Chapter 3 Teahouse Situation
Chapter 3 Teahouse Storm
Because he was worried that the bandits and spies would go on the road first, Liang Yan only carried the small path along the way, but he didn't walk the road. He couldn't run anymore, so he only dared to rest by the tree for a few breaths and immediately continued on the road.
When he ran to the entrance of the inn, he found that there were already seven fast horses there.
"I was so surprised. I didn't expect that they rode so fast and had arrived. I was still one step late after all."
In the teahouse.
"Boss, I have found out the vicinity. There is no one, but there is an old monk in the teahouse."
Chen Lin frowned and said, "Old monk? Come and see."
Everyone followed him in. When they arrived in front of the door, Chen Lin secretly sensed it and confirmed that there was no fluctuation of spiritual power in the old monk's body. Then he felt relieved and winked at Cheng Laoer.
The latter understood and had a ferocious look on his face. He was about to enter the door and ended the old monk's life.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted loudly outside the teahouse:
"Old charlatan, your luck is here. She believed in the sign you calculated for my lady yesterday and ordered me to come back to find you, wanting to ask you for another sign."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened with a bang, and a teenage child came in, tall and thin, gray cloth and linen, with a bag in his hand.
"Don't worry, I won't let you calculate it in vain. I'll take it." Before he finished speaking, he seemed to notice the people in the store, and immediately calmed down. The bag in his hand subconsciously hid it behind him.
Everyone in the store smiled at each other. It seemed that this kid brought money to ask for a visa.
The second brother Cheng coughed and said kindly, "Little brother, are you here to ask someone for a visa?"
The child looked panicked, and then said with courage: "Who are you? My master is a high-ranking official in the court, and the lady is even more golden and jade-leafed. I came here to ask for a visa by the lady. If I can't go back for a while, the lady will definitely investigate it at that time."
Cheng Laoer was amused, and then he thought of something and asked in a harmonious voice: "You just said, have you been ordered by your lady?"
When the child heard his question, he seemed to be brave enough. He put his hips on his hips and shouted: "That's natural. How graceful my lady is. On weekdays, several royal brothers come to my house to get close to me. As for those high-ranking officials and wealthy young men, they even broke the threshold of the family. Humph, I wonder how many people want to curry favor with us!"
It would be fine if he didn't say it. When Cheng Lao Er said this, he even looked lustful and then came to Chen Lin's ear and whispered a few times. Chen Lin also smiled and nodded in a sign.
Cheng Laoer agreed and said, "Little brother, all seven of us are traveling businessmen, and meeting here today is a fate. After hearing what you said just now, we admire your lady very much. I would like to ask my little brother to introduce it to us."
After hearing this, the child shook his head and waved his hand and said, "No, no, my lady came to her hometown to worship her ancestors this time, and said she would not see anyone. If she took you there, I would have to be broken. Besides, your identity is not clear, so I can't say it."
He was still talking again, and suddenly heard a bang, and saw Shi Laosan slapped the wooden table beside him with a palm. The wooden table was immediately split into pieces and scattered all over the ground.
"Boy, I advise you to be tactful. Do you think about it? Is your brain hard or this wooden table hard?"
The child was already stunned and murmured to himself: "You. You."
Seeing this, Cheng Laoer coughed: "Little brother, we are just a group of merchants, but our tempers are different. Although I am willing to reason with my little brother, my friends are afraid that they are not patient. I advise my little brother to cooperate well, otherwise, hehe." The threatening meaning of the words is obvious.
The child was so brave that he immediately looked at them like a frost-frosted eggplant.
Seeing that he was already shocked, Cheng Laoer said gently again: "Don't worry, the seven brothers love to make friends. Today I just want to see the lady's style and make friends, and I have no other intentions."
The child seemed to have been moved by him and said weakly: "Since that's the case, I will introduce it to you. I've been here for a while. It's not as long as I've been here. It's better for a few knights to borrow horses."
Cheng Lao Er nodded and said, "It should have been like this." Then he winked at the two bandits next to him. The two of them understood and walked silently to the child, vaguely sandwiched him in the middle, obviously to prevent him from escaping.
But they didn't notice that the child looked a little bitter smile on his face as he turned around and walked out the door.
This kid is naturally Liang Yan.
He had heard a few people talking in the jungle before, and from their conversation, he inferred that these people should be lustful people. In desperation, he came up with such a trick out of nothing and made up a beautiful lady to lure them away. But he was not a servant of a wealthy family at all, so where did he find a charming lady for them?
Liang Yan smiled bitterly in his heart, afraid that when they find something wrong, they will kill themselves first to vent their anger. He only hopes to bring them far away and let the old monk take the opportunity to escape.
Then he sighed in his heart: "Old monk, old monk, I hope you are smart. I will take the opportunity to leave later. You save my life and I will pay you back. We will be considered as if we are not owed each other. Humph, although I, Liang Yan, are not ungrateful people, not ungrateful people!"
In the teahouse, the old monk was cross-legged into a meditation. Outside the door, all kinds of things fell into his spiritual consciousness. He had already sensed that the bandits had long been perceived by him. Among them were ordinary warriors, and the leader was only a junior who was only a level of qi cultivation. He didn't care about it.
But when he found Liang Yan back and looking around outside the store, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling. He wanted to know what this little kid was doing when he came back.
After this moment, he didn't know Liang Yan's intention and couldn't help but laugh.
"This kid is a big guy, he is really a difficult master. Well, although he has an extreme personality, he is still a person who has a clear distinction between grudges and friendship. If he has a little guidance, he may not be able to lead the right path in the future." What the old monk thought in his heart, he had already regarded Liang Yan as half of his disciple.
As he thought about it, the Buddhist beads flew out of his hand and was about to take action.
Suddenly, his right ear moved and he flipped his hand and took back the Buddhist beads.
"It seems that this teahouse is going to be lively, haha, let's wait and see what's going on."
At this time, Liang Yan and everyone had already walked outside the teahouse. When they were about to set off, a sound of horse hooves came from the official road. Chen Lin and others stopped after seeing the people clearly.
The horse came to the front of the person and turned over a middle-aged man in black and knelt on one knee and said:
"I have reported to the leader of the gang, and others for some reason to speed up their itinerary, and they traveled together at night. Now they have reached ten miles away and will arrive soon."
"What?" Chen Lin glared, "Didn't the horse explorer say that he would arrive at the fastest genius as soon as possible?"
The middle-aged man in black said hurriedly: "I don't know. They suddenly accelerated and didn't rest at night. They only went to bed in the middle of the night. They rushed through the road in such a starry night. They didn't dare to delay for a moment, but they were only a little faster than them."
Chen Lin's face was slow and he said slowly: "Since they are in a hurry to reincarnate, we cannot lose our etiquette. Brothers, act as planned."
Cheng Lao Er came over and asked in a low voice, "What should I do with this kid and the old monk? Why don't they be cut down and buried in the backyard?"
"It's too late to kill them now. There is an extremely powerful expert among the other party. When they reach their level, they are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. If she finds a trick, it may be unfavorable to our plan."
"What should I do?"
Chen Lin pondered for a moment and said, "The old monk has never moved from beginning to end, and I don't know if it's blind or deaf, so it's not a problem. As for this kid, aren't we still lacking a tea boy? Hehe, then let this kid pretend to be a tea boy and go to tea. As for people, he has the lowest vigilance towards children, don't you think?"
Cheng Laoer's eyes lit up, he stretched out his thumb and said, "What a clever plan!"
Chen Lin smiled slightly, secretly activated his spiritual power, raised his hand and pointed, and a blue knife shot out, inserted an inch in front of Liang Yan's feet, exploding all the stones on the ground.
"Little baby, I won't hide it from you. Grandpas all want to do big things. I'll let you pretend to be a tea boy later and do what we said. If you do something beautifully, let you go. If you mess it up, I will kill you instantly. The stones on the ground will be your fate!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Lin looked at Liang Yan with a murderous look on his face. Liang Yan's face was pale and trembled all over. He said in his heart: "I heard what they said in the forest before. There was a master among the group of people they were ambushing, which made the man in purple quite afraid. They designed an ambush here, obviously they didn't want to fight head-on. If they waited for them to solve the goal, then my fate would definitely die. Now, the only way to find a way to notify the people coming, break their plans, and wait for them to fight together will I have a glimmer of life."
"But this man in purple always pays attention to my actions. If I have any abnormal movements, I will be the first to be killed by him. Wouldn't it be wronged?" Even though Liang Yan is smart and clever and has many wisdom and plans, he can't think of a perfect solution at this time.
While thinking, everyone there had already changed their clothes. Cheng Laoer pretended to be the shopkeeper, a bandit was disguised as a friend, Shi Laosan and the remaining bandits were disguised as tea lovers coming here to drink tea, and Chen Lin was hiding in the backyard room. Shi Laosan also handed Liang Yan a set of tea boy's clothes. Liang Yan reached out to take it and sighed secretly: "Now we can only act according to the opportunity."
After everyone was dressed up, they each entered their seats. Liang Yan took a broom and swept the floor in the front yard. After a while, a messy sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the yard.
Immediately afterwards, one of them walked into the yard quickly. Liang Yan looked up and saw that the person who came was a woman with a slender figure, wearing a fiery red martial arts uniform, a black belt around her waist, a long sheathed knife behind her back, and her hair was tied up high.
This person seems to prefer red, and he also has a red ribbon tied around his ankles.
As soon as the woman entered the yard, she looked around. Seeing Liang Yan looking at him, she looked directly at Liang Yan without any hesitation, and looked up and down at the same time. Liang Yan was so scared that she lowered her head, afraid of angering the man in purple in the dark, and stabbed him.
The woman in red looked at Liang Yan twice, then ignored him and walked straight into the teahouse.
"Shopkeeper, we have bought the guest room here today." The woman in red said, taking out a ingot of silver and throwing it on the table.
Cheng Lao Er looked embarrassed and whispered: "This is not very convenient, girl. Look at that table is also a person from the world. People come here to have tea first. We are also a small business and can't afford to mess with it."
The woman glanced at her and said, "It's okay, they're drinking tea here. As long as they don't mess with us, it's okay. I just want to book a room in the backyard and no one is allowed to stay here tonight."
Cheng Lao Er's face moved, and then he smiled and greeted the waiter.
"Come on, set a table for the guests and wipe it out!"
The woman in red gave a few more instructions, and Cheng Lao Er nodded continuously. The woman then showed satisfaction and raised her hand and whistled in her mouth.
The people outside the door slowly came in and saw a dozen guards surrounded by a middle-aged beautiful woman, and the beautiful woman was holding a little girl. The little girl was wearing a green jacket, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and her hair tied back into two small clusters. She was quiet and gentle, and her eyes were filled with heroic spirit. She was really a beauty.
For some reason, when the little girl came in and saw Liang Yan, she stared at him intently, showing curiosity. Liang Yan was quite uncomfortable when she saw him, and she grabbed her head and thought to herself secretly: "Can I have a flower on my face?"
When the woman in red called her, she reluctantly retracted her gaze.
"Little girl, what are you looking at so attentive?"
The little girl's face turned red, "No, Aunt Qing, I'm just too tired to travel one after another. There's a teahouse here, let's have a drink of water and have a rest."
The woman in red touched the girl's head in a doting way and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days. Things have changed. We need to speed up our itinerary. Fortunately, we are not far from Yuncheng, so we will rest here for a night tonight."
After saying that, he took the little girl and the middle-aged beautiful woman and found a clean table to sit down. The second brother of the Stone shouted: "Shopkeeper, come and make two pots of herbal tea first."
"Okay!" Cheng Laoer agreed and handed over two pots of herbal tea to Liang Yan, while his eyes signaled him.
Liang Yan took the teapot, took out a pair of tea cups, and silently turned his head to walk towards the table.
He knew in his heart that the tea must have been tampered with, and he would start killing after they drank it.
Liang Yan wanted to remind the woman in red, but he knew that if he had any abnormal movement at this time or spoke, the person in the inner courtyard would kill him in an instant without hesitation.
One step, two steps, three steps, finally, Liang Yan walked silently to the table of the woman in red, put the tray with the teapot and tea set on the table, and then turned around and left without saying a word from beginning to end.
Just as Liang Yan turned around, the woman in red seemed to be slightly stunned, and then immediately returned to normal.
The girl behind the table had a flushed face. Since Liang Yan came over, she kept looking at him with her eyes. When he walked 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. Unfortunately, Liang Yan's heart was tense and she had never paid attention.
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 them on the table, and poured herself another cup. The little girl was already thirsty, so she picked up the tea cup and wanted to drink it. The woman in red suddenly reached out to stop her.
"Shopkeeper, please call the waiter here. I have something to ask him."
Seeing that things were about to succeed, Cheng Lao Er was suddenly interrupted, and suddenly a little confused. He had to say to the waiter: "Have you heard that, why don't you go over and see what the noble man has to do, and serve him very much. If you annoy the noble man, hum! Look at me, I won't pull your skin!"
The bandit pretending to be a waiter responded and walked quickly. The woman in red did not look back, but said lightly: "We have always paid attention to dining, and we need to be more cautious when going out. It is better for you to drink this first sip of tea for me."
The bandit didn't expect that she made such a request and was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
With just this moment of hesitation, the woman in red had already understood in her heart. Before the person turned around, the knife had been unsheathed. Everyone only saw a circle of silver light flashing. The waiter's head had already flew high and blood was splattering everywhere.
The woman in red held a knife to protect the girl and the beautiful woman behind her. The guards around him immediately came to alert and formed a circle to protect the two of them in the middle.
"Hmph, since the waiter knows it, the shopkeeper can't get rid of it, right?" the woman in red snorted coldly.
This time, Chen Lin and others, who were originally designed to ambush, not only did not have the chance to take action, but instead asked the other party to kill one person first.
They were stunned for a moment. However, these people were originally bandits in the mountains and forests, and they had seen scenes of strong storms. At this time, seeing that the plan was broken, they calmed down instantly.
Cheng Laoer smiled sinisterly and said, "Miss has good eyesight and I don't know when I discovered the flaw."
The woman in red looked at him coldly, obviously not planning to answer.
"Clang!" The sound of the cup was shattering and shattering. Then Cheng Laoer shouted gloomyly: "Do it!"
Chapter completed!
