I am the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 23 1 Scream

In the main hall, Xi Qi threw the sobbing Wang Xiaosan to Guanshi Lu, "After learning the rules, I will take you as a long-term follower."

Wang Xiaosan almost didn't give him a drink, and immediately followed Lu Guanshi away.Xi Qi stared: "You betrayed too quickly."

Wang Xiaosan hid behind Steward Lu and scratched his head, laughing heartlessly and with a little happiness.This is really ridiculous, Xi Qi smiled and shook his head, "Remember what I said, I guess General Annan will be here when we come back, remember, we don't rely on them, understand?"

"Understood, don't worry, Master." Lu Guanshi nodded.At the door, Hall Master Liu led a Sichuan horse over, "Master, there is still a long way to go after you pass. This horse has good stamina and thick hooves, and it can walk as fast as the mountain road."

Xi Qi looked at the horse, which was not much bigger than a donkey, and thought about Luoying's old man again, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, but Mr. Liu was right, and this horse was indeed suitable for walking in the mountains.Xi Qi nodded: "Okay. I'll take it with me this time."

To be honest, this horse gave Xi Qi an urge to ride backwards. Thinking of this, Xi Qi glared at Wang Xiaosan again, and it was his words that caused the trouble.Wang Xiaosan shrank her neck and took two steps back.

At Fengling Ferry, Xi Qi looked at Luo Ying, who also changed horses, and said with a smile, "Where's your old man?"

"Seasickness." Luo Ying was a little helpless, his old buddy was still seasick, how could this happen.

Xi Qi blinked, "Huh? Are you sure you don't want to stay and eat fermented glutinous rice?"

"Probably - no way." Luo Ying suddenly felt a little uncertain, but seeing Xi Qi's bright smile, she also knew that he was just joking.

Both of them were tall and long-legged, and neither of them rode a horse. When the ferry arrived and tied the horse into the hold, Xi Qi actually breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? You don't know how to ride a horse?" Luo Ying looked at the man clapping his hands and hitting the dirt, and couldn't help teasing him.Xi Qi shook his head, "One sentence caused trouble, I always feel like I'm riding a donkey."

Luo Ying blinked and scratched her head, "I regret asking."

"Ha ha ha ha"

The ferry departs in the afternoon and goes down the water at a very fast speed. It has already passed the gorge in the evening, and the scenery on both sides is good.

"Let's walk on the water for three days. Let the horses slow down after landing. If you speed up your pace, it will be one day." Luo Ying counted the schedule, and looked at Xi Qi who was watching the scenery by the window, "You don't seem to be in a hurry at all?"

"I passed on the news." Xi Qi turned his head, "They should have set off while we were still on the boat." If there is no news when he arrives, Hall Master Ren of Chaozhou should come over directly.

"Someone is capricious." Luo Ying said, "Can you find someone?"

"I can't find it. If I find it, it's nothing to do with me." Xi Qi turned his head and said with a smile, "If you want to be a subordinate, you must also be able to handle affairs. Master Luo must understand the thoughts of the people below."

"Then what should they do if they found it?" Luo Ying rubbed her chin, what if she found it unconsciously?

"If they find it, it will prove that they are not doing their jobs properly." Xi Qi blinked, and smiled smugly at Luo Ying's stare. "That, I was joking."

"If they find them, they will keep an eye on that group of people and deal with them when we get there." Xi Qi looked at Luo Ying, "Do you have anyone over there?"

"I came out this time - I didn't bring anyone with me." Luo Ying shrugged, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Can I ask, what were you doing when you went to Jiangzhou?"

"Are you going to check on me?" Xi Qi's memory came back instantly, "You went south to check on me?"

"Uh." Luo Ying regretted a little, he seemed to be too anxious to say it.

"I see that the business is not good recently, and I want to take care of it from above." Xi Qi blinked, "Do you believe it?"

"Trust." Luo Ying nodded, "It's no fun for you to lie to me."

"Huh?" Xi Qi smiled, "Where did you get the confidence?"

"Did you lie?" Luo Ying blinked. He and Xi Qi are alone in the room now, and no one can testify. What's more, those officials in Jiangzhou are mediocre and useless. Nonsensical, it is useless except to write a few sour poems.

"No." This guy definitely didn't believe me. Xi Qi knew that he was heading south when he met Luo Ying, and Luo Ying's itinerary was definitely to go to Shuzhou after the investigation in Jiangzhou.

"That's fine." Luo Ying chuckled, and just about to pour water, she heard a scream from outside.

Xi Qi also heard it, and the two went out in an instant.Luo Ying wanted to see what happened, and Xi Qi was because—the warm-hearted person beside him was hopeless.

"Boss of the boat! Boss of the boat, come quickly!"

The ferry they made was a big boat with three floors, the bottom floor was for livestock luggage and boatmen, and the second and third floors were for guests.The boss of the ship was at the helm on the second floor, and it seemed that Luo Ying and the others were on the second floor where the accident happened.

"The head of the house! Wake up, the head of the house!" A woman screamed, Xi Qi frowned slightly, turned over and picked up the woman from the crowd, and dragged the woman out.

The crowd dispersed in an instant, not because of anything else, a big sister in the middle of the crowd flew over their heads with a swipe, frightened.

The eldest sister was too frightened to cry, and the dead people surrounded by her were exposed. Luo Ying looked at the satisfied Xi Qi, not knowing what to say.But it is convenient.

Xi Qi stood in front of the eldest sister, "What happened just now?"

"He was lying on the side of the boat, and suddenly a fish came over." The eldest sister replied blankly with a dazed look in her eyes.Xi Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Hey, go to the side and rest."

Luo Ying, who was checking the corpse over there, heard Xi Qi's voice and looked over there, and saw the person who changed his face instantly, "Are you seducing?"

"This is for psychological comfort." Xi Qi shrugged his nose and looked forward, "Is this being regarded as prey? I heard that there are fish in this river that will jump out of the water to hunt for prey." The fish was almost a foot long. , bit the man's throat, and now the man's neck was still bleeding, obviously he died instantly.

"This fish jumps too high." Luo Ying was a little worried, "Most sailors don't want this kind of thing to happen on board, I'm afraid it will delay the voyage."

Xi Qi raised her eyebrows, didn't speak, stretched out her hand and pulled Luo Ying to stand aside, when Luo Ying was wondering, she heard a panic behind her.

"Hey, what's the matter? It's been a while since we set off. Something has happened." The boss of the boat clanged and ran over from behind, carrying an iron talisman and a fishhook on his body.When the boat boss saw the fish still biting the dead man's neck, he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Dragon Lord, spare your life, Dragon Lord, spare your life." The boss of the boat shouted a word that made everyone around panic.It's also strange, the boat boss finished carrying and kowtowing, the fish didn't move, twisted on the dead body, and let go of his mouth.

"A few people join hands and throw the dead body into the river." The boat boss shouted back, and several boatmen responded immediately. The boat boss walked over on his knees, and carefully picked up the long black fish with the ruler in both hands.And this sentence also reminded the woman that when she heard a cry, she rushed across the crowd and bumped into the boat boss, "Don't throw it away! That's my boss!"

The boss of the boat was kneeling, and before he could touch the ground with his hands, he threw the black fish out. The fish was thrown out, and its body stood upright, its tail resting on the ground, and its head shook violently.
