Chapter 13: The Blackbird and the Raven

Yuedi lowered her glass.

But the wine in the pot was not finished.

Liu Ruiying thought that she would be like this, and she would not leave until she was satisfied.

But that's not how the moon flute went.

"I'm a drinker, too, and I drink a lot. ”

Yuedi said.

Liu Ruiying has no doubts about this.

He could see it.

People who drink a lot are completely different from people who have just started drinking.

Hua Nong was also drinking.

But he poured the wine very awkwardly.

When you raise a glass and drink it all, it is also a little too deliberate.

On the other hand, the moon flute is here.

Pour wine, but drink it in one go.

It makes people look like they are flowing with water,

She never deliberately raised her head.

But you can still drink the wine in the glass.

Her neck is beautiful.

Without any wrinkles, smooth and fair.

If you are willing to raise your head and drink, it must be beautiful.

But just like this, drinking without a big battle can show real kung fu.

"Do you know what they called me when I was in the Investigation Division?"

Yuedi asked.

After drinking, she became more lively.

Liu Ruiying naturally didn't know.

The governor of the Investigation Division is too far away from him.

"They all call me General!"

Yuedi said.

"General?"

Liu Ruiying was very surprised.

Only generals in the army who can fight well can be called generals.

Yuedi has never fought a war, how can he be called a general?

"This general does not mean war. In the Investigation Division, there are many people who drink alcohol, but I am the only one who can be rightfully called a general!"

Yuedi said proudly.

Liu Ruiying smiled.

"After that, I stopped drinking. ”

Yuedi said suddenly.

"But you were still drinking. ”

Liu Ruiying pointed to the wine glasses and jugs on the table and said.

"For a general, does drinking so much count as drinking?"

Yuedi asked rhetorically.

Liu Ruiying pursed her lips.

There are no absolutes.

"Then if you don't drink, won't the name of this general be taken away by others?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Not really...... If others want to be a general, they are complacent to let the previous general be defeated. But I don't drink anymore, and no one should fight. So this general is always mine. ”

Yuedi said.

"The general who doesn't drink, but the days have changed a little?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"If you don't drink, it's nothing...... It just feels like the day is getting a long time. And there seem to be a lot fewer friends. In the past, those friends thought that I didn't drink anymore, but it was boring. ”

Yuedi said.

"They used to be scared when they saw me drinking, and they were even more afraid of being drunk by me. As a result, I stopped drinking, but I didn't even ask to eat with me. They all said that after I didn't drink, it wasn't interesting to ask me to go to dinner together. ”

Yuedi continued.

"Do they think your charm lies in drinking?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Even if it's not drinking, at least half of it. ”

Yuedi smiled and said.

Liu Ruiying called Xiao Er to settle the bill.

But Xiao Er didn't dare to collect money.

Because they cut off that master's hand.

Liu Ruiying explained with a wry smile that they were not bullies.

Drink and eat, that's what you should pay.

After some good talk, Xiao Ercai finally took the silver tremblingly.

The three of them walked out of the liquor store.

The sun is shining.

Liu Ruiying squinted.

He hadn't seen such warm and relaxing sunshine in a long time.

Although it can make him quiet at night.

But it's also extremely comfortable to take a few steps in the sun once in a while.

"Shall we go to the inn and settle down first?"

Liu Ruiying pointed ahead and asked the moon flute.

Yuedi nodded absentmindedly.

"The shopkeeper, the number three upper rooms!"

Liu Ruiying said.

"Guest officer, I'm really sorry...... My inn has been taken over today and tomorrow!"

The shopkeeper's confession said.

"Are there any other inns in town?"

Liu Ruiying asked, not dwelling too much.

Although he can live in the station building of the Investigation Division.

But since the Dingzhou incident, he still likes to be alone outside, free.

What's more, in addition to the Hua Nong around him who can be trusted now, even the moon flute still has a three-point embankment.

There's nothing wrong with being careful.

"Although Yangwen Town is prosperous, there is only one inn......"

The shopkeeper said.

I was embarrassed to speak.

"Who did you get it?"

Yuedi asked suddenly.

"He's the head of the local investigation department's station building! Tonight he's going to hold a birthday banquet here, and many friends have come from other places. So he simply chartered the entire inn. ”

The shopkeeper said.

Yuedi and Liu Ruiying looked at each other and smiled.

I didn't expect that the head of a small station building in this investigation department would have such a big card.

"What does Sister Yue think she should do?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"How can you miss such a lively event as a birthday banquet? When the time comes, not only can you stay for one night, but you may also be able to eat a good meal for nothing!"

Yuedi said.

Liu Ruiying feels that this moon flute is simply Ou Xiao'e twenty years later.

This kind of spicy energy is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

"But it's a bit too rude to go empty-handed on someone else's birthday. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"In your opinion, you need to buy some gifts?"

Yuedi asked rhetorically.

Liu Ruiying nodded.

The three of them decided to wander the streets.

As we walked, there was a commotion ahead.

Yuedi just bought a bunch of rock sugar gourds.

I ate two.

The third lesson has not yet been bitten off the bamboo stick.

Hua Nong and Liu Ruiying looked at Yuedi curiously.

They really couldn't imagine that a strange woman who could be so powerful would be like a little girl, who loves to eat rock sugar gourds.

"Why, haven't you ever seen someone eat rock sugar gourd?"

Yuedi asked coldly.

"No...... No. Liu Ruiying was asked like this, but she was extremely embarrassed.

But he understood one thing.

A thing about women.

That is, no matter how powerful a woman's sword is and how high her status is, she will always be a woman.

You will still be unable to walk in front of the vendors selling trinkets.

I will still buy a bunch of rock sugar gourds and eat them while walking.

It's just that the hustle and bustle just now diluted her joy of eating rock sugar gourds.

The third hawthorn had just bitten off, and before it could reach its mouth, it spit out.

"Isn't it delicious?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Delicious. ”

Yuedi said.

"Why did Sister Yue throw up?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"No matter how delicious it is, you have to be in the mood to match it to be able to eat it. If you don't stare at me, you'll understand why I vomited that one. ”

Yuedi said.

Liu Ruiying looked forward.

But I saw that Zhang Ye, who had been given a hand by the moon flute, was walking with more than a dozen people.

It's just that there is another person in front of Zhang Ye.

He cautiously followed the man half a step behind.

The previous domineering is no longer visible.

The face is full of flattery.

"I didn't expect such a little gangster to have such a background!"

Yuedi said.

"Who's that man?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"I don't know what that man's name is, but everyone in the rivers and lakes calls him Blackbird. ”

Yuedi said.

Liu Ruiying saw that the man was dressed in black from beginning to end.

Even his face was covered with a black cloth.

He also wears black leather gloves on his hands.

Holding a black sword.

"Blackbird, I look like a crow. ”

Liu Ruiying said with a smile.

"Those who look down on him really call him a crow. It's just that the people who say this to their faces are dead. He also had his tongue cut out, and then changed into snow-white clothes, still in the middle of the road. ”

Yuedi said.

"He hates white so much?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"I didn't ask him. Why don't you ask in a moment?"

Yuedi said.

Zhang Ye saw the moon flute from afar.

The Blackbird's pace then stopped.

"You cut off my nephew's hand?"

The crow glanced at the moon flute and said.

"He is also a first-class swordsman in the Zhenbei Royal Domain. Cultivation may not be as good as that Sun Deyu, but when it comes to the subtlety of swordsmanship, Sun Deyu is far inferior to him. Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, also recruited many times, but he refused. ”

The Moon Flute paid no heed to Blackbird's words.

Instead, he turned his head to Liu Ruiying and said.

"You know me well?"

The Blackbird also heard these words.

The swordsman's ear has always been extremely sharp.

"I've heard a little. ”

Yuedi said.

"Kill to pay for your life, pay for debts. Each of the three of you leaves one hand and you're ready to roll. ”

Blackbird said.

Liu Ruiying was a little angry.

No matter how powerful this blackbird is, it can't be so indifferent to right and wrong, right?

Just by virtue of his unsuccessful nephew's words, he let the other party leave a hand.

"What if you don't stay?"

Hua Nong, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"If you don't spare your hands, you will save your life!"

Blackbird said.

"My uncle just killed Hao Qi! I came here to congratulate his good brother, Jin Peng, the head of the local investigation department!"

That Zhang Ye stood behind the blackbird and said with a fake tiger.

"Hao Qi, don't you know...... Is it because he is too curious, so he entangles himself to death?"

Hua Nong said.

Liu Ruiying looked at Hua Nong in surprise.

He didn't expect such a witty sentence to come out of his mouth.

It seems that this young man has integrated into this world at a speed far beyond his imagination.

"That's it, I'm going to kill you!"

Blackbird said.

Then he turned around and walked away.

Hua Nong looked at the blackbird's back in confusion.

He didn't know why a person who had just put down his cruel words and was going to kill himself had to leave immediately?

"He's telling you to keep up. There are too many people here, and it is inevitable that innocent people will be hurt. Although the blackbird has no bottom line, as long as he doesn't provoke him, he still has a very kind side. ”

Yuedi said.

"How kind?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"At least in the Zhenbei King Domain, there are hundreds of lonely old people, all of whom are raised by him. Don't look at him as famous again, his martial arts cultivation is high. But all his money is used for these things. Do these good things that he wants to do. ”

Yuedi said.

"Although Sister Yue has left the Investigation Division, she is still thinking about the Investigation Division all the time......"

Liu Ruiying suddenly sighed.

"What do you mean by that?"

Yuedi asked.

"If it weren't for the Investigation Division, why bother to find out the details of these masters of the Zhenbei Domain?"

Liu Ruiying asked rhetorically.

"Get used to it. Not deliberately. ”

The moon flute gently said.

"So you're going to go along? You're probably going to die! You're not from the Investigation Division, so I'm not going to help you. ”

Yuedi turned her head to Hua Nong and said.

He also took out one of the uneaten rock sugar gourds in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I'm not afraid of death, and I don't need anyone's help!"

Hua Nong spit out the hawthorn wrapped in syrup and strode forward.

The Blackbird walked out of town with a kind of person.

I didn't stop until I was in a wood.

The forest turned out to be full of dead trees.

It's spring, obviously.

But the atmosphere in this forest is like autumn.

It's just that there are fewer fallen leaves on the ground.

A dead tree does not produce leaves.

Naturally, there are no fallen leaves.

The blackbird stood under one of the thickest dead trees.

If it weren't for the fact that the black clothes on his body were too eye-catching in the daytime, they would simply blend in with the dead trees behind him.

Zhang Ye and the rest of the people covered their mouths and stood far away.

I didn't even dare to breathe.

But Huanon doesn't care about that.

Every step of the way he walked was hard.

Break the solemn atmosphere that the blackbird has created with great difficulty.

But the Blackbird was still quiet.

Through his exposed eyes, Liu Ruiying also felt a kind of exhaustion. After all, after killing people, he rushed to this Yangwen Town to congratulate his friends on his birthday, which was already a tiring thing.

Hao Qi is actually not curious.

On the contrary, he is an extremely boring person.

He was not interested in anything.

Not to mention curiosity.

But it's such a boring person who can make an appointment like a blackbird.

And let the blackbird wash his neck and wait for him.

He also threatened to kill the blackbird, and he would strip him naked in black and hang it naked on the sign at the door of the wine shop.

The restaurant was then renamed 'Raven Tavern'.

Hao Qi's sword is also very powerful.

But he is different from ordinary swordsmen.

Although he asked the blackbird to wash his neck.

But of the thousand, seven hundred and eight people he killed, not one was stabbed in the throat by his sword.

After being shocked by his sword light, he smashed his heart with a palm of strength and died.

So is he a swordsman or not?

This is also a controversial issue.

It's just that the blackbird was not frightened by his sword light.

The black pupils in his eyes were much larger than normal.

It's as if there is no way back after any light enters.

So before Hao Qi's palm hit his heart, he pierced his palm with a sword.

Then he used his own sword to nail both of his palms firmly to the ground.

The body of the sword is in the ground.

Only one hilt remained.

The tiredness in his eyes was just a little uncomfortable disturbed by Hao Qi's sword light.

But it still has a murderous aura.

It makes people have a chill that goes deep into the bone marrow.

"They say no one can call you a raven in front of you!"

Hua Nong said.

The blackbird's viscar moved up and down a few times.

But after all, not a word was spoken.

He kills people because the other party doesn't give him room to live.

For example, he asked Liu Ruiying and others to leave a hand.

But Liu Ruiying and others didn't listen.

That's why he kills.

And this Hua Nong.

Obviously, the moon flute told him that this blackbird hates others to call him a crow the most.

But Hua Nong said this sentence to his face.

It doesn't seem to be called.

In fact, it has already been exported.

Blackbird felt that he was a very fair person.

Because he gave the other party a choice before killing someone.

Obviously, the other party gave up the choice, so he can't be blamed for killing someone.

"Is there anything powerful about his swordsmanship?"

Hua Nong asked back.

"I haven't seen him draw a sword. ”

Yuedi shook her head and said.

"Then if I kill him, will it affect the birthday banquet in the evening?"

Hua Nong then asked.

Because Zhang Ye said it just now.

This blackbird is the head of the local investigation department and a friend of Jin Peng.

Kill someone else's birthday guest.

Then the proprietor will definitely be unhappy.

"He won't be upset, but I've already thought of a congratulatory gift. ”

Yuedi said.

"Sister Yue, is she going to use this blackbird's life as a congratulatory gift?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Why not?"

Yuedi asked.

"But he's a good guy after all. If he dies, what will happen to the more than 100 lonely old men?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"If he doesn't die, sooner or later he will be recruited by the King of Zhenbei. What will we do when the time comes?"

Yuedi asked rhetorically.

Liu Ruiying was silent.

They were right.

It's just that the starting point is different.

Liu Ruiying only now understood the ruthlessness of this investigation department.

Rather than making him a threat in the future, it is better to cut it off at the source in the first place.

"I'm going to kill you. ”

The Blackbird finally spoke.

"You two can go. ”

The blackbird pointed at Liu Ruiying and the moon flute and said.

He really has his own principles.

"Kill him, will I be able to make people feel very powerful?"

Hua Nong said.

He's learned the importance of being recognized.

That's a good thing.

Liu Ruiying nodded.

It can be regarded as admitting Huanon's statement.

Hua Nong smiled at Liu Ruiying.

He wants to make up for the losses he suffered on Jing Yao and Gao Ren before, and make up for it in one go.

A gust of wind blew.

But there was a slight chill.

Liu Ruiying felt that it was not only this forest that was strange.

And the sun is also very strange today.

It is said that the moon is full and there is a deficiency.

But today, the sun always seems to be only half as if it were only half.

It doesn't look as round as it used to be.

The blackbird looked at the broken sword on Hua Nong's waist, and his face suddenly became a little solemn.

"This is your sword?"

Blackbird asked.

"I've been using it for a long time. It doesn't look good, but it's really easy to use. ”

Hua Nong said.

Blackbird's heart was touched.

Whoever wields such a sword must be a madman if he is not a top master.

But this Hua Nong's eyes were clear, and his tone was steady.

No matter how you look at it, you're not a crazy person.

At best, he was a little strange.

Blackbird has seen Liu Ruiying and Moon Flute again.

Both of them also looked relaxed and fearless.

He took a deep breath.

When it comes to spirit, it's about to come out with a sword.

That's it.

How can you do it without a sword?

If you play the sword, you don't necessarily win.

But if he doesn't have a sword, he will be a crow for the rest of his life.

Blackbirds and crows are both the same color though.

But it sounds very different.

Therefore, his sword has nothing to do with his life.

But he was defending his name!

Whether it's a blackbird or a crow.

It's up to you to be the sword.

But he overlooked an extremely important matter.

That's if he doesn't win.

I'm afraid that others won't have a chance to worry about whether he is called a blackbird or a crow.

Hua Nong obviously wouldn't bother to put on a white coat for him.

But he will definitely find a cloth darker than his clothes and cover him.

The crow, after all, is darker than the blackbird.
