Towards evening they arrived in the town of BulongjiThere was only one large inn in the town, outside of which was planted the flag of the Zhen Yuan Bodyguard AgencyWith two large groups to look after, the inn's servants were very busy
Lu had a wash, and then strolled into the courtyard of the inn with a cup of tea in his handIn the dining hall, he saw two tables full of agency men drinking and talking loudlyThe lead escort with the Five Element Wheels had put the weapons down but kept the red knapsack on his back
Taking a sip of tea, Lu gazed up at the sky
One of the lead escorts laughed"Brother Yan, once you've delivered this toy to Beijing, General Zhao will reward you with at least a thousand, won't he? You can go and have a good time with that girlfriend of yours, Xibao
So it really is one of the Yan brothers, Lu thought, and paid even closer attention to what replica chanel handbag was said
"A reward?" said Yan"Ha! Well, everyone will get something
"Your Xibao has probably gone off with some other man willing to make an honest woman of her," added an effeminate voiceLu looked over out of the corner of his eye, and saw a man with a sly face and a slight figure, also dressed as a lead escort
Yan grunted, obviously not pleased
"You bastard, Tong," added the first lead escort"You never have anything good to say"But Brother Yan, fun is fun and serious is seriousDon't think about Xibao too much or you might find someone has stolen that red knapsack off your backIt's not important if lose your head or not, but the agency's reputation has to be maintained
"Don't worry," Yan replied angrily"If those Muslims try stealing it back, I'll soon put an end to their nonsenseI am one of the Six Guandong Devils and I got where I am with real kung fu, not like some new prada replica handbags of the weaklings in the bodyguard agencies these days who can do nothing but eat and fart!"
Lu looked at the red knapsack on Yan's back: it wasn't big, and from the look of it, whatever was inside was very light
"It's true that the Six Devils of Guandong are famous," Tong said"It's a pity that Brother Jiao was done inWe don't even know who the murderer was
Yan banged the table"Who says we don't know? It has to be the Red Flower Society!"
That's strange, Lu thought, I killed JiaoWhat is this Red Flower Society? He walked slowly around the courtyard inspecting the flowers, moving closer to the group of lead escorts
Tong would not let the matter drop"It's a pity," he said"If I wasn't such a weakling, I would have settled things with the Red Flower Society long ago
Yan shook with angerOne of the other lead escorts broke in to mediate: "Anyway, the Red Flower Society's rolex replica watch leader died last month," he said"They've lost their man in command, so who is there to settle with? And another thing, where is the proof that Jiao was murdered by the Red Flower Society? When you find them and they deny the charge, what are you going to do?"
"Yes," said Tong changing his tack"We daren't provoke them, but surely we've got enough guts to bully a few MuslimsThis little toy we've snatched is as precious to them as life itselfIn the future, if General Zhao ever wants money from them, or cattle and sheep, do you think they'd dare to refuse? I tell you Yan, stop thinking about that little Xibao of yoursWhen we get back to Beijing, you should ask General Zhao to give you a little Muslim girl to be your mistress
Before he could finish, a piece of mud brick flew out of nowhere and lodged itself in his mouthTwo of the other lead escorts snatched up their weapons and cheap chanel bags for sale rushed outside while Yan picked up his Five Element Wheels and looked warily aroundHis younger brother came running in, and both stood together, not daring to move for fear of falling into some trapTong spat out the piece of mud and began swearing
The two other lead escorts, Tai and Qian, rushed in through the door"The little bastard's gone," one of them said"There's no sign of him
Lu had observed the whole incident and laughed inwardly at the helpless expression on Tong's faceThen he saw a shadow darting across the rafters in a corner of the dining hall, and went slowly outsideIt was already growing dark, but he spotted a figure leap off the corner of the roof, land noiselessly, and speed off eastwards
Lu wanted to know who had treated Tong to a mouthful of mud and, making use of Lightness Kung Fu * (* a type of kung fu that makes extra-fast running and super-human leaps cartier santos white poss |
