Chapter 17 On the banks of the Lanshui River
Zhao Fu's knife had not yet had time to enter the sheath, but the length of the blade at such a close distance became an obstacle, and the strength of the assassin disguised as a waiter was also extremely great, and Zhao Fu and Xu Lingling immediately fell into a very dangerous situation.
Zhao Fu decisively abandoned the knife, turned the blade into a blade with his palm, and condensed it with "qi", wanting to break the momentum of the assassin's attack. But the Assassin had already gone into a state of madness. He didn't need to reveal his identity at all, but he didn't expect that the person who suddenly jumped out of the Night Wolf Force, not only would he lose his well-paid job in this Moon Worship Building in the future, but if he couldn't complete his goal, not only him, but even his family would be hunted down and wanted by the people on the road.
You forced me! The assassin disguised as a waiter showed a hideous smile, kicked his legs, and took Zhao Fu and the others out with his momentum.
This is the Moon Worship Tower, and everyone thinks that the only way to go up and down is through the only staircase in the building, after all, the productivity of that era did not allow people to understand the concept of "jumping off the building". But whether it is those who are present today, or those who will hear the rumors tomorrow, everyone knows that there is still a way down from the Moon Worship Tower.
Jump!
Zhao Fu didn't expect that he would encounter such a tragic assassination, and the assassin didn't let them go at this time, and in the process of falling, he also waved the small dagger quenched in his hand at Zhao Fu. Zhao Fu knew that he might not die or be disabled if he fell like this, so he made up his mind to send out all the internal qi stored in his body, turned it into a two-meter-long invisible stick, and swept it directly towards the assassin.
"Hold me tight!" It was very difficult to borrow power in the air, Zhao Fu turned over in order to sweep the stick out, he held Xu Lingling in his chest, but he was worried that he was not holding on tightly enough, so he had to hope that Xu Lingling would also hold on to himself. Xu Lingling also responded obediently - her hand grabbed Zhao Fu...... of clothes.
Soon approaching the ground, Zhao Fu first used the invisible stick to offset most of the momentum, and before the stick was about to sink and couldn't stand the force brought by the gravitational acceleration, Zhao Fu backhanded it in another direction. The two fell into the street and rolled several times before stopping, frightening pedestrians who were still parading the street to watch the fireworks.
The fastest to arrive was not the official who maintained law and order, but Lin Hanyu, and Zheng Yuan came slowly, because he was still holding the knife that was dropped by Zhao Fu in his hand.
Lin Hanyu asked with a concerned face, and at the beginning, Zhao Fu was still very patient and replied one by one, "It's nothing", "It's not a big deal", "Thank you, no need", "The leg is fine", "The hand is not broken", "The brain...... You're sick in the head! Zhao Fu stood up directly and kicked Lin Hanyu.
"Put this ...... Take away the sick brain! Zhao Fu took his knife from Zheng Yuan's hand, sheathed it, and then gave the order.
Zheng Yuan didn't say a word, and dragged Lin Hanyu away.
"Hey! Are you so relieved of your master? Lin Hanyu and Zheng Yuan returned to the Moon Worship Building, which can be regarded as doing the aftermath work, of course, this aftermath must be done by Lin Hanyu, Zheng Yuan just sat on the table next to him to eat sauce beef and drink rice wine.
"If the master says it's okay, it's okay." Zheng Yuan's words are few and simple.
"Hey, you guys are really weird, that kid is really, it's okay to fall from such a high place?!" Lin Hanyu was puzzled, although he had felt Zhao Fu's strength, but he didn't expect Zhao Fu to be so powerful.
On the other side, Zheng Yuan's eyes were cold, and he didn't know when his hand fell on the handle of the knife, and it was already in the shape of a knife.
"Good, good! Your family guards the adults, your family guards the adults! Lin Hanyu pushed forward with both hands and smiled.
Zheng Yuan's face softened slightly, and his hand moved back from the handle of the knife to the wine glass.
Of course, Zhao Fu couldn't be okay, he was pushed down from the seventh floor, and it was almost impossible for him to knock that assassin into the air and land himself safely, not to mention that there was a weak-looking girl next to him. Zhao Fu thought that he was not a saint, but he still chose to protect Xu Lingling beside him first for the first time. So Zhao Fu used his body to buffer most of the momentum, which was a feeling of real spinning after the darkness in front of his eyes. Zhao Fu felt that his internal organs were about to be shaken open, which was not a big problem for him before, as long as his internal breath was sufficient, it was not a problem, but now he felt that his body was hollowed out.
The only thing he was glad for was that he could feel the steady breathing of the girl in his arms all the time, and he didn't think he was hurt. But the next moment, Zhao Fu's face changed, and the wound on his waist was miraculously healed! The assassin was not so simple as wanting to push Zhao Fu and the others downstairs, he was very desperate to solve the target by surprise at the beginning, but Zhao Fu blocked the knife first.
Zhao Fu remembered the title of "demon girl" in the crowd before, and his heart was shaken for a moment, could it be that this person is really a demon girl? But soon he vetoed, and all he could feel was an extremely pure energy,
Xu Lingling was not substantially harmed, and had already stood under the tree on the side, hanging a veil and waiting for Zhao Fu to finish dealing with his affairs.
Zhao Fu chased away Lin Hanyu and walked to Xu Lingling, although there were many problems, the scene suddenly became embarrassing.
In fact, both of them met for the first time, and they didn't even know each other's names.
Actually, he could go, in fact, she could go, but she stayed and waited for him, thinking that she could tell him something about herself, and he also came, wanting to know about her.
"That...... What's your name? Zhao Fu finally spoke.
"Xu Lingling." Xu Lingling took off the veil, and then took advantage of the fact that he had not been noticed by the crowd to pick up Zhao Fu and leave here.
"It's a good name." Zhao Fu didn't know much about chatting with girls, so he had to praise the name.
But Xu Lingling was very happy, she was praised for her name less than a day ago, "What about you?" ”
"Zhao Fu."
Both of them were speechless, so they had to walk along the Lanshui River in silence and tacit understanding, listening to the sound of fireworks along the way, but they didn't have the heart to watch.
"Do you want to put the veil on?" Zhao Fu felt that more and more eyes were gathering around him.
"What? Don't like it? Xu Lingling instead leaned in front of Zhao Fu, looked at Zhao Fu sideways, and grinned a delicate smile on the corner of his mouth.
"But it's going to be compelling." Zhao Fu didn't say whether he liked it or not, but just moved the topic away.
"They can watch it if they like." Xu Lingling and Zhao Fu were very close, which was completely different from the original time when she was only willing to grab Zhao Fu's clothes, and now Zhao Fu gave her a very relieved feeling.
She is a holy woman, a child born with the favor of God, and she cannot use the Holy Flame without this deep care. Therefore, the Holy Religion stipulates that saints are not allowed to have contact with unrelated strange men until they are minors, let alone physically with the opposite sex.
If it weren't for the previous situation, Xu Lingling felt kindness and an unknown familiarity from Zhao Fu, then she would probably die on the seventh floor of the Moon Worship Tower, and she would not touch Zhao Fu's clothes.
But when the two of them fell, Xu Lingling clearly felt an aura similar to her use of the Holy Flame, and that aura favored by the gods was even stronger than that on her body, so strong that she was very willing to get close to him.
Zhao Fu clearly felt the change in Xu Lingling's attitude towards himself, and it should be taken for granted that this was a normal performance after being rescued by himself.
The two didn't think about it anywhere else, Zhao Fu thought it was "grace", Xu Lingling thought it was "dependent", but they didn't know that there was a word called "love".
The fireworks are still being set off, and the crowd is still moving slowly and orderly by the Lanshui, although Zhao Fu is not good at talking to the opposite sex, but the ability to make girls happy has been experienced a lot in Qin Zhirou, knowing that food is the favorite of girls, Xu Lingling is also the first time to get rid of the supervision of the church, and the first time he has eaten so many delicious foods, he is also very satisfied.
The bank of the Lanshui River is actually not long, Zhao Fu and Xu Lingling walked from one end to the other, the fireworks were still being released, and the two of them had no intention of stopping, and walked around the other end of Lanshui again. Zhao Fu also saw the prosperity of the imperial capital again: all kinds of food were put in small bamboo boards, bamboo tubes, lotus leaves, or wooden bowls after they were cleaned, and they could be taken away directly as long as they paid. And every other distance there will be huge wooden barrels to act as garbage cans, it is said that this is the founding emperor Lin Fengyi stipulated, but where the assembly and other places of crowd circulation, not only a large number of officials should be arranged, but also a large number of garbage cans.
It is worth mentioning that each container used to hold snacks is made by the royal workshop, and each container will have a stick of wood stick-like something that needs to be broken when discarded, or broken by the official who takes care of the trash can to prevent reuse.
Xu Lingling likes fried tofu sprinkled with minced meat and green onions very much, and every time he passes by, he will buy a plate, and the sweet taro syrup also made Zhao Fu buy several bowls, and he couldn't feed it.
Zhao Fu dutifully did his duty as a man - helping Xu Lingling run errands to buy all kinds of things she wanted to eat or want to taste, and then helped her wipe off the oil stains or food scraps on her face. Occasionally, seeing Xu Lingling's innocent and bright smile, Zhao Fu's mood will also become very good.
In Zhao Fu's opinion, an angelic girl like Xu Lingling should have been taken care of by the best in the world. Although he had just experienced an assassination operation, Xu Lingling acted as if nothing had happened, this kind of thing should be encountered often, right? Xu Lingling's strength made Zhao Fu feel a little distressed.
The Lanshui River is the area with the best scenery in the imperial capital, and the Lanshui River in the Shangyuan Festival is the most beautiful time of the year in the Lanshui River. Zhao Fu's delicate face and luxurious clothes and Xu Lingling's sometimes elegant and holy and sometimes smart and cunning demeanor attracted a large number of passers-by, and the two of them have unconsciously become a scenery on the banks of the Lanshui River.
Finally, when the two of them walked on the second lap, the bell tower began to ring, and the fireworks in the sky became sparse.
There is always a clutch, and no one can accompany anyone for 30,000 games.
