Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 471 470. In a word, the monk spent 100 million
"There are five hundred rogue bandits in Xia County who come across them by chance. If they lose, they retreat."

"Zuozhuangli, Yuxia County, is leading the village to resist the bandits bravely. Three hundred people were dispatched, and twenty cultivators. Five hundred bandits fled. There were banquets and entertainment, countless cattle and sheep, one day of drunkenness, and 20 taels of money."

……

"There are quite a lot of widows in Anyi, and there are no males left. The elders of the Yangcun clan decided to take concubines and marry beautiful and widowed women in their thirties. They scattered the houses, and the long line of red makeup is quite spectacular."

"Infiltrated into the wedding party, found the target, succeeded in assassination with poisoned wine, and retreated."

"Hidden in the well, I saw three boxes of gold distributed from the treasury at night."

"Fei Na, the eldest son of the village head of Yang Village, is a cultivator in the world! His legs are not weak! He is good at using his left-handed sword!"

……

"From what I've seen and heard, some luxuriously dressed people came from nowhere, contacted the local caravan, counted three hundred mules and horses, and recruited guards."

……

"There were seven hundred bandits who attacked Yannao wearing rebel armor. They were beheaded by the guards, and their corpses were pickled with wooden sticks and hung outside Yannao."

……

"I saw a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River resigned from his old age and returned to his hometown. He was intercepted and killed just after he entered Hedong."

……

"The right side of the Chen family's Chen family opened a warehouse to give porridge, but the villagers broke through the house and destroyed the house."

……

"The three salt ponds in Yu Township are all impregnable! The little pig is dead! There are many practitioners!"

"Third Yin is dead!"

"The Rakshasa girl was taken away! The mission is abandoned! A fine will be paid!"

……

"Shaan County sees a caravan selling salt across the river to Luoyang. There are two hundred mules and horses and one hundred guards. They are all practitioners and dare not approach them."

……

"Squeak."

Just as Li Zhen was concentrating on looking at the scroll after scroll, Xuanzang came back.

Behind her was a girl with weak steps.

"Amitabha, Taoist priest, Benefactor Cui's injury is no longer a problem. In order to repay the favor of saving his life, Benefactor Cui hopes to go with you and me, travel through the rivers and lakes, and contribute our strength. The poor monk has agreed, and I am here to let you know."

"..."

Li Zhen didn't speak, but raised his head numbly after hearing this.

Under the dim light of the candlelight, Xuanzang's face was calm, and he didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with his own decision-making.

But after Cui Caiwei heard it, she cupped her hands and took a step forward:
"Daoist Shouchu, when I heard that Master Xuanzang and the Taoist went to Hedong to save the people of a county, I admired it very much. Although the ability is low, the Taoist and the master saved my life. This is a great kindness It must be repaid, and I hope that I will be sent by the Taoist priest and the master for this kind deed!"

This reason... or is Xuanzang's decision strange?

It must be weird.

A girl who met by chance, who was still carrying the secret of being hunted down by the killer of the Blood Mist Academy, was suddenly accepted by Xuanzang at this moment and became a "companion".

This in itself is a very strange thing.

What's more... In terms of emotion and reason, the combination of a monk and a woman is too strange.

This girl is only eighteen or nineteen at most... What can a bigger child do?
Carrying is not cumbersome enough.

God knows if seeing that the two of them are still "comparably able to fight", they want to find a free bodyguard.

So... regardless of why Xuanzang agreed, under normal circumstances, this matter should not be agreed.

But Li Zhen didn't say a word at the moment.

Not even thinking about the girl.

Withdrew his eyes from the girl and looked at Xuanzang.

One pointed to the scroll on the table and sighed:
"Huh... Monk, you can see for yourself. I'll go out and get some air."

After finishing speaking, he bypassed the two of them and walked out of the room directly.

When I went downstairs, due to time constraints, the inn was empty.But before closing the door, the boy dozed off at the counter.

"Dong dong."

Li Zhen knocked on the counter, and the dozing boy was shocked. After seeing Li Zhen, he didn't dare to offend him.

He saw clearly the two horses and the carriage just now.

Definitely not something ordinary people can have.

So he politely accompanied him with a smile:
"Master, what are your orders?"

Li Zhen handed over the wine gourd given by shopkeeper Qu when he came out from Qiemo, and then pointed upstairs:
"Open another room for the girl just now."

"Eh, okay."

The little guy took Hulu, made a full drink, handed it to the Taoist priest, and then found the key to the house and quickly ran upstairs.

Before leaving, he still didn't forget to give Li Zhensheng a stack of beans.

Li Zhen didn't go far, found a seat by the window, took the stack of beans and a gourd of wine and began to drink by himself.

Frankly speaking, the information on Hedong is very general.

Almost all of them are gathered from what a killer has seen and heard.

There are very vague records about where the bandits are, or the distribution of forces.

understand.

The killer picks up the job for the purpose of killing people.

I have never heard of a killer who wrote the "Shui Jing Zhu" like writing "Shui Jing Zhu", recording all the mountains, rivers and rivers of the land under his feet clearly...

If this is the case, then this killer should stop doing business, and it would be more appropriate to write a book.

Besides... being able to read and write is already a remarkable achievement in this day and age.It is not realistic to expect them not to be like "what did I do today, I am very happy" like a journal, but to be literary and artistic.

But this did not prevent Li Zhen from inferring from this information.

For example... let him look at the most dazzling information.

A benevolent man surnamed Chen opened a shed to give out porridge. His intention must be to help the victims, right?But... just gave porridge during the day, and after accidentally revealing Fu, he was washed away at night?
Destroy the door.

Only two short words.

But what was exposed behind was really...

Regardless of what kind of virtue this Chen family usually has, or why he suddenly opened a shed to give out porridge this time... But in terms of this behavior and the result alone, Li Laodao gave birth to a feeling of "I will save this kind of person." what?" disgust.

However, reason told him that not everyone is like this.

Troublesome people come out of poor mountains and rivers...

But he felt awkward.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be that everyone will unite as one and overcome difficulties together?
But how come...

What are these scrolls about?To put it bluntly, in Li Zhen's eyes, he saw a very real Hedong.

Bandits, widows, victims of disasters, gentry, caravans that came out of nowhere, guards who were exhausted and ruthless, etc... These people, let Hedong, who just cleaned up the dirty things, still Another bucket of mist water was poured into the broken vat that hadn't had time to sew and mend, and the chaos became more and more chaotic, turning into a living mess.

Do all people deserve to be saved?
The answer is definitely no.

But does everyone deserve to die?

The answer is no.

But Li Laodao felt very uncomfortable...

In a daze, he thought of Mr. Huqiu...or what Li Xiuning said:
"Taoist, the situation in Hedong is very chaotic, not what you think..."

Where is this mess?
It’s just...

Looking at one county, Li Zhen suddenly discovered...

Ah, I don't know when Yang Guang's control over the counties and counties in the world has become so low?

Then the problem is coming.

But any normal person should rest and recuperate at this time, and stabilize the situation in the world, right?

Where did you, Yang Guang, get the confidence to find Yangzhou Shouma in a few days?

Don't care at the top, but mess around with the bottom.

A big fart, Hedong was forced to make such a virtuous act because of a wave of rebels...

what is this?

He was puzzled, angry, and even sad...

However, no matter how sad he was, he found that...he didn't have any qualifications to distinguish who was good from who was bad when saving people...

"Fuck you..."

A dirty word out.

I don't know who to scold again.

Then...the Taoist poured half a gourd of wine in one go.

At the same time I can't help but think...

Lao Du probably hasn't arrived in Hedong yet, right?

If he goes to Hedong... Seeing these things, with his temper...

What will he do?
When the law can no longer be used as a magic spell to restrain chaos, what should a judge of the Prison Division... Faced with this situation?

Not a word.

Ku sat at the table, looking at the dark street outside the window, he remained silent for a long time.

Until... Xuanzang came down from upstairs.

The little fellow was actually very sleepy, but seeing these two nobles get together at this juncture, he could only wait on him carefully.

Boil water and make tea.

After bringing the teapot up, he was about to go back to doze off behind the counter when he heard Xuanzang say:
"The benefactor first goes to the back and rests."

This is clearly about to expel people.

The little guy is not stupid, seeing this situation, he knew that the two of them should have something to talk about.

If it was any other guest, I'm afraid he would still be worried about the other party stealing a drink or something, but for these two grandpas... Let's not talk about the character of a monk, let's just talk about the identity represented by the carriage, not to mention whether they will be like this If he did it, even if he drank all the wine and refused to give him a penny, the shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything.

Just take good care of these two grandpas.

So he nodded quickly, and at the same time sat on a pot of water again with the charcoal stove, and asked the two of them to take it by themselves, and then went straight back to the backyard.

Tonight... I have to share a room with the cook, it seems.

Go to bed first, wait for the two grandpas to leave, and then close the door after getting up in the middle of the night.

……

"Amitabha."

As soon as the boy left, Xuanzang, who was holding a teacup, chanted a Buddhist mantra and said:

"Daoist, the poor monk has finished reading."

"..."

Li Zhen looked up at him, then withdrew his gaze and continued to stare out the window.

"..."

"..."

Both of them were silent for a while, and then Li Zhen asked:

"What's the matter with this woman? Why did you bring her?"

He didn't talk about the content on the scroll, because he really didn't know what to talk about.

Sometimes, all ingenuity is useless in the face of brutal facts.

And if this monk, who is more innocent than himself, has his own way, he won't be unable to say a word since he sat down just now.

What?

do not know.

Then let's not do it for now.

Talk about something else, slow down your mind.

After hearing this, Xuanzang shook his head:
"Because of a word in the medical hall, the poor monk felt that her identity was not simple, so he left her behind."

"...One sentence? Isn't it simple?"

Li Zhen was a little puzzled:

"Which sentence made you spend another one million on her?"

"...?"

Xuanzang was a little puzzled, but he was also used to the incomprehensible words that occasionally came out of the Taoist priest's mouth, anyway, it is enough to understand the meaning.

Holding a teacup, he said softly:

"She knows Bone Cream Jade Glue."

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Li Zhen was a little puzzled:
"What?"
