Chapter 973 The Third Assassination
After drinking a glass of wine, Li Hongmao directly pushed a large plate of fried snails in front of Tianya and said excitedly: "Try the taste, the snails are delicious, just suck them into the mouth. Although these snails are not big, they are all plump and juicy." , it is fragrant and smooth when eating, and I can drink half a jar of wine with a plate of snails."

Li Hongmao has always been so polite, which makes Tianya feel embarrassed.He just wanted to come here to earn 1000 taels of gold, even if Li Hongmao's attitude towards him was slightly worse.

Tian Ya is different from ordinary martial arts masters, his mentality is very good.Even if someone scolds him bloody, he won't get angry at all.Of course, this mentality is also learned from Zong Xin. After all, Zong Xin has been a monk and has a very thorough understanding of this dunya.

Of course, it's just scolding.If someone did something to him, Tian Ya would not let him off lightly, because Zong Xin did just that.

The two chatted and laughed while eating and drinking, and the buddy served a dish from time to time, because some dishes took time and were not ready so quickly.And Li Hongmao's old rule is to order these more troublesome dishes. Although it is a little troublesome, after Tian Ya ate it, he found that these dishes are definitely worth the wait.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Tian Ya and Li Hongmao have been eating for more than half an hour.Li Hongmao didn't have a big appetite, mostly drinking.Tianya was different, even eating and drinking, all the food and drink came, although Li Hongmao was a little surprised, but not surprised.

Li Hongmao is also a person with foresight. He knows that martial arts masters usually eat a lot and drink a lot.After drinking so much, there is no trace of drunkenness, and after eating so much, my stomach is not big at all.

The waiter suddenly appeared and brought a large pot of soup and vegetables in the middle of the table, and then politely said: "Boss Li, it is the same as what you usually order, this is the last dish 'Farewell My Concubine', Boss Li slowly Enjoy."

This time the waiter did not leave after serving the food, but stared straight at Li Hongmao.Li Hongmao threw out a small piece of silver, which seemed to be worth about two coins.

The clerk took the silver and said politely: "Boss Li is so polite, he should serve you. The little one is nearby, just say hello if you need anything."

Li Hongmao didn't say anything, he just waved his hand to signal that the guy could step back.These two coins are quite a lot, and the monthly wages of the guys are almost the same, so these guys are willing to serve the rich, and sometimes the tips are higher than the wages.

Of course, a person like Li Hongmao would not care about the little guys. He knew that these guys just wanted tips, and Li Hongmao was willing to give them.Giving a tip is not only an affirmation of his service attitude, but also an opportunity to show his generosity.

However, Li Hongmao, the God of Wealth, is rare. Most people don't give change at most, and treat the change as a tip.How much can some odds be?The folks with three or five literacy are not too disliked, but they prefer customers like Li Hongmao.

"Wait a minute~" Tian Ya immediately grabbed the buddy's shoulders. The buddy had just turned around, but he was caught back directly, and Tian Ya's strength was so strong that the buddy cried out in pain.

"Master, be gentle, yo yo yo~ be gentle. If you do something wrong, please feel free to scold me. If you are injured, the whole family will starve to death." The guy was also stunned, talking nonsense.He didn't know why this man was so strong, but it was normal to have a bodyguard beside Boss Li, so he could tell that Tian Ya was a martial arts practitioner, so he couldn't afford to provoke him.

Tianya slightly reduced his intensity, and then said: "Man, what kind of dish is this?"

"Farewell My Concubine~! The famous dish of this shop is stewed black chicken with ginseng in it. This is a great food. If I don't like the little ones, I'll make it for you immediately. Don't hit me. "

"Daozhang Wu Yazi, this is..." Li Hongmao didn't know what was going on, the food was good, how could the Taoist priest vent his anger on a fellow?Is it because you think you are jealous of tipping too much?

Tian Ya stretched out his hand to signal Li Hongmao to leave it alone, then turned to stare at the waiter and said, "Then you get a bowl to drink, if you dare to take a sip, the two liang of silver is yours."

Tian Ya took out two taels of silver from his pocket, and put it on the table.The guy's eyes were straightened when he saw the silver, and his saliva almost fell out.He really doesn't know what's going on with these rich people, please drink soup and return two taels of silver...

"Master... what do you mean?"

"I'll give you two taels for a bowl of soup. Do you want to drink it? If you don't drink it, I'll beat you to death." Tian Ya acted very aggressively, and everyone around turned their heads to look over.

At this time, Li Hongmao also vaguely sensed Tianya's intentions. Could it be that this soup is poisonous?Impossible, I ate so much just now that there is no poison, if I want to poison, why put it on the last dish?Could it be that he wants to be a full ghost?

The guy smiled awkwardly: "I drink, I drink."

The man couldn't wait to rush up to pick up the bowl and spoon, filled himself with a bowl of soup, and then poured it directly into his stomach, no matter how hot the soup was, he was really afraid that the Taoist next to him would regret it, after all, it was two taels of silver Ah, the money is out of the question if he regrets it.

After drinking a bowl of soup, the waiter picked up the two taels of silver on the table, and then happily said: "Young master, I have finished a bowl of soup. If you are not satisfied with your cheap mouth, I will immediately tell the kitchen to give you another one." I will cook a pot, if I don’t want to wait, I will send you home..."

"You kid, you really dare to drink it~ It looks like you weren't the one who poisoned me." Tianya turned around and punched the guy in the stomach. The punch was just right, and the guy vomited out all the soup he just drank. , the whole table was filled with the soup that the waiter spit out and the food for lunch.

Even so, it was impossible for the buddy to spit out all the soup in his stomach, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable. In an instant, the buddy's face turned black, and he suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground, twitching, foaming from his mouth while twitching.

Tian Ya stepped on the buddy's chest and used his true energy to heal the poison.Basically he vomited it out, so the buddy was not deeply poisoned, and the poison should have been delayed for a while, but Tian Ya's punch was too accurate, which directly induced the onset of the poison.

Tian Ya was wearing a poison-avoiding bead, and he first channeled some zhenqi into the poison-avoiding bead, and when the poison-avoiding bead returned the real qi, Tian Ya directly absorbed the real qi with his Huaji hand, and then slowly channeled it into his feet. gradually improved.

Tianya said: "Boss Li, that's it for today. I encountered three assassinations when I went out to have a meal, and it is probably difficult to find someone this time. The other party is a master of poison. Generally, such people are very wretched and want to It's not easy to find him. It's probably impossible for the cook to stay in front of the soup pot all the time when the soup is simmering. There are many opportunities for poisoning. As long as it's not this guy who often appears next to you, there's no danger."

Li Hongmao said dejectedly: "I don't even have to worry about eating... Thanks to the Taoist chief's astuteness, but since this guy didn't poison him, how did you find out that this pot of soup is not right?"

"I smell it."

"Smell it?" Li Hongmao looked at Tianya in surprise. He could actually smell poison?What a talent. 1000 taels for half a year is too cheap. Should I give him a little more salary?

Tian Ya said: "It's like this, my family teacher is excellent in martial arts, but my teacher's wife is a master at using poison, that's why I raised this swamp water beast. Teacher Du also taught the poor how to use poison, and he was with him all day long. Poisons stay together. I have basically eaten the poisons from my teacher’s wife, and I am very familiar with the taste. To ordinary people, it may be colorless and tasteless, but how can there be anything in the world that is truly colorless and tasteless? Even white water has it The smell is just that most people can't smell it."

"Oh~? White water also has a smell, what is that smell?"

"It's the smell of white water."

Li Hongmao suddenly felt that he had asked a stupid question, but after thinking about it carefully, water does have a taste, but the taste is very weak.

Li Hongmao sighed and said, "I disappointed Taoist Priest Wu Yazi. I just wanted to have a good meal, but unexpectedly...Yang Ying invited so many killers. The Taoist priest is right, it's better to go back." .”

"Hmm~"

The two got up immediately, Li Hongmao put a few taels of silver on the table and left Huiyuan Hexian.I was really aggrieved, after leaving home, how far was the distance to Huiyuan Hexian?There were actually three assassinations along the way, two of which Daoist Wu Yazi was able to kill the killer directly, this time Daoist Wu Yazi couldn't do anything about it.

On the way back to Prince Chu's mansion, Li Hongmao suddenly asked: "Master Daoist, I heard that monks can count if they reach a certain level of cultivation. How about you do the math, how many killers did Yang Ying hire? Does he have to kill me?"

Tianya said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as you have Pindao by your side, I guarantee that no one can hurt you. But...as a guard, Pindao also thinks that it is not enough to protect the safety of the client. Pindao thinks that it should be eliminated. All the potential safety hazards of the client are, and the responsibility of the guards is to allow the client to travel safely even without guards."

"Daozhang, you... what do you mean?"

Tianya said: "My lord clearly knows that Zhennan Wang Yangying is here, so why doesn't he dare to go out when he stays in the mansion. From what the poor Taoist sees, wouldn't it be better to send people to attack Zhennan Wang Yangying directly, and fight to the death? The worst is to lose After that, I fled back to the Jinling Palace, so why should I suffer this fuss here?"

"The Daoist doesn't know that Zhennan King Yang Ying is not a small character, and this matter is not Yang Ying's first to tear his face, but my father's plan. It was the father who sent killers to assassinate Zhennan first. Wang, the King of Zhennan also knows that my father did it, but what can he do? Isn’t he aggrieved and nestled at home?” Li Hongmao said: “Originally, my father sent many killers, but they were all killed by Yang Ying and him. My father is still persevering and keeps sending assassins to Yang Ying. Sooner or later, he will succeed. It is a pity that people are not as good as God. Now that the Great Zhou is sending troops to attack, father naturally does not want to force Yang Ying to die. It's too urgent. If Yang Ying rebels at this time, then the Southern Tang Dynasty will be in a dilemma. This king wants to attack the Zhennan Palace, but Yang Ying's military and martial arts are superior to this king. If this king loses... the consequences It’s unimaginable.”

Tian Ya actually thought of this too, but he is the Third Highness of the Great Zhou, and it would be a good thing for him if there was civil strife in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

It's just that Tianya didn't expect that this idiot Li Hongmao could be quite tolerant. Although he was a idiot, he was not a fool.This really made Tianya's eyes light up. Li Hongmao still had some attainments in grasping the overall situation.
