After a conflict with the disciples of the Kongtong faction, Xun Qin knew that his whereabouts had been exposed, and if he didn't get out as soon as possible, the next troubles would definitely follow.

After a night without saying a word, the horse galloped, and Xun Qin and his party entered the boundary of Shenzhou before dawn.

The cold morning of late autumn is pressing, and the cold wind swept the autumn frost and morning dew down the cuffs and necks into the body, making people shiver from the cold.

The sky is bright, the city of Shenzhou is quiet, the streets are empty, every household is still dreaming, and the doors of the rows of shops are closed and have not yet opened.

More than a dozen dusty carriages "squeaked" through the streets and alleys, looking a little out of place in the lonely Shenzhou City.

"Bang, bang!"

There was a sudden knock on the door of the silent Tianyuan Inn, which startled the sleeping guy in the lobby, and fell to the ground from the bench without paying attention.

As the largest inn in Shenzhou City, the rule here is that it is open all year round, day and night.

However, Shenzhou is not a prosperous place after all, there are not many diners during the day, and even fewer guests stay at night. Over time, most of the men became lazy and lazy, and they simply closed the door and slept at night, and now they are disturbed by people like this, and they do not meet them a few times a year.

"Bang bang bang!"

Before the man could get up from the ground, there was a dull knock on the door again.

"Damn! Knock on the door early in the morning like a ghost, and report the funeral?"

The man got up, dusted off his body with one hand, wiped the corner of his mouth with the other, and muttered and complained as he walked towards the door.

The people here are fierce and informal, even if it is just a small inn guy, it still gives people a sense of grandeur and domineering. In fact, they are not deliberately targeted, but they are just temperamental, and most of their words and deeds are arbitrary, and they don't know what subtle euphemism is.

Therefore, if the newcomers are not familiar with the customs here, the timid and afraid will only feel that tigers and wolves are rampant, and they are angry everywhere. As for the bold...... I'm afraid that if I don't agree, I will get angry, and even fight.

"Squeak!"

There was a soft sound, the door was divided left and right, and the sleepy-eyed guy was just about to open his mouth to question, but he was frightened by the twenty or so big men with swords and swords in front of him, and the complaints that came to his mouth were also swallowed back into his stomach.

"You ...... What do you want to do? This is the Yuan family's business ......."

"Stop talking nonsense! Free up all the rooms in your store and prepare a few more tables of good wine and food. Xiao Yang and Xun preached, you carry Liu Xunyi upstairs to rest. ”

Before the guy finished speaking, Abaoru had already pushed him away and led a meteoric break into the inn, in groups of three or five, each seated.

"Miss Xunqin, I'll go to the back kitchen to decoct the medicine for Brother Liu. ”

"Do you need help?"

"It's just a bowl of soup and medicine, so you don't have to bother. You've been tired for days, so stay here to rest your legs and eat something!"

"It's okay! I'll let them deliver it for you when the medicine is ready, and I'll let them deliver it for you......"

"Thank you Miss Xun Qin for your kindness, but I can do it myself. ”

After speaking, Pan Yuyin bowed slightly to Xun Qin, who wanted to stop talking, and then asked the helpless guy for directions, and walked quickly towards the back kitchen with the medicine bag.

Looking at her slender back, an inexplicable glow flashed in Xun Qin's eyes, and he murmured: "It seems that everything is fate, in vain I tried hard to persuade you, but you still fell in love, and ...... Falling deeper and deeper, it is difficult to extricate yourself......"

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's still early at the moment, there is no one in the back kitchen, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer!"

The man's voice interrupted Xun Qin's thoughts, and before she could answer, Abaolu, who was sitting on the side, had already scolded and scolded: "Bullshit excuse! If the cook is not there, you will starve to death? What do you eat with hands and feet? Will you cut a few catties of beef and serve a few jars of good wine?"

"I ......"

"The uncles have long been so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs, so if there is anything ready-made, hurry up and bring it up. Xiao Yang, who sent Liu Xunyi upstairs, walked down the stairs slowly and leisurely, and said unhappily, "Are you afraid that we won't be able to eat white food?"

"That's not what I meant......"

"No, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and serve the wine and meat!" Su Hu took out the scimitar on his waist and threw it on the table with a "bang", which made the guy's face change in fright.

Seeing that the other party was fierce and vicious, with a sword next to him, as if he was not a good stubble, the guy did not dare to openly contradict him even if he was angry, so he could only shrink his head and roll his eyes at Abaolu and the others, muttering quietly, and walking towards the back kitchen unwillingly.

"Fuck! I'm so hungry that my chest is against my back, why don't I see you starving to death?"

Stepping into the back kitchen, the guy who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak was immediately revealed, relying on the back kitchen away from the lobby, while cutting the beef indignantly, while cursing at the top of his throat: "A thief with eyebrows and rat eyes, a face full of meat, at first glance is not a good person." Early in the morning, I eat meat and drink wine, and I beware of my stomach and intestines, and I will eat you to death......"

"Smack!"

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound from the inner kitchen, which made the guy stunned, and he remembered Pan Yuyin who had just asked him for directions, and his heart tightened, regretting that he shouldn't have been open-mouthed and forgot that the wall had ears.

"Alas!"

The more he thought about it, the more frightened the guy hurriedly threw down the beef in his hand, slowly walked to the inner kitchen, and said, "That...... Girl, I wasn't talking about your friend, I was just ......"

Before he finished speaking, the man's voice stopped abruptly, and a thick look of shock instantly appeared on his embarrassed face.

Just because he opened the curtain, he found Pan Yuyin lying motionless on the ground, life and death unknown. A pot of soup on the stove was ruthlessly knocked over, the steaming medicinal soup flowed wantonly, and the air was filled with a pungent and unpleasant smell of medicine.

However, the most surprising thing was that there were two middle-aged men standing in the back kitchen at this time. One person is dressed in white like snow, and the other is dressed in black like ink, and his clear dress is like a soul-seducing "black and white impermanence", which is daunting and chills in the bottom of my heart.

These two people are the "Sunlight White Jade Sword" Jihou and the "Moonlight Ink Washing Sword" Fuyin who followed Tang Afu all the way on the order of Jin Fuyu.

"You ...... ...... are you," the man looked at the two of them with horror in his eyes, his throat tightened for a moment, his tongue knotted, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

"Is there a seriously injured man who came with those people outside?" asked Ji Hou lightly.

"Like...... There was a 'paralyzed man' who was carried directly up to the second floor. ”

"Which room?"

"Tianzi No. 1 ......" knew that he couldn't provoke the other party, and the guy who had always had no one in his eyes faced Ji Hou's questioning, and he knew everything and said everything.

Hearing this, Ji Hou and Fuyin glanced at each other, and it was difficult to hide a trace of joy between their eyebrows.

"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Fu Yin sneered, "Tang Afu is going around Changbai Mountain, refusing to show up, I don't know what he is rubbing? Since Liu Xunyi can be strangled in Shenzhou, why wait for him to come out of the tiger's den Longtan? Ji Hou, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Tang Afu can't be relied on at all, it is better for you and me to directly solve Liu Xunyi, there are many long nights in the province, and it will only increase the variables." ”

"It's okay!" Ji Hou muttered, "Ding Ao and Dong Xiao'er are both 'foreign monks' with us, but they have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and they are deeply valued and appreciated by the Lord of Jinwu. Especially the treacherous and cunning Ding Ao, his current status in the hearts of the Jinwu lords is no less than that of Song Yu and Leng Yiyi, the veterans of Jinjianwu. If we can't show our strength anymore, sooner or later we will be excluded by them and there will be nowhere to go. ”

"That's right!" Fukure nodded heavily, "Without further ado, we'll go up right ......"

"No!" Ji Hou grabbed Fuyin, who was eager to try, and thought, "Those masters of the Western Regions are not vegetarians, and our rash actions are very easy to expose." Once they do, they are outnumbered, and it's hard for us to get a bargain. ”

"That ......"

"Liu Xunyi was seriously injured, unable to move an inch, without Xun Qin's protection, he was no different from the turtle in the urn. To be sure, we ...... Solve the problems on the outside first. ”

As for this, Ji Hou cast a sly gaze on the dazed guy, and asked meaningfully: "You just said that you can't hate those people outside, are you sincere?"

"This ......"

"Take it!"

Ji Hou Shun took out a jade bottle in his arms and stuffed it into the man's hand without saying anything.

"It's ......"

"This is a desperate dispersion, colorless and tasteless, killing people in no shadow and invisible, not even a silver needle can be poked out. Ji Hou said lightly, "You mix them with wine and meat, and bring them out for those people outside to enjoy." Without a single stick of incense, they will surely bleed from their seven orifices and rot their intestines. ”

"No!"

I don't know if he is afraid of Ji Hou and Fuyin, who treat human life like a mustard, or afraid of the invisible poison that kills people, the guy subconsciously let out an exclamation, wanting to throw away the medicine bottle, but Fuyin grabbed his wrist first.

Suddenly, the qi and blood were blocked, and the pain was unbearable, which made the guy cry bitterly.

"Uncle spares his life...... I just complained, and I was addicted to it...... "The guy was sweating profusely in pain, and his voice trembled, "I'm just a shopkeeper who pours tea and water, even if I eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, I don't dare to harm people's lives......"

"The husband has said a word, and the horse is difficult to chase, how can you be allowed to go back on your word?" Fu Yin gradually exerted force, almost breaking the man's wrist, "I hate capricious villains the most in my life, if you don't comply, I will pour this bottle of despair into your stomach." ”

"Uncle spare my life, I have an eighty-year-old mother and an unborn child......"

"Is it a common trick of Peach Blossom Sword Island to threaten the people who are powerless? I thought the method of the 'Sun and Moon Twin Swords' was so clever, it turned out to be nothing more than that!"

Suddenly, a sneer full of contempt sounded from outside the room. Immediately after, a white shadow smashed through the window like a lightning dragon and flew in.

"Tang Afu?"

As soon as they saw the visitor, Ji Hou and Fuyin couldn't help but be stunned, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on their faces. After all, Jin Fuyu ordered them to secretly follow Tang Afu, but their whereabouts were exposed, and they were even approached by others, if they were not embarrassed, it would be false.

"Tang Shaoxia, how are you ......?"

"Poof!"

Ji Hou and Fu Yin, who were not waiting to look at each other, flickered, Tang Afu's eyes suddenly cold, and he drew his sword out of its sheath, accompanied by a long sword sound, which was fierce and pressing, and the ruthless sword with silver light pointed directly at Ji Hou's eyebrows.

"I'm reluctant to show up just to see what the hell you're up to. Tang Afu's face was expressionless, and his words were cold, "From Jingjiang to Shenzhou, you have been ghostly, rather than hiding your head and showing your tail, it is better to get straight to the point." Why do you follow me? Are you making your own decisions, or are you ...... Jin Fuyu can't trust me?"

......
