Early the next morning, Zhuge Chen stood by the window and looked out. The rolling yellow sand is swept by the wind, and it is really difficult to see.

Zhuge Chen sighed and thought, the scenery outside the demon cave is better, at least when it is sunny, it can also be a good mood. Even if it is cloudy and rainy, hidden among the mountains and rivers and bamboo forests, listening to the ticking sound of raindrops hitting the tiles, isn't it also a different flavor? Especially thinking that there will always be a rain and a clear sky, Zhuge Chen has an impulse to return to the world.

But before that, he still has to meet the Yuncheng City Lord. In business, you can't change the nature just because the friendship between the two is a fateful relationship. Otherwise, the further back you go, your friends won't have to do it. After that, he still has to go to find Qin Ming, and he doesn't necessarily have to show up. After all, this is just a secret move that he unintentionally inserted willows, whether it can take root or not is beneficial and harmless to Zhuge Chen. Like this kind of business that is destined to be rich, he just hates not being able to do more.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Zhuge Chen said to Ning Li on the side: "Believe it or not, this must be the shopkeeper." ”

Ning Li nodded and said: "Nonsense, the murder case of Gongzi Qian is in front of you, and you don't need to think about how exquisite you are to guess that it was the two of us." What's more, the phrase "no treacherous business" is not nonsense, the origin of the two of us is unknown, and the shopkeeper is clear. ”

Zhuge Chen narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it! When did the little princess of our Nine-Tailed Demon Fox clan speak to such an exquisite level? ”

Ning Li just wanted to refute, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Chen had already opened the door, and the person standing at the door was naturally the shopkeeper.

Zhuge Chen opened his mouth and said: "The shopkeeper came uninvited so early, could it be that there is something wrong?"

The shopkeeper didn't say a word for a long time. just kept scanning Zhuge Chen's actions from top to bottom, as if he wanted to find a trace of something strange in it. It's not that it particularly wants to directly correct the murderer on the spot, it's just that no matter how you say it, Gongzi Qian is also a son of a famous family, and he has an elder brother who is known as the dragon and phoenix among people. The two parties are superimposed, and it can't afford to ask the teacher for the guilt of any party. When the time comes, it is a trivial matter to lose the business handed down by the ancestors, but if you lose your life because of this, it is called regret.

So it's just trying to find an explanation, don't let this kind of thing end up being held accountable to itself. It can be seen that the white-clothed family in front of him is naturally very promising. Just by looking at the woman's appearance after removing the scarf, you can guess that such a fairy-like face, it is still the only one in her life. In addition, the skin in white is also brilliant and abnormal, such an identity, even if it is a murder, it must not matter. With the idea that the dead friends are not dead and poor, the shopkeeper must find a way to survive no matter what.

Zhuge Chen saw that it had not spoken, so he simply took the lead and asked: "Shopkeeper, if you want to say something, just say it directly, if it goes on like this, I will close the door and thank you." ”

After he finished speaking, he was about to close the door.

The shopkeeper couldn't guess the true thoughts of the white clothes in front of him, so he simply let it go and asked directly: "Guest officer, do you know about the death of Gongzi Qian?"

Zhuge Chen smiled mysteriously and said: "Of course you know, wasn't it discovered by other tenants in the morning? According to the speed of the spread of this kind of gossip, I'm afraid the entire tavern will not be without it! Besides, when the young man of Qian is fine, he always has a big shelf from a famous family, and he doesn't like to gossip when he has nothing to do, and the tenants who have lived here for a long time must be annoyed by it." I have been hearing a cheerful voice coming from downstairs all the time, let me guess if they are making some banquets? If this is the case, the shopkeeper shall quickly order the shopkeeper to add three more jars of wine to each table, and they will be counted in my account. I'll go down later, and be happy with them, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy!"

Zhuge Chen said a word, and made the shopkeeper dizzy, and vaguely only remembered the addition of wine. But when it was about to leave, it found that it was not the case, so he knocked on the door again and shouted loudly: "Actually, I just want to ask you whether the death of Qiangongzi has anything to do with you." You also know that we can't be cautious when we do small business, otherwise it is very likely that we will lose all our money, and even lose our lives...... What's more, I have both young and old, all pointing to me and living in this desert tavern with small profits, and you have a lot of sympathy for us......"

"Don't argue, I killed Gongzi with my own hands. Get out of here now, or I'll annoy me and kill you." In the room, Zhuge Chen's voice came slowly. Although the tone is flat, these threatening words inevitably send chills down the spine.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper climbed down the stairs. It's just that in addition to fear, there is a trace of indescribable excitement. When it came to the first floor, looking at the full house of drinkers, it let out a sigh of relief and said to itself: "It's okay now, at least there is an explanation." ”

Unexpectedly, a voice came from behind him: "What is it that can make the shopkeeper so excited? ”

The shopkeeper turned his head stiffly, and saw Zhuge Chen standing on the stairs with a smile, but he didn't dare to reply, so he thought about slipping away.

Zhuge Chen didn't mean to be too embarrassed by it, but continued: "I ordered to bring up the three jars of wine on each table, just don't let me wait in a hurry." ”

As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper was pardoned, and he ran away in small steps and said, "Don't worry, the three jars of wine don't want your money, just as I honor you." ”

Just kidding, three jars of wine per table are only a few dollars, although it is enough for its flesh to ache for a while, but where can it compare to its own life? When the money is gone, it can be earned again, and the life is gone, but it is really an empty place that cannot take anything away.

Zhuge Chen walked to the first floor, and the demons consciously gave up the most central position. Bai Yi sat down, frowned and looked at the empty wine jar on the ground, and asked, "How can everyone be so restrained on such a suitable day for drinking?"

Now, even if you drink it openly, you will be given three jars of wine at each table for a while, and you don't need money!"

The evil cult was obviously slightly drunk, and he was still not satisfied with such a big bargain, so he opened his mouth full of wine and said, "What if the three altars are not enough?"

Zhuge Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, count it on my head!"

The evil people erupted in applause, all praising the extraordinary bearing of the white-clothed man beside them, and they would not care too much about such trivial matters. Drinking alcohol is still money for those big clan sons, and it is enough to have fun. The topic shifted from this to the body of the young man Qian, the tree fell and the macaque scattered, and the same was true in the demon cave. Even those evil people who were saddling in front of the horse and followed the prince of Qian a few days ago also held back their stomachs, and their words were full of sarcasm.

For this kind of hot and cold world, Zhuge Chen has long been used to it. He just quietly replaced the cheap wine in the tavern with the sheep he took from Gongzi Qian, and poured it into his own bowl. He is not the boy of good money, and it is impossible to really ignore the evil people in the tavern who spend money on wine.

The bold evil man came to Zhuge Chen's side and took the opportunity of the toast to ask: "Childe, since Gongzi Qian is dead, you can tell us the truth." Did you kill it?"

Zhuge Chen nodded and shook his head again.

The evil is confused.

Zhuge Chen laughed and explained: "It is true that I killed Gongzi Qian, but it is not that I want to kill him, but that it killed me first. It's just that stealing chickens doesn't make rice, but it mistakes his own life. ”

The evil cults suddenly realized, and just when one of them raised a glass together, ready to tout Zhuge Chen. I only heard a loud noise from the depths of the desert in the distance, and even the rolling yellow sand retreated, gradually revealing the two shadows inside.

......

After sending Wang Daxue away, the days of the evil robe can be regarded as very boring. Without such a pistachio that dares to speak and dare to do, it seems like something is missing. In the past, when I was alone in the City Lord's Mansion, I didn't feel anything, even if I practiced day after day from spring to autumn, I didn't feel any boring, but now it is difficult to calm down.

But fortunately, after a while, there will be that Zhuge boy coming, which makes it feel a little hopeful. For Zhuge Boy, the Taoist robe is really envious of the other party's talent and the freehand style that others can't learn. But it's okay, the better the interracial friends I can make who can live and die together, the happier it is. What's more, they have one person and one evil and a deal, so it's even better.

Anyway, if he wants to go further to the realm of perfection in his current realm, penance is no longer half useful, so he wants to go out of the city to relax.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of Yuncheng, he noticed that there was an evil spirit going north through Yuncheng with a murderous aura. As the city lord of Yuncheng, he can't just ask about this kind of thing, otherwise he will let the cultivators pass over his head day and night, what kind of system will it become?

Thinking like this, it went straight to the clouds and stopped the evil man, only to realize that it would be one of its juniors. It's just that the relationship between the two is very far away and chaotic, and it can be regarded as a distant relative

Cousin descendants. In other words, they are two races and have been friends for generations. It's just that his own family is thriving, and the other party is going downhill.

The Dao Robe Evil frowned, and said, "What are you going to do in such a hurry?

When the evil man saw that it was one of his elders, he replied respectfully: "One of the descendants of the clan has been killed, and the life-sustaining lights in the ancestral hall have been cut off. It happened suddenly, forget about it, and please don't blame it. ”

When the Taoist robe heard this, he said with a smile: "That is indeed excusable. In that case, I'll go with you, and I'll be idle anyway. ”

The evil man didn't dare to refuse, but led the way towards the desert tavern.
