Volume 2 Ember Chapter 79 Bone-chilling coldness

Wu Cai, who was holding a pile of official documents, walked across the official road, and when he approached the gate, the guard in front of the door suddenly stopped him with a gun, and his eyes were full of danger.

"Brother Guan, what are you doing here?" Wu Cai looked at the guard's half-pushed spear and was slightly stunned.

"Go back!" The guard gave a cold drink.

"What's wrong?"

Before the guards could explain, a group of people dressed in a large body suddenly poured out from inside the gate. The guard hurriedly stopped his mouth, and the half-pushed spear was also retracted, but his eyebrows were still vaguely signaling Wu to leave.

"Let's go!" The guards gave a very low scold.

"Brother Guan, you ......" Wu Cai couldn't resist him, so he put down the official document and walked back.

"Boy over there! Stop it! The black man at the front stopped the sneaky Wu Cai and pulled him back, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I ...... I'm a poor guy here. Wu Cai raised the official document in his hand and carefully told a lie.

"My lord, this kid is a newcomer and doesn't understand our rules. I will discipline the little ones well in the future! The guards hurriedly went up to play the round.

"Poor?" The man glanced at Wu Cai deeply, finally pushed him away, and walked forward, "Then hurry up and do your thing, and don't linger on the official road!" Even newcomers can't be so presumptuous, wild seeds that violate etiquette will be held accountable after all! Got it!? ”

"Dutong?" Wu Cai was a little strange and muttered very lowly.

"This kid! Dumbfounded! The guard slapped him vigorously and pressed his head down, "Thank you, Lord Yan!" ”

"Thank you...... Thank you, Lord Yan! Wu Cai hurriedly bowed down, "Boy, remember Lord Yan's teachings. ”

The man at the head did not respond, but just walked farther and farther away.

But at this time, Wu Cai suddenly saw two things covered with rags in the team behind the man, trembling slightly with the bumps.

He was a little frightened, because he could see what was hidden under the cover. The dark cloth was faintly soaked with a few traces of blood.

"Who are they? Why haven't I seen these soldiers before? Wu Cai whispered to the guards.

"Don't ask so much! Hurry up and report to Director Yi! Just go! The guard roared low.

But after a pause, he didn't hear Wu Cai say a word again. So I looked strangely at the half-crouched child and wondered what he was doing. When he leaned over to look, he found that the child was clutching a greasy smoking gun in the palm of his hand.

He understood everything at once, and it was obviously too late to hide it from this clever boy.

"I was still wondering why Brother Guan, you are so afraid that I will come back to the division. I thought I had made some mistake again," Wu Cai's words were filled with tears, "So that's ......"

"I didn't want you to know, but paper can't hold the fire. You're still young, but you have to face it eventually. The guard sighed deeply.

"I see. Thank you, Brother Guan. ”

The guard was stunned, he wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat and could not go up.

Wu Cai, who was in front of him, solemnly put the cigarette gun into his belt, wiped away the tears on his face, and ran towards the northern suburbs of Liexun without looking back.

From that moment on, this bright child really knew what it was like to lose someone important. It's rare for the guard to be so lonely, he feels that he is so useless that he can't even take care of a child.

"Run! Run...... It's late...... It's already late. ”

His hands were trembling slightly, and it was as if a boulder had been hammered into his chest.

The death of Guo Jie and Jiang Xi means that Lie Xun's ears and eyes have collapsed, so it also means that Wolf Gu has taken over Lie Xun City in an all-round way, and Lu Chi is bent on treason.

His identity has not been revealed, he is still the eyes and ears of Lu Biao, and he has the next inevitable move.

And by helping Yi Yu successfully escape from Liesun City, then they will be able to successfully pull back a game. The Liesun soldiers cruising on the border will all be ordered to be in the hands of the royal domain, and the entire Liesun City will be truly empty.

At that time, whether it is a wolf Gu or a tiger, under the overall situation, they can only flee in panic.

……

"Director Yan, why didn't you just find out that kid just now?" Beitang Sheng, who was following behind Yan Yitu, asked in a low voice, "Wouldn't that be a faster completion of the plan's almsgiving, let alone ......?"

"Beitang Sheng, Beitang Sheng, I thought you would be the most outstanding of these stupid people. I've always believed in this," Yan Yitu glanced at him and slowly smiled, "It's just a pity that you're not." ”

"Director, what are you thinking?" Beitang Sheng's face was gloomy.

"It's not a big deal, that kid is just a remnant, but I'm only left with someone who is useful to me, understand? Clever kids. ”

"Is that kid's role indispensable?"

"Of course not, but maybe letting him go will make things more interesting." Yan Yitu walked through the dark corner and stopped at the loneliest place in Liesun City, the burial place in the southern suburbs.

"I like interesting things, people shouldn't live like this. It's going to be tiring, you know? ”

"So Ning Ye...... He. ”

"Slow." Yan Yitu raised his hand and stopped the footsteps of the wolf Gu behind him, "Just throw it here, I don't have time to place these headless corpses." ”

"Yes!" The wolf Gu soldiers threw down the two burdens they were carrying, and stood behind Yan Yitu with their hands down.

"Director Yan." Beitang Sheng wanted to speak and stopped.

"Ning Ye's old wolf is not easy to deal with, your worries are unnecessary." Yan Yitu stared at Beitang Sheng, "Don't do superfluous thoughts, it will hurt you, be a smart boy." ”

……

Halfway through noon, jade is like a street

Two young people, one in front of one and one in the back, walked in the streets, turning left and right, as if looking for something.

At this time, Sikong Xi suddenly stood still, he slowly retreated, stopped in front of a small stall, and shouted at the busy vendors in the stall.

"Shopkeeper, serve us two bowls of noodles!"

"Okay!" The peddler replied loudly, his spoon in his hand, and his face beamed with joy.

"What are you kid doing! We didn't come out to eat! The footsteps that Gu Key was about to take turned around again, and grabbed Sikong Xi who was standing in front of the stall.

"Alas, senior brother. Everyone has to eat! Sikong Xi put aside Gu Key's hand and sat down on the empty seat by the stall.

"The director asked us to wait for the eyes and ears of the communication on Yuru Street, what should you do if you stop here for a while, and you miss a big event?" Gu Key looked at him with disgust.

"Guest, you're here!" At this time, the vendor standing in front of the stall shouted loudly, walked over with two large bowls of noodles, and placed the bowls on the small table one by one.

"Senior brother, look." Sikong Xi pointed to the two bowls of noodles and spread his hands, "We can't stop eating, right?" Otherwise, the director would have said that we were wasting food. ”

"What a capability! Hurry up and eat! Gu Jian sat down and pulled up his chopsticks helplessly.

"Even though he said that, the director made us wait for the summons on the street, and we didn't know them......"

"You don't have to worry about this, you'll see when the time comes."

"Senior brother, you misunderstood me, I mean let's wait on this street, if the patrolling guards find any clues, then it's all over?"

Gu Key's body stiffened, and he let out a very low grunt, his gaze gradually diluted, and there was obvious panic hidden in his eyes.

"Senior brother, what did you say?" Sikong Xi was slightly stunned, and the noodles he had caught fell back into the bowl in pieces, stirring up the hot soup.

"This business...... It's getting harder and harder to do! At the small table next to him, the vendor complained in a low voice. He carried a large bag of bulging bags with him, and it seemed that he was going out of the city to do business.

"With General Lu here in Liexun, who dares to say anything? You'd better keep your mouth shut! Lest you set yourself on fire, old boy. Another man knocked on the vendor's bowl and motioned for him not to talk too much.

"Alas!" The vendor bowed his head.

Sikong Xi quietly listened to the surrounding sounds, like an open-air cell, surrounded by complaints back and forth, which lasted for a long time. It's just that at this moment, in front of the small table on the other side, there was an obvious commotion among the few people sitting around the table, which was unusual.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Look what that is...... Look! A man with a slurred noodle mouth was half-open, staring straight at the other side of the street. He slapped his partner on the back with his hand, almost knocking the bowl to the ground.

"Slow the! What a shot! The person being photographed kicked the man who was looking up to the ground with a sharp kick, and slowly looked in the direction he was pointing.

"Hanging your head in public?!" He froze.

More and more people have noticed the two things gradually rising in the open space in the downtown area. They knew exactly what was hanging up. People struggled to look their heads there, and their eyebrows and eyes were full of surprise.

It's been a long time since there's been anything like this in Lieson City. The last time he hung his head in public, it was still some soldiers in the army who did not obey Lu Chi's harsh government and insisted on mutiniment. This hanging, if not surprising, will also be a demonstration of killing a hundred people.

The noisy street became more and more uncontrollable, and everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered towards the center of the hanging.

"In the face of the unknown, no matter who you are, you will not refuse your curiosity. No matter who ......" In front of a small table, an old man with one eye stroked the cold noodle bowl and slowly took a sip of the noodle soup. His cloudy old eyes were only a few sparse noodles in the noodle bowl, and nothing else.

"This ...... What's going on! It's like they've changed a lot! Sikong Xi looked at the surrounding residents who were rushing to the center in a panic, and he was a little confused.

"Hang your head for the public," Gu Key pointed to the two long poles that stood tall, and the two swarthy human heads looked like two dark red clods of earth. The hair on the forehead of the human head fell into the air with the drifting north wind, "Let's go and see it too." ”

"Why is there a public display at such a time?" Sikong Xi muttered quietly and followed behind Gu Key.

"I don't know, but I seem to have a bad premonition." Gu Key was a little obviously nervous, but his steps were getting faster and faster.

"Senior brother, don't go so fast! Wait for me! Sikong Xi's fast pace could no longer keep up with the ancient key, and he even began to run.

The further you go, the more congested people become. Guards on both sides of the line were tasked with controlling the disorderly inhabitants. In front of the long pole at the head of the overhang, no residents are allowed to approach. Two guards each held a spear, crossed in front of the pole, and a faint reflection swirled on the cold iron armor.

The ancient key squeezed through the black crowd, and finally enough to see the human head on the long pole. He narrowed his eyes, and some of the blazing glow made it difficult for him to look up. But the tall head was still visible to him.

And from this moment on, the ancient key was really frozen. The head headed by that person was Director Jiang, Jiang Xi, who had discussed matters with Yi Yu before.

"This ...... It's impossible to ......" Gu Key muttered dumbfoundedly, as if vomiting out his soul.
