Chapter 315: Soldiers are in danger
Fu Jingtao couldn't see much at a glance, so he didn't stop and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened. He bought a jar of wine from a small wine shop on the street, opened the yellow mud seal, drank it, and then poured it on his face. , drenched with wine, then turned around and walked back to Deyi Building while holding the wine jar in his arms, pretending to be drunk.
The waiter waiting at the door of the restaurant quickly stopped him and said, "Sir, have you gone to the wrong place? This is the Deyi Building, not the Tile Goulan."
Fu Jingtao burped, pointed at the tip of the waiter's nose and said, "Master Hu, Mr. Liu and the others have invited me to drink here. Why are you stopping me? Get out of the way, don't delay my fun!"
The waiter frowned and pushed him away with both hands: "Sir, you must be drunk. There is no Mr. Hu here to entertain guests tonight."
Fu Jingtao pretended to stumble, and the wine jar in his arms crashed to the ground. He was so angry that he grabbed the clerk's shirt with his hands: "Who asked you to push me? I dropped a jar of good wine. Quickly, let the shopkeeper Pay fifty taels of silver as compensation, or I will burn down your restaurant!"
"Hey, you kid is so full that you want to extort money? I'll skin you!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I won't let go until I see the money!"
The guy was so angry that his nostrils were smoking. You came to the door with a jar of bad wine and actually wanted to extort fifty taels of silver?! While struggling hard, he shouted: "Brothers, if there is a rogue who is short-sighted and makes trouble for no reason, beat him up." !”
Hearing the sound, five or six waiters rushed out of the restaurant. They rolled up their sleeves, raised their stools, and rushed towards me, shouting.
Fu Jingtao just thought that the incident was not big enough, so he laughed and said: "How dare you fight with me, who is afraid of who?" He threw it away, and the guy fell out like a sack, bang bang, plop, oops. , and immediately knocked over three companions. The other companions felt their vision blurred, and they were punched in the lower abdomen. They were so painful that they shed tears and collapsed on the ground like cooked prawns.
When the shopkeeper of Deyilou saw that something was wrong, he jumped up and yelled, calling for the kitchen to support him. Hearing the sound of footsteps, more than 20 people rushed out in a swarm holding kitchen knives, spatulas, wooden sticks, and scale scrapers. Several people had them in their hands. He also held eggs and duck eggs, and without saying a word, he raised his hand and smashed them.
Fu Jingtao was startled and hid behind the door.
Bang bang bang! The eggshell shattered, and the egg yolk and egg white stuck to the door panel. It was sticky and disgusting.
"Stop, what are you doing?!"
With a loud shout, a muscular man came down the stairs. He frowned, his face was as solid as iron, and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Wang, how can you behave so noisily and fight? Don't you know General Liu?" Are you receiving distinguished guests?"
Shopkeeper Wang apologized and said with a smile: "Xu Dutou, we didn't cause trouble on purpose, it was the drunk who pretended to be crazy under the influence of wine and wanted to extort my money." He pointed at Fu Jingtao and gritted his teeth with anger.
The man turned to look at Fu Jingtao, a gleam of vigilance flashed in his cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Young man, keep your eyes open and take a look, Deyi Building is not a place for you to run wild. You have to leave within five breaths. Go, or your head will fall to the ground!"
Fu Jingtao crossed his arms and crossed his chest, saying disdainfully: "Who are you trying to scare? Even relatives of the emperor don't dare to kill people randomly on the street, right? If you have the ability, give it a try!"
The man bared his teeth and challenged him to a duel? Are you kidding me? He said grimly: "Good boy, if you have the guts, tell me your name and see if my handsome manor can take care of you!"
"Shuai Mansion?" Fu Jingtao shrank his neck, showing a look of panic, turned around and ran away.
Everyone in the restaurant pointed at his back and laughed loudly, spitting to show their contempt. The man shook his head, told the shopkeeper a few words, and went upstairs without mentioning it.
Fu Jingtao stopped as soon as he turned the corner. Judging from the few words he just said, 99% of the people who secretly met with the Shu people were Liu Qingyi's trusted generals. Apart from this, there is no more reasonable explanation. Liu Qingyi colluded with the Shu people, causing harm to the country.
It was undoubtedly the interests of the Song Dynasty. As for the content of the discussion between them, the Deyi Building was tightly guarded and it was impossible to sneak in and eavesdrop. In short, the two parties had nothing more than to make a secret alliance and dream of carving up the territory of the Song Dynasty.
With Liu Qingyi's promise from the Kingdom of Shu, his ambitions are swollen and he is emboldened. He might raise his flag and start an uprising in the next two days, causing a bloody disaster!
It was a long way from Xingyuan Prefecture to Tokyo, and it would take at least five or six days to deliver the news quickly. By the time Zhao Kuangyin mobilized his army and set off, the day lilies were already cold.
Fu Jingtao recalled the details of when the secret envoy from the Shu Kingdom went out. None of the escorts were Shushan disciples, which showed that the Shushan Sword Sect was not involved in the matter. The appearance of Zhou Chengzong may be a coincidence, and even the Shu Kingdom envoys may not know about him.
The presence.
So what is the hidden meaning of Ji Fenglei's arrangement for Zhou Chengzong to return to Tokyo in disguise?
Fu Jingtao was puzzled. He glanced around and saw that the houses and pavilions around him were stacked on top of each other, and the rows of lights stretched like the Milky Way. Floats shuttled on the streets, and there was an endless flow of people. Shops big and small were as bright as day, and the sound of silk and bamboo was lingering.
The scene is prosperous and peaceful. If war comes, the city will become in dire straits, and the prosperity of the past will disappear like a fleeting cloud.
At this time, only the troops were in danger, which made Liu Qingyi wary and postponed his plan of rebellion, giving the Zhao and Song court time to respond.
Fu Jingtao walked around the city, bought ten armor-piercing arrows from the black market at a high price, and hurried back to the vicinity of Deyi Building. Taking advantage of others, he secretly flew up to the roof diagonally across the street, and lowered himself as if
Lying motionless on the tile surface like a gecko.
In the private room on the second floor of Deyi Building, people could not help but move, people were drinking and drinking, and the guests and hosts were chatting happily.
As time goes by, the night gets darker, the pedestrians gradually become sparse, the shops close one after another, and the noisy streets become deserted.
The banquet finally ended, and both parties got up and went downstairs.
Fu Jingtao perked up, silently circulated his Qi, moved his fingers and muscles, and carefully lined up the armor-piercing arrows in front of him.
After a while, I saw more than ten people guarding the light carriage, going out to the right. There was also a group of burly men on horseback, going out to the left, running in the opposite direction, and the sound of iron hoofs hitting the bluestone pavement was particularly clear.
The carriage was moving at a slow speed, and the wheels made a rattling noise as they ran over the road. The window was slightly opened halfway, and a cool breeze blew through, and a person could be faintly seen leaning in the carriage.
Fu Jingtao straightened up, half-knelt on the roof tiles, held the iron bow in his left hand and pushed it straight, calmly estimated the height and position of the target in the carriage, waved his right hand rapidly, took out arrows and shot them!
The strength of the Sky-Splitting Bow was so powerful that the sound of the bow strings clanging and bouncing was heard, and a few gleams of cold light flew close to the car, like lightning that could not cover the ears.
The masters guarding this side roared in unison, waving their weapons, or directly blocking with their palms, desperately trying to intercept the sudden arrow rain attack.
But Fu Jingtao's arrow shooting speed was so fast! The first wave of sharp arrows lured the guards to get out of the way, and the second wave of sharp arrows shot like lightning, piercing the car's baffle and submerging themselves. The next moment, blood spattered.
Chapter completed!
