The head of the thief who walked through the hall downstairs didn't have time to take a closer look, and saw a woman walking out with something in her hand. What the princess is holding in her hand must be the seal letter.

Thinking that princess, a petite and weak woman, how dare she really be trapped in this building and burned to death? I was coaxed and scared this time, and it really worked, hahaha.

I saw that the woman was wearing a long skirt, in the night breeze, the skirt was flying, and she looked more and more graceful, walked to Zhou Nan in the railing, held it with both hands, and said to Zhou Nan: "The night wind is cold, please drink a cup of tea to quench your thirst." After speaking, his head lowered more and more, but his hand was raised high and handed to Zhou Nan. When everyone looked carefully, it turned out that what the woman was holding in her hand was a tea cup, which she held carefully, for fear that the tea in the tea cup would be spilled. From a distance, the princess was sincere and respectful, as if she had raised her eyebrows.

Zhou Nan didn't shirk it, took it with both hands, put it to his mouth, first smelled the fragrance of tea, and then gently took a sip along the wall of the tea cup, took it into his mouth, and then swallowed it slowly, and praised: "Good tea!" He took two more sips and said, "There is also a chestnut fragrance in the tea fragrance, could it be produced by Xinyang?" ”

Yu Liyan was greatly surprised, ordinary people would not like this kind of light and tasteless leaf tea at all, let alone where it was produced. In the firelight, seeing Zhou Nan looking at him with a pair of starry eyes, Yu Liyan nodded hurriedly, watched Zhou Nan finish drinking, and then took back the teacup.

I thought it was the princess who was scared, but she came out to send a letter to herself, but she was sending tea to the kid upstairs, and what kind of "night wind and cold," it was really infuriating! But the kid upstairs still said "chestnut fragrance" - against my people, at my sharp arrows, and also tasted tea! This is simply not taking Lao Tzu in his eyes!

The leader of the thieves shouted angrily below, "Shoot me an arrow!" ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, running from far and near, and the torches they were holding made the treetops of the courtyard brighter.

A thief came to his senses and said, "It's officers and soldiers!" ”

Hu Dugu was guarding the princess's mansion, drinking wine from the pot. This wine is the kind of ordinary wine, it has no taste at all, it is like water, and it is far less powerful than the wine sold in Hongyan Restaurant. But at this time, he didn't dare to drink, the second half of his life was rich and rich tonight, and he couldn't make a mistake.

The men he sent out had been staring outside the Hongyan Restaurant for a day and a night, and they were still staring. The people who were watching during the day spread the news that the princess had been in the restaurant all along, and in the evening, they also said that all the people who were doing chores in the restaurant had been dismissed. I knew that I would go to her tonight, but it was okay, but this province alarmed people and spread rumors. Gerry had already told him that the mountain people sent to keep an eye on him had also left Yanjing and never returned. The person who came back just now said that Pu Da had entered the Hongyan Restaurant with twenty warriors.

It seems that he is getting closer and closer to his goal, and his business is about to be done.

"Your Excellency!" With a shout, a man dressed as a servant trotted in and hurriedly said to Hu Dugu who was seated: "My lord, according to the report of the person who came back from the restaurant, there are torches lit in the restaurant, which has attracted two teams of soldiers patrolling the city, about a hundred or so people, who are heading towards the restaurant. ”

"This idiot!" Hu Dugu slapped the table fiercely, "Don't let the officers and soldiers know that the princess is there." You go, let Gerry take the people, go behind the officers and soldiers, shoot and wound a few, and lead the officers and soldiers away, so that no one can find out. ”

"Yes, sir!" The messenger turned around and ran out again.

Hu Dugu stood up, walked to the door, and said to a well-dressed guard outside the door: "Except for guarding the princess's mansion, all the guards, follow me to find the princess!" Hu Dugu didn't dare to say that he was going to save the princess, but vaguely said that he was looking for the princess, but he was afraid that when he arrived at the restaurant, the situation would change, and he would change his plan in time.

Soon a team of well-dressed guards rushed to the open space outside the lobby of the princess's mansion with swords, guns and arrows, and all the guards on duty, who were not patrolling the princess's mansion now, were all gathered here, about fifty or sixty people. Hu Dugu was also neat, holding a knife, came to the guards, and said loudly: "According to the report of my subordinates, I found traces of the princess in the west of the city, and in order to prevent the princess from being plotted by others, you can go with me as soon as possible to find the princess!" ”

"Yes, Chief!" A group of guards shouted.

The more than 100 soldiers patrolling the city who surrounded the Hongyan Restaurant, under the leadership of the team, lit torches, and saw that the main entrance and the back of the restaurant were tightly closed and could not be pushed open. The team was shouting the door open. A group of soldiers were shouting for the door, and several arrows were fired from behind, and the two soldiers in the back row were hit by arrows in their backs and fell to the ground.

"There are accomplices!" Someone among the soldiers shouted. The other soldiers fired back in the direction of the arrows, and two figures flashed out from the entrance of the alley opposite the door, and shot another soldier on this side. The soldier was about to shoot an arrow at the two men when another arrow came from behind him, striking one of the soldiers in the leg.

As soon as the group saw that there were people on both sides, they pointed to one of the soldiers and said, "Take these twenty people over, don't let one of them run, go quickly!" Then he pointed to another person and said, "You take twenty people to chase after that side, and if you encounter it, you will be killed first!" ”

The two men immediately took twenty soldiers each and ran in the direction from which the two archers came.

The team pointed behind them and said, "Smash it away!" ”

Two soldiers with axes came next to them, and slashed hard at the two wooden doors, only to hear a "click", the wooden door was split with two holes, and then a few times, the wooden door has been split and broken, the door latch has been broken, the group of soldiers pushed the door into the front yard, just entered, and found two people lying on the ground. A soldier with a torch came over and took a picture, it was two men with blades in their hands, one was holding an iron clip between his ankles, the iron teeth on the clip were deeply pierced into the flesh, and the pierced part was already black and purple, obviously poisonous. Another man was hit by a crossbow bolt in the chest, and the bolt went deep into the chest, leaving only an iron tail.

In front of them lay three or four men, their blades scattered on the ground, but none of them died, only wounded. A thick wooden pillar hung in mid-air, tied with a rope, and still floating slightly in the air.

"Here!"

"Throw away your weapons!"

The soldiers in front found a few thieves hiding in the hall, and the soldiers had more torches than the thieves had thrown in the backyard just now, and the courtyard was brighter upstairs and downstairs.

The team also came over at this time, pointed at these thieves with the tip of the knife in his hand, and asked, "Are you the anti-thief Yelu Yujian's subordinates?" At the foot of the imperial city, dare to break into people's houses at night and kill innocents indiscriminately? ”

Zhou Nan was in his heart: This officer and soldier are well-informed, and he also guessed that this group of people was sent by Yelu Yujian, how could this group of officers and soldiers know?

Seeing that these people didn't speak, of course they acquiesced, and the team shouted excitedly: "Arrest me!" ”
