"you dare!"
Someone jumped in from the window.
"Arrows?!"
Shi Guangyao rushed to the door, only to see a few of his attendants dumbfounded and motionless, he couldn't help being furious: "You guys are dead!"
Lian Jian said coolly behind him: "Don't blame them, I tapped their acupoints."
Shi Guangyao took a sip: "A bunch of idiots."
Tao Wuwen asked: "Brother Lianjian, when did you come?"
Lian Jian smiled and said: "When you said that I am different from Huang Guangde."
Seeing that the two of them were obviously very close, Shi Guangyao became sour: "So what if they're different? No, it's not up to you either."
"Come on, bah! You treat Wuwen as the things you keep in Tianshuijing Alley!"
Tao Wuwen tugged on Lianjian's sleeve: "Mr. Shi actually respects me a lot."
Shi Guangyao blushed. Before Lian Jian came, he had actually made up his mind: it would be best if he could coax Tao Wuwen, and if he didn't get in, he would force it.
Lian Jian obviously didn't believe it: "Really?" His eyes wandered between Tao Wuwen and Shi Guangyao. Seeing Tao Wuwen nodding seriously, he said helplessly to Shi Guangyao: "Well, since you still respect Wuwen, I don't care about you. Take your dog legs and go! Don't come to Wuwen again. "
Shi Guangyao said strangely: "Hey! Who are you from Wu Wen? Why do you let me find Wu Wen? You should take care of Huang Guangde first!"
"I will take care of Huang Guangde myself, it has nothing to do with you!"
"Why has nothing to do with me? Wuwen didn't—promise you!"
This is simply which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, Lian Jian immediately furious: "How are you doing?"
Shi Guangyao was confident: "The emperor said that you and I are generals, but he didn't say who is stronger. Why don't you and I compete in martial arts, whoever loses will never see Wuwen again!"
Tao Wuwen hurriedly stood between the two of them: "No! Since the emperor praises you two, he will rely heavily on you in the future. If you two are fighting here, if you become disabled, wouldn't it be a loss to the country?" He stared at Lianjian , the meaning of dissuasion is very obvious.
Lian Jian smiled and said: "Wu Wen is not afraid, he will definitely lose."
Shi Guangyao sneered: "Nonsense! Only after the comparison will you know!"
Tao Wuwen was so anxious that she was about to cry: "No matter who makes mistakes, Wuwen is the country's sinner today!"
Tao Zhengchun was standing in the corridor, and when he saw this, he hurried over to dissuade him: "Two young masters, please calm down! Martial arts competition is a big event, how can it be held in private? We must choose an auspicious day, and invite respected people to be witnesses!"
Seeing that Lian Jian hesitated after hearing this, Shi Guangyao was afraid that he would regret it, so he said, "It's okay, we are playing in private. If you are afraid of accidental injury, just remove the point of the gun and the blade of the knife!"
Speaking of this, if Lian Jian refuses to agree, he will be a coward: "It's done! Those who lose will never come to Wu Wen again!"
Shi Guangyao's eyes froze: "It's a deal!"
Shi Guangyao was tall and strong, standing in the courtyard, he looked like a big stone Buddha. Even though Lian Jian and Tao Wuwen were tall, they still felt suffocated standing in front of him. Lian Jian released the acupoints of Shi Guangyao's entourage, and the entourage called down all the friends and guests in the private room of Ruyi Pavilion. Shi Qianshan heard that Shi Guangyao was going to compete with Lian Jian, so he hurriedly asked, "How can Lian Jian deserve Guangyao's hand? I'll do it!"
Lian Jian and Shi Guangyao spit at him at the same time: "Get out of the way!"
Shi Qianshan didn't give up: "I came out with my brother, how can I make him sweat? Second uncle will definitely blame me. Brother, give me a face, don't let me be scolded by second uncle." He was very eager to ask.
Shi Guangyao immediately felt sympathetic and hesitant.
When Lian Jian saw him, he said impatiently: "Are you in a match? I competed with you, Mr. Shi, and it was still a fist match. Who wants to compare with him? I heard that although you two are a master, he has never Beat you once. Besides, isn’t the bet meant to lose Wu Wen? What does Wu Wen have to do with him?”
Shi Guangyao nodded: "Not bad! Come on!"
The two of you come and I fight together.
Shi Guangyao dared to challenge Lian Jian, his skills were indeed amazing. Fisting and kicking, the chassis was very stable, Lian Jian attacked several times, but failed to knock him down. Instead, Shi Guangyao used his height to cause several crises for Lian Jian. Lian Jian gradually became a little impatient, afraid that he would not be able to see Tao Wuwen after losing. Fortunately, he soon found out that Shi Guangyao practiced purely outsider kung fu and had no internal strength at all, so he secretly thought about it.
After making an opening, before Shi Guangyao's fist reached his body, he slapped Shi Guangyao's chest with a "slap".
Shi Guangyao has practiced martial arts for a long time, and ordinary people can't hurt him with a palm, but after this palm, he felt his heart twitching, his blood surged, and he was unable to make another move.
Lianjian succeeds with one move, floats back and retreats: "Acceptance, acquiescence! Brother Shi is very skilled, Lian is really lucky!"
He said this sincerely. If it wasn't for Shi Guangyao's inability to practice internal martial arts, he would have no chance of winning, so he admired him, and his title changed from Young Master Shi to Brother Shi.
Shi Qianshan exclaimed, rushed forward, supported Shi Guangyao, and took his pulse easily.
After a long time, he raised his head and met Shang Tao Wuwen's worried eyes. I thought: "This Young Master Tao is too stupid, isn't he? Guangyao cares so much about him, yet he still cares about Guangyao." Then he said to Tao Wuwen: "It's okay, just a little injury, just take medicine and rest for a few days."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but Tao Wuwen was not relieved, but told Shi Guangyao, "Young Master Shi, remember to take your medicine and rest."
Seeing that he cared so much for him, Shi Guangyao was even more annoyed: "I lost, and I won't be able to see you in the future!"
Tao Wuwen smiled slightly and said, "I'll be waiting for your news on Victory Victory News."
When he smiled, his eyes were like the morning sun on a spring river, the rippling water was clear and warm, coupled with the gentle voice, Shi Guangyao felt unspeakably comfortable after hearing it, and he suddenly felt proud: "Okay! Just wait!"
Shi Qianshan wanted to carry Shi Guangyao on his back, but Shi Guangyao refused: "Where did he get hurt so badly?" Shi Qianshan had no choice but to help him go. Lian Jian, Tao Wuwen and others sent them to the door and watched Shi Guangyao get on the horse before returning.
Lian Jian asked Huang Guangde the whole story, and was filled with resentment. He regards Wu Wen as a treasure, respects and loves it, but Huang Guangde wants to take it by force, it's just begging for beating! He comforted Tao Wuwen and said: "You don't have to go, Huang Guangde has me there, forgive him for not listening to me."
Tao Wuwen watched the contest between him and Shi Guangyao, and was very shocked. Now she trusted him even more, so she nodded obediently.
Seeing that he is so obedient, Lian Jian couldn't help but throbbed in his heart. Fortunately, his reason was still there, and he didn't take any overstepping actions. It's great to stay and fly with me, but if you can't, just be good friends with him for the rest of your life."
While thinking to himself, a voice rang out: "I don't know how much internal force Master Lian used in that palm? Then how did Master Shi get hurt? Is it really okay?"
Everyone looked and saw a middle-aged man. Tao Wuwen hurriedly introduced: "This is Lao Tao, my housekeeper."
Lian Jian saw that the essence of the old Tao's eyes was introverted, and when he stood up, he was as stable as Mount Tai. He felt suspicious, looked at Tao Zhengchun, but saw that Tao Zhengchun didn't care, he must know the details of this old Tao, so he said bluntly: "It's okay, I only used 30% of my internal strength, his viscera must be injured, but rest will heal him. If I had used less force at that time, I was afraid that I would not be able to injure him and would not be able to win; Wei and I don't even match each other, and I did it right when I slapped the palm."
Old Tao said: "Even so, Mr. Lian might as well go back to the manor immediately and explain to the elders in the family. In case Shi Taiwei finds a gap, even the old general can adapt accordingly, which is better than being at a loss."
Lian Jian took it for granted, but also felt that old Tao was unfathomable because of it. After hesitating again and again, seeing that old Tao seemed to have no malice towards Tao Wuwen, he took his leave and prepared to leave.
Before going out, a group of soldiers rushed in: "Where is Lianjian Tao Wuwen?!"
"I'm Lian Jian. Which general are you under?!" Lian Jian rushed out, but immediately saw the answer, because Shi Qianshan had already split up: "Lian Jian, you will pay for Guangyao's life!"
Lian Jian held Shi Qianshan's long knife: "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't hurt him seriously!"
"But Guangyao is already dead! He died when he got home! He vomited blood and died. The imperial doctor said that he hurt his internal organs!" Shi Qianshan's eyes were red, and he spewed anger, "I don't know what kind of deceit you did. You were only slightly injured, but there is no doubt that Guangyao died because of you! You are sensible, follow me to Jingzhao Mansion to surrender! Otherwise, my second uncle will report to the imperial court, and even the general and Gu Siqing will not be able to protect you !"
Lian Jian was full of doubts: "No, I want to see Brother Shi! I didn't hurt him seriously, how could he die as soon as he turned around?"
"That's right! Didn't he ride back by himself?" Tao Wuwen also rushed out.
Shi Qianshan stared at Tao Wuwen, Tao Wuwen inexplicably felt a chill stabbing like a knife, and subconsciously took a step back. Lian Jian had already stood in front of him: "This has nothing to do with Wu Wen! He is powerless. Brother Shi was injured by me. I have a sense of how serious the injury is. You can't call him dead. Just go and confess! You take me to see Brother Shi's widow, if he is confirmed to be dead, I will be the one who does the work!"
Shi Qianshan stared bitterly at everyone in the hall, and then turned around: "Let's go!"
Tao's father and son, housekeeper Lao Tao, and Shutong Guozi sat around, and everyone was listless.
Tao Zhengchun stroked his forehead with his hands: "I paid the cook and the guys all wages, and let everyone hide for a few days."
Guozi jumped up anxiously: "Then let's go quickly, what are you waiting for?"
"Why are you going?" Old Tao glared at him. "If you left before, you can say that you don't want to do it anymore. If you want to change places, Huang Guangde has no reason to look for it all over the world. But if there is a murder case, if you run away with your family again, you will be killed." It seems guilty of being a thief, and the innocence has become guilty!"
Tao Wuwen still didn't understand: "Didn't Brother Lian say that he was careful? How could Mr. Shi still die?"
Lao Tao frowned deeply: "The matter is not simple. But Shi Guangyao is indeed dead. The cause of death is indeed internal bleeding."
Tao Wuwen sat in a daze for a long time, tears slowly falling down: "Master Shi is dead, what should I do with my eldest brother? I don't know what crime I will ask? In the afternoon, I said that there was a mistake, and I became a sinner of the country. prophecy."
Tao Zhengchun stretched out his hand to take him into his arms, stroked the back of his head in silence.
Lao Tao comforted him and said, "Fortunately, Jing Zhaoyin is in charge of this matter. Huang Guangde and Gu Lian belong to the same party, so they should be merciful?"
Guozi Fuhe: "That's right! Don't worry, young master, Young Master Lian and his grandfather are great generals, so they won't let Young Master Lian have trouble."
As soon as the words fell, there was a deafening knock on the door: "Jingzhao Mansion official business! Open the door!"
Tao Wuwen straightened up, her face pale. Tao Zhengchun and Lao Tao looked at each other, and Lao Tao stood up to open the door. Tao Zhengchun said to Tao Wuwen: "You are here, no matter what happens, don't go out."
After walking two steps, he turned around and found Tao Wuwen following behind, sighed, took his son's hand, and walked out together.
As soon as the door opened, a man dressed as a police chief stepped aside, revealing Huang Guangde's master. The master cupped his hands: "Treasurer Tao." Tao Zhengchun also cupped his hands: "Congratulations, master."
Master He said to the arresters quickly: "You guys wait here a moment, Mr. Huang has something else to tell Shopkeeper Tao."
Tao Zhengchun hurriedly moved away from the door, and made a gesture of invitation.
Lao Tao and Guo Guo accompanied Tao Wuwen and the other policemen to stare at each other.
On weekdays, any arrester who comes to Zuixianglou will be treated with good tea. Today, the atmosphere is eerily quiet.
After a long time, Master He and Tao Zhengchun came out, and Tao Zhengchun said solemnly: "Old Tao, come here, I have something to tell you."
Tao Wuwen looked suspiciously at Tao Zhengchun, then at Lao Tao, saw the two of them entering the private room, and then at Master He. Master He just looked at his own feet, as if flowers would grow on those feet immediately.
Not long after, Tao Zhengchun and Lao Tao left the private room, and said to Tao Wuwen, "Zixianglou cannot be exempted from responsibility for Mr. Shi's death. Daddy will go to accompany Mr. Lian for a few days, and come back after finding out the truth."
Tao Wuwen was startled, and held Tao Zhengchun's arms: "What does it have to do with Daddy? It's clearly because of me!"
He is very tall, equal to Tao Zhengchun. But the gesture and demeanor of asking each other with arms raised is still just a child who depends on his father. Tao Zhengchun's eyes turned red, and he patted the back of his hand: "My dear Wu Wen, if you go, you won't be able to come back. If Daddy is going, there is still room for maneuver. You must listen to Lao Tao here, and don't act recklessly."
As he said that, he took off Tao Wuwen's hand, and followed Master He and the arrester to leave quickly. Tao Wuwen shouted: "Wait a moment!" Everyone stopped.
Tao Wuwen stammered a little anxiously: "I don't know if it's cold or not—" Then he turned and ran away. Everyone was puzzled and just ignored him and left. Tao Wuwen ran out with a thin quilt in his arms: "Daddy Bring it on."
The chief of the police sneered: "It's really young master, you think you're staying in an inn? If anyone goes to prison and takes everything with him, what kind of dignity is that?!"
Tao Wuwen was choked by him, tears welled up in her eyelashes and flowed out quickly. Master He coughed: "It's okay to bring a cloak or something." Tao Wuwen turned around and ran in again, and came out with a cloak in his arms. Tao Zhengchun's clothes were taken care of by himself. He didn't know where Tao Zhengchun's cloak was, but he took his own and put it on Tao Zhengchun.
Tao Zhengchun looked at his son in relief, nodded, and left quickly with the arresters.
"Young master, let's go to bed! Stay in Qingshan, I'm not afraid of running out of firewood."
Tao Wuwen lay on the bed, with his back to Guozi, just nodded.
The father who held him in his arms and comforted him just now was imprisoned in a blink of an eye, and his life and death were uncertain. How could he sleep
Old Tao pulled the fruit and shook his head at him.
The two of them stopped outside the screen. Guozi said in a low voice, "Master must be crying."
Old Tao glared at him: "Will he stop crying when you stay there?"
Fruit choked.
Old Tao sighed: "Go to sleep, if even you are tired and sick, who will take care of the young master?"
"The young master..."
"I'll take care of it. I'll call you in the middle of the night, and you will replace me."
Guozi thought it would be appropriate to do so, so she went to bed uneasy. Maybe it was because he was too tired. As soon as he fell down, he fell asleep.
In a daze, someone shook: "Hao Guozi, get up!"
He knew it was Lao Tao's voice, and guessing that it was Lao Tao going to sleep, he called him up to watch the night. He was afraid of disturbing the young master, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously and got up lightly. When he sat down, he was taken aback. Before he could yell out, Lao Tao had already blocked his mouth.
It turned out that the luggage he packed in the morning had disappeared.
Old Tao asked him: "Would you like to wander around the world with the young master and live a hard life? Or would you like to go to Huang Guangde's residence with the young master to enjoy happiness?" He let go of his hands.
Hao Guozi felt extremely humiliated: "Of course I don't want the young master to be insulted by that dog official! As long as the young master is safe, what do I suffer?"
"Master He came today and said that what Shi Qianshan and Lian Jian confessed was that Shi Guangyao fought with Lian Jian for a girl, but Huang Guangde Xiao missed our young master and took him to try to force the young master to submit. If we stay here, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the evil hands. I want to take the young master away tonight, but there are secret sentries of Huang Guangde guarding the front and back doors."
Hao Guozi was in a hurry: "Then what should I do?" After speaking, he felt that his voice was too loud, so he quickly glanced at the inner room, but saw that Tao Wuwen was sleeping peacefully and had not been woken up. Feeling strange in my heart, I comforted myself in a flash because Tao Wuwen cried in the middle of the night, and now I am tired, so I slept soundly.
Old Tao calmly said: "At this moment in the dead of night, one of you and I will pretend to run away from the master through the back door, and when the secret whistle catches up, the other will run away with the young master on his back." A pair of eyes fixed on Hao Guozi, "Which one do you choose?"
