Chapter 32 Suixian
Qing Luan's blade in his sleeve swished at another big man who tried to stab Han Zai, stopping him from attacking with one breath, and Han Zaishu stabbed him in the abdomen with a backhand.
The other two saw that something was wrong and instantly leaped back, and one of them blew his whistle.
"Not good! He's calling for companions! Uncle Han Zaishu rose up and pursued the past.
Li Wen and Qingluan also chased after the other person.
However, they killed only one of them, and the other eventually fled into the forest.
"Don't chase it, leave quickly!" Uncle Han Zai instructed, and no longer cleaned up the corpses on the ground, and immediately drove the carriage and ran away with Qingluan and Li Wen at a high speed.
Qingluan quickly carried the package on his back in the carriage, and a two-foot knife was also held in his hand.
With a bow and arrow in hand, Li Wen vigilantly patrolled both sides of the road.
A few days ago, they also experienced several attacks along the way, and Han Zaishu killed all those assassins first, and the bandits they encountered today seemed to be different, and they even pretended to be ordinary servants to block the road and investigate, and wanted to kill the suspect by surprise.
"It's really strange that we have all changed our appearance like this, and they dare to kill."
Qingluan was modified on his face by Uncle Han Zaishu without knowing what kind of cement, and his appearance was completely different from before, and Li Wen was even more so, Uncle Han Zaishu made him into an ugly boy with small eyes and a wide nose, but he was still almost killed by those people.
"Seeing that they were entering Qidi, those assassin dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry, but all the men who went to Qidi had to be killed without falling one by one." Uncle Han Zai sat on the wheel and said, "We can't go to the remote road anymore, go to the town, find a caravan to partner with, and take the official road." ”
The town was densely populated, and the Assassins must have had some scruples. Now that an assassin has escaped, the thief must know that there are three of them, and if the three of them go together, the target is too obvious.
"When we get to town, we may have to walk separately." Uncle Han Zai said: "These two carriages also need to be refitted." ”
At dusk, a middle-aged couple took a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl into the county seat of Suixian, the first neighboring county to enter Qidi from alluvial islands.
"Uncle Han Zai, let's go to the county government and let the county send someone to send us to Qizhou."
Qingluan, who was wearing a double bun and was dressed as a little girl, said: "Or let the county officials send a letter to the Qizhou Palace, and let the palace send guards to pick us up." ”
Suixian is only more than 100 miles away from Qizhou, if there is no accident delay, you can arrive in a day, but now there are assassins in various costumes at various intersections, which makes people unguardable.
"No! In that case, we will be in the open, those assassins are professional killers, and they are the best at assassinating in the dark, and those people in the county government are just ordinary fast catchers, not their opponents at all. Han shook his head again.
Not only that, but the assassin who refused to give up would inevitably be watched by the county government post station and other places, and going there would undoubtedly be a net.
Uncle Han Zai went to a middle-aged businessman with a gray beard and a short beard at this time. And Li Wen was wearing a woman's dress, her hair was pulled into a woman's style, and her face was also painted with old makeup, so she looked like a tall middle-aged woman.
"Who is so rampant?" Li Wen said sullenly.
He is a little-known prince of Qi, how can He De be remembered by others, and he will take his life if he is tracked for thousands of miles.
Qingluan really couldn't figure it out, why was the assassin so unrelenting? In her thoughts, since several assassinations failed, those people should stop.
Could it be that those people have become so unscrupulous and lawless that they completely ignore the laws of the court?
"Uncle Han Zai, why don't you take Brother Wen Shi first, and I will accompany you alone, what they are looking for is a young man, and they will not pay too much attention to a woman."
"No way!" Li Wen flatly refused, "How can you be a girl walking outside alone, if there is any accident, I ...... It doesn't mean me to live. ”
Han glanced at him again, "Jianing is right, it's safer for everyone." Those people already knew that we were three people, and now we had to walk separately. ”
So, Qingluan gave half of the silver ticket in the package to Li Wen and Uncle Han Zai, and gave the knife in his hand to Li Wen, carrying a small bamboo blue on his shoulder, with a small package around his waist, quietly jumped out of the carriage and disappeared into the darkness.
She'll have to find an inn for one night and leave tomorrow.
Han Zai and Li Wen went to a remote family to spend the night.
Qingluan finally found a small inn nearby.
At this time, the innkeeper was scolding the guy, "You lazy! Lao Tzu hired you to do work, not to raise a rice bucket, and the horse manure in the yard was not swept away, so you came to eat? Why don't you choke ......"
The guy stuffed a mouthful of steamed buns into his mouth again and again, and then ran out of the door with a puff of smoke, colliding with Qingluan head-on, "Oops! I said you ......"
When he looked up, he startled the young man.
I saw that a little lady with a double bun was born with spicy eyes, broom eyebrows, small eyes, garlic nose, and sparrow feces on her face.
The only thing that can catch the eye is the slightly upturned little mouth.
"I want to stay in a hotel." Qingluan said.
The young man didn't react for a while, and the shopkeeper had already run over with a fat body on his face, "Ah, the little lady lives in the hotel, come in." ”
A pair of triangular eyes glared at the stunned young man next to him, and kicked him, "What are you doing in a daze!" Don't go sweep the floor yet! A delicious and lazy ......."
Qingluan followed the shopkeeper into the inn.
There was a wind lamp lit in the inn, illuminating the fairly clean hall, the hall had no guests at this time, and there were several square tables in the oily black, and there were four long benches next to each table, and a basket of black bamboo chopsticks was placed on each table.
"Does the little lady live in the upper room or ......," the fat shopkeeper asked with squinting triangular eyes.
"Two upper rooms."
"Two?" The fat shopkeeper blinked in surprise with small triangular eyes.
"My father and brother will come in a while, they will go and do something now, and they will come over when they are done." Qingluan noodles do not change color.
"Uh-oh." The fat shopkeeper grinned, took out two door signs and handed them to the little lady, "Chenghui, one hundred wen per night in the upper room, a total of two hundred wen, if it is called for food and soup, the silver money will be counted separately." ”
Qingluan nodded, took the room card, and put down a small ingot of silver, "Then you send ten steamed buns over first, and then wrap four catties of braised beef, and my family will come to fill your hunger in a while." ”
"Okay, please go upstairs and rest first, the room is the third room on the left."
The fat shopkeeper put the silver on an ebony plate and weighed it, a full five taels, and then said with a smile: "The villain will ask someone to send it in a while, if you still need anything, just ask." ”
Qingluan stepped on the wooden stairs with an oil lamp to the second floor, walked to the door of the third room, looked left and right, and pushed the door in.
There was only a table and a stool in the room, and there was a small wooden bed, and the bed was covered with dust, and it was not very clean.
Putting down the oil lamp, I went to the back window and looked down.
Behind is the inn's horse porch, in which only a mule chews grass.
It seems that the business of the inn is not very good, and there are few customers.
After a while, someone knocked on the door, and the voice was like a male duck, "Guest officer, I'm here to deliver food." ”
Qingluan opened the door and saw the young man walking in with a food plate.
"Your braised beef and steamed buns." The young man put down the food plate in his hand on the table, and said without raising his head: "What else the guest needs, just tell the kid." ”
