Su Qingzhi guessed that the young man saw what happened in the alley, so he did this to help them out.
He was grateful, of course, but the man opposite was obviously not a good person, and Su Qingzhi was more worried that the other party would be implicated by him.
However, he never expected that the man just raised his head and glared at the young man on the second floor, warned him "Stop meddling in other people's business, little brat", and then his gaze returned to Su Qingzhi. He didn't want to care about the man upstairs at all. He was so magnanimous that he didn't show any sign of being petty as he did when he was dealing with Su Qingzhi and the other two just now because of being bumped into.
Chu Lu upstairs raised his eyebrows. He had just made a judgment, and the man's reaction at this moment further confirmed his guess. He lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing whether he should lament the luck of these young people -
“Don’t talk about people behind their backs” is a rule that really applies in any world.
Although he was not encountered by the real boss, he was caught by the opponent's subordinates... In terms of luck alone, it is not as good as the former. At least Qin Bi himself would not care about these.
But, the Northern Army? Why are they in Yuzhou?
Chu Lu's doubts could be put aside for the time being. On the other side, Su Qingzhi also realized the subtlety of the man's attitude -
Could it be that this person is... targeting him?
Then think about the amount of silver that the man had just casually reported, which they could not possibly take out, and think about his action of pushing Li Bojin and Guang Yizhu away without hesitation.
This person didn't come here for money or anything, it was obvious that he came here just for him!
Li Bojin and Guang Yizhu also noticed something unusual, and they looked at Su Qingzhi who was still sitting on the ground in unison, urging him to think quickly about when he had offended this person.
Su Qingzhi: ???
God bless him, he had never known such a person before.
and……
Did this person want to kill him just now? He definitely wanted to kill him, right? !
Su Qingzhi didn't dare to say that he was so popular that he had never offended anyone, but at most they were just small quarrels between classmates and neighbors, and it would never be to the point of costing his life.
Was that... murderous intent?
Who on earth is this person? !
When their eyes met, Su Qingzhi's previous fear was aroused and he shrank unconsciously.
But he took two deep breaths and quickly calmed down.
"This... hero," Su Qingzhi couldn't think of a way to address him, so he said this despite feeling a bit of irritation, "Is there some misunderstanding here? He and I are strangers, and we haven't even met before today, so I shouldn't have much in common with you."
"Misunderstanding?" the man asked back, his knuckles cracking, and he said in a firm tone: "There is no misunderstanding."
He gestured with his bowl-sized fist and snorted, "Boy, just obey me and let me beat you up. That's the end of the matter today..."
Before the man could finish his harsh words, there was another "splash" and a basin of cold water was poured over his head. This time it was much more thorough than before. Not only the ends of the man's hair, but even the hem of his short clothes was dripping with water.
This time the impact range was quite wide, even Su Qingzhi who was standing nearby was splashed with some.
"Fuck." The man couldn't help but curse.
He finally took his eyes off Su Qingzhi and turned to look at the young man on the second floor.
This time his expression was not as frivolous as before, but full of fierce threats.
"Boy," he squeezed out these two words from between his teeth, then gritted his teeth and said harshly, "Did you accidentally slip your hand this time?"
Chu Lu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Not to mention the basin of water this time, even for the cup of tea just now, he never said that he "accidentally slipped his hand", right?
Would she even take the initiative to find excuses for him? She was quite considerate.
After Cao Yan finished speaking, he saw the pretty boy upstairs smiling and saying casually, "Of course not."
Cao Yan, who was about to listen to his "sophisticated defense", said: "..."
……ha?
But the young man smiled and explained: "After a burn, it is better to immerse the injured area in ice water as soon as possible. If a scar is left on the face, it will not be beautiful..."
"…This matter is my fault, so I see that you are busy with your work and have no time to care about other things, so I will share your worries…"
Cao Yan: “…”
He gritted his teeth, "Then I should thank you, right?"
The young man actually lowered his eyes and head, smiling slightly, as if he were a delicate orchid or a jade tree, "No need to thank me."
……Pooh!
Cao Yan was choked by this sentence and his face turned blue. He really couldn't utter a word for a long time.
But he never expected that there would be something even more outrageous next. The other party lowered his eyes and looked at him with concern, "Since you are not busy with the things at hand at this moment, why don't you come up and treat the affected area? I have prepared ice water and am waiting for you to move over."
Cao Yan: "..."
This man is so shameless and so good at lying with his eyes open that he has never seen anything like it in his life.
And, the affected area?
Cao Yan felt the burning pain on his forehead and suspected with good reason... that the boy was secretly cursing him for being mentally ill.
So, not only did this guy openly pour water on him, but he also hinted that he should soak his brain in water?
——Good, very good, really great!!
Cao Yan sneered and was about to go upstairs.
Su Qingzhi and the other two immediately sensed the dangerous atmosphere and tried their best to wink at the young man but were ignored. Now seeing the man making a move, they had no choice but to go to both sides and try to block the alley first. They didn't really expect to stop the man, but just wanted to buy some time for the young man so that he could leave quickly.
However, I never expected that the man did not take the usual route at all. He used the unevenness of the wall next to him for leverage. I didn't see him moving at all. When I looked again, he was hanging on the eaves of the first floor, swinging, as if he could climb in through the window with a little more effort.
Su Qingzhi and the other two who had already run to the two ends of the alley: !!!
——He ran in the wrong direction! He should have been held back where he was!!
The three young men hurriedly turned back, but the young man upstairs seemed to be frightened, his eyes unfocused on the distance. After a pause, he quickly turned sideways to hide inside.
Cao Yan glanced at the slow pace of the three people who turned back, snorted with disdain, and pushed forward with his arms to flip in.
At this moment, a chilling voice suddenly came from not far behind, "Cao, ten, six!!"
Cao Yan: !!!
It’s bad. I’ve been wasting time here for too long!
The moment this thought flashed through his mind, his hands, which were pushing forward, lost their hold and he fell heavily from the second floor, shaking the ground.
Su Qingzhi and the other two who just rushed back: "..."
hiss--
It sounds painful.
Seeing that man lying motionless on the ground, the three of them looked at each other in confusion: Could he have been injured by the fall?
However, they didn't need to worry about whether to go forward or not. The middle-aged man who had spoken at the entrance of the alley had already strode up and kicked him directly, "You bastard, you know how to play dead now? What's the point?! Hurry up and get up and get out of here."
Cao Yan cried out in pain: "My legs, my legs."
The man was unmoved, and even kicked him again, then continued to scold: "You care about your leg now?! You ran so fast just now, I think you have almost recovered. Go back and discuss with Doctor Lu, how about moving you out from your injury tonight?"
The three people who were forced to watch looked at each other again. It turned out that the other party’s statement of “broken leg” was not a lie?
But then I think about it and feel confused. How could this man, who just climbed over the wall so swiftly, look like someone with a broken leg?
The three of them watched as the young man, who had just called them "Laozi" and "Ye" all the time, was now being scolded like a grandson and they did not dare to say a word in rebuttal.
They immediately showed awe to the plain-looking middle-aged man who came over. When he asked them what happened just now, they did not dare to hide a word and told him everything. I am afraid they would not be so honest even to the teacher.
Before Cao Yan could say anything, he was slapped back by the middle-aged man, who then held their heads down and apologized to them.
The three of them looked at Cao Yan's fake smile and his dry and reluctant apology, and they felt like they would have a nightmare tonight. And Su Qingzhi really wanted to know when he had offended such a person, but in the end this question could not be answered. The aura around the two men was too strong, making people tremble with fear and unconsciously forget the original question.
On the other side, after hearing the whole story, the middle-aged man wanted to take Cao Yan upstairs to apologize to the young man, but when he looked up, he saw that the window was wide open, the tea room was empty, and there was no sign of the young man.
Seeing this, Cao Yan sneered, "You are so timid..."
Before he could finish his words, he was slapped on the back of his head again, and Cao Yan shut up in embarrassment.
Su Qingzhi and the other two were inexplicably entrusted with the "task" of conveying apologies.
Yes, the mission...
The middle-aged man's expression was not fierce, nor was his tone harsh, but his words somehow had a tone of authority that could not be refuted. The three of them had never experienced such a situation before, and they agreed subconsciously without even thinking.
After the people left, he remembered that he was not familiar with the young man on the second floor.
Only after the two men's backs completely disappeared did Guang Yizhu finally remember this matter.
The three of them looked at each other.
Guang Yizhu murmured, "...There is no choice to refuse, right? Even if the teacher is responsible for the essay, there is still room for bargaining."
He thought about the tone of the middle-aged man who had turned his request into an order, and recalled the sturdy figure that could hold both of them together. He couldn't help but scratch his hair and sighed, "Just like a general."
Su Qingzhi was distracted for a moment, remembering the "murderous intent" in the man's eyes when he grabbed his collar just now.
On the other side, Li Bojin looked at his companions and suddenly said, "I have never seen these two people in the city. Are they strangers?"
After these words were spoken, the three of them couldn't help but think of the rumors about bandits that had been spreading recently.
They looked at each other for a while, and their faces turned pale for a moment.
——No way?
Not realizing that his actions almost caused the Northern Army to be labeled as bandits, Cao Yan kept looking back along the way.
He always felt that the sharp-tongued pretty boy must have not left yet and was hiding on the second floor. But he was caught now and couldn't turn back. He could only grit his teeth and remember that face in his mind.
——See you next time.
Oh.
Guan Cheng did not notice his subordinate's little thoughts for a moment.
He frowned as he recalled a figure he had vaguely glimpsed before his passing, and his brows were locked.
After a while, he suddenly spoke up and confirmed, "Just now, there was only one young man on the second floor?"
Cao Yan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously alerted: "Is there a second person there?!"
His voice tightened and cold sweat broke out on his back. He almost thought that what he did today was a trap.
Guan Cheng just frowned, "It's a person...but..."
He hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, "No, it's nothing, maybe I saw it wrong."
It's just... a little familiar.
