Chapter 8 Interception of Letters [Eight Changes]

Liu Xiaoer's tea shop is located next to a road that doesn't even have a name, but business has always been very good, just because this road is the only way for trade between Zhaozhou and Yingzhou, and the trade between merchants from the two states will inevitably pass through his tea shop. No, before dawn today, a group of people pulled a cart of goods covered with tarpaulins to their tea shop to rest.

It's quite strange for this group of people to say that they sit in their tea shop early in the morning to rest, and it is almost noon at this time, and they have no intention of leaving. A group of people found a shady place around the teahouse and sat up like this, the tea and snacks were all sent from Liu Xiaoer's tea shop, and the silver money was not missing him. Liu Xiaoer was naturally happy like this, not to mention that this guy did not occupy the seats in his tea shop, but it seemed that the two people in the lead had been sitting in it, and it did not hinder Liu Xiaoer from doing business with other guests.

At this time, there were no guests in the tea shop, so Liu Xiaoer found a time to get to the two people and chat: "The two guest officers don't know what business they are doing, why haven't I seen you before." ”

The handsome man with sword eyebrows among the two stretched out his hand to beckon Liu Xiaoer to sit down, and Liu Xiaoer took the opportunity to pull out a stool and sit down.

Another man with a slightly ordinary appearance replied with a smile: "We are a newly opened pharmacy in Zhaozhou City, and we will transport some herbs to the pharmacy in Yingzhou." ”

Liu Xiaoer knew that it was not good to ask too much about other people's business matters, but he did not continue the topic, but changed the conversation: "Those two are from Zhaozhou City?" ”

The ordinary-looking man replied, "No, our medicine shop is in Luancheng." ”

"Oh?" Liu Xiaoer was obviously surprised, but then he suddenly said: "Also, look at my brain, there is something big going on in Zhaozhou City, I heard that the city gates are sealed, and you are not allowed to enter or leave." If the two of them were doing business in Zhaozhou City, they wouldn't be able to come out today. ”

"Haha, that's what the store said." The man casually snorted and fooled over.

At this time, the little guys who were sitting and resting outside suddenly approached the handsome man with sword eyebrows and whispered, "Left Protector, the target has appeared." ”

The handsome man nodded, then waved the little guy out and waited.

Liu Xiaoer knew that people had something to deal with here, and he couldn't continue to sit here and chat, just when he saw a few galloping dusts from a distance outside slowly approaching. Liu Xiaoer took advantage of this to get up and said, the small shop may have business, the two of you sit slowly, and I will prepare to entertain the guests.

The handsome man with sword eyebrows smiled and nodded: "Shop, please feel free." ”

Liu Xiaoer arched his hand and waited outside the door.

The handsome man with sword eyebrows looked at the other companion and said, "Eighth Brother Chu, you go and take a few people to guard the back door, and there will be chaos later, but you can't slip a few and run up the mountain from the back door." ”

The ordinary-looking man was naturally Zhu Chuba, and he arched his hand at Han Lin and said, "Brother Han, don't worry, the back door will be handed over to me." ”

This small tea shop was originally not equipped with a door, it was just a small shed, and the back door in Han Lin's mouth was just a passage behind this small shed, but this passage was connected to the mountains and forests on the side of the road. Their mission this time was to stop the messenger sent by Nguyen Xiang Xi to Yingzhou for help, and as long as one of them escaped, the mission would be considered a failure. And the consequences of the failure of the mission are by no means something that the newly built Red Turban Army can bear.

Zhu Chuba and Han Lin went out together, and Han Lin ordered five or six people for Zhu Chuba, and then pushed a small car. Zhu Chuba took the people and the car, and walked to the front of the road, and then took advantage of Liu Xiaoer's inattention, took out a weapon from the car, abandoned the car on the side of the road, turned into the mountain forest on the left, and quietly dived in the direction of the back door of the tea shop.

Han Lin paid off the tea money, walked to the carriage and horses, and pretended to sort out the goods.

At this time, a few people riding horses in the distance happened to pass by the tea shop, and finally stopped in Liu Xiaoer's expectant eyes. It's just that only one of the three got off the horse, and one of them still told him uneasily: "Third child, fill the teapot, and come back quickly if you want a few snacks, our time can not be delayed." ”

The third child agreed, and quickly got off the horse and followed Liu Xiaoer to load water.

Han Lin stood not far from the two people on the horse, glanced at a few of his subordinates beside him, and reached into the tarpaulin covered by the car, the sword light flashed, and a shining cold light grabbed the throat of one of them. And a group of subordinates also drew their knives and slashed at another person at great speed.

Although Ruan Xiangxi knew that the Red Turban Army would inevitably be wary of him asking for help in Yingzhou, he was not willing to give up this opportunity completely, so the messengers sent to deliver the letter were naturally not mediocre, and they were all really good at work. Therefore, although Han Lin took advantage of the surprise, he still couldn't kill with one blow, and was flashed by that person, leaving only an extremely deep scar on his shoulder, which was full of blood.

The other person was even more disadvantaged, seeing that his companion was attacked, he reacted quickly, and none of Han Lin's subordinates could leave a scar on that person.

The one in the tea shop saw the eldest brother and the second brother being attacked, and his eyes were immediately cracked, and he immediately wanted to rush over to save people. However, the messenger who was slashed by Han Lin shouted loudly: "Third child, you go, hurry up." As long as one person escapes, they don't succeed. ”

This person's martial arts are not low, but Han Lin is not low-handed, plus this person is already seriously injured, at this time, he dares to be distracted to remind the third child in the tea shop, of course, Han Lin seized the moment of the gap and sealed his throat with a sword.

The third child's eyes suddenly turned red, but when he thought of the boss's last words before he died, he gritted his teeth, turned around and ran from the back door of the tea shop to the mountains and forests.

Han Lin glanced at him lightly, did not chase him, but joined the encirclement and suppression of the second child. Before Han Lin joined, the second child was still able to deal with it easily, but now as soon as Han Lin joined, the second child immediately began to retreat. It didn't take long for him to be beheaded by Han Lin's sword.

Han Lin walked past Liu Xiaoer, who was stunned, with a long sword that was still dripping blood, took out a bag of silver taels from his arms, and said: "Don't panic, the shopkeeper doesn't need to panic, we are not strongmen who rob the road, we are the people of the Red Turban Army, except for the original dog, we will not be enemies of the common people." This money should be regarded as compensation for the loss of your tea shop. ”

Liu Xiaoer was still stunned, it seemed that he was really scared.

Han Lin had no choice but to grab Liu Xiaoer's hand and stuff the money bag into his hand.

At this time, Zhu Chuba walked over from the back door with the body of the third child, threw the body in front of Han Lin, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”
