After everyone pushed it out, Zhu Houzhao held the teacup, seemed to be observing the pattern of the teacup, and asked very normally, "Do you know about the incident in Shandong this time?" ”

Qiu Batian was silent for a while before replying, "Yes." But my young lady didn't participate. Zhu Houwei sneered: "Then why can we still catch your people?" Qiu Batian's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and his face was angry, but he immediately regained his composure, and said softly, "Some housework, let the distinguished guests smile." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and didn't say anything. Qiu Batian's meaning is obvious, his young lady should be the nominal upper-class figure of the White Lotus Sect, but as a woman, she can't firmly control this sect, and sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Qiu Batian looked at Zhu Houzhao, sighed, and said, "Your Excellency also knows that our White Lotus Sect has existed since the Song Dynasty. To this day, it has not always been disobedient to the imperial court. My young lady bought this property mainly to help the poor, build bridges and pave roads, and do some good deeds, and she had no other ideas. ”

Zhu Houwei said flatly: "Shopkeeper Qiu means that your young lady intends to cooperate with us?" Shopkeeper Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of cooperation, it will be lifted, my young lady is looking for a big tree to enjoy the shade, after all, she just wants to live in peace and stability, but unfortunately this wealth is easy to attract attention to when it is exposed, so you must guard against it." ”

Zhu Houzhao put down the teacup, looked at Qiu Batian, and said, "I won't talk about the previous dynasty, but if you want to start contact now, both sides must have some sincerity, right?" ”

Shopkeeper Qiu smiled, and the scar on his face also moved, and he didn't have a good image at all when he laughed, and it was more vicious than having a straight face, "Yesterday, the official army won a big victory, and killing Wuwei Jiao Luo Xing on the spot can be described as cutting off one of his arms." But there is still Luo Menghong's big apprentice in the Laoshan area, and now if he hears the news, he will probably make a mess. Within three days, we will send him to his hiding place, and once he is captured, then Shandong's Wuwei Sect will not be able to become a climate. As for Luo Menghong himself and his two sons are still in Shanxi, we can't reach it. ”

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and nodded, "Wait for you for three days." Shopkeeper Qiu bowed and said, "In that case, I won't bother much." A few people eat slowly. The two Zhu Houwei brothers nodded and did not speak.

Qiu Batian stood up and walked out, and the various dishes from outside were brought in. The three of them didn't care about scruples and went straight to eat. If you want to do something first, you can do it when you come to eat the first few times, and you don't have to wait until now.

After eating, everyone went downstairs to prepare for the return to the camp. Ma Sanniang, who had just come out of the gate where food was the first, and Zhu Houzhao's brothers, who were walking side by side, suddenly felt a burst of dazzling, but she reacted quickly, did not cover it with her hands, but turned her head slightly, and then Yu Guang found that the reflected sunlight came from the second floor of a teahouse opposite.

On the street-facing side of the second floor of the teahouse, there was no brick wall, but only a wooden fence like the one in the pavilion, and several men were sitting at a table drinking tea, and on the bench was a blue cloth wrap, and the arrows of the crossbow arrows that had accidentally exposed the wrap were the main culprits in reflecting the sunlight.

Ma Sanniang said in her mouth, "I was so careless, I forgot my waist knife upstairs, can you wait for me for a while?" ”

The two Zhu Houzhao brothers knew that something was wrong as soon as they heard it, because Ma Sanniang's waist knife never left her body, although she used a katana when she went into battle, but this waist knife was always carried, and it was more obvious that her waist knife was hanging on the side of her waist, where would she forget to say it.

However, Zhu Houzhao and the two reacted quickly, and said at the same time, "Go together." With that, a few people turned around and walked towards the food first store, and the soldiers who followed immediately made way for the three of them to pass.

Fortunately, it was only a few steps out of the store, and it was very convenient to go back. Just when Ma Sanniang stepped into the gate at the end, she heard someone on the street behind her shouting, "Do it." Zhu Houzhao immediately shouted, "Retreat." ”

There were two muffled snorts from behind, and the soldiers of the land and water battalion who had not yet run back to the store had been hit by arrows. The crossbow arrows are shot very accurately, they all hit the heart and the vital point, coupled with the close distance and sufficient strength, it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive. There was also an arrow aimed at Ma Sanniang, but Ma Sanniang was highly martial arts, and as soon as she dodged sideways, the arrow hit the door panel where food was first, making a "doo" sound, and the arrow was inserted into the door panel for more than ten centimeters, and only half of it was exposed.

Some pedestrians on the street drew their weapons and rushed towards Food First. Zhu Houzhao shouted, "Close the door quickly and use the table against it." ”

Food First is closed today, so the outside door panel is not down, but only half of the door is opened, about two meters wide. It's still more convenient for the defending side.

There was a mess on the street, and suddenly I saw such a group of people cutting people with weapons, and they also used bows and crossbows forbidden by the imperial court, which was not a trivial matter. Therefore, no one dared to look at the excitement, and they all ran to other places so as not to harm the fish pond. In a panic, a lot of small stalls on the street were knocked down, but the stall owners didn't care, because they were also running away.

There were about forty Assassins rushing into the streets, all armed with a variety of weapons. What's even more disgusting is that the second floor of the teahouse opposite is facing the food-first gate, and from there, as long as the door is not closed, it will be suppressed.

With a backhand swing, Ma Sanniang rushed to the front assassin with a flying knife and fell, providing time for the soldiers of the amphibious battalion to close the door. At this time, a group of people on the second floor opposite had already taken out the contents of the baggage, and if Zhu Houwei looked at it again, he would find that they were holding three Zhuge crossbows in their hands, which Zhu Houwei had "invented" at the beginning.

Fortunately, the gate was closed, and as soon as it was closed, I heard a continuous "do-do-do" sound and then saw more than 20 crossbow arrows inserted in the gate more than ten centimeters thick, why are you so sure? Because the arrows have come through.

No way, the width of this street is less than ten meters, and at this distance, the power of crossbow arrows is very great. "Bang" and a few loud bangs, which should be the sound of kicking the door. Fortunately, the door panel is thick enough, but it trembles slightly, and there is nothing wrong, and there is a table behind the door, so there should be nothing wrong.

It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao didn't see the situation outside, otherwise they would definitely say, "It's so ruthless, even the wood is used." "The bumper wood is actually a big log, and it doesn't look like it has any offensive power, but several people carried it together and crashed into the gate, and the gate was immediately deformed.

Ma Sanniang shouted, "The gate won't last long, hurry up and go upstairs." "At this time, it is a good choice to go upstairs, the second floor of the food first is higher than the teahouse opposite, and there is a wall to block it, as long as you hold the stairs, it will be safe, and you can't hit the wall on the second floor, right?

A group of people immediately ran to the stairs, and at this time, Qiu Batian, who had run to the front hall from behind, came over with four or five men with big knives. The big knife in Qiu Batian's hand is about one and a half meters long, about 20 centimeters wide, and there are many rings on the back of the knife, which is quite domineering. At this time, Qiu Batian ran over, and Qiu Batian shouted, "The door is about to open, you go upstairs, and I will take it here." In a word, the vigilance of the land and water battalion against him was greatly reduced. Thinking about it, if you really want to kill the Zhu Houzhao brothers, you can poison the food, why send assassins to assassinate them in front of your own store? If something is broken, who will pay, and will you be able to do business after you die?
