When the sky was bright, the people who listened to it finally searched the Hanshan Temple in the east of Gusu City. It's just that they didn't come by chance, there was a ritual in Hanshan Temple today, and the mountain gate was closed, and it was not subject to the incense of the layman.

Of course, this kind of thing has no binding force at all for Di Ting. After all, the people they came here this time were all dressed in black and masked, even if behind Hanshan Temple, there were still "royalists" who represented the old forces of Southern Chu; can let go and kill a few bald monks, even if those old bones and scum in Jiankang City want to seek revenge, they can't find the enemy at all, so they can only work hard at Shen Ju on the surface.

However, things turned out somewhat unexpectedly, and it was completely different from what the detectives had envisioned. They had just pulled out the steel knives on their waists, intending to break into the Hanshan Temple, when the two welcoming monks glanced at each other and made way for each other.

There was no forcible obstruction.

Sure enough, outside the stupa behind the temple, they saw a small novice who was collecting his ashes. It's a pity that he was still a step late, and the thief who ran out of the mansion had already turned into a handful of ashes, and it was impossible to determine whether this person was Bai Niao Qin Zigui or Jianchi Jiang Xiaolou. But for these people, with that bloody night suit, they can also go back to the business.

Of course, the incident of them breaking into the temple with knives must not end like this. However, how to deal with the aftermath has nothing to do with the people who listen to it. Just as the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, the so-called president of the Council of Elders is originally the role of listening to the thunder. Just before Xinnankang shines on Huayu, all the pickled things that can't be said on the table will be splashed on Shen Ju's head; Later, Guan Beidou personally stepped forward to eradicate the Council of Elders, royalists and other institutions in one fell swoop, leaving only a plate of scattered Dharma Councils, which was completely sufficient.

At this time, Shen Ju, the "Nankang Great Cancer" who had just returned home, unexpectedly saw a Zhao Caishen who had recovered as before, or even better than before! From this point of view, at the cost of 120 worry-relieving troops, in exchange for Zhao Qining, who has completely recovered from thirst, this business is really worth it!

As everyone knows, in order to save Zhao Qining's life, the price that the entire Nankang Imperial Court has to pay is far more than that; Moreover, the side effects of rejuvenation surgery have also greatly shortened Zhao Qining's death date.

However, when Lin Siwu asked Shen Ju for "consultation money", Shen Ju also made a real difficulty. In all fairness, he didn't intend to repay the debt, but the person who was sent to Youbei to verify the news had just hit the road; In a short period of time, it is impossible to get exact information at all; So he couldn't conjure up a living Shen Gui for Lin Siyou, nor could he tell her a definite fact. In desperation, he could only imitate Di Ting, who pushed the trouble to himself, and pushed Lin Siyou, a hot potato, back to Cao Baiqing's hand.

Zhao Qining, who was used as a bait, had lost all his value, and was finally able to stay in the Shen Mansion to recuperate with peace of mind, waiting for the death that would come soon; And Lin Siwei was personally escorted by Cao Baiqing and embarked on the road back to Jiankang City. There, there was also a highly poisonous Bai Yuyan who was still breathing, waiting for her treatment.

Lin Siwei's medical skills are extremely clever, but as an old woman who is powerless, she has no room for resistance at all, and can only be at the mercy of the truth.

Di Ting is different from the Worry Army, and Cao Baiqing's ability is by no means comparable to Wang Zhi and his ilk. They had already given the secret order about Beidou first, and after they had just taken over Lin Siwei from Shen Ju, they didn't even delay for a moment, and immediately disguised themselves as ordinary convoys, caught up with a single carriage, and escorted Lin Siwei out of Gusu City.

In fact, as early as when Qin Qiu fled to the outside of Hanshan Temple, Shen You, who was waiting for Lin Sixian to return, was also resting in the temple, and the two were only separated by a wall. So when Di Ting's convoy escorting Lin Siwei passed by Hanshan Temple, Shen You also set his eyes on Di Ting's new steward, Cao Baiqing, who was driving the car.

In fact, Shen You can make a move now, first exterminate the spies who listened to him in one fell swoop, and then rob Lin Siwei, and it doesn't take a cup of tea before and after. It's just that Jiangnan Province is not as frequent as Beiyan, not to mention that the official roads are more frequent, and the distance between cities is also very close. In addition, in order to protect the interests of merchants, Nankang began to exterminate Jianghu Dao very early, so the ground became very peaceful. As a result, there are more and more merchants and cargo teams who dare to walk at night, and it is really inconvenient to rob people in such a crowded situation.

However, according to the speed of the travelers, they could never complete the journey of 400 miles in one night; According to Shen You's inference, he had to stop in Qu'a County at least once on the way. Because in this way, a distance of 400 miles is divided into almost equal distances at both ends, but between Qu'a and Jiankang, there must be a dense mountain and forest path. The narrow and deep mountain road is different from the spacious official road; Although there are no bandits in the way, wild beasts are often infested; Therefore, not only is it more clean and remote, but there are not many people who dare to walk at night, which is an excellent place for Shen You to rob people.

Summer in Gangnam Province has always been rainy and cloudy. After waking up, Cao Baiqing found that it was raining lightly outside the window, and he didn't pay much attention to it. However, when the carriage leaving from Qu'a County passed through Phoenix Ridge, the right wheel was finally overwhelmed and made a crisp "click" sound......

The rain-shrouded mountain road is already muddy and slippery; Now the wheels were suddenly broken, and the horse dragging the cart also slipped under its hooves, and Cao Baiqing, who was driving, and Lin Siwei in the carriage, slid to the right side together......

Although Cao Baiqing is not a top master, his reaction speed is not slow at all! He quickly adjusted his body, rolled over and swung off the carriage, and clinged to the edge of the carriage with both hands, thus delaying the tendency of the carriage to topple over; The rest of the Diting spies also rushed to help, and everyone worked together to quickly pull back to the carriage......

It's a pity that the broken wheel can never be repaired again.

"What the is this...... Qiu Zi, go to the neighborhood and see if there is a place to shelter from the rain; Ma Ying, go to the nearest village store, buy a wheel and come back to change it. ”

Cao Baiqing gave an order, and the two Diting spies, who were dressed as young men, were ordered to leave the carriage and go their separate ways. However, they were gone, and no news came back for a long time; After about half a burnt of incense, Cao Baiqing couldn't wait, so he pointed out two more spies and asked them to go to investigate the situation according to the footprints left by their predecessors.

The two groups of people before and after entered the mountain, but they were like stones sinking into the sea, and they disappeared silently. Cao Baiqing stood next to the broken carriage, only to feel that the raindrops falling on his body also became cold and biting, arousing goosebumps all over his body.

"Steward Cao, why don't we go and have a look?"

The two old men of Gusu City, who were originally following Lao Suo, saw Cao Baiqing's solemn face and stepped forward in a timely manner. As the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, they will have to work in Gusu City in the future, and it is really human nature to want to be close to this trusted steward; However, Cao Baiqing waved his hand and wiped his face full of rain, shook his head gently, and rejected the two "old ministers of the former dynasty" who volunteered:

"No, I don't feel good, it's not good to stay here for long. Let's just leave a mark, and if they're still alive, they'll be able to catch up with us. Well...... The carriage is thrown here, and we're on the road. ”

Cao Baiqing had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he didn't want to continue to spend it in this ghost place for a moment; Unfortunately, he had just turned around when the sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh was heard behind his ears......

This kind of sound is very subtle, mixed with the continuous sound of rain, and it is really difficult to attract people's attention if you don't distinguish it carefully. However, Cao Baiqing can be regarded as half a veteran in his listening, otherwise, it would not be his turn to replace Suo Yongkuan's fat difference; Of course, from another point of view, since he can become a veteran, this Cao Baiqing must also be a ruthless character who kills people like numbness!

Murderers, people will always kill them, whether it is the battlefield of the two armies splashed with flesh and blood, or the dark battlefield where there is no light, all the old guys who can successfully survive more than three years may have their own professional level; But the sense of crisis and the desire to survive must be the top level of excellence.

Judging from the two groups of spies who have gone and never returned, the current situation is already very clear, and someone must have come to Lin Si worried about the carriage. Since this person was able to quietly solve the four eyeliners, and was able to hide his ears, quietly approached the carriage, and suddenly burst out and hurt people, Wu Xuexiu would definitely not be under him! In that case, it would be too stupid to give it a go knowing that you are invincible; Rather than expecting your own men to encircle and annihilate the enemy, it is better to hold the most critical chips first, and it is more practical to do so.

Cao Baiqing, who made a lightning-fast decision, didn't even look back; He bent his knees and sprang forward, like a live fish jumping out of the water, and jumped straight into the carriage that had slanted to the right. However, his upper body had just passed through the thick curtain of the carriage when he was frozen in place by the three cold rays that suddenly appeared in front of him......

Lin Si, who was quiet and obedient all the way, raised his right hand flat at this time, and his palm was aimed outside the carriage; Between her fingers, there were also three slender mosquito needles, the tips of which were placed on the eyelids of Cao Baiqing's right eye; Because the distance was so close, Cao Baiqing could not see the needle of the mosquito needle clearly, nor could he close the eyelids at all; I could only let the cold air swallowed by the tip of the needle burn out a torrent in front of my eyes......

"Don't be nervous, kid...... Of course, it's best not to act rashly. Many years ago, I heard a very strange saying. The man told me that human eyes do not feel pain. If what he said is true, that is to say, even if the three silver needles in the old man's hand pierce your eyeballs, they can only make you feel the squeezing force, but you will not feel the slightest pain because of it. Frankly speaking, after decades of medical practice, I am still very confused and curious about this statement...... Do you want to believe that, boy? Or do you want to help the old man distinguish the authenticity? ”
