The white owl standing on the roof took a step forward, stood on the edge of the cornice, looked down and smiled coldly, "But how can you pay ten thousand yuan to live in a shop? Is it possible that this son's rent will be paid for? Missing yours?"
The pupils of Jiulang's eyes in the courtyard suddenly brightened.
The cornice is the most pointed and thin decorative part of the roof. It has no load-bearing capacity at all, let alone a large living person standing on it.
Jiulang has always boasted that it is difficult to find a rival in the world of Qinggong. Now when he saw the man in the room, he suddenly felt that he had met his match.
"This brother is really good at joking," Jiulang flicked open the folding fan and slowly fanned the wind, "If you are really ordinary residents, why don't you sleep on a good bed, and why do you want to squat on the eaves of the roof? ? Isn't it good that we Ming people don't tell secrets and directly report Wan'er's appearance? Maybe, if Xiongtai reports his name, we can still come by his seniority. "
Wen Xiaoyun took a step forward and said sternly: "Why should we go to the rafters? If we don't go to the beams, we will be knocked down by you Mi Yan'er. If we don't go to the beams to protect ourselves, is it possible that we will just wait for you to catch us? The black shop chopped us two into stuffing buns?"
Jiulang pretended to be surprised and opened his eyes, waving his fan and looking to the left and right with a smile, "It seems that people think of us as a dirty shop for human meat buns."
The subordinates on the left and right immediately burst into laughter.
Jiulang looked at the roof again and said with a smile: "Master Jiu, I clearly received a message from the waiter, saying that this young master wears a long sword on his waist. According to my great singing rules, no matter what kind of swordsman or knight you are, as long as you If you don’t have any official status, you should be sent to the government for questioning. On the other hand, you two didn’t show any official status when you checked in, and they are far from the real people in the government. Of course we, a small shop that abides by the law, will be a little defensive when we meet them. heart of.
Since you are carrying long swords, of course we will be afraid that you have kung fu! To be on the safe side, I have no choice but to tie you up while you are asleep and then escort you to the Yamen. "
"What a sharp tongue, I'm afraid you can bring life to the dead." Wen Xiaoyun sneered and stepped forward, her eyebrows raised high, her eyes full of disdain, "Since you don't admit that it is a black shop, we have no intention of entangled with you. I might as well tell you clearly that the two of us are members of the government. Since it was just a misunderstanding, how about we say goodbye and you continue to open your little Misan'er Inn and the two of us continue on our way. "
Wen Xiaoyun knew that for a person like Jiulang who was extremely wary, cold and arrogant, directly reporting Dongchuan Du's name would make him suspicious.
Such a secretive attitude, half-hiding his face as if holding a pipa, only made Jiulang more certain that the other party was Dongchuan Du himself.
After saying that, Wen Xiaoyun stepped forward and grabbed Bai Ya's sleeves, and said with a smile: "It's important to be in a hurry, let's not get along with them."
Jiulang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he flicked his hand with a lightning flying knife.
Bai Yu frowned and suddenly raised his sword. There was a crisp sound, and the flying knife was swept away by the soft sword.
Then Bai Yao carried the long sword behind his back, his movements were elegant and quick. He looked down at Jiulang in the center of the crowd, his eyes were cold, and his voice was even colder, "Now that we've said it, why did the shopkeeper force us to stay?"
? "
Jiulang raised his head and smiled, "How come I don't know that the words have already been spoken?" His sinister eyes looked back and forth between Bai Yao and Wen Xiaoyun, "How dare you say that you are a member of the public servants who are out to do business, and you are a thief who eloped. Is it more or less the same?”
The minions next to him immediately started laughing and hooting, "This couple of bitches are just here to have an affair. Which government office would have such a good job? Let us men have fun too!"
Bai Yao's face became increasingly cold.
Wen Xiaoyun stepped forward and asked with a sneer, "I have never heard of a law-abiding store like you. Not only did you sneak attack in the middle of the night, but now you are not letting the customers leave. What's the secret behind such a serious and legal "good business"? Why don't you tell me about it? As soon as I tell you, the two of us also want to learn more about it."
Jiulang, with a sneer on his face, suddenly suppressed his smile and said in a stern voice, "Dongchuan Du, do you really think that our altar in Lu Di is a blind man or a fool, and you can be allowed to come and go as you please?"
"You——" Wen Xiaoyun immediately pretended to be angry and unreasonable after being criticized, and wanted to continue arguing.
Bai Yu suddenly waved his hand, blocking Wen Xiaoyun's anger that was burning to the top of his head.
He turned to look at Jiulang again, "Now that things have happened, I see that this dear friend no longer wants to be secretive. He can tell us directly what his intentions are towards us."
Jiulang closed the fan, clasped his hands and gave a salute to the white duck, "Brother Dongchuan, don't think too much, my younger brother Fengmen Ajiu has just admired Brother Dongchuan for a long time, and because he has always believed that his qinggong is first-rate, he has long thought about it. If there is a chance, he must go south to discuss with Brother Dongchuan. Now that he heard from his subordinates that there is a young man from Dongchuan in the store who can take action, Ah Jiu immediately thought of Dongchuan Du, who had been banished to the immortal thief in Jinling.
No matter what, I wanted to see Brother Dongchuan's physical skills, so I prepared a few 'appetizers' to entertain him first.
Now that they really had a fight, Ah Jiu was willing to accept the defeat.
It is said that in the world of rivers and lakes, meeting each other is fate. Ah Jiucheng wanted to invite Brother Dongchuan to come and talk to me. I wonder if Brother Dongchuan would be willing to show his face? "
Hearing these words, Wen Xiaoyun felt at ease and nervous at the same time.
The reason for peace of mind is that all of Jiulang's identities have been confirmed, and Qin Qi, who is hiding in the shadows, will definitely notify Yinnuo as soon as possible to lead reinforcements to suppress the thieves.
What's nervous is that even if Qin Qi doesn't leave, the risk of going deep into the tiger's den and dealing with Jiulang at close range is still very high with just the strength of the three of them.
She unconsciously glanced at Bai Yao, who also turned his gaze and looked at Wen Xiaoyun.
Although the two people did not speak, they both got the answer from each other's firm eyes.
In order to tie up Jiulang and prevent him from running away with suspicion, they had to catch this Hongmen Banquet.
Bai Yu stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Wen Xiaoyun. Wen Xiaoyun pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and raised her hand to hold it.
With a whistling wind, the white duck flew to the ground with Wen Xiaoyun like a butterfly.
Bai Yu first bowed his hands towards Jiulang and returned the gift, then said calmly: "Since the Ninth Young Master is so kind, then Dongchuan has no choice but to be respectful rather than obey."
Jiulang glanced at Wen Xiaojun next to him with the corner of his eye, smiled, and said with a chuckle: "It is Ah Jiu's blessing to be able to meet Brother Dongchuan. Come, you two come with Jiulang. Jiulang must treat you well."
As he spoke, Jiulang raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Bai Yao and Wen Xiaoyun should go ahead.
Bai Yu's lips curled up slightly, "Ninth Young Master, you're welcome."
With that said, Bai Yu took Wen Xiaoyun's hand and led her towards the front.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
The Ming Dynasty had clear regulations that civilians were not allowed to walk on the streets with weapons without permission.
Once discovered, they will be taken to jail.
Only people from the public sector such as officers, police officers, soldiers, etc. are qualified to take to the streets with weapons^_^
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, it was basically impossible to see swordsmen and knights carrying long swords across their bodies doing chivalry~
