Chapter 101: Secret Seeking Letters, Chasing and Killing Step by Step
It turned out that Miao Jin couldn't help but feel a little sour when she saw Aunt Du collecting debts, so she didn't care about resting and quietly took Du Miao to the town, planning to set up a stall to earn some silver taels. The two found a vacant lot in the street cross, Miao Jin waved his sword and danced, and Du Miao helped to beat the gong and shout on the side. Miaojin's performance was very exciting, and after a while, a large group of onlookers gathered in front of the stall.
Li Yunhan and Du Shaoling rushed to the stall and immediately understood, so they also helped shout and cheer.
Unexpectedly, a secret agent sent by Yan Guo also mixed in the crowd. He recognized Miaojin, watched for a while, and then quietly slipped away.
Miaojin danced and performed a sword dance, and the audience cheered and threw down copper coins when they saw this.
Shaoling was very excited when he saw it, and while picking up the coins, he joked to Miaojin: "I didn't expect that the girl who is usually pampered can also pull down her face and start this ...... of making a living."
"Anyway, being idle is idle, and it is two to earn two." Miaojin said calmly.
Li Yunhan glanced at the noisy crowd and frowned, "You are not afraid of being recognized......
"Don't worry, this place is remote, they won't find it!" Miaojin disagreed.
"After performing for so long, it's time to go back to the store and rest." Shaoling was holding a pile of coins and was happy, "Aunt Du is still waiting for Miao Miao to eat." ”
"Why don't you go back first?" Miaojin looked at the sky, "The people of the town are simple and hospitable, I can be a ...... alone"
"Come on, no matter how generous they are, it's not enough for Brother Li to eat a meal of flower wine." Du Shaoling muttered.
"Even if you're right, the money is for him to buy wine and drink." Miaojin smiled and asked Li Yunhan, "Is it enough?" ”
"Well, that's enough;" Li Yunhan took the money and said excitedly, "You wait, I'll go drinking." ”
Shao Ling was quite unhappy when he saw it, and walked away with his head drooping.
When passing by a steamed bun shop, Shaoling said that he was hungry, so he asked Li Yunhan for some money and entered the store, bought two cages of meat buns and ate them alone. After eating, he sat and waited for a while but still didn't see Li Yunhan coming, so he turned around to find Miaojin.
Miao Jin and Du Miao are still performing on the streets. Shaoling couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw it, so he came up with a plan, lying that a wild boar had just jumped out of the ditch, injured Li Yunhan, and asked her to help.
Miaojin was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly ordered Du Miao to clean up the venue and follow Shaoling out of the town.
When he reached a hillside, Shaoling stopped, and shouted while looking, "Brother Li, where are you?" ”
Miaojin looks around, but sees the trees on the slope are verdant and the red leaves are colorful, and the fragrance of flowers hits the heart. She looked carefully for a while, but she didn't find Li Yunhan's figure, so she asked Shaoling, "Where is Brother Li?" ”
"Lie to you." Shaoling saw that he couldn't hide it, so he picked a small red flower and handed it to her, "I'm afraid you're tired, so I made this little trick." ”
Miaojin was resentful when she heard this, threw the little flower on the ground, and said, "You dare to make fun of me!" ”
The two were arguing, and Li Yunhan rushed closer. When he understood the reason, he couldn't help laughing, saying that he asked Shaoling to do this. Although Shaoling understood that Yun Han was protecting him, he was still very aggrieved, and turned around and walked away in anger.
Li Yunhan looked at Shaoling's distant back and sighed lightly, beckoning Miaojin to sit down. He opened the package and handed her the newly bought braised chicken thighs. From the capital to the town of Liuhua, Miaojin rushed more than 30 miles, and with the strength of the sword dance, he was already hungry. She picked up a chicken leg and ate it with relish......
When night fell, a crescent moon hung on the willow tip at some point, and it was very quiet in all directions.
Miaojin snuggled in Li Yunhan's arms and said softly: "At the foot of Li Mountain, the fragrance of mountain flowers is intoxicating; The moon is bright in Chang'an, and the night is empty...... I really want to stay and live here for the rest of my life. ”
"Yes, it's quiet and romantic, and even the mountain songs are so simple and evocative." Li Yunhan echoed.
"Well, when we get old, let's build a few thatched huts on this slope, plant a piece of greens, and raise a flock of chickens and ducklings; The smoke is curling, the clouds are misty, you and a group of friends drink and write poems, and sing to the moon......"
"yes, we should have our own home, too." Li Yunhan hugged her tightly as he spoke......
Shaoling felt lonely because of the wrong, and walked alone along the river. The stars flickered overhead, the mountain wind blew, and the depression that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time also dissipated.
He walked for a while, and when he saw that it was getting late, he planned to go back to the inn to rest. As soon as I got on the road, I suddenly saw a group of men with knives and weapons in front of me, walking sneakily; He listened closely, and the group seemed to be going to the Pomegranate Inn...... Shaoling suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly returned from the original way to find Li Yunhan.
It turned out that this group of people was the killer brought by Suo Owl, and after finding out Miaojin's whereabouts, they wanted to come and kill her.
Suo Owl rushed into the Pomegranate Inn with the masked men, and they drove Aunt Du, Du Miao, Shi Nan, and seven or eight shopkeepers out of the house with knives and guns, and surrounded them in the small courtyard.
A masked man approached Suo Owl and said that he had searched carefully and had not found the woman surnamed Luo.
Suo Owl snorted, glanced at Aunt Du and the others, and shouted: "I repeat, hand over the woman surnamed Luo; Otherwise, none of you will want to live! ”
Aunt Du said loudly: "How many times have I said it, I don't know!" ”
"Really?" Suo Owl sneered, walked over to Shi Nan and picked him up, "This kid is very funny, he can talk ......"
"Stop!" Aunt Du shouted angrily, "Who are you? ”
"It doesn't matter who we are," Suo Owl laughed, grasping the heather and shaking it, "Say, where is she?" ”
Seeing that Shi Nan didn't say a word, Suo Owl was a little annoyed, and shouted: "If you don't want to say yes, then go with Lao Tzu." ”
The two masked men then stepped forward and set up the heather and left.
Aunt Du hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said, "Put him down, I'll go with you!" ”
"Tough woman, dare to play tricks with Lao Tzu!" With a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to burn the inn.
A masked man threw a torch into the roof, and the fire quickly grew stronger and stronger with the help of the wind, and soon the sky above the inn was filled with smoke.
Suo Owl glanced at Aunt Du and the others, and said with a cruel smile: "Say it, it's still too late." ”
Aunt Du, Du Miao and the others were relatively silent with cold eyes.
Looking at the flames in front of them, some shopkeepers couldn't help crying and wanted to go into the house to take out their things, but they were forced to stop by the gang with knives.
A bearded shopkeeper said with tears in his eyes: "My books, and those poems, are all gone." ”
"It's a pity, there's still five taels of silver under the pillow...... "Another thin shopkeeper sighed.
"The new clothes and hats that my mother sewn will be all destroyed;" A fat shopkeeper shouted at the owl, "Good man, please......"
Aunt Du took advantage of the unpreparedness of the group and dragged Shi Nan back hard.
The owl reached out to pull, but was bitten by Xiao Nan on the wrist.
Suo Owl was annoyed when he boarded, and pulled out his knife to cut Xiao Nan. Suddenly, the spotted flew straight down from the tree and pecked hard at the Owl's forehead.
Suo Owl said angrily: "Kill, kill all for Lao Tzu......"
Before the words fell, Li Yunhan, Miaojin and Shaoling rushed to the courtyard and fought with the masked gangsters.
The tenants were already red-eyed, and they picked up wooden sticks and farm tools one after another.
Although Li Yunhan and the others were numerous, because of their scruples, they were a little soft, and they soon fell behind and retreated from the courtyard to the outside of the hospital.
At the critical moment, I saw a horse flying, jumped off the horse, and slashed straight at the owl. It turned out that the person who came was Wu Qi; Yesterday, he went to Haiming Tower as promised, but he didn't see Li Yunhan; After returning to Zhiyuan, I waited for more than half a day, but there was still no news from the Master; Worried about what had happened, he hurried to the town of Pomegranate Blossom.
Suo Owl and Wu Qi fought for more than a dozen rounds, and his heart was timid, and his knife skills were also chaotic; Seeing that there were more and more villagers gathering, he gave an order and fled in panic with his subordinates.
The fire almost destroyed the entire inn, and everyone was heartbroken and lamented when they saw it.
Du Miao walked out of a pile of ruins, carried a big iron spoon and shovel in both hands, threw them on the ground, and said, "Mother, there are only these two valuable ones left......
Li Yunhan was very sour in his heart and apologized to Aunt Du: "It's all my fault that I'm late, I'm really sorry!" ”
"No, I'm the one who bothered everyone." Miao Jin's cheeks wet with tears.
"...... you" Aunt Du stared at Miaojin and asked sharply, "Say, why are they looking for you?" ”
"This ...... It was sent by Chu Qing and wanted to kill people. Li Yunhan said to Aunt Du.
"Chu Qing, who is he?" Aunt Du asked.
"Mother, don't ask, you'll understand later." Du Miao pulled Aunt Du down, with tears in her eyes, "The inn has been robbed like this, how can Mr. Li and Miss Luo not be heartbroken." ”
"It's a pity, what's the use, this is Aunt Du's half of her life's work!" Du Shaoling hugged Xiao Spot, lukewarm, "How will she live in the future!" ”
Aunt Du closed her eyes slightly and sighed: "Alas, what is the destiny ......?"
After being silent for a while, Li Yunhan comforted: "Aunt Du, don't be sad, one day I will help you open a new store." ”
Aunt Du glared at him fiercely when she heard this, and said, "I can't count on it; From now on, let's cut it in two and go our own way! ”
"Mother, I can't blame them." Du Miao caressed her lightly and said in a low voice, "When the child is older, he can help you chop wood, cook rice, and do laundry, and he will definitely be able to turn over in the future......"
Aunt Du listened to the tears, eased her expression and said sadly: "Alas, this pomegranate town can't be stayed, I'll take you back to Uncle Fanchuan's house." ”
Du Miao hesitated, saying that he wanted to stay and learn sword from Li Yunhan.
Seeing that Aunt Du was a little embarrassed, Li Yunhan hurriedly said: "Miao Miao and Xiao Nan are handed over to me, if you want to see them in the future, you can come to Zhiyuan at any time." ”
"Okay." Aunt Du stared at Li Yunhan for a while, and then changed her tone, "I'm sorry for the trouble." ”
After sending Aunt Du away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Qi took out the list of stolen officials from his arms and handed it to Li Yunhan.
Li Yunhan looked at it roughly, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and saw that the sky in the east was slightly bright, so he ordered Wu Qi to escort Xiao Nan and Du Miao back to Zhiyuan.
