Chapter 21: Mouth Cannon

When Lu Yalan was tossing to reduce the swelling of her eyes, she didn't know that a group of bandits were less than half a day away from them.

Liu Huzi stepped over the dead branch and stopped in a clearing, he waved his hand to let the people below rest, and then walked aside with a few henchmen.

"I'm going to Yancheng soon, the third child is your hometown, tell me, if we do a big ticket and leave, where is the most appropriate?"

The person called Lao San has a full beard, a big shoulder, a thick waist, half a section taller than everyone else, and his arms are as thick as Liu Huzi's thighs. ”

He picked up a branch and briefly drew a topographical map: "Big brother, look. ”

He pointed out the three locations on the map: "Here, here, and here, these areas are sparsely populated and surrounded by dense jungles. ”

Liu Huzi looked at the map and muttered for a moment, "We still have chasing soldiers behind us, and this is not far from Yancheng, if we are not careful, we may attract officers and soldiers in the city, to avoid being attacked from both sides, we must fight quickly, so we must determine the target before we start, we have no second chance." ”

Liu Huzi pointed to the topographic map and asked the third child a few more words, and after pondering for a while, he pointed out a way: "Here, the second child, you bring people over, let go of the oil and water, don't startle the snake, and when the time comes, you must withdraw immediately if there is no suitable target." ”

Then pointed to another road and instructed the third child: "You are the same for the third child, take someone here to guard, come back as soon as the time comes, don't be greedy for small things." ”

Liu Huzi stood up, looked around, and looked at everyone with bewilderment: "Our soldiers are divided into three ways, Lao Tzu can't carry it without any gain, as long as there is a vote of oil and water, in the next few years, the brothers will lie down to raise fat, and there will still be wine to drink and women to sleep!"

Everyone was flushed and refreshed, as if they saw that a better life was beckoning to them.

Liu Huzi looked at the leaders with satisfaction, and the corners of his eyes swept to see Lao Qimian standing in the corner hesitating.

Liu Huzi squinted his eyes and raised his hand to signal quiet, and everyone's excited discussion came to an abrupt end, and they all followed Liu Huzi's gaze to look at Lao Qi.

Lao Qi is as thin as a monkey, as if only a layer of skin is wrapped around the bones, giving people a feeling that as long as the skin breaks the bones, it will poke out.

He joined later, and he entered the eyes of the third child with his cleverness and ruthlessness, because he is a fellow villager, he has to look up to the third child, so that he can become a small leader, and he has no lifelong friendship with others.

At this time, being stared at by so many people, the outlaw's own fierce bloodshed seemed to cover Lao Qi's body, and it seemed that he would be crushed to pieces as soon as he made any abnormal moves. Cold sweat flowed down the corners of his forehead and his eyes were dry and astringent, but Lao Qi didn't even dare to blink his eyes.

Liu Huzi didn't seem to notice it, and asked with a smile: "Old Seven, if you have any difficulties, just say it, everyone is a brother, and your business is the business of all of us." ”

"Yes, yes, say it!"

"Brothers will help you!"

The leaders echoed one after another, and for a while they looked quite brotherly and brotherly, and only the old seven in the center could feel the malicious eyes and the strong killing intent of everyone.

Lao Qi's whole body began to tremble, and he opened his mouth several times but couldn't make a sound, and his face turned pale as if he was going to faint in the next moment.

Seeing this, the third child stepped forward and said angrily: "Seventh, you miscellaneous piece, if you can't say one, two, three today, Lao Tzu will kill you." "Murderous aura.

"I, I, big brother and third brother..... I ......" Lao Qi trembled, and when he was interrupted like this, the surrounding atmosphere was stagnant, but he could make a sound.

Which of these leaders did not carry a few lives, and on weekdays, they looked at the face of the third child and were kind to this thin monkey, but now seeing that this person is still greedy for life and afraid of death, the leaders began to gear up, ready to teach this person a lesson, and some people have already taken out qiang.

Lao Qi took a few steps back uncontrollably, his legs swinging, like soft noodles, maybe it was too frightened, but Lao Qi spoke fluently: "Big, big brother, I have an idea." ”

"Oh?"

Liu Huzi was unmoved, and watched for a long time what he could say.

Lao Qi didn't dare to wipe his sweat, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, here is less than half a day away from Qianyun Temple, I used to have a good friend when I was in Yancheng, she often went to Qianyun Temple to incense, I also went to it a few times, and the most important thing in Qianyun Temple is Mrs. Kuo." ”

Liu Huzi narrowed his eyes and motioned for the brothers to put away their momentum.

The pressure around him was light, Lao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his life was temporarily saved, and said busily: "I think we have limited time, and it is not a way to wait for the big caravan to come to the door, and even if there is a caravan coming, most of the goods in our hands are in our hands, and there will not be a lot of money that we can carry with us, so it is better for us to go directly to Qianyun Temple." ”

Liu Huzi came to his senses, stood up straight, and motioned for Lao Qi to continue.

"There are a lot of us, and there are qiang in our hands, the monks of Qianyun Temple can't help us, and the gold and silver jewelry on Mrs. Kuo is a lot of money. If they are blocked by the army, will those people be able to ignore the lives of the common people, and will they be able to ignore the rich and noble? When the time comes, we will be able to capture a few hostages and get out of the way, and we will be able to earn another ransom afterwards, wouldn't we be able to count them in one fell swoop!"

The more Lao Qi spoke, the more he spoke, Liu Huzi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and several leaders also nodded one after another, looking at Liu Huzi expectantly.

Liu Huzi took a deep look at Lao Qi and patted him on the shoulder: "Good boy, this is a good idea, you will follow me in the future." ”

Then he turned to the others: "That's what we do." Let's go now, and at noon we can lie down in the Qianyun Temple and eat and drink spicy food!"

"Yes!"

......

"Hongxing, how about I cover my face with a handkerchief?"

Lu Yalan walked out with Hongxing, there were always people pointing along the way, there were people who didn't pay attention to Lu Yalan, and they were also reminded by their companions pulling their sleeves, and naughty children ran to her, staring at her openly, and at the end they still opened their ignorant eyes and asked innocently: "Sister, where are your eyes?"

As soon as Lu Yalan remembered the scene just now, her face involuntarily darkened.

Forget about being watched as a monkey, and specially ran over to stick a knife in her chest, but children are not careful.

Just a few steps after coming out of the room, Lu Yalan held her breath.

Hongxing really wanted to laugh at this time, but when she saw that her young lady was annoyed, she could only hold back her smile first, and said helplessly when she heard the question: "Miss, I can understand your feelings, but let's not cover your ears and steal the bell, okay, you can cover your face with a handkerchief, and you can't block your eyes, that will only make you more eye-catching in the crowd." ”

Hong Xing couldn't bear to remind her young lady that among the onlookers just now, several of them had seen them at the banquet before.

Lu Yalan seemed to walk straight forward, not caring about the surroundings, but in fact, the corners of her eyes kept drifting around, and of course she saw those familiar faces. She was supposed to go up and say hello, but now that this situation has passed, everyone is embarrassed, so it's better not to see it.

Walking to the place where no one was, Lu Yalan looked left and right to make sure that no one cared about her, and her stiff back relaxed.

"It's over, the reputation of the second lady of the Lu family is completely ruined. ”

She was completely depressed, and even the air around her seemed to darken:

Hongxing was a little unbearable, she had the heart to comfort her, but she didn't know where to say, so she could only coax her to be happy: "Miss, didn't you say it before, if you don't come to Jitai, we will have good luck in the future." ”

Lu Yalan perfunctorily said "uh-huh" a few times, which was regarded as a response.

In fact, before going out, she was ready, after all, her current honor is indeed somewhat eye-catching.

expected that there would be onlookers, and Lu Yalan did not plan to change her original plan, but it could only be said that there were one after another things happening during this time, and her thoughts were very different from before.

In the past, Lu Yalan was cautious everywhere, in order to give herself a good reputation, because only in this way did she feel that she could be worthy of Zhao Dingsheng.

But now she finds that the more she cares about fame, the more tired she becomes.

Since scratching the face of the second aunt, Lu Yalan has given up the so-called reputation of the business, so no matter what happens again, she can treat it with a normal heart.

was watched just now, and she just complained a few words, after all, anyone who was pointed at would not be too comfortable, but there was not much fluctuation in her heart.

Lu Yalan no longer cared about others, and only walked forward with her head covered.

Turning a corner, she stopped on her feet, her face turned cold, and she said to Hongxing: "This is the good luck you say?

Hongxing also looked up, and it was Li Qiuling who was standing at the intersection in front of her, as if she was waiting for them here.

Hongxing couldn't help but shudder, the color of her ruddy cheeks faded, and in an instant she returned to the morning when she was slowly flooded by the cold and biting water, and she was desperately struggling on the verge of suffocation. She involuntarily took a few steps back, as if she could get away from Li Qiuling a little further.

Seeing this, Lu Yalan held Hong Xing's hand tightly.

The next moment she felt the force of the grip coming from her hand, and the warmth was transmitted to the hearts of the two of them through the palm of her hand, and the red apricot relaxed slightly, gradually getting out of the nightmare.

Lu Yalan let go of her worries slightly.

This is a place dedicated to the king of heaven, it is wide and open, there is no shelter around, and what is happening can be clearly seen.

Lu Yalan looked around, there was only one monk who was sweeping the floor not far away, but there were not many people coming and going in the distance, and Li Qiuling didn't dare to do it here.

Li Qiuling sneered coldly when he saw Lu Yalan's movements: "I'm not some idiot, I will use the same method twice." Don't worry, there is no stupid provocation, Miss Ben is too lazy to train people. ”

Lu Yalan ignored Li Qiuling's yin and yang weirdness of one fool after another, in fact, if this woman hadn't blocked her way, Lu Yalan wouldn't want to look at her at all.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Qiuling changed into a small pink dress today, and her long hair was tied up high with a bow, fashionable and beautiful, which was simply the most beautiful scenery in the crowd. She walked over gracefully and circled around Lu Yalan a few times, like a proud princess carelessly picking through goods.

Lu Yalan was disgusted by the thoughts in her heart, and when she saw that Li Qiuling didn't answer, she pulled Hongxing and prepared to leave.

"Why did you leave, no matter what, we've known each other since childhood, and we're childhood sweethearts, so it's too rude to have a cold face. ”

The murderer ran over and made friends with the victim!

Lu Yalan was almost disgusted by Li Qiuling's shamelessness and shamelessness, and had goosebumps.

Li Qiuling likes to pretend to be innocent, and she Lu Yalan doesn't want to be aggrieved with such a scheming person, so she said directly: "You are making trouble with me because of Zhao Dingsheng, but I have nothing to do with Zhao Dingsheng." ”

"Zhao Dingsheng's wife will not be me or someone else, are you sure you want to pester me?"

Seeing Li Qiuling's face was ugly, Lu Yalan suddenly felt a little happy, she smiled and made no secret of her happiness: "Do you know why Zhao Dingsheng wants to withdraw from the marriage?"

Seeing Li Qiuling's cold face, Lu Yalan continued to mend the knife without waiting for her to speak: "Of course, it's because he has someone he likes." ”

"Who? Who is she?" Li Qiuling was like a demon possessed at this time, staring at Lu Yalan's eyes as if a fierce light was about to emerge, and she was about to pounce at any time.

Lu Yalan was not afraid of her.

Lu Yalan felt that she must have been too possessed by her second aunt at this moment, and she didn't feel anything when she usually saw the second aunt's face change suddenly when she said a few words, but now she knows that it was so cool to poke a knife at someone else's wound. Especially when the person is referring specifically to the enemy.

She was refreshed, and did not answer Li Qiuling's question, but continued to poke: "Wow, do you like your cousin Zhao and don't even know how to jail him?

"Ahh
