At dusk, the weather turned from sweltering to sultry, and the operas on the hook 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".
As we get to the back, the number of onlookers around the stage does not decrease but increases. There are usually no entertainment activities in the county, and the people around are idle. Who doesn't like the excitement that is free of charge?
It’s just that after watching and chatting for a long time, I feel very thirsty.
Fortunately, there was a stall selling herbal tea nearby to quench their thirst. More and more people walked over and spent two cents to drink a bowl, then went back to watch the show.
"Ten people are coming."
A man in yellow came over, threw a handful of copper coins on the table, and said.
"Okay, sir, wait a moment!" The man quickly collected the money, opened the two buckets, looked at them, and said, "After selling for a day, there is not much left anyway, sir, feel free to drink.
After drinking, I can pack up my things and go back."
Hearing this, more than a dozen people in yellow clothes and a few people in blue came over.
Just as Li Yi was about to walk out of the inn, a man in blue came forward and said awkwardly: "Master Protector, the Queen has said that you cannot go out."
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "I'll go out and listen to the show."
"My subordinates have prepared a place for you on the second floor of the inn. Please move here, Lord Protector, so you can have a clearer view."
“There are too many people up there and there is no atmosphere.”
"My subordinates will go up and clear the place right now."
"I……"
"Why don't I bring those actors to the protector's room..."
…
…
Li Yi didn't know whether to be happy or to kick him to death for having such a conscientious subordinate who was always thinking about his boss.
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm not interested anymore."
The man in blue bowed and said, "I will send the protector back to his room."
At this time, a man in yellow clothes suddenly walked in from outside the door with a flustered face. When he saw Li Yi, he immediately bowed and said: "See the Zuo Protector!"
"What's going on in a panic?" the man in blue asked dissatisfied.
The man in yellow panicked and said, "Oh no, the right protector has been arrested!"
The man in blue was stunned for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed: "Go and report to the empress!"
"Madam, someone shot this with an arrow." The man in yellow handed a small cloth bag to the middle-aged Taoist girl.
The middle-aged Taoist nun took the bag and took out a jade pendant. Li Yi glanced at it and saw that it was the piece that the young man named Fang had just taken out.
In addition to the jade pendant, there is also a note inside.
It read: "The protector who wants to save you will 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, and the small bamboo forest is thirty miles east of the county town."
A man in blue stepped forward and said respectfully: "My Lady, the Protector has incredible martial arts skills, and there are several envoys in blue around him. It shows that the thieves are powerful, so why not let your subordinates lead the way."
"You guys wait here, I'll go in person." The middle-aged Taoist nun said calmly, "Get your horses ready!"
After a while, several people in blue clothes in the inn looked at each other in confusion. The empress and the two purple-clothed envoys went to rescue Lord Protector. I don’t know who was so bold that he even dared to kidnap the protector. But judging from this, those people’s
The strength cannot be underestimated, and I am afraid that only the empress can solve it.
"Master Protector, please go back to your room and rest." Knowing the special status of the Zuo Protector, the empress asked them to watch carefully, and a man in blue turned around and said respectfully.
"Ha..." Li Yi yawned, pointed to a young boy, and said: "I happen to be sleepy too, and I want to eat something more before going to bed. That young man, please remember to ask the chef to do it later.
Bring some delicious food."
Along the way, they had known for a long time that the protector had two hobbies, eating and sleeping, especially the latter, which had reached an incredible level.
A man in blue casually pointed at the boy and said, "Did you hear that? Go to the kitchen right away and make some..."
Plop!
He didn't finish his sentence, he only felt a pain in his neck, his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.
The other man in blue was stunned for a moment and was about to make a move, but fell to the ground before he could make a sound.
Someone not far away had already noticed something strange, and while running towards this side, they shouted loudly: "Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly!"
But his move didn't get many people's response. Outside the door, the man selling herbal tea had disappeared without a trace. More than a dozen figures were lying on the ground, making the crowd panic.
"Walk!"
Miss Liu Er smoothly 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 she was about to step out of the inn door, she suddenly stopped.
The middle-aged Taoist nun put two fingers on her shoulders and said, "Leader Liu, long time no see."
…
I originally wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain and escape from the golden mountain, but I didn't expect that the Taoist nun would use the trick to escape. A quarter of an hour later, she should have left the county town, but she suddenly appeared at the door. The grand master actually performed such a shameless sneak attack, and Miss Liu Er was hit on the acupuncture points.
, could only speak but not move. All the previous arrangements came to nothing under the absolute strength of this Taoist nun.
"Take some people to the small bamboo forest and bring back the Dharma Protector." The middle-aged Taoist nun ordered. Two men in purple took the order and sent people to bring back more than ten people who had been poisoned by the Mongolian sweat medicine. They also summoned about twenty people.
He seemed to be leaving the inn soon.
After such an accident and the fact that it was getting late, the charity performance outside the inn naturally could not continue.
The Taoist nun sat at the table, looked at Miss Liu Er and asked, "It must be difficult for Leader Liu to follow you all the way from Kyoto, right?"
Miss Liu Er glanced at her with a calm expression and did not speak.
An old man with a hunchback was pressed down by a man in blue and said: "Sir, this is really none of our business. If I don't do what she said, 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: "This little old man has an eighty-year-old mother, his son died young, and below him there is an eight-year-old grandson. Please forgive me, please forgive me!"
"My dear, he is the manager 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 is right. This matter has nothing to do with him. It's up to you whether you want to kill or behead him. 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 know that the Taoist nun in front of him was the one in charge. He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said: "I was forced to do so, please spare me, spare me... Damn Taoist nun!"
When the sound of breaking wind came, the Taoist nun's face changed wildly, and she had no time to stop her. She raised her palms and stepped back a few steps, covering her shoulders, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
The hunchbacked old man had straightened up at this time, his face twisted for a while, and his face changed instantly.
"Ahem, it's you..."
The middle-aged Taoist nun coughed lightly and said word by word: "Master, you actually did such a shameless sneak attack. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if the news spread?"
"What you said just now was not like a sneak attack..." The old man curled his lips, looked at her, and said angrily: "Do you know how much suffering I have suffered along the way because of you..."
Having said this, the expression on the old man's face became even more angry, and the next moment he stormed towards the Taoist nun.
"I will settle this account with you today!"
If she was in her prime, she would naturally not be afraid of this old man, but she was injured in a sneak attack just now, her strength was damaged, and she was invincible. The Taoist nun disappeared outside the door in a flash.
"Where to run!" After dealing with the Taoist nun, these miscellaneous fish were 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 immediately followed her out.
"How to solve the acupuncture points?"
Li Yi looked at Miss Liu Er and asked anxiously.
Miss Liu Er shook her head: "She used a unique technique, and you can't figure it out."
"What should we do?"
Miss Liu Er glanced at him and closed her eyes. After a moment, an abnormal blush appeared on her face.
She bit her lips tightly, and after trembling her body, she opened her eyes suddenly, picked up Qiu Shui with one hand, and grabbed his arm with the other hand, and whispered: "While she..., while she is not here, leave quickly!
