Chapter 622: Nanyang
It was night, and the soldiers defending Nanyang City yawned on the city walls. It was already this hour, and it was estimated that nothing would happen, so the soldier put his spear on the wall, and then prepared to sit down on the spot and lean against the wall for a while.
Under the city wall, Mu Xiaojiu saw that the soldiers were about to sit down, thinking that he didn't have a waist card on him, and it was estimated that he would have to be troublesome to enter the city, so he simply patted the thin horse's neck, "You go find a place to rest yourself, and I'll come to you tomorrow when the sun comes out." ”
The skinny horse sneezed, turned and left, not knowing if he understood.
Mu Xiaojiu smiled silently, turned around, and with a movement of his feet, the whole person rose into the air, floated directly up the city wall, and then landed next to the soldier who was sitting on the city wall.
Silently, the soldier didn't notice Mu Xiaojiu's fall in the slightest, and he didn't even open his eyes, just closed his eyes and waited for sleepiness to come.
Mu Xiaojiu glanced back at the soldiers, shook his head slightly, and then flew down the city wall. It was only before he went down that he snapped his fingers at the soldier with a burst of energy.
"Ouch!" The soldier couldn't help but exhale in pain when he was struck by this, but when he opened his eyes and stood up to look for it, where was there anyone around the city wall?
"Hell, could it be that there is something wrong? No, I'll have to go to the infirmary tomorrow. The soldier muttered, and sat down again. However, the position hit by Mu Xiaojiu's fingers always felt a faint pain, making him unable to fall asleep at all.
At this time, it was already the middle of the moon, and there were not many places in Nanyang City where the lights were still burning, and they were basically some green buildings, gambling houses and the like. Mu Xiaojiu recalled the tallest building he saw when he came down from the city wall, and walked unhurriedly on the street.
At this time, the stores that should be closed have already closed, and the remaining stores that are not closed are basically stores that will not close. Therefore, Mu Xiaojiu is not in such a hurry.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Mu Xiaojiu stopped and couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the six-story building in front of him, which was still lit with lights and candles, and there were still light laughs, conversations, and music from time to time.
"Peach Blossom Dock? It's a good name, but I hope that the old man dies in the wine room, and he doesn't want to bow in front of the carriage and horses. The name of this place to drink flower wine is really appropriate. Mu Xiaojiu chuckled as he stepped forward and raised his hand to push open the door of Peach Blossom Dock.
Inside and outside the door, there are two worlds entirely.
"Yo, uncle, why did you come so late."
The bustards in the Central Plains are all self-familiar, and everyone they see is like they know each other. Although this Qinglou has taken an elegant name, this old bustard has no literary fan, like other old bustards, the first reaction when he saw Mu Xiaojiu was to wave a handkerchief to greet him.
Mu Xiaojiu raised his hand, signaled the old bustard not to lean over, then glanced around, and said, "Come with me, I have something to ask you." ”
The old bustard was about to sneer at his refusal, but he was suddenly frightened by the trace of killing intent that Mu Xiaojiu consciously emanated, and instantly gave up his disobedience thoughts.
"Big ...... Father-in-law, father-in-law, what do you want to ask? ”
After arriving at a corner seat where there was no one in the corner, Mu Xiaojiu sat down cross-legged, and the old bustard stood next to him like an obedient maid, and many women who were idle on the side felt a little strange.
Mu Xiaojiu didn't ask first, but first took out a silver ticket of ten taels of silver from the inner lining of the water and fire and slapped it on the table, "One pound of wine, two dishes, the wine wants the best wine in your family, and by the way, you will pour me a gourd, and the dishes will be one meat and one vegetable." And prepare me a quiet room where I will rest at night. The extra money will be given to you as a reward. ”
The old bustard looked at the silver ticket of ten taels of silver on the table, and scolded his mother in his heart. There is a lot of money to be regarded as a reward, a stack of peanuts and rice in this peach blossom dock costs a tael of silver, you want a pound of meat, a vegetable, a pound of wine, and a gourd wine, and it is the best wine, actually give ten taels of silver?
Seeing that the bustard didn't answer, Mu Xiaojiu looked at her sideways, "Think it's not enough?" In that case, I will give it according to the price, but your store may be demolished today. ”
Mu Xiaojiu didn't make the old bustard feel much killing intent, so although the old bustard was a little afraid of Mu Xiaojiu, he was not too afraid. As soon as Mu Xiaojiu's words came out, the old bustard suddenly said: "Childe, what did you say, what, you want to demolish ......"
"Not me." Mu Xiaojiu smiled and pointed to the table closest to the platform on the first floor and facing the door, "Let me ask you, have they been living here for a while?" ”
The bustard hesitated, then nodded.
"Go get me ready." Mu Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows, "If you don't want to die." ”
When he said this, the killing intent on Mu Xiaojiu's body suddenly poured out, and in the blink of an eye, it had already swept the entire first floor of Taohuawu. Many people were struck by lightning, their bodies froze instantly, and cold sweat came out directly down their backbones. The women who were dancing on the stage had their feet weak and sat down directly on the platform, and the woman who played the piano broke a string directly.
However, the guests sitting at the front of the table were all right, still drinking and eating when they should have eaten, only froze for a moment when the killing intent swept over.
"Three tables and twelve people want to kill me?" Mu Xiaojiu chuckled, "Also, how did you know that I would come to this Peach Blossom Dock?" ”
When the words fell, the killing intent on Mu Xiaojiu's body dissipated instantly, many guests shook their senses and fled from the Peach Blossom Dock in a hurry, while those women ran upstairs one after another along the stairs. The old bustard glanced at Mu Xiaojiu in a panic, and slowly retreated backwards in a trembling manner.
"We just stay in this peach blossom dock at night, and we are looking for you everywhere during the day." Among the twelve people, two burly black-bearded old men stood up at the same time, "Boy, you are so hard for us to find." ”
Mu Xiaojiu's right index finger tapped lightly on the low table in front of him, "Want to kill me?" ”
"I heard that the three-point return of the old man in the past was very powerful, and later Xiongba actually relied on the three unique skills to practice the three-in-one three-point return to the yuan, and the two of us admired it very much, and wanted to take a look. It's a pity that the male tyrant won't let go, and he will definitely exchange your head. The two of us summed it up, and those three miraculous skills were really tempting, and as a last resort, I could only borrow my life from you, boy. One of the black-bearded old men smiled strangely, and pulled out a pair of judge's pens on his back, "Boy, when you get to the Netherworld, remember that the one who took your life is our river twins!" ”
