Chapter 272: Falling Son
Carriage and horses.
Gao Xining spread a straw mat in the courtyard, she sat down cross-legged on the straw mat, a chess box on the left, the chess box was full of white pieces, and a chess box on the right, and the chess box was full of black seeds.
She sat here cross-legged, laid out a piece of rice paper in front of her, lifted the pen on the rice paper and gently put down the pen, she used a very small brush, the lines drawn were straight and fine, and the drawings drawn were neat and beautiful, which was for the gongbi.
She put pen to paper very quickly, and soon sketched out several places on the rice paper.
About two moments later, many pavilion-like things were drawn on the rice paper, and the brushwork was fast and not messy.
After drawing, she held the chess box on the right in her hand, which was full of sunspots.
She pinched a sunspot and landed in the painting, and she drew not a chessboard, but a pattern.
The first sunspot fell on the Yunzhai Teahouse, after the first one fell, she groaned slightly, put down three more sunspots in the position of the Yunzhai Teahouse, paused slightly, and took a white child from the chess box on the left and put it in the middle of the Yunzhai Teahouse.
There are sunspots in all directions of Yunzhai Teahouse, but there is a white child in the middle.
At the same time, Yunzhai Teahouse.
Front, back, left, right, four carriages stopped almost at the same time outside the teahouse, the front yard and the back door, left and right, there were people coming down from the carriages, and there were four or five people in each carriage.
Two people were left in each car, and the rest came in from the front door of the Yunzhai Teahouse, eleven or two mermaids entered, and the last person to come in turned around and closed the door of the teahouse.
The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, and when he entered the door, he untied a long package he was carrying, and looked at the counter as he untied it.
There was a person sitting at the counter with a pipe in his mouth, not the shopkeeper, because these people had carefully checked before they came, and the shopkeeper of Yunzhai Teahouse was surnamed Sun, and he was a timid and afraid man, not this look.
The man with the pipe looked quite strong, and there was a scar on his face from his forehead to the left side of his face, but it didn't hurt his eyes, so it was inevitable that such an injury would look a little hideous.
He sat there and smoked a cigarette, looking at the people in front of him who appeared in the teahouse inexplicably with a very calm face, he didn't think it was strange, because he himself was also a person who appeared here inexplicably.
"Who are you?"
The man at the head opened the long package and took out a ring-headed knife from inside.
His name is Xu Qingnan, although he is not a person from the Xu family, but he has some weight in the Xu family, and he does some of the dirty work of the Xu family.
They kill people, destroy their mouths, destroy corpses, and destroy traces, and they do it seamlessly, and their methods are much more elaborate than those in the secret path.
Xu Qingnan asked who are you.
The man sitting on the counter smoking replied, "My name is Chang Dingsui, have you heard of it?" ”
Xu Qingnan frowned and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." ”
Chang Dingsui laughed: "That's the best." ”
Xu Qingnan asked: "What about the little girl singing in the teahouse?" ”
Chang Dingsui shrugged his shoulders: "I am." ”
Xu Qingnan's eyes glanced at Chang Dingsui coldly, and then waved his hand: "Search the store, don't leave a single one." ”
Chang Dingsui said: "Don't search, I'm the only one, even if I kill me, I won't be left." ”
He reached out and took out something from the counter, Xu Qingnan looked at it, it was an axe.
"Axe ......"
Xu Qingnan sighed and said, "Don't even have a decent weapon?" ”
Chang Dingsui smiled: "This thing is so good, can you try it?" ”
Half a moment later, someone pushed the door open and entered, and there were more than a dozen corpses on the ground, all covered in blood
Chang Dingsui squatted beside Xu Qingnan, looked at the dying man and asked, "Do you know now that the axe is good or not?" ”
He dropped an axe and chopped Xu Qingnan's neck open.
Then he got up, rubbed his bloody hands against himself, and said in a flat tone: "Clean up." ”
Seven or eight men came in from outside, carrying the corpses out the back door.
There is a carriage around the Yunzhai Teahouse, at this moment, a group of men are loading the corpses into the carriage, and then wiping the blood stains on the ground very clean, the four carriages were driven to the back door of the Yunzhai Teahouse, and the men who came out of the teahouse began to load the corpses.
They were silent, moving quickly, as if they were carrying not corpses one by one, but bags of dirt, or wood by wood.
Chang Dingsui leaned against the door and watched the corpses all load into the carriage, he lit his pipe again and took a puff, exhaling a thick puff of smoke.
He said with some regret: "The people who come out of these big families in the city are just different, look at the clothes on this body, the fabrics are so good, they are all neatly dressed when they come out to kill, and the same outfit looks good, not like us, wearing so sloppily, it's a pity, the momentum is very sufficient, but it doesn't resist beating." ”
One of his men said: "These people are locked around, but they look a little professional. ”
Chang Dingsui sighed: "They seem to be doing this professionally, but we are specialized in this." ”
He knocked his pipe, got into the car, sat on a cart of corpses, reached out and groped in the clothes of the corpses next to him, and after a moment he found a money bag, weighed it, and made a noise, so the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Carriage and horses.
Gao Xining sat on the straw mat, pinched the sunspots out of the chess box with his hand, and put them one by one on the picture, about seven or eight sunspots.
As soon as she put the sunspot down, people jumped in from outside the courtyard walls around her, and these black-clothed men quickly rushed into the courtyard with sharp knives in their hands.
The little girl sat there alone, without looking up.
"Hey!"
The man in black at the head shouted: "What's your name!" ”
Gao Xining didn't answer, put aside the chess box containing the sunspots, and then began to put white pieces on the picture, seven or eight sunspots, but there were more white pieces than sunspots, and the sunspots were circled.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the man in black at the head commanded: "No matter who it is, kill all the people left in the carriage and horse shop!" ”
His men answered, and immediately rushed forward.
At this moment, the sound of repeating crossbows appeared, and it was not a repeating crossbow, it was a lot.
People rushed out of the surrounding houses, and the crossbows in their hands kept shooting, and the thirty or forty black-clothed men who had entered the courtyard before were shot to the ground before they could react.
The men of the scout camp of the fierce Green Eyebrow Army shot as they walked forward, and then checked the people on the ground, and if they were not dead, they replenished their arrows, and pointed their crossbows at the people's heads.
A man walked not far from Gao Xining, leaned over and said, "Scared the girl, right?" ”
Gao Xining raised her head, there was no look of fear on her face, although she was really scared, but she didn't show it, she shook her head slightly and said, "No." ”
The man snorted, turned around and ordered, "Clean up." ”
Gao Xining began to pick up the sunspots on the map one by one, and did not put them back in the chess box, but put them aside, and there were no sunspots on the map, only white pieces remained.
But the matter is not over, and she is not finished.
Gao Xining's gaze fell on a place on the map, and then began to put sunspots in that place, and there were a lot of sunspots, and only one white.
On the street, a carriage was moving slowly, the window was open, and through the window, Xiahou Zhuo's mother could be seen sitting in the carriage, on both sides of the street, someone followed the carriage, and their eyes were always on the carriage
。
Two moments later, the carriage stopped at the mouth of the alley, and the coachman helped Mrs. Xiahou get out of the carriage and entered a house in the innermost part of the alley.
Those who had been following them soon poured into the alley, like water poured into a ditch, and it didn't take long for the ditch to fill up.
They kicked the door of the courtyard open, and when they entered, they saw the coachman with a straw hat standing alone in the courtyard with his back to the courtyard gate.
The thugs took one look, then drew their knives and rushed at the coachman, who turned and took off his straw hats, and the men who rushed forward suddenly slowed down, and the people in front of them were so frightened that they almost fell.
Ye Zhuzhu put the straw hat aside, glanced to the side, there happened to be a broom, so Ye Zhuzhu bent down to pick up the broom, his hand shook slightly, the broom stick broke, and he raised the half of the broom stick slightly.
"Come on."
He only said one word.
Most of the murderers who rushed in were people from the dark passage, and some of them had seen Ye Zhuzhu and knew who it was, so they were so frightened that they didn't dare to rush forward.
Some people have already had the intention of retreating and want to retreat.
At the same time, in the carriage and horse shop, Gao Xining put down a few white seeds behind those black ones.
These murderers retreated from the courtyard, but they couldn't retreat, because a few more people came in the alley, Jiang Ran, who was walking in the front, took off his straw hat, and then took off two repeating crossbows from his waist, he raised his hand to aim at those murderers, and grinned at the corner of his mouth.
The people around him were the same, each with two repeating crossbows, shooting as they walked forward, and the murderers crowded at the door had no way to advance or retreat.
A moment later, Ye Zhuzhu stuck the blood-dripping half-broom rod aside, and looked back into the room.
The door opened, and Mrs. Xiahou came out of the room, raised her hand and removed a mask on her face.
The long-eyebrow Taoist looked at the corpse in that place, and his face turned a little pale.
Ye Zhuzhu looked at the long-eyebrow Taoist in this women's dress, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's better not to take it off." ”
The long-eyebrow Taoist asked, "Why?" ”
Ye Zhuzhu pointed to the chest of the long-eyebrow Daoist, and said with a smile: "It doesn't match the face of the Daoist." ”
The long-eyebrow Taoist snorted, grabbed two steamed buns from the clothes on his chest, looked at them, and then asked Ye Zhuzhu: "It's hot, do you eat it?" ”
Ye Zhu Zhu: "......"
Carriage and horses.
Gao Xining looked at the picture in front of her, only the last position on the picture has not yet fallen, there are still many sunspots in the chess box in her hand, she pondered for a moment, poured out all the sunspots in the chess box, the sunspots rolled down, and the place was occupied by sunspots.
Gao Xining exhaled slowly, the only thing she wasn't very sure about was this last place, the place she was most worried about.
Twenty miles outside the city of Jizhou.
Li Qi rode his horse and looked to the side, and there was an old man sitting in the carriage he was guarding, who looked extraordinary, and he had been closing his eyes and recuperating without looking out.
Li Qi's eyes left the carriage next to him to look ahead, and there was a strong man sitting in the carriage in front of him, at least about a head and a half taller than Li Qi, he sat there like a big clock, standing up like an iron tower.
Then Li Qi glanced back, in the carriage behind, the coachman who drove the car should not be tall, but he looked extremely strong, and when Li Qi looked at him, he was also looking at Li Qi.
Li Qi smiled at him, and the coachman also smiled at Li Qi, and the smiles of both of them were a little fake.
There was a large forest in front of him gradually becoming clearer, and at this moment, the old man sitting in the carriage slowly opened his eyes, and he looked out and found that Li Qi also happened to retract his gaze and look at him.
The old man also smiled at Li Qi, and Li Qi smiled at him.
It's more fake than the smile just now.
