Chapter 224 The Bloody Case Triggered by the First Grade Cheats
Outside the inn, heavy rain fell from the sky with no sign of stopping.
Jiang Ergou silently estimated that the rain would probably last until dark.
But no matter how continuous and frightening the sound of rain, thunder, and wind was, it never frightened the people in the inn.
Ever since the group of people who called themselves the Tigers came to this inn, the tense atmosphere had reached a critical point. At this time, even if a pin dropped to the ground, it would cause many unpredictable changes.
The only ones who looked relatively relaxed were probably Jiang Ergou and the others at the table. First, they were very skilled in martial arts and had no fear, and second, they just didn't know what these people were going to do.
At this moment, Lin Yuanhuan seemed to remember something, and then whispered to Jiang Ergou and the others.
"I remembered who the Tigers are. They are a smuggling gang at the junction of Suzhou and Bianzhou. They are mainly engaged in the business of smuggling salt and iron. It is said that the Tigers have a government background, and this government background is very powerful.
They may be from the capital city. Suzhou Mu once arrested a group of ferocious men from the Tiger Clan, but for some reason they were released after three days, which made their group even more unscrupulous."
Jiang Ergou was not interested in the Tigers or anything like that. Instead, he looked at Lin Yuanhuan with great interest and said.
"By the way, your Lin family is not rooted in Lingzhou. How come you know so much about the situation in Suzhou?"
Lin Yuanhuan glanced at him angrily.
"Do you really think that it is very simple to lead a family step by step to climb to the second-rate power! There are either several generations of hard work, or there is an earth-shattering genius in the family. Our Lin family is in Lingzhou
It's true, but those who come from north to south must do some business. The local snakes in various places in Dachu, the powerful and domineering bandit forces in each area are all well aware of it. Although our second-rate forces are not
As for those first-rate forces, they know everything about the world, but we still know about some major events happening in various places."
In the following time, Lin Yuanhuan tried hard to tell Jiang Ergou about the hard work of running a family. She always felt that if she hadn't worked hard and hard over the years, she would have broken through to the first-level realm.
Jiang Ergou just listened quietly. When this young heroine, who in Jiang Ergou's eyes was supposed to be ignorant, talked about these trivial family matters, she also seemed unusually nagging.
The people at Jiang Ergou's table were chatting, and He Huaichun would also interject from time to time about family management.
The young monk Qingfa ate with a plate of vegetarian dishes, while the peach blossom girl was addicted to a large bowl of braised pork.
But except for the people at Jiang Ergou's table, everyone else was different. Although they all ordered, no one was willing to move their chopsticks. Countless people's eyes were fixed on the old man and the child.
This atmosphere lasted until nightfall. It was already approaching dusk when Jiang Ergou and others arrived at the inn. If it hadn't been for the fact that it gets dark later in the summer, it would have been dark by the time they arrived at the inn.
So after eating this meal, the sky has begun to darken, and it will probably not be long before night will cover the earth.
It was getting dark, and the atmosphere in the inn was extremely weird. It seemed that the owner of this inn had some background, so those in the inn, including the Tigers, did not choose to do anything in the inn.
In an extremely tense atmosphere, the old man suddenly stood up while holding the child's hand!
In an instant, except for Jiang Ergou and others, everyone in the inn clenched their swords, spears, axes and axes.
Although some people here are trying to protect themselves, most of them are gangsters with fierce eyes who are ready to draw their swords and kill people at any time. Of course, there are also many people here who pretend to have nothing to do and plan to fish in troubled waters.
At the critical moment, the old man did not choose to walk out of the inn, but came to the table of Ergou and the others and whispered.
"This young hero is very skilled in martial arts. If I read correctly the snap of his fingers just now, he has at least the strength of the third level. He has such a level at such a young age. It is not a bad idea to hit the first level in the future!"
After saying his compliments, the old man changed his tone
Then he continued.
"It's a pity that the young hero may encounter a catastrophe today, and I don't know if he can survive it safely. Although I believe that the young hero has a bright future, if he can't get over this hurdle today, there will be unforeseen disasters and blessings in the future!"
Jiang Ergou smiled disapprovingly and just raised his arm to the old man.
"Old sir, if you have anything to say, you might as well sit down and talk about it in detail. If you're not in a hurry, you can drink two glasses of rice wine."
Jiang Ergou winked at the young monk Qingfa, who stood up and sat next to the little peach blossom girl with understanding, making room for the young and old pair who looked like masters and servants.
The old man bowed his hand towards Jiang Ergou, then led the young man to sit down. He was not polite to the wine glass handed over by Jiang Ergou, picked it up and took a sip.
Putting down his wine glass, the old man glanced at Lin Yuanhuan intentionally or unintentionally.
"The young hero is really successful at a young age. He has great martial arts skills at such a young age, and he has such a beautiful wife. I think the young hero is also from a martial arts family in other places."
Jiang Ergou did not refute the fact that Lin Yuanhuan was his wife, which made Lin Yuanhuan sitting aside look happy.
"Old sir, you're welcome. I'm just a nobody in the world. I have no family, no sect, no family."
Naturally, the old man didn't believe these words. He could easily see third-level unknowns there!
However, in Jianghu, one should not ask the root of the problem or seek the bottom of the matter, so the old man just laughed and made a haha and did not ask for the bottom of the casserole.
"I wonder if the young hero knows anything about the group of bandits just now."
Jiang Ergou nodded.
"I heard a little bit, it seems that they are some kind of Tigers, and there is a second-level master in the gang."
The old man once again cupped his fists and raised his hands.
"It turns out that the young hero actually knows the details of this group of people. So the young hero can still sit here peacefully at this moment, so he must be confident?"
The smile on Jiang Ergou's face did not change, but he had already guessed the old man's intention, and then he spoke.
"Mr. If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. In fact, the boy has already guessed exactly what the old man is here for."
The old man smiled shyly, cupped his fists and said.
"Young hero, I don't know. This group of tigers is ruthless. I shouldn't say this. Since the third leader of the tigers just saw your wife, there is no chance of letting him go, even if the young hero is a third-grade man.
A master, after all, two fists cannot beat four hands. The Tigers are extremely powerful in the Suzhou martial arts world. It is said that they dare to fight even with six gates. I am afraid that the young hero will inevitably have conflicts with them on his way to Suzhou."
Hearing what the old man said, Jiang Ergou nodded with a serious expression.
"But I wonder what the old gentleman can do?"
The old man deliberately leaned close to Jiang Ergou's ear and whispered.
"Most of the people in this inn are here for our master and servant."
As he spoke, the old man squeezed the hand of the child next to him. The young face was full of nervousness but not much fear showed up.
"But since the young knight has also been targeted by them, he and our master and servant are both destitute people from the end of the world. The young knight may have seen that although the old man is old, he still has the strength of the third level. As long as the young knight
Promise me one thing, I will shoulder all the thieves in this inn, even if I pay for it with my life!"
The old man's words were full of determination. Life and death were right in front of him, but he had already ignored them. The only trace of concern in his eyes probably came from the child beside him.
Jiang Ergou stared at the old man's face carefully, and then turned his attention to the young child.
"This child has a good heart. I guess your condition is to entrust this child to my care!"
The old man nodded solemnly, and then made a firm promise.
"As long as the young master agrees to this matter, these people in the house will never affect the young master at all. Moreover, if the young master can protect the safety of my young master, I, the Zhang family in Suzhou, will also be very grateful! I, the Zhang family, can give the young master a
An opportunity to break through to the first level!”
Jiang Ergou
Pretending to be interested in Yipin, he asked immediately.
"I guess your Zhang family also encountered this disaster because of this opportunity to break through to the first level!"
There seemed to be tears flashing in the old man's eyes, but they only passed away briefly, and no one except Jiang Ergou saw them in a hurry.
"Young hero, I don't know. Although my Zhang family is not a top-notch family in Suzhou, the strength of the second-grade little grandmaster of the family leader is still quite important in Suzhou. Until the family leader returned seriously injured six months ago with a secret book, I, Zhang
The peace of the family has been broken. First, various businesses were suppressed by other forces. Secondly, people from the government came to investigate the background of my Zhang family. Finally, three days ago, under the instigation of the Tigers and others, Suzhou and two people
More than a dozen forces including the Four Sects launched a night attack on my Zhang family. During the crisis, the head of the family gave me a package and asked me to escape with the young master, but those people caught me and chased me."
Jiang Ergou sighed, it was another second-rate martial arts family that was harmed by that first-rate martial arts secret book.
Jiang Ergou himself is in the first-level realm and naturally cannot appreciate the value of those precious secret books. The second-level masters in the world are like a crucian carp crossing the river, but they have become common over the years. But how many first-level masters are there? Including the entire world.
Chu Nantang probably couldn't break through the hundred even if he included those on the grassland!
From this we can see how rare it is to have a first-class product in this world!
Jiang Ergou glanced at the baggage in the old man's arms, and the latter's eyes showed some vigilance and he hurriedly spoke.
"As long as the young hero agrees to take care of my young master, I, the Zhang family, will give this secret book with both hands, but it is not at this moment. The baggage in my arms has other uses. It can ensure that the young hero and others have a safe journey. Half a year ago, my Zhang family
The head of the family had guessed that there would be a disaster today, so he had already copied a copy of the secret book and hid it. Only my young master knows where the secret book is stored. As long as the young knight takes my young master with him, this secret book will be in his hands.
I just hope that after the young master finds the secret book, he can also make a copy for my young master, giving me hope that the Zhang family can avenge today’s annihilation!”
The old man became more and more excited as he talked, and you could even see some sudden blue veins on his forehead.
Jiang Ergou slowly stretched out his hand to hold the bronze bird sword beside the table, and then nodded gently.
"Okay, I agree to this matter. If the old gentleman has any detailed plans, you might as well tell him."
The old man's expression softened slightly and he seemed to be quite relaxed.
"Young hero, don't worry. I have already considered all the follow-up matters. Later, I will leave alone with the secret book. Those people will definitely come after me to ensure that everything is safe. At that time, young hero
You only need to take them as far away from here as possible, and return to Bianzhou immediately after getting the secret book. As for the young hero in Suzhou, he doesn’t want to go there for the time being, but as long as the secret book is in hand, the young hero will be able to break through to the first level. By then, this
There is nowhere in the world to go!"
Jiang Ergou nodded again, agreeing, and the old man stroked the young man's face for the last time, and then gave instructions.
"Master, no matter when the time comes, the most important thing is to survive! As long as you are alive, our Zhang family is not done yet."
This boy is so young that even if he nods hard and heavily, he still has a sense of joy and is even lovable.
At the end, the old man picked up the baggage and stood up and said the last words to Jiang Ergou.
"Young hero, I can hold these people back for a day and a night. I hope you can leave Suzhou as soon as possible!"
After he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated and walked out of the inn with a knife that looked like he had taken it casually.
With one move, the whole body was moved. As the old man left, everyone in the inn stood up, with the swords in their hands already half an inch out.
There was drizzle in the gloomy sky outside the house, and the road washed by the heavy rain was muddy. The old man's rickety figure seemed to be swallowed up by the dark world soon.
Standing at the door, the old man smiled sadly, with some self-deprecation in his words.
"Master, for a secret book, for an illusory opportunity that you can't grasp, you can't grasp it firmly! Is it worth it?"
The next moment, the old man's figure disappeared at the door of the inn, and the inn suddenly exploded. At this time, thousands of words were condensed into one word!
