Chapter 24: Scoundrel! Go to hell!
A moment later, the white dust around them gradually subsided, and everyone's vision gradually cleared, but they could no longer find the figures of Tang Zheng and Su Xiaoxi.
Li Sheng was expressionless, pulled a blood-stained sleeve arrow from his shoulder, looked at it carefully in front of his eyes, but didn't say anything.
The accountant who had been knocked out before had woken up and took the initiative to step forward to bandage Li Sheng's wound.
Li Sheng looked at him coldly and asked: "Where is the account book?"
"It was... snatched away." The accountant stammered.
"Trash! All trash!" Li Sheng cursed fiercely and threw the sleeve arrow to the ground.
Then he looked around, and those who were seen by him lowered their heads in fear, not daring to look at him.
"Let that Embroidered Uniform Guard know our background, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until tomorrow morning, and the government people will come!" Li Sheng said viciously: "By then, we will all die!"
The accountant asked uneasily: "Then what should we do?"
Li Sheng replied angrily: "Besides running away, what other way is there?"
However, before he could finish speaking, he heard his subordinate Abao suddenly say: "Boss, this knife is a bit wrong."
"Hmm?" Li Sheng looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"The material doesn't seem right." Abao brought the half-broken knife head that Li Sheng had cut off before and said at the same time: "This knife is a bit light. The Embroidered Uniform Guard shouldn't use such inferior knives, right?"
Hearing this, Li Sheng's eyes lit up: "That makes sense. The Embroidered Spring Blade of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is bestowed by the Emperor. If it is really an Embroidered Spring Blade, how could it break with one cut?"
"Boss, there is also a gold medal here." Another subordinate shouted, picking up a gold medal from the ground, with half a rope hanging on it. It seems that it was just cut off by the knife Li Sheng threw just now.
"Bring it to me quickly." Li Sheng almost snatched the gold medal from the subordinate's hand, first weighed it in his hand, then put it in his mouth and bit it twice, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"No, this is definitely not an Embroidered Uniform Guard gold medal." He said to himself, and the smile on his face began to become crazy and ferocious.
"Fake! That Embroidered Uniform Guard is actually fake! This is really interesting!"
……
Hongfu Restaurant, Room No. 8.
Tang Zheng and Su Xiaoxi pushed open the room door panting. After entering the room, Su Xiaoxi closed the door.
"So dangerous, but there is finally a gain!" Tang Zheng took out the new account book from his bosom with lingering fear and said: "With this, we can prove your brother's innocence."
And Su Xiaoxi didn't answer his words, just looked out the window and asked with some worry: "Where is Lin Zuo? He won't be in danger, right?"
"No, I think the one who saved us just now should be him." Tang Zheng said very positively: "Except for him, I can't think of anyone who would happen to appear at the scene to help us and happen to carry lime powder."
Su Xiaoxi was relieved: "That's good."
Looking at Su Xiaoxi's side face that was flickering in the candlelight, Tang Zheng's mischievous heart suddenly arose, and he deliberately teased her: "By the way, why didn't we go back to your house?"
"Those people know where I live, they will definitely come to the door, so we can't go back."
"So you brought me to open a room?" Tang Zheng smiled: "Do you think our development speed is a bit fast?"
"Bah! Don't talk nonsense!" Su Xiaoxi blushed, but after a while, she said in a low voice: "Thank you for saving me regardless of your life just now."
"Each other, without your help, I wouldn't have been able to escape." Tang Zheng followed the snake and asked: "Miss Su, how was my performance just now? Can it be considered standing tall between heaven and earth?"
This sentence of his was clearly aimed at the "want to marry a hero who stands tall between heaven and earth" that Su Xiaoxi once said. Su Xiaoxi obviously heard his subtext, her face became redder, but she nodded and said in a voice as small as a mosquito: "Barely."
Then she quickly changed the subject: "You were injured just now, right? Is it serious?"
Tang Zheng immediately put on a mournful face: "Ouch, I didn't notice it until you said it. Now that you say it, I suddenly feel it hurts a lot."
"Where is the injury? I'll help you bandage it."
"Really? But men and women should not touch, are you really willing..."
"Jianghu people, don't stick to small details."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Tang Zheng said while turning around, facing the bed, and sticking his butt toward Su Xiaoxi.
There was an obvious knife wound on his butt, and a large piece of his pants had been dyed red.
"I'm injured on my butt." Tang Zheng said while making a gesture to take off his pants.
Su Xiaoxi blushed, and the next second, she kicked Tang Zheng's butt, and at the same time cursed in a low voice: "Scoundrel! Go to hell!"
Tang Zheng "Ouch" fell onto the bed.
Su Xiaoxi turned around, opened the room door and walked out, but when she was about to go out, she couldn't help but look back and added: "I'm staying next door, call me if you have anything!"
"Alright." Tang Zheng lay on the bed and turned his head to say.
After Su Xiaoxi went out and closed the door, he waved his fist excitedly.
Although he was cut, he won Miss Su's favor. Big profit!
Proud in his heart, Tang Zheng couldn't help but hum a little tune: "Canal water, ten thousand miles long, thousands of ships transport imperial grain, grain transport grain piles up in the warehouse, grain transport workers are hungry and heartbroken, if there is a girl, no one will marry a boatman..."
The candlelight shone on his face, and his smile looked a bit lewd.
……
Su Xiaoxi walked out of Tang Zheng's room, and after closing the door from the outside, she couldn't help but show a smile on her face.
She covered her cheeks with her hands, and they were actually a bit hot. There seemed to be a little deer bumping around in her heart. This feeling was something she had never experienced in her ten-plus years.
And just at this moment, Tang Zheng's humming came from Tang Zheng's room.
"Canal water, ten thousand miles long, thousands of ships transport imperial grain, grain transport grain piles up in the warehouse, grain transport workers are hungry and heartbroken, if there is a girl, no one will marry a boatman..."
The excitement and pride in the tone could be heard even by a deaf person.
"Virtue!" Su Xiaoxi muttered in a low voice, but there was clearly no blame in her tone, and it seemed to carry a bit of secret joy.
She walked toward her room, but a low voice suddenly came from the darkness: "Miss Su."
"Who?" Su Xiaoxi turned around abruptly, put on a defensive posture, but saw a figure slowly walking out of the darkness.
"Lin Zuo?" After seeing the person's face clearly, Su Xiaoxi was immediately happy: "Just now Tang Zheng and I were worried about you. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Lin Zuo smiled and shook his head: "Miss Su, there is something I want to ask you for a favor."
"A favor?" Seeing Lin Zuo speaking solemnly, Su Xiaoxi was a bit confused: "What favor?"
"Let's talk somewhere else." ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
