Chapter Seventy-Four: Ten Taels of Silver
"Dad, look at this." At a stall selling gadgets on Xizi Street, Wen Shu picked up a wooden whistle with great interest.
Wentai shook his head helplessly: "It's all big girls, and they still like this kind of children's things." ”
"I'll just take a look, and I didn't say I wanted to buy it." Wen Shu muttered and put the thing down.
She was about to take her father elsewhere, but suddenly heard a commotion on the left.
"Stop! Don't run! ”
On the street on the left, a man in a Taoist robe was running towards him quickly, chasing a number of people behind him, a little far away, and his face could not be seen clearly.
Afraid of being bumped into, Wen Shu hurriedly pulled her father back a few steps and retreated behind the stall.
Lu Xi looked at the people running faster and faster in front of him, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do it, Gongzi said, these Taoist priests have hidden secret documents of the imperial court, and the matter is very important, and they must not be allowed to slip away, otherwise the soldiers at the border will suffer.
They guarded at the city gate for nearly an hour, only to see two Taoist priests coming, just about to come forward to arrest, who knew that the Taoist priest was very alert, and did not wait for them to get close to turn around and run, and ran in two places, in a hurry, he and the eldest prince could only separate to chase.
He didn't know the situation on the eldest prince's side, but the one he was chasing was able to run, and he and several guards chased for their lives, but they didn't catch up.
Suddenly! He looked at a familiar figure standing by the stall in front of him, and the shirt on his body was still picked by him personally, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Little lady Wen!" Fast! Stop that Taoist priest! ”
Steward Lu!
As soon as the voice came out, Wen Shu immediately heard it, but the person did not rush out immediately, but stood in place, as if he was hesitating something.
Lu Xi was anxious when he saw it, and immediately added: "The son has a life, catch the thief, and reward ten taels of silver!" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Wen Shu rushed out quickly, but even the submarine fire team that had been standing by and watching before also chased after him, and there were several people with him.
"A-Ning!" Wentai looked at his daughter who rushed over in amazement, and then followed.
Seeing that so many people were involved, the Taoist priest was anxious to tear through a few lanterns hanging on the stall and throw them to the opposite roof.
Winter was already dry, but the weather was sunny for a few days in a row, and as soon as the lantern landed on the roof, the thatch was instantly set on fire.
When the submarine fire team saw it, they immediately stopped and turned around to put out the fire, compared to ten taels of silver, they were derelict in their duties, and the punishment for ignoring the fire was heavier.
The submarine fire team retreated, and now only Wen Shu and three or two prime-aged men were left in front of the Taoist priest.
If it was said that he was originally going for the ten taels of silver, but at the moment when the Taoist priest threw the lantern out, the fire in Wen Shu's heart suddenly appeared!
The fire of the previous year was still vivid, and she immediately ran forward as if she were fierce, grabbing the man's arm.
The Taoist priest knew that someone was chasing behind him, but when he saw that it was a weak little girl, he didn't care much about it, snorted, and continued to run forward while brushing away the middle-aged men chasing from both sides with a dagger.
Who would have thought that at this time, the clothes were dragged from behind!
Then a weak figure turned in front of him and slashed over with a palm! He was stunned and hurriedly swung the dagger in his hand!
Seeing this, Wen Shu quickly leaned back, and at the same time, his waist spun, and his right leg kicked violently at the arm of the Taoist priest holding the knife.
She was already strong, and this kick used all her strength, and the Taoist priest only felt that his elbow was numb, and the dagger was shocked and flew out!
Seeing that the situation was not good, he didn't entangle, and as soon as he twisted his body, he rushed to the dark alley on the right.
At this moment when Ke Wenshu stopped, Lu Xi and those guards behind him had already chased after him, and one of the guards flew up in the air and kicked on the back of the escape road. The Taoist priest fell forward uncontrollably, and before he could struggle to get up, the remaining guards had already rushed up and cut his hands behind his back, pressing him to the ground.
Lu Xi immediately squatted down and rummaged through him.
"A-Ning!" Wen Tai pounced forward and pulled Wen Shu up and down: "It's okay!" You girl, how dare you! ”
God knows how frightened he was when he saw A-Ning rushing out.
Wen Shu responded casually, but his attention was always on Lu Xi, who was searching, and he pondered repeatedly in his heart, this last kick was kicked by Lu Steward's person, so how should this reward be counted?
Is it one and a half? Still is........
Anyway, she can be regarded as a merit in blocking, if it weren't for the block she just had, this Taoist priest would have run away a long time ago, so at least half of it must be given.
While pondering, several people rushed to the street, and the leader was Lu Yuancheng, who was dressed in purple, he came closer, didn't look at Wen Shu, and went straight to the Taoist priest and said, "How is it, have you found anything?" ”
When he asked, Lu Xi happened to touch the Taoist trouser leg, and a scroll-like thing appeared from under the fabric, he was overjoyed, and replied: "Found it!" ”
Lu Yuancheng stepped forward, bent the Taoist priest's leg, pulled the scroll out from under his trouser leg, opened it and saw that it was indeed the defense map of Zhuzhou.
His heart was relieved.
Just now he led someone to chase another Taoist priest, although he quickly caught someone, but he couldn't find anything from him, he knew that this Taoist priest was just a stand-in, a trick to confuse them.
immediately turned back to support Lu Xi.
On the way, he encountered two other waves of pursuers, and when he learned that the two Taoist priests had not found the picture scroll, his heart continued to sink, for fear that the enemy had already sent the picture out of the city before them.
Fortunately, this last person had a picture on him, and he was successfully captured by them.
Lu Yuancheng's heart was slightly relieved, and when he ordered someone to escort the Taoist priest back to the Hou Mansion, he went back to the south of the city and reported the matter to the official family.
Wen Shu saw that they were escorting people away, without mentioning the matter of the silver, he couldn't help but take two steps forward, grabbed Lu Xi and said, "That, Steward Lu, look, the silver you said earlier ........"
Lu Xi remembered this and was about to answer, when Lu Yuancheng in front heard the voice and turned around, looked at Wen Shu and said, "What silver?" Aren't you in the south of the city? Why is it coming again? ”
"Childe, just arrested this Taoist priest, Little Lady Wen has helped a lot." Lu Xi told everything that had just happened, and he also told him about the silver reward that he was talking nonsense about.
Lu Yuancheng didn't blame him after hearing this, but praised him for his quick wit, and then turned to Wen Shu and said: "In this way, it seems that your month's hard work has not been in vain, as for the silver, it is promised in advance, and it will naturally be fulfilled." As he spoke, he directly took out a ten-tael handover from his waist and handed it over.
Seeing him so refreshing, Wen Shu immediately smiled and squinted, stepped forward to take the handover, and said happily: "Lord Xie." ”
Lu Yuancheng took the people away, Wen Shu touched the friend again, and then carefully handed it to Wen Tai on the side, "Dad, here you go, go back and take the Danmu box and put it in it." ”
Wen Tai didn't answer, just stared at her and said, "What do you mean by Lord Lu's words, what does it mean that you haven't learned in vain for a month?" ”
Belch...........
Wen Shu paused, and then cursed secretly in his heart, Lord Lu is too unreliable, why did he tell her that he leaked his mouth.
"That, didn't Lord Lu let me accompany Miss Lu to Cangzhou, for my safety, so I specially found a master to teach me a few tricks, Dad, the trick I just made was neat."
"Neat what!" Speaking of this, Wentai was angry: "For ten taels of silver, you dare to risk your life, you don't think about it, what if something happens to you, what will happen to your father." ”
"That can't be." Wen Shu grinned and held his hand and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'm a person who spares my life very much, and if I didn't know it in my heart, I would never rush out." ”
