"What do you mean by none of my business? Didn't I just say this? I opened this mountain and planted these trees. If you want to live here, come and pay! Can't you see it's snowing right now?"
"What does it have to do with me if it snows today? Do I have to pay you just because it snows?"
He Zhizhou didn't want to pay at this moment. This group of people was barely a mob. He touched the dagger at his waist and just wanted to stain the road with blood.
The person on the other side was not at all panicked when he saw him take out the dagger.
Could this one person really defeat his team of nearly 20 or 30 people? However, the wretched leader also took a fancy to the dagger in his arms. He rubbed his hands with a lewd smile and pointed at the jewel-encrusted dagger below his waist.
"Brothers, cut it off. I think the dagger on his waist is quite nice. It should be able to sell for a lot of money!"
Just as someone was about to grab it, He Zhizhou's eyes widened, a fierce look on his face. He drew his dagger and pointed it directly at the leader. Finally, he dodged until he was behind the leader and grabbed the dagger by the leader's neck. The snowflakes flew all around, blinding everyone.
No one was able to recover from the shock, not knowing how that person had sneaked up behind him at such a stealthy speed and even held his throat with a dagger.
"You are a devil!"
The leader gritted his teeth.
Unfortunately, he can no longer make a sound.
The other subordinates, frightened by the blood on the ground, took two steps back. Seeing their cowardice, Tsuru Nozomi took two steps forward, treading on the swirling snow. His blade pointed directly at the ferocious subordinates.
"How come you have the guts to rob but not the guts to come over?"
"You are the legendary Winter Ghost! How can an ordinary person have such great strength to directly flash behind others!"
"You are a monster, we don't want to be associated with you!"
As they spoke, they began to panic. Perhaps they really thought of He Zhizhou as a monster.
“…”
"I'm not a monster. I'm just an ordinary person who left Kyoto and moved to another place. Didn't you just block my way?"
That's the explanation, huh...
But what they encountered was endless regret. Why did they just block this person's way? Just look at how many caravans there were just now.
If they hadn't stopped him, they wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic situation. Now was the first time they felt so deeply sorry. But it was no use. He Zhizhou didn't even give them the chance.
In the afternoon when goose feathers were flying, a knife pierced through the heavy snow, and then all those people fell to the ground with their eyes wide open, dying with their eyes open.
Hidden in the leaves was a petite figure. It was Su Xi.
When she saw this person being stopped, she wanted to go out and help, but she never expected that he would pull out a dagger and kill them all without leaving a single person alive. How much force is needed to achieve this?
She didn't dare to think about it.
So, He Zhizhou didn't leave, and Su Xi didn't dare to move. The two of them just stayed there. As the snow got heavier, He Zhizhou felt that he couldn't stand here any longer and left.
Su Xi, who was walking in Crane State, took a deep breath, stood up from the corner and brushed off the dirt on his head.
As soon as he looked up, he found a shadow blocking his way. He opened his eyes wide and found that it was He Zhizhou with the emerald gem on his waist.
"Didn't you leave? Why are you here now?"
"If I leave, how can I see such a lovely girl like you? Did you see something just now? Just tell me, brother."
Su Xi also widened her eyes. She had lived for so many years and had always had a brother to look after her, so she had never experienced such an incident of being teased.
Her pretty face flushed.
But she is not stupid. If she really told something like this, she would probably be killed to silence her whether she reported it or not.
"Brother, I swear I didn't see anything just now! You believe me... I'm just a blind person, yes, just a blind person."
"I'm going home now. Bye."
He spoke haltingly, his eyes full of mockery.
"Why are you running away when I haven't done anything yet? Are you afraid that I'll kill you to silence you?"
"I'm telling you, I'm from the Evil House. Do you know Su Lie? He's my brother! If you kidnap me and my brother can't find me, you'll be in big trouble!"
When has this Crane State ever been threatened? After hearing this, I realized that they seemed to be brother and sister.
Su Jie is a great hero, how could he give birth to two such children?
"In that case, it's okay. I know the Villain's Mansion. If you're blind, don't run so far. I'll take you back."
When she heard that this guy actually wanted to send him back, she was even more afraid.
If we send her back, there's no guarantee that something might happen. Besides, this place is not far from the capital area, and once we enter the capital, we'll be close to the evil people's residence.
She was not stupid enough to put herself in danger, so he would accept it even if she walked into the house with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"That's fine, big brother. I can go back by myself. Thank you for your concern. I'll be leaving first."
Tsuru Nozomi smiled cruelly: We went the wrong way.
"Where are we going the wrong way? Isn't this the road to Kyoto? You're fooling me with the city gate over there."
As soon as Su Xi heard this, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She seemed to have just said that she was blind. She looked up and saw a cruel smile on He Zhizhou's face.
He picked up the dagger in his hand. There were two snowflakes on the blood-stained dagger. He rushed towards her with the knife raised.
She deserved to die.
Unexpectedly, the man did not kill her but cut her precious long hair into shoulder-length short hair.
People at that time believed that hair was more important than life.
Cutting their hair was a form of torture for them. At that time, long hair was considered beautiful. Cutting their hair at this time naturally made Su Xi's face turn green.
"Kill me or chop me up, it's up to you. I'm telling you, my big brother isn't someone who gives up so easily! If you want to kill me, go ahead, but please don't humiliate me!"
Su Xi was so angry that she spoke without thinking.
"What do you mean by humiliating you? Well... heh."
Tsuru Nozomi flashed and picked her up, threw her onto the horse and ran away. Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from Kyoto, she widened her eyes and patted his chest.
"You think I'm coming down, what are you going to do?"
"Kill people and silence them."
?
What the hell is going on?
*
Seeing that Su Jie's condition is getting better and better, I heard that Su Xi, who went to Tianshan to inquire about retrieving the Tianshan grass, will be back soon, right?
Logically, we should have arrived home two days ago. Could it be that the snow was so heavy that we had to stay overnight on the road?
He then sent dozens of death warriors from his mansion to search for her.
The search was fruitless, but several corpses were found on the road. They were hacked to death and their faces were sallow and covered with white snow.
After searching for a while, I found a jade pendant under the tree next to me. Isn't that the jade pendant of Miss Su Xi?
