Chapter 119: Martial Arts Confrontation
Fu Mujian, who was standing on the tree, suddenly found an old acquaintance on the roof, who he recognized as wearing the black leather armor, and the black-clothed guards who were running for Emperor Minghua at the food party were wearing exactly the same suit.
If, I'm not mistaken, it's the same person.
Presumably it was the last time he fought with the man in black on Qixi Festival, he accidentally exposed his martial arts and provoked Minghua's spies.
But why, the man in black stared at Yue Xiaoxiao?
Suddenly, the figure in front of him disappeared, and Yue Xiaoxiao disappeared too?
How to explain to Brother Yan now.
He hurriedly went upstairs, only to find that the corridor where Fang Cai Yue Xiaoxiao was was empty.
The person is really gone.
*
The time of the two sticks of incense passed in the blink of an eye.
Shunhua put the prepared things in his baggage and hurriedly went upstairs.
As soon as she pushed open her door, there was a smell of oil that was so strong that she wanted to vomit, and she stared at Long Thirteen and the dozen or so roast chickens on the table.
"Are you hungry?" She couldn't help but ask.
The dozen or so roast chickens at the thirteenth o'clock of the dragon made the already not wealthy 'family' even worse.
"It's not about Ben Shao's business, it's all to blame you, what the hell code I made up - I want to eat roast chicken, no one came to save me at all, the innkeeper also took the opportunity to keep giving me roast chicken, Ben Shaodu... Vomit..."
Seeing that he was about to vomit, Shun Hua was suspicious.
Could it be that Little Thirteen's misogyny suddenly reacted to him?
"Ben Shao has already eaten three roast chickens downstairs in a row, and now, when he smells this smell, he thinks... No, heckβ"
With that, Little Thirteen took out an empty wooden basin and vomited.
"That means you can't ask anything."
Shunhua pressed his nose and stood a little farther away.
"Who said that, I just asked the innkeeper, there is a child's room, there are three rooms in total, but I don't know if the child you are looking for is not in it, vomit-"
Before he finished speaking, Little Thirteen vomited again.
"Isn't that good? Well done. β
Suddenly, she noticed that there was one person missing from the room.
"Where's Yue Xiaoxiao?"
Fu Mujian, who was standing by the window, looked out of the window gloomily.
"Brother Fu, didn't you go with her to find someone?"
"Well, she suddenly disappeared from under Fu's nose, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the corridor."
Shunhua pursed his eyes slightly, "Brother Fu still remembers which corridor." β
"The third floor, near the ground room." Fu Mujin recalled carefully.
Hearing this, Xiao Thirteen was stunned, raised his head and interjected, "One of the rooms is the second room of the word Dizi, vomit-"
"Brother Fu, let's talk as we go, little thirteen, you stay here."
I don't know if he heard it or not, but I saw him wave and continue to vomit.
On the way, Fu Mujin looked at the burden on Shunhua's back and asked suspiciously, "Brother Yan, what is this?" β
"You'll know later, just now, this little master went to the yamen and found this."
Fu Mujin took the wanted notice handed over by Shunhua, the ink on it was new, presumably Shunhua had just copied it.
As he looked, he said: "The cold-faced one-horned immortal, Yu Minghua brutally killed twenty-three death row prisoners in Feisheng Town Prison in the seventeenth year, and committed several homicides in the twenty-third year of Minghua, including seventeen women and twelve children, all of whom died in a horrific state and were unbelievable. β
"Did you see that? Do this person's eyebrows and eyes resemble the old woman today? Shunhua pointed to the portrait of the wanted person and asked.
"Yes, in this way, isn't the Moon Girl dangerous." He said nervously.
"Fortunately, it's late at night, the enemy is in the light, we are in the dark, if the people in the second room are really them, then everything will be easy."
After that, Shunhua pulled down the hairpin, her long hair was like a waterfall, soft as silk, she neatly combed a bun for herself, put on a women's robe, and sprinkled a handful of flour on her head.
"Add that and you're done."
Shunhua smeared three lines of yellow mud on her forehead, and it looked like she was really a happy fat old lady, scarlet with red and pink.
"Brother Yan, are you disguised...?"
"Is it okay? Like an old lady? Recognized? β
He turned around, reached out to help her wipe the excess flour on her face, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, it's dark, don't look carefully." β
"But why do you disguise yourself as an old woman?"
Shunhua said proudly: "The granddaughter who is looking for grandma is gone, so grandma is naturally going to come to find granddaughter." β
"Wait a minute, Master Ben will knock on the door, after you come to break off, see the right time to rescue Xiaoxiao first, if the child is really coerced, we will rescue him together."
Fu Mujin nodded, "Brother Yan be careful. β
Seeing Fu Mujin jump off the ground, jump onto the treetops, look at the window that was open but couldn't see anything clearly, and wait for the opportunity to rush in to save people.
Shunhua bent down, lowered his throat, coughed, and knocked on the door slowly.
"Excuse me, have you ever seen my lovely granddaughter?"
This No. 2 room is really mysterious, it seems to be empty inside, no matter how sensitive her ears are, she can't hear any movement.
Suddenly, there was a sound, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Shunhua's heartbeat began to get louder and louder.
The door was slightly opened, and it was pitch black, and it didn't seem to be lit.
"I don't know what the old man is talking about?"
"Have you seen my granddaughter? It's just short, whoa-"
Shun Hua, who pretended to be an old woman, cried out, and the other party was taken aback, and he didn't even have a chance to refuse.
"I went out, my granddaughter didn't know where to go, what's the matter, her father died, her mother died, and the old woman was the only one left, ah-"
Shunhua cried so much that the other party's skull hurt, and the whole person was frightened, so he slowly opened the door.
After a while, a man dressed as a scholar walked out from behind the door, the other party looked kind, and had two small dimples when he smiled.
"Little boy, have you seen my granddaughter?" Shunhua cried and pulled the scholar's sleeve, picked it up and wiped his nose.
"You, you, calm down." The scholar couldn't pretend anymore, and pulled back his sleeve with a disgusted face.
Shunhua grabbed the other party's hand and cried: "The old woman just went out to buy dates to eat, and her granddaughter was not in the room when she turned around, the old woman asked others, and they said that my granddaughter had just come out to look for me, why did she disappear in a blink of an eye?" β
The 'heartbroken' cry made so loud that the doors of the nearby rooms opened, and the guests stuck their heads out to look, and some people cursed: "Is it so noisy at night, crying and mourning?" β
Some people even shouted loudly: "It must be a bad boy, and he actually drove his old mother out at night." β
Hearing this, the scholar's face turned blue and white for a while, and he didn't know the old man in front of him at all.
Could it be that they are really mistaken?
He raised his eyes and looked at the gray-haired old woman in front of him, wanting to see if she also had a big mole in her ear, how did he know that Shunhua's bun just blocked half of his ear, and he couldn't see it.
Shunhua's crying was even louder, she lowered her head and pretended to cry, she quietly touched the mustard mint paste in front of her nose, and when she looked up, her eyes were full of tears, and she cried movingly.
The scholar was afraid of causing trouble, and hurriedly said:
"I haven't seen your granddaughter here, please look elsewhere." With that, he pulled Shunhua's hand away, closed the door, and let her fall outside the door.
None of the people who came out to see the excitement stepped forward to help her, and closed the door one after another, as if nothing had happened.
Shunhua stood up casually, crying, and counting: "Three, two, one, down." β
As soon as the words fell, there was a bang from the door, and it seemed that something heavy had fallen to the ground, and then, a female voice sounded in the door, and she shouted in shock: "Bin Lang, what's wrong with you, Bin Lang?" β
Shunhua stood up straight, kicked the door open, the candlelight of the corridor shone in, and the old woman knelt beside the scholar and looked at her in astonishment.
Seeing this, she reached into the robe, grabbed a handful of powder and sprinkled it on the old woman's face, and waited proudly for the other party to fall to the ground unconscious, how did the old woman cough a few times, and glared at her angrily: "You crazy woman, what did you do to my family Bin Lang!" β
"Oh no, I spilled the wrong flour."
Shunhua reached into the robe in a panic and took out the medicine bag again, at this time, the old woman who reacted kicked the stool over, Shunhua turned around with a flat bottom, dodged the stool that hit her, she turned her head and inserted a foot in front of her into the door.
If this foot is stepped on her face, half of her nose will be gone.
"You really know martial arts."
At this time, the medicine bag in Shunhua's hand was ready, she tore open the medicine bag and sprinkled the medicine powder.
The old woman coughed twice and fell to the ground, Shunhua took a few steps back, waited for a while, and saw that she really didn't move, so she dared to come forward to look.
She slowly stretched her fingers to the old woman's chin, intending to tear off her mask, but suddenly, the other party opened her eyes and grabbed Shunhua's throat tightly with one hand.
"Ahem..."
"I didn't expect it, do you think we will hit the same trick twice?" The old woman's voice suddenly became very young.
Shunhua, who was having trouble breathing, looked at the hideous face, and the vision in front of him became more and more blurred.
She grabbed the other's wrist with one hand and threw a bell out the window with the other.
In the darkness, the tiny thing landed softly on the ground with a faint thud.
It was as if it was her last cry for help.
"Fu... Elder brother. β
As she was about to darken, a vague white figure burst into the narrow line of sight, and before long, she fainted.
*
When she opened her eyes again, the hideous woman had fallen to the ground, and she was lying in someone's arms.
"Brother Yan, are you okay?"
Shunhua smiled reassuringly, stretched out his finger and pointed at the old woman, and said weakly: "Quick, tear off that person's mask and check it, is it the person on the wanted warrant?" β
Fu Mu Hibiscus nodded suspiciously, put her down, and Shunhua lay on the ground to feel the breath of life again.
He reached out and tore off the mask on the man's face, and in front of him was a fierce and hideous face, but this face did not match the portrait of the cold-faced unicorn fairy at all.
"Brother Yan, it seems that she is not the person on the wanted notice." Fu Mujin was a little regretful.
"Not? This sucks. Shunhua gasped vigorously and shouted in a hoarse voice.
Fu Mujin looked at her in bewilderment, and a rush of footsteps came, and a large group of officers and soldiers with weapons suddenly rushed into the room.
"Don't move!"
Shunhua closed his eyes slightly, took a big breath, and reluctantly stood up.
All this seems to be expected by Shunhua.
The officers and soldiers walked to Fu Mujian's side, looked at a man and a woman on the ground, took out the wanted warrant and carefully checked it, and laughed: "Little fat man, you are three thousand taels, you are convinced, right?" β
Fu Mujin was puzzled, "What happened to Brother Yan?" β
"Before, Master Ben went to the Yamen and wanted to report to the official, how did he know that Minghua's law stipulates that if there is no real evidence, the case will not be filed, so Master Ben made a bet with this Song Zhutou in private, saying that if Master Ben catches the cold-faced unicorn fairy on the wanted warrant, he will share half of the reward, and if he can't catch it, he will give him double."
Fu Mujin was stunned, but he didn't expect this reason behind it.
Shunhua lowered his head, his eyes sank, and his brain turned quickly.
The wanted warrant for the unicorn fairy came to mind again.
Seventeen years of Minghua...
"By the way, how many years is Minghua this year?"
Hearing this, the official thought that Shunhua wanted to repent, and hurriedly shouted: "It's useless, no matter how many years Minghua has, you still have to pay three thousand taels, and you have to pay it exactly to Zaixia, haha." β
"Say it quickly."
