Qi Yan used his fingers as swords. Although his movements were still a little hesitant, his moves were smooth and he could compete with Captain Zhao evenly with his weak body.
Colonel Zhao raised his eyebrows and sheathed his sword: "Okay, I haven't wasted all my efforts."
He casually pulled a sweat towel from the side, his movements were cool and unshakable, his face was rugged, and his stance was very heavy.
Qi Yan took back his hand, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
He raised his hand to catch the sweat towel thrown by the other party, but instead of wiping the sweat, he raised one corner of his lips and smiled.
"Not as good as Colonel Zhao Kong Wu."
Colonel Zhao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he laughed and cursed: "You kid."
He looked Qi Yan up and down and asked, "Just now I looked at you, how many steps did you take? Did your leg hurt the bone?"
Qi Yan gave him a look and said calmly: "It's just a little hurt."
Lieutenant Zhao raised his hand to give him a violent shock, but Qi Yan had no intention of avoiding it, which made his hand feel a little embarrassed.
"you……"
Captain Zhao opened his mouth and wanted to say a few words, but when he saw Qi Yan's deep and steady eyes, he couldn't say a word.
I said it, will Qi Yan just listen?
How is it possible?
Qi Yan's eyes curled up and he said proactively: "Don't worry, Captain, I have a miracle doctor at home. She can cure even the most difficult injuries."
"Although it is difficult to heal a broken bone, it is just a difficult word."
It's not like he can't move even if his muscles and bones are injured for a hundred days.
Captain Zhao was helpless. He understood what Qi Yan meant, but he was also really helpless about Qi Yan's personality.
Having nothing to say, he patted Qi Yan on the shoulder and said seriously: "There will be a special day in a few days. Please remember it and don't forget the preparations you should make."
Qi Yan nodded: "Yes."
…
Ling Yutong met Xiao Er a few blocks away from Mr. Buzi's house.
The other party wore a broken straw hat on his head, and his bunt was particularly neat. When he saw her, he didn't say anything, so he raised his eyebrows.
Ling Yutong took a look at the other person's expression and realized that the other person's mood at this moment... was probably not very high.
Maybe, it has something to do with the survey results?
Since returning from the city, Xiao Er has disappeared for a while. One day, she passed by the alley of An Ye. The waiter in the shop was also a stranger. She thought that Xiao Er might have gone to investigate, so she pushed back the temptation of An Ye.
Pushed.
Today, the other party took the initiative to come to her and she didn't test him. It was simply unreasonable.
"how?"
She followed the other person all the way to the teahouse and sat there, and was surprised why the other party didn't take her to the alley to talk.
Xiao Er pushed the tea towards her.
"This is not our area. There is a lot of people in the dark alleys. I don't want to have to be a hero to save the beauty when we are talking about business."
Ling Yutong raised his eyebrows.
The other party admitted that there were other secret organizations besides Dark Night in Beijing, but he didn’t know how many there were. Is he talking about the 6 Dark Night branch?
"I thought there was only one darknet in Beijing."
"How?"
Xiao Er pulled his lips and laughed, took a sip of tea casually, and wrinkled his face in pain.
The Zhou Dynasty was not as good as other capitals, and the people could not drink a bowl of good tea. Here, tea was a popular way among the people, but the tea cakes in the palace would be more precious.
"The Zhou Dynasty had a vast territory and rich resources, and the capital city was even more like a real dragon. How could we, a small team in the dark night, occupy the entire capital city's dark network?"
Ling Yutong said: "That must be the head of the little snake under the real dragon."
She answered it smoothly and Xiao Er was stunned and then started laughing.
"That's true."
There was no hesitation in speaking, and he was obviously very confident.
Ling Yutong's eyes flashed, it would be easy to handle.
The Dark Night Branch must also be entrenched in the capital. As long as the branch is not as good as the headquarters, she has some certainty about her plan.
After all, Lord Cangwu still owes her a request.
"This time I came to look for Miss Ling because I had some clues about what happened last time."
"Speaking."
"It's a coincidence."
Xiao Er's face darkened a lot. According to his story, the reason why the large carriage with packhorses they were waiting for arrived late that day and caused them to miss the night ban was because a bloody massacre occurred on the road the carriage must pass.
Both sides of the fight looked like desperadoes, guarding and protecting on one side. The ones huddled on the ground and kneeling in a ball were a family of young and old whose faces could not be seen clearly.
The driver of the carriage was just an ordinary coachman. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to go forward, so he had to take a detour. This detour would make him arrive late.
Unfortunately, the groom was so frightened that he had to replace him, but the man who replaced him thought it was no big deal and said nothing.
In addition, no matter how anxious they were at that time, they were used to not showing their emotions on their faces. The people who came to deliver the carriage felt that nothing happened, so they left with great concern.
"So, I turned a few corners during the investigation, and it took me some time to find out."
Ling Yutong was silent.
She didn't think this was a coincidence.
Whether it was the groom who replaced him midway, or the people who were fighting on the road, or even the time when number three drove them to the cliff, she frowned, always feeling that someone... had insight into that road in advance at that time.
Fights may occur, and then number three is chosen to attack them at that time.
What's more, she felt that if there really was such a wise and demonic person, he might even have a clear understanding of the speed of the people arriving in the dark night, as well as the personalities of the first and second groomsmen.
Thinking like this, the warm autumn sun was shining on her body, and she shivered involuntarily, feeling very cold all over.
It shouldn't be... right?
But when she raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Er, she said:
"Coincidences can be made, right?"
Xiao Er pursed his lips tightly and remained silent without speaking.
Just when both of them were silent, the tea cup next door made a "bang" sound on the table. The next moment, a rough man beside the table slapped the table and stood up, extremely angry.
"You're a tea shop owner, but you charge me five copper coins for a bowl of hand-made tea. You see that I'm a foreigner, so you're deliberately defrauding me, right?"
"This...the tea you just ordered is the simplest hand-made tea, but the tea leaves are not simple. The entrance is slightly astringent and the aftertaste is sweet. Such a handful of broken tea can be brewed..." Three or five times.
The waiter in the store was anxious to explain.
But the rough man refused to listen to nonsense and raised his hand to overturn the table.
Ling Yutong heard the sound and looked over.
Xiao Er also watched the excitement.
In the end, the table was not lifted. It was not because the rugged man did not want to lift it, but because the bottom of the table was connected to the ground and he could not lift it.
The boss appeared at this time. He didn't have any anger on his face. The first thing he said when he came was: "This guest is from out of town. Would you like to have tea with me for the first time? You don't have to pay the copper coins. I
please."
The rugged man's anger was stuck in his heart and he froze.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the boss carefully taught the rough man and all the tea drinkers a lesson. He gave a thorough explanation of the tea used in the bowl. He also made another cup for the man on the spot and said how many more times this tea could be brewed.
Answer, whether you want to drink here or take away the broken tea, he supports it.
"interesting."
Xiao Er sighed.
"However, it is true that many outsiders have come to the city recently."
Ling Yutong raised his eyes: "Oh?"
She just had a casual glance and was not interested in the rugged man, but the flash of look in the man's eyes made her feel something strange. She guessed...
But now Xiao Er said that many outsiders had come to the capital, and her thoughts deepened.
"Yes, but this boss is really good at being a good person. He charges a few copper coins less in exchange for a good reputation and a good impression of the shop owner being kind. That's great."
Ling Yutong chuckled and drank all the tea in the bowl.
"The boss is tall, but I think that man is the one with the best moves. Why don't we make a bet and see which one of them will be more famous tomorrow?"
Xiao Er looked at her with an expression that said, "It's so obvious that I still need to gamble." He narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"This is Miss Ling who came to my door asking me to beg for something. Just ask, what's the bet?"
Ling Yutong smiled: "The bet is set... let's have a cup of tea."
"Whether it's expensive or hard to find, the loser has to go over mountains and ridges to find it for the winner. How about it?"
Xiao Er raised his eyebrows and shook his head helplessly, obviously thinking...the last sentence was a joke.
He responded cheerfully: "Okay, it would be nice if you could ask Miss Ling to buy me another bowl of tea."
The smile on Ling Yutong's lips remained unchanged.
Come on, Mr. Bu Zi is also worried about the new factor, the errand boy is right in front of you~
