Chapter Ninety-Eight: An Assassin at Night
At this time, Qiu Xiang, the general of Longwei, hurried up from behind, patted Luda's shoulder and said, "Brother, what are you thinking, is this matter too sudden." ”
Luda nodded honestly and said, "Yes, General Qiu, how can I feel like a dream." ”
Qiu Xiang laughed and said: "It's not strange, it's not strange, brother, don't you know, if you want to become this Huwei general, you not only have to walk in the shadow of the sword and sword at the border for more than ten years, but you also have to have a strong backer. ”
Luda said: "Yes, the position of this Huwei general is really difficult to sit on." ”
Qiu Xiang said: "Isn't it, this is a good fight, it is better to fight skillfully." If it weren't for that Yelu Yong Mountain, we would have been blind in the capital, and there would have been no such a good opportunity for you to meet. Speaking of this, Qiu Xiang paused slightly, and then stretched out his thumb and said: "But brother, I really admire your brother's martial arts, three strokes and five divisions of two beat that wild donkey and ran away without a trace." ”
Luda said modestly: "General Qiu has won the award, the capital is a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and there are capable people, but they just disdain to come out." ”
Qiu Xiang shook his head and said: "Brother, you can't say that, there are any capable people in the capital now, just Zhou Tong, the chief instructor of the Tianzi number of the Imperial Boxing Gym, and let the old man run away angrily." However, the apprentice taught by Zhou Dong is not bad, it is Lin Chong, the leopard head who went to the ring in front of you, seeing that Yelu Yongshan was about to fall on Lin Chong's eight-point steel snake spear, but let that kid come to a reversal, and I don't know why Lin Chong's stab missed. ”
Luda said: "There are times when Maxima occasionally misses the front hoof, not to mention that there are many unpredictable factors in the ring at any time. ”
Qiu Xiang nodded again and again: "It makes sense, it makes sense, it makes sense to analyze." Brother, you're going there. ”
Luda pointed to the Yu Hou clothes on his body and said, "I have to go back to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion on a mission." There must be a beginning and an end to life. ”
Qiu Xiang said: "Admire, admire, brother, the more you say, the more I admire Qiu Xiang." ”
Luda said: "What did I have to admire at that time, this is all your General Qiu's love for me." ”
Qiu Xiang laughed straightforwardly and said, "Haha, brother, do you think that I seem to easily admire the master of others." All right. Don't say more, can you give my brother a face tonight. ”
Luda said: "I don't know what General Qiu has to pay. ”
Qiu Xiang said: "What is the payment there, I want to invite my brother to drink." ”
Luda saw that Qiu Xiang was also a straightforward man, a general with a big grin, and said: "That is, the general is so kind, how dare Luda deny it, okay, go there tonight." ”
Qiu Xiang said: "I invite you to Fanlou tonight, and we will meet at the main gate of Fanlou when the lantern is in hand." See you or leave you. ”
Palm light time. Ruda came to Fan Tower.
Qiu Xiang also arrived, and he also brought a young strong man, and Luda recognized this as the person who was defeated by the black barbarians that day, but because of the distance, Luda did not hear him sign his name.
Qiu Xiang pointed to the young strong man and introduced to Luda: "This surname is Han Ming Cunbao, and he is my little brother in the elder brother. ”
Luda and Han Cunbao hugged each other's fists and gave a greeting salute, and the three of them walked towards the jumping building of Fan Lou.
Qiu Xiang thought that Luda had never been here, and as he walked, he pointed and said, "This Fan Tower is the general name of the five conjoined buildings, the three buildings on the east, north and south. It is a place for entertainment and recreation for ordinary wealth, and the middle building is a place for the ministers of the court to come and have fun. Tonight, the three of us will drink wine in the Zuifang Hall in the middle building and listen to the pipa performance. ”
Han Cunbao said: "Okay, junior brother is thanking General Qiu for his hospitality." ”
Luda said: "General Qiu, you just said that the four floors in the Fan Building, why didn't you mention the West Building, isn't the West Building also for entertaining guests." ”
Qiu Xiang said: "Of course, it is also for entertaining guests." How can it be called a restaurant if you don't entertain guests, but the West Building is not a place where ordinary people like you and me can go. ”
Luda said in surprise: "Why, even your dignified commander of the Wupin Horse Army is not qualified to go." ”
Qiu Xiang said: "I'm a commander of the five-rank horse army, even if I am a big official, I won't be entertained in the West Building." Even if he was entertained, he didn't dare to go up. ”
Luda said: "That is a place dedicated to entertaining the adults of the court. ”
Qiu Xiang shook his head and said, "Yipin doesn't have that identity in people,"
Ruda said: "Then who else is qualified." ”
Qiu Xiang stretched out his thumb and shook it, "Only the only one is eligible." ”
Ruda was still puzzled: "Who is the only person?" ”
Han Cunbao next to him said: "Brother Lu, you don't have to guess there, let me tell you." ”
Luda said: "Then tell me who is the only person who is qualified." ”
Han Cunbao said with a smile: "The only person who is qualified to climb this building is the current Son of Heaven, long live us!" ”
Yes! Ruda's eyes widened in surprise. He couldn't believe that he Ruda had also enjoyed the treatment of a son of heaven last night.
What surprised him even more was how Master Li had so much energy and was able to pull himself up to the West Building without any hindrance.
Don't......
Ruda didn't want to think about it, sighed and shook his head.
Han Cunbao looked at Lu Da puzzled and said, "Brother Lu, what are you sighing for." ”
Ruda said: "I just think it's incredible. ”
Qiu Xiang said: "What's incredible about this, the world is the world of the Zhao family, not to mention a small restaurant, the emperor can come and go if he wants." Let's go, don't think so much, let's drink. ”
Han Cunbao pulled Lu Da and said, "Let's go, Brother Lu, what do you want to do so much, it's a waste of brains." ”
They knew that of course Luda was not thinking about the emperor's business, but thinking about how Master Li could be so familiar with the West Building.
In fact, Master Li has indeed been here a few times, but that is with her Li Yun's mother, although Li Yun asked Master Li to call her mother, in fact, Li Yun is not very old, that is, in her early thirties, belongs to the kind of young woman who still has charm, and is the kind of young woman with all kinds of charms, because she is good at maintaining her beauty and does not lose to the girl, compared to the girl who has just opened her love, there is a charming mature taste, so she was included in the eyes of Huizong, who loves her mother again, and from time to time she took Li Yun from the East and West Workshop to the West Building to be happy.
In order to speed up the cultivation and ulterior purpose of Master Li, Li Yun had to bring Master Li every time he came, first, to let Master Li drink and have fun with Emperor Huizong with Shengxiao singing and dancing, and second, to increase the experience of Master Li in some Fengyue places.
The people in the Fan Building thought that Master Li and Li Yun were serving the same king, who dared to stop it, not to mention that the emperor would put a fire on it when he was angry, and who could stand it if he burned Lutai.
Therefore, when Master Li brought Luda here, the people of Fan Lou did not dare to stop him.
But Luda didn't know what to do, thinking that Master Li had already had such a leg with Huizong.
Luda understood, and understood how the costume he wore from the commander of the Liupinyu Infantry Army was on his body.
Because of his preoccupations, Ruda was drunk,
Ruda, it's been a long time since I've been drunk,
It can be said that he has not been drunk since he came all the way from Western Xia.
The drunken Luda refused Qiu Xiang and Han Cunbao's kindness to send him home, and he staggered along the street to his residence alone.
The rickety Ruda knew that someone was already following him.
Trailing behind Ruda was a man of medium stature, light and thin, dressed in tights, with murderous eyes in his eyes. It's a killer.
Ruda still walked in a daze, taking a step forward and walking half a step back.
After walking through the wide street, I turned around and walked towards the Suzaku Gate,
At this time, Ruda walked into an alley, the alley was very narrow, narrow enough to allow two people to pass by, at this time Ruda heard the sound of footsteps behind him, although Ruda was drunk, he still stuck himself against the wall, and turned sideways to get out of the way to let the pedestrians behind pass.
Just when this person was about to get close to Ruda's side, Luda suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and it was clear that there was a murderous aura attacking him.
Ruda instinctively took a step forward with his left leg, and a shiny sharp knife was stuck against his right rib against the wall, cutting a long cut in Ruda's clothes. The cold wind of the night suddenly blew into his chest, and Luda shivered, and then the killer's second knife stabbed again, and Luda stretched out his big hand like iron tongs, grabbed the wrist of the killer's hand with the knife, and twisted it hard to hear the killer: "Oops! With a cry of pain, he let go of his hand and fell to the ground. Ruda said: "Say, who are you and why did you come to assassinate me." ”
The killer pretended to be pitiful and said, "The strong man spares his life, I recognized the wrong person." ”
Luda said: "What, you recognize the wrong person, really?" ”
The killer said, "Yes, uncle, I really recognized the wrong person." Taking advantage of Luda's slight chance, he raised his left hand and threw a bag of lime to Luda's eyes, and when Luda hurriedly reached out to block it, the kid jumped on the spot, and his feet "rubbed" on the roof of the alley, turned over and jumped, and disappeared.
Ruda stomped his foot angrily and said, "Okay, you rabbit cub, I have to pick your skin when I let grandpa catch me." ”
Ruda covered his eyes and ran back to his residence, hurriedly brought a basin of cold water, rinsed off the lime on his eyes, and looked in the mirror, his eyes were choked red by lime.
"Who is this, why did you come to assassinate me, did you really recognize the wrong person? I have only been in the capital for half a year, and the post office has not offended anyone. Ruda sat in his chair and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of the reason.
Ruda didn't know that this killer was sent by Tong Fei.
In fact, when he first appeared on the stage to compete in martial arts, Tong Fei felt that this Yu Hou named Luda was familiar with the command.
I didn't figure out who it was for a while, and I always felt that this person had met there.
Just when Luda split the handle of the knife in Yelu Yongshan's hand, he let out a thunderous roar of "killing", it was this killing that shocked Tong Fei's heart, he patted his head and said: "I remembered, I remembered, I didn't think it was him." (To be continued.) )
