Chapter 115: Help
Time went back to the moment when Pang Ruolan walked out of Bao'er Pavilion, she checked her bloodstained clothes in the Snake Garden because she saved Qingling, and thought in her heart that she should really order a few new clothes, after all, she couldn't be too casual with Xi Yao.
The streets of the Imperial City were as prosperous as ever, and the bustling crowds and vendors who kept selling did not affect Pang Ruolan's thoughts, she thought of Qing Yu at this moment, and remembered the Yibao Pavilion he opened for himself.
Pang Ruolan, who had just walked to the door of Yibao Pavilion, was blocked by several officers and soldiers, and was feeling strange when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from inside.
"Do you still want to open this Yibao Pavilion? Isn't it just a few torn clothes? You must know that I am screening a clothing shop for the royal family for the imperial court, if you can choose this clothing treasure pavilion, will you be short of money in the future? "A woman with a strong figure, wearing a Luo skirt made of fine silk embroidery, wearing a golden crown on her head, was arrogantly reprimanding the owner of Yibao Pavilion and several men.
But the boss looked calm, and it could be seen that she was suppressing her anger and wanted to make a big thing small, but the silver taels that she stuffed into her hands were thrown to the ground by the woman.
"Want to send me away with such a small amount of money? Do you know who I am? The woman gave the shopkeeper a mouthful with her backhand.
"It's not a villain, it's just that the amount of money you ask for is a bit too much. Although the small shop entertains some nobles on weekdays, after all, the small shop has only been open for a long time, and there are many clothing shops in this imperial city, but there are not many young ladies and sons who are willing to spend money to support the party, so the income of the small shop is not as good as it seems. There were blood stains on the corners of the shopkeeper's mouth, but he said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Smack" was another mouth, the woman looked around at the clothing shop, and laughed: "You treat me as a fool?" Isn't your clothing shop profitable? How can you maintain it without making money? What do you eat? What do your guys eat? Less and get me money"
"It's about giving money"
"Right to take the money"
Several women in fancy clothes stood behind the woman with a strong figure, shouting and echoing.
"It's not that the small ones don't take. It's true that there isn't that much money, and if you collect it these days, the small store really can't afford it. The shopkeeper's face was bitter and explained sincerely.
Seeing this, Pang Ruolan understood that this beating woman seemed to be not the first time she had come to collect any recommendation fees, and she had collected money by herself in the name of choosing a special clothing shop for the imperial court. Disguised protection fees.
When the woman raised her arms again. But he suddenly grinned and put it down. But instead of grinning, she was grabbed in the face by Pang Ruolan.
"You" The woman didn't have time to reprimand her subordinates for accidentally letting her in, and punched Pang Ruolan's face.
"You're so thick-skinned. No wonder it hurts my hand," Pang Ruolan made an unbearable expression of hand pain, dodging the woman's fists and elbows that kept hitting her.
She recognized that this was the martial champion Wu Lian, who had a relationship with her when she was disfigured. However, at that time, her impression of this Wu Lian was not very good, because the champion of civil and military affairs paraded the streets together. When they met on a narrow road, Wu Lian once stole stones to frighten Wen Zhuangyuan's horses. He's a guy who likes to use scheming to see other people's jokes.
"You are looking for death" Wu Lian kept hitting Pang Ruolan's face, but she never touched the edge, she couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, she yelled at her subordinates: "Why are you still looking at it, hurry up and beat me to death."
"Don't beat me, we'll just give the money," the shopkeeper saw that Pang Ruolan, whom Qingyu admired, suddenly appeared. Frightened, she broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that this little shop was not very important, if she was injured or had an accident because of it. Then everyone in this clothing shop, including relatives at home. All have to die.
Pang Ruolan pulled Wu Lian's sleeve to help herself block the attacks of the women while dodging, and she dragged Wu Lian around with the strength of four or two thousand catties, constantly changing various postures in front of Wu Lian. Dodging and hiding, Pang Ruolan found a pattern, and while grimacing Wu Lian, she flashed up and down, and used Wu Lian's arms and back to bear the iron fists of the women.
"Haha." The shopkeeper and the guys on the side couldn't help but laugh at this situation, Wu Lian wanted to scold angrily, but was beaten enough by the women, and finally yelled "stop" and stopped the farce.
"You are looking for death" Seeing that Wu Lian wanted to continue to trouble the shopkeeper and others, Pang Ruolan slapped her in the mouth, grinned and asked her where she was looking, why it was so rude to talk to people.
"You" Wu Lian came back to her senses, thinking that she was not Pang Ruolan's opponent at all, she suddenly calmed down, squinted at Pang Ruolan for a while, gritted her teeth and threw down a sentence "You wait for me", and left the Yibao Pavilion with the women.
"Are you alright?" Pang Ruolan asked with a smile, but she was surrounded by the shopkeeper and the guys, and everyone was relieved to see that there were no traces of injuries on her body.
"Thank you Miss for your help today, but this woman is Wu Lian, the champion of martial arts, with a solid family background and a very good background, I am afraid that she will not give up. Miss don't come to this Yibao Pavilion again in the future, it's better to hide for the time being. The shopkeeper looked at Pang Ruolan worriedly, and wondered if this Yibao Pavilion would be closed for a while, anyway, Qing Yu already knew where she lived. And if this Yibao Pavilion is really an enemy of Wu Lian, it will definitely bring out the power of Qingyu, and the originally hidden clothing shop will no longer exist.
"It's okay, by the way, has he been to the clothing shop recently?" Pang Ruolan looked anxious, worried in her heart, and asked with a hint of expectation.
"My master, my master ......" The shopkeeper hesitated slightly, thinking that the master had told us some time ago to find this Miss Youlan, why hadn't they seen it? I don't know what the master is planning? So I didn't dare to say more, but I hadn't seen it for a while.
"Then if you see him, please help tell him, just say that Youlan is safe, but I'm worried about him." Pang Ruolan couldn't help but be disappointed, and a trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"In the future, if Wu Lian comes here to find trouble again, she will send someone to find me in Youfu." Pang Ruolan nodded to the shopkeeper of the clothing shop, thinking in her heart: Presumably, the martial arts people of various factions have arrived at the back mountain of Liuying Pavilion in the past few days, no matter whether this forbidden place has the same secret book of martial arts as rumored, Liuyingyan will add fuel and vinegar to tell everyone that I am the first person to go to the plank bridge that day.
It's just that fortunately, I'm still a pawn of the imperial court, and it's also useful, if the martial arts factions are looking for trouble with me and endanger my life, the empress should send someone to stop it.
Compared to the enemy Wu Lian, it is just one more enemy.
"Thank you, Miss, I just hope you take care of yourself, the villain's clothing shop will be closed for a while." The shopkeeper and a few guys looked at Pang Ruolan gratefully, thinking that it was no wonder that Qingyu loved the woman in front of her, and she really dared to act.
"Take care of yourself, too, and take your leave." Pang Ruolan walked out of the clothing shop slowly, and smiled self-deprecatingly, she liked to read time-traveling novels in her previous life, but now her dream has really come true, but she is so embarrassed.
"Then it's decided, you put away these silver tickets, first ask your sister a doctor, you find an inn to live in, and wait here for me to make an appointment at noon every 3rd." Looking up at the rising sun in the sky, Pang Ruolan remembered the previous agreement with the beggar man in the ruined temple. And today, the man should be waiting for him there. To be continued
