Raising the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 35: Questioning from outside the village
"Boss Hu, the young master has rewarded you with a lot of money today. Let us have a good meal tonight." Liu Da's loud voice was particularly harsh in this open wilderness.
The person who was called by Liu Da as 'Guanshi Hu' was the steward of Master Liu's courtyard. With the young master's reward, Steward Hu made an appointment with Liu Da and several others to go to Liangzhou City for a drink. At this moment, Steward Hu listened.
Liu Dazhi said with a smile: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I heard that some new girls have arrived in Feng Lai Building. It's just right. Let's go and have a try."
One of the people accompanying him looked up and saw that the sky had turned dark. He said, "Look at this hour, the city gate is already closed. Can we still catch up?"
Manager Hu gestured towards the attendant, Liu Dayi, and said: "Isn't Master Liu here? He is our young master's celebrity. He follows our young master around. Who in Liangzhou City can't give you some thin noodles?"
Just feel free to follow my brothers and let’s have a good time tonight.”
Under the flattery of Manager Hu, Liu Da held his head high and rode on horseback, pretending to be humble and said: "I also owe it all to our young master. If our young master doesn't say anything else, this is the only place in Liangzhou." Liu Da said,
He patted his chest and gave a thumbs up.
Gu Xiao used Qinggong to follow him in the snow in the distance. He saw that Liu Da and his party had moved away from Liuzhuang and entered a forest. He thought that this was the best place to take action, so he took out a piece of brocade cloth from his arms and tied himself
With his face covered, he used his feet to step on the snow, flying towards Liu Da and his group like ghosts in the snow. He thought to himself that Liu Da was the follower of Liu Yi, and he must know where Miss Lin'er was in Liuzhuang at the moment.
Liu Da was riding on his horse and bragging to his brothers: "That day, when the young master entered the shop, he said, 'This shop will be named Liu from today on.' Hey, guess what, the shopkeeper knelt down on the spot.
Already."
"Young Master is really majestic, but what happened next?" Manager Hu's tone was full of flattery.
"Later? Later, the shop naturally returned to our Liuzhuang, haha." Liu Datou did not look back. Listening to Manager Hu's flattering tone, he rode on horseback in the snow towards Liangzhou City with his head held high.
A guard walking at the end of the team was about to ask Liu Da, who was walking at the front, about his young master's 'feat'. Suddenly, he felt a cold wind blowing behind him, and he was about to look back. His eyes went dark, and his neck tightened.
He tilted and lost consciousness. Liu Da and his group who were walking in front were not aware of it.
Gu Xiao hid the unconscious follower behind a tree, took off his belt and tied him to the tree. Looking ahead, Liu Da and his entourage were still riding horses and bragging without noticing. He felt relieved and said,
Zongzhixun rose into the sky again and headed towards the group of people again.
"Let me tell you, the young master only took half of the family property of the king, which is already an advantage for him." Liu Da was still talking on the horse about Mr. Liu's 'feat' these days, and the manager Wang didn't do anything.
He stopped and echoed. The two people didn't realize it at all. One by one, the people accompanying them were snatched away from the horse by Gu Xiao. After a while, only Liu Da and Wang Guanshi were left in the snow, still singing and singing.
Walking in the snow.
After another stick of incense, Liu Da, whose mouth was dry as he spoke, still didn't look back and ordered his subordinates: "I said, Liuzi, don't you have any eyesight?
Mr. Liu, I’ve said so much, take the wine from your horse and use it to moisten Mr. Liu’s throat, damn it.”
"Liuzi, did you hear me? Bring some wine and moisten Mr. Liu's throat." Manager Wang immediately followed suit.
After walking a few steps forward, Liu Dawei heard Liu Zi's reply, reined in his horse and shouted angrily: "Liu Zi, you are so fucking capable, Master Liu is so incompatible..." When he looked back, he was stunned.
Standing on the spot, that 'reason' swallowed it alive.
When Manager Wang saw Liu Da looking like he had seen a ghost, he couldn't help but wondered: "Master Liu, how can you..." As he spoke, he looked in the direction Liu Da was looking at.
It became an expression as big as a willow tree.
The people behind him disappeared, leaving only a horse in the snow. The darkness set off by the snow behind him seemed to have transformed into the mouth of an abyss, swallowing up the people who were accompanying him.
At this moment, Manager Wang was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he was trembling all over. He could not even ride the horse steadily. He was trembling and wanted to ride the horse to escape back to Liuzhuang, but he trembled and fell off the horse. His face was full of tears.
Covered with snow, he trembled and said to Liu Da: "Master Liu, is this... an encounter with a monster?"
At this moment, Liu Da didn't know whether it was because of the cold weather or the scene in front of him. His face was pale and bloodless. But after all, Liu Da had practiced some martial arts. He knew that the person in front of him was so scared that his legs were weak.
Manager Wang had no hope, so he forced himself to calm down, walked quickly to the horse, and took out his sword. He didn't know where to defend himself, so he could only shout loudly at the surroundings: "Who are you pretending to be here?
I am Liuzhuang Nursing Home."
Liu Da's loud voice shouted at this time. It had long lost the confidence to be domineering in the foot shop during the day. It was floating in the silent snow, and it seemed particularly helpless. The unknown is the real fear, even though it is winter,
Liu Da's back was soaked with cold sweat, and the hand holding the knife gradually became numb, but Liu Da still kept spinning to prevent sudden attacks from the darkness.
"Ahem." A cough broke the solemn atmosphere. A thin figure slowly came out of the darkness. It was Gu Xiao who had his cheeks covered. At this moment, Gu Xiao had put his dark-colored cloak back on and removed the pocket of the cloak.
He put on his hat, with the creamy white lining on the outside, to prevent Liu Da from seeing it and remembering the color of the cloak he was wearing in the foot shop.
Liu Da looked intently at the footprints left by Gu Xiao in the snow, and decided in his heart that as long as Gu Xiao was a human being and not a ghost, it would be easy. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, Liu Da leaned on the ground with his knife,
He bowed respectfully to Gu Xiao and said: "Junior Liu Da, I would like to say hello to senior. I don't know why senior is looking for junior and his party in this secret of the deep snow forest. If senior is short of silver for a while, junior has some money, so I can give it to senior as a filial piety."
After Liu Da finished speaking, he quickly winked at Manager Wang who was lying on the ground. Obviously, Liu Da regarded Gu Xiao as a robber who was blocking the road. Manager Wang became more agile at this moment and hurriedly took all the banknotes from his arms.
He took out all the broken silver and put it together with the money in Liu Da's hand. He staggered to Gu Xiao's side. Seeing that Gu Xiao didn't reach out to take it, he dared to put it at Gu Xiao's feet and quickly ran over.
Liu Da hid behind him.
Gu Xiao looked at the banknotes and broken silver at his feet, which amounted to hundreds of taels. He made up his mind and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "You two juniors, you think you can spend a thousand miles with just a hundred taels."
Walking alone 'Quan Boguang?".
"Eh? Wasn't that thief caught by an unknown boy?" Manager Wang was the fastest. He learned the news from the maid in the courtyard. Hearing someone mention it, he couldn't help but blurt out this fast-talking person.
Liu Tianzi knew the taboos of people in the world, so he didn't hesitate to throw his life here, and slapped Steward Wang in the face. How could a housekeeper like Steward Wang, who had no strength with his hands, bear such strong hands that he had practiced boxing and kicking?
Damn, this slap in the face made Steward Wang’s eyes flash with stars, his ears were buzzing, and he was speechless for a long time.
Liu Da hurriedly apologized to Gu Xiao: "Senior, don't blame me. I have already taught this ignorant thing a lesson for you."
Gu Xiao didn't expect that the news about Quan Boguang, who was caught by him, had spread. He couldn't continue his method of confusing the public. He rolled his eyes and continued in a suppressed voice: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Do you think this is all?
It’s time to send away Quan Boguang’s younger brother, Quan Tuoguang, who is traveling alone in a hundred miles. Since you two have heard of my brother’s name, I’ll get straight to the point. I passed by outside the city today and saw a young girl.
He is handsome and charming. I saw him following you all into Liuzhuang. I will take away the girl tonight. You two, tell me where she is in the village."
Liu Da and Manager Wang looked at each other, hearing that the deep voice of "Quan Tuoguang" was already old. He actually came not for money, but for the girl in green clothes that the young master brought back today.
Liu Daxin said, if the girl's whereabouts were told to this person at this time, if he kidnapped the girl from the house, and his young master found out that he had revealed the information, his life would not be guaranteed, so Zhan Zhanwei walked toward 'Quan Tuoguang'
Said: "Senior Quan, please forgive me for admonishing this junior. Our Liuzhuang is also famous in Liangzhou. With the skills of our seniors, if you are willing to join our Liuzhuang, you will definitely be reused by the owner of the Liuzhuang. By then, what will happen?"
There are all the girls." After saying that, Liu Da secretly looked at 'Izumi Takumit''s expression.
Just after he finished speaking, Liu Da felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and he also received a heavy slap on the cheek. The one who struck was none other than "Quan Takuguang" who was standing in the distance just now. Before he could recover, Liu Da struck out.
I heard that 'Quan Tuoguang' said coldly: "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. I will count to three. If you don't say anything, I will kill both of you now."
Manager Wang, whose face was swollen by Liu Da just now, couldn't speak. He lay on the ground and could only make a whining sound. He pulled Liu Da's clothes hard and signaled Liu Da to tell the evil star in front of him quickly, otherwise he would
The two lives of Liu Da and I are really sealed here.
Liu Dashi didn't even see clearly how Quan Tuoguang took action. After receiving this slap, he immediately understood that it was easy for Quan Senior to kill both of them, but with the methods of his own master, he couldn't
I knew it all in my heart, but when I was in trouble, I just heard 'Quan Tuoguang' whispering: "One."
"The girl is in the young master's courtyard. From here, all the way west is Liuzhuang. The second largest courtyard in the southwest corner of Liuzhuang is the residence of my young master. Senior, you can go there by yourself. If you still can't find her after entering the village, then
But just look for the two lions made of pure gold in front of the courtyard. My young master has given orders tonight that all the guardians are not in the courtyard. Seniors can go in with peace of mind. There are three guardians everywhere in the village. Each one
There is a change of guard every hour, and there is a stick of incense time during the change of guard. Senior can sneak in at that time, and please spare your life. What I tell is the truth, please don't kill me. I have an eighty-year-old mother above me, and another below.
.." Before Gu Xiao could read the word 'two', Liu Da, who was tall and tall, was like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, sobbing and telling Gu Xiao the details of his young master's residence without any 'spine'.
Before they finished speaking, Liu Da and Manager Wang felt a heavy blow on the back of their necks. Their eyes went dark and they fainted. Gu Xiao still took off their belts and tied them tightly to the tree.
When he was about to leave, he looked back at the broken pieces of banknotes on the ground, laughed to himself and said, "Now that you have packed it, let's pretend it looks like something." He put away the money, carried it to Qixun in the snow, and headed towards Liuzhuang.
