Volume 2 The First Entry into Officialdom Chapter 38 Those Things in the Temple
The fat man lost nearly a hundred taels of silver, and he was unwilling, so he stopped the two of them by drinking.
Liu Yinan looked back at the fat man: "What, Miss Ben wants to leave, but you still want to stop it?" ”
"You two are out of the old man, you won a lot of silver, and you still want to just leave? Are you so bluffing when you are Lao Tzu! He clapped his hands as he spoke. Then, the guys and servants in the gambling house instantly surrounded Jiang Lan and the others.
"Hehe, the wins and losses at this table are originally based on luck. Say that we are out of thousands, don't you listen to the dice points and count them out of thousands? Jiang Lan sneered. He glanced coldly at the guys who surrounded him, and he didn't pay attention to these miscellaneous fish and shrimp at all.
"Hehe, this is Lao Tzu's territory. Lao Tzu said that if you are out of a thousand, you will be out! At first, the fat man was a little suspicious of the identities of the two, but later saw that the two only had more than ten taels of silver in their pockets, so he guessed that the other party was just from two small commercial houses. In addition, he was angry and lost a lot of money, so he directly turned his face with the two of them.
"So, the master has to do it today!"
"I'm afraid you won't do it!" The fat man snorted coldly, and then waved his big hand at a few of his subordinates, "Do it!" ”
When several guys heard this, they pounced on the two of them and wanted to take them down directly.
How could Jiang Lan be afraid of them. Seeing him raise his leg and kick it, the guy in front of him flew out of the way with an "oops" and fell straight on a gambling table. Two gamblers who were still watching the excitement avoided it, and they were directly pressed under him.
A guy behind Jiang Lan reached out to hug him. saw that Jiang Lan seemed to have eyes behind him, and only one dodge made him pounce. He was about to pounce forward again, but suddenly he felt a tightness in his chest, and a heavy elbow hit him in the chest. This time, the pain made him roll straight, as if several ribs had been broken because of this.
Jiang Lan knocked down the two guys in an instant, and the others were all shocked, and they didn't dare to approach for a while.
He turned his head to look at Liu Yinan, and saw that she was stepping on the face of a guy who was trampled on the ground by him and couldn't move.
"These two have some skills! Brothers, move guys! The fat man shouted.
When the men heard this, they immediately took out the short knives and daggers hidden here from under the table, in the vase, and behind the door.
The group of gamblers who were still watching the excitement fled out of the door as soon as they heard that they were going to move. But there are also a few bolder ones, although they also hid far away, but they didn't leave - after all, their usual life is too boring, and it's hard to see such a good show at this moment, how can they easily miss it! As long as it doesn't affect themselves, it doesn't matter who lives or dies.
"Is this going to be a dead hand?" Liu Yinan laughed and kicked away the guy lying on the ground at the same time. She stretched out her hand and pulled out the three-foot soft sword from the jade belt around her waist, and then said to Jiang Lan: "Since they are unreasonable, we don't have to be polite to them!" ”
Jiang Lan nodded, and held the blade of kindness in his hand with his backhand.
"Up!" The fat man shouted, and at the same time picked up the bench beside him and threw it directly at Jiang Lan. Jiang Lan dodged and slammed the bench against the wall. He didn't stop, he took a step and rushed to the person closest to him, and before the man could react, he stabbed him in the knee with a low stab. The guy screamed and lay on the ground: "This kid has so black hands! Kill him, kill him! He clasped his hands on his knees, and blood poured from his fingers.
He must be crippled by now.
Jiang Lan didn't stop, he quickly pulled away, and rushed to the other person next to him, and also used the same method to abolish it.
Maybe Jiang Lan still had some kindness as a woman before, but after Wen Xun'er was humiliated and died, he was full of hatred for these wicked people who bullied people. didn't stab him directly in the chest, he was already considered benevolent!
Looking at Liu Yinan's side again, although she was holding a soft sword, her heart was obviously not as ruthless as Jiang Lan. She only swung her sword and cut a few people who rushed towards her, but she didn't seriously injure them.
Seeing that they were not opponents of the two, several guys were afraid, and they did not hesitate and ran straight out of the door......
In less than a moment, the guys in the gambling house fled with their injuries. The fat man's face was covered with cold sweat, and he stepped back tremblingly, while smiling all over his face: "Two heroes, heroes...... It's all a misunderstanding just now, and the little one doesn't mean to offend the two of you......"
Jiang Lan ignored the fat man, he turned his head to look at Liu Yinan: "Miss, what are you going to do with this guy?" ”
"Hmph, what is the use of keeping the wicked who bully the weak and are afraid of the weak? Just slaughter it! ”
Hearing Liu Yinan's words, the fat man sat on the ground with a grunt. Two lines of old tears with fat flowed down his old face full of meat.
"Haha. You fat man looks so strong, but you are less daring than a mouse! Liu Yinan snorted and laughed, "Miss Ben doesn't want to make more trouble, so you only need to kowtow to Miss Ben a hundred times, and Miss Ben will spare you." ”
Knowing that he could still live, the fat man immediately knelt down without hesitation. He wiped a handful of snot and tears from his face, and then kowtowed on the ground, kowtowing while shouting: "Thank you for sparing your life, thank you for ...... young lady" The cowardice was like two people with a fierce look just now.
Liu Yinan lost interest in the frightened fat man, she turned around and left the gambling house, and walked away on her own. Jiang Lan stood in place and was stunned for a while-if it wasn't for Liu Yinan's sudden change of words just now, I am afraid that he would really end up with the person in front of him...... How did my recent murderous intent become so heavy......
On the way home, Liu Yinan was like a little bird, chattering with Jiang Lan about everything that had just happened, and from time to time he let out laughter like a silver bell. Jiang Lan was helpless against him, he used to think that he was a chatterbox, but he didn't expect to meet someone who could talk better than himself.
It didn't take long for the two to return to the General's Mansion. As soon as he entered the hospital, Liu Yinan returned to his previous cold appearance. When a few of her servants saw her return home, they immediately stepped forward to salute her.
"Excuse me! Where's my dad? Liu Yinan said in a calm voice and with a cold face. Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment - this little girl pretended to be serious, it was like a different person!
"Second Miss Hui, the master went out in the morning, and I heard the housekeeper say that it seems that the emperor has something to find the master."
"Got it, you stand down." The subordinate retreated.
"Second Miss? Why, you still have a sister at home, right? Master...... Why hasn't the last general been seen? Jiang Lan coughed dryly, he almost forgot that he had returned to the General's Mansion.
"The eldest sister married into the palace very early, of course you can't see it."
"Unexpectedly, your family is still related to the royal family."
"Hey, what's so strange about this! Officials above the second rank of the Manchu Dynasty, but all those who have daughters in the family will marry their daughters to the emperor as concubines. Seeing that Jiang Lan looked like he had never seen the market, Liu Yinan explained.
"Oh...... Then this emperor has taken so many concubines, can he love them? Jiang Lan muttered, "By the way, your eldest sister has married into the palace, how can you ......" Jiang Lan regretted it as soon as he spoke, and he obviously saw that Liu Yinan's face slowly became gloomy.
She glanced at Jiang Lan: "Miss Ben is not willing to marry someone she doesn't love at all for the sake of some 'political in-laws'!" What's more, that person also has a lot of concubines! Miss Ben wants a real hero, the kind of ...... who has the heart of the world, is upright and has excellent martial arts" Every girl has fantasies about love, and so does Liu Yinan.
She grew up in the military camp since she was a child, and with her father Liu Zhengyi, she went on a crusade to the east and west, so she has an unusual preference for martial arts and military service. At the age of fourteen, he won the first place in the martial arts in front of the palace, and later accompanied the emperor to hunt in the west, and hunted a tiger with excellent archery skills. The emperor appreciated her very much, and her father worked hard for the Great Liang State and directly canonized her as the Marquis of Longchuan, and she also became the only female marquis since the founding of the Great Liang State. Liu Zhengyi also dotes on his little daughter, and many of his things all over the country are entrusted to her.
is such a woman who is not inferior to a man in all aspects, and her fantasy of the other half is naturally a man who is stronger than herself in all aspects.
"Caring for the world, being upright and excelling in martial arts...... Isn't this exactly what you're talking about? Jiang Lan thought to himself. He looked at Liu Yinan, who was immersed in fantasy, and couldn't help but shudder - this little girl looks good, but once she takes off her disguise and returns to her nature, she really can't stand it......
Jiang Lan was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard a shout from the people at the door: "Welcome back to the house!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Zhengyi walked in quickly. Unlike yesterday, at this moment, Liu Zhengyi's face was covered with haze, and he seemed to have encountered some unhappiness in the court.
"Daddy."
"General."
Liu Yinan and Jiang Lan stepped forward to greet them, but saw Liu Zheng walking straight past the two.
"General, what's the matter?"
"I don't know, let's go over and have a look."
The two of them followed Liu Zhengyi. As soon as Liu Zheng entered the main hall, he turned around and closed the door with a "bang". The two people who followed behind didn't know the situation, and they didn't dare to follow up!
"Okay, you old Chen Tong! Such a big opportunity to recover the rivers and mountains, just watch it flow away in vain? You clearly want to fight me to the end! With you as this master, my Great Liang Kingdom will end sooner or later! The literati misled the country...... Scholars mislead the country! Liu Zhengyi was furious in the house.
"Who is Chen Tong? Who is the Grand Master? Jiang Lan asked puzzled, but saw that Liu Yinan's face was also gloomy.
"Chen Tong is the imperial master, because of political disagreements with his father, he often opposes his father...... It seems that this time, Daddy has suffered a dumb loss at his hands again......"
