The guards who were driving the car had not yet answered, but they could hear a light bird cry coming from the direction of the manor, three long and two short, which was particularly crisp in the silent mountains and forests. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing the direction of the bird's cry, the guard respectfully replied to Old Man Zhou's words: "I can't go back, my companion warns, I have seen the enemy situation in the manor, and now I have probably handed it over." The only way to get your family out of the land of right and wrong is to avoid complications. ”

The family motto and the portrait of the ancestor were wrapped in an oiled paper bag, and it fell on the manor. Old Man Zhou pinched his thighs angrily, not knowing what to do, and only secretly prayed not to fall into the hands of others.

The horse's hooves were obtained, and they crossed through the mountains and forests, and soon went on the official road.

After walking along the official road for a while, it is a tea shop with gray tiles and red walls, and most people from the south and north stop here. The driver drove the carriage straight into the backyard, and asked Mr. Zhou's family to come down and rest for a while.

When he came out again, he was not riding the galloping carriage of Fang Cai, but replaced by two Zhu Ying carriages with dark paint and flat roofs, and the mark of the old mansion was hung on the front wheel.

The guards changed into green shirts, typical of house slave attire. The two carriages bearing the imprint of the old mansion were not in a hurry, and slowly drove towards the city along the official road, all the way unimpeded.

After going around in circles, Old Man Zhou's family turned back to the imperial city and lived in a house not far from Qingyang Tower. The courtyard with black tiles and gray bricks, and the courtyard with two entrances and three rooms, are the most common behaviors of wealthy people.

Settled here, on the bluestone mottled plaque at the gate, is the word "Mengfu" with outdated handwriting, which has been mentioned for some years. Xiao Luochen did everything properly, he had already found this place, ordered someone to properly settle Old Man Zhou's family, and left a secret guard to guard it firmly.

In Pingqiao Village, the rest of the people in Xiu dealt with the aftermath, and Xiao Luochen himself wanted to check the house again to see if there were any omissions.

Su Guangfu's people were not vegetarians, they divided into two routes, all the way to Pingqiao Village along the house title deed, one by one to inquire about the family surnamed Zhou; the other team heard that Zhou Ruosu went out, and they tracked all the way, and also chased them to Pingqiao Village, but they lost the traces of the carriage.

Two miles and one place, as soon as the news is summarized, and then carefully investigated, the residence and feet will find this place.

The second elder of the Zhou family left only a pillar of incense, Xiao Luochen finished searching the backyard, and before he could turn to the front yard, he heard a crisp bird cry from the trees outside.

It was the information that the guards who stayed at the entrance of the village had found the enemy's whereabouts, and they opened their mouths to warn them from a distance.

The other party came so quickly, seeing that the front yard was too late to search, Xiao Luochen secretly said that he was lucky, fortunately, he transferred the person a quarter of an hour earlier. He made a quick gesture, and everyone hid in the shadows, just waiting for the other to come to the door.

After a while, sure enough, more than a dozen black-clothed people came to this place, and one of them gently knocked on the firewood and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is the old man Zhou's mansion in the dare department?" ”

After knocking several times, no one answered, and the black-clothed people knew that something was wrong, and pushed open the door with a squeak.

The leader was dressed in black and masked, revealing only two sharp eyes, and led everyone to step into the courtyard cautiously, and his eyes swept over the quiet courtyard.

The courtyard was empty. In the yard, there were freshly washed clothes on the clothesline, swaying gently in the early summer wind, and the man in black tried it with his hand, but the clothes were still half-dry.

There are a few vegetable patches in the yard, some melons, fruits and beans are planted, and a few hens are looking for food on their own, pacing leisurely. The scene of a farmhouse is only half a figure gone.

The man in black frowned and made his way to the kitchen. One of them picked up the rice basket on the stove and showed it to the man at the head: "Old man, the rice has not been put into the pot, and there is still half a dustpan of green vegetables." Apparently the host's house left in a hurry. They are old, weak, women and children who can't walk fast, so let's chase them. ”

The leader knew that he was one step too late, and sighed in pity. Walking through the front yard and the back yard slightly, he saw that there were traces of ruts at the back door, so he instructed his subordinates to chase along the path of the back door, and instructed a few words: "Don't hurt people's lives, and take it back and discuss it when the restoration prince returns." ”

The back door has long been guarded by Xiao Luochen here, opening a big net to lure and replenish it, wanting to catch a few small fish, just waiting for these people to show their heads at the moment.

The people around Su Guangfu are also elite, and their ability to perceive danger is outstanding, and they found out that something was wrong as soon as they left the back door. When they were about to retreat inward, a large net fell from the tree, and two of them could not dodge, so they were caught in the center, touched the motive, and hung on the tree.

The remaining few people escorted the leader back into the courtyard, and went to seize the opportunity of the front door, not wanting to have a life-and-death fight, but just wanting to evacuate first and hand out the news.

Xiao Luochen naturally didn't give them this opportunity, and the people who had already left Xiu had copied the bread before, killed the two accomplices of the group of black-clothed people who stayed outside the door to guard the horses, and closed the door of the front yard tightly.

The other party saw that there was an ambush in front and behind, and he couldn't get out for a while, so he simply occupied the small courtyard connected to the well in the kitchen and confronted Xiao Luochen's people.

The leader of the man in black lifted his breath and hung up, and climbed on the kitchen beam with a light leap, trying to look high and looking for a way out.

At this moment, a ray of sunlight slanted up the well platform, reflecting the clean surface of the water, and there was a pothole in the smooth inner wall of the well, which was falling into the sight of the leader.

The dark grid that Old Man Zhou cut out from the wall of the well was rough and simple, thinking that it was secret, and in the eyes of this man in black, he wanted to cover it up. He turned over from the beam, fell lightly beside the well platform, raised his hand and touched it, and sure enough, he found an oil paper bag from the inner wall of the well platform.

Xiao Luochen looked carefully, the leader took something from the well platform, and suspected that it must be the secret of the Zhou family. Seeing that he couldn't attack the small courtyard of the kitchen for a while, he could only buckle a hidden arrow between his fingers and shoot straight at the man in black.

The arrows are cold, but because they are too far apart, they are finally a fraction worse. The man in black was also quick, turned over to dodge, shot three flying knives at Xiao Luochen's stealth place, and then put the oiled paper bag into his arms.

Both sides knew that the other had an ambush, one wanted to rob, and the other wanted to escape. The man in black was willing to die and give away the oil paper bag he found.

The encirclement slowly narrowed, and the two sides fought a fierce battle, until the sky was dark.

Su Jialu was originally a dead soldier, and when he saw that there was no hope of retreating, he tried his best to cover the person with the oil paper bag.

The sound of the blade entering the flesh was dull and hoarse, and the dead soldier of the Su family was slashed by Xiao Luochen in one arm, but he endured the pain and hugged his legs with the other arm.

Another seriously wounded dead man used his back as a meat pad, held up the leader of the man, and sent it out with all his might. By the last leap of his companion, the leader looked back as if to say goodbye to his companion, and then leaped forward, pierced through the net of arrows, and took advantage of the momentum to rush out of the high courtyard wall.
