Chapter 77: Lord Liu is in distress
Lord Liu stood up and said to Nangong Junzhe: "The matter has almost been explained, and the time is not early, I am also going back to the Duwei Mansion, we can contact us at any time if there is something." ”
Nangong Junzhe hurriedly got up: "I'll go back with you, it just so happens that I'm also going to Duwei Mansion, and I haven't seen Yin Xuesong and Xiao Lie for several days." The two of them walked out of the study and walked into the courtyard, and saw Zhao Hai wearing an apron all over his body, and his hands were covered with flour coming out of the kitchen. ”
Lord Liu looked at Zhao Haiquan with a smile: "I've been here for a while, and I've been talking to the commander of Nangong about a little thing, but I didn't see you when I came, and I thought you went out to do some official business." He looked Zhao Haiquan's outfit up and down: "The dignified deputy commander Master Shi, why are you dressed like this?"
Zhao Haiquan said helplessly: "Lord Liu, don't interrupt me, don't you know what kind of virtue my deputy conductor Shi is, I am completely under the command of Brother Nangong, I will do whatever he asks me to do." No, Mu Zihui, the little ancestor, has to eat the donkey I made and roll, I pondered that there was nothing urgent to deal with today, so I agreed, just put the noodle drawer, and it will be cooked after a while. How about Lord Liu, don't you stay a little longer to taste my craft?"
Lord Liu politely declined: "I won't bother much today, I have to go back to the Duwei Mansion to arrange some other things, we have more opportunities like this, I have to live in Hecheng for a while, and when you are fine another day, call Shangyin Xuesong and Xiao Lie to come over and try your skills together, and then you will come up with the best dishes to entertain us." ”
"When the time comes, please okay!" Zhao Haiquan sent Lord Liu and Nangong Junzhe out of the gate and went back to the kitchen.
Lord Liu said to Nangong Junzhe: "I really haven't found out, this Lao Zhao still has such a skill, and he is really a real person." ”
"Don't really say it, Lao Zhao's craftsmanship can really be regarded as unparalleled in the world, after eating what he makes, it will be boring in any well-known restaurant, he is born to be a cook. This skill was passed on to him by his father-in-law, so that when he took over the inn, he would not lose the sign of their inn's cuisine. If it weren't for the catastrophe, he would have been at ease. Eating and martial arts, his degree of study of the former is no less than the top swordsman in the world. ”
"If you say this, it can be regarded as hooking out my gluttony, you must come and taste it before leaving, you can praise him like this, it shows that he still has real talent and learning. ”
"That's not it, we haven't invited a cook in the Jinyi Wei Mansion, it's all Lao Zhao Zhangluo eating and drinking up and down a dozen mouthfuls, if there is official business to do, there is no way, or to focus on official business, at that time we have to eat a big pot of rice with the soldiers, after all, a bunch of people eat together, no matter what unpalatable things are eaten, they can also taste a different wonderful taste. ”
"Looks like I'm going to run to you a little bit more in the future. Lord Liu and Nangong Junzhe chatted as they walked towards the Duwei Mansion.
Walking to a bustling street, Nangong Junzhe told Lord Liu about the local customs here, what is the difference between the vendors here and the vendors in the central city, how do the people here, and specially emphasized to Lord Liu that the winter on the Kanto Road is completely different from the winter in other places. Although the weather here is extremely cold, the people have many tips for protecting themselves from the cold, and there are many entertainment activities in winter. Lord Liu also took this opportunity to visit the situation in Hecheng and learn about the suffering of a small number of people.
The two men didn't notice at all, and behind them, a man wearing a mask and dressed in black was approaching step by step. The man kept his hands in his arms, carefully watching their movements. After walking out of the bustling street, the man in black suddenly rushed forward, and the hands in his arms pulled out two Long Yan Emei thorns, and stabbed them towards the back of Lord Liu's heart.
Nangong Junzhe knew that he was not good when he heard the evil wind howling behind him, so he turned around sharply, took off the ghost head gold wire ring knife in his waist, reached out and grabbed it, and left Lord Liu behind him. The man in black failed in one move, and when he was about to change his move, Nangong Junzhe raised his arm, and the blade pointed upwards directly at the neck of the man in black. The man in black had no choice but to withdraw a hand and block this fatal move with the Emei thorn. In this way, the two of them fought for more than 50 rounds, and neither of them tasted the sweetness.
Nangong Junzhe was afraid that if he was not careful, he would let the man in black hurt Lord Liu, so his moves were basically based on defense. During the fight, Nangong Junzhe shouted to the man in black: "Who are you, why did you assassinate Lord Liu, who instructed you?"
The man in black said with a smile: "It's Yin Xuesong and Xiao Lie, who spent a lot of money for me to take the life of this dog official, after fighting for so long, it is estimated that you are also tired, let's discuss, I can share half of your honorarium." If you let me kill him, neither of us will suffer. ”
"Fart!" Nangong Junzhe scolded angrily, changed his moves in his hand, changed his defense to attack, and slashed the key point of the man in black: "Who instructed you to do this, say it honestly, grandpa, I will surround you with a dog's life, otherwise, the heavens will chase you Lingxiao Palace, go down to the sea to chase you Crystal Palace, and the golden-winged bird on the Buddha's head will also pull out your three feathers." Even if you die, you won't die very comfortably, and the torture instruments in our Jinyiwei's cell are not used as decorations. ”
Seeing that Nangong Junzhe's tricks had changed, the man in black didn't dare to be careless, and resisted cautiously: "Nangong Xiao'er, don't talk too much, who will kill the deer today, and whose family will the flowers fall is not certain, just by mouth, you want to save the thief and dog official, you are also delusional, thinking that you were born and died with my owner, I wanted to let you live." You are also shameless, and I have no rules with you, you still have to think about it, after you die, will anyone come to collect your body. ”
Nangong Junzhe was shocked in his heart: "Ah, dog slave, even if you know your grandfather, then you should be obediently restrained, know my name, you must also be a person on this Kanto Road, don't you say it quickly, who are you?"
"You talk a lot of nonsense, I have already said just now, it was Xiao Lie and Yin Xuesong who spent a lot of money to invite me, if you don't believe it, you can ask them now, as if I lied to you. Although the man in black never softened his mouth, his body movements gradually slowed down.
Nangong Junzhe saw that his movements were slowing down, his heart was overjoyed, and he stepped up the strength of his hand, forcing the man in black to retreat, not to take half a step forward, and his mouth was not idle, and continued to say to him: "Dog thief, seeing that your moves have begun to be chaotic and undisciplined, you must be tired, so let's have a good chat, you take off your mask, tell me who you are, I will let you go immediately, and promise you that if you investigate this matter, it will not cause you harm." I've always been a man of my word, and I'm completely in charge of this, take your honorarium, and go far, and I'll be fine. ”
"Ahh Again, except for Xiao Lie and Yin Xuesong, no one else asked me to do this. The man in black was out of breath when he spoke, and the strength on his body was basically exhausted, and his moves were indeed the same as what Nangong Junzhe said, which was already chaotic. But his mouth is still hard: "Since you want to know, then let me tell you that Yin Xuesong wants to occupy the Kanto Road, he wants to be the king here, and he also wants to recruit soldiers and horses to rob the Zhu family's Jiangshan Sheji, even if it is to sacrifice the head of this thief and dog official today." Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth, I will not frame anyone, a manly man, you have to dare to act, this is not an unseemly thing. Isn't this how the Zhu family came from!"
This time the man in black can be regarded as completely irritating Nangong Junzhe, he is not talking nonsense with the thief Kouduo, and the big knife is whirring and windy.
Lord Liu was far away, hiding behind a pile of firewood and grass, and kept cheering Nangong Junzhe: "Lord Nangong, what a handsome knife technique, I want this person to live, don't kill him, if this person dies, it will be useless." We still have to interrogate in detail who is behind him to do all this. Lord Nangong, you also have to be more careful, my life will be in your hands. ”
Nangong Junzhe did not lose a penny in his hand, and shouted to Lord Liu in a high voice: "Lord Liu, don't worry, I won't let him run away, you just hide there, don't come out, in case this little dog jumps off the wall in a hurry and hurts you, my lord, I can't explain to the court and Xiao Lie." ”
In the gap between Nangong Junzhe and Lord Liu's shouting, the man in black grabbed a flaw in Nangong Junzhe, raised his Emei thorn and stabbed Nangong Junzhe dozens of times in front of him, Nangong Junzhe took a few rare steps back, and it was these few steps that gave the man in black time to escape.
The man in black saw Nangong Junzhe retreating, turned around and ran. How could Nangong Junzhe give him this opportunity, and chased after him. The two of you chased me and ran a few streets, and the man in black was in a hurry, and as soon as he raised his hand backwards, he threw the Emei thorn at Nangong Junzhe. Nangong Junzhe retreated to dodge, the man in black stiffened his waist and eyes, jumped to the roof next to him, and smiled at Nangong Junzhe: "Nangong Xiao'er, grandpa is tired today, so I won't play with you, you go back and tell Yin Xuesong and Xiao Lie that you have stopped watching this thief and dog official, and if you don't kill him, I will not give up." He turned his head and jumped a few times before disappearing.
Don't look at Nangong Junzhe's fierce sword skills, but this light skill is really indifferent, seeing that he can't catch up with this person, Nangong Junzhe has no choice but to return to the place just now. When he came to the firewood and straw stack, a surprised and stunned expression immediately appeared on his face, and the old man with a big mouth spoke for a long time: "But the pit killed me, how can I be called!"
