As Lu Jing walked towards the small courtyard where Manager He lived, the group of bodyguards who were drinking tea by the tea stall also quietly touched the weapons on the table.
The toy vendor on the street looked at the wooden box at his feet. At the bottom of the wooden box was a pair of iron hooks.
The woman who was coaxing the child held down the soft sword hidden in the baby's clothes.
The two idle men who were playing chess secretly grabbed a handful of iron chess pieces in their hands.
As for the three old men basking in the sun, they were the most conspicuous on the street, and lying on wicker chairs, it was difficult to hide any weapons.
But the farmer driving the ox cart was already slowly approaching them.
Lu Jing, who was the target, still looked oblivious at this moment. He stood in front of Guanshi He's door and was about to reach out and knock on the door, but unexpectedly, something happened at the next moment.
A large group of knights suddenly came galloping from the other end of the long street. Everything they passed was a mess, and pedestrians on the road also fled.
People with sharp eyes have already recognized that they are from Prince Mu's palace. There are many dignitaries in the capital, but the two sons of Prince Mu Yan are the most arrogant and domineering.
Both of them are unlearned and incompetent people. They are not good at poetry, books and articles. However, they are proficient in fighting cocks and lackeys, and they like to make friends with wanderers.
On weekdays, people travel together in large crowds. When they meet opponents, they don’t follow any rules of the rivers and lakes. They all swarm them. Unless they are true masters, most of them will be unable to defeat them with two fists.
And they were not ashamed. Instead, they took advantage of the large number of people and fought fiercely everywhere, causing headaches for the people in the capital.
At this time, these martial arts people lurking on Niuxing Street are not afraid of the people from Prince Mu's palace, but at this juncture, they don't want to cause trouble. A conflict with this group of people is a trivial matter, and delaying the main business will be more than worth the gain.
So the escorts who were still drinking tea got up to get out of the way, and even the three old men lying on the wicker chairs hurriedly got up.
The strength of his skills does not indicate his age at all.
Only the farmer driving the bullock cart was in trouble. After all, he had become a monk halfway and was not yet skilled in driving the cart. He wanted to move aside, but the cow didn't react so quickly, and he saw a large group of people rushing towards here. , was also a little frightened, and stood motionless.
The farmer gritted his teeth and jumped out of the car. Then he quickly grabbed the front hooves of the old cow with both hands. With his muscles bulging, he actually rushed to kill the frightened cow before the knights arrived. The cow was pulled aside.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the leader, a young man who looked like a young man, grabbing the reins of the horse and stopping the white horse in front of him. The group of knights following him also slowed down after seeing this. The speed increased and soon the street was blocked.
"Hey, you have good strength. You must have practiced some horizontal kung fu. It's a pity to farm. Why don't you follow me? You will always be indispensable for prosperity and wealth in the future." The young man who looked like a young man said with great interest. looking at the farmer.
The farmer was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly, "Young ones don't know any martial arts, they just have strong strength since they were young."
"Born with supernatural power, that's even better. I'll find a more powerful master for you. Learn some outer martial arts. You'll definitely be a good hand in a fight." Another young master behind him also said.
The farmer groaned in his heart and subconsciously wanted to look in Lu Jing's direction, but his sight was blocked by this group of people from Prince Mu's Mansion.
Lu Jing on the other side ignored what was happening on the street and still planned to knock on the door of Guanshi He's house.
However, the next moment a voice came to his ear, "Don't go in, there's a trap inside!"
Lu Jing's hand stopped in mid-air, with a look of surprise on his face. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman wearing a black veil.
The latter must have been mixed in with the team from Prince Mu's Mansion. She came here with those people. She just jumped off the horse and waved to Lu Jing, "Follow me."
After saying that, she turned around and rushed towards a paper shop not far away, but after running two steps, she stopped again because Lu Jing behind her did not follow.
The woman stamped her feet, "Let's go, why are you still standing there!"
"Where to go?" Lu Jing asked.
"No matter where you go, get out of danger first."
"But I don't think there's any danger." Lu Jing said truthfully.
However, before he finished speaking, he saw the woman wearing a black veil running back, grabbing his arm with one hand, and said, "You don't know, there are many masters hidden on this street. They are waiting to deal with you, and there are people lurking in Guanshi He’s house, just waiting for you to come in, so you won’t be able to come out.”
"That's not the case." Lu Jing shook his head.
The woman wearing a black veil became anxious, "Why can't you listen to my advice? Hurry up, the people from Prince Mu's Mansion won't be able to delay for too long. Those guys will definitely become suspicious as time goes by."
After saying that, she didn't care whether Lu Jing agreed or not, she just dragged Lu Jing and ran towards the paper shop.
As a result, after running less than two steps, he caught the eye of the woman holding the child. The latter was already standing far away from the farmer driving the bullock cart, so he just moved a few steps and was able to get there again. See Lu Jing's side.
At one glance, her expression suddenly changed, and then she gestured to her companion next to her, and then hurriedly chased after him.
"What's wrong!" The woman wearing a black veil also felt her heart sink, and she quickly quickened her pace. At the same time, she turned to Lu Jing and said, "You should believe me now."
"I never doubted what you said." Lu Jing actually wanted to stay and face the enemy, but he was dragged by the woman wearing a black veil, so he had no choice but to run away first.
He followed her into the paper shop, and then ran out of the back door under the surprised gaze of the shopkeeper.
The woman wearing a black gauze pulled a grain truck from the side, pushed it to the ground, and blocked the back door of the paper shop. From this point, it can be seen that she did not come to rescue Lu Jing on the spur of the moment. It was obvious before There are sufficient plans in place.
However, a grain truck is unlikely to stop a group of martial arts masters.
So after doing all this, the woman wearing a black veil kept moving and pulled Lu Jing and ran onto the arch bridge not far away. She also knocked over two baskets of dates on the way. The woman wearing a black veil threw them to the date seller. The hawker gave Lu Jing a tael of silver, then pushed Lu Jing off the bridge, and she followed closely behind, jumping down and landing in a awning boat.
The old boatman must have been informed before. Seeing this, without saying a word, he raised his oar and carried the awning boat down the river.
