Chapter 35 - Do You Want to Live?
The white-clothed boy slowly walked into the inn and sighed at the mess all over the ground, "Tsk, these two people are really anti-thieves, they dare to kill the sergeant of Zhichong Mansion." ”
He muttered to himself for a while, and whispered to the sergeant on the side: "This brother, those two thieves are now at the end of the madman's end, and I am afraid that they will not be able to take advantage of the hand-to-hand sword battle, so instead of waiting like this, it is better to gather colleagues and surround them here." ”
After speaking, he laughed, sat down on the intact stool on the side of the lobby, and looked at Meng Ran and Geng Huyuan with a smug expression.
The sergeant thought for a moment, then turned and ran out of the inn, presumably calling out to the other colleagues.
Meng Ran glanced at the pale Geng Nursing Home, he was very anxious, but he didn't have a good idea, so he just comforted him softly: "Uncle Geng, it's okay, we'll be fine." ”
Geng Huyuan's chapped lips grinned, and he hissed: "Young master, the big deal is death, don't be afraid, I will accompany you." ”
Meng Ran nodded fiercely and said in a low voice: "But let me die at the hands of such a despicable person, I am not willing to be a ghost." ”
"Hehe, do you want to fight?"
"How do you spell?"
Geng Huyuan glanced at the son-in-law with his eyes, the corners of Meng Ran's mouth curled slightly, and he praised from the heart: "Good idea." ”
In the next few breaths, Sergeant Zhichong saw an unbelievable scene.
I saw Meng Ran swooping forward with a single knife, looking like he was about to rush down the stairs and fight desperately, the sergeants who confronted Meng Ran subconsciously dodged backwards, Meng Ran took this opportunity to drag Geng Huyuan up several steps, at this time they had already stood at the end of the stairs, almost stepping into the corridor.
The faces of the few Zhichong Mansion sergeants darkened slightly, and they slowly moved up the wooden staircase, but Meng Ran and Geng Huyuan did not stop them, but just looked at those people with a solemn face.
At this moment, Geng Huyuan ran towards the depths of the corridor, and Meng Ran jumped into the lobby, and with a 'click', Meng Ran actually stepped on a solid wood table board directly.
He didn't stay in place, and after he landed, he exerted his strength on the soles of his feet, and rushed directly towards the boy's brother, and when the two figures could meet, the cold blade was already on the man's neck.
"You tell them to stop. Meng Ran's tone of voice did not carry any emotion, like a body made of ice cubes.
The boy smiled, "You don't dare to touch me." If you move me, I will make your whole people die. ”
Meng Ran didn't continue to talk nonsense, just threw a punch flatly, hitting it straight on the stomach of Gongzi'er, the handsome and white cheeks were instantly distorted, two lines of tears flowed out of his heroic eyes, and sour water was spitting in his mouth, and the whole person became very soft, and he was about to fall to the ground.
Meng Ran helped him up and shouted loudly: "Listen to the sergeant of the Zhichong Mansion upstairs, quickly retreat downstairs, otherwise I will kill this boy and brother, so that you can't eat and walk around." ”
The sergeant on the stairs and who had already rushed into the corridor slowly paused, and slowly returned to the lobby, surrounding Meng Ran.
One of the very capable middle-aged men stepped forward a few steps forward and persuaded: "Young man, if you let Zhou Gongzi go, maybe there is still a way to live, dare to continue to resist, no one can save you." ”
Meng Ran snorted, "Don't fart, you guys retreat to the street immediately and get out immediately!"
The middle-aged man's eyes were gloomy, he looked at Meng Ran coldly, and said in a cold tone: "I'll give you another chance, if you let Zhou Gongzi go, I will keep you from dying." ”
Meng Ran sneered, "Are you really a fool for me? Kill several of your people in Zhechong Mansion, you say that if you don't die, you won't die? Who do you think you are? It's just a small fire chief." ”
As soon as the words fell, Meng Ran's right hand was lightly forced, and the blade instantly cut through Zhou Gongzi's skin, and bright red blood slowly flowed down the blade.
Meng Ran asked lightly, "Are you going or not leaving?"
The sergeant looked at each other a few times, and moved out of the inn very slowly.
Meng Ran slowly walked to the wooden staircase with Zhou Gongzi in his arms, and just after stepping a few steps, Meng Ran shouted to the inn account room hiding behind the counter: "Settle accounts, send me two pots of good wine, otherwise..."
After speaking, he smiled coldly, and continued to half-hug and half-mop the ground to invite the Zhou Gongzi to the second floor.
In the corridor on the second floor, Geng Huyuan sat on the floor, leaning against the door, looking like he was about to die.
Meng Ran directly smashed Zhou Gongzi with the back of the knife, and then ran to the side of Geng Huyuan and took the burden behind him. He opened the burden with trembling fingers, took out the golden medicine inside, and sprinkled it on the wound of Geng Nursing Yuan with trembling, and then directly tore the hem of his clothes, and used those slender strips of cloth to bandage the wound of Geng Nursing Yuan.
After the hem of the clothes was used up, he tore the outer skin of the baggage and wrapped the body of Geng Huyuan tightly.
Geng Huyuan said in a weak voice: "Don't waste your strength, it's all a death anyway." It's just a pity, I have too many things to do, and I'm really unwilling. ”
Meng Ran's eyes were red, and he choked up: "I'm sorry, Uncle Geng, it's all my fault, it's me who is not good......"
At this time, there was a sound of clattering footsteps on the stairs, and Meng Ran quickly wiped away his tears and walked over with a vigilant expression. As soon as he arrived at the side of the Zhou Gongzi, he saw a head popping out of the staircase, which looked like it should be the account office of the inn.
"Childe, the wine you wanted. ”
"Send it in. ”
"I... I don't dare. ”
"Hurry up, or I'll kill this Zhou Gongzi. ”
The bookkeeper trembled and appeared in Meng Ran's sight, he had just taken two steps forward, and when he arrived at the door of the first guest room on the second floor, he was stopped by Meng Ran, "You just stand there, put down the wine jug, and then go down by yourself." ”
The bookkeeper put down the flask gently, slowly turned to leave, and was about to step on the stairs, when suddenly a voice came from behind him, it was Meng Ran's voice.
"There's no poison in the wine, right? I have to let Zhou Gongzi taste it first. ”
The bookkeeper's body paused for a moment, and then disappeared from Meng Ran's sight.
Meng Ran glanced at the empty staircase a few times, and heard a noise coming from the street outside, thinking that the other sergeants of the Zhichong Mansion had arrived.
He first moved Geng Huyuan to a room, and then dragged Zhou Gongzi in.
After Meng Ran handed Geng Huyuan a pot of wine, he closed the doors and windows, and sat on the ground gently, his back pressed against the wall, his face indifferent, as if waiting for death to come.
After a while, there was a sound of clattering footsteps on the stairs, and it should be the sergeant from the Zhichong Mansion rushing up, and Meng Ran didn't bother to take care of it, just looked at the void in a daze, and drank wine without a match.
With a 'squeak', the window was pushed open from the outside, and a figure in a black robe jumped into the room.
Meng Ran came back to his senses, raised his head slightly, and said expressionlessly, "Are you here to kill me?"
The man smiled, revealing his face, it was the Imperial City Si Xuan Wolf Guard Chief Banner Ma Shun that Meng Ran had seen before.
Ma Shun glanced at the situation in the room and said in a low voice: "The kid is okay, two people beat more than a dozen Zhichong Mansion sergeants to pieces, which is really good." ”
Meng Ran glanced at Ma Shun again, lowered his eyes again, and ignored his praise.
After Ma Shun was ignored, he did not leave, but walked in front of Meng Ran and slowly squatted down, and asked, "Don't you want to live?"
Meng Ran snorted lightly, "Naturally, I want to live, but it's just ......"
Before the rest of the words could be spoken, the door was violently kicked open, and two tigers and wolves rushed in an instant.
The two sergeants glanced around the room and shouted, "Here's the man." ”
I only heard the footsteps outside all walking towards this room, and the two of them looked at Ma Shun very jealously, but they were not in a hurry to speak.
After a while, a very majestic figure walked in outside the door, he picked up the sergeant who was blocking the way, walked straight to the center of the room, and looked down at Meng Ran who was sitting against the wall and Ma Shun in front of him in a downward posture.
The man's voice was very majestic, and he said: "I am Chu Changcun, the captain of the Fourth Regiment of Hangzhou Zhechong Mansion, I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
Ma Shun stood up and replied in a flat voice: "Ma Shun, the chief banner of the Imperial City Division's Xuan Wolf Guard." ”
Chu Changcun saluted very perfunctorily, "Ma Zongqi, these two people are suspected of committing murder on the street and brutalizing our sergeants, they must be anti-thieves, now I want to take the two away, I wonder if Ma Zongqi has any other opinions?"
Ma Shun glanced at Chu Changcun, "I naturally have no opinion." However, I will tell my superiors the truth about this case, and I will naturally find out when the time comes. ”
"What does Ma Zongqi mean by this? Do you mean that the people of our Zhichong Mansion have nothing to do?"
Behind the cold words was a hostility that could not be described in words, and there was a faint murderous aura.
The corners of Ma Shun's mouth curled slightly, "I don't mean anything, I'm just telling the truth." If Captain Chu insists on going his own way, I am afraid that he will have to suffer in the future. ”
Chu Changcun smiled coldly, "You take care of yourself first." ”
Then Chu Changcun shouted at the sergeant behind him, "Don't take down these two thieves yet!"
Immediately, four sergeants stepped forward and tied Meng Ran and Geng Huyuan, and the unfinished wine was sprinkled on the ground, exuding a faint fragrance.
After Meng Ran, Geng Huyuan and the Zhou Gongzi were taken away, Chu Changcun hugged his fists at Ma Shun, "Ma Zongqi, I still have official business, so I won't accompany you, and I will leave first." ”
Ma Shun said quietly: "Captain Chu, I can understand your feelings of losing your comrades today, and I can not care about your arrogance and rudeness, but I advise you to be merciful to that young man's subordinates, otherwise your career and net worth may not be able to be saved." ”
Chu Changcun's face froze, he turned around and looked at Ma Shun fixedly, and said in his mouth: "I don't care what kind of background that kid has, no matter who is behind him, he killed my brother, and he should pay for his life." It's useless for anyone to come, I said Chu Changcun. ”
Ma Shun shrugged, "Then I'll wait and see how Captain Chu chooses." ”
Chu Changcun narrowed his eyes, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura, but he forcibly suppressed his emotions and walked out of the room with a cold snort.
Ma Shun, who stayed in place, smiled slightly, and muttered a sentence in his mouth: "There is a good show to watch." ”
