The guard in front of the gloomy castle looked at Li Yushuang and the others with hanging eyes, as if he had some pity, and then smiled at the leading sergeant: "Jones, where did you find a few fat sheep?"

"Merchants from outside the city, I'm about to take them to meet the lord. Jones replied.

"It's better for you patrol team, gatekeepers like us can't do anything, maybe your life will be lost that day. The guard laughed to himself.

"Come on, I'm still envious of your comfortable place, a few days ago I met a few cultivators from Beiju Luzhou, and they were almost beaten half to death. Jones said, waving his hand.

"I don't have anything to do with you, it's a big deal to miss the lord's dinner. ”

"Then you don't have to worry, Ari also brought a team of men back earlier, and the lord is probably tasting it now. The guard laughed.

"Hurry up, hurry up, in the end, let that kid steal the first credit. ”

Jones was very displeased when he heard this, and beckoned to the people behind him and said, "Let's go." With that, he passed through the gates of the castle.

"Jones, you're too early, you might as well talk here. The guard shouted behind him.

"Hey, who's going to talk to you bad old man. Jones cursed under his breath and walked into the castle without looking back.

......

Jones led the team around the castle and eventually brought them to a meeting room-like place.

The layout in the living room is not as gloomy as the periphery of the castle, a rectangular table is set up in the room, a lot of fresh flowers are inserted in the bottle in the middle of the table, more than ten wooden chairs are placed around the table are cushions with brown patterns, the goose-yellow wall is brighter in the contrast of the scorching sun, three oil paint portraits are hung on the wall, it looks like the same person, the person in the painting has red lips and white teeth, the elegance is peerless, wearing noble clothes, holding a folding fan and sitting upright. There is a screen in each of the two corners of the living room, and behind it is a wooden bathtub, soap horns, square towels and other cleansing things.

"Your Excellency is having dinner, you will rest here for a while, and I will introduce you later, there is a bathtub in that corner, wash the dust for a while, and don't stain the eyes of the lord at that time. After Jones finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but Li Yushuang stopped him: "Master Jun, where are you going?"

"Why, where am I going to be restrained by you?" Jones asked, turning, displeased, and sharply questioned.

"Don't dare, don't dare. Li Yushuang hurriedly laughed.

"Humph!" Jones snorted, and then said, "You shouldn't ask, don't be nosy." ”

After that, Jones approached the subordinates behind him and whispered: "I'll go to visit the lord, get some light food for them later, and then let them take a bath, all of them have kept an eye on me, one less, but you ask!"

"Don't worry, boss, our brothers are alert. One of the subordinates, a young man who was usually good friends with Jones, said:

Jones bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and left with peace of mind, and after he left, the young man named Kanis, who had been his friends for a long time, became the dominant man in the living room.

Kanis took a few steps forward, pointed to Li Yushuang's nose and ordered, "You guys, go to the bathtub behind the screen and wash up, don't bring the smell of dust to the lord." ”

On the other hand, Li Yushuang did not say anything, but her eyes were slightly closed, and she listened carefully to the footsteps of Jones outside the door.

"What's the matter? Are you deaf, can't you hear you talking?" Kanis saw that Li Yushuang was not driven by himself, and immediately felt that he had folded his face in front of his brothers, and raised his hand to fan Li Yushuang's cheeks. The latter raised his arm to block the blow, still listening carefully.

"Eh, it's against you!" Kanis saw that the little businessman in front of him actually dared to resist, and his heart was even more angry, and he changed his hand and slapped Li Yushuang's cheek.

At this moment, Li Yushuang heard the sound of Jones's footsteps getting farther away, so he no longer disguised, and with a slash of his palm, his palm was like a knife to cut off half of the arm that Kanes swung from, and stepped forward, clamping his neck with both hands and strangling him.

"Qinghu, do it, don't splash blood. Li Yushuang shouted in a low voice.

Ji Mengqing's heart was on fire today, and after receiving Li Yushuang's order, Lianbu moved lightly, and the guards who came with Jones didn't even make a cry for help, and they died.

"Good, good, why should the Taoist make up and kill evil. Although he couldn't open his eyes, he could still feel the passage of life in the field, shout the Buddha's name, and turn his back.

Tevoya raised the punishment scale, and after confirming that there were no good people among the deceased in the field, he bowed his head slightly at Li Yushuang and said: "That is, it is evil, and it should be beheaded." ”

After cleaning up the sergeants, Ji Mengqing walked up to Li Yushuang and kicked him hard in the calf.

"Eh. Li Yushuang exclaimed bitterly.

"Okay, don't pretend, I didn't use martial arts to kick you, how could it hurt. Ji Mengqing looked at his pretentious expression and scolded with a smile.

"Hey, hey. Li Yushuang smiled.

"Little Taoist, what are you doing with this play today?" asked Meng Qingqiu.

Li Yushuang's previous groveling appearance made her very curious about what could make him do this.

Li Yushuang paced to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, and slowly said about today's events:

"Since I entered the city of Xbert, I have noticed that something is wrong, the real scene here is too different from what Thevoya said, at first I thought if the map was wrong, or I drove in the wrong direction, but when Jones said the name of the city of Xbert, I wondered if it was just the name of the similarity, until I heard Jones say that I was embarrassed by the cultivators of the Northern Juluzhou from outside, and I confirmed that this place was the city of Xbert. ”

"At first, I really wanted to spend money, and it was a big deal to go out of the city to find a different place to raise supplies, but Jones, who was willing to lead the way for personal gain by virtue of his position, really made me wonder what kind of wishful thinking he had, and the location of the city of Xbert was critical. In wartime, it can be used as a place of handover between Xiniu Hezhou and Beiju Luzhou, which can solve the crisis of the city and will definitely help in the future. ”

"The castle guards said that they envy the work of the patrol, and they will lose their lives if they can't make meritorious service, which is also a suspicion, and it is a crime to be guilty of no merit, but it is a taboo for soldiers since ancient times, not to mention that this castle is the residence of the lord, and the guards here are idle officials, even if there is an external attack, they can often find a chance to escape, and there is no trace of war in the city, but the army is still in line, and the civilians are nowhere to be seen, even if it is a military fortress, it will not be such a scene. ”

"Then the guard called us a few of us fat sheep, and if this fat sheep is for money, then when I take out the gold beads, Jones should lead a team and plunder us. If you value my fake identity as a businessman, and intend to open up business routes, seek change for Xbert, and repeat glory, then you should be more respectful to us, Jones and his party are clearly plotting against us, but for some reason, they cannot be executed in time. ”

"During this time, Jones mentioned many of the lords' dinners, and instructed the other sergeants as he was leaving, so that it can be deduced that the real intention of the present scene in the city, and the holding us hostage, was the lord of the place, Lord Kesbert, and as for the previous group of men and horses in the words of the guards, and the tasting, I am afraid that it ......."

Ji Mengqing also sensed the metaphorical meaning between the words at this moment, and asked, "You said that this lord is a cannibal?"

"As for what this intention is, it is not known for the time being, but it is certain that it will not be a good thing. Besides, the territory is depressed like this, and no one who is the lord will have the heart to organize a dinner party. ”

Ji Mengqing heard Li Yushuang's tirade, and couldn't help but sigh: "You little Taoist priest, you are really suspicious. ”

"I'm a big deal, so it's always right to be careful. Li Yushuang smiled when she heard this, and said.

Hearing this, Thevuya pondered the logic in her heart, and then asked, "Could this place have been controlled by the Heavenly Palace?"

"Probably not, these sergeants are all ordinary people, they don't have cultivation, even if they really find a few of us, it will be difficult to convey the news, and the Heavenly Palace should not do such a useless thing. Li Yushuang replied.

"So what should we do next?" asked Ji Mengqing.

"Wait and see, the fox tail of the lord of this place should not be hidden for long. ”

......

Let's talk about another place in the castle.

Jones fell to his knees in front of the castle's chamber and shouted, "Your Lord." ”

"It's Jones. ”

"Came back empty-handed today?" a magnetic female voice came from behind the door, and the voice was muffled, as if she was chewing something.

Hearing this, Jones' hands couldn't stop trembling, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "Today, I met a group of four people from the merchant on the street, two men and two women, the woman is not very old, she should still be a virgin, and she has been escorted to the castle parlor. ”

"Good. The sound behind the door of the main room was tinged with joy.

"You're still a little useful, Jones, and what Ari brought back are some mountain villagers, and the meat is very rough, but it's not as fat and strong as the one he raised himself. The sound in the main room came to this, smacking his lips, as if he was reminiscing about something.

And this lip smacking sounded like the death knell of death to Jones, and the already cold castle, Jones felt even more like falling into an ice cave at the moment, and he was busy kowtowing again:

"Lord Lord, Ari's boy is so indulgent and hardworking, he only thinks about pleasure all day long, and he can't share his worries for Lord Lord, damn it!"

"Oh?"

"And what can you do for Benjue?"

"Then Ari is fat, my lord, and the little one is going to take the people in the parlor for you. ”

Jones said to flee and leave, and from the main room behind him, the lord's wild laughter was like a ghost urging him to kill him, and in a panic, Jones fell down the stairs, rolled down, and did not care about crying out in pain, struggled to get up, and ran towards the living room.
