Chapter 20: Guarding the Glass Cup (1)

October 20, 20th year of Kangping.

In a courtyard in Tianyun City, which was not too luxurious, dozens of people gathered, all holding swords in their hands, and they were murderous.

"Second brother, the royal family took over the task of guarding the glass cup, and they will act tonight." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked like a scribe, but his face was gloomy and slightly sickly.

"What happened to the brethren and the madman?" The second brother is called a fierce man with only one eye.

"The brothers are ready, but the blade still won't cooperate."

"Humph! When I destroy the royal family, I'll clean him up! ”

At this time, the royal family under the leadership of the head of the regiment Nangong Bai has come to the mansion of Sikong Yang Yi, Yang Yi can do the position of Sikong, it can be seen that his ability is very good, but this person is a little greedy for money and is also very good at accumulating money, so he was targeted by Yan Luocao, who is known as "robbing the rich and helping the poor for the way of heaven". The glass cup that Yan Luocao wants to steal is given to Yang Yi by the first emperor Bai Yang, Yan Luocao always makes an appointment in advance whenever he commits a crime, although there is also a suspicion of selling fame and reputation, but there is no vanity under the fame, since he became famous, Yan Luocao can always steal things before the appointed hour.

This time, the agreed time was midnight, but everyone in the royal family came to Sikong Mansion early.

"A few of them are the heroes of the Royal Mercenary Group, I am Yang Zheng, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion." The person in charge of the reception was an elderly man in his mid-fifties.

Nangong Bai Zuo, who was in the lead, said: "It turned out to be Steward Yang, fortunately, I will take my brothers to come over in advance to inspect the arrangement." ”

Yang Zheng saw that although the few people behind Nangong Bai were carrying swords and swords, they were all teenagers, and even women, but Nangong Bai himself was a white-faced scholar, and he couldn't help but feel a little more contempt in his heart, but his face remained the same, "Everyone, please come with me, hey, who is this?" ”

Yang Zheng was referring to the masked Bai Lang, this time everyone in the royal family poured out, and Yang Yi, who was the commoner, naturally knew Bai Lang, so Bai Lang came in front of him.

"Oh, my brother has a cold, I'm afraid of infecting everyone." Nangong Bai explained.

After Nangong Bai finished speaking, Bai Lang and the others turned their heads away, Nangong Bai also felt that this explanation was a little embarrassing, and he came out to fight and kill when he was sick, should he say that the mercenary group was poor and lacked manpower, or should he say that he was dedicated? !

Yang Zheng didn't say anything, just nodded, and then led everyone to the backyard.

In front of a three-story building in the backyard, Bai Yan saw from a distance that there were many nursing homes standing downstairs and upstairs, one by one holding bright swords, guarding around the small building.

"Master, the mercenary group has arrived." Yang Zheng walked up to Yang Yi and said, at this time, Yang Yi was hurriedly directing his subordinates to ambush around.

"Just a few of them?" Yang Yi was disappointed when he saw everyone, he originally thought that the mercenary group could have more people, it was best to surround his mansion with three layers inside and three layers outside, or send some masters to the big mercenary group like the wolf clan blade, but he didn't expect a few little children to come, and he was suddenly a little dissatisfied in his heart.

"Then, let me tell you, if I can't protect this glass cup today, I won't be happy, and you don't want to be happy, hum!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left in a huff.

As soon as he heard this, Hu Xie, who was already a little hot-tempered, rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and beat him, but Bai Lang, who was masked on the side, was shocked and hurriedly grabbed him, "The task is important, the task is important." ”

Yang Yi left, all the affairs here were handed over to the housekeeper Yang Zheng, Yang Zheng introduced the situation to everyone, the three-story small building in front of him is called Wenxuan Pavilion, but it is a very elegant place, usually a place where Sikong Yang Yi collects books and meets friends. The glass cup was placed on the second floor of Wenxuan Pavilion, and Yang Yi arranged a large number of people on the first floor and the third floor around the small building, and the second floor was reserved for mercenaries to guard.

"Let's go, let's go up and see this legendary glass cup!" Lei Xiao couldn't wait.

"Goo~Goo~"

"Who, who, who's so tasteless, do you have to let the family know that we didn't have dinner before we came?!" Lei Xiao was walking upstairs, and suddenly his stomach screamed among several people.

Hu Xie scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Please go upstairs, the meal will be coming soon." After Yang Zheng finished speaking, he left, Bai Yan and a few people went up to the second floor under the vigilant gaze of the guards of the family, the east and west sides of the second floor are placed books, the north and south are windows, the east is a desk in front of the books, the north and south sides are placed on the guest table, the interior decoration is also elegant and extraordinary, there are many inscriptions on celebrity paintings, and the glass cup that everyone cares about the most is placed on the desk, and the glass cup is placed in a delicate wooden box.

Lei Xiao went over to open the box, and then exclaimed, everyone came around, only to see that the glass cup was transparent, but there were different colors, shining under the reflection of the candle flame, if it was in the daytime sun, it would be a big shine.

"Cut, no matter how beautiful it is, it's also a cup for drinking water." Hu Xie first expressed his feelings, and I don't know if it's because the grapes that can't be eaten are sour, "In our grassland, we all use horn cups, this cup is good-looking, but once it falls, it's gone, how can you drink water?" ”

Bai Yan and Meteor Frost looked at each other and smiled, Bai Lang and Lei Xiao, the two boys, looked at Hu Xie like idiots, is such a cup used to drink water, my brother? This is a baby, wow, it has to be offered as an ancestor, and we can't say that our Sikong adults have to put incense on the pillar before every meal.

"I'll go to the top of the building and have a look." Meteor Frost jumped out after saying a word to Bai Yan, and several people were not worried at all, if Meteor Frost could be knocked down at this height, then it is estimated that the glass cup was really used by Yang Yi to drink water.

After a while, the subordinates of Sikong Mansion brought up the plates of food one by one, which was very rich, but what made Hu Xie and Lei Xiao very unhappy was that there was no wine, and the subordinates explained that the housekeeper had ordered that they should rely on a few people at night, and it was not appropriate to drink, and everyone was also sensible, and the meal was also rich, so they didn't say anything anymore and began to feast.

Nangong Bai looked at the celebrity calligraphy and paintings on the wall, turned around and looked at everyone's eating with contempt, the chopsticks were on the side, but even the Bai brothers grabbed it, Nangong Bai changed from contempt to guilt, it was his own head who did not do a good job Wow, let the brothers worry about their livelihood every day, this is poor and afraid, as soon as they see the food, they desperately stuff it into their mouths. Thinking of this, Nangong Bai's nose was sour, and he felt like he was about to cry.
