Chapter 129: The figure in the city, Suosuo
It is said that these warriors really want to lower their voices, but there are too few people in the tavern, and he is a naturally loud voice, even if Zuo Chen doesn’t No matter what tricks you use, you can clearly hear what he is saying.
The other companions were also surprised when they heard someone coming from the table:
“Take the head? Isn’t that a place where people do business with their heads? A group of insidious and cunning people, with They are like rats in the stinking ditch! King Wei has sent out several troops but they have not been able to eradicate them. How can they be exterminated?"
The man said:
"I also heard what others said two days ago, and I'm absolutely telling the truth! It was said that the person who took the lead took over a big business and sent many men to ambush him. In the end, he was not beaten, but he was killed. Eight, there was only one who was lucky enough to run back.
"But the one who escaped seemed to have been tricked. After returning to the pavilion, the door was closed, and the whole day and night were not taken. People come out! In the end, a passerby nearby discovered that something big had happened in their pavilion!
"After all, it is a business of selling heads. In the end, it was the government who came to see the door. As soon as they entered, the government officials were frightened to death!
"Most of the people in the pavilion were dead. , there is only one left alive, and he has gone crazy. This group of dead people died in extremely strange ways. Some people choked to death after drinking water, some people fell on the ground and hit their foreheads on the wooden board and their heads were nailed through, and some people had their clothes set on fire by the red lantern outside and were burned alive! Very evil!
"The crazy one was also shouting: The disaster is coming! Finally he ran to a nearby town and was hit by a passing carriage without paying attention. Even his head was crushed!"< br>
This martial artist was talking about Tumo Xingzi's flying, as if he had witnessed it himself. He was also very eloquent, and he could speak eloquently.
After hearing what he said, the people next to him laughed:
"Old Miao, do you still think you are a storyteller from Kyoto? This is too mysterious. , who can believe it!”
“Hey, why don’t you guys believe it? I’m telling you, I have connections in the world. Everyone knows that this matter is still hanging in the balance, but you only need to find out whether the inquisitor's head has been killed in two days to prove that what I said is true. "
A few people nearby. He started making fun again, saying "Yes, everything our old seedling said is true" and "How could you tell lies, Mr. Storyteller?"
The man's face turned red with anger.
After the quarrel, one of them sighed:
“If there really is such a powerful person in this world, why don’t you go to rectify and rectify the evil thieves in the dense forest next to you? ? How many people were killed in Guer Village, Shisan Village, and Hu Meizi Village? Some people were lured in, and some things were leaked out. There were quite a few families and people killed. "
"It's easy to get in and out of this damn place!" Someone snorted: "If the King's cavalry can't get in, who can go in and deal with those villages by themselves?"
“That makes sense.”
“And I also think that Hu Meizi Village can be kept.”
“Hey, you prodigal, if you enter Hu Meizi Village, even the people will be eaten and wiped clean! Hurry up and find a hook. Let's go and watch the show!"
He just stopped talking about the things in the jungle, and instead talked about some dirty jokes with the wine, mostly about which girl was pretty.
Zuo Chen, who was listening silently, took a sip of tea and remembered all the villages mentioned by these warriors.
After finishing the gambling village, you can indeed visit several other villages in the dense forest.
After a little calculation, he calculated that his Catastrophe Talisman had indeed taken effect, and he knew that what the martial artist said just now should be the truth, and the group of people who took the lead were generally unlucky.
This is also the first time Zuo Chen has used the Catastrophe Talisman on such a large scale, and he has quite a bit of experience.
I have kept them all in mind and plan to give them a try when I have the right opportunity.
Behind the inn, while the waiter was still dazed, a man dressed as a cook hurried in from the back door with two plates of hot dishes. As he walked, he glared at the waiter who had wandered away. He opened his eyes, then put on an eager smile and came to Zuo Chen's table.
“A stir-fry for two!”
He placed two slightly yellowed plates in front of Zuo Chen and Caiyi, and pointed to the large bucket next to him:
"The rice bucket is over there, you two can take it yourself."< br>
The direction of his finger was exactly where the waiter was standing. The waiter who pointed at Sang Shuhuai turned red and immediately hurried to the big bucket of rice, filled two large bowls of coarse rice, and sent them to Zuo Chen and On the colorful table.
The cook just snorted and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.
Looking at the cook walking away, Zuo Chen and Cai Yi did not move. When he was completely gone, Cai Yi lowered his voice and said:
“That cook just now belongs to Xiao Huanxi!”
“He is indeed someone on Xiao Huanxi’s roster. But he should be just a low-level employee.”
The moment the cook showed up, Zuo Chen immediately recognized him as one of the people on the roster.
Then he took a look using Guanqi technique.
This man doesn't have much turbidity. He should have done some bad things. He has done some dirty tricks, but he has never killed anyone. He might just be here to act as an informant, so Zuo Chen simply didn't do anything.
He didn't find it strange. After all, he was already close to the edge of the dense forest. It was normal for the people from Gambling Village to send some people in advance to monitor him.
"Taoist Priest, what should we do next?"
"Just act normally."
If we can really scare the snake away, we can scare away all the cockroaches. , then it is inevitable that several disasters will be missed during pursuit.
It’s better to catch them all in one go.
And since the other party has sent an informant here, there is no way there will be no movement.
It is estimated that someone will come to cause trouble in a while.
We were eating vegetables and drinking tea again. Not long after, the warriors at the table next to us had already gotten up and planned to go upstairs to rest. Zuo Chen also planned to ask the waiter to come over and book two rooms.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a chubby middle-aged man walking in from the door.
He is wearing an official uniform, looks dignified, has a smile on his face, and is upright. Just one look at him will make people think that this face is like spring breeze, and he is a rare good person.
Zuo Chen also glanced at the chubby man's face and showed a playful smile.
This person is not Xiao Huanxi, but his affairs are recorded in the roster:
His nickname is Mu Chunfeng, his real name is Li Dachun, he has no special skills, he is best at a clever mouth, According to the records in the book, this man is a liar.
But he is also one of the three big bookmakers in the gambling village.
Under his sweet words, there are countless gamblers in his village. They obviously don't know any magic, but their mouth seems to have the power of five mysteries and three magics. They claim to never harm others and are good people, but they don't know that they are in his hands. There are so many good families here.
“I’ve seen Taoist Zuo, Li Xing, and Sima Liang’s subordinate Wen Chai. Not long ago, Master Sima Liang used flying pigeons to tell you about you, and I wanted to stay in this city. I’ll host a banquet for you.”
“You’re welcome, we will leave during the day tomorrow, just find a room to stay for one night.”
Seeing that Zuo Chen didn’t seem to be following me. Meaning, Li Dachun, who had given a fake name, was not angry. He took out a small ingot of official silver from his arms and handed it directly to the waiter next to him:
"Free up the two best rooms in your store." Come out, Taoist Master is a big shot, don’t neglect these two people.”
The waiter, who had been sluggish and lack of energy just now, had been stunned in place since Li Dachun came in. Although he had not seen many dignitaries in the city, the behavior and the clothes he wore were exactly the same as the official he had seen in his dream. How could he not be a person of status?
When such a distinguished person spoke to him, he suddenly panicked, bent down very deeply, and took the small ingot of silver.
Before I could hold this treasure in my hands for a long time, a plump woman came out from the back door and snatched away the money from the little hand, and then her face was filled with laughter. Dui Xiao:
"My lord, please rest assured! I will definitely recruit two of them!"
He approached Zuo Chen and Caiyi again and made a Made a please gesture:
"You two, we have three high-rise rooms upstairs, but no one is occupying them now. When the time comes, you two can go upstairs and choose as you please."
Zuo Chen nodded in agreement.
This is the boss lady, an ordinary person.
Probably not aware of this mess at all.
"Since Taoist Master likes peace and quiet, I will not continue to disturb you." Li Dachun continued to maintain this comfortable manner: "I also wish Taoist Master immediate success tomorrow!"
< br>
Zuo Chen glanced at him and suddenly smiled:
"I'd like to lend you some good words."
When Li Dachun saw Zuo Chen's smile, his heart suddenly thumped.
I just feel like I just said something that I shouldn't have said.
But he was restless, but he really couldn't feel what Zuo Chen had done. He could only force out a stiff smile, and then turned around and left.
After Li Dachun left, Zuo Chen followed the landlady towards the second floor with Caiyi.
The warriors downstairs looked at each other.
"Who is this Taoist priest?"
"I don't know where to go! What do you care about others? Why not sleep well, we have to rush tomorrow morning."
"I just like this message..."
"Mr. Storyteller, did you make that mistake again?"
......
After reaching the second floor, the landlady boasted about her two huge guest rooms before going downstairs. At this moment, Cai Yi finally discovered that Zuo Chen's left hand had been in a pinching state.
"Taoist Master, what are you doing?" Cai Yi asked Zuo Chen a little confused.
“Use Wang Qi Shu to look again.”
After taking a closer look, I discovered that his fingertips seemed to be holding a faint wisp of vitality, forming a long line that seemed to be pulling somewhere in the city.
"Taoist priest? This is it?"
"Didn't I just say that I wanted to borrow auspicious words? Isn't this a lucky word."
Zuo Chen smiled broadly.
