"So you want to kidnap Wang Wan and rescue your father?" asked Diao Xiaosi.
Liu Xingyu nodded and said: "Wang Wan is the favorite son of Wang Shiwei, the king of Chu, if I can catch him, I will definitely be able to force them to release him, but unfortunately I failed." This is a surprise to the snake, and it will be difficult to find another opportunity in the future. My daddy ......" Her eyes turned red and tears erupted.
Before Diao Xiaosi came to Luoyang, he also got to know Wang Shichong, and knew that his parents were very capable of giving birth, a nest of brothers and sisters, including Wang Shishi, Wang Shiheng, Wang Shiwei and Wang Shihui, plus Wang Shichong, and called the five tiger generals of the Wangmen, and the core members of the Dazheng royal family today.
Liu Xingyu wiped away her tears and said, "Anyway, you saved me, and I should thank you." But I don't know who you are?"
Diao Xiaosi reported on the pseudonym: "My surname is Hua, my name is Tielu, and I go south and north to sell dog skin plasters and strong pills." ”
Liu Xingyu knew that Diao Xiaosi was lying, at least the golden medicine he applied to his wound could not be prepared even if the most famous Lang Zhong invited by the Longmen Dart Bureau.
She gradually calmed down, and vaguely heard the rumbling sound of water rushing outside the grotto, and said in surprise: "Are we in the Longmen Grottoes, how did you get out of the city?"
Diao Xiaosi said disapprovingly: "Lao Tzu is poor and falls into the Yellow Spring, and a Luoyang City is like a small pond, and you can step over it with one leg." ”
"Hua Yingying, can you help me?" Liu Xingyu suddenly pleaded: "As long as I can save my father, I, I can agree to any request!"
"Huh-", so quickly made up his mind to make a beauty plan? Looking at this little girl's shy appearance, although the sea was once difficult to water, but Wushan is also a cloud.
But when I think of Wan'er and Princess Xiaoniangpi, they are both people who have no shortage of means and courage, even if Zisu is still well-behaved and gentle, who can guarantee that her grandfather will not drug his own food?
Thinking of this, Diao Xiaosi shuddered, all his thoughts disappeared, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Girl, do you think I am the one who wants to repay the favor?"
Liu Xingyu was pleasantly surprised: "Are you really willing to help me rescue my father?"
Diao Xiaosi said: "Hmm...... It's not difficult to rescue your old man, and I don't need to do anything. Don't always think about fighting and killing, always look at money in the future. Money can make ghosts grind, as long as you are willing to spend money, buy off one or two of Wang Shichong's cronies, and keep it as a matter of course. ”
Liu Xingyu was disappointed, thinking that Diao Xiaosi was deliberately pushing off and refusing to help, so he lowered his head and said, "Either I will pay you for it, no matter how high the price is, it is not a problem." ”
Diao Xiaosi said in his heart that the little girl has long hair and short knowledge, and talks about her net worth with Lao Tzu, do you think that her father is a gangster boss?
He smiled and said: "I'm very busy, busy saving the common people and unifying the world, and I don't have time to care about these trivial things." ”
Liu Xingyu bit her lip lightly and said, "I'll give you five thousand taels of silver." ”
Diao Xiaosi didn't blink his eyes, and Zhengse refused: "The big husband can't bend in might, and he can't be lewd if he is rich!"
"Ten thousand!" Liu Xingyu did not give up, and continued to increase the price: "Fifteen thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand......"
Diao Xiaosi was unmoved, and said: "Girl, do you know that there are some things in the Dao that can't be bought with silver? Don't say that there are 8,000 children, what if it is 20,000 or 30,000? Heroes, they will not bend their waists for silver!"
"Fifty thousand," Liu Xingyu's dark eyes flashed and stared at Diao Xiaosi, and said word for word: "Gold!"
"Deal!" Diao Xiaosi stretched out his hand boldly, and said without thinking: "A gentleman's word, a quick whip!"
Liu Xingyu and Diao Xiaosi clapped their hands lightly and said, "I will pay you half of the deposit in three days, and cash out the remaining 25,000 taels as soon as the matter is completed." ”
Diao Xiaosi was a little uneasy and said, "Can you take out 50,000 taels at once...... Gold coming?"
Liu Xingyu nodded, and Diao Xiaosi asked, "Say, where is your old man locked up, I'll fish him out when I catch Ming'er." The prison of the Criminal Department, the Luoyang Prison?"
Liu Xingyu shook his head and said in a low voice: "No, my father was locked up by them in the White Horse Temple outside Luoyang City." ”
"White Horse Temple?" Diao Xiaosi's body trembled, that is the old nest of Emei Ci'en Temple in Luoyang, and the old monk of Dongding will open the altar to preach the Dharma every fifteenth day of the new year.
He begged softly, "Girl, can you give me another five taels of silver?"
Liu Xingyu was stunned, and said uncertainly: "What's the use of you asking for an extra five taels of silver?"
Diao Xiaosi replied: "Of course, I will find a feng shui treasure for myself, and then order a high-quality Nanmu coffin, so that Lao Tzu will not even have a place to bury it in case of a fart." ”
In this way, Diao Xiaosi made a big deal of 50,000 taels of gold, with a piece of land and a coffin as a gift, and his mood was a little brighter. He and Liu Xingyu agreed to meet three days later to collect the money, so he took advantage of the night to return to Luoyang City and go to Xu Maogong.
Putting on a human skin mask that he had begged from Liu Xingyu and wearing the uniform of the official of Luoyang Mansion, Diao Xiaosi avoided the big Zheng soldiers patrolling the street and came to the alley outside the inn.
As soon as he approached the fence in the backyard of the inn, Diao Xiaosi immediately noticed that the inside and outside of the inn had been secretly monitored. Although the cultivation of these guys is not enough, they are still low-key and hard working in other people's acres and thirds of land.
Soon, Diao Xiaosi's head grew three times, and he thought of a very serious problem - he couldn't find an organization.
He was not worried that Xu Maogong would be caught by the government, and with the cleverness of the bull's nose, he would definitely not stupidly throw himself into the net. But in the huge Luoyang City, if you want to find a worker behind enemy lines who is willing to hide from the government, this is not to find a needle from the sea, but to fish for the sea from the eye of the needle.
What should I do? Diao Xiaosi's brain teasers spun rapidly, and it was obviously not a good way to take the risk of contacting Li Tang's few remaining hidden piles in Luoyang City. Not to mention that they may not know the whereabouts of the bull nose, they are more likely to cause trouble for themselves.
He pretended to be passing, walked slowly along the wall in the backyard of the inn, and scolded Liu Xingyu in his stomach for being a bad girl, and the next time he saw her, he had to calculate the compensation fee, or he could relieve the evil breath in the heart of the little fourth master.
After a while, Diao Xiaosi walked to the corner of the wall, and there was a man named Huazi lying on the ground not far in front of him, and a broken porcelain bowl was placed in front of him, which was empty and there was no copper plate.
He passed by Huazi, thought about it and retreated, took out a string of copper coins from his sleeve pocket, threw it into the broken porcelain bowl and asked, "How to get to General Qin Qiong's mansion?"
Who knew that after waiting for a long time to call Huazi and not moving, Diao Xiaosi was stunned and bent down to turn him over, but he was dead.
Diao Xiaosi secretly screamed, and looked left and right that there was no one in the neighborhood, but he was afraid that no one would come to collect the body until tomorrow morning, and then transport it to the outside of the city to bury it on the spot.
He picked up the string of copper coins in the broken porcelain bowl, sighed and said, "Brother, you sleep well here, I won't accompany you." With that, he got up and walked forward, trying to find a place to stay before curfew.
But just after walking not far away, Diao Xiaosi retreated step by step to the corpse called Huazi, stared at him for a moment, and said, "Brother, you are lucky to meet a kind person." Reincarnated in the coming year, but remember to repay. Picking up the corpse called Hanako, he quickly walked out of the door.
With such a corpse, of course, no inn would be willing to take him in, let alone the long-awaited Luoyang Qinglou. After searching, Diao Xiaosi finally found a small shack made of reeds and thatch by Luoshui, and when he saw that there was no one living in it, he threw the body of Huazi into it.
He sat down in the reeds on the bank of Luoshui, washed his face, dipped his feet in the cool water, and thought about his plans for tomorrow.
The moon was sparse in the night sky, and large clouds drifted by like cotton wool, occasionally obscuring the moon's face.
The surroundings are silent, and it is not yet the season of summer insects, and the night breeze slowly blows the clothes.
Diao Xiaosi suddenly felt a little bored, raised his head and looked up at the vast sky, and was distracted.
He knew that Li Shimin was lying to himself, and there was no information about Princess Jincheng sneaking into Luoyang, which was at most just a speculation to catch the wind and shadows.
But he still decided to come to Luoyang to have a look, even if the blind cat will eventually have a character explosion and bump into the dead mouse one day.
Diao Xiaosi is just strange, why did the princess Xiaoniangpi suddenly leave him, and cut off all news?
After thinking about it, he felt that the problem must be with Princess Nanyang. Otherwise, Princess Jincheng didn't leave sooner or later, why did she inexplicably come to the world at that time and evaporate?
- No, Lao Tzu must find her, hug and kiss, no matter what, I have to rush home to be a wife and love.
Diao Xiaosi grabbed a stone and threw it into the water.
"Tom!" the stone fell into the river, and the ripples rippled on the water, slowly melting the bright moon in the sky.
He let out a sigh of relief, slowly stood up, and turned his head to look at the two dark shadows tiptoeing close behind him.
The two black shadows were stunned for a moment, and found that Diao Xiaosi was wearing the official uniform. But what happened to the servants? The moon was dark and the night of murder, and the wind was high and the sky was set on fire. He was single, but he had two brothers.
The slightly taller black shadow suddenly pulled out a shiny dagger from his boot and whispered, "Don't move, fight, rob!"
Diao Xiaosi's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and beckoned to the two guys: "Come here." ”
"What are you doing?" the two guys approached Diao Xiaosi's side suspiciously, pointed at him with daggers and said, "Don't play tricks!"
Without saying a word, Diao Xiaosi reached out and grabbed the heads of the two guys, kicked to the ground with a "bang", grabbed the dagger and slashed it in front of the two, and shouted coldly: "Don't move, rob!"
The two guys looked at each other, only to realize that the passing years were not conducive to meeting the black-hearted servants.
The short one begged for mercy: "The official spares his life, the younger brother came out to mix on the first day, he doesn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, and he won't dare next time." ”
Diao Xiaosi didn't answer, his eyes stared at the tall one for a long time, nodded and said, "Well, it's you." ”
The tall gangster was stared at by Diao Xiaosi and had goosebumps all over his body, and he couldn't help but think of a special hobby that circulated among the princes and nobles of Luoyang, and suddenly his soul flew away and his face turned pale and said, "You, what are you going to do?"
Diao Xiaosi urged: "Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu doesn't want your life." Quick, take off your clothes and strip naked!"
When the voice fell, I heard two splashes of water, and the two thugs rolled into the river desperately, shouting while splashing in the water: "Come on, help......"
