Chapter 370: Escaped?
With the red light, several figures gathered around that side. The person who released the fireworks realized that there was no way to live, so he bit the wax pill hidden in his teeth and committed suicide by taking poison.
Someone stepped forward to test his snort and shook his head at his companion, "It's dead." ”
Long Jing then rushed over, his face covered with frost, "What the hell are you doing?" Why did one person be missed? ”
"We are one by one, and the people brought by the second young master have all been killed, and this one is beyond calculation." An idle voice sounded, and another man stepped out from the shadows of the trees, carrying an iron bow about half a man's height on his shoulder, but there was no struggling under his feet.
"Didn't you already search the land beforehand? How can someone outside of the calculation be allowed to slip in? Long Jing asked nonchalantly.
The man with the bow shrugged his shoulders, "We are mortals, we don't have three heads and six arms, and we don't have clairvoyance, so there will always be omissions." ”
"Sangshi." Long Jing's always calm face showed annoyance, "The second young master is still in the hands of others, and if you make a mistake, you may kill the second young master, do you know?" ”
"Yes, yes." Sang Shi put the big bow on his shoulder, hugged his arms and looked at the short but imposing Longjing, "The omission has come out, and it's useless for you to shout and cut your throat." You better think about it, what should you do next?
Why don't we rush into Shuiyue Nunnery, pull the old nun out, let her show us the way, and we can go in and rescue the second young master?" ”
Long Jing hesitated for a moment, and quickly regained his mind. "No, the second young master has ordered, let us act according to the plan, we will ruin the second young master's plan if we rush in."
Sang Shi raised his eyebrows, "What about the second young master?" We don't care about him anymore? ”
Long Jing gritted his teeth, "I believe in the second young master, he will definitely be fine." ”
"So what are you waiting for?" Sang Shi casually pointed to the two people, "You stay and dispose of the corpse, clean up the bloodstains, and the others will follow me." ”
"I have other things to do. I'm not with you. "Long Jing broke away from the team.
Sang didn't even care about him. And the man who led him went away.
A quarter of an hour ago, Zhou Shu had already left the valley, and how he did it, he had no way of knowing in his coma. I only know that he was brought out by Shang Jin. It is not a secret passage from which it comes.
It is according to the guidance of Shang Jin. Walking along a winding mountain road in the direction of Suigetsu-an, he suddenly saw a red light rising in front of him. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and his steps stagnated. Immediately took refuge in the bushes on the side.
As soon as he hid it, Shang Jin went and returned. Swept along the mountain road, apparently chasing him.
He felt that it was not safe to hide here, his foot strength was limited, Shang Jin would not be able to estimate the distance he had traveled, and if he could not find him in front, he would definitely turn back and search. After a little thought, he did the opposite, performed light exercises, and swept in the direction that Shang Jin was chasing.
As it turned out, his judgment was quite accurate. Shang Jin thought that Zhou Shu's footsteps were not so fast, and chased forward for a while, but when he didn't see his figure, he immediately turned back, and searched the neighborhood several times before concluding that he had escaped.
A projectile the size of a quail egg was pulled from his waist and bent his fingers into the air. The projectile exploded overhead, turning into a green light and soaring into the sky.
At the signal, he plunged headlong into the woods, circled a few times, and headed straight in the direction of the valley.
Zhou Shu knew that he didn't have that skill, and he didn't do things like tracking. Mo Shangjin had already walked out a long way before he flashed out of his hiding place. Facing the moon, he discerned the direction, bypassed the place where Shang Jin gave the signal, and touched the mountain.
The two fireworks, one red and one green, alarmed the garrison guarding the mountain. The generals who led the troops sent scouts to check the places where the signals were given, and strengthened patrols to increase the number of guards.
In the valley, Liu Ge listened to Shang Jin's report on the situation outside, and his two stubby eyebrows were twisted together, "Are you sure that kid escaped, and was not startled by the signal released by our people, and changed his route out of caution?" ”
"I've searched the mountain road leading to Suigetsu-an before, right, and left, but I haven't found any trace of him. If he should have been hiding around there and waiting for me to turn back to him, why should he hide from me out of caution? Shang Jin said in a cold voice.
Liu Ge was reluctant to jump to conclusions, "What about the person who put the signal?" ”
"I asked someone to look for it, and I think there will be news in a moment." Shang Jin replied.
As soon as his words fell, someone came to report, "Young Master, General Shang, there was a fight behind Shuiyue Nunnery. The body was gone, and the blood had been carefully cleaned up. ”
"What about our people?" Liu Ge asked in a deep voice.
"The subordinate sent out a code, but there was no response, presumably dead."
Liu Ge waved his hand, sent the man away, patted his head and thought for a long time, and then ordered Shang Jin, "You immediately send someone to the Ji'an Palace, to see if Zhou Zhenzhong's old guy is really sick?"
In addition, he sent people to ambush at the foot of the mountain, and if he found any suspicious people, he would kill them. And that kid, as soon as I find him, I'll get him back for me. Remember, don't hurt him. ”
Shang Jin answered "yes", but he was not in a hurry to leave, "Young master, just in case, you better evacuate from here first." ”
"There's no need for that." Liu Ge waved his hand, "Things haven't been figured out yet, we can't mess with ourselves." Even if that kid had a ghost and no one to lead the way, he wouldn't be able to find it.
Now that the mountains and mountains are full of people from the imperial court, it is possible to be exposed when they go out. The incident is imminent, and you should not act rashly. ”
Shang Jin was uneasy, but he had to admit that he had a point. He stopped talking about persuasion, and did not mention it according to his instructions.
Jian Ying rolled on the bed for a long time, not sleepy at all, so she simply got up and sat in front of the window looking at the moonlight outside in a daze. She didn't know where Zhou Shu was at this time, what she was doing, whether it was safe.
Since coming to this world, she has been working hard to "follow the customs", and sometimes she even thinks that there is nothing wrong with being an ancient housemaid. But tonight, for the first time, she hated the rule that women were not allowed to go out at will.
If she could do something herself, maybe it wouldn't feel like it was now, and every minute and second would not be so long.
An hour earlier, King Ji'an had regained his breathing and heartbeat. Doctor Gao made up for a few injections in time to keep him in a coma and buy more time for Zhou Shu.
After all, there is a risk of using the needle method to cause a coma, considering that the king of Ji'an has taken the fierce fake death medicine, for fear of hurting his life, he left some sense of proportion when he gave the needle. He only considered safety issues and underestimated the physique and willpower of King Ji'an, a martial artist.
When he stepped forward to check the pulse, King Ji'an, who was lying on the couch, opened his eyes suddenly and grabbed him by the neck......
