she won't live to twenty

Uncle Zhao's voice was hoarse, and he was in severe pain. Subconsciously, he wanted to turn around and escape, but in a panic, he bumped into Scar, and the two fell backward together.

The door slammed shut with a creak.

Before the two could make a sound, three figures fell from the beam. Two sharp scimitars, one on the left and one on the right, just touched the throats of the two, with blood oozing out.

Where was the ghost on the wall just now, it was clearly the shadows of the three of them!

Wuming made a silent gesture, smiled lightly and said, "Don't make any noise, or the next moment, your heads will fall to the ground."

Wuming's smile was extremely gentle, but in the eyes of the two of them at this moment, it was even more terrifying than evil spirits.

"Did you see the blood on the carriage?" Wuming said softly, "Those are bandits. They don't have eyes and want to kill us, so we fought back a little bit. Hmm... probably killed a hundred or eighty mountain bandits." There are not many bandits, about the same as the number of people in your village."

Nameless smiled, threatening nakedly.

Murderous aura quietly filled every corner of the room.

Scar's face was pale, a stench came from his body, and he was so frightened that he lost control of himself.Uncle Zhao also backed away in panic. His neck was cut with a scimitar and there was a horrible cut. Blood continued to flow down and stained his clothes.

Nameless stepped back and sat on the bed, bent over and looked at the two with a smile: "But don't worry, I'm not a demon addicted to murder. As long as you answer my questions obediently, I will consider letting your life go. How about it?" ?”

Scar nodded vigorously.

Uncle Zhao didn't cover his mouth anymore, but covered the wound on his neck, and froze in the corner of the wall, as if he had been frightened stupid.

The nameless scimitar returned to its sheath, and he raised Scar's chin with the dagger: "The first question, are you human teeth?"

Dao Scar wanted to nod anxiously, but he was afraid that the point of the sword would pierce his throat, so he tremblingly said: "...Yes. The heroine, please forgive me...We..."

"Shut up." Wuming's face suddenly turned cold, "You just need to answer my question, don't say a word of anything else, understand?"

When asked the last three words, Wuming returned to his smile.

Wu Ming learned this trick from his second master. Back then, the three of them, master and apprentice, had wandered through the rivers and lakes, and of course they had encountered many unruly people.The second master threatened them like this every time, sometimes blushing and sometimes white, looking like a crazy lunatic, but it was very effective.Those with weaker psychological endurance may be directly frightened and faint.

Scar opened his mouth, only daring to make an "ah, ah" sound.

"Second question, where did you originally plan to sell the three of us?"

Scar trembled and replied: "The brothel... or in a more remote mountain... you ladies are beautiful, and it may be at the ruins of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the rich and noble families there... may even sacrifice you , Sacrificial to Six Eyes."

"Six Eyes?" Wuming raised his eyebrows, "That dilapidated statue in the village?"

"……Yes."

Although the beliefs of various parts of Daqin are varied, those who use living people to sacrifice are undoubtedly evil gods that are not tolerated by the law.Tang Chiyu originally had kind thoughts towards them, but it had dissipated here.These people in the village... are no different from bandits in the mountains, or even horse thieves in Weibei.Tang Chiyu's kind thoughts are only for innocent people, as for bandits and horse thieves who kill people, they are never within the scope of her pity.

Even the kind-hearted master, when he encountered such a situation when he traveled around the rivers and lakes, he would just stand aside silently and watch Wuming and the second master kill each other.

Wuming's eyes were cold, but his smile did not change. He continued to ask: "The third question, how many people have you killed or sold?"

"I...can't remember..." Dao Scar's eyes were cloudy, and a line of tears fell down his cheeks, "Too many..."

Scar was trembling all over while finishing speaking, Uncle Zhao suddenly ignored the wound on his neck and rushed towards Nanyue like a beast!His eyes were bloodshot, obviously he saw that Nan Yue was the weakest of the three and wanted to put her to death.

"Even if I'm going to die, I want you to be buried with me!" Uncle Zhao's face was distorted, his voice was not loud but extremely hoarse.

Wuming swung his sword sharply, and the sword hit his neck. At the same time, a short arrow flew out of Nanyue's arm and shot through Uncle Zhao's jaw.

"Ah..." Before he could scream out, his head was severed by Jian Gang and separated from his body.

With another strike, Scar died silently.

The walls and wooden doors were covered in blood.

Wuming hugged Nanyue to avoid the splashing blood, and sighed softly.She picked up Nanyue's short arrow, wiped it carefully, and gently pressed the short arrow back into the dark crossbow, then clenched the scimitar in her hand, ready to kick the door out.

But Nanyue grabbed her cuff at this moment: "Wu Ming, let's go to Yanbei City to report to the officials."

Wuming turned around and gave a soft "hmm", Tang Chiyu didn't say much, the three of them got into the carriage, quietly knocked out several villagers who were standing guard at the entrance of the village, and disappeared into the vast night.

Nanyue asked Wuming and Tang Chiyu to report to the officials just now, not out of pity for the villagers, but to let the three of them rest for a while.In the two months before the trip, although they also encountered some bad things, they generally had a relatively easy time.But after going up the Huaihe River, he first encountered the flood in Fengcheng, killing the sailors and the prefect, and later, during the fifteen days of Wuming's management of the flood, he inevitably killed some people who wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.

After the flood was over and they left Fengcheng, they encountered group after group of bandits, so now half of the carriage was stained with mud and half with blood.When we arrived in the small village, we were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and rest for the night. Who knew that the whole village was full of idiots who believed in evil gods.This time it was not only Wuming and Tang Chiyu, but even when Uncle Zhao pounced on Nanyue just now, she knew that Wuming would not let him touch her, but she still couldn't control it and shot a hidden arrow without hesitation.

None of the three of them were murderers, even if they killed all the heinous villains along the way, they were tired of killing them.

Just now when Uncle Zhao and Dao Scar fell to the ground and Wuming let out a long sigh, Nan Yue felt that they couldn't kill any more and needed to rest.

Furthermore, there are hundreds of people in the small village, including old people and children. How should the three of them judge the crimes of the villagers?Rather than killing them all, it is better to go to Yanbei City to report to the officials, leave the matter to the court for decision, and give them some time to rest.

The carriage was speeding through the mountains and forests, and when it arrived at Yanbei, it was already midnight.

Yanbei County is just a small city at the foot of Jishan Mountain, without even a decent city wall.It was already late at night, but people could still be seen on the street, and the whole town was shrouded in a strange red light.

As he got closer, Wuming saw countless red lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, and the bells rang strangely with the wind.Residents in the city came out of their houses one after another, moving slowly in the same direction, stopping and going, mumbling something from time to time, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.

Wuming slowed down the speed of the carriage and wanted to follow the residents to have a look, but was stopped by someone.

"Girls are from outside, right?" A man with a mustache walked out from the crowd, "My house happens to be an inn, and the price is absolutely fair, girls, do you want to take a look?"

Wuming didn't answer the man immediately, but looked in the direction of the crowd and asked, "What are they doing?"

"Tomorrow is the night of the full moon. According to the rules, people in the city will wake up in the middle of the night to worship the gods." Mustache explained, sneaking closer, winking and whispering, "But I have already gone to worship in advance." Bye bye, it doesn't matter if you don't go now."

Wuming was amused by the appearance of a profiteer with a mustache who would rather not worship the gods than to win the business, and raised his head to motion for him to lead the way.Anyway, it was midnight now, and there was no one in the county government office, so I had to wait until tomorrow morning to report to the officials.

"Girl, follow me." Mustache smiled and walked to the other side.

Soon they arrived at an inn on the edge of the city. The scale of Yanbei City was small, and the inn was also very simple. There was a cow tied up in the yard behind it.Xiao Huzi scratched his head with a smile and said, "Yanbei is a remote place, and the inn can't make much money, so we have to farm to subsidize the family."

As he said that, Mustache enthusiastically wanted to help lead the horse, but Wuming's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Mustache took a step back in a daze.

Wuming returned to his smile the next moment: "I'm sorry, I met some bandits on the road, and I'm a little nervous."

It wasn't because of bandits, but after seeing Uncle Zhao's two faces, Wuming couldn't relax his vigilance towards strangers for a short time.

"It's okay, it's okay." Mustache shook his head.The news in Yanbei City was not as closed as in the village. Xiao Huzi had heard about the appearance of three bandit-killing female gods in the mountains. When he saw the blood on the carriage, he immediately guessed what it was, so naturally he didn't dare to say more.

Wuming tied up the horses himself, and Nanyue and Tang Chiyu also got off the carriage. It could be seen from a distance that the sacrifice to the gods was over, and the residents returned to their homes each carrying a red lantern.

Wuming saw the red lantern, and the sculpture of the six-eyed evil god he had seen in the village flashed through his mind, with several red lanterns hanging on it.

"Brother, what god are you worshiping?" Wuming turned to look at the mustache and asked softly.

The mustache just wanted to speak, but recalled that before the lame man left today, he looked at the image inscrutablely, and said the phrase "bloody disaster", his teeth froze inexplicably.

"What's wrong, little brother?" Wuming asked.

Mustache shook his head: "It's nothing...but we can't call the gods by their names directly. If the three girls are curious, they can go and see for themselves tomorrow. However, there is some chaos in Yanbei City, and the girls had better keep a low profile."

"Thank you for the reminder." Wuming lowered his eyes to think for a moment, then suddenly smiled lightly, "Brother, the three of us only need one room. Of course, we will pay for two rooms."

The mustache's complexion had just collapsed, and he immediately smiled when he heard Wuming's last sentence: "Okay! Three girls, call me anytime you need anything!"

Entering the room, Tang Chiyu stretched and sat on the chair, and said a little sullenly: "Wu Ming, Yan Beicheng also gave me a strange feeling, the god you said they worship...could it be that six Eyes? But that small village is in the mountains, and Yanbei is completely outside the mountains, so it’s a county seated by a government, so it shouldn’t be open to worship evil gods, right?”

"I don't know." Wuming shook his head, took Nanyue's finger, and gently opened the window to look out. The red lanterns had already been extinguished, and the street was very quiet.

"Kaiyang is such a prosperous place, and it's not far from Changjing. The county magistrate has all gone together with Huang Landlord's family. There is also Fengcheng... let alone the remote Yanbei." Wuming closed the window again, and said softly , "No matter what, let's rest well tonight, everything will be discussed tomorrow."

Nan Yue, who had been silent since getting off the carriage, nodded, raised her head sleepily and yawned.Wuming lightly scratched the tip of her nose, and blew out the candles in the room.

……

It was already the morning of the second day when we arrived at the county government office.

The statue in the center of the small town was covered by a red cloth, so it was hard to tell what was inside.It is impossible for Wuming to arrogantly lift the cloth cover to find out in broad daylight, that would be too disrespectful of the Yanbei people's beliefs.

There were not many yamen servants in the county yamen, and the county magistrate was drinking tea leisurely in the back garden, and he did not go out leisurely until the drum outside the yamen was sounded.

Seeing three strange and beautiful girls standing at the door, the county magistrate turned his cloudy eyes, and when he saw Wuming and Tang Chiyu holding swords at their waists, the county magistrate silently looked away and sat down in the courtroom: "Three girls! Why did you report to the official?"

Wuming didn't intend to talk nonsense with him, and when he was about to throw the Princess' badge into his hands, a stumbling figure suddenly rushed in from outside.

"My lord! I am a villager in the mountains, you must be the master of our village!" The man knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Last night, three female devils broke into our village and brutally killed two villagers! You know , Our village has not paid taxes every year, but they are all a group of honest people!"

The county magistrate frowned and stroked the beard on his chin: "It seems that there is such a group... I heard that almost all the bandits in Jishan were killed by them."

On the surface, the county magistrate seemed to be thinking about countermeasures, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get rid of this mess.Although he had never seen the villager in front of him, he knew that there were no good people in that small village in the mountains, and it didn't matter if one or two died.But those three female devils who chopped up robbers like carrots, he definitely couldn't afford to provoke them.

"Sir... Your lord!" The man who reported the crime just stood up, when he met Wuming's smiling face, and his body trembled suddenly, "It's, it's them! You, you, bring them to justice!"

The county magistrate didn't expect that the three girls who reported the case were actually the devil who killed bandits, and the fingers stroking their beards froze for a moment.

He licked his lips, tried his best to squeeze out a kind smile, and looked at Wuming: "Girl, there must be some misunderstanding, right? He must have admitted the wrong person."

"My lord, I'm not mistaken! It's them!" the man yelled loudly.

The county magistrate tried hard to wink at Wu Ming.

Wuming also laughed softly: "Sir, we did kill him."

The few yamen servants in the county government immediately became tense, drew their swords and surrounded the three of them.

County magistrate: "..."

The county magistrate stepped back without a trace, ready to escape from the lobby at any moment.

The nameless dagger came out of its sheath, pressed against the man's neck, and at the same time threw the princess' badge to the county magistrate.

"We temporarily stayed in the village last night. We didn't expect them to be a group of people and even attacked us, so we had no choice but to fight back. It is precisely because of this that we came to the city to report to the officials." Wuming smiled and looked at the county. make.

The county magistrate saw the words on the waist card clearly, but he did not expect that Yanbei, who was not shitting, would welcome a princess. He knelt down tremblingly and said: "Your Highness...Your Highness is right, they violated the law. Trafficking human beings illegally, and even being so bold as to take action against members of the royal family... is a crime worthy of death!"

Wuming noticed that the county magistrate's fear was entirely out of fear of her identity. When he learned that there was a trade in human teeth in the village, there was no surprise on his face.

"What are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and put this villain in the cell!" The county magistrate pointed at the man who reported the case, and the yamen servants immediately grabbed him and dragged him back.

Wuming raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued: "We also learned that they used living people to worship evil gods... It seems to be called Six Eyes. The laws of the Qin State clearly prohibit such sacrifices. Sir, take a look...?"

"I, I will send someone to the village to investigate thoroughly!" The county magistrate shouted.

Wuming nodded in satisfaction, and asked again: "By the way, there seems to be a god enshrined in Yanbei City, who is it?"

The county magistrate's expression was visibly stiff.

Hearing these words, the man who was dragged away shouted hoarsely: "The one enshrined in Yanbei City is Liuyan...! The county magistrate knows everything, he, uh..."

The yamen servant suddenly covered his mouth.

At this time, the nameless dagger had not yet returned to its sheath, she took the handkerchief from Nanyue, wiped the cold edge of the sword, and raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood..." The county magistrate just stood up, and knelt down again in fear, "Although Liuyan is enshrined in Yanbei City, it has never sacrificed the lives of living people. It is absolutely impossible for the lower officials to tolerate such Something happened! Six Eyes is not an evil god, but their village has gone awry, don’t worry, Your Highness, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and will never let a traitor who caress about human life!"

"Then go." Wuming waved his hand.

Seeing the three female devils walk out of the county office, the county magistrate finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, but instead of setting out to investigate the village immediately, he walked quickly into the garden of the county office.The county government pressed on the pillars of the hexagonal pavilion, and a secret passage appeared in the pavilion.

The county magistrate lit a torch and walked deep into the secret passage. After walking for an unknown amount of time in the dark and dull passage, there were several turns and turns, and finally there was another staircase.The county magistrate walked up the stairs, tapped three times on the ceiling, and soon the upper mechanism was opened, and the county magistrate walked out along the stairs.

Outside the secret passage is a magnificent room with a vulgar smell of gold dust everywhere. Calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls of the room, but they are not famous works. All of them are only written with the four characters "Six Eyes Teaching". It is also the six eyes of six eyes and five hands.A long-haired man was sitting at the desk, puffing and smoking a pipe.

In front of the long-haired man, the dignified county magistrate not only showed no airs, but knelt down obsequiously and said in a trembling voice, "Master, something is wrong."

"What's the matter?" The leader took another puff enjoying himself, then put down his pipe and glanced at him coldly, which made the county magistrate sweat profusely.

County magistrate: "I don't know if the leader has heard of it, but these three female killers came to Mount Tianji these days, killing the bandits! When they stayed in the small village in the mountain yesterday, they discovered the activities of the village's people. It was also found that they sacrificed living people to Liuyan. Just now they went to the county government to report the case! What's more terrible is that one of them is the princess of the imperial court, what should I do?"

"What to do, what to do."

The man known as the leader said nonsense, but the county magistrate didn't dare to refute at all, he only dared to follow his words: "The meaning of the leader is... I will send people to wipe out the village and kill the people in the village. Kill them all, and let them take the blame for offering sacrifices to the evil gods. We will keep the three female killing gods a secret until they leave Yanbei?"

The leader didn't answer, but lowered his head and sipped his tea.

The county magistrate continued: "But my lord, tonight's Six Eyes Ceremony... shall we still hold it? What should we do if they find out?"

"What do the three of them look like?" The leader finally raised his head and looked directly into the county magistrate's eyes.

The county magistrate trembled: "Very, very good."

"That's it." The leader pursed his lips and chuckled, "The sacrifice will be held as usual. If they happen to catch up with the ceremony and find out the clues, then use them as sacrifices. The princess of the imperial court... I think Six Eyes will like it very much. This noble offering of blood."

"But, but..." the county magistrate said in a daze, "One of them is the princess, and the other two must have high status. If they died in Yanbei City, how should I explain to the court! Not to mention their martial arts Not too low, we can't beat them."

The leader propped his chin with both hands, and there was a coldness in his smile: "It is because of their noble status that they must be allowed to die in Yanbei City. Do you think they are stupid? They believe whatever you say? You can't hide it. Yes, as soon as they leave Yanbei, I'm afraid they will send a letter back to the capital, and let the big figures in the court come to investigate, and you and I will die at that time. But if we keep them in Yanbei, we still have a chance of survival. "

The magistrate took a step back in horror.The leader is right, the two of them have teamed up these years... No, it wasn't a joint team, he was forced to!In short, if the things they did in the city were discovered by the court, let alone them, I am afraid that their families would also suffer.

"But the three of them have strong martial arts skills, we may not be able to deal with them..." the county magistrate said in a low voice.

"So what about strong martial arts?" The leader closed his eyes and took another puff of cigarettes. The smoke he exhaled was lingering, blocking the county magistrate's sight. "We have hundreds of BMWs and thousands of people. We got weapons from Weibei. There is also a lot of armor, even relying on crowd tactics, Yan can drown them. You know, even a first-rank master in the rivers and lakes can only defeat a hundred cavalry. But after killing a hundred cavalry arrogantly? Exhausted , died among the crowd."

The county magistrate's scalp was numb, but he didn't dare to disobey the leader's words, so he nodded in agreement.

It wasn't until he walked into the secret passage again that the magistrate dared to bend down and cough loudly for a while, obviously he was choked by the smoke just now.

……

On the other side, the three Wuming people left the county government office. The statue was still covered with a layer of red cloth. Although it was almost noon, the streets were still empty.

Going back to the inn to order a table of dishes, Wuming asked Xiao Huzi abruptly: "Brother, you worship Liuyan, do you use living people as sacrifices?"

The author has something to say: oh
