Chapter 345: Sinners
After the army brought by Xiong Lishui evacuated Lingcheng, the people returned to their residences on the ground, and Xiaodong Xiaoxue and the others naturally returned to the Lu family.
Strange to say, the place that used to be heavily guarded, I don't know what is going on today, there are only three or two soldiers guarding, next to some low walls, there are no soldiers guarding, Xiong Er looked at these scenes, his heart was pounding, and he felt a little uneasy and scared for some reason.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Xiong Qianshui, who walked in front, didn't know why, and looked back at him.
Because Xiong Lishui was not very familiar with the topography of Lingcheng, he had to be taken by Xiong Er to go to the Lu family, and now that Xiong Er was not leaving, he would naturally lose his way, so he was a little annoyed.
"If we continue to grind like this, I'm afraid we will all fail!"
Xiong Er shuddered suddenly, and nodded with a pale face: "Cousin, don't panic, I understand the urgency of the situation, I'll take you over." He said as he led the way for Xiong Qianshui.
In the time lurking in Lingcheng, one of the things Xiong Er did most often was to walk around and observe the terrain, and now quietly went to the Lu family to steal the child, which was not difficult for him, but he was a little hesitant. Gritting his teeth, Xiong Er looked back at Xiong Shui several times before he mustered up the courage to ask the confusion in his heart at this moment.
"Cousin, don't you think it's too dangerous?"
Since the last time Su Ying'er failed to steal the child as a hostage, the number of soldiers sent by Lu Li to protect the child has doubled, and this scale can really be said to be that flies can't touch the little boy all the time, let alone the two of them?
Xiong Er hasn't lived long enough, and he doesn't want to accompany Xiong Shui to death now.
Xiong Qianshui over there didn't even know how to do it, and sneered: "Your idea is too ridiculous, let me ask you, there is absolutely no danger in doing anything in the world?" What we have to do is to take the biggest risk to grab the biggest prize just like the gamblers in the casino! Lu Li is worried about the two children, and he can't be by the children's side for twelve hours a day, but he is also a human being, there will always be times when he is sleepy and lax, what we should do now is to take advantage of their slackness! ”
As long as they can firmly control Xiaodong Xiaoxue in their hands, they have infinite possibilities!
While talking, the two of them had already come outside the walls of the Lu family.
I don't know why the wall is very low, and it is usually guarded by people, but today I don't know what happened, and there was no one.
Xiong Er originally wanted to persuade Xiong Shui to calm down, and it would be better to wait for some time to observe before stealing people, but the other party didn't want to listen to him at all, not only did he refuse to listen, but he also laughed at Xiong Er for becoming like a woman's mother-in-law after entering Lingcheng, but it was just one thing, and he had to think about it!
Xiong Er was angered by him, and he didn't bother to care about the anxiety in his heart, so he directly followed Xiong Lishui and climbed into the wall.
After successfully entering the Lu family, they found that there was a problem in front of them, that is, the whereabouts of Xiaodong Xiaoxue now, neither of them had entered the Lu family, and the only understanding of this mansion was from the map drawn by Su Ying'er herself. But Su Ying'er is not a person who is good at painting after all, and the map or something is even more vague.
Which road can be walked, which road can not be walked, Xiong Lishui and Xiong Er still studied it for a long time before they could see it, because it was too troublesome to look at the map, and later, they decisively chose to give up the map, but grabbed a weak little maid to come over and ask for directions. As a result, I never expected that the little maid looked weak, but her actual strength and voice were very strong.
As soon as she saw an unfamiliar face in the house, she ran away quickly, and after a while, the wind seemed to be gusting and she ran away, and at the same time, her voice was still echoing in the void.
"Madame! They're here! ”
In just one sentence, Xiong Er and Xiong looked at each other.
What did she mean by this, could it be that An Xiabai had already guessed that he would come to this place?
Before Xiong Qianshui and Xiong Er could figure out the ins and outs of the matter, An Xiabai and Ruqing had already hurried over here with people.
It turned out that Ruqing found that even though Xiong Lishui was wearing similar clothes as the refugees in front of the city gate, he was still very different from ordinary refugees in temperament, so she quietly followed them, and when it was determined that their purpose was Xiaodong Xiaoxue, she reported to An Xiabai, and the two of them were in the Lu family, and decided to make a trap in the Lu family.
Judging from the appearance, the Lu family did not have many guards at this time, and in fact, the number of guards was more than twice as many as usual, but they did not lie in ambush outside, but hid in the small courtyard where Xiaodong Xiaoxue lived, just waiting for Xiong Er and Xiong Qianshui to come out and catch turtles in an urn!
An Xia Bai counted it for thousands of years, but he didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen to them halfway!
Sneaking into someone else's house to implement his own plan, but he didn't even understand the layout of the other party's house, such a reckless thing, it is estimated that only Xiong and Shui did it, right?
It is thanks to them that An Xiabai has an additional activity to catch people.
After all, the Lu family is their own territory, and Xiong Qianshui and Xiong Er didn't make preparations when they came, so they couldn't even find where the gate was, so they were easily caught by them, and then tied a strong knot with hemp rope.
At this time, Lu Li also rushed back home.
Knowing that stealing Xiaodong Xiaoxue was not thrilling, and even the two who stole people were caught without much effort, Lu Li felt a little emotional.
"Now, are you still planning to resist stubbornly? Don't forget that this is Lingcheng, even if the army outside wants to rescue you, you have to break through the city before you can save people, and you have no second choice at the moment. ”
The calm words fell on the ears of the two people who were arrested, like fireworks exploding in their ears.
panicked in his heart, but after all, he is a veteran, and he is also a general who has really been on the battlefield and has been born and died, Xiong Lishui's psychological quality is much better than Xiong Er's.
I saw him staring at the ground without changing his face, and his expression was obscure.
Since then, Lu Li has become a little more interested in his whole person.
"You look up."
Xiong Lishui thought to himself that he was doing things for King Li, if he was recognized by Lu Li, maybe he would use himself as a bargaining chip to blackmail King Li, and he would only be worse than now, so he still lowered his face, not daring to let Lu Li see himself at this time, and the expression on his face.
But after all, a prisoner is a prisoner, where does he have the right to resist?
He didn't want to raise his head to let Lu Li see it, and his own guard pinched his chin.
"It's you!"
Lu Li's uncontrollable words made An Xiabai look surprised, no matter what happened before, the husband was able to stay calm, why did he suddenly lose his temper today?
Out of concern for Lu Li and worry about the situation, An Xiabai hurriedly asked, "Husband, do you recognize this person?" ”
Lu Li thought to himself, how could he not recognize it!
There are not many generals under King Li, Xiong Lishui is the right-hand man he relies on, as a person who has worked under King Li, how can he not recognize this benevolent brother?
"He is one of the most relied on generals under King Li, his name is Xiong Qianshui, madam, do you remember the woman who infiltrated Lingcheng and tried to steal our children before? That Su Ying'er is his wife, and if she dared to come to Lingcheng to steal people before, she must have been instigated by the one in front of her. I really didn't expect that they would dare to come, because they felt that it was not enough to steal people once, and they had to come to the door for the second time to send them to death? ”
The more Lu Li's words went on, the more ugly his face became.
Xiong Lishui was apprehensive, cautiously looked at Lu Li's face, and tried to exchange something for his life: "If you leave me alive, I can tell you a secret of King Li!" ”
"It doesn't seem right that you said that, don't I know the secret of King Li from you if I don't spare your life? You must know that there is still a little difference between dying happily and being executed by Ling Chi. ”
Xiong Qianshui's face changed greatly when he heard this.
A battle-hardened person can become flustered by the situation in front of them, let alone those who have not experienced it.
Xiong Er was already so frightened that he fell to the ground, and every muscle in his body trembled because of the word fear.
"Don't kill me! Whatever you want to know, I'll say it all if I can! Never dare to hide a word! All I want is that you will spare my life! ”
Over there, Lu Li was interrogating Xiong Qianshui, and An Xiabai decided to interrogate Xiong Er himself: "If there is anything that should be explained, you can explain it all, if you are more cheerful, maybe we can also consider treating you lightly." ”
Xiong Er's face was happy, and even there was a bright light in his eyes, like a person who had been in the dark for a long time suddenly saw the light, he kowtowed three times in a row, until he broke his skin, and blood continued to flow out of the wound, flowing all over his cheeks, Xiong Er did not stop.
It can be seen that he is really obsessed with living, otherwise he would not have said so many things.
All the good and bad things he had done in Lingcheng were counted by him, and one of them made An Xiabai feel different when he said it.
"You said you once murdered a young woman in a small village not far from Lingcheng........"
Xiong Er nodded in fear.
"There were just the two of us in the abandoned village, and I didn't want to do it, but I couldn't help it, she was so good-looking...... But I didn't do anything to her, I just crippled her leg and let her go without hurting her life......"
An Xiabai's heart sank suddenly.
She was silent for a long time before she tentatively asked Xiong Er about the specific date and the young girl's physical features.
Xiong Er said with an embarrassed face that it had been a long time since that incident, and he really couldn't remember what the specific date was, but he vaguely remembered that the girl's physical appearance was special.
Then he described the woman's appearance with An Xiabai, and said the approximate time.
An Xiabai's body shook and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Lu Li quickly helped the person up.
"Madame, what's wrong with you?"
