Chapter 148
[Correction: Sima Feiyan's name was changed to Sima Feixue. 】

late at night.

Among the mountains, the wind and rain howled, and there was a killing intent.

At the foot of the pitch-black Lishan Mountain, the lights of that lonely shop were still shaking.

"It seems that the rain will not stop tonight." A traveler looked at the dark sky outside and sighed.

At this time, shopkeeper Liu brought a large bowl of hot soup and distributed it to the customers in the store. When he came to the table of the young man and woman with two bowls of soup, he couldn't help but look at the lightly masked man. On the face of the woman in love, although the face cannot be seen clearly, the eyes are really beautiful.

"You two guests, the night is cold and rainy, drink some hot soup to warm your body." Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, shopkeeper..." Sima Yi smiled softly on his handsome face, then took out a silver coin and placed it gently on the table.

Shopkeeper Liu has been at the foot of Lishan Mountain for so many years, and he has met many people, but he has never seen such a wealthy person. He looked at the silver ingots on the table in awe, swallowed secretly, but on the surface he said respectfully. Said: "This clear soup is not worth that much money..."

"Just accept it." Sima Yi smiled slightly, his tone was gentle, giving off a calm and calm feeling.

Shopkeeper Liu seemed a little at a loss because of the surprise in his heart. He stretched out his hand in fear and took the silver ingot on the table.

Sima Yi glanced at the hand holding the silver, the nails stuffed with black dirt, and the disgust flashed in his eyes.

After shopkeeper Liu left, Sima Yi turned his eyes back to Sima Feixue who was beside him, continued the topic just now, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuge will come to Lintong County to join us today to find the exact location of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. Back then, Qin Shihuang used It took 70 prisoners, and it took [-] years to build. The underground palace is huge and complicated, with many traps. You must need the Eight Formation Map in Feiyan's hand to enter... But I have a question in my mind. Suwen Guige's "Eight Formation Map" There is only the first half volume, and the second half volume is missing. Since it is not complete, if I want to enter the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, I don't know if it will be..."

Sima Feixue obviously understood what Sima Yi meant, and said calmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Sima. Since I'm going down the mountain with you, I'm sure. But I hope Mr. Sima can keep his promise. After entering the underground palace, I will get what I want."

Sima Yi smartly opened the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile, "That's natural...but what I'm curious about is, what is even more important than the treasures in the imperial tomb?"

"Everyone takes what they need, and they don't ask each other." Sima Feixue said indifferently, those eyes were still calm and unwavering.

The smile on Sima Yi's face froze slightly, but he concealed it very well, and it was fleeting.

At this time, the roar of wild beasts came from the mountain forest standing outside the hut amidst the wind and rain.

A peddler in the shop couldn't help but said: "Shopkeeper, aren't you afraid that that idiot will be eaten by a wild beast?"

Shopkeeper Liu, who was sitting by the door, said with a smile, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid..."

Seeing shopkeeper Liu's calm expression, the vendor was angry and funny, and finally didn't bother to pay attention.

After filming, there were suddenly wet footsteps and dogs barking outside the shop.Everyone raised their heads in unison, only to see a burly black figure appearing in front of the door, which almost filled the shop door. It was Shopkeeper Liu's stupid son, Er Zaizi.At this moment, his whole body was dripping wet, his messy and long hair stuck to his neck, and the frightened mangy dog ​​circled around his feet, raising its head from time to time and barking at the things behind Er Zaizi.When everyone saw what Er Zaizi was carrying behind him, they immediately screamed in shock, their faces were ashen, and what's more, they fell off their chairs and sat back on the ground.Only the young men and women at the table by the window had calm expressions, and their eyes were a little more amazed.

It turned out that Er Zaizi was carrying a fierce tiger on his shoulders.

"The tiger's head is sunken, the hair on his mouth is stained with blood, his eyes are dull, and his fists are stained with tiger hair. How could this fierce tiger be beaten to death with his bare hands?" Sima Yi's face revealed a look of astonishment.

Sima Feixue's gaze beside him couldn't help but fall on the huge shadow at the door. Just from his body shape, he could give people a sense of oppression, but it's a pity that the stupid smile on his face completely destroyed his natural majesty and dignity. Deterrence.Otherwise, just the scene of carrying a tiger on his back for this idiot with a rustic name would scare ordinary people out of their wits.

"It's weird, I didn't expect to see such a freak in this rural wilderness." Sima Yi smiled slightly.In fact, he was also surprised at the beginning. This big man was born with strange strength at most, and he could only be reduced to a reckless man in these rural places.In the eyes of him, the head disciple of Kongtong Mountain, he is actually slightly different from ordinary ant people.The reason why he said this was just to hope to have some conversations with the women around him.

But to his disappointment, Sima Feixue was still lukewarm, dignified and dignified, like a fairy in a fairyland who does not eat the fireworks of the world.

These days, it was rumored that Sima Yi had abducted the daughter of the Jiange Pavilion Master in Shuzhong. The world thought that the Jiange Pavilion Master's daughter fell in love with the hostile disciple of the Kongtong Mountain Sect Leader, which once became a joke.But in fact, few people know that Sima Feixue followed him down the mountain because the two of them reached a secret agreement. After spending time together these days, he already knows a lot about this fairy-like woman. It can make her happy and sad. In fact, he has never even seen the face covered by that layer of veil, but judging from his words, deeds, and refined temperament, it is enough to intoxicate him.

At this moment, the merchants and travelers in the shop had gathered around the door, pointing at the fool and the dead tiger on the ground in amazement, talking a lot.That mangy dog, which looked thin and ugly, was as bold as its owner, licking the blood from the dead tiger's fur.

And Er Zaizi squatted under the eaves, smiling at these people foolishly, when people asked him where the tiger came from, he also scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"Crackling." The oil lamp in the small shop made a slight crackling sound, and the shop gradually became dark.After shopkeeper Liu replaced a wick, the cabin gradually brightened up again.

And soon the tourists and vendors in the store also lost their sense of freshness about the dead tiger, and returned to the table again, continuing to drowsy.The long night was long, and the sound of wind and rain outside the house was louder and louder, as if choked with sobs.With such rain, it seems that the customers in the store will not be able to leave tonight.

……

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the small shop became silent, only the snoring of a big man and the whining of a mangy dog's nose could be heard from the corner.

Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes sounded outside the small shop, waking up the drowsy people again.Everyone raised their heads and looked out from the doors and windows. The night was too dark, and they could only vaguely see a rider dismount outside the shop, tied the horse rope under the eaves, took off his wet coir raincoat, and walked in.

Shopkeeper Liu rushed up to meet him. After seeing the clothes of the visitor, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Jun, just order what you need."

"The dry rations are all drenched by the rain. Bring me ten steamed buns... some grass for the horses outside the door. I have to go on the road later. Hurry up for [-] miles!" said the military master after entering the door.

"Master Jun, wait a moment, the younger ones will go!" Shopkeeper Liu responded with a smile, walking to the corner of the room and kicking the two fools awake to feed the horses outside.

The night is long, and the people in the store are also very boring.According to the other party's words, it should be the person who delivered the palace documents and military information. One of the traders who often went to and from things asked, "Master, are you from Luoyang?"

The soldier was eating steamed buns, glanced at the man, took a sip of water and said, "Yes."

The peddler asked again: "I'm going to ship a batch of goods to Luoyang recently, but I heard that the army is in chaos in Luoyang City, military master, come from Luoyang, tell me about the situation there?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "Military secrets, don't ask, if you leak them out, you will be beheaded!"

Hearing the beheading, the trader couldn't help shrinking his neck, and said with a sneer: "I just want to know if the market in Luoyang is good, so that I don't make any money in the past and lose money. Now I'm fighting everywhere, earning a few hard-earned money to support my family It's not easy to make ends meet."

The soldier was also from a peasant family, so he would not treat these ordinary people indifferently. After he finished chewing the steamed buns in his mouth, he said softly: "Actually, this is not a secret. Now Luoyang has changed its master, and the person in power has changed to The hussar general appointed by the imperial court..."

"Ah, what changed? The new official took office three times, and the rules have changed. I'm afraid they will do everything possible to levy taxes to seize the hard-earned money of our people. It seems that this business will not go well..." The vendor immediately sighed.

The soldier half smiled and didn't speak.

At this moment, a relatively older middle-aged man next to the peddler said: "If you know the situation in Luoyang, why don't you ask me? I just came from Yongning, and I'm going to Chang'an to find relatives. Luoyang city can be described as a storm these days." Mutation, I know the owner of the change, General Chen..."

"General Chen?" Shopkeeper Liu, who had packed the dry food, happened to come out. Hearing the middle-aged man's words, he couldn't help but pick up the conversation: "Is the General Chen you're talking about General Chen Wei?"
