The private room of Mingtan and the others is in a good location, specially reserved by Shopkeeper Zou, and it happens to be in the very center of the teahouse.The charcoal basin in the corner of the room was burning brightly, making the whole room warm and cozy. In addition, because of the lack of wind today, it was not too cold even with the windows open. It was just right to have a cup of hot tea.

The second floor is not too high. Looking down through the window, you can just see people walking towards the gate; there is a faint sound of crackling allegro downstairs, probably the shopkeeper Zou specially invited him to celebrate the New Year. Finding a master who talks about cross talk can make everyone happy.

"It's really lively," Ming Tan glanced out of the window, and said with emotion, "The situation of the teahouse is better than I imagined, thanks to the Tianming Chamber of Commerce's help in spreading the reputation."

"The eldest princess son-in-law is a capable person." Lin Shurong put down the teacup and said with a smile, "With him willing to help, your business will surely go smoothly and prosper."

Ming Tan propped his chin with one hand, nodded, his gaze lazily swept across the sparkling charcoal basin, just when he felt a little bored, he suddenly heard loud applause coming from outside the window.

She blinked and poked her head out with interest, only to see a wall of people surrounded by three floors on the opposite side of the street, which was tightly blocked, and she didn't know what was going on inside. The bursts of laughter and applause are really heart-scratching.

Ming Tan didn't have much interest in drinking tea, and now he was even more bored and panicked.Seeing that there was so much excitement in that room, she immediately couldn't sit still, leaned over with her hands on the table, leaned over to Lin Shurong, winked at her, and suggested, "Qingqing, let's go see it too." Shall I see?"

"...Maybe it's a juggling show, it's nothing unusual." Seeing her eager face, Lin Shurong also glanced at her, looking not very interested, "You are a martial arts practitioner yourself, so you are also impressed by these things. interest?"

As early as the leader took over the imperial army, Ming Tan began to occasionally practice martial arts with Lin Shurong or Geng Jinglin Xun, and he had some basic skills; and since the autumn hunt, after the horse went crazy and was almost in danger, the emperor also followed Ming Tan's attention. For the issue of martial arts education, she was specially given permission to practice martial arts, so that the nine princesses could also learn martial arts with martial arts teachers openly like other princes.

Having personally experienced a life-and-death situation, Lin Shurong was almost implicated by himself—after the autumn hunt, Ming Tan's enthusiasm for martial arts training was obviously much higher than before. Not the same.

Up to now, although he can't be regarded as a master, he can still be called a master of kung fu, far surpassing those jugglers in the rivers and lakes, so why is there any need to join in the fun?

She can play both hands at will.

"Oh, it's one thing to be able to do it yourself, and another thing to watch others perform. How can this be confused?"

Ming Tan shook his head like a rattle, and argued rationally: "Moreover! You see so many people are watching, it must be more interesting to do ordinary juggling!" She moved to Lin Shurong's side, grabbed the latter's arm, She swayed back and forth coquettishly, "Qingqing——I asked shopkeeper Zou to keep the private room, and I can continue to drink your tea when I come back later. Why don't you accompany me to have a look—"

"..."

Lin Shurong sighed, almost immediately defeated by the opponent's attack, looked at Ming Tan helplessly, and nodded slightly as a compromise.

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

"Great!"

Ming Tan was overjoyed, grabbed her hand, and made a promise as he walked out of the house: "I'll go and tell shopkeeper Zou in a while, don't attract guests to our private room, and never let anyone touch yours." Tea!"

After hearing the other party's swearing assurance, Lin Shurong paused slightly, looked back at the half of the tea in his eyes with complicated eyes, and couldn't explain it in his heart.

Going around outside and coming back, the tea is probably frozen into ice cubes, so what's the use of keeping it?

Clearing the heat and lowering the fire?

……

The scene that can be seen outside the window of the teahouse is of course not far away, only a few steps away.

However, when Ming Tan dragged Lin Shurong to the edge of the human wall, there were still more people onlookers than before. They were so densely packed in front that they couldn't see what was going on. They could only hear the voice of a young woman coming from inside. Qiao Shengsheng heard it, and immediately dispelled the buzzing noise around him.

"...We brothers and sisters have traveled here, thank you all the fathers and folks in the capital for your kindness! I also ask everyone who has money to give money, and those who don't have money to give a personal place-hey, thank you, son, I wish you a New Year's Eve Congratulations, prosperity and blessings!"

Just at this time, the pair of brothers in front seemed to have had enough of the show, and turned away contentedly.Ming Tan saw the opportunity, dragged Lin Shurong to the front row twice, and finally got a clear view of the scene among the crowd.

Sure enough, as Lin Shurong expected, it was a group of wanderers who were juggling.There were four men and women among them, and the youngest girl was the one who spoke out just now. She was wearing a big red coat, holding a pottery bowl full of bounty money, and she was speaking auspicious words to the people around her with a smile on her face.

Behind her, there are two men and a woman who are juggling.The older man had a beard and a handsome figure, and a thick stone slab was placed horizontally on top of the high bricks in front of him.In the next second, he yelled loudly, and using his palm as a knife, he slashed down on the stone slab, and with a "slap", the slab broke from it, attracting applause.

On the side, the younger man has a cleaner face and is much thinner than the former. With several stacked porcelain bowls on his head, he still walks freely and steadily, and can even stretch his arms and kick Legs; several times, the bowl seemed to have almost fallen, but he rearranged it miraculously, causing the crowd to be agitated, and there were bursts of exclamations from time to time.

Apart from these two people, the most worth mentioning is the slender and delicate woman who is left - she looks older than the girl shouting for rewards, holding two small bamboo sticks in each hand, with a A five-foot-long multicolored cotton rope supported a wooden two-wheeled diabolo, which slid rapidly on the cotton thread, buzzing and whistling, and was shaken and flipped by the woman from time to time, thrown into the sky, and then a few "" "Flying swallows into the clouds", "ringing pigeon bells" and other fancy tricks, and then firmly connected back to the rope, the skills are superb, as if they are dancing, people can't help but sprinkle most of the rewards with their hands, which is very high cheers.

"Good! The girl is amazing!"

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful diabolo in the capital. Without a foundation of five or eight years, I'm afraid it's impossible to make so many tricks..."

"That's right, these four people have a lot of real skills, and they deserve a reward!"

The girl holding the bowl was pretty, she smiled like a sunflower, and said to the other party sweetly: "Thank you, big brother, you really have eyesight! My brothers and sisters have been practicing skills since childhood." , Kung Fu is very skilled, and it is worthwhile to please everyone!"

As soon as the words fell, the second brother who was holding the bowl jumped up, and the pile of porcelain bowls fell down one by one with a "crash", and they were still firmly on the opponent's head, making a clear and crisp sound when they collided.

"Wow, yes!"

Ming Tan let out an exclamation, and casually took out a piece of broken silver from his purse, and with a wave of his hand from a long distance, he threw it into the pretty girl's pottery bowl with precision, making a crisp sound of "dangling".

The girl was startled, and suddenly raised her head to look in the direction where the silver was flying, but turned out to be facing Mingtan's smiling expression, she blushed for some reason, and hurriedly cupped her hands at the latter, "Thank you, miss, for the reward of silver!"

Ming Tan waved at her, and wanted to answer a word, but the frowning Lin Shurong grabbed his wrist, glanced lightly, and immediately died down.

"Cough." Ming Tan scratched Lin Shurong's palm with his fingertips, and smiled beggingly, "Watch the show, watch the show, don't fly around and get jealous, Qingqing."

The latter didn't speak, but the force on her wrist became more threatening, and Ming Tan was so frightened that he quickly stopped and stood at attention, "I was wrong, I was wrong! You must not pay back the New Year's Eve!" Punish me to be a mock book!"

"Hmm." Lin Shurong bent his eyes and smiled, "It depends on your performance."

Ming Tan: "..."

Don't ask, asking is to save face for your wife, not because you are afraid of asking questions!

While the two of them were talking a few words, the juggling of the four siblings also came to an end temporarily.The one who split the boulder stood up, the one who held the bowl took down the bowl and put it away, and the woman shaking the diabolo vibrated the rope, and the wheel spun high into the sky, and she caught it firmly with one hand, bowed her head towards the The onlookers bowed and said, "Thank you folks and elders for coming to support us."

"Not bad! The girl is so handsome!"

"That bearded brother is not bad, but he has a lot of strength, and he can even break such a thick stone slab with one palm!"

"In my opinion, the guy who counts the bowls is the best! I was scared to death when he took off just now, but he didn't even drop a bowl. Really good skill!"

All kinds of compliments came from the crowd, and the rewards in the bowl were also very rich. The four brothers and sisters looked at each other, all showing satisfied and happy smiles, and looked warmly at the girl who had just begged for rewards for them.

The third sister who was shaking the diabolo stretched out her hand, patted her younger sister's head, and said softly, "Thank you Yinger."

The little girl named Yinger hurriedly shook her head, stuffed the pottery bowl into the hands of the third sister, and said with a smile: "Yinger has no possessions, just help to collect a reward, what's the trouble? Brothers and sisters today After a whole day of hard work, you must be exhausted, but you need to eat a good meal!"

I did earn a lot today, so I should reward myself.The eldest brother and the second brother looked at each other, both of them smiled and agreed with the younger sister's suggestion, and when they were about to bid farewell to the audience, they suddenly heard an inexplicable noise from outside, which made their movements stop for a moment——

Immediately afterwards, a male voice with a malevolent tone came from the other side, shouting: "Yu Ying! You little bastard. Hoof, you have been caught by me after running so far, right? Get out quickly!"

After hearing this voice, Yu Ying's originally happy expression suddenly changed, and she almost reflexively hid behind the third sister; Behind him, he stared at the direction of the sound as if facing a formidable enemy, his face was so pale that it was frightening.

"What's the matter, the enemy seeks revenge?"

Ming Tan was stunned for a moment, then looked around, and saw that the crowd over there had been pushed away, and a big, thick, black-faced man walked out of it, followed by four thugs, and the battle was very threatening.

Walking closer, seeing Yu Ying hiding behind the three of them, he immediately showed a ferocious smile, and said maliciously: "Hmph, Yu Ying, your father has already sold you to Chunhonglou with his own hands, and you have a legal status. The documents are all there, so if you run, where can you go?"

"Chunhonglou" can be known from the name, and it must be the place of Huajie and Liuxiang.Everyone looked at Yu Ying's pretty face, and then thought of what the big man said, they immediately looked around and started whispering.

"Chunhonglou, I seem to have heard of this name before, it should be the biggest brothel in Louzhou?"

"Tsk tsk, it turns out that she is a seductive woman who has fled... She must have been approached by the master's house, bah, what a shame!"

"Hey, stupid scholar over there, are you stupid? Didn't you hear what that black face said? It was clearly the girl's father who sold her to the kiln. It wasn't someone who sold her body voluntarily! Her father really Lost all conscience!"

"That's right, which innocent woman is willing to become prostitute? If it were you, wouldn't you run away? Don't stand and talk without back pain!"

"Look at that big man, he's so vicious, he must not be messed with, and there are a few people behind him... Sigh, I don't know if the three brothers and sisters can protect the little sister well..."

Amidst the various opinions, Yu Ying had already plucked up her courage and walked out from behind her third sister, pleading in a trembling voice: "I didn't draw a bond on the sale contract at all, it was all my father's own idea! According to the law of this dynasty, there is no charge for the contract In order to be invalid, I am not from your Chunhonglou at all, so don't think about arresting me like this!"

"If you don't draw bets, you don't have to draw bets, so what! After I tie you back to Louzhou, how many bets do you want to draw? Isn't it just a matter of talking?"

The black-faced man grinned, narrowed his eyes, stared at the third sister standing in front of Yu Ying, and smacked his lips obscenely, "And this beautiful woman... the world is so hard, why don't you become a girl in our Chunhong Building?" ? You can get a lot of money just by serving men every day, so why not do it..."

"Fuck!" The third sister frowned coldly, and spat at him, "Hurry up and get out! We will never let you take Ying'er away!"

The bearded brother also took a step forward, protecting the two younger sisters behind him, frowning tightly, and threatened in a deep voice: "Even though the Chunhong Mansion is the property of Louzhou, it is now in the capital! Do you still dare to act presumptuously at the feet of the emperor?" , Is it impossible to rob a good citizen girl in the street?!"

"Hahahaha, where did you come from a good citizen girl? I was ordered by Mother Lu to find the girl who fled in the building. Is it against the law of which family?" The big man smiled grimly, "If you are sensible, Hurry up and hand him over, the brothers in the province will do it!"

"You are dreaming!"

"Okay, okay, I really don't cry without seeing the coffin!"

The big man suddenly darkened his face, waved his hand, and shouted angrily: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and fuck me—"

As soon as the words fell, the thugs behind him moved when they heard the sound, rolled up their sleeves, and rushed straight in the direction of the four brothers and sisters!

The surrounding audience screamed in alarm, retreated like a tide, and watched several people fight together, but no one dared to step forward to help, for fear that the innocence would affect themselves.

"Oh!"

"Big brother!"

"Little sister! Quickly hide behind!"

Those brothers and sisters are nothing more than jugglers who walk around the rivers and lakes. In fact, they don't have much martial arts skills. Fortunately, the bearded brother was born with a lot of strength. Brute force restrained them.

Behind him, the second elder brother also gritted his teeth, bent down and picked up the porcelain bowl at his feet, and smashed it at the face of the thug, causing the thugs to scatter, temporarily blocking the opponent's footsteps; the third sister next to him did the same. With a dexterous figure, she first avoided the enemy's big hand grabbing at her, and then seized the opportunity, stretched out her toes to hook the colored rope and diabolo that had just been thrown on the ground, and flung them out skillfully, just wrapping around the thug's ankle , let him fall hard into the mud.

This time, the four thugs were all blocked by the brothers and sisters, and no one could take half a step forward.

Yu Ying just breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, before she could relax, a black hand suddenly stretched out from behind, grabbed the front of the former's clothes, and dragged her out of the original safe zone——

"what!"

"Ying'er!"

The third sister turned her head sharply, only to see the black-faced man laughing ferociously, his face trembling wildly, grabbing the panic-stricken Yu Ying with one hand, like he was carrying a helpless bird, He raised his head provocatively at the other party.

"Chunhonglou has one of the best positions in Louzhou. I advise you people who are wandering around the rivers and lakes to be more sensible and don't fight us again!" There's nowhere to—"

Before he finished threatening, the big man suddenly felt his elbow being pinched from behind. Before he could react, his whole arm went numb, and he unconsciously let go of Yu Ying in his hand!

And the next second, he felt a strong force coming from his waist, and he was kicked off guard and fell to the ground in an instant. The thugs are still in a mess, with dirty plaster all over their mouths.

"Huh. What kind of broken building that is not well known, dares to send people to rob women in the street. Do you really think that no one in my capital can control you?"

The beautiful girl in a snow-white cloak withdrew her feet, patted the dust on her skirt, glanced condescendingly at the groaning man, and said coldly: "She is still a good citizen without a bond, and she is still subject to the law of heaven." An innocent woman who is not recognized by the law—no matter whether you Chunhonglou is in Louzhou or in the ends of the earth, you must strictly abide by the rules set by this dynasty—those who dare to make trouble in the street should be sent to Shuntianfu Prison to wait for justice Penalty!"

Her words were resounding, and finally woke up the onlookers who were stunned by this series of events.People glanced at each other, and began to echo angrily: "This girl is right! Take these villains to Shuntian Mansion quickly, and let the lord of the government judge the case truthfully!"

"What are you still doing? Isn't the forbidden army patrolling the city? Go and call someone!"

"Hey, this girl is actually a trainer? It's unbelievable that she can knock down a man of that size with one kick..."

"My God, you still have time to worry about this? Come here and help subdue those thugs!"

After all, the people in the capital are quite old-fashioned and warm-hearted. Seeing someone who took the lead and stepped forward, they all rushed forward as if they were encouraged, and helped the three brothers and sisters subdue the thugs to the ground.During the period, many people secretly kicked a few times, and cursed bitterly: "It's really a bear's heart and a leopard's guts, dare to make trouble at the emperor's feet, wait for the prison meal!"

At the same time, the black-faced man finally got up from the ground, limped and turned to Ming Tan who was holding Yu Ying behind him, with a fierce look in his eyes, "Mind your own business—!"

He bared his teeth and claws to rush towards the two girls, Yu Ying screamed in fright, and quickly grabbed Ming Tan's arm.

"Girl! Get out of here!"

"Oh, what are you panicking about?"

The girl in white was still there, she didn't even bother to raise her eyelids, "Just watch, don't be afraid."

Sure enough, the moment her voice fell to the ground, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, pinched the big man's arm precisely, and bent it at an abnormal angle with a "click".

"Ow!!!"

The big man's movements froze suddenly, he screamed in pain, cold sweat flowed all over his face almost instantly, mixed with the mud that hadn't been spit out from his mouth, he was actually a hundred times more sloppy than before.

Ming Tan hid back disgustedly, looked at Lin Shurong who had broken the big man's arm, his expression instantly became reverent, and applauded with applause: "Qingqing! Yes!"

Lin Shurong let go of his hand, and the big man fell to the ground, still howling.She took out the handkerchief and wiped it disgustingly, looked up at Ming Tan who was staring at Zheng Xingxing, her expression paused, she couldn't help laughing, and shook her head helplessly.

This Highness really makes people unable to get annoyed with her...

After such a short while, the five rioters were all suppressed, and the scene became stable again.

The third sister looked flustered, and hurriedly got away from the enthusiastic people, ran to Yu Ying's side, hugged her younger sister tightly in her arms, reached out to wipe her tears, and coaxed distressedly: "Okay Yinger, it's okay no, don't cry..."

Yu Ying was terribly frightened, and was terribly frightened. She was still trembling slightly, but she managed to calm down. She patted the back of Third Sister's hand to indicate that she was fine, turned around, and gave Rong Tan a deep blessing. Li, "Many...thank you two girls for your help..."

"It's easy to do." Ming Tan waved his hand and said kindly, "This man doesn't know martial arts, it's not difficult for me to subdue him, as long as Miss Yu hasn't been injured."

Yu Ying took a deep breath, smiled gratefully, and was about to continue to say something, but there was a majestic shout from the outside, which made the originally noisy scene quiet for a moment——

"The forbidden army is here, who is causing trouble?"

The crowd gave way one after another, revealing the young commander in brown light armor, explaining in a hurry: "My lord, these are the criminals who are so bold that they dare to rob civilian girls in the street! Fortunately, they have been captured by those two girls now." Subdued with me, please quickly take him to Shuntian Mansion, and put him in their prison!"

Lin Xun lowered his head, looked at the thugs whose faces were swollen like pig faces, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

This uniform is really thorough enough...

After listening to the people's words, he raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and just wanted to see who the two girls who beat up the murderer were, but he never thought that they would meet Ming Tan who was smiling and waving at him——

Seeing the superior leader under such circumstances, Lin Xun was stunned and didn't react at all, so he subconsciously stammered, "Nine, nine, nine...His Highness Nine...?"

Lin Shurong: "...?"

Ming Tan: "......???!!!"

The smile on the corners of Ming Tan's lips froze immediately, and his hand seemed to have been hammered with nails, and it froze in mid-air.

Lin Xun!younger brother!Commander Lin!

Do you even know what you just yelled—!
