Chapter 25 Scholar swings the sword
Zhang Yingying was originally worried that she would use military force in Fengzhou, so she deliberately used a cliché. Unexpectedly, a few words of painlessness came out of Mrs. Lu's scheme, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud.
After using some fruit spots and eating a few cups of fragrant tea, the two of them said goodbye to Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu brought it to the door and pulled Zhang Yingying for a long time and refused to let go. At this moment, the sky was dark. The coachman was anxious and the carriage was rushed. When he passed Tongji Bridge in the west of Yongjiafang, a beggar suddenly crossed the street. The coachman hurriedly grabbed the carriage, but the beggar did not hit him, but he was scared in a cold sweat. He picked up a whip and went to chase and beat the beggar. As soon as the others left, two young men in gorgeous clothes jumped onto the carriage and whipped it away.
Woodsmei asked tremblingly: "What do you want to do? This is the carriage of the royal palace."
The young man snorted coldly and did not answer. After crossing the bridge, the carriage turned east into Yongjiafang. The gatekeeper saw that it was the carriage of the Prince Ying Mansion, he did not dare to go forward to interrogate. The carriage was parked in the backyard of a large mansion. A group of young people in gorgeous clothes surrounded him. The boy driving the carriage used a horse whip to block the dust and said sarcastically: "Please, please, two." Woodsmei was so scared that her lips were blue, her hands and feet were trembling, and she didn't dare to breathe. Zhang Yingying could still hold her breath.
Zhang Yingying asked, "Who are you? What are you here for?"
The young man sneered, "What do you want to know so much about the little girl movies? Don't be too slow, get off quickly." Zhang Yingying said coldly, "If you don't say it, I won't go down." The boy became anxious, leaned into the carriage and pulled Zhang Yingying out, and Zhang Yingying immediately returned to her face, hugged the boy's arm and bit her hard.
"Ouch--"
The boy screamed and retreated, causing everyone to laugh and joke around him.
Woodsmei whispered: "Yingying, don't mess with them. We two females can't fight them. How can we not bow our heads under the eaves? Let's say a few soft words."
Zhang Yingying snorted coldly and said, "It's already a sheep that has entered the tiger's mouth. If they want to kill us, it's useless to kneel down and beg for mercy. Humph, I won't let them underestimate me even if I die."
A man outside the car smiled and said, "I admire you so bravely at such a young age." Woodsmei was so scared that her face turned pale when she heard the sound. At this time, two strong men rushed into the carriage, one hugged Zhang Yingying, and the other dragged Woodsmei down. A strong man with a bearded face shouted at Woodsmei: "When will your brother pay the debt we owe?"
Woodsmei begged in a trembling voice: "If you allow me for another half a year, I will definitely pay off all the capital and interests."
Everyone laughed loudly when they heard this. Woodsmei was both frightened and ashamed. Woodsmei was a music class in the Yingwang Mansion. According to the rules of this industry, as long as she was in the class, she would not be allowed to talk about marriage. Woodsmei did not want to give up the glory and wealth in front of her, and could not stand the loneliness. So she secretly raised a second master outside, calling her own fucking brother to the outside world. The second master likes to bet and owes a lot of gambling debts. Seeing that she couldn't pay off the money, Woodsmei's money was so lucky.
The casino couldn't collect the account, so they asked Woodsme. They threatened that if Woodsme didn't give money, she would make the matter of raising her second master outside. Woodsme could naturally figure out the benefits and could only swallow his anger and pay the money out one by one. After exhausting all his savings in two years, he was still not able to pay the last one.
"Brother, don't listen to her nonsense. Only ghosts believe this kind of nonsense. Just give her some color and let her know that the man's words are not a joke."
After saying that, the young man took out a shiny dagger and compared it in front of Woodsmei's eyes. He shouted in a vague way: "It's not hard to pay if you don't want to pay. Let me cut a few times on your face. How about one hundred taels of silver?" Although Woodsmei is in her thirty years old, she has a good look and looks beautiful like a 100-year-old girl. Woodsmei has never seen this posture, and she is so scared that she trembles all over.
"How much money does she owe you?" Zhang Yingying stepped forward and stopped Woodsmi.
"Little girl, don't care about your business. Go away!"
"I'll pay her money back!" Zhang Yingying's words came to the ground, and the boy was stunned, and Woodsmei was also stunned.
The bearded man turned around Zhang Yingying for a while, snorted coldly and said, "She owes us 389 taels and 50 cents of silver. This is not a small amount. Little sister, do you really want to pay the debt for her?"
"Send someone to follow me and I'll give you the money." Zhang Yingying felt an unusual calm.
The bearded tilted his head, and the young man who was playing with the knife put away the knife and said to Zhang Yingying: "Please, little sister, I'll go with you to get the money."
"Slow down!" Zhang Yingying suddenly shouted, staring at her bearded, "I have paid back the money, if you still can't get entangled, what should I say?"
Everyone burst into laughter and said with a beard: "Don't worry, little sister, the ghost gang has always said one is one, it has more credit than your government."
Zhang Yingying nodded and smiled and said, "Ghost Gang, I remember, if you don't keep your word, I will let you all get out of Chang'an City." After that, she climbed onto the carriage and shouted at the young man who was staying: "What are you still doing in a daze, go quickly."
The carriage stopped outside the main gate of the Yingwang Mansion. The reason why they didn't go to the side was to prevent them from knowing the small door of the backyard so as not to trouble in the future. The young man who was driving the car smiled and said to Zhang Yingying, "More than 300 taels of silver is not a small amount. Little sister, do you want your brother to go down and get it for you?" Zhang Yingying smiled and said, "That's the best, but the noses of the guards of the palace are all very sharp. If you smell the ghostly aura on your body, I can't save you." The young man immediately shut up.
When Zhang Yingying got out of the car, she saw a young man walking towards the gate of the palace with a servant. Zhang Yingying looked familiar and looked carefully. She was very surprised and waved her hand and said, "Brother Mu, why are you here?" The visitor was Mulanqing, the new Tian German Army garrison in Shangdu, the Chengyinglang of the Zuoyuan.
"Little sister, it's such a coincidence. I'm about to see you."
A flower bloomed on Zhang Yingying's pink and tender cheeks, and her expression suddenly became sluggish.
The young man who was driving coughed and looked here. Zhang Yingying said angrily: "What are you urging me to? I will do what I promise you."
The young man pointed to the sky and said, "Miss, it's almost dark, and a curfew is starting, and no one can leave."
Zhang Yingying glared at him and walked into the gate of the palace with Mulanqing's hand. Mulanqing asked while walking: "This person is full of a gangster spirit. My little sister, what's wrong? Do you want me to help?"
Zhang Yingying shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, a friend of mine owes the Ghost Gang a debt. I told her to pay it back. It's a pity that this guy always nags."
When Mulanqing heard the word "Ghost Gang", his face changed slightly, but he said, "There are some friends in the Ghost Gang in Chang'an. If you want to help, just support me."
Zhang Yingying thought for a while and said, "No need, it's just three or four hundred taels of silver. There is no need to let Brother Mu, you hurt your friend's face." Mulanqing smiled and did not answer. Zhang Yingying took a gold bar and some broken silver, wrapped it in a silk squid, and asked Mulanqing: "Are you going together, or sit here and wait for me to come back?"
Mulanqing smiled and said, "Go with you, otherwise General Manager Wang would think that I had stolen his silver." Zhang Yingying glared at him with her eyes and smiled with a pursed lips. When she arrived at Yongjiafang, it was already dark. Mulanqing sat in the car and did not leave. Zhang Yingying threw the silk bag to the bearded and said, "Three hundred,89 taels and five cents, you can order it."
The bearded man put the gold bars in his hand and weighed them, threw back the broken silver left in the silk bag, and said, "We want to cast the silver to make it clean, don't use this broken silver."
The quality of the official casting of silver is guaranteed, and the quality of this kind of broken silver is not good and its value is not high. Zhang Yingying did not expect that this layer of the problem was that the bearded man deliberately wanted to squeeze himself, and she burst into tears.
Mulanqing coughed, jumped out of the car, holding a ingot of twenty taels of silver in his hand: "Is this OK to add it?"
The bearded man took the silver ingot, glanced at Mulanqing, waved his hand back, and the two young men brought Woodsmei out. After the delivery, Mulanqing drove the two back home. At the end of the Youth hour, the curfew in Chang'an City had already begun. However, relying on the two palace lanterns in front of the carriage, he traveled all the way without stopping. When he arrived at the gate of Wang Chun's courtyard on the west side of the palace, Mulanqing put down the two of them and was about to drive away with his attendant Li Hai. Suddenly, two assassins rushed out from behind the locust tree on the street, and slapped Zhang Yingying and Woodsmei and stabbed him.
Neither of them could do martial arts, so in frightened, they even made a sound. Mulanqing picked up the horse whip and stepped forward, but the assassin cut off his horse whip with just one knife and kicked Mulanqing to the death. Li Hai roared angrily, kicked the knife in the assassin's hand away, and another series of sweeping legs pushed him to the ground.
Another assassin was obviously better at martial arts. He injured Li Hai's right leg in just one round of battle. He kicked him and turned around. Li Hai's ribs were broken and he couldn't stand in severe pain. The assassin took the knife and rushed to Zhang Yingying. Mulanqing picked up the horizontal knife on the ground, protected Zhang Yingying, and whispered: "Go back to the house quickly." Zhang Yingying was so scared that she took out the key and opened the lock in a hurry. The more anxious she was in her heart, the more she was disobedient she was. She took a long time to find where the keyhole was.
Mulanqing held a knife in both hands, and looked at the assassin with a loud roar and slashed it down. Mulanqing did not know martial arts. This move was the flowery he learned in the martial arts school. It was okay to fool outsiders, but it was not worth it in the eyes of experts. The assassin raised the corner of his mouth and snorted contemptuously. He did not dodge and stabbed Mulanqing in the lower abdomen. He had seen that Mulanqing did not know martial arts and could kill him in one move. Killing his opponent in an attack is more pleasure than cutting from behind.
A strange thing happened. As soon as he handed out the knife, he suddenly felt numb under his ribs and half of his body suddenly lost consciousness. The outcome suddenly reversed. The knife in his hand failed to pierce the opponent's lower abdomen as scheduled and then stirred it up again, but the opponent's knife slashed against his forehead.
"ah!"
After a scream, Mulanqing's face was covered with blood. His arms were numb. The sharp sword had already slashed into the opponent's forehead. The body, the bloody and bloody sword... Mulanqing was so scared that he fell to his head and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the assassin who was originally defeated by Li Hai suddenly pulled out a short dagger and stabbed it in his heart. Mulanqing instinctively shouted: "Don't die..." Li Hai rushed over, and after a fight, he snatched the dagger from the assassin's hand. At this moment, Mulanqing also recovered and the two worked together to tie the assassin up.
