Chapter 356: The Dispute of the Princes

Li Yunxin stopped and turned his face to look at him: "Do you know what happened to most of those who thought I would die?"

Only then did the peddler stop and wave his hand: "The Dragon King has misunderstood, and the little one doesn't dare to be alarmist." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but the small things to talk about have to be said carefully, from the beginning, not on this street. ”

Then he rolled his eyes and glanced at the side of the street: "Look at the small one...... You can go there and say it - and you can also take shelter from the cold. Don't hide it from the Dragon King, the little one hasn't eaten or drunk for two days and two nights in order to bring this to the Dragon King——"

Li Yunxin glanced at the place where he was looking.

It was a liquor store.

This hilltop is actually similar to the "high-end business district" in Little Rock, and the wine shops in this area are beautiful, but the taste is mediocre. But on such a night, the shop had long been closed - the shopkeeper of the liquor store was not the kind of bitter haha who lived in the store with his family, maybe he had already gone down the mountain and returned to his house to escape the disaster.

So only one guy was left in the store - when Li Yunxin swept over, he found that the guy was lying next to the window and secretly looking down the street.

It seems that it is strange for these two people to stand on the street and talk at this time - one is a handsome boy with a long body and a white dress, and the other is a pawn dealer with a lewd appearance and a clumsy body. These two should not have had anything to do with each other. Seeing Li Yunxin's gaze, he hurriedly retracted from the window, as if he was afraid of causing some trouble.

Li Yunxin turned his head to look at the vendor again and smiled: "You are bold." Let's go. ”

With that, he walked a few steps away to the shop. The guy didn't know what to do in there, and there was a bang.

But Li Yunxin waved his hand, and the door opened. Then I saw a bean-like oil lamp burning on the counter—a man standing at two large tables with bedding on them. Seeing him, his face turned pale and dumbfounded: "Who are you?"

Li Yunxin didn't make a sound, and the vendor had already said casually: "This Taoist master came to the city to get rid of demons and slept all the way, and he didn't go to prepare good wine and food!"

As he spoke, he kicked the door shut and ran to a table by the window. First wiped the table and bench with his sleeves, then pulled out the stool and nodded and asked Li Yunxin to sit down.

Li Yun thought about it and sat down.

The peddler stood in front of him with a smile again, squeezing his eyebrows: "I ate the Dragon King's wine when we first met, who in the world has such a face." It's really a blessing for three lives, and a blessing for three lives. ”

Li Yunxin laughed and snorted casually. After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and broke the corner of the bench beneath him. So he broke off a piece of wood. And with a touch of his hand, it turned into brilliant gold, and he threw it to him casually.

The peddler then turned around and drank at the stunned man: "What are you still stunned about? Will the Taoist master lose your money? Why don't you go and get food and drink?"

So saying, he raised his hand and threw the gold at him.

The man was probably stunned when he saw the gold, and he hurried to get it, only to be smashed on the surface of his foot, and tears broke out in pain—he knew that it was enough.

But he held it in his hand and said blankly: "Uh...... Back to the old man...... There's no heat anymore—"

The peddler sighed in hatred and scolded him: "You stupid goose. Is it the first day of work? There is marinated meat in the back kitchen, steamed and cut. There are dried fruit preserves, picked up on the plate. Then find some seasonal vegetables and finely shred them and blanch them in water, add some spicy sesame oil, salt, sugar, balsamic vinegar, black and white sesame seeds, and put them together into cold dishes. What's the best wine, and it's on it—haven't I taught you any time?"

The guy was dumbfounded. After thinking about it, he said, "Uh...... This, big man, doesn't have dried fruit preserves......"

The peddler stretched out his hand and took out two boxes from the rattan basket resting on the ground, and slapped them on the table in front of him: "I have here - two boxes with a total of four big coins, take the money and go to buy it quickly!"

The guy was robbed by him and made the group turn around. After being stunned for a while, he sleepwalked and took out four large coins from his bosom to give them to the vendor, and timidly carried the two boxes to the back kitchen.

The peddler sighed at this time, turned his head to Li Yunxin with a smile, sat down beside him, and said, "Alas." The dragon king smiled. These newcomers are not sensible. ”

Li Yunxin watched his performance, and the expression on his face softened a lot. So look at him more closely.

It was discovered that he was actually not that old. That weather-beaten face seems to have only been a recent one. The teeth are still snow-white—not a mouthful of black and yellow caries, as many people of this day and age do.

He smiled: "You are familiar with this shop." ”

The peddler smiled and nodded: "Don't hide it from the Dragon King, the little one is originally from Little Rock City—the Dragon King can hear my accent." The villain's surname is 凃, and his single name is ink. I used to work in this shop - from the age of twelve to the age of twenty-two, which is ten years. ”

"Aren't you from Mu Nanju?"

"The small one is just Mu Nanju's 'summoning people', and he is not qualified enough to help in the store. The self-proclaimed Mo peddler seemed to hear Li Yunxin's doubts, and explained, "But even if it is the envoy of Mu Nanju, the Dragon King, we have to eat and drink on weekdays." The little one has no skills, so he can only do this thing of serving people. ”

Li Yunxin was slightly stunned: "Isn't it in your interest to do things for them?"

Yan Mo blinked: "The little one knows what the Dragon King means." However, all kinds of benefits, whether they are gold and silver treasures or gold and jade clothes, don't people like us just attract people's attention when they wear them on their bodies? ”

Li Yunxin frowned and stared at him for a while.

Things seemed to be a little different from what he had thought before—it was the condition of this Mu Nanju.

I thought it was supposed to rely on money and intelligence to build a huge network in various places. Or promise money or power for your own use.

But now looking at this guy's condition — if he's telling the truth — it means...... It seems that there are many, many people like him, hiding all over the world. No...... Actually, it's not hidden-

They are not some "Mu Nanju people", and then pretend to be "pawn peddlers". Instead, the real character is the "pawn peddler", and by the way, he is the "person of Mu Nanju......

Hell yes. In his former world, in his past history, he knew that there was an organization that could do this—that its members did not seek fame or fortune, but only for a common ideal, to become "like-minded" people.

But this Mu Nanju ...... Can it be done like this?

What to rely on?

"The advanced nature of thought"?

He couldn't help but ask, "Why? It's not good, why do you want to do things for Mu Nanju?"

The peddler smiled: "Dragon King, you must know that not all people in this world do things for their own benefit. The little ones do these things not for anything else, but for the sake of the common people in the world. ”

It was ridiculous that came out of his mouth. But when he said this, although he was still humble, his tone and eyes were sincere. It seems that he really believes in the words "for the common people in the world" in his mouth.

Li Yunxin couldn't help laughing: "For the common people in the world?"

The peddler coughed: "Dragon King, the villain does think so. ”

"Ah...... Good. Li Yunxin nodded, "Okay." Let's not talk about this for now. Since you're doing things here, why don't you do them. ”

"For the sake of the Dragon King. Yan Mo smiled, "This has to be explained from the beginning—you dragon king, please—"

As he spoke, the guy brought two plates of braised pork. A plate of marinated pork head meat, thinly sliced and stacked on a white plate.

The skin on top is slightly yellow and transparent. When you pick it up, it trembles slowly, and it is expected to be chewy when you eat it. There is no fat under the skin, just lean meat, and it is fragrant. It was steamed slightly before serving, so that a layer of fat oozed from the meat, which shone slightly in the oil light on the table.

The other plate is braised pork ears, cut into thin strips. The two pieces of meat skin are sandwiched with crispy bones, tough and soft, and they gurgle in the mouth when eaten, and the meat skin turns into a mouthful of meaty aroma.

There are two small plates next to it, one is a dipping sauce made of pepper, peppercorns, black and white sesame seeds, peanuts, and almonds. The other dish is made with the best soy sauce and balsamic vinegar - one plate to enhance the flavor and the other to relieve greasyness.

Li Yunxin only looked at it: "Eat yours." ”

After two more times, he was no longer polite - he looked really hungry - he first sandwiched three slices of braised pork head meat and rolled them in the dipping sauce, opened his mouth and sent them to his mouth to chew. Then I poured myself a cup of tea and sent it down, sandwiched three more slices, and dipped it in balsamic vinegar to eat. After swallowing it like this, he put a pig's ear into his mouth and chewed it with a clattering sound and a sigh: "The Dragon King doesn't know - the villain is so hungry that the five internal organs temple is about to cut off the incense." But the villain broke the incense of the Five Organs Temple, but it was actually for the Dragon King's incense—"

Li Yunxin didn't speak, only listened to him quietly and patiently.

Speaking of which, the guy brought the wine. But he put it down and ran away—Yan Mo looked at him and sighed. Pour a cup for Li Yunxin and pour a glass for himself, and said: "Previously, in Rongcheng, the shopkeeper Wang promised the Dragon King one thing - saying that he would help the Dragon King take Weishui. ”

"We naturally did this. He took a sip of wine, his tone changing slightly, "The Dragon King must be impatient to hear what we do. Just know that at present, there are dragon kings and temples in every town and town that Weishui passes through - the temple invited famous painters from all over the world to paint a statue of a kiss, open a little spiritual light, and seal it in a statue of a clay tire. As long as the light is turned on again, the incense and wish power of the believers along the way of Weishui can be continuously gathered on the dragon king. ”

"The little one was still working in this shop last month. Then he was assigned to go to the section of the Weishui River that flows through the country of Ye, which is more than a hundred miles away from Little Rock, to raise funds for the temple of the Dragon King. He smiled and sighed, "It's hard to say this kind of thing, so the little one doesn't say goodbye." About the shopkeeper waited for me for a few days, but he couldn't see me, so he got annoyed and found this goose. ”

Li Yunxin said "oh": "Then you lost your job for my sake." ”

Yan Mo hurriedly said: "I don't dare to say that. The affairs of the dragon king are the affairs of the people in the world. It's just that...... The small one went to build the Dragon King Temple in the territory of the country, and he also knew the news of the Dragon King these days. At the same time...... Another news was also known. Because of this, the villain had the courage to say those words of life and death to the dragon king just now. ”

Li Yunxin nodded slightly thoughtfully: "You speak." ”

Yan Mo looked at the wine glass in front of Li Yunxin: "Dragon King...... Can't you get used to it?"

Li Yunxin glanced at the stool he was sitting on and the missing corner: "I don't want to drink." ”

“...... Yes. Yan Mo also looked at the corner and laughed, "That's right." The Dragon King should know—how your eight brothers will react when they learn that you have been hunted down and nearly killed. ”

"—will wait and see for a while. If you think you still have the possibility of making a comeback, you may not fall into the trap. But if you feel like you're out of hope...... They'll love you to die at their hands. ”

Li Yunxin was silent for a while: "In this way, you also know that the dragons want to merge the nine points of dragon qi into one. ”

"The villain not only knows this, but also knows that after learning the news that the Dragon King was seriously injured and Dongting Jun was dead—under the pretext of the True Dragon's war against the Xuanmen, your eight elder brothers and many big demons have come to Yeguo and Little Rock City. Right now, this karmic country is almost surrounded by Xuanmen and demons. The dragon king has now appeared in Little Rock City, although he can hide it for a while, but he can't last long. ”

He leaned closer to Li Yunxin and lowered his voice: "The Dao Tong Sword Sect Demon Freemasonry is looking for the Dragon King intentionally or unintentionally. If the Dragon King ignores me tonight, it will take a few more months to slowly recover his realm and divine power...... Isn't it like death?"

With that, the dumbfounded fellow served the food again. A plate of dried fruits, a plate of candied fruit - it was sold to him by Inkmo. There is also a dish of seasonal vegetables that you have prepared yourself. As he said, he cut it into silk and scalded it with water, making it even more green. But this guy is stupid, but his craftsmanship seems to be good—he is angry, but he is not wilted. As Yan Mo said, add all kinds of condiments and mix, and a crisp plate on the table, which is very greasy.

Then he stood at the table and rubbed his hands timidly: "Dao, Daoye...... What more?"

Yan Mo waved his hand: "Busy with your going, go farther." ”

The guy ran away.

Li Yunxin watched him drink and eat meat, and thought for a while: "Then I came with you tonight, what is the turnaround?"

"Naturally, it opened the spiritual light of the temples along the Weishui for the Dragon King - let the incense and wish power of those believers gather into the body of the Dragon King and restore the divine power as soon as possible!"

"Hmm. ”

This seems like good news – very good news. But Li Yunxin only hummed like this, rested his hand on the table, and slowly tapped the table with his index finger.

He was so silent and watched Yan Mo eat and drink, but Yan Mo was also able to let go. After eating and drinking non-stop for a quarter of an hour, the wine and food on the table were swept away by him. Then he burped, poured two cups of cold tea, and calmed down.

The good deed that Yan Mo sent to his door can be described as a charcoal in the snow.

But it was precisely because it came too late that Li Yunxin hesitated. This means that the other party has been keeping an eye on their whereabouts and is well aware of them. This made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know if this kind of "uncomfortable" was normal......

After thinking about it for another quarter of an hour, Yan Mo smiled: "Dragon King, villain...... The owner of Mu Nanju asked the villain to bring a few words to the Dragon King. ”

Li Yunxin then turned his gaze to look at him: "I said it at this time." ”

Yan Mo smiled: "The master of Mu Nanju said that if the Dragon King agreed, there would be no need to say these words. But I'm afraid that the dragon king will hesitate - if the dragon king hesitates for a quarter of an hour and doesn't get up to leave, then the villain will talk about it. ”

Li Yunxin put his hands on his lap and took a gentle breath. He closed his eyes slightly and said, "You speak." ”

"My master said—" Yan Mo's face turned solemn, and he coughed lightly—

"At this time, you are naturally thinking that your whereabouts and actions are in our hands, and you feel that you are restricted and constrained, so you are a little unhappy. ”

"You'll also think that the timing of our gift is too coincidental, so you think we're giving both a gift and a demonstration. However, Li Yunxin, you are a smart person, and you should also know that there is nothing in this world that does not need to be paid. The discomfort you feel at this moment is the price you have to pay for receiving this great gift from us. ”

"You should know......" Yan Mo seemed to imitate the words of the master of Mu Nanju. Therefore, even the end of the word "ya" is simulated, "What you did in Weicheng and Dongting in the past was just a fight with one person and one faction." It's a battle of warriors - you can handle it alone. ”

"But right now, you're fighting with the Dao Sect, the Sword Sect, the Demons, and the Freemasons. This is a battle between the princes - you should know that you can't handle it alone. The fact that you are here and listening to him relay what I have to say means that you have fallen into a bad situation. At such a time, only by cooperating with us and getting our support can you have the capital to join this battle of princes. ”

"Otherwise...... No matter how amazing your skills are, you can only become cannon fodder in this battle. ”

When he said these words, he sat upright, and his waist was very straight. When he finished saying these words, his body stiffened again, and the smile returned to his face: "Dragon King, the original words of my master are these. ”

Li Yunxin sat upright, thought about it, suddenly smiled, and asked casually, "Is your master beautiful?"

The smile that had been hanging on his face finally disappeared briefly at this moment. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed again: "Ah...... This, haha, dragon king, where does the villain dare to beak at the appearance of the master......"

"I heard it's beautiful?"

This time, he was hesitant, and he really didn't know what to do.

Li Yunxin stood up and shook his head: "I heard that your master is beautiful, and I yearn for it." I have always wanted to meet with beautiful women, and I can also talk about the moon before the flowers, and the clouds and rain in Wushan. But these words, which she felt important, refused to come and say them herself—of course I am not addressing you—and yet it is indeed a contempt for me to ask you to pass them on. ”

He thought about it again with his hands behind his back, and smiled: "The dispute between the princes and the princes...... What a battle of lieges. ”

Then he restrained his smile and looked at Yan Mo: "I promise not to go against you, and ask you to take Weishui as a reward - you have done this, and we will both clear it." ”

"Now you have done a little more—but I cannot be in vain. The feeling of being indebted is a terrible thing for me. So this time...... Thank you for me, master. She said that I would become cannon fodder in this battle of princes, so ......"

Li Yunxin took a deep breath: "This battle between the princes, I will try it myself." If there is an imperial struggle in the future, if she is willing to come and see me in person, and really see me as an equal ally or adversary, then talk about it. ”

After saying this, Li Yunxin glanced at the corner of the bench that he had broken and made gold to pay the bill, and turned around and walked out the door.

Yan Mo stopped smiling. After being stunned for a while, he hurriedly said: "Dragon King, such a good thing, does the Dragon King really want it?!"

"I have always stayed away from the good things that are delivered to the door. Li Yunxin pushed open the door - the autumn breeze outside the door poured in with coolness and fallen leaves.

Seeing that he was really leaving, Yan Mo hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait for a moment

Then he turned around and beckoned to the guy urgently: "Come here!"

The guy kept cowering in the corner, looking at the gold in his hand and playing with it. At this time, when he saw Yan Mo seeing him, he hurriedly ran over: "Uncle, what else do you have to order?"

"Stand here and don't move. He straightened up and commanded. At the same time strode up to him and raised his hand—his right hand on his forehead, his left hand on his chin. The man was about to ask what was going on, when he fell limply as soon as his arm was forced—there was a crunch, and he fell limply.

Then the ink rushed into the back kitchen like a gust of wind and ran out again, throwing the two empty boxes in his hands into his rattan basket. Then he reached out and took out four big coins from his arms and threw them on the body of the guy, then he lifted the basket and raised his head to look at Li Yunxin: "The Dragon King thinks about this matter again - my master really didn't mean to deliberately slight the Dragon King-"

Li Yunxin looked at him silently, and then at the corpse of the guy on the ground.

Yan Mo also glanced at his gaze, and said casually: "Tonight's situation is special, he must have us in mind." Tomorrow, as soon as I talk to the shopkeeper, we will know that it is me, and we will attract attention. But the Dragon King, please think twice—the Dragon King cooperates with us, not only for the Dragon King himself, but also for the well-being of the common people in the world-"

But Li Yunxin stared at the corpse of the guy on the ground for a long time, and suddenly chuckled.

He didn't know why he was laughing.

But Li Yunxin shook his head while laughing, and strode out of the wine store and onto the street.

Yan Mo hurriedly chased out, but although Li Yunxin looked like he was walking unhurriedly, his speed was extremely fast. After only two or three breaths, it disappeared at the end of the street.

For fear of alarming the people on the street, Yan Mo did not dare to shout loudly. I could only run a few steps silently and finally gave up.

The night breeze whimpered on the long street, and he heard Li Yunxin muttering something in the wind. He didn't hear it very clearly, but he felt that maybe it should be a headless sentence -

"Huh...... It's really black. ”
