Chapter Seventy-Four: The Mud Monkey
Jiang Longyuan's famous hob knife technique didn't have time to use it at all, so he had already fallen to the ground, blood spurting from his eyes, and a dart master who relied on knife skills to confuse the rivers and lakes lost his eyes, even more uncomfortable than killing him.
The embroidery needle was very short and did not pierce Jiang Longyuan's brain tissue, so he just had a dark eye in front of him and kept rolling on the road. Fifteen others rolled around with him.
The big man in red stabbed thirty-two times, no more than one and no less, and exactly sixteen blind men were embroidered.
The onlookers on both sides and the passers-by were shocked, and no one thought that the long-famous Longyuan Dart Bureau dart masters couldn't even stop this strange man.
A person flew from the attic next to him, and the spiritual power around him fluctuated violently, it was Fan Wenxing, the head of the guards from Xuanhua Mansion.
The man in red was so fast that he was dazzled, and Fan Wenxing only saw thousands of red silk threads shooting randomly in the same place, and the originally calm streets were full of dust.
After the red silk thread shot out, it fell to the ground softly, and Fan Wenxing took away the arm that was blocking his eyes.
The man in red had disappeared with the wind and sand, leaving only an embroidered shoe in its place.
Maybe he failed, or maybe he succeeded, for such a strange person, who can say what he did.
With the appearance of Fan Wenxing, a few drunken guards immediately rushed out and stepped forward to flatter
"Brother Fan is mighty, the embroiderer who is afraid of your majesty has been scared away"
The other person helped Fan Wenxing bounce off the dust on his body, and echoed, "Yes, even he is afraid, it can be seen that Brother Fan is famous."
Fan Wenxing frowned, and said angrily, "Don't fix these for me, send some people to pull this batch of goods to Xuanhua Mansion, if there is a mistake, I will ask you." ”
Several drunken men nodded in agreement, and upon closer inspection, they found that they all had a Xuanhua axe symbol on their chests, which was the symbol of the Xuanhua Mansion guards.
Don't look at their lazy appearance now, they don't dare to be sloppy when they go to work on weekdays, they are all good at one in a hundred, but today it is their turn to take a break, so they come to the wine shop in groups to drink.
They had long noticed the strange man in red in the center of the road, but they shouldn't have been on duty today, more than one thing is better than less, not to mention drinking and drinking, who would do that kind of thankless work, all with the mentality of not caring about themselves.
Fan Wenxing took a few steps, but he still felt uneasy, turned his head and added, "Forget it, you send the people from the Longyuan Dart Bureau back, pay five hundred taels of silver, and go back to my account, although I didn't complete this bodyguard, I still paid them half of the remuneration." I'll send these carriages back personally."
Xuanhua Mansion is not built in the middle of the city, it is a few miles away from the main city, and there is a section of field in the middle, this road is generally rarely walked, and only a few Xuanhua Mansion guards often enter and exit here.
Now on this road, there is a black-robed young man with a big sword on his back, who happened to pass by here.
The boy looked up, and saw several carriages speeding by. Kick up a lot of smoke.
Chu Lan's black robe was swollen, and his true qi was running, and the smoke and dust stopped a foot in front of him, and it did not touch him at all.
Fan Wenxing glanced back at Chu Lan, and hugged his fist slightly apologetically, Chu Lan nodded.
This section of the road is not a dirt road like it is in the main city, otherwise it would not have raised so much dust.
Chu Lan looked at the ground and found that several carriages had pressed the ground into deep imprints, and it was expected that there should be some heavy objects inside.
Turned around and entered the city, it was bustling here, and the specifications were no smaller than Silver Moon City.
There was a lot of clamor on both sides, and many people were talking about the red-clothed embroidered robbers, Chu Lan listened strangely, and didn't ask, and went straight into a wine shop.
Xiao Er hurriedly ran over, put a sweat towel on his shoulder, and flattered, "This master, what are you going to eat?"
Chu Lan ordered a few dishes casually and asked for a few good wines, which made the child happy.
It seems that this ordinary-dressed teenager is really a cheerful person.
I turned around and quickly served the food.
Chu Lan smiled and said, "Can I ask you a question?"
When Xiao'er saw Chu Lan's generous move, her heart blossomed, and she was naturally willing to answer Chu Lan's question.
He hurriedly said, "Master, you can ask casually, the little one knows everything, and the words are endless."
"On the way here, I heard a lot of people talking about the man in red, tell me what happened"
Xiao Er replied, "This master should be from out of town."
"I'm from Huangyang"
"This red-clothed man is now very famous in Xuanhua City, and he dares to intercept the convoy of Longyuan Dart Bureau on the street."
Chu Lan was puzzled, "Is the Longyuan Dart Bureau famous here for you?"
Xiao'er said, "Then there is only a name, the whole Xuanhua City knows that there were several dart games here more than ten years ago, and now, the bodyguards have recognized the Longyuan dart game, they are the only family, and there is basically no other dart game."
"And ah, it's no wonder that people are famous, it is said that there has never been a problem with the bodyguards of the Longyuan Dart Bureau, and the famous rogues from all over the country have taken a detour when they see the flag of the Longyuan Dart Bureau. ”
"Then why is it still wrong?"
Xiao'er chatted happily, and also looked at Chu Lan's good face, and there were no new guests coming, so he casually picked up a bench next to him and sat down, he continued
"So, it's a rare thing to dare to be a street dart, that man in red is very weird, guess what?"
Chu Lan was amused by him, good guy, like a storyteller.
"It's weird for a big man to wear red, but besides that, does he have three heads and six hands?"
Xiao Er ignored his ridicule and approached him to tell him, as if he was afraid that this matter would be known by others.
"And, the big man was embroidering shoes."
"Embroidered shoes, what do you show?"
And he can not only embroider, but also show the blind!"
Chu Lan was interested, he drank a bowl of wine, and motioned for Xiao Er to continue.
"Jiang Longyuan, who has been famous for many years, has been involved in the rivers and lakes with his hob skills, and Jiang Zong's dart head has been poisoned by him! And in just an instant, the man in red embroidered sixteen people blindly."
Chu Lan smashed his mouth, I don't know if it was the aftertaste of the wine or what, he already knew the ins and outs of this matter.
waved his hand to signal Xiao Er to leave, thinking to himself, "This big man in red is really interesting, the second uncle once said that there are many strange people on the rivers and lakes, and it is really true!"
A little girl with pigtails trotted out of the back kitchen, still holding a big chicken leg in her hand, he ran outside, and soon came back, as if he had done something good, and walked happily, the two pigtails were raised, and the two little arms were swaying from side to side behind him, like an uncle with low cultural quality.
Chu Lan was amused by her exaggerated walking posture, and looked at this funny little girl while drinking and eating.
There were two big men next to him who were obviously regular customers, and they knew this little girl, so he opened his mouth and smiled, "Xiaohuan, and the chicken leg was eaten by that beggar?"
The little girl called Xiaohuan stopped, and he inserted his small waist, "Phew, who do I want to eat, who do I want to eat, what does it matter to you?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and saw that the friends around him were looking at him with a smile, and he was immediately embarrassed, afraid that he would be laughed at by his friends in the future, so he wanted to tease the child and get back some face.
He stretched out his fingers and wanted to twist the ears of the small ring, but who knew that in the next second, the man who was at least two hundred pounds actually left his seat and fell to the ground, several diners around him laughed, and the man's face turned red with shame.
Others couldn't see it clearly, Chu Lan kept staring at the little girl, and he really saw it.
At the moment when the man made a move, Xiaohuan suddenly tilted his head to the side, and then his little hand clasped the man's wrist, resisted his shoulder, and then turned his body to shorten the distance between the two sides, because even if there was a point of borrowing, how could such a young child fall this strong man.
After Xiaohuan was in the body, he kicked on the stool under the man, and his body was suddenly a little unstable by the little girl, and now the stool was misaligned, and he lost his center of gravity in an instant, and fell down from the chair, Xiaohuan wrapped his leg around the man's shoulder, and in a turn, the man had flipped to the ground.
This seems to be a simple trick, but such a young child is particularly smooth to perform, with a small broad, somewhat mysterious.
Chu Lan looked at it, and the chopsticks stopped in the air, and they didn't put them in their mouths for a long time.
Xiaohuan inserted his waist again, looking at the man's embarrassed appearance and giggling, and now the whole wine shop is laughing loudly.
The man couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and he had practiced foreign kung fu for a few years, but he was suddenly knocked down by this little girl who had not yet reached his waist.
Chu Lan beckoned and motioned for the little girl to come over. "Girl, what's your name?"
The little girl came over reluctantly, pulling her little face, "What, why should I tell you, you also want to be like him?"
Chu Lan stretched out his finger and tapped the duck tongue in front of him, and said, "You tell me, I'll give you this plate of duck tongue!"
The little girl was suddenly interested, and her originally reluctant expression was instantly full of brilliance.
"Really?" Chu Lan nodded
"My name is Yang Huan, and I am the daughter of the shopkeeper of this wine shop, but he won't let me take anything from the back kitchen for the mud monkeys outside, so I can only secretly get a chicken leg for him."
Chu Lan said, "Then who taught you this handsome kung fu?"
Yang Huan listened to this brother's praise and suddenly blossomed, "No, I will tell you secretly, I will only use this trick, it was the mud monkey who taught me!"
Chu Lan wondered where this mud monkey was sacred, and he asked, "Is the mud monkey a person?
The little girl raised her eyebrows, "No, the mud monkey is the nickname I gave, and he is the old beggar at the door"
Chu Lan was shocked, would a person with this kind of kung fu become a beggar?
Yang Huan tugged at the corner of Chu Lan's clothes and begged, "Brother, can you give me a little of your wine, the mud monkey would rather not eat, but it can't be without wine, my trick is to steal my father's good wine, he taught me!"
Chu Lan was seen that she was now obediently completely different from her previous spicy appearance, and thought to herself, "I lost it, women are so terrible, and they change their faces quickly."
"Okay, then you take me to see if the mud monkey is good, you carry these dishes and I hold the wine, let's go and give it to him." ”
Yang Huan jumped up and "yes"
The man who was so suffocated that he pretended to be calm and ate, but in fact, he had been paying attention to this side, and saw Chu Lan and the little girl walking out of the door, and exchanged glances with the three friends who were traveling with him.
Of course, a few men who mingle together every day know what he thinks, "This little girl is the daughter of the shopkeeper, and she is too young to really touch her, otherwise some people will say that they bully the small with the big and have a bad reputation. ”
In their eyes, the "mud monkey" in the little girl's mouth was nothing more than a down-and-out old beggar who was addicted to alcohol. There are no so-called tricks at all, and most of Yang Huanxue's moves are taught by others.
Chu Lan was full of expectations, what kind of strange person is this "mud monkey"?
