Chapter 300: The Action Begins
Peng Yuanzheng has never been rich, even if he later became a general, his frugal temperament still did not change much. Therefore, the general's mansion where he lives may be the most shabby of all the Tang generals.
The General's Mansion is located in the south of the city. The morgue is not peaceful, but it is lively enough. The alleys are criss-crossed, and most of them are peddlers and pawns who do small business, and the place where fish and dragons are mixed, there is a little more Jianghu atmosphere.
It coincides with the Lunar Calendar, and the early morning is too ordinary to be lively, and the stalls of vegetable sellers, meat sellers, and clothes sellers occupy their stalls early, making the already small alleys even more crowded. With such a lively market, it is perfect for hiding tracks. Many fugitives who committed crimes in the capital did not dare to leave the city for a while, and most of them would wander in the mortuary, waiting until the limelight had passed to try to find a place to live.
"Emerald pear, sweet and juicy emerald pear!"
"Fresh peaches are sold cheaply! No sweet, no money! ”
Diagonally opposite the General's Mansion, several fruit farmers selling fresh fruits spread out. Perhaps because of competition, several hostile vendors shouted loudly at the top of their voices, as if whoever had the louder voice would have a better business.
In the crowd, only two people were the exception.
A peaches stall is intertwined with many vendors, and it looks unremarkable at all. It's just that the fruits on the stalls are all big and plump, rich in variety, only this one, there are only three baskets of peaches, and they are small and green. Not to mention the customers, even the vendors next to them looked at it with contempt.
There was a man and a woman in the stall, both dressed in coarse linen clothes, and they looked like countrymen who were busy getting up early in the morning. However, in stark contrast to the ordinary countryman who is anxious to sell his goods, these two men seem to have no interest in buying and selling, as if it does not matter whether they can sell these baskets of rotten peaches or not.
The man wore a hat, as if he had used the dirty and cool bluestone floor as the home's earthen kang, and sat lazily cross-legged on the ground, holding a dog's tail in his mouth, without even the slightest intention of selling.
The woman stood straight, also wearing a hat, and her face could not be seen clearly. Although he was wearing tattered, he had a tall posture, a slender waist, and two white calves were exposed under the pulled up trouser legs, and the slender and straight legs did not know how many ill-intentioned eyes he had provoked. Several men around him swallowed their saliva, and they didn't know what it was like to be wrapped around their waists with such a pair of legs.
Climbing up the slender calves, the towering twin peaks show a proud arc, like the largest peach on the stall next to it. The man who sold peaches secretly looked at his huge chest from time to time, holding his own peaches in his hands, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The woman didn't even look at a few baskets of shabby fruits, and of course she didn't notice the malicious eyes around her, but stared at the gate of the General's Mansion, more like she was waiting for someone than a business.
A pockmarked face that had been staring at the woman's legs and chest next to him finally couldn't bear the loneliness, and said with a smile: "Little lady, you can't sell this basket of fruit trees even if the sun sets." Why don't you sandwich it in my brother's peaches and sell it to you by the way? ”
The woman didn't pay any attention to it, as if she hadn't heard.
Mazi was closed-minded, and said with a lewd smile indifferently: "We are all suffering for the sake of mixing up the food haha, you don't have to thank me." If it is sold, as long as the little lady accompanies your brother to drink two pots of wine at night, what do you think? ”
The lazy man beside the woman propped up his hat and said with a smile: "Big brother, isn't it inappropriate for you to tease my lady in front of me?" ”
"You poor grandson, let your mother-in-law suffer with you early in the morning, and you still have the face to say that you are the leader!" Mazi said disdainfully, and then turned his head to put on a smiling face: "It's better to follow my brother and me, we don't dare to say anything else, at least you don't have to get up early to suffer this crime." Little lady, what do you think? “
"Noise!"
The woman said suddenly, and glared at the pockmarked face. Just showed his face for a moment, which immediately made Mazi's face stunned.
Damn, this chick is so pretty, isn't she? The curved willow eyebrows, the watery peach blossom eyes, and the rosy little lips like cherries... Mazi's face has grown so big, and I have never seen such a beautiful woman.
But before he had time to taste what the unhappiness on the face of the stunning chick meant, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. The beautiful and inhuman chick's white and tender little fist seems to be soft and weak, but when it really falls on her stomach, it is like a hammer.
"Wow!"
Mazi screamed in the face, and immediately fell to the ground holding his stomach, and the painful appearance made a group of men who had a bad idea about this chick silent, and returned their attention to their stalls.
"A toad like you dares to beat Miss Ben's idea, it's really impatient!" The woman clapped her hands and no longer looked at the pockmarked face that had fallen to the ground and twitched, like a proud peacock.
"Miss, don't be so rude." The man biting the dog's tail grass laughed.
No one could have imagined that the daughter of the richest man in the capital would disguise herself as such a look, and from a distance, she was no different from the mud legs running the rivers and lakes. The man next to him didn't need to say much, it was naturally Tang An.
Cheng Caixi's eyes were full of anger, and she said, "You just said... Who is your wife? “
Tang An's face changed, knowing that this chick was going crazy again, and said, "This is not what I said, it was said by the door master." “
Cheng Caixi snorted coldly, thinking about yesterday's situation, he felt angry.
With her jealous and hateful nature, the most rewarding thing is to arrest the criminals, so she was full of joy when she heard the master of the door say that she wanted to rescue Peng Yuanzheng's son from the four ghosts of the Western Regions. But when he heard that Tang An was also going to participate in this rescue operation, that joy disappeared in an instant.
Tang An hasn't been a catcher for a day, and he doesn't know martial arts, how can he help?
Not only that, the death of the night crying ghost Gule is inseparable from him, and the four ghosts will definitely not let Tang An go. How could he be involved in such a dangerous thing? I heard that those four people are all strong martial artists, what should I do if I can't protect him by then?
Cheng Caixi was anxious, and even raised objections. But the words of the Flying Gate Master made her completely dead.
This is the Emperor's mandate.
The emperor personally made arrangements, how could she resist as a little catcher from the Flying Heavenly Gate? If you want to save his life, you can only do what you can. So when the door owner arranged the division of labor, she insisted on being in a group with Tang An.
I have to admit that this guy doesn't look out of tune, but the whimsy in his head is endless. This time, the rescue plan was entirely from his handiwork. For example, disguised as a fruit farmer, secretly staring at the general's every move. Not only that, this time the Flying Gate poured out of the nest, and its people were almost all over every corner of the capital, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, roadside hawkers, inn runners, passers-by shopping, fishermen on the river... Traces of the Flying Gate can be seen everywhere.
The fact that the four ghosts of the Western Regions had bloodied six families of Flying Heaven Disciples had aroused the anger of all the Flying Heaven Sect people. If you don't cut off the heads of the four ghosts, the Flying Gate will not be able to gain a foothold in the future.
Even though it was so properly arranged, Cheng Caixi was still beating the drum in his heart. glanced at Tang An with some annoyance, I don't know why this guy has such a wide heart, and he is not nervous at all, he is really annoyed.
"Whatever the master says, you will listen to? And the master of the door told you to die? Cheng Caixi gritted his teeth and said, "If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will kill you!" “
"Miss, don't be angry, just kidding." Cheng Caixi said with a smile, pointing to a group of fruit farmers around him who were watching the excitement, "Look around, everyone is looking at us." To do a dark pile, you must be low-key, if the four ghosts of the Western Regions are nearby, wouldn't you be able to see at a glance that we have a problem? “
Cheng Caixi thought about it and made sense, so he glared at a group of gloating guys: "Look at what!" Take one more look at the old lady and gouge out your eyes! “
Seeing that the little pepper was so spicy, everyone retracted their gaze stupidly and began to take care of their own business again.
Cheng Caixi was unhappy, so she took out a peach from the basket, wiped it with a handkerchief, and said, "Is your method smart?" Why haven't you even seen a ghost until now? ”
Tang An Chengzhu said in his chest: "Miss, don't worry, the four ghosts of the Western Regions are not fools, since they have captured General Peng's son, they must have a plan." But this is the hinterland of Datang, every step is like walking on thin ice, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of losing your life. If it were you, would you be cautious and cautious? “
"Yes." Cheng Caixi said, suddenly feeling that he was being taken away by this guy, and said unconvinced: "According to what you say, will they come?" ”
"Then what do they want General Peng to do to steal the Tiger Talisman?" Tang An said, "Since they want the Tiger Talisman, they will inevitably come, but they may not come in person." ”
Cheng Caixi asked, "What does this mean?" “
"Miss, think about it, General Peng has only one son, and he has always cherished it. The four ghosts saw this and wanted to use the method of kidnapping to make General Peng surrender. But they don't dare to make a conclusion about the importance of love for their son and patriotism. So doing this kind of thing with their heads pinned to their belts, they will never put all their chips on General Peng's son. Tang An analyzed, "In my opinion, they will take a tentative approach. To put it simply, it is to lure the snake out of the hole, let General Peng follow the route they designated, and follow the route they designated, and secretly observe whether there are any people from the imperial court to follow along the way. “
Cheng Caixi thought about it carefully and felt that Tang An's words might be the most feasible way. I couldn't help but say, "How did you come up with all this?" ”
Tang An said: "It's all played like this on TV. ”
"TV?"
"Oh, it's a kind of drama in our hometown."
"Don't bring things from the countryside to the capital, it will make people laugh." Cheng Caixi rolled her eyes, and suddenly saw a four or five-year-old child running to the door of the General's Mansion, reaching out and knocking on the door.
Cheng Caixi's face was solemn and said, "Tang An, there is a situation!" ”
