Chapter 539: Assassination on the way
The group of people saw that An Xiabai and Lu Li could easily take out a thousand taels of gold, and felt that they must be not small and worth a lot of money, so they didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity to make money easily.
"No, no, no, I want to take Miss Yulan away for a thousand taels, I don't think it's appropriate. You must know that Miss Magnolia is now our cash cow, her income this day is hundreds of taels of silver, and you are only a thousand taels of gold, we feel a little lost! The man who claimed to be the partner of the boss of the Magnolia girl stood up to obstruct it.
"And how much do you think is appropriate?" Magnolia's boss turned to look at him and asked.
The boss's partner didn't have time to reply, but An Xiabai said that he had just said that he would release the Yulan girl after giving a thousand taels of gold, why did he feel that the money was not enough now, could it be that he was bullying them to take it from outsiders?
"It's not up to me to decide the exact price, after all, you're the boss. But I remember, just now you told me that if I want to invest in your teahouse, I have to have more than 3,000 taels of gold to agree, why did I give 1,000 taels and let him go, you are really unfair to me! "That person obviously said it to the boss of the Yulan girl, but actually said it to An Xiabai and the others.
"When did you say three thousand taels?" Miss Yulan is a sincere person, she remembers that at least when Anxiabai and his wife came over, they didn't talk about money, why did they suddenly have so much money?
"You girl, you don't know where to fly for a long time, and you can still hear what we say!" The boss of the Magnolia girl was annoyed, thinking that this girl was going to spoil her own business, so she hurriedly spoke.
"The 1,000 taels I just said have now risen to 3,000 taels, do you see how stupid we are?" An Xiabai boasted that she was not a particularly smart person, but she could understand the good show that these people had performed with kung fu!
"What do you say, you want people, I want money, if you can't afford it, we won't give it to people, what a simple truth." The boss said softly, as if threatening, then poured another glass of wine, clinked it with his partner, and drank it again.
"You!" An Xia Bai was really angry, it turned out that there were not only corrupt officials and corrupt officials in this realm, but also such bad people.
"Yulan thanked the two for their kindness, but the three thousand taels of gold is too much, even if the two give it, Yulan may not be blessed, don't be embarrassed by the two." Yulan bit her lower lip with her teeth, her face was full of embarrassment, she really didn't want to embarrass An Xiabai. Although she knew that the couple would definitely be able to take out the three thousand taels of gold, they were too embarrassed to save face.
Just when An Xiabai didn't know what to say, Lu Li suddenly spoke.
"Okay, I'll give you these three thousand taels! However, if you raise the price again or pester the Magnolia girl in the future, then don't blame me for being unkind! Although Lu Li doesn't really want to take care of this matter, but he is helpless, his queen has to take care of it, if this matter can't be solved today, An Xiabai will definitely always remember it in his heart, and he won't be able to live in peace.
"Good!" The boss of the Magnolia girl slapped the table hard, and the happy expression could not be hidden.
"I think this son is also a cheerful person, but I don't know where to get high, what kind of business to do, why don't you make a fortune with us?" The man saw that Lu Li's move was so generous, and he intended to win over. There was a smile on his eyebrows and eyes when he spoke, with seduction.
"This boss laughed, I never do this thing of buying and selling people, please ask the boss to accept the three thousand taels of gold, and we will take the Yulan girl away!" After speaking, Lu Li put the money on the table, told them not to trouble the Yulan girl in the future, and left with them.
However, An Xiabai, who originally wanted to come in to eat, was hungry and her stomach growled. Miss Yulan bluntly said that she knew a restaurant, although it was not big, but the food was very delicious, and An Xiabai was hungry at the moment, so she happily agreed.
"I'm telling you, I often come to this pipe. Although the decoration here is average and the location is not much, the things made are absolutely delicious. Yulan proudly showed off to An Xiabai.
"yes, that's great, I'm going to starve." After An Xiabai finished speaking, Lu Li poked his head with his fingers, stuck out his tongue, and rubbed his face embarrassedly.
"What's next for Miss Magnolia?" As soon as he sat down, Lu Li asked, and Yulan seemed a little caught off guard.
"It happened suddenly, and I haven't figured out a way out yet, but I don't want to sing anymore." Speaking of the word singing, Yulan's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head, which was very different from her previous lively love of laughter.
"Don't sing? Isn't that a pity? An Xiabai didn't notice the change in the mood of the Yulan girl, and asked while putting the peanuts in her mouth, her eyes staring at the plate of peanuts tightly, for fear that it would run away. Seeing her greedy appearance, Lu Li smiled.
"But singing is not a long-term solution, and I am alone, without relatives and no reason, I will always be bullied. If I don't sing, at least no one will dare to belittle me anymore, so I want to make a living again. Although I don't know what to do for the time being, Yulan seems to be really resistant to singing.
"Miss Magnolia, you sing so well, if you give up, I really think it's a pity. Otherwise, ......" Before An Xiabai could speak, Lu Li pinched her, and the latter understood it, so naturally he didn't continue.
"In fact, there is no pity, just do it if you want to, and do it if you want to." Lu Li continued An Xiabai's words, and the Yulan girl did not speak again.
After a while, all the dishes were served, and An Xiabai was simply appetizing when he saw the dishes on the table. Since giving birth to Xiao Ping'an, her appetite has decreased greatly. Maybe I'm too hungry today, otherwise I wouldn't have eaten so much.
"Slow down, don't choke!" Lu Li ate by herself, and at the same time took care of putting vegetables in the white bowl of Anxia, and the magnolia girl who watched it was so envious.
"I remember when I was a child, my father used to bring food to my mother." The Magnolia girl suddenly sighed.
"Then they don't love now?" An Xiabai didn't think about it, so he asked this sentence.
"My father and my mother passed away when I was very young." Speaking of this, Magnolia's voice was a little low, and she sounded very sad.
"I'm sorry, Magnolia, I didn't expect to arouse your sadness. Don't worry, you are so happy, your singing is so good, and you will definitely find a good son-in-law in the future. An Xiabai comforted her, she didn't expect her to have such a lonely background.
After eating, they walked together for a while, and were just about to leave, when suddenly a large number of men in black rushed up.
"Who's coming?" This kind of scene is definitely not the first time Lu Li has seen it, so he is very calm.
"The one who took your dog's life!" The man was dressed in black, his face was covered with a black veil, and a domineering tone came from behind the black veil.
"Do you know who I am?" Lu Li wanted to know if these people were here to seek revenge or to find the wrong person, because it was the first time he had come here and he had never had a hatred with the people here.
"I don't know who you are, and why did I kill you? Less nonsense, take your life! ”
As soon as the words fell, the man ran towards Lu Li with a three-foot big knife, and Lu Li pushed An Xiabai away and started a big battle with them.
In order not to be too ostentatious, An Xiabai let the guards rest in the inn in the morning, and only took two or three entourages out of the house, who would have thought that such a thing would happen!
"Who is this, and why did you come to kill you?" Yulan was tightly held in her arms by An Xiabai, trembling.
"I don't know, it may be seeking revenge, or it may be that I have recognized the wrong person." An Xiabai really didn't know, she thought to herself, if she knew that someone would come to assassinate her, she would definitely bring a guard when she went out in the morning!
Lu Li and the entourage brought out with him fought with them, and after a while, the guards of the inn rushed over after receiving the distress signal.
The emperor's private visit naturally brought out a lot of people, and after a while, almost all the people on the other side died.
But at this moment, the leader of the other party suddenly pointed the big knife at An Xiabai, and the speed at which he rushed over made Lu Li and the guards not notice it at all.
In the next second, a heart-wrenching voice came!
"Magnolia girl, Magnolia girl!" It turned out that just when the assassin's knife was about to bayonet An Xiabai's chest, the Magnolia girl suddenly pushed An Xiabai to the side, and she became the person under the knife.
Subsequently, all the Assassins were arrested and tortured.
"Lu Li, Lu Li, hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to come over to see her, hurry up!"
The blood in the Yulan girl's chest kept gushing out, which made An Xiabai afraid. Yulan was injured to save her, and if something happened to Yulan, An Xiabai would never forgive herself in her life.
"Don't worry, the Imperial Doctor is here, and he will be there soon, don't worry, don't worry!" In addition to comforting, Lu Li didn't know what he could do at this time.
"How can you not be in a hurry, you tell me, why are there assassins here, why?" An Xiabai cried, crying hoarsely, thinking that if she knew that this would happen, it was better to let Yulan continue to sing in the teahouse, and it was better not to save her!
"The Imperial Doctor will be here soon, no matter how anxious you are, it won't help!" Lu Li understood An Xiabai's anxiety and sadness, if he was rescued by others, and the person who saved himself was injured because he saved himself, then he would definitely be anxious and guilty.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" An Xiabai apologized and cried, she was too anxious. She really couldn't understand that this time they came out to Weifu for a private visit was such a private matter, how could someone take advantage of this time to seek revenge?
Lu Li didn't know how to comfort An Xiabai, so he could only accompany her and wait quietly for the arrival of the imperial doctor.
After a while, the imperial doctor arrived and immediately checked the pulse of the Yulan girl.
"Doctor, how's she, how is she?" An Xiabai didn't want to wait for a moment, and every time she waited, she was more afraid.
Magnolia's blood was still flowing out, and the red color scared her, making her afraid.
