Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 75 Mung bean soup (1)

  Wen Mingtang came out from the back door of Sulejiaofang and turned onto Chunfeng Avenue, crossed Chunfeng Street into Yongjiafang, and then crossed the main road to enter Zhuquefang.

  Dali Temple is at the entrance of Zhuquefang, very close, and there are guards coming in and out all day long, so it is always the safest.

  So...should go back later.

  Wen Mingtang walked through Chunfeng Avenue and entered Yongjiafang, and then slowly wandered around in Yongjiafang.

   Wandering from shop to shop, when he came out of a spice shop run by a barbarian, Wen Mingtang walked to the mung bean soup vendor queuing up at the entrance of Yongjiafang, and lined up behind the pedestrians.

  …

  …

   After breakfast, Liu Yuan and others left Dali Temple.

  Although Guanshi Song was arrested yesterday, it was only confirmed that he was the murderer of Team Leader Huang. Instead of solving the whole case, there are more mysteries.

  Everything has to be asked about what happened twenty-five years ago to the people in the military camp near Salt Lake City.

  Of course Liu Yuan and the others would not make a special trip to Salt Lake City for this purpose. The journey to Salt Lake City is far away, tens of thousands of miles away, and the round trip was delayed for several months. Even if there are any clues to be erased, naturally it will not work.

   Several people came out this time, one was to send news to the Salt Lake City barracks, and the other was to look for veterans from the Salt Lake City barracks to ask about the situation.

  If you want to ask whether there are veterans from Salt Lake City in Chang'an City, you have to go to the office of the Ministry of War to find out where the retired veterans are.

They were lucky. They went to the Ministry of War and learned that there were indeed several veterans in Chang'an City who retired from Salt Lake City. They copied down the addresses of those veterans. According to the address checked to find people to check the situation.

Looking at the nearby shops, there were many grocery stores, but he didn't see any restaurants. Liu Yuan turned his head to look at Lin Fei who came out with them, and asked, "Lin Shaoqing, there are no outstanding restaurants or restaurants in Yongjiafang. , it’s better to walk a few more steps to the main road, there are a few good restaurants in our Zhuquefang.”

  Lin Fei didn't immediately say yes or no, but stopped, and stood in the middle of the road with Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, looked up at the sun above, and said suddenly: "It's almost noon."

   Liu Yuan looked down at the shadow under his feet that was so short that it was almost negligible, and echoed casually: "Yes, it's almost noon!"

  The time of the day when the sun is at its maximum is approaching. At this time, the sun shines directly on the top of the head, and the shadows are the shortest.

  Short is of course not only the shadows of people, but also the streets, buildings and pavilions. All shadows will dissipate, revealing the people hiding in them.

  The pedestrians in front finished their mung bean soup and left, and it was Wen Mingtang's turn.

   "Five Wen," said the vendor selling mung bean soup.

  Wen Mingtang let out an "um" and reached out to touch his bosom.

  …

Shangfeng was looking up at the sun seriously, and Liu Yuan looked at the slightly empty surroundings, and suggested: "Lin Shaoqing, should we move aside? We are standing in the middle of the road, in case a carriage comes, Isn't it in the way?"

   As soon as the voice fell, before Lin Fei could open his mouth, he heard Bai Zhu beside him say "Hey" and said, "Master Wen!"

  The sentence "Master Wen" not only surprised Wen Mingtang who reached out to touch his arms, but also surprised Lin Fei and Liu Yuan who were watching the sun.

   Seeing Wen Mingtang who was buying mung bean soup, Liu Yuan waved to her instinctively, saying hello: "Master Wen..."

   Before he finished speaking, Wen Mingtang, who had only smiled at the corners of their eyes one moment ago, changed his face the next moment.

Before Liu Yuan could react, a force pushed him back, he staggered forward and fell to the ground, a cold light flashed in front of him, and Liu Yuan, who realized something, instinctively exclaimed: "Oh, I'm going! "

  Wen Mingtang not far away also expressed the same emotion.

At first, I thought meeting them was a surprise, but I couldn't be happy in the future. When I saw the masked man who suddenly turned over from the roof of a nearby shop, Wen Mingtang realized that something was wrong, and then saw the front not far away, with the usual expression When the calm and composed Lin Fei looked behind her with a flash of astonishment, she knew something was wrong.

  Because of Lin Fei's expression, Wen Mingtang, who knew what was going on without looking, subconsciously hid in the mung bean barrel beside him.

  The long knife smashed at the crowd, and the startled mung bean soup stall owner and the pedestrians who were queuing up to buy mung bean soup screamed and avoided.

  Wen Mingtang took out the sharpened boning knife from his bosom, and held it in his hand.

  Looking at the five burly men who jumped out, and then at the two masked men on her side, Wen Mingtang suddenly felt that he was at a loss.

  At first, they thought they were lucky to meet Liu Yuan, but they didn't expect that the opposite party, like her, was also using their bodies as bait to lure the murderers who were chasing and killing them.

  Don’t hide in the shop on the street, it’s useless to go in, except to catch the turtle in the urn, and it will also cause the death of the people in the shop for no reason.

Using one's body as bait is not something that anyone dares to do, but Lin Fei, who is always accompanied by Zhao You, suddenly drew a soft sword from his waist to meet the murderer, and it looked like it was decorated with precious stones. The soft sword that looked like a decoration was not weak at all in his hand, and under the shadow of the sword's light and sword, he successfully blocked the five burly men.

   Rao Wen Mingtang was also a little surprised by this, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, who were in a daze, rushed towards Wen Mingtang when they realized their reaction.

  The two murderers who were chasing behind her missed with one blow. Seeing that Wen Mingtang hid behind the mung bean barrel, he slashed at the mung bean barrel again.

  Wen Mingtang rolled over on the spot, dodged and joined Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu.

  The five murderers who were chasing and killing them were blocked by Lin Fei for the time being, and they had to deal with the two men here. The murderer who overturned the mung bean barrel came here again.

  Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu each picked up a wooden stick and blocked her in front of her on the way to meet her.

It's just that the two of them are just frail scholars after all, facing this kind of murderer who specializes in this kind of way, they finally lost the wind. The wooden stick was easily chopped off by the opponent, and the huge chopping force shocked the two of them. Immediately let go and flew out.

   Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu's faces turned pale, and saw the vicious murderer on the opposite side slash at them again.

   It's over! I don't want to explain it here!

   Just as she was thinking like this, she saw a figure suddenly appearing behind the murderer, and she raised her hand towards the murderer to stab him.

  The sharp boning knife was inserted into the brainstem from the back of the neck, cutting off the murderer's life neatly.

   Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu were dumbfounded.

Before the two of them could react, Wen Mingtang threw the boning knife that cut off the murderer's life just now, picked up the long knife of the dead murderer, turned around and took away the other murderer who was chasing her behind him, and turned to the scuffle. Lin Fei ran to the other side with the five murderers.
