Chapter 40 Xiao Shizi really gave him his head
Chapter 40 Xiao Shizi was really killed
Only three kilometers away from Zhongdu, Xiao Zhi and his party encountered the first round of interceptions.
The killer is the same as the one encountered in Chengtian Temple.
The last move is a killing move, and the moves will kill people, just like a group of Yamas demanding lives.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhi was well prepared, and everyone following him was experienced in many battles.
They drew their swords at the same time, and their aura suddenly changed.
Ping ping ping pong! The two forces are facing each other with swords.
"kill!"
After a while, a dozen people were lying on the ground. The ground was stained red with blood, and a strong smell of blood could be heard in the air.
“Ah—I’ll fight with you!”
Amidst the flash of swords and shadows, the fat cook took off his ancestral sword from his waist, moved his huge and surprisingly flexible body, and slashed at the black-clothed killer while howling.
The scene fell into chaos for a while.
After a long time, Xiao Zhi withdrew his sword with blood in his eyes, with a chilling evil look in his eyes.
Liufeng whispered, "Those people are too impatient. Before we can leave Zhongdu, killers have been sent. They are lining up to reincarnate."
Qianhan agrees with this.
Xiao Zhi had a cold expression between his brows, and his face was as cold as the snow covering the cold mountains that has not melted for thousands of years.
“Liu Feng, send someone to send the head back.”
“Remember, don’t send it until after midnight.”
Liu Feng’s eyes lit up and he said cheerfully, “I’ll make arrangements now.”
It’s etiquette to come and go as you please, and that’s how it should be.
The next day, Mingguang Palace.
As soon as Queen Mother Yin opened her eyes and saw several **** human heads hanging above her head, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and her mind went blank and she screamed in terror.
"ah-"
“Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly…”
After saying that, he dragged his limp body to the side.
In panic, my hand touched a furry and sticky round object.
Looking down, I saw it was still a human head.
This one is even more terrifying, with his eyes wide open and his eyes fixed on death.
“Ah—” there was another shrill cry.
In extreme fright, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
The Queen Mother was frightened and fainted, and the news spread quickly in the imperial city.
When the prince heard the news, he happily ate half a bowl of rice.
“It seems that the old witch has made Jinzhi angry.”
After eating the big melon, issue a series of instructions.
“…The Yin family has been going so well these past few years. I feel unbalanced in my heart. You can do whatever you want.”
The Queen Mother Yin had lived in a comfortable position for many years. Even though she was killing many people, she still let the people below do it. Suddenly seeing so many heads, she became frightened and sick.
By the time she recovered her health, several younger members of the Yin family that she was proud of had passed away, and she had also lost a lot of her minions, and her angry facial expression was so ferocious.
“What a prince Xiao! I have nothing to do with you.” Empress Dowager Yin’s eyes overflowed with undisguised malice.
In the corner, Manager Meng lowered his eyes and suppressed the waves in his eyes, but his face was still unfazed.

Time passed and it soon came to the day before the Nine Emperors Meeting.
The second room of the Shen family is doing the final preparations before setting up the stall.
Two boxes of folding fans and a room full of exquisite flower baskets... Double Ninth Cake is a must-have item. Freshness is the most important thing. Li Xiuniang planned to get up early in the morning to make it.
"Go to bed early tonight. You have to get up early tomorrow and have to work all day long. If you don't sleep well, you won't be energetic." Shen Er said.
Li Xiuniang covered the ingredients she had prepared in advance for making Double Ninth Festival cakes, and then urged, "Yes, go back to your room quickly."
The little ones looked at each other and went back to their rooms. At night, the whole village became quiet.
A dreamless night.
When Shen Nian opened his eyes, it was not yet bright.
Hearing the rustling sound coming from the kitchen, her sleepiness disappeared and she simply got up.
He simply washed up and walked towards the restaurant.
Li Xiuniang was busy with her work. When she saw Shen Nian, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you get up so early? Go back to the house and sleep for a while. You are very busy today."
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'll light the fire." Shen Nian sat down and added some firewood to the stove.
Not long after, Shen Gan and the others got up, and together with Shen Er, they moved things onto the carriage.
After Li Xiuniang finished making the Double Ninth Festival cake, the family packed their bellies and rushed to the county under the misty sky.
About half an hour later.
Outside the city, there are already merchants setting up stalls at the foot of Cuishan Mountain, but they are only sparse.
I think it’s because it’s still early.
Cuishan is a mountain with high ornamental value. It is full of greenery and mountain flowers. There are magnificent waterfalls when you climb up. The mountain is not very dangerous. Many people climb it every Double Ninth Festival.
The foot of the mountain is wide. When all the people setting up stalls come, it will form a small market, which is very lively.
It can be regarded as a scene in Longyang County.
Shen Nian looked around with his excellent eyesight, pointed to a location, and said, "Father, mother, let's go over there."
Shen Er and others saw that the location was really good, so they drove a carriage there.
Tie a few ropes between the two trees, and fix a large oilcloth in the middle. Slots are made on the oilcloth, and flower baskets and bamboo fans of different sizes are placed in the slots.
This is for display.
In front of the oilcloth, a wooden shelf about the size of a bed is opened. On the left is a flower basket and a bamboo fan, in the middle is a dogwood tree, and on the right is a very good-looking Double Ninth Cake.
After setting it up, Shen Kun looked at it again and again, nodding with satisfaction, "It's really noticeable now. I'm more and more confident in making money. Sister, your method is really good."
Shen Nian said proudly, "Of course. If you want a good business, your stall must stand out first, otherwise no one will know about us."
Shen Qian and others nodded with learned expressions.
Indeed it is.
At dawn, Cuishan gradually becomes lively.
…The sounds came one after another, and the festive atmosphere was strong.
Shen Qian and Shen Kun had sold wild game once before, so they had some experience. The two brothers looked at each other and shouted loudly.
“Take a look, take a look, there are beautiful flower baskets and bamboo fans, as well as delicious Double Ninth Festival cakes...”
“I’ve bought a flower basket and sent dogwood as a gift. Come and have a look. There’s no charge for watching the fun.”
A group of people dressed as scholars heard this unique hawking slogan and felt it was funny, so they came over.
The layout that comes into view is eye-catching.
Looking at the flower baskets, each with their own wild charm, I feel that this family is quite ingenious.
The handsome scholar headed by him chose a flower basket, "I want this."
Finally opened, Shen Kun looked overjoyed, "Young Master has a good eye, a flower basket costs 10 Wen, and the price is the same for the entire store. Buy first, pick first."
At first glance, this man knew that he was not short of money. He gave the book boy behind him a look, and the book boy paid the money honestly.
At this moment, Shen Nian opened a bamboo fan and said eloquently: "Master, there is also this fan. It is purely handmade. Each one is unique. Buy one and hold it in your hand. It will definitely increase your personal charm by two." Times, the elders will praise you when they see it, and the girl will fall in love with you. How about it? Do you want to buy one?"
Hearing this, Wen Chengan looked dumbfounded.
“You’ve already said this, if I don’t buy it, I’d be a bit ignorant.”
After speaking, I chose one.
The fan is hollow, and when opened it reveals the silhouette of a mythical beast, which is not only elegant but also interesting.
“It’s not bad.” Wen Chengan opened it, took a look, and said with a smile.
