Chapter 20: The Tavern is assassinated

Thirty years of Chaoxing!

There is no greater beauty in the north than snow, and the snow scene is especially famous for its poignant beauty. The heavenly snow flutters down in the air, the Great Wall is covered with snow, and the dragon's spine is pale and horizontal from the air, isolating the inside and outside of the pass. From time to time, there is a breeze but the military flag does not flutter, because the ice hangs down, the corner tower at the interval reveals a yellowish light, and the white gas is continuously and regularly, and the entire northern city defense is firmly guarding the north in the winter snow!

Gulong City, not far from the Great Wall, was snowing heavily at this time, and the streets were covered with snow, and the people were sitting around the stove at home, eating roasted sweet potatoes and chatting about family life.

Some children were playing in the snow in the streets, and not far from them came a warrior riding a red and brown horse, his thin figure was very tall, but the tall horse did not match his thin body.

The samurai wore red armor, a thin layer of snow fell on their shoulders and helmets, and their horses were heavily armoured, shaking their heads from time to time to shake the snow off. The samurai's helmet was covered with a white cloth, revealing only the upper part of the bridge of the nose, and a pair of eagle-like eyes, revealing a hint of murder.

When the children saw the samurai, not only did they not disperse, but gathered around the samurai, as if asking for something. The samurai took out a pile of brightly colored stones from his coat and gave them to the children, and they departed.

The warrior is none other than the twelve princes of the Longyun Empire, the general of Zhenbei - Yun Fan!

Yun Fan rode a horse to meet the snow and strolled, walked to a tavern and stopped, got off the horse and didn't care about the war horse, pushed the door and walked into the tavern. The war horse stood still under the eaves and was very obedient.

The general's entry did not cause a commotion among the other people in the tavern, who seemed to be accustomed to Yun Fan's arrival.

Yun Fan shook off the snow off his body, took off his helmet and put it on a table near the stove and sat down.

The people in the tavern showed respect on their faces, and they didn't bother Yun Fan.

Yun Fan's eyes were solemn, as if he was thinking about something.

"Hey, what do you want?"

Su Rong skillfully served a plate of beef, a roast leg of mutton, and a pot of wine, and saw Yun Fan's eyes glazed, so he suddenly startled him behind his back.

"Didn't think about anything. Yun Fan barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Is the smile true or false, what's the matter? There has been another war recently?" Su Rong took a white handkerchief and shook off the remaining snow on Yun Fan's body.

"Well, there's something going on over there with the Huns. "Yun Fan has never lied to Su Rong, or he didn't dare to say it.

"Xiaofan, you eat slowly, and no one will rob you. ”

Su Rong has always been unaccustomed to Yun Fan's gobbling up appearance.

"Get used to it!"

"Can't you get used to eating more elegantly every time you say that? Su Rong's face was displeased, as if he was coquettish.

"Once the scholar goes to the battlefield, I will be like this!"

Su Rong pretended to be unhappy, and when Yun Fan saw this, he immediately sat upright, straightened his chest, and pretended to be very serious with his expression.

"Poof!"

"Hey, you! You've changed when you enter the barracks. ”

Su Rong was laughed at by Yun Fan's appearance, and couldn't help laughing.

The other people in the tavern were too embarrassed to disturb Yun Fan and the others didn't dare to go.

"Xiaofan, what's wrong with the Hunsian lately? ”

Yun Fan's eyes were solemn again, his face was ashamed, and he thought for a few breaths and replied, "Their venerable lord was assassinated, and the young lord fled to me, and the alliance was partially divided. ”

"Hey, what a big deal, isn't it good to split? Let them fight among themselves, won't you be busy! You can come and accompany me every day." Su Rong replied innocently, not knowing the political implications.

"Eat it! It's going to get cold for a while. Su Rong cut off a small piece of mutton and handed it to Yun Fan's mouth with his hand.

Yun Fan tilted his head to the side, and Su Rong moved the mutton to that side. Repeat it a few times, and Yun Fan will not hide. Anyway, I couldn't resist her when I was a child.

Yun Fan chewed embarrassedly, while Su Rong looked at it with a smile, teasing this eighteen-year-old brother who was still a general made her very happy.

Just as Yun Fan and Su Rong were talking and laughing, the door of the tavern opened, and a group of people with swords and robes came. They stripped off their robes, and the five men were dressed plainly, and their faces were upright. There are also three very tall and burly figures, with bulging facial muscles and slightly fierce faces.

"Little Er!"

One of the tall middle-aged men saw that there was no one to serve, so he opened his mouth and shouted to change Xiao Er, his voice was very loud, Yun Fan heard a hint of provocative language, Yun Fan specially turned his head to look at this group, his face was solemn.

The five people are called chivalrous because they have a chivalrous temperament because of their positive faces, and the other three are called butchers if they are fierce and vicious.

Su Rong got up and filled Yun Fan with wine, cut off a piece of meat and handed it to Yun Fan's mouth and said, "I'll go and serve the guests at that table first, Xiao Wu is not here today, so I'm alone." ”

"Little Er, people are dead!

"It's coming!

Yun Fan had just eaten it in his mouth, and when he heard the butcher yelling at his sister, anger ignited in his heart, and he looked at the butcher who was speaking, his eyes showed an undisguised murderous aura, warning, just a warning.

The middle-aged butcher and Yun Fan looked at each other, and a picture flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Su Rong conversed with a kind-faced knight and wrote down the dishes they ordered.

Someone next to them reminded these newcomers that this tavern was run by the government, and General Zhenbei should not pick quarrels and provoke trouble here.

The chivalrous butcher looked at Yun Fan, who was very famous here because Yun Fan was wearing an armor stomach.

Yun Fan didn't look at them, eating as if nothing happened, but he deliberately ate very slowly.

Su Rong worked in the kitchen for a while, and after serving the food to the knights, he sat back opposite Yun Fan.

"Are you busy today?"

"I'm not busy, I'm here to accompany you today. ”

"Then I'll cook for you and cook some of your favorite dishes, you wait, do you want to?" Su Rong looked at Yun Fan until he smiled and nodded and ran into the kitchen.

Su Rong himself also felt incredible, usually Yun Fan came by the way, and every time he was in a hurry. As long as he wears a stomach, he will never accompany her to a meal, and he still doesn't believe it when he nods.

The butchers seemed to be hungry, and the three butchers were middle-aged with a beard, a fat face, and the last one had a wrist guard lock, and there were scattered armor on his body to protect the vital points. There is no particularly obvious distinction between knight costumes and so on.

Yun Fan always felt that someone was deliberately peeping at him when he was drinking, and this feeling was accumulated on the battlefield for many years. Although he was peeping around, he didn't look back to see who it was, and looked thoughtfully at the empty wine glass.

When Su Rong arrived at the kitchen, he saw some ready-made ingredients and half-finished dishes, and drove the chef aside to cook them.

"Xiao Rong, stop, what are you doing?" the chef asked in confusion.

"That's... I'm too lazy to explain to you, Xiao Fan... Well, eat! ”

"Oh, but what about the guests? Don't chop green onions..."

"Who has an opinion? Hmph!"

Su Rong is arrogant and domineering.

The chef shook his head helplessly and left, discussing with those guests that it was okay.

The old customers are fine, and the new butchers don't listen to the explanation and shout, "Why don't you serve the food yet?"

The cook explained that they didn't listen, "What general? He can control the heavens and the earth and still manage us to eat here? ”

The regular customers present were all surprised, and a few of them whispered, "These reckless people are tired of being crooked." ”

"These outsiders are sick in the brain! They dare to be so presumptuous when they come to the north. ”

Yun Fan didn't feel anything after hearing it once, and anyone would be unhappy. However, the butcher kicked the persuasive cook away, and kept swearing. Anger ignited in his heart, Yun Fan held the cup in his left hand and clasped the sword on the table with his right hand.

Seeing this, a chivalrous man came over and whispered in the butcher's ear, and the butcher stopped making noise, and sat down and only said, "Hurry up." ”

Yun Fan drank all the wine in his cup, got up and planned to leave, but thought that Su Rong was still cooking for him, so he sat down again.

After waiting for a while, Su Rong's dish was ready.

Yun Fan didn't tell her what had just happened, as if nothing had happened.

"Hurry up! The Firehead Army's food is definitely not as good as mine's. ”

"Of course, the Huotou Army's food is not cooked, and it is unpalatable to death. ”

"Is it delicious?"

"What do you say?"

Su Rong pretended to be warm and angry, staring at Yun Fan with big shining eyes, his eyes were full of love.

"I can't think of an adjective to describe it, if I have to say it, I can't describe it as delicious, there are so many delicious things in the world, but the meals you cooked for me are rarer and unique than the Son of Heaven's Qiong Yumei Hunt. ”

Yun Fan added: "It's delicious!"

"Hmm!" Su Rong nodded with satisfaction, smiling as brightly as before.

The snow gradually lightened, and when viewed from the air, the earth looked like a blank sheet of paper, covered with stars and black dots. Wandering through the white streets irregularly, the original dead silence came to life.

Ghost – An invisible ghost. On the battlefield, this war horse and his master Yun Fan came and went like ghosts, and the soldiers who were about to fall to the ground may only have a chance to be stunned, and they don't even know who the enemy is after death. This is a battle-hardened war horse.

When it snows, the ghost does not use the owner's bolt, he hides the snow under the eaves, and when the snow stops, he jogs in the street from time to time, looking around, and does not need to take care of it at all.

Bustling people take to the streets, sweeping the snow in front of the door, visiting the door, or strolling aimlessly. The ghost, who had been sniffing the snow on the ground, suddenly raised its head and looked motionlessly ahead, as if something made it curious. Large, dark eyes reflected a black shadow on the white edge, slowly walking from the street level.

As the dark shadow approached, the ghost went from curiosity to a little restless. The black shadow gradually took on a human form, and it gave people a special feeling from a distance, especially when the black shadow was about to walk in front of the ghost, the ghost saw the pair of eyes under the hat, as if frightened, and roared to the sky.

Ma Ming outside the house did not arouse the attention of most people, only the chivalrous man and the butcher pretended to be calm, but their eyes communicated. And Yun Fan frowned slightly, and quickly stretched back, as if nothing happened.

Under the hat in black is a beautiful face, slightly white, but nothing special, this face gives people the feeling of good-looking ordinary, ordinary is different, but it will not leave a deep impression.

Black-clad pushed the door open into the tavern, closed the door, and walked straight to the butcher and the knight and sat down.

The horse's neighing was intermittent but non-stop, and after a few breaths, the roaring stopped.

Yun Fan stared at the steaming wine glass, and when he saw his reflection, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile that was not easy to detect.

A butcher squinted at Yun Fan, and his feet under the table kept kicking the man in black who had just come in, and the man in black was unmoved, slowly sipping a cup of hot tea.

Seeing that the man in black did not react, the butcher couldn't help but stand up, and was pressed by a knight next to him as soon as he spoke. The man in black said: "We only pass by this tavern once, delicious food and wine, cherish this opportunity, and miss it when we pass by." ”

After hearing this, the chivalrous man understood the meaning of the black clothes, only the middle-aged butcher was angry, and he was forced to bow his head to eat because of the identity of the black clothes.

"Sister Surong, I want to eat white pressed cakes, don't mind going get a few for me!"

"Mind! I don't go far in the winter, what's so delicious about the hard white pressed cakes?" Su Rong looked unwilling.

Although Su Rong was very reluctant, he couldn't resist Yun Fan's insistence, got up and walked to the kitchen, and smiled back when he arrived at the door. Laughing palely, laughing hesitantly.

Looking at the back of Su Rong leaving, Yun Fan drank all the wine in the cup.

"Huh!"

The butcher and the knight drew their swords at the same time as Yun Fan, and only the man in black was still drinking.

Seeing this, diners at the tavern fled in a hurry, hiding under the table, cowering in the corner, or running out of the door to scream.

Heiyi was unmoved, and said slowly: "When I finish eating, it may be the last meal." ”

Yun Fan didn't speak, he already knew that the gang in black was here to kill him.

The middle-aged bearded butcher picked up a big knife beside him and rushed towards Yun Fan, the other knights were on the left, and the fat-faced butcher and the iron-fisted butcher followed behind the bearded man, forcing Yun Fan into a corner.

The battle was very fast, the movements were crisp and clean, and there was no mud and water.

Yun Fan clenched a cold sword, emitting a cold light, and when he was only two steps away from the beard, he dodged to the right side of the bearded man, and slashed his right leg with a sword, and the round-faced butcher on the right side was knocked to the ground by the thin figure in front of him before he could come to his senses.

A knight on the left only felt the breath of death for a moment, and he wanted to try to turn back and look directly at the last opponent in his life, but unfortunately his head was not half twisted and was killed by Yun Fan's sword.

The moment he returned the sword, Yun Fan originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that some people lost their minds and did not react, and stabbed the knight on the right side of the bearded man (with a broken leg half-kneeling on the ground) in front of him with a sword, but the second knight reacted quickly, and Yun Fan himself was surrounded up and down.

Yun Fan used his sword to block in front of him and parry the second knight in front of him. Sideways and lowered, dodging the attack of the third knight on the right, and before the fourth knight slashed himself with a side knife, Yun Fan swung his sword and forcibly slashed at the knight who was about to pick the knife.

This sword surprised Yun Fan and the others in black at the same time, not surprised by Yun Fan's quick reaction, but in the instant of the sword, the blocking knife was cut off, and then the knight's leg made a "bump" metal impact sound, and the last scream, the knight's thigh blood overflowed.

Heiyi thought to himself: "Sure enough, as the rumors say, General Zhenbei's saber was as sharp as clay, but it was still pitted, and the armor bought at a high price was easily cut." ”

Because of this surprise, Yun Fan was able to kick the knight in front of him away and rush out of the encirclement.
