Chapter 16: The Storm of Yuan Xi (1)
When passing by Mao Gui and Wang Qing's table, Lu Xi glanced at the two of them, stopped and asked anxiously, "Have the two fathers-in-law ever seen the daughter of this official?" ”
Mao Gui and Wang Qing hurriedly got up, and Wang Qing said, "Lord Lu, let Aifang go out, and he should be in front of the Cai Building opposite at this moment." ”
Lu Xi raised his eyes to look out the window, and saw his daughter standing in front of the colorful building, looking at the lifelike lanterns stupidly.
Fortunately, the five guards in front of the Cai Lou did not embarrass their daughter! Lu Xi let out a sigh and said to the two: "You two are also palace attendants, why are you so indiscriminate?" Knowing that the little girl went out alone, she should have informed the official as soon as possible!"
How can it be reasonable for one's own children to look down on themselves, but to complain about others! Mao Gui and Wang Qing were dumbfounded.
knew that this was the case, and when he left the palace, he should have changed out of this robe of the inner servant, so that people could not see their identity.
The two were annoyed, and Pang Zhe came over and said angrily: "Why are you two clean? It's clear and cleansed! ”
Mao Gui and Wang Qing only felt that the qi and blood in their bodies were surging, and they almost fainted.
Who are these people? Swearing is so different!
As soon as Pang Zhe left Zhangyuan, Mao Gui muttered dissatisfiedly: "Brother Wang is really calm, you will be fine if you don't say a word when the girl goes out!" ”
Wang Qing said aggrievedly: "You still blame me!" Just now I was about to inform Master Lu, but you stopped me, your eyes were bigger than ・・・・・・, who can stand your intimidation? ”
Mao Gui suddenly realized that Wang Qing's actions were not for the sake of getting close, but for reporting the news. He sighed in regret.
Suddenly, Wang Qing shouted: "Carriage! ”
Mao Gui hurriedly raised his eyes and looked, only to see that the carriage was squeezed to the ground by the surging flow of people, and the things on the carriage were scattered on the street, trampled on by others.
The two of them went crazy and ran straight to the carriage, trying to push away the surging pedestrians, only to be knocked to the ground by the crowd.
Mao Gui was in a hurry, got up and took out a dagger violently, waving it with grinning teeth, and repeatedly shouting the word "dodge" in his mouth.
Pedestrians in the vicinity were frightened and tried desperately to dodge.
The squirming crowd slammed into the streets, and then swept across the street like a raging tide.
A terrible stampede can happen at any time.
Lu Xi watched the crowd across the street about to roll up to his daughter, and couldn't help but look like earth, and blurted out his daughter's name: "Evening ballad!" ”
Even though this call made Lu Xi exert all his strength, he was still ruthlessly drowned in the screams of pedestrians on the street.
Such a young child is so crushed by the crowd! Lu Xi only hated that he had no ability to fly to the sky and the earth, and he could only call in vain.
Lu Xiyu was woken up by the screams all over the street, turned to look at the street, and was suddenly frightened by the scene in front of him.
Suddenly, the bead curtain flickered, and a boy quickly came to Lu Xiyu's side and pulled her into the building.
At this moment, a large number of pedestrians fell in front of the colorful building, and the panicked people desperately ran for the road, and the five guards were already squeezed to the ground.
It is very different from the chaos outside the building, and there is a hole in the color building. I saw that the lights in the room were colorful, the phantom purple flowed gold, and the incense burner overflowed with curling green smoke, which was full of thick bones. Several maids in plain and elegant clothes stood with a serene expression.
Outside the curtain is the noisy dust, inside the curtain is like Penglai Fairy Pavilion, a sparse curtain, as if cutting off the heaven and earth.
Lu Xiyu turned her head to look at the boy beside her, the boy's eyes were like a clear spring, which made her feel as calm as water, and the danger just now seemed to be just a momentary illusion.
"My sister is so good-looking! I seem to have met my sister. ”
The boy's voice was as warm as jade, just like his face.
Lu Xiyu raised her head slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering, as if asking: How have we ever met?
The boy seemed to see through Lu Xiyu's thoughts, and said slowly, "I really saw my sister, it was a long, long time ago. ”
A childish man actually said "a long time ago" as if it were a matter, which caused all the maids to cover their mouths and snicker.
Lu Xiyu believed it, she smiled lightly, and lost the last trace of restraint.
At this time, the bead curtain shook wildly, the shouting sound was loud, and a large group of pedestrians outside the curtain wanted to squeeze into the building. The five guards struggled to get up from the ground and tried their best to dissuade them.
The chaos on the streets intensified.
Suddenly, a dark shadow floated into the building like a ghost. Everyone in the building raised their eyes and saw a tall and strong middle-aged man unbelievably appear in the building.
The man was armed with a sword, his face was like frost, and his eyes were fixed on the boy.
Lu Xiyu timidly retreated to the boy's side, and the boy grabbed her hand.
It so happened that a guard was squeezed into the building by an out-of-control crowd. The guard caught a glimpse of an uninvited guest in the building, and hurried forward.
"Your Excellency ・・・・・・"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the cold light suddenly appeared, and the guard was stabbed in the neck, his eyes widened, and then he fell straight to the ground.
The maids screamed and became a mess.
A bold maid pulled up the boy and Lu Xiyu and ran towards the corridor desperately.
Suddenly, there was a flash of white light, and a short knife was thrown sharply, and the powerful force smashed the wooden door leading to the corridor, and the wooden door was nailed to death by the short knife.
The man was still staring at the boy, a little hesitation in his fierce gaze.
The fear on the boy's face slowly faded, "Your Excellency is an assassin?" Want to kill me? The hand-bladed child is very human, aren't you afraid of killing the wrong person? ”
The man flickered slightly, took out a piece of paper from his bosom, looked at the paper for a while, looked at the boy for a while, and looked at it many times, but there was no sign of stopping.
"Your Excellency has not yet identified anyone, otherwise the dagger would have been thrown at me. Since ancient times, assassins have been heroic, and your Excellency has not disregarded his chivalrous nature, but he just killed a child, and killed the wrong person, once this matter is transmitted to the rivers and lakes, it will make Your Excellency discredited. ”
The man irritated himself with the paper in his arms, and pointed at the boy with a hideous expression.
"It seems that Your Excellency would rather kill by mistake than miss it. Death in vain will be in vain, but I hope that Your Excellency will only kill me alone, and not hurt others. ”
The man's eyes were fierce, and he obviously gave a negative answer.
There is chaos outside, even if you kill the wrong person here and now, as long as you do it cleanly, you can still do it without knowing it. How could a killer leave a living mouth?
The boy said angrily: "You were born so stupid, you can only bully children with brute force, and it is not worth dying in your hands!" I know the Jiuhua faction Liang Daxia, he is as tall and strong as you, but he is very good at light skills, he jumps into the ground, can be several feet off the ground, and a sword in the air is like a white rainbow through the sun, like a goshawk hitting the palace. If you have the skill of him, I will die in vain, but I will die without complaint. ”
The man was annoyed and angry, and suddenly jumped up, and his stout body was like a swallow in the air. Suddenly, his face turned pale, and he saw that the huge glass lamp on the roof of the building was blocking his way, and it was too late to dodge, so he hurriedly used his long sword against the lamp base, unloaded his strength, and flew to the ground.
The color building shook for a while, and then, the huge glass lamp crashed to the ground, and a loud noise overshadowed the noisy voices outside the building.
Four guards opened the curtain and quickly unsheathed their swords and surrounded the Assassin.
The assassin was disdainful of the four guards, but looked at the boy with strange eyes, and even spoke: "Not very old, not small-minded, so witty, you are probably the person I am looking for, hahaha・・・・・・ I have debuted for more than ten years, and I have killed countless people, but today I actually fell in love with your way, at this moment I really can't bear to kill you, I have no choice but to collect money and eliminate disasters for others, it's a pity!" As soon as the words fell, his wrist flipped and he shook out the sword flower, and he was about to kill the four guards.
"Take your life!"
