Chapter 260: A Game Within a Game

Even Zhu Ying, who has always liked Ah Liu's unsound and shocking temper, heard this simple sentence at this time, and understood that the innocent little girl had been rescued by Ah Liu, and while she was relieved, she couldn't wait to rush up and beat this kid hard!

It turned out that Ah Liu was not pretending to be indifferent just now, but really indifferent! Because this kid is simply watching people play a monkey show!

Zhang Shou, who also realized this, was angry and funny. Although Ah Liu invited him and Zhu Ying to come out for a walk in front of Qing'an Hall before, he smelled something wrong from this kid's tone, so he took precautions and prepared for both hands, but now it seems that he has completely underestimated the cunning hidden behind this kid's sullenness!

Compared with Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying's subtle moods, the short man's eyes flashed. He snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Don't be complacent! My master has laid a net, don't think that those guys in the Zhao Mansion can come to save you! Even if you have three heads and six arms, there are dozens or hundreds of people behind me, and Dr. Zhang and Miss Zhu don't want to live! ”

"I'm sorry, the people in the Zhao Guogong Mansion may be like this, but they are probably a little stronger than you think." With these words, an emaciated figure carrying a sword appeared in everyone's sight, in addition to the specks of blood on his body, the sword in his hand also had blood dripping, obviously he had just experienced a fight.

When the visitor gradually approached, Zhu Ying, who had just been standing in the backlight and couldn't see his head and face clearly, finally couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Big brother? Aren't you recuperating at home? When did you come out? ”

Hearing this, the deep scar on Zhu Tingfang's left cheek trembled slightly, and when he saw that the short man in Ah Liu's hand was also staring at him with an unbelievable gaze, he said lightly: "What, did your master hear the news that after I Zhu Tingfang returned to Beijing and entered the palace, he began to close the door, probably seriously injured and dying, and don't worry about it anymore?" ”

As he spoke, he took a moment to hand his sword in his left hand, and then nodded at Zhang Shou casually, and then smiled at the stunned Zhu Ying.

"Fortunately, Zhang Shou is more cautious than you, and when he came out, he first ordered someone to talk to me, although he didn't explain it, and I don't know if Ah Liu, this kid, didn't know this meeting place in advance, and he looked at people's secret notes all the way or found it in other ways, or deliberately sold Guanzi, but I made a little move on your carriage, and it was not too late to bring people to find here, just to end up for this kid."

Zhu Tingfang nodded Ah Liu angrily as he spoke, but before he could reproach this kid for being bold, he saw Ah Liu suddenly take a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and pulled the short man's hair, and sent it directly to him. This action was completely unexpected, so much so that when Ah Liu's hand loosened and threw the person in front of him, he didn't react much.

"Eldest son, this is the spoils of war."

Rao is Zhu Tingfang had heard of Ah Liu's temper from his grandmother and stepmother a long time ago, and at this time, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly for this unbelievable statement, so that he glanced sideways at Zhang Shou.

If there is a master, there must be a servant, this kid can have such a temper, saying that it is not taught by Zhang Shou, who believes it?

With a cold face, he grabbed the short man's collar, and when he saw that he closed his eyes happily and did not struggle, he clicked hard with his left hand directly on his hands and feet, and in a few strokes he dislocated all the hands and feet of the short man. Seeing that the person's face was pale, but he gritted his teeth and kept silent, but there was no drastic action such as biting his tongue and committing suicide, he burst out laughing.

"I'm not afraid of pain, but I'm not afraid of falling into my hands, can't I survive or die? What kind of net did you just shout, and you dare to look down on the people of my Zhao Guogong Mansion? Hehe, the sneaky guys over there were outflanked by me, and there were only seven or eight puppies and kittens, how many elite soldiers were there? Just such a little person, and you want the lives of my sister and my brother-in-law? ”

Zhu Tingfang's expression suddenly turned violent, and his last roar, Zhu Ying listened to it with joy in her heart. But Zhang Shou felt that Brother Zhu just blurted out the word brother-in-law in an emotional mood, and people had indeed almost accepted him, but if he really thought that he had completely passed that level, he would be too optimistic. It can only be said that a bright future is not far away.

He was thinking wildly, only to hear an angry voice from behind him: "Miss, Shou Gongzi!" Are you all alright? ”

Zhu Yu rushed over with a steel knife in his hand, and he was already in a hurry to the extreme. But when he saw that among the people who turned to look at him, in addition to Zhang Shou, Zhu Ying and Ah Liu, there was one more Zhu Tingfang with a person in his hand, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Why is the eldest prince here?

Seeing that Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying were all unharmed, and even their clothes were not messy, he didn't think much about it, wiped the blood that had just been splashed on his face, and said in a deep voice: "More than 20 guys with sticks suddenly jumped out of the walls on both sides of the alley, and the brothers were caught off guard, it was all because I was too careless, and it was too late, it was my sin!" ”

Zhu Tingfang smiled and asked bluntly: "How are those people now?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Hong's face turned red, and he lowered his head for a while and said: "It's just some street ruffians with sticks, fortunately, Shou Gongzi ordered us not to kill the killers early on, and try to keep us alive, otherwise maybe we would have killed a few people earlier!" ”

Zhang Shou had been paying attention to the short man's reaction, and after seeing Zhu Hong tell the truth about being intercepted and the fact of hurting people, the man's face suddenly changed, and his eyes flickered, and he immediately glanced at Ah Liu. The two of them have always had a good heart, and Ah Liu immediately stepped forward, directly removed the short man's jaw, and then knocked the person unconscious with a knife.

Zhu Tingfang subconsciously reacted instinctively at the moment Ah Liu approached, but when he was about to make a move with the sword in his right hand, he still held back, and when he saw Ah Liu's movements clearly, he came to his senses.

He only dislocated his hands and feet just now, but he didn't prevent people from losing the ability to speak after biting their tongues, he was not afraid of people looking for death, because Zhang Shou had already told him not to kill, he was sure that he could leave enough alive, but at this time he didn't know where he was, he was afraid that he was still fooled! Without thinking, he threw the person to Ah Liu, and then turned and ran towards the person he had brought.

Seeing Zhu Tingfang walking fast, Zhang Shou immediately said to Zhu Hong, who didn't know who was in the city: "You go back immediately, make sure again, and see if those ruffians are alive!" In short, no one should be allowed to die! ”

Zhu Hong grew up in the Zhao Guogong Mansion, and was able to be relied on by Zhu Jing and Mrs. Tai, of which he was also a shrewd person. He immediately understood what Zhang Shou meant, and hurriedly pulled his legs and ran. And when he left, Zhu Ying looked at the short man who was thrown away by his eldest brother like garbage, looked around and looked at both sides, and finally asked puzzledly: "Ah Shou, what is going on?" ”

Zhang Shou smiled and said: "Although Ah Liu has already taken the lead, saying that he rescued the granddaughter of the old beggar, your eldest brother and Zhu Hong are also very cautious, but seriously, we are still fooled." I'm afraid that the real dead man is only the one in front of him, and the rest are all cats and dogs who gave away people's heads. ”

Zhu Ying was just too lazy to use her brain, not stupid, and at the same time when she suddenly realized, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "So, people have deceived some ruffians and bullies to come over, and I hope that the eldest brother and Zhu Hong will kill them, and then our Zhao Guogong Mansion will have to bear a charge of indiscriminate killing of innocents?" ”

"I'm afraid so." Zhang Shou glanced at Ah Liu, who was still very calm, and sighed and said, "Moreover, if Ah Liu places the granddaughter of the old beggar in my or Zhao Guogong's mansion, and turns back to the yamen to complain, this is the right time for us to detain the granddaughter of the other family and force them to beat the drum and file a complaint." ”

"This ......" Although Zhu Ying said that she had not seen a conspiracy since she was a child, this kind of design made her a little confused, and she held back for a long time before she said angrily, "This is too despicable and shameless!" ”

"It is indeed despicable and shameless to calculate that we are involved in innocent people. But there are some people in this world who are always on high and don't take other people's lives seriously. ”

Zhang Shou narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about who was behind this matter. Before he and Zhu Ying came out, Jiu Niang pulled him aside and told him the dispute between Concubine Yu and the Empress in the Imperial Garden, including the part that accused him, Zhu Ying and Princess Yongping of having a suspicious background. Coupled with all the previous things, what he was most suspicious of was the queen, the eldest prince or the second prince.

However, today's style of acting makes him feel less like the stupid mother and son trio who went to the family.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Ah Liu muttering in a low voice: "I found the little girl, but I didn't bring anyone out." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Ying's eyes widened suddenly. Seeing that Zhang Shou also looked up at Ah Liu, and Ah Liu was looking at the short man on the ground, she immediately asked, "Hey, Ah Liu, you make it clear, what is going on?" ”

Facing the gaze of the four eyes, Ah Liu said with some puzzlement: "After I found someone, of course I told the madman, and then ......"

And then there was no then...... Zhang Shou couldn't help but make up for Ah Liu's sentence, and then coughed and said, "Didn't you say that Hua Qiye was staring at my blacksmith shop and carpenter's shop?" ”

"A madman is not alone."

Hearing Ah Liu casually throw down the short man, he replied to him quite seriously, but Zhang Shou faced the young man's eyes looking at him, but for the first time he felt that he was really a little sluggish. Ah Liu is a person, but that flower seven...... It's a talent with a ghost! Therefore, even if Zhu Hong and Zhu Tingfang's two sides have not yet confirmed the casualties, he is still a lot more relaxed.

Seeing that Zhang Shou was talking to Ah Liu, Zhu Ying was really angry, so she stepped forward and kicked the short and fat man twice, but then suddenly frowned slightly. She flipped the person over on her toes, and found that the person was pale and seemed to be dying at any moment. At this moment, she couldn't help but be startled, turned her head and was about to call someone, but she saw that Zhang Shou had already rushed over in one step, and it was Ah Liu who was faster than Zhang Shou.

Ah Liu directly broke the short man's mouth, frowned and sniffed the smell, then reached out and took his fingers into his mouth, then squatted down and threw the person on his knees, and slammed his back several times.

Zhu Ying was about to speak, but a hand next to her suddenly stretched out and dragged her away. It was too late, and just a few steps away, she immediately smelled an extremely unpleasant smell in her nose, and when she looked again, she saw that the short man had already vomited all over the place.

Where had she ever seen such a scene, she hurriedly covered her nose and took a few steps back, seeing that Ah Liu was not pickled, and she was still there not knowing whether to save or toss that guy, she couldn't help but ask upsetly: "Ah Shou, if this guy dies, is it really reasonable for our Zhu family to succeed?" ”

"Not necessarily." Zhang Shou shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "The more the strategy is linked to each other, the more inevitable loopholes and traces will be left." Only the simpler the strategy, the more indisputable it will be. And the most important thing is that Ah Liu found the little girl and notified Hua Qiye, so we shouldn't have to worry about it next. ”

As she spoke, Zhu Ying saw Ah Liu slap the person's back a few times again, and then put the person on the ground sideβ€”no doubt, just to let the puddle of vomit be directed against the puddle of vomit. She couldn't help pinching her nose and turning her head, until Ah Liu came over, she asked angrily, "Are people dead or alive?" ”

"This guy is amazing, after his jaw was removed, he actually broke the poison sac in his mouth, fortunately I knocked him unconscious, so the poison he swallowed should only be extremely small, after vomiting, there is a certain possibility to save this life."

Speaking of this, Ah Liu wiped his hands with a handkerchief, glanced at the guy who had completely passed out, but the muscles on his face were still twitching, and then said lightly: "He was probably waiting for the final result just now, so he didn't die immediately." As a dead soldier, this is actually not very qualified. Because the dead man has to die regardless of whether the task is completed or not, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else. ”

Zhang Shou saw that Zhu Ying's brows were about to wrinkle into a knot, so he pulled her away a few more steps. Sure enough, away from Ah Liu, who still had some smell on his body and spoke unusually coldly, Zhu Ying's expression gradually became more natural.

However, she still kept looking left and right, observing the movements on both sides, obviously still worried about Zhu Tingfang and Zhu Yu. So, Zhang Shou could only comfort: "Ah Liu, this kid is very good, don't look at him before he raised his hand to shoot arrow after arrow, but he should be able to hurt people without dying." ”

The next moment, he heard Ah Liuyou say: "I know that young master, you asked people to find the eldest prince and told them not to kill, so my arrows are short arrows with limited power, and they are not suitable for long-distance targets." You can't die, at most you have multiple holes in your body. ”

Just when Zhu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard a few sharp whistles in the night, followed by a very loud voice: "Don't let those dogs kill people during the New Year, otherwise Wang Dayin will blame and everyone will be unlucky!" ”
