(Thank you very much for 'Book Friends 18672397', 'xmz123456', 'DENNISSEE', 'apharmy' for their generous support and monthly ticket support.)

The corners of the mouths of the nine corpses were slashed open with sharp tools, all the way down to the ears, and the white teeth were exposed. The corners of the eyes have also been tampered with, and a red thread was sewn to lift the corners of the eyes. In this way, the dead man was forced to make a smiling face, as if he was smiling to welcome the guests.

At this moment, Wang Junlin suddenly saw the nine corpses moving. The movement was very slow and incoherent, like puppets on strings, but even so, it was enough to make anyone want to be shocked. Absolutely.

Wang Junlin's face also changed, but he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the ground under the nine corpses. Looking carefully, some of the joints of the nine corpses were actually connected with thin silk threads, and the thin silk threads stretched all the way to the ground, and there are some small holes in the ground, obviously the ground below is empty, and someone inside is controlling the movement of the nine corpses through these silk threads.

At this time, the nine corpses moved again, they made a neat gesture of invitation, opened and closed their shriveled jaws, and shouted in unison: "Nine corpses welcome!"

Of course it wasn't the nine corpses talking, the voice came from under the nine corpses.

Wang Junlin took a deep breath and thought to himself: "This **** is really good at playing. If I don't have sharp eyes and ears, I will be really scared."

The half-breed boy next to Wang Junlin who welcomed Wang Junlin saw that Wang Junlin's face was calm except for the slight change in his face at the beginning, and there was even a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He explained: "Dear guest, nine corpses welcome guests with nine corpses that died in different ways to welcome guests. It is the most noble etiquette that has been handed down by our clan since the Spring and Autumn Period."

Wang Junlin nodded with an eye-opening expression, but still did not speak, and followed the man into the tent.

As soon as he walked into the giant tent, he was taken aback by the scene in front of him.

Just entering the entrance of the giant tent, there were two large chopping boards, each with a girl with eyes lying flat on it. Both girls had gold leaf masks on their faces, and Wang Junlin couldn't see their appearance clearly.

The two girls had leather ropes around their mouths. They wore clothes that Wang Junlin was very familiar with. Their heads were fixed on a wooden clip, and their whole bodies were trembling. There were four thick men beside them. In one group, one of them held a chisel in his hand and kept making gestures on the girl's head, as if he was going to chisel the girl's head open. The other person was holding a plate, like a waiter waiting to serve food.

"Dear guest, you have come from afar. My master has an itchy body and cannot come out to greet you. In order to make up for the lack of manners, in addition to the nine corpses to welcome the guests, we have also prepared the highest etiquette of our family for the guests - a Welcome to the girl's wine glass." The butler introduced enthusiastically from the side.

Wang Junlin cursed secretly in his heart: "This group of perverts, no wonder they were almost exterminated by the Huns in history. Your **** etiquette is too anti-human, anti-human, okay!"

Wang Junlin only knew that Zhaowu's nine surnames had nine corpses to welcome guests, but he didn't know that there was also the etiquette of using a girl's head as a wine glass. However, he remembered that in the Middle Ages in Europe, some corrupt old and weak nobles used the skulls of virgins as their drinking containers in order to prolong their lives. It is said that this can prolong their lives. It must be taken from the head alive on the spot.

Wang Junlin remembers reading in which book, the three things such as lighting lamps with human oil, skull wine cups and human-skin masks are considered the most inhumane way, and they are nailed forever as a shame of human beings. On the pillar of shame of history.

Whether it is in later generations or in this era, Wang Junlin has killed people, and he has killed many people, but he still can't stand these perverted actions, not to mention the clothes on these two girls. The clothes Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yuer were wearing when he left Shazhou in the morning.

So Wang Junlin said seriously: "I really hate this etiquette."

As he spoke, he had already reached out and removed the leather cords from the mouths of the two girls, and lifted off the masks on their faces. Before the masks were taken off, the two girls began to cry loudly. Wang Junlin's expression changed drastically, and he took off the mask to see if it wasn't Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yu'er, or someone else.

Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yuer were obviously terrified. They both got up and hugged Wang Junlin's arm without letting go. They were trembling all over. Their two rows of teeth kept hitting each other and made a rattling sound. They were already drenched in sweat. clothes on them.

Wang Junlin patted Su Jingxiang on the shoulder, his expression darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "I hate people threatening me the most in my life."

At this moment, a hoarse and weak voice came from the huge tent.

"Don't blame the poisonous general. These lowly people below don't know the preferences of the poisonous general. They have prepared these etiquettes for welcoming guests. They really deserve to die. Now that the poisonous general is coming, it's better to get a account and be as knowledgeable as those lowly people What, if the poisonous general is dissatisfied, he can be killed."

Wang Junlin took a deep breath, took Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yuer's hands, and walked into the giant tent.

The huge tent has sixteen windows, and the skin of an unknown animal is pasted on it, which is thin and transparent. The layout inside can be called magnificent, with colorful curtains everywhere, various precious utensils inlaid with gold and silver, and golden nanmu furniture are placed inside very carefully.

Wang Junlin suddenly noticed that Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yu'er beside him began to tremble again. He raised his eyes to look deep into the middle of the tent, and found a person sitting on a throne.

Wang Junlin saw this person's appearance clearly, especially his skin color, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation. This person is very tall. Although he is sitting, Wang Junlin estimates that he is at least two meters tall, but this is not to surprise Wang Junlin. The reason for shouting, because this person turned out to be a black man.

"What the **** is going on? How could there be black people in China at this time." Wang Junlin exclaimed in his heart, but when he looked carefully, he found something wrong. , because he saw that the black man had a pair of white hands.

"This...Your Excellency has a strange poison." Wang Junlin narrowed his eyes, and suddenly remembered a strange poison he had heard about in later generations. My heart is also much more stable.

The eyes of the person sitting on the throne suddenly brightened, his expression excited, and said: "The poisonous general really deserves his reputation, and there is a way to detoxify."

Wang Junlin did not answer, but asked instead: "Who is your Excellency?"

The man said with a smile: "I killed Qianmo, I took the liberty to invite the poisonous general here, and I also invited the poisonous general Haihan."

Wang Junlin frowned, the word "kill" was not any of Zhaowu's nine surnames, but then he suddenly thought of something, his body shook, seeing the tall man who claimed to be Sha Qianmo shrank his pupils, and smiled With a sound, he said: "So it's the Horse Thief King of the Western Regions in person, and I'm being rude."

Many people in the Western Regions don't know who the Khan of the Western Turks is and who the King Bailan of Tuyuhun is. But no one does not know that the horse thief king of the Western Regions, Sha Qianmo, is said to have done all kinds of evil. He has been in the land of the Western Regions for more than ten years. It is said that he is three feet tall, rides a huge white camel, and eats every meal. A calf, he has nine brothers under his command, each of them is a demon, after robbing and killing people, they have to dig out the heart and liver of the merchant, and roast them with fire.

Of course these are just legends, but most of the legends have some basis in the so-called empty ground. For example, Sha Qianmo is three feet tall. Although it is too exaggerated, Sha Qianmo is two meters tall. , indeed much taller than ordinary people.

The Western Regions is the place where horse thieves are most prevalent in the whole world. A wise man once counted the number. There are no less than 100,000 horse thieves in the Western Regions, and the legendary horse thief king Sha Qianmo has 30,000 horse thieves in his hands.

It is said that these 30,000 horse thieves, who are more ferocious than wolf cubs, are usually scattered in nine places in the Western Region, with 3,000 people in each place, and Sha Qianmo himself leads 3,000 people. And the leaders of the horse thieves in these nine places are all loyal to Sha Qianmo, as long as Sha Qianmo gives an order, they can serve Sha Qianmo to death.

It can be said that in the Western Regions, Shaqianmo's deterrent power is second only to the Great Khan of the Western Turks, and even the Western Turks are afraid of Shaqianmo. It has long been rumored that Sha Qianmo has long proclaimed himself the horse thief king. If he wanted to establish a country in the Western Regions easily, the reason why he did not establish a country was because he wanted to build a big country that could compete with the Western Turks.

Since he came to Gaotai City as the guard, Wang Junlin has heard many rumors about Sha Qianmo in the past half a year. Of course, this man has killed countless people and is a villain among villains, but his deeds are a legend.

Wang Junlin thought that one day he must meet this horse thief king, but he never thought that he would meet here and in this way.

He suddenly remembered that in the original history, there were nine desert oasis countries in Central Asia during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, that is, the "Nine Surnames of Zhaowu" countries, including Kang, Shi, An, Cao, Shi, Mi, He, Huoxun and Wudi country. They are on the ancient Silk Road and have been good at doing business for generations. After the Western Turks were pacified in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, these nine countries surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and then began to integrate with the Han people in the Central Plains. And several of these countries have become the origins of some surnames in China.

"Could it be that the nine-member horse thief under Sha Qianmo's command is the Zhao Jiu surname?" Wang Junlin thought to himself.

Seeing that the famous poisonous general Wang Junlin's expression changed after hearing his name, Sha Qianmo looked satisfied, and said: "Since the poisonous general came out, he has poisoned Longxi City, burned Shuiquanguan, and destroyed the Western Turkic camp. The 200,000 army of food, grass, cattle and sheep, this incident, made me yearn for the poisonous general! As far as I know, some time ago, the three major forces of the Western Turks had internal strife, and nearly 100,000 people were killed and injured. From the hands of the poisonous general."

Wang Junlin smiled and said, "Compared with Your Excellency's heroic deeds, what I have done is far different. On the contrary, Your Excellency has been in the Western Regions for more than ten years, so I am yearning for it."
