Chapter 236: Assassination

Although it was daytime, still in the lively market, Zhu Youning also heard the sound of silk and bamboo and melodious singing from the star-picking building. There are also people whispering on the side, saying that the star picking tower is the best place to watch singing and dancing in the capital.

"It's very lively here," Zhu Youning turned around and asked Yan Sui, "Why didn't you bring me here to play?" ”

Yan Sui was speechless for a moment, "If you like it, I'll take you to play next time." "A few days ago, he paid a lot of money to invite the best kabuki in Xinglou to his home, because he was afraid that Zhu Youning would not like the noise here.

Zhu Youning nodded happily.

At this time, a strange smell faintly reached the end of the nose. Some people passing by looked curiously, and some people covered their noses and held baskets to speed up their steps.

Zhu Youning walked a few steps forward and saw several people lined up in front of a stall of fried stinky tofu.

"I want to eat that!" The white and tender little hand pointed to the stall, and the long eyelashes flickered and looked up at Yan Sui, "Oh, there is stinky tofu here, why didn't you bring me earlier?" ”

Yan Sui was helpless for a while, the meal she had just eaten at Jiang Yu's chef's house was enough to eat at this stinky tofu stall every day for five years.

The elegant and fresh Jiangnan people in my heart, like jade, and the person who is now bright-eyed and want to eat fried stinky tofu seem to be unable to coincide.

The slender fingers pinched the center of his eyebrows, but Yan Sui couldn't help laughing, "Let's go, let's go buy it." ”

Steward Yan said, "Uncle, why don't you let someone buy it." There are too many people. ”

Yan Sui looked at Zhu Youning's red face, looked at the stall again, and said with high interest: "No, there won't be many people." ”

After that, he pulled Zhu Youning's cloak, and the two went to line up to buy stinky tofu together with great interest.

Steward Yan shook his head and smiled, as soon as Miss Zhu came, Hou Ye's whole person regained the vitality of a young man, he was always calm and sophisticated before, and he was always calm and sophisticated, juggling between saints, courtiers, merchants, subordinates, magistrates and local gentry, and he had already experienced the old man and was serious, and he didn't look like a young man in his early twenties at all.

Steward Yan also followed with the guards.

When he came to the stall, although Zhu Youning's sight was blocked by the people queuing in front of him, his voice was crisp: "Come to two!" ”

"Okay! Objective you later! The stall owner was a middle-aged man, wearing a coarse cotton jacket with patches and patches, and his hands were thick and red from the cold, and he was busy working.

Zhu Youning turned around and asked Yan Sui, "What did we bring to barter with them?" ”

She followed Yan Sui out today and didn't bring anything.

Yan Sui then remembered that he didn't bring it with him, so he touched his body, and then turned back to ask Steward Yan.

Zhu Youning couldn't help laughing, but he also secretly sighed to himself, how serious the commercial inconvenience was after not allowing gold and silver trading.

The few people in the queue in front of them all got their share, turned around and walked away.

Zhu Youning also stepped forward, curiously looking at the oil pot sitting on the charcoal stove in front of him, more than a dozen slices of tofu were put into the pot, and the wide fence stirred in the pot, and the tofu gradually swelled.

Zhu Youning smiled and turned back to Yan Sui and said, "You used to like ......"

"Be careful!"

Yan Sui took the grain and turned around, just as he saw the stall owner lifting the oil pot with one hand, and the hot oil was splashed on Zhu Youning's face!

Yan Sui's frightened three souls were about to get out of the body, one pulled the person away, and the other hand subconsciously pulled the gray squirrel cloak to cover her.

I only heard a commotion, followed by the sound of the iron pot falling to the ground, and before Zhu Youning understood what was going on, he had already fallen to the ground, watching Yan Sui being splashed with hot oil on half of his body!

The sword flashed, and the stall owner and a few people mixed with the people actually drew their swords out of nowhere and rushed straight in the direction of Zhu Youning and Yan Sui!

When the people saw this, it was like a drop of water falling into the oil pot, which exploded in an uproar, and they all screamed and fled in all directions, and the lively market that was still full of fireworks turned into a pot of porridge in the blink of an eye.

"Uncle!" Steward Yan stepped forward angrily and pulled Yan Sui down.

The guards also pushed aside the crowd of people in front of them and rushed forward

Yan Sui's arm was on fire, and the hot oil still burned him through the gray squirrel cloak and cotton jacket, but he was very calm, and he originally planned to order the guards to meet the enemy, but suddenly found that the group of assassins was not spoiling him, and the sword light of the person in front of him had already pointed at Zhu Youning, obviously going towards her!

Yan Sui's eyes were about to split, and he hurriedly flew forward to stop him, kicked the oncoming assassin away, and lifted her up behind him with Zhu Youning's collar.

Steward Yan was even more brave, waving a pair of fleshy palms with a tiger, and let go of the assassin in close proximity in two clicks.

At this time, the stall owner selling stinky tofu stood still and stared at Zhu Youning with fierce eyes.

Steward Yan looked fixedly, and after a moment, he sneered, "Wang Chuang!" You kid dare to come to the capital! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to be presumptuous! ”

Wang Chuang didn't expect that he would still be recognized after putting on makeup, and sneered in shock: "You old bastard!" Half of the coffin buried in loess actually dares to go wild in front of the master! I'm afraid of being young, I advise you to get acquainted with each other, get out of the way, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu's wealth! ”

Steward Yan sneered, didn't talk nonsense with Wang Chuang, and ordered the guards to protect Yan Sui and Zhu Youning, so he rushed forward to fight with him.

Wang Chuang used a knife, and Steward Yan relied on a pair of fleshy palms, thinking that he should have the upper hand. Who knew that this old immortal kung fu had actually improved again! He didn't pay attention to any morality, and shouted at the brothers to go together, but he was overturned by Steward Yan one by one.

Wang Chuang had brought ten brothers with him, but now he had lost half of them, and she saw that she could not get any benefit. I can't help but be a little anxious.

In a hurry, the rules and regulations are even more confusing. Looking at Zhu Youning again, the other party was under the strict protection of the little white face and the rest of the guards.

The most important thing, such a big incident happened in the bazaar, which has already alarmed the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and this group of people can already be seen at the corner of the street.

Wang Chuang didn't dare to fight at this moment, and said loudly: "The wind is tight,!" ”

When the brothers behind him heard this, they hurriedly fought and retreated with him, and fled before the men of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses arrived.

Steward Yan retreated to Yan Sui's side, for fear that someone would hide in the shadows, and while they were not guarding against a sneak attack, they were not in a hurry to chase Wang Chuang and his party.

The commander of the five cities and horses, the commander of the northern city, had already hurried over with people.

The bazaar was in shambles, the people had long since fled, and even the doors and windows of the merchants on the street were closed. Only Yan Sui and his party stood in the middle of the road.

The commander of Beicheng approached, and when he saw Yan Sui's appearance and the Yan steward beside him, he recognized the person.

"Uncle Yan, you are frightened!"

"Master Chi." Yan Sui said gently and politely, "Thanks to the timely arrival of Lord Chi, I took my distant cousin out to play today, but I didn't expect to meet a knife-wielding murderer, and the guards around me took down a few people, but the main culprit escaped." ”
