Chapter 199: Arrogant and Caught
No one is not afraid of death, and Xu Changan is certainly no exception.
Although Xu Changan often despised that monk and a certain short and fat man who could be afraid of dying to that extent, he was indeed no better than them.
Walking out of the building, the sun is just right.
At this time, the wind blows on the body neither hot nor cool, which is extremely rare in this kind of weather.
It can be said that it has added a little bit of Chang'an's good impression of this city.
Although he was cheated by the old man with forty copper plates, he ran into an acquaintance as if he was crooked, and he ate a meal for nothing...
Xu Changan, who has always been extremely sensitive to these seemingly coincidental things, is naturally extremely sensitive to whether the old man deliberately brought himself to this place.
So when talking to Hua Rong upstairs, Xu Changan casually asked her if she had accidentally met an old man in a gray robe with a swallow sitting on his shoulder when she came to this city.
But Hua Rong's answer dispelled that thought, and Hua Rong said that he had not seen it.
So in the end, Xu Changan could only attribute these things to coincidence.
The other party ate his own buns and took himself to find a place to sell dumplings, and there are indeed osmanthus fish dumplings to sell in this building, and it seems that there is no problem.
However, Xu Changan still felt that such a coincidence was too unbelievable.
But Hua Rong really doesn't know him, even if the other party has seen Hua Rong by chance and knows that she is in this building, how can he know that he knows Hua Rong?
If Hua Rong told him that he had met a child with a black sword, then Hua Rong was completely unreasonable and didn't know each other.
No matter how you think about it, it should be a coincidence that doesn't look like a coincidence.
But Xu Changan didn't realize that the sword in his hand had already revealed his identity, and he completely forgot who asked Yang Hejiu to give this sword to him.
As he walked out of the building, the young man in white robe then walked out of the red building.
Only the other middle-aged man was left, with his big belly rising and falling, almost biting the yellow teeth.
On the way to the capital, in the face of the bow and arrow in the hands of the secret assassin, Xu Changan never thought about hiding under a big tree to hide his figure.
Even though the two feathered arrows were shot at his chest, he still staggered on the horse and walked straight ahead.
It is useless for someone to kill themselves, and the people who sent those two assassins must be more snobbish than the two of them, if these two people can't deal with it, then it is simply wishful thinking if they want to live in this capital.
When you first come to the capital, the most important thing is to find Yang Hejiu first, and in addition to going to the Spirit Academy, remembering the road you have traveled is also a compulsory course.
After all, he was ready to live here for a long time, and he couldn't ask others every day how to go on this road and where to go in that place.
It's not that I'm embarrassed, I can't say it, it's just too troublesome.
Asking along the way, this academy in the capital is not difficult to inquire, no matter what age it is, as long as you open your mouth to ask where the Spirit Academy is, you can raise your finger to point out a general path for Xu Changan.
Just after eating and drinking, the pace of walking on the road is brisk.
Soon noticed that someone was following him behind him, Xu Changan looked at the crowded streets around him, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then slowly stopped in place.
The few people behind him did not panic, but as written in the script, they immediately turned around and stared at the stall in front of them, pretending to pick something.
Xu Changan sighed softly in an old-fashioned manner, and did not take the opportunity to quickly run away and throw off the other party, but walked slowly towards the one-person position.
Looking at the man closely, he could find that his hand movements were already a little flustered, and before Xu Chang'an could speak, the owner of the stall was a woman, who was already staring at the man with a little weirdness, and said angrily: "Don't buy it!"
The man still didn't panic, but picked left and right with some difficulty, pointed to an item with some bitterness at the corner of his mouth, frowned and asked, "How to sell this belly pocket?"
......
Xu Changan didn't have time to wait for him to bargain there, and raised the black sword with both hands and slashed at the opponent's elbow.
The man was attacked, and his feet staggered, but he never expected that this kid had so much strength at a young age, he struggled to stand firm, holding one arm and trembling all over, and a layer of cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead.
That arm is broken, but it's not going to be gone.
It is said that it will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, but according to Xu Changan's guess, that person may only be able to use the other arm first in this half a year.
The woman gave Xu Changan a thumbs up and exclaimed, "It's a good fight! This kind of hooligan should be beaten!"
The pedestrians in the surrounding aisles did not know the situation, so they stopped to watch, although there were many people, the scene was not chaotic.
In the distance, three or four people saw their companions being beaten, and they were all slowly surrounding.
I have to say that Xu Changan's preemptive sword really made these people feel a little unconfident.
According to reason, if a child on the other side finds someone behind him, shouldn't he run away in a hurry, or ask for help from passers-by around him, how can someone come up and cut back a sword without saying a word?
How arrogant does this have to be? Xu Changan is arrogant!
Xu Changan is not the one who wants to reason with them, you all want to kill me, and I still talk to you according to reason?
Do I have to wait until you do it before I can fight back?
If it was before, Xu Changan's sword would not have been so decisive, at least he shouldn't have hated it so much.
Maybe you will think about whether the other party is ordered by someone else and can't help yourself in such a boring thing.
Because on the way to Wangshu Tower, he saw too many people who couldn't help themselves, as if everyone had a hard time, including himself.
Jiang Ming and Jiang Xiaobai's use put Xu Chang'an and his party in danger, and even let Yang Hejiu accept the gamble of nine deaths.
Another example is that he robbed the prison and caused the two guards to lose their lives, and so many people died at the gate of Yingdu City, and he also had a hard time.
However, he had already thought it out before the Wangqiu Lake in Jincheng, and at that time he said that this world should be simpler.
I killed so many people, and those people should hate me, and if anyone wants to come to me for revenge, they should be.
And if someone wants to kill me, whether it is involuntary or ordered by others, or even forced with a gun and there is no way out, as long as you want to kill me, then I will not show mercy.
In fact, although Xu Changan doesn't hate Jiang Ming and Jiang Xiaobai, he can even be called a good impression.
But if it were now, in the face of Jiang Xiaobai's suicide with a knife, he might not change his mind and agree to let Jiang Ming accompany him.
Although Yang Hejiu will still agree to Jiang Ming to accompany him, what Yang Hejiu will do is Yang Hejiu, and Xu Changan's idea is Xu Changan.
In the face of those who are following behind or even trying to kill themselves, they will not do it lightly, that is to pile up trouble for themselves.
Several people behind him were already surrounded, and Xu Changan clearly saw that a person touched the back of his waist, according to Xu Changan's guess, it should be an extremely sharp knife.
However, the knife was not taken out directly, but was put back by another person's eyes, and the few people surrounding Xu Changan looked back at the pedestrians who were watching without a trace.
didn't go up to stir up trouble, but separated one person to support the man whose arm was slashed with a sword, and now he was grinning his teeth, and he didn't know where to go to check the injury, and the others just dispersed.
This is definitely extremely aggrieved, but Xu Changan is not too surprised.
You must know that this is in the capital, not in the wilderness, you can escape at any time.
Let's not talk about the consequences of using a knife, they can't bear the charge of beating a child in broad daylight just by a few big men.
Someone looking at it is not the same thing as no one around.
Although secretly they beat themselves to death and eventually the body will still be found, as long as no one sees it, the old man who doesn't seem to be bad for money will send some money to the yamen, and maybe the government will just turn a blind eye and casually transfer someone from death row to cut it down.
But under the watchful eyes of so many pedestrians around, if you want to steal the day, you will inevitably commit public anger.
Although it's not that their own children can't be angry with themselves, if this kind of thing spreads in the city, who is not afraid that it will be their turn next?
As for the other party's willingness to put things aside for the time being and not send him into the official mansion, naturally there is nothing difficult to understand.
Although there are thieves who shout and catch thieves, they will not meet a person who is looking for trouble.
They could report to the police to accuse Chang'an of deliberately hurting someone, but they also needed to explain what the four or five men were thinking about following a child with sharp weapons.
And the most important thing is that the official reported that Xu Chang'an would not die, but the order they received was to take Xu Chang'an's life.
I want to ask if I sent Xu Changan to the yamen, I can't sneak into the prison and kill him secretly, right?
Although it is said in this way, the truth is also said in this way, but Xu Changan obviously underestimated the middle-aged man with a big belly in the Red Mansion.
Xu Changan doesn't act according to reason, and the other party doesn't have to be reasonable.
Just when Xu Changan walked not far in the face of everyone's strange eyes, several saber officials surrounded him.
Xu Changan couldn't help laughing, just now he was still thinking that the other party would not report to the official, but he didn't expect that he would really report it, why he did this is naturally not difficult to guess.
The other party did not give up the plan to take his own life, on the contrary, they were willing to report to the official and let the officials come to arrest him, just for their own life!
Xu Changan's conjectures are correct, even if he goes to the yamen, he will not die of crime, and he will be released after being locked up for a few days.
But what happened in the few days when he was locked up in the yazhong, whether he would die or not depends on how much money the middle-aged man gave out.
Not a lot, at least enough to die on their own.
