Late Night Tales Of The Capital - Chapter 114 - The Mowing Man
Chapter 114 The Mowing Man
There was no sound in the lobby of the wine shop.
Ye Que looked at Red Bean, he licked his forehead helplessly.
Every discerning person knew that the identity of these big men was definitely complex. They came to the shop not just for eating or drinking, anyone with clear mind and discernment would have known what they wanted.
These people were coming to rob!
Even the waiter standing at the doorway was helpless and licked his chest. He thought, “I’m afraid that someone is going to be hurt today. And maybe our small shop will not only close down, but also go to court. If a person dies in our shop, we will be responsible anyway.”
“Little girl, have you eaten too much meat and drunk too much wine so that your brain has been filled with water? Can’t you see the problem at all? Don’t be so rude to them even if you don’t have money. If you want to die, don’t bring others together.”
“It hurts not only yourself but also others!”

Hearing the angry shout from Red Bean, the face of these strong men who entered the door went dark, and even two of them had begun to sheath their knives.
The merchant who was sitting next to the man, fretted his eyelids, hurriedly took out a small bag from his clothes and then poured the money on the table. “Sir, there’s only so much on me. Please accept it.”
With someone took the lead, the rest of the tables continued to have a few people who took out the money and then put them on the table honestly.
How many silvers could be seen in the remote northern town of You Prefecture?
The silvers on these tables added up to less than five thousand grams.
The leading man gave a sign to the room. Then they saw these big men divide the silver on the tables into two parts, and half of the silvers were taken by themselves, while the other half was left on the table.
“If you do us a favor, we will do you a favor. We do need some money recently, so please forgive us if we trouble you. These silvers are our temporary loan, if it’s convenient for you, you can leave your addresses to us, in case we return them to you later.” The leading man arched his hand and said.
Besides the men at Ye Que and the other one’s table who was in a fur coat, the men at the rest tables were all standing up.
The big man sitting next to Red Bean picked up his own sword and then whispered, “I have already said that we just want you to do me a favor. We are not robbers. The borrowed money will be returned.”
When he finished talking, he pointed to the lobby. “Please don’t be the special people. We are not greedy. No matter how much you give, we just take half. If you really want to get in trouble with us, then don’t blame the ruthless of the sword in my hand. Since other people have borrowed money to us, if you don’t do that, it is unfair to them.”
In fact, Red Bean had never sat down since then, and was standing at the table. At this time, she looked at other tables, and squatted next to her. Suddenly she seemed to have realized something and pointed at the big men. “You!”
“You are the robbers?”
After that, she gave a slap in the face of Ye Que. “What are you waiting?”
“Didn’t you talk about it before that if you see the bad guys, you will help to punish them?”
“Now we have met the robbers! You are gonna do nothing? It’s not that you can’t defeat them!”
Hearing what Red Bead had said, the people in the lobby now knew that this girl really hadn’t realized it. She was so innocent, silly but cute! It seemed that the young man sitting next to her was the girl’s boyfriend. Listening to her words, they knew that they were probably rookies who first entered into the warrior’s world that they did not know that people were sinister. Now, in this case, whoever standing out would die!
Looking at the blood stains on this group of people, even now they didn’t use their swords, did she really think that they were just scary things that would not hurt anyone?
Nobody had ever heard that the robbers were afraid of blood since ancient times.
“Hero, I don’t need silvers, please be sure to accept them all.”
As soon as Red Bean spoke, even she was all right, the merchants next to her were scared. “Oh my god, if you don’t want to live, please don’t stimulate their anger! Maybe everyone has to be punished together with you. It’s better to get away from a disaster by money.”
Seeing that these people did not take the remaining half of the money, the merchant smiled obsequiously and gently hit his mouth. “Look at my poor memory, I was wrong. This money will be loaned to you. When it is convenient, you can return them to me. I’m not in a hurry.”
“Yes, yes, I also lend them to you. Not much money. It’s just an expression of my good will”
“And me, and me…”
For the merchants who just wanted to keep their lives, they had seen this kind of things regularly. The only correct choice was to use money and avoid disasters. There was no other way, unless they had enough confidence in themselves that they could confidently defeat this group of people.
Red Bean was confident, but now her poor body drags her legs.
However, she had nothing to worry about. Because Ye Que was also a practitioner from the Imperial Mausoleum of the ley lines of sovereignty, even if he was not as good as her, he wouldn’t be so weak.
In the impression of Red Bean, the last time she saw Ye Que fighting was still in Luoyang City. At that time, Ye Que just entered into the Psychic Realm. Although his sword skill was very delicate, in the eyes of Red Bean, it was still slightly flawed.
She stared at Ye Que again and found that he was looking at the group of strong men who just broke into the shop with great interests. Perhaps no one had realized something wrong, but Ye Que had found that these people were not that simple—they were not robbers at all. The military boots worn on their foot were even more promising. If his conjecture was not wrong, the boots should be unique to the Ye Army. There was a small leaf mark on the side of the boots which couldn’t be seen clearly without looking carefully.
Since Ye Que was the illegitimate son of the general, whether there was revenge in his original idea or not, or he really wanted to return to his true family, he had studied the General’s Manor. Anyway, the General’s Manor was always linked to the Ye Army, so recognizing the mark of the boots was not surprising.
“These people turned out to be Ye Army’s soldiers?”
“How could they be in such a difficult position?”
“Ye Army is responsible for the defense of the three southern counties of the Divine Capital. How can they appear in the You Prefecture North?”
“What happened to the General’s Manor? Or is there something happening in Luoyang City? So strange!”
When Ye Que was thinking, there was a sudden noise came from the corner of the lobby.
The strong man who was sitting in the corner and drinking wine alone did something that no one had seen. Then the two people sitting at his table fell straight on the ground with a deep bloody hole on his eyebrows passing through the skull. Blood rushed directly through the broken skull.
And soon the blood flowed to the ground.
“kill…”
“He Killed the man!”
“You, you…”
Merchant sitting nearby opened his wide eyes, his fingers were trying to reach out but he dared not to do that. He shouted out subconsciously for twice, but the second sound stopped. When they saw someone was killing, the strong man at the merchant’s table had already rushed out with his sword without saying anything. However, before the sword could detach from its sheath, he was pointed at the forehead. The ordinary finger was much more dangerous than a sword.
There was no accident and he fell to the ground.
And these all happened in a few seconds.
“who are you?”
The robber at the third table slapped the table and screamed. But when he said only three words, he was pointed at the left chest and the heart burst directly. But until this moment, the strong man in a fur coat did not even say a word. He took a few steps forward, and he could almost kill one person with only one finger simply in a step.
It was a fatal blow!
One finger could punish their death!
Now, all the remaining big men in the lobby were already standing up. The leader standing at the door also unsheathed his sword and was slightly squatting with the muscles of his whole body tight. Even if a blind man could understand that the robbery had encountered a strong character. The robbers had encountered a strong man who lived in the warriors’ world, and even maybe the legendary practitioner. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so powerful. His movement could not even be seen clearly, and there was no chance of rebellion before the people died!
“Hero, my brothers and I just came here to avoid troubles. We only want to seek some help. We are not robbers who rob others’ money. If there was some misunderstanding between us, I polite first, and then we will leave soon. So, please leave your mercy.”
Although his six brothers had already died, the situation was more compelling. Although the leader was sad and helpless, he could only bow down and apologize for a chance to keep their lives.
Without changing his expression, the strong man in fur coat did not stop his footsteps. He walked step by step to the leader, then looked at his outfit and finally spoke. “Are you escaped from You Prefecture City?”
Although the strong man looked young, his voice was extremely hoarse, like a crow who was caught in the neck and hadn’t drunk water for three days and three nights. A simple question was a little frightening when listened by other people.
“You are…?”
When the leader heard this question, his pupil contracted instantly, and a boundless fear slowly covered his eyes. The man’s hair was almost held up, his hands trembled, and he couldn’t even hold the sword.
A soldier of Ye Army, a warrior who had been on the battlefield, was scared by a simple question.
Looking at the leader’s appearance, the strong man in fur coat moved his lips slightly. “If you don’t answer, then you tacitly approve that.”
“Who are you?”
“You devil!”
“The ghosts that never scattered! What do you exactly want to do? Is your evil still not enough? Go to hell!” The leader held his breath and burst out in hysterics. As he roared, he threw all his strength with his sword at the strong man in fur coat. The light of the sword was so cold that it had never been before.
When the light of the sword passed,
the blood sprinkled in the lobby.
The leader was exactly the same as the one who died before. He fell straight to the ground, and even the sword in his hand was divided into two parts with half of it cut on his forehead and half inserted into his chest.
The strong man in fur coat bowed his head and looked at the leader who died with eyes still open. He whispered, “Who am I?”
“I am your mowing man.”
At this time, there was no sound in the lobby. This sentence could be heard by everyone. The merchants had not recovered from the shock, and the remaining big men had been scared and almost lost their souls. They did not know how to deal with the situation.
Rushing towards him with swords?
Or being caught without fighting?
But was there any difference? Anyway, they would be dead!
No matter how other people thought, anyway, the face of the waiter had begun to slowly recover. Originally, he had begun to find ways to escape, thinking about wandering in the world. But unexpectedly, the road turned around after the peak, there was a master hidden in his shop hidden. With just a pointing by a finger, the robbers turned into flying ash and annihilated.
“Mowing man?”
“Is that the knight-errant who specializes in heroism?”
