Chapter 336: Who's the Fuel-Efficient Lamp Again?
A chill penetrated the heart, directly through his fingertips in contact with the knife, and the whole body shivered, and the man reacted in an instant, and directly took a few steps back.
Looking at the knife in front of him with a frightened expression, he had the illusion that if he really grabbed the knife, he was afraid that his entire arm would be frozen into ice.
The knife was pitch black, and the blade of the knife cut a graceful arc, whether it was the tortoiseshell crack on the hilt, or the material color of the whole knife like black jade, it looked extremely good-looking, which was why he was attracted to it in the first place.
It's just that at this moment, he said that he didn't dare to touch the knife again.
"What's wrong with you, look at you like that, a knife scares you like this?" The man who was about to attack Pei Jiao on the side immediately stopped, looked at him, and said with three points of curiosity and seven points of ridicule between his words.
Hearing this, he just rolled his eyes, and didn't argue anything, just turned his head to look at the boss who was already standing by the door and said, "Big brother, this sword evil door is tight." β
The 'shopkeeper', who had been closely watching the situation in front of him, looked calm, but he had already muttered more than once in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I know, kill people directly, and then search my body after I have two corpses." β
"Gotcha. β
He said yes, he was nothing, but he was bitter for the other one, only to see that the man looked at Miss Pei's pretty face, and said with some hesitation: "Big brother, such a beautiful girl, just kill it directly?"
"If you want to do it, you will do it, where is so much nonsense. The boss snorted heavily, glaring at him sharply.
The latter didn't dare to make a second time, and the two of them raised the scimitar in their hands at the same time, and they wanted to raise and fall with the knife in their hands, giving Liu Yuan and the others a good time.
I saw the black knife light flashing, and two blood marks flashed on my neck, and I lay down in a daze.
"Where are you going? "I saw Miss Pei, who was lying down well, came to the door in a flash, and stopped in front of the 'shopkeeper'.
Closing the door with his backhand, Liu Yuan held the 'Cold Wave' in his hand, the tip of the knife was tilted downward, looked at the 'shopkeeper' and smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, let's talk, boss?"
Obviously, at that moment just now, Liu Yuan broke out and hurt people, Liu Yuan never showed mercy to those who wanted to kill him, and the two of them didn't even have time to react, so they were silent.
The reason why there is still a 'shopkeeper' is naturally because the other party still has some use.
The back road was blocked, and the front road was blocked, the boss turned his back to Pei Jiao, watched Liu Yuan's eyelids tremble, and suddenly knelt down with a pop.
There was a crisp sound, I was really afraid that the wooden floor would be cracked, but this move made Liu Yuan stunned.
Before he could say anything, the boss raised his hand and clenched his fists and said: "Hero, the two heroes will spare the lives of the little ones, you look at these two unproductive, the culprit who wants to kill the two is dead, and let me go as a fart." β
There was still a cry in his voice, and he thought he was cautious enough that he even hid by the door.
However, the strength of this man and woman is too much higher, and in the face of absolute strength, it is not prudent and cautious to be useful, so he is also single, in order to survive, there is nothing he can't do.
"Hey, it's worthy of being the boss. Looking at the boss kneeling on the ground, Liu Yuan laughed, pulled the bench behind him and sat down, looked at him and said, "Okay, stand up and talk back." Saying that, he gave Pei Jiao a look, and the latter immediately pushed the door and walked out.
Noticing the movement behind him, the boss's heart instantly sank to the bottom, he originally wanted to delay time, and when the brothers who stayed in the inn noticed that something was wrong, they would go and inform the people in the city.
Now it seems unlikely, those people under him know that they will never be the opponent of that girl.
In addition, at this time, they didn't know that something was wrong, and with the cunning of that girl, there was no possibility of a sneak attack.
The two people in front of them seem to be young, but they look like old rivers and lakes when they do things.
But with these things in his heart, he still had a smile on his face, nodded and said, "It's good for the little one to kneel." β
"Okay, if you want to kneel, kneel. Liu Yuan didn't say much, and then asked directly: "How long have you robbed this inn?"
"Just came. The boss replied simply.
"If you say something so ambiguous, you can go underground to see your brother. Liu Yuan said coldly.
"Eh, it's been a day, and I arrived in the early hours of yesterday morning. The boss hurriedly replied, the feeling that the young man in front of him gave him was completely blurred by age.
"How many people are there in the city?" asked Liu Yuan again.
"...... in the city" Hearing this, the boss's heart suddenly burst out, he was really surprised, he couldn't imagine how much the person in front of him still knew.
"Say!" Without giving the other party a chance to think more, Liu Yuan's eyes froze, and he raised the knife slightly.
The next situation was very smooth, and it only took a cup of tea to understand the situation in the city through the kneeling one.
It turned out that the group of people who seized Wuling County were bandits on a mountain outside the city.
In the troubled times, life can't go on, and it is common for them to fall into the grass, and some of them have committed crimes, and the entire southern region is obviously not only this gang of bandits.
To be able to successfully snatch a county seat, it is really a bit of ability, this gang of bandits has a total of more than 800 people, which is already quite large-scale.
Now there are only five hundred people in the city, and there are still people waiting outside the city to respond, after listening to the other party's brief description of the process of seizing the city, Liu Yuan can only sigh that the people in the remote county town of Wuling are really too careless, and I am afraid that they have lived a comfortable life for too long.
After understanding all these things, Liu Yuan was about to ask how to leave the place safely, when Pei Jiao Shi Ran pushed the door and walked in.
"Finished cooking?" Liu Yuan asked in a low voice as he looked up at her.
"yes, can I still make a mistake?" replied Miss Pei in a low voice.
Smiling, Liu Yuan didn't pay attention to Pei Jiao, but looked at the man who was still kneeling on the ground: "Tell me, how many people are there in your inn?"
This is where Liu Yuan is shrewd, in case this boss is cheating and hiding something, Liu Yuan did not directly ask Miss Pei how many people he found.
"Five. The boss didn't dare to hide anything, and replied directly.
Liu Yuan saw Miss Pei again and asked, "Well, how many have you solved?" The latter raised a hand and signaled that it was also five.
So there was no problem, and the whole inn didn't let anyone go.
After finishing speaking, Miss Pei leaned into Liu Yuan's ear and raised another question, that is, when she was dealing with those people in the backyard, she accidentally found a girl who was tied up.
"Oh, is there anything strange about it?" It is normal to say that these bandits have tied up the guests of the inn.
But since Pei Jiao mentioned it so solemnly, there must be something different.
"When I entered, she shook her head desperately, and her mouth was still whimpering, and I didn't remove the plug from her mouth, but searched it from her body. β
As she spoke, Miss Pei handed a sign to Liu Yuan's hand.
Taking the black and gold token, Liu Yuan's eyes froze, frowned, and whispered: "This is the pass token of the Great Northwest Shanglin Road, that girl can have this brand, it is estimated that she must be a girl from the family of an official eunuch." β
"Yes, it's because it's a brand from the Great Northwest that I deliberately showed it to you. Miss Pei nodded.
"Yes. Liu Yuan nodded, took this to heart, and put the sign into his arms.
Seeing the two of them whispering there, I remember that the boss who knelt on the ground was up and down in his heart, and he hesitated a few times when he wanted to speak, afraid that he would say too much and make more mistakes.
After seeing the two of them stop talking, the boss spoke again: "Two heroes, take a look, can you let me go? β
"Hehe, no hurry. Liu Yuan chuckled lightly and said, "Let me ask you one last question." β
"You ask, you ask. β
"We're leaving tomorrow, you say, can we get out of the city smoothly?" Liu Yuan said without blinking, staring directly into the boss's eyes.
Hearing this, the boss didn't speak immediately, lowered his head and thought for a while, this time Liu Yuan didn't urge, just calculated the time in his heart, and waited for almost a hundred breaths before he saw the boss raise his head.
Said: "The specific position in the mountains is not as clear as it is known, but if I think it is early tomorrow, I should be able to leave." β
"However, if you want to be on the safe side, it's better to wait until our people have withdrawn. The boss's words seemed to be really thinking about Liu Yuan.
"Didn't you say before that there were still people outside the city to answer them?" asked Liu Yuan after him.
"Yes, there is, but, isn't this the city already taken, so there is no need to respond. Every time he answered Liu Yuan's question, he had a smile on his face.
Then he said: "After grabbing this wave, the money and materials are enough for our cottage to survive the winter for a few years." β
"Yes. Liu Yuan was noncommittal, judging from the conversation just now, the other party's several answers were connected without any flaws, and there were no inconsistencies.
asked Pei Jiao to find a hemp rope from the house and tie up the kneeling person first.
The latter didn't resist, but just cried and laughed a little and said: "Hero, you tell me that I'm so obedient, what else do you want to tie up." β
Although she said that, Miss Pei still gave him a big tie, and after tying it, she stepped on the other party's back, pulled it hard, and strangled it tightly, ensuring that the other party couldn't break free.
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person, a person who smiles at you all the time can easily make people relax their vigilance, not to mention that the person is still kneeling.
As for whether it would really be useful to the two people in front of him, the 'shopkeeper' didn't know in his heart, and watched the man with the knife at his waist walk out of the house, leaving the woman to guard him.
He relaxed a lot in his heart, that man was not easy to deal with, thinking that this woman would be much easier to deal with, he quietly looked at Pei Jiao's back, his eyebrows lowered, and he thought about a way.
He wanted to live rather than die, but he knew from the beginning that these two would never let him go, as evidenced by the man's unrelenting wielding of the knife.
But soon he will know that this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Looking at the man leaning against the closet, Miss Pei played with a white porcelain teacup in her hand and asked softly, "How many people have you killed?"
Hearing this, the man raised his head, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face: "I haven't killed it, it's all the hands of the little ones, and they are all damned people, innocent people, we won't move." β
The corners of her mouth snorted coldly, if she could believe this, the sow could go up the tree, she was not so naΓ―ve.
Of course, Miss Pei didn't say anything, but took out a few small paper bags from her arms, and her beautiful face like an iceberg showed a charming smile, and shook it in front of the man's eyes: "These are all treasures, I will let you eat them one by one later." β
As he spoke, he had already lifted the teapot, poured a glass of water, opened a packet of powder, and walked in front of the man.
"This, this, what are these?"
Originally, the boss's hands behind his back were still trying to break free, and looking at the woman who was constantly approaching him, he immediately struggled harder.
For the first time, he noticed a beautiful smile, and it also sent chills down his heart.
......
After leaving the house and stepping down the stairs, Liu Yuan did not delay, and according to Pei Jiao's statement, he walked to the backyard.
When Miss Pei went downstairs in time, the guests who came to stay were not harmed, but they slept deeply because they took medicine.
Counting from the right, in the second room, Liu Yuan looked at the situation in the backyard, walked over with a mutter, directly pushed open the door and walked in, the room was dark.
There was only some moonlight thrown into the window, which was not a problem for Liu Yuan, who could see at night.
The cold moonlight was cast on a girl's white and red face, a few strands of black hair hung down on her cheeks behind her ears, her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes looked a little more agile in the moonlight.
is a good-looking girl, although she is not as delicate as Pei Jiao's facial features, but she also has a little more small and feminine feeling.
It is estimated that he is really asleep, even if Liu Yuan's footsteps are very noisy, it does not attract the attention of the girl, and even the eyelashes do not tremble a little.
After taking a few steps forward, Liu Yuan stood in front of the girl and squatted down directly, stretched out his hand and patted the girl's shoulder, I am afraid that his hand was light, and the latter did not react at all.
followed Liu Yuan's hand a little heavier, and he directly reached out and shook the girl's body twice.
Enning sounded, the girl woke up from her sleep, slowly opened her eyes, and after seeing a completely strange man in front of her, she glared at him coldly.
took out the token in his arms and shook it in front of the girl: "This brand is yours?" said and pulled out the white cloth from the girl's mouth.
After a pause of about two or three breaths, the girl suddenly yelled: "Brute, you shameless bandits, I advise you to release Miss Ben immediately, otherwise my father will not let your ...... go"
His mouth followed and cursed, and his voice became louder and louder.
Liu Yuanzhi, who listened, frowned, and with a crisp snap, he slapped the girl's right cheek.
"Shut up!"
