Chapter 32: Borrowing an umbrella

"Oh, thanks for the reminder. Ji Chazhi answered, and looked straight at Liu Quan's waist, "By the way, Mr. Liu, I don't know how much bounty you took for sending those horse thieves to the government?"

Liu Quan replied: "Although those horse thieves are small characters, once they are interrogated, they have confessed to many cases, many of which are unsolved cases related to the merchants of Ziyun City. The local governor was overjoyed, and rewarded me with a small bag of gold leaves, which was worth two or three hundred taels of silver. ”

Ji Cha chuckled lightly and said, "I thought that you would not ask for other people's silver rewards!"

Liu Quan shook his head again: "I don't want to reward silver, I can only win a false name by myself." I asked for a reward, but it can encourage more people to act bravely, which is more beneficial to the people. ”

"Yo, the truth is really a set. Ji Cha stretched out his hand directly, "But the reward should not belong to you in the first place, it's your turn to decide whether or not to give back the reward!" and pushed the plate containing the last fire in front of Liu Quan: "For the sake of your hard work, I invite you to eat a fire." ”

Liu Quan was stunned, only to say that this Miss Ji Chen was sour and more than she imagined, but she was such a beautiful girl, and she couldn't get the slightest fire. The corners of his mouth twitched, and a difficult smile was pulled, he handed out the money bag on his waist with one hand, picked up the fire with the other, stared at the fire and sighed: "Alas, I have never eaten such an expensive fire." ”

"Brother Liu, you hurry up and eat. Hong Chen said, "When the fire is cold, the skin will not be crispy." ”

Liu Quan smiled bitterly twice, finally opened his mouth and took a bite of the fire, chewed it twice, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "It's really delicious!"

Ji Cha sighed again and said, "I thought that you would be able to chant two lines of poetry even if you eat a donkey fire with a stomach full of sour ink, but it turns out that you will only say 'delicious'." ”

Liu Quan knew that if he returned the mouth, he would usher in a few words of cynicism, so he honestly ate the fire and did not speak.

Ji Cha snapped his fingers and asked the guy to serve two more bowls of green onion and egg soup, one bowl for himself and Hong Chen, and one bowl for each of them, leaving Liuquan to chew and burn alone. Liu Quan's mouth was dry, so he had to find five more copper plates and ask the guy to serve a bowl to himself.

As soon as the man put down the soup bowl, Liu Quan had not time to pick up the spoon, only to hear a sudden commotion upstairs, many people shouting loudly, but soon it was quiet again.

The diners on the first floor didn't know what was going on and stared curiously at the staircase. After twenty or thirty breaths, a figure finally came down the stairs.

"Ahh

Many female guests screamed, and the male guests turned pale one by one. The spoon in Liu Quan's hand fell to the table, Ji Cha didn't care about taunting him, and his expression froze. Hong Chen turned his back to the stairs, and saw that the two of them had abnormal expressions, so he turned around blankly, but saw that the woman who went upstairs at that time had already returned to the first floor.

I saw some blood stains on her gray and white clothes, the color was as bright red as the red silk around her waist, and she was holding a bloody human head in her right hand, and there were blood beads dripping down the steel claws of her left hand.

Someone pointed to the human head and exclaimed, "Isn't that Elder Fang?" At this time, a group of Jianghe gangs walked down the stairs and followed the woman, and when they were still far away from the woman, their footsteps slowed down suddenly, and their legs trembled, as if they didn't dare to approach her at all.

The woman stopped in the middle of the hall, followed by the river gangs behind her. The woman slowly raised her head, as if to make it clear to everyone. She opened her lips that were as red as flames, but her voice was as cold as her eyes: "Jianghe Gang Fang Yaohai is actually an elder of the Demon Sect's Dongshui Palace twenty years ago, and now he has been ambushed. Dayu Tianzi, Shenwen Shengwu, all the people look up to virtue, and his achievements cover thousands of years. Anyone who has a relationship with the Demon Sect is an enemy of the Son of Heaven and an enemy of the people of the world. ”

The hall was silent, and many people did not dare to say a word even though they had objections in their hearts, looking at the bloody head in the woman's hand. The woman slowly lowered her right hand and continued to walk out with her head on her head, and when she passed by the door, her footsteps suddenly stopped.

Ji Cha was only three feet away from her, and when she saw this, she thought she was recognized, her heart was beating wildly, and she almost wanted to jump up and run away. But the woman only stopped for a moment and stepped out of the door, and Ji Cha finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This woman is really ......"

As soon as Ji Cha wanted to whisper a few words, he felt another person standing beside him, and at a glance, he saw the steel claw, and he was shocked that he had pinched the silver needle in his hand. Hong Chen heard what Liu Quan said, this woman was Ying Hailan of the Imperial Sword Hall of the Guiyi Division, and when he saw her go and return, he also thought that he and Ji Cha were recognized, but there was no knife at hand, so he grabbed the soup spoon and prepared to fight.

The steel claws suddenly stretched out on the table, and Ji Cha was about to shoot out the silver needle, but he heard a cold voice sound again: "The umbrella I brought when I came was stolen outside the inn, Liu Shaoxia, borrow your umbrella from me." ”

Although Ji Cha couldn't believe his ears, when he heard this, he felt that a mountain pressing on his heart disappeared in an instant, and his hands couldn't help but slap his thighs, but he pierced half of the silver needle that had just been sandwiched between his fingers, and he didn't dare to shout out in pain, and he grinned for a while.

Hong Chen also put the spoon back into the soup bowl. Liu Quan got up and took the umbrella and handed it to the steel claw.

Ying Hailan asked again: "These two are Liu Shaoxia's friends?"

Liu Quan nodded, "Yes." This girl is Miss Ji Chen, and her family has a business in Ziyun City. The brother's name is Black Tea and he is her bodyguard. He also said to Ji Cha and Hong Chen: "This is Lord Ying Hailan Ying, I met her when I escorted the horse thief to the security mansion." Lord Ying is a heroine who has only joined the Guiyi Division in the past two years, but she has made a lot of fame in Tianzhou and northern Yunzhou. ”

Ji Cha lowered his head and laughed twice, and reluctantly pulled out the silver needle that had pierced his thigh. Hong Chen stood up and saluted. Ying Hailan nodded slightly, and then said to Liu Quan again: "Liu Shaoxia and the others are free, but you can go to the public security mansion to ask me for an umbrella." ”

Liu Quan waved his hand and said, "It's just an umbrella, and it's a gift for Lord Ying." ”

Ying Hailan shook her head: "I never accept other people's things in vain, you must come and get them." ”

Liu Quan had no choice but to nod yes again.

"Then I'm leaving. ”

Ying Hailan walked out of the inn with an umbrella, and her back gradually disappeared in the rain. Only then did the gang members of the Jianghe Gang dare to speak out one after another: "It's so fucking scary! That woman screwed off the elder's head with one claw!" "How can the elder be a member of the Demon Sect? He usually treats us very well!" "It's hard to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and you don't know your heart when you know people." Elder Fang may be buying people's hearts and minds at times, and is ready to turn us against the devil and thieves. "Is this really possible? Fortunately, the Lord of Guiyi Division killed Elder Fang, otherwise we would have become demonic thieves, and we would have died." ”

Some of the diners on the first floor stayed to talk to others, some were too frightened to stay any longer and ran away, and some took advantage of the chaos in the inn and sneaked away without paying the bill.

Ji Cha breathed a long sigh of relief, constantly rubbing his thighs, and a bunch of sweat was dripping on his forehead. Liu Quan asked: "Miss Ji Chen, why do you sweat so much?" Ji Cha scolded: "Get out of your mother, you are weak." ”

Liu Quan was silent, and said in his heart, this girl is beautiful and beautiful, but her personality is perverse and violent, and she is extremely bad, so it is better to ignore it. Pick up the spoon that has just dropped on the table and continue to scoop the soup and drink.

Ji Cha felt more and more pain in his thighs, and secretly thought that the position he had just pierced was too inch, and he had pierced the tendons and veins, so he had to treat it quickly. didn't wait for Hong Chen to finish the soup, and snatched his spoon: "Don't drink it." My legs are numb, you carry me upstairs to rest. ”

Hong Chen picked up the bowl and drank a big mouthful of soup, wiped his mouth and got up, walked to Ji Cha and bent down, holding his hands behind his back, and a pair of arms formed two rings with his body. Ji Cha stepped into the ring with his legs, straightened his waist, and rode on Hong Chen, dragging his clothes on his shoulders, like holding the reins: "You have to drive!

Hong Chen muttered, "I'm a bodyguard, not a horse." But he still carried Ji Cha upstairs.

Liu Quan shook his head when he saw it: "'The gold and jade are outside, and the ruins are in it', maybe that's what she said! I thought she was just snarky to me, but it turned out to be a vase with vulgar words, pampered and arrogant." Even if you get married, you have to make the whole in-law family restless. ”

Ji Cha, who had arrived on the sixth floor, naturally couldn't hear Liu Quan's self-talk, and as soon as he lay down on the bed, he asked Hong Chen to go out: "Hurry up, go quickly, I'm going to take off my clothes and sleep." ”

I didn't know that Hongchen didn't leave, glanced around the room, and said: "Your room is so beautiful, I don't know where to go than the one downstairs, such a big bed, and it's soft." I took a shower, and my body didn't stink anymore. Leave me to sleep with you. ”
