At dusk, the weather turned from hot to muggy, and the operas in the Goulan next to the inn also ranged from "Mulan", "The Peacock Flies Southeast", "Mu Guiying", to "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Journey to the West".
The farther to the back, the number of onlookers around the stage did not decrease but increased. There are usually no entertainment activities in the county town, and the left and right are also idle. Who doesn't like the excitement without money.
It’s just that I’ve been watching for a long time, chatting for a long time, and I’m so thirsty.
Fortunately, there was a vendor selling herbal tea nearby to quench their thirst. More and more people walked over to drink a bowl for two yuan, and then went back to watch the show.
"Ten people will come."
A man in yellow came over, threw a handful of copper coins on the table, and said.
"Okay, wait a moment, guest officer!" The man swiftly put away the money, opened the two buckets to look at it, and said, "It's been sold for a day, anyway, there are not many, guest officer, just let go and drink. After drinking, the villain can pack up and go back."
More than a dozen men in yellow and several men in blue walked over here after hearing the words.
Li Yi was about to walk out of the inn, when a man in blue stepped forward and said in a difficult way: "Lord Guardian, Your Majesty said that you cannot go out."
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "I'll just go out and listen to the opera."
"This subordinate has already prepared a seat for you on the second floor of the inn. Please move to the guardian, so that you can see it more clearly."
"There are too many people above, and there is no atmosphere."
"This subordinate will go up and clear the field."
"I… "
"Why don't you just bring those actors to the guard's room..."
…
…
Li Yi didn't know whether to be happy or kick him to death with such a conscientious subordinate who was always thinking of his boss.
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm not interested anymore."
The man in blue bowed and said, "This subordinate will send the guardian back to his room."
At this time, a man in yellow clothes suddenly walked in from outside the door, his face was flustered, and when he saw Li Yi, he immediately bowed and said, "See Guardian Zuo!"
"You're in a panic, what's the matter?" the man in blue asked dissatisfied.
The man in yellow panicked and said: "It's not good, the right guardian has been arrested!"
After the man in blue was stunned, his face changed immediately: "Go and report to your empress!"
"Mother, someone shot this with an arrow." The man in yellow handed a small cloth bag to the middle-aged nun.
The middle-aged Taoist nun took the bag and took out a jade pendant from it. Li Yi glanced at it, and it was exactly the one that the young man surnamed Fang took out just now.
In addition to the jade pendant, there is also a note inside.
It said: "Want to save your Dharma protector, come to the small bamboo forest thirty miles away in half an hour."
After the man in yellow finished speaking, he added: "My subordinates have already asked, the small bamboo forest is thirty miles east of the county."
A blue-clothed man stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the guardian of the law is world-class in martial arts, and there are several blue-clothed envoys by his side. It can be seen that the thief is powerful, why don't you let the subordinates lead the people to go."
"You wait here, I will go in person." The middle-aged Taoist nun said lightly, "Prepare the horse!"
After a while, several blue-clothed people in the inn looked at each other. The empress and two purple-clothed envoys went to rescue the Master Fa. I don't know who is so bold that even dared to rob the Fa-protector, but judging from this, those people's Strength should not be underestimated, I am afraid that only the empress can solve it.
"Master Guardian, please go back to your room and rest." Knowing that this Zuo Guardian has a special status, the empress told them to look at him, and a man in blue turned his head and said respectfully.
"Heh..." Li Yi yawned, pointed to a young servant casually, and said, "I happen to be sleepy too, and I want to eat something before going to bed, that little brother, remember to ask the back kitchen to make some later." Bring the delicious food."
Walking together all the way, they already knew that this lord protector has two hobbies, eating and sleeping, especially the latter, which has reached an unbelievable level.
A man in blue pointed at the boy casually, and said, "Have you heard that, go to the back kitchen to make some..."
Plop!
He didn't finish a sentence, but felt a pain in his neck, and fell to the ground with his eyes darkened.
After the other man in blue was startled, he was about to make a move, but before he could make a sound, he fell limply to the ground.
Not far away, someone noticed the strangeness, and while running towards this side, he shouted loudly: "Come on, come on!"
It's just that his actions didn't get many people's response. Outside the door, the man selling herbal tea had disappeared without a trace, and more than a dozen figures were lying on the ground in disorder, making the crowd panic.
"Walk!"
Miss Liu Er pulled Qiushui out from under the table, knocked over several people with her scabbard, grabbed Li Yi's arm, and rushed towards the door.
When her figure was about to step out of the inn gate, she stopped suddenly.
The middle-aged nun placed two fingers on her shoulder and said, "Master Liu, long time no see."
…
Originally wanted to lure the tiger away from the golden mountain to get rid of its shell, but I didn't expect this Taoist nun to use her tricks to catch her. She should have already left the county town in a quarter of an hour, but she suddenly appeared at the door. The majestic master actually engaged in such a shameless sneak attack trick. Second Miss Liu was tapped on her acupuncture points , can only talk but not move, all the previous arrangements have come to naught under the absolute strength of this nun.
"Take some people to the small bamboo forest, and bring back the Dharma protectors." The middle-aged Taoist nun ordered, and the two purple-clothed men took the order to bring back the dozen or so people who had been poisoned by Mongolian sweat medicine, and then called a group of about twenty people. He looked like he left the inn soon.
Such an accident happened, and it was getting late, so the charity performance outside the inn naturally couldn't continue.
The Taoist nun sat at the table, looked at Miss Liu and asked, "Master Liu followed all the way from the capital, it must be very difficult, right?"
Miss Liu Er glanced at her, her expression was calm, and she didn't speak.
A hunchbacked old man was pressed down by the man in blue and said, "My lord, this is really none of our business. If we don't do what she says, she will lead people to kill my whole family!"
The old man's face was full of fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "There is an eighty-year-old mother on the little old man, her son died young, and there is an eight-year-old grandson below, my lord, spare my life!"
"Ma'am, he is the shopkeeper of this inn." The man in blue brought the old man over and said.
Miss Liu Er glanced at the old man and said, "He's right. This matter has nothing to do with him. It's up to you to kill or cut. I don't want to involve innocent people."
"Listen, listen, it's really none of my business, it's really none of my business..."
The old man seemed to finally realize that the Taoist nun in front of him was the one in charge, hurried forward, bowed and said, "I was forced, please forgive me, spare me...Damn Taoist nun!"
When the sound of breaking wind came, the Taoist nun's complexion had changed wildly, and she had no time to stop it. She barely raised her palm, and she backed away a few steps, covering her shoulder, with a trace of blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.
The hunchbacked old man straightened up at this time, his face twisted for a while, and changed in an instant.
"Hey, it's you..."
The middle-aged Taoist nun coughed lightly, and said word by word: "Grandmaster, you actually did such a shameless sneak attack, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed if it spreads?"
"You didn't say you were sneak attacking just now..." The old man curled his lips, looked at her, and said angrily, "Do you know, because of you, the old man has suffered so much along the way..."
Speaking of this, the expression on the old man's face became even more annoyed, and he rushed towards the nun the next moment.
"This account, the old man will settle with you today!"
If she was in her prime, she would naturally not be afraid of the old man, but she was injured by a surprise attack just now, her strength was weakened, and she was invincible. The Taoist figure flashed and disappeared outside the door.
"Where to run!" After solving the Taoist nun, these miscellaneous fish are naturally easy to deal with. Thinking of his hardships along the way, the old man's resentment towards her immediately increased a bit, and he followed her out immediately.
"How to solve the acupoints?"
Li Yi looked at Miss Liu Er and asked anxiously.
Miss Liu Er shook her head: "She used a unique method, you can't solve it."
"Then what to do?"
Miss Liu Er glanced at him and closed her eyes. After a while, an abnormal blush appeared on her face.
She bit her lips tightly, and after trembling her body, she opened her eyes suddenly, picked up Qiushui with one hand, and grabbed his arm with the other, and whispered: "While she..., while she is not here, go!"
