"It's all just a false name. It's not worth mentioning. If you're as skilled as the Zhao brothers, that's what you're really capable of."
"Damn it! Third brother, you two should stop flattering each other. Should we discuss the business? If you keep boasting for a while, it will be dawn."
"Don't worry, brother, everything is planned beforehand. Mrs. Qi is right next door, can she still escape?"
"She has long legs! Why can't she run away?"
"Okay, okay, Taoist Priest, now that I have given you my trust, do you agree with my plan now?"
"Of course I agree. You guys have such martial arts skills. I even wish I could kill you next door right now."
"Don't say goodbye! This restaurant has a government background. It's not wise to cause trouble here."
"Pindao is just joking, Brother Zhao, please don't take it seriously."
"Then let's settle the matter?" He Siniang said: "The first step is to ambush around the restaurant, then snatch the Hongyu girl, and kill the old lady Qi along the way. The second step is to help the Zhao family fall. After the fight on Guitou Reef is over, I'll trouble you to recommend us to find the antidote for the iron wire bug."
Zhao Sanshui nodded: "He Siniang summarized it in detail, so I won't say anything else. I just hope that we can go along with the situation and work together on this trip. We Qinglong Bazi here swear by our ancestors that we will never do anything treacherous." If you make a mistake, you should treat it with chopsticks like this." As he spoke, he broke the chopsticks in front of him in two and threw them back on the table.
Zhao Laojin also followed Zhao Sanshui's example and swore an oath and broke his chopsticks. These chopsticks are not suitable for picking up and hanging now because in ancient times, people usually hold branches in their hands when making oaths, and break the branches after swearing. This means that if the oath is violated, they will be broken at the same waist as the branches. But there was no way to find branches in the private room, so I had no choice but to use chopsticks instead, which had the same effect. Anyway, it just made sense.
When the Taoist priest with a grimace saw the Zhao family suddenly swearing an oath, he couldn't help but look at He Siniang and Meng Qingyao. The look on his face seemed to say: Does this lama still have to swear an oath?
The grimace Taoist priest was not sure about the rules of Qinglong Bazi, but he had encountered lamas with Faqiu Tianguan before, and no one swore at that time. He thought there was no such thing in the mushroom gate. It seems that this should be the rule in Qinglong gate. So should you stand or not?
Zhao Sanshui saw the grim-faced Taoist priest's confused expression, so he said: "This is a rule established by the ancestors of our sect. It is for us to remember that righteousness comes first when walking in the world. Taoist priests must not worry too much."
"Ah...oh, it's okay. When it comes to morality and justice in the world, how can I lag behind? I will make the same oath here." After saying that, he stuck out his chopsticks and said an oath in front of the Zhao brothers. .
He Siniang and Meng Qingyao understood that the grimace Taoist priest was worried that the other party would become suspicious, so he hurriedly made the oath, and they had no reason to betray the Zhao family, so the two of them also followed suit, as a way to participate in this lama trip. Everyone took a reassurance.
After sorting out the plan and mood, the next step is the specific deployment of personnel.
Chunmanlou has two doors, front and rear. As long as it is during normal business hours, both doors will be open for guests. This is different from serious businesses that usually open their front doors for business. Chunlou is for people to come and have fun, and most of the guests have families. If there is a "special situation", such as a fierce wife at home coming to arrest someone, then there is only one way. The door is easily covered by dumplings, so Chunlou will leave a back door so that those guests can have a chance to escape.
Chunlou was designed this way with the customer first, but it added a lot of trouble to the grim-faced Taoist priests. In order to ensure that the whereabouts of Jinyuefu and Mojinmen could be thoroughly followed, everyone had to leave manpower at the front and back doors, and one or two people were assigned to patrol the east and west alleys to prevent the other party from escaping over the wall.
The task of guarding the two alleys was given to Meng Qingyao and Zhao Sihuo. The two of them had the best legs. If anything happened, they could report it to everyone as quickly as possible.
The main entrance is guarded by Taoist Ghostface, He Siniang and Zhao Sanshui, while the back entrance is guarded by Zhao Laojin, Zhao Ermu and Zhao Xiaotu. Everyone speculated that the other party wanted to abduct a girl from Chunlou. It was almost impossible to go through the front door. The most likely possibility was to sneak out through the back door, so they directly placed Zhao Lao and Zhao Lao Er, who were the most skilled in martial arts, at the back door. One Zhao Xiaotu was left behind. This old fifth man is very clever and has very nimble legs and feet. Even if there is an emergency, he can still keep an eye out and run out to report the news in time.
After each arranged their tasks, the Zhao brothers said goodbye to everyone and went down to deliver messages to the other three brothers. The Taoist priest with a grimace estimated the time and saw that the flower viewing platform was gradually coming to an end. He felt that it was time to go out and cast the net, so he greeted the waiter who came to the shop. After paying for the meal, he went with He Siniang and Meng Qingyao. We left Chunlou separately.
When they arrived on the street, Meng Qingyao said hello and turned towards the narrow alley. The grimace Taoist priest and He Siniang scanned the surrounding environment, and then came to the back of a row of shelves across the street, hiding in the shadows and waiting for the fish to take the bait.
It was a bright night with the moon in the sky, and the bright light dimmed the stars a little. The few sparse clouds looked even more bleak, as if something was floating in the water. Even if it caused ripples, it could not stop the clouds that were about to surface. the truth.
The grim-faced Taoist priest had an ominous premonition for no apparent reason.
He turned his head and saw He Siniang untying her waist, as if she wanted to put on the ghost opera robe again, so he said, "If you don't want to fight, there's no need for it, right?"
He Siniang kept her hands on her hands and replied: "I learned the skill of fighting upside down in Jinyuefu. Since I want to end it tonight, why not put on this body and do it cleanly."
"That's fine, then don't wear this again next time."
"It depends on your mood."
"Okay, no one can stop you, but Si Niang, do you feel that your actions tonight are not quite right?"
"Kind of."
"tell me the story."
"We're waiting like this, but what if Mrs. Qi and the others don't come out?"
"Harmful! You have to worry about this if you join us."
"What? Isn't this important? Don't forget that Ruby Girl is in their hands. If they want to waste it, we will definitely be the ones who are passive."
"You can't say that. No matter how hard it is, it's just an all-nighter. What Mr. Xue is bidding for is a one-night supper. They will be checking people from house to house early tomorrow morning, so they will definitely take action tonight. Pindao has no idea about this. I’m worried, but there’s another problem I can’t figure out.”
"What is it?"
"You said we don't know about the Zhao family's martial arts, but Fourth Master Xue and Mrs. Qi have been around for so long, how could they not know about it? Pindao inferred from the conversation in the box that Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao were very It’s possible that his martial arts skills are not inferior to those of Lao Qi. Why do you think Fourth Master Xue and the others are so confident that they can abduct such two tricky ideas?"
