Painter

Chapter 108: Chapter [-]
Exit from the east Jinglu Gate of Xuandu City, cross the Wenxian Bridge across the Fushui River, and you will find the Yunfu Avenue directly at the foot of Fuyu Mountain.

There are many houses along Yunfu Avenue, and the prosperity is no less than that of counties.Many vendors gather here, selling incense candles, scriptures, paper and other things.There are also some writers who are here to help the past pilgrims write essays.And because looking up at the foot of the mountain, you can see the number of the sky on the big green lotus.In front of some of the mats, signs with green borders and white backgrounds were hung up, with the prices for divination and signing.

In the West Causeway of Yunfu, in the Baiji Teahouse, Liu Ji was wearing scarlet clothes, carefully looking at the five portraits on the tea table.

The portrait depicts an actor in green clothes, a red student with a white face, a man wearing a gourd crown, a man with curly hair, and a girl with a high ponytail.

At [-] o'clock, Hong Yixuan from Xiyi Mountain was killed on Wangque Terrace, and the murderer was pursued by state government officers and soldiers.The officers and soldiers split one strand at the mouth of the culvert in Ouhua Lane, and another strand in the house in the south of Xiuxiangfang. Finally, Liu Bingcao led the officers and soldiers and chased them to Sanskrit in the north of Yunjing Temple. At the end of the alley, facing the Jinghe Canal outside the wall, the assailant was finally lost.

Immediately afterwards, at the moment of Shen Shi, the military officer guarding the Jinghe Canal released a black-covered boat.In the days when the Jinghe Canal was blocked, only this civilian boat passed. When this black-covered boat left Jinshuimen, 50 people rushed out from the East Jinglu Gate of Xuandu City and rushed to the West Causeway of Yunfu.

When they arrived at Yunfu West Causeway, the crowd dispersed to various places along the coast. Liu Ji led 12 people and invited the owner of Baiji Tea Shop to leave and wait here.

Outside the window, the water flows eastward, with occasional fine waves rolling up on the surface of the water.

Liu Ji's eyes were fixed, and a black-covered boat rowed across the water and slowly approached Yunfu Xidi Wharf.

……

The awning boat approached the pier, Xiao Lingsu tied the cables and stepped on the stone bricks.

When the spring water hit the shore, there was an uproar. He looked around. Among the pedestrians resting in the foot store and warehouse, there were only a few who looked at this side curiously, but they only glanced at it, then looked away and continued to talk to the people around them.

He looked up at the sky, "It's still early, I'm going back from the back mountain, so be careful."

"Go, don't let anyone find out." Li Chan nodded, covered her head with a bamboo hat, and walked towards Yunfu Avenue, which leads directly to the Town God's Temple.

Li Chan came out of the stone pier, passed by the warehouses, and there was a large open space in front of it, which was originally a place for stacking goods, but now it was empty.After passing this open space, it is Yunfu Avenue.Beside him, the blue sign of "Baiji Tea Shop" hangs down from the second floor.

Li Chan passed the foot shop, just stepped on the open space, the side seemed to become a little quieter, several people in the tea shop stopped talking.

Li Chan swept his eyes and saw a tea customer in scarlet clothes in the tea shop, and suddenly felt a little familiar.Thinking about it, a picture emerged in my mind. The Cui Jiakeqing who fought against him in the painting environment transformed by Hongyao's obsession back then was somewhat similar to this person.The guest in the painting scene looks like he is only in his 20s, while in the teahouse, the tea guest in scarlet clothes looks like a lot of vicissitudes.If you count the more than 20 years of Hong Yao's incarnation as a goddess, it is just right.

Cui's people.

Li Chan's heart sank, the Cui family had great abilities in Xuandu, even if they borrowed the flag of Qingque Palace, they couldn't get rid of the pursuit.

The open space in front of him is not small, even if he runs with all his strength, it will take more than ten breaths to pass through.If there are crossbowmen arranged in the house, people in the open space will become living targets.

Li Chan turned around and stepped into the teahouse.

As soon as he entered the tea shop, someone looked over calmly, Li Chan didn't realize it, and shouted: "Doctor, what tea do you have?"

"Look for yourself." Dr. Tea glanced to the side, there were twelve bamboo plaques hanging on the wall, with names of teas such as Huangya, Bijian, Yangxian, Zhuyu, etc. written on them.

Downstairs in the teahouse, there were only six tables, all of which were occupied.

Li Chan went straight to the innermost table next to the stairs, "A pot of Yangxian."

After finishing speaking, he sat across from the tea guest in Feiyi, took off his bamboo hat and put it on the side of the chair, and said to himself: "It's so hot!"

Liu Ji looked at the young man in black on the opposite side of the table, he was unsure for a moment, and the thugs all looked over from the side, and someone had already stood up.

But Li Chan suddenly picked up the bamboo hat, looked into the hat, and shouted: "Doctor, why are there mice in this tea shop?"

Beside the stove, the disguised Dr. Tea was stunned, and said bluntly, "Where did the mice come from?"

"You still say no?" Li Chan snorted coldly, and handed the bamboo hat to the tea guest in Feiyi across the table, "This gentleman testifies for me, here..."

Liu Ji was puzzled, but couldn't help looking into the bamboo hat.Before he could see clearly, the bamboo hat suddenly covered him.

The view of the tea guest in Fei Yi was completely blocked by the bamboo hat, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he had time to tilt his head back and kick the tea table away.

Li Chan held out a bright sword light from his sleeve, and the tip of the sword cut across without a sound.The skin and flesh were separated, and with a click, blood spurted out!

Li Chan hit her left knee, the tea table cracked, and sawdust flew everywhere!

In front, the tea guest in scarlet clothes was covering his neck, with blood gushing from between his fingers, his eyes widened and his mouth was wide open, but he could only make a sound of "ho ho".

Several people came from behind, but Li Chan didn't look back, and stepped up to the second floor of the teahouse.

There were three people in front of the window on the upper floor, wearing green clothes, two of them had already grabbed their knives, and one of them was hastily rewinding the crossbow, obviously not ready yet.Li Chan flicked his hand, and the small Shuangbai sword flew out. The blade pierced into the thug's left chest under the window, and then the hilt of the sword hit the chest. With a bang, the bones also collapsed.

The breath of the two thugs holding the knife was stagnant. Seeing that the accomplice was knocked back by the sword, they just let out an uh, then lowered their heads and lost their breath.One person felt chills in his heart and backed away again and again.The other person gritted his teeth and stepped forward, shouted, and slashed at Li Chan with a straight knife.

But he saw the black-clothed figure, shaped like a ghost, leaning sideways into the thug's chest.The left hand clasped the thug's right wrist backwards, and kicked the thug's sole.

The thug staggered, but before he could stabilize his body, Li Chan slammed his shoulder, and the thug in Tsing Yi flew up and fell down the stairs, just in time to stop the pursuers downstairs.During the turmoil, Li Chan stepped to the window a few steps, ignoring the thugs who had lost their courage, and leaned over to draw out the frosty white dagger.Suddenly, there was a chill down the back.

Opposite Baiji Tea Shop, the blue wine tricks of "Zhangji Foot Shop" swayed slightly in the spring breeze.In the foot shop, there was a man in crimson clothes with a nose like an eagle's hook.If Tu Shanxi was here, she would be able to recognize that this is the practitioner who gave her the map of Xunning Palace in Jingshui Tower.

He holds a sword that is very similar to the Xuanxin Sword, and is three points longer. The word "Zhaodan" on the sword reflects the spring outside the building, but its color is like frost.He looked at Baiji Tea Shop, the sadness in his stern eyes had not dissipated.He let go of his hand, the dagger was still hanging in the air, trembling slightly.

The next moment, he flicked his left hand lightly, and the little sword disappeared without leaving a trace, only the wine flag facing the wind suddenly parted, and the lower half floated down.
