Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 319

scold--

bass--

Two knives, two clean knives.

The guards with knives sitting at the table next to Zhu Qingyu really lived up to their duties. Seeing that the chair continued to fly forward and was about to hit the princess. fall.

In this regard, Princess Qinghe didn't show any surprise, because in her view, this is a matter of course - if the guards around you can't even do this, then why do you take them with you?Or... why are you still raising them?

However, this little episode interrupted the rhythm of Zhu Qingyu's preparation to get angry, and made her calm down a little.

"Huh..." In the next second, Zhu Qingzhen took a deep breath, swallowed back the harsh words that were already ready to go, and put on a somewhat fake smiling face.

It was the first time for Lin Yuancheng to see this smile, but Zhang Jichi had seen it many times, so Lao Zhang understood that it was not a good sign for Lin Yuancheng.

It was just now that Zhu Qingruo really turned his face directly, saying that Lin Yuancheng made him unhappy, threw a princess temper at him, and then told him to leave, or even fought with him, it was nothing...Because this kind of impulsive anger, vented It is also the quickest way to get up, and after venting, it will calm down.

But after a moment of hesitation, Zhu Qingyu suppressed that anger, and this kind of anger that was suppressed and hidden behind a smile was another matter.

"Heh, Brother Lin." Sure enough, Zhu Qinghe had already thought about it while smiling, "When you came here just now, you said you were going to 'ask for a drink', right?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuancheng was also taken aback. He didn't know why Zhu Qingzhen brought the topic back to what he said when he greeted him at the beginning. It is said that "ask for a glass of wine", "ask for a cup of tea", "ask for advice" One or two" and "have a few drinks together" are quack clichés, used politely to strike up a conversation between strangers, not for the truth in the words.

But since Zhu Qingjue asked this point, Lin Yuancheng had no choice but to answer: "Uh...it's true..."

"Okay!" Zhu Qingyu did not intend to let the other party continue, she immediately interrupted Xiao Lin, and turned to several guards at the next table, "Five and six, quickly go and get some jars of wine.

This "A Wu Ah Liu" is not his real name.

Normally, it is impossible for a princess to memorize the names of a group of guards who were temporarily called out to protect her.

But, Zhu Qing is different, she really remembers it.

At this moment, although Zhu Qingzhen only heard the names of the eight guards with knives at the next table before leaving the palace, she remembered them all, and she matched everyone's names and looks.

It's just... Even if you remember, when it comes time to give an order, she still has to use the address "A Wu Ah Liu Ah Qi Ah Ba"; because it is risky for you to report the guard's real name.

No matter for these guards themselves, or for yourself, there are risks...

"Yes, young master." Ah-Wu and Ah-Liu got the order without another word, promised, then turned and ran to the nearest counter.

Maybe someone will ask, isn't Ma Er and Huang Donglai already fighting?Then the inn lobby should be in chaos right now. Under such circumstances, can Ah Wu and Ah Liu go to buy wine and come back?
Then I can only say that this is not a question of whether it is possible...

Is the princess ordering you to go now, or go "quickly", do you dare to go?

Don't say that there are only hooligans fighting in this store now, even if it is a sea of ​​swords and swords, you have to bite the bullet.

Besides, for these guards with knives, the task of "bringing back some jars of wine" is not too difficult.

First of all, as we have said before, the lobby of this Baoyuan Inn is very large, and the fighting area of ​​Ma Er's thugs and Huang Donglai cannot cover the entire lobby, at most it is concentrated in the area at the gate.

Secondly, in such a large lobby, there must be more than one counter, but multiple places. There are shop assistants and wine cabinets at each counter. Yes, there are other places.

Thirdly, with Ah Wu Ah Liu's martial arts, he may not be able to get too much from the masters of the Jianghu, but it is more than enough to hold a few jars of wine and pass through a group of ordinary hooligans who are fighting with weapons.

In short, after a while, the two of them came back with two wine jars in their arms.

"Young Master, the wine has been brought." As Wu and Liu said, they had arranged the four jars of old wine on the two tables next to them.

"Don't stand still, serve Lin Shaoxia wine." When Zhu Qinghe said this, his eyes were fixed on Lin Yuancheng's, and his expression was still half a smile.

But her phrase "serve wine" made the guards have a hard time.

How should we understand the word "up"?Should we help Lin Shaoxia pour the wine into a bowl or serve it in a cup?Or... Put the jar in front of him and let him pour it himself?
Fortunately, Lao Zhang saw the hesitation of the guards, and immediately said to Zhu Qing: "Master, they are rough, let the old slave come."

"En." Zhu Qingyu nodded.

Zhang Jihui got the permission, so he stepped forward quickly and came to the table of the guards, followed by him with both hands, and opened the seals of the two wine jars in an instant.

Because he covered it with his body and moved very fast, Lin Yuancheng didn't see that when he unsealed the wine jar, Lao Zhang had already quietly poured something powdery into the wine jar on his right hand.

After a breath, Lao Zhang turned around, returned to the table of the princess and Xiao Lin, put the jar of wine in his right hand directly in front of Lin Yuancheng, then held the other jar with both hands, and poured a small glass for the princess carefully. .

"Master, Lin Shaoxia, please use it." After finishing all this, Zhang Jiqi stood aside instead of sitting down, and assumed the posture of serving the two wine lovers in front of him all the time.

"Brother Lin." Zhu Qinghe also picked up the small cup in front of him, and said to Lin Yuancheng with a smile, "I respect you."

Ladies and gentlemen, she only said "I respect you", she didn't say a toast, but an altar.

At this moment, no matter how slow Lin Yuancheng's reaction was, he should have seen that this "Mr. Qingxia" was making things difficult for him.

But people are in the rivers and lakes, the bar has been lifted here, what can you do?

Say something like "wait a minute, I'll find a cup and come back first"?
Such a shameful thing, although for Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, it is as easy as breathing, but Lin Yuancheng is still a bit of an idol and needs some face, he can't do it.

So, at this moment, Xiao Lin also met Zhu Qingyu's gaze with a provocative face, and responded with a bit of an aggressive tone: "Okay, Lin will accept your affection."

After finishing speaking, he raised his neck, lifted the altar with his right hand, supported the bottom with his left hand, and gulped down the old wine into his throat.

Zhu Qingyu, who was holding a glass of wine, was at a loss when she saw this scene. She originally wanted to see the other party's reaction when he was made difficult, but she didn't expect that this kid would not change his expression and chose to drink hard. Then... Doesn't she look embarrassed with a mere glass of wine in her hand?
"Hmph..." Now, Zhu Qinghe was getting more angry, so she could only drink down the cup in her hand without saying a word, sullenly. A slight blush soon appeared on those cheeks.

As for Lin Yuancheng, it didn't take long to finish drinking this jar, only a few tens of seconds.

Oh, let’s interject a little bit here. When Xiaolin and the princess were having a drink here, the fighting in the lobby was still going on. Just a few meters away from them, there was still chaos, weapons clashing, tables and chairs flying, The scene of screaming and chaos... It's just that the eight guards at the table next to them blocked those people and the flying things; If you stop there, you won't deliberately provoke him.

Speaking of Lin Yuancheng...

When putting down the wine jar, Xiao Lin's expression was obviously a little uncomfortable.

In addition to the effects of alcohol and drugs, a large part of the reason is...he drank too much water in a short period of time, and he would have slight water intoxication and his stomach could not bear it.

"Brother Lin is a good drinker." Zhu Qingyu looked at the other party and said in a rather cold tone.

"It's easy to say, as long as Brother Qing is happy." When Lin Yuancheng said this, his tone was quite calm, but in fact the wine had already picked up the energy at this time, which made his head dizzy for a while.

Fortunately, Xiao Lin is sitting at the moment. If he was standing, he might have collapsed.

Speaking of which, Lin Yuancheng's luck was also bad. When Ah Wu and Ah Liu went to the counter to get wine, the four jars that happened to be brought back were all spirits; It's hard enough to go down.

What's more, that Zhang Ji's drugged the wine...

Lao Zhang's idea is very simple: I don't know how you, Lin Yuancheng, behave and do things properly. I only know that if the princess makes any mistakes, no one here... can afford it, so I would rather use more means than I will not risk making the princess any more dangerous.

Therefore, Zhang Jichi didn't care whether Zhu Qingzhen could or would fight Lin Yuancheng today, he only knew that it would be safe to find an opportunity to weaken the opponent's combat power to a range that he could completely control.

So what kind of medicine was Lin Yuancheng given at this moment?
It's not a specific poison, it's just a drug that can intensify the effects of alcohol.

In the palace, the eunuchs had plenty of such drugs. In addition to intoxicating drugs, there were naturally sleeping, aphrodisiac, sedative, and uncomfortable drugs.

These things are necessary methods for palace fighting, and they are very useful in many cases: for example, today the emperor wants a certain eunuch to not like to see his concubine come to bed, so they can intentionally trip him up, during the emperor's tea Add some sleep-promoting medicine, so that before the summoned concubine arrives, the emperor is already asleep. If you are halfway there, you can only ask you to go back. It is hard to say when the emperor will think of this concubine next time. , the next life is possible.

Closer to home...

Right now, as soon as Lin Yuancheng said, "As long as you are happy", Zhu Qingzhen's face turned even redder.

To her, these words were harsh.

Because the meaning in this sentence is - "Although you make things difficult for me, I don't care about you, are you satisfied?"

"Brother Lin, but I'm still not happy." Zhu Qingyu also took advantage of the alcohol, no matter what manner he had, he just made an inch of it.

"Oh? Did I do something to offend brother Qing?" When Lin Yuancheng asked this question, he couldn't hold on any longer. The expression on his face and the tone of his speech were gradually showing drunkenness.

"Yes, but I don't want to say it." Zhu Qing said.

"Why?" Lin Yuancheng said.

"I said it, it looks like I'm stingy." Zhu Qing said.

"Oh...then I won't ask." Lin Yuancheng smiled, the feeling of drunkenness gradually paralyzed his brain, making his emotions more and more uncontrollable, but it also made the boy's eyebrows a little more Chic and casual.

"You want to 'let me' again, don't you?" Seeing his indifferent appearance, Zhu Qingzhen became even more angry. At this moment, she also grabbed the jar of wine closest to her, and took a few gulps from the mouth of the jar. tripe.

Zhang Jichi watched from the side, wanted to stop him, but didn't dare, but the cold sweat had already come down.

"Ah...Brother Qing, in fact, Lin came to see you for no other purpose. He just saw that your butler Zhang is a master of swordsmanship and wanted to chat with him. It would be best...to have a sparring..." Lin Yuancheng said From time to time, he stopped playing charades with the other party. Feeling his head was getting more and more confused, he uttered the truth directly, "Why are you unhappy, and what else can I let you say? I really don't know what you are doing. Thinking... I can only say that if there is any offense, it is all Lin's fault, and I hope Brother Qing will forgive me."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Qingzhen and Zhang Jichi suddenly realized: So this kid's series of actions just now is what happened...

Zhang Jiqian was still surprised in his heart and said: "How did he see that I am 'excellent in swordsmanship'? I have never shown my martial arts in front of him."

As for Zhu Qinghe, he understood, but his anger did not disappear.

A few seconds later, Zhu Qingjue stood up suddenly and said, "Ada, take my sword."

Hearing the order, Ah Da took a quick look at Zhang Ji, and after getting a positive look, he delivered a long sword in his custody to the princess.

Holding the sword in his hand, Zhu Qing looked at Lin Yuancheng and scolded softly: "Well, Lin Yuancheng, I won't embarrass you if you have too many. If you want to compete with Lao Zhang, you can do it with me first. If you win me, I will fight you." Let him fight you."

"Heh..." Lin Yuancheng stood up with a smile. Although he was staggering drunk, he still replied confidently, "It's a deal..."

"Listen, all of you are not allowed to make a move until Lin Shaoxia and I decide the outcome!" Zhu Qingyu put his hand on the hilt of his sword while giving orders to Lao Zhang and the guards.

When the words fell, she shook her wrist and drew her sword, wanting to rush forward and seize the opportunity.

unexpectedly……

In the next second, there were only two sounds of "啪!噗——".

It turned out that it was Lin Yuancheng who made a flash of an arrow, and came first behind, walked around from the side of the table, put one hand on the back of the hand of Zhu Qingyu's sword-drawer, and directly suppressed the latter's sword-drawing gesture.

At the same time that Zhu Qinghe's sword was put back into its sheath, Lin Yuancheng's other hand made a palm gesture and slapped Zhu Qinghe's chest.

With this palm, he didn't use that kind of "hitting" force, but a "pushing" method of force, pushing Zhu Qinghe all over the place.

In the final analysis, the skills and actual combat experience of the two are very different, and Lin Yuancheng does not want to hurt the "Young Master" who looks like a mother-in-law in front of him, so Xiao Lin does not even use a sword, and kills the opponent with one move. Push away, wanting to let the opponent know the gap between the two.

According to Lin Yuancheng's thinking, his palm is definitely letting the sea go. Even if brother Qing is an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts, if he is pushed out like this, he will fall on his back at most, and he won't even leave minor injuries. , After the fall, Brother Qing should understand that his skills are not as good as others, so he won't say anything more.

But Xiao Lin didn't know, the other party was a girl, or a princess - could you push her body wherever you want?
Seeing this, someone must have something to say, Lin Yuancheng has spent the length of the book twice here, and he can't even tell that Zhu Qingyu is a woman disguised as a man?

Yes, just didn't see it.

One of the reasons is that Xiao Lin has been focusing on Lao Zhang from the beginning, so he basically didn't pay much attention to this "Mr. Qingxia".

The second reason... is because among Lin Yuancheng's friends, there is a person surnamed Sun, which gave him a feeling - "There are men with all kinds of voices in this world, it's not surprising." Know……

Therefore, Zhu Qingyu's appearance and voice did not arouse Lin Yuancheng's suspicion.

As for this moment, Xiao Lin is already drunk and dazed, it is good to be able to control the strength of that palm, how can he notice the feeling in his hand when he pushes someone?
But even if he didn't know it, objectively, he caused a catastrophe when he slapped it out.

After a breath, I saw Zhu Qingyu stabilizing his figure in mid-air, turned over to stop the retreat and stood still again.

Although at this moment, Princess Qinghe was a little confused and didn't say anything, but her face was already feeling hot and unbearable.

And the eight guards also stayed where they were, wondering if they should continue to obey the princess's sentence of "no shot".

Only Zhang Jikai's eyes were about to burst into flames.

In public, Zhang Ji had the duty to protect the princess from being bullied; in private, in Zhang's eyes, Princess Qingyu was already almost the same as his own granddaughter.

The little princess has golden branches and jade leaves, and even the future son-in-law hasn't touched her hand yet, and now you are taking such a big advantage of her?Can you survive today?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jikai immediately mobilized his whole body's strength and launched a surprise attack from Lin Yuancheng's side and rear.

This punch, with a clear killing intent, aimed directly at Xiao Lin's back.

Lao Zhang is not a member of the Jianghu, he doesn't care what kind of Jianghu you are, and he doesn't care if you are drunk or not, and he doesn't care about using sneak attacks... In short, if you offend the princess, that is a capital crime. Today I will arrest you If you beat him to death here, you can't talk about it.

bang——

Passed by in an instant.

The fist arrives, and the strength blooms.

An invisible force shocked everyone in the inn lobby.

Already in a trance, Lin Yuancheng couldn't react to Zhang Jichi's attack at all, but...he was unharmed.

Because someone helped him block the punch, and it was easily blocked with just one hand.

Everyone can guess this person - Fudozi.

"Little brat." Two seconds later, Fudoko looked at the astonished Zhang Jigai, and asked in a rather casual tone, "Do you want to kill someone with such a heavy hand?"
