Chapter 195: Entering the Bandit's Den
A store opened in a place like Fengshaji can only be a normal store with ghosts, Xie Yuan thought about it before stepping in.
However, he also considered that this place is so close to Xiguan and is the first stop for Dali to enter the Western Desert. It is impossible to say how powerful it is.
It’s just that spies from all the forces are here. The situation is extremely complicated. If the strength is not up to standard, no one will know if it is quietly buried in the sand;
If it appears, Once the strength comes, you can be safe with others.
I have been an escort for several months. Although the level of martial arts at that time was not high, the escort master was like this. The master only had to think about his practice, while the escort masters who were struggling at the bottom of the world had to consider other things. A lot, which also gave Xie Yuan a wealth of experience and a keen sense of smell.
Compared to a disciple from a great religion like Huang Zifeng, Xie Yuan's feelings in such places are more keen.
This is a place where the more you show weakness, the easier it is to attract hungry wolves.
While his companions were still looking at the people around them warily, Xie Yuan had already sat down at the table, leaving the other four stunned.
He looked at the others and said with a naive smile:
"Brother and sister, won't you sit down?"
The corners of Huang Zifeng's mouth drooped, thinking that Zhang Shan was going to express some high opinions. Could it be that he was just too slow to feel anything?
I just thought that this kid was smarter than the others, but it turned out to be an illusion... There is such an obvious problem, he is too slow and too naive, he only knows how to eat.
He frowned slightly, already deducting two points from Zhang Shan in his heart.
A few people sat down at the table and waited quietly for the food to be served in the silent restaurant.
Huang Zifeng quietly looked around, his eyes slightly focused:
"When I came here before, I felt that the pressure was not so great, and there were not so many people... What happened recently?"
He dared to bring Xie Yuan and four others here, so he was naturally confident.
According to what Cui Zhi said before when he took him to travel to various places, Fengshaji is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, but strong players may not be in it, but it is a good place to hone his martial arts skills in addition to cultivation.
However, there seemed to be more people in today's episode than before, which made him vigilant. He was prepared to reduce his stay here after finding the target after letting a few people see it.
After waiting for a short time, the waiter came up with several dishes, including a plate of peanuts, a plate of fennel beans, a plate of beef with soy sauce, a plate of meat buns, and a pot of sake.
Xie Yuan looked at the plate of meat buns, hesitant and muttered:
“It shouldn’t be so cliché?”
But even though Situ Qin led him to love food , he still didn’t dare to try this thing.
Huang Zifeng was indifferent. After the Lin brothers and sisters looked at each other, they silently took out the silver needles and tried them one by one. Before they could get the results, they heard a sneer from behind, followed by a charming voice:
"I'm afraid this thing is poisonous, so don't eat it. Why bother?"
The Lin family brothers and sisters felt embarrassed for a moment. They didn't know how to answer, so they heard Pei Yu say coldly:
"I can do whatever I want with the things I bought."
The landlady glanced at him and said calmly:
"You haven't paid yet."
Pei Yu walked to the counter, took out a shining gold ingot from his chest, and slapped it on the counter.
The light of this gold ingot was very dazzling, like fat meat thrown into a pack of wolves. It instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant. The high-rollers at the table all stared at it. on top.
Huang Zifeng frowned instantly, but it was too late to stop him. He just subconsciously touched his hand on the hilt of the sword.
He looked at Pei Yu coldly, but from this angle, he saw the corners of his mouth slightly hooked. He was startled for a moment, and his dissatisfied expression subsided slightly.
The white-faced landlady looked at Jin Yuanbao, her mouth wide open, her eyes straight, and she was almost drooling. Fortunately, she held back in time, otherwise the thick powder on her cheeks would have been washed out with two marks.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand and smiled brightly:
"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you like with that food, you can feed it to the dogs..."
Her fingers touched gold Yuan Bao grabbed it but it didn't move at all. Pei Yu had no intention of stopping.
The proprietress looked up and found Pei Yu staring at her with a smile:
"In addition to food money, there is also money to buy news. Is it enough?"
"Then it depends on what you want to know."
The landlady raised an eyebrow and did not agree directly.
Pei Yu said lightly:
"Are there any such heinous foreign martial arts practitioners here? The best ones are around four."
The landlady listened. He was stunned for a moment by his question, and suddenly laughed exaggeratedly:
"What you're asking...isn't it easy to find the kind of person you want? There are all the people in this hall!"
She stretched out an onion-like finger and looked around the hall. All the people were included, and then he smiled and nuzzled outside and said:
"Also There is a whole Fengshaji, and if you kill nine out of ten, you can’t make a mistake, and there must be a fish that slips through the net. What a novel word, geez!”
Pei Yu was caught by her. His face turned red from laughing, feeling that he had made a mistake, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He was about to take back the gold ingot, but he was suddenly held down by the landlady with a bang.
The landlady narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth, revealing her neat white teeth:
"What are you doing? I gave you the money and you still want to go back?"
Pei Yu's face changed slightly. , I didn’t know whether I should let go or not. However, the landlady's hand was so strong that he couldn't pull it, so he put down the gold ingot and returned to the table in embarrassment.
"Get out of here after eating, this is not the place you should come."
The proprietress picked up the gold ingot, bit it with her teeth, and said fluently.
None of the five people were in the mood to eat. Of course Xie Yuan had other reasons.
After a few hasty chopsticks, a few people stood up and left from this "first restaurant in the West Desert".
In a corner of the room, several big men looked at each other and stood up silently.
The waiter turned a blind eye and put away the leftovers, tables, chairs and benches. Then he walked to the landlady and asked in a low voice:
"Boss, those are all... It’s Chu’er, do you want to...”
Just as he was making a gesture, the landlady said lazily:
"These guys can't help them."
"What?"
The waiter was stunned, then A few of them are obviously young boys who are just starting out, but the ones who have just followed up the mountain are all tough guys here. How can they miss?
“There is a powerful one there, just wait and see.”
The landlady didn't explain. She took the cattail leaf fan and lay down on the lounge chair behind the counter. A pair of long legs were placed high on the counter. The hem of her skirt slipped slightly, revealing a delicate and smooth white calf.
Her embroidered shoes were not put on lazily. They were hanging on her toes and dangling on her feet outside the counter. They were also so white that her eyes were shining. She seemed to be in this windy and sandy place. glow.
However, both the waiter and the high-rollers in the store who were obviously not good people all stared at each other, completely turning a blind eye to this scene that could arouse the beast in men's hearts. Some people even couldn't help but lower their heads. , eating silently, for fear of accidentally moving his eyes over there.
The wind and sand gather outside.
Xie Yuan and the other five people came out of Fengshaji. They no longer had the ubiquitous eyes staring at them, and they felt that the pressure was obviously relieved.
Huang Yifeng looked at Pei Yu and asked in a deep voice:
"Junior brother Pei, you know the principle of keeping wealth secret, especially in a place like this, right?"
"Of course. "
Pei Yu said simply, even colder than Huang Yifeng.
Huang Yifeng didn’t say anything, he just asked:
"So you do this...?"
"It's for fishing. Rather than looking for it yourself, it's better to let the prey come to you."
Pei Yu said in a deep voice.
Smart hunters often appear as prey?
Xie Yuan thought with interest and glanced back.
But aren’t you afraid of catching sharks when fishing this way?
Sure enough, Huang Zifeng also stared slightly and said:
"The idea is good, but have you ever thought about what if you catch an enemy that you can't handle?"
Pei Yu paused for a moment and said coldly and proudly:
“There should be no enemies beyond our strength in this sandstorm.”
His words exuded strong confidence, far beyond what an outside practitioner should have.
Huang Zifeng frowned:
"I don't know where your confidence comes from, but if you underestimate the enemy, you will only die."
"..."
Pei Yu remained silent, not sure whether he heard it or not.
Several people continued to walk forward. Xie Yuan glanced sideways and saw that several people were silent and looked nervous:
"Do you think someone will follow?"< br>
"Not yet..."
Pei Yu shook his head, suddenly stunned, his face changed slightly:
"So close already?"
Lin Zhen also immediately became vigilant and noticed something was wrong.
Huang Zifeng watched with cold eyes, secretly thinking that if it weren't for Zhang Shan, a stupid boy who happened to be afraid of being reminded, the few of them would have been undetected by someone sneaking up close. The wind-sand pavement and undulating sand dunes may seem like an unobstructed view, but in fact they are all covered.
The four disciples immediately drew their swords and formed a formation. Lin Cheng shouted in a deep voice:
"Who is blocking the way? Don't hide your head and show your tail."
After a moment of silence behind the dunes, several big men in black suddenly appeared, who were the guests of the hotel!
"One, two, three...seven, eight!"
Lin Cheng and others looked nervous and excited, looked at the high rollers on the sand dunes, and shouted:
"Who are you? What do you want to do with us here?"
"You talk a lot of nonsense, and you are very polite."
The big man in the lead sneered:
"I will naturally ask for money if I follow you! Take out all the gold ingots you still have, and then leave that girl for us to play around with, and I will forgive her. You're all dead!"
Lin Zhen looked at the big men looking at him unscrupulously, his eyes stern, and his hand holding the sword tightened.
She was originally the water spirit of Xiaojiabiyu, the delicate daughter of a rich family, and quite water spirit;
After experiencing great changes and practicing in Yunshan for several months, she practiced martial arts diligently, her aura was moisturized, and her body and skin were better and better. Since then, her temperament has become calmer and firmer, more like a mature woman, and she is much more attractive than before. From a little beauty to a great beauty, Huang Zifeng, who was already interested in her, was very excited.
For these bandits who wander around the desert every day, such a Central Plains woman is simply poison. Now her eyes are shining. Rather than asking for money, she actually wants people more.
Huang Zifeng's eyelids drooped slightly. He had already sentenced these strong men to death, and it was up to him to see if the junior brothers and sisters could kill them all by themselves.
Hearing that his sister was being humiliated, Lin Cheng glared and snorted:
"I don't need money, I don't need people, but I only need lives. It depends on how many lives you have to take it. ! ”
“It’s okay if you don’t know how to praise me. I think you are quite white.”
The leader waved his hand and shouted:
“Up!”
The eight robbers were full of momentum, pulled out their machetes, and rushed down the sand dunes.
"Three to practice four, five to practice three."
Xie Yuan saw the strength of several people in an instant and raised his eyebrows. Is this team weak?
I just entered Fengshaji, do I just have to practice so much?
Pei Yu and Lin Zhen each led a fourth-level gangster and a third-level gangster. Although Huang Zifeng intended to watch, the opponent did not know that he would stand up and assigned a fourth-level gangster to attack, so he and People are entangled and the performance of the four people is observed.
The remaining three third-level practitioners faced Xie Yuan and Lin Cheng with a ferocious smile:
“Kill these two with two swords, then go back and help the leader and the others to capture that girl. , we can also have fun in the back!"
Lin Cheng's face darkened and he whispered:
"Junior Brother Zhang, with a small number we can defeat many enemies. Let's be careful."
"Okay, Senior Brother Lin."
Xie Yuan was a little nervous when he saw the three trial disciples entering the battle formation for the first time. Nervously, he rolled his eyes and circled three circles with his long sword, kindly leaving two for Lin Cheng to practice.
"Junior Brother Zhang, Zhang..."
Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment. His original intention was to cooperate with Xie Yuan, but it turned out that he was already fighting with the enemy with great joy. , he had no choice but to grit his teeth and face the two of them.
Huang Zifeng was fighting with the fourth-level practitioner at the side. With his strength, he could deal with it with only a little concentration. He was just teasing his opponent.
Most of his energy was focused on the few people in the room, silently commenting:
“Junior sister Lin is familiar with swordsmanship and has solid cultivation. However, in the first life-and-death fight, it was still one against two. Can't let go Feet, this is normal, but she is obviously getting used to it and is firmly in an invincible position, um, very good...
"As a disciple of the Sword Sect, Junior Brother Pei was in a hurry to deal with the two little thieves. , still needs training. ”
Although Pei Yu’s performance is no worse than Lin Zhen, the treatment he received is different.
Huang Zifeng looked to the other side:
"Junior brother Lin's kung fu is very precise. He can beat one against two after three practices, but he is so-so. Huh? His sword moves are still a bit bright. Doesn't it mean that his qualifications are biased?"< br>
He took a second look and felt that Lin Cheng's sword moves were often unexpected, unlike those that could be practiced at this stage and with this qualification, so he nodded slightly.
"It seems that there is some inspiration. As for Zhang Shan...
"Why do you have to fight for a long time one on one? The person opposite is also a disciple of the Sword Sect. Does he have a teacher, a skill, or internal strength? ”
Huang Yifeng was very dissatisfied and shook his head repeatedly.
After all, these few people are disciples of the sect. Not to mention the inheritance of other techniques, just the internal skills they have cultivated are not comparable to these superficial external training.
Among these people, only the leader has a hint of inner aura, which is better than nothing, and has no advantage against Lin Zhen.
After a few rounds, the three of them gradually became familiar with the fight. Even though these gangsters were ruthless and murderous, they gradually became exhausted and their numbers were reduced rapidly.
You can't defeat many against one, and you can't defeat even less if there are fewer people. The gangsters were instantly defeated.
Xie Yuan's opponents saw their companions falling to the ground one after another, and their souls were full of ghosts:
"Oh no! We have encountered a tough situation! Only the one in front of me is the weakest. I must either run away now, or take him as a hostage... "
Just as he was thinking this, the soft sword in front of him stretched out to his chest. He wanted to block it just like before, but found that the sword did not move at all.
Before he could figure it out, the sword had already penetrated his chest, piercing him through.
The bandit looked at his opponent blankly and found that his expression was casual and his eyes were calm. He didn't feel like Brother Chu at all. He was completely a veteran.
"You..."
He suddenly realized, but when he opened his mouth, blood gushed out and he fell to the ground softly.
"Junior Brother Zhang! Oh...I also said I would help you."
Lin Cheng had just finished killing his opponent, and when he turned around to look, Xie Yuan had killed his opponent almost at the same time. What a coincidence. , couldn't help but pat his chest.
The three of them took a few breaths. It was their first life-and-death fight, their first murder, and looking at the corpses on the ground still gave them a bit of a shock.
But after a while, the three of them were disciples of the Sword Sect after all, and they quickly adjusted, but the hands holding the swords were still a little tight.
Huang Zifeng watched silently and nodded secretly:
"I got used to it very quickly, but this mountain is quite motionless. Unexpectedly...it turns out that his face is still pale, and it looks like it's just a piece of wood. "
He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Xie Yuan's last sword strike just now was very decisive. He thought it was an explosion under the pressure of life and death. It changed slightly, and it was not considered a dead wood.
Huang Zifeng watched as several people searched the bodies of several gangsters according to the methods taught by the outsiders, but there was nothing valuable, not even a few copper coins, so poor.
"The trial...is it complete?"
Lin Zhen asked. Several people had just killed someone, and they were slightly trembling and a little excited. After all, this battle is still too simple for them.
Huang Zifeng pondered for a while:
"It's just that, the effect is limited. In this way, now that we have proven our strength, it will be much safer to return to Fengshaji, so we will go to find out the news. I always feel that here recently Something happened."
A few people nodded slightly. They had just wandered around the gathering and had a brief taste, but they didn't feel anything special yet. Now that the trial is mostly completed, my mood has calmed down a bit, and it’s time to experience the real world.
When the five people returned to Fengshaji, they felt that the eyes around them had changed a lot, and they couldn't help but raise their heads and chests.
After entering the "No. 1 restaurant in West Desert", they clearly felt that the atmosphere around them had condensed. The guests looked at them solemnly, and the waiter and the proprietress also looked a little strange.
“You didn’t expect it, right? Our strength is not weak!”
The three disciples all had similar thoughts.
Huang Zifeng stood behind and asked Pei Yu to step forward and ask again.
Standing in front of the counter, he saw the landlady holding her feet in front of him. He took a step sideways uncomfortably and said calmly:
"Bosswoman, can you buy the news?"
"Of course. Did I lie to you just now? I'm not quite right."
The landlady retracted her legs, her eyes shining:
"What do you want to know? Hand over the money with one hand. , single-hand delivery.”
Pei Yu took out another gold ingot nonchalantly, making Xie Yuan and other big men's eyelids twitch:
"This guy is too rich... money is not money!"
" Has anything happened here recently? Fengshaji nearby."
Pei Yu asked lightly.
The proprietress took the gold ingot into her hand with a smile on her face, bit it with her teeth, and then said with a smile after confirming the authenticity:
"Yes, of course there is.
" Lu Laosan has been chased by Su Xing recently. He directly mobilized his brigade of horse bandits to come here to encircle and suppress, vowing to intercept Su Xing's return to Dali from Hulukou. He asked everyone to give way to him.
"Now Sakon is all Lu Laosan's people, Fengshaji has been taken over by him."
When Xie Yuan heard Lu Laosan's name, his eyes narrowed, but he didn't expect it again. This old acquaintance.
But when he heard what happened later, he felt that something was wrong.
With his eyes darkened, Huang Zifeng suddenly spoke on their behalf, with a solemn tone:
"Fengshaji is under the control of Mr. Lu? What does this mean?"
The landlady's mouth opened wider and wider, Some of the thick white powder fell off:
"Giggle, it means that these are all Lu Laosan's people!
"Those in my shop, outside the shop, the ones you just killed , they are all horse bandits!
"Little guys, you killed the horse bandits and still dared to return to the horse bandits' base camp. I really don't know whether to say you are stupid or stupid?"
