Chapter 32: Friend and Foe Change
The military attache looked Chunniang up and down: "Failed to carry out the mission?" Chun Niang...... You are a strong soldier under your master, and you have also carried out a number of tasks, large and small, and have never failed once. β
Chunniang immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Forgive my subordinates for their incompetence, that Liu Ming is really too smart and cunning, and he fell into his trap with his humble position." β
The military attache said in a deep voice: "What about the other soldiers? β
Chunniang replied, "All the soldiers were captured, but please rest assured that Shangfeng committed suicide and did not reveal any information." β
"They killed themselves?" The military attachΓ©'s eyes were like those of a falcon, "Then why did you come back alive?" β
Chun Niang's heart froze, she naturally couldn't tell Liu Ming about sending someone to rescue him, her mind was racing, and then she said, "It was the lowly who kidnapped a jailer in prison, and then fought his way out of the siege and came back to meet Shangfeng." Do you still hope that Shangfeng will fulfill the previous agreement? β
"The previous agreement?"
Chun Niang hugged her fists and said, "I have completed more than ten tasks for my master, and this Liu Ming case was originally a matter beyond the agreement." I also hope to be fulfilled and let my parents go. β
"But......" the military attache snorted coldly, "today's matter, after all, is defeated, so that the master's elite soldiers will lose most of them, how should this be calculated?" β
Chun Niang's face was not afraid at all and said: "As long as Shangfeng can release my father and mother, I am willing to die!" β
"Good!" The military attache pointed to the stone house, "Your father and mother are in that stone house, you can go and see him." β
Chunniang was overjoyed and said: "Thank you for the success of Shangfeng." β
She got up and walked quickly to the stone house, since she joined this organization, she was able to get together with her father and mother once a year, and the interval was long, just like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl Tanabata Festival. This time, although I knew that my life was short, I was also very happy to be able to save my father and mother.
When I approached the stone house, I saw that the room was black and hollow, and there was no light.
"Dad, mother." Chunniang called a few times, but no one answered.
The military attache drew a dim lamp and said, "This room is dark and not in the middle of winter, and I can't see it very clearly." Your mom and dad sent you something and put it in a mahogany box on the table. β
Chun Niang is a battle-hardened person, and she recalled that the military attache told her that her father and mother were in the house, and now she said that she had sent something, which was a little inconsistent. However, she was anxious at this time, and she couldn't care much about it, so she slowly opened the peach box in the dim light, and under the dim oil lamp, when she saw the contents of the box clearly, her face turned pale, and she almost lost her breath.
The mahogany box contained nothing else, two bloody heads, with their eyes open, and there seemed to be a lot of injustice.
"Daddy...... Mother! Chun Niang screamed bitterly, her legs could no longer stand, and she collapsed to the ground. Flesh and blood relatives have now become two heads that can't speak, how can you endure such stimulation!
Seeing this, Chun Niang bit a trace of hair, quickly pulled out the dagger she carried with her, stared at the military attache and said angrily: "Dog day things, why don't you believe in your words? I've helped your master complete ten tasks, and now I'm back to report on the situation. But you will take revenge! See if I don't kill you, avenge your father! β
The military attache was not afraid at all, and said with a sneer: "I'm afraid you don't just want to kill me." The state capital prison was heavily guarded by hundreds of sergeants. Even if we use our power to save you, it may not be so easy. And how did you get out of there? You still say that you haven't been brought together by Wang Su? β
Chunniang has a hard time telling, naturally she can't say that Liu Ming let herself go because she didn't do anything to the law, she gritted her teeth and argued, "I also saw an opportunity to hold a criminal officer hostage, so I escaped." β
The military attache sneered: "A leader like you belongs to the important criminals of the imperial court, if you kidnap a criminal officer, the other party will have some scruples, then Wang Su is a dry eater." β
"Since you don't believe me...... Then I have to meet with the blades......" Chun Niang showed her dagger.
The military attache saw the dagger in Chunniang's hand, but he was not afraid: "Your Chunniang is considered a good martial artist in the organization." I'm alone, not your opponent. But have you ever thought about it, am I going to just sit still? With a wave of his hand, the lights in the room lit up.
Chun Niang only felt a yin qi attacking on both sides, and when she looked again, two rows of black crossbow arrows were facing her.
The military attache retreated behind the crossbowman, "Chun Niang, you have gone against the will of your master, and if you fail to carry out the mission, you will have to pay the price!" β
Chun Niang looked at these two rows of crossbowmen, the subordinates she brought out with one hand, and when she saw her father's head again, she couldn't help but feel extremely cold, and she looked up to the sky and shouted, "You beasts, I was desperately guarding the secrets of the organization that day, but I didn't expect to end up being wiped out!" β
A crossbow arrow shot out with a "poof", hitting Chunniang in the abdomen.
Chun Niang took a few steps back, felt a tingling pain in her abdomen, and smiled sadly, "Come on, even if I am a ghost, I will entangle you!" β
"At this time, it's still hard-mouthed! Could it be that you are going to go to your lover Liu Ming? The military attache sneered.
"Liu Ming?" Chun Niang's eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness, "He is thousands of times stronger than you!" I really regret taking this task and killing that Liu Ming! β
The military attache sneered, "When death is on the verge of death, I still think of the person you colluded with!" β
Those cold crossbow arrows were ruthlessly aimed at herself, and Chun Niang knew that she was going to Huangquan at any time.
only then did he get out of the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den. Chun Niang sighed at the twists and turns of her fate.
"Come on!" Chunniang clenched her fists and closed her eyes.
"Whoosh" dozens of wind-breaking sounds.
Chun Niang frowned, but felt that something was wrong, she opened her eyes and saw that many crossbowmen had fallen on the ground. When the military attache saw the sudden change in the situation, he was already trembling, and said with a bloodless face, "You...... You ......"
In an instant, the military attache's eyes widened and he fell to the ground. A young man stepped forward and held Chunniang, who was hit by the arrow.
"Liu Xianggong ......" Chunniang was extremely weak, and sweat was pouring down her forehead.
"Chun Niang......" Liu Ming hurriedly took a step forward and said, "I have always been worried about you, so let the guards in the dart bureau guard nearby, I am afraid that you will be in danger, please don't mind." β
Chunniang's face flushed slightly, and she said weakly: "Thank you Liu Guanren for saving me, it's just my parents...... Already a thief......" she gestured to the mahogany box on the table.
Liu Ming saw the separation of Chunniang's parents' corpses, and his teeth trembled with anger: "What kind of hero is killing the old, weak, sick and disabled?" He turned to look at Gao Wudao outside the door, "Today...... The people here don't leave a living mouth! β
Gao Wu saw that Liu Ming's expression was hideous and terrifying, and he knew that he was so emotional that he couldn't listen to anyone's words. So, he swallowed the words that he was going to persuade to leave a few people for interrogation, and secretly glanced at a few dart masters, meaning that he still had to leave a living mouth.
Outside the house, blood splashed, and the sound of weapons intersecting "Zheng Zheng" was endless.
Within half a day, the dozens of crossbowmen who were in ambush were wiped out.
Liu Ming hugged Chunniang and anxiously got on the horse and rushed to the nearby medical hall. Along the way, Liu Ming asked Chunniang to lean her back on her, holding the reins with both hands, and galloping up with the reins.
At this time, it was immediately bumpy, and a strand of Chunniang's hair rippled in front of his forehead, and the natural body fragrance of women soaked into his nose, which made him a little uneasy.
Liu Ming secretly scolded himself in his heart, when is it, he is still thinking about these things of love between men and women, now it is Chun Niang's life that matters, and then he retracted his thoughts and concentrated on riding a horse.
But he didn't know that although Chunniang in front of him was closing her eyes tightly, her face was flushed, the skin of a lonely man and a widow was on a blind date, and the bumps and friction on the horseback made her feel strange.
At this time, Liu Ming felt that the head of the Chun Niang in his arms was deviated, and he lightly opened his lips, as if with the last trace of strength: "Beizhou...... All the answers you want are in Bay State......"
"Bezhou?" Liu Ming frowned, and continued to ask: "You said that the person who instructed this matter is in Beizhou?" β
Chunniang was sweating frequently on her forehead at this time, her whole body was hot, and she couldn't answer anymore, which made Liu Ming extremely anxious, so she hurried to the medical hall.
After Liu Ming felt the medical hall in the city, Chun Niang was still unconscious. The doctor in the medical hall told Liu Ming that Chun Niang was extremely injured, and even if she recuperated carefully, I am afraid that this Chun Niang would take another month to regain consciousness and speak.
Liu Ming was worried for a while, and asked the doctor in the medical hall to take care of him. He looked at the weak Chun Niang, his heart was complicated, and he sighed that the world was unpredictable, two days ago, the other party was still going to take his own life as an assassin, but now, he was worried about the other party's life and death.
He told the doctor again, then walked out of the medical hall, went to the mansion, and reported to Wang Suyu.
It turned out that the two had already agreed on this bold strategy. Liu Ming was originally a scheming and trickster, and when he met Wang Su, a pioneer of the Qingli New Deal, he was also very bold, so he staged this "catch and release Cao".
pretended to release Chunniang, and then led to the real mastermind behind the scenes. Liu Ming didn't expect that his strategy saved the other party. In the palace, Wang Su received Liu Ming's report, half sad and half happy. Happily, the key witness was saved. The worry is that this Chunniang is extremely injured, and I am afraid that she will not be able to recover in a short time, and this clue is interrupted again......
Now, I can only wait for Chun Niang to wake up and act cheaply.
Wang Su sent a team of infantry armor to wait around the medical hall day and night to protect Chunniang's safety. At the same time, he urged Liu Ming to come out of the shadow of this post station as soon as possible, because the palace test was about to arrive......
