Chapter 12: The Head Bounty

Bidding farewell to the three of them, Da Yuan walked alone for a while, the depression in his heart gradually dissipated, and remembered that Hua Ling was still waiting for his news at the inn, so he quickly returned to the inn.

Hua Ling was already waiting at the inn and was anxious, and as soon as they met, she smiled and said, "Da Yuan, congratulations." ”

Da Yu shook his head and said, "I didn't join the Di Alliance, and I don't want to join again in the future." ”

Hua Ling hurriedly asked what happened, but Da Yuan only talked about the harm of joining the Di League, and did not mention how he got out. The two were silent for a moment, and Hua Ling suddenly said, "Da Yuan, if you don't need it, sell me the Easy Order." ”

Da Yuan frowned and said, "Don't you understand what I said just now?"

Hua Ling shook her head and said: "Our cultivation is all for the purpose of one day to reach the realm of not falling into reincarnation and immortality, but how many people can cultivate to that realm, and of course it is the fastest to complete the earth decree of the heavenly court without stopping, but you know how many Taoist friends were killed by goblins when they destroyed demons." Joining the Truth Alliance is also the most secure and fastest way to practice. ”

Seeing that Da Yuan hesitated, Hua Ling stretched out her arms to hug Da Yuan, pretending to be coquettish, raising her head and pouting and begging: "Da Yuan, my body has been given to you, don't you have the slightest affection for me?"

Da Yu sighed helplessly, put the free order in Hua Ling's hand, and said, "I'll give this to you, and we should get along with each other." ”

Hua Ling accepted the free order, smiled and kissed the big coat. She thought for a while, took out her broken Qinghong sword, and said, "I can't use this sword for the time being, give it to you, and you can spend some money to find someone to repair it yourself." ”

Da Yu took the Qinghong sword, knowing that this sword is a good thing, even if it is broken, it is worth seven or eight hundred taels of gold, and Hua Ling gave it to himself, probably to compensate for the loss of his own free order, which is said to be sold for thousands of taels of gold.

The two exchanged things and were silent for a while, and finally Hua Ling smiled lightly: "I'm leaving." ”

Da Yuan knows that she is going to join the Di Alliance, and in the future, the road will go to the sky, and I am afraid it will be extremely difficult to be together. Hua Ling had already walked to the door, and suddenly turned around and asked with a smile: "Da Yuan, I followed you all the way, just to exterminate the demon talisman, do you think I am shameless and cheap?"

Da Yuan said casually: "No." ”

Hua Ling's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she said: "I know that you have always looked down on me, you just enjoy my body, do you know, in fact, I like you very much, I like to be with you." ”

Da Yuan was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Hua Ling again, he was already in tears, and Da Yuan's heart was sour, and he walked over a few steps to hold Hua Ling in his arms. Da Yuan held up Hua Ling's face, and suddenly felt a little heartache. Hua Ling grabbed Da Yuan's hand, and suddenly smiled again, she wiped her tears, and said, "Take care." ”

As she spoke, Hua Ling shook off her coat and pushed the door to leave.

After a while, Da Yuan calmed down slightly. Da Yuan left the guest room, went down to the first floor of the inn, found a corner, and drank alone. He poured himself a drink, and a few glasses of osmanthus wine went down to his stomach, and he couldn't help but be dazzled, and he was a little drunk.

This inn is called Chang'an Inn, and all those who pass by Chang'an also rest here. Da Yuan leaned on the wooden chair, and saw that people were coming in and out of the inn from time to time, but he didn't care.

I don't know when, someone entered the inn and pointed in the direction of Da Yuan, and a person walked over quickly, leaned over beside Da Yuan and whispered: "Da Yuan Daoyou, Da Yuan." ”

Another said: "He seems to be drunk." ”

In the haze, I saw that there seemed to be a red hairpin next to him, and the other person was Qing Xi. Da Yuan was helped up to the tea shop on the second floor, drank a few cups of tea, and gradually sobered up. Qing Xi asked, "Hey, why didn't that beautiful woman of yours leave you alone and drink by yourself here." ”

Da Yuan only shook his head and said nothing. Qing Xi said to Hongchai dissatisfiedly: "Sister, you see that this guy still ignores people, and we rushed back to deliver a letter to him in a hurry." ”

Da Yuan looked up at the three of them, and saw that the three of them had serious faces, obviously something was wrong.

Hongchai said with a concerned face: "Daoist friend, are you better?"

Da Yuan nodded.

Hongchai Zhengse said: "The news we got on the road is that Sanhuatang has just issued a reward order of five hundred taels of gold, and is offering a reward for your head. ”

Da Yuan was startled and immediately came to his senses. Sanhuatang has also heard of it, it is a notorious gang, and many personal enmities that cultivators cannot solve by themselves are issued bounties through Sanhuatang. Da Yu knows that he has always been a loner and has never had a grudge against anyone, I am afraid that this matter can only be done by the people of the Di Alliance, and it is very likely that it was done by the ice slag alone.

Since there is a bounty, I am afraid that someone has already received the bounty, and someone will find him soon, and most of the Sanhuatang will send his own killer to come first, the enemy does not know who it is, he is in the light, maybe he will be killed by a blow as soon as he walks out of the inn, and then the killer calmly disappears in the flow of people.

Seeing that Da Yuan's face changed color, Hongchai said softly: "Da Yuan Daoyou, you should be careful, but don't take it too seriously, as long as you stay in the inn these days, it will be fine, wait a few days to find out." ”

Da Yuan knew that what Hongchai said was right, Chang'an Inn is a place where cultivators from all over the world gather, and there are often high-ranking people, which can be said to be the safest place in the world, and there have been unwritten rules for many years, and no one is allowed to make trouble and kill people in Chang'an Inn.

Da Yu had to stay in the inn, and after a few days, he had nothing to do, and his heart was extremely upset. What made Da Yuan a little upset was that the three of them also accompanied the inn in order to help Da Yuan deal with the assassination. A few days later, when Da Yuan walked into the teahouse on the second floor, he found that Hongchai and Qingping were talking, although they couldn't hear what the two said, and their expressions seemed to be arguing. Seeing Da Yuan coming over, the two of them shut up, Qingping was slightly unhappy, hugged his fists to Da Yuan and left.

Da Yuan sat down opposite the red hairpin and suddenly asked, "Does Qingping Daoyou want to leave?"

Hongchai was stunned for a moment and said, "No." ”

Seeing that the red hairpin pretended to turn her head to look away, Da Yu secretly smiled bitterly, this woman is not good at covering up and lying, everything is written on her face, Da Yu said casually: "I actually heard it." ”

Hongchai hurriedly said in a little panic: "He wants to do the land order, but I won't go, don't worry, I'll stay here with you." ”

Before the woman in front of her finished speaking, her face turned red, and the blind could see that she had confessed to Da Yuan, maybe she didn't know it. Just now, Hua Ling has made Da Yuan quite sad, and at this time, he doesn't want to have a private relationship between men and women. Da Yuan's heart drifted, and he sighed casually: "Why do you want to accompany me? ”

Hongchai's face turned even redder at this question, and she hurriedly defended: "You helped us deal with the wild boar essence that day, as well as the black civet spirit in front, if you hadn't saved me, I would have died a long time ago." Now that you are in danger, if I don't help you, you don't have a conscience. ”

Da Yuan smiled, he didn't blame Qingping, he had been with him for several days, and no matter how good a friend was, he wouldn't gamble his life for others. Da Yu smiled and said: "If you don't accompany me, I may die, if you accompany me, I may die one more, it's not cost-effective." ”

Hongchai Zhengse said: "Where the Tao is, it is incumbent on you." Even if I die, I will die with you. ”

In fact, after saying this, Hongchai also found that he was a little sick with his words, and laughed loudly. He also said: "One person is short-witted, and two are long-witted." Together, we don't necessarily can't deal with those killers. ”

Knowing that the red hairpin was just cheering himself up, Da Yuan smiled, and his mood couldn't help but feel very comfortable, and said with a smile: "Okay, I have made you a friend." ”

Hongchai also said: "Okay, when we deal with the person who assassinated you, let's go and destroy the demon together." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the red hairpin stretched out his white palm and struck lightly with the big coat. Da Yuan turned his head to look out the window, the sun was setting outside, and the sky and the earth were shining. Da Yuan's heart perked up, and he began to think about how to deal with the bounty of Sanhuatang. The two were speechless for a while, Da Yuan lowered his head in contemplation, while Hongchai held his chin, tilted his head and looked at Da Yuan blankly, with a quiet smile on the corner of his mouth.

In this way, two days later, Hongchai met a friend, the man's name was Sanzhi, his face was pale, his expression was cold, he stared at two big eyes, and everyone looked sneaky. Those three branches don't care about people, but they can squeeze out a little smile on their faces in front of the red hairpin, and they don't leave an inch around the red hairpin. The two of them muttered and had been discussing the matter of the reward being offered. Da Yuan listened on the side, and at a glance he could see that Sanzhi liked the red hairpin very much, spoke stupidly and stupidly, and was bent on pleasing the red hairpin.

After thinking hard for a few days, there was still no way, and gradually became a little depressed, often staring out the window in a daze. This day, when Da Yuan was walking around on the second floor, he inadvertently saw the red hairpin whispering in a corner with an old man, the old man smiled, reached out to hook the red hairpin's chin, and the red hairpin tilted his head to hide, as if begging for something.

An old man walked by, looked in his eyes, and whispered to Da Yuan: "Boy, take a good look at your woman." The man's name was Old Smoking Gun, but he was a famous silver stick. ”

He arched his hand as a token of gratitude. He hid aside, and saw that the red hairpin and the old smoker chatted a few more words, the old smoker looked fearless, and the red hairpin whispered. In the end, the two didn't seem to talk and broke up unhappily. The red hairpin walked back absentmindedly, not noticing the big coat at all.

Dodging the red hairpin, Da Yuan caught up with the old smoking gun, and said, "Fellow Daoist, you seem to have a plot against that woman just now." ”

Hearing Da Yuan's questioning, the old cigarette gun glanced at Da Yuan coldly, and said, "Who are you? That's none of your business." ”

Da Yu frowned and said, "She's my friend, why it's none of my business." ”

"Friend?" the old smoker groaned, but then seemed to understand, and said mockingly, "I see, you are the kid who has been rewarded recently, and your woman is good to you." ”

Da Yuan: "What did you say?"

The old smoker looked mocking, walked up to Da Yuan's side and sneered in a low voice: "Boy, I don't need to talk to you, but I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you." She begged me to help her get rid of the killer's pursuit, and I asked her to let me sleep for a few days. ”

Seeing that Da Yuan's face changed color, the smile on the old cigarette gun's face became stronger, and he shook his head and said, "Your woman is in good shape, brother, hehe." ”

The old cigarette whistled and walked past the big coat, and the big coat's face was gray for a while, and he was stunned for a while, and when he returned to the red hairpin, his face was already pale. Hongchai noticed that Da Yuan's expression was wrong, and then looked at the old cigarette gun from another table with a smile, and Hongchai immediately lowered his head.

Da Yuan thought about it and said with a wry smile: "I haven't reached the point where I let a woman accompany me." ”

Hongchai's face turned pale when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong." ”

Da Yuan sighed, he didn't say anything after all, and went back to the room alone with a gloomy face. Hongchai sat alone for a while, frowning and pondering for a long time, and finally left the teahouse on the second floor and went to the guest room. She stood for a moment at the doorway, knocking several times, and finally withdrew her hand.

Sanzhi came over at some point and asked a little sourly, "Is it the room of the Great Daoyou?"

Sanzhi said again: "Da Daoyou is right, that old smoking gun is not a thing, and I Sanzhi will not agree." ”

Hongchai said gloomily: "The old smoking gun will set up a gossip [***] array, as long as we can set up this array, we can help Da Yu leave Chang'an safely." ”

When Sanzhi heard this, he was a little uneasy, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Hongchai, sooner or later, I will be able to practice the amazing Dao method, and I will be able to help you no matter what happens at that time." ”

Sanzhi's words seemed to have plucked up a lot of courage to say it, and his forehead was already tense and sweating. Sanzhi resignedly said: "Hongchai, I'm going to leave Chang'an for a while, and I can't meet you, but I'll come back to you soon." ”

He Sanzhi was actually confessing, but Hongchai was thinking about something, and only asked vaguely: "Are you going back there again?"

The door of the guest room opened, and Da Yuan let the two into the room, and he had already heard the conversation between the two inside, and then suddenly made up his mind, and said, "I will leave the inn in a few days, and you can go too." ”

Hongchai asked, "How did you leave the inn?"

Da Yuan nodded and said, "I have thought of a way to deal with those killers." ”

Hongchai hurriedly said: "No, Da Yuan, you don't really have any good way, right? You can't take risks." ”

Da Yu frowned and said: "The killers sent by Sanhuatang will not be very powerful, and it is not a way for me to be scared to nest in the inn, I have already decided." ”

Hongchai hurriedly said: "No, do you know that the killers of Sanhuatang rarely miss, and the bounty for you has been increased to two thousand gold. ”

Da Yu listened and smiled bitterly, this is something he didn't expect, if his bounty is increased to two thousand, there will definitely be more people who will shoot for money. Da Yu shook his head, with a resolute look on his face, and said: "You guys go, I want to rest for a few days, and those who want my life, I will also make them regret it." ”

The red hairpin persuaded a few more words, the big hairpin always shook his head slightly, the red hairpin looked at the big coat with his hands behind his back and looked out the window, his eyes showed tenderness, and finally the red hairpin's face turned decisive and turned his head away.
