Chapter 20: Murderous Machines (20/2)
On the wharf of Baqiao, a painting boat from Luoyang slowly docked, and after the painting boat was completely stopped, several boatmen were busy putting the sampan on the wharf, and then, Ji Ning'er and Jiang Chao stepped on the sampan and walked to the wharf.
From Lingnan to Luoyang, after arriving in Luoyang, before he had time to wait for the prince's manpower, Jiang Chao took Ji Ning'er and rushed to Chang'an.
Jiang Chao was actually depressed to death in his heart, and he said that girls were outgoing, but there was nothing wrong with this, he couldn't figure it out, what was good about that kid except for the immortal disciple and his mastery of Gewu and arithmetic.
Ji Ning'er is the little princess of the hidden door, but in the end, she was inexplicably fascinated by that kid, and the more she came to Chang'an along the way, the more noisy she became.
"You should be satisfied, right?" On the dock, looking at Chang'an City, which was like a giant beast squatting on the Guanzhong Plain, Jiang Chao's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and said with a sleepy face.
"What do you mean to be satisfied!" When Ji Ning'er heard Jiang Chao's words, she immediately pursed her lips dissatisfied, tugged at Jiang Chao's sleeve and said, "Brother, do you think that kid would have guessed that the two of us would arrive in Chang'an so soon?" β
Jiang Chao suddenly covered his forehead, looking in pain, this girl is really hopeless!
Because, because of the opening of the Shandong Trade Road, on the Baqiao Wharf today, people come and go, a prosperous scene, Ji Ninger and Jiang Chao, through the bustling crowd, went straight to Chang'an City in the distance.
Although Jiang Chao was depressed, he actually wanted to enter Chang'an City as soon as possible, if not for anything else, because of the soft collapse of Zhao Chen's mansion, he came back from the Wa Kingdom, and rushed to Chang'an without stopping, which had already made him tired enough.
At this time, it is the time of afternoon. On the streets of Chang'an, people and cars come and go, and the sun is already a little scorching. Along the ditches on both sides of each street, rows of willows are planted, and the shadows of the trees are clothed, and there will always be three or three mash stalls. Under the shadow of the willows.
Stalls are not allowed on Chang'an Avenue, and the martial marquis will emerge from all over the place anytime and anywhere, and if they are caught, they will be reprimanded, and if they are unlucky, they will almost not even have a stall.
However, this is not the case with the mash stall, there is a total of a trolley with a bucket of mash and a few coarse porcelain black bowls on it. Most of the people who can come to the mash stall to drink a bowl of mash are people with no status.
So, when the guest came, he put a bowl of mash in the black bowl, and the guest took the mash, hid under the shadow of the tree, drank it and paid for it and left, it's as simple as that. The martial marquis then turned a blind eye.
Hua Niang's mash stall is placed on the street leaning against Xinghuafang. Because, because of the East Market, this street is always crowded with pedestrians.
Hua Niang's mash is good, and the mash made is sweet and sour, in hot and dry weather. Drink a bowl of flower girl's mash, how refreshing the taste is.
Most of the Wuhou will also take a detour to Hua Niang's stall, and when they are happy, they will throw a few children to Hua Niang, and if they are not happy, they will drink and leave. The flower girl also sent it with a smile.
If nothing else, just because of the existence of these martial marquis, those scoundrels who are sloppy are always afraid of the flower girl's stall. The rules of this world are like this, one drink and one peck, sometimes what seems to be lost, may be regained somewhere.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and several Wuhou swayed their bodies, holding a water and fire stick in their arms, scolding and scolding in their mouths, and walked straight to Hua Niang's stall.
Hua Niang's mash stall, today's business, it seems that it is not good, when the Wuhou arrived, there was only an old man wearing a huge hat, leaning under a willow, holding a bowl of mash, drinking slowly.
"Brothers, one bowl per person!" When the Wuhou arrived at Hua Niang's stall, one of the thin and tall Wu Hou threw the water and fire stick to the ground and immediately shouted at Hua Niang.
When Hua Niang heard this, she happily agreed, and immediately opened it, lifted a piece of handkerchief under the bucket, took out a few black bowls, and put the mash on them neatly, and served them to several Wuhou in person.
"This hell weather, it's really going to be hot!" The Wuhou took the mash of the flower girl, scolded in their mouths, dragged the water and fire sticks in their hands, and walked under the shadow of the tree.
It was probably the place where the old man with the hat was sitting, and it was the largest tree, and a Wuhou suddenly went up, kicked the old man with the hat, and scolded in his mouth: "Do you have eyesight, don't you see the master coming?" β
"Get out of here, get out of the way!" Wu Hou took the mash and kicked the old man with the hat a few times impatiently, and waited until the old man stood up, then his butt turned and he sat in the position of the old man with the hat.
The flower girl over there watched this scene, watching the old man with a hat limp to his feet, his lips moved, but he just sighed and didn't say anything. However, he pointed to a small tree on the side, which meant that the old man could sit there.
"Still a cripple!" Wu Hou, who had just kicked the old man with the hat to the side, saw the old man limping, and suddenly felt a little disappointed, and yelled at the flower girl: "The master got some reward money today, and this mash will be all counted on the master's head later!" β
A bowl of mash also costs a penny, for ordinary people, it is also very luxurious, Wu Hou's words fell, he thought that the old man would be grateful, but the old man looked at the other side as if he didn't hear his words.
Following the old man's gaze, he saw a few strong men standing at random under a tree not far from there. It seems that the situation is still a foreigner, and I don't know what I came to Chang'an to do, and I have a few long burdens around me.
"Grandma's!" When Wu Hou saw those outsiders, he somehow suddenly burst out of his heart with a burst of fire, and in the coaxing of several companions, he cursed and walked towards the outsiders.
On the opposite side of Xinghua Fang, Lu Chengqing just came out of the workshop, here is a house of the Lu family in Chang'an, and Lu Chengqing has lived in this workshop for the past year.
A year ago, Lu Chengqing fought with the old eunuch in Qinling, and as a result, the old eunuch was slashed in the chest by him, and he was almost abolished by the old eunuch.
After recuperating for a full year, the injuries on Lu Chengqing's body have long been healed, but the martial arts have completely fallen, and the swordsmanship of ten percent in the past cannot be played fifty percent now.
The most annoying thing is that he wanted to kill the person in the first place. The person who was scolded by him as a traitor to the hidden door kept saying that he had really become a person of the hidden door, and the entire hidden door was under his control.
Every time Lu Chengqing thought of this, he was sad and indignant, he dreamed of entering the hidden door since he was a child. I have worked hard since I was a child, but in the end, I didn't even touch the edge of the hidden door.
Moreover, because of joining the Hidden Gate, his third uncle was also given up by the Hidden Gate, and he drank heavily all day long, all of which made Lu Chengqing. I hate Zhao Chen from the bottom of my heart.
Coming out of the workshop, Lu Chengqing went straight to Xinghuafang, this is what he must do every day, as long as he can see Zhao Chen every day and see Zhao Chen alive very well, it will arouse greater resentment in his heart, so he will work harder!
At the same time. Xue Wanche also came out of Xinghuafang, and tomorrow he will go to Shuofang. Whether it was Lantian or Shuofang's matter last year, he had a reason to come and resign to Zhao Chen.
It will take about half a year to go to Shuofang, but it's a pity. It has been two hours since he came to the Zhao Mansion, and Zhao Chen has not come back from the palace yet, Xue Wanche saw that it was not early, so he simply didn't wait and came out of the Zhao Mansion. Prepare to go back to Xue Mansion directly.
However, just as he walked out of Xue's mansion, he saw Zhao Chen's carriage from a distance, turning from Suzaku Street and heading straight for Xinghuafang.
At this time, the sun was spreading on this street, and in the afternoon, there were few pedestrians on the street, only a few outsiders, an old man with a mash hat, and a few Wuhou and a mash stall.
Xue Wanche saw Zhao Chen's carriage appear, and the people who were going to go back had to stop again, looking at the carriage slowly driving into the street, and then, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Brother, it's Muqiu's carriage!" Ji Ning'er, who had just passed through the city gate, came all the way to Xinghuafang, and just turned into the street of Xinghuafang, and saw Mu Qiu driving a carriage from the opposite street from a distance, Ji Ning'er suddenly said happily.
It's just that when these words fell, Ji Ning'er's eyes suddenly seemed to see something terrible, and her dreams widened, and her eyes showed a frightened look.
"Don't come here!" Jiang Chao beside him obviously noticed it, and a color appeared in his eyes, and in an instant, like a cheetah, he 'swooped' out from Ji Ning'er's side, and rushed straight towards Zhao Chen's carriage.
Wu Hou left the shadow of the tree, scolding in his mouth, and before he approached the outsiders, he had already scolded in a rough voice: "What are you guys doing, do you have a guide on you?" β
When Wuhou said this, several outsiders picked up the long baggage around them at the same time, and when a foreigner opened one end of the baggage, Wuhou, who was close at hand, was stunned when he saw a piece of forest exposed in the baggage.
At this moment, the street changed dramatically, Jiang Chao had a cold face, his eyes were murderous, like a cheetah, he rushed suddenly, and a sharp roar came out of his mouth at the same time: "Be careful!" β
'Boom! Xue Wanche gritted his teeth, kicked over the door, forcibly pulled out a log on the door, and rushed to the outsiders.
The hat of the old man flew out of his head at once, and together with the mash in his hand that had not been drunk, he flew towards the outsiders, and the fluttering hat was whistling in the air at this moment, with a fierce murderous aura.
Hua Niang held a bowl of mash that had just been filled, and looked at the scene that suddenly happened in front of her in surprise, obviously not reacting to what was going on.
Like Hua Niang, who hadn't reacted yet, there were also those Wuhou, one by one, who still maintained their previous appearance, looking at the scene in front of them in a daze.
A short spear came out of the hand of a stranger, whining like a poisonous snake that had suddenly burst out of a hole, whirling in the air, and flying diagonally towards the carriage.
"Kill!"
"You dare!"
"Fuck you!"
"Ahh
"Boom!"
"......" (To be continued......)
