C15 (2/2)
The two of them took over the alley and followed it all the way. They kept asking people if the monk had passed. Finally, the two of them ran into the fat monk on their way to the National Guardian Temple. The two of them followed behind the monk and looked at him over and over again. They could see that the monk was extremely fat, and his gait was firm. Naturally, they did not panic. On their hands, they carried nothing with them.
Yang Dazhu had already started to feel scared. He said to Zou Rensheng, ”This monk is so fat. From the way he walks, he must have some astonishing skills.” If the two of us go up together, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat him. ”He didn't take anything. He doesn't seem like someone who would steal something. I think we should forget about it. Don't go and mess with him.”
Zou Rensheng smiled sinisterly, ”Fifth brother, what do you mean by that? We finally saw the fat monk, how can we forget about it? It doesn't matter if he is the monk who stole our goods or not, we will still beat him up. He's not easy to deal with, so we don't need to mess with him. ”Follow behind him and see which temple he's from. We'll have something to say when we get back.”
Hearing that, Yang Da Jing was amused, ”That's right, why didn't I think of that? ”Catching a scapegoat will at least alleviate our sins.”
Zou Rensheng continued, ”We'll go back and insist that the fat monk had a package in his hand and entered the National Protector Temple. The people from the National Guardian Temple are powerful, and we don't dare to mess with them due to our high martial arts skills. This would put the matter of capturing the monk on the hands of the soldiers and the police. We can keep our heads, it's no big deal. ”
While the two of them were making up lies, they were also overjoyed. Unknowingly, they had arrived at the entrance of the National Guardian Temple. He saw that the monk had simply entered the mountain gate.
The two looked at each other and smiled. ”He is in our favor.” This was truly a quiet and unprovoked disaster, causing all the monks of the national protection temple to suffer.
Yang Da Jing said happily, ”Third brother, we ran until we were hungry and thirsty. Let's find a restaurant to eat and drink some water first.” Zou Rensheng nodded in agreement. He turned around and pointed at the restaurant on the street and said, ”Let's go there and have a few drinks.” The two of them had a belly full of evil tricks as they headed straight for the restaurant.
As for Yuan Shikai and Liu Gonggong … The two were so angry that their minds were in a mess. There wasn't a single bodyguard remaining by their side. The two of them were anxious and angry. They wandered around the banana stand for a while, gradually calming down. There wasn't a single bodyguard around them, and both of them were nervous and terrified.
Eunuch Liu was even more nervous than Yuan Shikai. Trembling with fear, he repeatedly let his thoughts run wild, ”As the saying goes, there is no single blessing, no single misfortune. It would be even worse if they took advantage of this opportunity to assassinate someone. Not only did the restoration fail, but the President's life was gone as well. We have also become the sinner of a thousand years. I was the one who arranged for the President to come here and meet people. The thief seemed to be prepared. How did he know? ”The President has always been a treacherous person. Would he suspect that I've leaked some information and was scheming something?” The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Looking at the time, it was already noon. Jingfu should be here soon. The two were still unwilling to leave. The two of them stared at the door of the Taibai building, hoping to see the figure of the man in the well. They also looked at the passersby, afraid that the Revolutionary Party would try to assassinate them.
The two of them were anxious and nervous at one moment and extremely uneasy at the other. It was as if they were sitting on pins and needles. The two of them felt that with the old man selling bananas by their side, they would occasionally chat for a while. The two of them talked to the old man while they waited for the man to return to the well.
Unknowingly, it was already noon, but Jing Fu still hadn't come. The two of them stared intensely at the front of the Tai Bai Building. Yuan Shikai looked at his watch. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. He sighed and said to Eunuch Liu: ”Today is the last day, so Mr. Jing can't come.” How could he fail to keep his appointment? ”
He was in a hurry when a group of civilian workers with pickaxes on their shoulders came from the east. Startled, Yuan Shikai and Eunuch Liu sat beside the old man, one on each side. When the old man saw them and panicked, he said, ”These people are laborers. They came here to eat at the Taibai Restaurant. They're building a house to the east. ”
Hearing this, the two of them felt at ease.
The old man had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that the six of them were still not back from chasing the monk, he felt very hungry and wanted to pack up and go home. He stood up and looked around for a while. ”This old man is unlucky today. The bananas are wasted, and I don't have any money left,” he said to himself.
He turned around and picked up the bananas that had been thrown on the ground. As he put them into the basket, he sighed and said, ”Forget it. This old man thinks he's unlucky.” He cleaned up the stall, said nothing, picked up the basket, and took a stool home. Yuan Shikai and Eunuch Liu were the only ones left, the two of them instantly felt lonely and bored. Facing the market of Xiao Lang, the two were truly lonely.
They waited again. Yuan Shikai was tired. He lowered his head. In a trance, he felt a knife stabbing him from behind. In front of him was a group of Revolutionary Parties with pitch-black guns pointed at him. Someone even threatened him, ”Yuan Shikai, I didn't expect you to end up in our hands today.” Startled, Yuan Shikai looked up and around. Only when he saw nothing did he realize that he had just dozed off and was dreaming. He was afraid that the dream would become a reality so he got up and said, ”We can't wait any longer. Quickly find a car and go back.
