Chapter 96 Bait
"Who?"
Xu Fu asked, but there was no reply from the door, and they kept knocking on the door.
As soon as Xu Fugang stood up, the door suddenly opened automatically. It turned out that the waiter had not closed it properly when he left. Someone knocked hard several times and knocked it open.
Standing outside the door was Ji Qinglu. Although she knew that she had knocked hard, she didn't expect to be able to knock it open directly. Seeing Xu Fu still standing at the table, Ji Qinglu became angry.
"Why don't you open the door?" Ji Qinglu asked angrily.
"How do I know who it is? What if it's a thief?" Xu Fu sat back on the chair, not bothering to look at her, and picked up the wine glass again.
"Will a thief knock on the door?" Ji Qinglu became even more angry when she saw Xu Fu's appearance and said angrily.
"The wine is okay." Xu Fu ignored Ji Qingrou, just took a sip of the wine in the glass, smacked his lips a few more times, and muttered to himself.
"Why are you hanging out with those random people?" Seeing that Xu Fu didn't take her seriously, Ji Qingrou became even more angry and walked straight to the table and asked.
Xu Fu still refused to pay attention and drank all the wine in the glass. He only hoped that the young lady would leave quickly after being disappointed.
"you……"
Seeing Xu Fu pouring wine for himself again without even looking at her, Ji Qinglu was speechless for a moment. She stepped forward and grabbed the wine bottle, opened the lid, raised her head and poured it into her mouth, drinking most of the wine in an instant. Everything turned upside down.
"Snapped!"
The wine bottle slammed on the table. Ji Qinglu's eyes were slightly red and she stared into Xu Fu's eyes.
Xu Fu was also overwhelmed by her momentum and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing that Xu Fu still didn't speak, Ji Qinglu grabbed another bottle of wine and poured it into her mouth again.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Fu hurried forward to grab the wine pot.
"Leave me alone, it has nothing to do with you if I drink myself to death!"
Ji Qinglu struggled hard, but of course she was not as strong as Xu Fu. The wine bottle was quickly snatched away. Seeing that Ji Qinglu wanted to grab it, Xu Fu quickly reached out to stop her.
"All right!"
The two fought for a few times, and Xu Fu suddenly shouted loudly. Ji Qinglu suddenly calmed down, as if she had froze. Xu Fu held the wine bottle in his right hand, and could only hold one of Ji Qinglu's hands with his arm, while the other hand held her forearm. This posture seemed like the man and woman were hugging each other.
Just when Ji Qingrou stopped struggling, a figure flashed past the door. Xu Fu was startled. He glanced at Ji Qingrou, who was almost in his arms, and realized that the two were so close. He quickly let go of his hand and took two steps back.
Ji Qinglu didn't speak any more, she just stood there blankly with her head lowered, her cheeks flushed, not sure whether it was because she had just drunk too much wine or something else.
"I just met those people. I just want them to take me to see the Kraken."
Xu Fu first answered Ji Qinglu's first question.
"Sea monster?"
Ji Qinglu immediately raised her head when she heard this, "What is the siren?"
"They are said to be some monsters in the sea. I only saw a few big crabs today."
"Have you seen it? Where was it?"
"Outside the east city wall."
"I've never seen him before, why didn't you call me!" Ji Qinglu complained a little, but after saying that, she lowered her head again. She had been angry with Xu Fu before, so she probably wouldn't go if she was called.
Ji Qingrou raised her sleeves and wiped her chin, feeling a little puzzled. The anger that had kept her from eating well and sleeping suddenly disappeared. Ji Qingrou thought of the scene of being "hugged" by Xu Fu, and felt another wave of anger on her face. fever.
"There will be a big tide tomorrow night, and I heard there will be a lot of sea monsters." Xu Fu said quickly, thinking that Ji Qinglu was unhappy because she regretted not being able to see the sea monsters.
"Then call me when you go." Ji Qinglu said in a coquettish tone.
"sure!"
Xu Fu hurriedly agreed, fearing that the eldest lady would make some trouble again.
"I'm hungry! Close the door! Eat!" Qinglu said, sitting down directly opposite Xu Fu, picking up her chopsticks and started eating, without treating herself as an outsider.
"Okay, close the door for dinner."
Xu Fu went over to close the door and looked back at the moody young lady. He really couldn't figure out what she was thinking. She was desperate just now, but why did she suddenly act like nothing was wrong with her.
Ji Qinglu hadn't eaten well in the past few days. Now she was relieved and had a great appetite. She felt that the cold food on the table in front of her was better than all the delicacies in the world. Unfortunately, she felt dizzy after eating only a few chopsticks. It was amazing, I leaned on the table with my cheek in my hand and just fell asleep, with food still in my mouth.
Seeing that Ji Qinglu was drunk, Xu Fu began to worry again. He didn't know which room Ji Qinglu lived in. He had no choice but to help her lie down on his bed, and found that her collar was already wet.
This scene reminded him of Yu Qinglan, and he didn't know if she was doing well at home now, as well as Yuehua, her senior sister and her master.
"Ugh……"
Xu Fu sighed and covered Ji Qinglu with a quilt. Having learned from the past, he would not dare to take off clothes for others casually again.
That night, Xu Fu paid for another room. The bed was as soft, but he didn't sleep well. Because he missed his senior sister, master Yu Qinglan Heiyujian and the others, he slept very late. In the second half of the night, he was woken up several times by explosions coming from unknown places. Xu Fu didn't wake up until about three o'clock in the morning.
After waking up, he saw that the door to his room had been opened and Ji Qinglu was nowhere to be found, so he quickly called the waiter to pick up the leftovers from last night, while he himself came to the street.
Not awake and in a bad mood, Xu Fu felt that he should eat two more candied haws, or at the very least, a few snacks.
Xu Fugang just walked out of the inn, but found that the scene in front of him was very different from yesterday. There were not a single stall on the clean street. Even if there were a few passers-by, they were in a hurry. Standing in the middle of the street and looking to both sides, there was no A little bit of fireworks.
"What's going on here?"
Xu Fu was puzzled. He almost walked to Fengmanlou and only saw a group of city guards patrolling the streets.
"What?"
When the city guards patrolling the streets saw Xu Fu, they immediately came over and surrounded him.
"I just want to buy something to eat." Xu Fu explained quickly.
"Buying food? Then let me ask you, what is the name of the Lord of Donghai City?" A city guard with a white feather on his helmet, who should be the captain of this small group, stood up and asked sternly.
"Ah? I don't know! Actually, I am from Qinglong Shanling Academy."
Seeing the fierce momentum of these city guards, Xu Fu quickly revealed his identity as Qinglong Shanlingyuan. Since the city lords of Donghai City all came from Qinglong Shanlingyuan, the importance of this identity in Donghai City can be imagined.
"From Qinglong Spiritual Academy? Then let me ask you, what is the name of your dean?" The city guard captain asked expressionlessly, obviously not believing what Xu Fu said.
"Um...I don't know. I'm new here and haven't been to the Spiritual Academy yet." Xu Fu was indeed a little embarrassed. He didn't know much about Qinglong Spiritual Academy.
"New here, okay, then you can cast a spell and let me see."
"This one……"
"I don't even know how to do magic, and yet I dare to say that I am from Qinglong Shanling Academy!"
The city guard captain waved his hand, and several city guards immediately stepped forward to tie Xu Fu up.
"Take him to the city tower and ask the immortal master of Qinglong Shanling Academy to identify him and see if he is a newcomer to Qinglong Shanling Academy!" The city guard captain said to a city guard behind him.
Xu Fu originally wanted to break free and escape, but after hearing what the captain said, he simply let them tie him up. If a fight broke out, someone would be injured. Donghai City and Qinglong Shanlingyuan can be regarded as having the same spirit. As a student of Qinglong Shanlingyuan, it is better not to damage the harmony between Shanlingyuan and Donghai City.
Xu Fu was tied up like this and dragged by the team of city guards to the east city gate. Then someone stuffed a pill into his mouth, put a sack over his head, and hung him up on the city wall.
The elixir melted in his mouth. Xu Fu wanted to spit out the elixir, but found that his mouth and tongue were numb. Only then did he realize that the elixir was the Forbidden Pill.
The Forbidden Pill is only of the second grade. Its greatest effect is to paralyze a person's jaw and tongue, making them speechless. Xu Fu also knows the recipe for this pill, but there is a main ingredient called Qingma Cao, which can be purchased at Shao Shopping Mall. No, so Xu Fu has never refined it. Today, his mouth and tongue were numb before he remembered this elixir.
Although he couldn't open his mouth, Xu Fu didn't worry too much. He knew very well that the efficacy of this elixir was only for a day and a night at most, and the antidote was very simple, just rinse your mouth with water.
There were some gaps in the sack on his head. Through the gaps, Xu Fu could vaguely see the private room in the windy building not far away. It was already crowded with people, all the windows were wide open, and many people were there. He stopped at the window and pointed at Xu Fu with a playful smile. Just looking at the clothes of these people, they were all either rich or noble.
No one wants to be watched like a spiritual pet. Xu Fu tried his best to break the rope on his body. After all, he could endure it for so long without making a move, which was a great honor to Donghai City.
"Ok?"
Xu Fu was slightly surprised. The rope was stronger than expected, and the hands and feet were somehow unable to use their strength.
Xu Fu twisted and struggled, and suddenly found some white powder falling from the sack, and his eyelids quickly became heavier and heavier.
"Drugs again!"
Xu Fu cursed secretly in his mind and fell into a drowsy sleep.
……
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I, the Dragon King of Jiang, Yu Dajiang, are here, and a few sea monsters are here as soon as they are available! Hahahahaha..."
Xu Fu was awakened by the laughter that sounded like a bell. He opened his eyes in a daze. He still had a sack on his head. His eyes were very dim. It looked like the sun had set, but through the gaps in the sack, many torches could be seen. There was bright light, and several people were talking under the city wall.
"Master Yu is brave and brave, and being able to come to help is really a blessing to our Donghai City! After our victory tonight, I, Chen Zhong, will definitely hold a banquet for Master Yu to have a good drink!"
"Hahaha... Okay! Okay!"
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, this person claims to be a newcomer to the Shanngling Academy, but he has never shown any tricks. He dare not hide it due to his humble position, so I would like to ask the Commander-in-Chief to make a decision."
"A new member of the Spiritual Academy? Then let Mr. Yang come and recognize you."
After a while, Xu Fu felt his body begin to descend and slowly fall back to the ground.
As soon as Xu Fu stood firm, the sack on his head was suddenly torn off.
Xu Fu glanced at the people in front of him, and they were all looking at him.
"It is you!"
Yu Dajiang spoke first.
"Does the leader of the village know this thief who colluded with the Kraken?" Yang Cai asked coldly from the side.
"It's not like we know each other, we've just seen each other! We've just seen each other!"
When Yu Dajiang heard this, he immediately broke off the relationship with Xu Fu. Everyone could hear what this talented man from Qinglong Shanling Academy meant. What he told was the truth. He and Xu Fu only had a one-time relationship.
"Since you're not from the Spiritual Academy, that's fine!" The city guard next to Yang Cai, who was stalwart and had some gray hair on his temples, should be the commander they were talking about. He waved his hand, and someone immediately came forward to help him. Xu Fu put on the sack again.
"Ah...oh..."
Xu Fu wanted to argue when he heard Yang Cai call him a thief who colluded with the Kraken. Unfortunately, after taking the Speechless Pill, he spoke like a mute. No one knew what he was talking about.
"It's getting late, please come to Village Master Yu!"
As soon as the commander finished speaking, Xu Fu felt like he was being lifted up. He was no longer as weak as when he was first drugged, but he could still struggle against the rope around him.
"Junior Brother Yang, have you seen Xu Fu?"
It's Qingguo's voice!
"He said he wanted to see the Kraken!"
It's Ji Qinglu, she's here too.
"Um...ah..." Xu Fu shouted for help, but his tongue didn't obey him at all.
"Creak, creak, creak!"
It was the sound of the city gate opening.
"Clatter, crash, crash!"
It's the waves rolling in.
After being carried not far, Xu Fu felt like he was being thrown on a stone.
The sack on his head was taken off, and as expected, the person carrying him was indeed Yu Dajiang.
"Brother, your fate is also bad, but don't worry, after I finish this business, I will build a grave for you outside the city and burn more paper money for you, so you don't have to be a lonely ghost." Yu Dajiang's advice sounded desolate to Xu Fu's ears.
"Hmm... um..." Xu Fu pointed to the water bag hanging on Yu Dajiang's waist with his chin, and then opened his mouth.
"Let's get acquainted, and I'll buy you a drink too!" Yu Dajiang put down the ghost head knife, took the water bag and poured it into Xu Fu's mouth.
"It's wine! It's Fengmanlou's wine!"
Xu Fu didn't care about the spiciness anymore. He put a sip of wine in his mouth, gargled it vigorously, and spit it out again. The aroma of the wine immediately overflowed.
"If you don't drink, don't waste it!" Upon seeing this, Yu Dajiang immediately took the water bag back to his waist.
Xu Fu moved his tongue. It was still a little numb, but he was able to speak.
"I don't need you to build a tomb. If you save my life, I'll give you two hundred gold!" Xu Fu begged Yu Dajiang vaguely.
"It's too late, there are so many people on the city wall watching!"
Xu Fu glanced at the city wall of Donghai City. It was only less than twenty feet away from him. The top was already occupied by city guards. A torch appeared every three steps, illuminating the entire city as if it were daylight.
Among the crowd, there were some people who were not wearing city guard armor, and among them was Yang Cai. When Xu Fu looked over, Yang Cai happened to look over too. The two looked at each other. The corners of Yang Cai's mouth raised slightly, and his smile looked very gloomy.
"Actually, to be honest with you, I promised to take you to kill the sea monster just to use you as bait..."
"Bait?" Xu Fu was slightly startled when he heard this, "What is bait?"
"It is said that the Siren King likes to eat living people. As long as there are living people, the Siren King will personally come ashore to eat..."
"Am I bait?"
Xu Fu originally thought that Yu Dajiang was dragging him to the beach for execution, but he didn't expect that Yu Dajiang actually wanted to feed him to the sea monster. Thinking of Yang Cai's face, Xu Fu became angry. This man had grown an empty shell in vain, and his internal organs must be full of bad water.
"Ugh..."
A distant horn sounded from the top of the city.
"The Kraken is coming!"
