Chapter 80: Assassination

The sky in the imperial capital is changing, obviously the sun was shining just now, but now it is dark.

The air before the rainstorm was a little stuffy, and even the mood of the people slowly became depressed.

Because of the wind and rain, the small stalls on the streets are also empty, and pedestrians are in a hurry, for fear that there will be nowhere to hide when it rains.

In a corner by the window on the second floor of the Tea Hall, a half-masked man in a black cloak sits quietly, with several plates of exquisite pastries on the table, wisps of white smoke wafting from the spout of the teapot, and the fragrance of tea curling.

Maybe it's because he sits in a more secluded position, and even if he is dressed in a special outfit, it doesn't attract much attention from others.

But that doesn't mean that no one really pays attention to him.

"How long has that guest been here?"

Xiao Er, who was busy with work, looked back, the woman was holding an abacus, the slightly tight skirt perfectly outlined her beautiful figure, a pair of fox eyes looked at people with a little charm, and the whole person looked amorous.

"Back to the shopkeeper, this person came at about noon, and if you calculate carefully, it should be more than an hour." Xiao Er lowered his head and replied, not daring to look at the woman in front of him.

Really, I'm afraid that I will accidentally be hooked by the charming woman in front of me.

This is the new shopkeeper of their Pin Ming Hall, it is said that he was transferred from the Pin Ming Hall in the ancient capital of Qi Kingdom, and he looks so charming and moving.

It's a pity that she is a beautiful young woman with a dead husband.

"He hasn't touched the food on the table in more than an hour?" The beautiful young woman Yu Niang glanced at the things on his table, raised her eyebrows lightly and asked.

Seeing that Xiao Er shook her head, she thought for a while, and then walked over gracefully with an abacus.

The man in the corner had his back to the hall, so Yu Niang only saw his back.

As she approached, it was evident that the man reached out and picked up the sword that was set aside.

Yu Niang's eyes froze, but she didn't expect him to be quite vigilant.

In case he suddenly made a move, Yu Niang took the lead in speaking.

"Yo, but I didn't do a good job of this tea hall? Why didn't you see Childe eat a bite? There was a hint of joking in his voice, and it was clear that the person who came was from the Tea Hall.

Hearing this, the man looked sideways at the comer, "Something?" ”

Yu Niang smiled coquettishly and said leisurely: "Yu Niang is the new shopkeeper, no, the new official takes office, how can he be recognized by the owner if he doesn't make some achievements?" ”

"Yu Niang saw that the son had been sitting here for a long time and had not moved the chopsticks, for fear that there was something wrong with the food I ate here, so I came over to ask. If it disturbs the son, then the jade lady will pay for it here. ”

The man glanced back at the few juniors in the lobby, and saw that they didn't feel abnormal, and estimated that the identity of the woman in front of him was indeed correct.

After all, no one dares to openly pretend to be someone from Pinmingtang.

He glanced at the smiling woman in front of him, then picked up a small piece of osmanthus cake on the table and put it directly in his mouth, and then looked at the woman after swallowing.

"Is it okay?"

Yu Niang watched his series of actions, and knew that he just wanted her to leave early.

Her sexy red lips hooked lightly, and the tips of her fingers holding the abacus tapped the abacus one after another, "Then the jade lady will no longer disturb the child's meal." ”

After speaking, she left with light and enchanting steps as when she came, as if her appearance was really because she was afraid that something would go wrong.

Soon after the jade lady left, the man took out a hairpin from his arms, and the sound of rain outside the window gradually became louder, he stared blankly at the pouring rain from far and near outside the window, and slowly rubbed the silver hairpin in his hand.

After a long time, when the sound of the rain had gradually subsided, and the rain outside had slowed down, he got up and left.

As for the things on the table, except for the small piece of osmanthus cake that had just been eaten and an extra silver hairpin, the others remained the same.

……

The rain rained from afternoon to evening, sometimes slowly, but never stopped.

A rainy day is simply a kind of happiness for Luo Qi, the slightly cool weather and the rhythmic sound of rain are the most suitable for sleeping under this condition.

Therefore, since the time of rain in the afternoon, Luo Qi has been nesting on the soft couch in the main house of the Qing Pavilion.

Yiyi knew that her young lady liked the weather, so she didn't bother more, and if she walked around occasionally, her voice was subconsciously lowered.

Jasmine and Lu Xue live together, and since Jasmine came, Lu Xue has run to Qingge a lot less, not to mention that it is raining heavily now, and it is even more impossible for her to come.

So on this day, Luo Qi slept directly from the afternoon to the evening.

If it weren't for Yiyi's fear that she would be hungry, it is estimated that she would have been able to sleep until the next day to go to the morning court.

"Miss, Yiyi has made some food, now I'm going to bring it to you, don't sleep anymore, wait until the food is cold......"

For Luo Qi, Yiyi's voice at the moment was buzzing in his ears like a fly, and it was endless.

So she immediately interrupted Yiyi's words, "Got it, you go quickly, I'm hungry." ”

As soon as she heard that the young lady was hungry, Yiyi immediately replied: "Okay, then Yiyi will go and bring dinner to the young lady." ”

She ran out as she spoke.

After Luo Qi saw her walk out of the room, he immediately fell back to the soft couch and remained motionless.

There was only one light in the room, and the candles were dancing up and down from time to time.

I don't know how long it took, but the candles had burned out, and the house was pitch black.

A gust of wind blew in through the crack in the door, followed by a very light footsteps, and the raindrops on the clothes fell to the ground as he walked, making a very small sound.

The footsteps approached the person on the couch step by step, and finally stopped at the edge of the couch.

At this moment, a lightning bolt struck, illuminating the heavens and the earth for a moment, and it also happened to reflect the face of the person standing by the soft couch at this moment, with half of the mask on his face, and his eyes were full of fierce expressions.

He raised the dagger high, raised the knife in his hand, and stabbed the woman on the soft couch in the chest, and when the dagger was about to fall, the lightning light was projected onto the dagger and finally reflected in the woman's sharp eyes.

Caught off guard, the expected situation did not happen.

The man's eyes widened, his pupils shrunk to look at the eyes that suddenly opened, and then the wrist of his right hand, which held the dagger, was also tightly imprisoned by the woman.

"Say, who are you?" Luo Qi increased the strength of his hand, and the man's wrist soon became bruised.

In fact, Luo Qi woke up as early as the moment he entered the door, his steps were deliberately light, Yiyi was not a person who practiced martial arts, and she could not do it to this extent.

And the water droplets that he drips from time to time along the way, Yiyi just goes to the small kitchen, and he can't get drenched in the rain at all, let alone get wet.
