Chu Lie was disappointed, turned around and complained about Yu Linglong: "I think this young couple is gentle and reasonable, you are too suspicious." ”

Yu Linglong is in her early thirties, and she is the pearl of Yu Zhongxiao, the head of the Huitong Dart Bureau, and the wife of Xia Peiheng, another deputy general dart head of the General Bureau.

Hearing Chu Lie's count, she smiled slightly and said, "Let's go out, it's always good to be careful." ”

Diao Xiaosi agreed with Yu Linglong's approach in his heart, and interjected: "Old man Chu, Mr. Yu, everyone is leaving, let's go and find a place to eat." ”

Wan'er snorted coldly and didn't speak, but her expression seemed to be ridiculing Diao Xiaosi for being a wine bag and rice bag who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

Diao Xiaosi was furious in his heart, and turned his head to pretend not to see her.

At that moment, the four of them took a few good friends out of the Hongfu Inn, had dinner in the town's restaurant, and wandered along the street because it was still early.

Diao Xiaosi found that Chu Lie, Yu Linglong and others seemed to walk the streets and alleys inadvertently, but they trampled the entire town in a real way, and they didn't let go of every passer-by as far as they could.

He suddenly woke up, the old rivers and lakes are the old rivers and lakes, if anyone thinks that Chu Lie is just a rough and reckless man, sooner or later he will suffer.

After walking around, they didn't find anything unusual in the town, and when they saw that it was dark, they walked in the direction of Hongfu Inn.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the streets, and someone exclaimed, "Kill, kill—"

As soon as Diao Xiaosi looked at it, he saw people at the east end of the street turning over on their backs, and the couple surnamed Chai who had met before were being besieged by seven or eight black-clothed people. The two fought and retreated, stumbling in the direction of the Hongfu Inn.

That Chai Gongzi's cultivation is very strong, but he has no choice but to be invincible with two fists and four hands, and he needs to be distracted to protect his beloved wife, and he is in a precarious situation with two knife wounds. However, Mrs. Chai was safe and sound under the protection of her husband's life, but she also fought hard with the enemy with her sword, hoping to reduce the burden of Chai Gongzi.

Seeing this, Wan'er frowned and said, "Those people in black are ruthless and vicious with more bullying and less, it's definitely not a good thing!"

Chu Lie responded: "Yes, let's save people first, and then ask for clarification later!" took out the treasure knife "Fierce Fire", and shouted loudly: "Chai Gongzi, come this way!"

Yu Linglong secretly laughed bitterly, but she no longer dissuaded, and also drew out the fairy sword and followed Chu Lie into the battle group.

When those dart masters saw that the two darts had moved, they would be polite, and they rushed to kill one by one.

Wan'er glanced at Diao Xiaosi and said, "Fourth uncle, why don't you make a move?"

Diao Xiaosi smiled and said, "If I go, there will be something wrong with Old Man Chu." ”

"Bah......!" Wan'er scolded and ignored him, and rushed over with her sword.

By the time Diao Xiaosi arrived unhurriedly, the fight on the street had already ended. How could the few black-clothed men who chased and killed Chai Gongzi and his wife withstand the wolf-like slashing of the dart bureau and the dart masters. In the end, Yu Linglong and Chu Lie didn't want to make trouble, so they were allowed to flee with their heads in their hands.

While bandaging her husband's wounds, Mrs. Chai thanked everyone and said, "Thanks to your help with your swords, otherwise the foolish couple would have been killed by these thieves today." ”

Wan'er said: "Madame doesn't have to be polite. It is really rampant that these thieves dare to commit murder in the streets in broad daylight!"

Before the words fell, I saw Diao Xiaosi standing in the outer circle with his hands behind his back and looking up at the sky and said, "Oh, it's really bright this day!"

At that time, the sun had already set, the night was dark, the moon was dark and the stars were sparse, and it couldn't match a bright word.

When everyone heard him tease Wan'er, they all smiled, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Wan'er glanced at Diao Xiaosi, this guy always takes the opportunity to take revenge on himself, which shows how this person has a small belly and chicken intestines.

Yu Linglong asked, "Mrs. Chai, the cultivation of those black-clothed people is not low, what is the origin?"

Mrs. Chai hesitated and looked at her husband. Chai Gongzi nodded slightly and said: "Sister Ning, the whereabouts of the left and right have been revealed, and there is no need to hide it anymore, let's treat people with sincerity." ”

Diao Xiaosi can see it, dare to love this young couple with a clear division of labor, listen to his wife for small things, and listen to his husband for big things.

Mrs. Chai nodded and said in a low voice: "My grandson's surname is Chai, and his single name is a Shao character." The younger sister Li Xiuning is the daughter of Tang Guogong of Jinyang Mansion. ”

Yu Linglong was taken aback and said: "It turns out that the two are Cheshire Ma and his wife, please add more Haihan if they have offended a lot before." ”

It is necessary to know that since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, and Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, sat in Jinyang, and his fierce generals were like tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and he was a first-class feudal official of the dynasty. Although the Huitong Dart Bureau is the first golden signboard of the Bashu Dart Company, there are still many scruples in front of the official Tianwei.

Li Xiuning hurriedly said: "Mr. Yu doesn't need to be polite, your life-saving grace and foolish couple are in mind, and he will definitely be rewarded in the future." ”

After everyone had finished talking, they returned to the Hongfu Inn, and they sat down in the hall to continue talking.

Li Xiuning said: "This time, the foolish couple went to Qingcheng Mountain to visit their younger brother Yuanba on the order of their father, and they never thought that they would be intercepted and killed on the way back. It's a pity that I can't figure out the origin of these people, and I think it's nothing more than my father's enemies in the past. ”

Chu Lie said: "Those black-clothed people may not make a comeback, and the county lord and his wife need to be more careful." ”

Chai Shao replied at this time: "With Lao Chu's old dart head care, it will not be in the way when he enters Shaanxi after Daba Mountain." ”

Chu Lie and Yu Linglong glanced at each other, and they both understood that Chai Shao and his wife must have arranged for them in Shaanxi. The two of them don't want to be troublesome, first, they still have the heavy task of attacking Daba Mountain Tiger Gezhai, and second, they come from the ancient wealthy family's grievances and strange and unpredictable.

Wan'er didn't think so much, and said worriedly: "From Yunyang to Shaanxi, there are still hundreds of miles of mountain roads, and the Cheshire horse is injured again, what if the thieves attack?"

Diao Xiaosi said with a smile: "Aren't we just going to Daba Mountain, if the Cheshire horse doesn't dislike it, we will simply escort the two of you on the way." Of course, the amount of remuneration for this dart trip has to be decided by Old Man Chu and Mr. Yu. ”

Yu Linglong was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help nodding her head in praise after thinking about it carefully. In this way, the fact that everyone rescued the Cheshire Lord and his wife from the knife of the black-clothed killer became a entrusted bodyguard who took people's money and people to eliminate disasters, and no one could say a word of gossip. After all, no one knows what kind of backer is hidden behind the man in black, and if he comes to the door one day, maybe Tang Guogong will need to come forward. Now selling him a huge favor is beneficial and harmless.

She has always been known as a female thinker who knows how to pass the dart game, but she still needs to think carefully for a long time in this matter to figure out the powerful relationship, but Diao Xiaosi said it casually, and her wit and flexibility are so flexible, it is no wonder that Geng Nanyi and Chu Lie will look at him differently.

At that moment, Yu Linglong took over the conversation and said, "We are also doing our best, where are we embarrassed to receive another payment?"

Li Xiuning looked at Chai Shao as usual, and when he saw him bowing his head silently, he smiled coquettishly and said: "The dart is to the dart, and the personal relationship is to the private relationship, and we must give the reward, otherwise I will return to Jinyang and let the second brother know the way, and I will inevitably blame me for being ignorant." ”

Yu Linglong secretly praised "such a smart and sensible girl", and then pushed the boat down the river and no longer shirked.

In the end, it doesn't matter how much you are paid, but this head-to-head dart game is a must.

After everyone's plan was decided, Chai Shao and his wife did not look for another place to live, and settled down in the Hongfu Inn for the night.

Chu Lie originally planned to vacate the upper room where he and Diao Xiaosi lived, but Chai Shao refused to agree to anything. In the end, it was Li Xiuning's idea to let Chai Shao share a room with Chu Lie and Diao Xiaosi, and he slept in Yu Linglong and Wan'er's room, so that he could take care of each other without having to vacate the room.

That night, Diao Xiaosi and Chu Lie talked with Chai Shao at night, talking about some anecdotes about the customs and customs of Bashu and Qin Jin, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

Chai Shao is wooden, and he doesn't like to say much, but his experience and knowledge are not inferior to old rivers and lakes like Chu Lie. In particular, he is the respect of the county horse of the Guogong Mansion, and he lies in the same room with this old and young man, without any frame, which is even more impressive.

Diao Xiaosi chatted excitedly, jumped out of bed and said, "I'll go to the room to see what supper is, and if I'm lucky, I'll bring back two jars of good wine." ”

He pushed the door out of the house and walked straight to the kitchen, and when he passed through a waterfront corridor, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and slowly walked back, standing under the eaves of the porch and staring.

Suddenly, I heard Wan'er shouting behind her back: "Hey, what bad things do you want to do sneakily?"

Diao Xiaosi was startled, and when he turned around and saw that it was Wan'er, he hurriedly put his index finger to his lips and gently "shhh

Wan'er was stunned, walked to Diao Xiaosi's side, looked up like him, but found nothing, and couldn't help but snort: "Diao Xiaosi, what kind of fame are you doing?"

Diao Xiaosi looked left and right to make sure that there was no third person nearby, so he lowered his voice and said, "You count how many lanterns hang in the corridor, and then estimate the distance between these lanterns and the distance between them and the columns." ”

Wan'er was curious, and observed carefully for a while according to Diao Xiaosi's instructions, and unconsciously lowered her voice and said: "There are a total of fourteen lanterns on both sides of the corridor, which are hung in pairs, and the distance between the same row should be about one zhang and four feet, as if there are three hanging in every two pillars, adding up to twelve, and the other two are just above our heads." Why, do you see anything odd?"

Diao Xiaosi smiled at her and said, "No matter how weird you are, you can't compare to you." ”

Without waiting for Wan'er to be angry, he continued: "This is a kind of formation variable in Qimen Dunjia, the upper should be seven stars stepping on the moon, and the lower four elephants are locked in the sun, once you fall into it, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die." ”

Wan'er looked at Diao Xiaosi suspiciously: "Are you trying to deceive people again?" We have already sent someone to find out the bottom of this inn, it can't be a black shop. ”

"Stupid, do you think that the paintings on the lanterns and pillars are only flowers, grasses, insects and birds?" Diao Xiaosi scolded in a low voice: "The little thief in the ordinary black shop can understand the seven stars stepping on the moon and the four elephants locking the sun? If the old man Geng was here, he would have seen through it at a glance and arrested the shopkeeper for interrogation." ”

Wan'er said angrily: "Who are you scolding for being stupid? What does it matter to you when people hang a few lanterns, you like to pretend to be a ghost and make people admire you." ”

Diao Xiaosi said: "I don't have to admire Miss Geng, do you dare to walk back and forth under the corridor?"

Wan'er actually believed Diao Xiaosi's words in her heart, but she was unwilling to give in to this kid, so she raised her head and said, "Let's go, you go with me!" After that, she grabbed Diao Xiaosi's arm and walked into the corridor.
