Volume 1 The Fledgling Three Brothers Chapter 96 The Twenty Taels of Gains and Losses
Ji Longjun's hair stood on end, and he hurriedly covered Ji Kai's mouth to prevent him from making a sound.
After a while, Ji Longjun dared to pluck up his courage and looked out through the crack in the window again.
The horseback commander downstairs was still looking at this window, and Ji Longjun happened to look at him, and his back was wet with fright.
But he didn't dare to close the window.
After all, it was pitch black in the house now, with faint starlight outside, and torches all over the street, and it was normal to see nothing from the light to the dark, only pitch black.
But as long as Ji Longjun closes the window slightly, no matter how small the movement is, it will be noticed by those sharp eyes.
Ji Longjun had a strange feeling, he felt that this person was the person who suddenly disappeared on a horse in the martial arts arena and appeared on the wall where they had lurked.
As for why he felt this way, Ji Longjun didn't know, it was an intuition.
Ji Longjun pulled Ji Kai very slowly away from the window and retreated to the bedside, and whispered: "Don't talk, take off your clothes, let's pretend to sleep!"
Ji Kai and Ji didn't nod, and each stripped off and went to bed.
"Knock knock!
There was a sound of slamming the door downstairs of the inn, and the samurai had already broken into the Xiushuiyuan inn and raided the guests to check whether there were any suspicious suspects.
"Open the door!" shouted a man outside the door.
Ji Longjun lifted the quilt, hurriedly put on his coat, and hurriedly unlocked the door and opened the door.
Outside was an armored samurai, the man was very young, holding a torch in one hand and a knife in the other, and strode into the room without waiting for Ji Longjun to speak.
"Official, ...... are you?"
"Light all the oil lamps!" the young samurai interrupted Keitaka-kun and shouted majestically.
"Yes yes yes ......"
Ji Longjun fumbled and lit the oil lamp on the table of the Eight Immortals, and with the torch in the samurai's hand, the whole room was as bright as day.
The warrior carefully looked at all corners of the room, and then looked at Ji Kai and Ji Ye, two teenagers who were hurriedly dressed, frowned and asked:
"What are you doing, what are you doing in Qicheng, how long have you been here, why haven't you left?"
Ji Longjun pretended to be very frightened and replied:
"If you go back to the military master, the three of us are hunters in the mountains. Approaching the Chinese New Year, I went to Qicheng to sell some leather, and I was preparing to buy some New Year's goods tomorrow and go home from the city......"
"What's the matter with your hair?" asked the young warrior with fiery eyes, staring at Ji Longjun tightly.
His right hand, which gripped the handle of the knife, tightened.
"Forehead ......" Ji Longjun scratched his head and cried with a sad face: "The villain is a self-...... volume"
"Roll it like this?"
The young warrior seemed to be relieved when he saw Ji Longjun and the three of them, and his right hand holding the handle of the sword slowly relaxed.
"You guys stand aside, I'm going to search the house for any contraband!"
"Yes, yes, Master Jun, please take it. ”
The young warrior cautiously walked past Ji Longjun and the others, looked at the wardrobe and the bottom of the bed, and lifted the bedding of the three of them, but found nothing unusual.
But when he picked up Ji Longjun's pillow, a short sword with a cold light appeared in front of him!
"It's broken!"
Brother Ji Longjun exclaimed in his heart at the same time, and Ji Kai couldn't help but glance at Ji Longjun.
As long as Ji Longjun nodded slightly, he and Ji Bu would immediately be able to knock down the warrior with lightning speed, and not give him a chance to call out to the other warriors outside.
But Ji Longjun stood there motionless, just staring at the young warrior with a pale face.
"What is this?"
The warrior turned to look at Ji Longjun and the others, took a step back and leaned against the wall, faintly with a guarded posture: "Why are you still hiding the murder weapon?"
"Master Jun, we are hunters, this is our hunting knife, which is used to skin and bleed wild beasts. If you don't believe it, you can take a closer look. ”
Ji Longjun had no choice but to answer truthfully, this sentence is indeed not made up.
"Oh?"
The young warrior cautiously picked up his dagger and looked at it.
Although the dagger was sharp, there were some black and unwashable spots of blood precipitated on the hilt, and there seemed to be a few yellow hairs sticking to it under the light of the torch.
The samurai took the dagger to his nose and sniffed it, and the smell of animal flesh and blood came from it.
"Are you really Orion?" the samurai put down the dagger and looked at Keitaka-kun again.
"It's true, Tong Su is not bullied! Jun Ye, look!"
Ji Longjun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the samurai seemed to have a look of letting go of his doubts, and hurriedly took off his coat and exposed a small tiger skin shoulder inside:
"Master Jun, this is our own sewing, a tiger skin! It was not easy to beat a tiger in the mountains. Master Jun, you see that we are really not bad people, we are all honest and good citizens......"
The young warrior seemed to believe Ji Longjun's words, but he looked at the short sword again and said in a deep voice:
"Having said that, it is very suspicious that you are carrying a sharp blade, and I think it is more appropriate to take you back for further torture. ”
Ji Longjun has the heart to cry, since this person has already believed that they are Orion identities, how can he say it?
Besides, Qicheng is so big, there are more swordsmen and prodigals on the streets on weekdays, and almost everyone carries swords and swords. They just hid a small short sword under the pillow, which can also be considered "suspicious"?
Ruthless, Ji Longjun turned his head and glanced at Ji Kai, and said, "My brother, quickly, take out the silver ingot!"
Ji Kai was stunned for a moment, seeing Ji Longjun's urgent eyes staring at him, he had to take out the silver ingot from his inner pocket and hand it to Ji Longjun.
Ji Longjun put on a smiling face, stuffed the silver ingot into the young warrior's hand, and said with a smile:
"Master Jun, you raise your noble hand. Our brothers are really good people, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone in the family is waiting for our brothers to go back for the New Year! This little bit of silver is careful, when you invite the military master to drink tea, the military master also asks a lot of noble hands!"
The samurai didn't expect Ji Longjun to bribe him, and his face was a little strange.
He shook the silver in his hand, which was really not light, and said with a smile:
"Okay, you're good at everything, okay, since they're all good citizens, forget it. There will be martial law in the city in the past two days, you have nothing to do, buy New Year's goods tomorrow and hurry out of the city, don't wander around the city. ”
What else could Ji Longjun say, he could only nod vigorously to express his gratitude.
The young warrior covered the iron sword with a pillow again, paced to the door of the room and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around, looked at Ji Longjun meaningfully and whispered:
"Being a hunter is quite profitable, isn't it?"
Ji Longjun was startled, smiled awkwardly, and the samurai walked away.
After closing the doors and windows, Ji Longjun sat back on the edge of the bed and was silent.
Ji Kai poured a cup of tea and drank it all, and scolded in a low voice: "Dog things! These officials in Qicheng don't have any good things! I worked hard to earn some silver, and in a blink of an eye, my grandmother fed the dogs!"
Ji Longjun smiled: "Okay, Dakai, dissipate your anger, those silver were robbed anyway, and they were taken from the dog and used for the dog, and there was no loss." ”
"Who said that, as long as it goes into my pocket, all this money will be mine! Brother, if you say a word, I have lost twenty taels of bloody silver! The last time I saw twenty taels of silver was when I fought bandits in the back mountain!"
The more Ji Kai said, the more heartbroken he became, and he was already a little heartbroken:
"That time, we didn't catch a penny of the twenty taels of flowers! I was given them all by you! This time I didn't catch a penny of flowers, and you got them all out with a word!"
"My life is miserable! What kind of brother did I meet!" Ji Kai finally concluded.
Ji Longjun rolled his eyes, and suddenly had the urge to kill Ji Kai with his own hands.
"My brother, why are you so dignified and pulling things on me again. If we don't bribe him to let us go? If we really want to be taken to prison by him, it won't be solved by 20 taels of silver! These 20 taels of silver ......
Ji Longjun suddenly closed his mouth and fell into deep thought again.
"What's the matter, brother, do you continue to refute? Is there nothing to say? Hmph, I'll spend the money as soon as I get it next time, don't want me to save money, I won't save a penny!"
"Dakai, stop talking nonsense, get down to business. Do you remember the Tang Erke who was robbed by us? It's the unlucky guy who took a broken whip and was quite embarrassed. Ji Longjun asked solemnly.
"Remember, didn't he rob him of the silver? ”
"If he's not stupid or blind, he'll be able to remember that we're three people, and he'll be able to describe the height and age of the guys, right?"
"Needless to say. ”
"So here's the problem. Ji Longjun looked at Ji Kai and Ji Ye, and said seriously:
"There was such a big incident tonight, the barracks were burned to the ground, and those samurai must have come to arrest people for this matter. But who to catch, they should have no specific goals. ”
"Yes, brother, didn't you say that Uncle Ji of the Demon Mansion, who would definitely be able to escape, that is, an arsonist in Qicheng was not caught, so he patrolled everywhere overnight. ”
"Uncle Ji's martial arts are very high, those warriors can only surround him, and they can't hurt him at all in a short time. After I cut off the flagpole, at least hundreds of people chased after me, and Uncle Ji should seize the opportunity to fight his way out of the encirclement. ”
"Well, brother, but what does this have to do with Tang Erke's unlucky bastard?"
Ji Longjun said patiently:
"You see, my brother, if Tang Erke has been rescued, then he will definitely describe the height and appearance of the three of us. There must have been so many samurai on the streets just now, and there must have been a lot of people on other streets, and the whole Qicheng didn't know how many samurai would be sent to conduct a search! The three of us bribed other samurai here like fools, and if he had received an order in advance that the suspects were three teenagers, then we would have been arrested just now!"
"Speaking of which, brother, if that Tang Er Ke is discovered, doesn't it mean that the three of us together are the most conspicuous targets?"
Ji Kai's face turned pale, he was really a little scared, he didn't want to be the target of all the Qicheng warriors.
"Da Kai, are you still dating Xiaoying tomorrow?" Ji Longjun suddenly changed the subject and asked.
