On the sequelae of suspended animation + voice

Chapter 13: Accidents

Suddenly hearing that he was in danger of being killed, Zong Nian's expression changed, and before he could move, he was blocked by Lu Shao.

"So?" Lu Shao's face remained unchanged, but his heart was extremely nervous.Although he has a good relationship with Song Qing, he also knows that Song Qing, who is a killer, may not care about their small friendship.But in a short period of time, he had already thought of a hundred ways to get Zong Nian out.

In short, you must protect the people behind you.

Song Qing chuckled, and the dimple around her mouth showed again. "What are you doing, sir? So nervous about your baby? I'm not a thief who steals incense and jade." He narrowly blinked at Zong Nian, who was blocked by Lu Shao.

"I don't think you've forgotten the sects I've eliminated in the past three years." Lu Shao ignored his jokes, and secretly activated his internal power. If he really did, he wouldn't be caught off guard.

Song Qing shook her head, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.While laughing, he pulled out the soft sword from his waist and put it on the table in the room, and said, "I became a beauty when I was angry with the crown, today I have learned the lesson."

The fact that he untied his weapon meant that he had no intention of using force.Lu Shao breathed a sigh of relief.

Zong Niancai was also afraid to make a sound because of the subtle atmosphere between the two. Although he had Jiekong Kung Fu, but in terms of martial arts experience, he was far inferior to the other two in the room. Seeing Song Qing let go The sword, the tense body also relaxed.

"But... who will kill me?" Zong Nian was puzzled.He disappeared for three years before returning to this world, and all the enemies who wanted to put him to death have long since died. In fact, there may not even be many people who know him.

Lu Shao also frowned, even he couldn't think of anyone else who wanted to kill Zong Nian.

Under the urging eyes of the two, Song Qing even poured herself a cup of tea leisurely, and only opened her mouth slowly after she drank it all down.

"I saw Zong Shaoxia's name on the red wall, and felt that this person's name was familiar, so I took down the sign. Then I realized that it was the landlord's sweetheart. I thought it would be interesting, So I came to Yangzhou to look for you."

"The red wall?"

Seeing Zong Nian's puzzled face, Lu Shao explained.

"It's where the members of the building receive commissions. The commissioner writes the name and reward of the person to kill on the red sign and hangs it on the wall. Because there are commissions all the year round, the entire wall looks like it is covered in paint. Red, hence the name Red Wall."

Song Qing asked.

"You really have no clue?"

Zong Nian really couldn't think of any enemies he had, so he could only shake his head in confusion.

"In short, you'd better pay more attention recently. I didn't accept that commission. I wanted to accept it before I came to Yangzhou, but when I went to Chiqiang, I found that the sign had been taken away."

Song Qing touched the teacup in her palm, looked at Lu Shao's gloomy expression, and couldn't even hide the expression of "there's a good show" on her face.He coughed, and the goal for tonight had been achieved, so he straightened his expression and put away his soft sword to say goodbye.

"I have other things to do. It's a long night, so it's not easy to disturb the two of you."

Suddenly knowing that his life was in danger, before Zong Nian was worried, Lu Shao couldn't sit still.After Song Qing left, he saw that he first walked to the window, took out the whistle that Zong Nian gave him from his collar, and blew a few strange tunes into the dark night outside the window, and after a while, a gray pigeon fluttered It flew in with wings and landed on his shoulder.

Lu Shao took out a note that seemed to be prepared for the current situation from his pocket, stuffed it into the ring tied on the pigeon's feet, and let it fly back into the night.

After doing all this, he fiddled with a lot of devices by the window and behind the door to prevent the two from being attacked in their sleep.

Zong Nian was stunned by his movements. First, he had little experience in the world and was a bit novel. Second, it was funny to see Lu Shao's tense appearance. For some reason, the tension in his heart dissipated a little.

"...I still don't feel safe enough." Lu Shao frowned more and more tightly, as if he would not sleep to watch the night.

Seeing that he seemed to be moving for real, Zong Nian hurriedly grabbed him and pressed him down on the bed. Without any explanation, he helped him take off his shoes and socks and covered him with a quilt.

The quilt was covered too high, only Lu Shao's eyes were exposed, staring straight at Zong Nian who was still standing.Through the quilt, his voice sounded muffled.

"Ji Zhi, although I really want to go to the sky with you, but tonight I still—"

Before he finished speaking, Zong Nian, who was a little embarrassed, covered his mouth through the quilt, and could only make a noise of protest.

"Shut up and sleep well." Zong Nian's ears were warmed by what he said. Seeing that he was really obedient and stopped making a sound, he just stared at himself pitifully, so he let go of his hand and turned to put The candles in the house were blown out.

When I came back and lay down on the bed, before my feet were tucked in, another person immediately came in through the air leak.Zong Nian said helplessly: "With those small devices you just made, even if the killer comes in tonight, we will wake up immediately."

There's no need to hug so tightly even to sleep, right?

"Or are you really not going to sleep tonight?"

Even so, don't drag others!How can you sleep with such a tight hug?

Lu Shao rarely replied, but his hands and feet were still wrapped around him.Zong Nian, who had waited for a while but still didn't get a reply, turned his head in doubt, only to see a pair of eyes staring at him faintly in the darkness, and was startled unexpectedly.

After waiting for a while, the other party still just looked at him like that.Zong Nian sighed.

"Don't worry, aren't you here?"

He probably guessed why Lu Shao, who had never been a serious person, was so worried and frightened.The reason made him a little dumbfounded, but more importantly, he felt the warmth in his heart.

Since the death of his parents, he has never been treated so cherished by others.

"Thank you."

Zong Nian said softly.

He felt being held tighter.After a while, another voice was heard speaking at the same volume.

"...Then, as a thank you, Ji Zhi will stay by my side forever."

Someone commissioned an assassin to assassinate Zong Nian, and the two of them tacitly did not mention it to Yue Xiao, but they were more vigilant no matter day or night, so as not to be attacked by others.Lu Shao was still worried, and still seemed overly nervous. He knew the killing methods of Wuwanglou's killer best. No matter how much Zong Nian tried to persuade him, he would not leave him for half a step.

There are only seven days left until the Treasure Appreciation Conference, and martial arts figures are becoming more and more ubiquitous.Zong Nian and the others also came to the inn where many people from the rivers and lakes came, and occasionally they could hear their conversations, and Chi Xingyu practiced every word.Everyone's purpose is very clear, it is for this treasure handed down from generation to generation.

The sect that lived on the same floor as Zong Nian Lu Shao and the others was a well-known sect called Tianxiao Sect. They were good at using heavy swords. Everyone carried a thick and sharp sword behind their backs, which was very majestic.

This time the Tianxiao faction sent Meng Fan, the head's son, who is also a well-known chivalrous man. He is very cheerful and had a relationship with Yue Xiao. At this time, he saw Zong Nian and the three of them sitting by the window for dinner , and took the initiative to chat.

Living in the same inn, they chatted a few times without looking up and down, and Meng Fan became acquainted with them.Once they got acquainted with each other, Zong Nian realized that the word "bright" that he described when they first met didn't quite fit. The fact that the Treasure Appreciation Conference is to get Chi Xingyu to please the girl he likes, he said it outright.

"Brother Meng, can you tell us this?" Yue Xiao didn't know how to reply for a moment.

Meng Fan took a sip of his wine and waved his hand indifferently.He came from the north and was not used to drinking tea, so he only ordered wine at the same table as them.

"It's okay, you are not evil people, you are friends of mine, Meng Fan, who hit it off right away. If you ask me, the talents from the Absolute Beginning Sect are not good guys. They pretend to be gentle, but in fact they are all inferior to beasts."

The Taichu Sect is also another great sect, they are good at palming, but they are not very good at dealing with the Tianxiao Sect.It is well known in the world that the relationship between the two sects is not good, but although some small frictions often occur between the sects, they are only verbal, and there is no bloody feud in reality.

Coincidentally, this time the Taichu sent to live in this inn.Seeing that they were upset, Meng Fan always wanted to swear a few words.

"Especially that Geng Yifei, who is really bad. It looks like that, but there is actually a lot of bad water hidden in it."

This Geng Yifei is the eldest disciple of the Taichu Sect. He also led his disciples to Yangzhou for the Treasure Appreciation Conference, and lived in the Meng Fan Building.

From Meng Fanxu's rambling words, it can be heard that he and Geng Yifei have not seen each other for more than ten years, and they have hated each other almost since the first time they met.

"Forget about the things he cheated on me before, but this time he actually wants to grab a girl from me, so can we, old man, bear it?"

The two now have a crush on a girl from the same family, and even scold each other when they meet.Mentioning this matter, Meng Fan even uttered his hometown dialect, his eyebrows were erected, and he was really angry.

However, neither Yue Xiao nor Zong Nian knew what to say to these sect grievances. They could only look at each other in blank dismay, or drink tea with their heads down. Lu Shao didn't care at all, and only paid attention to whether there were suspicious people around.

The atmosphere became a little cold for a moment.

But Meng Fan scolded himself, and drank a bowl of wine, but his mood improved again, and he dragged the three of them to chat about the delicacies of his hometown.

However, just when Zong Nian thought that today would pass without incident, something serious happened at night.

At that time, he had just finished taking a bath and was about to go to bed to rest, but Lu Shao, as always, put some alarm devices by the door, but suddenly heard a loud roar resounding through the entire inn.

"Geng Yifei, you fucking explain to me—"

The voice was a bit rough, and one could tell it was Meng Fan, but the tone was not at all like his usual understatement of cursing, but full of anger.

Zong Nian frowned. "What's going on here?"

"I don't know," Lu Shao shook his head. "Want to go out and have a look?"

That's what he said, but the noise from outside the door sounded like someone had already started fighting.The situation was a little serious, but Lu Shao still had the killer in mind, so he was a little cautious, and didn't really want to go out to join in the fun.

While the two were still hesitating, there was an eager knock on the door.

Lu Shao opened the door, only to see Yue Xiao was anxious, and said quickly: "It's not good, a disciple of Tianxiao Sect was killed."

Zong Nian, who was standing in the room, was shocked. Finally, is the chaos about to start?

The author has something to say:

Song Qing: It's so exciting to run after pretending to be aggressive!

Happy to hear!The author finally got the outline straight!

How about the zongzi in this chapter, isn’t it a rare attack? ?
