Facing Lin Yi's aggressive gaze, the man did not dare to look at him and lowered his head in fear. His body also trembled.
The woman seemed determined. She shouted to Lin Yi in a hissing voice: "We won't tell you, kill us! Our people will avenge us. You can't escape..." Then the woman continued
He shouted at the man: "You can't say it either! You can't say it. If you say it, you will be sorry for my ancestors and my master!"
Lin Yi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He knew that this woman was here and this man would not speak.
Lin Yi said: "What a heroine, I admire you. Okay, then I will help you!"
After Lin Yi finished speaking, the southern master who controlled the woman pulled the sword across her neck, and the woman's neck was cut. Blood spurted from her neck and she fell to the ground.
Seeing the woman being killed and falling to the ground, and the shopkeeper feeling as if he had been struck by electricity, he trembled and said to himself: "I told you not to mess with them, but you didn't listen to me, and now it's all over..."
Lin Yi saw that the shopkeeper was cowardly, so he lowered his voice and said to the shopkeeper: "You are not finished yet. As long as you tell me honestly who you are and why you want to kill me, I will spare your life. Think about it, can you still
There are two children. If you die, they will become orphans..."
The shopkeeper's spirit was completely shattered at this moment. He hurriedly said: "I said, I just want to ask you a favor."
Lin Yi said: "Say."
The shopkeeper glanced at Xiaotong and the others, and then said to Lin Yi: "I can only tell the two heroes. The other two heroes promised me not to reveal it. Otherwise, I will still die."
Lin Yi motioned to the little boy and the others to go out first.
The little boy and the southern experts left the inn first.
Only Lin Yi, Zeng Tengyun and the shopkeeper were left in the hall.
Lin Yi said: "Don't worry, my brother and I will never betray you. You can say it now."
The shopkeeper said: "We are from Tianji Palace..."
As soon as the shopkeeper said this, Lin Yi was shocked. He never expected that these people turned out to be people from Tianji Palace. The people from Tianji Palace actually wanted to kill him!
Zeng Tengyun looked confused after hearing this. He said: "Tianji Palace? According to the elders, Tianji Palace has been destroyed for decades. Why did it pop up again? Damn it, you are trying to fool us!"
The shopkeeper was surprised: "The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare..."
Lin Yi knew something about Tianji Palace, so he knew that the shopkeeper was telling the truth.
Lin Yi said to Zeng Tengyun: "Don't be impatient and let him continue talking."
The shopkeeper continued to say to Lin Yi: "Three days ago, the higher-ups sent out a portrait. The person in the painting is you, the hero. The higher-ups ordered that as soon as they see you, they will do everything possible to kill you. However, Tianji Palace is very hierarchical, and we
The level is so low that I don't dare to ask who the person in the portrait is. I can only follow orders. Besides, except for the person who often contacts us, I don't know who the other disciples are."
Lin Yi said: "Then do you know who your master is?"
The shopkeeper said with a sad face: "I don't know. I only know that there is an owner, but I don't know who the owner is."
After hearing this, Lin Yi thought that the Tianji Palace was very strict, with only one line of communication, and even the shopkeeper at the level did not know who the owner was. It was really extremely strict, beyond what ordinary people thought.
He then thought again, if it hadn't been so strict, Tianji Palace would have been wiped out long ago after being hunted by the emperor for decades. How could it still survive to this day?
Tianji Palace is really not to be underestimated.
Lin Yi asked again: "How did you join Tianji Palace?"
The shopkeeper said: "My wife's parents are from Tianji Palace. Tianji Palace has rules. If you become a person from Tianji Palace, your descendants must also be from Tianji Palace. After I married her, she later told me the truth, and I also
So I joined Tianji Palace. We can get a salary every month. Tianji Palace will also help us solve any troubles we have. I still feel very good. But now..."
When the shopkeeper said this, he started sobbing like a girl.
Lin Yi stood up, knowing that the shopkeeper was not lying.
Lin Yi said: "I promised you that I will spare your life as long as you say so. I won't kill you, just take care of yourself."
The shopkeeper hurriedly kowtowed to Lin Yi to thank him for his eternal kindness.
Lin Yi said to Zeng Tengyun: "Brother Zeng, it's unlucky here. It's impossible to sleep on the hot bed. Let's go and find another place to live."
Zeng Tengyun also stood up. He kicked the shopkeeper and said, "Damn it, if you and your wife don't mean any harm, everyone will be happy. Now your family is ruined and you're forcing me to walk in the snow on New Year's Eve."
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he didn't dare to bite again.
Lin Yi and Zeng Tengyun left the store and headed out in the snow and wind.
In the store, the shopkeeper looked at his wife, sister-in-law, brother-in-law and the thin-faced man whose flesh and blood were in a pool of blood. He collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up.
I don't know how long it took, but someone suddenly kicked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper raised his head and saw three masked men standing in front of him, each carrying a sword. The leader was a tall man. His face could not be seen, but his eyes were like cat eyes.
The shopkeeper was surprised: "Who are you?!"
The cat-eye man said: "The secret of heaven is bright."
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Everyone is at home."
The cat-eyed man nodded, and the shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief. These three masked men were all from Tianji Palace.
The cat-eye man said to the shopkeeper: "What did you say to those people?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "No, I didn't say anything. You have to believe me..."
The cat-eyed man sneered and said, "It doesn't matter."
After that, the cat-eyed man stabbed the shopkeeper in the chest with his sword, and the shopkeeper fell to the ground and died.
The cat-eyed man returned the sword to its sheath, and ordered the other two men: "Carry his body away."
The other two masked men carried the body of the thin-faced man outside the store, while the cat-eyed man broke the wine jars in the store, causing the wine to flow all over the floor. Then the cat-eyed man set a fire and left.
The cat-eye man and two of his men carried the body of the thin-faced man on their backs and walked northwest for more than ten miles in the wind and snow, entering a village at the foot of the mountain. They arrived at a house in the village.
There was a man sitting on the Kang in the house, pouring himself a drink.
This man is clearly a Tianjizi.
Tianjizi looked gloomy at the moment, as if he was worried.
The cat-eye man placed the body of the thin-faced man on the ground. Tianjizi looked at the body of the thin-faced man, his face suddenly looked very painful. He slowly closed his eyes, and two turbid tears flowed out.
The cat-eye man said to Tianjizi: "Master, the weather is too bad. Even though we rushed as hard as we could after receiving the news, we were still a step too late. We were unable to stop Xiaofeng."
Tianjizi opened his eyes and said, "How could this happen?"
Maoyan said: "Neither the shopkeeper nor his wife knew who the person in the portrait was, so they reported it to the police as usual. It turned out that the person above them was drinking with Xiaofeng and got drunk. This bastard didn't even explain the situation to Xiaofeng. Only
It was said that an enemy from Tianji Palace appeared, so Xiaofeng took people there. As a result, he was killed by Zeng Tengyun from Shili Killing Field. I have already killed the shopkeeper and that bastard..."
Tianjizi waved his hand towards the cat-eye people, beckoning them to leave.
The cat-eye man took his men out.
Tianjizi came down from the kang with a glass of wine. He walked to the body of the thin-faced man, poured the wine on him, and said sadly: "Xiaofeng, it was your father who harmed you..."
