Chapter 023 Sniper
When Boss Luo heard Lu Sen say that he had lost both his money and his life, he burst into laughter, revealing his yellow and black rotten teeth.
"Not bad, not bad. You, a fair-faced boy, still understand." Boss Luo patted the table happily and said, "In that hour, you go to Bianshui Street to pick someone up."
Then he turned around and looked at Zhao Xiangxiang with a smile: "Okay, beautiful Xiangxiang, can we get started?"
Zhao Xiangxiang lowered her head to make tea for Lu Sen and said calmly, "Please don't worry. It's daytime now. Besides, there's someone else in bed. I don't think Boss Luo wants his mood to be disturbed."
Boss Luo looked at the old man on the bed, then looked at Lu Sen, and laughed, "It's okay, I don't mind."
"But I do mind." Zhao Xiangxiang raised her head, her eyes sparkling with tears, and said tenderly, "Please give me some face, Boss Luo."
Oh... Boss Luo looked at the bed and said slowly: "Could it be that the old immortal on the bed is Liu Tuantian?"
Zhao Xiangxiang's face looked a little ugly.
Hahahaha! Boss Luo slapped his thigh and laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward. "I've heard for a long time that Liu Duntian's erotic poems are the best in the world. All the prostitutes in Bianjing City are proud to sing his poems and songs. All the famous girls in the pavilions are willing to be his concubines. I didn't expect it to be true."
Zhao Xiangxiang subconsciously glanced at the bed and saw that Liu Yong was still sleeping with his eyes closed. She breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, "Boss Luo, I will keep my promise. If I say it's night, it's night. Please come back later at night."
"Heh..." Boss Luo looked unhappy. He put his right arm on the table, leaned forward, and grinned, "What if I want you now and want to take you back to the bottom of the Worry-Free Cave later?"
Zhao Xiangxiang didn't say anything.
At this time, there was a cough outside the door. It was a woman's voice. Lu Sen felt it was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it, it should be the madam from before.
Boss Luo's expression changed slightly, and he looked outside with some fear, and then he said: "Nuanyu Pavilion can protect you for a while, but not for a lifetime. I will stay here tonight, but don't even think about leaving Nuanyu Pavilion in the future."
Zhao Xiangxiang just smiled and said, "I am just a fallen woman, not worthy of Luo Boss's attention."
snort!
Boss Luo snorted heavily, stood up and left the room.
The room became quiet again.
Zhao Xiangxiang made another cup of tea for Lu Sen and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Lu. A vulgar man like Mr. Luo is not worthy of appearing in front of you. But I'm quite curious, are you really willing to pay two strings of cash and four hundred coins to redeem the servant?"
Lu Sen nodded: "Of course I want that."
She looked at Lu Sen with some surprise with her beautiful eyes.
Just as Boss Luo said just now, buying a high-quality and beautiful female slave from a human trafficker would only cost two or three hundred copper coins.
It is simply unthinkable to spend two strings of four hundred coins for a male servant.
You know, Zhao Xiangxiang's overnight fee was only two guan. She was a famous lady in Bianjing City.
In fact, the overnight fees of the ladies in Nuanyu Pavilion are not too expensive, and they mainly make money by providing supporting services.
For example, selling alcohol and services, etc.
"I really envy the servants in Lu Xiaolang's family." Zhao Xiangxiang sighed softly, and then asked: "Now that Luo Lao Da and Lu Xiaolang have met, is there a rule for my husband's illness?"
"I will bring the 'medicine' that can cure the disease tomorrow morning." Lu Sen put a bunch of lettuce leaves on the table: "Liu Tuantian's disease may worsen at night. When he feels uncomfortable, let him eat these lettuce leaves."
After saying that, Lu Sen stood up and walked out.
"Thank you, Lu Xiaolang." Zhao Xiangxiang quickly stood up to see the guest off.
Lu Sen left Nuanyu Pavilion. He did not go directly to Bianshui Street, but went to Tianbo Yang Mansion.
The afternoon sun was getting hotter and hotter, and there were fewer pedestrians.
The door to Yang's house was open, and a familiar man was drinking mung bean soup cooled with well water.
"Lu Xiaolang, we meet again!" Uncle Qi, who was guarding the gate, put down his bowl and came up to him immediately, saying enthusiastically, "You came out of Nuanyu Pavilion so soon? Did you get the news you wanted?"
"Yes." Lu Sen bowed to Uncle Qi, then handed him a bunch of juicy beans and said, "It's just that things are a bit troublesome, I would like to ask Uncle Qi for a favor."
Green beans are also kept as spare items in the system backpack.
In Kaifeng city, giving green vegetables when visiting neighbors is not considered impolite; on the contrary, it is very popular.
After all, green vegetables are expensive and can be cooked and eaten , which is both prestigious and practical.
"Sure, sure." Uncle Qi took the beans and said with a smile, "As long as I can help, Lu Xiaolang, just ask."
There is a reason why Uncle Qi is so enthusiastic.
He knew that Lu Sen was a man with supernatural powers. Such people were usually elusive and it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to establish a relationship with them. Now that the other party took the initiative to ask him for help, it was a rare opportunity to make the other party owe him a favor. As long as it was not too troublesome, he was willing to agree to it.
Secondly, Lu Sen seems to have a good relationship with his young lady, and is very likely to be the future son-in-law. When what he wants to do does not harm the interests of the Yang family, he will naturally help.
"Can you lend me a few brave men to help me stand on the street?" Lu Sen bowed and continued, "I need to talk to someone later. There are a few strong men standing behind me, so it will be more convenient for us to talk."
"This is easy to do, no problem." Uncle Qi turned his head and shouted inside: "Tiezhu, call a few idle men out, quickly."
After a while, several strong men walked out of the door.
Uncle Qi pointed at Lu Sen and said, "You will follow Lu Xiaolang and do what he tells you to do. Do you understand?"
"I know, Uncle Qi."
Several strong men agreed with a grin.
Lu Sen bowed to Lao Qi again, then led these people towards Bianshui Street.
After a while, they arrived at Bianshui Street, where Heizhu often set up a stall to sell vegetables.
There was still some time before the "meeting and delivery", so Lu Sen invited these strong men to eat tofu pudding.
Then he went to a deserted alley nearby, took the money out of the system backpack, and wrapped it in a blue cloth jacket.
After all, two strings of four hundred copper coins are very heavy and conspicuous.
He returned to the tofu pudding stall, and not long after, four beggars appeared at the end of the street, escorting Heizhu towards him.
When Lu Sen saw them, he immediately walked over with his bag.
The family soldiers of Tianbo Yang Mansion quickly followed.
The two sides faced each other on the street.
Hei Zhu's nose and face were swollen. When he saw Lu Sen, his eyes were filled with ecstasy at first, and then he immediately became excited and cried, "My dear, they are so abominable. They robbed me of all the money I earned from selling green vegetables. It's more than three hundred coins."
He cried very sadly. Three hundred coins per string was a lot of money for him.
The four beggars who were escorting him, although they had fierce looks on their faces before they came, seemed a little panicked at this moment.
On Lu Sen's side, in addition to his own extraordinary demeanor, there were also several muscular soldiers from the Yang Mansion who were holding porcelain bowls and slowly eating tofu pudding.
Each of them had a murderous look on their face. After taking a bite of tofu pudding, they looked the beggars up and down, then sneered and took another bite of tofu pudding.
Many people on the street saw this scene and knew that the evil people from Wuyou Cave were out to cause trouble again.
Some people stayed away, while the braver ones watched from a distance, and soon a big circle was formed.
"Is this young man the master of this skinny and stubborn man?" One of the beggars suppressed his uneasiness and shouted with a fist: "Our boss Luo said you are willing to spend two strings of coins and four hundred coins to redeem this servant. Have you brought the money?"
When these words were spoken, not only Heizhu was stunned, but also the Yang family's soldiers and even the onlookers were stunned.
If you go to buy a beautiful maid with flexible hands and feet now, it will cost less than three hundred coins, but this dark, thin and ugly servant costs two strings of coins and four hundred coins?
Is this man made of gold?
Suddenly there was a lot of discussion all around, with people pointing and talking.
"I brought it." Lu Sen threw the blue jacket forward and said, "Count them."
The heavy bag fell to the ground with a dull thud.
A beggar came forward and opened the blue bundle. There were indeed two strings of money and a lot of loose copper coins inside.
The beggar counted casually, put the bag on his back, and nodded to the three people behind him.
The three beggars immediately let go of Heizhu and pushed him hard.
Then the four beggars turned and left.
Heizhu stumbled, wiping his tears, and leaned towards Lu Sen.
He was crying just now because he was sad because he had run out of money from selling vegetables.
I am crying now because I am moved, very moved.
The man was willing to spend so much money to redeem me, even though I was just a lowly beggar.
Seeing Hei Zhu coming back, a family soldier was eating tofu pudding, standing next to Lu Sen, and asked in a low voice: "Lu Xiaolang, do you need us to take the things back?"
At the same time, he also made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Lu Sen shook his head: "No, I have my own plans."
He had another plan next. If he tried to snatch the bag back, there was a possibility of alerting the enemy.
The soldier shook his head regretfully and took two steps back.
He felt that Lu Xiaolang was a nice person. He did not look down on lowly soldiers like them. He was willing to buy tofu pudding to quench their thirst when they asked for help... He had seen too many big men who treated soldiers like cattle and horses.
The fact that he was willing to pay a large price to redeem his servant shows that he was extremely kind to his family.
It's just... too kind.
If it were his own lady, as soon as the hostage came back to his side, he would order the four beggars to be killed on the spot without hesitation.
Heizhu returned to Lu Sen and knelt down. He didn't know how to express his current emotions. He just cried and kept crying.
Bursting into tears.
When the people around saw that there was no more show to watch, they gradually dispersed.
Lu Sen squatted down, patted his shoulder, and said, "You go home first, do you hear me? I still have things to deal with, so I will stay in the city tonight and not go back!"
Heizhu wiped his tears and nodded.
"When we get home, we'll pick some greens to give to these heroes as a thank you gift."
The black pillar continued to nod.
Then Lu Sen stood up, clasped his fists and said to several family soldiers: "Could you please escort this useless boy of mine home?"
"You're welcome." A family soldier clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Lu Xiaolang, we will definitely send him back to the hill safely."
"Thank you for your help."
Lu Sen clasped his fists, then disappeared into the distance of the street with the crowd around him.
Heizhu stood up, wiping his eyes and walked out of the city.
Several family soldiers followed behind him.
Heizhu cried almost all the way until he returned to the foot of the hill.
The several family soldiers also remained silent along the way. No one discriminated against Heizhu or made fun of him.
The family soldiers were actually quite envious in their hearts. If they were in the family's shoes, if something happened to them, the master would be willing to pay a large price to redeem them. They would probably react similarly to this kid.
On the banks of the Bianshui River.
As time got closer to evening , the ladies started to wash and dress up and began their work.
There were a lot more pedestrians along the riverside than at noon, and most of them were rich or noble.
Lu Sen stood by the river, taking Nuan Yu Pavilion as the center, and estimated the distance to the left and right with his eyes.
Then he chose a medium-sized pleasure boat about a hundred meters away from Nuan Yu Pavilion.
Yicuifang.
After he entered, he threw down a silver ingot and said to the heavily made-up madam, "I'm going to book the top floor for one night to enjoy the night view. Is this enough money?"
"That's enough." The madam was extremely happy holding the silver ingot. "We will arrange delicious food and drinks for you. The two most beautiful girls in our neighborhood will also serve you happily. Don't worry."
Then Lu Sen appeared in the small attic on the top floor of the ship.
The service came quickly.
There was a large table filled with delicious nibbles and two jars of freshly opened apricot wine.
Lu Sen was cracking melon seeds, holding a wine glass, leaning on the railing, and looking at the busy scene by the river.
This is the river bank and also the ferry crossing.
In the gaps between the large pleasure boats, there are many small boats, carrying cargo to and fro.
The laborers, covered in sweat and with shining muscles, were shouting slogans and working hard to unload the goods, hoping to do more work to supplement their family income before darkness falls and the city gates are closed.
The dignitaries, wearing silk gowns and waving fans, happily entered the painted boat together.
There were two pretty young ladies accompanying Lu Sen.
One person was singing a little song to cheer himself up, which sounded quite nice. Another person was pouring wine beside him and feeding peeled fruits into Lu Sen's mouth.
The service was extremely attentive and Lu Sen didn't even have to move.
Moreover, the two young ladies' eyes were full of charm, and they looked at Lu Sen with very passionate expressions.
First, Lu Sen paid a lot of money, and second, Lu Sen was really handsome.
If they have romantic affairs with such patrons, they will only feel that they have gained something and will not feel embarrassed.
The evening passed in a flash, and the colorful pleasure boats, shining brightly, dispelled the darkness on the banks of the Bianshui River.
At this time, more and more dignitaries appeared beside the painting boat.
The young lady who sang the ditty was a little tired. She leaned against Lu Sen and said with a sweet smile, "Sir, it's already night, and the cold wind from the river is easy to penetrate the body. Why don't we go to the room and rest."
The other young lady next to her also had an interested look on her face.
"No hurry, wait a little longer. The night view is also beautiful." Lu Sen took another sip of apricot wine. This low-alcohol wine feels similar to beer. Let alone two jars, Lu Sen wouldn't even frown if he had two more jars.
At this time, he was lying on the railing, and with the help of the firelight, he saw many figures coming out from the river bank drainage outlet near Nuanyu Pavilion.
When these figures walked into the light, it was discovered that they were all dressed as beggars.
There are a large number of such sewage outlets along the embankment of the Bianshui River.
There are sewage entrances everywhere in the entire city of Bianjing, so the people in Wuyou Cave can use the underground sewage system to roam around and cannot be caught at all.
The beggars wandered around Nuan Yu Pavilion and even entered other pleasure boats to investigate.
Even when Lu Sen's house was a hundred meters away, beggars came in. The beggar even walked up to the attic and looked at Lu Sen, as if to see if he had any weapons. Then he smiled arrogantly and walked away.
The expressions of the two young ladies were not very happy.
"Beggars can get on the pleasure boat? It's like entering an empty space." Lu Sen asked with a smile, "Are they so crazy?"
"They are from Wuyou Cave. We have never interfered with them. They have mobilized a large force this time. I guess some big shot from Wuyou Cave is here." A young lady said helplessly.
Lu Sen leaned on the railing and continued to look at the river.
Soon, the beggars gathered together, and one beggar crawled back into the excrement.
After a while, another person came out of the cave and climbed up the river bank.
Although they were more than a hundred meters apart, Lu Sen was able to tell that the man was Boss Luo based on his body shape.
Boss Luo changed into a new set of clothes and, surrounded by beggars, walked along the river towards Nuan Yu Pavilion.
I've waited! Lu Sen smiled, stood up and said, "How about you two go down and bring me two jars of rice wine?"
The two young ladies went down together; they could not refuse the request of their wealthy patron.
After the young lady came down from the pavilion, Lu Sen took out a wooden longbow from his system backpack and drew the arrow.
The center of the red circle locked onto Boss Luo’s head.
The night wind blew, and the silks in the attic of the painted boat swayed slightly. The golden arrow brushed the edge of the silk strips, turned into a golden lightning, and disappeared in the distance.
Boss Luo was surrounded by beggars and was almost at the entrance of Nuanyu Pavilion. He grinned, revealing his yellow and black rotten teeth, and said to the beggars around him: "After I drink the first soup, I will give you the last soup, so that you can also taste what a famous sister is..."
The golden lightning, with a sound of breaking through the air, pierced Boss Luo's forehead. With a whoosh, a square-shaped arrow came out from the back of his head.
Red liquid mixed with white substance dripped from the arrowhead.
Boss Luo had no time to react and was forced back two steps by the force of the arrow. His eyes were wide open and his pupils quickly became lifeless. After standing there for a while, his body limply knelt down and finally fell to the ground on his side.
The beggars around were stunned at first, and then they all screamed.
Finally, he fled in panic, jumped off the river bank, and ran towards the sewage outlet, trying to hide back in his own underground kingdom.
This is not surprising. The beggars in Wuyou Cave are just a bunch of losers who dare to bully others by sticking together. They bully the weak and fear the strong, and have never been brave.
