Chapter 280 The Street Scene That Seems to End

The stars were few and far between, and before the dawn, the city of Hangzhou gradually became quiet.

The aftermath of the turmoil caused by Qi Yuankang's rebellion has not dissipated at this time, but the movements caused by the fleeing party members and stubborn resisters have also been suppressed within a very small range.The lights in the city were extinguished to the dimmest level, but occasionally soldiers walked through the streets, and a very small number of people who hadn't returned home hurried back.Although the incident was a bit serious, martial law had not yet begun in the city at this time. In some places, soldiers would conduct a search, but it was not to the point where no one dared to go out.

At Four Seasons Zhai, the banquet had already dissipated, and Wenren Buer, who was the shopkeeper, was directing the few servants who stayed behind to sort out the things in the store.Perhaps what everyone is talking about tonight is not the literary meeting held by Zhu Yanlin, but the later battle between Ning Yi, Liu Jin and Li Tianyou.When the woman holding the box went upstairs, Li Tianyou waved his hand to call the soldiers who followed him to leave. This scene brought a lot of doubts to everyone, but when the woman also left holding the box The literary meeting in the building has come to an end.

The doctor who came later began to treat Liu Jin, and also bandaged Ning Yi at the same time.When several figures belonging to the Badao Camp came in to clean up the mess, everyone bid farewell to Zhu Yanlin. Since there were not many people who had dealt with the Badao Camp in Hangzhou City, everyone was a little bit different from the group of people who came in. For those who are unfamiliar, at most they know that Badaoying operates a timber business, but at this time, they can't make friends.If you want to speculate, it is nothing more than the fact that someone from the Badao camp came, and Li Tianyou suffered from being dumb again. Knowing that it would be useless to pester him, he had no choice but to retreat alone.

If it is a deeper relationship and a higher status in the Fangla military system.Something else comes to mind.For example, who was the woman who came and left after only showing one side? For example, Zhu Yanlin, who went downstairs earlier, had an idea at the beginning that this woman who came suddenly was probably the rumored Liu Dabiao himself. For one thing, he really couldn't be sure in his heart.Coincidentally, even Wen Renbuer, who was on the sidelines, once thought about this possibility.After that, in a short period of time, he even received a lot of news from the city.

The news of the rebellion that came suddenly before, with loud thunder and little rain, can only be said that regardless of whether Qi Yuankang, the political adviser, is really rebelling or not, this time it was the higher-ups who first made a plan to deal with him, and Qi Yuankang was forced to make a plan later. The last defiance.But then it was Liu Dabiao's Badao Battalion who decided all of this. Although the Badao Battalion had only 800 soldiers, it was one of Fang La's backbone forces. It was just that Badao Battalion had always kept a low profile, wasn't it? Belonging to a part of the center, it is also difficult to estimate the weight of this army.It is conceivable that the plan to deal with Qi Yuankang was opposed by Badaoying at the beginning, but in the end, Liu Dabiao had no choice but to agree to it. She first sent someone to send a poem to the block where Qi Yuankang was located. The poem, which exactly matched the one written by the woman who went upstairs later, is called "Swordsman":
"The situation in the world is beyond my generation, and as soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, the years will remind you.

Hongtu Baye chatting and laughing, can't bear the drunkenness of life.

Raising a sword and riding a straddle, wielding the rain of ghosts, the bones are as frightened as a mountain bird.

The world is like tide and people are like water, how many people in the rivers and lakes come back empty-handed. "

Among the few information about Badaoying that Wen Renbuer had before, this woman named Liu Dabiao did not have such a literary talent. I don’t know who made this poem. Qi Yuankang’s deeds Made the tone and exclamation.Then, Liu Dabiao led the most elite force of the Badao Battalion to fight in. After a fierce battle, he personally beheaded Qi Yuankang.Everything after that is just the aftermath that is still continuing.

And Xuanwei Camp, who was a part of this matter, obviously got the news after Qi Yuankang's death.Under Four Seasons Zhai, the surrounding soldiers would not have allowed the woman to go upstairs, but obviously, after the woman wrote this poem, a staff member of the Xuanwei Camp realized something was wrong, and hurried up to inform Li Tianyou , Li Tianyou left angrily because of this.This is a fact that Wenren Buer can grasp now. During this period, the identity of the woman has become one of the most concerned doubts tonight.

However, Wenren Buer was not thinking about it at this time.It doesn't make much sense to think about whether the woman is Liu Dabiao or someone else.At this time, he was standing in the damaged box, carefully checking everything around him.

In the eyes of Zhu Yanlin who was watching, or the forty or fifty literati and prostitutes, this matter did not have much meaning or doubts, but for many people present who knew martial arts, it was almost an unsolved mystery.

After Tang Kou was killed, everyone in the Xuanwei camp and Wenren Buer, who was on the sidelines, immediately searched for all the suspicious figures in the private room and even the surrounding area.Everyone is sure that Ning Yi can't kill the man named Tang Kou. In terms of his style, the biggest possibility is that he set up an ambush or arranged a helper in this dark small box, but Although everyone in Xuanwei camp responded quickly, they did not find any suspicious traces.

Wenren Buer leaned over there at that time, and that was actually his idea. He wanted to enter the small room and kill Tang Kou before everyone could react.But then things happened so fast that he was too late.To take a step back, even if he thought of a way to get in at that time, he was able to cut off Tang Kou's head with a single knife, but he absolutely couldn't escape from this room in such a short time.

So, the third person in this room at that time, if there is a possibility... who is he?

******************
The night wind blows, carrying the coolness of late autumn.Ning Yi walked on the street, evaluating everything that happened before, so that his head could wake up a little bit.

To him, the battle tonight was really a desperate fight without any certainty. As long as he made a wrong step, he might lose his life.He has this kind of mental preparation, but after finishing it, he will still feel the great fatigue of the rest of his life after the catastrophe. Everything before is really like a dream. If he is asked to do it again, I really don’t know what it will become Looks—although he thinks so every time.

After the fight, several people from Badaozhuang also came. These people were not of high status, and Ning Yi only knew one of them, a carpenter.The injuries I suffered were not very serious, but Liu Jin's condition was really bad. At the moment, I could only ask the doctor to treat him at a nearby medical clinic, and I was going to walk home after confirming that Liu Jin's life was not in danger. The people from Badaozhuang also followed all the way, so as to protect his safety at such a time.

In all fairness, Ning Yi was a little surprised by the appearance of these people.Seeing Li Tianyou's straightforward manner of leaving, he also had some doubts at this time. The woman who only showed one face was Liu Dabiao himself who was not wearing a veil but also dressed in a Han suit.But if it was really Liu Dabiao, then even if it wasn't the personal guards of the Badao Camp who followed her to deal with the aftermath, he should be one of the eight people who "killed people to pay for their lives and pay their debts". On the way, he also asked asked.However, the two people who followed didn't know each other's identity, they only knew that someone was looking for them with a token, and they were nearby just now, so they hurried over.

"However, that woman is really beautiful. If we say that she is the owner himself, we will believe it."

"The back looks really similar..."

"If the landlord hears us talking about her like this, he will be put in small shoes..."

"I think it should be someone close to the owner. Mr. Ning has never seen it before?"

The two chatted beside each other, Liu Dabiao was quite majestic in the hearts of the people in the village, but he kept his distance on weekdays, and there were not many people who could see the masked owner of the village, let alone the unmasked ones.Just as he was talking, a figure appeared on the road ahead. The two of them immediately shut up when they saw it.

At this time, it is still a little far away from Xiliu Street, where Badaozhuang is now located. This street is quiet, and all the shops, big and small, have closed their doors, but on the street not far away, there is a shop whose lights are still on. It is a small restaurant that sells braised vegetables such as pig's skin, and there is a shed outside the door. At this time, at a dining table under the wooden shed, the woman who appeared before was sitting with her back facing her. It seems that they are eating, and the long wooden box used to store domineering is placed on the side of the dining table.

"You... go back first." Ning Yi said softly to the two people around him.

"But, if we leave, you will be alone..."

"That girl alone can scare Li Tianyou away. If she is here, I should be fine... Besides, if she is really the owner of your estate, it will be fine for you to go up and meet like this. If you get the top spot in the future, you can't blame me .”

Saying this, the two of them thought for a while, then nodded, and walked around the street, only sneaking a glance or two at the woman's face as they walked past.Ning Yi passed by from behind, and he temporarily felt in his heart that the woman in front of him might not be Liu Dabiao, but the figure does look somewhat similar, but the temperament at the moment is different.

"Da Biao?"

As he said this, he sat down on the seat next to him. The woman was eating, and she glanced at him, her expression was neither repulsive nor particularly friendly.She is beautiful, she seems to have the temperament of a wealthy family, her face even has a little baby fat, but her skin does not look rosy, on the contrary, she looks quite tired after a day of hard work, she swallowed the food in her mouth, just listened She said, "Is the injury okay?"

"It's not very serious, thank you." The bandage on his head made Ning Yi look like an Arab with a crooked hat at this time, but compared to Liu Jin, he can run and jump after all, and his body is covered with leather. Trauma, and no signs of concussion, as a savage martial artist who claims to be a blood-handed human slaughterer, he doesn't have to take himself too seriously.

"If you're fine, go back quickly, it's not a peaceful night, you shouldn't stay here forever."

"It seems to be okay." The other party did not confirm the identity, Ning Yi could only look at the wooden box, it was indeed the box used to store Liu Dabiao Ba Dao, but in Ba Daozhuang, there are more than one such box anyway. Just, looking at the woman's fair complexion, he asked tentatively, "Are you injured?"

The woman glanced at him, and then said: "Then let's have dinner together."

There were only a few stewed vegetables on the table, but Ning Yi was hungry anyway, and was a little curious about this woman, so he went to the shop owner to get the bowls and chopsticks, filled a bowl of rice and started to eat.The two of them didn't speak for a while, they just ate a few mouthfuls, and a carriage drove up not far away, and not long after, someone who came confirmed the suspicion in his heart.

There were eight or nine attendants accompanying him. The one who got off the car at this time was Lou Jingzhi who had met once in the Four Seasons Zhai. He got out of the car and saw the girl under the shed, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Yishi frowned again, and then walked over.

"Liu...Da Biao. And this is Mr. Ning...can I sit down?" At first he seemed to be a little cautious about the name, but in the end he called Liu Dabiao, but it was purely perfunctory to Ning Yi .Ning Yi saw that the girl didn't have much intention to drive him away, so he stayed. At this time, he felt a little headache.

There is a marriage contract between Lou Jingzhi and Liu Dabiao...

It seems that the young couple is rushing to meet here, so it's a little unreasonable for me to step in like this.

He sighed in his heart, and was about to say goodbye, but after a while, what happened made him realize that everything was not as he thought.

"I remembered that there was something else to do, so let's go first."

Ning Yi is not a sloppy person, and he raised his fists as he spoke.Next to him, Liu Dabiao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lou Jing: "You'd better not sit down." Then he said to Ning Yi, "Sit down and leave after eating." Her voice to Ning Yi was much softer .

Even though he has experienced many things, Ning Yi still feels a little bored with the situation in front of him.On the opposite side, Lou Jingzhi glanced at him, then pulled away the bench beside him, sat down, and ignored Ning Yi.

"I...know what happened tonight, I just happened to pass by, and I know you're not in a good mood, so I came here to have a look..."

In the quiet night, the scholar's voice sounded quite gentle...

It was too late to get up, and finally it was not the ninth.
