Chapter Twenty-Four: Sharpening the Blade
"Okay!" Madame Hong replied quietly, and Feng Gongzi immediately pushed me away ecstatically, and diligently poured a glass of wine and served: "Contemptible people first salute the girl!" Madame Hong didn't look at each other, she just stretched out her arm like a swimming snake, and Bai Yuxian pressed her hand on Feng Gongzi's wrist, I saw with my own eyes that she had a golden thing between her fingers, and I pinched a cold sweat for that Feng Gongzi.
"Ahh And the arm he was holding the wine glass just now was being held by Madame Red with a cyan silk thread, which was difficult to stretch, and his whole body was centered on this arm, shaking into a ball, as if there were thousands of centipedes eating him.
No, I looked at it, and it was not the silk thread in Madame Hong's hand that was holding it, but ...... The tendons in Feng Gongzi's arms, when I saw this clearly, my stomach began to churn: I have never heard that people in the martial arts will break other people's tendons and tendons when they abolish people's martial arts, but the method of pulling out people's entire tendons and veins like this is really terrifying. Not only horrible, but also disgusting. The glimmer of affection I had for Madame Red was gone, replaced by an incomparable sense of fear.
"Dai Zhen, I heard that if Jin Wuyue shoots quickly, he can pull out the tendons and veins without blood at the moment, try it today, and it is true." Madame Red opened her fingers, and sure enough, there was a golden object that resembled a fishhook, but her expression was indifferent and arrogant.
"That's thanks to Madame's quick move!" Dai Zhen also smiled and complimented Madame Hong, completely ignoring the person next to him who was about to die and had not committed any major mistakes.
They were just discussing the results of an experiment.
"Good, what a poisonous woman!" Feng Gongzi gritted his teeth and scolded.
"You still dare to scold!" Dai Zhen raised his leg and kicked him hard, kicking Feng Gongzi downstairs, but Madame Hong did not let go of his tendons, so the final result was that the tendons were torn off, not picked off by sharp weapons, but stretched to the limit like rubber bands and broken. I heard the slight snapping sound, and if my stomach was still churning just now, I couldn't help but want to vomit now.
Feng Gongzi rolled to the floor downstairs, struggled for a long time but couldn't stand up, thinking that it was in extreme pain, and finally spread his hands, and his whole body fell flat like this, and he stopped moving after a few slight twitches. At this time, the other unworldly customers in the store thought that there was a fatality, and they all screamed and fled.
"Ah Xue, you're messing around again!" A man in black went against everyone's direction, but walked in from the outside, but he had to face a fickle and ruthless woman like Madame Hong.
"I can do whatever I like, it's not your turn." Madame Red turned her head, still with that inviolable demeanor, but there was some rare childishness in her words.
The man in black stopped talking, and went upstairs and sat down opposite the Red Lady.
I was stunned when he took off his hat and showed his face, I swear I have never seen such a handsome man in my life: bronzed skin, three-dimensional and delicate contours of the face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, radiant expression, interpreting all the masculine beauty of men, and this cold and glamorous red lady is also very right, but judging from the current position of the two, there is a sense of tension.
"I can't control you, I'm afraid that no one in this world can control you anymore." The man in black poured himself a glass of wine nonchalantly, and the flask and glass were intended for Madame Hong, and I couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for himβit was like breaking ground on Tai Sui's head!
Strangely, the Red Lady did not have a seizure this time.
"It's just a very playful and innocent child, so let's teach me a lesson, why ......" "If you dare to make me angry, I'll let you taste my newly developed 'Blue Birch Bird'." Madame Red completely lost the grace of sitting upright, and even interrupted the man in black with a very rude attitude.
The man in black paused, and he was a little breathless: "Speaking of fire, I should be even more angry, the two unrecognizable corpses in the courtyard of the Customs Pavilion are Xing Yi and Zhu Chengfeng?" β
"I killed them."
"Prostitutes only for them?"
"That's right."
"The two of them are important brothers who have made countless contributions to my Tanyun Hall, and they killed the killer just because they were indulgent in virtue, this is ...... It's too miserable and inhumane. The man in black's chest rose and fell violently.
"Those who have achieved great things should not be informal, not to mention that now that big things are coming, not only do they not lead by example, practice diligently, but look for flowers and willows, loose discipline, I do this just to set an example and rectify discipline." The Red Lady is also quite justifiable.
"You ......" The handsome man was so angry that he couldn't say a word anymore, and looked at Madame Red's beautiful face for a long time, and finally smashed the wine glass on the table with one palm, probably he didn't understand why such a beautiful woman had such a vicious heart.
I looked at the two of them who would break out at any time, my legs trembled involuntarily, thinking that if the two of them really fought later, I would undoubtedly be the first innocent victim, and hurriedly thought of an excuse: "The little one will take another pair of cups!" Then he scurried downstairs in a puff of smoke.
I deliberately poured a large basin of water on the ground so that I could keep mopping the floor downstairs, and the boss was also frightened at this time, squatting under the counter alone and chanting "Amitabha", naturally I didn't have time to order me to serve his big customers, so to speak, I was relatively safe for the time being.
"You mop the floor, do you want me to help you?" Decker grinned and called me from behind, so scared that I almost ran away. I put my index finger to my mouth and motioned for her to whisper, and she simply crouched down beside me and asked, "What's wrong?" I said, "Your wife is going to start with someone, and you are not 'accompanied' by the side, what are you running down for?" Is your friendship of master and servant so hypocritical? "Dowry? β¦β¦ Oh, the 'companion'! She held her chin and reacted for a moment before laughing: "I didn't expect you to be so funny." β
"Or?" I couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "Could it be that you knew me before?" β
"How so? How could I know you, a stupid and poor shopkeeper! She laughed unnaturally.
I didn't pay attention to it anymore, looked at the two people who were still silently looking at each other upstairs, and felt that the war was about to break out, so I said to Dai Zhen urgently: "That man in black seems to be very powerful, why don't you go up and help, look at the kick you kicked Feng Gongzi just now is quite solid!" Seeing that she hadn't yet acted, I said, "Do you want to abandon your master and run away alone, this is the work of a despicable villain." β
Dai Zhen looked at me stunned for a while, and then burst into laughter: "Are you really still ...... No, you're so pedantic, they're husband and wifeβ"
This time I was stunned, and I cautiously peeked at the two of them again: in terms of posture and appearance, they are definitely a pair of heavenly couples, but when it comes to the words and attitudes between them, there is a bit of a taste of enemies when they meet. Still in disbelief, I muttered, "Even if it's a husband and wife, it's a couple with a very bad relationship!" β
Dai Zhen looked upstairs with some distraction: "Maybe it's because you love each other too much that the relationship is very bad?!" I didn't understand at all: "How can this happen?" β
Dai Scar looked at me blankly, revealing the same lonely expression as Madame Hong, and tears seemed to be flashing in her eyes, which made me feel an inexplicable sense of heartache.
But hearing the sound of broken porcelain coming from upstairs, the man in black finally angrily lifted the table full of wine and food to the ground, brushed his sleeves and walked away.
Madame Red did not stop him, nor did she lose her temper, nor did she cry, but only hummed softly from her nose, and then twisted her head proudly and stubbornly "out of the window".
I saw that the war had been lifted, so I came forward with another plate of wine and food, and Madame Red was still looking out the window, not paying attention to my arrival at all, I followed her gaze, and saw the silhouette of the man in black walking alone in the red plum frost and snow, slender and straight, dignified and proud. It turned out that Madame Hong chose this position just to have a better look at his figure, but why did she love him so much that she couldn't bear to let go of his walking figure, but she refused to express her deep affection and sincerity to him as it was, and wanted to speak so coldly to him?
Love is a thing, it is really difficult to guess.
"This position can no longer be sat by others, because ...... It's mine, you know? Madame Red suddenly got up and instructed me, I nodded desperately, Madame Red smiled indifferently, and walked downstairs with good steps.
I saw that her master and servant were about to leave, so I hurriedly called the little maid in green: "Dai...... Miss Dai! "Eh-" she responded sweetly, "what's the matter?" β
"That ββ, please give me the antidote!"
Dai Zhen thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Your eyes are still sharp...... But wouldn't it be better for you if he died? Besides, that poison is Tanyuntang's unique 'Don't Hongchen', and the government won't find you." β
I said, "I just hope that everything will be safe and the world will be peaceful." β
Dai Zhen shook her head and sighed: "I didn't expect you to still have this character." She took a small paper bag from her waist and threw it on the ground, and then carried the Red Lady away.
I walked downstairs, put the small paper bag into my arms, and then reached out to probe under Feng Gongzi's nostrils, and found that he still had some faint breath, and hurriedly picked him up and sent him into the Taishou Mansion in the city. Of course, I also got five taels of silver as a thank you fee, and I knew that because I was just a lowly and vulgar shopkeeper, even if it was a life-saving gift, the reward I could get was only five taels of silver, which was enough to send me away in the eyes of those rich people.
