Chapter 22: Assassination on the Street
"Are you blackmailing? It's just a box of rouge, and you don't want to make money consistently? "Luzhu is not a daughter who doesn't know anything, before entering the palace, she has been outside for many years and has a deep understanding of the prices outside. It's just because she likes the peach blossom fragrance very much, so she asked the price, but she didn't expect the boss to slaughter her as a fat sheep!
The boss also saw that the clothes she was wearing were worth a lot of money, and she looked like a lady who had not left the house, how could she know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were geometric, and she deliberately raised a high price!
"Childe, let's go, don't buy it!"
Soon after the Jin Dynasty unified the world, the people were not very rich, and the people traded with cloth as currency, and there were very few places to use money, but it was not that the money was worthless, at that time, a bucket of rice was only a few dozen dollars, a bucket of twelve catties, enough for a family of three for several days, this small box of rouge is hundreds of buckets of rice?
When the boss saw that he couldn't scare people, he immediately panicked, and accused again and again, "This young lady, don't you say it, can it be cheaper, can we still negotiate the price?" ”
Luzhu's eyes rolled, "Okay, how much do you say this costs, if the price you said is still as outrageous as just now, Miss Ben won't say a word, and leave immediately!" ”
The boss had a bitter face, and calculated in his heart for a long time, these two people looked like they were rich, she really didn't want to let go, but the other party was obviously a knowledgeable person, and the other party would definitely leave if he talked too much!
"Then, then five hundred dollars!" The middle-aged woman's face was painful, as if she had cut a large piece of meat! Seeing that she had dropped by half in a blink of an eye, Luzhu knew that there was still a cat in it.
"One hundred wen!"
"Oh, my aunt, don't you want my life? You can go to inquire wherever you want, who doesn't know that my Zhao family's rouge is the best, the price is the most affordable, and the price you give is too low! "The boss screamed all day after day, as if he had been wronged!
"That's three hundred! I really won't buy any more! Luzhu was also frightened by the boss's performance, and hurriedly gave a price she thought was appropriate.
The boss took a pile of money from Midorizu, handed her the box of rouge, and then gave her two pink lip papers.
"Thank you, Miss, I will give you two more peach blossom-scented lip papers, and take care of business next time!"
Green Zhu happily took the rouge box she had just bought, and smiled widely, she smiled not to buy good things, but to bargain for fun, Sima Shu looked at her helplessly, this green bead is more and more like a child!
Sima Shu saw the scene just now, he felt that even if the rouge of 300 wen was still expensive, but if he didn't say it, Luzhu didn't know, wouldn't everyone be happy!
This small lot has been halfway through, the left and right are selling some small things, Luzhu seems to have let go, pulling him to look left and right, tie paper people and paper horses, sell small bamboo objects, and sell sugar fried corn, and the shouts of those bosses are also one after another, very charming, and Luzhu has to go to see what stall she sees!
"Sugar-fried corn, fragrant and sweet sugar-fried corn!"
Smelling the sweet smell of millet seeds, Luzhu immediately squeezed in front of the group of people, and the people around saw her wearing gorgeous clothes, and gave way, this business of selling corn seeds is very good, and there was a big circle of people around, Sima Shu saw that she squeezed in, and glanced at the two guards behind her, and the two people also squeezed over there.
On the opposite side of this sugar fried corn is a wonton seller, the pot is steaming hot, the umami of mutton soup is wafting with the wind, the boss has set up four small tables, there are a few people sitting on the table in twos and threes, some people are eating, some people are buried in their heads and not moving, there are still a few black cloth packages on the table, the package is in a long shape, and I don't know what it contains!
Sima Shu ordered the two to go to Luzhu's side, just for fear that she would suffer a loss in a crowded place, Sima Shu looked around, didn't care, and followed himself, he wanted to see how the sugar fried corn sold inside was different from the modern one, and the remaining guards followed him.
On the side of the wonton seller, there was a man in his forties sitting at the third table, full of beards, he glanced at a few people around him, everyone nodded silently, reached out and slowly pulled out some long knives of different forms from the black cloth bag!
"Kill!"
There was a thunderclap on the ground, the bearded man picked up the guy in his hand, and rushed towards Sima Shu and the three people four or five meters away, the long knife held high flickered in the sun, but in just one breath, the person had already killed Sima Shu's side, the bearded man led by him was excited, stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked his dry lips, with a hideous smile on his face, cold and bloodthirsty, and his fanatical face was full of madness!
The rest of the people also shouted in unison, followed by the bearded man, and on the long street, there was chaos immediately!
It's close! It's close! As long as you kill that boy in a fancy costume, you will never have to do this bloody thing in the future, and your brothers will follow to enjoy the happiness! In this electric light, the bearded man is still deserting and thinking about other things!
The leader of the guards who followed Sima Shu closely heard the shouts from behind, his whole body tightened, and his hair stood up suddenly, someone assassinated His Highness? didn't have time to think about it, stretched out his hand and pushed forward, pushing Sima Shu so much that he staggered and hit the person in front, and the person in front of him screamed a few times, and the leader of the guard snorted, and the knife slashed his right shoulder, staining his green clothes with blood!
When the other guards saw that the leader was injured and the prince was assassinated, they were furious, and not only did they not retreat, but they roared loudly, swinging their swords and heading straight at the sword light that was getting closer and closer to them.
"Ding"
Hearing only the sound of a weapon clash, the leader of the big man flickered for a moment, and then swung a knife at the guard's arm, he also saw that this majestic man was a master, and he had to deal with him before he could kill the target!
Hearing a big chaos behind him, the sound of chaotic footsteps coming straight behind him, especially in the swing of the big knife, the light that crossed the air was reflected in the corner of his eyes, Sima Shu reacted: Someone wants to kill himself!
The thought was still in my mind, and my body involuntarily threw myself forward. He knocked down the two people in front of him.
There was a circle of people in front of the stall selling sugar and fried corn, but at this time, they also reacted, crying and shouting to their mothers, and they only thought of one thing in their hearts, that is, to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, and run as far as they wanted. In an instant, only the green beads and Sima Shu who got up from the ground were left on the scene.
There were people coming and going on the street, and the shouts of selling things rang out one after another, and when they saw that something was wrong here, the vendors who sold things shook for a while, and they all screamed and dispersed like frightened birds and beasts, no one thought that there were people with knives on the streets of Luoyang City, Luoyang has not seen such a bold person for many years!
Sima Shu was startled, and immediately reacted, this is really someone who wants to assassinate himself! Sure enough, it is worthy of being trained by the most elite troops in China, and the more it reaches this critical moment, the calmer it is. And Sima Shu seemed to have been looking forward to this scene for a long time, and seeing that there was no one in front of him, he stretched out his hand and pulled the green bead behind him.
At the same time, the other hand was holding a pistol that never left his body, which had already been loaded with bullets, and here Sima Shu was ready, and the guards there were doing their best to prevent the assassins from approaching the prince. Especially the leading big man, who is very brave and good at fighting, so that the guards have almost no power to fight back.
Sima Shu looked at the precarious situation, and he knew that the more it dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for them. The five guards desperately resisted a dozen assassins, and at the same time there was a master on the other side, no matter how you look at it, it is not a situation that can be won. At this time, Sima Shu did not care about the danger of exposing the pistol, raised the homemade pistol in his hand, and shot the leader of the assassins in the back.
Since there was no rifling and the bullet was spherical, in order to increase the hit rate, Sima Shu had to aim at the back with the largest area. Fortunately, God forbid, Sima Shu's shot was not very serious due to its relatively close distance, and it hit the assassin leader directly in the back.
The Assassin Leader, who had the upper hand, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, and touched it with one free hand, only to feel a slimy liquid in one hand. It was then that the Assassin leader realized that he had been attacked by a 'hidden weapon' and was seriously injured.
The others didn't figure out what was happening, and they just heard a loud "bang" and saw the Assassin leader's clothes stained with blood on his back. Seeing that their leader was inexplicably injured, the morale of the Assassins plummeted, and the guards added strength as if out of thin air, and immediately turned the situation around.
The leader of the assassins was in a hurry, and he didn't bother to check his own injuries, so he rose up and forced the guards in front of him to retreat, and then went straight to Sima Shu. The guards were shocked when they saw this, but they were all entangled by the other assassins, and they had no spare strength to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so they could only watch the Assassin leader go straight to Sima Shu.
Lu Zhu, who was hiding behind Sima Shu, was already frightened, but when she saw the assassin coming towards her and the prince, she somehow plucked up the courage to block the prince in front of her, and then cried and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, run away!" Let...... Let the slave stand in his way! ”
Sima Shu looked at the resolute green beads with a little crying and laughing, he was ready to shoot, but he didn't expect the green beads to jump out and disrupt his plan.
However, he was very pleased that Luzhu was able to step up at a critical moment. Before he could comfort Lu Zhu, Sima Shu pointed the pistol hidden in his sleeve at the Assassin leader again.
Although the leader of the assassins didn't know what kind of secret weapon Sima Shu was holding, after trying just now, he knew that this secret weapon was very powerful, but he was more confident in his martial arts. Looking at the leader of the assassins who didn't know how to dodge like **, the corners of Sima Shu's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile.
There was another loud bang, and now everyone could see it very clearly, and they saw a flash of fire in the prince's hand, and then a puff of black smoke came out, and then the assassin leader was stunned, and his whole body fell like a mountain.
