Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Turmoil in Chang'an (5)
Tonight is destined to be sleepless.
Liuchuan Feng took off his night clothes and walked on Chang'an Street in concealment, although he had recovered to seventy-seven eighty-eight, but the pain of internal injuries made him dare not fight more, so he used thunder to deter the guards on Mi Zhu's mansion, and he left after seeing the two people he found temporarily successfully escaped.
He didn't ride a horse, because it was too bumpy, which had a great impact on his body; secondly, the movement of horseback riding at night is too large, which is not conducive to self-hiding; The third is that not long after his Chiyun Pony died, he has not yet gone to find a new mount.
"Damn, I didn't expect the internal injuries to faintly recur, it seems that I can't be too impulsive, first go to Wuhou Ju and wait for the two of them to hand over the things, and then I will quietly return to the palace to recuperate, hehe, this time see which of you can guess me, and then I will come out at some critical moment to scare you!"
While thinking, he smiled happily, his injury improved very quickly, it only took less than a month to get out of bed and walk, and a few days ago he was already able to do some small movements.
After thinking about it again, he didn't reveal the secret to anyone, and he wanted to take this opportunity to do something in secret.
Wuhou lives in the heart of Chang'an Street, there are still more than fifty miles away from him, and now it is the time of Yin, he wants to find a place to rest for a while and replenish his physical strength, he has not drunk water and eaten for almost a day! Then hire a carriage to go directly to Wuhouju after dawn, so as to avoid the leakage of news that he has recovered.
Walking all the way, looking all the way, and finally after a while, he found a good place, which was a secluded and deep place, three or two simple wooden houses, in front of the wooden houses was a large flat rice field, behind the verdant mountain forest, and a small stream, in the quiet night made the sound of "la-la" flowing water.
Taking advantage of the starlight, along the path, slowly approaching the wooden house, Rukawa Kaede politely knocked on the wooden door three times, and waited for a while, but there was no response from the house, but the candle flame in the lobby could be faintly seen swaying slightly.
"Is anyone home? Passing by the treasure land below, I am a little hungry and thirsty, I wonder if the master here can give saliva to drink? Rukawa Kaede shouted outside the door.
After waiting for a while, there was no response, Rukawa Kaede decided to push the door open, and went in to find something to fill his stomach, the wooden door was not locked, but it was just hidden, he pushed it open, and then covered the door with his backhand.
The furnishings in the house are simple and elegant, antique, there is also a pair of ink paintings hanging on the screen in the middle hall, and below is a low table, with wine and tea on it, and a bowl of Yangchun noodles that have been cooled, but it still exudes a faint fragrance, and it hooks out the gluttonous insects of Liuchuan maple.
"Ahem, house owner, I'll eat this bowl, I'll count to three, don't speak if you agree," Rukawa Kaede said a shameless word to the empty room, and then began to count very quickly, "One, three, hehe, if you don't speak, I'll let you agree, thank you." ”
He didn't pay attention to the rules, just sat on the stool, picked up the bowl and began to gobble it up, and ate the bowl of fragrant noodles after dividing it by two, and then drank the wine on the table.
"This wine is quite strong, with a northern taste, not quite like the wine that our people love to drink, is the owner here a northerner?"
Putting down the wine glass, Rukawa Kaede thought about it for a while, and then he walked around the room twice, and found that the layout and decoration here were not like the style of the Great Lie Kingdom, but a bit like the meaning of the nomads of the Northern Regions, but he didn't think much about it, found a big chair, leaned on it and began to rest.
Not long after he fell asleep, the alert Rukawa Kaede heard the footsteps outside, he thought that the owner of the house had returned, but when he thought about it, it was not good that he had eaten other people's things without their consent, but he was still ready to explain it to him and give him some silver taels as compensation.
"Knock knock...... Childe, are you there? I have something to tell. ”
A familiar voice came out of the door, which made Liuchuan Feng's mind blank, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, so he immediately went to the back hall, held his breath, and hid under a large desk, he thought, now he is almost like an ordinary person, he has no combat effectiveness, and the other party will naturally leave when he sees that the person he is looking for is not there, and he is quietly slipping away at that time.
After waiting for a while, the wooden door was pushed open, Hu Lai walked in, he saw the noodle bowl on the table, and muttered to himself: "Childe is really diligent, he got up so early to practice swords." ”
He began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, but then there was another footstep outside the door.
"What are you doing?"
Murong Feng, who was in the dust, asked in a puzzled and angry tone, Hu Lai has always been respectful and polite to him, and he would never dare to go beyond the rules, how dare he steal the things he prepared tonight?
"Clean up the dishes and chopsticks." Hu Lai was asked inexplicably.
"Next time you're hungry, go to the kitchen and find something to eat." Murong Feng didn't plan to pursue it anymore, after all, he was his right-hand man, and he taught a light lesson, even if it was over.
Hu Lai didn't understand too much, but he didn't think too much about it, he continued: "Childe, I intercepted the things, please see if you want to return them to him." ”
"Well, it's useless for us to take it, I'll find time to return it to him, he is also loyal to do things for us, I can't cool his heart, it's just that this guy is old, I didn't expect to make such a low-level mistake, it's really imprudent."
Murong Feng took a cursory look at the thick ledger twice, and didn't find any problems, of course, he didn't know anything about the internal affairs of the Great Lie Imperial Court.
Hu Lai, who was standing silently, did not speak, he was used to being silent and being a cold person, although he didn't like He Fang, a great minister, this kind of guy who poisoned the people was what he hated the most, but in order to take revenge, he had to choose to stand in the same camp as him.
"You're doing a good job, go back and rest, and be careful to hide your identity."
"Yes."
Just as Hu Lai was about to exit, the door was pushed open again.
A ghostly man in black appeared in the doorway.
"Come out." The shadow shouted.
Murong Feng didn't know him, and they were puzzled when they saw him standing in front of the door like this, but his rude behavior had already angered him, he didn't answer him, just looked at Hu Lai.
"Who are you? What to do? ”
Hu Lai took two steps and confronted the shadow head-on, and the two had already begun to compete in momentum.
"Humph! Only dare to bully the weak, but you are also qualified to talk to me? Hand over the ledger. ”
The shadow said coldly, he followed the footsteps of this Liuchuan Feng all the way, he only knew that the strongman who attacked Mifu at night was a tall man in black, and although Hu Lai was a little shorter than Liuchuan Feng, he was also half a head taller than a normal countryman, and he was still wearing a black night clothes!
The shadow is He Fang's loyal subordinate, and he received Mi Zhu's silver taels, so he took the initiative to teach that guy a lesson, which can be regarded as eliminating hidden dangers for his own adults and making himself more valuable.
"Since Your Excellency is so unreasonable, let's see the truth under your hands."
Hu Lai thought that he saw that he had intimidated the two cowardly robbers who wanted to come out to be heroes, and he was also quite displeased.
"Go out and fight, don't break my stuff here." Murong Feng said lightly, not seeing that he was worried in the slightest.
"Okay." Hu said.
However, the shadow doesn't take care of this, he prefers to fight in this relatively small space, using his top-level body skills, he can gain the upper hand, on the open ground outside, there is nothing as a prop, he is worried that he will suffer, after all, this tall guy seems to be not weak.
The shadow took the initiative to attack, and Hu Lai suffered a small loss due to his flexible attack, and he was also afraid that his rough attack would destroy the furnishings in the house, so he was restricted everywhere, and the situation was not good.
"How can this be true? Let go of your hands and feet, don't have any scruples, kill him for me! Murong Feng was still sitting behind the low table, but he didn't drink tea anymore, and he was also very angry when he saw the battle in the field.
Hu Lai got the good news, as if relieved, he lifted a hundred-ten-pound table with his backhand and swept away at the shadow that was really rushing to attack, the whirring sound of breaking the air startled the shadow, he quickly adjusted his direction, and appeared on the beam above Hu Lai's head in the blink of an eye.
The two fought back and forth, Hu Lai gradually became a little defeated, he was already injured, but he still didn't ask for help, just silently fighting with the other party.
Just as Murong Feng was about to make a move to end the battle, the situation changed again.
