Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Chance Encounter with a Lotus
Dugushuo's early expectation of this store is by no means good.
When Dugu Shuo entered the wine shop, the store recognized the waist card of the internal guard at a glance, if it was normal, Dugu Shuo would not be suspicious.
But when Dugu Shuo forced the store to prepare a rope and fetch hot water, the store also complied, and did not report the news, thinking that the store must be sure enough to subdue Dugu Shuo.
Some officials will definitely think that there is an internal guard living in the store, and the store has naturally seen the internal guard waist card, but he never thought that when Dugu Shuo and others killed King Shao, the waist card and other things should be left in the internal guard division, and at this time he only had the waist card brought back from Yingzhou.
The waist badges of the internal guards, all of which are engraved with their names and official positions.
Dugu Shuo only glanced at the man, and he knew that Dugu Shuo was the leader, and he shouted one by one, Dugu Shuo naturally knew that this person was either familiar with him, or knew that he would come.
He remembered that when he was in Yingzhou, the secret guard also knew his portrait in advance and waited for him to come to the door.
But it was said that the shopkeeper suddenly pulled out an iron fan from his waist, jumped up and stabbed it straight over, and when he shot it, several silver needles came with him.
Dugu Shuo had already taken precautions, but he was afraid that the two would help each other, and one inside and one outside would trap him, but although the two cooperated, they were not fellow travelers.
When the store attacked, Dugushuo didn't forget to sneer a few words, and raised his knife to block the silver needle.
"Dugu Shuo, you have calculated everything, but you know that I am from that way, guess right, I will leave you with all your corpses!" The shopkeeper is extremely fast, the iron fan is equipped with a silver needle, and Dugu Shuo is in the circle.
"Thank you for your kindness, don't guess, you must be here to avenge King Shao, but using an iron fan as a weapon is really rare!" Dugushuo said.
The man saw that Dugushuo had guessed his identity and launched a ruthless attack.
I saw an iron fan like an umbrella cover, twisting Dugu Shuo's neck around, Dugu Shuo retreated, and resisted it with a thousand cow knife, the shopkeeper saw that Dugu Shuo was entangled in the iron fan, and hurriedly waved his sleeves and sacrificed several silver needles.
Dugu Shuo couldn't let go of his hand, but when he saw the dark table on the ground that was broken by the Jin Wuwei, he stepped on it hard, turned up half of it, and blocked the silver needles one by one.
The man saw that the silver needle was missing, and Dugushuo was trapped by the iron fan again, so he pulled out his palm to attack. Seeing the enemy, Dugu Shuo hurriedly retreated, deliberately putting his head against the doorpost, and the fan brushed the doorpost, and was split back by Dugushuo with a knife.
The shopkeeper rolled over and grabbed the iron fan, and stepped on it several times.
Dugu Shuo took advantage of his strength, turned his body, and was unstable in his lower position, and he couldn't protect it again, and was stepped out of the door.
Dugu Shuo took advantage of the momentum to roll out, breaking through the railing and wrapping his body around the pillar.
The man rushed out, the iron fan followed the silver needle, Dugu Shuo was busy making a move to "swim the dragon and lead the phoenix" to climb the pillar, the man stepped on the threshold, and attacked with strength.
Dugu Shuo saw that the time had come, blocked the silver needle and slashed it directly, the man held the fan horizontally, Dugu Shuo wiped the iron fan, pressed it down hard, the man opened the fan and swept it, and his left hand was a few silver needles and hidden weapons.
Dugu Shuo wrapped his legs around the pillar, bent down and raised his head to dodge, and the man stabbed again. Dugu Shuo only slid down the pillar and only landed in the hall downstairs.
The man took advantage of the situation to send a few silver needles, and Dugu Shuo stepped on the pillar and dodged backwards.
Seeing that the silver needle was missing, the man stopped on the pillar in mid-air, his eyes stared straight at Dugu Shuo, and Earl smiled: "What is the number one master of internal guards, it's nothing more than that!" ”
Dugu Shuo didn't pay attention to it, and slowly lowered his left hand.
The man took the lead, naturally pressed step by step, and then stepped on the pillar in the air, and stabbed straight over with the help of the fan, Dugu Shuo was not in a hurry, the knife was split, and then swept a knife, the man turned over and flashed, and then opened the fan to sweep.
Dugu Shuo saw that the fan method made by this person was mostly straight stabbing and sweeping, with silver needles, but he did not use silver needles for two tricks.
Then he pretended to attack his lower plate, the man hurriedly changed his tricks to protect, Dugu Shuo stopped and turned over, and a long knife in his left hand swept across his upper body in astonishment, the man was unexpected, and was injured by Dugu Shuo's left hand knife on his left arm, and hurriedly retreated.
"You, I didn't expect you to use a left-handed knife, it seems that I underestimated you!" The man covered his arm with one hand and said angrily.
Dugu Shuo didn't talk nonsense, seeing that his left arm was injured, he waved the knife left and right to attack, the man didn't care about his arm at all, jumped on the ground, and threw a fan in the air, the fan was like a windmill spinning and attacking, Dugu Shuo first lowered his head and flashed, and then turned around sharply, the knife in his left hand was back in the sheath, and then he held the knife with both hands, just waiting for the fan to rotate back, he used all his strength to volley down and split the iron fan into two petals.
When Dugu Shuo turned around, he secretly sent another silver needle, at that time, Dugu Shuo didn't care about the silver needle at all, and could only rely on luck, so he shook it hard and threw the scabbard to the back vest, and it happened that the silver needle was pierced on the scabbard.
The man saw that the two moves were not hit, so he wanted to snatch away, Dugu Shuo hurriedly set up a bow and shot arrows, several crossbow arrows came out in succession, and shot at the back of the man in unison, Dugu Shuo was afraid that the man would not die, so he hurriedly jumped and ran, but saw that the crossbow arrow hit the back vest.
Dugu Shuo tried that the man had no pulse before he put his mind at ease.
The silence was quiet, only the bright moon was in the sky, and the oil cup downstairs was about to run out.
Dugu Shuo collapsed and rested for a while, only to recover some strength slightly, then packed up a lot of things from the upstairs room, wrapped them, looked around for a long time, but there was no one in sight, it turned out that there were only those two people in this wine shop.
Then he kicked down the candlelight, and the house burned in an instant.
There was nothing to say that night, and after Dugushuo comforted Lin Feng and fell asleep, he buried himself in the desk and wrote all night.
said that early the next morning, Dugushuo asked for a fast horse from Wen Shuyan early and went straight to Langzhou.
The distance between Langwu and Langwu was not more than a hundred miles, but there was not much time left for Dugu Shuo at the moment, and if any of the three parties arrived earlier than he expected, then his plan would be in vain.
Dugushuo arrived in Langzhou and looked around for the inner guard pigeon house.
But I don't know who saw the pigeon house of Langzhou Neiwei at the beginning, according to the past practice, Dugushuo almost walked all over the market, but there was no trace.
Seeing that it was getting late, Dugushuo became anxious.
He hadn't eaten for a day, and Dugu Shuo was only dizzy from hunger.
He was walking lonely, and suddenly saw a filthy girl running towards him, Dugu Shuo couldn't help but think of Liu Lingwei's words, so he took out the only silver tael in his arms, and prepared to wait for the girl to approach, and give her charity.
Dugushuo stopped far away, just waiting for the girl to approach.
The girl staggered and her clothes were ragged, and Dugu Shuo was thinking about how to speak, but four or five people ran out from behind the girl, shouting and chasing after her.
Dugu Shuo was already indignant, and he couldn't vent the anger in his heart, but he saw a group of domestic slave-like people bullying a girl, so it became more and more difficult to control himself, and he pulled the girl behind him, put the silver in his hand, and then took three steps and made two steps, jumped straight up, and punched and kicked all the house slaves, and only a few people who were beaten fell to the ground crookedly, hugging their heads, faces, legs, and arms and crying.
Dugu Shuo patted the dirt on his body, crossed his hands around his waist, and shouted: "See if you dare to bully the weak in the future, hahaha!" With that, Hearty laughed happily.
When she turned over, the girl knelt down with difficulty and said, "Thank you for saving your life!" ”
Dugu Shuo only felt that this person's voice seemed familiar, so he half-squatted and tilted his head to look. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's really shocking when you look at it.
This girl is none other than Pei Ce's cousin He Huan's maidservant, whose name is Jihuan, and it was Miss He Huan who got her name.
Ji Huan raised his eyes and saw that it was Dugu Shuo, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Dugu Shuo's clothes and said, "Dugu Shuo Gongzi, go and save my young lady!" After that, he fainted, and only said this sentence, Dugu Shuo did not hear the truth.
When Dugu Shuo heard this, he was puzzled, but he couldn't wake up and send joy.
Dugu Shuo hurriedly put it on the ground and strode over to find those people, but those people saw Dugu Shuo, as if they had seen a demon, and ran away screaming.
Dugu Shuo shouted eagerly: "Hey, don't go, I have something to ask you!" Those people shouted for Dugu Shuo to wait, and sooner or later they cleaned him up, and they scattered one by one like birds and beasts.
Dugu Shuo had no choice but to turn around, pick up Jihuan, find a medical clinic in the market, put the broken silver on the counter, and urgently begged Lang Zhong for help.
When Lang Zhong felt his pulse, he learned that the girl was injured, and she felt cold again, and collapsed, and needed ginseng and other medicines to recuperate.
Dugu Shuo had no choice but to endure hunger, sell the horses, use them as capital, and beg Lang to be cured.
On the other hand, when Dugu Shuo was leaving, he said that he would return at night, but it was a day and a night, Lin Fengwan was anxious, so he begged Wen Shuyan to send two disciples to Langzhou to find Dugu Shuo.
The three of them were not familiar with Langzhou, and they only searched for half a day in the market before they found Dugushuo along the horses sold by Dugushuo.
He stood stupidly on top of the market, Lin Fengwan saw Dugushuo from a distance, rolled off the horse, rushed straight over, and hugged him tightly in his arms.
Lin Fengwan said with tears in his eyes: "How can you be so haggard one day!" After that, he held it in his arms again and looked at it carefully for a long time.
I didn't eat water and rice for a day and a night, and I was worried about the pigeon house, Dugushuo was already muddy, haggard and old.
When I saw Lin Fengwan, I cried like a child.
Lin Feng persuaded him for a long time, and then took him to eat again, and it was only slightly better at noon.
While eating, Dugu Shuo suddenly remembered something, took Lin Fengwan's hand and left, and waited until he arrived at the hospital and saw He Huan's maidservant, so he told everything about the past two days.
Because there was no money, Lang Zhong did not heal Jihuan properly.
However, Lin Fengwan also sprinkled it, picked up a knife and slashed, smashing the tables and chairs in the medical hall, and raised the knife to cut at the people in the medical hall, only to frighten the doctors in the medical hall to kneel and beg for mercy one by one.
Only then did he make ginseng soup and save Jihuan's life.
It was also thanks to Lin Feng's late appearance that he was saved.
Wen Shuyan asked the two disciples to look at Jihuan, Lin Fengwan and Dugu Shuo searched for the inner guard pigeon room everywhere, but it was the flag that they had never seen after all.
It wasn't until it was getting late that the two returned to the hospital.
When Jihuan woke up for a long time, he couldn't see Dugushuo, he only cried and didn't dare to speak.
After seeing Dugu Shuo, he knelt down and said, "I beg Dugu Gongzi to go and rescue my young lady!" When Dugu Shuo heard this, he hurriedly helped him up and said, "What's wrong with your young lady, why are you not in Shendu, here you are!" ”
Na Ji Huan hurriedly said: "It's important to save Miss first, he was robbed by Hu Yanei, and he will go to the church tonight to get married!" ”
Dugushuo listened to it, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
