Time has arrived in late October in the blink of an eye. Midsummer has passed, and autumn has entered. The weather has turned colder, but the demon clan's offensive in Taixia West Hammer has surged. Wuzhou, Zhuzhou, and Yinzhou have been in emergency one after another. Taixia has been attacked almost every day.
When the news of the fall of Xia Chengchi came, Taixia was shaken, thousands of miles of beacon smoke roared, and the flames of the Holy War began to completely burn in the Eastern Continent...
Wuzhou, Zhuzhou, and Yinzhou are no longer Huangzhou or Xiazhou, but the Zhongzhou of Taixia. Their population sizes are not comparable to those of Xiazhou and Huangzhou. When the demons attack from the distant deserted land,
When the invasion invaded these three states and gradually expanded, the battle situation in the western border of Taixia made almost every Taixia citizen worry.
In the past few months, among all the news about the demon clan, the two words "winged demon" are mentioned most often, because those who invaded the three states are all winged demons. At this time, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky, legends
, this time, the number of winged demons who are the vanguard of the demon army exceeds 100 million, and these winged demons are all ninth-level winged demons. Among the hundreds of millions of winged demon vanguards, only the winged demon knights
quantity, it exceeds
Within the three states, countless Taixia people became refugees and began to migrate to the eastern states...
…
In a mountainous area of Helan Mountain, after the frost, the maple leaves in this mountainous area turned red, like wildfires all over the mountains and fields, burning through the land for hundreds of miles...
The sun had just come out in the morning, the dew had not disappeared in the woods, and there was still a layer of mist in the valley. Amidst the rustling footsteps, a group of embarrassed people suddenly emerged from the woods, carrying baggage.
More than twenty people, both men and women, came.
When these people saw the dense and tall maple trees a few hundred meters away, a few people in front cheered excitedly, "Sugar maple, there is something to eat..."
When they heard that there was something to eat, everyone in the group, both men and women, became energetic. Even the tired ones quickened their pace and ran towards the maple forest...
For people who suffer from hunger, nothing is more attractive to them than food.
"Wait for me...wait for me...leave some for me..." A panting fat man in his fifties walked at the end of the crowd and was grouped down a distance. He didn't know where this fat man was with these people.
After trekking in the mountains and forests for many days, at this moment, the gorgeous gold silk military robe and the expensive fox fur coat on the outer robe of the fat man already looked dirty, especially the exposed clothes.
, are already somewhat tattered. They seem to have been scratched a lot by shrubs and thorns.
Seeing the people in front of him running desperately, no one paid attention to him. The fat man who was left behind could not help but curse while running, and looked at the people running in front of him with some resentment, "You... dogs
Things... At this time, you only care about yourself... and ignore me... When you leave here, I want you to look good... Wait for me to get slapped... No one can get another copper from me...
"
Running at the front of the crowd were a few powerful-looking guards who were carrying weapons and wearing leather wrist guards. Although these people were in a sorry state, they were generally much more agile than the fat man at the end. They ran to that area
In the maple forest, the person at the front of the crowd found a tall maple tree with a height of more than thirty meters, and several people hugged it. He took out his dagger and slashed the trunk of the maple tree, in the blink of an eye.
, from the cut part of the tree trunk, some thick, slightly yellowish-brown sap began to flow down.
He wiped a little of it with his dagger and put it in his mouth to taste. The man immediately took out the tin kettle filled with water that he had brought with him without saying a word. He began to fill the tin kettle with the sap flowing from the trunk of the sugar maple tree.
The men who rushed into the maple forest from behind also followed suit. They used the daggers and other sharp weapons they carried with them to slide the openings from the sugar maple trunks to allow the syrup in the sugar maple trunks to stay. Several of them were dressed as servants.
This person, without any regard for appearance, put his mouth over and began greedily sucking up the thick sap flowing from the trunk of the sugar maple...
"Fortunately, it's still autumn and winter... When winter comes, the sugar maple syrup will be gone..." Someone said happily and vaguely while drinking the juice flowing from the sugar maple.
"This one...this one...choose this one...the color of the syrup on your one is too heavy...the syrup flowing from the sugar maple should be more transparent and sweeter..."
The maple forest was in chaos.
A man in his forties, with a thin face, three long beards, and a small package on his back, who looked like a butler, did not run, but walked slowly and slowly behind the crowd. Among all the people, this man
People who look like housekeepers look the neatest in appearance, with very few scratches on their clothes.
The butler did not panic, but walked directly to the guard who was the first to rush into the maple forest. The sturdy guard quickly handed the syrup from the kettle in his hand to the butler.
The housekeeper took a few sips, smacked his lips, and his face became much better, "This is the road that has no end. I didn't expect that we would encounter such a sugar maple forest in such a disaster!"
"This is all thanks to your command, Steward Li. Otherwise, if something happened to our airship, everyone would panic. Without Steward Li, we wouldn't be able to get out of Helan Mountain!" Just after the steward finished speaking, someone heard someone next to him.
The servant-looking person who spoke of this quickly flattered me with a smile on his face.
Butler Li was neither proud nor scolding, he just smiled, and that smile seemed a little deep. He said to the guard who handed him the kettle, "There are not many ferocious monsters above level ten in Helan Mountain, but
There are many other beasts. We need several guards to take turns outside to keep watch. Don't be careless. Let's rest here for two hours. After drinking enough, fill up the syrup before leaving. I think there are still a few hundred kilometers to go.
We can get out of Helan Mountain. With this syrup, even if we don’t have anything to eat for the next two days, as long as we have a little water,..."
"Yes..." the guard responded. He looked at the environment here and his eyes moved, a little strange. Just as he was about to say something, two women walked over with charming smiles on their faces. The housekeeper looked at the guard.
At one glance, the guard quickly lowered his head and walked away...
…
By the time the fat man at the back limped to Maple Forest, everyone in the Maple Forest had already rested for more than ten minutes.
The fat man's speed was originally slower, but when he was in a hurry on the way, he fell, his forehead was bruised, and his feet were sprained, so his speed became even slower.
When he came to the maple forest, the fat man's face was already pale. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. At this time, the fat man also didn't care about his image. He found a maple tree and sat down on the ground, violently
gasping...
"Master, please drink some. This is reserved for you specially. The reason why I ran so fast just now is because I want to prepare things for you..." A man who looked like a servant licked his lips.
When the syrup was served, he came over with a look of shamelessness and handed over the next few syrups in his kettle.
"Still, Liu Shan, you are loyal...wait to get out of this hellish place...Master, I will reward you heavily..." The fat man said breathlessly, just casually glanced at the servant who gave him a bad look, grabbed the kettle filled with syrup,
He raised his head and started drinking without any intention of saving some for others to drink.
"Thank you, master, thank you, master..." The servant named Liu Shan smiled, his eyes narrowed to a slit. He had a sweet dream of letting the master remember him in times of crisis, and his waist was almost bent to the ground.
After the fat man drank the syrup presented by his "loyal servant" Liu Shan, he felt better, but his sprained foot still hurt a little. As soon as he put down the kettle in his hand, the fat man tilted his head and saw his favorite
The two concubines were sitting next to Butler Li, drinking syrup from Butler Li's kettle.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that his two concubines are sitting too close to Butler Li. The bodies of the two concubines, apart from being separated by a layer of clothes, are completely attached to Butler Li.
, one of the concubines was talking to Butler Li coquettishly. One of her breasts was pressed against Butler Li's arm, and the other concubine even rubbed Butler Li's shoulders.
Looking at the behavior of the two bitches now, they are not shy about being close to each other. There is no distinction between master and servant. If you don't know, you thought they were the women of Butler Li. This is because the color of the hat on your head is not enough.
Environmentally friendly.
As the saying goes, crisis reveals people's hearts. Ever since the airship accidentally crashed into the Helan Mountains in the past two days, the fat man has felt that something is wrong with his two "concubines". They seem to be spending more and more time around Butler Li. Just now
, these two bitches ran towards me without paying any attention to me.
In an instant, the fat man felt a wave of evil energy rushing straight into Tian Ling Gai. Without thinking, he threw the kettle in his hand at Butler Li and the two bitches.
The three people were sitting about ten meters away from the fat man. The kettle in the fat man's hand did not hit the target, but hit the maple tree next to the three people.
This sudden movement and noise startled everyone who was resting in the maple forest.
The two concubines of the fat man exclaimed, turned their heads, and immediately saw their master whose eyes were almost on fire.
The housekeeper also turned his head and looked over, his eyes moved, but he did not avoid it.
The fat man was about to scold the butler, but suddenly he thought that everyone was fleeing in the past few days, and he was not in good health. If he broke up with the butler at this time, he might not be able to get better, so he couldn't help but let out a bad breath towards his two lovers.
My concubine had a seizure and left.
"Liu Shan..." The fat man shouted angrily, pointing at his two concubines with trembling fingers, "Go over, pull those two bitches over to me, and give me ten slaps each!"
Liu Shan only hesitated for a moment, then rolled up his sleeves and strode over.
Butler Li and the master's two concubines both stood up. When they heard the master's voice, the faces of the two women changed. They actually grabbed Butler Li's sleeves tightly and hid behind Butler Li in fear. When they saw
At this scene, the fat man was even more angry and felt that the hat on his head might have changed color.
A woman's reaction at this time cannot be deceived. If these two women still regard themselves as their men, then what they have to do at this time is to kneel on the ground and ask for their forgiveness, but at this time they
Hiding behind Butler Li means that in their hearts, Butler Li is their man.
"Steward Li, please give in, Master, let me..." Liu Shan was still a little polite to Steward Li and did not dare to offend, but said carefully.
Before he could say anything, Liu Shan was shocked, a wisp of blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes widened, and he looked down at his chest.
There was already a dagger stuck in Liu Shan's chest, outside his heart, and the dagger was in Butler Li's hand. Until this moment, Liu Shan had not noticed that there was a dagger in Butler Li's hand. Not to mention.
Thinking that Butler Li would kill him...
Liu Shan had seen Butler Li holding a pen and making calculations, but he had never seen Butler Li hold a sword or dagger in his hand.
Butler Li's face was cold, and the hand holding the dagger did not tremble at all. He held it tightly, with veins on his hand showing. In Liu Shan's shocked eyes, Butler Li twisted the hand holding the dagger fiercely.
The dagger hit his heart. With this twist, Liu Shan couldn't utter a single word. With a pop, a mouthful of blood spurted into Butler Li's face. He was instantly killed and his body fell down.
The sudden change and the murderous aura and cruelty that erupted from Butler Li shocked everyone who was resting in the maple forest.
"Killing people..." A timid servant in the distance screamed, and without even thinking, he rolled and crawled away.
The two women who had just stood behind Butler Li were so frightened that they fell to the ground. More people were stunned, and the fat man even screamed like a pig. "Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu, Butler Li is crazy."
, Take down Butler Li quickly...",
The majestic guard just now ran over with a knife and ran to Butler Li's side, but did not make a move, but looked at Butler Li.
Butler Li wiped the blood from his face and glanced at the servant who was running away. Zhao Wu rushed over in three steps and two steps at a time. He raised the knife and lowered it. With just one stroke, he directly penetrated the escaping servant.
It’s so heart-breaking...
Seeing this scene, the other servants screamed without even thinking about it. They all ran out of the forest in panic.
"Kill..." Butler Li said two words coldly.
Several guards rushed towards the fleeing servants...
…
There was no suspense in the result, but a minute later, the guard who had killed the man returned with a bloody knife. A group of people surrounded the fat man, like a pack of wild wolves surrounding a fat pig, each of them with glaring eyes. Full of passion.
Tyranny and greed.
Seeing these familiar and humble faces suddenly become ferocious and terrifying, the fat man was so frightened that he peed his pants. His pants were all wet all of a sudden. He sat on the ground, leaning against a maple tree, and could not retreat.
But he didn't expect that, except for a few servants, everyone else in this family was already members of Butler Li, "Li... Butler Li... you... what are you doing?"
"Originally, I wanted to look at the relationship between you and me as master and servant over the years, and find a suitable place for you to walk in a more dignified manner, like a master. I didn't expect that you would have an attack here, so don't
It's my fault!" Butler Li came over. Although his blood-stained face was wiped a little, it was still red, and he looked very scared.
"You...you want to take advantage of my money and property?" The fat man reacted immediately.
"Anyway, sir, you have no children and are sick all over. In recent years, you can't even play with women. If you keep so much of your family property and money for yourself, wouldn't it be a waste? How about I enjoy it for you?
Yes!" Butler Li smiled sinisterly, a bit scary.
"You... aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"
"God's punishment?" When Butler Li heard these two words, he burst out laughing as if he had heard something funny. "It's really refreshing to hear these two words from your mouth, sir.
If we believed in divine punishment, shopkeeper Hong who worked at Huai En Bu would not have died less than a year after becoming sworn brothers with me. How did shopkeeper Hong die? Master, do you really think I don’t know?"
Hearing the words "shopkeeper hong", the fat man's face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body trembled as if struck by lightning. He pointed at Butler Li, "You...you...you...", unable to say anything.
Words come.
"It's already reached this point. I'd better ask you to be more understanding. Isn't it strange that your health has gotten worse and worse over the years, with more and more symptoms, and that you have never had a child? You have seen many doctors, but nothing works?"
"Is this also you..." The fat man trembled all over, and then he shook his head in denial, "It's impossible. The doctors I saw all said that the reason why I have no children is because I have less sperm and am weak. It's a physical problem.
It’s hard to get a woman pregnant!”
"Hahaha, if you have descendants, master, will it be my turn to get your money and property now..." Butler Li burst out laughing, "Sir, do you still remember what I often say to you, even if it happens again?
If you have money, you should also read more. Books have their own golden houses, and books have their own beauty. Master, you just read too little, and you still despise scholars. Now you know, you don’t read enough. No matter how much money you have, it doesn’t matter.
As a result, I don’t even know how I died, I live in a muddle, and I die in an unclear way. I don’t even know why I have no children, why I have anemia and anemia, why my energy is getting worse and worse, and my body is getting more and more sick.
This method is not unusual. I just added a little potassium iodate to the salt of the meals you eat at home every day. After eating it for many years, my body has naturally become what it is now.
, If you can read more books like me, you will know. This method of manipulating salt is not unusual. It was just a killing move used by the demon clan and the three-eyed society to attack and destroy the Chinese clan.
That’s all, you’ll know if you read enough…”
"Potassium iodate?" The fat man muttered to himself. This name was too unfamiliar to the fat man. He only vaguely seemed to have heard of such a thing. "This... this is not a treatment."
Is there any iodine supplement for big neck disease?”
Butler Li sighed, "So, sir, if you can still be reincarnated as a human being, you must study more, otherwise you will not even know the difference between potassium iodide and potassium iodate, and you will eat unclearly. You will die."
Unexplained, although my eyes are open, I live like a blind man. In the past, the demons and the Three-Eyed Society would definitely like a brainless person like you, sir. They are two completely different things. I thought they were just names.
Two similar things are the same..."
Thinking that he had been trying so hard to have a child for so many years, but had never had any children, and his health was getting worse and worse. Even the doctors couldn't do anything and couldn't explain the reason. At first, the fat man thought it was due to excessive drinking and sex.
I thought that all of this was the result of careful arrangements by others. The salt required for my three meals a day had already been quietly tampered with by others, causing my body to become like this.
"I will fight with you..." The fat man looked ferocious. He jumped up and wanted to rush towards Butler Li. However, as soon as he got up, he was kicked hard by a guard and fell down hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
, smiled miserably, "This is retribution. Even if you kill me, don't even think about taking away my family property from me. Those family properties, even if I become a ghost, I will take them to the underworld..."
Butler Li smiled disdainfully and said gently, "Didn't I just sew your golden tickets into the fox fur you wore? If I kill you, how will you take away the golden tickets? Master, do you think this time?
The airship crash was really an accident. If it hadn't been for this crash, how would I have known that you would have taken your entire fortune with you, sir?"
"you……"
Just when the fat man was about to say something, Butler Li's body flashed with fighting spirit. He raised his knife and struck the fat man's neck with the knife. A stream of blood splashed onto the trunk of the maple tree next to him, staining it red.
A piece of the fat man's head rolled to the side with his eyes wide open...
After cutting off the fat man's head, Butler Li peeled off the fox fur from the fat man's body and used his dagger to slide the fox fur away. Sure enough, he saw a dazzling golden golden ticket inside.
The tickets, the smallest one, all have a face value of 10,000...
The breathing of the surrounding guards became a little heavier, but when Butler Li turned around, all the guards were shocked and did not dare to look further. These guards all knew Butler Li's ability. Without this ability, Li would have been in trouble for many years.
It is impossible for the housekeeper to subdue all the guards.
Butler Li took out a few stacks of gold tickets from the fox fur and put them into his own baggage, "Now that we are on the same boat, don't think too much about it. I promise you that I will not miss you a single copper.
The situation in Taixia is in chaos. We can just take advantage of the chaos to leave Huanzhou and find a place to settle down. From now on, I will be the master. If you follow me, you will be a hundred times stronger than you are now..."
"Everything follows the master's instructions..."
"Okay, let's pack up these corpses, dig a hole here and bury them, and it will be settled..."
"Okay!" Zhao Wu took the lead, and several guards began to dig holes in the ground with their tools and bury the corpses one after another.
In such a short time, the two concubines of the fat man had already been frightened by this series of events. When they saw Butler Li walking over with a blood-red face holding a dagger, the two charming women who were so frightened that their faces were pale and pale, were already stunned.
I can't walk on the road, I can only tremble.
"Steward Li, from now on... we will do whatever you say, and we will all listen to you..."
"Steward Li, we... our sisters... will serve you well in the future..."
Butler Li came over with a completely indifferent look on his face. No matter how much the two women begged him, he still stabbed them one by one and killed them in the blink of an eye.
Butler Li knelt down and wiped the blood off the daggers on the clothes of the two women, "I think back then you two were just women showing off in the hookup, and you were exposed to prostitute yourself. The master thought you were beautiful, so he
You redeemed me so that you would have good clothes and good food, and you would no longer have to work in lowly jobs. You can even betray a man who is kind to you. How do I know that you will not betray me one day? Do you really think you can control me in bed?
If a man makes you happy, then that man won’t do anything to you? You just think that with a little cleverness and good looks, you can trick a man into applauding him and make him unable to live without you..."
After wiping the dagger, shopkeeper Li stood up, looked at the two corpses on the ground that were gradually becoming colder and no longer vivid, shook his head, and made a conclusion, "I still haven't studied enough..."
In less than ten minutes, in the maple forest, except for the smell of blood that had not dissipated, all the corpses were buried underground.
After doing all this, Butler Li and a few guards were about to walk out of the maple forest, but they suddenly stopped and everyone's eyes shrank.
Because at some point, a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old stood in front of them. Just now, everyone was in the maple forest, but they didn't know when there was an extra person beside them.
The young man did not carry any weapons, just like a noble prince on an autumn outing.
The young man looked at the maple leaves, and then at the fresh bloodstains in the maple forest. He shook his head and said with some regret, "The red color of this maple forest was quite beautiful originally, but once it is stained with blood, the red color becomes disfigured."
It’s become dazzling!”
Butler Li squinted his eyes and couldn't see the depth of the young man. However, there were no servants around the young man. More importantly, the young man looked too young and did not look like a master. This made Butler Li confused.
A thought of luck came into my mind.
"Zhao Wu, kill him!" Butler Li did not rush, but let Zhao Wu go first.
As soon as Butler Li finished speaking, Zhao Wu rushed out.
Seeing Zhao Wu rushing over, the boy just snapped his fingers. There seemed to be an indescribable magic power in the snap of his fingers. The sound of snapping his fingers penetrated the ears and brains, carrying a strange power that penetrated deeply into everyone's consciousness.
In the deepest part, just one moment, everyone including Zhao Wu's body suddenly stiffened, making it impossible to even move.
The young man looked at these people, shook his head, and his words also carried a strange resonance and power that penetrated people's hearts, "If I want to kill you, I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty, so just commit suicide and apologize!"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, several people's stiff bodies were able to move, but like puppets and marionettes, everyone, including Butler Li, simply picked up the weapons or daggers in their hands and shined them fiercely one by one.
A hard tap on my neck or heart.
Thick blood energy filled the maple forest again...
