Chapter 152 Helping the Old Man
Entering the inn, everyone sat down on four sides of an Eight Immortals table, with big eyes and small eyes, but they did not dare to eat. Tang Longyan was helpless. Only Zhao Zhiyan was a woman and could bring jewelry, but she didn't even have a jewelry at this moment. Otherwise, she would not have such an embarrassing scene if she took the jewelry to the pawn, but without silver jewelry, there would be no tools to detect whether the food was poisonous.
Among the five, the most uncomfortable thing was Zhao Zhiyan, who was sitting next to He Yan's heart and was already hungry. She was already hungry. She staggered when she entered the inn just now, but as soon as she sat down, she saw the table full of food, and the hunger was even stronger, but she saw that everyone did not move. She didn't know what was going on at the moment, but when she saw that He Yan's heart next to her did not move, she didn't move.
But she put up with it for a while and finally seemed to be unable to help it. Can't you eat chicken, duck and fish on the table? What's the reason! She immediately picked up her chopsticks, suddenly picked up a piece of braised pig's ear and sent it to her mouth.
While thinking, Tang Longyan suddenly felt a tremor in front of him. He looked up and found that Zhao Zhiyan was about to start eating the things on the table. He was immediately scared and immediately stretched out his hand to stop her.
At this time, a chopstick flew towards Zhao Zhiyan with a great force. The force and speed shocked everyone. All four of them were extraordinary in martial arts, but in a stunned way, no one could catch this chopstick. The chopsticks were mixed with the sound of breaking the sky and passed in front of Zhao Zhiyan. She hit the ground with a crack. In the middle of the chopsticks, she was still wearing a fat but not greasy, fresh and fragrant braised pig ear.
"Sister Zhiyan, are you all right? What's wrong with you?" He Yanxin, who was beside him, saw that Zhao Zhiyan's expression seemed to be still and there was no movement. He was shocked. He immediately turned around and picked up her hand and wanted to take her pulse.
"You... you bullied me... I'm so hungry. Why don't you let me eat some food? I just ate a piece of meat before you. Didn't I just taste which dish is better for you first? As for getting rid of the meat I'm about to eat, woo... I'm scared to death..." , he threw himself into He Yanxin's arms and cried.
Everyone was relieved. Tang Longyan turned around and saw a man dressed in white clothes and a black deer's head hanging on his shoulder. Among the people he saw, only one of them had such a strange costume.
"The poisonous boy Yuwen is safe!" Tang Longyan's face was solemn and he stared at the person in front of him.
Zhou Tianyi received his gift of antidote in the past, so he had a good impression on him. He immediately stood up and hugged his fist and said, "I thank Mr. Yuwen first for the medicine. If Mr. Yuwen hadn't arrived in time that day, I'm afraid that the bones under him now would have turned into mud." After saying that, he worshipped him deeply.
Yuwen Ping'an nodded slightly to Zhou Tianyi as a return gift. Then he turned his head and stared at Tang Longyan and said coldly, "Since you are their leader, have you checked whether these meals are poisonous first?" Do you know that your momentary mistake will cause everyone to accompany you to the funeral?
Tang Longyan was stunned at first, and then said with some embarrassment, "I have also thought of this. It's just that we were hungry for a while, and we felt that the pursuers had not arrived, so we were a little relieved. Besides, we didn't have silver jewelry in our hands, so..." He didn't understand that as an enemy, Yuwen Why did Ping An say so much to him, so he has been staring at Yuwen Ping'an with doubts.
"Do you think you are a four- or five-year-old child? Can all poisons make silverware black? Can't you think of another way!" Yuwen Ping's tone with a trace of disdain, his body flashed and said on the street outside the door. The fury dog that had been lying on the roadside with the five people's doubtful eyes caught in.
The second shop next to him was disgusted when he saw the dog covered with lewdness and immediately wanted to kick it out. But he looked at Yuwen Ping's indifferent eyes and immediately fled back in horror.
Yuwen Ping'an put the dog next to the braised pig's ear that had just been knocked down by him with his chopsticks. The naughty dog had not eaten for many days. When he saw the meat in front of him, he immediately rushed to the pig's ear and swallowed it, but the meat was just under his eyes, the dog Suddenly, he twitched all over, foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground.
Everyone looked at the scene in surprise, especially Zhao Zhiyan, who was hiding in He Yan's heart. When she saw the dog on the ground, she felt afraid for a while. She sweated coldly behind her. If the indifferent person in front of her had not shot down the meat in her mouth, she would have fallen to the ground like this dog at this moment. I can't afford it.
Tang Longyan looked at Yuwen Ping'an and sprinkled a nail powder on the naughty dog and pulled the dog back from the edge of death. Suddenly, he was shocked and said, "No, our horse!" With that, he wanted to walk outside.
"Don't look. Your horses have been poisoned." Yuwen Ping's tone was cold, but he said a fact that shocked everyone. He slowly walked to the naughty dog, who was no longer twitching, gently lifted him up and put him down outside the inn. He sighed, "In the past, the dog didn't bully me, but today I don't bully the dog. Take care of yourself."
He turned around and walked into the inn, took out a bag of things from his arms, and said to Tang Longyan, "In a while, people from the government will search here. I will clean up the horses and won't let the government notice that these five horses are official horses. There are a hundred taels of silver here. You take these people to an inn to have a good meal, then change a set of clothes and buy some good horses before making plans. After a pause, he said, "Since I have appeared in front of you, it means that your whereabouts are no longer safe, there must be assassins tonight. However, you don't have to be in a hurry. The road ahead has been ambushed. You might as well take a break in Luoyang City, wait for work, and make plans tomorrow morning. The government is here, and they dare not be too presumptuous.
Tang Longyan came forward to take over the money bag in Yuwen Ping'an's hand. Somehow, in the face of this poisonous boy who frightened the people of the five clans, there was not much doubt in his heart. Yuwen Ping'an always appeared in time when he needed it most to help him overcome difficulties again and again, but he was obviously his uncle Tang Lingtian. The adopted son is hostile to himself. Why do you help so many times? Seeing that Yuwen Ping'an turned around and was about to leave, Tang Longyan quickly asked, "Yuwen Ping'an, why... why did you help me?"
Yuwen Ping'an did not turn around, and his tone was as indifferent as before: "It's not that I want to save you, but that you are not your death now. If you die, you have to die in my hands. I want to prove with my strength that Tang Haotian's son is a bastard!"
Only then did Tang Longyan understand that Tang Lingtian had been killed by Tang Haotian. Whether in the army or emotionally, Tang Lingtian, who was also young and successful, had always been slightly inferior to Tang Haotian. At this moment, his father had died, and Tang Lingtian could not surpass his father again, so he would hope On the adopted son Yuwen Ping'an, I hope that Yuwen Ping'an can completely defeat himself.
Even so, Tang Longyan is still very grateful for Yuwen Ping's righteous help. He bowed deeply and said, "Brother Yuwen, no matter what your original intention is, based on the fact that you have saved my best friend many times, I owe you a big favor. If he meets your requirements, you can declare war on me. I, Tang Longyan, will definitely show all my strength and fight with you to the end!"
Yuwen Ping'an has flown out before Tang Longyan finished speaking. He doesn't know whether he has listened to Tang Longyan's words. Tang Longyan sighed and didn't know whether he cared or not. He turned to the other four people and said, "Big brother, third brother, fourth brother, sister Zhao, let's go quickly. We don't want to stay here for a long time. Let's go quickly. Now we have money on hand, so don't worry about nothing to eat."
Everyone immediately got up and walked out of the inn. A second shop behind them suddenly screamed, "How can there be five more horse corpses here!" It's over, the shopkeeper's, the stable is haunted..."
As soon as the five people walked out of the inn, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared on the streets of East Street, and then surrounded the whole inn. When Tang Longyan left, he could still hear the leading officer roaring there: "Which bastard newspaper officer said so specifically that someone stole five official horses, right here. Where's the person, why don't you bring it to me..."
Qin Leiming walked to Tang Longyan and whispered, "Second brother, do you think what Yuwen Ping said is just to scare us? That table of wine and dishes may not have been poisoned, but his chopsticks were poisoned, which poisoned the dog who ate that piece of meat?
Tang Longyan shook his head firmly and said, "I don't think if he wants to deceive us, he doesn't have to save the dog and give me so much silver. I don't think a person who despises any life will lie.
In order not to attract attention, Tang Longyan arranged the people in a remote inn. They did not order a table of wine and dishes, but simply ate steamed buns and steamed buns to relieve their fill.
After set up three rooms, Tang Longyan took Qin Leiming out to buy clothes and horses. Since the two have never been to Luoyang, even if there are old deep-fried dough sticks like Qin Leiming who often wander around in Chang'an City, it still took the boss's strength to buy five horses. When they led the horse back to the inn, they had already been on the moon and the lanterns were on.
The three rooms set by Tang Longyan are lined up. Tang Longyan and Qin Leiming live in the left room, Zhou Tianyi and He Yanxin live in the right room, and Zhao Zhiyan lives alone in the middle room. After Tang Longyan made a little arrangement outside the door, everyone entered the room to sleep in peace and waited for the assassin in Yuwen'an's mouth to attack.
At night, more than a dozen assassins in night clothes appeared on the roof of the inn as if they had discussed with Yuwen Ping'an in advance.
