Chapter 45: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
After all, Zhu Changsong is just a pen officer, not as good as those who catch heads and catch fast physical strength, after chasing for a while, he can't catch up, so he commanded the two followers he brought: "Catch up with them, give me a fight!" Hit hard! ”
Qu Xiaobai and Yang Ling were not far away, and his words fell into his ears word for word, and Qu Xiaobai became angry when he heard it.
"Zhu Bi, you are an official and we are the people, so naturally we don't dare to fight with you. You are still the brother-in-law of the county lord, so we dare not be your enemy. But why do you always hold on to us as a fool and a woman?
Zhu Bi, my husband Yang Ling is stupid, but he is also a big living person! You can't bully his daughter-in-law and me because he's stupid! ”
Qu Xiaobai's high voice is very penetrating, and at noon, it is a shop street, and people come and go, and they all surround her when they hear her shouting.
Her words can be described as very technical, vague and accusatory, not scolding people but scolding people every word, it is easy to make people reminisce.
People who are good at imagining follow her words to think, it must be that this Zhu Pencier relies on his own little power and falls in love with this delicate little lady, the little lady does not obey, this Zhu Bi official uses power to oppress people and wants to strengthen others.
More and more people gathered, but Qu Xiaobai didn't run away.
It's not that she is bold because of how many people she has, but she really understands that the hatred between her and the Zhu family can't escape for a while, and sooner or later she will have to fight guns against guns. Besides, no matter how many people gather here, it is just to watch the excitement, and it is impossible to support her and Yang Ling.
Behind the two of them, there was a fortune telling stall, Qu Xiaobai saw a Taiji diagram pressed with a few stones on the stall, and she took those stones in her hand.
"Hey, you little lady, what are you doing with the old stones?" The old man shouted.
"Borrow it, and I'll pay you back a bunch in a while." Qu Xiaobai solemnly handed the stone to Yang Ling's hand, full of expectations for him: "Brother Ling, it's time to exert the power of your marksman, pay attention, don't be discovered." ”
"Don't hit anyone else."
It is true that the plotter is not a hero, but she has no intention of being a hero in a short period of time.
A person like Zhu Changsong can only trample him into the mud by any means, otherwise he will trample her into the mud by any means, and finally press her to block the bluestone slab, so that she will never have the power to turn over.
The corners of Yang Ling's mouth inadvertently hooked up a smile. The little girl is not afraid of the earth, and she really has an appetite for him.
I didn't see any big movement in his hand, but I saw two stones flying out of his hand, Qu Xiaobai kept staring at him, and then he saw him make a move, and the audience and the audience didn't see him make a move.
The stone passed through the gap in the crowd and caught up in the middle of the heads of the two officials, "Who the hell smashed me?" ”
"I've been smashed too!"
"Whoosh", this time it flew from behind, right in the back of the head.
"Ugh!" This time it was very heavy, and both of them fell to the ground.
Qu Xiaobai looked at Yang Ling, he was beside her, and there were two stones in his hand, which were not made by him.
She raised her eyes to look, and in the crowd, she saw the familiar moon-white shadow again.
Mu Nanyun!
It's so strange that this person has repeatedly appeared in her sight, but he doesn't come out to see her openly!
Qu Xiaobai subconsciously pushed aside the crowd and chased after the figure of Yue Bai. Yang Ling also hurriedly followed.
As soon as Qu Xiaobai rushed out of the crowd, Zhu Changsong chased after her and directly blocked her: "I'll see where you run!" ”
Qu Xiaobai was in a hurry to chase after Mu Nanyun, so he raised his foot directly and kicked Zhu Changsong's stomach.
She really wanted to kick her stomach, but she didn't estimate the height difference between herself and Zhu Changsong in a hurry, and kicked Zhu Changsong's little brother with one kick!
"Ah......" A loud wail, Zhu Changsong covered his injuries and fell to the ground.
"Hiss", he really panicked for him, "Don't blame me, you chased me and beat me for no reason, and you can only blame yourself." Also, don't think about taking revenge on me, let me tell you, have you seen that General Mu, that's my good friend! ”
She has done a very good job of pulling the tiger skin.
There is no way, in this world of the jungle, she has no power to fight, so she can only borrow the reputation of others.
Zhu Changsong was in such pain that his head was covered with cold sweat, but he didn't pass out immediately, and he was worried about whether it could still be used there, and where else could he pay attention to General Mu.
Qu Xiaobai pulled Yang Ling out of the crowd, seeing that Mu Nanyun's figure had flashed past the corner of the street, and hurriedly chased after him.
Turning the corner, but there was no figure in sight, Qu Xiaobai ran sweating profusely, panting and looking around: "Running so fast, do you belong to a rabbit!" ”
Yang Ling was not as gasping as she was, although he still looked stupid on his face, but the corner of his eye swept over every place where he could hide people, and finally, his gaze was fixed on a high roof on the side of the road.
Qu Xiaobai found that he was staring at the distance stupidly, and followed his gaze to that place, only to see a man in white standing on the ridge a few feet high, and the man also held a folding fan in his hand, extremely sassy - oh, extremely chic and chic.
Qu Xiaobai glanced at him with slanted eyes, it stands to reason that she should be grateful to him for this person who saved her life, but she can't say why, she just doesn't have a good impression of him.
Possible...... Was that place too delicate when I first met him? Or, is his attitude towards her too subtle?
"General Mu, please come down for a while, stand so high, I can't go up." Qu Xiaobai shouted.
Mu Nanyun jumped over, flipped off the roof, his clothes fluttered, and fell in front of Qu Xiaobai and Yang Ling.
Yang Ling looked at him "stupidly", hidden behind the stupidity, but it was so deep.
The folding fan in Mu Nanyun's hand opened and closed fancyly, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "Mrs. Yang is really a smart woman, she can guess my identity with just a little bit of information." ”
Qu Xiaobai bowed deeply, detached and polite: "Thank you for the rescue of General Yalimu last time." The little woman was stupid, just guessing, the real identity of General Mu, the little woman didn't know. ”
She really didn't know anything other than knowing that he was a general.
Mu Nanyun took a step forward, his face very close to Qu Xiaobai, "Mrs. Yang plans to send me away with a word of thanks?" Except for that time, Mrs. Yang has pulled the banner several times and used my name to scare off the villains, so don't you plan to thank me properly? ”
Qu Xiaobai took a step back from Yang Ling's side, and Yang Ling was dissatisfied, lying between her and Mu Nanyun, pursing his lips and glaring at Mu Nanyun.
Mu Nanyun glanced at Yang Ling deeply, Yang Ling's heart moved slightly, what did he mean by that look? Could it be that you see something?
Yang Ling didn't make any more moves, just stood stiffly in front of Qu Xiaobai to block it.
Mu Nanyun obediently took a step back, "Brother Yang, you don't have to be afraid, I won't treat your lady like this, I just think that she is very business-minded, and I just want to cooperate with her." ”
Qu Xiaobai didn't think about it, so he refused: "General Mu really exalted the little woman, the little woman has no capital and no intelligence, how dare she talk about cooperation with the general?" ”
Mu Nanyun patted the folding fan in the palm of his hand, with a confident smile on his face, "Believe me, my vision will not be wrong, there are not many people in Nanping County, or even the entire Nanping County, who can compare to Mrs. Yang's business mind." ”
"Thank you General Mu for your compliments, the little woman really dare not take it. Brother Ling and I are stupid and weak, and we will be content if we can earn some money to make ends meet. If General Mu wants to find a partner to cooperate, some of the officials and nobles in Nanping County, and some of the squires and wealthy people, they are the best choice for General Mu. ”
Qu Xiaobai still declined.
She didn't believe this Mu Nanyun's words at all, but if he had any plans, what else did she have to make him do except for a little look?
She was always suspicious.
"Mrs. Yang, this is not a place to talk, you kicked Zhu Changsong inhumanely, I think in a while, his county commander should bring someone to arrest you, let's change the place to talk?"
Mu Nanyun is really good at finding her death hole. This shows that if she doesn't go with him, he will be a negative witness when someone comes in a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "General Mu thinks, where to go?" ”
"It's noon, let's find a restaurant to eat." Mu Nanyun raised his eyes and looked at the sun, and pointed to a restaurant with red walls and green tiles not far away with a fan, "Go there, Cyclamen Cloud Restaurant." ”
The restaurant looked like a high-grade restaurant, Qu Xiaobai touched the empty pocket, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, General Mu, I don't have so much silver to invite you, or, let's change it?" ”
Mu Nanyun laughed: "I am the little son of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion, how can I let a woman entertain?" Wouldn't it make people laugh out of their big teeth when they said it? Let's go, I'm in for a treat. ”
Qu Xiaobai didn't want to owe favors, especially to this General Mu, but at the moment, she really had nothing to repay the favor, so she could only hold Yang Ling's hand, "Brother Ling, I have something to talk to about with this General Mu, you and me." ”
Yang Ling is a fool, but from the very beginning, he is like her backbone, no matter what kind of things she encounters, as long as he is by her side, she will not feel afraid.
It's a peculiar thing.
Yang Ling glanced at Mu Nanyun hesitantly and unhappily, and nodded: "Oh." ”
Mu Nanyun's gaze at Yang Ling was always deep, not like looking at a fool's gaze, but it was also not like looking at a normal person's gaze, Qu Xiaobai was also slightly aware, she tightened Yang Ling's hand.
The Cyclamen Cloud Restaurant is not far away, but the tea time is gone, after entering, sure enough, this is not the kind of place that Huichun Building can be compared, not only the environment is good, the style is also elegant.
The shopkeeper greeted him and bowed to the end: "Mu Gongzi, you are here." ”
"Well, the old box, the old dishes." Mu Nanyun spoke, and led Qu Xiaobai and Yang Ling to a box on the second floor.
