Chapter 425: Are You a Rescuer Invited by the Monkey?

Belch......

Duan Peng, who had a kind smile on his face, stiffened when he landed. looked blankly at the little guy in front of him who was less than his waist, a pair of bull's eyes were very pure and innocent.

I? Monkey rescuers?

"Brother, you're talking nonsense!" Hearing her brother say crazy things again, the little girl's little face suddenly turned red and hurriedly stepped forward. Pulled his brother behind his back.

The little boy muttered, looking down at his toes, muttering something he didn't know what to say.

The little girl pursed her lips in annoyance and glared at her brother. Then he turned his head, raised his head, and looked at the behemoth in front of him. The sound as crisp as a silver bell is refreshing.

"Are you Duan Peng?" The little girl smiled sweetly and asked.

Duan Peng nodded blankly.

Hearing that this person was Duan Peng, the little girl immediately cheered. Clapping his little hands, he hurriedly took out the jade pendant from his arms, stuffed it into An Peng's hand, and said happily: "Hehe, my uncle who can build a snowman asked me to hand it over to you!"

With a cold trace in his hand, Duan Peng looked down, and his eyes suddenly widened.

It seems to be a military advisor's pocket card. Hurriedly approached and looked through it, yes, it was.

Could it be that Childe is in danger?

Thinking of this, Duan Peng suddenly felt a chill. After retracting his gaze from the jade pendant, he hurriedly squatted down and asked the little girl eagerly: "That, little doll, where is the uncle who gave you this thing?" ”

The little girl didn't understand why this uncle was in such a hurry, and her big eyes blinked: "He's drinking in the Xinghua Village Tavern in the city!" ”

Xinghua Village?

Isn't Xinghua Village from Shanxi?

When Duan Peng heard this, after thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Templar

He stood up with a bang, turned around, and shouted at the back hall: "Ma San, don't fucking sleep." Wake up the brethren, something's wrong! ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" The door of the back hall was slammed open with a bang, and a bear-like man with a waist circumference of eight feet and a height of eight feet rushed in with cold flying snow.

"Hurry up and take someone to go with Lao Tzu, there is something urgent!" Duan Peng turned around and walked to the counter, grabbed the dogskin hat from the counter, covered his head, and said eagerly.

"Okay!" Ma San nodded hurriedly in response, turned around, ran to the door, and shouted towards the snowy courtyard: "Be quick, hurry up!" ”

Not long after, more than a dozen men wearing sheepskin jackets and carrying steel knives at their waists rushed into the pharmacy from the backyard. These people are burly, their eyes are like electricity, their expressions are awe-inspiring, and they are a group of heroes.

"Alright, come with me!" Duan Peng took the short knife handed over by Ma San, pinned it in the sheepskin jacket, patted it hard, pressed the hat down, pushed the door open and headed towards the snowy outside.

Behind him, more than a dozen sturdy men, silent as ice water, came out.

After Duan Peng took two steps, he suddenly realized something. Turning his head, he looked at the two frightened and cowering children standing at the door, and suddenly realized.

He reached out and patted his head, smiling wryly and shaking his head. He walked over again and glanced at the little girl with a smile. Then he said to Ma San: "Go, go to the counter and take a hundred taels of silver, and pay these two little guys military salaries!" Then, send another brother to send these two little soldiers home! ”

"Yes!"

Ma San nodded hurriedly, and his huge body turned back to the pharmacy with great dexterity. He opened the drawer, grabbed two silver ingots of fifty taels, and then rushed out and stuffed the two big ingots to the little girl.

"No, no, I, I can't have it!" The little girl's family was poor, and when she saw the hundred taels of silver, she was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped back, waving her hand and refusing.

"Little one, be a soldier and obey orders!" Ma San said with a stern face.

"I ......" the little girl looked at the silver ingots in the bear's hand and bit her lip. After thinking of the scene of her mother lying sick in bed at home, she finally nodded and agreed.

Ma San saw that the little girl accepted it, so he smiled. After getting up, he pointed to a soldier and said, "You send these two children back!" ”

"Yes!" The soldier took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

I saw the soldier with two children, walking towards the far part of the snow-covered road. Duan Peng smiled, turned around and said, "Let's go!" ”

A group of people, just getting started. I saw that the brother who had been with the little girl went and returned.

The little one, panting and spewing white mist. Looking at the bear-like Ma San curiously, after looking up and down, he asked crisply, "Are you a black bear spirit?" Are you a rescuer brought in by the monkeys? ”

Ma San: "......"

Hahaha......

Behind him, Duan Peng and more than a dozen others saw Ma San's eyes glazed, his big mouth cracked, and his saliva left behind. , I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The sound is vibrating and full of energy. Echo in the streets with the rustling of snow. The goose feathers and snow that fell one after another seemed to be scattered.

……

The heavy snow fell one after another, like the catkins flying in March, and occasionally the wind blew, and the heavy snow was a little messy.

The cold wind carried snowflakes into the tavern. It was quickly melted by the heat of the tavern. At the door of the tavern, the floor is soaked by melting snowflakes.

In order to prevent customers from slipping, the careful shop also spread a gray linen cloth at the door. It's much easier for guests to get in and out.

Perhaps the reason why most of the taverns in the city are closed, the business of the Xinghua Village tavern here is very good.

In the small tavern, there were five or six tables, all but the one closest to the counter. On the wine table, the chips are staggered, you come and go, and the end is very lively.

Entering the tavern, Lu Heng and the three of them found a corner and sat down.

After a while, a shopkeeper discounted a towel and ran over and asked enthusiastically: "Three guest officers, what do you want to eat?" ”

The article hesitated, turned his head, looked at Lu Heng, and asked what he meant.

"Adults can call the shots!" Lu Heng bowed his hand with a very respectful expression and said to the article. Looking at the stunned expression of the article, Lu Heng smiled and secretly glanced at him.

The article is naturally also a person with a clear heart, and after getting Lu Heng's signal, he no longer behaves. Fingers knocked on the table, shook his head and said, "Since you entered your tavern, you naturally want to drink Fenjiu." First of all, a pound of bamboo leaves, a pound of sauce beef, and then a plate of beans with wine! That's all! ”

The article generously threw a tael of silver to the shopkeeper, waved his hand and let him go down.

"Master Wen often comes here to eat?" After Lu Heng took a sip of tea, he asked with a smile.

The article shook his head and said: "No, although the wine here is good, the price is still a little expensive, and I can't afford it!" ”

Scold......

Hearing this, Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, but then he thought of the article all the way, he always had some candy in his pocket, and when he saw the child, he naturally understood.

"Lord Wen, do you like children very much?" Lu Heng picked up the teacup and blew it, taking a sip. Asked with a smile.

The article's face froze, but then he nodded with a smile: "Well, seeing them is like seeing my child!" ”

The look of pain on the face of the article happened to be in Lu Heng's eyes.

Seeing him with his head down, he said lightly, and in his words, it was difficult to hide the e-business communication in his heart. Lu Heng was slightly stunned, and then remembered that in the dilapidated mansion, he did not see his family members.

At this time, seeing that the article looked painful, Lu Heng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why didn't you see your family, Lord Wen?" ”

It is said that the article is already a feudal official, and his power is large enough. Moreover, after staying in Baoding Mansion for such a long time, the family should accompany him. But in the government, it was deserted and unpopular. Thinking about it here, I am even more curious.

At this time, the shopkeeper had already walked over with a drink.

"A pound of bamboo leaves, a pound of beef, and Fluttershy's cold vegetables. What else do you want to order, officer? Xiao Er put the food on the table, and then asked with a smile.

"You go down first!" The article waved his hand and said lightly.

After the shopkeeper left, the article looked at the blue and white porcelain wine pot on the table with some pain, took a deep breath, took a sip of the tea in the bowl, and said with a long breath: "They are all dead!" ”

Then, picking up the wine jug and began to pour wine into the bowl, the article convulsed, and tried his best to endure the pain in his heart and said: "When crossing the Yellow River, the boat capsized. They all drowned, and my wife, my son, and a daughter are missing! Oh, I guess I'm dead! ”

"Who did it?" When Lu Heng heard this, his face was solemn. Raising his head, he looked at the article with burning eyes, reached out and pressed his wine bowl, and asked in a deep voice.

The reason why Lu Heng asked this question. That's because the officials of the Great Zhou, especially those of the party like Xiang Wenwen, are escorted by soldiers when they go to work. Virtually no danger is possible. Moreover, according to Lu Heng, the season for the article to take up his post was at the turn of spring and summer, when the Yellow River was slow and it was impossible for the boat to capsize. In addition, the escorted ships are officially built, and the quality is absolutely reliable. In this season, on the Yellow River, something like this happens. If there is no **, it is simply impossible.

After hearing Lu Heng ask directly, who did it. The wine bowl in his hand suddenly froze. His face struggled, and he was in great pain.

"Who's it?" Lu Heng asked again, his voice much colder.

The article lowered his head, the muscles on his face twitched for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "An Peng! ”

Raising his head, the article's eyes were bloodshot, and he tried his best to endure his anger and said: "Xia Guan's visits over the years, both openly and secretly, are certain that An Peng did it!" ”

After saying that, after a cruel smile on the article's face for a moment, he pushed away Lu Heng's palm, picked up the wine bowl and was about to drink it all.

At this moment, Agui, who had never said a word on the side, suddenly made a lightning shot and snatched the wine bowl from the article's hand.

After Ah Gui put down the wine bowl, he looked at Lu Heng and the article's puzzled and angry eyes. Bowing his head, he dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote a word on the table.

"Poison"!
