The Heavens: Thousands of Households Starting from Number One in the World

Chapter 17 Dragon Gate Inn Gold Inlaid Jade

The wind and sand in the desert scrape as often as they want, like a sand knife constantly scraping Meng Jing's face, making his face extremely dry, and his mouth is as thirsty as a burning fire.

Looking at the two-storey bungalows not far away from the smoke rising from the kitchen, and seeing the canvas with Dragon Inn written on it hanging on a wooden pole, Meng Jing's eyes glowed with longing as if seeing a savior.

In order to arrive earlier than Qiu Moyan and the others, Meng Jing hurried all the way, even in the starry night, just to have enough time to coordinate the layout at Longmen.

Not only did he want military talismans, but he also wanted to wipe out Cao Shaoqin and others.In the movie, Cao Shaoqin brought a large team of arrows in black. Maybe Meng Jing could kill Cao Shaoqin alone, but he couldn’t remove all of Cao Shaoqin’s men. Stand by.

Longmen Inn, a legendary, dark and bloody inn is right in front of you.

……

When he was about to arrive at the Longmen Inn, Meng Jing's mind would see gold inlaid jade singing on the top of the inn, and he would lead a white horse, and a young master in white clothes would appear, and then relying on his handsome appearance, gold inlaid jade would appear. Conquer and let him join his camp, but Meng Jing walked to the inn and looked at the empty roof.

Meng Jing looked around the inn, except for the camels and horses locked in the stables, no one was walking outside the inn.

The front entrance of Longmen Inn is very small, because the desert is always windy and sandy, and the doors and windows are smaller to prevent windy sand from blowing into the inn.

Standing outside the wooden door nailed together by wooden boards, Meng Jing could already hear all kinds of laughter inside, rough, wanton...everything.

At this moment, there was wind and sand blowing on the desert, but it was not strong, and the wooden door was not locked inside. Meng Jing directly pushed the wooden door open, and when the wooden door turned, there was a harsh friction sound of crackling.

The moment Meng Jing pushed the door and entered, no matter whether it was a drinking business traveler, a negotiating black dealer, a bragging soldier, or a wanted criminal who was planning a route out of the inn, they all looked at the inn at the same time.

All eyes were on Meng Jing.Eyes with scrutiny, vigilance, and worry...

Meng Jing was wearing a black robe stained with dust, with a knife on his waist, not an embroidery knife, a bamboo hat on his head, and a bag on his back. shake violently.

Under everyone's gaze, Meng Jing walked into the inn and shouted in a flat voice, "Where's the shopkeeper of the inn?"

"I'm coming!"

Hearing a soul-stirring voice came, a woman wearing the unique clothes of the desert came from another table and flew over deftly, and landed in front of Meng Jing after a few feet away.

Jin Xiangyu's complexion is yellowish due to living in the desert all year round, her figure is graceful, her eyes are as watery as if they are captivating, and her pair of white and neat teeth open up and down
"Does the guest officer want to leave the customs or stay in the hotel? Or hit the tip?"

Jin Xiangyu is the proprietress of the Longmen Inn, relying on her control of secret passages and border generals to run a black shop for profit.

Meng Jing stared at the woman in front of him, and the woman in front of him was also looking at Meng Jing.

In fact, it doesn't matter if Jin Xiangyu observes him, and it doesn't matter if he stares at the luggage behind him with naked eyes.

Just why did she look disappointed after seeing my face?Meng Jing couldn't understand it.

Meng Jing touched his face involuntarily... um... next time he will have to change to a handsome mask. To be on the safe side, he has prepared several human skin masks in his luggage, but it's a pity that they are all public faces.

"Come to the upper room."

"How many days does the guest plan to stay? The little girl Jin Xiangyu is the owner of the only inn within a radius of fifty miles." Jin Xiangyu said with a smile.

"Good name, shopkeeper. I have an appointment with my friends. I will wait for them here. As for how many days? I will leave naturally when I wait."

"So that's how it is, guest officer, please sit down and drink tea."

Jin Xiangyu smiled openly, and ordered the waiter to wipe a table and chairs clean, and asked Meng Jing to sit down.

Meng Jing looked at the gold inlaid jade propped on the table with her arms, looked at the other party's charming eyes all the time, and asked with a smile: "Is there something wrong with the shopkeeper?"

"Guest officer, I see that your luggage seems to be quite heavy, do you want a little girl to help you unload it?" The gold inlaid jade hands dishonestly touched under the luggage behind Meng Jing, and lifted it vigorously.

The gold inlaid jade was quite a shock, if it was all silver and gold, it would be a big profit.

Coming to the border alone, Jin Xiangyu met many people, most of whom were wanted by the imperial court, intending to leave Daming through Longmenguan.

"No need."

Meng Jing patted Jin Xiangyu's tender little hand away, then took off the luggage from behind, and placed it next to him, pretending to protect the luggage with one hand.

Meng Jing's actions instantly attracted a dozen gangsters from the other side of the inn who had been going to the border all year round. The eyes of the gangsters shot out, with greed in their eyes.

Meng Jing's actions have already told them that these hyenas have something good in their pockets!Come and grab it.

Jin Xiangyu smiled embarrassingly, and wanted to ask something to get information on Meng Jing's identity, but was interrupted by a strong man at another table in the inn.

With a sound of bouncing, the big palm of the strong man slapped the already unstable table heavily, raising a burst of dust. The strong man's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Miss Boss, we haven't finished our business yet, right?"

Jin Xiangyu was frightened by the sudden sound, and immediately turned into a fierce woman and cursed at the strong man

"Damn it, if you really want to beg my wife for a touch of red, please be kind and sincere, and she will help you when she is happy. And listen to all of you, my mother told you that the frontier position thirty miles away Master Qianhu and I are old acquaintances, please be honest with me!"

With a touch of red, Meng Jing knew this person.

When he was in the capital, Meng Jing asked Jin Yiwei to investigate the information about Longmen, including the wanted criminals who illegally fled in Longmen, and Yimhong was among them.

Yi Mohong was born in Longnan, his exact name is unknown, the imperial court offered a reward of 500 taels of silver for his head, for committing the crime of killing an official ordered by the imperial court.

He was obsessed with money, entered and robbed, killed the whole family of a county magistrate, and fled with a large amount of money. Later, someone witnessed this person haunting the Longbei area, which is near the desert.

Yi Mohong paid attention to the gazes around him, suppressed his anger and said, "How about 100 taels? I'll give you 100 taels and you help me."

"Is 100 taels sending beggars away? My old lady even managed to get you more than 100 taels, and you want to leave the customs with 100 taels? Stop dreaming!" Jin Xiangyu sneered: "I tell you, during this time, Longmen Pass is only allowed to enter Don’t go out, it’s more expensive than ever to get out now.”

A touch of red means that Jin Xiangyu wants to establish a relationship with the defenders of Longmen Pass, and let him leave the pass and leave Daming.But the chances of exchanging 100 taels for getting out of customs are really pitiful, and Meng Jing couldn't help laughing.

Both greedy for money, but also cherish life.

Meng Jing's laughter annoyed her and rushed out of the customs, but she couldn't get out, and was insulted by Jin Xiangyu's words, her heart was already full of anger.

It is almost impossible for the most wanted criminals to get out of customs. Moreover, a touch of red head is worth 500 taels.

Therefore, Yi Mohong can only turn to Jin Xiangyu, who is related to the guards of Longmen Gate, for help, hoping to give some money to Jin Xiangyu to help.

Hearing Meng Jing's laughter, a flash of red anger was instantly ignited, and he yelled at Meng Jing ferociously.

"Boy, what are you laughing at? I'll tear your mouth apart when you're laughing!"

"Hehe, you want to get out of the customs with 100 taels? If the shopkeeper helps you, it will be a big loss!" Meng Jing said casually.

Jin Xiangyu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't know that Yi Mohong was a wanted criminal.

100 taels?She bah!
But what does it mean to lose a lot?
Meng Jing's words were like ice water splashing on his red face, which frightened him into a fright, and he stared at Meng Jing with vigilant eyes.

"who are you?"

"Actually, I just heard that there are often wanted criminals haunting the Longmen Inn, and I'm short of money recently. You should understand the meaning." Meng Jing said with a smile.

"you!"

A touch of red blushed at this time, pulled out a half-foot-long machete, and rushed towards Meng Jing with red eyes, wanting to chop off Meng Jing's head.The reason why Yi Mohong was so anxious was that once Meng Jing revealed the amount of reward he offered, would he have a life in this Longmen Inn?
500 taels?Ordinary people in the capital make huge sums of money that they would not have earned in ten lifetimes.

A touch of red acted resolutely and madly, as if Meng Jing had killed his father and enemy and humiliated his wife and enemy, making everyone in the inn confused. Kill me?

But Jin Xiangyu is not a good person, so he stood aside and watched, as for Meng Jing?

It's just a chance meeting, and when you die, you die.

In the Longmen Inn, she was used to the conflicts that often occurred due to the grievances and interests of the world. As long as the scale did not reach the level of damage to the inn, she didn't have to take action to reconcile it. Everyone met by chance and deserved to draw their swords to help?

Do you have to say it's worth it?That is whether the money in the other party's pocket is worth it!

With red eyes and red eyes, he jumped up holding the machete. The machete radiated a cold chill in the inn, and the knife fell and slashed towards Meng Jing's neck.

In the eyes of the onlookers, they thought that Meng Jing was about to separate the head, but they saw Meng Jing raised a hand, separated two fingers, and clamped the heavy blade.

Ding... the sound echoed in the inn.

Everyone was stunned, looking at the blade between Meng Jing's fingers in disbelief.

Panting heavily, Yi Mo Hong frantically pulled out the handle of the knife, trying to pull it out of Meng Jing's fingers.

It's a pity that a touch of red couldn't be pulled out of Meng Jing's fingers that were as strong as a mountain, and a touch of red couldn't help roaring crazily.

Meng Jing smiled, and then the inner strength gushed out of her body, and her two fingers were squeezed together, and then everyone saw the machete shattered like glass, and the fragments of the blade remaining between the fingers were dangling in the void in their hands.

When everyone saw the fragments of the blade left between Meng Jing's fingers, they all inadvertently stepped back and wanted to find something to cover.

A touch of red was extinguished from the anger, and his eyes were full of infinite fear at the moment, before he could turn around and run away, a cold light flashed in his red eyes, and he felt a pain in his chest.

The broken blade pierced through a red chest, pierced with blood from its back, and finally embedded itself in the corner of the inn roof with a hiss.

Immediately, his red body fell to the ground.

"Such a tall and strong man, why is it not useful?" Meng Jing sighed.

There was a dead silence in the inn, and the gangsters who wanted to catch Meng Jing's attention hurriedly hid their weapons, for fear of being discovered by Meng Jing.This brief scene shocked Jin Xiangyu greatly, and Jin Xiangyu, who possessed martial arts, could know that the martial arts of the person in front of him was top-notch in the world.

Judging by the slight internal force that Meng Jing revealed when he crushed a red blade, Meng Jing is definitely a master!
"The shopkeeper?"

When Meng Jing's voice came, at first Jin Xiangyu was thinking in a daze and didn't even hear Meng Jing's call. She didn't react until the guy beside her poked her waist, and said with a charming smile: "Guest officer!" What are your orders?"

I will use you.

Meng Jing turned her head to stare at Jin Xiangyu, and Jin Xiangyu found that Meng Jing's gaze was not at all like the scrutiny of the two parties just now, but like a fierce tiger, a tiger that could devour her without leaving even a scum.

The old lady should not have been offered a reward by the court, right?Probably not, my wife is relatively clean in her work, and besides, the imperial court hardly cares about the place like Longmen.

"Trouble shopkeeper, take away the corpse!" Meng Jing said with a smile: "Remember to keep his head, and I will exchange it for a bounty!"

The corner of Jin Xiangyu's mouth twitched when he heard the words, isn't this a blow to her?With such a ruthless person staying here, who would dare to stay in her inn?
But Jin Xiangyu cleverly did not express the sadness in his heart, and then smiled like a flower, with admiration in his eyes and said: "The guest officer can eradicate the important criminals of the court, and it will also remove the scourge for our Longmen area. We all have to thank the guest officer. ..."

Listening to the nonsense of Jin Xiangyu, Meng Jing didn't care, so she went to the guest room prepared by the inn.

Seeing Meng Jing enter the house and close the door, Jin Xiangyu's playful face immediately sank.

"Shopkeeper, this guy is a ruthless man! Shall we do something tonight? He touched a few hundred taels of red just now." The bearded guy beside him whispered into Jin Xiangyu's ear.

"I'll go meet him tonight and find out his details." Jin Xiangyu frowned, with serious eyes.
