Chapter 160 I am such a good person

The bumpy roads interspersed in this vast green forest.

The tall wild grass beside the road rises and falls with the cold wind, occasionally revealing some white bones.

It is hard to imagine that this is actually a so-called "official road".

On the road, a post station stood there, full of dust and dead leaves, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

In recent years, the Dasheng Dynasty has been plagued by disasters, which can be described as "internal and external troubles", and the jurisdiction of this remote northern land is even more inadequate.

If the bureaucracy formed over the years had not maintained a certain degree of inertia, it would have fallen apart long ago.

On the way, Ji Que couldn't help but ask why the wealthy businessman Jia Si wanted to send something to Fuyun Temple.

Jia Si didn't hesitate and said directly that he was going to fulfill his wish.

It turned out that Jia Si had been childless before, so he went to Fuyun Temple to ask for a son. Unexpectedly, his wish came true. His wife gave birth to six children at one time, so she came to fulfill her wish.

As a result, Ji Que remembered many stories and couldn't help but gossip: "Did your lady stay at Fuyun Temple?"

Jia Si said angrily: "How is that possible! Brother Ji, do you think I haven't read the words of those monster monks? Brother, I eat more salt than you eat rice, and I put my own women in the temple to stay overnight.

, can it be my own seed?"

Ah this.

This time, it was Ji Que's turn to be embarrassed.

Lin Xiangzhi, who had transformed into a cat shape, nestled in his arms and couldn't help but want to laugh.

As a wealthy businessman, Jia Si had traveled extensively and had a lot of experience. How could he dare to go to a temple where his wife would be left alone to spend the night to beg for a son?

Fuyun Temple is a well-known serious temple, and the way to ask for a child is also very serious. It is just to ask for a Buddha statue to send a child home to worship. Once the request for a child is successful, you must return the Buddha statue to the temple, and the incense money will be up to you.

Already.

Hearing what Jia Si said, Ji Que suddenly felt that this temple was quite reasonable. If it didn't work, he wouldn't charge for incense.

In addition to Ji Que and Maomao Lin Xiangzhi, he was accompanied by several of Jia Si's domestic servants and five invited bodyguards.

The group of people didn't look relaxed.

Because the bones on the roadside are not only those of animals, but also those of humans.

When Ji Que went to pee, he even saw two rotting corpses.

Judging from the degree of decomposition of the body, it should be within a month.

From the road, it can be seen that the wealthy businessman Jia Si is a rather stingy person. Ji Que saw him secretly eating salted duck eggs alone while letting them eat dry sesame cakes.

To allow such a stingy person to spend so much money to escort me, it shows that this journey will not be peaceful.

Compared to others who were cautious, Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi were much calmer and more relaxed.

I've been here for a day or two and nothing has happened. This place can be said to be extremely peaceful.

The melodious call of the night owl and the nightfall come together.

There are no stars or moon tonight, the sky and the earth are dark, and there is drizzle in the sky, and the dirt road is slippery, making it the most unsuitable place for traveling.

Jia Fushang is also quite old. Although he is riding in a carriage, it is very bumpy.

Hearing that the leading escort was going to rest in front, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

With the help of his servant, wealthy merchant Jia entered the dusty abandoned inn.

It can be seen that this group of people has been running around all year round, and their movements are very agile. It didn't take long to clean up the abandoned place.

A group of people huddled in the house, which was not sheltered from the wind, and started a fire.

There was a large iron pot on the fire. As soon as the water boiled, two pieces of dried meat that had not been cut very much were placed in it.

After that, the aroma of meat slowly wafted out, adding a touch of warmth to this cold rainy night.

The leading escort was a big man named Yu Zhong. After the broth was almost cooked, he added some dried vegetables.

After that, everyone took a bowl of broth and ate it with dry biscuits.

Not to mention, this broth, which usually seemed ordinary to Ji Que, was really delicious at this moment.

He took a sip of the soup and took a sip of the dry biscuits. Later, he simply soaked the dry biscuits in the soup until soft and then ate them, which left him with endless aftertaste.

Halfway through, Lin Xiangzhi also came out and took a few bites.

Jia Si couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother Ji is as enthusiastic about the cat as I am about my concubine."

Lin Xiangzhi was obviously dissatisfied with the word "concubine" and couldn't help but let out a fierce "Meow!", which startled Jia Si.

As the broth drank, the people in the room finally relaxed a lot and started chatting and laughing.

Ji Que, on the other hand, was sitting there with Lin Xiangzhi and a cat, not communicating with anyone. They seemed normal but also very abnormal.

Young men who go out to play with dogs and cats are everywhere. Some of them can tame falcons, and even bring eagles with them, which is very majestic.

But this was the first time I had seen Ji Que look like this.

Because at this time, the man and the cat were sitting there, closing their eyes and concentrating. Their expressions seemed to be carved out of the same mold, and they seemed to match each other quite well.

The idea that a person and a cat are compatible is quite absurd, but the feeling exists.

After eating and drinking, everyone began to rest.

Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi found a shabby room to rest.

From here, you can see the wild forest outside through the broken windows of the inn.

The wild forest at night was dark and dark, and the wind was blowing the branches, as if a ghost was showing its teeth and claws.

Such a scene is eerie and terrifying to ordinary people. If it were not for survival, most people in this abandoned inn would definitely not want to stay in such a place.

But Ji Que was different, he actually enjoyed this feeling.

He remembered that when he played a certain game before, he rode a horse named "Grape" and walked through desolate or beautiful maps and saw various scenery.

This is the taste of travel, the feeling of exploring the map.

After all, humans are inherently adventurous and like excitement.

Just as Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi washed themselves and prepared to go to bed, they both looked outside at the same time.

In the rainy night, the sound of horse hooves came along the ground.

Ji Que lay on the ground and said doubtfully: "Thirty-six horses are coming towards us. This shows that we are still not lucky."

Lin Xiangzhi replied: "It's obviously your bad luck."

After a while, the escort outside reacted.

"Extinguishing."

"Someone is coming. Let's show off our skills." Yu Zhong, the leader, reminded them.

Jia Si was so frightened that he and his slaves hid in a corner and almost collided with Ji Que who came out.

Later, when the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, the faces of Yu Zhong and other bodyguards became more and more ugly.

There were so many people here, and they were still riding horses like this on this rainy night, which showed that they were not ordinary bandits.

That is most likely the soldier and bandit they least want to meet.

Finally, the sound of horse hooves stopped outside. As expected, these people were all here.

"Who is there and why are they staying here?"

At this time, a loud sound came from outside the inn.

"I passed by your place on a rainy night and saw no one here. I want to stay for one night. Do you want to disturb me?" Yu Zhong replied.

At this time, eyes quickly came in through the broken window, obviously coming to get a feel for it.

A moment later, a thud was heard, and the broken door of the inn was kicked open.

Several men in armor walked in, and one of them scolded: "How can you stay in this important marching area?"

Obviously, their background has been found out. This is a powerful place, and they are obviously looking for trouble.

Yu Zhong replied: "General, we really don't know, so we will leave immediately. I am Yu Zhong, my master is Li Haitou of Fengqi Escort Bureau. The general will definitely entertain you when he passes by Tianren City in the future."

As he said this, he wanted people to pack their luggage.

These people obviously didn't buy it. The man sneered and said, "The escort? We want the money."

Yu Zhong looked at the dark crowd outside, winked at Jia Si and said, "No problem."

This can help people gain wealth, but at least there is no risk to one's life.

Jia Si had a troubled look on his face, but then he saw someone on the opposite side was already drawing a sword, so he quickly agreed.

At this time, a man in armor looked around and said angrily: "Grandma, there's not a single woman there?"

Jia Si breathed a sigh of relief.

When he went out this time, he learned that there was danger, so he didn't take his wife and concubines with him. This shows that he did the right thing, otherwise.

As a result, at this time, a guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks suddenly said: "Brother, it doesn't matter if there is no woman. You know me, I think that one is okay."

"Really? Light the fire and look carefully. I've never been a man or woman."

Hearing this, almost everyone tensed up.

The fire in the room was quickly lit, reflecting faces.

In the firelight, the appearance of those soldiers and bandits was also revealed.

As expected, they all looked at Ji Que.

There is no way, he was born with an aura of bad luck, plus he is indeed the fairest and best-skinned among this group of people, so who would you look for if not him?

"Okay, we are in a good mood today, take away the money and goods, we only need one person, that's all."

With that said, the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks walked towards Ji Que.

Yu Zhong cupped his hands and said: "General, that is"

"Shut up! What, do you want to come together?" the big man in armor scolded.

Yu Zhong and others looked ugly and did not dare to bite, for fear that if the other party got angry, they would be caught and played with.

This group of soldiers and bandits are so serious that they don't even spare men.

At this time, they seemed to have foreseen Ji Que's ending and couldn't bear to watch it again.

Ji Que quickly took a step back and said hurriedly: "Isn't this bad?"

"What's good?" The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks wanted to catch him again.

Ji Que said, "Have you brought any money?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Jia Si was the first to react and said doubtfully: "Brother, can you be?"

At this time, the man who came to arrest Ji Que couldn't help but laugh and said: "I think you look quite serious. I didn't expect to take you with you, of course you did!"

Ji Tao nodded, as if saying to himself: "Okay, they have brought the money."

The next moment, when the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was about to grab Zhong Ji Que's hand, there was a burst of miserable screams.

The man fell to the ground and rolled around, screaming: "Eyes! My eyes!"

In just an instant, the man's eyes rolled to the ground, with two very slender paw prints on them.

"what happened!"

"superior"

The leader was about to order his men to draw their bows, but only heard a "meow!" sound, and he froze there.

Lin Xiangzhi landed on his helmet at some point, and a pair of blood-stained claws were pressed against his eyes.

The leading officer quickly begged for mercy: "Show me mercy! A true man shows mercy!"

Ji Que walked over and imitated the other party's previous tone and said, "I just heard that you brought money. Let me tell you first, I want this money!"

"No problem, no problem."

"Come here, give this man all the valuable things you have."

Ji Que looked around with his hands behind his back, and continued to imitate the other party's tone: "Grandma, there's not a single woman there?"

The leader whose eyeballs were held down said in a tearful tone: "Hero, do you think a man can do this?"

Ji Queli ignored him, looked at the pile of silver and some jewelry, and said, "Is it all here?"

"There are only so many." The person who should be the adjutant said nervously.

Who would have thought that dozens of them, including bows and swords, would be manipulated by a cat like "catch the thief first".

The leader was covered in sweat and said to himself: "Bad luck!"

He went out and did a divination, and it turned out to be a sign of great auspiciousness.

But fortunately, this person seems to be interested in making money, and after all, he seems to be a little kinder than them.

At this time, Lin Xiangzhi meowed several times.

"They just killed someone not long ago."

After hearing what Lin Xiangzhi said, Ji Que snapped his fingers and said, "Kill him."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "Oh!"

Lin Xiangzhi's cat claw slid down and penetrated straight through the leader's throat.

After that, I only saw her rising and falling a few times, and there were a few more screaming people on the ground.

"Cats kill people!"

"Cut it!"

"ah!"

"ah!"

I saw Lin Xiangzhi's figure like lightning. Every time he rose or fell, a soldier fell to the ground.

On the way, soldiers and bandits launched sneak attacks and fired arrows. Some of them were easily dodged by it, and some were even cut off by her tail and pierced into the flesh of the enemy.

In the rainy night, the tattered window paper was quickly stained red with blood.

After more than twenty soldiers and bandits were killed one after another, the sound of horses trying to escape was soon heard.

In the end, it was impossible to escape. Lin Xiangzhi picked up a knife and slashed at them. Only their figures were left on the ground in the rainy night.

Nowadays, Lin Xiangzhi's real strength is close to the third level of true essence. Facing this group of soldiers and bandits, she can chop melons and vegetables without blinking an eye.

Finally, when she came back, there were bodies everywhere outside.

Ji Que had already counted the silver, and found a total of three hundred and sixty taels plus some gold and silver jewelry.

The bodyguards and Jia Si were so frightened that they dared not speak out and were trembling all over.

When Ji Que saw this, he couldn't help but explain: "Don't be nervous, everyone. I am an honest and conscientious scholar. Is it reasonable to take a cat with me for self-defense when I go out?"

As he spoke, a hammer fell out of his crotch and hit the face of the man who had just been blinded and was pretending to be dead with a thud.

The man's nose was smashed, but he remained motionless, as if he was dead.

Ji Que picked up the hammer and said with a kind face: "As everyone said, I am a scholar. When I go out, I will inevitably have to do some repairs."

Before he could finish his words, a kitchen knife fell from above and plunged into the head of the man pretending to be dead with a buzzing sound.

He could only pull out the kitchen knife with a kind face, wiped it, and explained: "As everyone said, I am a scholar. When I go out, I inevitably have to prepare my own food and bring a handle with me."

With a click, a pair of large scissors slid down and pierced the nose of the man who fell to the ground.

At this time, the man couldn't bear it any longer, sobbed with his face full of hurt, looked at Ji Que with his empty eyes, and cried: "Kill me! Please kill me! I can't bear it anymore.

"

Ji Que suddenly remembered a question related to himself and couldn't help but ask: "I want to ask you something, why do you treat men so badly?"

Before he could finish speaking, the man took out the scissors from his nose and plunged them into his neck with a click.

Ji Que couldn't bear it for a moment and sighed: "Why bother?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and found that Jia Si and a group of people were already huddled together, looking at him with fearful expressions.

Especially the wealthy businessman Jia Si wanted to get into his servant's ass.

Ji Que could only touch his head and explain: "Well, don't be nervous, everyone."

As soon as he spoke, everyone's necks tightened, looking like frightened ducks, and they suddenly became more nervous.

Oh, I am such a good person.
