There was an assassin at the martial arts meeting, and in Tian Lingzi's eyes, this matter was a provocation by the rebel army to him. Therefore, he sent his left and right Shence troops to search for traces of the rebels in Kyoto.

Being so troubled by him, the people of Kyoto, let alone watching the martial arts meeting, even stopped and left to buy food, and did not dare to stay on the street.

Du Baozhu finally managed to operate the popularity of the Martial Arts Society, and if he delayed it any longer, he was afraid that all his previous efforts would be in vain.

She didn't dare to delay, and after returning to the new tea shop from Changle Wine Shop, she immediately found Lu Er: "Second Brother Lu, I'm really sorry, I have something to trouble you again." ”

Du Baozhu was generous, and Lu Er got a lot of money just by using his mouth. Therefore, Lu Er liked this new customer very much, and when he heard that Du Baozhu had another request, he patted his chest with a smile: "Sister Zhu, even if you open your mouth, I promise to do it properly for you!" ”

Only then did Du Baozhu smile and handed a stack of paper manuscripts on the case to Lu Er: "I want to ask Second Brother Lu to help me find a few experts in storytelling in the market and spread these anecdotes." ”

Lu Er took a look, and what was written on the manuscript was the wonderful competition of the martial arts meeting a few days ago. It's just that the person who wrote the manuscript didn't seem to know much about writing and ink, the story was dry, and the words were barely read, so he couldn't help but look up at Du Baozhu.

Du Baozhu blushed rarely: "This is what I wrote, Second Brother Lu, don't laugh at me." It was precisely because I knew that I didn't have the ability to tell stories that I asked Second Brother Lu to find some capable people for me. ”

Lu Er hurriedly flattered Du Baozhu for his neat writing and proper narration. After Du Baozhu's face recovered, he promised with a smile: "Sister Zhu is waiting with peace of mind, I will go to find someone and ensure that this story will be passed on beautifully!" ”

"Then I'll wait for the good news from Second Brother Lu."

When Lu Er was in a hurry to find the storyteller in the streets, the Shence Army had already searched from the first side street to the third side street.

"Search for me!"

As the captain gave the order, several soldiers led the thin dogs trained in the army and rushed to the houses on both sides of the street.

The group was dressed in uniforms, but they were like robbers, and if the person who answered the door was a little slower, they would kick the door and break in.

There is a little baby who has never seen such a battle, and she cried, so she got a heartwarming slap in exchange: "Crying and mourning!" Damn, I look at you like a rebel! ”

As he spoke, he was going to catch the little baby who was less than ten years old.

Xiaowa's parents hurriedly smiled and stuffed money into the hands of the military master: "Military master, my family has lived here for three generations, and it is innocent, how can it be a chaotic people?" ”

The soldier tossed the silver, felt that the weight was quite agreeable, nodded to his companion, and then threw the little baby back to the ground: "Keep an eye on it, if you hear him howl again, the old men will arrest your whole family together, let you go to prison and cry happily!" ”

Tian Lingzi was born in the lower class, and most of the soldiers recruited by his subordinates were idle ruffians and hooligans on the streets. These people have no ability to fight, but they have a lot of ability to fight evil. By searching the name of the rebel army, he robbed and stole a lot of money in the open.

As he was counting the money in his hand, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Captain! There are traces of blood here! ”

The captain's hand shook and he almost threw the silver out, but he hurriedly put the silver in his arms and walked over scolding: "Where is there blood?" ”

The bloodstain was found in a deep alley on the third winding road of Pingkangfang, which stretched all the way to the courtyard of a private woman's house.

As soon as he saw the place where the blood had disappeared, all the soldiers had a wicked smile on their faces, and the captain laughed and scolded for nothing, pointing at a brother who stepped forward and slammed the door.

Soon, an old woman came to answer the door. The old woman got off the latch, stretched out her head to look out, and her legs trembled with fright: "Ladies and gentlemen, my family is not harboring the ...... of the rebels."

When several Shence soldiers saw that it was a wrinkled old woman who opened the door, their faces sank, and the charm in their hearts suddenly disappeared, and they raised their feet and kicked the door open: "I didn't hide the rebel army, I only found out after searching!" Call your master out! ”

The woman was kicked on the heel, but she didn't even dare to scream, and hurriedly got up and hurried towards the depths of the house.

Shen Cejun ignored her, led the military dog to follow the blood trail into the flowers, and soon came to a big pomegranate tree: "Captain, I found it!" ”

Hearing this, the captain of the team lowered his head into the flowers, only to see that the thin dog led by the soldiers was struggling to dig a new soil under the roots of the pomegranate tree.

"Dig it up and see."

The soldiers had no tools to dig the earth, so they dug up the slightly buried mound with the tip of their swords, and dug to a palm's depth, only to see a clump of fur buried under the soil.

The captain picked it out with the tip of his knife and saw that it was a dead cat.

The military dog looked at the dead cat, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and without waiting for the captain to react, he pounced on it with a "wang" sound, bitten the dead cat in two, and "crunched" to eat.

The cat didn't die long after, and after being bitten in two, blood trickled out of the cavity and spilled everywhere.

"Phew! Bad luck. ”

When the captain saw it, he couldn't help but kick the dog: "Something that has no interest, let you find someone, you actually found a dead cat!" ”

As he spoke, he covered his nose and walked out: "Hurry up and search for the next one." ”

The soldiers hurriedly followed, but only a young soldier in his twenties remained where he was, stretching out his finger and touching the tree.

The weather was hot, and the blood stains on the trees had long since dried up, and they turned into ashes when rubbed.

The little soldier's eyes flashed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

The bustard's mother finally arrived, and when she saw that the little soldier was extraordinary and couldn't figure out the depths, she came back with a smile and said: "Master Jun, I am an old acquaintance with General Chen, and I have always been good and good, and I will never harbor the ...... of the rebellious army."

Xiao Bing raised two fingers, stopped the bustard's mother's flattery, and asked in a cold voice, "Did any strange people come yesterday?" ”

"Strange people......" The bustard mother frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head: "No." You know, people who do business like ours sleep all day long, the doors are closed tightly, and no one comes. ”

The man's face did not fluctuate, and after thanking the bustard's mother, he trotted to follow the group.

In the study of King Shou's mansion, Li Jie was sitting by the window admiring the pomegranate flowers blooming just right in the courtyard. He clutched a few black rags in his hands, dirty and torn as if they were rolling in the dirt.

Li Jie looked at it for a while, then sneered, took the fire fold and burned the rags, and threw them into the goldfish bowl on the table: "This matter must not be spread outside." ”

Someone in the shadows whispered yes.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Shence army should have investigated, and it was time to blackmail, and seeing that they couldn't squeeze any oil and water from the residents of Kyoto, they gradually slackened.

At this moment, a group of men wearing red coats with patterns unique to the Du industry embroidered on the chest and back of the Du family struck gongs and rushed to the streets and alleys.

"Hey! Good news, good news! The semi-finals of the world's No. 1 martial arts club are about to open, and the top 100 viewers will receive a set of vouchers jointly launched by the five major liquor stores for free! ”

The people who were cowering at home and were frightened, hearing such strange news, couldn't help but poke their heads out curiously: "What 'semi-finals'?" What is a 'voucher'? Does 'free' mean 'no money'? ”

All the men who beat the gong have been taught by the shopkeeper He, and when they heard someone ask, they knocked the gong in their hands vigorously, and said with a smile: "This judge has asked the point!" Is this 'semi-final', that is, the ring has been halfway through, and the rest are our best masters in Kyoto, masters and masters, do you say that such a ring is not exciting? ”

"And that's not all! We've also introduced a new ring system, with not only one-on-one fights, but also multi-person mixed fights. There are many ways to compare these multi-person fights, some of which last longer on the stage, and some of whom defeat more people...... In short, there is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing we can't compare to in the ring! ”

The guy who struck the gong explained a few new terms one by one, which made the hearts of the spectators crisp and itchy.

I've been at home for two days, not to mention having fun, and even the meals have to be dealt with casually. Who doesn't want to go out and breathe?

You must know that in the past two days, they have pointed to a few storytellers to talk about the wonderful competitions in the first half of the martial arts meeting, and they have long been tired of hearing from freshness.

Now when I hear that the rest of the martial arts club are masters, and the rules of fighting have been changed, who is not curious?

What's more, the first 100 guests can still get wine for nothing, where can you find such a good thing? So they asked when the semi-finals would start.

After two days of banging the gong, Kyoto was finally reinvigorated.

On the day of the semi-finals of the martial arts meeting, as soon as the door opened, people poured into the venue like a tide: "Hey! I'm the first one, so where's the free voucher? "Don't squeeze, I'll come first!"

Fortunately, Du Baozhu was prepared and hired a few eliminated martial artists, so there was barely a stampede.

The first 100 people sat down happily after receiving the set of vouchers, and the remaining spectators who did not get the vouchers watched the lively fight in the ring, thinking "It's all here", and they also found their own seats to watch the game.

Looking at the viewing area that was filled in less than half an hour, even the well-informed Du Baozhu couldn't help but sigh: The residents of Chang'an have really seen the world, and they are assassins and searchers, and they have not stopped everyone's enthusiasm for joining in the fun.

In the six viewing areas, the five wine shops are all angry with the shopkeeper He, knowing that there will be no fewer guests today, and they have been prepared early.

Only Wang Debao of Changle Wine Shop, when the guys from the heart tea shop were running around the street beating gongs, they were not optimistic about this matter, and they didn't want to have anything to do with Du Baozhu anymore.

It wasn't until his stand was occupied by the spectators because it was unattended, that he hurriedly came with his men to collect the money. was so messed with by him, he naturally drove away a lot of guests, and the profit was not as good as the other five.

Wang Debao couldn't bear this breath, and without waiting for the ring to end, he went to Du Baozhu to settle accounts: "Du Baozhu, you are so bold!" Since you have reopened the martial arts club, why don't you know about me? Do you know who is behind our Changle Wine Shop? ”

"What is this by the king's shopkeeper?" Du Baozhu looked aggrieved: "When I planned this, I was the first to find you, and it was you who drove me away with a broom......"

The little girl is young and small, standing in front of Wang Debao, pitiful and innocent.

Even if Lu Ming knew that her little lady would not fight an unprepared battle, and that she had calculated nine times out of ten, she couldn't help but stand in front of her: "What does the shopkeeper want to do, you might as well think about it!" ”
