Chapter 355
After the words fell, the long sword was drawn out, and the blade flashed with bright silver light, lying across the front of the five people. The woman behind him also drew her sword and stared at the five people with eager eyes.
A tense and suffocating atmosphere circulated in the inn. Except for Zhao Jiu, everyone else also stood up. Their greedy eyes looked at the five people in unison, and their direct eyes seemed to want to strip them naked.
"What do you mean?"
The man twitched the corner of his mouth and said frivolously: "Don't you understand what it means? You can leave if you want, but leave your things behind!"
"What?"
The tip of the sword was pointed directly at the speaker. The man gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely: "What else could it be? We all know it, so there is no need to explain it clearly, right?"
He looked sideways at He Miaocong and said, "Hand over the things, otherwise don't blame me and my husband for being ruthless!"
He Miao blinked her eyes, shook her head and said, "You misunderstood, the thing is not in our hands. We didn't find it either."
Looking at his sincere eyes, the man frowned and felt a little shaken. He glanced at the other four people without leaving a trace, and found that their expressions were exactly the same, helpless, genuine, and depressed.
Could it be that what he said was true? The man was undecided.
At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Don't talk about these things to coax a three-year-old child! You guys have been on the mountain for so long, but you suddenly came down the mountain. You won't get nothing! So, even if it's not in your hands, You must have some information too."
"That's right. Either take out the things or tell the news you got, otherwise... you can't leave!"
"This is the truth! Don't try to monopolize things that don't have owners!"
"Give us an explanation!"
The echoes continued.
The five people looked at each other, feeling like they were forcing a good girl into prostitution. He Miaocong glanced at the crowd and sighed bitterly: "Everyone, it's true that the five of us have stayed on the mountain for the longest time, but we really got nothing. I came down from the mountain this time because something happened at home, and I was called back to wait, so I had to obey! "
It's okay not to say it, but after saying it, the crowd became more and more excited. The man held down the long sword, stared at He Miaocong, and said sarcastically: "Don't lie to me! There are great masters and small masters on Wudang Mountain. No matter how bad things are, there is always a first-level master. If there is an emergency, there is no need to summon a second-level or third-level master." What’s wrong with a third-level disciple returning to the mountain? The Wudang clan is going to be destroyed?”
"Presumptuous!" He Miaocong looked directly into the man's eyes, and traces of true energy leaked out of his body.
"Do I have to explain the secret of the sect to you? It's really ridiculous!"
Sensing the tension and conflict in the atmosphere, the shopkeeper hurriedly dropped his pen and hurried to the backyard. As he ran, he kept mumbling: "Don't hurt me, my little body can't withstand a few swords!"
After all, he was a disciple of a large sect, and he was able to stand up even when he was in trouble. A few angry shouts really frightened the man. However, the man quickly realized that with so many people here, no matter how powerful Wudang Mountain was, they would not dare to make enemies of the entire world, right?
Thinking of this, he straightened his back again and said forcefully: "What happened on Wudang Mountain has nothing to do with us, of course! We just want to know whether the thing is on you or not."
"What do you want?" He Miaocong asked in a deep voice.
"Search me! I promise I won't embarrass you after the search!"
When the others heard the man's words, they all echoed: "Yes, search!"
Hearing this, He Miao couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Then do you want the five of us to take off our clothes and search them thoroughly for you?"
There was already a hint of impatience on his face. In his opinion, what is there is what is there or not. As a person who practices Taoism and seeks immortality, he will never lie and deceive others out of greed!
The man could hear the ridicule in the words and smiled coldly, "It seems that the five Taoist priests have a guilty conscience?"
"Whatever you think, make way!"
He stretched out his fingers to push away the sword and took the lead to walk out. Seeing that the farce was about to end, Zhao no longer wanted to watch, put down his tea cup and stood up to go upstairs.
"stop!"
He thought he was calling He Miaocong and his group, so he didn't stop.
Unexpectedly, a shout came from behind soon, "It's you, the boy upstairs! You are in the same group, so stay! You still want to leave without making it clear?"
Zhao turned around with a puzzled look on his face and found that several people were pointing at him, while He Miao and the other five had drawn their swords out of their sheaths and looked at everyone warily.
"Me?" Zhao pointed at his face and asked.
Everyone said in unison, "That's you!"
He pretended to be panicked and shook his head in denial: "It's none of my business. I'm just a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam. I have never been to the mountains!"
Someone in the crowd soon sneered, "What the hell, boy? Have you ever taken the imperial examination? It's not even August yet, and the Spring Festival will not be held until February or March. What are you doing in Beijing now? Huh?"
"Furthermore, when you go to Beijing to take the exam, you don't take the official route or take the official boat. Instead, you go through the small roads, cross the barren mountains, and cross the wild forests. Haha, don't you think it's abnormal?"
"I see that you are clearly the coordinator of those five people!"
As soon as these well-founded words were spoken, everyone's eyes kept turning on Zhao Ju and He Miao. Even He Miao couldn't help but look back and looked at him suspiciously.
Although Zhao himself still looked calm, his heart was already turbulent. Who would have expected that there would be a Jianghu man who had participated in the imperial examination in the small inn?
I also blame myself for not having any experience in imperial examinations, so I couldn’t compile it well.
He scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "If I said that my family is rich and I don't bother to take an official ship, would you... believe it?"
"Tsk." The man couldn't hide his contempt on his face. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You have a rich family? How come you don't have any servants? You can fool others, but you can't fool me! I've seen it all before!"
Fuck! You're stuck in two ways with one sentence!
Zhao was in a dilemma now! He had to face the pursuers behind him. His identity as a Jinyiwei would definitely not work. Once he showed his badge, he didn't know how many people would rush at him. He couldn't run away either. The whole town was full of people from the underworld. If he shouted a few times, he would be trapped.
Really, it was a bad time!
Now he could only take one step at a time, so he raised his head and smiled, "I really want to go to Beijing, and I don't know the five of them. If you don't believe me, you can ask!"
He Miao was about to say "I don't know them", but found that everyone looked at them as if they were fools.
"No need to act anymore! We don't want to kill you, we just want to ask for information. If you tell us, everything will be fine. Why bother to be so stubborn?"
The man exuded a trace of true energy, glanced at Zhao Jue, and said faintly.
Zhao Jue looked at He Miaocong for help, "What do they want to know, just tell me. Don't involve me, I don't know anything!"
"I really don't know!" He Miaocong shrugged.
Looking at his distorted expression, Zhao Jue patted his forehead helplessly and sighed.
Softly said: "Close the doors and windows..."
"If you don't say it, I will!"
