Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Dark Ride

"Yes, in the end, the uncle recognized me and sued my mother directly, my mother was angry and punished me for not eating for a day, or my father..."

"Ming'er..."

Sima Ming took a deep breath, suppressed the tears that had reached her eyes, and said with a smile: "Cousin, I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while." ”

Gu Zhiqing was a little distressed, the old marquis would be in front of him when Ming'er encountered any grievances, but now everything seems to be hidden in his heart, especially this aunt's matter, she seems to be stronger than before, and she has more and more demeanor of eternal peace.

Sima Ming calmed down, looked at Gu Zhiqing and asked, "Is it arranged over there?" ”

Gu Zhiqing said: "The news that my aunt's drug poisoning has spread, and I have arranged for someone to keep an eye on her, and as long as there is a move, we will be notified." ”

"Thank you, cousin." I don't know why she always felt that this thing was a little strange, but she didn't think of anything strange for a while, so she had to catch the person who conspired with Ran Er first.

In the evenings of autumn and winter, although the cold wind in the courtyard was not as biting as the winter solstice, it also made people shiver, and suddenly a door was opened with a "click".

The man opened a crack in the door, made sure that there was no one outside the door, and then cautiously walked out with a burden, turned back in two steps, and made sure that it was really safe, and then walked quickly to the corner of the backyard, turned over the dry firewood stacked in the corner, and a round dog hole of no more than half a meter appeared under the wall more than a foot high, and the man threw the luggage out of the high wall and crawled out of the dog hole by himself.

Sima Ming, who was watching this scene not far away, frowned slightly: "Cousin, I'll go up and take a look." ”

"Okay."

Ran Er went out of the Hou Mansion with luggage on her back like some flood beast behind her, ran in a panic on the empty street, directly passing several streets, Ran Er suddenly turned into a dark alley, Sima Ming and Gu Zhiqing were just about to go in, suddenly the sword shadow flashed, Sima Ming pushed Gu Zhiqing away, I wanted to hide from the future, the man's sword had already cut through Sima Ming's arm.

Gu Zhiqing heard Sima Ming in pain for a while, called Sima Ming, just about to pass, those people's swords came up, seeing that they were about to slash Gu Zhiqing, they were blocked by a figure, and the next moment the blood of the person who moved the sword against Gu Zhiqing was splashed on the spot, Sima Ming had not recovered from the panic, a man in black killed Sima Ming, and the next second he was pulled out, and the killer was kicked out by the comer.

The person who rescued Gu Zhiqing just now looked at the group of people in black clothes and said with a hint of murderous aura: "Kill!" ”

The man took Sima Ming aside, and by the moonlight, Sima Ming saw that the person who saved him was Cang Xuan: "Why are you here?" ”

Cen Wei came over unhurriedly: "I found out where the scammer who bought fake medicine for Hou Ye lived, I was afraid that the liar would run away and he would be able to do martial arts, so I pulled him along, and I happened to meet you and Gu Xiang were trapped, and just wanted to come to save you, I saw that group of people." ”

Sima Ming shivered when he saw Cen Wei looking at his back, and just wanted to turn back, but was called by Cang Xuan: "Master Hou, why did you come here late at night?" ”

"Ran ran away, and my cousin and I followed her here." Sima Ming suddenly remembered something, "Since you and Lord Cen are also here, then the person behind treating your mother and Ran'er is the same?" ”

"Nine times out of ten."

"Sss Suddenly, there was a tingling pain from the arm injury, and Sima Ming couldn't help but gasp.

Cang Xuan looked at Sima Ming's hand injury and frowned slightly, "Why is it injured?" ”

Sima Ming noticed that Dao Cangxuan was a little angry, and explained: "Fang just followed Ran Er to the entrance of the alley, and they suddenly rushed out and didn't dodge for a while, so they didn't get in the way. ”

"Who are you?"

Sima Ming turned his head when he heard Gu Zhiqing's voice, the masked men in black who had assassinated them before were gone, and the man standing opposite Gu Zhiqing suddenly knelt down: "The last general, the deputy general of the Xuantie Battalion, the deputy general of the dark cavalry, Yingyue." ”

“... The Black Iron Battalion secretly rides. ”

The dark cavalry of the Xuantie Battalion is an elite unit of the Liuyu Dynasty, mainly responsible for assassinations and surprise attacks.

But what made them famous in the first battle was not that they unknowingly infiltrated the rear of the enemy army to take the head of the enemy general, but that when the 100,000 troops were trapped, the Xuantie Battalion secretly rode with only a few dozen people to break the enemy's defense line and led the 100,000 army to break out of the encirclement.

Although it is not a time of war, these people still have to be stationed in the border defense area, why do these dozen or so hidden horsemen appear in the rear?

"You..."Gu Zhiqing suddenly looked at them through the shadow moon, paused for a long time, and was just about to speak, Cen Wei stepped forward and called, "Gu Xiang, don't you still want to arrest people?" It just so happens that the dark rider of the Xuantie Camp is here, so it's not right for him to help you catch it. ”

What else did Gu Zhiqing want to do, Cen Wei said in a low voice: "Gu Xiangke can think clearly about what the consequences of your shouting will be?" ”

Gu Zhiqing asked, "Lord Cen has long known that the Fifth Prince is in Qingqi. ”

"A little earlier than you know." Cen Wei smiled and said, "Gu Xiang, you better do your business first, and then you will run away if you talk about people." ”

Gu Zhiqing looked at Yingyue and said, "Then there is General Lao Yingyue." ”

"You're polite." Ying Yue commanded the subordinates beside him, "You take Gu Xiang in." ”

"Yes."

Cang Xuan looked at the wound on Sima Ming's hand and said, "This place is not far from the southeast, so Master Hou might as well go to my place to take medicine first." ”

"Hmm."

Shadow Moon heard that they were leaving, and said with a smile: "I just frightened Hou Ye, it is better for the last general to personally send Hou Ye and this son back." ”

Sima Ming said gratefully: "There is General Lao Yingyue." ”

"It should." Shadow Moon gave a few words to the few people who were guarding outside.

It was late at night and the night was cold in late autumn, and there was no light on the whole street except for the night lighting.

"Since General Shadow Moon is a dark rider of the Xuantie Battalion, how can he appear here?" Sima Ming was a little puzzled, the troops in the barracks were not stationed at the border, why were they in Qingqi.

Ying Yue took two steps forward and knelt down: "The last general has a heavy responsibility on his body, it is really inconvenient to reveal it to Hou Ye, please don't blame Hou Ye." ”

Sima Ming was stunned by his posture, and also found that he had overstepped, even if she was Yong'an Hou, she had no right to ask, "Don't blame the general, I'll ask casually." ”

Sima Ming suddenly saw a bright light not far away, which made people feel a little warm in the late autumn night.

It wasn't until he walked to the southeast door that Sima Ming smiled and said, "Today's matter is thanks to General Yingyue's help, and I will invite the general to drink another day." ”

Shadow Moon's personality is different from Shadow Cloud, she is more easy-going, and said with a smile: "Hou Ye doesn't have to be polite, there will be a heavy responsibility in the end, and it is really inconvenient, and he will be fortunate to go to Hou Ye to invite him one day." ”

Sima Ming thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." ”
