Chapter 435: Standing on the sidelines
In the Guihe Tower, Gongsun Cheng and Chi Cangping are still here as scheduled today, and the people who like to listen to the lively rivers and lakes are also full, and they have also hired a storyteller, so that everyone must listen to it to the fullest.
This is the third day of their layout, and Gongsun Cheng's heart is always worried, worried that this little demon girl will not come, and worried that people are coming, but he may not be able to take it.
Although Chi Cangping repeatedly assured him that there would be no accidents, after a long time, Gongsun Cheng always felt a little weak in his heart.
On this night, Guihelou was still full of people, and the shopkeeper was smiling, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when someone gave him a few days of good business.
In order to thank Gongsun Cheng and earn some reputation for his restaurant, the shopkeeper took out a collection of fine wine and gave it to the guests tonight.
The shopkeeper who came to the cellar to get wine with two men in person, felt a pain in his neck the moment he opened the door, and then his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
With a few plops, the shopkeeper and his men fell together, and Qu Lianqin emerged from the shadows behind them, she retrieved the silver needle that had fallen on the necks of the men, and dragged them into the corner.
When she came out again, she had already put on her man's clothes, and went to the back kitchen to call a few helpers to get the drinks out, while she herself took the opportunity to go into the kitchen again and manipulate the dishes.
At this time, the front is still very lively, Guihelou brought wine to help the fun, which made everyone interested, except for Gongsun Cheng and his party, almost everyone was immersed in this cheerful atmosphere.
Although Gongsun Cheng mingled with everyone on the surface, he actually had a heart hanging on his heart, and he was paying attention to the surrounding situation at any time, only to hear a snap, a man slipped off the chair, causing everyone to be stunned, and then laughed out loud.
This seemed to be drinking too much, but Gongsun Cheng was in a heartbeat, stepped forward to help him up, and at the same time secretly took the pulse of the other party, this time, his eyes changed slightly.
He put the man down with a smile, and said with a smile around him: "This brother has drunk too much, which friend is on the same road with him, don't forget to bring him back later." ”
Everyone laughed, this matter did not cause any waves, Gongsun Cheng, who returned to his position, lowered his head and checked the wine in front of him, and said in a low voice to Chi Cangping next to him: "Nameless brother, that person was poisoned just now, but it will not endanger his life." ”
Then, he vaguely glanced at the drinks and dishes in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I have also checked before, this wine and food should be fine, you say, could it be an accident?" ”
"Don't be careless young master, this little demon girl is cunning and abnormal, and most of the things she does are absurd, it is not surprising what kind of arrangement she makes, I expect that she is nearby, the young master must not make a big fuss, so as not to startle the snake."
After Chi Cangping finished explaining, he changed the wine in front of him again, and when he went out, he had to pay attention to what he ate and drank, although they beckoned others to eat and drink, but he never moved.
To put it utilitarianly, this group of people is completely the bait that Chi Cangping used to lure out Qu Lianqin.
Of course, Gongsun Cheng also knew this, but he still felt guilty, so he was just sure that this poison would not endanger his life, so he came back with confidence.
Although it is to deal with the Demon Dao, but this practice of not hesitating to use others still makes Gongsun Cheng a little difficult to accept, although he knows the truth of rushing to power, but he still has some concerns in his heart.
"Nameless brother, otherwise I'd better go and take a look at that person again, maybe I'm wrong, that little demon girl shouldn't be so clumsy." Gongsun Cheng looked at Chi Cangping with some hesitation and said.
Chi Cangping stopped in a low voice: "Young master, don't, if you go again, I'm afraid you will be exposed, and if you let that little demon girl escape, it will be a failure." ”
Gongsun Cheng hesitated for a while, but finally nodded, and continued to push the cup with the people around him.
Chi Cangping didn't show it on his face when he saw this, but he looked down on this Gongsun Cheng in his heart, the most taboo thing in the rivers and lakes was to be timid, and he did everything, and then he remembered benevolence, righteousness and morality, which was both hypocritical and timid.
Everyone in the audience was drunk, and the mouth was naturally all kinds of belittling and insulting to the little demon girl, and a scholar dressed as a Jianghu was about to get up and speak, when he suddenly saw a rough and hairy big hand climbing on his waist, and suddenly there was a chill.
"What do you do!" He couldn't help but curse out in annoyance, only to see that the man who was pestering him had red eyes and panting in his mouth, as if he was a little confused.
Just as the hungry wolf saw raw meat, the man's eyes were full of aggression, and the scholar couldn't stop getting goosebumps, as if he was infected by that gaze, and he also felt a strange stream of heat begin to rush straight to his brain.
The movements of the two seemed to have turned on some switch, and in the next moment, there were people at all tables in the field who lost their temper and fell into this strange confusion.
When Gongsun Cheng found out, he only felt that he wanted to gag, this must be the masterpiece of the little demon girl, but he didn't expect that the other party was not poisonous, but medicine.
This increasingly spicy picture also evoked some embarrassing memories for Chi Cangping, and he got up to protect the overwhelmed Yan'er on the side, nervously looking around him.
I only heard a clattering sound in the midst of the commotion, and the person who scolded the most in the scene suddenly fell straight down, with blood all over his forehead.
It was a wine jug that attacked him, and the person who did it was Qu Lianqin, who was standing at the entrance with a large and generous attitude, and this time she didn't even disdain to disguise, and showed her true appearance openly.
"Auntie and grandma are also what you can scold, hum!"
Qu Lianqin floated in, stepped on the heads of several confused Jianghu guests, stopped beside the man who fell to the ground, and the silver needles between his fingers were thrown out awe-inspiringly, falling between the eyes and throat of the man, not taking his life immediately, but making him no longer able to see or speak.
"Everyone's worried! It's the little demon girl who is coming! Chi Cangping forced his composure and shouted.
Not everyone who has been drugged, those with high martial arts, those who drink less, or those who have different physiques can escape, and there are still seven or eight people in the field who can still stay awake at this time.
Listening to Chi Cangping's shouting, everyone didn't know that they had fallen for the trick of the demon girl, and in shame, they took out their weapons and surrounded them.
"The demon girl is rampant!"
Several people put on a posture and attacked Qu Lianqin, and the two sides fought together.
Gongsun Cheng in the back also wanted to join the battle, but was stopped by Chi Cangping vaguely, and he whispered: "Young master, there are a lot of ways to play that piano, let your colleagues block it for us for a while." ”
"This, how can it be" Gongsun Cheng seemed to hesitate, but in fact he was shaken violently.
Chi Cangping secretly disdained, and continued to persuade: "Young master, don't mind, we are all to ensure that this demon girl is captured, this is a strategy, not an intention to avoid war." ”
That's right." Gongsun Cheng gritted his teeth, stopped, and watched the battle intently.
It was obviously a killing game planned by the two of them, but when the demon girl appeared, they retreated to the rear and let others go up to fight first, which was too real and hit Yan'er's heart fiercely.
She is unfamiliar with the rivers and lakes, but for her own young master, she has always felt that the other party must be the kind of righteous chivalrous warrior in the book, but now the other party's actions feel a little unspeakable.
