Chapter 47: Killing
At that time, the situation was critical, and everyone was busy running for their lives and did not look at the road. Natian Lingzi did not follow Du Baozhu and Li Yi to hide in the big tent where the martial artist rested, but hid in Du Baozhu's small tent on the side.
The two tents were about 100 paces apart, and I didn't know if he really ran in the wrong direction, or if he was afraid of being affected by Li Yi.
Du Baozhu touched his right arm, raised his foot and walked towards the small tent: "Is there anyone?" ”
There was silence in the small tent, and I don't know what the situation of Tian Lingzi was.
This old guy has been in the officialdom for so many years, and his ability to spare his life is better than anyone else. Du Baozhu is just a teenage girl, and he refuses to let down his vigilance, so he holds his breath and does not show up.
Du Baozhu was afraid that he would be ambushed in the tent, so he picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it into the curtain, revealing a corner of the tent.
It was empty, and there seemed to be no one. Still, when the curtain fell, she saw a corner of her coat peeking out from the side of the door.
In an instant, the blood rushed to her brain, and she silently raised her right arm to point at the shadow.
Kill him!
Tian Lingzi in history was a complete traitor, deceived the king upward, brutalized loyal ministers downward, and committed countless atrocities. Kill him for the people!
However, no matter how good the reason was, her hands were still a little shaky, and she couldn't get her aim at the target.
I finally mustered up the courage and was about to press the mechanism. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a fat figure again, rolling towards this side like a ball: "Lieutenant Tian!" Where are you? I'm Wang Debao from Changle Wine Shop, and I'm here to save you! ”
Tian Lingzi's rescuers have arrived, and if they can't kill with one blow, they will only expose themselves.
Du Baozhu weighed it slightly, but still lowered his arm, turned around and walked towards Wang Debao: "Shopkeeper Wang, who are you looking for?" Can I help? ”
Wang Debao was accompanied by a few guys, who should have just gotten the news from the wine shop. When he got closer, Du Baozhu found that his face was stained with blood: "The shopkeeper Wang is injured?" ”
Wang Debao pretended to touch his face and sighed: "A little injury, don't mention it!" Has the little lady ever seen Lieutenant Tan? ”
In fact, the blood on his face was someone else's.
He got Sun Fang's mention yesterday, and he has been busy repairing the shop, waiting for the distinguished guests to come to the door. Who knows, in the wine shop, the neck is long, and I didn't wait for the guests, but waited for a big bad news - the guests were attacked.
By the time he arrived with his men, the Assassins had already fled among the chaotic crowds of civilians. He had to touch some blood and wipe it on his face, pretending to do his best.
Du Baozhu pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I just heard the masters say that there are people hiding in this tent." ”
Shopkeeper Wang was in a hurry to make meritorious service, and hurriedly beckoned and led the guys in the store to the small tent: "Lieutenant Tian, are you inside?" ”
"Ahem." Tian Lingzi heard the voice of an acquaintance, so he got out of the tent: "I'm here." ”
When the shopkeeper Wang saw it, he immediately leaned up: "Lieutenant Tian, are you okay?" When he heard that the Martial Arts Society was coming to assassins, he immediately brought someone to him! ”
Tian Lingzi looked upright, grabbed Wang Debao's arm, and said anxiously: "You came just in time, come with me to save people!" ”
As he spoke, he took the lead and ran in the direction of the big tent.
He acted very realistically, if it weren't for the fact that Du Baozhu had just seen him cowering and immovable, he really believed in his illusion of being a loyal minister who was dedicated to the Lord.
However, the opportunity was lost, and she could only pretend not to know and follow behind Tian Lingzi.
In the big tent, Li Yi had already woken up, and Lang Zhong, who was found by the martial artist, was cleaning his injuries for him.
Tian Lingzi pounced on him with a 'wow', knelt at Li Yi's feet and cried: "It's all a certain lack of protection, and Langjun has suffered!" ”
Li Yi was smashed off the bridge of his nose, and was tilting his head to stop the bleeding, when he heard the sound, he squinted at Tian Lingzi and said with a smile: "Father, don't blame yourself, I don't have a big deal, but I just got a punch." ”
As he spoke, he also defended very unevenly: "That guy is very cunning, and he suddenly attacked when I was unprepared, otherwise how could I be so easy to attack?" If I see him again, I'll beat him all over the face and open a dyeing shop!" ”
"My lord," Tian Lingzi slapped his thigh and cried more rhythmically: "What is your identity, how can you risk your life and fight with those thieves?" You've shed so much blood, you really deserve death! ”
Li Yi was comforted again, and Tian Lingzi stopped crying, frowned, and said: "What kind of medical books does Lang Zhong of the ordinary medical hall know, let's go back...... Dispose of it at home. ”
Li Yi refused to leave: "I haven't seen this ring yet, what are you going to do?" I'm not in the way of this little injury. ”
Tian Lingzi persuaded him not to move, so he got up and looked at the people around him: "Who is the manager here?" ”
Shopkeeper He hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "So-and-so, I don't know what you command?" ”
Tian Lingzi said with a shy stomach: "Something to say to you alone, let other irrelevant people go out first!" ”
Du Baozhu listened to his words, then withdrew from the tent and waited not far away.
After a while, Shopkeeper He hurriedly ran out: "Little lady, do you know who Lang Jun is inside?" ”
At this time, the shopkeeper He was still calm and calm before, and his beard was trembling with fright: "Say it, you must not believe it, that is actually today's saint!" It was Lieutenant Tana who was talking to me just now! ”
Compared with his surprise, Du Baozhu's reaction was very ordinary: "What did Lieutenant Tian tell you?" ”
Only then did the shopkeeper He remember what he was doing, wiped his face, and said solemnly: "The saint is out on patrol this time, and it is not appropriate to make a noise." Lieutenant Tian told us to quickly suppress what had just happened, and not to mention a single word. If the news leaks out, the crime will be punished......"
Tricking the saint into risking his life, this crime is not big, with Li Yi protecting Tian Lingzi, even if it is exposed, he will not touch his fur a little.
But this trip attracted assassins, and the matter was serious. If Prime Minister Zheng Ji knew about it, even if he couldn't strip him of his official position, Li Yi would not be able to get out of the Suzaku Gate easily.
No wonder Tian Lingzi would hide Li Yi's identity and only call him 'Lang Jun'.
Du Baozhu lowered his eyelashes slightly, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, let's do what Lieutenant Tian orders." Those martial artists have signed a confidentiality contract with us, and they are not allowed to reveal the affairs of the martial arts society. If you want to mention a few more words, don't make a big fuss, but provoke the suspicion of people with a heart. ”
Shopkeeper He nodded in understanding, picked up the corner of his robe and hurriedly ran away.
Lu Ming leaned into Du Baozhu's ear and said, "His Royal Highness has come." ”
Du Baozhu looked up, and sure enough, he saw Li Jie hurrying towards this side with a team of guards.
He didn't wear the prince's python robe today, but wore a bamboo cloth green robe, which looked very noble and elegant. At this time, although the footsteps were in a hurry, his face was still the same high and profound appearance that did not show mountain dew.
Du Baozhu raised his hand and pointed to the big tent: "The Lang Jun who is resting inside, and only says that he is for the world, has not leaked the news." ”
Li Jie was not in a hurry to go in, but looked at Du Baozhu carefully: "Listen to Lu Ming, you saved the fifth brother?" ”
Du Baozhu didn't know his attitude towards Li Yi, hesitated for a moment, and saw that there was no one around, so he tiptoed into his ear and said, "Did the slave do something wrong?" ”
"Huh-" Li Jie laughed. He slightly blocked his lips with the unopened folding fan, and after a while, he leaned down and said in Du Baozhu's ear: "I am very friendly with the imperial brother, you saved the saint this time, and you deserve a reward." ”
This means that he has a close relationship with Li Yi and can be regarded as a staunch royalist. Du Baozhu was thoughtful.
Li Jie had already straightened up and said softly: "I'll go see the fifth brother first, and I'll talk to you in detail when I get to the tea shop in the evening." ”
Du Baozhu nodded, and saw Li Jie enter the tent, and heard Tian Lingzi shouting from afar: "Qilang, why did you come at this time?" If Boss Sun hadn't come in time just now, the assassin would have almost succeeded! ”
I don't know what Li Jie said, but the voice in the tent gradually became quieter.
Du Baozhu got up and walked in the direction of the ring, after the trouble just now, the martial artists who participated in the ring at this time were all in chaos, and the audience under the stage ran away without a figure.
Several liquor merchants who have contracted the viewing area are clamoring for a refund from the shopkeeper He.
Du Baozhu couldn't help but have a headache when she saw it, she had already laid out the game, and she was waiting for a move to defeat the enemy. Who knew that Tian Lingzi actually pulled Li Yu into the battle, and now he would have to spend more effort to save it.
Just as he was about to go to the shopkeeper to discuss, a half-height baby suddenly ran over, holding a dagger in his hand: "Little lady, is this your thing?" ”
That dagger was given to the life-saving benefactor by Du Baozhu, how could it fall here?
Du Baozhu's face changed, and he reached out to take it and put it in his sleeve. Only then did he look down at the little baby: "Where did you pick it up?" ”
The little baby sniffed and stretched out her finger to a place: "I picked it up over there, do you want to go and see it?" ”
This little baby is a resident who lives in a nearby neighborhood, and every morning he will come to the martial arts club to occupy a seat and resell it to wealthy customers. Du Baozhu had seen him a few times before, and knew that his family was no more ordinary, and he really had nothing to do with the rebellious army.
Then he nodded: "You take me there, if the information is conclusive, I will reward you with ten dollars!" ”
Xiaowa used to occupy a seat and resell it to guests, and it made five dollars. Now that he could get ten dollars for pointing the way, he was so happy that he jumped up and down to lead the way.
Seeing this, Lu Ming on the side was about to follow, but was stopped by Du Baozhu: "You go and bring a message to Shopkeeper He, let him appease these contractors first, and then count the number of flower sticks in our hands, I will definitely give everyone a satisfactory explanation before the afternoon." ”
Lu Ming hesitated and refused to leave: "Little lady, the assassin may still be nearby, and you are not safe alone." ”
"Your Highness has just ordered a search of nearby houses, how dare these people commit crimes again? This is the safest time and I'll be fine. On the contrary, it is you, and the matter I explain to you is very important, and it must be handled properly. ”
Lu Ming was dazed by Du Baozhu's words, and left suspiciously. Du Baozhu hurriedly picked up the corner of his robe and caught up with the little baby who led the way.
Maoer Lane is a rare vacant land in the East Market, once out of Maoer Lane, it is all densely packed with buildings and shops.
The little baby jumped up and down with Du Baozhu and turned left and right, and soon came to the door of the backyard of a private house, and said, "I picked it up in this courtyard." ”
