Chapter 1148

Imperial Capital time, 1:10 AM, the premiere of "Flying Swords of Longmen" was still playing.

At this very moment, an hour had passed since the movie started.

The entire movie could be said to have constant climaxes.

Since the three squad leaders of the Western Depot entered Longmen Inn, this movie, already highly energetic, continued to have one climax after another, making people unable to stop.

In the previous plot, Zhao Huaian saw the Western Depot people coming and the heavy rain outside, so he decided to wait until the rain stopped before acting.

But unexpectedly, by the next day, the rain was still falling.

The warriors who were originally with Ling Yanqiu couldn't take it anymore and had a quarrel with Zhao Huaian and Ling Yanqiu. It turned out they weren't righteous warriors at all, but helpers hired by Ling Yanqiu with money.

Now that they were facing such a big crisis, they naturally didn't want to continue... unless... they got paid more!

It wasn't until Ling Yanqiu promised to pay more that they calmed down.

Zhao Huaian's group went downstairs to eat and met the Western Depot people. The second squad leader came over to talk, saying Zhao Huaian looked ruddy like an official, but Zhao Huaian laughed:

"Little brother doesn't have the fortune to be an official; you, brother, look like you have the face of an official."

The second squad leader asked: "How so?"

"Where would one find someone wearing official boots in this wilderness? You are truly dedicated, my lord."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Western Depot agents' faces changed slightly.

The second squad leader still had some skills and immediately laughed, brushing it off.

Immediately afterward, Zhao Huaian 627 asked the second squad leader again, saying a big event happened in the capital recently—Minister of War Yang Yuxuan was killed—and asked if the second squad leader knew the inside story. The second squad leader gave a sheepish laugh and quickly waved his hand, saying he didn't know.

Zhao Huaian didn't intend to let him off.

"The ones who killed Minister Yang are those bastards who eat people without spitting out the bones, who have heads but no tails!"

"No tails" refers to eunuchs not having that thing.

Once these words were spoken, could the Western Depot agents endure it?

They immediately drew their swords, preparing to fight.

The Western Depot people had no tails, but that didn't mean they had no temper.

For a moment, swords were drawn in the inn, the air solidified like cement, and a great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Along with them, the audience in the theater also became tense, their heartbeats accelerating.

"Actually, regarding that Yang Yuxuan incident, there is no right or wrong, just different positions. From the perspective of Jiang Yuyan and the Eastern/Western Depots, in order to sit firmly in their positions, they certainly had to eliminate dissidents, especially bold ones like Yang Yuxuan. And Yang Yuxuan's loyalty to the Zhu family was also not wrong."

"Worldly affairs are originally like this; there are no absolute villains, and no absolute heroes. Villains might occasionally have a flash of kindness, and heroes might be hidden hypocrites. To sum it up in one word: different positions."

Yang Ying and Meng Qian whispered to each other.

In fact, according to the background settings of the original "Flying Swords of Longmen" and "New Longmen Inn," no matter how you look at it, the Eastern and Western Depots are villains, but on Blue Star, because of Jiang Yuyan's existence, the setting of heroes and villains makes people feel very conflicted.

On the screen.

Jin Xiangyu saw the gunpowder smell between the two sides and, fearing that a fight would destroy Longmen Inn, hurriedly eased the atmosphere between the two, telling the waiters to serve the dishes quickly.

Both sides ordered roast whole lamb, but there was only one lamb, and the two sides argued about it, arguing endlessly.

There was no other way, so Jin Xiangyu had to let the chef Diao Buyu take action.

They saw him use the butcher's knife technique in front of all the experts, skillfully dividing a roast whole lamb into two in an instant, stabilizing the scene.

The Western Depot subordinates suggested capturing Zhao Huaian and the others first to confirm their identities, but this was rejected by the head squad leader, who believed that relying only on their current manpower, they might not be able to capture all of Zhao Huaian's group, and planned to go and test their reality at night.

In the afternoon.

The heavy rain finally stopped; Zhao Huaian's group, because of the presence of the Western Depot people, dared not leave Longmen Inn immediately.

Zhao Huaian thought of the secret passage Jin Xiangyu mentioned and also planned to find Jin Xiangyu at night to ask about it.

Another uneasy night arrived.

Zhao Huaian and the head squad leader acted almost simultaneously.

Zhao Huaian, in order to find the secret passage, snuck into the head squad leader's room but accidentally alerted the third squad leader. The two fought, and Zhao Huaian, whose martial arts were higher, sealed the third squad leader's acupoints before escaping.

On the other side.

The head squad leader also snuck into Zhao Huaian's room. He didn't find Zhao Huaian but met Jin Xiangyu, who had come to find Zhao Huaian for a tryst, thereby learning that Jin Xiangyu and Zhao Huaian's group were not on the same path. He chose to use his "money power," offering Jin Xiangyu one thousand taels to stall Zhao Huaian and the others for one day.

Jin Xiangyu agreed.

The plot progressed rapidly.

The three forces fought with wits and courage in the small inn.

One night passed, and the three forces gained nothing.

At dawn, Zhao Huaian decided he couldn't wait like this anymore; he let Ling Yanqiu and the others take the children and leave first, while he stayed behind to stall the Western Depot's forces.

But how could the Western Depot people let him have his way? When they went downstairs with the children, the Western Depot's forces were already guarding the inn's lobby, not letting them leave.

Yet at this moment.

The Battalion Commander led his soldiers to the inn; Jin Xiangyu was overjoyed, thinking they would stop the great battle between the two sides.

But unexpectedly, the Battalion Commander left again very quickly; they had been bribed by the Western Depot's forces with three thousand taels of silver.

At this time, neither Zhao Huaian nor the head squad leader's side had revealed each other's identities, only having suspicions about each other in their hearts.

In order to leave Longmen Inn smoothly, Zhao Huaian had no choice but to return to the starting point, finding Jin Xiangyu and offering one thousand taels to buy the secret passage. This time Jin Xiangyu agreed but set a condition, requiring Zhao Huaian to accompany her to "light a candle" once, and it had to be done immediately.

Could Zhao Huaian's hot temper agree to this?

Marriage!

They must get married!

This actually gave Jin Xiangyu a big fright; although she craved men's bodies and was always flirtatious, she had never thought about marriage—it was never in the range of choices for a sea queen!
