Chapter 58: The Lion Tower
"Great officials...... Ximen Qing and his acquaintances went to the big restaurant under the Lion Bridge to have a drink. ”
Now that you know Ximenqing's whereabouts, the next thing will be easy to do.
And the dog thief actually went to drink, Li Zhengyi couldn't help but feel that God really helped me.
In order to prevent this guy from leaking the news, Li Zhengyi did not let him go directly, but tied him in the alley with the belt on the guy's body, and his mouth was also covered with a rag, and it is estimated that he will be found when there are many people after a while.
Without hesitation, he walked out of the alley and headed in the direction of the Lion Bridge.
There are more pedestrians on the streets, and although the weather is getting cooler, passers-by still stop to talk and laugh and say hello.
A man with a bamboo pole, a straw hat, and a shabby gray linen garment hurried through the crowd.
Li Zhengyi soon arrived at his destination, the Lion Bridge is a stone arch bridge, and a pair of mighty stone lions stand at each end of the bridge.
In the southwest corner under the Lion Bridge, there is a magnificent wooden restaurant.
It can be seen that the business of this restaurant is good, even if it is not long after noon, there are already many customers coming and going.
The shouts of the shopkeeper and the chatter and laughter of the guests drinking and playing came one after another, attracting some passers-by in cloth clothes to stop, and then left with a sigh.
"Is the Ximen official available?"
Li Zhengyi grabbed a small shop guy who was hurriedly greeting customers and asked, the other party saw his dress, and thought that he was a medicine picker, and he had medicinal materials to sell to Ximen officials.
said perfunctorily: "The official of the West Gate is in the private room upstairs, you can find it yourself." ”
After the second child finished speaking, he was busy greeting the others, Li Zhengyi glanced at the position of the stairs but did not go up, but turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
He doesn't have the strength to kill Ximenqing head-on like Wu Song, so he has to choose a more secure method.
After going out, he didn't leave, but sat down against the corner next to the door of the restaurant.
Li Zhengyi was half-lying there, with a straw hat buttoned on his head, a tough bamboo pole in his hand, and some shabby clothes on his body.
Someone was passing by, thinking that he was a flower who asked for food, and ignored him.
Li Zhengyi was also happy that no one disturbed him, listening to the movement at the door of the restaurant, while staring at the various people coming and going, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He kept rubbing his hands together and carried a large rusty iron cone in his arms, which he used to temporarily replace his spear.
He still understands the principle that an inch is long and an inch is long, especially for a novice like him who doesn't have much martial arts.
The spear that he originally bought from Master Liu from the blacksmith shop was taken away by the government, so he hurried to get a simple substitute for himself temporarily.
The rusty iron cone and the tough bamboo pole were originally available at home, and he made a gap at the end of the bamboo pole, inserted the iron cone into it, and then fixed it with iron wire to form a simple spear.
Now the head of the spear is hidden in his arms, and the other end is exposed, making others think that it is just an ordinary bamboo pole.
I've been waiting for more than half an hour, and no one has come out, and Li Zhengyi's heart is slowly a little impatient.
But thinking of the fact that he had prepared and experienced so many things before, now there was only a tremor left, and no matter what, he had to wait.
The sun became warmer and warmer, and Li Zhengyi relaxed again, lying there quietly motionless, as if others were passing by, thinking that he was asleep.
"Let's go~"
"See you again at the Great Officials of Simon."
At this moment, from inside the door of the restaurant, there was a familiar voice that made him grit his teeth.
It's Ximenqing, that guy is coming out!
Li Zhengyi sat up slightly straighter, holding the bamboo pole in his arms tightly with both hands, and his heart began to beat faster.
"There are a lot of officials in Ximen!"
"Ah, Master Lin is also massive, and massive. Zhang's main book is higher, haha! ”
Through the gap in the straw hat, I saw Ximen Qing hugging two men in fancy clothes who were older than him, swaying out of the restaurant.
A few people laughed loudly at the door of the restaurant and prepared to say goodbye, but no one cared about Li Zhengyi, who was dressed as a flower on the side.
"Simon official, goodbye."
"Ah, goodbye, goodbye. Zhang Master Book, goodbye. ”
Seeing that they were about to get into the carriage with the help of the little guys beside them, Li Zhengyi thought that the opportunity was waiting for no one, so he got up silently in the eyes of everyone.
Without questioning or other nonsense, he clenched the bamboo pole with both hands, and stabbed the other rusty iron cone at Ximenqing's back and fiercely.
Ximenqing was facing away from him at this time, which was originally a foolproof thing, but it changed in Li Zhengyi's incredible gaze.
That Ximenqing slipped under his feet because of drunkenness, and his body was crooked, and he actually dodged Li Zhengyi's all-out shot.
"Ah~"
"Get out of the way!"
Passers-by next to them exclaimed, and when they saw that there were villains, people pulled and quickly avoided them.
Seeing that there was an iron cone more than a foot long, brushing past his waist, Ximenqing was scared into a cold sweat at the same time, and most of his drunkenness woke up.
He had been practicing his fists and kicks for many years, coupled with the explosion before he died, he actually grabbed the iron awl and threw it into the distance in the blink of an eye.
While dodging, he turned around and saw Li Zhengyi, whose straw hat had been turned up, revealing his face, and exclaimed: "It's you?!" ”
Why did Li Zhengyi come to kill Ximenqing in such a hurry on the second day of escape, in order to make him panic and unprepared.
lest after a long time see that his subordinates have not come back to restore their lives, this guy will realize that something is wrong.
Originally, everything else was calculated, but I didn't expect Ximenqing to slip under his feet inexplicably and dodge it.
Isn't the dog thief's life yet dead? Li Zhengyi's expression was extremely unwilling.
"Come on, catch this fugitive with me!"
Ximen Qing saw that Li Zhengyi had no blade in his hand, so he shouted and asked the others around him to arrest him together.
Where there is life, there is hope. Seeing that it couldn't be done, Li Zhengyi was ready to find an opportunity to escape.
At this moment, a splash of yellow liquid suddenly poured straight on Ximenqing's head from above.
Thinking about it, it was fate, that Ximen Qing liked to play with women, and the thing that fell on his head was the golden water that fell from the woman upstairs in the brothel next to him.
"Ahh It stinks! ”
The foul-smelling filth not only drenched Ximenqing with a soup chicken, his eyes were blurred and he couldn't see, but also made the people around him subconsciously avoid him.
Exactly now! God help me!
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could Li Zhengyi give it up.
I saw him leap towards Ximen Qing suddenly, and as soon as he grabbed his hands at his waist, two swords flashing with cold light appeared.
He used his front foot as the axis, his back foot exerted force, and the double sword in his hand swept with all his might.
The sword in his left hand swept away the villains who surrounded him, and the sword in his right hand swept over Ximenqing's neck with a strong wind.
"Ah!!h
Amid the terrified shouts of the people around it, a large head rushed into the sky, then fell to the ground again, rolling around a few times before stopping.
