Chapter 33 The goose plucks its feathers
Seeing that Yu Yao ignored him, Ziying was eating with interest, and the crow snorted coldly and walked to the outer courtyard. Pulling up the longbow, there were five feathered arrows on the bow, and with a "boom", the five arrows fired in unison, shooting at the eagle hovering in mid-air.
The crow's archery skills were very powerful, and the guards on the back of the eagle dodged left and right, but they were still shot by an arrow and fell headlong from mid-air.
As soon as he got up from the ground, he was immediately surrounded by the crow's men, and his neck was crushed by a bright blade.
The huge eagle was shot through the throat by an arrow, fell to the ground and fluttered a few times before it stopped moving.
"Go, cook this eagle for me!" the crow spat as if he had vented his hatred.
"Shopkeeper, this ...... You can't eat this!" The little guy standing next to him trembled in horror and stammered.
"What are you afraid of? I have eaten all the peach blossom fish, and I haven't seen what the river god has done to me!" The crow looked at the eagle guard and smiled, turned the Buddha beads in his hand, stroked his beard again, and said in a fake manner: "Yo!
The Eagle Guards are all short and lightweight, so they can control the giant eagle and patrol the whole world for the young emperor.
Now that he has appeared in the Dragon Slashing Stream, what is the task of the young emperor?
The Longjian is too remote here, and the government can't avoid it, so it really belongs to the three regardless areas. The crow has always been domineering, and he has tasted enough of the sweetness of being the king of the mountain, where can he stand the taste of being watched.
"Say, what did the Young Emperor send you for?" the crow asked.
Eagle Guard didn't answer his question, he was shot through his right shoulder by an arrow, but the whole person still endured the pain of the serious injury and said in a stern tone: "Crow, your actions today are the enemy of the entire Yan Dynasty, and the Yan Emperor will not let you go!"
The crow smiled, "It's my rule here that the goose plucks its feathers! He raised his eyebrows, "Break his tendons for me and throw him into the Peach Blossom River!"
"Shopkeeper, this is also a person from the imperial palace, can't we do this?" The little guy was even more frightened, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look around.
The crow slapped him the head, "Who are you listening to?" The little guy was already trembling like chaff, and he was slapped by the crow and fell to the ground directly.
"But......" The other guy behind him also hesitated. "In case of investigation......"
The crow cursed in an angry whisper, and then roared loudly: "I gave you all your lives, and if you don't believe it, I will throw you all into the Peach Blossom River." Clean it up for me. ”
Seeing that the crow gave the order to die, the little servants did not dare to be soft, not only picked the tendons of the eagle guard, but also poked a big hole in his left chest, and then threw it into the turbulent river.
Hearing Weaving Yu recovering what happened in the outer courtyard one by one, a smile appeared in Ziying's eyes.
"Childe, that person is the Eagle Guard of the Young Emperor after all, and this crow's methods are really ruthless. Zhiyu sighed in a low voice.
Purple Shadow glanced at Fire Dance, "Quietly leave people behind." ”
Fire Dance smiled and nodded, and stepped back.
"Childe, I wonder if we are so wise to protect our lives, will we be misunderstood?" Zhiyu was a little worried.
Ziying drank the last mouthful of soup and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "There are gods three feet above your head, don't worry!"
When the crow walked to the inner courtyard, Purple Shadow just got up.
"Don't worry, the eagle meat is delicious, why don't you and my brother sit down and have a good ......?" said the crow enthusiastically.
Ziying hiccuped, "Where did the black shopkeeper invite the cook, he has such a skill, my son hasn't been so full for months." It's still the black shopkeeper who has a mouthful, and the imperial chef in the imperial palace is nothing more than that!"
The crow listened very much to agree, "Yes, yes, yes! Chef Jia is really famous, his craftsmanship is really good! My crow can be regarded as a very tricky taste, I have eaten his dishes for several years, and I still think that he is the best in the world!"
Ziying couldn't help but call Xiao Er again, pointed to the meal he had just eaten, and said, "Just follow these dishes and give me a copy of all the Eagle Guards." As he spoke, he placed a palm-sized gold ingot in the crow's hand.
Then Ziying looked at the fire dance holding herself, and smiled at the crow: "The beauty is on the side, I don't accompany you, the black shopkeeper, I'll go and rest first!"
The crow smiled, "Ah! Shadow Master is casual!" Seeing everyone walking away, the crow's eyes were withdrawn from Huo Wu, he glanced at the two-story building next to him, and hurriedly ran up.
Weaving Xue lowered her head the whole time, watching Purple Shadow and Fire Dance frown in front of the crow, and her heart was very strange. So much so that she didn't know the taste of the food sent by Xiao Er.
Just after the hour, a black figure quietly walked into the courtyard, tapped his toes, and flew over the wall.
Like a ghost, he floated to the pier at the mouth of the dragon slaying stream, and looked around to the left and right, but could not see a single light, only hear the fierce waves crashing against the cliffs on both sides of the riverbank.
He seemed to be looking for something, but he heard a whisper behind him, "Here he is!"
The long sword like moonlight in the black shadow's sleeve pierced straight out, but in the blink of an eye, it was on the man's neck.
"Purple Shadow?"
Zi Ying carefully pushed away the long sword on his neck with the folding fan in his hand, and said angrily: "The Silver Moon Sword sharpens iron like clay, you have to be careful!"
Ah Qi glanced at him, and then looked at the person behind Ziying, who was lying there motionless, not knowing if he was dead or not.
He stepped forward to check and found that the man had broken his hands and feet and was covered in blood, and the blood veins around the big hole in his chest were sealed by the acupoints, but he still bled endlessly, and only one breath remained.
The man glanced at the Silver Moon Sword in his hand, whispered a few words in Ah Qi's ear, and then swallowed.
"Although this crow is notorious, this is his territory, and this eagle guard really shouldn't be there. Purple Shadow whispered.
Ah Qi threw the man's body into the Peach Blossom River, "The world is the world of Emperor Yan, what is a crow!"
Purple Shadow nodded undeniably, "That's true." ”
Ah Qi looked at the belvedere on the cliff wall, where a torch was lit and two guards.
Purple Shadow asked, "And what are you going to do?"
"You'll find out tomorrow. Ah Qi put on the hat on his cloak and disappeared into the night.
Purple Shadow asked, "Do you want to help?"
A Qi's cold voice came from the wind, "No!"
The wind in the canyon was very strong, and the people who listened to the whimpering sound were hairy. It was like a woman's low cry, and the voice was extremely miserable.
Early the next morning, the inn was very lively.
It turned out that the black shopkeeper disappeared inexplicably, and this bandit village dressed in the skin of an inn was all messed up for a while. While the guys in the store were arguing about the position of shopkeeper, a handsome boy walked into the inn with a letter.
"Young Master?" Xiao Er looked at the man in surprise and exclaimed. Everyone also looked at the man, with different expressions on their faces.
The man was dressed as a scholar, about eighteen or nineteen years old, and full of bookishness.
He took the letter in his hand and raised it in front of everyone's eyes, "This is the letter that my father left me, you can take a look!"
After speaking, he sat on the chair above the main hall, saw a cup of brewed tea on the table, took a sip of it, the tea was fragrant, and the water temperature was just right.
Chef Jia snatched it over, and saw that the handwriting was indeed the handwriting of a crow. The letter also mentioned that he felt very unhappy and wanted to return to the Mo tribe for treatment, and the inn was temporarily managed by Wu Bao'er, etc.
"Wu Bao'er, didn't you follow your mother to the Mo Clan? Didn't your mother say that she disdained to be with us? Now that you're back, does your mother know?"
The ancestor of the crow was originally a distant relative of the Mo clan, Xu is Dao is different and did not conspire with each other, separated early, and changed his surname. Wandering around all year round, life is not satisfactory. It wasn't until the crow's generation that he was so vicious that he robbed the house and was suppressed and excluded all the way, so he wandered to the dragon stream, renovated this deserted inn, killed people and goods, fished corpses for gold, and earned money for life and death.
Wu Bao'er sighed, "I received a letter from my father half a month ago, he said that many reasons have been in recent days, and they all feel deeply powerless, lest the time has come, and they want to go back to the Mo clan to let the divine doctor take a look, so I hereby write a letter to summon me back." The inn is the inn of my Wu family, so I will naturally take over. No matter how much my mother disagrees, she can't change that I am the son of a crow. ”
Most of the people in the inn have had a lifelong friendship with the crows, and now it is natural for the son to inherit his father's business.
It's just that Wu Baoer has always had a tense relationship with his father, the crow disappeared inexplicably, and Wu Baoer came back suddenly, and everyone always felt a little uneasy.
"You don't need to panic, last night, my father had already taken a boat back to the Mo tribe to see a doctor, and when my father is healthy, he will naturally come back, you don't have to worry!" Wu Bao'er's words were like a reassuring pill. After all, his biological son will never joke with his father's life!
"Let's all get busy!" Everyone seemed to be afraid of this young master, and seeing that Chef Jia was silent, the others dispersed.
Wu Bao'er looked at Yan Nu standing on the small building and smiled at her, but Yan Nu returned to the hut without saying a word.
"Hey, is breakfast ready?" a woman called out behind her.
Wu Bao'er looked back, but she froze as if she was out of her body.
The woman was dressed in a water-green Confucian skirt, with a cyan belt tied around her waist and peony flowers embroidered on the neckline of the white thread wrap. A round goose egg face with slender eyebrows. Especially those eyes, bright and moving, the aura is very strong. As if her soul had been sucked away by those eyes, Wu Bao'er looked like a wooden man.
"Hey, that handsome little scholar, what are you looking at?" Qu Linglong saw that the scholar-like person kept looking at herself, but she thought that there was something wrong with her, and she looked around and didn't find anything abnormal.
Wu Bao'er bowed, "It's rude!." ”
Hearing the woman call him like this, her white face was flushed. "Breakfast is ready and will be delivered later. ”
"Thank you!" Qu Linglong looked at him with a smile. How can this person be so thin-skinned and blush at every turn, Qu Linglong doesn't intend to tease him. didn't wait for Wu Bao'er to speak again, Qu Linglong had already slipped away.
Wu Bao'er watched the green disappear around the corner of the courtyard, and there was an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, how could he forget to ask her name.
