Chang Anqing

Chapter 301 A Transaction

On this day, Chang'an was cloudy and rainy.

Under the cover of heavy clouds, the rain poured down along the tile eaves, forming one after another crystal curtains and hitting the ground. Compared with usual, there were fewer pedestrians on the road, and their steps were extremely fast. They just wanted to arrive as soon as possible. The destination, so that the rain that splashed wet the corners of the clothes will not soak the upper body again.

This meeting is in a restaurant at the East City Gate. Dr. Liquor is dozing off on a clean and neatly arranged table. Hearing the sound of wind and rain outside, the sleepy bug is so pervasive that he can't stop lighting up in a daze. head.

"Three taels of wine, two plates of grilled meat, and ten naan cakes."

At this moment, a deep man's voice sounded, and the Dr. Liquor opened his eyes in shock. However, when he saw that the person was dressed in shabby clothes, his hair was fluffy and only tied by a wooden hairpin, and his face was also dark and shabby. As if it hadn't been washed clean, he frowned and became suspicious.

It's not that he dislikes it, it's just that in the city of Chang'an under the emperor's feet, from time to time there will be illegal things like stealing chickens and dogs and eating free food.

Even though the food that this person wants just now is not so expensive, but after all, here at the gate of the city, it is no more profitable than the delicacies in the center of the city, it is just a small business.

If the person in front of him is really freeloading, and his wages will inevitably be deducted, how can it be done?

Thinking of this, Dr. Jiu was already half awake. When he walked out, he saw someone striding towards a low table and kneeling down, and then put a long sword that was temporarily sealed with cold light with a "bang--" During the case, Dr. Jiu couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, shrank his neck, and said tentatively: "Then, can I have some tea for you first?"

After all, when Dr. Jiu was refilling the tea, the man waved his hand and threw out a bunch of Jingyuan Tongbao, which was so extravagant that Dr. Jiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt relieved.

"This, sir, this is too much, too much."

The man glanced at Dr. Liquor indifferently, and then said, "The rest is for you."

"Ai."

When Dr. Jiu heard this, his eyes widened and his eyes widened. You must know that meeting such guests in such a small restaurant is really more difficult than winning money from gambling.

"Alright, I'll prepare some food and warm wine for you."

After the good wine and food were brought to the table by Dr. Jiu, the man drank a few bowls of wine and began to eat the naan. Dr. Jiu rubbed the warm Tongbao in his hand and stuffed it into his arms happily.

Just as the sound of the rain continued outside, and the coolness hit by tick-tock-tick, the man with sharp ears suddenly heard the sound of armor. After he followed the sound vigilantly, he saw a few guards patrolling the city on the other side of the street. Gradually approaching, walking towards this direction.

Almost at the same time, the man frowned, his expression changed, he immediately looked up at Dr. Jiu and asked, "Is there a back door?"

"what?"

Dr. Jiu was taken aback by the question, then nodded and said: "Yes, yes, just pass through the back hall from here, and then—"

Before he finished speaking, the man stood up with his sword in his hand and said, "Give me the food."

Under the serious gaze of the man, Dr. Jiu didn't dare to delay, and quickly wrapped it in oiled paper and handed it to him.

The next moment, the man walked towards the back hall that Dr. Liquor had just pointed to with his food and drink in his pocket.

Sure enough, when he passed through the back hall, the man saw a half-opened back door, and immediately walked out along it at a faster pace, turning around and not wanting to completely close the back door.

Just as he walked towards the alley on the right side outside the back door with a sullen face, he saw several ghostly figures with extremely high skills suddenly appearing in the alley, and surrounded him immediately.

Knowing that the other party was coming in a bad way, the man immediately grasped the long sword with his right hand, and pressed his thumb on the hilt of the sword, and could faintly hear the sound of Leng Feng unsheathing.

"Brother-"

At this moment, a clear voice rang in the man's ears like a silver bell. When he turned his head and looked at a cute little girl in a dress, his eyes turned red immediately, as if seeing an unbelievable dawn as happy.

"Alan—"

When the little girl saw her brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she had a happy smile on her face, and her grape-like eyes rushed towards him.

"Brother, why haven't you come to see me for a long time——"

Seeing the younger sister in his arms buried in his arms, the man's cold brows and eyes finally softened and he comforted him, "Brother is the fault."

"Didn't I tell you to stay in the temple and not go anywhere?"

Hearing brother's reprimand, Alan raised his head and said aggrievedly: "Someone wants to arrest me—"

As soon as the words came out, the man's eyes turned cold, and he looked vigilantly at the people surrounding him, as well as the woman in the veil who was standing beside Alan just now.

"No, my sister is the one who saved me."

"Saved you?"

The man looked suspiciously at his younger sister, who was only five years old, and finally eased up a lot when he saw her nodding her head firmly, but he still just folded his hands and said in a distant manner: "Thank you lady for saving my little sister."

"I can save it once, but I may not be able to save it the second time."

Hearing this, the man frowned, but he saw the woman across from him saying to him through the green veil in front of the veil: "The only one who can save her is you."

The man led the little girl beside him, glanced at the hidden guards beside him who should not be underestimated, and then at the well-dressed woman with extraordinary bearing, he probably knew that the other party was either rich or noble.

"I also ask my wife to enlighten me."

When the man followed the group of people into a small house in the alley, he took a look at the simple arrangement of fireworks in the house, and then at the gorgeously dressed and unattainable woman in front of him, his guess was further confirmed in his heart .

She was afraid that she had already known his whereabouts clearly, so she would deliberately lure a group of city patrol soldiers to force him into the alley by the back door of the restaurant.

It was clear that the game was set up and only waiting for him.

"Alan, I want to say a few words to this sister, can you wait for me outside?"

Hearing brother's words, Alan nodded obediently, and was taken out by the maid at the side. As the door was closed, the sound of a sharp knife unsheathing pierced the air instantly. When the attack came, Li Sui who was sitting there was not surprised at all, only heard a "ding--", the silver needle in Yu Nu's hand came out, and the sword was deflected by a few points, and Li Sui just Turning his head easily, he dodged the attack.

The next moment, seeing Yu Nu's eyebrows turned cold, and when he had already raised his hands and exposed his sleeves to point at him, the people outside also rushed in in response, and the crowd was tight.

Seeing this, the man frowned, and finally stopped his movements, because in just a moment, he could understand why the person in front of him could feel at ease leaving himself alone in the room.

The maid was ruthless and decisive, and her skill was no worse than that of the men present, and the woman in front of her who was sitting there leisurely sipping tea was not a weak woman with no strength to restrain her.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Hearing these uninspiring words, Li Sui finally put down the teacup, waved his hands and waited for everyone to retreat, then said unhurriedly: "Didn't you just throw away my husband's token a few days ago?"

"You are Princess Yuling?"

Seeing the nervous look in the man's eyes, Li Sui said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I'm looking for you today just to make another deal with you?"

"I'm not good for King Yuling, will you make a deal with me?"

After receiving the unmoved question from the man, Li Sui still knelt there calmly and dignifiedly and said, "There are no eternal friends, let alone eternal enemies."

Speaking of this, Li Suiwei looked up at the man in front of him and said, "After all, we saved Alan from the Fufeng County King, didn't we?"

As soon as the words came out, the man's expression changed, his fists could not help but clenched tightly, and the lines between his brows and eyes became deeper and deeper.

"Please sit down."

After being signaled by Li Sui, the man finally sat down after thinking about it.

"It can be seen that you love Alan very much, otherwise, as Yang Xingjian's dead soldier, you wouldn't hide Alan—"

While speaking, Li Sui personally poured a cup of tea for the person opposite and said, "But you think Yang Xingjian is too simple. I can save Alan just by following his trail."

"But now that he knows that Alan is lost, he won't let the two of you go. After all, the secrets you carry are too heavy."

Hearing Li Sui's analysis, the man's eyes were heavy, and he looked at Li Sui with deep eyes while hesitating and said, "Well, what do you want?"

"Rebel." Hearing the man's straightforward question, Li Sui calmly spat out two words.

"As long as you can do it, I can assure you, not to mention Yang Xingjian, even the entire Prince Xuan's mansion will be in a state of distress, and have no time to take care of Alan, a little child, and I will help you send Alan to a safe place. This life must be lived in peace and happiness.”

Although there was no money or jewels in Li Sui's deal, it made him more at ease at the moment than these.

Ever since he worked for Yang Xingjian, he had been prepared to die, so when the brothers they performed the mission were assassinated by Yang Xingjian that night, he was able to escape from it.

And he escaped not for himself, but for Alan.

Yang Xingjian will not let him go, he knows that, so at least before he dies, he wants to find a complete and safe home for Alan.

And the Princess Yuling in front of her is a high-ranking and powerful concubine, so she must have this ability.
