Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 510
Beside Beiyuan Street, Xia Hu and Han Di were dressed in men's clothes and walked into a wine shop to drink.

They didn't need a private room, not even a table, and they crowded in a group of laborers and came to the counter.

Xia Hu didn't speak, took out two copper coins and lined them up on the counter.

The man didn't ask any more questions, and poured a bowl of wine for the two of them.

This restaurant is called Qingjiang Yuanzi, and the cheapest water and wine cost only a penny a bowl, which is especially suitable for those poor people who work hard for a living.

Every evening, laborers who had paid their wages came to the hall to wait. The shopkeeper brought out two barrels of water and wine on time, and the clerk poured them bowl by bowl, and collected money for every penny until they were sold out.

If the person who came to buy water and wine gave him an extra copper, the clerk could also cut him two slices of fat.

There are many people in this kind of place, so Xia Hu and Han Di will take refuge here for a while.

Didn’t you say you’re going to Zhukukulou Tea House?How did you get to the restaurant?

Xia Hu couldn't help it, she couldn't get rid of the people behind her.

That person's cultivation was above the fifth rank, and he couldn't tell with the Eye of Sin Karma, he must be a fierce general under Long Xiulian's subordinates.

If he was allowed to follow Zhukukulou Tea House, Lu Yanyou might not be able to protect himself.

A man walked past the door of the restaurant. He was about fifty years old, with thick eyebrows, piercing eyes, square lips, wearing a green shirt, holding a folding fan, and looking at his aura, he knew he was a rich man.

He stopped in front of the restaurant for a moment, Xia Hu felt a chill down his spine.

It's him, here we come!

There are two restaurants and a tea house on the street, he probably didn't see which shop I entered.

Han Di wanted to look back.Xia Hu kicked Han Di, signaling her not to look back.

Standing in this group of people, drinking in silence, it is considered luck to be able to avoid him.

The shopkeeper was in a good mood today, and he served an extra bucket of water and wine, and the guests kept applauding.

Seeing the commotion in the wine shop, the man looked elsewhere, feeling his breath go away, Xia Hu heaved a sigh of relief.

Really good luck today!

Wait a little longer, wait for him to go further!
After waiting for a while, Han Di couldn't bear it any longer. The cheap wine and the pungent smell of sweat made her really uncomfortable.

She took a peek back and saw that the man was no longer there, and said to Xia Hu in a low voice: "The man is gone, let's go too."

This sentence caused trouble.

The whole restaurant immediately fell silent.

From entering the door until now, Xia Hu hadn't said a word, but Han Di did.

What's wrong with such a noisy restaurant?Can anyone hear me?

That depends on who said it.

If a burly man talks here for half an hour, no one will pay attention.

But Han Di's voice was incompatible with this restaurant.

There are almost no women patronizing this wine shop, especially the standing drinking counter, which is densely packed and crowded with men, so there should be no women here.

The whole restaurant fell silent in an instant.

Han Di looked at Xia Hu in embarrassment, and Xia Hu's sweat protruded from his forehead.

She was very lucky, why did she have to be brought out!
The coercion on his back reappeared, and the middle-aged man who had already left suddenly took a few steps back and came to the door of the restaurant again.

Without looking back, Xia Hu took out a sling of money from her purse and handed it to the clerk, saying in a hoarse voice, "Find me a private room."

The clerk was stunned for a moment, collected the money, and took the two of them to the private room.

The private room was on the second floor. Xia Hu led Han Di into the private room. Without even touching the stool, he pushed open the window and jumped out.

Downstairs in the private room is the backyard of the wine shop. The two wine guys were stunned for a while when they saw Xia Hu and Han Di.

Xia Hu kept silent, pulled Han Di, and jumped out along the courtyard wall.

The two walked through several courtyards one after another and came to the side of the street.

Running all the way along the street, the two turned around and got into a deep alley.

After leaving this alley, you will arrive at Zhukukulou Tea House.

Before the man could catch up, Xia Hu pulled Han Di and ran as fast as he could. After running for a while, he suddenly saw the man in Tsing Yi appear beside him, and ran side by side with Xia Hu.

"Xia Zhonglang, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Xia Hu didn't answer, her mind went blank.

She didn't know what to do, she just ran forward desperately.

In fact, running is useless, her speed is much worse than the opponent.

The man in green suddenly stood in front of Xia Hu and said, "Xia Zhonglang, I asked you a question, why didn't you answer? I have no ill intentions towards you."

Xia Hu panted, "Are you a subordinate of Zai Longzhong?"

The man shook his head and said: "You guessed wrong, I am not Long Zhongzai's subordinate, I am Long Zhongzai."

Xia Hu's head buzzed, she turned around and continued running.

You have to run, you have to run even if you know you can't run, even if you are chased and killed by him, it is better than being captured alive and insulted by him!

Long Xiulian appeared next to Xia Hu again: "I said Xia Zhonglang, why do you always run away? Why do you always bring a slave with you?"

Yes, why do I always take her with me?
Xia Hu let go of Han Di and let her run for her life!
I shouldn't have let her go, I should have kept her for my queen, this is what slaves should do.

Xu Shi has been with Xu Zhiqiong for a long time, and my disposition has also changed.

That thief Pi always treats his servants kindly!

Long Xiulian stopped in front of Xia Hu again, and the smile on his face became more and more kind: "Xia Zhonglang, I came to you today because of a good thing for you.
Everyone in the Capital Punishment Department knows that you and Ma Shangfeng are a dewy couple who are usually inseparable, but you don't even have a name.
You two are my subordinates after all, so I'll just be a matchmaker for you, first you follow Zuzaifu, and then I call Ma Shangfeng, what do you think? "

Xia Hu turned around and ran again, Long Xiulian chased after him: "But I heard that Ma Shangfeng has a bit of a flirtatious temperament, and he has ambitions to stay in Yu Xianguo, I'm afraid he won't come back,
How about this, I'll give him something from you, a hand, a foot, and an eyeball, what do you think? "

Gritting her teeth, Xia Hu ran desperately.

Long Xiulian frowned and said, "Why are you always silent?"

Before he finished speaking, Xia Hu had a bloody gash on the bend of his left knee, and he staggered and almost fell.

She didn't know when Long Xiulian made the move, nor did she know what weapon he used.

Long Xiulian's speed was completely out of her range of perception.

"You should answer me, tell me what is suitable for Xu Zhiqiong?"

Xia Hu didn't answer.

Long Xiulian cut again on the bend of his left knee, and Xia Hu fell to the ground.

Long Xiulian stood in front of Xia Hu, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned: "Think about it carefully, I think it's better to choose the eyeball, I'll goug one of your eyeballs, you have one eye left, you can see things, keep your hands and feet , don't delay things!"

Xia Hu struggled to get up, limped on one leg, and ran forward.

Long Xiulian smacked his lips and said, "It's really hard to talk to you."

After finishing speaking, there was another cut on Xia Hu's right knee.

She struggled a few times and couldn't stand up.

Even if she couldn't stand up, Xia Hu crawled towards the entrance of the alley.

Long Xiulian sighed: "Forget it, you can climb, I will let you climb, but we have to agree, when you climb out of this alley, you have to decide what to give me, just listen to my advice, give me something!" The eyeball is the best, I will put it in a glass bottle for you, I guarantee that Ma Shangfeng will also like it."

Gritting her teeth, Xia Hu moved towards the entrance of the alley.

You bastard bastard, if you have the ability, kill me right now!

As long as my old lady has a breath, she has to run as hard as she can!

Seeing Xia Hu climbed to the entrance of the alley, Long Xiulian laughed and said, "Okay, I'll pretend you picked the eyeballs."

As soon as he raised his hand, he was about to step forward to goug Xia Hu's left eye, when he suddenly saw a middle-aged man walking up and supporting Xia Hu.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Hu looked up and saw that the man was in his fifties, dressed in coarse cloth, with fair and thin cheeks, and a goatee on his chin.

It looked familiar to him, but I didn't know where he had seen it before.

The man helped Xia Hu up and onto the bench next to him.

Tea stove, teapot, tea bowls of various colors, it turns out that this man runs a drink stall.

Have you met him before?

The man looked at Xia Hu and said, "Girl, sit down and have a bowl of drinks. There are sweet-scented osmanthus tea, lychee honey, cold soup with ice, and freshly brewed hot tea."

While talking, Long Xiulian came out from the alley.

Xia Hu struggled to get up and run away, but the owner of the drink stall held Xia Hu back and sat down: "I bought this bowl of drink, girl, drink it steadily."

Long Xiulian stood behind the drink stall owner, still with a kind smile on his face, he asked, "Who are you?"

The stall owner hurriedly turned around, rubbed his hands, and said with a simple and honest smile: "Seller of drinks, can you have a bowl?"

Long Xiulian looked around, but there was no one.

He looked at it with the pupil of sin, but couldn't see the cultivation of this person.

This person is definitely not an ordinary stall owner, he has the means to conceal his cultivation.

There is no need to talk to such people, just kill them.

Long Xiulian said with a smile: "You drink, how do you sell it?"

The stall owner said with a smile: "It depends on what you want to drink. Lychee honey costs four renminbi, adding some ice chips costs seven renminbi, osmanthus tea is cheap, and a bowl of three renminbi is enough. If you still think it is expensive, I have more..."

Long Xiulian suddenly raised his hand.

Xia Hu couldn't see his raising his hand at all.

Hidden in his palm was a small knife, which slashed across the stall owner's neck without showing a trace.

Blood spattered, against Long Xiulian's smiling face.

In the smile, there is indifference and mockery.

In his eyes, this stall owner didn't seem to be considered a person, not even a life at all.

Xia Hu gritted her teeth hard!

She didn't want to hurt this innocent person, but she couldn't do anything now.

She struggled, stumbled, and crawled forward.

Long Xiulian ignored Xia Hu, and the smile on his face froze.

The splashed blood was not the stall owner's, but his own.

From the wrist to the fingertips, the skin on the back of his hand was torn off, revealing blurred flesh and blood.

And the other side was unharmed!
Underestimated the enemy!
The opponent shot later than him, but faster than him!

Talk and laugh!

This is a third-rank eunuch.

The stall owner held a piece of human skin in his hand, shook his head and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you don't need to give such a big gift for just a few pennies."

Long Xiulian was still surprised, but saw the stall owner make another move.

Long Xiulian hastily parried, another sharp pain in his left wrist.

The orchid is bone-crushing.

The stall owner cut off a piece of his wrist bone with his orchid fingers.

Long Xiulian saw his situation clearly.

Judges are most afraid of opponents who are faster than themselves.

If the distance between the two sides is far enough, the outcome is still unpredictable.

Now that the distance is so close, it is impossible for him to defeat the eunuch opposite.

If a third-rank eunuch approached him, even if he turned around and ran away, he would not be able to run away from him.

There is absolutely no benefit in continuing to fight, Long Xiulian didn't hesitate, tapped his toes to the ground, and disappeared without a trace.

He went straight back to Tsukazaifu.

……

The stall owner picked up a broken bone from the ground and threw it into the charcoal fire together with the human skin.

Xia Hu was behind her, still struggling to crawl, and the stall owner helped her back on the bench.

"You are Xu Zhiqiong's woman, I have seen you before."

Xia Hu trembled and said, "Who are you?"

The stall owner said with a smile: "A year ago, Xu Zhiqiong and I were considered enemies, but now, I should be regarded as his nobleman."
