Chapter 46: Dark Arrows
Ju Lian really found out where Qin Mo was staying, and it was in the depths of a courtyard in the south of Xianyang City.
After entering Xianyang City, Qiliju said goodbye to the two of them for the time being, and said that he would return to the clan to report to his father first, and the drama company went straight to the south of the city with a solution to his worries.
The funeral of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji has been reported, and the whole city is immersed in a sea of vegetarianism, and it is forbidden to marry and have fun, and it is terrifyingly quiet.
The drama is even in linen clothes to solve worries, and walks through the alleys, but it is a little less suspicious.
After several twists and turns, the drama company finally stood outside an inconspicuous courtyard.
The courtyard was deserted, and the dilapidated lacquer door was closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
But he had questioned the civilians in the vicinity, and several of them said that in the evening, ox carts often entered and exited the compound, and the sound was so loud that it could barely raise dust, presumably carrying heavy loads.
In the middle of the night, the occasional sound of wood breaking can be heard in the courtyard.
According to them, this courtyard was originally vacant, and it was only after half a year that these strange things were there, and they all thought that the people who lived here were probably the descendants of the public loss class.
Ju Lian was now standing in front of this quiet door, silent for a moment, and stepped forward and knocked on the door heavily.
No one answered.
"Listen to what the people say, and wait for others to work day and night." Xie Wei felt that it was useless to knock on the door here.
Ju Lian thought so, pushed a few times and failed to push the door open, drew his sword and split the door, and was dragged by Xie Wei.
"Brother, I'm afraid there is a mechanism." Xie frowned, there must be a lot of secrets hidden in this courtyard, but there is no one to guard during the day, who can guarantee that there are no ghosts in it? "It's better to watch it in the middle of the night......"
"The more non-villain it is." Ju Lian interrupted her words, and seeing that she looked unwilling, she added awe-inspiringly, "Lian and Yue Zhiyu have been friends for several years, and my brother is a human being, that is, for Yu Zhizhi, my sister still doesn't believe it?" ”
“…… That being the case, there is not much to worry about. Xie Wu replied without humility or arrogance, removed the hand that held the hilt of his sword, and returned it to his sleeve, "Yet...... Brother. ”
Ju Lian disappreciatively broke open the door, and there was a dilapidated screen painted with character stories on it, one person sitting on a high seat, and two people sitting opposite each other on the long table below, with a collar and a belt and some small ladders horizontally on the several.
There are many small holes in the screen of the brocade silk, and the cold wind blows, making an "empty" sound in the empty courtyard.
“…… Stick! "Relieve your worries, what is painted on this screen is exactly the situation when Mo Zhai and the public loss class fought wits and strength in front of the king of Chu, arguing whether the Song State could be attacked or not.
It seems that it is indeed the courtyard where Qin Mo lives.
There was still no one in the courtyard, and the drama turned the screen with relief.
Behind the screen, there was a huge crossbow, two arrows stretched on the strings, facing each side of the screen.
"The division is coming, so stay for a long time!" The moody voice came from the deep room, and as the last word landed, the crossbow suddenly activated, and the sharp sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air almost pierced people's eardrums.
Xie Wu subconsciously took a step away, his short body avoided the feather arrow, and his overly petite body slid uncontrollably to the side due to his hurried movements.
Someone behind her grabbed her arm and helped her to prevent her from falling to the ground.
Xie Xie turned his head sideways, and what caught his eye was the color of fire - Jian Ji still chased him to Xianyang City.
The first arrow pierced the edge of the screen, bringing down most of the dilapidated screen and swaying in the wind.
But one arrow did not fall, and the next arrow flew out in a hurry.
This is not only a crossbow that can fire automatically, but it is also a legendary repeater.
Kenji drew the short sword at her waist, staggered the flying feather arrows, and pulled Xie Wei to move out of range to dodge.
The third arrow followed, but it was already the end of the crossbow, and the strength was far less than the previous two.
Julian stretched out his hand to intercept the feather arrow, broke it into two pieces in his hand, threw it on the ground, and asked in a cold voice, "Is it for hospitality?" ”
The strength of the crossbow can only last three shots, and although there are still unfired feather arrows on the plane, they are no longer able to fly out.
"Accident, accident." Yue Zhiyu's voice sounded again, and then a person dressed in ultramarine drape appeared under the corridor, his face hidden in the shadow cast by the cornices of the corridor, and he couldn't see whether the expression on his face was a sneer or regret, "This crossbow machine has been built for a long time, and I don't want to start it today, and I will hurt my friend, it is my fault, and the teacher will forgive the sin." ”
Xie Wei was too anxious to dodge, twisted his right ankle slightly, and sat down beside Jian Ji accompanied by Jian Ji, gently rubbing his ankle.
She raised her eyes and carefully looked at the Yue Zhiyu in front of her, this person was completely different from what she imagined, she had always thought that Yue Zhiyu was just a craftsman, and she didn't want his bearing to be so elegant, of course, there was a little hidden gloom, which made people uncomfortable.
In short, he doesn't have the same temperament as Drama Lian, it's really incomprehensible, how can such a person become close friends with Drama Lian, or is it just Drama Lian's wishful thinking?
Yue Yu walked down the steps quickly, skillfully inspected the crossbow machine, and then removed all the remaining feather arrows on it, and gave a deep swipe towards the drama to show that he had no intention of harming him.
"Even farewell, visit again tomorrow." Ju Lian had no intention of rapping with him at this time, in his deep friendship with Yue Zhiyu, Yue Zhi was just an ink man who was obsessed with mechanical arts, how could he not see him for just half a year, and he was contaminated with a gloomy atmosphere?
I don't know if I'm injured or not, but I'm afraid it's a lot of fright, and I know that Yue Zhiyu and the others are here, and I'm not afraid that he will escape, and it's the same if I come back tomorrow.
"Ah worry, let's go."
Xie Wei obediently responded, supported by Jian Ji, and slowly left behind him.
Yue Zhiyu's gaze locked on the petite back, "This woman is extraordinary......"
"It seems to be the daughter of Shilian." Deep inside the room behind him, another younger voice rang out, echoing through the empty room.
"In the past, we have been friends for several years, and I have never heard of a female brother in the teacher." Yue Zhi frowned, maybe he didn't see it, but he stood opposite them, but he could see it clearly, and he thought that he would never forget the action of the girl just now dodging the feather arrow.
The first arrow was the most powerful and the most accurate, but she easily dodged it, although the girl injured her ankle because of improper force, but the figure she exposed in a hurry was far more shocking than the woman in red who shot the feather arrow and broke the feather arrow in the play.
And her face was only unpanicked, and she had just reminded Ju Lian to be careful outside the door - there were many small passages carved in this courtyard that could listen to the sounds of various places, so when Ju Lian and Xie Xie arrived outside the door, he already knew.
Who is this little girl? How to develop this body bearing?
He had a hunch that this girl would be the biggest stumbling block in his quest to achieve his goals.
