Chapter 012: The Assassin Who Confessed His Mistakes in Public
"This son, please stay, you haven't settled the bill yet."
When Princess Lian left the private room of the saint and the prince, and returned to the main entrance on the first floor to leave the Qinglian Pavilion, she was politely stopped by Xiao Er, a teahouse shop who looked very clever.
Listening to the reminder of the shopkeeper, Princess Lian remembered that there is something called silver two in this world.
Before she went to the tailor's shop and chose a son's costume for a woman to dress up as a man, she changed it for the clothes of the lady of the palace she was wearing, and it did not involve the checkout.
But at this moment, she tasted the best tea in the most expensive top teahouse in the imperial city, and just patted her ass and left, which was obviously inappropriate.
But what embarrassed Princess Lian was that when she left the palace in the morning, she didn't remember to bring some silver tickets and silver taels with her, and at the moment she was dressed as a man, and she couldn't take credit in the name of the princess of the palace.
Including her later pretending to be the identity of Lian Gongzi of the Divine Doctor Family, there is no way to use it to make credit, after all, this Miaoshou Tang has even left the imperial city for more than ten years, who knows if she is really a descendant of the Lian family, so dare to give her credit?
At that moment, Princess Lian also had a headache, and she really didn't know what to use to settle the bill.
At this time, Princess Lian inadvertently saw the man in black jump from the window of the private room on the second floor, and landed steadily in the hall on the first floor, holding a short sword in his hand, and rushed towards her angrily.
And the black cloth that covered his face was gone, so everyone could see that he seemed to be extremely angry at the moment.
It stands to reason that he has always liked to be dressed in black and masked, but he usually acts in secret, and he should not go to hunt down someone in public to reveal his identity.
But at this moment, in front of all the guests on the first floor of the Qinglian Pavilion, he did not shy away from it, and gritted his teeth and rushed towards Princess Lian, who was stopped at the door by the shopkeeper.
Then there is only one possibility, he is really completely mad, so that he has lost his mind, and he will not care about these taboos that he usually cares about.
Because the short sword he held tightly in his hand was obviously engraved with the three bronzing words "Bounty Palace", anyone who knew the origin of the Bounty Palace recognized the identity of the man in black at a glance, and guessed his purpose, which was to assassinate someone.
Because the Bounty Hall is the most famous Assassin organization in the Imperial City, if you can afford to pay enough bounties, the organization will send its top Assassins to secretly help the guests get rid of someone.
Although the hall on the first floor was almost full at the moment, no one got up and fled because they saw the man in black descending from the sky.
It's not that these guests are not afraid of death and boldness, but they are all scared silly!
Because no one could have imagined that the famous Bounty Hall assassin would actually appear in public, instead of never appearing in public as rumored.
So for a while, he stared at the man in black stupidly and rushed to the door, forgetting to scream and leave here quickly.
Not long after the black-clothed assassin jumped down, two more men jumped down from the private room on the second floor, these two were the current saint and the prince of Weifu's private visit, but considering that it was inconvenient for them to chase the black-clothed assassin in public, they took the opportunity of the guests in the hall being frightened by the black-clothed assassin, flashed to the corridor at the edge of the hall, and rushed to the door quietly.
Although they understood that the black-clothed assassin must have gone to take revenge on the white-clothed man, they believed that since the white-clothed boy was a hidden divine doctor family, Lian Gongzi, and had easily subdued the black-clothed assassin before, he should not be successfully assassinated by the black-clothed assassin in public.
did not chase after him in public, but planned to observe it secretly first and wait and see what happened.
If Lian Gongzi is indeed in danger, it will not be too late for them to take action.
But if Gongzi Lian resolved the crisis by himself, then there was no need for them to risk exposing their royal identity to help Gongzi Lian.
When Princess Lian saw the black-clothed assassin and the Xiao brothers jumping down one after another, she naturally immediately guessed that the black-clothed man must have escaped from the Xiao brothers, and deliberately chased her to take revenge.
But she didn't take this so-called top assassin of the Bounty Hall into account at all.
Instead, he said to the shopkeeper next to him: "My son has never had the habit of settling the bill by himself, and he has never brought a silver ticket or anything else, and his subordinates are responsible for it." You see, this isn't the son of Ben's subordinates who came to settle the bill. ”
As she spoke, she casually pointed at the black-clad assassin who was about to rush to her.
Speaking with great confidence and unhurriedness, it seems as if this ordinary person had seen that the frightened top assassin was really her subordinate.
The shopkeeper glanced at the black-clothed man who rushed over with a short sword, and asked in shock, "This son, are you sure he came to settle the bill?" Is there a short sword to settle the bill? Could it be that the Bounty Hall is so domineering in settling accounts? ”
The shopkeeper's tone was obviously a little unconfident, if he hadn't seen Princess Lian standing there calmly, he would have run away a long time ago.
"Hey, this is a new subordinate from the Bounty Palace, who is doing things carelessly. I don't know how to keep a low profile. It is estimated that he also forgot to bring the silver ticket, and he was afraid that I would blame him, so he hurried to plan to use the short sword as a mortgage, and then send the silver ticket another day to redeem the short sword, right? It's all to blame for this son not being * good at him, it's really out of place! What a shame for the Bounty Palace! ”
Princess Lian sighed and said in a tone of hatred.
After saying this, the man in black also rushed to Princess Lian.
Just when he was furious and was about to stab Princess Lotus on the spot with the short sword in his hand, Princess Lotus quietly raised her jade hand, and an invisible force instantly trapped the man in black, and after taking his short sword casually, he lost control of his whole body, his legs were weak, and he knelt in front of Princess Lian.
Not only that, but the man in black's head also hit the ground heavily.
Princess Lian bent down and helped up the upper body of the man in black who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't move, and in the process of helping, she also quietly clicked his dumb hole, making him speechless again.
Princess Lian did this to prevent the man in black from speaking and ruining her plan and exposing the fact that she was not the master of the black-clothed assassin.
Now that the man in black is kneeling in front of her in embarrassment, and he can't say a word, then no matter how much Princess Lian talks nonsense, she doesn't have to worry about being exposed by the man in black on the spot.
Because the timing of Princess Lian's attack was just right, the moment the black-clothed assassin stabbed the short sword at her, trapped his body, took the short sword, and made the black-clothed man kneel in front of her on the spot with an unstable center of gravity, and his head also slammed on the ground, so in the eyes of the shopkeeper next to her, she felt that this black-clothed assassin was really in a hurry to deliver the short sword.
And he was also worried that Princess Lian would blame him, so he didn't say a word, and knelt down on the spot and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
This sudden scene also made the guests who came to their senses in the hall on the first floor look stupid again!
Because everyone thought that the assassin in black was in a hurry to assassinate someone, but when he rushed to a man in white, he actually knelt down and kowtowed and admitted his mistake.
The assassins of the Bounty Palace, who have always been domineering and invincible in the eyes of the world, and the mysterious ones of the Bounty Palace, also admit their mistakes in public, how can they not be shocking!
This is undoubtedly shocking news that is enough to shock the entire imperial city!
When she saw the man in black's face flushed again, kneeling in front of him with a look of surprise and unwillingness, and the expression of the shopkeeper who suddenly realized, Princess Lian pretended to be relieved and said: "Well, you can know that kneeling down in public to kowtow to this son and admit your mistake means that you have realized where you are wrong." It's just that next time, can you have a longer memory, bring enough silver tickets, and help Ben Gongzi, who doesn't like to carry silver tickets, settle the account in advance? It hurt that my son was almost mistaken for a debtor. And then it's better to keep a low profile in the future, you jumped down from the second floor again, and rushed over with a short sword. Do you want the entire Imperial City to know that you are an assassin of the Bounty Palace? Like me, who knows you, I know that you are planning to use your short sword to temporarily settle the account, and you will redeem it another day with a silver ticket. I don't know, I thought you were going to assassinate your master in public! Isn't it a joke? ”
When the guests in the teahouse listened to Princess Lian's bitter words about the number of people in black who were down, they all looked suddenly enlightened and breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, she really thought that Princess Lian was the master of the black-clothed assassins!
Princess Lian naturally saw everyone's expressions in her eyes, and was secretly happy in her heart, very satisfied with her on-the-spot performance, and seamlessly fulfilled the things that she couldn't settle the bill.
As for the black-clothed assassin's desperate expression on the kneeling on the ground, Princess Lian automatically ignored it.
Of course, Princess Lian knew that what she had just said could deceive most of the people in this teahouse, but the Xiao brothers were an exception.
Because the Xiao brothers knew about the fact that he had just subdued the black-clothed assassin, and his identity as the son of Lian Gongzi of the Divine Doctor family, how could he be the master of the black-clothed assassin and become a person from the Bounty Hall again.
must have guessed that she just had other plans, so she acted in a play in public.
Therefore, Princess Lian is not worried that the Xiao brothers will misunderstand because of this, let alone expose her in public.
After the trouble in front of her is resolved and she leaves the Qinglian Pavilion Teahouse, she will hand over the black-clothed assassin to the Xiao brothers again, and then explain the reason why she did it.
In order to make this matter seem more real, Princess Lian casually handed the short sword to the shopkeeper beside her, and said apologetically: "Shopkeeper, please tell your boss that there is indeed something wrong with the Bounty Palace today." Oh, you can put away this short sword for the time being, as the tea money of my son this time. Change the Japanese son to send someone to redeem it again. ”
"This son laughed, since you are a person from the Bounty Palace, you are a distinguished guest of the Qinglian Pavilion Teahouse, how dare the little one not believe you? It's better to take the short sword with you, and you can check out the bill next time you come, so you don't need to be so troublesome. If the little one receives your short sword today, the boss will definitely blame the little one for neglecting the distinguished guest when he comes back! Don't be embarrassed by this son. ”
The shopkeeper replied in a panic.
After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper once again respectfully returned the short sword to Princess Lian.
"Okay then, then Ben Gongzi will take this unsuccessful subordinate and leave."
Princess Lian naturally took back the short sword without objection and said briskly.
After finishing speaking, holding the collar of the black-clothed assassin who couldn't move in one hand, he swaggered out of the Qinglian Pavilion Teahouse......
