Chapter 03: Intricate

Chapter 03 is intertwined

The east gate of Luoyang seems to be much more lively today than in the past.

In front of the Fuyuan Inn, it is rare to have the scene of the old days.

"Oops, two guest officers! You're inside please! Xiao Er cleaned a table with a towel on his shoulder, and at the same time helped to take care of the hat.

Yang Ying and Yan Muling unsheathed their swords and sat down together.

"Two guest officers? Hit the tip or invest in the store? Xiao Er was busy setting the bowl and adding tea.

"Let's talk about it when we're full." Xiao Ling's mouth is fast.

"What are you going to do?"

"A pot of Fenjiu, stir-fried okra, a plate of beef, and three Hu cakes." Xiao Ling tossed a small piece of broken silver in the air and added, "Oh yes, burn another carp." ”

"If you have it, then you can listen to the book for entertainment first, and the inside will be fine immediately." The shopkeeper retreated.

When no one paid attention to the two of them anymore, Xiao Ling lay on the table and quietly asked Yang Ying: "Brother Ying, what should you do next?" ”

Yang Ying looked at Xiao Ling's big eyes with clear water, and said leisurely: "The above told us to contact Dugu as we wished." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ling seemed to be very dissatisfied. "Isn't that your enemy?"

"The enemy doesn't count, I just don't want to see them again."

"Why?" Xiao Ling twisted her water snake waist.

"I kind of hate that he didn't save my family back then."

"What the hell was going on back then? Have I heard that the Yang family and the Dugu family are sons and daughters? I also heard that the two young ladies of the Dugu family are both good-looking. Xiao Ling pursed his lips.

"It's nothing, when I was eighteen years old, my father Yang Zhen was promoted to General Jianyuan, and our family moved from Hongnong's hometown to Jingshi, living next door to Dugu's house, and the two families became neighbors."

"And then?"

"Later, my family was tragically destroyed, but Dugu chose to stand by and watch as he wished, causing me to lose my family."

"Destroy the door? Who is so ruthless? ”

"I don't know. I don't remember anything about this at all, and what I just told you was actually all told to me by my teacher. ”

"Mother?"

"Well, whenever I try to remember what happened back then, I have a splitting headache and I can't remember anything, so all of the above is only a few vague fragments."

"That's it......" Xiao Ling tempted. Then don't think about it, just stay in the military mansion, okay? ”

Looking at Xiao Ling's clear and transparent eyes, Yang Ying chuckled and nodded.

Xiao Ling was overjoyed, lowered his head and laughed.

At this time, the shopkeeper happened to come up with the board and set up the scalded wine jug and a few dishes on the table.

Xiao Ling regained his old dexterous expression, helped pour the wine, and offered the full wine cup to Yang Ying.

Yang Ying took it with both hands and asked Xiao Er casually: "What kind of joke is it said on this stage?" ”

"Back to the two guest officers, it is the "Eagle Eye Biography" compiled by Uncle Lu, which is said to be based on his old man's own personal experience."

"Oh?" Yang Ying took a sip of wine with great interest, and a burst of fragrance and refreshment entered his throat. "Hawkeye?"

"If you want to get back Liu Laohan's title deed, you have to convince the brothers!" The old storyteller sat high in the lobby, with a screen behind him, a table in front of him, a fan on the table, and a waking wood on the fan. "If you can be convinced, don't say it's a piece of waste paper, it's the entire cottage, and they all respect your brother!"

I saw the storyteller, open the paper fan, and as soon as his face passed, his demeanor seemed to turn into another person, and he said: "Then Liu Laohan's family is old and young, and they all rely on these three acres of thin fields to live, you gang of thieves, this is to take the lives of a family." What is convincing, how can there be these truths? In front of me today, none of you want to get away! ”

None of the guests in the audience craned their necks and widened their eyes, and some rolled up their sleeves, as if the gang of villains was in front of them.

There was a burst of swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and they surrounded the man in Tsing Yi, who was holding unevenly. The situation was about to erupt, but the man laughed to himself: There is a way to heaven, there is a road to hell, and there is no door to hell, so I will send you to see the Buddha today! took off the hat, it was actually the Heluo hero, called Eagle Eye! "Suddenly, the awake wood table slapped and scared the souls of the guests back." Thank you for your love, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown! ”

After a moment of silence, the audience applauded: "Good!! ”

"Bitter peach, collect copper money." The storyteller whispered behind the screen.

Immediately, a young girl in pink came out, combed her buns, held a large copper plate in a low voice, and did not speak, but silently walked between the guest tables, collecting money.

The old storyteller took this opportunity to take a sip of water and silently began to pack his luggage.

In the happy scene, no one noticed that there was a man in Tsing Yi sitting in the corner of the lobby, wearing a hat, unable to see clearly, leaving a whole ingot of silver in the copper plate, so he got up and left alone.

Yang Ying noticed a trace of abnormality, and motioned to Xiao Ling with his eyes, paying attention to the man in Tsing Yi who left.

But Xiao Ling raised his head and only saw a tall figure going out.

"Brother Shadow, what's wrong?" Xiao Ling didn't see anything.

Yang Ying tapped the place where the man disappeared with his fingertips, covered his mouth and whispered: "Judging from the posture of walking, that person is very good at kung fu, judging from the shape of the backpack, it should be a bow." ”

Xiao Ling gasped: "Is it friend or foe?" ”

"I don't know."

While he was talking, he heard a gong sound outside the door!

"Boom !!"

More than a dozen soldiers poured in: "Get out of the way!" ”

is not reasonable, and directly began to coax the guests who were eating.

"Get up, get up!"

Seeing this, the boss hurriedly took Xiao Er to greet him: "A few guest officers, this is ......"

"Fuck off, you guys!" But before he could finish speaking, he was pushed aside.

The girl holding the big copper plate happened to be hit and almost fell, but Yang Ying reached out and grabbed it.

"Thank you, child......" The girl in pink raised her eyes and saw Yang Ying, and hurriedly got rid of it shyly, not caring about tidying up, and first hurriedly hid the silver money on the copper plate into her arms.

"You're in charge? Clear the field for me, you ground, you're covered today! "A man who looked like a dwarf butler came out of the house, threw a gold ingot and smashed it in the boss's face.

"Uncle is good, this small business ......" The boss could only laugh.

"What do you mean, don't you toast and don't eat and drink?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Don't you dare, don't you hurry up and give me Zhang Luo?" The butler blew his beard and glared. "After a while, my son-in-law will arrive, can you afford it?"

Xiao Ling couldn't stand it, and his little hand slowly touched the python whip on his waist.

was grabbed by Yang Ying's wrist.

"Brother Shadow, let me teach them a good lesson."

Yang Ying shook his head lightly: "Don't reveal your identity." ”

The guests were scared away, and the boss was distressed about the food money, so he had to weigh the ingot of gold and hide it in the cuffs.

Yang Ying watched Xiao Ling calm down, slowly withdrew his palm, and directly picked up the wine jug with his other hand to drink.

A young woman in red clothes and leather armor, under the maintenance of several sturdy family members, stepped in heroically, glanced at Yang Ying and Yan Muling, and said, "Why haven't you left?" ”

Before everyone could react, the big butler gave the boss a resounding slap: "Don't blast me out quickly!" ”

"What are you! Don't deceive people too much! Xiao Ling still couldn't hold back after all, and stood up and scolded. At some point, he already held the whip in his hand.

"What are you?" Not to be outdone, the woman in red drew her sword out of its sheath and walked over.

As the master flashed his weapons, more than a dozen soldiers also hurriedly shouted, uniformly, and drew their swords to surround them.

"Don't don't, everyone is walking the rivers and lakes, stay here today, and see you tomorrow." Yang Ying used the handle of the knife to open the two women and be a peacemaker.

"Humph!" Xiao Ling glared at his opponent, flicked his head, put away the long whip, rolled up the short knife on the table and hung it on his waist, left his companion, raised his feet and left. "This world is just a few running rampant."

The woman in red did not respond.

Yang Ying smiled and clasped his fists and saluted, and followed.

Only the woman in red was left and stood in place.

When the two of them went out, the big housekeeper came up and asked, "Miss, just endure it?" ”

The woman in red slapped the butler with a backhand, and she shook her hair and went upstairs.

The old slave sat on the ground with a stunned face.

"Uncle Pei, hurry up." At some point, behind the old butler stood a handsome boy, wearing an iron mask, leaning down to help him up. "You don't know what kind of temper Nana has since she was a child?"

"It's nothing ...... an old slave to take a few hits"

"She has suffered a loss, and it is difficult for ordinary people to notice. I'll go up and see her in a moment. The Man in the Iron Mask looked in the direction where Yang Ying and Xiao Ling had left. The man in black, although I didn't see his face clearly, was definitely a first-class master in the world. With only one right hand, he broke away the fighting second daughter, but with his left hand, he was under the table, and pressed the dagger against Pei Na's lower abdomen. Because she was at a disadvantage, Nana didn't dare to attack on the spot. ”

"Then the eldest prince, who is so powerful?"

The Man in the Iron Mask didn't answer, but moved to the window step by step, looked at the clear afternoon sky, thought for a while, and said to himself: "No wonder the Crow Army Master ordered me and Nana to enter the city to ambush, it seems that there is already an undercurrent surging under this calm water. ”
