Chapter 5: Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas (Part II)
Shown by the look of the man in Xuanyi, the young man noticed the noise coming from downstairs. Listening to it couldn't help but make his face change greatly, he grabbed the scimitar on the table and was about to rush out, but he was quickly held down by the man in Xuanyi, "Put the knife away, don't act rashly!" ”
In a hurry, the young man gritted his teeth and held back his breath before saying, "Brother, are you sure you want this!?" Now if you unexpectedly open a bloody road, there should be a glimmer of life, if you don't move again, you will only end up catching a turtle in an urn! ”
is still so unwavering, or so breezy and calm, the man in Xuanyi did not answer his question head-on, but replied calmly with his unique calmness: "You don't believe me? ”
I didn't expect such a reply, and the young man couldn't help but be stunned, but just a moment later, he replied with an extremely firm expression, "Swear to follow it, never have doubts!" ”
The answer of the obvious young man was already in the expectation of the man in Xuanyi, his eyes were as clear as water, and he said in a low voice, "Don't be impatient, I have already made arrangements, and there will be rescuers uninvited in a short time, so you don't need to worry too much." ”
"Rescuers?" The young man blinked and said in confusion, "Brother, aren't we hiding from everyone on this trip and doing it secretly?" How could anyone come to Dayu to save us? ”
"Why go far? Since they have someone who has to come to the door to relieve us, do they still have to thank you for such an opportunity? With a twist of his wrist, he gently and skillfully tucked the young man's scimitar into his sleeve, and the man in Xuanyi said as he walked, "The hour is almost up, you can go with me to meet them!" ”
Although it was completely cloudy and foggy, the young man still followed the man in Xuanyi downstairs according to his words. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw the innkeeper nodding his head and holding the account book with both hands, and a team of Dayu soldiers introducing the details of the registered guests one by one. Seeing them coming, his fat fingers stretched out, and he hurriedly said flatteringly, "Master Jun, there are these two officials among the people who have recently moved in to this small shop. They are the first time to stay in the new guests, and the villain knows very little about their situation, so they really can't say that they are ugly, so if you want to know anything, you still have to ask for yourself! ”
These words are really skillful, not only to show their own position, but also to clear up the stakes, thinking of the shopkeeper's usual flattering face, so that the young man hated to slash him on the spot. However, the Dayu soldiers, who acted faster than him, did not give him such a chance, and before he was still gnashing his teeth, a Dayu forbidden soldier who had already appeared to be a guide stepped forward and asked, "What is your surname?" Who? What is the matter with coming to Haoyang?! ”
The brain is a mess, the young man is upright by nature, he has never been good at lying, he was immediately stunned by this question, and he subconsciously wanted to swing the knife and cut it, but the scimitar was taken away by the man in Xuanyi in advance, and he only touched it. On the contrary, it delayed the time, which made that Xingzuo extremely impatient and shouted, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me? Look at what you kid looks like, you know you're not a good person! Don't want to answer, do you? If you don't want to say it, don't say it, there are many ways for you to never have to say it! Come on, escort both of them back to me! ”
The forbidden army who got the order did not dare to slack off, and they were about to take people when they brought the torture tools, but the young man did not hesitate as he replied before, and he clenched his fists in front of the man in Xuanyi, completely ready to attack. Those forbidden troops are also masters who are used to being rampant and domineering on weekdays, how can they give up when they see this state? When someone showed that the guy was about to attack, but he didn't want the two sides to just set up a position, and suddenly broke in from outside and surrounded them, the general who led the team didn't even ask a word, just swept his eyes, pointed to the man in Xuanyi and the young man, and said two words concisely, "Take it!" ”
Inexplicably trapped by someone, and the lost person who was lost without a name, when the real face was lost, although Xingzuo understood that the characters who dared to openly oppose the forbidden army in the blue sky and daylight were by no means idle, but the nameless karmic fire that was bubbling up couldn't be suppressed, and he crossed his waist and reprimanded loudly, "Where is the thing that doesn't have long eyes!?" We were ordered to arrest the assassins, but you dared to force them to stop you, are you in a hurry to report to the king of Hades?! ”
However, his threat was like an innocuous ear, and the soldiers grabbed the two men without a trace of wavering and dragged them out, only at the end of the general, who led the team, politely took out a token from his waist and lit it up.
There are young and vigorous people in the forbidden army on the side, they really can't swallow this nest of gas, and they are about to scold when they open their throats, but they are just about to speak out and are stopped by Xingzuo in a low voice, "Shut up!" They are from the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion, do you still want heads?! Close, close! Give Lao Tzu back to the camp to drink, don't be angry about yourself if you have nothing to do! ”
Xu is decent, and Xingzuo speaks in a very low volume. But the young man who was still not far away heard it clearly. The dark face was a rare change, and he was anxious to look back, but he happened to meet the oncoming man in Xuanyi. Without much hint, the man in the dark robe dissipated the young man's anxiety with just a warm smile, and was meekly and tamely escorted into the carriage, and there was no further incident along the way.
After that, it was bumpy, and I don't know how long it took, when the young man's eyes had begun to adjust to the darkness of the carriage, but suddenly his eyes suddenly lit up, and when he hesitated, a hoarse voice had sounded outside the car, and he saw that it was the general who ordered them to be captured, "Two of you, please follow the villain to the back garden, my master is invited." ”
Since the word 'please' is used and the speech is polite and courteous, the young people are not as resistant as before. got out of the car first and looked around, then put down the arm that had been blocking the car door, and said in a low voice, "Brother, if it's not a prison, this looks like a princely and noble mansion, it seems that what those Dayu forbidden soldiers said just now is true, those people are indeed people from the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion." But what kind of medicine is in Liu Kun's gourd?! If you sincerely want to invite me to come, you can do it in secret, why bother to make the people who want to escort us here, so that people's hearts are so unhappy! ”
The thin lips raised slightly, and the man in Xuanyi gently patted his shoulder, and whispered with a smile, "Will Liu Kun, the dignified and loyal Marquis of Yuanyuan, need to make such a big twist and turn in doing things?" The brain is used to move, if you have doubts, think about it, but don't use it as an ornament. ”
Feeling the mystery in his words, the young man wanted to ask clearly, but because there was an outsider who didn't know whether he was friend or foe, he couldn't help but shrink back when the words came to his mouth. Fortunately, his doubts did not last long, and when the so-called 'master' appeared, all the truth gradually surfaced.
It was a tall young man, dressed in an indigo cloud brocade robe, which stood out among the red willows and greenery in the garden. Seeing someone coming, he raised his head slightly, his cold facial features were as clear as a knife, as if he were a pair of bottomless pupils, and they were black to gloom against the background of his pale face, which made people secretly frightened.
Although he had never met Liu Kun, the young man also knew that the Marquis of Zhongyuan was over fifty years old, and he could never be as young as the person in front of him, and the nerves that had taken a break suddenly rang again, but this was just a wake-up call, because what the young man said next was the beginning of the real nightmare......
With a wave of his long sleeves, the young man saluted Shi Shiran, the man in Xuanyi, and said aloud word by word, "Next is Xiao Suchen, the famous king of the Southern Courtyard in Lingbei, right?" In the next disappointment, look at Haihan! ”
