PNB Chapter 150: Teahouse Assassination
Chapter 150: Teahouse Assassination
Nanyuan Teahouse is bustling with the aroma of tea and the presence of many people.
The waiter had sharp eyes and saw Yan Wang Li Zeqi stepping into the teahouse from afar, and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness Prince Yan, you are here. Please come in quickly."
The waiter greeted warmly and skillfully led Yan Wang Li Zeqi through the bustling crowd and straight to the VIP seat.
This place has an excellent view and is facing the stage, making it a great location for watching a show.
The shopkeeper was very skillful. He set up the tables and chairs, and brought a pot of freshly brewed tea. The air was filled with the aroma of tea!
"Are there any new snacks recently?" Li Zeqi asked.
The sound is steady, magnetic and clear.
Upon hearing this, the waiter came forward attentively and replied with a smile on his face, "Your Highness, our teahouse has recently launched a new product, the Hibiscus Pastry, which has a crispy outer skin and a delicate and sweet filling that melts in your mouth; the Osmanthus Cake is soft and delicious, with a light osmanthus fragrance, and is most suitable for tasting with this fragrant tea."
"In addition, there is almond cheese, which has a rich and mellow taste that will definitely leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste."
Li Zeqi's eyes were as clear as water, full of doting, and he looked at Mu Lanfeng gently.
Then, he whispered with his red lips, "It sounds good. Bring me some to try."
He looks relaxed and composed, and his every move exudes innate nobility and composure!
The waiter received the order and ran to the kitchen quickly.
After a while, several plates of exquisite snacks were brought up. They were attractive in color and fragrant, and intertwined with the fragrance of tea in the teahouse, adding a bit of elegance.
Li Zeqi picked up a piece of hibiscus cake and handed it to Mu Lanfeng with a smile on his face, "Come, try it."
Mu Lanfeng's cheeks flushed, and she naturally reached out her hand, took the hibiscus pastry, put it in her mouth and tasted it.
It is sweet but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and paired with fragrant tea, the taste is just right!
At this time, the sound of gongs and drums on the stage gradually became louder and louder from far away, with an exciting rhythm, as if awakening a sleeping story.
Immediately afterwards, the play "The Story of the Thorny Hairpin" began.
Mu Lanfeng frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
She has never liked this play. In her opinion, this play praising the fidelity of love is too sentimental and lacks some heroism and freedom!
Relatively speaking, she likes dramas like "Mu Guiying Takes Command", in which women are heroic, brave and resourceful, fighting bravely to defend their country and protecting their families. Women are as good as men, and that is truly admirable!
But her favorite is the refreshments here!
The sweet taste spread on her tongue, making her feel happy.
Li Zeqi noticed her mood change, smiled slightly, and asked softly: "Why, don't you like this play?"
Mu Lanfeng nodded, "I prefer the refreshments here!"
Li Zeqi looked at her lovingly and shook his head helplessly.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared like a ghost in the dark night, waving the sword in his hand and stabbing towards Li Zeqi like lightning.
The sword is sharp and carries with it a murderous aura, which is frightening!
Facing the long sword that was coming at him like lightning, Li Zeqi's eyes became stern and all his aura burst out instantly.
His body was like a taut bowstring, and at the critical moment he dodged sideways at incredible speed.
The black-clothed man's sword almost brushed past his robe, and the sharp wind from the sword lifted up the corner of his robe.
While dodging, Li Zeqi quickly drew the sword from his waist. With a turn of his wrist, the blade drew an arc in the air and blocked the black shadow's sword.
There was a crisp "clang" sound, sparks flew, and the powerful impact caused the black-clad man's sword to deflect slightly.
In an instant, the teahouse was in chaos, and the guests who were originally leisurely sipping tea and watching the show fled in panic.
Screams and shouts came one after another.
The tables and chairs were knocked all over the place by the panicked crowd, and teacups and teapots fell to the ground, making crisp cracking sounds.
There was no trace of panic on his face, but instead he showed calmness and composure.
Immediately afterwards, two more masked men in black appeared like ghosts, waving swords and rushing towards Li Zeqi with great momentum, making the situation even more critical.
At this moment, Mu Lanfeng reacted quickly, raised her jade hand and pulled out the long whip.
Just like a nimble fire snake, it draws a dazzling arc in the air.
Mu Lanfeng gave a delicate shout, and with a whistling sound, she swung her long whip hard at one of the masked men in black.
Wherever the long whip passed, the air seemed to be cut apart.
The masked man hurriedly swung his sword to block, but the whip was extremely flexible. It circled around the sword and slammed the masked man's arm. The masked man felt pain and the sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Mu Lanfeng did not hesitate. He shook his wrist lightly and the long whip attacked the other masked man again like lightning.
These assassins will never be allowed to harm Li Zeqi in the slightest.
The petite figure stands out in the chaos!
The two men cooperated in perfect harmony, one with a sharp sword and the other with a nimble whip, making it difficult for the assassins to resist.
The long whip wrapped around an assassin's sword like a spirit snake. Li Zeqi took the opportunity to stab with the sword. The assassin dodged quickly, but revealed a flaw.
Mu Lanfeng took the opportunity to whip the assassin, who fell to the ground in pain.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassin decided to retreat.
In the chaos, a man fled in panic. The assassin swung his sword at him, and the man staggered back, about to be stabbed by the assassin's sword.
Li Zeqi rushed out like lightning and pulled the man away.
At this moment, an assassin seized the opportunity and stabbed Li He with a sword.
Unable to dodge in time, Li Zeqi's arm was scratched by the assassin's sword.
He swung his sword, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and ended the life of the man in black with one sword!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other two people fled.
Li Zeqi was wearing a black robe, and blood gushed out instantly, soaking his robe. The wound was very deep, and blood kept flowing out.
Seeing this, Mu Lanfeng's heart suddenly tightened. He immediately rushed to Li Zeqi's side, staring at Li Zeqi's wound, his voice trembling slightly: "How are you? Why are you so careless!"
Li Zeqi showed a faint smile on his face: "It's okay, just a minor injury."
Mu Lanfeng hurriedly tore off a piece of cloth from the edge of her skirt and bandaged Li Zeqi's wound to stop the bleeding.
When she bandaged the wound for the last time, she felt worried and angry, and she used more force on purpose.
Li Zeqi frowned slightly and dared not say a word.
"I'm teaching you a lesson. Let's see if you'll remember it in the future?" Mu Lanfeng said angrily.
Seeing Mu Lanfeng's angry look, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He said softly: "I know I was wrong. I will be more careful next time!"
Mu Lanfeng glared at him and said, "You'd better remember this. If you disregard your own safety like this again next time, I will no longer care about you!"
After saying that, his gaze fell on Li Zeqi's injured arm again, his eyes full of heartache.
Peace returned to the teahouse, and the sound of gongs and drums could be heard again on the stage. This time, the play was "Mulian Saves His Mother".
