Chapter 13: Murder and Silence
Just when Long Wushuang was besieged in the deserted garden, a hundred miles outside the north of the city, a convoy of dozens of people from the Yu family was passing through a canyon, but found that the road ahead was blocked, and dozens of masked people in black clothes were blocking the road.
Yu Huaide hurriedly got out of the carriage and bowed his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, even if you want money, you can take it, and you still want to raise your noble hand." ”
A man in black sneered: "What's the use of money, can you buy a life, kill, don't keep one." ”
Between the wind and the clouds, the man in black flew up, the cold knife flashed, chopping melons and vegetables, blood splashed, screaming again and again, Yu Huaide fell in a pool of blood, and showed a helpless and wry smile before he died: "Brother Aotian, I'm sorry for your ......"
Yu Zijian was frightened by this sudden robbery, and fled quickly to the rear, but the killer had already been ambushed in their rear, blocking the way, he looked at the black-clothed man who swung the knife in despair, and at the moment when his throat was cut, he remembered Long Wushuang, he felt deeply guilty, and silently muttered in his heart: "Wushuang, brother is sorry for you, but brother hopes that you will live well, find out the truth, and avenge Zhaoxue." ”
In the barren garden in the south of the city, Long Wushuang waited patiently for a while, waiting for a good time to break out of the siege, ate a few buns in the morning until now, never ate food again, and followed the Royal Forest Army to hunt for most of the day, consuming a lot of physical strength, and was already hungry.
The sky was already a little dark, and the Imperial Forest Army surrounded on all sides had not withdrawn, not only did not withdraw, but the city was rushing to the south of the city to transport rockets and fire oil.
Long Wushuang hid in the grass and was originally going to spend time with them until it was dark, and in the dark night, it was more conducive to his escape. But when it was dark, he suddenly thought of a serious question, did the other party gather around him to think of another way, this garden was overgrown with weeds, what if they set fire on all sides?
He didn't dare to wait any longer, torches had already begun to light up all around, rockets and oil had been delivered one after another, and they were being transported and distributed in all directions, and when they were ready, they would set fire to them from all sides.
He had already heard the sound of the wheels, and the movement was not one car, but many, and he concluded that they must have brought rockets and oil, and could not wait any longer, so he rolled over, bent over, and looked out, he had to fight his way out of the encirclement, and it was now.
He touched the iron armor on his body and put the bronze helmet on his head, hoping that this heavy shell could help him block the attack of arrows in the sky.
He made a little observation, and chose to break through to the north, to the south is the south city gate, which must be heavily guarded, to the west is sparsely populated, it is not easy to hide, and to the east there is a river, only to the north into the downtown area, there are many houses, the population is dense, and the officers and soldiers are afraid of the mouse, but it is conducive to their own escape.
He groped, cautiously approaching the besieging soldiers, and could already see the faces of those soldiers, and there were countless torches all around, like a long dragon, illuminating the surroundings.
He squatted in the grass for a moment, and vaguely saw the barrels of fire, in addition to the soldiers besieging him, there were countless other soldiers who were nervously distributing supplies, shuttling back and forth.
He threw away the crossbow in his hand, gritted his teeth, the magic light in his eyes flashed, the magic power poured into his hands, broke through, killed, he rushed out, the chaos wave slammed out, "boom", a cloud of black gas came out, extinguished a large number of torches, and more than a dozen corpses flew out.
Suffering this sudden blow, everyone naturally knew that Long Wushuang had finally appeared, but so many people were killed quietly during the day, everyone was afraid in their hearts, and they had long been frightened, and the soldiers were instantly chaotic, shouting in panic, just in the midst of this chaos, he rushed in, waving the chaos wave with both hands, and then killing, and fell down in an instant, his heavy body with a bronze helmet and iron armor fell to the ground, a chaos, and someone shouted in horror: "Demon, demon......"
"Whoosh", the soldiers began to release arrows in a panic, and they couldn't take care of their companions anymore, just to protect themselves, just to get rid of the demons by luck, arrows flew in the air, and the iron armor was shot "dangdang", and many soldiers were innocently hit by arrows, and the screams were endless.
Long Wushuang didn't stop, in the blink of an eye, he had broken through to the last line of defense, "boom", the chaos wave came out again, and another piece fell in front of him, he didn't care about being shot by an arrow in his leg, rushed out of the gap, and ran wildly towards the north.
Behind him, those royal forest soldiers waited for him to disappear without a trace, and then hurried to save the dead and help the wounded, the scene was chaotic, the commander heard the sound and came, organized a little, and let everyone follow the bloodstains, a long dragon of torches began to flow from south to north, and Jincheng was almost about to make trouble again.
Long Wushuang ran away, he was hit by seven or eight arrows in his leg, and began to emit severe pain, and Yin Yin's blood dripped to the ground, leaving traces, he turned around, ran to the edge of the small river again, took off the bronze helmet and iron armor, threw it into the river, jumped into the river, swam to the opposite bank, pulled out the arrows in pain, and wrapped the wound so as not to bleed again.
After a while, the Imperial Foresters had tracked down to the other side of the river, and he got up and followed the streets by the river, hiding in the darkness, walking through the streets and alleys, crossing the river and walking the bridge, and aiming at Yufu.
But the pain in his leg greatly affected his running, when he didn't pull out the arrow before, although it was also painful, but at least he could hold on, but after pulling the arrow, the pain intensified, and every step involved the muscles, and he felt that his eyes were black and he was almost fainting.
No, you can't run like this anymore, you have to find a place to heal, as for Yu Mansion, it's okay to go again tomorrow night, he gritted his teeth and moved forward, and after turning a small street, the Qinglou was in front of him.
"Lele", he suddenly remembered her, he already knew her residence, he didn't know why he felt that he trusted her, he ran into the alley, found Lele's room, her door was unlocked, maybe she hadn't come back after he kidnapped her away last night.
He didn't think much about it, opened the door and flashed in, closed it with his backhand, walked a dozen steps, touched the curtain, opened it, it was the bed, he lay down, yes, this is the feeling, it was this bed that night.
He gasped for a few breaths, the pain was already exhausting, he struggled to roll out of bed, got under the bed, shrunk into the deepest depths, his eyelids were heavy, closed his eyes, and immediately fell asleep.
When he fell asleep, the bead began to repair his body again: "Yes, I escaped very quickly." ”
Long Wushuang: "I feel like I'm a little more powerful than before, have you grown up?"
Magic Bead: "It's a little stronger, but I can't tell if I'm growing up at all, I'm still the size of a pea, where are you going to go next?"
Long Wushuang: "Go to Yufu to kill people and take revenge." ”
Demon Bead: "If you have revenge, I will support you, but you must remember to suck more blood." ”
He slept until dawn the next day, and he didn't know when the Qinglou had left or when the girls had returned, until a scream woke him up.
When he opened his eyes, he was still sleeping under the bed, and a woman in the alley outside screamed: "Come on, come on, dead man......"
The alley was chaotic, panicked, people came and went, all the girls were awakened, Long Wushuang secretly said bitterly in his heart, how could he sleep until dawn, there were so many people outside, how could he sneak away quietly, if someone found his whereabouts, he would be chased and killed, and he would delay himself to go to Yufu to take revenge.
But he had no choice but to lie under the bed, endure the hunger in his belly, and only hope that no one would come in, that no one would be discovered, and that he would endure until it was dark, and then he could escape quietly.
After waiting for a while, the people in the yamen came, and Lu Zhutou's voice came from outside: "Did anyone hear the movement at night?"
The girls gossiped: "No, I didn't hear it." ”
Lu Zhutou asked a woman, "You know these two women, right?"
The woman: "Yes, it's from our Qinglou." ”
Lu Zhutou: "What are you good at?"
The woman: "One is good at singing and dancing, and the other is good at drinking." ”
Lu Zhutou: "Have the two of them accompanied Yu Zijian recently?"
The woman seemed to be frightened: "Yes, they were the one who accompanied Yu Gongzi and the devil that night, Lord Lu, was that devil do it?"
Lu Zhutou: "It's still uncertain, didn't they go to the yamen to testify on the day Long Wushuang was tried?"
The woman: "That day, someone in Yu Gongzi's family had a birthday, and we invited some girls to sing and dance, and they also went, so they didn't testify." ”
Lu Zhutou thought for a moment: "Okay, girls, don't panic, it's okay", he beckoned his subordinates again: "Come here, carry it back for an autopsy." ”
Long Wushuang heard a sound of footsteps under the bed, and his heart was not a good feeling, now everyone calls him directly the devil, he sighed secretly, the devil is the devil, it doesn't matter.
Suddenly, his heart jumped wildly, if these two killed girls were the two who accompanied Yu Zijian to sing, dance and drink that night, then what about Lele, why didn't she come back, could it be that she had also been killed?
He couldn't help but worry and feel sad in his heart, feeling that the time of the day was simply like a year, yes, it must be Yu Zijian who came to kill people and kill his mouth, lest he find out the truth, and he didn't care if others died, but Lele saved his life, when she was seriously injured and unconscious, not only did she not take the opportunity to start, but regardless of the barrenness and horror of the garden in the south of the city, she carried herself to a safe place at night, for a weak woman, how much courage it takes.
Deep in his heart, he is grateful to Lele, a girl who doesn't talk much, almost only strokes the piano, doesn't indulge in alcohol, doesn't flatter, in the green building with a lustful voice of dogs and horses, she looks particularly noble, where is she?
However, after Lu Zhutou ordered everyone to carry the bodies of the two women back to the yamen, he handed them over to Qi Zuo for an autopsy, and he hurried to the cell, until he saw Lele sitting in the prison unharmed, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lele raised his head and looked at him: "Lu Zhutou, when will you let me out." ”
Lu Zhutou: "I'm afraid not now, the girl who accompanied Long Wushuang and Yu Zijian that night, including you, there are a total of four people, right?"
Lele: "Yes, I just play the piano, I don't drink, and I don't laugh. ”
Lu Zhutou: "I know three of the four people, who is the other one?"
Lele: "I don't know, it's a woman brought by Yu Zijian himself, that is, the woman who took Long Wushuang away in the end." ”
Lu Zhutou: "So she is not from your Qinglou?"
Lele: "No. ”
Lu Zhutou nodded: "You can stay here with peace of mind, it's safe here, do you know, there are two girls who have been killed, the same two who accompanied them to sing and dance and drink that night." ”
Lele's heartbeat intensified: "Long Wushuang killed?"
Lu Zhutou: "I can't draw conclusions now, but judging from the method of killing, it doesn't look like him." ”
Lele: "So someone killed someone?"
Lu Zhutou: "Maybe, I can't say much about the rest." ”
At this moment, a servant hurriedly came: "Boss, the Yu family has been wiped out." ”
Lu Zhutou was taken aback: "What? Didn't they move their family out of the city?"
The officer: "He was killed in the valley north of the city, and there was no one alive." ”
Lu Zhutou covered his head: "I know, take a good look at Miss Lele, ensure her safety, no one is allowed to approach the cell, I will go to see Lord Admiral." ”
