Volume 43 Chapter 8

In the blink of an eye, it's late October, midsummer has passed, and autumn is coming, the weather turns cold, but the demons' offensive in Taixia Xihammer is like a tide, Wuzhou, Zhuzhou, and Yinzhou are in emergency one after another, almost every day When the news of the fall of Xiacheng Pool came, Taixia shook, and thousands of miles of war smoked, and the flames of holy war began to completely burn in the Eastern Continent...

Wuzhou, Zhuzhou, and Yinzhou are no longer barren states, not Xiazhou, but Zhongzhou in Taixia. The population size is not comparable to Xiazhou and barren states. When the three prefectures were invaded and gradually expanded, the battle situation in the western frontier of Taixia made almost every commoner in Taixia worry.

In the past few months, among all the news about the demon clan, the word winged demon is the most frequently mentioned, because it is the winged demon who invaded the three states. At this time, various news are flying all over the sky. Among them, this time, the number of winged demons who are the vanguard of the demon army exceeds 100 million, and these winged demons are all ninth-level winged demons. Among the hundreds of millions of winged demon vanguards, only the winged demon knights quantity, more than

Within the territory of the three states, countless Taixia people became refugees and began to migrate to the eastern states...

...

In a mountainous area of ​​Helan Mountain, after the frost, the maple leaves in this mountainous area turned red, like wildfires all over the mountains and plains, burning through a hundred miles around...

The sun just came out in the morning, the dew in the woods was still there, and there was still a layer of mist in the valley. In the sound of rustling footsteps, a group of people in a state of embarrassment and burdens came out of the woods. More than 20 people, both men and women, came.

When these people saw the dense and tall maple trees hundreds of meters away, the few people in front cheered excitedly, "Sugar maple, there is something to eat..."

Hearing that there was something to eat, everyone in this group, male or female, was shocked. Even the tired ones quickened their pace and ran towards the maple forest...

There is nothing more attractive to a hungry person than food.

"Wait for me...wait for me...give me some..." A panting fat man in his fifties walked at the end of the crowd and was left behind by the crowd. He didn't know that this fat man was with these people After so many days of trekking in the mountains and forests, at this moment, the fat man's gorgeous golden silk robe and the expensive fox fur coat outside the robe are already very dirty, especially the clothes that are exposed outside , are already somewhat ragged and seem to have been scratched quite a bit from bushes and thorns.

Seeing the people in front running past recklessly, no one paid attention to him, the fat man at the end couldn't help cursing while running, looking at the people running past with some resentment, "You... dogs Stuff... at this time, you only care about yourself... you don't care about me, master... When you leave here, master wants you to look good... wait for me to be punished... No one can get another copper coin from me, master... "

Running at the front of the crowd were a few powerful guards who were carrying weapons and wearing leather armguards. Although these people were embarrassed, they were generally much more agile than the fat man at the end. In the maple forest, the person at the front of the crowd found a tall maple tree more than 30 meters high that was hugged by several people. He took out a dagger and slashed at the trunk of the maple tree. , from the part of the cut trunk, some thick, slightly yellow-brown sap began to flow down.

Wipe a little with the dagger and put it in his mouth to taste, the man immediately took out the tin kettle that he carried with him without saying a word,

Began filling the tin watering can with the sap running down the trunk of the sugar maple.

The men who rushed into the maple grove followed suit one by one. They used the daggers and other sharp tools they carried with them to slide an opening from the trunk of the sugar maple to let the syrup in the trunk of the sugar maple stay. The person even put his mouth closer regardless of his image, and began to greedily suck up the thick sap flowing from the trunk of the sugar maple tree...

"Fortunately, it's still autumn and winter... when winter comes, the syrup from the sugar maple will be gone..." Someone said vaguely thankfully while drinking the juice flowing from the sugar maple.

"This one... this one... choose this one... the syrup color of yours is too heavy...the more transparent and sweeter the syrup flowing down from the sugar maple..."

There was chaos in the maple forest.

A man in his forties with a thin face, three strands of long beard, and a small package on his back, who looked like a butler, did not run, but walked behind the crowd without haste. Among all the people, this People who looked like housekeepers looked the neatest, and even their clothes were rarely scratched.

The butler didn't panic, but went directly to the first guard who rushed into the maple forest, and the burly guard quickly handed over the syrup received by the kettle in his hand to the butler.

The housekeeper took two sips, smacked his lips, and his complexion improved a lot, "This is the road to heaven and earth. I didn't expect that we would encounter such a sugar maple forest in our catastrophe!"

"It's thanks to Steward Li that you are in command. Otherwise, if something happened to our airship, everyone would panic. Without Steward Li, everyone would not be able to get out of this Helan Mountain!" Just after the steward finished speaking, someone heard The man who looked like a servant who was speaking quickly flattered him with a smile on his face.

Butler Li was neither complacent nor reprimanded. He just smiled, and that smile seemed somewhat deep. He said to the guard who handed him the water bottle, "There are not many ferocious monsters above level ten in Helan Mountain, but There are a lot of other wild beasts, and several guards are required to take turns outside to guard against the wind. Don’t be careless. Everyone rest here for two hours. After drinking enough, fill up the syrup before leaving. I think there are hundreds of kilometers. We can walk out of Helan Mountain, with this syrup, even if there is no food for the next two days, as long as there is a little water,..."

"Yes..." The guard replied, looked at the environment here, his eyes moved, a little weird, and just about to say something, the two women had already walked over with charming smiles on their faces, the butler looked at the guard With one glance, the guard quickly lowered his head and walked away...

...

By the time the fat man limped over to Fenglin, everyone in Fenglin had rested for more than ten minutes.

Fatty's speed was already slow, but when he was in a hurry on the road, he fell, his forehead was bruised, and his foot was sprained, so his speed became even slower.

Arriving in the maple forest, the fat man's face was already pale, and his forehead was covered with thin beads of sweat. At this time, the fat man also didn't care about his image, so he found a maple tree, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and gasp...

"Master, drink some, this little one is specially reserved for you, the little one. The reason why the little one ran so fast just now is to prepare things for you..." A servant-like man licked his mouth The syrup on the table came over with a doggy face, and handed over some of the next syrup in his kettle.

"Still, Liu Shan, you are loyal... Wait until you get out of this ghost place... Master, I will reward you a lot..." The fat man said pantingly, just casually glanced at the dog-legged servant, grabbed the kettle containing the syrup, He raised his head and started drinking, without any intention of saving some for others to drink.

"Thank you, master, thank you, master..." The servant named Liu Shan smiled, his eyes were narrowed, and his waist was almost bent to the ground as he was dreaming of letting the master remember his good dreams in times of crisis.

After drinking the syrup offered by the "loyal servant" Liu Shan, the fat man felt better, but his sprained foot still hurt a little. He just put down the water bottle in his hand, and when the fat man turned his head, he saw that he loved him the most. Sitting next to Butler Li, his two concubines drank the syrup from Butler Li's kettle.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that my two concubines are sitting too close to Butler Li. The bodies of the two concubines are completely attached to Butler Li except for a layer of clothes. , One of the concubines was talking to Butler Li delicately, one side of her tits was stuck on Butler Li's arm, and the other concubine even rubbed Steward Li's shoulder for him.

Looking at the behavior of those two sluts now, they don't shy away from skin-to-skin relationships. There is no distinction between master and servant. I don't know. I thought they were the women of Butler Li. It was because I thought the color of the hat on my head was not enough. Environmental protection.

The so-called distress is the heart of the people. Since the airship accidentally crashed into the Helan Mountain in the past two days, the fat master felt that something was wrong with his two "loved concubines". It seemed that the time around Steward Li was getting longer and longer. , these two sluts even ignored him and ran towards this side.

For a moment, the fatty master felt a wave of bad breath rushing towards Tianling Gai, without even thinking about it, he threw the kettle in his hand towards Steward Li and those two bitches.

The three people sat about ten meters away from the fat man. The kettle in the fat man's hand missed the target, but hit the maple tree next to the three of them.

This sudden movement and noise startled everyone who was resting in the maple forest.

The fat master's two concubines "exclaimed", turned their heads, and immediately saw his own master whose eyes were almost on fire.

The housekeeper also turned his head to look over, his eyes moved, but he didn't avoid it.

The fat man was about to scold the butler, but suddenly thought that everyone was fleeing for the past few days, and he was inconvenient. At this time, he would not be able to get better if he broke up with the butler. The concubine had a fit and left.

"Liu Shan..." The fat man yelled angrily, pointing at his two concubines with trembling fingers, "Go over and bring those two bitches to me, and give me ten slaps each!"

Liu Shan hesitated for a moment, then rolled up his sleeves and strode over.

Steward Li and the two concubines of the master both stood up. When they heard the voice of the master, the expressions of the two women changed. At this scene, the fat man was even more furious, feeling that the hat on his head might have changed color.

A woman's reaction at such a time cannot be deceived. If these two women still think that they are their men, then what they have to do at this time is to kneel on the ground and ask for their forgiveness, but at this time they Hiding behind Butler Li meant that, in their hearts, Butler Li was their man.

"Butler Li, please let me go, the master let me..." Liu Shan was still a little polite to Butler Li, not daring to offend him, but said carefully.

Before he could speak, Liu Shan was shocked, a stream of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes widened, and he looked down at his chest.

On Liu Shan's chest, outside of his heart, there was already a dagger stuck in Steward Li's hand. Up to this moment, Liu Shan hadn't noticed when there was an extra dagger in Steward Li's hand, let alone Thinking that Butler Li would kill himself...

Liu Shan has seen Steward Li hold a pen and make calculations, but he has never seen Steward Li hold a weapon or dagger in his hand.

Butler Li's face was gloomy and cold, the hand holding the dagger did not tremble in the slightest, it was tightly clenched, and the veins in the hand were exposed, in Liu Shan's shocked eyes, Butler Li twisted the hand holding the dagger fiercely.

The dagger hit the heart, and with this twist, Liu Shan couldn't utter a word. With a puff, a mouthful of blood sprayed Butler Li's face, and he died instantly, and his body fell down.

The sudden change and the murderous aura emanating from Butler Li shocked everyone who was resting in the maple forest.

"Killer..." A timid servant in the distance screamed, without even thinking about it, he ran to the distance without even thinking about it.

The two women who had just stood behind Steward Li were so frightened that they fell to the ground at this moment. More people were stunned, and the fat man screamed like a pig, "Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu, butler Li is crazy!" Hurry up and take Steward Li down..."

Just now the burly guard ran over with a knife and ran to Butler Li, but he didn't do anything, but looked at Butler Li.

Steward Li wiped the blood from his face, and glanced at the servant who was running away. Zhao Wu rushed over in three steps at a time. heart-warming...

Seeing this scene, the other servants roared without thinking, and ran out of the forest in panic.

"Killed..." Butler Li said two words coldly.

A few guards rushed towards the fleeing servants...

...

In the end, there was no suspense, but a minute later, the guard who killed the man returned with a bloody knife, and a group of people surrounded the fat man, like a pack of wild wolves surrounding a fat pig, each with burning eyes and full of excitement. Tyranny and greed.

Seeing these familiar and humble faces suddenly become ferocious and terrifying, the fat master was scared to pee at this time, his pants were wet a lot, and he sat on the ground, leaning against a maple tree, unable to retreat. But back, he didn't expect that, except for a few servants, everyone else in this family was already a member of Butler Li, "Li... Butler Li...you...what are you doing?"

"Originally, I wanted to find a suitable place for you to walk decently and look like a master for the sake of you and my master and servant all these years. I didn't expect you to get angry here, so don't Blame me!" Butler Li came over, and although he wiped his blood-stained face, it was still flushed, looking very scary.

"You...you want to plan for my money and family property?" The fatty master suddenly realized.

"Anyway, master, you have no offspring, and you are sick. These years, you can't even play with women. If you leave so much family property and money to yourself, wouldn't it be a waste? Why don't I enjoy it for you? Already!" Li Butler smiled sinisterly, a little scary.

"You... aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"

"God's punishment?" Hearing these two words, Steward Li burst out laughing as if hearing something funny, "It's really fresh to hear these two words from your mouth, sir. If you believe in the scourge of God, shopkeeper Hong of Huai'en Buxing would not have died less than a year after sworn brothers with the master, how did shopkeeper Hong die, master, do you really think I don't know?"

Hearing the three words Shopkeeper Hong, the fat old man's face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body trembled as if struck by lightning. He pointed at Butler Li, "You...you...you...", unable to say Come on.

"It's about this time, so I'll let you be a fool, master. Is it strange that my health has been getting worse and worse over the years, with more and more diseases, and I have been without a future. Seeing many doctors has no effect?"

"Could it be you too..." The fatty master trembled all over, and then he shook his head in denial, "Impossible, the doctors I saw said that I have no children because I am young and weak, it is a physical problem, It's hard to get a woman to conceive!"

"Hahaha, if you have descendants, master, will it be my turn to get your money and family property now..." Butler Li burst out laughing, "Master, do you still remember what I often tell you, even if you don't If you have money, you need to study more. There is a house of gold in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. Master, you just study too little, but you still despise scholars. Now you know, you don’t have much money, no matter how little you study In the end, I don’t even know how I died, I live in a daze, I don’t know why I died, I don’t even know why I have no children, why my blood is weak, why my energy is getting weaker, and my body is getting more and more sick. This method is not unusual. I just added a little potassium iodate to the salt of the meals you eat at home every day. After eating these years, the body of the master will naturally become what it is now. , If the master can read a little more like me, he will know. It is not uncommon to say that this method of tampering with salt is just a killer move that the demons and the three eyes will use to attack and destroy the Chinese. That's all, if you read a lot, you will know..."

"Potassium iodate?" The fat man muttered to himself, the name was too unfamiliar to the fat man, but it was just vague, as if he had heard of such a thing, "This... this is not a cure Is iodine supplemented for big neck disease?"

Butler Li sighed, "So, if you can still be reincarnated as a human, sir, you must read more books, otherwise you will not even know the difference between potassium iodide and potassium iodate, and you will die if you eat for nothing. For some reason, although the eyes are open, it is no different from a blind man. In the past, the Demon Race and the Three-Eyed Society would definitely like a brain-dead person like you, Master. Two completely different things, I thought it was just a name Two things that are close to each other are the same..."

Thinking of how hard I have been trying to get a child all these years, but I have never had a child, and my health is getting worse and worse. Even the doctor can't help me, and I can't explain why. At first, the fat man thought it was caused by his excessive drinking. Thinking that all of this is the result of other people's careful arrangements. Among the salt needed for my three meals a day, others have already quietly tampered with it, so that my body becomes what it is now.

"I'll fight with you..." The fat man jumped up with a grim expression on his face, wanting to rush towards Steward Li, but just as he got up, he was kicked hard by a guard who pierced his heart and fell down heavily, spitting out a mouthful of blood , with a wry smile, "This is retribution, even if you kill me, don't even try to take my family wealth away from me. Even if I become a ghost, I will take those family wealth to the underworld..."

Butler Li smiled disdainfully, and said gently, "Isn't the master just sewing your golden tickets into the fox fur you are wearing, killing you, how did you take the golden tickets away? Master, do you think this time It was an accident that the airship crashed, if not for this crash, how would I know that you would take your entire wealth with you, sir?"

"you……"

The fatty master was about to say something just now, but Steward Li's fighting spirit flashed, and he raised the knife and slashed it on the fat master's neck. One piece, a head of the fat master, with his eyes wide open, rolled aside...

After chopping off the fat man's head, Steward Li directly peeled off the fox fur from the fat man's body, and slid the fox fur away with three strokes of the dagger. Sure enough, he saw a dazzling golden ticket inside. The ticket, the least one, has a denomination of 10,000 face value...

The guards around were breathing heavily, but when Butler Li looked over in a blink of an eye, all the guards were terrified and didn't dare to look any further. These guards all knew Steward Li's skills. It is impossible for the housekeeper to subdue all the guards.

Butler Li took out several stacks of gold tickets from the fox fur and put them in his own luggage, "Now we are on the same boat, so don't think too much about it, I promise everyone, you won't lose even a copper coin. The situation in Taixia is in chaos. We can just take advantage of the chaos to leave Huanzhou and find a place to settle down. From now on, I will be the master. If you follow me, you will be a hundred times stronger than now..."

"Everything is according to the master's order..."

"Well, everyone, clean up these corpses, dig a hole here and bury them, and it will be over..."

"Okay!" Zhao Wu took the lead, and several guards immediately started digging holes on the ground with the tools in their hands, and buried the corpses one after another.

After such a short period of time, the two concubines of the fatty master had already been frightened silly by this series of accidents. Seeing Steward Li walking over with a bloody face holding a dagger, the two seductive women who were so frightened that their faces turned pale were already in a row. The road will not go, only trembling.

"Butler Li, from now on...we will do what you say, we will listen to you..."

"Butler Li, we... our sisters... will serve you well in the future..."

Butler Li came over with a completely indifferent look on his face, no matter how much the two women begged, he still stabbed each other, and in the blink of an eye, they were punished.

Butler Li squatted down and wiped the blood from the dagger on the clothes of the two women, "I think you two were just women who were just laughing in the fence, and you were hung out to sell yourself. You redeemed me so that you would be well-clothed and well-fed, and you no longer have to do cheap jobs. You can even betray men who have been kind to you. How do I know that you will not betray me one day? You really think you can put me on the bed If a man makes you happy, that man won't do anything to you? ** is **, thinking that with a little cleverness and good looks, men can be tricked into applauding, and men can't leave you..." After wiping the dagger, shopkeeper Li stood up, looked at the two corpses on the ground that were getting colder and no longer fresh, shook his head, and made a conclusion, "I still read less..."

In less than ten minutes, all the corpses in the maple forest were buried in the ground except for the smell of blood that had not dissipated.

After doing all this, Steward Li was about to walk out of Fenglin with a few guards, but he stopped suddenly, and everyone's eyes shrank.

Because at some point, there was a young man of sixteen or seventeen who stood in front of them. Just now, all the people were in the maple forest, and they didn't know when there would be another person beside them.

The young man didn't carry any weapons, just like a nobleman on an autumn outing.

The young man looked at the maple leaves, then looked at the few spots of fresh blood in the maple forest, shook his head, and said with some regret, "The red color of this maple forest is beautiful at first, but once it is stained with blood, the red color will fade away." It's getting glaring!"

Butler Li squinted his eyes and couldn't see the depth of the boy, but there were no servants around the boy. More importantly, the boy looked too young, and he didn't look like a master. A thought of luck came into my heart.

"Zhao Wu, kill him!" Butler Li didn't charge himself, but let Zhao Wu go first.

As soon as Steward Li finished speaking, Zhao Wu rushed out.

Seeing Zhao Wu rushing over, the young man just snapped his fingers. There seemed to be an indescribable magical power in the young man's snapping fingers. At the deepest point, everyone, including Zhao Wu, became stiff all of a sudden, making it impossible to even move.

The young man looked at these people, shook his head, and there was also a strange resonance and power that penetrated people's hearts in what he said, "If I want to kill you, I'm afraid I'll get my hands dirty, so just commit suicide and apologize!"

As soon as the young man's voice fell, the stiff bodies of several people could move, but like puppets and puppets, everyone including Butler Li simply picked up the weapons or daggers in their hands, and fiercely pointed at them one by one. There was a slap on my neck or my heart.

Thick blood energy permeated the maple forest again...
