Chapter 37: got windy
Chapter 37 The Wind Rises
There is wind outside the window, and there are people in the noodle shop.
When Gu Qingci came in, he was naturally seen by those big men. They originally thought that Gu Qingci would leave in a very tactful way like the previous guests, as if they couldn't see anything, but the result was just the opposite. Gu Qingci actually came in. It annoys them when they're not there.
"Boom"
The table in front of Gu Qingci was kicked over by a big man, and he yelled viciously: "Boy, there is no business here today. If you are sensible, just get out of here, otherwise, you will feel better."
Gu Qingci was holding the teapot to pour water, but it hadn't poured out yet. At this moment, it was frozen, and a little bit of tea slowly flowed out from the tilted teapot, and it all fell on the ground. He didn't seem to see it. , didn't even look at the big man, just said lightly: "If I take away the teapot and can't drink tea, I will drink human blood!"
"Damn it, kid, you are looking for death!"
The big man drew a big knife from his waist, and slashed at Gu Qingci with one stroke.
Before Gu Qing resigned, there was a characteristic of Changling County. People here, apart from ordinary people, had no reason, because, in this place, if you want to get ahead, reason will not work. The people here are overwhelming. Some of them live their lives by licking blood with knives and gangs, but since the two clans and gangs were wiped out, people in Changling County all know the character of Gu Qingci, the magistrate of Iron Blood County, and no one dares to mess around, let alone dare to speak against Gu Qingci. Daozi, then these people can only be bandits, but these people are wearing armor and carrying swords. Thinking about it this way, they should be soldiers, foreign soldiers.
Gu Qingci was still holding the teapot and didn't even move it.
Just when the big knife almost touched Gu Qingci's forehead, he stopped, the soldier stopped, and then opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could make a sound, he was swallowed by a mouthful of blood , fell to the ground with a "plop", twitched a few times, and stopped moving. A red line split on the neck, slowly soaking in blood, and at the same time, a chopstick fell to the ground.
This scene completely stunned everyone.
"The third child..."
Several soldiers yelled, rushed over and surrounded Gu Qingci, and the leader drew his knife out of its sheath and roared angrily: "Boy, do you know who we are? How dare you kill people? I will kill you!" Your whole family."
Several soldiers fought together. This is a tacit understanding cultivated over the years. The speed is also very fast. To deal with masters, or those generals and the like.
Gu Qingci has seen this kind of knife formation in the military camp, and has thought of many ways to crack it, but the way is as simple as it is, and it is this kind of knife formation that is so simple that Gu Qingci is helpless and can't find any flaws...
Forced him to move his sword.
Out of the black cloth pouch came a sword, a black sword, about three feet long, black all over, appearing abruptly, no one could see why it appeared, and they didn't have time to react. Flashing out, there was only a sound of weapons colliding.
It was also this sound, accompanied by the leading soldier flying out, fell directly on the street outside the tavern, spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at Gu Qingci in the tavern in horror, got up in a panic Just run, no sloppy at all.
Gu Qingci slowly stood up holding the sword, he was also a little surprised, and muttered: "It can still block my sword..."
The moment Gu Qingci stood up, the five or six soldiers holding knives all fell down. A red line appeared on each of their necks, and their eyes widened.
Gu Qingci was not in a hurry to chase down that soldier ruffian, because he had more important things to do, he wanted to eat noodles, and he was hungry. He picked up a cloth from the ground, wiped the ink sword lightly, changed a table and sat down, and said without raising his head: "Miss Boss, today, I will kill someone for you, you should add some chopped green onion for me. Coriander doesn’t cost money, you can get me some.”
In the past, in Changling County, killing people was no different from eating and drinking water. Although the proprietress was a girl, she didn't even blink her eyes when she saw Gu Qingci killing people. After living here for several years, she really didn't take human life too seriously. It's the same thing, and she also knows that in a short time, someone will come to collect the corpse, and she doesn't need to worry about it. What's more, the county officials are all here, so she doesn't need a dog to pick up a mouse and meddle in her own business.
No one takes human life seriously, but she definitely has money in her heart. She counted carefully with her fingers for a while, then smiled and said, "Master Gu, you saved me. I invite you to eat noodles!"
Gu Qingci is easy-going, everyone in Changling County respects him, but they are not afraid of him, including this timid proprietress, she is just a little shocked, she did not expect that Gu Qingci, who looks gentle and polite on weekdays, would kill people without blinking an eye, respect, some Sour, turned into awe.
At this moment, a group of yamen servants rushed in, and when they saw the piece lying on the ground, they couldn't help but gasped. They looked at Gu Qingci in surprise. They were not surprised that Gu Qingci learned martial arts, because many people in the yamen knew that Gu Qingci had personally wiped out the gangs of the two clans. Not many people knew how powerful he was. .
Yan Bo, who took the lead, has been promoted by Gu Qingci to be the head of the squad. He has about a dozen ordinary servants under him. He was not too surprised, but was slightly stunned, and cupped his hands and said, "Lord County Venerable, this is it?"
Gu Qingci raised his head, nodded to the proprietress of the noodle restaurant, and said, "Go and cook me noodles first!" After seeing the proprietress leave, he turned his head, looked at Uncle Yan, and said, "These people, in broad daylight , insulted the women of the people, and was beheaded by me, you deal with them and find out their identities for me."
Yan Bo looked at the proprietress below, and he understood in his heart. He immediately called the other guards to start packing up, and quickly carried away the corpses. He walked slowly to Gu Qingci's side and said: " My lord, we don't have these soldiers in Changling County, but judging by their outfits, they look like troops from the border town of the Empire, I'm afraid..."
Gu Qingci frowned. He was also doubting the identities of these people just now, because they were all dressed up as Xia Guo soldiers, but they were definitely not Changling County soldiers. Now that Yan Bo said it, he immediately thought of the three princesses who will arrive today .
"Go and ask Ma Xiancheng to take a look, he should know."
Yan Bo got the order, turned around immediately and went to do it. Except for the sound of the proprietress cutting vegetables, the noodle restaurant seemed very quiet, and Gu Qingci did not speak. He stood up and held the long sword in his hand, looked out of the door, and said softly: "It's windy, it's going to snow!"
It seems to cater to Gu Qingci, a gust of wind blows towards the face, as cold as frost, and the heavy snow keeps flying down like reed tidbits, and the fluttering snowflakes fly into the noodle shop from outside the door, with the sound of wind and snow whistling.
At the same time, there was a rush of horseshoes and footsteps. Through the snow curtain, you could see that the tavern was blocked, and it was full of soldiers in armor!
