Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 74
"Father, look at this." Wen Shu happily picked up a wooden whistle from a stall selling gadgets on Xizi Street.

Wen Tai shook his head helplessly: "They are all big girls, and they still like this kind of children's stuff."

"I just took a look, and didn't say I want to buy it." Wen Shu muttered and put the things down.

Just as she was about to drag her father to another place, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the left side.

"Stop! Don't run!"

On the left side of the street, a man in Taoist robes was running towards this side at a high speed, and there were still many people chasing behind him, who were a little far away and couldn't see their faces clearly.

Afraid of being bumped into, Wen Shu hurriedly pulled her father back a few steps, and retreated to the back of the booth.

Lu Xi looked at the people ahead who were running faster and faster, and felt very anxious. The young master said that these Taoist priests had court cipher texts hidden on them, and the matter was of great importance. They must not be allowed to slip away, otherwise the soldiers at the border would suffer.

They waited at the city gate for nearly an hour before they saw two Taoist priests approaching. They were about to arrest them, but the Taoist priests were very vigilant and ran away before they approached. , he and the eldest son can only chase after each other separately.

He didn't know the situation of the eldest son, but the one he was chasing was really able to run. He and several guards chased desperately, but they didn't even catch up.

In a hurry, suddenly!He saw a familiar figure standing by the stall in front of him, and he picked out the clothes himself. He was overjoyed at the moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Miss Wen! Quick! Stop that Taoist priest!"

Steward Lu!
As soon as the voice came out, Wen Shu heard it immediately, but he didn't rush out immediately, but stood where he was, as if hesitating for something.

Lu Xi became anxious when he saw it, and immediately added a sentence: "Young master has an order, catch the thief, and reward him with ten taels of silver!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Wen Shu rushed out quickly, but even the submerged fire team who had been standing by had been chasing after him, along with several ordinary people.

"A-Ning!" Wen Tai looked at his daughter rushing in astonishment, and then followed.

Seeing so many people participating, the Taoist immediately pulled a few lanterns hanging from the stall and threw them to the opposite roof in a hurry.

The winter is already dry, and the sky has been sunny for a few days. As soon as the lantern landed on the roof, it instantly ignited the thatch.

The submerged fire team immediately stopped and turned around to fight the fire. Compared with the twelve taels of silver rewards, they were punished for dereliction of duty and ignoring the fire.

The submerged fire team withdrew, and only Wen Shu and three or two middle-aged men were left in front of the Taoist priest.

If it was said that it was originally aimed at the ten taels of silver reward, but at the moment the Taoist priest threw the lantern out, Wen Shu's heart burst into flames!
The fire that happened a year ago was still vivid in her memory, she immediately rushed forward fiercely and grabbed the man's arm.

The Taoist knew that there was someone chasing after him, but seeing that it was a soft and weak girl, he didn't pay much attention to it. He snorted, brushed away the mature men chasing on both sides with his dagger, and continued to run forward.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the clothes were grabbed from behind!

Then a weak figure turned in front of him and slashed with a palm!In his astonishment, he quickly swung the dagger in his hand!
Seeing this, Wen Shu leaned back quickly, and at the same time turned his waist, and kicked the Taoist priest's arm holding the knife violently with his right leg.

She was already strong, but she used all her strength in this kick. The Taoist felt a numbness in his elbow, and the dagger was sent flying!
Seeing that the situation was not good, he didn't make any troubles, just twisted his body and rushed to the dark alley on the right.

But within a moment of Wenshu's blocking, Lu Xi and the guards had already chased after him, and one of the guards flew up in the air, kicking on the back of the fleeing Daotu.The Taoist fell forward uncontrollably, and was about to struggle to get up, but the rest of the guards rushed up and cut his hands back, pressing him firmly to the ground.

Lu Xi immediately knelt down and rummaged through him.

"A-Ning!" Wen Tai rushed forward, pulling Wen Shu to look him up and down: "It's all right! You girl, why are you so bold!"

God knows how frightened he was when he saw Aning rushing out.

Wen Shu responded casually, but his attention was always on Lu Xi, who was being searched, thinking over and over in his heart, the last kick was kicked by Lu Guanshi's person, so how should this reward be counted?

Is it half of one person?still
In any case, she should be considered meritorious for blocking. If it weren't for her blocking just now, the Taoist priest would have run far away, so at least half of it should be given.

Just as he was thinking about it, several people rushed to the street, and the leader was Lu Yuancheng in purple. He came up to him, didn't even look at Wen Shu, and went straight to the Taoist priest and said, "How, have you found anything?"

When he asked the question, Lu Xi happened to touch the Taoist priest's trouser leg, and a scroll-like thing appeared from under the fabric. He smiled and replied, "I found it!"

Lu Yuancheng stepped forward, bent the Taoist priest's legs, and pulled out the scroll from under his trouser legs. He opened it and saw that it was indeed a map of the defense of Zhuzhou.

He was relieved.

Just now he led people to chase another Taoist priest. Although he quickly caught him, he couldn't find anything from him. He knew that the Taoist priest was just a substitute, a cover-up to confuse them.

Immediately turned around to support Lu Xi.

On the way, he met two other waves of pursuers, and when he learned that the scrolls were not found on the two Taoist priests, his heart sank, for fear that the enemy had already sent the scrolls out of the city before them.

Fortunately, the last person had a picture on him and was successfully captured by them again.

Lu Yuancheng felt relieved, and he will order the Taoist priest to be escorted back to the Marquis Mansion, while he will go back to the south of the city and report the matter to the officials.

Seeing that they were escorting them away, Wen Shu didn't mention anything about the money, so she couldn't help but took two steps forward, grabbed Lu Xi and said, "Well, Guanshi Lu, look, the money you mentioned earlier."

Lu Xi just remembered, and was about to answer, when Lu Yuancheng, who was in front of him, turned around when he heard the voice, looked at Wen Shu and said, "What money? Aren't you in the south of the city? Why are you here again?"

"My lord, Miss Wen helped a lot in arresting this Taoist priest just now." Lu Xi told the whole story of what happened just now, including the reward of money that he talked nonsense in a hurry.

After hearing this, Lu Yuancheng didn't blame him, but praised him for his quick wit, and then turned to Wen Shu and said, "It seems that your one month's work is not in vain. As for the money, it is the promise in advance, so naturally it must be fulfilled." Said Then, he directly took out a ten tael handover from his waist and handed it over.

Seeing him being so straightforward, Wen Shu immediately narrowed his eyes with a smile, stepped forward to take Jiaozi, and said cheerfully, "Thank you, sir."

Lu Yuancheng led the people away, Wen Shu touched Jiaozi again, and then carefully handed it to Wen Tai who was beside him, "Father, here you are, turn around and pack it in a wooden alchemy box."

Wen Tai didn't answer, just stared at her and said, "What did Master Lu mean just now? What does it mean that one month's work is not in vain?"

Uh.
Wen Shu paused, and then cursed secretly in his heart, Master Lu is too unreliable, why did he let her slip the tongue.

"Well, Master Lu asked me to accompany Miss Lu to Cangzhou. For my safety, I specially found a master to teach me a few tricks. Dad, the trick I just did was neat."

"What's so neat!" Speaking of this, Wen Tai became furious: "For ten taels of silver, you dare to risk your life, and you don't think about it, what will happen to you if something happens to you. "

"That can't be done." Wen Shu smiled and took his hand and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I cherish my life very much. If I didn't know it in my heart, I would never rush out."

Wen Tai:.
