Chapter 153: The Woman in Black
Xiao Jingcong flashed and flew onto the fence of the courtyard, looked at the timing of the change of guards in the courtyard, and flew into the county office's study from the back window again.
Because he has already investigated it once, this time Xiao Jingcong is also familiar with the road. Soon I came to the study, where there was a bookcase with a mechanism.
When I was about to go over and open the mechanism, I found that the mechanism had been moved, and the hidden things inside were gone!
What's going on? Could it be that the county commander of Chen County had already sensed his intentions, taken precautions as soon as possible, and had secretly transferred all the evidence?
Just as Xiao Jingcong was thinking, a slight breathing sound suddenly came from somewhere in the house.
Although the other party was trying his best to hide, he was still discovered by Xiao Jingcong. When Xiao Jingcong was about to go over and find out the other person hiding in the study, there was a sound of unlocking outside, as if Chen Xianling was about to come in.
Xiao Jingcong was shocked, his eyes looked around the study, and finally landed on a cabinet, the situation was urgent, Xiao Jingcong didn't have time to think about it, so he stepped forward and dodged into the big cabinet, but he never expected that there was a person in the big cabinet.
The man was also dressed in a black night suit, and judging by her figure, it appeared to be a woman.
Xiao Jingcong was slightly stunned for a moment, and then reached out to cover the woman's mouth and told her to be silent.
Although Xiao Jingcong didn't know who this woman in night clothes was and why she also appeared in Chen Xianling's study, but now that they are all hiding in this same big cabinet, it is a grasshopper on a rope, one person has an accident, and the other one doesn't want to get out of the world.
Xiao Jingcong didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so Chen Xianling outside the door found out, so he blocked the woman's mouth, and then snorted coldly.
"Don't speak, or none of us will be able to escape!"
The woman nodded slightly when she heard this, indicating that she agreed with Xiao Jingcong's opinion, and Xiao Jingcong slowly removed his hand.
Sure enough, the woman in black didn't say a word, just looked at Xiao Jingcong silently, and there seemed to be a different kind of emotion in her eyes.
Xiao Jingcong's attention was all on Chen Xianling's body outside, he quietly opened a gap in the cabinet, and observed Chen Xianling's every move through that small gap.
Soon, Chen Xianling walked into the study with a big belly, he first came to the desk, opened a few letters and read them. After reading it, his face was even more angry.
Light the candle and burn all those letters!
"Hmph, what a bunch of things that don't know whether to live or die! You still want to find trouble with this official? Don't ask who Lao Tzu is behind him! ”
Chen Xianling scolded in his mouth, and then walked straight to the bookshelf.
Went to the mechanism, took out the key from it, and walked into the hidden secret door behind the bookshelf.
After Chen Xianling entered the secret door, Xiao Jingcong retracted his gaze and refocused his attention on the black-clothed masked woman in the cabinet.
Xiao Jingcong's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent, and he pressed his sword scabbard against the woman in black, and asked in a deep voice.
"Who are you?"
The woman in black also deliberately lowered her voice, pretending not to know Xiao Jingcong, and snorted coldly: "I don't need to tell you who I am, right?" ”
"You're looking for death!"
Xiao Jingcong's tone became cold, and the murderous aura suddenly filled the entire cabinet.
The woman in black naturally also felt Xiao Jingcong's terrifying murderous aura, and she was determined to strike first.
Thinking of this, the woman in black suddenly made a move, trying to cut Xiao Jingcong's middle lane.
Xiao Jingcong also hurriedly raised his arms to parry, and the two immediately fought in the small space in the cabinet.
After two moves, Xiao Jingcong noticed that the kung fu of this woman in black was very strange, as if it was somewhat similar to some of Beiliang's kung fu.
Xiao Jingcong had fought with the generals of the Northern Liang Kingdom on the battlefield, so he was able to identify this martial arts path. Xiao Jingcong gradually gained the upper hand, and after grabbing the woman with both hands, he asked again.
"Tell me, who the hell are you! Don't say anything, don't blame me for being rude! ”
"Heh, is the dignified peerless general Xiao Jingcong just a despicable man who bullies women and children?" The woman in black didn't hide it, and directly reported Xiao Jingcong's identity.
Xiao Jingcong frowned slightly, and asked in surprise, "You know me?" "Read it
"Who doesn't know the prestige of the unequaled general, who doesn't know? Not to mention the Great Depression, even the entire Beiliang Kingdom is terrified when they hear your name, and the child is too scared to go out in the middle of the night! ”
Although the woman in black said something exaggerated, it was not false.
Xiao Jingcong lost his armor and abandoned his armor in the Northern Liang for several years, and he was unable to form an army, and all the people in the Northern Liang Kingdom were afraid of Xiao Jingcong, in their eyes, Xiao Jingcong was the Wu Anjun killing god Bai Qi during the Warring States Period!
When Xiao Jingcong heard this, he also confirmed the guess in his heart more and more, "You are a spy of the Northern Liang Kingdom?" ”
The woman in black snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "It doesn't matter who I am!" Xiao Jingcong, don't you want to find out who this dog official colluded with and embezzled those disaster relief money? ”
Xiao Jingcong's heart suddenly sank when he heard this, he looked at the woman in black in front of him with some incredulity, and asked in surprise: "This is the secret of my Great Xiao Kingdom, how did you know about it?" ”
"Humph! If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do! The reputation of this dog official has long been stinky, do you need me to say more? The woman in black replied dismissively.
Xiao Jingcong hesitated for a moment, but pulled out his sword and pressed it against the neck of the woman in black.
"Yo, General Xiao, what do you mean by that? If outsiders know about your Da Xiao scandal, do you want to kill people and kill them? ”
"If you don't confess honestly, in order to prevent future troubles, I can only kill you!"
When Xiao Jingcong said this, his expression was serious and murderous, and it didn't seem like he was joking or scaring the other party.
The woman in black also heard Xiao Jingcong's meaning, she gritted her teeth slightly, and hurriedly argued.
"Xiao Jingcong, we are here together today, presumably for the same purpose. In that case, why can't we join forces and find out about Chen County's order first? ”
"Joining forces? A person who doesn't even dare to reveal his identity, how do you make me believe it? Xiao Jingcong chuckled, not taking the words of the woman in black to heart at all. For Xiao Jingcong, there is no need for him to join forces with a strange woman he doesn't know, not to mention that this woman may be a spy sent by the Northern Liang State to spy on the military!
The woman in black saw that Xiao Jingcong refused to cooperate, so she simply gave up resistance, "Okay, since General Xiao is unreasonable, the little woman has nothing to say, if you refuse to let me go, then you can kill me!" As she spoke, the woman in black closed her eyes and looked like she was going to die calmly.
The look of doubt on Xiao Jingcong's face flashed, and then he snorted coldly: "Do you think I won't dare to kill you?" ”
After speaking, Xiao Jingcong's right hand moved, and when she was about to put down the head of the woman in black, the woman in black suddenly opened her eyes, and then threw out a handful of smoke with her right hand, making Xiao Jingcong blind for a short time, and then took out the dagger on her waist and put it against Xiao Jingcong's neck.
"General Xiao, the situation seems to have reversed all of a sudden?" The corner of the woman in black hooked up a sneer, and she mocked Xiao Jingcong triumphantly.
Xiao Jingcong wiped away the smoke, squeezed her eyelids, opened her eyes with difficulty, and saw that the woman in black was already holding a dagger on her neck, and Xiao Jingcong did not have any fear.
"What a femme fatale, so despicable and cruel!" Xiao Jingcong scolded.
When the woman in black heard Xiao Jingcong's scolding, she didn't care, and there was still a faint smile on her mouth, "General Xiao, you are also familiar with military books, you should know what it means to be a soldier who is not tired of cheating!" ”
"Hmph, if you want to kill, you will kill, why do you need to say more." Xiao Jingcong was too lazy to continue to bother with the woman in black.
Seeing this, the woman in black was stunned for a moment, and then removed the dagger on Xiao Jingcong's neck.
Xiao Jingcong saw that the woman in black removed the dagger, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.
Without waiting for Xiao Jingcong to ask, the woman in black took the initiative to explain: "General Xiao, I have already said before, our purpose is the same, we are not enemies, but people who can become companions. Let's take what we need, what do you think? ”
Hearing the behavior and words of the woman in black, Xiao Jingcong calmed down, dispersed the murderous aura emanating from her body, showed a little interest in her eyes, hesitated slightly for a while, and then Xiao Jingcong opened her mouth to ask.
"How do you want to work together?"
"You have also seen that the Chen County Order has entered the secret door, and I don't know where the secret door leads, I suggest that before we leave the county office, don't make a move on each other, after catching up with the Chen County Order, he is at your disposal, I just need to take my things." The woman in black briefly explained her plan to Xiao Jingcong.
Xiao Jingcong did not object, and agreed tacitly.
Seeing this, the woman in black gently pushed open the door of the cabinet and walked out first, and Xiao Jingcong also walked out after her.
Xiao Jingcong looked at the back of the woman in black and felt as if she had seen it somewhere, but she just couldn't remember it.
The woman in black walked straight to the secret door behind the bookshelf, poked her head out and glanced at the passage below, and only after seeing that there was no one did she cautiously walk in.
Whether it is kung fu, tricks, or exploration, this woman in black does not seem to be a novice, and it seems that she has not done such similar things before.
What is the origin of this woman?!
