Chapter 583: Interception and Killing
The next day, at three o'clock in the sun, Song Jing woke up from his sleep. The first thing he saw when he opened www.biquge.info his eyes was the jade eagle with a broken foot that he picked up on Wolong Mountain that day. He put it next to his pillow and studied it if he had nothing to do, hoping to find a breakthrough in it that was still foggy about the headless corpse.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Are you up, sir?" The master asked outside.
"Up." Song Jing replied lazily, sat up, stretched, and yawned.
"My lord, there's something new." The master said with some excitement.
"What's new?" As soon as Song Jing heard that there was a new discovery, he immediately became excited.
He hurriedly rolled out of bed, and without bothering to get dressed, he rushed over and opened the door. But seeing the master standing at the door, holding a purple pill in his hand, he shook it in front of his eyes, looking proud, as if he had obtained a treasure.
Song Jing stretched out his hand to snatch the pill over, and after a closer look, he found that there was a word "Yu" engraved on it. Song Jing was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly pulled the master in and slammed the door shut.
"Where did you find it?" Song Jing asked in a low voice with a trembling voice, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he looked quite nervous.
"Falling out of the corpse. There was a deceased whose stomach was ruptured. The pill came out of his stomach. What's wrong? The master said aloud, looking at Song Jing in confusion.
"Shhhh......h
"Be quiet and don't let anyone hear." Song Jing emphasized in a low voice, "Do you know what kind of elixir this is?" This is the elixir specially refined for His Majesty by Zhongnan Mountain Chong Xuguan, how could this elixir go to the people. ”
"Your Excellency, how do you know so clearly?" The master asked in a low voice.
"When I used to serve in the Hanlin Academy, a little eunuch in the palace who was waiting for the emperor to change his clothes quietly told me." Song Jing paused for a moment and asked again, "Do both of them have this elixir in their stomachs?" ”
"It's not clear. Only one of the deceased's stomachs was punctured. The other one is intact. ”
"Who else has seen this elixir?"
"Zhang Heng and the servant."
"Go, tell them, don't make a big deal about it." Song Jing said solemnly.
"Yes!" The master went out like a whirlwind.
"It seems that we have to go to Zhongnan Mountain." Song Jing muttered thoughtfully.
The next day, after Song Jing entrusted the affairs of the county government to the chief bookkeeper and the county lieutenant, he and his master rode on a fast horse and rushed to Chongxuguan.
When they arrived at a place called Wumeiling, due to the rugged and difficult road, Song Jing and his master had to dismount and walk. At this time, the forest along the road is dense with dense trees and leafy branches, covering the road from obscurity and gloomy. If it weren't for the chirping of birds and insects around to set off a hint of excitement, this kind of place is really a bit scary.
Because the road was full of craggy rocks and moss, Song Jing and his master led the horses, and they walked very hard and were so tired that they were sweating profusely.
"Your Excellency, let's take a break. I can't walk anymore. The master said almost pleadingly. He was exhausted and collapsed.
"Okay, hold on a little longer. Go and rest under that big tree. Song Jing said breathlessly.
At this moment, there was a sudden sharp sound of "pop". Immediately after, Song Jing's horse neighed twice and took off.
Song Jing was shocked, took a closer look, and found that the horse had a feathered arrow stuck in its neck.
"Look, my lord." The master said in a low voice, pouting at Song Jing Nunu and motioning him to look forward. He was so frightened that his face was earthy and he was trembling.
Song Jing looked back, but saw four masked men dressed in black stopped in front of him at some point. One of them was armed with a crossbow, and the arrow from the neck of the daring horse was given by him, and the others were holding long knives that were shining brightly.
Song Jing chuckled in his heart, and goosebumps suddenly broke out on his body. It was the first time he had encountered such a scene when he was so big. When he met the robbers, Song Jing muttered in his heart, and his whole body trembled involuntarily. Looking at the machetes in the hands of those guys, he was also quite frightened like his master. But thinking that he had to face it no matter what, he had to try his best to control his panic and try to be as calm as possible.
So, Song Jing coughed dryly, clasped his fists, and said with a smile on his face: "Brothers, what do you want the younger brother to serve, as long as it is within the scope of the younger brother's ability, the younger brother will never postpone it." ”
The masked man with the bow and crossbow snorted coldly and said gloomily: "We want your life, you can bring it." ”
Song Jing's body trembled violently, and cold sweat burst out of his forehead. He was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face: "Brothers, we have no enemies in our past life and no grievances in this life, why do you suddenly want my life?" ”
The masked man with the crossbow said viciously, "Someone has paid us to intercept you here." ”
"Interception...... I...... We? For...... Why? Song Jing stammered and asked.
As soon as he heard that he was going to be killed, Song Jing was immediately frightened that the six gods had no master, his soul was scattered, and he couldn't speak.
As soon as the master on the side heard that he was going to be killed, he simply fainted in fright and collapsed to the ground.
"If you have these questions, you can go to the underworld of the Yin Dynasty and ask Lord Yama." The crossbow-wielding masked man said murderously, waving his hand at the three masked men with knives.
The three of them immediately raised the knives in their hands, and rushed straight towards Song Jing like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep. The long knife reflected a dazzling cold light in the scorching sun.
Seeing the three murderers raising their knives and rushing towards him, Song Jing was completely frightened, and stood there stunned, like a piece of wood, to greet the butcher's knives of the three murderers.
Seeing that Song Jing was about to be killed by the masked man, he said that it was too late and that was fast, but he heard three screams, and then heard three screams. The screams pulled back Song Jing's soul that had flown nine days away. He looked closely, but saw three masked men with knives lying on the ground, each of them clutching their necks with their hands, rolling around in pain. After a few rolls, he kicked his leg and stopped moving.
Seeing that his three companions were all killed in an instant, the masked man with the crossbow was suddenly frightened, his legs trembled, and he staggered back.
Suddenly, there was a snort, but when I saw a flash of cold light, there was a scream. The masked man with the bow fell to the ground like a wooden carving, his hands on his neck, rolling around, and soon his legs were kicked, and there was no movement.
Song Jing trembled and walked over to the masked man with the knife and took a closer look, but saw that each of them had a thin wound on his neck. Song Jing took another look, a young man in white with a heroic and cold temperament was looking at him with a smile and a smile, and a middle-aged man turned around and stood behind him, obviously this man had saved himself just now.
