The unexpected
As time passed, the waiting in the courtyard became more and more anxious, and the purple girls had already warmed up the meal that had been prepared.
The purple girl hugged her from behind and whispered, "With the skills of the two senior brothers, it will be fine, don't worry so much." ”
Feeling the strong concern of the purple girl, Rufeng suddenly became a little sluggish, what is wrong with herself, she is so worried, with the skills of the two senior brothers, there will indeed be no problems, is it because you are too worried?
Sou! Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang climbed over the courtyard wall one after the other and sat down at the table in a depressed mood, Wei Zhuang directly picked up the wine pot that still had residual warmth and poured it wantonly, Gai Nie's expression was gloomy, "We have been tricked, the whereabouts of Red Lotus and Su Su are still unknown, and we are caught in a great conspiracy whirlpool." ”
"What the hell is wrong, Brother Zhuang, don't be like this!" A handful of snatched Wei Zhuang's drunken wine jug, Wei Zhuang's cold face was full of sadness, and the coldness in his eyes made everyone feel the chill, "I followed the traces they deliberately left all the way to a cottage thirty kilometers away from here, after fighting with a group of minions, they found that their big boss died for no reason, and the person who looked like the leader thought that I had killed him, and recruited a group of soldiers wearing special wooden armor, although the number of them was not very large, but they were well-trained, advanced and retreated, and cooperated tacitly, If it weren't for my brother's help, I'm afraid..."
"Indeed, I have carefully observed their armor, and the only weakness on their bodies except for their necks is that they are exposed only by accident, and only powerful attacks can kill them, which is indeed tricky."
"The two senior brothers are talking about wooden armor, but what does it look like?" Rufeng dipped the wine on the table and sketched the prototype of a pair of armor flashed in his mind, and Gai Nie Weizhuang nodded in unison, which also confirmed Rufeng's conjecture.
"I think they should be barbarians, although the wooden armor is strong, but there is no impermeable wall, the fire can burn the wood invisibly, and it can be easily done with a little trick, but the connection between this does make people feel weird, after luring the senior brother to track, their big boss died mysteriously by coincidence, is this ring by ring to deal with the trap we set, but this level is obviously not able to destroy us, this is what I feel strange, what do the two senior brothers think?"
"Senior brother has analyzed thoroughly, there must be a bigger conspiracy in this, it seems that we...."Before Gai Nie could finish speaking, the sound of Lu Pheasant knocking on the door came from outside the door.
After the purple girl led the hurried Lu Pheasant to the courtyard, before Gai Nie could speak, Lu Pheasant asked impatiently, "Have the two gentlemen found Honglian and the sister?" ”
The silence of the two made Lu Pheasant's heart sprout an unacceptable result, and his voice became choked, "Is it possible, sister, she has been..."
"It's not what you think, eldest miss, the two senior brothers haven't found the indication that they should still be alive, don't be so pessimistic, the eldest lady shouldn't have dinner yet, it's better to sit down and eat together, I just have something I want to ask."
"I don't want to eat, if there is anything I want to ask, Lu Pheasant will know everything."
"Well, there are barbarian settlements about thirty miles away from Pei County?"
"Yes, Pei County is located at the junction of Qin and Chu, Chu has a wide range of races, thirty miles away in the cottage is a branch of the Yue people, and their leader is the one seen in the prisoner car where the son was a few days ago, this person has been repeatedly plundering materials for many years, the county order has sent troops to attack many times but has not been captured, although I don't know why he was arrested, but I think his skills should still be good, by the way, many times I have heard that the Qin army who has attacked the cottage told that there is a group of soldiers in their cottage who can't be cut to death and can't be broken, It all sounds scary. ”
"There is Miss Lao, it is getting late, in order not to cause Lu Gong's worry, please also ask the eldest lady to conceal the truth as appropriate, and I will return the sister to Zhao as soon as possible."
Lu Pheasant excitedly pulled up his hand like the wind, "Childe, great grace, Lu Pheasant is grateful!" Sensing a lot of unkind eyes, Lu Pheasant hurriedly let go, "I'm sorry, Lu Pheasant is in the tense for a while, it's not early, I'll go back first, please ask Son." ”
"You're going to go again?"
"If you don't go into the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger, if you don't actually investigate how to find out the inside story, senior brother, the safety of Meng'er's home will be handed over to you, Brother Zhuang, let's go again, I want to see if they have three heads and six arms?"
The night shrouded the ancient Peicheng, the silence on the streets could almost hear the breathing of the cattle, such as the wind and the cold of Wei Zhuang's body quickly climbed over the closed city wall and disappeared into the night, a pair of bright eyes in the depths of the dark street corner were full of worry, have they fallen in, hey....sigh heavily, the man walked away step by step...
"Is this it?" Although the broken gate is temporarily replaced with wooden planks, it is useless for Rufeng and Weizhuang, and they enter the village silently like flowing clouds, and occasionally hear the shouting of a few men who have not yet fallen asleep.
The snoring sound in their ears from time to time made the two feel a little funny, "With such a guard, it will be killed by people in one night, but the county order of Pei County has attacked again and again, but there is no progress, it's really interesting!" ”
Wei Zhuang nodded knowingly, "The front is the place where the urgent minions came out, presumably their big boss should be here, let's go!" ”
Although it is the largest, it is only larger than the other houses in appearance, and the wind sympathizes with the hardships of these Shanyue people's lives. Quietly pushed open a crack in the door, except for a few young minions who had already fallen asleep, and a corpse covered by a hundred steps stepped on the central bed.
After knocking out the minions who were already asleep, Wei Zhuang lifted the white cloth that covered him, his rough face, and his sturdy body showed no traces of blood, and Rufeng was even more surprised, "This is the human trafficker who was detained in the prisoner car a few days ago, I didn't expect to die like this, but why don't you see the wound?" ”
Wei Zhuangzai carefully swept from top to bottom, and finally found a trace of blood on the inside of the ribs, after turning over the hidden animal skin, a thin invisible wound was cut from the armpit to the waist, and extremely slow blood dripped from the bed to the ground.
After Wei Zhuang covered the animal skin again with his sword: "Being able to cause such a slender wound and oozing blood only after a few hours of death shows that the murderer is a master, and the sword that can cause such a wound must not be an ordinary sword, and things are really getting more and more interesting!" ”
"The sword body is light, the technique is sophisticated, it will kill with one blow without paying attention, I think I should be familiar with this place, Brother Zhuang, let's go first to see if there is any trace of Red Lotus and Su Su, as for this sword, I think I have some clues!"
After the two of them left quietly, they searched all the places that could be searched here, but they did not find any trace of the red lotus.
"Could it be that we were going in the wrong direction in the first place, or is there an unknown secret room here?" After scanning a circle of buildings, the internal force of the Daoist family infiltrated the search, but unfortunately there was still nothing "Judging from the room layout, there are not many residents in the cottage, but it is absolutely impossible to resist the attack of the Qin army with only such a few people, either the county order and the big boss are colluding, or..."
Wei Zhuang's eyes lit up, "Either they actually have another foothold, and it is a larger-scale residence!" ”
"Someone's coming, let's go!" After noticing the footsteps, Rufeng and Wei Zhuang quickly disappeared into the night, and a minion who was supposed to be in charge of the night patrol couldn't open his eyes to check randomly, and then squinted and continued to go back to the house to sleep.
After that, the man with one less eye quietly appeared from the darkness, looked in the direction where the two disappeared like the wind, and showed an expectant expression....
