Chapter 327 Fiona Arrives(1/2)
"Why is it so lifeless here?"
Fiona came to the street. According to the intelligence, this is the temporary camp set up under Qingzhu Peak. Calculating the time, Jinghu should open its gate today. Why are these people in the world so negative?
She had thought that when she came here, she would not see many Jianghu people. She thought that these Jianghu people would all go to fight for the jade sword, and then Yi Hui would go on a killing spree there.
However, from now on, it seems that these Jianghu people are "forced" not to fight for the jade sword. I don't know who is suppressing the Jianghu people here. Is it Kaiyanghou?
I heard that the person who succeeded the title of Marquis of Kaiyang was a girl. A woman can inherit the title. I imagine her resourcefulness will not be much lower than that of the previous generation of Marquis of Kaiyang.
"Boss, bring me a bottle of sake."
Fiona doesn't like to drink strong alcohol, which will affect her sanity, and light beer has no taste, so sake is just right, not strong but not weak.
"Xia Xia, there is no more wine. You can go to the next restaurant."
The waiter scratched his head. Fiona's outfit looked like that of a lady from an aristocratic family. Common people, even the heroine of the world, couldn't afford to wear that kind of expensive silk fabric. His shopkeeper bought it for the landlady six years ago.
I bought a silk dress, but I would only see the landlady wear it once a year for fear of damaging the silk dress.
As for this aristocratic lady, sitting on that rough wooden bench, there might be some wood debris stuck in the silk clothes. Their small shop can't afford to pay for it, so they should leave quickly.
"There's no wine? How come there's no wine? Is it possible that this market will be closed today? Those quacks may only come down from the mountain at night. You won't make any money?"
What people in the world love most is fine wine, followed by beauty...the latter does not necessarily have to be divided into men and women.
Therefore, in inns, restaurants, and restaurants that often receive quacks, they don’t have to have food, but wine is indispensable. Anyway, there is no food, and as long as there is wine, quacks are willing to stay. Even if they want to eat some food, the strong will spend
I'll go out for a run in five or six minutes and catch a wild boar. I'll have some food to go with the wine, right?
But if there is no wine, where can I find wine in the wilderness? How about finding burial objects hundreds of meters underground?
"What else can you make if you make money? It's more important to save your life."
The cabinet installer came over from the back kitchen, shaking his head.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and pack your things. Take away what you can and leave what you can't take away. You can't stay here any longer."
"What does this mean, shopkeeper?"
The Jianghu people look so lifeless and don't seem to be making trouble. So, why is the shopkeeper in such a hurry to leave?
Fiona, who was born into a noble family and was plotted by her father to get married, was best at observing people's emotions. Coupled with the insight brought by Laurent's Heart and Eyes, she discovered that something seemed not quite right about this matter.
"What do you mean? Is the little... heroine just here?"
The shopkeeper originally wanted to address Fiona as Miss, but when he saw Fiona holding a sword, he immediately changed his mind.
Jianghu heroines, especially those of noble ladies who pretend to be playful for a while, are harder to provoke than those young heroes. The most important thing is that you don’t know where you will provoke these heroines.
However, experienced people all know that for this kind of young ladies, they must only be called heroines, otherwise, they will suffer.
"Yes, I followed in the footsteps of my senior brother. I just arrived here. According to him, he should have gone up. What happened here?"
As soon as Fiona heard the boss ask that question, she knew that a big event with great impact had happened here, and it was not long ago. Otherwise, the boss would not have said that she had just arrived at this market.
"Going up? I think it's better to go down...I'm sorry, but, this heroine, you'd better express your condolences."
The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed due to his sudden blunder. He was afraid of offending Fiona. At this time, he bent down slightly and apologized to Fiona. If Fiona drew the sword, with his many years of experience, kneeling down and begging for mercy would not work in this position.
Any obstacles will be dealt with swiftly and swiftly.
Escape? This is his tavern, where is he going to escape to? A monk who can escape cannot escape from the temple. If you check the account book on the counter, you will know which tavern in Kaiyang City is his. Ordinary Jianghu heroines may not know
This is true, but this is an aristocratic lady. She may have been reading the account books with some family elders since she was a child.
It is said that after these aristocratic ladies got married, they all counted the money in their husbands' pockets clearly.
If he offends a nobleman, even if he escapes now, he will be hunted down later. What’s more, this is a heroine. When he escapes, what should he do if a sword suddenly passes through his heart from behind?
"What's going on? Tell me in detail."
Fiona's face also changed dramatically, but the shopkeeper only thought that Fiona was worried about the life safety of her senior brother, but did not know that Fiona was actually worried about Yi Da's killing spree.
Yi has practiced the ruthless sword, and anyone who stands in his way will be attacked by him. The people in this market may be so frustrated because they are blocked by Yi.
However, how many people would have to be killed before these daring men and women would become dejected and not even think about taking a gamble?
"Well...actually, your senior brother is not necessarily dead. There are still some people who went up the mountain in advance. If they heard about what happened there, they might come down in despair."
The shopkeeper said "blessings". The heroine looked very worried about her senior brother. Maybe he liked her. If he was rude and "talked to death" for a while, wouldn't he be dragged to be buried with him?
"What's going on? Tell me quickly."
The more Fiona listened, the more she felt that her guess had come true, and that Yi Zhen had gone on a killing spree.
"well--"
The shopkeeper knows that he can't hide it anymore. He can hide the news now. However, the news is already known to everyone. Fiona can find out by asking just anyone. In a hurry, she might think of him as that person.
The devil's accomplices cut him down immediately,
"There is a devil on that mountain."
"Devil? How can there be any demon in this world? You have not been deceived, have you?"
Fiona is both a young lady of the Laurent family and a disciple of Dolan. Most people don’t know as much information as she does, and she, whether it’s in her family’s classics or in the Wuji Gym’s classics,
The existence of such creatures as demons has not been discovered.
"No, I'm not talking about the devil in myths and legends. I'm talking about a man, a man who killed tens of thousands of people. Do you think he is a devil?"
Seemingly provoked by Fiona's questioning, the shopkeeper
Somewhat impatient,
"It's because of that devil that I can't do business now. There are tens of thousands of corpses. There's no telling when a plague will appear. These people who are leaving now are all afraid.
The plague, and the devil on the mountain."
He vented his dissatisfaction all at once. It was the devil who asked him to come here. Before he could make much money, he had to go back. Then, he had to undergo official inspection. In half a month, he would probably not even think about it.
Open for business.
It was that devil who made him so miserable, and this noble lady actually said that he was lying?
It would be fine if it was fake, but after the news came out, hundreds of people came and went to get the information, and basically all of them came back and vomited to the point of being unconscious. Could this be fake?
Although they didn't know exactly how many people died, they saw corpses, broken flesh and pools of blood all over the place. Is that fake?
"Count... tens of thousands of people?"
Fiona's body couldn't stop retreating. Around here, the only person with the ability to kill tens of thousands of people was probably her senior brother, but Yi actually killed so many people.
"Miss! Don't be anxious! Although tens of thousands of people died, there are still one or two thousand people who ran down the mountain. Maybe your senior brother is among them. Don't do anything unthinkable."
The shopkeeper was sure that many people saw this aristocratic lady walking into his tavern. After all, an aristocratic lady dressed in silk clothes and pretending to be a heroine is very eye-catching everywhere.
If Fiona walked out of his tavern, ran up the mountain to die, and waited for her family to come to inquire, he would probably not survive.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."
Fiona was so shocked that in the eyes of the shopkeeper she could not accept that her senior brother died in the hands of the demon on the mountain. Now she ran out in a hurry because she wanted to avenge her senior brother.
But in fact, Fiona just decided to get rid of a scum for the teacher. How could a disciple of the Wuji Gym kill so many people? How could he be so bloodthirsty?
She followed Yi's footsteps and saw corpses all along the way. She also saw the wails of the companions of those killed by Yi.
Some of these people are bandits who endanger the people, and some are just passing rangers. Fiona doesn't think there is any problem in taking action against the bandits, but killing... should still be left to the court.
Only the law can judge a person's sins. No one else is qualified to do so.
Previously, she just wanted to correct his erroneous behavior so that he could attack those with malicious intentions without harming his life. But now, she suddenly heard that her senior brother had killed tens of thousands of people. She wanted to do it no matter what.
Go and verify it with your own eyes. You must not let others wrongly accuse your senior brother. If that is the case... then fight to the death.
"Miss! Miss! Alas -"
No matter how the shopkeeper called, Fiona, who had already run towards the mountain, had no intention of looking back.
"What should I do? How can a little girl deal with a demon that has killed tens of thousands of people? This time, I am in trouble."
The shopkeeper was already frustrated. There was no way he could escape. Fiona was wearing something that only a lady from a noble family could afford. He could never get rid of the crime of "inducing" a noble lady to die.
No, who asked him to tell Fiona those things?
But if he didn't say anything, Fiona might kill him. In contrast, with the latter method, he could still explain the funeral arrangements, divorce his wife in advance, and let them hide out.
If the noble gentlemen showed mercy, they might be able to let them go.
"stop!"
Just as Fiona ran towards the mountain, a man jumped out and stopped her.
"Who are you? Why did you stop me?"
Fiona is in a very bad mood right now. Regardless of whether her senior brother was wronged or did something bloody and cruel, she is still in a bad mood.
"Girl, this mountain is difficult to climb."
The one who stopped Fiona was the swordsman who was still sleeping when other swordsmen attacked Yi. However, he was also the person who had experienced Yi's cruelty most directly. Even if Yi would not attack anyone who did not hinder him,
He also didn't want anyone to come up.
The guys who were watching Yi come back and report that Yi has left, which means that the entrance to Jinghu Lake has appeared. They will not kill you outside. However, once they chase you in and try to seize the jade sword, will Yi still show mercy?
