled lightly.
Then a palm was slapped.
Liu Ruiying had seen the power of his palm before.
What's more, I am now in an unstable mood and lack of energy.
You can't compete with it under any circumstances.
In desperation, he had to roll over and go out of the window.
The palm slammed against the wall.
Suddenly, a large hole appeared.
Jing Yao walked out of the cave unhurriedly and came to the backyard.
Although it is already spring flowers outside.
But there was a lot of gloom in the backyard.
Even the weeds on the ground are withered and yellow.
Liu Ruiying didn't know why, but the garden behind the restaurant was very flattering to the current scene.
Jing Yao didn't make any more moves against Liu Ruiying.
Hua Nong was sitting on the boxes of silver, swaying his legs.
When he saw Liu Ruiying coming to the backyard in such an embarrassment, he jumped down from the box, stood beside Liu Ruiying, and pulled out his sword.
Liu Ruiying stopped him with his hand and stepped back.
Jing Yao swung his knife and split open a large wooden box.
The silver ingots inside flowed out with a bang.
"Boy, I see you love money. You help me kill him, and all the money is yours. How?"
Jing Yao picked up a silver ingot, threw it to Hua Nong and said.
Liu Ruiying's slightly relaxed spirit immediately tensed up again.
Hua Nong, this boy.
Unstable heart.
Always be able to say something that is very human, and do something that is not very human.
"It's not my money, I don't want it. ”
Hua Nong looked at the silver ingot under his feet and said.
Then kick it away.
"Is it possible that there is still a silver ingot with your name written on it in the world?"
Jing Yao was amused by Hua Nong.
He was conceited enough to kill the two people in front of him.
But what he wants is Liu Ruiying's complete surrender.
Instead of fighting him to the death like this.
Although the nature of the steppe people is like this.
After all, fighting to the death is much more enjoyable.
But it is far from satisfying Jing Yao's **.
"This is my money!"
Hua Nong took out the twenty taels of silver ingots that he had asked Liu Ruiying to borrow earlier and said.
"Is there your name on it?"
Jing Yao asked sarcastically.
"No, but that's my money. I can put my name on it!"
Hua Nong said.
And when he had finished speaking, he used his sword and carved it on the silver.
"My name, how do I write it?"
Hua Nong suddenly stopped his hand, turned to Liu Ruiying and asked.
This name was given to him by Xiao Jinkan.
He only knows the pronunciation, but not the glyphs.
Liu Ruiying did not answer, but took the silver ingot, and used his sword to engrave the word 'Hua Nong' on the silver ingot.
Hua Nong looked at the words on his silver ingot and smiled happily.
Then he raised it high, as if he was showing off to Jing Yao.
"You only have twenty taels, but here you have four million taels. Twenty taels only need to be engraved twice. Isn't four million taels to be carved thousands of times?"
Jing Yao said.
"If these were my silver, I would carve them. It doesn't matter how much poop you have, until it's finished. ”
Hua Nong said.
Jing Yao shook her head.
Earlier, he had thought of using these silver taels to plot against the young man.
Let these two kill each other.
But now it seems that this teenager simply does not look like a person.
Even Jing Yao couldn't find the words to describe it for a while.
But Liu Ruiying took the opportunity to observe the surrounding terrain.
Tigers catch rabbits, and it's a no-brainer.
But if the tiger is trying to tease the rabbit.
Then it's no wonder that the rabbit has a chance.
Jing Yao looked at the rest of the seventeen boxes of silver that were intact.
And he commanded his men to send out all seventeen chests of silver.
As for the damaged box, he asked his subordinates to divide it themselves.
He didn't mean to come for the money.
Jing Yao is not a person who loves money and is greedy for money.
He was for the turmoil that occurred in the border army of the Zhenbei King Domain after this horse was robbed.
But money, no one hates.
I don't know how many arrows this money can buy.
The steppe is deficient in iron.
This is a well-known thing.
And the city of the royal domain is taken into account.
If there is no arrow, how can you not attack the city?
Jing Yao wanted to use these silver taels to buy a huge amount of arrows to equip the wolf rider.
Liu Ruiying obviously didn't know Jing Yao's plans.
If only he had known about it.
The involvement behind that is far more than what is in front of you.
Arrows are all armaments in the Five Kingdoms.
Private individuals must not circulate like commodities.
There were also caravans that quietly carried arrows in their cargo, hoping to smuggle them into the steppe to sell them for a high price.
But they were all inspected by the border troops at the treaty port one by one, and they were all beheaded on the spot for treason against the enemy!
So who did Jing Yao contact, and who could sell him four million taels of silver arrows?
Liu Ruiying, who just broke free from Bogu Building.
But he didn't expect that he fell into another abyss in a blink of an eye.
