Chapter Forty-Six: The Teahouse Turmoil
Xingyang, in a teahouse, Mo Shuyan and Zhang Lie were eating refreshments, secretly listening to the topics discussed by the diners around them.
Although the trip to Chang'an was quite urgent, but for safety reasons, Mo Shuyan did not plan to travel day and night, otherwise he would be too tired to deal with emergencies, you know, the path of this trip is almost the same as the path of Dong Zhuo's migration to Chang'an.
Last night, the two came to Xingyang, dressed up in disguise, and then entered the city, stayed in the restaurant for one night, and rested in peace.
Now, rushing to catch up with the daytime journey, Mo Shuyan still plans to fill his stomach first, after all, dry food is always difficult to swallow, how can there be hot tea and pastries delicious, not to mention that you can also hear some useful topics in the teahouse.
"Let me tell you, Dong Zhuo has been in Chang'an recently, it is a troublesome people, most of the people who can escape have fled, if it is not for the final order, those who leave the city will die, and a group of people will be killed, I'm afraid Chang'an will be empty."
"That's not it, I heard that it's all a ......."
"Xu Zisheng."
"Yes, Xu Zisheng, this guy ordered the death of those who left the city."
"It turned out to be him, and I heard that he betrayed the coalition of princes, causing the coalition to fall apart."
"Be cautious and be cautious, don't invite death."
……
The surrounding diners discussed one by one, and in the end, I was afraid that it was because I was afraid of Dong Jun's spies, so I quickly changed the topic.
However, this is enough for Mo Shuyan to understand the current situation of Chang'an City, and I am afraid that no one in Chang'an City will take the initiative to go now, so Mo Shuyan can't help frowning.
If you go directly, I'm afraid it will attract attention, once Xu Zisheng finds out, he will definitely recognize Mo Shuyan, after all, Xu Zisheng already hates Mo Shuyan to the core, and if he finds Mo Shuyan, it will definitely be a lifeless situation.
Zhang Lie obviously thought of this, and also frowned, and quietly asked: "Yan Shumo, now that the situation has changed, Chang'an is afraid that it will be difficult to enter, has the plan changed?" ”
In order to hide his identity, Mo Shuyan had already instructed Zhang Lie to call his name upside down and call him Yan Shumo, and Mo Shuyan called Zhang Lie Ah Lie.
After pondering for a while, Mo Shuyan's eyes flickered and said darkly: "According to the original plan, we will talk about workarounds near Chang'an, and now there is no need to talk about this matter, so as not to have ears on the wall." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Lie nodded, his expression was a little soothed, he stopped talking, and ate the pastries silently, with Mo Shuyan's think tank by his side, Zhang Lie would not be afraid to go to Chang'an.
"Little lady, how about playing with the uncle."
Suddenly, there was a sound behind him, accompanied by a woman's cry of pain.
Out of curiosity, Mo Shuyan turned to look, but found that it was a strong man with an obscene face teasing the two women, and at this time he was grabbing the wrist of a woman in a pink Luo skirt in his hand, so that the woman couldn't help but exhale in pain.
Seeing this, another cyan woman in a skirt wanted to step forward to stop the strong man, but unexpectedly let the strong man grab his wrist.
"Let go of me." The woman in the cyan skirt reprimanded.
Hearing this, the strong man not only did not let go, but stepped forward, took a deep breath of the fragrance of the cyan Luo skirt woman, and said with an evil smile: "Accompany the uncle to the room, and the uncle guarantees that you leave safely." ”
A small number of the diners around showed a look of disgust, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and most of the diners looked like they were watching a good show, looking intently, without the slightest intention of caring about the matter.
Everyone's demeanor fell in Mo Shuyan's eyes, and Mo Shuyan couldn't help frowning slightly, and he couldn't stop sneering in his heart, sure enough, in this troubled world, the one with a big fist is the uncle, and the one who is weak is the original sin.
However, it was obvious that Mo Shuyan would not tolerate this situation, and directly planned to get up to stop the strong man from committing violence.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his body left the stool a few feet, he was grabbed by Zhang Lie and sat back again.
Immediately, Zhang Lie looked at Mo Shuyan with a solemn gaze and said: "This matter must not be managed, if the identities of you and me are exposed, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed, and there are still Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses stationed here." ”
"Do you just watch these two women being humiliated?" Mo Shuyan replied coldly, staring at Zhang Lie coldly, as if it shot straight into Zhang Lie's mind.
Suddenly, Zhang Lie's eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look at Mo Shuyan, although he didn't want to be like this in his heart, but people are always selfish, compared with righteousness, or their own lives are more important, even if Zhang Lie doesn't care about his own life, he can't let Mo Shuyan lose.
Sighing deeply, Zhang Lie lowered his head and persuaded again: "I still hope that Shumo will think twice, and put his own safety first." ”
Hearing this, Mo Shuyan was directly stunned on the spot, and then a deep look of disappointment appeared on his face, chuckled, shook his head at Zhang Lie, and said: "Maybe I killed myself, but I, Mo Shuyan, have never changed my personality, I hope you can not forget your original intention." ”
After finishing speaking, Mo Shuyan got up directly and walked straight towards the strong man, this time Zhang Lie did not stop again, but looked at the back of Mo Shuyan leaving, his heart seemed to be churning, and it was difficult to calm down, so that Zhang Lie couldn't help but wonder, did he really change and lose that blood?
The strong man was still teasing the two women, and was about to pull the two young women away, but suddenly received a punch in the face, and couldn't help but let go of the two women, covered his nose and took a few steps back.
After relieving himself, the strong man looked at it and found that it was a weak scholar who beat him, it seemed that this person was middle-aged, his body was quite thin, and he dared to take care of his own affairs, which was simply a long life.
At this time, Mo Shuyan had a slightly white beard on the corner of his mouth, and he looked quite old.
The strong man stepped forward slowly, kept pinching his fingers, and sneered at Mo Shuyan with a hideous face: "Give you a choice, kneel down, climb to my side, I can spare you from dying." ”
When Mo Shuyan heard this, he smiled indifferently, did not answer, and did not take any action, looking at the strong man quietly, with a somewhat foolish look.
The two frightened women, with fear and anger on their faces, hid behind Mo Shuyan, and seemed to regard Mo Shuyan as a lifesaver.
The strong man waited for a moment, and did not wait for the expected kneeling to beg for mercy, his face was suddenly full of annoyance, and he looked at Mo Shuyan as if he was looking at a dead man.
gave Mo Shuyan a chance to beg for mercy, Mo Shuyan was not sure, how could the strong man give up easily, and with a loud shout, the strong man's fist with anger had already struck.
The fist with the whirring wind went straight to Mo Shuyan's face, but it couldn't be exchanged for the slightest change in Mo Shuyan's expression.
Seeing this, the strong man's anger became even greater, and his strength suddenly increased, as if the scene of blood was about to appear.
There was a "bang", and the strong man's fist stopped in front of the bridge of Mo Shuyan's nose.
