Chapter 50: The Heroine's Trail
Zhu Luoyun was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly stopped him, "Wait!"
The storyteller has obviously been staring at himself, could it be ...... Recognized his identity? But he has lived in the imperial city for a long time, and his true face is rarely witnessed by ordinary people, could it be that this storyteller is not a simple character? Zhu Luoyun was shocked in his heart!
Less engraved. The storyteller stopped and looked at him fixedly. Zhu Luoyun glanced left and right, and saw that no one noticed this, so he lowered his voice. "Just now I saw that my husband kept looking at me, yes... Have you seen me?"
Mr. Storyteller looked at him strangely, shook his head, and said, "I just rely on storytelling to beg for food, and the first time I saw you dressed so luxuriously, I refused to give you a copper coin." ”
The prince's expression was stunned for a moment, and he realized that he was staring at himself just now, but it was just because he didn't give money, so he hurriedly called the guards on the side, but he couldn't find any copper coins, only some broken silver taels. The storyteller weighed the broken silver, and sighed that the rich boy really didn't put these copper plates and small coins in his eyes, and even went out to drink tea and listen to books, but he didn't have any copper plates on his body.
"Sir, I have some more silver taels with me, if I am not busy leaving, can you tell me about the people in this Yeyang City, but there are any people with great martial arts? I also want to visit them one by one. ”
Hearing this, the storyteller unexpectedly glanced at this fine-skinned and tender-fleshed son, interested in martial arts? For the sake of silver, he was naturally happy to talk to the prince in detail.
"You can be regarded as asking the right person, those old news in the past few years have long been spread in the neighborhoods and alleys, and there is nothing to talk about, so I will talk about a 'woman' who appeared in Yeyang City in recent days. ”
Heroine? It just so happened that she was going to choose a martial arts contest, Zhu Luoyun's expression was flying, urging the storyteller to speak quickly.
Mr. Storyteller continued to touch the goatee on his chin unhurriedly before slowly speaking, "Although this 'woman' is a woman, her hands and feet are no worse than those brute force men, I heard that the family was originally engaged in the dart business, but later met a group of robbers on the road, saw that the lady was beautiful, so he killed his father and robbed her mother, and her mother was humiliated, and took advantage of the robbers' inattention to commit suicide with a dagger." When the storyteller said this, his tone was full of embarrassment.
The prince was also silent, and felt some pity for this tragic thing of human suffering, "Then what about later?
Mr. Storyteller shook his head, "How can I worship under the master's door, after the death of both parents, only she and her young brother are left in the family, originally distant relatives saw her beauty, and wanted to marry her to a rich family to make a profit, but this girl is also a stubborn temper, she ran away with her younger brother the night before she got married, I don't know which bodyguard master's house she was hiding in, and by the way, she learned some skills of bodyguards and had some martial arts." ”
Obviously it was just an ordinary story, but Zhu Luoyun was fascinated by it, and as soon as the storyteller finished speaking, he urged to continue.
The storyteller couldn't help but look at the money bag that the prince gave him with a broken silver tael, "What's next...... I can't think clearly for a while, so I'll sort out my thoughts. ”
How could the guard not know the storyteller's intentions? But he was still trying to ask for money after half a story? The guard had to cough vigorously, his eyes a little cold.
Only then did the storyteller retract his gaze and continued, "After some time, the girl came out and found a hard job to make ends meet, and at the same time visited the bodyguard masters under her father, and after learning the skills completely, she began to practice her own, and had her own martial arts moves. ”
The storyteller's voice was low and frustrated, perhaps he had just been frightened by the guard's eyes, and he didn't dare to deliberately delay any longer. Originally, this woman had a kung fu and just wanted to protect herself and take revenge, lest she be a woman, and she had no father or mother, and she had no power to resist. After she had some kung fu ability, she went to the mountain where her parents were buried and pretended to pass by. ”
"When the bandits and robbers saw her beauty, they became ill-willed, and 'forcibly' took her up the mountain and forced her to be the concubine of the bandit leader. The thief's wife was jealous, and the concubines who were originally forcibly married were all made half dead, and everyone thought that this girl would not live long, who would have thought that when she spent candles in the cave room, she directly killed the drunk bandit leader. ”
When the prince heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately the girl was fine. Although he has a little ability, and has a grudge against his parents, but he dares to enter the thief's den alone, and his courage is quite commendable, and the prince remembers that he has no backhand power when he is chased and killed, and he can't help but clench the fine embroidery on his shirt.
The guards had been serving by the prince's side for many years, and when they saw the prince showing such a look again, they sighed softly, understanding what he was thinking. If the prince wants to learn some self-defense skills, it's okay, but these things of dancing knives and guns are really not something he should mention, otherwise what else would they want these guards to do?
Everyone has their own things to do, although the prince yearns for the rivers and lakes, he also knows the general situation and knows what to pick up and put down, but this child's stubborn heart still needs to be changed.
After the girl took the thief's life, she knelt down and kowtowed to her parents three times, and wanted to quietly leave the bandit's den, but she didn't want to alarm the thief's brother, and suddenly attracted many people. ”
The next day, she went to inform the government at this time, hey, this government is not mediocre, sent some people, and took down the chaotic bandit den that lost its leader in one fell swoop, and when it was attacked, the brothers of the bandit leader were still fighting each other, and everyone wanted to sit on this top spot. ”
The storyteller touched his goatee and laughed, and at this point, the story seemed to be over, but the prince was still a little unsatisfied, and paused for a few seconds before asking again.
"And what happened to that girl?"
"Later, what can I do? Assisting the government to eliminate the bandits and robbers who have been doing evil for many years is a great achievement, and when she returned to her hometown, she was also quite loved by the people, and it is said that later she also helped the neighbors and villagers to do some very happy things, beating up the rich son who bullied the people, and distributing the silver taels to the poor equally, how can this deed be finished!" The storyteller glanced at the prince more, and when he saw that he was full of thought, he couldn't help but ask more.
"I remember you said you were going to visit, but what do you have to ask for?"
"Huh?" Zhu Luoyun came back to his senses from the scene described by Mr. Storyteller just now, and reacted that he was asking himself, and almost blurted out the matter of recruiting relatives in the martial arts competition, but fortunately stopped in time and chuckled.
"It's just a little curious, I've seen some such stories from books at home, and I have some yearning, and I want to see the true face of the heroine when I hear you describe it. ”
The guard was silent, took out a few more silver coins from the money bag, and gently placed them on the table in front of the storyteller.
"I know where she lives, and I'll ask the shopkeeper for some pen and paper, and I'll write it down to you." ”
Lingye Palace
It was obviously noon, and the sun outside was a little scorching, but the palace was cold for a while, and the light seemed to turn into a dark blue to penetrate in, and you could vaguely see the facilities in the house clearly. The masked man put his hands to the side, sat lazily in his seat, and glanced at his subordinates who were bowing their heads and did not dare to say a word.
"Have you already determined the location of the crown prince?" the nightmare gently rolled up the letterhead beside him, the ink was scattered, and he didn't know what was written, and after a moment he turned his gaze to the person below.
The man in black respectfully told the truth what he had heard, "Yes!" The subordinates specially arranged for someone to follow, in the morning the prince with an attendant was drinking tea in the teahouse in the north of the city, the prince seemed to be quite interested in the storyteller, and the subordinates listened to the conversation between the prince and the entourage, it seemed that the prince was going to hold something in Yeyang City...... Recruiting relatives in martial arts?"
When the man in black first heard this, he was also a little surprised, wondering if he had heard it wrong. In order to find a satisfactory husband for herself, the prince is a man after all, but he wants to recruit relatives through the competition, isn't he looking for a strong mother-in-law?
Moreover, how can the marriage of the emperor's relatives and relatives be decided by the level of martial arts alone? It is really surprising that the crown prince has suddenly subverted this tradition in the harem, which has always been selected through drafts and layers of selection.
I have heard that the prince yearns for righteousness in the rivers and lakes, but it is too childish to do such a big thing. Wei Yuan shook his head, I don't know if he sighed, "I made people keep an eye on the prince first, and now I can't be sure if there are still people secretly staring." ”
After all, if you are the crown prince, you should not only bring an entourage with you, if your life is in danger, it is not enough to block the knife for the prince, but since the prince can do such a thing recklessly, it is not impossible to slip out of the palace alone......
The man in black was silent, only bowing his body, waiting for his master to give the order.
"Let's find some people to test it, the group of dead soldiers I just trained a few days ago is time for them to move their muscles. ”
The eyes of the man in black were shocked, the dead soldier Ling Ye Palace has always been ruthless, and the training of the dead soldier also has its own set of methods, and the financial resources spent on the dead soldier even exceed the elite troops, which is enough to see the importance and strength of the dead soldier. It seems that the master is bound to win this time, and he will definitely capture the prince back to the palace.
After realizing the attitude of the Lord, the man in black no longer dared to have the slightest slackness, his face was much more solemn, and when he waited for the master's command to be complete, he arched his hand, thanked him and then retreated.
"Prince......" The man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the door in front of him and didn't know what he was thinking, and muttered something after a while.
