Chapter 20: The Mysterious Man
At this time, Ru Yan eased up a little, and found that the four of them were tied to a wooden stake by the five flowers, and the official was actively fiddling with firewood. Ouyang Xian, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" pavilion, looked at them triumphantly.
"Miss, are you alright?" Uncle Chen asked.
"I'm fine!"
"Alas, I'm too old to be useful!" Uncle Chen sighed.
"Uncle Chen, don't say that, if I hadn't fallen into their hands first, you wouldn't have been caught so easily!" The snowfall blames itself.
"Okay, okay, you all save some effort, I don't know what happened to Xuanshuang and Hazy Moon now!" Zifeng said.
"I hope they're safe!" Ru Yan said.
"Now we're in trouble, look!" Purple Wind signaled, it turned out that the firewood under their feet had been ignited, the weather was dry and hot, the fire burned even stronger, and the flames rushed up excitedly, spitting long fire hyacinths.
"Alas, now I can only pin my hopes on Xuanshuang!" Zifeng sighed helplessly.
The scorching sun was shining on his head, and the fire below was getting bigger and bigger, and the sweat on Zifeng's forehead was dripping like rain, and when he looked at the snow next to him, his face was already pale and he didn't wake up.
"Hey, hey, snow, wake up, wake up!" Purple Wind called anxiously.
Xue Xue barely opened his eyes and smiled, "I'm fine!" ”
"Miss, Miss!" Chen Bo was also calling anxiously.
"Miss Purple Wind, our young lady has also fainted, what should I do?"
"No, if it goes on like this, Ru Yan and Xue Xue won't be able to hold on before they can be rescued, so they have to think of a way!" Zifeng thought secretly in his heart.
At this time, an official ran over to report to Ouyang Xi: "My lord, someone wants to see you!" ”
"Who is it?"
"The man said that he told me to tell you, 'There are jackals in the grass, and there are only fishers by the river', and the man said that you will naturally know who he is after listening to him, and you will naturally go to see him!"
Ouyang was taken aback, "Where is that person now?" ”
"The little one let him wait at the gate of the village!"
Ouyang Yi looked anxious, and hurriedly followed the official who reported and left.
"Exactly! A godsend! Zifeng thought in his heart.
"Ouch, it hurts me! Big brother, big brother! Zi Feng was very happy to see that one of the officials turned his face to look at her, "Yes, yes, yes, it's you, you are the most handsome in the audience, come here, I feel so much pain here!" ”
The official came over.
Zifeng was very happy, "Come here, come here, here, it's painful here!" ”
"I'm dying, what kind of pain are you afraid of?" Unexpectedly, the official was extremely indifferent.
"You big-headed ghost, I curse you to be trampled to death by horses, hacked to death by knives, and pierced by arrows ......."
Before he could finish speaking, the official fell to the ground with a short arrow stuck in his back.
"I'm a little obedient, the gods are obviously spiritual," Zifeng was so happy that he immediately closed his eyes and silently thought, "Bodhisattva bless, come and save us, come and save us, save us!" ”
"Sister Purple Wind!"
Zifeng opened her eyes and saw that it was Hazy Moon, and she saw that she was holding a short crossbow in her hand.
"How are you?"
"It's me, Sister Xue put a note in the money bag for me, and Sister Xue asked me to lurk halfway down the mountain and capture Wang Chong alive who came down the mountain. After I locked Wang Chong in a very secret place, I went up the mountain again to help you, and when I met the nursing home in Sister Ru Yan's house on Rongma Road, I taught them ......"
"Okay, okay, little ancestor, hurry up and loosen us, you really plan to wait until we are burned to death?"
"Oh oh oh, okay!" Hazy Moon patronized and said, only to suddenly find that they were still tied to the fire. Hurry up and help them loosen their bonds.
Zifeng and Uncle Chen helped Ru Yan and Xue to a cool place, and said to Uncle Chen: "You take care of them here, I'll help Haoyue!" ”
"Okay, Purple Wind Girl, be careful yourself!"
Zifeng joined the scuffle and asked Haze Moon as he fought: "Hey, although your play looks ugly, it's still quite good!" ”
Haze Yue also replied while dealing with the official errand: "Okay, right?" I was bored to do it when I was waiting for Wang Chong, the materials were limited, it was not done well, and the lethality was not enough, so I soaked the arrowhead in the anesthetic overnight to have this effect. ”
The official errand was almost cleaned up, and Xuanshuang returned.
"Yo, who is this, dressed up, right?" Purple Wind sneered.
"It's hard to ignore you!" Xuanshuang gave her a blank look and continued to put the finishing touches on it.
"Hey, hey, and your temper, what about your friends? Why aren't they any? ”
"Those bunnies dare to release my pigeons, it's best not to let me see them in the future!"
"So, what about the pillars?"
"Escaped!"
"Escaped? Hehehe, I'm laughing to death, the pillar was sent by Ouyang Yi to deal with you, will he escape? I think you escaped, right? ”
"Say whatever you want!"
"It's better than the hazy moon!"
"Are you finished?"
"It's not over!"
"Beware of me pumping you!" Xuanshuang was released by his friends in the rivers and lakes, and he was very faceless, and he happened to have nowhere to vent his anger.
"Oh, you're still reasonable, come on, come on, come on and smoke me!" The purple wind also splashed.
"Okay, okay, don't quarrel, when is it, let's go see Sister Ru Yan and Sister Xuexue!" The hazy moon divided the two of them in the middle.
The two of them snorted at the same time and walked down the hallway.
At this time, Ru Yan and Xue Xue had already woken up, but their bodies were still very weak.
"What about Ouyang Xi?" Ru Yan asked.
"yes, how did you forget this bastard!" Zi Feng scolded, "I started to hear that someone was talking to him, let's go, go to his room!" ”
Purple Wind and Xuanshuang rushed towards Ouyang Xuan's room like a gust of wind.
"Wait for me!" Hazy Moon chases behind.
"Uncle Chen, help us too!" Ru Yan said.
Xuan Shuang and Zi Feng had just arrived at Ouyang Xian's residence, but suddenly saw a black shadow "whoosh" from Ouyang Xuan's room and broke out of the window.
Xuanshuang hurriedly chased after him.
Purple Wind and Hazy Moon immediately broke through the door.
They were stunned by what they saw.
Ouyang Yi killed himself. He still gripped the hilt of his sword tightly in his right hand, and the blade nearly severed his neck from the force. Blood kept pouring out of his neck and mouth. His head rested on his sword, his body leaning against the table, his body convulsing from time to time due to pain.
"Say, who is it?" Zifeng hurriedly asked.
Ouyang Xi didn't speak, and looked at the two of them with a weird smile, until he completely lost his breath, that weird smile still remained on his face, as if it was frozen, terrifying.
At this time, Ru Yan, Xue Xue and Chen Bo also arrived.
"Nightshade?" Snowfall, close your eyes, and sniff the air carefully.
The others also closed their eyes and sniffed carefully, the smell was faint, but it was indeed the smell of nightshade. Nightshade is a precious spice that girls are generally proud to receive. Zifeng once got a small bottle of nightshade by chance to show off, and used it very happily in front of several other girls. As a result, the spice was generally only used by aristocratic women.
"What are you sniffing? All like dogs! "It's Xuanshuang back.
Zi Feng opened his eyes and looked at her, and said angrily: "Needless to say, I lost it again!" ”
"Don't stand and talk without back pain, you can do it!"
"Ouch ouch, my back hurts, my back hurts!"
"Is it a woman?" Ru Yan guessed.
"I don't look like a woman in the back, it's quite tall, probably ...... Eight feet, if it's a woman, it's too ......."
"If it's a man, then he's a pervert!" Hazy Moon added.
"There are jackals in the grass, and there are only fishing ...... by the river." Zi Feng suddenly blurted out these two sentences.
"Huh? What do you mean? Ru Yan asked.
"I don't know, when the mysterious person came to find Ouyang Yi, the official sent a report to these two sentences!"
Xue Xue walked over and carefully inspected Ouyang Xi's body, "There are no traces of a fight, it looks like a suicide, not a killing!" ”
"Who can make Ouyang Yi commit suicide willingly?" Ru Yan thought in her heart, and suddenly she remembered that Ouyang Yi had told her before that someone had instructed him to kill his brother. So, is this mysterious person today the black hand behind the scenes? Who the hell is he, and who would have such great ability. What grievances does that person have with the Chen family, and he must put her whole family to death?
Everyone walked out, and Uncle Chen asked his subordinates to clean up Ouyang Xi's body.
"Hazy Moon, you can tell us now how you led the nurses to win more with less!" Zifeng said.
"Hee-hee, the terrain of the road is dangerous, the road is narrow, and the rocks on both sides are steep. Ouyang Xi's soldiers must have been afraid that we would hide on it and roll stones. They only guard the top, but ignore the feet. They don't know that I've planted crossbows all under their feet. As a result, they were all hit, and those who escaped fell into the trap I had dug beforehand. ”
"Our Hazy Moon is so smart!" Snow said.
"Wow, Hazy Yue, you are so powerful, so you defeated Ouyang Xi's men and horses without a single soldier, right?" After Zi Feng finished speaking, he deliberately looked at Xuan Shuang provocatively.
Xuanshuang's face is not good-looking.
"No, I still want the brothers in the nursing home to help bury the crossbow and dig traps! Digging Wang Chong's trap can make me tired...... By the way, those people are still in the trap, Sister Ru Yan, what to do with them? ”
Ru Yan smiled and said to Uncle Chen, "You can arrange for someone to bring all the people in the trap up!" ”
"Yes, Miss!" Uncle Chen responded and went to make arrangements.
Ru Yan remembered that Ouyang Yi said that Hao Yue was a little idiot, a snack goods, and she was too lazy to deal with her, but Ouyang Xi was defeated in the hands of Hao Yue, and couldn't help laughing, this so-called natural talent must be useful, everyone has everyone's advantages and specialties. Any time the enemy is underestimated, it can only fall short.
"Sister Ru Yan, what are you laughing at?" Hazy Moon asked puzzled.
"It's nothing, our little Haze Yue is indeed very smart, but your Sister Xuanshuang is also very powerful, one person to deal with a team of people on the pillar!"
Xuanshuang, who had lost again and again, was depressed after several ridicules from Zifeng, and after hearing Ru Yan's words, he was even more embarrassed and ashamed.
"Yes, people are amazing, one person beat away the pillar with strong martial arts!" Purple Wind will definitely not let go of this kind of good opportunity.
This time, Xuanshuang didn't refute, "Actually, the pillar was not beaten away by me!" ”
"Huh?" Everyone was amazed.
"He ran on his own, he didn't have a few tricks with me, and he didn't seem to want to entangle with me!"
"That's weird, isn't the pillar targeting you, but for some other purpose?" Xue Xue asked suspiciously.
"Could it be that he guessed that Ouyang Yi would be defeated and fled for his life in advance?" Hazy Moon said.
"How is it possible, you didn't see that the pillar was more loyal to Ouyang Yi than a dog!" Purple Wind retorted.
"That's just as well!" Hazy Moon replied.
"It's possible that this is Ouyang Yi's order to the pillar, what he told us about sending the pillar to deal with Xuan Shuang is just a pretense, and he doesn't actually want us to know his true purpose!" Ru Yan analyzed.
"What is the purpose so urgent?" Snowfall thought.
There was a "grunt", and it was Hazy Moon's stomach ringing.
When they heard this, they all laughed.
Hazy Moon was a little embarrassed, "Hehe, I'm hungry again!" ”
