Chapter 250 The Fire
"Cut him!"
Xiao Wu was busy all night, and he was scolded by the shopkeeper first, but he had to carry a kitchen knife to the next door Hongxiuzhao to chop off the dancer who he had seen, and splashed all over his body.
At this time, he took action with anger, and the powerful bone-cutting knife came out of his hand, spinning and buzzing in the air, heading straight for the prince's face.
At the critical moment, Li Xuan drew his sword out of the sheath, and the tip of the sword gently tapped on the spiraling hilt. His wrist shook slightly, and the bone-cutting knife actually rotated around the tip of the sword.
Li Xuan shook his wrist again, where did the bone-cutting knife come from and where to go, and went straight to Xiao Wu's chest and abdomen.
Xiao Wu was shocked and leaned backwards. The bone-cutting knife whizzed past his nose.
With a sound of the dog, the bone-cutting knife slashed on the wooden board outside the counter, and the handle of the knife trembled continuously.
"Have a clue, stand shoulder to shoulder!" Xiao Wu cursed angrily.
The shopkeeper called him angrily: "Get out of here, don't be embarrassed."
"Oh," Xiaowu stood up straight, pulled out his kitchen knife from the counter, and led Xiaoliu back to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper first looked at Li Xuan. The man's swordsmanship was really amazing just now. But the one who was even more eye-catching than this swordsman was the young man next to Li Xuan with white clothes, arrow sleeves and a silver crown tied with hair.
The moment Xiao Wu threw out the bone-clip knife, the young man smiled and did not blink his eyelids. It seemed that he was sure from the beginning that the bone-clip knife would not hurt him.
Such a demeanor is rare.
Xiao Wu whispered from the side: "Shopkeeper, where is the origin?"
The shopkeeper said calmly: "This demeanor and such a master must be the sea winged (a big man) from the capital."
The prince smiled and broke the deadlock, clasped his fists and said, "This shopkeeper, I just passed by without any malice. Are there any misunderstandings between us? If there is any verbal offense just now, I'll compensate you here."
The shopkeeper also smiled and bowed: "It's my ignorant guy who has made a misunderstanding, and it has nothing to do with the guest."
The prince stepped forward a few steps and looked at the inn with interest: "Shopkeeper, your shop is all officials of the innate realm. No wonder Longmen Inn has a well-known reputation in Guyuan City. I just don't know why we are just now.
When Chen Ji's name is mentioned, the guy wants to take action? Could it be that Chen Ji did something offend your store when he lived here?"
The shopkeeper explained: "The guest misunderstood. The young master of the Chen family is a distinguished guest inn. Just now, a spy from Jingchao came to assassinate him, and even a big hole was made on the roof of the room number A, so you asked Chen Ji.
Whether you live here or not, I think you are here to assassinate the Chen family’s son.”
As soon as these words came out, the prince subconsciously said in surprise: "Jing Chao spy assassinated Chen Ji? Why?"
The shopkeeper looked at the prince and said calmly: "Maybe it was because the Chen family's son had broken their plan before. These Jing Chao spies were afraid of the Chen family's son's ignorance and were afraid that he would find something again, so they simply took action first.
”
The prince turned to look at Qi and thought: "Have he mentioned this tonight?"
Qi Jingju shook his head: "No, he said nothing."
The prince whispered: "We are only thinking about the news he sent, but we don't know that he is still in danger. I am ashamed. Brother Chen Ji is also tolerant and never mentions only a few words. Nowadays, he only does things and does not complain.
There are too few people."
Qi Jingju's face turned red and he didn't dare to say anything.
At this time, Li Xuan changed the subject aside. He put his sword in his hand and asked the shopkeeper loudly: "I'm sorry, I wonder if you heard the Hongxiuzhao next door just now? Where have their people gone?"
Xiao Wu said without hesitation: "We cut, what's wrong?"
Li Xuan: "?"
It's that simple?
Li Xuan was surprised and said in a slight : "Why do you want to cut off the Hongxiuzhao people?"
The shopkeeper responded with a smile: "They were idle in the middle of the night and ran to assassinate the young master of the Chen family. They were not allowed to complain about others. This means that the young master of the Chen family was not injured. If there was any injury, it would be difficult for them to die."
He was surprised to think about it.
The prince and Li Xuan couldn't help but look at each other: Chen Ji was so familiar with Longmen Inn? They just came to mention their names before, and the inn staff fought against them.
Hongxiuzhao came to assassinate Chen Ji, but the innkeeper came to the door to kill people overnight?
How long has Chen Ji been to Guyuan?
How could this be?
The prince was silent for a moment, and whispered to Li Xuan, and they said, "If you want to succeed in Guyuan, you will definitely be able to help you. I hope you will let go of your prejudice and shake hands with Chen Ji later.
and."
Li Xuan hurriedly clasped his fists: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much. As long as you can help you achieve things, you can do anything with a humble position. Moreover, Chen Ji is indeed outstanding, so you should put aside your contempt and arrogance."
Seeing that Qi Jingju had been resolutely refusing to speak, he hurriedly took a look.
All thought about it and said reluctantly: "I'm the same."
The prince smiled and said, "It's good that this is great. Maybe after you return to Beijing, you will become colleagues."
After saying that, he looked at the shopkeeper and bowed and said, "Shopkeeper, we are not here to assassinate Chen Ji, but his friend. Please ask the friend to go up and report it, and then say that the old friend is visiting."
Xiao Wu looked at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper winked: "Go."
Xiao Wu ran upstairs. After a while, Chen Ji followed him down. Seeing that it was the prince, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Dian..."
The prince shook his head slightly, and Chen Ji immediately changed his words: "Young Master Zhu, I have missed the welcome. I wonder what is important about your visit late at night?"
The prince smiled and said, "Go out and talk?"
Chen Ji thought about it, picked up his clothes and walked out.
When everyone left the door, Xiao Wu lay on the counter and said boredly: "Shopkeeper, are these people friends of the Chen family's young master?"
The shopkeeper sneered: "No. I said before that the young master of the Chen family was assassinated, but these people did not ask him about his safety as soon as possible. Instead, they only care about why the spy Jing Chao wanted to assassinate him. Could this be a real friend? If I were assassinated, you would be the first one.
What was the reaction?”
Xiao Wu thought for a moment: "Does it be my shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper cursed angrily: "Get out! It's not your turn to die!"
...
...
Under the night of Kucha Street outside the gate, hundreds of cavalry guards stood with their horses.
Chen Ji bowed and asked, "Why is Your Highness here?"
The prince smiled and explained, "You came to send me a message tonight, but I couldn't even get in the Dusi Mansion. I rushed to the scene immediately after hearing this, for fear that you would be rifted. I heard that you were assassinated again, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Ji whispered: "It is a matter of sharing your worries for your Highness, and you dare not speak of your hardship."
The prince looked around and Li Xuan immediately understood it, stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Brother Chen Ji, I offended you so much before, and I was watching people in the crack of Li Xuan's door. I hope you can continue to assist with me without any grudges.
Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
Chen Ji hurriedly said, "Mr. Li is so serious. I am not a narrow-minded person and have not taken the previous things to heart."
After saying that, he looked at each other and considered.
It's your turn.
Take good care of your eyebrows.
He was silent for a long time, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "I admire those who are capable, who have offended them before and will not be able to do so in the future."
The prince smiled and smoothed out the situation: "Okay, we all work together in the future, and we should work together... Brother Chen Ji, I wonder if you have any clues about Jing Chao's thief in your hands?"
Chen Ji remembered the clerk of the Liuli Shop and the shopkeeper of the fur shop that Xiao Wu mentioned, but replied: "Report to Your Highness, there is no one for the time being."
The prince was a little disappointed, and soon Zhan Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, I believe my brother will win something if he stays at this Longmen Inn..."
However, before he finished speaking, he saw the fire that soared into the sky in Guyuan City. In the distance, huge smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the smell of ashes floated from the wind.
The city of Guyuan became noisy, and every household climbed up to the roof to look out.
Li Xuan kicked hard, rose up like an eagle and falcon, and stepped onto the roof of the octagonal building of Longmen Inn in a few steps.
He stood on the gray tiles, holding the double eaves of the octagonal building and looking into the distance, but saw three fires burning in Guyuan City, unlike "accidentally" walking through the water.
If you accidentally get out of water, you will never burn three places at the same time!
When Li Xuan saw where the flames came from, his face changed immediately. He turned around and shouted to the prince: "Your Highness, it's not good. It's the direction of the Dusi Mansion, the border army's granary and the armory!"
They prevented poisoning in the water, but failed to prevent burning the granary. Not only did the food stored in Guyuan City be destroyed, but also the vine armor that was already stretched to the border army was destroyed.
No, there is also the armor of the Yulin Army, which is also in the fire in the Dusi Mansion.
Guyuan is finished.
Chen Ji immediately looked at the prince: "Your Highness, there must be some careful work within the border army, otherwise it will be impossible to succeed."
The prince ordered: "The Yulin Army obeyed the order and returned to the Dusi Mansion to put out the fire!"
Chen Ji shouted: "Zhaozao!"
The next moment, the neighing sound of war horses came from the backyard of the inn. Zaozao actually passed by the inn and knocked open the cotton curtain of the inn to Kucha Street. His nose was spewing thick white air.
Chen Ji grabbed the saddle and turned over. A window on the third floor opened. Zhang Zheng shouted: "Chen Ji, go ahead!"
