Chapter 85: The Assassination of the White Crane Tower
The face of the stunning maid showed a coldness: "It's really boring, all the sons and girls look at it first, Linlang has retired." ”
Xiao Er added new water, and Yu Linlang got up and withdrew without making a sound.
Song Yan hurriedly got up: "I'll send you back." ”
Yu Linlang blessed King Xian, and turned her head to look at the two girls who came with her: "You accompany a few sons and girls to come back after reading, have a good time today, I will tell my mother that I am not feeling well, so I will leave you here." ”
The two girls looked happy, and at the same time said with a blessed body: "Yes/Sister Xie Linlang." ”
Yu Linlang swayed out of the gate of the White Crane Tower, and the sound of Song Yan's carriage gradually disappeared.
The first story of Uncle Lu ended.
Everyone got up to go to the toilet, and those who left halfway out, and after a while, the crowded appearance of the second floor became sparse.
At this time, Xiao Er came upstairs, dressed exactly the same as the original one, but looked much more delicate.
This beautiful little two laughed heaps and said kind words from table to table:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next game is about to start, if you don't listen, please quit, if you listen, each person will give three more copper plates~"
"What? How do you increase the price halfway? ”
"It's too expensive, don't listen to it."
"When did this rule come into being? Isn't it all that you can listen to all the time with every refreshment? ”
Qingxiu Xiaoer replied with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this old man Lu is not an ordinary person, and the story is more expensive, you know, talking about it, it's not good to kill the head, so he wants a higher price...... This next time, you will have to increase the price. ”
"It's really unreasonable, don't listen to it!"
"Don't listen, don't listen."
Qingxiu Xiaoer's face was still flattering: "You go slowly, come back later!" Will definitely come back! ”
"Master, since this store has increased the price halfway, it is strange and chaotic, so it is better to change places......"
The guards who spoke did not continue, because their master had already thrown another twenty copper plates into Xiao Er's hands.
"Give too much, give too much, this son is so generous! The next one starts right away. ”
King Xian lowered his head and took a sip of tea gently, and Xie Ci glanced at Duan Ling'er.
The seats on the second floor were all gone, leaving only Duan Ling'er and their table and King Xian's table of guards.
The lively scene just now turned out to be a little scattered, but the lively sound on the first floor was still endless, as if the guests below were not affected by the negative emotions brought by the sudden halfway of the silver, and were still happily talking with their fists.
Duan Ling'er gently blew on the edge of the teacup, watching the tea leaves drift from one side of her mouth to the other side, hitting the edge of the white porcelain on one side.
If you are the boss, you will definitely not increase the price halfway, and if you do this kind of thing, won't you ruin the reputation of your restaurant......
Besides, as long as the book is good, the guests have been sitting and not leaving, and the pot of tea and a plate of snacks will come up, which may not be less than three copper plates per person.
The tea slowly drifted back to Duan Ling'er's mouth, Duan Ling'er stopped, and suddenly a very strange feeling came up in his heart.
It always feels ......
Not quite right......
Xie Ci looked as usual, but Duan Ling'er found that the speed at which he held the chopsticks in his hand to pick up the vegetables was obviously slow, and the other hand, which had been under the table, was no longer unobtrusively buckled on the knife at his waist.
King Xian and his guards, as well as the two Xiuchun Pavilion maids and the maidservant Snow Kite, were still supposed to eat vegetables and drink tea, and there was nothing abnormal about it.
Duan Ling'er withdrew her eyes.
Is it that you think too much about yourself and thank you......?
For some reason, she felt cold behind her, although it was early summer, but she was thin
On his back, there was already a layer of cold sweat.
This is the sensitivity that has rolled out of the intrigue and intrigue of her previous life for more than 70 years, and it is the sense of touch cultivated by escaping death many times.
There seemed to be many pairs of eyes behind her who were looking at them, and the owner of these eyes exuded a murderous aura all over her body.
This murderous aura will make someone disappear from the ground forever.
Duan Ling'er felt that those people, once they made a move, they would never make a mistake.
Duan Ling'er looked at Xie Ci, Xie Ci and King Xian were talking and eating at the same time, although the speed of the chopsticks had become slower, but his face had always looked very pleasant, as if he had noticed any suspicion from the end.
Duan Ling'er took another sip of tea, turned around and handed the cup to the snow kite behind him: "Snow kite, you go back to the house, take this cup back, just say that I like the style of this cup very much, let them look at it and find the same set." ”
Snow Kite was a little stunned, but she still stood up, took the cup and blessed Duan Ling'er, and walked downstairs, and then saw her safely out of the gate of the White Crane Tower.
Snow Kite can't do any effort, if it's really dangerous, it will cost a life in vain.
Duan Ling'er's heart relaxed for a moment, as if she had forgotten that she didn't know the slightest martial arts, and she was also in the center of danger.
I wish I had thought too much......
Duan Ling'er raised her hand, wanting to ask Xiao Er for another cup, but when she turned her head and caught a glimpse of that delicate face, her heart suddenly cooled.
She finally knew where she felt something was wrong......
In the world, there will never be such a clean shopkeeper.
It turned out that one, although he looked a little slippery and had a somewhat lazy attitude, he had a pyrotechnic aura on him.
And this person does not have any oil stains on his face, hands, cuffs, not even a little grease in his fingernails.
It is impossible to be so clean when doing things in a lively restaurant!
Duan Ling'er's heart sank, and she took out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.
"Why do you say that the book hasn't come yet? Why don't we go, Gongzi Li? Duan Ling'er leaned forward: "Let's go now." ”
King Xian was confused for a moment, but when he looked at Duan Ling'er's face, that look had already told him that he was in danger.
"It's better to go, I don't know if Song Yan sent the jade girl back, let's go to Xiuchun Pavilion and drink tea again." Xie Ci was also ready to stand up.
"A few guest officers have paid the money, why are they leaving?" The delicate shopkeeper suddenly appeared in front of them: "The next one is about to start." ”
"We don't want to hear it." Duan Ling'er stood up: "I don't want the silver." ”
Qingxiu Xiaoer just wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a voice from behind:
"Here comes the dish~"
I saw a cook come up the stairs and steadily place a plate of boiling fish in front of several people.
The guard in the back was stunned: "Cook, did you send the wrong table, we didn't ask for fish." ”
The cook had a long beard, and his smile looked very fierce: "Naturally, the guest officer didn't ask for it, we sent this dish." ”
Xiao Er of Qingxiu Shop smiled slightly when he heard this: "By the way, this dish also has a name for the knife, and I am for the fish." ”
In an instant, all the noisy sounds downstairs disappeared, and at the same time, the table of Duan Ling'er's table was kicked over, and the cook and the shopkeeper had already pounced in front of him.
The sword light swept in front of Duan Ling'er's eyes, and with a flash of thanks, his blade split half of the beard's shoulder, and King Xian, Duan Ling'er and the two maidens retreated to the staircase under the protection of several guards, but the killers who kept coming up downstairs instantly exchanged hands with several guards.
Duan Ling'er had been assassinated and assassinated several times in her previous life, and when the two girls were screaming and crying, she quickly retreated to the window and glanced down.
This window is adjacent to the back door of the White Crane Tower, and below is the back kitchen of the White Crane Tower, full of vegetables and fruits, and there is no one guarding the window at this time.
Presumably, these people decided that if the door of the restaurant was closed, they would chase a few people with a dozen or so, and the people who were pursued would inevitably die here.
She grabbed a girl: "Jump! ”
"What?"
"Jump down! Fast! ”
"No...... It's too high......" The maid shook her head and stepped back.
Before she could say the word "scared", a sharp blade had already pierced her body.
Blood splashed Duan Ling'er's face, and under the bloody aura and bright red, I saw that several of King Xian's guards had fallen to the ground at some point, as if they had been caused by the power of medicine, trembling and struggling.
A killer pulled the knife out of the girl's body fiercely, and when he was about to slash at Duan Ling'er, Xie Ci's blade had arrived, and the two knives struck each other, striking out a spark.
I saw that the knife in Xie Ci's hand was as thin as a cicada's wings, but he instantly cut off half of the killer's fingers.
The killer saw the knife and said "huh", and the momentary hesitation had already caused Xie Ci to punch his head and knock him unconscious.
"Jump!!" Duan Ling'er roared and pulled the surviving maid to jump from the window together, the maid was also trembling all over, almost shrinking into a ball, she struggled to jump from the window, but before she landed, she spit out a mouthful of blood, and she lost her breath at that time.
These people are poisoned!
Duan Ling'er didn't have time to think about it, only to see King Xian jump down, and when he turned around, Xie Ci also jumped down, and at the same time, more than a dozen killers rushed out of the White Crane Tower, surrounded from all sides.
Xie Ci and King Xian set up Duan Ling'er one by one, and the two of them climbed to the wall at the same time, and the three of them jumped to the wall in an instant, Duan Ling'er grabbed the arms of the two of them tightly, and his small body followed them to jump up one high wall and roof tile after another, and leaped to the canopy of one tree after another.
Turning his head, on the ground in the distance, there was a snow kite that had already stiffened.
Duan Ling'er's heart tightened, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Xie Ci and King Xian each held a weapon, carrying Duan Ling'er while their feet were like the wind, and they were running back against the hidden weapons flying behind them.
Xie Ci and King Xian's feet were already very fast, but three people chased after them, and one of them suddenly was the second child of the Qingxiu shop.
The jet-black cold star broke through the wind and attacked the three of them.
"Then Miss Duan!"
With a roar of thanks, Duan Ling'er felt that half of his body was thrown away by thanks, and he fell into King Xian's arms.
King Xian held her in both hands, and quickly jumped forward, and behind him, he turned upside down, flying the hilt of his sword, and knocked down the hidden weapons that came one by one.
"It's not a way to run like this!" Duan Ling'er looked at the scene in front of him in King Xian's arms, and he was about to leave Yangzhou City.
If you go to the Yamen, you have to pass through half of Yangzhou, I don't know if these people are waiting for them to throw themselves into the net halfway, and the fast hunting in the Yamen is ordinary kung fu, but these people in front of them are a top master, and they may not be able to gain the upper hand if they really fight.
……
"Go to White Horse Temple!" Duan Ling'er suddenly shouted: "The holy relics enshrined in Guanyin Temple are now in the White Horse Temple!" ”
Xie Ci and King Xian instantly understood that although the Guanyin Temple had not been built, Master Xuandu had escorted the holy relics from the capital all the way to the White Horse Temple.
In order to avoid thieves and reckless people from robbing this Buddha treasure halfway, the emperor sent several masters to escort them all the way, and those masters were still in the White Horse Temple at this time.
As long as he is a master in the palace, when he sees King Xian assassinated, he will never stand idly by, but will definitely fight for his life.
