Business was not good on a rainy day, and Butcher Zheng also closed the stall early, saw Tang Ning, smiled honestly, and said: "There is still half a catty of fine meat left today, and it will not be fresh tomorrow. ”

Tang Ning smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you!" ”

The third uncle would send two servings early every morning, and since then, there has been no shortage of meat in the family, although it is still Butcher Zheng who has suffered a loss in comparison, but he obviously doesn't care about these.

When I got out of the shop and walked down the street, the rain became heavier and heavier.

Fang Xiaopang walked in front alone, her two guards followed behind her, and Tang Ning and Li Tianlan were a little farther away from them.

Because Fang Xiaopang was about to jump in twice when she encountered a puddle, the rain was so heavy that the hems of her shoes and clothes were wet, and then she was even more unscrupulous and fearless.

Worried about being splashed by her, Tang Ning and Li Tianlan had to stay away.

Tang Ning held an umbrella and asked casually, "Miss Li can't go home for the Chinese New Year this year, right?" ”

When there is no one else around, he doesn't need to call Brother Li and Brother Li.

Li Tianlan nodded and said, "During the New Year's Festival, it should be in Chen Guojing's division." ”

Tang Ning has chatted with her a lot these days, and knows that the envoys of the Chu State came to the Chen State this time, not only to send tribute, but also to learn the advanced cultural system of the Chen State in all aspects.

They will stay in Chen Guojing for long enough.

Tang Ning didn't know if the people of Chu were as diligent and eager to learn as she was, but I thought that Chu could go from weak to strong in such a short period of time, and there should be a reason for this.

He looked at the rain curtain around him, shook his head, and said, "I don't know when this rain will end......"

Fang Xiaopang was bored playing by himself, so he ran over from the front again and said, "It's good if it rains, you don't have to go to school on a rainy day, and you don't have to memorize poems, by the way, when the rain stops, let's dig mushrooms and eat......"

Until now, Tang Ning didn't understand why Fang Xiaopang, who was born in a big family since he was a child, had fine clothes and fine food, and didn't worry about food or clothing, why he was so obsessed with eating.

Tang Ning was puzzled in his heart, and two figures in robes passed by them.

When they passed by Tang Ning, the footsteps of the two stopped.

"Be careful!"

Li Tianlan's voice appeared in his ears almost instantly, and then, he felt that he was being pushed away violently, and at the same time, the two figures in the robes had already flown out, and under the rain curtain, there was a cold light in their hands.

Tang Ning almost fell, and when he came back to his senses, he found that there were already several figures on the street wearing robes and covering their faces with cloaks, both in front and behind, forming a trend of surrounding them.

Fang Xiaopang's two guards had already reacted, pulled out their weapons, and stood beside Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan looked at them and said, "You guys go quickly!" ”

The way to and from was blocked, Tang Ning grabbed Fang Xiaopang violently and ran towards an alley beside him.

He knew very well that the two of them staying here would only become a burden to Li Tianlan and them, this alley was not a dead alley, there was a path at the end of the alley that could be passed by one person, through that alley, dozens of steps further, was the Yongan County Ya.

Fang Xiaopang was also frightened, and was led by Tang Ning, and ran towards the depths of the alley in a daze.

The path at the end of the alley is a gap formed between two walls.

Tang Ning pulled her, ran to the end of the alley quickly, looked at Fang Xiaopang, and said, "Come over!" ”

Fang Xiaopang tried to squeeze into the path, but he was stuck in it and couldn't move forward.

"I, I can't get by!" Fang Xiaochub's face was pale, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears in his eyes.

Tang Ning's face was covered with rain, and his heart sank as he watched this scene.

Fang Xinyue's two guards had already been forced into the alley, looking at the clothed man in front of him, and said angrily: "Who are you!" ”

Li Tianlan used the put away umbrella as a weapon and used the umbrella as a sword, and in a short time, two people in clothes had already fallen to the ground.

As soon as she toe at her tiptoe, she picked up a long knife from the ground and held it in her hand.

The knife flashed, and another man in a cloth fell to the ground.

Of the eight clothed people, only five remained, two of them fought with Fang Xinyue's guards, and the other three formed a situation of encirclement, surrounding Li Tianlan in the middle.

There was another knife light in front of her, slashing at her knife-holding hand, Li Tianlan didn't care about it, and the blade pointed directly at the chest of the clothed man.

The sound of two swords cutting through flesh.

A bloody streak appeared on Li Tianlan's arm, which was quickly washed away by the rain.

The man in the cloak was pierced through his chest by a long knife, and his hands clutched the long knife stuck in his chest, and he fell to the ground.

Li Tianlan saw the indifferent gaze in his eyes without a trace of emotion through the cloak.

"Dead ......"

She clutched the wound on her right arm and took a few steps back, and the other two men in the cloak had already stepped forward.

She kicked one of them away, snatched the knife from his hand with her other hand, and slashed at the other.

Click!

The long knife in her hand snapped in response, and a bloody mark appeared again on her left arm.

The hand holding the knife was like a withered pine, and under the cloak was a pair of cloudy eyes, but it was not like the other people in the cloth who did not have any feelings.

Li Tianlan knew that he was not this person's opponent, so he quickly took a few steps back and came to Tang Ning's side, but at the same time, he felt dizzy and his body staggered.

Tang Ning picked up the broken knife she had dropped on the ground, helped her against the wall, stood up, and looked at the clothed man.

He asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?" ”

Through the cloak, he couldn't see the expression of the man in the cloth, but Tang Ning could feel that his gaze was staring at him.

"It's like it......" The next moment, an even more hoarse voice came from the cloak.

Tang Ning paused for a moment before asking, "Like what?" ”

"Like a young lady......" The man in the cloth shook his head and said, "Don't delay time, this time, it should be the last time." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the long knife in his hand was raised.

"Miss Xiaoru is not at home, you can bring the meat back by yourself later." A voice came from behind the man in the cloth, pausing the movement of his hands.

Butcher Zheng stood behind him with one hand, and Nannan helped him hold the umbrella.

The man in the cloth did not hesitate, and slashed over.

Boom!

The knife light up.

Burst.

Blood splattered.

"Hello." Butcher Zheng looked down at the little girl: "Close your eyes." ”

The little girl closed her eyes obediently.

The knife in the man's hand had been broken into two, and the first half flew out, along with one of his arms.

Zheng Butcher was carrying a knife in his hand, a pig-killing knife.

The tip of the knife was still dripping blood.

Tang Ning looked at this scene and was a little stunned. Zheng Butcher's pig-killing knife is often hung on his waist, never leaving his body, and he is skillful in killing pigs and chopping meat, just like cutting off the arm of the clothed man.

Seeing this, the two clothed men who were engaged with the two guards turned their blades around without hesitation, aiming the tip of their knives at their chests.

Poof.

Under the guard's frightened gaze, the two committed suicide with their swords.

Li Tianlan was already unconscious, his face was pale and terrifying, Tang Ning glanced down, his face changed greatly,

Butcher Zheng kicked the severed arm on the ground away and explained, "He's poisoned." ”

"Poisoned?" Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, and immediately reached out and groped in his arms.

Just in case, he always has a big pill on his body.

Although I don't know if Da Huan Dan has the effect of detoxification, this is the only thing he can do at this time.

He pinched her mouth open and sent Da Huan Dan inside.

Her face was horribly pale, and Tang Ning thought about it, tore open the cut clothes on both of her arms, and sucked out the poisonous blood near her wounds.

After a while, Butcher Zheng glanced at him: "He should be fine, now it's your turn to have something." ”

Tang Ning looked down and found that her face had regained some ruddyness, and while he was relieved, he also found that he was a little dizzy, and his eyes began to darken.

Li Tianlan's eyelashes trembled, and the moment he opened his eyes, his face showed extreme vigilance, and he subconsciously picked up the broken knife on the ground.

Butcher Zheng looked at her and said, "It's okay." ”

She looked at the surrounding situation, relieved her mind a little, and then looked at Tang Ning who fell beside her, and exclaimed, "Is he injured?" ”

Butcher Zheng shook his head and said, "He fed you the antidote pill, helped you suck out the poisonous blood, and poisoned yourself." ”

Li Tianlan was stunned in place, and at this moment, she realized that something in her mouth was rapidly dissolving.

After she reacted, she looked down at Tang Ning, and for a moment, a look of extreme hesitation appeared on her face.

But only for a moment.

The next moment, Butcher Zheng's eyes widened.

He inserted the pig-killing knife back into his waist, covered the little girl's eyes, and said, "Don't look." ”
