Chapter 1834: True and False Assassination!
"What about Mr. Murray?"
Back at the post house in the city, Li Tai saw that Dugu Feiying happened to be looking around in front of the post house, and he was anxious to inform Modri about the location of the telegraph relay station, so he didn't take Dugu Feiying's abnormality to heart, but asked eagerly.
"Your Highness, eldest brother, are you back? Mr. Murray...... Mr. Murray: They're packing up in the backyard! ”
When Dugu Feiying saw Li Tai and the others, especially when he saw Dugu Xin coming back, he immediately got up and replied.
In addition to the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy and the forbidden army led by Dugu Xin, there are also the materials and machinery and equipment needed to build a telegraph relay station brought out from Yanhuang Academy on this trip to the north, these things are all priceless treasures in this era, and they can't be bought with money, in order to ensure that they will not be left behind, and in order to ensure that the purpose of their trip will not be leaked, these materials and equipment are separately allocated for storage in a courtyard in the post house, and there are special forbidden troops guarding day and night!
"Hmmm! This king is going to see it! ”
Li Tai nodded in response, and with that, he walked directly towards the post house.
Dugu Xin didn't follow the past, first, now that the entire post house is the person he arranged, he doesn't need to worry about Li Tai's safety in the post house at all; Second, Dugu Feiying's eyes obviously have something, which is easy to see after being a brother for so many years!
"What's wrong?"
After Li Tai entered the post house, Dugu Xin looked at Dugu Feiying and asked lightly.
Dugu Feiying said with an anxious face: "Big brother, just now the Wang Assassin sent someone from the Wang family's ancestral house to send someone to send news, saying that someone had discovered the whereabouts of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan, and the Wang family had already sent someone to rush over!" ”
Dugu Xin was shocked when he heard this, and said, "What? Did the Wang family find out the whereabouts of those two? ”
Dugu Feiying scratched his head and said, "Yes! Just now, Wang Tingshi's people came to inform me! I...... I also wanted to come over, but I thought that the eldest brother had told me not to track down the whereabouts of these two people, so I didn't go...... Big brother, why don't we really go over and take a look? ”
After Duguxin led the army into the city yesterday, after learning about the current situation in the city, he formulated a strategy of temporarily holding the army and responding to all changes with the same, he completely gave up looking for the whereabouts of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan, and concentrated all his energy on protecting the safety of Li Tai and others, so the task of tracking down the whereabouts of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan was only carried out by the Wang family!
It's just that Dugu Feiying is more or less unwilling, because there are still many mysteries on Zhu Xisheng and Kang Changan waiting for him to solve, and if he doesn't catch these two, he always feels that something is missing in his heart.
"The reason why I didn't let you continue to track down the whereabouts of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan was mainly because I didn't want to disperse the troops, but now that the Wang family has discovered the whereabouts of these two people, we should naturally take a look! Maybe you can really find some clues from these two people! ”
Dugu Xin pondered for a moment, and he didn't have a good attitude towards Dugu Feiying.
Although in Dugu Xin's heart, Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan Bacheng are just two small shrimps, not the real spy leader, but now that the Wang family has helped them find these two people, there is no need for him to waste any more troops, and if these two people really know something, then he will definitely make a profit on this trip! Maybe according to the clues provided by these two people, they can also find out the real mastermind behind the scenes!
"Good, good! The person sent by the Wang family told me that Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Chang'an were hiding in the backyard cellar of the fifth house east of Shuorenfang in the south of the city, and I would take someone over there......"
Seeing that Dugu Xin actually agreed to go to check on the two criminals, Dugu Feiying suddenly became excited.
Dugu Xin frowned, because he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong, so he interrupted Dugu Feiying and said, "You and your brothers stay here to protect Your Highness, and I will go over and see it alone!" ”
"Uh......"
Dugu Feiying was unwilling, and wanted to refute two sentences, but was glared back by Dugu Xin's stern eyes, so he had to respond in a muffled voice: "Yes!" Eldest brother! ”
Dugu Xin nodded, and asked a forbidden soldier to bring a mount for him, and he rode alone and quickly ran directly in the direction of the south of the city.
………………………………
"Great Commander, these two people are Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Chang'an, the two of them are hiding in the cellar in the backyard, but when their subordinates bring people over, the owner of this house is gone!"
Shuorenfang in the south of Taiyuan City, the fifth house in the east, backyard.
A thin young man dressed in black bowed to another tall man with a round neck and hugged his fist.
Archon!
This tall black-clothed round-necked man is none other than Wang Chengwu, the commander of the Wang family's secret guards, and he can be regarded as a legendary existence in the Wang family's secret guards, only thirty years old, and his martial arts strength has already reached the realm of a grandmaster.
"Bai Qing, tell me how you found the two of them?"
Wang Chengwu's eyes were like electricity, he glanced at Zhu Xisheng and Kang Changan, who were tied into zongzi and had faces like ashes, and then turned his gaze back to the thin man in black in front of him, and asked in a deep voice.
This Bai Qing is the second branch of the Wang family's secret guard, that is, the secret guard under the control of the second room, yesterday all the forces of the Wang family came out and looked for the suspect who was not found for a day, but was easily found by this Bai Qing, which Wang Chengwu couldn't help but suspect it!
Bai Qing's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly bowed his head and hugged his fists and said: "Back to the commander, his subordinates patrolled Shuo Renfang this morning, and saw that the door of this house was wide open, which was very abnormal, so he went in to take a look, and found that there was no one in this house, and his subordinates were about to leave, and suddenly heard a sound from the backyard, and his subordinates went to the backyard to check, but they didn't think that there were people hidden under the cellar in the backyard, and after interrogation, they learned that these two people were still wanted by the head of the house, and the subordinates were worried that they couldn't cope with it alone, so they hurriedly asked someone to go back to the family to send you a message!" ”
This guy's remarks can be said to be leaky, but Wang Chengwu glanced at him suspiciously, and after a moment of silence, Wang Chengwu waved his hand left and right and said: "Take these two people back, and then go to the post house to bring the account room of Chu Ji Iron Shop back to the ancestral house, and verify the identity of the two of them!" ”
"Yes!"
The four golden-suited warriors came out of the crowd and dragged Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan, who were tied to the ground, Wang Chengwu waved his hand at this time and said, "Go back to the ancestral house!" ”
The group took Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan out of the mansion immediately, Bai Qing was behind him, a trace of excitement and greed flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "The head of the family gathers all his forces to arrest these two people, which proves that these two people are extremely important, and it is I Bai Qing who caught them, developed, developed...... Ha ha! This time, the reward of the head of the family will definitely not be less......"
In fact, the real situation is not what Bai Qing just said, Bai Qing was indeed ordered to patrol Shuorenfang in the morning, but when he just walked into the door of Shuorenfang, a feather arrow pierced his face door, although Bai Qing was a little martial arts, but with his kung fu, in the face of this sudden arrow, he didn't have time to dodge at all, just when Bai Qing closed his eyes and shouted in his heart, "My life is over", the feather arrow did not hit his head, but deviated by an inch, and crossed his ear, "Bang" With a bang, it was nailed deep into the wall!
Bai Qing was shocked, but after the person who "assassinated" him shot this feather arrow, there was no other action, he turned his head to look at the feather arrow nailed to the wall, and saw a strip of cloth on the shaft of the arrow, his heart moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take the feather arrow off the wall, and when he opened the strip of cloth, he saw that it was written: "The person chased by the Wang family is hidden in the cellar in the backyard of the fifth house east of Shuorenfang!" ”
After seeing this line of small print, Bai Qing subconsciously didn't believe it, thinking that this was a prank made by a boring person, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong, and asked which boring person could shoot an arrow into the wall as much as two inches?
Thinking of the current Wang Yu mobilized the power of the entire Wang family, looking for Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan all over Taiyuan City, if he caught these two, he would definitely get many rewards from the family, and even his status in the Wang family's secret guard would be higher because of this!
Thinking of this, Bai Qing put away the strip of cloth with words, and quietly touched the fifth house in the east of Shuorenfang alone! Because he didn't want anyone else to share the credit with him, he didn't plan to call any companions!
didn't think about it, he really found Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan in the cellar in the backyard of that house, which made Bai Qing overjoyed, so there was the previous scene! Obviously, the previous arrow was not intended to assassinate him, but someone was delivering a message to him!
As for why Bai Qing lied to Wang Chengwu, the reason is still for profit, if he tells the truth, saying that someone sent him a letter to indicate the hiding places of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan, so he caught these two people, then it will seem that he did not play any role in this matter, in order to show his own merits, he can only say that he found the hiding place of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan!
On the other hand, they are experiencing a real assassination!
It is said that Dugu Xin rode alone, from the city to Shuorenfang in the south of the city, when there were still three people's squares from Shuorenfang, suddenly, on the wall of the surrounding people's squares, dozens of feather arrows with a cold light shot towards his body, Dugu Xin is a grandmaster-level martial arts master, and his perception of danger is far more acute than Bai Qing's, and the moment before the feather arrow was shot, he felt a life-and-death crisis, and his heart was in his heart at the moment!
In the face of dozens of feather arrows that came from the burst, Dugu Xin took out the sword on his waist, and the Dugu Nine Swords he comprehended with the help of Li Zexuan - the broken arrow type was launched instantly, only to see a burst of sword light and sword shadow in the air, and the dozens of feather arrows were all cut off by Dugu Xin, and there was a crisp sound of "Ding Ding Ding", and the arrows fell on the bluestone slab, and this space was quiet in an instant!
"Who is the rat generation, dare to commit murder in Taiyuan City? Come out~! ”
Dugu Xin had already dismounted at this time, he stood with his sword in hand, glanced around, and shouted in a deep voice.
