Chapter 321: Hongmen Banquet (I)
Fang Muru cowered and knelt in the room. From time to time, the eyes glanced at Chen Ao, who yawned from time to time because of lack of sleep.
He was still confused in his mind, not knowing what was going on, and he didn't know where the young man in front of him was. Of course, his cleverness has already guessed what this place is.
It's so close to the town, and it's on the mountain, of course, it's the Shaolin Temple. Fang Muru also heard that Shaolin Temple will hold a martial arts event in the near future, and many martial arts people will come to Shaolin Mountain. Two days ago, he was wondering if he should sell some souvenirs and take the opportunity to make a small profit.
The young man in front of him who arrested him obviously also came to participate in the martial arts conference. In this way, the gangster that Liang Gongzi said is this person. But the monk sitting next to him was actually a senior monk of the Shaolin Jingzi generation, which made Fang Muru even more confused. How could a Shaolin monk get involved with the gangsters? Isn't this the prestige of our Shaolin Temple?
Fang Muru secretly pondered Chen Ao in his heart, but Chen Ao didn't have the heart to pay attention to him. He paced back and forth in the house for a few steps, and suddenly said, "You say, what are those two Nangong Jun's subordinates doing when they go to the backmountain vegetable field for no reason?"
Qin Lang shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Maybe Nangong Jun wants to eat fresh vegetables." ”
He is very good at martial arts, but he doesn't like to use his brain very much. Chen Ao glared at him helplessly, he really hated that iron could not become steel. Zhao Ling and Jingchen came to their senses, and they suddenly felt that this was very suspicious.
Jingchen frowned and said: "The back mountain has always been rarely visited, if it is used to hide people, it is really a convenient place!"
Zhao Ling nodded and said, "And out of the back door, you will be able to arrive soon." If Nangong Jun forced Master Jingxiang to write a handwritten letter, he would soon be able to return to the temple. If that's the case, then those two guards are the ones in charge of guarding several masters!"
Qin Lang only understood at this time, and said in surprise: "No, the dignified abbot of Shaolin Temple, others are locked up in the place where vegetables are grown and dung!"
Feng Hu glanced at him and deliberately stood a few steps away, so as not to be misunderstood that he was with Qin Lang.
Chen Ao smiled bitterly twice and said, "You are really an afterthought!"
Qin Lang rolled up his sleeves and said, "Helmsman, since this is the case, what are we waiting for? Let's go and rescue a few masters!"
Zhao Ling hurriedly said: "Slow! Liang Xiaoya is going to be taken up the mountain today, and she will inevitably be locked up there." We'll have to wait!"
Chen Ao also chimed in: "That's right. We only have one chance. If you can't save everyone and startle the snake, the rest of the matter will be difficult!"
As soon as the words fell, someone outside the door suddenly shouted: "The little one is Qiao Jiulang, the subordinate of the Grand Prince of Nangong, who came to invite Miss Zhao and Master Chen to the luncheon on the order of the Grand Prince of Nangong!"
"Going to the banquet?" Chen Ao and Zhao Ling glanced at each other, both showing suspicious looks.
The voice of the man outside the door was very familiar, it was the head of the steward who commanded the move I saw yesterday. Zhao Ling's face was worried, thinking in his heart, it's coming so fast!
Chen Ao thought, in the monk's temple, what kind of food is delicious? This Nangong Jun actually wants to play the Hongmen banquet routine with Lao Tzu, which is not very clever! Lao Tzu has eaten Liang Sizhi's Hongmen banquet in Liangcheng, didn't Liang Sizhi tell him the lesson?
Although Chen Ao thought so, he gave himself a bigger emboldening component. Because he also knew that when he first came to Liangcheng, it was entirely because Liang Sizhi didn't want to get rid of him in a hurry. But now that the two sides have been tense, where will there be such a fluke as last time?
He was thinking about it as he opened the door. Qiao Jiulang's annoying face appeared in front of Chen Ao. Although he was respectful, he always had a sly philistine expression on his face.
This person has been serving Nangong Jun all the year round, and he is very clear about this master's thoughts. Of course, Qiao Jiulang knew that Nangong Jun was going to deal with Chen Ao and Zhao Ling.
When he saw Chen Ao smiling, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he had also met people who had offended the eldest prince before. But none of those people are trembling, either going to the door to make amends, or going away to fly away. The two of them were fine, and they sat in the room drinking tea as if they were nothing.
Thinking so in his heart, Qiao Jiulang looked into the room. Jingchen had already flashed to the side, and Qiao Jiulang could only see Zhao Ling and Fang Muru with his back to him. Standing on the side were Qin Lang and Feng Hu, both men with tigers on their backs. Feng Hu's eyes were cold, and he glared at Qiao Jiulang. Qiao Jiulang shuddered and hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
He said his intention again, and then said: "The time is at three o'clock, Master Chen and Miss Zhao, you must come when the time comes." Otherwise, the eldest prince will be unhappy!"
After Qiao Jiulang finished saying this slightly threatening sentence, he walked away. Chen Ao glared at his back, snorted, and closed the door reflexively.
Jingchen walked out from behind the door and said, "It looks like Nangong Jun wants to attack you!"
Chen Ao nodded, and said hatefully: "I just don't let Lao Tzu refuse!"
Zhao Ling said: "Maybe this also shows one thing, Liang Xiaoya is very likely to have arrived! Now it is less than an hour before the banquet, we have to hurry up and prepare!"
Chen Ao nodded, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Fang Muru who was kneeling on the ground with his eyes glazed. The boy had been listening to their plan, his eyes were rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Chen Ao didn't dare to let him go at this time, so he had to whisper a few words to Jingchen, and then said: "Master, now outside this house, there must be Nangong Jun's people watching. I have to work hard for you to go to the back mountain to save people. ”
Jingchen's face was solemn, and he said: "This is the purpose of the poor monk here, let alone hard work." ”
Zhao Ling said worriedly: "Master, now that the guests of the martial arts conference have not gone up the mountain, we must not be able to tear our faces with Nangong Jun so quickly." Otherwise, even if we are lucky enough to win, the news will spread to the capital. When the time comes, not only will we be in trouble, but even the Shaolin Temple will suffer! Master, be careful!"
Jingchen smiled indifferently and said, "The poor monk has traveled half the world, and he doesn't take these people seriously. ”
After he finished speaking, he grabbed Fang Muru's collar, jumped to the ground, and suddenly jumped out of the window. He moved extremely fast, Fang Muru didn't even have time to scream, he was already in mid-air.
The person who was in charge of monitoring Chen Ao and Zhao Ling outside only saw a flash of white shadows, and he just thought that he was dazzled and didn't care at all.
Chen Ao believed in Jingchen's strength, and it would never be a problem to deal with a few of Nangong Jun's subordinates. The biggest question now is how to survive today's lunch.
Zhao Ling was already explaining to Feng Hu and asked him to bring all the men to ambush. If the situation is really urgent, then there is no need to care too much, so you can only rush up and fight to break the net.
Chen Ao knew that although the number of people in these Ghost Hidden Society was small, they were fully equipped. What short crossbows, poison darts, smoke, etc., you name it. If it is a sudden attack, it may not be impossible to gain the upper hand.
Chen Ao sighed and thought to himself, Lao Tzu's good life has just begun, is it about to live a life of fleeing the rivers and lakes? Liang Xiaoya doesn't know if An is not safe. Today's lunch, if you don't do it, you should not do it!
