Crown Sword

The restaurant opened its doors to welcome customers and extended in all directions. It was an excellent place to inquire about people and things, but Lin Yuanzhi couldn't afford food, let alone the unnecessary expenses, so he could only apply for a job to wash dishes and do chores.

It just so happened that this Qingboxuan was having a banquet, and there were so many customers that the banquet was in a hurry, and the staff was not busy enough to come, so the shopkeeper ordered it for him.

As night fell, the music and music continued, and the food and wine continued. Lin Yuanzhi stuffed the steamed buns with dry mouth in a hurry, and then pushed them out to serve.

The piece of dry steamed bun stuck in his throat, making his face turn purple, all thanks to the knee of the handyman who was traveling with him, and let him release the breath he was holding.

Lin Yuanzhi thought so: This Chang'an city is not ordinary, even the waiter who serves food can be two-handed.

"Are you here to look for someone?" asked the companion who stood shoulder to shoulder, "I heard from Agua who lived in the same room as you, that you came to Chang'an to visit relatives, distant relatives or close relatives?"

Lin Yuanzhi shook his head: "From the same village."

The man obviously understood, and didn't like it: "Hey, brother, it's not that I talk too much, relatives have to look at their faces, you are really developed, who can take a fancy to you? You don't know the worldly ways in Chang'an city, so you can pay money. After the people from my family are in town, there is no one in Jiufang who does not look at Qian!"

Lin Yuanzhi didn't believe it: "There are always people who are not kitsch! What's more, that's my best friend, the best!" When I was young, I played in mud, climbed trees and picked out bird eggs, and even a good buddy from a poor family who wore a pair of pants, how could he fall? In Qianqian's eyes, besides, he didn't come here to fight the autumn wind, but he just wanted to ask someone to find a way to find a family to do long-term work in this huge city and settle down.

The man didn't argue, he has such a stunned young man every year, he doesn't need to talk too much, he knows when he hits a wall, so he changed his words: "Do you have a clue?"

Lin Yuanzhi thought for a while, and said, "My surname is Lin, just like me, from the Lin Family Village. We have a small agreement, whoever is successful, must not forget the other party, like this," he curled his little finger, smiled plainly, "Those who have sworn like this can't be changed. Whoever changes it will be blamed. Be a good person!"

The companion beside him was stunned: "It's so easy in the vast sea of ​​people!"

"If you often talk about a person, you will definitely see him..." Lin Yuanzhi giggled, and then turned around the corridor connecting the backyard kitchen and Xuange companion building.

At this time, a small insect with flapping wings flew to his neck, Lin Yuanzhi couldn't move his hands, so he could only shake his neck.Just turning his face away, he suddenly saw a figure fall over the back wall, landing in a very familiar posture, very much like the favorite movement of the guy who climbed over the fence and stole dates in the past.

"Chutong! Lin Chutong!"

Lin Yuanzhi hurriedly chased after the shadow, but no matter how he called, the other party ignored him, instead, he moved faster and faster, and the distance became farther and farther——

Did he do it on purpose?

Lin Yuanzhi firmly believed that he must have heard his cry, but he couldn't help guessing that the silk and bamboo wind music was too noisy.

Yes, it must be like this, not on purpose, not on purpose!

"Lin Chutong!"

Lin Yuanzhi's shout caused commotion, and the guests who were leaning on the railing to listen to the music and chatting looked over. His hand holding the plate was shaking. Seeing that he took a shortcut and was about to catch up, he turned his head and bumped into a senior official. , spilled soup stained sleeves.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's this brat who doesn't have eyesight and bumped into you, your lord has a lot..." The companion at the side was dumbfounded, and as soon as Lin Yuanzhi rushed out, he immediately reported to the manager of the back kitchen , people rushed up, and hurriedly came forward to make an apology.Those who come here are either rich or expensive, and they don't care about a set of clothes, but they are a bit unhappy to be looked down upon.

The nobleman cursed a few words, the steward nodded and bowed in front of the leader, and took most of the anger, thinking that the kid in the back didn't even fart, and felt angry, so he stretched out his hand to grab his collar to admit his mistake.

After this slap, not only was it in vain, but it was discovered that Lin Yuanzhi wanted to continue chasing and shouting. The steward immediately became furious, and kicked him on the stomach in front of the distinguished guest: "Damn boy, all the broken dishes and dishes are gone!" Take it from your salary!"

Lin Yuanzhi slumped to the ground, and finally stopped: "Shut it up!"

"Oh, I'm wronged? I think you're itchy!" Nodding and admitting his mistake, it's over, but this guy is still stubborn, in front of everyone, the manager can't get down, and even the guest is ashen-faced. You have to bully others like him, "If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm afraid you don't know what to do..."

He started to roll up his sleeves, looking like he was going to punch.

The guy in the same company rushed out to make rounds, stuffed his own dish straight into Lin Yuanzhi's hands, held his stomach and pretended to have diarrhea, and jumped up and down: "Oh, I found you, my stomach hurts, the latrine, I I have to go to the latrine, hurry up! The biggest room in the companion building has more food, hurry up and send it there, even if it’s cold!”

Accompanying the Lou Qushui Banquet, the host is the Qian family of the Chang'an government, the leader of the entire Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, although the behind-the-scenes owner of Qingboxuan is unknown, but [-]% of them are in his name, in case there is any delay , That is to pierce the sky!

The villain at the bottom was the best at winking, and the steward saw that the strong man didn't speak, so he also kept silent.

At the moment of silence, Lin Yuanzhi was squeezed out by his companions. At this moment, he felt regretful and fearful, and hurried away with his things in his hands when he got the steps.

The elegant house where the nobles come and go is not for a newcomer like him. He didn't know the way, he walked around twice before he touched the door. Just as he stepped in, he saw the wind. When the lights went out, only a little luminous pearl light remained on the first seat, and a shadow beside him stabbed the light with a knife, and said with a grinning smile——

"Dog thief, take your life!"

"who?"

Zhang Jia stood in front of him and took the fatal blow. Qian Yinzhou remained as still as a mountain. He pinched and squeezed the exposed orb in his hand. Based on his memory, he resolutely threw it in the direction of the bead presenter and Gong Yangyue. .Gong Yangyue flicked his sleeves to grab the unlucky ghost, and pushed him under the table.

The hidden assassins drew their swords one after another.

"The person who sent you to hell! I know what you Qian did 15 years ago!" The visitor fought with Zhang Jia and approached Qian Yinzhou.

The guards of the Qian family have been named Zhang for generations, and they are arranged in order of heavenly stems. The patriarch's side is named A, and brothers of the same clan can be named B and B.

These housekeepers are different from ordinary people. Some are retired elites, and some are gangsters who fled to the desert. They were rescued by the Qian family in the sandstorm and left contracts to work for their lives.

Zhang Jia of this generation used to be a villain. After being subdued, he sold his life with money as a promise. Anyone who has killed someone is by no means comparable to a paper tiger pretending to be an ordinary person. But it was slightly better to enter, and cut off the white feather hanging from the waist of the comer.

The feather slowly fell to Qian Yinzhou's feet. He leaned over and held it between his fingers, his eyes deep: "15 years ago, Yao Chang forced the palace, led troops to chase and kill Fu Jian, the city broke the sun, 'six stars' Zhong Yujiang Zong Pinglu set fire to Tianshu Palace, destroyed the top-secret documents accumulated by the "Mustard Dust Network" for many years, and then fell from the inner city gate..."

The other party obviously came prepared, the chain hooks rattled one after another, the inner and outer doors and windows were closed one by one, and the drinkers were chaotic, but they didn't dare to rush at will in the dark.

Qian Yinzhou smiled silently, not in a panic: "Do you close the door and beat the dog?"

The leader of the assassins bumped back: "Give it back to you, pay back your surname Qian's revenge for 'refusal to open the door'!" After finishing speaking, he stabbed forward with the sharp double-edged knife in his hand.

In the scuffle, Gong Yangyue raised his pearl to break through, and these people couldn't stop him. Besides, the assassin retreated intentionally or unintentionally, and his purpose was very clear.Then, their purpose is also very clear. Since they don't do their own business, they can just stay out of it.

Amidst the screams, Chao Chen tried his best to maintain his composure, and dragged the unlucky businessman out, "Get out of here first."

The brilliance of the beads hit the cold blade, Gong Yangyue was startled by the cold light, suddenly hesitated, took advantage of the opportunity to break through the door first, and then pushed the two people around him out, at the same time, pulling the mechanism on the top of the building, the dome unexpectedly It was opened under the drag of the winch, the fireball fell, and the mortise and tenon structure burned instantly.

This is to suffocate people inside.

The sea of ​​flames spread, as if the city had been destroyed.

Gong Yangyue recalled in a daze the night Chang Daguan's mother killed the wolf, Shuang Li cried holding Tuobaxiang after returning to the princess mansion. My parents have passed away, so I can find my relatives, and I can feel sorry, at least I won't be so lonely in the world.

His heart softened, and he turned back to rescue Qian Yinzhou who was trapped in the innermost part.

"Gongyangyue!" Chao Chen didn't hold him back, and the shout gradually faded from his throat to his mouth. He understood his thoughts, and understood that even if there was only one ten-thousandth chance that Shuangli and the Qian family were related by blood, Gongyang Yang Yue will also try her best, after all, he has always been a knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted.

Chao Chen took a deep breath and pushed the kidnapped businessman away. The unlucky ghost hadn't figured out the situation, and he muttered, "I didn't expect you two to be quite moral..."

Without waiting for him to continue, Chao Chen slapped the person out with a palm, and then he grabbed the knife, and instead of following Gong Yangyue's footsteps, he guarded the only exit and tried to send the innocent people stuck in the fire scene out .

"Help!"

The assassin's body fell, and just as he was dodging and retreating, he heard a faint cry from nearby. He turned his head and saw that a girl about the size of Shuang Li was trapped between the two fires on the second floor.

The flames illuminated her shoes, and Chao Chen recognized that it was the dancer Yan Zhuo from the Baixi troupe just now, because dripping water did not stick, he had bet with Gong Yangyue at that time, guessing that this girl was either good at light work, or she had done kung fu on the embroidered shoes .

The hanging beam was burned to the point of collapse, Chao Chen heard the sound, looked up, and suddenly shouted: "Quick, jump over, I'll grab you."

The girl was timid and hesitant.

"Quick, it's too late! Jump—"

Shocked by the voice, Shen Yuan hugged her head and screamed, and jumped forward. Chao Chen rushed to catch her, and rolled on the spot to avoid the falling object.

The person rushing to the door tripped over a broken tree in a panic, and then kicked him hard, kicking Hao towards Chao Chen's direction. Shen Yuan struggled and bumped into the fallen wood .

Gong Yangyue withdrew back, Chao Chen patted the dirt on his body and stood up, and while helping someone out, he asked, "How is it?"

"Give me a hand, that 'Fudo Zun' has already been sent away by that man named Zhang Jia, I said why is he so calm, dare to leave behind, the rescuers of Qian's mansion are likely to surround this place, the three caves of the cunning rabbit " Gongyangyue spread his hands, and took out a seal, which was thrown over by Zhang Jia under orders, so it was obvious that it was convenient for them to come in and out, "Do you remember the news we inquired about earlier? Back then when Qian's mansion was attacked by thieves, some people said that it happened in the middle of the night. , There were patrol soldiers besieging the mansion to suppress thieves, I am afraid that things are not as simple as you and I think, this kind of old fox will not stumble in a pit, how could he not learn from the past."

After listening to his analysis, Chao Chen's face was gloomy: "We have to get out of here quickly."

"who is she?"

Gong Yangyue paused, and turned her gaze to Chao Chen's side. Shen Yuan raised his head as if feeling something, and collided with his gaze. Instead of shrinking back in fear, he stared hard, trying to look at him. really.Gong Yangyue recognized that it was the girl who danced Yanzhuo in the troupe just now, and cast a reproachful look, but knowing that Chao Chen was kind, she didn't say much, and turned to the other side to help him hold her up.

wrong!

Recalling the girl's expression just now, Gong Yangyue felt something was wrong, touched her neck first and then cut the pulse, held her up for a moment, saw her eyes turned white, and there was blood oozing from her hair, she quickly grabbed her hand, carried the girl on her back Walk.
