Chapter 52: There is no danger
Seeing the sharp sword stabbing at her, Jiang Wan subconsciously closed her eyes, after all, Jiang Wan knew that she shouldn't be able to dodge, and she wasn't interested in seeing her blood splashed on the spot.
The reason why Jiang Wan thought like this was because there was really no one here who could come to save her in time now, although Lan Yu was also present, but she was also fighting with others now, so she must not be able to catch up.
012 and Jiang Wan were both ready to fail in the mission, and then rewind and start over, as for the pain when being stabbed by the sword, Jiang Wan thought, isn't there 012? It's going to give itself a lot of pain.
But Jiang Wan waited for a while, as if she didn't feel anything, on the contrary, she also smelled a strong smell of blood, she couldn't help but open her eyes, and actually found that the person who was going to kill her just now was dead and was now falling in front of her.
It turned out that just now, seeing that the other party's sword was about to stab Jiang Wan's body, at the last moment, a sharp sword suddenly passed directly from behind the man, and before the man could stab the sword in his hand at Jiang Wan, he spat blood and fell in front of Jiang Wan.
A large stream of blood flowed out of his body, eventually mixing with the dirt on the ground, so Jiang Wan smelled a strong smell of blood.
Everyone present was stunned by this change.
Could it be that the Cheng'an Hou Mansion sent someone to rescue them? Everyone present thought of this in unison.
And looking at Jiang Wan, who was looking at the fallen corpse in front of her, she subconsciously looked in front of her, and actually saw the servant Li Cheng, who was said to be temporarily recruited by the Hou Mansion.
"These days, temporary servants, is the martial arts so good?" Jiang Wan couldn't help but ask 012 in her heart.
Seeing all this 012 in front of him, it didn't know how to explain it to the young lady, so it had to be shocked and said, "Little sister, people don't know very well, perhaps, it's just an accident."
"Okay." After listening to 012's explanation, Jiang Wan could only answer like this, after all, she really didn't know what to say.
But to talk about why Li Cheng is here, everything has to start a few days ago.
A few days ago, Li Cheng had indeed left Changzhou City according to his plan, but after he left Changzhou City, he had planned to find his junior brother Yuan Wei, but on the way to find it, he was accidentally deceived and lost all his money.
As the saying goes, a penny is difficult to beat a hero, because there is no financial support, so Li Cheng had to return to Changzhou City.
Originally, he planned to go back to Weiguo's camp to get his money and leave, but as soon as he walked into the woods outside Changzhou City, before he could return to Weiguo's camp, he saw Jiang Wan fighting with people from a distance, and seeing that Jiang Wan was about to be killed, he didn't have time to see who the person who was fighting with Jiang Wan was, so he directly threw a sword over and stabbed the person to death.
And when it comes to why Li Cheng will be deceived, it can be traced back to the source, which has nothing to do with Xu Zi, who deceived Jiang Wan at the beginning.
At the beginning, Li Cheng finally arrived in another city, but he happened to meet Xu Ziwei who was studying here, and in the same scene, as soon as Li Cheng entered the city, Xu Ziwei saw that he was not a local.
After Xu Ziwei's fanciful touting, Li Cheng chose to let Xu Ziwei be his tour guide here.
In fact, Li Cheng didn't want Xu Ziwei to be his tour guide, but he was a complete foodie, and when Xu Ziwei said that there were many local specialties, Li Cheng's eyes seemed to be shining.
Looking at Li Cheng's eyes that lit up when he heard the food, Xu Ziwei seemed to have found the password to get rich.
For a long time in the future, Xu Ziwei really used all the words he could think of to introduce the local food, which was called a skyscraper, and the locals wanted to taste it after hearing it, and then after eating, they wondered if there was such a delicacy in the local area.
It is conceivable that in this case, Li Cheng naturally chose to hire Xu Ziwei as his tour guide for the sake of food.
You may have doubts, even if there are many local delicacies, Li Cheng can completely not hire Xu Ziwei and find those by himself
The shop, and then taste the food, why do you have to hire Xu Ziwei?
All thanks to Xu Ziwei's eloquence.
In the conversation between Xu Ziwei and Li Cheng, Xu Ziwei fooled Li Cheng into thinking that if Xu Ziwei, a local, led the way, he would definitely not be able to find those places, and then he would miss a lot of delicacies.
As for whether Xu Ziwei is a local, we can't verify this, and as for Li Cheng, we don't know Xu Ziwei's origin.
And as soon as he heard that if he had no one to lead the way, he might miss out on so many delicacies, Li Cheng agreed to Xu Ziwei to be his tour guide after some thought.
After the two reached an agreement, Xu Ziwei immediately asked Li Chengxian for his reward, Li Cheng still had a lot of money in his hand at that time, and he himself was not afraid that Xu Ziwei would deceive him, so he paid Xu Ziwei the money very happily first. new
But Li Cheng never imagined that in the next time, Xu Ziwei took himself to a dilapidated street and took him to eat a bowl of clear soup noodles here.
It is not unacceptable for him to eat clear soup noodles, after all, he had tasted the noodles made by Jiang Wan before, even if there were not too many condiments in it, it still tasted delicious, and even made him make the decision to resign from the prince's mansion in order to eat the food cooked by Jiang Wan.
Although Li Cheng's choice to resign from the Prince's Mansion was not all because of Jiang Wan, it is undeniable that Jiang Wan's cooking did play a big role.
Li Cheng's requirements for rice are actually not so high, but when he saw that Xu Ziwei's bowl actually had minced meat, but there were only a few slices of coriander in his bowl.
Li Cheng was not calm, he couldn't help but ask, "Why do I only have a few slices of coriander in my bowl, and you still have minced meat in your bowl?"
Hearing Li Cheng's question, Xu Ziwei stopped eating noodles, and he thought about it and explained.
"You don't know this, the essence of this bowl of noodles is actually in this noodle soup, and these in my bowl are actually cumbersome.
Li Gongzi, as my employer, how can I make you worry about these burdens? So I'm going to take it upon myself to remove these burdens for you, and I don't have to thank me, it's what I should do."
As soon as the words fell, Xu Ziwei went to eat the bowl of noodles in front of him.
And Li Cheng, who listened to Xu Ziwei's words, looked at Xu Ziwei's appearance of eating noodles, he just wanted to say, don't have to, I really thank you!
However, Li Cheng saw that things had become like this, and he was embarrassed to let Xu Ziwei buy another bowl of noodles for himself, so he ate the noodles with clear soup and little water.
But this bowl of noodles is down, he really convinced Xu Ziwei, he has eaten so many delicacies from the mountains and seas, he swears that he has never eaten such tasteless rice as today.
As a senior foodie, Li Cheng would never allow himself to accept such an unpalatable meal, so he chose to leave directly.
Seeing Li Cheng's posture of leaving, Xu Ziwei didn't care about the noodles he hadn't finished eating, he hurriedly grabbed Li Cheng and asked:
"Why is Li Gongzi leaving? I haven't finished eating yet, why don't you wait for me a little longer? When I'm done, I'll take you on to experience the city's many delicacies?"
Hearing Xu Ziwei's words, Li Cheng couldn't help but speak.
"Just from this meal, I can see that you don't know what food is, and you said you want to take me to experience the food in this city? I'm not afraid of lying and being struck by lightning.
Anyway, you can't take me to eat what I want, so I might as well find it myself, and we'll see you indefinitely." With that, Li Cheng shook off Xu Ziwei's hand and walked out.
But Li Cheng just walked a few steps, but Xu Ziwei stopped Li Cheng again, seeing this scene, Li Cheng couldn't help but ask: "You stopped me at this time, do you really want to tell me, can you really take me to eat delicious food later?"
Li Cheng's face was full of disbelief, and the whole person's facial expression seemed to say, "No, no, does Xu Jing really know the location of any food?"
That's right, this time Xu Ziwei still didn't tell Li Cheng his real name,
Just like when he met Jiang Wan, Xu Ziwei also told Li Cheng that his name was Xu Jing, so in Li Cheng's heart, Li Cheng always thought that Xu Ziwei's name was Xu Jing.
But what Li Cheng didn't expect was that Xu Ziwei was worthy of Xu Ziwei, he really didn't come to tell Li Cheng that he was going to take Li Cheng to eat food, he just asked such a question.
"But didn't Gongzi Li give me a gratuity before, so I don't know what Gongzi Li has to say about this gratuity?"
After hearing Xu Ziwei's words, Li Cheng immediately said that he was not short of the money, and he would not ask about the whereabouts of the money in the future.
Xu Ziwei, who got Li Cheng's assurance, immediately let Li Cheng go, and then happily went to eat noodles.
Oh roar, I made another windfall today, happy, Xu Ziwei thought in his heart.
Because of this happiness, Xu Ziwei also specially asked the boss to add another poached egg to his noodles.
And Li Cheng, who had just left here, had just left the dilapidated alley when he found that his money bag was gone.
After thinking about it, he realized that when he was in the alley just now, he seemed to have collided with a passerby, but he didn't care at the time, and the money bag might have been stolen at that time.
Thinking that his money bag was actually stolen, Li Cheng was really angry, and his martial arts were not bad! How can you not even find out that your money bag has been stolen?
But now it makes no sense to say all this, and the person who stole his money now must have run away a long time ago, and it is estimated that he will not be able to find it back.
Li Cheng thought about it, he originally wanted to go back to the Weiguo camp outside Changzhou City and bring out some of his money, after all, after he came out of Changzhou City at that time, he did not go back to the camp to take some of the money he had saved.
The reason why he didn't go back to the camp to pack his things after coming out of Changzhou City was because he still had a lot of money on his body and felt that he should be able to last until he found his junior brother, and on the other hand, he was also afraid of meeting his former colleagues, after all, they had worked together for so long.
But now that his money has been stolen, it seems that he has to go back, Li Cheng thought in his heart.
