The rivers and lakes can't stand it

It was already dark, the lights on the street were all turned off, only a few inns were buzzing with people and horses neighing, obviously the business was booming, but they were all far away.

Qiu Zhuoxue walked slowly on the road, only to hear Yue Mizhe say: "Since Fu Shouxin came out with good hands and feet, it seems that it is not him?"

"Who does Brother Yue think of me?" Qiu Zhuoxue couldn't help but smile, "How can I be so rude, but it's really not him."

Yue Mijin said indifferently: "So, the clue is broken again?"

"Not necessarily." Qiu Zhuoxue told Yue Mijinzai what she learned about Fu Shouxin's receipt of the letter in court before, "Yijiang Haishi and Fu Shouxin's uncle and nephew are capable, but I can't find this person. It shows that this person is extremely cautious."

Yue Mizu couldn't figure out where the clues were: "That's right, then what?"

The night wind was blowing, and Yue Mijin put his hand on the water-covering sword. He turned his head and looked at Qiu Zhuoxue quietly.

"This reminds me of something." Qiu Zhuoxue's eyes were brighter than starlight, "Mingyueying once said a word in front of Lanzhu's tomb, and almost none of the people she captured before told the truth." It shows that this employer is obviously very cautious, and specially hired people who are tight-lipped to do things, or those people don't know what they are going to do at all."

Yue Mijin suddenly interjected: "Except for Karaya."

This made Qiu Zhuoxue couldn't help laughing: "That's right, except for Karaya, that's the problem."

Yue Mijin was about to speak, when a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, he immediately understood Qiu Zhuoxue's meaning: "You mean, this task was deliberately entrusted to Karaya!"

"It's not bad at all." Qiu Zhuoxue nodded and said, "Although I don't know how much that person paid, I know how much the killer who killed Karaya asked for, and I also know how much my whereabouts are worth. In conversion, this At least this sum of money is enough for a person like me to live a happy life for a year."

Yue Mizu took a look at him: "Sometimes you don't spend money, and sometimes you spend a lot of money, but it can make you live a comfortable life for a year, which is definitely not a small amount. Such a valuable task is not something that any cat or dog can do." It can be taken from the hands of the cornucopia, let alone fall on Karaya's head."

"Yeah, Karaya has not been in the Central Plains not long ago, and he may have good skills, but no one knows what his character is, and whether his reputation is guaranteed." Qiu Zhuoxue said, "Not to mention, he has been hunted down recently. Everyone knows that Qiu Zhuoxue and Yue Mijin are safe."

Yue Mijin frowned, and continued: "Once Karaya takes over this task, you are the most likely person to be suspicious."

The grace of saving my life is enough to make any pair of iron teeth open their mouths, even clearing the maze. Such a task should not cause such a big trouble for Karaya.

The people behind the scenes are so cautious, no matter how secretive they are, it is impossible for them to be so negligent.

"Unless, whether Karaya says it or not, it won't do him any harm."

If Kalaya opened his mouth and told Qiu Zhuoxue about Lan Zhu, then Mingyueying obviously had no way to avoid it; Zhuoxue is also bound to investigate and confront her.

The important thing is not Karaya, but the autumn snow.

From the very beginning, it was a cage within a cage, a set within a set, eager to drag Qiu Zhuoxue into this chaos.

Yue Mijin was about to speak again, when he suddenly smelled the faint scent of wine in the wind, Qiu Zhuoxue obviously smelled it too, he sniffled, turned around suddenly, completely deviated from the road back to the inn, turned into the wine scent four overflowing alley.

It was only then that the two discovered that there was actually a small tavern open in the alley, and the smell of wine was wafting from the tavern, Qiu Zhuoxue simply lifted the curtain.

The tavern is small, but very simple. The big-bellied wine jars are spread out, and there is a wooden board on the earthen platform. There is a large pot on the wooden board, which is filled with marinade, and the marinade is filled with all kinds of marinated vegetables. There are five meats and seven vegetables, such as dried tofu, eggs, hoof flowers, pork belly, etc., are now soaked into a thick brown sugar color, sinking and floating in the juice, and the color is bright and attractive.

The owner of the tavern is an unpretentious middle-aged couple.

The man is lowering his head and carefully cutting a chicken. His knife is fast and his technique is very neat, as if countless chickens have been cut on this cutting board; With a rustling sound, she pulled out five live, drunk crabs.

The crab legs were moving feebly. The proprietress neatly disassembled the crab, took the gills, cut it into four pieces and put them in the crab cover. Wiping the blue and white apron on the table, he brought the wine and crabs to the table.

As the saying goes, crabs are fat and chrysanthemum yellow, and the crabs will really get fat in autumn, and this is not the time yet. Not only are there no gold in the cover of these five choking crabs, but the meat that should be as moist as white jade is also as thin as lime.

Fortunately, the guests didn't dislike it. They pinched the claws of the crab and held the wine glass, sucking their tongues loudly. They seemed to be eating happily and had a lot of appetite.

Qiu Zhuoxue looked around, the tavern was not big, there were only five tables and a dozen benches, and there was still one empty, so he just dragged Yuemazin to sit down.

The room is very warm, perhaps because of the summer night, the heat mingled the smell of wine, food, and various spices in the marinade, and walking in was like drinking a jar of strong wine, which was amazing. A little drunk, the smell of wine also has a strange smell of food mixed together, which makes the gluttons in people's stomachs scream.

Qiu Zhuoxue just thinks that drinking here until dawn is not a problem.

He ordered a jug of wine, three kinds of vegetarian stew, two kinds of meat stew, the drunken crab is choking, although the taste is extraordinary, but cold in nature, the more you eat with wine, the more delicious it is, it is easy to hurt your body, so he didn't want it.

The food and wine were served very quickly, Qiu Zhuoxue drank half of the wine scooped out by the proprietress in one go, and everyone was stunned.

It is rare to have such a refreshing guest in the tavern. The proprietress couldn't help but come forward to pour wine for him. Although she is middle-aged, she still has the same charm. When delivering wine, there are often drinkers who make fun of her, and she doesn't mind. , also ignored.

But when she walked to Qiu Zhuoxue's table, the proprietress suddenly gently helped her hair, her pointed willow eyebrows were curved and thin, reminiscent of the crescent moon in the sky, and her voice suddenly became delicate: "Guest The officer has a good drinker, I will pour the wine for you."

A drinker who was acquainted with the proprietress immediately laughed and scolded: "Lao Li, you woman, you can't move your legs when you meet a young man. This is the first time I have seen her with this virtue."

The boss just laughed a few times honestly, without echo, as if he was used to being teased.

This is not surprising, the people who come to this kind of place to drink are naturally unlikely to be high-ranking officials, let alone literati.

The landlady's hands are used to the work, so they look very rough, but after all, she is old, wandering around in the market, and her manners have some charm that little girls don't have.

Qiu Zhuoxue picked up the wine bowl calmly and waited for the proprietress to pour it.

The bowl is very flat, it will be filled up in a short while, the wine is a bit muddy, but it has an enticing aroma, Qiu Zhuoxue should have drank it all in one gulp, but he turned his eyes and suddenly smiled at Yue Mi: "Brother Yue wants Don't want to take a sip?"

With a slight turn of his hand, he put it on Yue Mijin's lips.

Yue Mizu looked at him expressionlessly, then suddenly lowered his head, as if he wanted to drink wine from his hand, but Qiu Zhuoxue turned his wrist, and put the wine bowl in front of her again, and said with a smile: " Brother, aren't you afraid that there is poison in this wine?"

The proprietress's face froze all of a sudden: "Guest is really drunk, you just drank so much, how could this homemade wine be poisonous?"

"That's right." Qiu Zhuoxue chuckled, "I was just joking, the proprietress poured wine for me so hard, should I invite the proprietress to drink this bowl of wine first?"

He has a handsome face, not to mention that none of the rascals in the tavern are good-looking, even if he is sitting in the tavern surrounded by a group of young talents, no one can compare to him.

In the hands of Qiu Zhuoxue, this earthy brown wine bowl looks like a high-quality lacquerware, and the slightly swaying wine is like amber congealing light and bee jelly making honey.

No one can refuse.

The proprietress put down the jug and smiled coquettishly: "The guest officer is so generous."

She was about to take the wine bowl with both hands, when Qiu Zhuoxue suddenly waved her fan with the other hand, pressed it lightly on her hands, and said with a smile: "Why bother Boss, I said I would like to invite you for this bowl. I want to ask to the end."

Feeding wine to such a beautiful man really makes the proprietress fascinated, but she is not only fascinated, but also her liver and gallbladder are split right now, her face is pale, and she stammered: "Why...how can I call a guest..."

Qiu Zhuoxue's voice was sweet and sweet: "Please drink." The corners of his eyes and brows were also full of smiles.

Even with such pushing and shoving, Qiu Zhuoxue's hands were surprisingly stable, not even spilling a drop of wine.

The boss can smile naively and not take it seriously, but he can't if he gets more confused. He squinted his eyes slightly when he saw Qiu Zhuoxue's movements, stood up very unhappy, and said slowly: "I want to kill people, if you are afraid of death, go out , or leave a last word."

His face is very young, his voice is not loud, he looks like a young child talking nonsense here, enough to make a bunch of alcoholics laugh and become a new topic of conversation after drinking.

There was no sound in the tavern.

Because everyone knows that Going Beyond the Maze is no joke.

The boss suddenly kicked up the whole big brine pot and threw it on his head and face. He grabbed two short knives and jumped out from behind the earthen platform. .

"It seems that you have no last words."

Yue Mijin turned around to avoid the splashing marinade, the boss followed closely behind, stabbing two sharp short blades suddenly in the dripping marinade, the swordsman raised his palm without being impatient, and was just sticking to the edge of the blade. However, it hit the boss hard on the shoulder.

This palm was silent and heavy, the two short blades had just pierced the lapel of Yue Maze's clothes, the boss had already been sent flying, the whole body crashed through the wine jar, and finally slammed into the wall, Only a few bone cracks could be heard clearly, and the wall was also hit with some cracks, and then fell to the ground, seemingly dead.

Without even looking at him, Yue Mizin slowly drew out the water-covering sword towards the drunkards who surrounded him.

When the proprietress saw that her husband was dead, she immediately screamed, "I'm going to fight with you!"

However, although the proprietress screamed loudly, she twisted her body and was about to flee outside. She was stopped by those drunkards and couldn't escape for a while. Desperately seeing the deadly Qiu Zhuoxue appearing in the alley at some point.

Qiu Zhuoxue was actually still holding that damn bowl of wine.

"Where is the proprietress going?" Qiu Zhuoxue's voice was still very gentle, "You haven't drunk this bowl of wine yet."

The proprietress's eyes were about to burst into flames, she wished she could pour the damned wine on Qiu Zhuoxue's damned face, and said through gnashing teeth: "My old man is dead, hurry to buy him a coffin! I don't have time to drink you wine!"

The lady boss is very interesting.Qiu Zhuoxue couldn't help laughing, and smiled slightly: "If you don't moisten your throat, how can you have the strength to bargain with others? What's more, if the proprietress doesn't bargain with Qiu first, then when Brother Yue comes out, you don't even have to buy a coffin .”

He always makes sense when he speaks.

After getting out of the labyrinth, the proprietress's own life may not be still alive. Of course, there is no need to rush to buy a coffin, and she doesn't need to worry about anything.

The proprietress gritted her teeth. Looking at the gentle, considerate, and handsome man in front of her, she suddenly realized how scary he was. Although he was not easy to kill or vicious, he was really cunning, treacherous and clingy. Very, no one can get rid of it if it gets on it.

She stomped her feet suddenly and couldn't help but ask, "How did you find out?"

Qiu Zhuoxue said lightly: "I'm an old Jianghu, you always tell me to let go of my vigilance first, and then secretly do bad things after I get dizzy from drinking. Poison powder and poison are always inconvenient, but poisonous snakes, you knock it Just one click, and it will naturally spit out venom. It is indeed a coup for you to put the snake jar next to the crab, not to mention that the tavern is very noisy, but it's a pity..."

The proprietress said, "What's the pity?"

"It's a pity." Qiu Zhuoxue said, "I'm really an old Jianghu."

The proprietress glared at him angrily, and suddenly bent her hand into a claw, and grabbed Qiu Zhuoxue's throat fiercely.

Although she was not petite, she was quite light and agile, and the sound of the wind was a little later than her, but when she met the ghostly Qiu Zhuoxue, in a blink of an eye, the direction of her claws had changed from her throat to her shoulders, and the landlady's eyes showed a hint of ferocity, He was about to remove his left arm, but it was completely empty.

"I'm here." Qiu Zhuoxue tapped her right shoulder lightly with the handle of her fan, still holding the wine in her hand, and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's better to drink wine to calm your anger."

The proprietress only felt numbness and tingling pain in her right shoulder, probably because several acupuncture points were sealed, and half of her body softened uncontrollably. She turned her face to look at Qiu Zhuoxue in horror, and suddenly took out a letter from her bosom. When the letter came, he hurriedly said: "Don't kill me! I will... sue... me..."

She couldn't make a sound suddenly, her eyes were red, her whole body twisted, she looked crazy, and the letter was kneaded and deformed in her hands.

Qiu Zhuo Xueben sealed her a few big holes, it stands to reason that the proprietress can't exert any strength at all, she didn't expect her to look crazy at the moment, as if she didn't care about the damage to her limbs, she couldn't help but secretly frightened, took two steps back to observe carefully.

I saw the proprietress struggling for a while, then suddenly fell to the ground, began to bleed from all seven orifices, and then convulsed crazily, turned over and vomited blood continuously, most of the blood was black, and seemed to be clotted, until she vomited out a dead animal. Worm, she fell to the ground completely and lost her breath.

The letter is also completely soaked in poisonous blood.

It's Gu!What a vicious Gu!

When the wine bowl fell to the ground with a clang, Qiu Zhuoxue's face changed, and under the moonlight, dim black writing appeared on the originally empty envelope, with ten words written on it.

"Wen Jun has two intentions, so I come to make a decision."

The author has something to say:

Wen Jun has two minds, so I come to break up with each other: This sentence comes from Zhuo Wenjun's "Baitou Yin", which means that I heard that you have two minds, so I come to break up with you.

The well-known "Wish to have one heart, never leave each other." is also from this "White Head Song".

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
