Because he was worried that the gang of bandits and spies would go first, Liang Yan only took the small road instead of the main road. He couldn't run anymore, so he only dared to take a rest by the tree for a few breaths, and then continued on his way.
When he ran to the door of the inn, he found that seven fast horses had parked there.
"Come on, I didn't expect them to ride so fast, but they've already arrived. After all, I'm still one step late."
...
Inside the teahouse.
"Boss, we've checked everything around here. There's no one there, but there's an old monk in this teahouse."
Chen Lin frowned and said, "Old monk? Let me go and have a look."
Everyone followed him inside. Go, wait until the door of that room, Chen Lin secretly sensed it, and confirmed that there was no spiritual power fluctuation in the old monk's body, then he was relieved and winked at Cheng Laoer.
The latter understood, with a ferocious look on his face, he was about to enter the door and end the old monk's life.
At this time, a person outside the teahouse suddenly shouted loudly:
"Old god stick, your luck has come, the lottery you gave to my lady yesterday, she believed it, and specially ordered me to come back to you, and wanted to say goodbye to you." Ask for a lottery."
As soon as the words were finished, the door opened with a bang, and a boy in his teens came in, tall and thin, dressed in gray linen, with a bundle in his hand.
"Don't worry, I won't let you count in vain, I brought..." Before he finished speaking, he seemed to notice everyone in the shop, and immediately fell silent, subconsciously hiding the burden in his hands behind his back.
Everyone in the store looked at each other and smiled, it seems that this kid brought money to ask for a lottery.
The second child of Cheng coughed and smiled kindly: "Little brother, are you here to find someone to ask for a lottery?"
The child looked terrified, and then he said with a strong courage: "Who are you? I will investigate."
Cheng Laoer was amused, and then thought of something, and asked in a harmonious voice: "You just said that you were ordered by your lady?" The child seemed to be emboldened
when he heard him ask this. She put her hips on her hips and said in a loud voice: "That's natural. My young lady is so charming. On weekdays, several princes from the royal family come to my house to get close. You're flattering us!"
It's okay if he didn't say anything, but when he said that, Cheng's second child's eyes leaked even more, and then he leaned into Chen Lin's ear and whispered a few times, and Chen Lin also nodded with a smile.
Cheng Laoer got his consent and said: "Little brother, the seven of us are all traveling businessmen, and it is fate to meet here today. After hearing what you said just now, we also admire your young lady very much. Please, little brother, please introduce us to one or two."
After hearing this, the child quickly shook his head, waved his hands and said, "No, no, my lady came to my hometown to worship the ancestors this time, and she promised to see no one. If I take you I must have my legs broken, and besides, your identities are unknown, so you may not be sure..."
He was waiting to say more, when he heard a bang, and saw Shi Laosan had already slapped the wooden table beside him , the wooden table was torn apart and scattered all over the floor.
"Boy, I advise you to be smart. Think about it, is it your brain that is hard, or this wooden table?"
The child was already dumbfounded, and muttered to himself: "You...you... ..."
Seeing this, Cheng Laoer coughed: "Little brother, we are just a group of traveling merchants, but our tempers are different. Although I am willing to reason with the little brother, but my friends I'm afraid I don't have the patience, so I advise the little brother to cooperate obediently, otherwise, hehe..." The threat in the words is already obvious.
The child lost his courage, and looked at them timidly like a frosted eggplant.
Seeing that he was already petrified, the second child Cheng said gently: "Don't worry, the seven of us love to make friends. Today I just want to see the beauty of the lady and make friends. I have no other intentions." The child seems to have been moved by
him , Weakly said: "In this case, I will introduce a few of you, I will not be out for a short time, some knights might as well borrow a horse."
Cheng Laoer nodded and said: "It should be like this. Then he winked at the two bandits next to him, and the two understood, and walked to the child in silence, sandwiching him indistinctly, obviously to prevent him from escaping.
It's just that they didn't notice the wry smile on the child's face the moment he turned around and walked out the door.
This child was naturally Liang Yan.
He had heard a few people talking in the jungle before, and guessed from their conversation that these people should be lustful, and in desperation, he came up with such a trick out of nothing, fabricating a beautiful lady to lure them away. It's just that I am not the servant of a big family at all, so where can I find a charming young lady for them.
Liang Yan smiled wryly in his heart. He was afraid that when they found out that something was wrong, they would be the first to vent their anger by killing him. He only hoped that he could take them far away and let the old monk take the opportunity to escape.
Then he sighed again in his heart: "Old monk, old monk, I hope you will be smart, and you will take the opportunity to escape later. You save my life, and I will pay you back. We are not in debt. Hmph, I Liang Yan Although he has no skills, he is not an ungrateful person!"
Inside the teahouse, the old monk was sitting cross-legged in meditation. All kinds of things outside the door fell into his consciousness without any mistakes. He had sensed the group of bandits just now, and they were all ordinary warriors. He didn't take it seriously because the leader was a junior who was only at the first level of Qi training. .
It's just that when he noticed that Liang Yan had gone and returned, looking around ghostly outside the shop, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling. I want to know what this little baby is doing when he comes back.
After this meeting, he still didn't know Liang Yan's intentions, so he couldn't help laughing.
"This kid is a big kid. He is really a difficult master. Well, although he has an extreme personality, he is also a person with clear grievances and grievances. If he is guided a little bit, he may not be able to lead the right way in the future... ..." Thinking in his heart, the old monk had unconsciously regarded Liang Yan as his half-disciple.
While thinking about it, the Buddhist beads in his hand flew out, and he was about to make a move.
Suddenly his right ear moved, and he turned his hand to take back the beads.
"It seems that this teahouse is going to be lively, hehe, let's wait and see what happens."
At this time, Liang Yan and the others had already walked outside the teahouse door, and when he was about to set off, there was a sound of horseshoes from the official road. Chen Lin and the others stopped after seeing who was coming.
When the horse arrived in front of the people, he turned over and got down a middle-aged man in black. He knelt on one knee and said,
"I want to report to the leader, the target and the others have sped up their journey for some reason. They have traveled ten miles away and will be there soon." "What?"
Chen said. Lin glared, "Didn't you say that you will arrive at the day after tomorrow when you visit the horse two days ago?!"
The middle-aged man in black hurriedly said: "The subordinates don't know, they suddenly speed up, and they don't rest at night. I just went to bed, and I was on my way so starry night. My subordinates dare not delay for a moment, but they are only a little faster than them."
Chen Lin calmed down, and said slowly: "Since they are in a hurry to reincarnate, we must not lose Proceedings, brothers, follow the plan."
Cheng Laoer came over and asked in a low voice: "Then what about this boy and the old monk? How about chopping them up and burying them in the backyard?" "It's too late to
kill them now, the other party There is an extremely powerful expert among people, who is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood at their level, if she finds it tricky, it may be detrimental to our plan." "Then what should we do?
"
Chen Lin pondered for a moment and said: "The old monk hasn't moved from the beginning to the end, and he doesn't know whether he is blind or deaf. It's not a problem. As for this kid... don't we still need a tea boy Hey? Hey, when the time comes, let this kid pretend to be a tea boy to serve tea. Humans, children are the least wary, don't you think so?" Cheng Laoer's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his thumb and said, "A clever
plan Ah!"
Chen Lin smiled slightly, mobilized his spiritual power secretly, raised his hand and pointed, and a small blue knife flew out, piercing Liang Yan's feet an inch in front, blasting the stones on the ground.
"Little baby, I won't hide it from you. Grandpas are all going to do big things. I'll let you pretend to be a tea boy later and do as we say. If you do things well, I'll let you go. If you smash it, I will kill you in an instant, and the stone on the ground will be your fate!"
After saying this, Chen Lin looked at Liang Yan with a fierce expression on his face, Liang Yan's face was pale, trembling all over, and he couldn't stop nodding on the surface should be. But he secretly said in his heart: "I heard what they said in the forest before, that there was a master among the group of people they ambushed, which made the man in purple quite afraid. They designed the ambush here, obviously because they didn't want to fight head-on. If they have solved their target, then my fate is certain to die. As of now, I have to find a way to inform the people who have come, break their plan, and wait for them to fight each other, then I will have a chance of survival." "But this purple-clothed man
may Pay attention to my actions, if I make any changes, I will be the first to be beheaded by him, wouldn't I be wronged to die?" Rao Liang Yan is usually smart and quick-witted, and has a lot of wit and tricks, so he couldn't think of a perfect plan at this time.
While thinking about it, everyone over there had already changed their attire, Cheng Lao Er was acting as the shopkeeper, a bandit was acting as a waiter, Shi Lao San and the remaining bandits were pretending to be tea guests who came here to drink tea, Chen Lin was Hidden in the backyard room. Shi Laosan also handed Liang Yan a set of tea boy's clothes, and Liang Yan reached out to take it, secretly sighing: "Now we can only play by ear..." After finishing
dressing up, everyone took their seats. Liang Yan took a broom and swept the front yard. After a while, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the yard.
Immediately after a person walked quickly into the courtyard, Liang Yan looked up, and the person who came was actually a woman, slender, wearing a fiery red military uniform, with a black belt around her waist, a sheathed long knife behind her back, and her hair was Be bunched up high.
This person seems to have a preference for red and wears a red ribbon around his ankle.
As soon as the woman entered the courtyard, she cast her eyes all over the place. Seeing Liang Yan looking at him, she also looked straight at Liang Yan without hesitation, and at the same time looked up and down. Liang Yan hurriedly lowered his head in fright, for fear of offending the dark purple-clothed man and stabbing himself.
The woman in red looked at Liang Yan twice, then ignored him and walked straight into the teahouse.
"Shopkeeper, we have reserved the guest room here today." The woman in red said as she took out a silver coin and threw it on the table.
Cheng Laoer looked embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "This is not convenient, girl, you see, that table is also from the world, and they come here to drink tea first. We are also a small business, so we can't afford to mess with it.
" The woman glanced at her and said: "It's okay, they drink tea here, as long as they don't offend us, it's fine. I just want to reserve this room in the backyard, and no one else is allowed to stay here tonight." Cheng Laoer's face changed, and then he
smiled He took the money and greeted Xiaoer,
"Come on, make a table for the guests and clean it!"
The woman in red ordered a few more times, Cheng Laoer nodded, and the woman showed satisfaction and raised her hand Whistled in the mouth.
Only then did the people outside the door slowly come in, and saw a dozen or so guards surrounding a middle-aged beautiful woman, who was holding a little girl by the hand. The little girl was wearing an emerald green jacket, her eyebrows were picturesque, her hair was tied back into two small tufts, she was quiet and gentle, her eyes were full of heroism, she was really a beauty.
For some reason, the little girl stared at Liang Yan after entering the door and saw Liang Yan, showing curiosity. Seeing that Liang Yan was quite uncomfortable, he scratched his head and thought secretly: "Could it be that I have flowers on my face?"
When the woman in red called her, she reluctantly looked away.
"Little girl, why are you so focused?"
The little girl blushed, "Aunt Qing, I'm just too tired from the long journey. There happens to be a teahouse here. Let's have a glass of water and take a rest.
" The woman petted the girl's head and said: "You have really worked hard these few days. Things have changed. We need to speed up our schedule. Fortunately, we are not far from Yuncheng now. We will rest here tonight Let's spend the night."
After saying that, he took the little girl and the middle-aged beautiful woman to find a clean table and sat down, then rushed to the second child and shouted: "Boss, please make two pots of herbal tea first." "
Okay!" Cheng Cheng The second child agreed, and handed two pots of herbal tea to Liang Yan, while beckoning him with his eyes.
Liang Yan took the teapot, took out a pair of teacups, and silently turned his head and walked towards the table.
He knew in his heart that this tea must have been tampered with, and he would kill them as soon as they drank it.
Liang Yan wanted to remind the woman in red, but he knew that if he moved a little at this moment, or opened his mouth to speak, the man in the inner court would kill him instantly without hesitation.
One step, two steps, three steps, finally, Liang Yan walked to the table of the woman in red without making a sound, put the tray with the teapot and tea set on the table, and then turned and left without saying a word from the beginning to the end.
The moment Liang Yan turned around, the woman in red seemed to be slightly taken aback, and then immediately returned to normal.
The girl behind the table had a flushed face. Ever since Liang Yan came over, she had been peeking at him. When he came to the table, her face was as red as an apple. She looked down at her feet and didn't dare to look up again. . It's a pity that Liang Yan's mind was so tense that he didn't pay attention at all.
The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and touched the girl's head, then picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for each of the two on the table, and poured another cup for herself. The little girl was already thirsty, and she was about to drink from the teacup. Down. The woman in red suddenly reached out to stop her.
"Shopkeeper, please call the waiter, I have something to ask him."
Seeing that the matter was about to succeed, Cheng Lao Er was suddenly interrupted, and Monk Zhang Er was puzzled. I had no choice but to say to Xiao Er: "Did you hear me? Hurry up and see what the nobleman wants, so I can serve you well. If you offend the nobleman, hum! I'll pluck your skin!" The mountain bandit pretending to be Xiaoer
answered With a sound, he walked quickly. The woman in red didn't turn her head back, but said calmly: "We always pay attention to our meals, and we need to be more cautious when we go out. Why don't you drink this first sip of tea for me?" The bandit didn't expect her to propose such a thing
. I was at a loss for words for a moment, but I didn't know how to answer.
At this moment of hesitation, the woman in red understood in her heart that before she could turn around, the knife was out of its sheath, and everyone saw only a circle of silver light flashing, and the little girl's head flew high, splashing blood everywhere.
The woman in red held a knife to protect the girl and the beautiful woman behind her, and the surrounding guards immediately came to their senses and formed a circle to protect the two of them.
"Hmph, since Xiao Er knows about it, the shopkeeper can't get rid of it, right?" The woman in red snorted coldly.
This ups and downs, Chen Lin and the others, who originally designed an ambush, not only had no chance to make a move, but instead let the other party kill one person first.
He was stunned for a while. However, these people were originally wild bandits in the mountains and forests, and they had seen scenes of strong winds and waves before. Seeing that the scheme was broken at this time, they calmed down instantly.
Cheng Lao Er said with a sinister smile: "Young lady has good eyesight, I don't know when she discovered the flaw."
The woman in red looked at him coldly, apparently not intending to answer.
"Clang!" There was a sound of a cup being thrown and shattered, and then Cheng Laoer yelled sullenly: "Do it!
