Chapter 196: Flower Protection Tools
Listening to his words, the three people on the side, you look at me and I look at you, and they were immediately stunned.
Chief Manager Yao stood up even more shocked: "What! Three Pharaohs, ...... he?"
Xie Gongbao was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a loud sound in the lobby.
The faces of the people in the room changed suddenly, and they opened the crack in the door to peek down.
It turned out that a group of officers and soldiers kicked the door and broke into the store, these officers and soldiers were all armed with knives, fierce and vicious, and the leader was even more arrogant. Liu Sanniang and the others sat in the corner of the lobby, and they did not show weakness between eating and drinking, and cast a fierce light to confront them.
"Ouch, why do you still have a knife, that's not the case. ”
The shopkeeper saw that the atmosphere was not right, and stepped forward happily, and waved the sweaty silk handkerchief to the faces of the officers and soldiers: "It's really time for you to come, I just brewed a batch of good wine here, even if you have a good mouth, don't be stupid, sit down, I'll go and tell the kitchen to prepare snacks." ”
The leader looked at the shopkeeper and immediately changed into a thief smiling.
and stared straight at the shopkeeper's chest, and said with a greedy saliva:
"Shopkeeper Mei's milk, ah no, Shopkeeper Mei's wine must be sweet and delicious, but it's a pity that I have military affairs in my position today, so I won't drink it for the time being, and I'll come over to taste it when I'm free." After being greedy, he straightened his face again and shouted to the officers and soldiers behind him: "A few of you go up and search door to door, and all the guests in the store will be escorted to the lobby." ”
All the officers and soldiers should have raised their knives to search the guest rooms.
At this time, Shopkeeper Mei's face sank and blocked the staircase:
"Stop! I was so angry just now, why did you turn your face in the blink of an eye? What kind of military affairs are on your body, I think you are here to make trouble! Is it easy for the old lady to do some small business outside the wilderness, I can't get used to you, if you let me come nonsense, what will I do in the future, you want me to drink the northwest wind!"
The leader smiled dryly: "Who dares to be wild in the place where Mei is in charge, we are just acting on orders, and it is really helpless to beg for mercy." Please make it convenient for the shopkeeper Mei, and ensure that he is polite and polite, and does not act rudely to the guests, do you think it is okay?"
"That's pretty much it, to put it mildly. ”
Shopkeeper Mei smiled at the corner of his mouth and got out of the way.
......
......
Seeing the officers and soldiers going upstairs, Xie Gongbao said: "Oops! Stop them quickly!"
When the four of them heard the crisis, they didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, and opened the door with Xie Gongbao and flashed out, blocking the second staircase. The officers and soldiers went up to the level and asked them to give way, but Xie Gongbao smiled: "We are businessmen who go south and north, and the goods we go this time are worth a fortune, and the owner explained that no one should be allowed to approach when I go out, so I also ask the military master to raise his noble hand and not to search, it is better to do this, I will set up a table as an atonement, I don't know if it is possible?"
The leader snorted coldly, didn't pay attention to Xie Gongbao, and said to the shopkeeper Mei: "Shopkeeper Mei, these guests are not like ordinary roads, and they promise you to be polite, but they obstruct it, so it's no wonder to me." With a wave of his hand, the soldiers drew their swords one after another.
But just as the soldiers drew their swords, Liu Sanniang and the others in the hall also slapped the table.
The confrontation between the two sides was instantaneous, and the air condensed, and there was a sense of suddenness.
These officers and men usually act as powerful and prosperous, and they have expected such a situation on several occasions.
In their view, all obstructions would be lifted as long as the sword was drawn.
Which material knife was pulled, and the resistance was not solved, but it aroused public anger.
The leader noticed that Xie Gongbao and even Liu Sanniang in the hall were as fierce as knives, and immediately shivered, and pointed at everyone: "Okay, okay! It seems that the appearance of Changyang Hou Ling is really not simple." Although he was angry, he didn't dare to come hard, so he ordered the soldiers to guard the door of the store, and he went to the barracks.
......
......
After the situation was under control, Xie Gongbao and Manager Yao pushed the door into the house again.
The two were about to talk, Liu Sanniang broke into the house, and angrily shouted at Xie Gongbao: "They want to search, just search, what are you making trouble! Now it's okay, Qiao Mubai will be there in a while, he knows me and Manager Yao, and you will teach me what to do when we meet later!"
"Time is of the essence now, and I don't want to argue with you. ”
Xie Gongbao didn't bother to pay attention to Liu Sanniang, put it aside, and then invited Manager Yao to sit down, and then said: "Manager Yao, the situation is serious, I can't help but tell you about this matter, in short, I tell you to listen, and don't interject." Seeing that Mr. Yao straightened his waist and listened, he told all the reasons why the imperial privet and Xiong Muyan stayed in the wild shop, and he didn't hide it during the period, and said as much as he knew.
However, Xie Gongbao's statement was too terrifying for Manager Yao and Liu Sanniang.
So much so that after hearing this, their eyes opened as wide as the mouth of a bowl, and they were completely stunned.
Manager Yao came back to his senses, couldn't believe it, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Childe said...... Is all this true?"
Liu Sanniang was even more suspicious, and took over the conversation and asked: "No, you said that the princess and the three pharaohs stayed in the wild shop, and you recognized them at a glance, which is very problematic." The princess was in trouble at a young age, and she was adrift in a foreign land, and we didn't even know her, how did you recognize her at a glance? Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, the most important thing is to solve the princess's predicament. ”
At the moment, Xie Gongbao didn't want to waste a little time, he pushed open the window and looked down: "As expected, there are officers and soldiers guarding the lobby, and there are also sentry posts in front of and behind the house, and the worst thing is that this place is too close to the Yousang military camp, once there is any change in Yedian, the military camp will react." It's a pity that Heihu Mountain has been injured so far, and I still have three points of injury that have not healed, otherwise it will not be difficult to save the princess, since it will not work, then I have to think of other ways. ”
Manager Yao nodded: "That's right, let's go, meet the princess first, and then make plans." ”
Xie Gongbao stopped with his hand: "Wait, no matter how anxious you are, you can't mess up." Let me analyze the current situation first, Qiao Mubai is blocking the road, and he doesn't see a single soldier of the city defense army, how can he rest assured, maybe he sent someone to search to eliminate doubts, what he wants to search is just an old man and a young man who holds the order of the Marquis of Changyang, as for the identity of the person who holds the order, Qiao Mubai is not clear, that is to say, the whereabouts of the princess have not been exposed, based on this, we have room for maneuver. - Chief Yao, the reason why I obstructed the search of the officers and soldiers was for two purposes, one was that I didn't want the princess to be exposed, so as not to cause an irreparable situation; ”
"Phew, put me on the fire and roast me, why!"
Liu Sanniang slapped the table and shrugged up, staring at Xie Gongbao condescendingly.
Her nose is sore and her eyes are full of tears, I don't know how wronged she is?
Aggrieved nails snap into the cracks of the tabletop, causing bleeding without realizing it.
That's right, Xie Gongbao pushed her to the forefront, and it can indeed solve the danger of the princess, and she herself is willing to do so, but this method comes out of Xie Gongbao's mouth, which is naked humiliation and contempt. No matter what, she is also the daughter of the Hou Mansion, so she will not be so lowly that she will be used by others and become someone else's flower protection tool. What's more, putting aside the identity of the princess, between the two women, Xie Gongbao chose to pull her into the water in order to achieve the purpose of protecting the princess, which had to make her feel humiliated.
