Seeing the broken silver thrown by Zhuge Yuan onto the plate, the shopkeeper raised the silver confidently and shouted, "Thank you, sir, for the three taels of silver!"
After Li Huowang finished devouring the steamed buns under the table, he and Zhuge Yuan started eating as well. He quietly expressed his concerns to the other.
"Brother Li, since you are looking for them, the more urgent it is, the easier it is for them to guess."
"As long as I'm here, the Taoist sects that deceive beings will definitely come. Relax."
"Brother Zhuge, I think that only thieves can last a thousand days, not guards against thieves. Shouldn't we..."
Li Huowang's words suddenly stopped, and he solemnly picked up the stir-fried lamb in the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing forcefully.
With a snap, Li Huowang suddenly threw the chopsticks in his hand onto the table. "Stop eating! This is fucking human flesh!"
As Li Huowang rushed over and held a sword against the man's neck who was planning to serve the dishes, the steamed buns under the table shook.
A sword hilt hit the man's head, and Li Huowang immediately raised his knife, cut open a big hole in his stomach, and poured out everything he had just swallowed.
Afraid that there might still be remnants of the drug, Li Huowang quickly washed his stomach in a nearby wine jar.
When Li Huowang moved, the others also reacted immediately. Those who were swallowing pills continued to do so, and those who were chanting continued to chant. Xia Dongsheng even reached into his clothes and grabbed the hooks hanging on certain acupoints with force.
Li Huowang's actions not only reminded the others, but also the staff of this black shop.
The shopkeeper, who had been friendly before, was now carrying a big ghost head knife on his shoulder and leading a group of people rushing out.
But the last scene the shopkeeper saw was the red-robed Taoist angrily dragging his sword and stomping on the table, leaping towards him.
There was no suspense in what happened next. The slaughter was completely one-sided. In a short while, the entire inn was in chaos, filled with blood.
Li Huowang stood in the sea of corpses like a killing god, and seven or eight black tentacles grew out of his body, each entwining a different weapon.
This scene deeply shocked the Monitoring Bureau of the Great Qi Kingdom. As members of the Monitoring Bureau, they had seen all kinds of things in their daily tasks, but they had never seen anything like this before.
Their previous thoughts quickly disappeared, and it was indeed extraordinary to be a friend of Mr. Zhuge.
Li Huowang came to Zhuge Yuan's side, panting heavily, and asked incredulously, "You couldn't see that there was a drug in this dish?"
Zhuge Yuan wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, his face looking ugly. "I naturally saw it, but I thought there was only a drug in this dish, so I planned to finish eating it before detoxifying. I didn't expect that this lamb was actually made of human flesh! It's truly disgusting!"
Li Huowang lowered his head and looked at the deep crack in his stomach, sighing deeply. He rarely had a slightly better mood today, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
Although he was no longer afraid of such things now, a toad lying on its belly was harmless but disgusting.
"Hasn't the Great Liang Kingdom always been peaceful? How could there be such a black shop that uses drugs to harm people?"
Hong Zhong, who hadn't been seen for a long time, crawled out of a nearby table. "Hehehe, Li Huowang, you're mistaken. Haven't you heard what Xin Pan said? This is now the Great Qi Kingdom, not the Great Liang Kingdom anymore!"
Li Huowang was slightly stunned. "Has it really become the Great Qi Kingdom? What exactly is Xin Pan's ability?"
For a while, he thought about many things. He opened his mouth to ask Hong Zhong, but when he saw the expression on Hong Zhong's face that seemed to be asking him something, he forcibly held back and took out the Fire Coat Scripture to heal himself.
But this time, Hong Zhong didn't give up. "Oh, Li Huowang, you are truly knowledgeable. You can even taste human flesh. Admirable!"
Just as Hong Zhong was about to say something else, Li Sui's voice suddenly interrupted, "Dad, can you give me a few swords?"
"A few swords? What do you want them for?" Li Huowang stopped chanting.
"I want to help Dad. Next time we encounter bad people, I can also help like just now!"
"My body is already crowded enough with you inside, where is there any space to put swords? Don't be naughty, be good."
But this time, Li Sui actually refused to listen. "No, I want swords! I want swords!"
As Li Sui struggled, his black tentacles drilled out of Li Huowang's trouser legs and fell to the ground, rolling continuously, like children on the street shouting for their parents to buy sugar-coated haws.
"Damn it, where did Li Sui learn this?"
After coaxing Li Sui for a while, Li Huowang finally used his Torture Tool Bag to satisfy it and make it quiet.
"See, there's everything in here. Knives, saws, awls, scissors, pliers, shovels. They are all yours now. When you encounter bad people in the future, use these to deal with them."
Li Sui's tentacles drilled out of his navel, constantly playing with those torture tools, and the joyful laughter reached Li Huowang's ears.
Li Huowang shook his head slightly and followed the members of the Great Qi Monitoring Bureau who had already walked out of the black shop.
The staff of the black shop had all been killed by Li Huowang, so their mounts in the backyard naturally belonged to them. Soon, there were new companions beside Li Huowang's carriage.
Seeing Li Huowang walking out of the inn, Zhuge Yuan walked up to him and said, "Don't worry, the people from the Ghost City already know that Qin Lao has encountered enemies. They will soon send someone to pick us up, and we will be in the Ghost City soon."Glancing at the old Qin who needed assistance to get on and off the carriage, Li Huowang was not particularly optimistic.
He climbed into his own carriage, took out the map, and began to locate his position. "At this speed, I'm afraid it won't be that fast."
With his blood-stained finger, Li Huowang traced along the coastline towards the center of Jiangnan Road, "Huh?! Youdu?"
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar characters, Li Huowang almost thought he had read it wrong. But after careful identification, he found that it was indeed Youdu, not the previous Shangjing.
Li Huowang looked at Zhuge Yuan in front of him with utter shock, "Is this your map?"
Zhuge Yuan looked annoyed. "Brother Li, you're joking too much. I'm well-educated and never need any maps."
"But this..." Just as Li Huowang was hesitating, Red popped up again.
"Isn't this normal? Now you're in Da Qi, if you don't use Da Qi's map, what will you use?"
Li Huowang looked at the map in front of him, his brows furrowed. He stared intently at a red oil spot in the upper left corner of the map.
That was a spot he had accidentally dripped while eating oil-splashed noodles and looking at the map when he was searching for Apricot Island. This was definitely the map he had brought before.
But this map he bought from Shangjing, why wasn't Shangjing marked on it? Instead, it marked the capital of Da Qi, Youdu?
