Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself

"He lied."

"Lied?"

The Poison Hand Medicine King had always stood aside as a spectator, but until Ximen Chuixue had gone away, he suddenly appeared again.

"The little old man has met countless people in his life. Although I can't say that he has a sharp eye, he is quite experienced. He is not good at lying, so he can tell at a glance.

Ximen Chuixue was so arrogant in his life, especially after the Battle of the Forbidden City. His fame and prestige have reached their peak, but he was able to quietly retreat during that period of time, disappearing into the tide of the world and disappearing from the world. This is enough to prove that he is a tough and proud person.

I don't care too much about fame and prestige.

This is a person's nature and it is unlikely to change. Just like Wu Xingyun, even though her appearance has returned to its original state, her nature is still stubborn and vicious, treating human life as nothing.

This is the nature of a person.

It can only be temporarily hidden.

But it can never be hidden.

So I said he lied.

With his arrogance, he would kill the third sword whether it could kill you or not, but he didn't do that.

Do you know why? "

The poisonous hand medicine king said something magical, as if he knew Ximen Chuixue very well.

Wu Gong was silent for a moment.

"It's not that he doesn't have the ability to cut me off, but he is afraid of killing me. His target has never been the Dragon Slaying Sword. His target is actually me. It is very likely that Yin Susu really told him about the Dragon Slaying Sword. Regarding the treatment of diseases, Dai Qisi would tell him succinctly and clearly that the dragon-slaying knife could not cure the disease, and it was me who cured the disease, because she understood that top masters in the world like Ximen Chuixue.

There is no need to tell any lies.

Lying will bring side effects to me.

Ximen Chuixue didn't know if all this was true, so he wanted to test it.

He pretended that he wanted to borrow a dragon-slaying knife.

But in fact, he didn't even see the Dragon Sword's face, and he left without even testing whether the Dragon Slaying Sword could cure cold poison. He wasn't very good at lying, but he resolutely chose to lie. For such a person who lives by swords, he must have encountered something forced to become like this.

Or could it be that the person he wanted to save was very important to him.

Could it be that even a person like Ximen Chuixue could be emotional? "

The Poison Hand Medicine King grinned and said, "No one in this world can live alone. Even those who are pursuing a certain path cannot live alone. Everyone needs communication and emotions. With support, you will meet the person you need at a special moment. Hehehehe! Brother, you are going to be prosperous. Although Ximen Chuixue’s reputation is no longer what it was back then. But who in the world doesn’t know that his sword is The best sword in the world is the sharpest sword. It is no exaggeration to say that owning Ximen Chuixue's sword is equivalent to owning the sharpest weapon."

Wu Gong curled his lips and said: "I just think he is pitiful. He has been obsessed with swordsmanship for so many years and must have lived a very lonely life. He didn't think too much about other things. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If I can save someone's life, I will usually help."

Green light flashed on the palm.

The wheel slowly squirmed and returned to its original state under the green light.

Wu Gong raised his head and glanced at the sun in the sky.

At this moment, it was almost dark.

It's better to find a place to stay quickly. He doesn't want to continue living in the wilderness.

I took a look at the map and saw a small shop on a hill not far ahead.

Let's stay there tonight.

The carriage continued on the road, and it took about half an hour to reach the large car shop built next to the hill.

The size of this big car shop doesn't look very big.

There are two wooden buildings one behind the other, surrounded by a wooden fence in the middle.

Can't see anything in the yard.

There was another layer of fence surrounding the big car shop, and there was a broken well next to the fence.

However, there are quite a few tourists in this large workshop.

The stables at the door were filled with all kinds of tall horses and carriages.

Haven't had time to get closer.

A faint smell of meat began to linger in the air.

He looked up at the signboard flag.

Yellow beef buns.

It turned out to be Chinese, not Xixia.

Wu Gong pursed his lips.

"This place is close to the Silk Road. There are often Han people who have escaped here, and they use the Silk Road to do some small businesses. Some will open teahouses, and some will open large car shops like this. However, Be careful, there are no rules here, and Xixia people can't control it regardless of the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, most of the shops are black shops, so it's better to be careful." Li Mochou stayed in Xixia for a long time. After a period of time, I have become quite familiar with such a large car shop.

"It doesn't matter what kind of black shop this place is, the poisonous hand medicine king around us can remove all the poisons, so what are we afraid of?" Wu Gong pointed to the poisonous hand medicine king who got off the carriage.

The old man smiled and said nothing more.

Soon the carriage entered the carriage shop.

"It's not that I don't want to prepare a house for you, sir. It's because we really can't accommodate more people now. All the houses are already booked. Otherwise, you can park the carriage in the yard. It can block the wind at night, and we have ready-made chains and nails here to help you set up the tent in the yard, so you don’t have to worry about the car and tent blowing away at night.”

The shopkeeper who opened this large car shop was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties.

After taking a look, the open space between the two small buildings was already filled with tents and carriages.

Only a small piece of open space remained.

Li Mochou nodded and said, "Then let's get a few sets of cleaner tents and pile them up together! In addition, whatever food is available here has been brought for us. Don't bring those white meats. If you dare to go there, don't blame me for burning you." Home store!”

Before ordering, Wu Gong and others occupied two tables in advance.

The Five Lotus Buddha Mother went to set up a tent, and by the way, she made contact with the local White Lotus believers.

The tables around me were almost full of people.

Wu Gong was a little curious.

Even if this big car shop is indeed the only big car shop within ten miles.

But it’s not so lively!

Although this place is also on the Silk Road, it is not in the central section of the Silk Road. It is a side road. It will take an extra seven or eight days to enter the Song Dynasty from here.

"Have you heard? The last caravan that entered the hills was attacked by tigers again. I heard that there were heavy casualties. Twenty or thirty people of No. 70 or 80 died, and they were all picked up by the tigers. The bodies were all We couldn’t find it, we only found a few bones.”

"Well, the road in this place is the most difficult. Every time I get here, I have to wait here. It takes a long time to accumulate enough people and horses to form a caravan to cross the hills in front. Especially since the Song Dynasty recently blocked the border, we have to It is really becoming more and more difficult to do this business if we can take a long detour to enter the Song Dynasty from the border road. The cost is already high, and now we have to take such a long detour. I was originally worried about bandits and robbers, but now You still have to worry about tigers.”

"Who says it's not the case? I've been robbed by bandits and bandits several times on this trip, and the manpower is already insufficient. If a few more guys die, I'm afraid we won't even be able to transport the goods on the remaining road. I heard Said, it turns out there are not so many tigers in this place, only one.

It was all caused by a man who killed a tiger on the mountain.

I heard that it turned out to be a tigress that had just given birth to a cub. There is a saying that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The tigress happened to have given birth to two cubs, a male and a female. However, when they came out to look for food, they were beaten to death by a strong man passing by with three punches and two kicks.

After the death of the mother tiger, the cubs had no choice but to grow on their own without the care of their mother. They were bullied by the wild beasts in the mountains. Later, the two tigers did not separate, but gathered more and more tigers to help each other. The advantage of this tiger group makes the entire mountain occupy the king's territory.

This led to the birth of this tiger group. "

“That person is really reckless, so why can’t we eradicate it?

We must not leave such a scourge behind.

Who says it's not?

Originally, this restaurant also had a sign called Three Bowls of Wine, which means that a person who has finished three bowls of wine cannot walk up the hill in front of him.

But since the tigers appeared, no matter whether they drank three bowls of wine or not.

Can't even get out.

Only by gathering a caravan of at least several hundred people can it be possible to safely cross the hills ahead. "

Most of the people sitting in this hall are discussing this matter.

After all, most of the people who arrive here are not ordinary travelers, but merchants escorting goods.

Therefore, for them, the most important thing is to transport the goods to the place where they are to be sold.

Of course Wu Gong was a little dazed after hearing this.

It turns out that there are so many travelers and businessmen gathered here not because this road is so busy, but because there is a checkpoint ahead. Only when enough people gather can they dare to pass the level ahead together.

"Come here, come here, the yellow beef buns you want, plus twenty kilograms of cooked beef, and four jars of rice wine." The waiter carried the buns, beef, and four wine jars behind him to the table next to him. .

Sitting there were four men covered in black robes. Just from their burly bodies, it is easy to tell that they are definitely not ordinary people. They should all be masters in the world. Each of them has a sword beside them. It is easy to tell from the gorgeous scabbard on the sword. These swords must be very expensive.

It was as if he noticed Wu Gong's gaze.

A man tilted his head slightly.

Wu Gong smiled, cupped his hands and looked away. The waiter had already handed them the things on the table.

It's a big car shop that doesn't open in this wilderness, but it's very rich in supplies.

It seems that every table requires a lot of beef buns and cooked beef.

At least three or four cows must be killed every day to supply enough.

However, this place is close to the Mongolian grassland, and the Mongolians often sell the cattle and sheep that the tribe can't eat in exchange for other precious resources.

Therefore, it is normal for this place to produce so much beef.

"These four people are the killers of Qingyi Tower, and they are holding the four swords of Dragnet!" Because Li Mochou has been in Qingyi Tower for a while, she naturally knows the most powerful killer of Qingyi Tower in Xixia. .

"It seems that they also want to pass the post! But I didn't expect that they would also be stopped here. It seems that the tigers in front are not easy to deal with."

Wu Gong picked up a beef bun and stuffed it into his mouth carelessly: "Let's rest here for one night and set off tomorrow morning. If there are really any tigers ahead, I hope they'd better show up, so I can I might as well make a tiger fur coat for each of you."

"Okay!" There seemed to be light in Su Quan's eyes.

She is different from Li Mochou. Su Quan is the wife of the leader of the Shenlong Sect. She has always been well-dressed and well-fed, wearing the best clothes and wearing the best jewelry. During this time, she was sleeping in the open air with the I have long been tired of wearing a few pieces of clothing.

I originally said that after entering Xixia City, I could buy some Western-style clothes.

Unexpectedly, Xixia City burned down inexplicably.

I have no choice but to wait until I return to Song Dynasty to buy some new clothes.

Speaking of which, Su Quan had owned quite a few coats, but she had never had a tiger-skin coat. This made her feel very novel and excited. She pulled Li Mochou and began to describe the coats she had owned. , and started to draw a sketch, preparing to design it myself.

The poisonous hand medicine king was not interested in the beef and steamed buns on the table.

He was very interested in the rice wine.

This guy is actually an old drunkard.

Of course, it is also possible that the rice wine is very pure.

After he drank a bowl, he held the jar and started drinking guzzlingly. In the blink of an eye, all the two jars of wine brought on the table went into his stomach.

The Five Lotus Buddha Mothers came in from outside. They had already arranged the carriage and tent, and had established contact with the local White Lotus believers. They reached out and placed an envelope in front of Wu Gong, and the five of them sat down and started eating.

When people in the hall saw five identical women walking in from the outside, they were naturally curious and cast their eyes over them frequently. When I see a table full of beautiful women, I will look at them more frequently in the future.

Wu Gong was a little unhappy.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of chopsticks. In front of everyone, he crushed the chopsticks into sawdust and dumped them on the ground beside him.

This time, most of the eyes shrank back.

He reached out and picked up the envelope on the table.

After looking at it for a few times, Wu Gong covered his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Li Mochou took the envelope and the expression on her face became a little strange.

She handed the envelope to Wang Yuyan.

Wang Yuyan was talking quietly to Zhao Tianyou.

He was suddenly stunned when he saw Li Mochou hand over the letter.

Then his face was full of indignation: "He is dreaming!" (End of Chapter)
