Take the sword out of Yanjing
Work related
foggy water.
One of them made an "ah" sound, the sound stopped abruptly, and the man fell down again, motionless.
Li Meng didn't even see clearly how Zhao Luoyi shot, maybe the bong pierced the opponent's forehead.
After inspecting the twelve corpses, Zhao Luoyi said, "Come out."
Li Meng walked out, and after two steps, he turned back to get the bundle, and tied Zhao Luoyi's bundle tightly to his body, only then did Li Meng realize that he was in a cold sweat.
Zhao Luoyi glanced up and down at Li Meng's attire, and beckoned him to go over.
Li Meng took a step back.
Zhao Luoyi pressed her lips against the cigarette holder, took a puff of the pipe, and looked at Li Meng, "Afraid?"
In fact, Li Meng subconsciously kept a distance from Zhao Luoyi, and didn't think much about it. Zhao Luoyi was covered in blood, and the smell made it difficult for Li Meng to adapt for a while.
Finally Li Meng walked up to Zhao Luoyi and knocked out the bong. Zhao Luoyi pinned the pipe to his belt. He supported Li Meng's waist with both hands and untied Li Meng's belt.
"..." Li Meng didn't dare to move, as the belt loosened, his pants seemed to slip down.
"Carry it by yourself."
Li Meng grabbed his pants nervously as if he had been pardoned.
"Come up." With drooping eyelids, Zhao Luoyi tidied up Li Meng's robe so that it was wrapped around his waist. His face was taut. Although there were no wrinkles, Li Meng felt that there was something daunting about him. Don't understand what that is.
Tie up Li Meng's belt, seeing that he was still in a daze, Zhao Luoyi raised his hand as if to pat his head, but Li Meng stared at him warily, Zhao Luoyi withdrew his hand.
"Qinggong, can you still make it move?" Zhao Luoyi asked.
"Okay." Li Meng said so, but it didn't make any sense at all. His hands and feet are weak now.Li Meng raised the sleeve of his robe, wiped Zhao Luoyi's face clean, and frowned, "Let's go now?"
Zhao Luoyi was really surprised. Li Meng was obviously frightened by his killing posture, but he didn't ask those people where they came from or where they went.
Zhao Luoyi was a little relieved and felt that Li Meng was wary of him, and it was very unpleasant to turn around.
A horse neighs from a distance——
Zhao Luoyi blocked Li Mengchao's back and reached for the bong at his waist.
There is a second wave of human attacks?Why don't you get close without anyone noticing, and listen to more than one horse.Li Meng thought confusedly, when he left here, he had to find out the origins of those people just now, and it would be best if he could find out the whole story. Zhao Luoyi's body smelled of blood.Li Meng unconsciously moved back half a step.
"Fourth brother!" Huo Lianyun's voice came out of nowhere.
Zhao Luoyi still didn't leave the pipe.
"It's Second Martial Uncle." Li Meng tugged at the corner of his robe.
Zhao Luoyi ignored him, took two steps forward, and the sound of horse hooves approached. Huo Lianyun was dressed in a white robe of plain brocade, and the horse he was riding was all white without a trace of hair, so it was very eye-catching even in the dark.
"What? Do you want to leave without saying goodbye?" Huo Lianyun dismounted, put his fingers on his lips, and whistled loudly.
With the sound of horseshoes, two empty horses came out of the woods, and one of them rubbed against the white horse.
"It belongs to both of you." Huo Lianyun stepped forward and said cautiously: "The man we killed in Manfang Pavilion the day before yesterday was He Ruiting, who was Cai Rong's confidant. Ann, I came to Lingzhou after crossing Huangshasha Beach, and the purpose is to return to Zhongan, looking for someone and sending things."
"What?" Zhao Luoyi absently touched the side of his neck, there was some blood splashed there, but he didn't know that the blood stains left on Xiao Changchu's hands when he picked it up with his bare hands were wiped on his neck.
"You don't know what it is?" Huo Lianyun said.
"You suspect that I took that thing." Zhao Luoyi said.
Huo Lianyun was noncommittal, staring at Li Meng.
Zhao Luoyi opened her arms, turned to Li Meng and said, "Let your second uncle touch it."
"..." Li Meng could barely breathe when Huo Lianyun approached him. He could smell the nice incense on Huo Lianyun's body. This kind of fragrance is not uncommon, but it is commonly used by rich households. He hadn't smelled it for two years. Heart swaying.
After Huo Lianyun searched both master and apprentice, he untied Zhao Luoyi's burden, two swords, one long and one short, a jade pendant, an old candy paper... two pancakes as dry as stone...
With a money bag dangling in front of his eyes, Huo Lianyun couldn't laugh or cry, "No need..."
There was a clatter of tinkling, and copper coins and broken silver fell on the cloth. Huo Lianyun took out four crumpled silver bills from the purse, ranging from 100 taels to 500 taels.
Li Meng suddenly realized that Zhao Luoyi was not as poor as he looked, he was a secretly rich man.
After the search, Huo Lianyun didn't search carefully anymore, but just wanted to check it out. Lord Hou squatted down, packed Zhao Luoyi's things, put them neatly on Li Meng's back, and tied the purse directly to Zhao Luoyi's body.
At that moment Li Meng couldn't hear what Huo Lianyun said.
Seeing that Huo Lianyun and Zhao Luoyi were very close by the way they spoke, Li Meng didn't know what to look at, so he turned his face away and led the horse.
Huo Lianyun's gaze followed Li Meng's back, put one hand on Zhao Luoyi's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "There are spies in Shifanglou, someone betrayed the executor of this mission."
The executors are Huo Lianyun and Zhao Luoyi.
☆, question
The three of them drove all night, all the way south, via Huai'an, crossed Jiangyin, crossed the Sui River, and arrived at the foot of Anshan Mountain.
In half a month after leaving Lingzhou, he was intercepted five times.
There is a medium-sized city at the foot of Anshan. Li Meng has never been so far away from Zhong'an. The farthest was living in Ruizhou with his family when he was a child. After leaving Zhong'an, he was taken to Ruizhou by Zhao Luoyi.Along the way, everything he saw was getting newer day by day, and Li Meng also noticed that there had been no snow in the past half month, and the weather was getting warmer and warmer.
Although it is similar to people who practice martial arts, none of the passers-by who walked in front of them wore thick fur collars.
"Yongyin." Li Meng looked at the words on the city wall, recognized them all, and read them out.
Passing by the city, all the generals looked lazy, stopping people to check when they remembered, and playing cards around a small table next to the city gate the rest of the time.
Finding an inn first, Huo Lianyun asked for directions to the largest inn in the city.
"Come out with me, how can I let you pay?" Huo Lianyun pressed Zhao Luoyi's hand back to take out the money bag.
Zhao Luoyi looked around casually, and saw Li Meng carrying the bamboo hat he bought for him on the road. Li Meng was not very tall, but he was the chairman, standing at the door, and he had grown old for a long time.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Luoyi walked up, wanting to kick him, but felt that Li Meng couldn't stand his kick, so he patted his head instead.But it made Li Meng tremble with fright.Zhao Luoyi frowned slightly displeased.
"It's nothing." Li Meng walked to the cabinet unhappily, and heard the shopkeeper's promise: "Okay, two upper rooms, the guest officer will wait a moment, I will find someone to lead you up. Do you have any horses?"
Huo Lianyun followed the waiter to tie the horse, did not call Li Meng, Li Meng was waiting in front of the counter, boredly saw that Zhao Luoyi didn't come in, just got up to look, and walked to the door.
Zhao Luoyi was standing at the opposite stall to buy things, his tall body stood there expressionless, so horrified that passers-by would make a detour.
"..." Li Meng covered his face shamelessly and returned to the front of the counter.
Zhao Luoyi was holding an oiled paper bag in his arms, and he didn't greet Li Meng when he came in. When Huo Lianyun came in, they all went upstairs.
Even the inns in the south are different. The windows facing the south are next to the water, and there is actually a river underneath, and a beautiful boat just passes by on the river.The maidservant in the red skirt at the bow of the boat looked up and saw Li Meng, and said something loudly in a soft and pleasant voice, Li Meng couldn't help staring blankly.
"Look again, if the girl asks you to watch it again, you will have to throw money down."
Li Meng turned around after hearing the sound, Zhao Luoyi took out a piece of silver from his purse, "Go downstairs, go out through the small door at the back, there is a stone ladder down to the river, this is enough for you to take a look when you get on the boat."
"What's on board?"
Li Meng was curious, and Zhao Luoyi realized that Li Meng's eyes were not born narrow and long, maybe the first day he saw him, he hadn't slept well for several days, so he squinted them.Li Meng's eyes are small, but they look wet, reminding Zhao Luoyi of the first time he killed someone and was seriously injured. He lay down on the corner of the street for a month, and every day a man came out and put two big buns on a plate. Beside the sack where he slept, the bones and scraps he fed to the stray dogs lay together.
The black dog jumped on his stomach when he was full.
Zhao Luoyi didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when the black dog looked at it a few more times, he always felt that those eyes meant inviting him to touch it.
"It's nothing, woman." Zhao Luoyi spread out the oiled paper bag, exuding an extremely complex smell.
Li Meng licked his lips.
"..." There were quite a few small packets inside, and Zhao Luoyi spread them out one by one, and took out a piece to eat, "Go, don't just look around here."
The money was in Li Meng's hand, he looked at it, and handed the money to Zhao Luoyi: "I won't go downstairs, I'll trade it for what you bought."
Zhao Luoyi had a strange feeling in his heart, a little excited, put away the money with a blank expression, "It's worthless." He put the money back into the purse, and stayed in the room with Li Meng to eat what he just watched from Li Mengbabaer The food bought at the roasted seeds and nuts stall.
Li Meng likes snail meat and herring the most, and they are delicious with spicy dishes, but some are burnt by the heat, and his eyes are moist.
Zhao Luoyi handed him a wine bottle.
Li Meng drank it straight away, "It's a bit sweet."
"Plum blossom wine, you can't buy good ones, just drink some to relieve the spicy."
Li Meng said "um" with a nasal sound, and took another sip of wine, Zhao Luoyi also drank a bottle with him, but Li Meng only drank five or six sips, Zhao Luoyi said: "You are young, don't drink too much." Afterwards, he drank the wine by himself Dry.
"..." After eating, Li Meng squatted on the chair and fed hawthorn slices into his mouth.
Zhao Luoyi wiped his bong beside him.
"Ah!" Li Meng suddenly called out.
Zhao Luoyi turned to look at him indifferently.
Li Meng was about to cry, and was afraid that Zhao Luoyi would get angry and kill him. When Zhao Luoyi asked him, he just said it was nothing.
The room was silent, and Zhao Luoyi was cold-tempered. He asked Li Meng with his eyes just now, but Li Meng didn't answer, so he didn't ask.
After a while, Li Meng, who was so entangled that he went crazy, sat next to Zhao Luoyi. He was wary that Zhao Luoyi would beat him, so he said cautiously across the table, "Master."
Zhao Luoyi glanced at him, then lowered his head to wipe the cigarette rod.
"I didn't take the sword."
"What did I say?"
"Weapons are life." Li Meng replied with red eyes and gritted his teeth.
"I remember very clearly what to do, are you clear?" Zhao Luoyi said coldly, took out a sword from the bag, and slapped it on the table with a "snap". Sheath, looked at Li Meng coldly.
Li Meng's eyes were foggy.
Zhao Luoyi squinted, her breathing was a little short at that moment, and she raised an eyebrow impatiently, "If you don't know, just ask."
Li Meng panted heavily, teardrops rolled down, the corners of his lips pulled down, and he looked like a doormat.
"..." Zhao Luoyi said annoyedly, "Come on, hurry up!"
The raised tone made the corners of Li Meng's mouth twitch, and he began to cry, "I haven't lived enough, I don't want to die yet! Uncle Zhao, please let me go! In the next life, I will be your cow!"
The grievance since leaving Zhong'an was all at the moment when Zhao Luoyi opened the scabbard and showed the sharp blade to Li Meng, forcing out all the fear of the young man.
Zhao Luoyi killed people without blinking an eye, he let him do it himself, but Li Meng didn't want to die yet, he didn't avenge his family yet.
Thinking that Zhao Luoyi had only killed twelve people, Huo Lianyun was on guard all the way. Zhao Luoyi bought so much delicious food just now, probably because of the rules of the world - eat enough to go on the road.
Immediately forced Li Meng to burst into tears.
Li Meng felt ashamed, but couldn't stop his tears, suppressed his crying, and sobbed.
"This sword was given to me by the first drinking buddy when I went down the mountain. He is a blacksmith, and the sword is not bad. This sword has a well-deserved name." He raised his eyebrows again, and said with a sneer: "Being an ox or a horse?"
Li Meng's face was flushed with embarrassment, tears were still hanging on his cheeks, he stretched out his hand to carefully hold the scabbard, "Give it to me?"
"Don't just wait until you go back to Ruizhou, I'll find a way." Zhao Luoyi thought that Li Meng didn't like it. Young people like fancy things. This sword looks plain, and it's really not as good-looking as the one he left behind.
"Yes! I want this one!" Li Meng happily drew out his sword, the sword was fierce and powerful, Li Meng thought it was better than the previous one, after all, it was Zhao Luoyi who carried it with him.
"Use it while you have it." Zhao Luoyi said indifferently, the bong was thoroughly polished, and he wrapped it in a cloth.
Li Meng looked at him strangely.
"Master, I have a question." Zhao Luoyi's act of presenting the sword made Li Meng feel that he was his master, so he boldly chatted with Zhao Luoyi.
"Just say something, I don't like nonsense." Zhao Luoyi made the bed and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"How did you get your bong?" People who use knives and swords are not uncommon, but Zhao Luoyi used a nondescript bong, which fully attracted Li Meng's attention.
Zhao Luoyi frowned.
Li Meng stepped back holding the bench.
"..." Zhao Luoyi said, "Are you so afraid of me?"
"You are my master, so of course I'm afraid of you." Li Meng said dutifully, who wouldn't blink or even frown at a murderer, and wouldn't be afraid of a killer who would make sure that no fish slipped through the net after the killing?After Zhao Luoyi made a move a few days ago, Li Meng didn't get close to him very much. Fortunately, Huo Lianyun was easy to get along with, and he would ask Li Meng about everything about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"It was left by my relatives." Zhao Luoyi said casually.
"You don't like eating snail meat, do you?"
Zhao Luoyi was taken aback for a moment, then said indifferently: "No, I see you like to eat."
Li Meng thought about it for a moment, Zhao Luoyi hardly ate the snail meat when eating, and gave it to him.
"Is the woman who called you senior brother that day your senior sister?"
"It used to be."
"Does she like you?" Li Meng spoke very fast, Zhao Luoyi looked up at him with a serious face, and thought for a while, "Once upon a time."
"Does she still like you now?" Li Meng became interested.
Zhao Luoyi raised his hand, Li Meng saw that he was holding a copper coin in his fingers, and quickly changed his words: "Got it!"
Zhao Luoyi boredly turned to look at the door, the copper money in his hand was hot.
"How many people have you killed?"
After a while, Zhao Luoyi answered, "Three hundred? Five hundred?"
"..." Swallowing hard, Li Meng asked softly, "Do you still remember the first person you killed?"
Zhao Luoyi stared at the door, "Remember, I almost missed."
Li Meng was silent for a while. The one who died was not the mission target, but the killer himself. Everyone will remember the beginning like this.Suddenly, Li Meng's eager desire to know more about Zhao Luoyi was extinguished, and he murmured unconsciously, "What's it like to kill someone?"
"There will always be a day when you will leave the teacher. When that day comes, you will know." Zhao Luoyi got up and opened the door.
Standing at the door was Huo Lianyun, with one sleeve behind him and a bowl of hot soup in the other, he said with a faint smile, "I've already drank the ginseng chicken soup stewed in the kitchen, and I'm thinking of you too."
Zhao Luoyi glanced at Huo Lianyun's right chest, just looking at his walking posture, at least Li Meng couldn't tell that Huo Lianyun was injured.
"Drink the soup." Zhao Luoyi casually handed the chicken soup to Li Meng.
"Forget about your apprentice." Huo Lianyun called the waiter to come up, and after a while, another bowl of soup was brought into the room.
At first Li Meng felt that Huo Lianyun was easy to get along with. During the Chinese New Year in Ruizhou, Huo Lianyun brought many New Year's gifts and specially took him to make new clothes for the New Year.At that time, Li Meng had only been with Zhao Luoyi for two months, and Zhao Luoyi seldom talked to him, and there were dozens of people in the building, so Li Meng didn't have to follow Zhao Luoyi all the time.On the contrary, Huo Lianyun took him out four or five times, for which Li Meng was very grateful, so in the past two years, he always looked forward to Huo Lianyun's return.
But gradually Li Meng felt that Huo Lianyun had something to hide from Zhao Luoyi.
"Drink it if you don't drink it." Zhao Luoyi said.
Li Meng hurriedly finished the chicken soup, Huo Lianyun said with a smile: "Take down your master's bowl together, by the way, I heard that the chestnut cake made by Master Xie of Yongyin Jiaweiju is a must, go and try it, buy some delicious return."
Li Meng complied, and put the "Wu Wang Sword" that Zhao Luoyi had given him on his waist, feeling extremely majestic, and went downstairs with an empty bowl in his hand.
On the street, Li Mengfang opened the purse to see that there were two gold lockets and some broken silver, so Li Meng put the purse close to his body so as not to lose it.
Huo Lianyun stood on the porch, where he could directly see the street.
"What?" Zhao Luoyi asked.
"Before you said that Li Meng was picked up by you, where did you pick it up, and the foundation is clean?"
"Qingzhou, last winter, snow damage, both parents died." Zhao Luoyi said, "It's not him."
"Some people were killed one after another in the building, and they were all on duty. It started in the winter at the end of last year. You have forgotten the monk, Hua Niang, Aunt Cui and Girl Cui?" Huo Lianyun said, "It's a coincidence that they are all in Li Menglai after."
"He has the brains to be a spy, so I'll sleep with you." Zhao Luoyi said expressionlessly.
Huo Lianyun raised one corner of his mouth, "Is this true?"
"Fake." Zhao Luoyi never took Huo Lianyun's entanglement as an annoyance. Huo Lianyun is a son of an official family and has his own set of rules. He likes to be funny, and nothing can make him show off more than teasing a cold and boring person. A touch of expression is more fulfilling.
"It's only been a few days since I accepted your apprentice and let you talk and laugh?"
"Tell the truth." Zhao Luoyi lost his patience and asked, "The person who chased us hasn't been found yet? Could it be that we brought a group of flies back to Shifanglou?"
"Besides Xiao Changchu, there are two groups from the imperial court. The other three groups are from the Jianghu. Xiao Changchu was expelled because she joined the imperial court. You know who she voted for. Although they are both from the imperial court, the other two groups may not be. Allegiance to Chen Shuo. People in the Jianghu want nothing more than martial arts secret books, or peerless weapons, or stunning beauties. The imperial court does not want many, weapons and beauties are neither alike. It is impossible to talk about martial arts secret books. He Ruiting After making a big circle, we actually entered Zhongan from Fengyang."
Zhao Luoyi's fingers that had been tapping on the railing stopped, and Yongyin Street was bustling with people, and he could see the roasted seeds and nuts stall on the opposite side.
"The Wang family is in Fengyang." Zhao Luoyi said, "If you don't get the Shifang Tower, you still have the hundred soldiers."
"If the Shifang Building submits to the imperial court, the brothers in the building will no longer need to hide in the dark. Perhaps one day, they will be able to glorify their ancestors."
Zhao Luoyi stepped into the house, and the door closed with a "bang".
……
Li Meng inquired all the way, that Jiaweiju is far away from the inn, which is convenient for him to go around in Yongyin City, he is dazzled by the various shops along the road, suddenly seems to be still in Zhong'an.There are rare treasures, tea and wine song workshops, and there are also car and horse shops that can help people deliver letters, and there is a letter writing booth at the door.
Jiaweiju appeared in Li Meng's sight, the clerk didn't take him seriously at all, seeing that he was generous with money and wearing a sword, he guessed that he was a chivalrous man who didn't want to attract attention, so he immediately smiled and led him upstairs.
"Guest officer, wait a moment. The chestnut cakes you ordered are ready-made. Get some of the smaller ones first."
Li Meng asked what else was left, and finally asked the buddy to bring some that were sold well.Li Meng originally liked sweets, but after following Zhao Luoyi, he rarely had such an opportunity to have a good snack. He thought he could bring some to eat on the way, and Huo Lianyun obviously wanted to dismiss him, let alone go back early.
What's more, the environment here is elegant, the teeth are carved and green, and there are people playing the piano. For Li Meng, it's like returning to his third aunt's house.
Li Meng waited for a while, and after a while, he felt that it might not be too long for the buddy to go, so he got up and wanted to call someone to ask, but as soon as he stood up, he fell down with a "boom".
With the last bit of consciousness, Li Meng saw the purple skirt shaking in front of his eyes.
The author has something to say: I have to spend nearly half an hour every day looking at the webpage to turn chrysanthemums, automatic 2333, let me be quiet
☆, task
When he woke up, Li Meng only felt a pain in his neck, and his mind was dull, as if he hadn't slept all night.His vision was blurred, and he found himself tied up in a chair with a woman sitting opposite him.
The woman's hands were wrapped in heavy black gauze, and she wore a deep purple skirt, with only the neckline showing a bright red edge.
Li Meng recognized the woman's whip at a glance, she didn't wear a veil, she was younger than Li Meng thought, and her delicate lips were rosy and beautiful.
Seeing Li Meng wake up, the woman picked up the pastry in her hand, chewed it carefully while looking at Li Meng. After a long time, she said, "Back then, my elder brother acted strangely and had a withdrawn temperament. Everyone in the building thought he would not have an apprentice."
Have to find a way to escape.Li Meng's mind was in a mess, but he thought, if he wanted to kill himself, he wouldn't need to go through a lot of trouble.Then he felt relieved and said in a low voice: "You are lying, my master said that he has no junior sister."
"What he said is not important anymore." Xiao Changchu took out a bamboo tube as thick as a thumb.
Li Meng stared at her vigilantly, struggling with his hands and feet, but he had already been tightly tied to the chair by hemp rope, and the chair would ring when he moved.
"Remember, my name is Xiao Changchu. If you can live longer, maybe I can help you accomplish some things you want to do." Xiao Changchu's face was casual.
The room was very dark, Li Meng could only see Xiao Changchu, but he was not sure, no one else was peeping in the dark.It's best not to ask too much, Li Meng warned himself, but he really wanted to know, "Do you know what I want to do?"
Xiao Changchu glanced at him distractedly, randomly picked up a piece of pastry in his hand, and signaled Li Meng to open his mouth.
Li Meng obeyed, judging that Xiao Changchu didn't want his life, Li Meng relaxed a lot.
"You dare to eat what is in my hand without blinking your eyes. It seems that your master has never mentioned me to you." Xiao Changchu laughed at himself.
The faint sweetness of chestnut spreads on the tip of the tongue. It is the chestnut cake from Jiaweiju. Li Meng couldn't laugh or cry, "Why did you eat the chestnut cake that my buddy brought me without asking!"
"I asked, and you passed out at that time." Xiao Changchu's face was innocent.
"..." Li Meng glanced at the pile of plates, "Bring me another one, I'm hungry."
Xiao Changchu simply came over with a plate, and while feeding Li Meng, teased him, "Your master didn't feed you enough?"
"He doesn't care about me." Li Meng rolled his eyes, "Don't use me to threaten him, he doesn't care about me at all, and my master doesn't care about anyone. If you trade me for what you want Things, maybe he chopped me up before you." Li Meng didn't lie, that's what he thought in his heart.
Xiao Chang Chu smiled: "You don't know him well."
Li Meng squinted: "You understand?"
"He is very nice, but there are so many stupid people in the world, he just doesn't want to talk nonsense." Xiao Changchu himself also ate chestnut cake slowly, and sighed faintly.
"Don't worry about my master." Li Meng couldn't bear to say.
Xiao Chang looked at him and blinked.
Now that he is close, Li Meng can also see clearly that Xiao Chang is really good-looking, with a small pointed face and a romantic charm, and his lips are especially well-shaped, just like a curved water chestnut flower.However, Li Meng also didn't understand himself, and when he saw the beauty, his heart was still like water.
Probably I am old.Li Meng said in his heart, and continued: "My master said that he will not marry a wife in this life."
Xiao Changchu tilted his head in confusion.
Li Meng's lips were dry, and he looked around anxiously.
"You said that no one else can come in here."
Li Meng still cautiously lowered his voice: "My master, he is a good south wind."
"..." Xiao Changchu showed an expression of "as expected", with sad eyes, and put the pastry back on the table, as if he was no longer in the mood to chat happily with Li Meng.
The bamboo tube was turned upside down by Xiao Changchu, and she lightly tapped the wooden cover of the bamboo tube with her fingers.
"Know what this is?"
Li Meng shouted frantically in his heart: How could I know!He asked blankly, "What?"
Xiao Changchu took off the black gauze from her hands, and Li Meng noticed that the black gauze on her hands was wrapped up to her elbows, where red and green veins meandered to her palms, like blood vessels protruding.
"Are you poisoned?"
"Poison?" Xiao Changchu's other hand lightly stroked the blue line, the line seemed to be alive, pulsating rapidly, Xiao Changchu's face turned red, and thin sweat covered his face.
"What is this...?" With Li Meng's limited cognition, he only felt that the thing was very strange, so he was a little scared.
"A kind of Gu insect, used to manipulate people. But..." Xiao Changchu shook the bamboo tube in his hand, "Your one is different, you don't have much inner strength, there is no need to use more precious Gu insects, these insects are not cheap."
Li Meng wanted to back away, but the chair made a sound.
"What are you afraid of? It won't kill you. Aren't you not afraid of me?" Xiao Changchu slowly wrapped the black gauze back.
"Who, who said I'm not afraid of you!"
Xiao Changchu sneered: "With this cowardly look, don't call him Qiongqi's apprentice when you go out."
Zhao Luoyi's Qiongqi tattoo flashed through his mind in an instant, but in just a moment, Li Meng's attention was absorbed by the pain of his finger being cut.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
Regardless of Li Meng's exaggerated yelling, Xiao Changchu shook out the Gu worm that was dawdling and refused to come out.
Li Meng clenched his fist, and was caught off guard by a punch in the abdomen. The pain was so painful that his eyes were staring. When he recovered, Xiao Changchu had already succeeded.
"You, you, aren't you my senior aunt?" Li Meng called with red eyes.
"That's why I want you to accompany my sister-in-law."
Xiao Changchu also had Gu worms in his body, and Li Meng was speechless for a moment.
With a flick of his fingers, Xiao Changchu snapped the hemp rope on Li Meng's body. He rubbed his wrist and said angrily, "What am I going to do?"
"I thought I would have to bother to convince you, but you are a little clever." Xiao Changchu shook his head again.
"I know, I know, I am not good enough for your senior brother, and I don't know why he accepted me as an apprentice. Don't mutter about me, I have been with the master for two years, and he didn't teach me anything. What if For difficult things, don't ask me, I can't do it." Anyway, if he doesn't want to be bitten by the Gu insect, Li Meng said in a desperate manner.
"Something difficult?"
"For example, let me kill my teacher..."
"My brain was eaten by worms, so I thought you could kill him." Xiao Changchu smiled, with a very ugly expression on his face.
"Then tell me what I'm going to do." Li Meng took the pastry plate, crossed his legs, and stared at Xiao Changchu warily while eating.
"I don't like sweets." Xiao Changchu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "As long as you stay by Zhao Luoyi's side obediently, he will go to Fengyang, Bingbawang's house to find something, or he just hides that thing first. In short , be smarter yourself."
"What?" Li Meng asked inadvertently, his heart pounding. Could it be the thing that Huo Lianyun asked, what kind of good thing is it that everyone wants, or else he took it for himself...
"Hundred Soldier Books." Xiao Changchu looked down on Li Meng's cunning, and was a little bit puzzled that Zhao Luoyi had accepted such an apprentice, so he didn't get angry.
"What's it for?" As soon as the words came out, Li Meng felt that the pastry in his throat seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't get up or down.In fact, he was shocked by Xiao Changchu, and the fleeting murderous aura enveloped him. After a while, Li Meng felt that he could move, and hurriedly said: "I just asked casually, you don't tell me what it is for, what if I find the wrong thing?" ?”
Xiao Changchu rubbed his index finger and held a string with his fingers. The string was really inconspicuous. Li Meng never realized that this place could actually communicate with the outside world. When Xiao Changchu rang the copper bell, the door on the wall opened. The door was a stone door, and it fell downwards. , I am afraid that standing outside the door may not be able to find that there is a room here.
Two men in black came in, and one of them was carrying four paper bags strung together in two strings. Li Meng guessed that they were snacks from Jiaweiju.
"Chestnut cake, plum cake, sesame cake, you take them back."
Li Meng didn't dare to ask any more questions. He stared at the door, and at a glance, there was a secluded courtyard outside.
"You can go." Xiao Changchu said.
Li Meng took two steps, and there was an extremely distorted scream from behind, which was more terrifying than the exhausted hoarse sound when a person was about to die.
I saw one of the two just now strangled him, his sleeves slipped off, and there was a red line on his arm. He gestured strangely, as if he was choking his own neck.
After disappearing for a moment, the man in black collapsed to the ground, and black blood gushed out from his seven orifices.
Is it poisoning?Li Meng couldn't help but take two steps back.
"You should look at what he bleeds."
Li Meng swallowed nervously, and didn't dare to run, as long as Xiao Changchu's whip came out, he couldn't run away, so he had to squat down and pull it with his index finger
The face of the man in black.
The black "liquid" slipped from the face, climbed a finger distance, and stopped moving.
Li Meng took a closer look, it wasn't blood, but bugs, not just one.The man in black didn't move at all, apparently dead.
"Okay, let's go."
Walking out of the other courtyard, it was the main street of Yongyin Mansion. Li Meng stretched out his hand suddenly. There was no red line on his arm, but there was a red spot in the crook of his elbow.
Li Meng's mind was very confused.
If you don't do what Xiao Changchu said, this Gu worm can take people's lives invisibly. The key point is that the death looks too ugly... Li Meng's whole body goes numb when he thinks that the worms will crawl out of his body.
If he did as Xiao Changchu said, Zhao Luoyi had been a killer for so many years, and he was extremely vigilant, even if he was found out, he would be dead.
Li Meng is not very afraid of death, death is extremely easy, he is only afraid that no one will avenge the Li family.Li Meng shook his head, not letting himself think about his father.
There were two bangs, and Li Meng kicked the garbage basket squatting on the corner of the street.
"Meow-"
A cat crawled out from under the rotten vegetable leaves, its yellow and blue eyes stared at Li Meng quietly.
One person and one cat looked at each other for a long while, Li Meng was defeated, and walked back dejectedly, if he went out for too long, it would attract suspicion.
Li Meng felt ashamed that his revenge had not been avenged yet, and he saw a Taoist temple not far away, and wanted to change his luck, so he looked down at the chestnut cake in his hand, shook his head and sighed.
Forget it, I used to burn incense to Taoist temples when I was a child, and the name was given by an old man with a nose, so I didn't see how it was good.
"Chestnut cake, plum cake, sesame cake." Li Meng took out Huo Lianyun's purse.
"Your master likes sesame cakes, bring them to him." Huo Lianyun re-divided the desserts, and asked Li Meng to bring sesame cakes and chestnut cakes to Zhao Luoyi.
It was already evening, Zhao Luoyi glanced at the dim sum indifferently, "It's time to eat, go wash your hands."
Because of his own thoughts, the meal was extremely unpleasant, and Li Meng didn't taste the taste of a large plate of fried pork.
After returning to the house, I wiped my body and fell asleep. I was probably so tired during the day that I became confused. When I woke up, I didn't know when I saw an oil lamp in the house.
Zhao Luoyi wasn't asleep yet, and he put his foot on the bench, as if he couldn't sit still.
"Master."
"Don't wake up, keep sleeping." Zhao Luoyi ordered.
"..." Li Meng muttered, "Wake up already, why don't you wake up."
Zhao Luoyi didn't seem to hear, he twisted the needle and thread into a tight knot and bit the thread.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Zhao Luoyi frowned, seemed a little annoyed, but still replied: "I don't have time to stay in Yongyin, I'll leave early tomorrow morning, I forgot to ask you to buy clothes, I'll make them smaller for you, so as not to be inconvenient."
After not hearing the sound for a while, Zhao Luoyi raised her eyebrows, and turned to see Li Meng covered his face under the quilt, the quilt shrugged, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.
"So you're crying?"
Li Meng didn't answer, and showed his face from the quilt roll for a long time, his eyes were slightly red, "Master, why is Xiao Changchu not your junior sister later? Is she not willing to do this?" Li Meng sneered at the sidelines, Xiao Changchu is still killing people now Don't blink, how suitable for this line of work.
Zhao Luoyi's eyes were as cold as ice, and she stared at Li Meng's face for a while.
"What are you asking about? Have you met her?"
Li Meng's heart skipped a beat, he pretended to be scared, and shook his head, "It doesn't scare me to death."
Zhao Luoyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he really regretted that he would listen to Chen Shuo's words back then, what was he thinking at that time, wasn't he short of money to buy wine?Regretting now is not the style of quacks.
"I'll tell you slowly in the future." After casually hanging the clothes of the master and the apprentice on the shelf, Zhao Luoyi blew the lamp and went to bed.
This day Li Meng was very restless, he wanted to touch Zhao Luoyi unconsciously, but he didn't dare, hearing Zhao Luoyi's steady breathing, as if he had fallen asleep, so he put his foot against Zhao Luoyi's calf, and fell asleep without mentioning it .
The author has something to say: The Four Great Beasts are the titles of the four killers in the Shifang Building. Qiongqi looks like a clumsy mascot, but am I the only one who makes up the clumsy mascot after hearing the name...
☆, Zhen Zhen
Perhaps there were a lot of things the day before yesterday, Li Meng was very tired, and it was the first time since he ran for his life that he had a decent place to live, so he slept for a while.What surprised him was that Zhao Luoyi was flipping through a roll of old and faded silk when he woke up, as if he had woken up for a while.
Li Meng wrapped the quilt and said: "Master."
Zhao Luoyi didn't lift his eyelids, "After breakfast, if you want to eat, you can go to the street and buy it yourself." His money bag was placed on the table, obviously Li Meng had to pick it up.
After washing his face, Li Meng put on Zhao Luoyi's modified robe, which really fit him quite well, and then
One of them made an "ah" sound, the sound stopped abruptly, and the man fell down again, motionless.
Li Meng didn't even see clearly how Zhao Luoyi shot, maybe the bong pierced the opponent's forehead.
After inspecting the twelve corpses, Zhao Luoyi said, "Come out."
Li Meng walked out, and after two steps, he turned back to get the bundle, and tied Zhao Luoyi's bundle tightly to his body, only then did Li Meng realize that he was in a cold sweat.
Zhao Luoyi glanced up and down at Li Meng's attire, and beckoned him to go over.
Li Meng took a step back.
Zhao Luoyi pressed her lips against the cigarette holder, took a puff of the pipe, and looked at Li Meng, "Afraid?"
In fact, Li Meng subconsciously kept a distance from Zhao Luoyi, and didn't think much about it. Zhao Luoyi was covered in blood, and the smell made it difficult for Li Meng to adapt for a while.
Finally Li Meng walked up to Zhao Luoyi and knocked out the bong. Zhao Luoyi pinned the pipe to his belt. He supported Li Meng's waist with both hands and untied Li Meng's belt.
"..." Li Meng didn't dare to move, as the belt loosened, his pants seemed to slip down.
"Carry it by yourself."
Li Meng grabbed his pants nervously as if he had been pardoned.
"Come up." With drooping eyelids, Zhao Luoyi tidied up Li Meng's robe so that it was wrapped around his waist. His face was taut. Although there were no wrinkles, Li Meng felt that there was something daunting about him. Don't understand what that is.
Tie up Li Meng's belt, seeing that he was still in a daze, Zhao Luoyi raised his hand as if to pat his head, but Li Meng stared at him warily, Zhao Luoyi withdrew his hand.
"Qinggong, can you still make it move?" Zhao Luoyi asked.
"Okay." Li Meng said so, but it didn't make any sense at all. His hands and feet are weak now.Li Meng raised the sleeve of his robe, wiped Zhao Luoyi's face clean, and frowned, "Let's go now?"
Zhao Luoyi was really surprised. Li Meng was obviously frightened by his killing posture, but he didn't ask those people where they came from or where they went.
Zhao Luoyi was a little relieved and felt that Li Meng was wary of him, and it was very unpleasant to turn around.
A horse neighs from a distance——
Zhao Luoyi blocked Li Mengchao's back and reached for the bong at his waist.
There is a second wave of human attacks?Why don't you get close without anyone noticing, and listen to more than one horse.Li Meng thought confusedly, when he left here, he had to find out the origins of those people just now, and it would be best if he could find out the whole story. Zhao Luoyi's body smelled of blood.Li Meng unconsciously moved back half a step.
"Fourth brother!" Huo Lianyun's voice came out of nowhere.
Zhao Luoyi still didn't leave the pipe.
"It's Second Martial Uncle." Li Meng tugged at the corner of his robe.
Zhao Luoyi ignored him, took two steps forward, and the sound of horse hooves approached. Huo Lianyun was dressed in a white robe of plain brocade, and the horse he was riding was all white without a trace of hair, so it was very eye-catching even in the dark.
"What? Do you want to leave without saying goodbye?" Huo Lianyun dismounted, put his fingers on his lips, and whistled loudly.
With the sound of horseshoes, two empty horses came out of the woods, and one of them rubbed against the white horse.
"It belongs to both of you." Huo Lianyun stepped forward and said cautiously: "The man we killed in Manfang Pavilion the day before yesterday was He Ruiting, who was Cai Rong's confidant. Ann, I came to Lingzhou after crossing Huangshasha Beach, and the purpose is to return to Zhongan, looking for someone and sending things."
"What?" Zhao Luoyi absently touched the side of his neck, there was some blood splashed there, but he didn't know that the blood stains left on Xiao Changchu's hands when he picked it up with his bare hands were wiped on his neck.
"You don't know what it is?" Huo Lianyun said.
"You suspect that I took that thing." Zhao Luoyi said.
Huo Lianyun was noncommittal, staring at Li Meng.
Zhao Luoyi opened her arms, turned to Li Meng and said, "Let your second uncle touch it."
"..." Li Meng could barely breathe when Huo Lianyun approached him. He could smell the nice incense on Huo Lianyun's body. This kind of fragrance is not uncommon, but it is commonly used by rich households. He hadn't smelled it for two years. Heart swaying.
After Huo Lianyun searched both master and apprentice, he untied Zhao Luoyi's burden, two swords, one long and one short, a jade pendant, an old candy paper... two pancakes as dry as stone...
With a money bag dangling in front of his eyes, Huo Lianyun couldn't laugh or cry, "No need..."
There was a clatter of tinkling, and copper coins and broken silver fell on the cloth. Huo Lianyun took out four crumpled silver bills from the purse, ranging from 100 taels to 500 taels.
Li Meng suddenly realized that Zhao Luoyi was not as poor as he looked, he was a secretly rich man.
After the search, Huo Lianyun didn't search carefully anymore, but just wanted to check it out. Lord Hou squatted down, packed Zhao Luoyi's things, put them neatly on Li Meng's back, and tied the purse directly to Zhao Luoyi's body.
At that moment Li Meng couldn't hear what Huo Lianyun said.
Seeing that Huo Lianyun and Zhao Luoyi were very close by the way they spoke, Li Meng didn't know what to look at, so he turned his face away and led the horse.
Huo Lianyun's gaze followed Li Meng's back, put one hand on Zhao Luoyi's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "There are spies in Shifanglou, someone betrayed the executor of this mission."
The executors are Huo Lianyun and Zhao Luoyi.
☆, question
The three of them drove all night, all the way south, via Huai'an, crossed Jiangyin, crossed the Sui River, and arrived at the foot of Anshan Mountain.
In half a month after leaving Lingzhou, he was intercepted five times.
There is a medium-sized city at the foot of Anshan. Li Meng has never been so far away from Zhong'an. The farthest was living in Ruizhou with his family when he was a child. After leaving Zhong'an, he was taken to Ruizhou by Zhao Luoyi.Along the way, everything he saw was getting newer day by day, and Li Meng also noticed that there had been no snow in the past half month, and the weather was getting warmer and warmer.
Although it is similar to people who practice martial arts, none of the passers-by who walked in front of them wore thick fur collars.
"Yongyin." Li Meng looked at the words on the city wall, recognized them all, and read them out.
Passing by the city, all the generals looked lazy, stopping people to check when they remembered, and playing cards around a small table next to the city gate the rest of the time.
Finding an inn first, Huo Lianyun asked for directions to the largest inn in the city.
"Come out with me, how can I let you pay?" Huo Lianyun pressed Zhao Luoyi's hand back to take out the money bag.
Zhao Luoyi looked around casually, and saw Li Meng carrying the bamboo hat he bought for him on the road. Li Meng was not very tall, but he was the chairman, standing at the door, and he had grown old for a long time.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Luoyi walked up, wanting to kick him, but felt that Li Meng couldn't stand his kick, so he patted his head instead.But it made Li Meng tremble with fright.Zhao Luoyi frowned slightly displeased.
"It's nothing." Li Meng walked to the cabinet unhappily, and heard the shopkeeper's promise: "Okay, two upper rooms, the guest officer will wait a moment, I will find someone to lead you up. Do you have any horses?"
Huo Lianyun followed the waiter to tie the horse, did not call Li Meng, Li Meng was waiting in front of the counter, boredly saw that Zhao Luoyi didn't come in, just got up to look, and walked to the door.
Zhao Luoyi was standing at the opposite stall to buy things, his tall body stood there expressionless, so horrified that passers-by would make a detour.
"..." Li Meng covered his face shamelessly and returned to the front of the counter.
Zhao Luoyi was holding an oiled paper bag in his arms, and he didn't greet Li Meng when he came in. When Huo Lianyun came in, they all went upstairs.
Even the inns in the south are different. The windows facing the south are next to the water, and there is actually a river underneath, and a beautiful boat just passes by on the river.The maidservant in the red skirt at the bow of the boat looked up and saw Li Meng, and said something loudly in a soft and pleasant voice, Li Meng couldn't help staring blankly.
"Look again, if the girl asks you to watch it again, you will have to throw money down."
Li Meng turned around after hearing the sound, Zhao Luoyi took out a piece of silver from his purse, "Go downstairs, go out through the small door at the back, there is a stone ladder down to the river, this is enough for you to take a look when you get on the boat."
"What's on board?"
Li Meng was curious, and Zhao Luoyi realized that Li Meng's eyes were not born narrow and long, maybe the first day he saw him, he hadn't slept well for several days, so he squinted them.Li Meng's eyes are small, but they look wet, reminding Zhao Luoyi of the first time he killed someone and was seriously injured. He lay down on the corner of the street for a month, and every day a man came out and put two big buns on a plate. Beside the sack where he slept, the bones and scraps he fed to the stray dogs lay together.
The black dog jumped on his stomach when he was full.
Zhao Luoyi didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when the black dog looked at it a few more times, he always felt that those eyes meant inviting him to touch it.
"It's nothing, woman." Zhao Luoyi spread out the oiled paper bag, exuding an extremely complex smell.
Li Meng licked his lips.
"..." There were quite a few small packets inside, and Zhao Luoyi spread them out one by one, and took out a piece to eat, "Go, don't just look around here."
The money was in Li Meng's hand, he looked at it, and handed the money to Zhao Luoyi: "I won't go downstairs, I'll trade it for what you bought."
Zhao Luoyi had a strange feeling in his heart, a little excited, put away the money with a blank expression, "It's worthless." He put the money back into the purse, and stayed in the room with Li Meng to eat what he just watched from Li Mengbabaer The food bought at the roasted seeds and nuts stall.
Li Meng likes snail meat and herring the most, and they are delicious with spicy dishes, but some are burnt by the heat, and his eyes are moist.
Zhao Luoyi handed him a wine bottle.
Li Meng drank it straight away, "It's a bit sweet."
"Plum blossom wine, you can't buy good ones, just drink some to relieve the spicy."
Li Meng said "um" with a nasal sound, and took another sip of wine, Zhao Luoyi also drank a bottle with him, but Li Meng only drank five or six sips, Zhao Luoyi said: "You are young, don't drink too much." Afterwards, he drank the wine by himself Dry.
"..." After eating, Li Meng squatted on the chair and fed hawthorn slices into his mouth.
Zhao Luoyi wiped his bong beside him.
"Ah!" Li Meng suddenly called out.
Zhao Luoyi turned to look at him indifferently.
Li Meng was about to cry, and was afraid that Zhao Luoyi would get angry and kill him. When Zhao Luoyi asked him, he just said it was nothing.
The room was silent, and Zhao Luoyi was cold-tempered. He asked Li Meng with his eyes just now, but Li Meng didn't answer, so he didn't ask.
After a while, Li Meng, who was so entangled that he went crazy, sat next to Zhao Luoyi. He was wary that Zhao Luoyi would beat him, so he said cautiously across the table, "Master."
Zhao Luoyi glanced at him, then lowered his head to wipe the cigarette rod.
"I didn't take the sword."
"What did I say?"
"Weapons are life." Li Meng replied with red eyes and gritted his teeth.
"I remember very clearly what to do, are you clear?" Zhao Luoyi said coldly, took out a sword from the bag, and slapped it on the table with a "snap". Sheath, looked at Li Meng coldly.
Li Meng's eyes were foggy.
Zhao Luoyi squinted, her breathing was a little short at that moment, and she raised an eyebrow impatiently, "If you don't know, just ask."
Li Meng panted heavily, teardrops rolled down, the corners of his lips pulled down, and he looked like a doormat.
"..." Zhao Luoyi said annoyedly, "Come on, hurry up!"
The raised tone made the corners of Li Meng's mouth twitch, and he began to cry, "I haven't lived enough, I don't want to die yet! Uncle Zhao, please let me go! In the next life, I will be your cow!"
The grievance since leaving Zhong'an was all at the moment when Zhao Luoyi opened the scabbard and showed the sharp blade to Li Meng, forcing out all the fear of the young man.
Zhao Luoyi killed people without blinking an eye, he let him do it himself, but Li Meng didn't want to die yet, he didn't avenge his family yet.
Thinking that Zhao Luoyi had only killed twelve people, Huo Lianyun was on guard all the way. Zhao Luoyi bought so much delicious food just now, probably because of the rules of the world - eat enough to go on the road.
Immediately forced Li Meng to burst into tears.
Li Meng felt ashamed, but couldn't stop his tears, suppressed his crying, and sobbed.
"This sword was given to me by the first drinking buddy when I went down the mountain. He is a blacksmith, and the sword is not bad. This sword has a well-deserved name." He raised his eyebrows again, and said with a sneer: "Being an ox or a horse?"
Li Meng's face was flushed with embarrassment, tears were still hanging on his cheeks, he stretched out his hand to carefully hold the scabbard, "Give it to me?"
"Don't just wait until you go back to Ruizhou, I'll find a way." Zhao Luoyi thought that Li Meng didn't like it. Young people like fancy things. This sword looks plain, and it's really not as good-looking as the one he left behind.
"Yes! I want this one!" Li Meng happily drew out his sword, the sword was fierce and powerful, Li Meng thought it was better than the previous one, after all, it was Zhao Luoyi who carried it with him.
"Use it while you have it." Zhao Luoyi said indifferently, the bong was thoroughly polished, and he wrapped it in a cloth.
Li Meng looked at him strangely.
"Master, I have a question." Zhao Luoyi's act of presenting the sword made Li Meng feel that he was his master, so he boldly chatted with Zhao Luoyi.
"Just say something, I don't like nonsense." Zhao Luoyi made the bed and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"How did you get your bong?" People who use knives and swords are not uncommon, but Zhao Luoyi used a nondescript bong, which fully attracted Li Meng's attention.
Zhao Luoyi frowned.
Li Meng stepped back holding the bench.
"..." Zhao Luoyi said, "Are you so afraid of me?"
"You are my master, so of course I'm afraid of you." Li Meng said dutifully, who wouldn't blink or even frown at a murderer, and wouldn't be afraid of a killer who would make sure that no fish slipped through the net after the killing?After Zhao Luoyi made a move a few days ago, Li Meng didn't get close to him very much. Fortunately, Huo Lianyun was easy to get along with, and he would ask Li Meng about everything about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"It was left by my relatives." Zhao Luoyi said casually.
"You don't like eating snail meat, do you?"
Zhao Luoyi was taken aback for a moment, then said indifferently: "No, I see you like to eat."
Li Meng thought about it for a moment, Zhao Luoyi hardly ate the snail meat when eating, and gave it to him.
"Is the woman who called you senior brother that day your senior sister?"
"It used to be."
"Does she like you?" Li Meng spoke very fast, Zhao Luoyi looked up at him with a serious face, and thought for a while, "Once upon a time."
"Does she still like you now?" Li Meng became interested.
Zhao Luoyi raised his hand, Li Meng saw that he was holding a copper coin in his fingers, and quickly changed his words: "Got it!"
Zhao Luoyi boredly turned to look at the door, the copper money in his hand was hot.
"How many people have you killed?"
After a while, Zhao Luoyi answered, "Three hundred? Five hundred?"
"..." Swallowing hard, Li Meng asked softly, "Do you still remember the first person you killed?"
Zhao Luoyi stared at the door, "Remember, I almost missed."
Li Meng was silent for a while. The one who died was not the mission target, but the killer himself. Everyone will remember the beginning like this.Suddenly, Li Meng's eager desire to know more about Zhao Luoyi was extinguished, and he murmured unconsciously, "What's it like to kill someone?"
"There will always be a day when you will leave the teacher. When that day comes, you will know." Zhao Luoyi got up and opened the door.
Standing at the door was Huo Lianyun, with one sleeve behind him and a bowl of hot soup in the other, he said with a faint smile, "I've already drank the ginseng chicken soup stewed in the kitchen, and I'm thinking of you too."
Zhao Luoyi glanced at Huo Lianyun's right chest, just looking at his walking posture, at least Li Meng couldn't tell that Huo Lianyun was injured.
"Drink the soup." Zhao Luoyi casually handed the chicken soup to Li Meng.
"Forget about your apprentice." Huo Lianyun called the waiter to come up, and after a while, another bowl of soup was brought into the room.
At first Li Meng felt that Huo Lianyun was easy to get along with. During the Chinese New Year in Ruizhou, Huo Lianyun brought many New Year's gifts and specially took him to make new clothes for the New Year.At that time, Li Meng had only been with Zhao Luoyi for two months, and Zhao Luoyi seldom talked to him, and there were dozens of people in the building, so Li Meng didn't have to follow Zhao Luoyi all the time.On the contrary, Huo Lianyun took him out four or five times, for which Li Meng was very grateful, so in the past two years, he always looked forward to Huo Lianyun's return.
But gradually Li Meng felt that Huo Lianyun had something to hide from Zhao Luoyi.
"Drink it if you don't drink it." Zhao Luoyi said.
Li Meng hurriedly finished the chicken soup, Huo Lianyun said with a smile: "Take down your master's bowl together, by the way, I heard that the chestnut cake made by Master Xie of Yongyin Jiaweiju is a must, go and try it, buy some delicious return."
Li Meng complied, and put the "Wu Wang Sword" that Zhao Luoyi had given him on his waist, feeling extremely majestic, and went downstairs with an empty bowl in his hand.
On the street, Li Mengfang opened the purse to see that there were two gold lockets and some broken silver, so Li Meng put the purse close to his body so as not to lose it.
Huo Lianyun stood on the porch, where he could directly see the street.
"What?" Zhao Luoyi asked.
"Before you said that Li Meng was picked up by you, where did you pick it up, and the foundation is clean?"
"Qingzhou, last winter, snow damage, both parents died." Zhao Luoyi said, "It's not him."
"Some people were killed one after another in the building, and they were all on duty. It started in the winter at the end of last year. You have forgotten the monk, Hua Niang, Aunt Cui and Girl Cui?" Huo Lianyun said, "It's a coincidence that they are all in Li Menglai after."
"He has the brains to be a spy, so I'll sleep with you." Zhao Luoyi said expressionlessly.
Huo Lianyun raised one corner of his mouth, "Is this true?"
"Fake." Zhao Luoyi never took Huo Lianyun's entanglement as an annoyance. Huo Lianyun is a son of an official family and has his own set of rules. He likes to be funny, and nothing can make him show off more than teasing a cold and boring person. A touch of expression is more fulfilling.
"It's only been a few days since I accepted your apprentice and let you talk and laugh?"
"Tell the truth." Zhao Luoyi lost his patience and asked, "The person who chased us hasn't been found yet? Could it be that we brought a group of flies back to Shifanglou?"
"Besides Xiao Changchu, there are two groups from the imperial court. The other three groups are from the Jianghu. Xiao Changchu was expelled because she joined the imperial court. You know who she voted for. Although they are both from the imperial court, the other two groups may not be. Allegiance to Chen Shuo. People in the Jianghu want nothing more than martial arts secret books, or peerless weapons, or stunning beauties. The imperial court does not want many, weapons and beauties are neither alike. It is impossible to talk about martial arts secret books. He Ruiting After making a big circle, we actually entered Zhongan from Fengyang."
Zhao Luoyi's fingers that had been tapping on the railing stopped, and Yongyin Street was bustling with people, and he could see the roasted seeds and nuts stall on the opposite side.
"The Wang family is in Fengyang." Zhao Luoyi said, "If you don't get the Shifang Tower, you still have the hundred soldiers."
"If the Shifang Building submits to the imperial court, the brothers in the building will no longer need to hide in the dark. Perhaps one day, they will be able to glorify their ancestors."
Zhao Luoyi stepped into the house, and the door closed with a "bang".
……
Li Meng inquired all the way, that Jiaweiju is far away from the inn, which is convenient for him to go around in Yongyin City, he is dazzled by the various shops along the road, suddenly seems to be still in Zhong'an.There are rare treasures, tea and wine song workshops, and there are also car and horse shops that can help people deliver letters, and there is a letter writing booth at the door.
Jiaweiju appeared in Li Meng's sight, the clerk didn't take him seriously at all, seeing that he was generous with money and wearing a sword, he guessed that he was a chivalrous man who didn't want to attract attention, so he immediately smiled and led him upstairs.
"Guest officer, wait a moment. The chestnut cakes you ordered are ready-made. Get some of the smaller ones first."
Li Meng asked what else was left, and finally asked the buddy to bring some that were sold well.Li Meng originally liked sweets, but after following Zhao Luoyi, he rarely had such an opportunity to have a good snack. He thought he could bring some to eat on the way, and Huo Lianyun obviously wanted to dismiss him, let alone go back early.
What's more, the environment here is elegant, the teeth are carved and green, and there are people playing the piano. For Li Meng, it's like returning to his third aunt's house.
Li Meng waited for a while, and after a while, he felt that it might not be too long for the buddy to go, so he got up and wanted to call someone to ask, but as soon as he stood up, he fell down with a "boom".
With the last bit of consciousness, Li Meng saw the purple skirt shaking in front of his eyes.
The author has something to say: I have to spend nearly half an hour every day looking at the webpage to turn chrysanthemums, automatic 2333, let me be quiet
☆, task
When he woke up, Li Meng only felt a pain in his neck, and his mind was dull, as if he hadn't slept all night.His vision was blurred, and he found himself tied up in a chair with a woman sitting opposite him.
The woman's hands were wrapped in heavy black gauze, and she wore a deep purple skirt, with only the neckline showing a bright red edge.
Li Meng recognized the woman's whip at a glance, she didn't wear a veil, she was younger than Li Meng thought, and her delicate lips were rosy and beautiful.
Seeing Li Meng wake up, the woman picked up the pastry in her hand, chewed it carefully while looking at Li Meng. After a long time, she said, "Back then, my elder brother acted strangely and had a withdrawn temperament. Everyone in the building thought he would not have an apprentice."
Have to find a way to escape.Li Meng's mind was in a mess, but he thought, if he wanted to kill himself, he wouldn't need to go through a lot of trouble.Then he felt relieved and said in a low voice: "You are lying, my master said that he has no junior sister."
"What he said is not important anymore." Xiao Changchu took out a bamboo tube as thick as a thumb.
Li Meng stared at her vigilantly, struggling with his hands and feet, but he had already been tightly tied to the chair by hemp rope, and the chair would ring when he moved.
"Remember, my name is Xiao Changchu. If you can live longer, maybe I can help you accomplish some things you want to do." Xiao Changchu's face was casual.
The room was very dark, Li Meng could only see Xiao Changchu, but he was not sure, no one else was peeping in the dark.It's best not to ask too much, Li Meng warned himself, but he really wanted to know, "Do you know what I want to do?"
Xiao Changchu glanced at him distractedly, randomly picked up a piece of pastry in his hand, and signaled Li Meng to open his mouth.
Li Meng obeyed, judging that Xiao Changchu didn't want his life, Li Meng relaxed a lot.
"You dare to eat what is in my hand without blinking your eyes. It seems that your master has never mentioned me to you." Xiao Changchu laughed at himself.
The faint sweetness of chestnut spreads on the tip of the tongue. It is the chestnut cake from Jiaweiju. Li Meng couldn't laugh or cry, "Why did you eat the chestnut cake that my buddy brought me without asking!"
"I asked, and you passed out at that time." Xiao Changchu's face was innocent.
"..." Li Meng glanced at the pile of plates, "Bring me another one, I'm hungry."
Xiao Changchu simply came over with a plate, and while feeding Li Meng, teased him, "Your master didn't feed you enough?"
"He doesn't care about me." Li Meng rolled his eyes, "Don't use me to threaten him, he doesn't care about me at all, and my master doesn't care about anyone. If you trade me for what you want Things, maybe he chopped me up before you." Li Meng didn't lie, that's what he thought in his heart.
Xiao Chang Chu smiled: "You don't know him well."
Li Meng squinted: "You understand?"
"He is very nice, but there are so many stupid people in the world, he just doesn't want to talk nonsense." Xiao Changchu himself also ate chestnut cake slowly, and sighed faintly.
"Don't worry about my master." Li Meng couldn't bear to say.
Xiao Chang looked at him and blinked.
Now that he is close, Li Meng can also see clearly that Xiao Chang is really good-looking, with a small pointed face and a romantic charm, and his lips are especially well-shaped, just like a curved water chestnut flower.However, Li Meng also didn't understand himself, and when he saw the beauty, his heart was still like water.
Probably I am old.Li Meng said in his heart, and continued: "My master said that he will not marry a wife in this life."
Xiao Changchu tilted his head in confusion.
Li Meng's lips were dry, and he looked around anxiously.
"You said that no one else can come in here."
Li Meng still cautiously lowered his voice: "My master, he is a good south wind."
"..." Xiao Changchu showed an expression of "as expected", with sad eyes, and put the pastry back on the table, as if he was no longer in the mood to chat happily with Li Meng.
The bamboo tube was turned upside down by Xiao Changchu, and she lightly tapped the wooden cover of the bamboo tube with her fingers.
"Know what this is?"
Li Meng shouted frantically in his heart: How could I know!He asked blankly, "What?"
Xiao Changchu took off the black gauze from her hands, and Li Meng noticed that the black gauze on her hands was wrapped up to her elbows, where red and green veins meandered to her palms, like blood vessels protruding.
"Are you poisoned?"
"Poison?" Xiao Changchu's other hand lightly stroked the blue line, the line seemed to be alive, pulsating rapidly, Xiao Changchu's face turned red, and thin sweat covered his face.
"What is this...?" With Li Meng's limited cognition, he only felt that the thing was very strange, so he was a little scared.
"A kind of Gu insect, used to manipulate people. But..." Xiao Changchu shook the bamboo tube in his hand, "Your one is different, you don't have much inner strength, there is no need to use more precious Gu insects, these insects are not cheap."
Li Meng wanted to back away, but the chair made a sound.
"What are you afraid of? It won't kill you. Aren't you not afraid of me?" Xiao Changchu slowly wrapped the black gauze back.
"Who, who said I'm not afraid of you!"
Xiao Changchu sneered: "With this cowardly look, don't call him Qiongqi's apprentice when you go out."
Zhao Luoyi's Qiongqi tattoo flashed through his mind in an instant, but in just a moment, Li Meng's attention was absorbed by the pain of his finger being cut.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
Regardless of Li Meng's exaggerated yelling, Xiao Changchu shook out the Gu worm that was dawdling and refused to come out.
Li Meng clenched his fist, and was caught off guard by a punch in the abdomen. The pain was so painful that his eyes were staring. When he recovered, Xiao Changchu had already succeeded.
"You, you, aren't you my senior aunt?" Li Meng called with red eyes.
"That's why I want you to accompany my sister-in-law."
Xiao Changchu also had Gu worms in his body, and Li Meng was speechless for a moment.
With a flick of his fingers, Xiao Changchu snapped the hemp rope on Li Meng's body. He rubbed his wrist and said angrily, "What am I going to do?"
"I thought I would have to bother to convince you, but you are a little clever." Xiao Changchu shook his head again.
"I know, I know, I am not good enough for your senior brother, and I don't know why he accepted me as an apprentice. Don't mutter about me, I have been with the master for two years, and he didn't teach me anything. What if For difficult things, don't ask me, I can't do it." Anyway, if he doesn't want to be bitten by the Gu insect, Li Meng said in a desperate manner.
"Something difficult?"
"For example, let me kill my teacher..."
"My brain was eaten by worms, so I thought you could kill him." Xiao Changchu smiled, with a very ugly expression on his face.
"Then tell me what I'm going to do." Li Meng took the pastry plate, crossed his legs, and stared at Xiao Changchu warily while eating.
"I don't like sweets." Xiao Changchu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "As long as you stay by Zhao Luoyi's side obediently, he will go to Fengyang, Bingbawang's house to find something, or he just hides that thing first. In short , be smarter yourself."
"What?" Li Meng asked inadvertently, his heart pounding. Could it be the thing that Huo Lianyun asked, what kind of good thing is it that everyone wants, or else he took it for himself...
"Hundred Soldier Books." Xiao Changchu looked down on Li Meng's cunning, and was a little bit puzzled that Zhao Luoyi had accepted such an apprentice, so he didn't get angry.
"What's it for?" As soon as the words came out, Li Meng felt that the pastry in his throat seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't get up or down.In fact, he was shocked by Xiao Changchu, and the fleeting murderous aura enveloped him. After a while, Li Meng felt that he could move, and hurriedly said: "I just asked casually, you don't tell me what it is for, what if I find the wrong thing?" ?”
Xiao Changchu rubbed his index finger and held a string with his fingers. The string was really inconspicuous. Li Meng never realized that this place could actually communicate with the outside world. When Xiao Changchu rang the copper bell, the door on the wall opened. The door was a stone door, and it fell downwards. , I am afraid that standing outside the door may not be able to find that there is a room here.
Two men in black came in, and one of them was carrying four paper bags strung together in two strings. Li Meng guessed that they were snacks from Jiaweiju.
"Chestnut cake, plum cake, sesame cake, you take them back."
Li Meng didn't dare to ask any more questions. He stared at the door, and at a glance, there was a secluded courtyard outside.
"You can go." Xiao Changchu said.
Li Meng took two steps, and there was an extremely distorted scream from behind, which was more terrifying than the exhausted hoarse sound when a person was about to die.
I saw one of the two just now strangled him, his sleeves slipped off, and there was a red line on his arm. He gestured strangely, as if he was choking his own neck.
After disappearing for a moment, the man in black collapsed to the ground, and black blood gushed out from his seven orifices.
Is it poisoning?Li Meng couldn't help but take two steps back.
"You should look at what he bleeds."
Li Meng swallowed nervously, and didn't dare to run, as long as Xiao Changchu's whip came out, he couldn't run away, so he had to squat down and pull it with his index finger
The face of the man in black.
The black "liquid" slipped from the face, climbed a finger distance, and stopped moving.
Li Meng took a closer look, it wasn't blood, but bugs, not just one.The man in black didn't move at all, apparently dead.
"Okay, let's go."
Walking out of the other courtyard, it was the main street of Yongyin Mansion. Li Meng stretched out his hand suddenly. There was no red line on his arm, but there was a red spot in the crook of his elbow.
Li Meng's mind was very confused.
If you don't do what Xiao Changchu said, this Gu worm can take people's lives invisibly. The key point is that the death looks too ugly... Li Meng's whole body goes numb when he thinks that the worms will crawl out of his body.
If he did as Xiao Changchu said, Zhao Luoyi had been a killer for so many years, and he was extremely vigilant, even if he was found out, he would be dead.
Li Meng is not very afraid of death, death is extremely easy, he is only afraid that no one will avenge the Li family.Li Meng shook his head, not letting himself think about his father.
There were two bangs, and Li Meng kicked the garbage basket squatting on the corner of the street.
"Meow-"
A cat crawled out from under the rotten vegetable leaves, its yellow and blue eyes stared at Li Meng quietly.
One person and one cat looked at each other for a long while, Li Meng was defeated, and walked back dejectedly, if he went out for too long, it would attract suspicion.
Li Meng felt ashamed that his revenge had not been avenged yet, and he saw a Taoist temple not far away, and wanted to change his luck, so he looked down at the chestnut cake in his hand, shook his head and sighed.
Forget it, I used to burn incense to Taoist temples when I was a child, and the name was given by an old man with a nose, so I didn't see how it was good.
"Chestnut cake, plum cake, sesame cake." Li Meng took out Huo Lianyun's purse.
"Your master likes sesame cakes, bring them to him." Huo Lianyun re-divided the desserts, and asked Li Meng to bring sesame cakes and chestnut cakes to Zhao Luoyi.
It was already evening, Zhao Luoyi glanced at the dim sum indifferently, "It's time to eat, go wash your hands."
Because of his own thoughts, the meal was extremely unpleasant, and Li Meng didn't taste the taste of a large plate of fried pork.
After returning to the house, I wiped my body and fell asleep. I was probably so tired during the day that I became confused. When I woke up, I didn't know when I saw an oil lamp in the house.
Zhao Luoyi wasn't asleep yet, and he put his foot on the bench, as if he couldn't sit still.
"Master."
"Don't wake up, keep sleeping." Zhao Luoyi ordered.
"..." Li Meng muttered, "Wake up already, why don't you wake up."
Zhao Luoyi didn't seem to hear, he twisted the needle and thread into a tight knot and bit the thread.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Zhao Luoyi frowned, seemed a little annoyed, but still replied: "I don't have time to stay in Yongyin, I'll leave early tomorrow morning, I forgot to ask you to buy clothes, I'll make them smaller for you, so as not to be inconvenient."
After not hearing the sound for a while, Zhao Luoyi raised her eyebrows, and turned to see Li Meng covered his face under the quilt, the quilt shrugged, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.
"So you're crying?"
Li Meng didn't answer, and showed his face from the quilt roll for a long time, his eyes were slightly red, "Master, why is Xiao Changchu not your junior sister later? Is she not willing to do this?" Li Meng sneered at the sidelines, Xiao Changchu is still killing people now Don't blink, how suitable for this line of work.
Zhao Luoyi's eyes were as cold as ice, and she stared at Li Meng's face for a while.
"What are you asking about? Have you met her?"
Li Meng's heart skipped a beat, he pretended to be scared, and shook his head, "It doesn't scare me to death."
Zhao Luoyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he really regretted that he would listen to Chen Shuo's words back then, what was he thinking at that time, wasn't he short of money to buy wine?Regretting now is not the style of quacks.
"I'll tell you slowly in the future." After casually hanging the clothes of the master and the apprentice on the shelf, Zhao Luoyi blew the lamp and went to bed.
This day Li Meng was very restless, he wanted to touch Zhao Luoyi unconsciously, but he didn't dare, hearing Zhao Luoyi's steady breathing, as if he had fallen asleep, so he put his foot against Zhao Luoyi's calf, and fell asleep without mentioning it .
The author has something to say: The Four Great Beasts are the titles of the four killers in the Shifang Building. Qiongqi looks like a clumsy mascot, but am I the only one who makes up the clumsy mascot after hearing the name...
☆, Zhen Zhen
Perhaps there were a lot of things the day before yesterday, Li Meng was very tired, and it was the first time since he ran for his life that he had a decent place to live, so he slept for a while.What surprised him was that Zhao Luoyi was flipping through a roll of old and faded silk when he woke up, as if he had woken up for a while.
Li Meng wrapped the quilt and said: "Master."
Zhao Luoyi didn't lift his eyelids, "After breakfast, if you want to eat, you can go to the street and buy it yourself." His money bag was placed on the table, obviously Li Meng had to pick it up.
After washing his face, Li Meng put on Zhao Luoyi's modified robe, which really fit him quite well, and then
