Early morning.
The warm sun is shining, and the surrounding fields are silent.
Sun Yixie's carriage had already left Xuzhou City and entered the official road at the moment when the city gate was opened.
Lei Buji was still driving the car in front.
At this time, Lei Buji is quite energetic. He has had good food, shelter and rest in the prison for the past two days, which is more leisurely than outside.
However, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai in the carriage were already swaying and falling asleep.
The two of them stayed up all night... After leaving Qiliu Youlan in the early morning, they immediately ran to the Yamen again and got Lei Buji out of the prison. Then they took him with them Buji returned to the inn, changed clothes, washed up, fed the horse and hitched the cart, and then checked out and hit the road.
Obviously, not to mention a day and a half, they did not want to stay in Xuzhou City for even a moment.
So...how did the old man settle his accounts with them a few hours ago?
In fact, it doesn’t matter.
After all the previous changes, the concubine’s original purpose has changed.
He does not need Gu Qiying's notes; he does not need to care about the death of his "substitute"; he does not even need Sun Yixie and Huang Dong to "pay off the debt" immediately...< /p>
According to the concubine's original words: "Right now, I don't need you to do anything, and I don't need you to give me anything, but I have handed over you two 'friends', and you' owe me Mine, please remember it."
Both Sun and Huang understand the weight and intention of these words...
There is no doubt that the concubine has already killed them both. A person's future is regarded as a more "valuable" existence than Gu Qiying's notes. When he plans to "realize" this value in the future, what he will ask Shuangxie to do for him must be to use It was something more important and more difficult than Gu Qiying's notes could do.
Now that things have happened, both Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai feel... It was better to just copy a part of Gu Qiying's notes to him.
Any debt in this world is easy to repay, but debts of gratitude are the most difficult to repay.
My uncle is someone who knows this very well. Over the years, through mutual help between "friends", he has laid countless plans in the arena, in the government and in the public sector that can be used at critical moments. Enabled chess pieces.
Think about the "Gui Cha", the father of Miss Xue'er. He was such a powerful figure back then, but what happened to him just because he owed a favor to his concubine? Even after death, it harmed his family...
Let's put it this way, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai will not feel at ease for a day until the debt is paid off; and considering that the uncle is very likely to have sex, They are engaging in some major conspiracy, and they will probably have "difficulties" when repaying this favor in the future.
So, their plan last night was actually not wrong. The final and final solution to this matter is to "kill the concubine".
It’s just that now is not the time.
Today's Shuangxuan really does not have the strength to accomplish this.
In terms of martial arts, power, and various other hard and hidden resources... none of them can compare with the concubine; unless the concubine suddenly jumps up like Gu Qiying and Shen Youran. They were against the entire Wulin/Court, and they planned and executed the fatal blow in advance, either intentionally or unintentionally... Otherwise, they had no chance of winning.
To sum up, at this stage, there is no problem between Shuye and Shuangxi. If there is a problem, it is just a "misunderstanding".
…………
If there are books, they will be long; if there are no books, they will be short.
The three of them were basically on the road during the day, and they didn't encounter anything.
Sun and Huang got up after sleeping until noon, and then took the opportunity to talk to Lei Buji about what happened in the past two days.
Of course, they did not tell all the truth, but consciously omitted all the parts about the "concubine"; they first told the story of Xue'er and Shui Sheng, and then said After Zhu Jiaduan found out that Zheng Mukai died innocently, he let it go. Then he said that the "brothel owner" thought Shuisheng Xueer was pitiful and let them go. He didn't mention Xueer's self-destruction.
Anyway, Lei Buji is easy to deceive and won’t go into details. He just believes what the two eldest brothers say, and the matter is over.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai did not tell Buji about the existence of the "concubine", which was undoubtedly for his own good. If they told Lei Buji the ins and outs of everything in the past two days, with Buji's character , he would definitely feel that Sun Huang owed the concubine a favor because of himself, and then he would be involved.
The three of them chatted all the way. Around the afternoon, they happened to arrive at a place called Liuzhuang. They saw that it was already getting late, and it might be too late to rush to another station, so they decided Find a hotel to stay at.
Liuzhuang is a relatively large village, and there is at least a spacious inn in the village.
As soon as Lei Buji drove the carriage to the door of the inn, the waiter from the inn ran out, leading the horse and greeting people.
Although he is a waiter in a small place, he has a good eye. As soon as he sees that the guest is riding a carriage, he knows that he is rich, so he greets him with extra enthusiasm.
Everything was fine and there was nothing unusual, but I didn’t expect...
As he spoke, the second brother glanced behind the carriage and glanced at Brother Sun. The moment he held the trident, the expression on his face suddenly changed.
This is not over yet... His face change was just a little stiff at first, but after a few seconds, when he saw Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai walking out of the carriage, he simply A look of anger and disgust appeared on his face.
Immediately afterwards, he stopped leading the horse, stopped talking, and suddenly turned around and ran back to the store.
Soon, a man who looked like a shopkeeper walked out with him, staring at Sun Yixie just like him.He and Huang Dong took a look, and immediately darkened their faces.
"You two..." The shopkeeper took two steps forward. Even though his demeanor and tone were disrespectful, he still made a gesture of cupping his fists and cupping his hands. "I'm sorry for being rude, but I dare to ask..." He After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "Are you Sun Yixie, Sun Shaoxia, and Huang Donglai, Huang Shaoxia?"
When Sun and Huang heard this, they were very happy, and thought to themselves that we are both so famous now. La? If I go to any village or town and meet an innkeeper, can he recognize me?
"Ha... not bad." Sun Yixie immediately smiled and said, "I am Sun Yixie."
"I am Huang Donglai." Huang Donglai also smiled and continued.
They thought that after hearing this answer, the store owner would first exclaim, then compliment them a lot, express his effusive admiration, and then tell them how delicious and delicious the food is. The room started moving in a row.
I never expected that...
"Huh!" They were greeted with a cold snort, "Okay! Two of them just ran away, and here are two more... Come on." "Okay!" The shopkeeper said this with gritted teeth, "Folks, come on! The three grandsons of Qi are here again!"
After he finished shouting, more than a dozen people from all over the neighborhood rushed out. Some of them had kitchen knives, hoes, and rolling pins in their hands. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone. The carriage was surrounded.
Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji were all dumbfounded. What is this? Black shop? No...Black Village? Even if it is a black shop, they have to wait until someone comes in before taking action. Why are they being ganked while they are still on the street?
"I'm such a bitch! Are you still here?" The shopkeeper's face turned red with anger, and all kinds of profanities came out, "I'm telling you... I'm here in our village today. You're in trouble, we've already been fooled once! You're all still holding back your anger! Just give the other two liars what they deserve, and then go to the official with us!"
< p>After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and pulled out a wooden stick from under the counter of the inn. The leader was about to come up and beat people.The surrounding villagers were also excited, and a few brave ones were about to step forward and pull the three people off the carriage.
At this moment... Sun Yixie, who has rich experience in group fights, made a decisive decision and stepped forward.
The only thing that could be heard was that he shouted "**" violently, like a sudden thunder, like a dragon roaring and a dog roaring.
Before he finished shouting, Sun Yixie stepped forward and snatched the kitchen knife from the hand of the big man who was rushing forward. Then he restrained the big man with one hand and held the kitchen knife against the man with the other hand. On the big man's neck.
"Who the hell dares to come here! I'll chop him to death first!" When Brother Sun said this, he suddenly removed the kitchen knife from the big man's neck and waved it at the other people in front of him. Twice, and then pushed back to the neck of the hostage in his hand.
Not to mention...his hands are very effective.
Just his high-pitched roar had already silenced many people. Coupled with his murderous attitude and momentum, who would dare to step forward?
After all, the villagers are just villagers. Seeing that there are many people and making a big noise is actually useless... If you ask them to catch a few petty thieves and adulterers, that's fine. But if you really meet a desperado, no one wants to be the first to die.
"Brother...brother...don't...don't be impulsive..." The big man restrained by Sun Yixie just now was blowing his beard and glaring as if he wanted to eat someone. Now he was being restrained by Sun Yixie. Yi Xie held the knife in his hand and felt that his legs were weak, he was shaking when he spoke, and he almost peed his pants.
"Who the hell is your brother?" Sun Yixie ignored him, "Shut up! If you talk nonsense again, I'll take off your head!"
The big man is a cook himself, and he is skilled at killing chickens and fish. If you mention killing people to him, his scalp will go numb and he will quickly shut up.
"You...what are you doing? Are you going to kill someone if you can't cheat?" The shopkeeper had already retreated to the door of the inn, half of his body was hidden behind the door frame and shouted to them.
"Fart!" Now that the situation was like this, Sun Yixie didn't care about respecting the old and loving the young. He glared at the old man and scolded him, "Dozens of you guys gathered around you, no?" You're going to call me after you know the truth, but you still dare to say that I want to kill someone? This is called self-defense!"
Even though he has a bad attitude, his words are reasonable.
If Sun Yixie was not here and Huang Donglai and Lei Buji were left to handle today's matter, they would most likely suffer a loss; although it was not difficult to control these villagers with their abilities, One of them uses poison, and the other is too stupid. They will probably cause casualties when they attack... And if they insist on not wanting to hurt these people, they will have to be beaten. If they are unlucky, they may become disabled.
Only Sun Yixie, who has been through the fish market with swords and swords, knows best what fighting in the market is like, and knows how to control such a scene.
"Hey." After a breath, seeing that the situation was temporarily stable, Sun Yixie called Huang Donglai in a low voice and winked.
Although he didn't say anything, Huang Donglai looked at him and immediately understood what he meant.
The next second, Huang Donglai climbed half a step up, cupped his fists and raised his hands in a half circle around him, and said loudly: "Fellow folks, we are passing through here with no ill intentions, and we don't want to hurt anyone, but you don't know Why do you want to use swords against us? I hope you can teach me."
They are fighting first and then being polite. Brother Sun first used a rogue method to control the situation, and Brother Huang came out to pretend to be polite and give the opponent some softness. ——In this way, it is easier to resolve conflicts when one person is a good person and the other is a bad person.
As soon as Huang Donglai said this, the villagers also became confused. Everyone looked at the innkeeper. Originally... you called us out. If you have the blame, you will be the one to bear it. ah.
The shopkeeper thought, this "fakeThe boy "Huang Donglai" spoke politely, and seemed to be reasonable and able to communicate, so he said: "You said... you are Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai?" ”
When he thought and asked this, he didn’t put himself in his shoes and think about it. Are his words and deeds just now unreasonable?
Of course, since Sun Yixie has already controlled If the situation is over, it doesn’t matter anymore.
“Yes, I am Huang Donglai. Huang Donglai asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Actually, now that we calm down and think about what the shopkeeper said before, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai have roughly guessed what happened to Liu Zhuang, but they still hope to confront each other face to face. , Let’s talk about it, lest some of the surrounding villagers are confused about the situation.
So, the shopkeeper told how his village had hosted another couple "Sun Yixie" a few days ago. Everything about "Huang Donglai" has been told in detail...
Those two swindlers were also cowardly. In addition to living and eating in the inn for free, they also deceived many villagers. , saying that they would teach their children martial arts, that they would establish a sect in this village, that they would do business here, buy land and houses, etc., and make all kinds of pictures for the villagers.
When these villagers heard that two young talents who had just become famous in Luoyang were so interested in their village, they naturally fawned over them, serving them all kinds of good wine and food, and giving money and gifts to every household... ...in exchange for the various "benefits" promised by those two scammers
I never thought that just this morning, when the waiter went to deliver food to the fake Sun Yihe and fake Huang Donglai as usual, But they found that the two people and their luggage were gone...
All kinds of money and gifts they had collected in the past few days...except for some things that were really not very valuable and too heavy. , took away everything they could.
The villagers realized that these two people were not liars, right?
But if they wanted to chase them, they would not be able to catch up... …
These two swindlers were also well prepared. They had deliberately waited until midnight every day before getting up again, and repeatedly asked the waiter not to wake them up early in the morning. In fact, they were all preparing for the day of escape; The night before, the two swindlers took advantage of the darkness and went downstairs. The hooves of the two horses they rode were wrapped in cloth to muffle the sound of the horses' hooves. Then they took away all the money they had defrauded. After leaving the village, they took off the cloth from the horses' hooves and started galloping... So when the waiter discovered that the two men were missing. By then, the other party had already been running away for most of the day.
What else could the villagers do in the next half day?
You can imagine that. "It's all your fault. I only believed it when I heard you say they must be. If I had met these two liars first, I would never have been deceived. ”
Most people who are deceived are like this. One day they were still in a state of "I was sold and I helped people pay for it", but the next day it was all hindsight./ She is in a hurry, and he/she may even say that the other party has used a medicine that can make him/her obedient and give the money away by tapping him/her on the shoulder. This is why he/she is such a shrewd and upright person. Got hit.
No matter what...
After hearing about someone pretending to be themselves and cheating, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai would definitely not be able to bear it. Even if they could bear it, Lei Buji would not be able to bear it. I can't bear it.
No matter what other things they have, the matter in front of them must be solved first, otherwise it will be like a thorn in the back and a fish in the throat.
This leads to the fact that "Sun Yixie" was wronged and died in the hall, and "Huang Donglai" lost his footing and died in the feces.
