Jiang Jinnian slowly stood up, holding the sword that had risked his brother's life to throw him.
This dark and heavy ring-headed sword was just like his mood at the moment.
He dragged the ring-shou knife and walked towards Niu Tou step by step. He walked very slowly. Every step he took seemed to step on Niu Tou's heart. Niu Tou's ugly face became increasingly pale.
He never dreamed that the guard captain who he had once manipulated would now be the only person who could decide his life or death!
"Ah! Ah! Don't come here, don't come here."
"I have money, I also have pills, I'll give them to you, I'll give them all to you, cough cough, cough cough...ah, don't come over, spare my life, please..."
Niu Tou wiped the blood that kept spilling from his mouth, and took out the treasure bag from his body, with tears and nose running down his face.
Jiang Jinnian was already standing in front of Niu Tou. He looked directly at Niu Tou and asked, "Do you want me to spare your life?"
Niutou felt relieved and nodded desperately, "Hero, please spare my life, these are all yours, cough, cough, cough..." After that, he pushed the treasure bag forward and tried to squeeze it out.
A smile, trying to make yourself look sincere.
Jiang Jinnian smiled miserably: "Then who will spare my brother's life?"
"ah?
Cough cough, cough cough..." Niutou became excited and coughed violently again. Then Niutou cried and burst into tears. He used all his strength to turn over and kowtowed to Jiang Jinnian:
"I can't help it, cough cough, cough cough... I am also following orders, I am forced to do so, please, I don't want to die!"
Jiang Jinnian lowered his head and picked up Niu Tou's hair, pulled it back hard, exposed his throat, and forced him to look at him with wide eyes.
Niutou was still praying relentlessly: "No, please, don't kill me."
Jiang Jinnian spat, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Bah, you coward, you dirty my brother's knife!"
After saying that, Jiang Jinnian wiped the cow's head with a knife.
Seeing the blood gushing from the bull's head, Jiang Jinnian seemed to have suddenly lost all his strength and fell straight to the ground.
…
Half a month ago, Ma Yuandao took several brothers from the escort team to send Gu Yuan and Yun Duoduo to a safe place. After giving Gu Yuan a detailed introduction to the various sects in the upper nine lines of Xuanjing,
Then he left on his own.
After Ma Yuandao left, Gu Yuan took Yun Duoduo to the Red Flame City, the location of the True Fire Hall.
The two of them have been in Scarlet Flame City for some time, and during this time they have been staying at the Fire Cloud Inn in Scarlet Flame City.
The Huoyun Inn has long been full, but in the past few days, many people have been coming to inquire about whether there is room for accommodation.
This is not to say that the business of Huoyun Inn is very good.
In fact, all the inns in the entire Scarlet Flame City that can accommodate people are already overcrowded.
All this is because three days later, the True Fire Hall will hold a grand apprenticeship ceremony.
Gu Yuan naturally came to the True Fire Hall. Zhang Feng had said before that it would be safer for him and Yun Duoduo to find a sect to hide in. After all, no one with the strength dared to personally search for people in other sects.
Without even thinking about it, Gu Yuan immediately brought Yun Duoduo to Scarlet Flame City after getting out of danger.
When Gu Yuan was in the Abandoned Land, he was the head of the Flame Valley, and this True Fire Hall was the upper nine sect corresponding to the Flame Valley.
Gu Yuan has an inexplicable affinity for True Fire Hall.
As long as he can pass the apprenticeship examination of the True Fire Hall, Gu Yuan feels that he will be able to shine in the True Fire Hall with the Flame Immortal Scripture.
Not to mention anything else, even the fire lamp, Gu Yuan has always been with him.
…
The True Fire Hall's Disciple Recruitment Ceremony is a huge event and is a major event in Red Flame City. Many young monks come here to become disciples of the True Fire Hall.
Most of the people staying in the inn are these people.
Because the True Fire Hall accepts a limited number of disciples each year, these people are all competitors with each other.
Since we are competitors, we will definitely not like each other. There are countless fights that break out every day because of what you look at.
Gu Yuan originally wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength did not allow him to do so. Within a few days of staying in the inn, he had the hands and feet of a second-generation ancestor named Qin Yaowei interrupted.
He couldn't blame Gu Yuan for this. Qin Yaowei saw Yun Duoduo's beauty and took advantage of him with two guards to provoke Gu Yuan.
But he never thought that Gu Yuan was a tough guy and he directly broke his hands and feet.
Seeing how fierce Gu Yuan was, everyone else in the Huoyun Inn also stopped thinking. No one dared to provoke Gu Yuan again.
Qin Yaowei, who was beaten, has been hiding in his room to recuperate for the past few days. Naturally, he couldn't swallow this breath. On the one hand, he sent a letter to his cousin, asking for help. On the other hand, he also treated his own injuries at all costs, striving not to
Delay the entry exam in a few days.
Qin Yaowei's cousin is Qin Yaozong, an inner disciple of Zhenhuo Hall.
After Qin Yaozong received the letter asking for help from his cousin, he did not immediately come to trouble Gu Yuan. He acted with some discretion and did not dare to cause trouble at the Huoyun Inn at this critical moment when the ceremony was about to take place.
Instead, he asked Qin Yaowei to wait for a while, and then deal with Gu Yuan after the limelight of the apprenticeship ceremony had passed.
After this incident, Duoduo became very well-behaved. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she kept hiding in her room and rarely came out.
Of course, there are also some people in the inn who simply come to join in the fun and gain experience.
This group of people will stand up and be the peacemakers whenever they encounter fights with others in the inn.
As for the other sects of Shangjiu Xing and the major forces in the Xuan Realm, most of them will send people to congratulate and watch the ceremony, but these people are received by Zhenhuo Hall personally and placed in a separate guest area.
Originally, Gu Yuan planned to take Yun Duoduo to earn a spot as an inner disciple, but he thought it would be better to keep a low profile. Being an inconspicuous outer disciple would make it easier for him to practice by himself.
Yun Duoduo now looks very different from her previous appearance.
In the past, Yun Duoduo was like a porcelain doll, with a standard melon-seed face, delicate facial features, a pair of smart big eyes, and crystal clear skin. She became a queen at a young age.
Now, Yun Duoduo has used the face-changing pill that Zhang Feng left for her, and her entire face has been slightly adjusted. Her features are still beautiful, but her skin is slightly darker, which weakens her appearance.
But it can also be regarded as a superior gesture.
Come to think of it, Zhang Feng was not willing to let his precious apprentice become too ugly.
Thinking of Zhang Feng, Gu Yuan suddenly felt a little aggrieved. The storage ring Zhang Feng left for him contained all the training expenses, but the only thing was that there was no money in it!
If Duoduo hadn't brought a few golden beans with him, Gu Yuan and Duoduo wouldn't even be able to eat.
Even this little golden bean has been almost wasted by Duo Duo.
