Probably seeing the shopkeeper and Li Hao's impatience, the sixth princess said loudly: "Two brothers, let's move here to live, you can come and see it from time to time if you are closer to the painting shop." ”

Dare to love, she uses this painting shop as a free counter for her own paintings, but she is so reasonable.

The shopkeeper was even more embarrassed, and in the end he controlled the mood of being completely violent and scolding, and said with a smile: "People who read books naturally have to live closer to here, if this little brother can draw a few good paintings, he can also be sold by the three stores." ”

Poof

Xue Yue'er pursed her lips and chuckled, looking at the appearance of the sixth princess in amusement.

"Haha......"

Li Hao laughed directly, where was there a little restraint, so angry that the sixth princess really almost ran away.

The sixth princess quickly recovered her expression and said with a smile: "Xiaosheng's works are still a little rusty, I'm afraid that I won't be able to enter the shopkeeper's shopkeeper's shop, but if I stay for a while, I will definitely be able to draw a boutique like the one in the store, and then I will come to the store again." ”

Generally, the paintings sold in these shops are slightly better paintings, and they don't sell for much money, let alone they are not high-quality paintings. The most exquisite paintings are bought by wealthy merchants and others from famous painters, and they rarely go through such small shops. Of course, the shopkeeper will not say this.

The shopkeeper said: "It's easy to say, then I wish the little brother's Danqing skills to be successful as soon as possible." ”

In this way, the sixth princess's face was red, and she didn't hold on for long, and hurried out of the store. By the way, I also received some very poor white paper, which was used to go back to practice painting.

Originally, the sixth princess wanted to buy some high-grade rice paper, but when things evolved like this, it was naturally impossible to buy them again.

Holding the poor roll of drawing paper, staring at Li Hao and smiling very happily, the more she thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, she suddenly stuffed the drawing paper into Li Hao's hand, entered a shop again, and continued to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings inside.

Li Hao couldn't laugh at this time, and waited on the side with a bitter face.

Although the painting is beautiful, where can it compare to the real scene? Although the words are beautiful, where can they compare to what is written on the plaques everywhere?

played until the night was bleak, the pedestrians gradually decreased, and the shops closed one after another, and the six princesses let go of Li Hao and the others. So much so that Li Hao and the others said that they were unwilling to go shopping with her anymore, even if she threatened to go home and enjoy happiness.

After this night, Li Hao and the three of them carried their packages and walked slowly to a pharmacy to buy some medicinal materials. The east family bought a little bit and the west family bought a little bit, which was not a prescription at all, which made the shopkeeper extremely suspicious and didn't know what he was going to do when he bought this medicinal herb.

After buying medicinal materials, Li Hao borrowed a medicine mill and carefully ground it into powder according to the secret recipe in his memory.

The sixth princess didn't know what Li Hao was doing, and she didn't know those medicinal materials, so she couldn't help but be very curious.

After all the medicinal materials were gathered, Xue Yue'er followed Li Hao for two years, but she guessed a rough idea, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, is it a little too bold to do this?" ”

The sixth princess hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, what is the senior brother going to do?" ”

"Incense." Xue Yue'er replied with a smile.

The sixth princess laughed heartily and said, "Senior brother, you are too bad, so you are not afraid of being provoked by more people to hunt you down?" ”

"It's better than going home with you."

Li Hao continued to tinker with the large amount of medicinal powder, and the sixth princess and Xue Yue'er simply practiced calligraphy on the side, and it was a waste to use it for painting after all, after all, it was not his specialty.

On the second day of the city-wide lockdown, the major inns began to come to ask if there were any suspicious people staying in the hotel, and left people to monitor each hotel.

However, Li Haoqi was a high student, and on the second day of entering the city, he actually spent a lot of money near the Ayding Mountain store, and directly bought a small manor with 5,000 taels of silver to live in. and also found two subordinates to serve, a picture of planning to live for a long time.

However, those little thieves and big bandit leaders were unlucky again, and many people were caught. This Li Hao and the two may be their nemesis, and when they came to the capital twice, two large numbers of bandits and thieves were implicated and arrested.

By the third day, there were more patrolling guards on the streets, not to mention the Masters of the Microsuits.

It really can't be delayed any longer, they're already playing pretty much anyway.

In the evening of that day, Li Hao instructed the newly recruited subordinates to invite a carriage to come in.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the sun began to rise, and the sky was golden and brilliant, sprinkled all over the city, taking away some faint mist, and there were already more pedestrians on the road.

A carriage slowly drove out of Li Hao's newly bought manor, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the screeching sound of the wheels slowly went to the north city gate.

There were a large number of guards guarding the city gates, nearly a hundred, and this is not counting those on the city walls.

In the early morning, the wind in front of the city gate was very strong, and the bright yellow flags on the city wall were blown and hunted, and many people were bent their necks and waited, and kept cursing which damned guy was not shallow, and everyone suffered with it.

There are not a few people entering and leaving the city, and this carriage is slowly waiting in the flow of people out of the city.

While waiting, the triangular-faced dry old man driving the carriage, wearing a thick gray cloth jacket, looked at the flow of people in front of him, simply took out a tube of dry tobacco, stuffed a touch of tobacco, lit it with flint, took a deep breath, and then spit out a large mouthful of gray-white smoke, looking leisurely and contented.

The wheels moved slowly, and soon it was his turn, and the guards guarding the city shouted, "Come down." ”

The old man put the pipe on his belt, jumped out of the car and said, "This soldier, this car is just loaded with some ordinary luggage, you can take a look." ”

One guard pulled the dry old man over and searched carefully, while another guard went into the carriage to examine.

The dry old man was afraid that he would secretly withhold something, and then he would be scolded by his employer, and when he was searched by the guards, his two eyes kept staring at the guard's movements.

Inside the carriage were two large boxes, unlocked, containing some silk satin, which the guards opened carefully to look at carefully, and there was no murderer, and there was no hidden murder weapon.

The only thing that is a little strange is that there is a card inside, with a few words on it - Li Chengzhi's spiritual position, and there are two white candles lit in front of the spirit card, which are blown in by the wind blowing in the carriage.

"What is this?"

The guards guarding the city were very unlucky, but they had to ask, perhaps purely by words. Because after he saw the spirit card, he put Buman down and jumped down.

What he didn't see clearly was that when he entered the carriage, the candle flame was usually red and white, but the candle was blue and blue.

The dry old man said: "I don't know, the employer has instructed you not to ventilate casually." ”

"Let's go, it's a lot of work."

There was nothing to look for, just a little weird and unlucky, and the guards waved their hands to let them go, and their faces were a little unsightly.

The carriage continued to move slowly, no different from the cart pulled by the oxen, but this did not affect the coming out of the back, and naturally no one blamed him, not to mention that the avenue outside the city gate was wide enough for five or six carriages to travel side by side.

The breeze blows, and a very good fragrance suddenly wafts out of the old compartment, such as orchid and musk, and like the smell of sandalwood burned in the temple, which makes people feel very comfortable and warm.

Gradually, the green smoke wafting out of the carriage became bigger and bigger, blowing along the breeze at the city gate, and drifting faintly far away.

"What's in the carriage, how can there be smoke coming out?"

"Got sandalwood in the car?"

……

The people waiting behind couldn't help but guess that the guards didn't care, thinking that it was just green smoke from the normal candle flame.

Shortly after this carriage, another carriage came to the city gates.

"There are so many carriages today, can't there be two more boxes in them?"

The guards guarding the city couldn't help but mutter, if there were a few more, wouldn't they be exhausted.

"It's not two boxes."

Without waiting for the guards to breathe a sigh of relief, the coachman with a thin face smiled and said: "It's four boxes, the employer said that the boxes are poisoned, I don't have an antidote, so don't open it!" ”

Thinking that he didn't believe it at the time, he only used one finger to point it, and he howled in pain, and his fingers became as black as fire, but fortunately, his employer immediately gave him an antidote, and he was relieved of his pain.

The guard's face changed, and he reprimanded: "Hmph, if you want to hide criminals and escape from the city, how can it be so easy?" ”

The rest of the guards immediately stared at the coachman and the carriage with a wary expression. The coachman smiled, too lazy to argue with him.

The chariot was opened, revealing four half-foot-long and narrow boxes, with very small copper locks buckled on the boxes, and it was impossible to put a person down even if he cut off an arm, where could he hide people.

The guard sighed with relief and asked, "Haha...... I thought it was a big box, but it was so small. What's in it? ”

The coachman shook his head and said, "I don't know, the employer didn't say it, the little one is just a coachman, where do you dare to ask more." ”

It's not that he didn't dare to ask, but he was so scared of the poison, and it was estimated that it was also filled with poisonous snakes and poisonous insects. These things are like treasures to them, and they and others just can't avoid them.

Thinking of the eerie hey sneer of the employer at that time, the coachman couldn't help but shudder again.

When the coachman saw that the guard wanted to open it and look at it, he didn't dare to let it go, and said with a smile: "Since there is nothing that the father-in-law is looking for, then you can go?" ”

"This box is really poisonous?"

The guard suddenly moved, and touched the box with the scabbard in his hand, but he really didn't dare to touch it with his hands. Gently pushed, the box still wouldn't move.

Is it silver and gold? The guard's heart thumped with excitement, as if the gold and silver had entered his hand, and the clenched scabbard in his hand unconsciously used more force, pushing the heavier box a little more.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a large cloud of green smoke came out from under the box, which exploded outward in an instant.

"Ahh It's miserable! ”

The coachman screamed, immediately abandoned the car and fled, desperately fleeing out of the city. However, the smoke seemed to be stirred up by explosives, and the speed was extremely fast, and the driver was about three feet away from the carriage, and the entrance of the carriage was not directly facing him, so he still could not escape, and some smoke was inhaled into his nose, and he faintly felt drowsy.

Bang bang bang

After that explosion, three explosions sounded in succession, shaking the cloth on both sides of the carriage, and the carriage kept shaking. A large cloud of gray-white smoke billowed out of the entire carriage, instantly sweeping the entire city gate and tower hole, filling the entire door hole. Then the breeze blowing into the city, and the queue waiting to leave the city, as well as a large group of people who had just entered the city, were suddenly wrapped in this gray-white smoke.

The guard standing at the entrance of the carriage bore the brunt, and the smoke choked directly into his mouth, and at once it entered half of the gray smoke in his stomach, his eyes were closed very simply, and he fell to the ground directly like a wooden carved clay sculpture.

The guards next to him were no exception, holding out only for a breath or two.

Hiss......

The horses pulling the carriage were so frightened that their hair exploded, and they rushed forward desperately pulling the carriage forward, leaving the clouds of smoke floating back to the city gate and back to the north gate of the city.

As soon as the panicked crowd behind them breathed in the smoke, they felt tired and drowsy, gritted their teeth and rushed to the side, not rushing three or two steps, falling down one after another, lying on the ground one after another.

On the contrary, the extremely fast coachman who saw the opportunity went straight out of the city gate for dozens of zhang, and then dozens of zhang away, still did not fall, but ran more and more energetically.

"Stop, don't move!"

The explosion sounded, and suddenly three or four men in different clothes rushed to the coachman in the crowd behind, chasing the culprit.

The group had just taken a few steps when a stream of people rushed in, and these people bent their legs and jumped over their heads like birds of the roc, chasing beyond the city gates.

"Catch the murderer!"

Suddenly, three horsemen shouted in the same voice, and rushed out of the city gate.

The guards guarding the gates of the city stood for a moment before they rushed down from the walls in panic to chase the fleeing men.

thump

The four Dapeng birds flying in mid-air suddenly fell dozens of feet in front of the city gate, lying on the ground like the guards guarding the city.

At the moment when they fell, a look of extreme horror flashed in their eyes, and they felt that this thing was very strange, and it was strange that they couldn't accept it, because they had obviously closed their noses, and they were obviously able to rush out of the dozens of feet without the slightest problem, why did they suddenly fall?

Why did someone who didn't inhale a little bit of this smoke fall down? Could it be that this smoke is poisonous and will fall when it touches the body?

With this incomprehensible doubt, they fell to the ground with their eyes closed in sleepiness. When your body touches the ground, it still hurts!

Sure enough, the higher you fly, the worse you fall!

Some of the men who were not poisoned were gloating from afar.

Most of the people who approached the city gate fell to the ground, and only the three horses of the extraordinary steed, carrying three riders, rushed out of the city gate unimpeded.

So some people are thinking, why the man is not charmed, how can the horse not be charmed, how strange is it!

The men on the city wall had just run downstairs, looking in horror at the fainting guards and passers-by, and a few of them staggering and struggling like swings, not understanding why the strange smoke poisoned the crowd, and how they dared to approach that side.

The guards guarding the tower at the gate did not understand what was going on, so they naturally did not dare to shoot at the three horses with their bows. So, in just a few breaths, the three horsemen galloped hundreds of feet away, until they became smaller and smaller, turned into a red cloud, a red dot, and finally became blurred and faded out of sight.

The confusion at the gates continued, and the commander in charge, like the guards, fell in the smoke before he could give orders.

It wasn't until the clever guards sent the news back with carrier pigeons, and immediately a large group of soldiers rushed over to control the chaotic situation.

Afterwards, the unconscious people woke up one after another, and there was no major problem, including the curious soldier who had smoked half a cigarette. However, after the soldier woke up, he also suffered a stick feast, and the pain was so painful that he regretted it.

Several small towns in front of them soon received a letter from the flying pigeon, strictly checking the people who passed by.
