Chapter 2 The road is gone
After stumbling and stumbling, the most painful thing is that it has ended before it even started.
The two of them seemed to be in a gray area from the moment they met until now.
You are the only one missing, and I am content with everything else...
Ma Jingqian hesitated more than once, but never said what was in his heart.
We are in the early stage of the great panic in the rise of Jianghu. Perhaps because of the difference in the location of the center of gravity, in addition to the impoverished Xiongzhen, different flags have begun to appear in various places.
In such a special period, the numerous sects and gangs were as violent as the chaos back then.
Powerful city.
At this time, I received a letter and a short Tibetan sword at Wulipo outside the city.
Xu Yuan was notified that he was from Lanfeng County and rushed over immediately.
The secret reporting office in Wulipo is truly a chosen place. A quiet road runs straight through the northern part of the Sangke Grassland, leading directly to Mincheng and the outside of Lanfeng County.
While everyone was still worrying about the frozen city, Xu Yuan had already explored various places.
To this day, only Ma Jun knows about this matter, and it is precisely because of this sincerity and loyalty that he was awarded the title of Master today.
The Qiao Family Dyeing Shop had fallen into decline a long time ago, except for the buildings that seemed to be residential courtyards.
The first purpose of this is to promptly report secret information when it is received, and the second purpose is to deceive others.
As soon as the bartender saw Xu Yuan, he quickly stepped forward and held his arms.
"Shopkeeper Xu, long time no see. How are you doing?"
Because they had known each other in the leather trade market, Xu Yuan was not surprised by such a greeting at all, but what was strange was how he knew about such a hidden secret reporting point.
After receiving the delivered items, Xu Yuan pretended to be particularly nostalgic and chatted with the bartender about the past.
"Yes, at that time, Shopkeeper Xu, you were the great savior of Qiaojiazhuang, otherwise it would be really difficult to get out the backlog of goods!"
"Oh! Don't talk nonsense. This place is so majestic. A hero can't even mention his bravery!" Xu Yuan reminded the bartender with a smile, while still keeping the question in his mind, "By the way, how did you get here?" of?"
Since he had not seen his old friend for a long time, and the conversation with Xu Yuan gradually became warmer, the bartender replied without hesitation: "Shopkeeper Xu underestimated me, right? You don't know that I was in Qiaojiazhuang at that time, Oh, I haven’t traveled that road when Xiongzhen delivers goods, and the Qiao Family Dyeing Shop often goes there!”
"Really? Haha, I was really negligent, right, right!" Xu Yuanpi looked at the bartender with a smile, his eyes gradually showing murderous intent, "In that case, besides you, you know who else is here? Do you know? I don’t think many people are so familiar with you, right?"
"He's from the young master's family! Well, there are two other young masters. I dare say that apart from the two young masters, I am the only one who is most familiar with this road!"
During the chat, Xu Yuantuo felt much more at ease after speaking out, but the murderous intent in his eyes was even more obvious at this moment. He laughed slyly and patted the bartender on the shoulder, "Brother, I have to thank you. You came all the way to send a letter, and I have nothing to entertain you here. Why not come with me for a walk under the mountain, and give you two rare things by the way!"
"Hey, shopkeeper Xu sent me something. Dezi is lucky enough to say no. It's a good idea. Say no to it. It's troublesome to shopkeeper Xu again."
"No trouble, no trouble, you're welcome, brother!"
He put a hand on the bartender's shoulder and quietly looked around. When he saw a cluster of rocks on the mountainside, he walked down.
They were still talking and laughing as they passed by, but when they were about to reach the stone grove, the bartender felt something bad and frowned and stopped immediately.
"Shopkeeper Xu, you said you wanted to go down the mountain, but there is no way there. How about forget it and wait until the next time you come to the restaurant, how about I entertain you well?"
At this time, Xu Yuan's face had completely changed. The bloody scene in Wanhuifang in Bazaar Town kept flashing through his mind, "What, you changed your mind? Are you looking down on your brother? It's almost here, I buried a lot of jewels!"
"
"No...no, shopkeeper Xu was joking, just leave as you go."
It's really a quiet place. There doesn't seem to be anything strange among the rocks lying on the slope. The closer the bartender gets, the more uneasy he feels.
He started to feel a little scared. In order to prevent Xu Yuan from seeing his fear, he pretended to be calm.
But Xu Yuan, an old fox, has completely become two people since he returned from a bloody journey in the Western Regions. As long as they want to kill together, there will be no ambiguity at all.
At this time, the road on the hillside was already extremely dangerous. It was obvious that only one person could pass the road at his feet. The bartender glanced back uneasily. The moment he turned his head, he suddenly saw a terrifying scene.
It was just stones. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be made of countless white bones. He could clearly see the weathered cloth next to it, which was clearly from the former dyeing workshop.
As he slowly moved forward with uneasiness in his chest, he repeatedly pondered every detail of Xu Yuan's expression just now, until he remembered Xu Yuan's terrifying eyes at a certain moment and turned his head sharply.
"Shopkeeper Xu, I don't want your things anymore..."
Fear was revealed in his trembling voice. At this moment, Xu Yuan also revealed his murderous intention completely, "You will be able to see your old friends soon. Let's go! Why don't you go?"
"I...I beg you!"
At the last moment, the bartender's legs finally gave out and he knelt on his knees, crying and begging.
"It was you who took the road to death. I didn't force you, and I couldn't help it!" He really regarded human life as an ant. There was no chance of turning back in his crazy eyes, and he plucked it from the edge of the cliff.
He stuffed a piece of withered grass into his mouth and bit it, "Jump! If you survive after jumping, I will let you go!"
After looking for the last chance, he couldn't find it. The bartender looked at the stone bones at the bottom of the cliff and swallowed his saliva. His mind began to get confused, "Shopkeeper Xu, Grandpa Xu, you can do whatever you want me to do, can you let me go for once? Jump
You will definitely die if you go down such a high-speed train."
Xu Yuan gradually lost his patience, let out a big breath, then shook his head helplessly, and laughed, "I said you people, usually want to kill people for a few coins, don't you feel pitiful to be alive? Think about it again.
I think, if you don't die, this road is gone, and some stray people get squeezed in, how should I explain this?"
"Master Xu, Master Xu... let me go once. If Dezi dares to say even a word of it in the future, you can cut me alive again!"
"Tsk tsk! How can I do something like beheading myself alive? That will be punished by God! Will you jump or not?"
The desperate look in the bartender's eyes was probably the most impressive in his life, as if he had met a living Yama.
He thought that after this jump, he would probably lose an arm and a leg, and he would still be able to breathe in the future. He glanced at the bottom of the cliff again, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, touching the withered grass under his feet and slowly ran down.
There was a snap, bone cracking, and a desperate roar. The bartender had already broken one of his legs in two, vomiting blood from his mouth. Xu Yuan watched from a distance, took a breath of enjoyment, and suddenly laughed loudly and evilly.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, he saved his life with this jump. The bartender was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak, and he didn't know whether to express hatred or gratitude in his eyes.
But just when he thought everything was coming to an end, Xu Yuan hurried down the path, humming and singing, and walked to the pile of bones to pick a stone.
Seeing this situation, the bartender dragged his injured limb and tried to escape regardless of the pain.
Xu Yuan was not willing to let go. He ran over and hit his head several times, and his head suddenly seemed to be blooming. But even so, he still didn't stop, holding up the stone and hitting it dozens of times before he would give in.
give up.
