Chapter 174: city of sunset

Views:

After all, Qian Mian is a person who walks the rivers and lakes, not to mention that he has gathered a lot of contacts in the ten halls of Yama before, and knows a lot of ways. Rao is now that Yama of the Ten Palaces has been exterminated by the imperial court, but the centipede is dead but not stiff, and Lu Rujing hastily left some ways, and there is no time to change them.

In the sandy belt of the border, there is an inn.

The male owner of the inn was originally a blacksmith, and later married the shopkeeper of the inn, and they became a family, so the blacksmith at the east end and the inn at the west end are the same.

Qian Mian went to the smithy, and glanced at the blacksmith who was stroking his arms and hammering the iron, "Two taels of pig iron and three taels of molten iron are sold together at a low price. Is one tael enough?"

The blacksmith was taken aback for a moment, and looked ahead in disbelief, "Genius doctor? Why are you?"

"Why not me?" Qianmian sighed, looking around in the wind and sand, "You are happy, you have relieved the burden on your shoulders, and come here to be free, marry a wife and have children."

The blacksmith smiled honestly, "Thanks to you, I saved my life so that I have the opportunity to have such peace. Genius doctor, what's wrong with you? It's not a good thing to come here."

People who walk in the rivers and lakes, unless they encounter difficulties, who will come here to eat the wind and sand? He must have committed something, or was chased and killed, and had to run out of the customs, trying to survive!

"You can see this Lu Rujing?" Qian Mian asked.

The blacksmith shook his head, "I've never been here before."

Qianmian was surprised, "Hasn't been here? Then how did he get out?"

Seeing the people behind Qianmian, the blacksmith hesitated.

"Come here!" Qianmian whispered.

The blacksmith rushed forward, and Qian Mian murmured in his ear for a while, causing the blacksmith to almost kneel down to Shen Muxi, but was finally grabbed by Qian Mian, "Come on, don't even look at this place. "

"Yes, yes, yes!" The blacksmith smiled silly, "Then, are you going to leave the customs?"

Shen Muxi stepped forward, "It's true that Lu Rujing hasn't been here?"

The blacksmith shook his head affirmatively, and led them towards the inn, "In the early years, you had to go through our route when you left the customs, but later the government made strict investigations, and gradually no one came, and they all changed their way. "

"Where did you change it?" Qian Mian asked.

The blacksmith thought for a while, "Then you have to ask my mother-in-law."

After entering the door, there are many diners sitting in the lobby of the inn. The shopkeeper is walking around the hall with his hair in a bun and his waist twisted, occasionally chatting and laughing with the guests.

"Father!" The little girl rushed forward, shouting in a childish voice.

The blacksmith picked up the child and smiled triumphantly, "My daughter."

"It's so beautiful!" Shen Muxi praised.

Hearing this, the strong man also blushed, "Follow the child's mother, she is beautiful!"

After finishing speaking, the blacksmith called out, "Daughter-in-law, come here!"

"Hey, here we come!" The shopkeeper withdrew from the guest table with a smile, walked towards the crowd, and looked at the outfits in front of him, frowned involuntarily, and looked at his man suspiciously, " Master, what's going on?"

The blacksmith put his daughter on the table, "This is my savior back then. These are friends of my benefactor. Arrange them to stay here first. I will tell you slowly about the rest."

The female shopkeeper smiled and nodded, "Understood! Come along, everyone!"

Not only her man's savior, but also her savior.

"The place is simple, don't dislike it!" The female shopkeeper led the crowd up to the second floor. There are some earthen kilns built with earth and rocks, but they are very good against wind. !"

"Thank you!" Shen Muxi nodded respectfully.

"You sit down first, I'll get you some water!" The female shopkeeper turned and left, and when she walked through the corridor, she didn't forget to throw a smile at the joking customers below, "Delicious and delicious, if you don't have enough, just talk .”

"The shopkeeper is so polite, how can we be polite to you?"

Bottom, roared with laughter.

Yue Gui's hearing was a bit harsh, and he looked at Qian Mian in puzzlement, "What the hell is this place?"

"This is the only way to go outside the pass. The strange thing is, why didn't Lu Rujing pass by here? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be." Qianmian scratched his head, "Could it be that Lu Rujing deliberately took a detour because he was afraid of being discovered?"

"It was the blacksmith who lied." Bo Yunxiu said with a cold face.

Qian Mian was surprised, "How do you know? I saved that blacksmith's life, how could he lie to me?"

"Didn't you see that something happened to him, do you want to go back and ask your wife?" Bo Yunxiu sighed softly, "This place is in charge of this woman, and this woman is the key to everything. You have saved your life, but today The time is different from the past, and it is not the same!"

Shen Muxi narrowed her eyes, "You mean, Lu Rujing must have passed through here, and they let it go by themselves?"

"No one is more familiar with the affairs of the imperial court than me." Bo Yunxiu said with a cold face, "It is true that there is more than one way to go to Yingguo, but you have to have a document to leave the customs, and if you don't have a document, you have to take money. Form a chain, the big fish eat the small fish! Some people in the court have mentioned this, but most of them turned a blind eye."

"Why?" Shen Muxi was puzzled.

Bao Yunxiu led her to sit down, "The border is difficult, who wants to come here, if there is no benefit, do you really think you can keep people and officials? As long as you don't cause any big trouble and keep the border peaceful, the court will not make things difficult .”

"So the blacksmith is lying." Mi Li gritted his teeth, "What do these two want to do?"

"The man is a little hesitant because of Qianmian's life-saving grace, but that woman is different." Bo Yunxiu narrowed her eyes, "We have nowhere to go for the time being, and we will stay here tonight. Be vigilant. Find out first, who are they?" Let’s talk about how to send people out!”

Qian Mian has been silent all this time, and his complexion is extremely ugly. He probably never thought that the person he had treated with all his heart would turn out to be...

"Now you know what it's like to have your conscience eaten by a dog, right?" Han Busu smiled coldly, "How about it? Do you feel like a knife has been stabbed in your heart? Oh, it hurts so much that it's called a scratch." Heart scratching!"

Qian Mian glanced at her and said nothing.

"Senior Han?" Shen Muxi pursed her lips, "Stop talking."

"It deserves it!" Han Busu hummed a tune, apparently in a good mood.

Thinking about it, seeing Qian Mian's deflated look, most of the anger in her heart disappeared in an instant.

At night, the blacksmith and the shopkeeper waited with good food and drink.

After all the dishes on the table were served, no one dared to put down their chopsticks, but Han Busu took the lead, "Let me taste the taste first, yo, this sauced beef tastes good, and this wine, it tastes strong enough! "

Everyone was a little dazed when they saw her gorging themselves.

"Don't look at it, you're all chopsticks, this perspiration medicine is not enough, it will make you sleepy for a few hours at most, and you will be fine at dawn tomorrow!" Han Busu gnawed on the roast chicken, "I have been eating those poisons, really I'm bored, this will taste the fireworks in the world, but it's really good."

"Senior Han, eat slowly!" Shen Muxi hurriedly poured a glass of water.

"I don't want to drink water, I want to drink!" Han Busu was full of words, grinning happily with his dark teeth, "This wine is weak, and I have lost a little interest. Fortunately, wine is good wine, so why don't you drink it?" thing!"

At the door of the room, Mi Li and Yue Gui stood one on the left and one on the right, holding swords in their arms, looking coldly at the blacksmith and his wife, standing out as the door gods.

"Everyone, what kind of joke is this?" The blacksmith smiled honestly.

"Just kidding, do you think we are joking?" Since Han Busu didn't play the cards logically, Qianmian was naturally not polite, and he was already suffocating his anger, and this would make him gnash his teeth even more, "I don't ask you to show your kindness." Illustrated report, at least I got acquainted with it, if you don’t want to help, just explain it clearly, why use these little tricks to harm people?”

The blacksmith's smile gradually receded from his face, and finally turned into a stern expression, "You and Butang betrayed Yama of the Ten Palaces, and the chief rudder was taken down, so Mingjun had to take the young master to escape from the pass. Qianmian, you I have kindness to me, but Mingjun’s kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, how can I betray Mingjun for a villain like you!"

"Hey, a scum like Lu Rujing has such a loyal dog? It's amazing." Han Busu spat out a bone, "No, dogs are the most loyal and know how to tell right from wrong. How can you compare to them?"

"You!" The blacksmith gritted his teeth.

Han Busu chewed the sauced beef in his mouth, and smiled so disdainfully, "My mother has dealt with these things for most of her life. It is commonplace to eat poisonous insects, snakes and ants. Two ignorant juniors dare to show off in front of you. Expose you, that is The smoke from your ancestors is a blessing that has been cultivated in eight lifetimes. If you kneel down and kowtow twice to the old lady, the old lady will hold down the coffin boards of your ancestors' eighteen generations for you, or I will send you to worship your ancestors tonight!"

Everyone's eyes widened, this Han Busu's ability to curse people is really...

Shen Muxi originally wanted to say a few words, but now that she heard all this, she just let it go, or forget it, she really can't do such a happy curse.

What he said made the blacksmith and his wife blush, wishing they could go up and break her.

"What are you staring at? Who has bigger eyes than you now? You are a cow, and I am not a cow. If you have the ability to cut the meat of your body and drink with my old lady, if you dare to cut it, I will eat it!" Han Busu Nibbling beef sauce.

Although Shen Muxi and Bo Yunxiu have Phoenix Gu and Phoenix Gu, they are more or less afraid of Mongolian sweat medicine and Ruanjin powder. But Han Busu was different, Han Busu was riddled with poison, so even the sweat medicine and soft tendon powder had lost their effect on her.

"Why, why are you okay?" The female shopkeeper's face changed drastically, "You..."

"What's wrong!" Han Busu frowned, "I made it so clear, you are actually a deaf person, and you have a pair of protruding ears for nothing."

Qian Mian couldn't hold it back in the end, because of the emotional fluctuations on the faces of the blacksmith and his wife, he burst out laughing instantly, "Hahahaha... I can't hold back..."

"You..." The blacksmith suddenly shook his hands, several iron rings rolled out of his sleeves, and he took a stance.

"Hey, are you going to fight?" Han Busu hiccupped, "These things are all dirty, you'd better not move, pack them back for me later, don't waste it. You can't finish it, and my little ones something!"

little things

"What little thing?" The shopkeeper had two short knives in her hand, "The door is closed today, no one can escape!"

Bo Yunxiu snorted softly, thinking it was ridiculous, these idiots who overestimate their capabilities!

Who is Han Busu? It is true that she has lost her martial arts, but she still has Gu people, and all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes and ants. They are in the box at the door, and they are safe during the day, but at this moment...

Shen Muxi and Bo Yunxiu already felt the imminent move from the poisonous insects.

Sure enough, there was a rustling sound.

"Stand still." Shen Muxi said.

Bo Yunxiu flicked his sleeves to turn off the lights, and the lobby was instantly pitch black.

It takes time to get used to going from darkness to light, and the same goes for going from light to darkness.

Especially in the dark, there was a strange rustling sound, as if something crawled out from the ground, and was quickly surrounding the inn, and gradually... the sound sounded on the roof, on the windows, as well as in front of and behind him. .

Yue Gui and Mi Li tensed up, and instantly remembered the scene of Gu Mu Villa, and all the hairs on their bodies stood on end in an instant. That dark scene is really unforgettable for a lifetime!

"What's going on? What's going on?" the blacksmith cried out.

Bo Yunxiu's voice sounded faintly, "How did Lu Rujing get out of the customs? Where are you going now?"

The burly men surrounded outside instantly let out howls like killing a pig, the sound was shrill, and it looked particularly frightening in the dark night.

Waiting for the female shopkeeper to light the candle with a torch, seeing the scene in front of her again, she screamed in fright, "Insect? Insect!"

"Yo Yo, it's just a few bugs, and you're still so scared, how can you open a black shop?" Han Busu rolled his eyes and turned to look at Qian Mian, "Look at the good relationship you're looking for, one or two black hearts like you are there? Conscience, as expected like attracts like, I really didn't get out of this vicious circle of curse."

Qian Mian held his breath, "You can just scold them, but why scold me, I'm still wronged! They betrayed me, they're going to kill me, I even saved him!"

Han Busu drank a small wine, "I also saved you, and the result... this is called retribution! Are you happy?"

"You..." Qianmian picked up the cup, remembered what was in the cup, and put it down angrily.

"It's not easy to drink. I'll turn you into a Gu, so that you can drink happily." Han Busu tapped the table with his fingertips, and a black-green poisonous snake climbed onto the table. , quickly wrapped around her wrist.

She grinned at Qianmian, "Would you like a bite?"

Qianmian didn't dare to vent his anger, that's all... Now it's not just women's hearts that are poisonous, but Han Busu's whole body is poisonous.

"Where's Lu Rujing?" Han Busu's sharp nails pierced through the snake's body, took the snake's gall alive, and put the poisonous snake back on the table, letting it wander away with blood stains behind it.

The faces of the blacksmith and the female shopkeeper turned blue, watching all kinds of poisonous insects crawling all over their feet, circling around the two of them, cold sweat broke out immediately.

After soaking the snake gall in the wine, Han Busu raised his head and drank the wine in the glass together with the snake gall, "Or, try using your gall? Is my method of taking out the snake gall fast and ruthless? Is Lu Rujing faster than me? Believe it or not, as long as I make a move, you may not even feel the slightest pain."

"You..." The female shopkeeper panicked.

The shouting outside gradually disappeared, and finally returned to calm.

Bo Yunxiu sighed softly, stroked the wind with his palm, all the doors and windows around him opened instantly, and the black bugs swarmed in instantly. Where the bugs passed, there were many strong men who fell to the ground, all of them with blue complexions and foaming at the mouth .

"Don't challenge my patience." Han Busu knew that time was running out, "Where is Lu Rujing? We are going out."

"Okay!" The blacksmith hurriedly responded.

The woman yanked him violently, "Are you crazy?"

"Xi girl, where are the dominoes on your body?" Han Busu burped after eating and drinking, and stretched comfortably, "Take it out and show them!"

The domino is the symbol of the guardian patriarch. It is placed on the table and placed in the candlelight, so clear and dazzling.

"Patriarch?" The toughest one was a woman, and she was the first to kneel down, "Patriarch!"

"Have been making trouble for a long time, are you the guardian of the clan?" Mi Li frowned.

Shen Muxi's face darkened, "Since you know it, let's talk about it quickly. Lu Rujing was the culprit who killed the former patriarch and caused the family to be exterminated. I don't care what you promised Lu Rujing before. Now I am the guardian of the clan." The patriarch, I have something to say, so I won't say more. This Aunt Han is the daughter of the old patriarch, you should remember her!"

The woman's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Han Busu in disbelief, "The daughter of the old patriarch? Han Busu!"

But…

There is no similarity in voice, appearance and appearance.

"You girl, talk about yourself and talk about yourself, what prestige do you use me for?" Han Busu was a little unhappy, and as soon as he slapped the table, the poisonous insects, snakes and ants quickly evacuated, but in the blink of an eye, the dark scene completely disappeared.

"Are you really the patriarch of the guardian clan?" the woman raised her head and asked.

Yue Gui took a step forward, "If it wasn't for my master, the guardian clan would have been exterminated by the court. It was the master who pleaded with the emperor, and the emperor was able to pardon the crime of protecting the clan. Now all of them have returned to their homeland, and they will never step out of the mountains."

"Patriarch!" The woman cried, "My name is Luo Zhi. In the early years, the imperial court exterminated the clan guards, so I had to flee here. Later, Lu Rujing found me and said that he wanted me to settle here. It will be useful at that time." The place where you can get it. Be sure to open up the secret passage for entering and exiting, for reuse!"

"Where is Lu Rujing?" Shen Muxi asked coldly.

Luo Zhi said, "It's been a long time since I left the customs, and I took Lu Guizhou with me, but I see that Lu Guizhou seems to be unconscious, and I don't know if he has taken some medicine?"

"Get up first!" Shen Muxi's face darkened, "Lu Rujing really entered the Kingdom of Ying!"

"He said that Qianmian and Butang had already betrayed Yama of the Ten Palaces because of the glory and wealth promised by Li Wangfu, causing the remnants of the guards to die and flee, causing heavy casualties." Luo Zhi explained, "He He also said that the Longevity Gate has been wiped out by the imperial court, and now the entire imperial court is coming to the old department of Yama of the Ten Palaces, so we must be careful."

The blacksmith opened his mouth, and looked at Qian Mian with shame on his face, "I also told you that if you meet Mr. Qian Mian, you must, must... kill him to avoid future troubles."

"This bastard!" Qianmian yelled at the case, "His own conscience was eaten by a dog. He killed Han's second child, Han Busu, and the entire Hu Clan just to get the Hu Clan's genealogy. Face to say such a thing? Kill me? What the hell am I..."

"Do you want to poke your own eyes?" Han Busu asked, "After all, you are so blind, it's useless to have these eyes."

Qianmian gritted his teeth and trembled all over, "You..."

"Do you want to help?" Han Busu asked again, "Although I don't eat eyes, my ability to dig them out should be similar to that of snake gallbladders. I'm sure Mr. Bao is satisfied! Do you want to try it? If you are not satisfied... no money."

Qian Mian almost spat a mouthful of old blood on her face, this blunt knife killed people... how uncomfortable!

"Where do people go?" Shen Muxi asked.

"The person walks through the secret path, but the substitute goes in the opposite direction." Luo Zhi hurriedly echoed, "This is to deceive people."

"Don't worry, since you have found the direction, it will be much easier!" Bo Yunxiu held her hand tightly, "If you find Lu Rujing, you will find Zhao Lianyi sooner or later. This line can't be wrong."

Shen Muxi narrowed her eyes, "I'm afraid I'll be caught by them first."

"It's useless to be afraid." Bo Yunxiu turned to look at Luo Zhi, "Where's Zhao Lianyi?"

"I don't know!" Luo Zhi shook his head, "We didn't know that Zhao Lianyi had also left the customs."

With Han Tianming's body, it is not easy to keep it secret and keep it secret, not to mention that Zhao Lianyi's broken wrist will not get better in a while, unless... someone helps her? !

Who is the one

Bo Yunxiu didn't want to understand.

"Tomorrow, I'm going out!" Shen Muxi took back the dominoes.

"Yes!" Luo Zhi said firmly, "As long as the patriarch orders, Luo Zhi will die without regret!"

"Didn't you still call for beatings and killings before? This is a show of loyalty!" Qian Mian snorted lightly.

"If you've drunk Renzhongbai, you're not allowed to drink water?" Han Busu gave him a gouged look, "Do I have to learn from you and drink to the end?"

Qian Mian was panting for breath, and almost passed out, if this continues... sooner or later, he will be pissed off by this woman, so alive!

The next day, it was dawn.

Luo Zhi and the blacksmith handed the customs clearance document to Shen Muxi, "Everyone is here, we will take you through the secret path, these are just in case, in case something happens in Ying Kingdom , at least there is a document for self-defense."

"Okay!" Shen Muxi handed it to Yue Gui.

Yue Gui carefully inspected each one before handing it over to Mi Li.

Mi Li verified for the second time that it was a customs clearance document issued by the imperial court, and each party sent out a copy, and everyone kept it close to their bodies, just in case. Going to Ying country is considered leaving home, how dare you be careless!

"Let's go!" Luo Zhi led the way, "Patriarch, please step carefully, the cave is uneven, don't hit you!"

"Does Zhao Lianyi still belong to the same family in Ying Kingdom?" Bo Yunxiu asked suddenly.

Even Qian Mian was very surprised, "I only heard that Zhao Lianyi and Han Lao Er are from the same sect, but I haven't heard that there are other sects from the same sect. Where did you hear that?"

"If there is no one from the same family or close relatives or acquaintances to help, how should the corpse get out? Aren't you afraid of arousing suspicion?" Bao Yunxiu asked back.

Qianmian couldn't answer.

"Tsk tsk tsk, pretend to be a three-way sworn brother in Taoyuan, and in the end they all go to steal peaches to eat, so you just obediently offer incense and kowtow, you are really promising!" Han Busu sneered.

Qian Mian gritted his teeth, "What's the matter if you don't know? If you don't know, you don't know. If I'm as ruthless as them, today I will, I will..."

"So what?" Han Busu was afraid of him.

"Master, if you can't pass this test in your heart by yourself, don't be brave!" Shen Muxi sighed softly, "In case you are the one who gets angry in the end, it's you again!"

Qian Mian don't start, his chest heaving violently.

Lao Tzu, bear with me!

This tunnel has nine twists and eighteen bends, and some places are low and low, and you have to crawl through it with your waist bent and your head pressed against the top.

Seeing that he had reached the exit, Luo Zhi climbed up the wooden ladder, and knocked on the top cover three times in a row, three times in a row, the cover was opened with a creak, and the light on the top immediately fell.

Bo Yunxiu silently moved forward half a step, covering Shen Muxi behind him, staring coldly at the bright place.

Does anyone know who this person is

Who knows if this Luo Zhi is a bait to lure them here to catch them all

"Let's go!" Luo Zhi whispered, and crawled out with the hem of his skirt.

"You follow me!" Bao Yunxiu turned to look at Shen Muxi, "If something happens, you will return the same way, remember?"

Shen Muxi nodded repeatedly, "Remember!"

Mi Li went up first, followed by Bo Yunxiu, followed by Shen Muxi and Yue Gui. Of course... Qian Mian did not dare to compete with Han Busu for a seat. He could only watch Han Busu slowly climb up before he dared to take a step up.

The room is not too bright, it looks dark, but you can hear the noise from outside, it seems to be a market or something, and you can faintly hear the sound of selling.

The person who opened the cover was a black and thin man, who looked about ten years old, with high brows and eyes, and thick lips. Seeing so many people coming out at once, he didn't think it was strange, he just stretched out his hand to count the number of people.

"Six?" The thin black man turned his head to look at Luo Zhi, "Where are you going?"

"Sunset City." Luo Zhi said, stuffing some silver into the hands of the thin man, "I'd like to take care of them, especially this girl, she is the most honored guest, you know?"

The thin black man was taken aback, "You said the same thing last time."

"It's different this time." Luo Zhi pursed his lips, "We must ensure their safety, and we must not make any mistakes! Otherwise, let's see how I deal with you."

After finishing speaking, Luo Zhi took a step forward and saluted Shen Muxi, "Patriarch, his name is Al, if you have anything to do, just talk to him, and he will help you deal with it. Lu Rujing was going to the city of Sunset Branch back then. Al sent it."

"Sunset City?" Bo Yunxiu frowned.

Sunset is tantamount to death.

"Yeah, the city of sunset, the oasis that can only be found at sunset, you have to go along the west side. It's a very mysterious place on the west side of the capital of our Kingdom of Ying. Few people who go in can come out. I heard that There are a lot of beauties and a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and once you go in, you are reluctant to come out." Ale explained.

Opening the door, there is a small courtyard outside, with high mud walls separating the inside and outside.

There is a group of camels circled in the yard, and when you walk into the yard, you can only feel the smell.

Shen Muxi originally had a sensitive nose, so she couldn't help frowning and subconsciously covered her nose.

Al smiled, "That's the taste, but to go to Sunset City, my camel is indispensable! Everyone gets on the camel, otherwise, before dark, you won't be able to make it to Heishui City. You know, it is very difficult to live in the desert." dangerous."

Bo Yunxiu carried Shen Muxi onto the camel, "Can you do it alone?"

"Look carefully." Shen Muxi panicked, "It's the first time I'm sitting, so I might be a little unsteady."

He smiled, turned onto the camel, and stood side by side with her, "Say it when you are afraid, don't hold back!"

"En!" Shen Muxi nodded.

In the front there is Mili, in the back there is Yuegui, in the middle are Shen Muxi and Bo Yunxiu, and Han Busu and... Qianmian who is about to be crushed.

With Al leading the way, he went out of the gate, crossed the street, and walked out of the town.

The camel bounced and swayed, the scorching sun hung above the head, and wherever the eyes looked, it was all golden.

Heaven and earth seem to be connected together...
