Chapter Seventy-One: Caged Rice

Lin Hou was not originally a person who liked to be idle, but he didn't expect that he would be so busy as soon as he got busy. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info originally had a lot of things to do, and recently due to the transposition of the city lord, although many things more or less involved in the palace of the prison state, he still had the obligation to ask, but he didn't expect that his obligation would almost double the work at once, fortunately Snow Al is the imperial city, and there are many officials in the palace to help, otherwise she is afraid that she will be exhausted a long time ago, and his affairs are not only that, but also for His Royal Highness Ling Chen to try to touch the album carefully. However, even so, his accommodation still did not match his status, it was still a civilian courtyard where ordinary people lived, not that he did not have the financial resources to change to a residence worthy of his status, but that he really did not have time to do these idle things. But fortunately, Lin Hou really didn't spend much time in this house, at best, it was a place for Lin Hou to sleep peacefully, and most of his free time, Lin Hou would run back and forth between the palace, the casino, and the mansion of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and sometimes go to the tavern that His Royal Highness likes.

However, Lin Hou's affairs have suddenly decreased recently, because he knows that he has once again become the target of surveillance, so that he no longer has to go back and forth to the tavern-casino Lingchen residence. After a long absence, he returned to his home, accustomed to seeing the gorgeous decorations everywhere in the palace, Lin Hou sighed, not envious, but people's greed is not so easy to satisfy, even if it is easy to get it, but if there is no, there is nothing.

"You're back! it's so early today!" the old voice remembered from the room, and a middle-aged woman came out of the room.

"Mother, the city lord's candidate has been decided, so the matter on the city lord's side can be put aside for the time being. Lin Hou walked up to his mother as he spoke, and helped her to the living room.

"My family is getting more and more competitive, and your father would be proud of you if he knew!"

Lin Hou smiled lightly: "Mother, don't worry, the son will not disappoint his father." ”

The old woman nodded: "You came back early today, I haven't cooked dinner for you yet, you wait, I'll cook for you!"

"Don't bother, Mother, let's go out to eat!"

"It's too wasteful, and it costs a lot of money, and there are vegetables at home. ”

"It's out of the way, I can still afford this money. With that, he led the old woman out of the house, and the old woman saw that Lin Hou's attention had been decided, so she didn't say anything more, followed him to the carriage, and went all the way to the restaurant where Lin Hou frequented.

Skillfully ordered a table of delicacies, the mother and son enjoyed the dishes to the fullest, this time Lin Hou did not choose the private room upstairs as before, but looked around in the lively hall. He said to his mother: "Mother, you eat slowly, I seem to have eaten a little too much, I will go out and walk a few steps to digest and digest." ”

The old woman nodded lightly and continued to enjoy the delicious food, Lin Hou gently pulled her collar, walked out of the tavern, turned a street, and came to the thatched house in the depths of the alley, there was no one around, after all, the smell around here was not pleasant, if it wasn't uncomfortable, few people would walk here and rub their stomachs. frowned slightly, a black shadow behind him suddenly rushed out, although his figure was not as tall as Lin Hou, his speed was very fast, holding a dagger, there was no extra movement, and a sword stabbed at Lin Hou, but although Lin Hou was not as professionally trained as Ling Chen, he had also practiced, not to mention that he had already been alerted in advance, and suddenly turned around, and raised his hand to block the dagger in a reflex, but obviously this was a bit excessive, because when the black shadow came out, three werewolves behind the wall also jumped out, and one of them was keenly pressed the assassin to the ground: "It's you fox people again, it's a shame for us canines to be untrustworthy!" This werewolf is the black fur who has operated with lone wolves before, and the other two are naturally gray sideburns and brown whiskers.

"Don't kill him!" Lin Hou had just finished speaking, but dozens of people around him jumped up together. And not all of them are fox people, there are three humans among them.

Lin Hou frowned slightly, and the three werewolves were back to back, forming a triangle to surround Lin Hou in the middle to ensure Lin Hou's safety.

One of the humans stepped forward and looked at Lin Hou, "It seems that Lord Crimson's plan has been guessed by you!"

Lin Hou's brows furrowed even tighter, and this voice was very familiar to him: "You are Harold!!" This person Lin Hou can say that he will see every day, and it is his deputy who assists him in handling many things, in short, he is his secretary: "You are really the person arranged by the eldest prince to monitor me in the palace of the prison country!?"

Harold nodded noncommittally: "Lord Lin Hou, I still respect you very much, but if you are on the wrong team, you can't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Hey!" said Hei Mao while vigilantly guarding against the enemies around him, "Lin Hou, do you want to fight?"

"Look at the way they look, don't you plan to just let me go!"

"I didn't expect so many people!!" the black hair scolded in displeasure, "The smell here is too strong, and I can't tell the number at all." ”

"Can you deal with them, then?"

"It's okay to deal with them, but I can't guarantee your safety!!"

Lin Hou nodded: "It's okay, I still have some self-protection ability." ”

"That's good!" The black-haired hand waved, the sharp claws glowed with cold light, and the kick kicked the fox man who had just been submitted to the side: "Brothers, it's been a long time since I've had a good fight!!"

As soon as the words fell, the black hair rushed towards me Harold, the speed was so fast, even the well-trained Harold did not react, completely relying on the instinct of the body, raised the blade in his hand and didn't know if it was a crooked hit, just blocked the sudden claws, but although it blocked the attack of the black hair, but the overflowing power was still there, Harold had not yet reacted to what was going on on when he fell to the ground, he had already flown out and slammed on the ground.

But this is not a duel in the gladiatorial arena, Harold is not fighting alone, just after he was punched, the foxes around him did not only know the cheering and shouting like the audience in the arena, but did not hesitate to show their daggers and launched an attack on the black hair, worthy of the warrior of the dog clan, the black hair reacted quickly, turned around and knocked the dagger on the left to fly, but the two fists were invincible to the four hands, just when the black hair defended the left at the same time, slightly carelessly, his right side, was criticized for a knife, fortunately the knife was not deep, but the blood still flowed out of the wound。

Blood seemed to be particularly tempting to the werewolves, even if it was their own blood, it also had a different kind of beauty, and suddenly the eyes of the three werewolves became red, howling, and the obvious feeling of the body seemed to have become much larger. The power flowed, as if he had lost his mind, and with a reflexive claw, he suddenly pierced the chest of a fox man. However, it was clear that these nurses had already realized that they were going to die, and without the slightest fear, they continued to attack the werewolves, while the gray sideburns and brown beards did not freeze, and they tore into battle with the enemies around them.

Indeed, as Hei Mao warned Lin Hou at the beginning, once they really fought, they didn't have the kung fu to take care of him, but on the other hand, after the real fight, they were already exhausted at the moment when they were able to avoid the attacks of the three berserk werewolves and came to Lin Hou, and it was not difficult for Lin Hou to deal with them. But even so, after all, there are many people, and there are more and more wounds on the werewolf warriors.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gray Sideburns suddenly took out a firework from his arms and released it towards the sky, and suddenly his whole body was clear, although the sky has not been completely pressed now, but it is obvious enough.

Looking at the sparks in the sky, the assassins frowned, although at this time in the battle situation, they already had an advantage, and it was only a matter of time before they won the victory, but the gray sideburns obviously did not give them time to continue to consume.

Several foxes gradually exchanged glances with each other, took out their eyeballs from their arms and slammed them on the ground, and the smoke filled the air in an instant. By the time the smoke cleared, they had disappeared.

"Hmph! Running quite fast!" Hei Mao touched his wound and looked at Lin Hou: "Do you want to chase?, although we are at a disadvantage in such a spacious place, but when we really pursue, they are not our opponents!"

Lin Hou shook his head and looked around, the fighting had just begun, and the bodies of many injured and fainted assassins had been carried away, but the fox man who had assassinated him at the beginning was not rescued by them because he was too close to the position of the black hair: "It's enough." ”

"And what are we going to do with him?" asked Brownbeard, looking at the fox man.

Lin Hou bent down, squatting and looking at the fox man, the assassin fox man had already woken up, looking at him a little unwillingly, Lin Hou's eyes rolled: "You should be a member of the Crimson Blade, right?"

As soon as the four words of the crimson blade were spoken, the fox man's body trembled. Lin Hou had a certain number in his heart: "The spark of your talents, someone should come over after a while, take him away first, the lone wolf will come to you in a while, you can hand over this person to him!" I didn't expect it to become such a grappling fight.

After the werewolf left, Lin Hou didn't stay long, and returned to the tavern, where his mother was still tasting the dishes with relish.

"Hou'er, why is it so slow?"

"Mother, there are fireworks around here! I'm a little curious, today is not a day, who will set off fireworks so early, so I looked around, but I walked for a long time and didn't see anyone, until I got a smell of fireworks. ”

"I think you're mistaken!Come, the food is cold!!," said the old woman, putting the chicken on her plate into Lin Hou's bowl: "Do you know, when your father was young, he liked to go to the mountains to catch some pheasants and wild birds for me to make for him. ”

"Father still does these things?"

"Yes, it's not difficult, make some fragrant rice as feed, put it under the cage, cover it with sticks of wood, and the greedy pheasants and wild birds will run into the cage by themselves after a while. ”

Lin Hou smiled and thought for a while: "Then what if the prey that runs away is too big and breaks through the cage?"

"You're stupid, then change to a sturdier cage!"
