Chapter 32: The Second Attack
Wu Song saw Liu Mei'er sitting on a corridor from a distance, her hands on the railing, her chin resting on her arms, her eyes looking fixedly into the distance, looking like she was thinking.
Outside the corridor, many of the flowers bloomed in a variety of colours, but they were reduced to green leaves compared to this beautiful woman. Seeing this beautiful scenery, Wu Song was a little stunned for a while, this sassy fox still has such an innocent side.
Wu Song stepped forward, and the sound of footsteps also alarmed the beautiful woman who was contemplating. Liu Mei'er woke up from her contemplation, looked up, and saw that it was Wu Song, so she hurriedly got up and beat a thousand blessings, "Mei'er has seen Dutong, but I don't know what Dutong is here for?" ”
Although Wu Song has a request for others, of course he will not say it at the beginning. He handed over the brocade box in his hand and said, "Yesterday, I heard Sanniang say that you gave me a box of candied fruit, and I will give Mrs. Liu a box today, which is a gesture of gratitude." ”
When Liu Mei'er first saw Wu Song handing over the candied fruit, she was still happy in her heart, but when she heard Wu Song call her, her eyes couldn't help but darken, but she still put on a happy look and pretended to like Wu Song's gift very much.
Wu Song was polite to her for a while, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he finally said the purpose of his trip.
Liu Mei'er listened, smiled slightly, did not agree, did not refuse, she put down the brocade box in her hand, and asked, "Don't mention this matter first, can you answer me a question first?" ”
"What's the problem?"
"As the old saying goes", the moth fights the fire without regrets, according to the capital, this moth is worth it or not in order to fight the fire? ”
When Wu Song heard this, of course he knew that Liu Mei'er was not discussing academics with him, but had something else, he thought that Liu Mei'er wanted to refuse his request, and hurriedly explained, "Mrs. Liu, don't get me wrong, I don't want you to spy on Liu Gao, but I just want you to go to Liu Gao's room to find out if there are any strangers, I believe that with your identity, this should not be difficult." ”
Liu Mei'er didn't give up on this question, her emotions seemed to be a little excited, "Dutong, Mei'er didn't mean this, I just need you to answer me, the moth fights the fire, is it worth it or not?" Her eyes were firmly fixed on Wu Song, as if she wanted to get an answer from his mouth.
Wu Song saw that she was in a wrong mood, and hurriedly reassured, "I have my own personal opinion, if Wu is the moth, he will definitely fall into this fire for what he wants." "Wu Song said that the righteousness is awe-inspiring, in fact, I am already thinking in my heart, first fool you, the Qinglou girl, let you help me this time, before I leave Qingfeng Village, and then I will help you back, and then we will not owe each other, and we will go our separate ways.
Liu Mei'er listened to Wu Song's words, there was no trace of surprise in her eyes, this time, she replied without the slightest hesitation, "I agreed to the matter of the captain, no matter what news, I will let my maid Xiaolian come to report to the captain, please rest assured." ”
Hearing Liu Mei'er agree so quickly, Wu Song couldn't react, he originally wanted to use money or some other conditions to impress her, but he didn't expect to achieve his goal so quickly, surprised, Wu Song had to accept it calmly, fortunately, this is not a bad thing.
Now that the goal has been achieved, it is inconvenient for Wu Song to stay longer, so he left this secluded mansion and rushed to Huarong Mansion.
On the corridor, Liu Mei'er was left alone, looking fixedly in the direction where Wu Song left, "Why did you help him, did you hate Liu Gao, or was you moved by him." There was a sudden confusion in her eyes.
Wu Song walked on the street, and the street was still the same as usual, bustling and lively.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of him, countless people screamed and ran towards Wu Song's side, the commodity shop smashed to the ground, everyone ran to this side desperately, as if they were hiding from something, and there was a faint sound of gold and iron intersecting from the front.
Wu Song was surprised, and then thought of something, could it be...... Wu Song had no choice but to pick up his knife and rush forward.
Wu Song was taken aback by the scene in front of him, several white-faced and bearded people were fighting with more than a dozen officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers were obviously in a weak position at this time. And the person they guarded tightly in the middle turned out to be Hua Rong.
Hua Rong collapsed to the ground at this time, barely supported by the two people around him so as not to fall, he didn't seem to have any strength in his body, and then looked at his leg, there was obviously a wound, obviously a plot.
After Wu Song saw the situation clearly, he hurriedly picked up his knife and went up to help. A few of those officers and soldiers also knew him, and when they saw him come up, they shouted with a happy face, "Great, Wudutong, these thieves are so bold that they dare to assassinate Huazhizhai, you come and help us." ”
Without being reminded by these people, Wu Song had already come to the side of those assassins, and with his unparalleled strength, with just one sword, he removed a person from one of his arms, and the person screamed in pain, lying on the ground and screaming.
Seeing that Wu Song was so brave, the other officials hurriedly withdrew from the battle group to avoid being injured by Wu Song. Wu Song was also restrained, his Longquan knife opened and closed, those people were not opponents of the same level as him at all, and in the blink of an eye, two people had died.
When the men saw that the assassination had been fruitless, they cut the neck of the wounded man on the ground, and all of them blended into the people around them. Because these people were wearing ordinary clothes, it was difficult to find them as soon as they lost their weapons.
Wu Song also stopped the other officers and soldiers from chasing, who knows if this is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, or whether it is the most important thing to protect the injured Hua Rong.
At this time, the surrounding people had dispersed, and on the street, there were only Wu Song Huarong and a dozen soldiers, as well as a few corpses lying on the ground. Hua Rong was supported by two soldiers, came to Wu Song's side, and thanked him, "Brother Wu, you saved my life again." ”
Wu Song didn't take credit either, he hurriedly asked Hua Rong what was going on.
Hua Rong said a few words briefly, it turned out that when he was searching on the street, he suddenly rushed out a few people and injured people with a hidden weapon, although Hua Rong tried his best to dodge, but he was still injured in the leg, although it was a skin injury, but there was anesthetic in the hidden weapon, and Hua Rong couldn't move.
At the time of the crisis, fortunately, Wu Song rushed to the scene and saved Hua Rong in time, otherwise Hua Rong would have been more than lucky this time.
After Hua Rong finished speaking, he said with some anger, "These people really ate the courage of the ambitious leopard, and in just a few days, they actually tried to put me to death twice, if I knew who they were, I would definitely let them die without a place to bury." ”
Although Wu Song was also angry, he thought more about the origin of these people, and he faintly felt that these people might not be Jing Wuwei, because Jing Wuwei's people were arrogant, and there was no need to disguise themselves as ordinary people, so he couldn't figure it out, so he had to accompany Hua Rong back to the mansion first and discuss countermeasures with Song Jiang and others.
When Song Jiang learned the news of Hua Rong's injury, he was also shocked and angry, and when he learned that Hua Rong was only slightly injured, he felt a little relieved. Next, he and Wu Song guarded the Hua Mansion, protecting Hua Rong while discussing how to find out those killers hidden in the shadows.
After all, Wu Song can't stay in Qingfeng Village for a long time, he still has to go to Zhujiazhuang to save people, and he has to go to Tokyo to escort the birthday gang, and take this opportunity, he has to rush ahead of the Jin people to change the weak military force of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise when the Jin soldiers come to attack, the Song Dynasty will face a catastrophe.
Half a day passed, and just as Wu Song and the two of them were in a hurry, suddenly, a sergeant outside the door came to report, saying that there was the whereabouts of those thieves.
Hua Rong and Song Jiang were overjoyed, especially Hua Rong, his face was ruthless, and he didn't care about the injuries on his body, he was about to go up to those people to settle accounts, or Song Jiang was a little calmer, he persuaded Hua Rong, who was hot-headed, and hurriedly asked the sergeant about the specific situation.
The sergeant replied honestly, it turned out that not long after Hua Rong's assassination, General Chen, who was searching the west side of the village, found a group of people fleeing to the Sanyuan gambling house in a panic. Sure enough, as soon as these people saw the officers and soldiers, they put up a crazy resistance, and under the leadership of General Chen, all these people died at the hands of the officers and soldiers, about seven or eight people.
After Hua Rong heard this, he immediately ordered to reward those soldiers for their merits, and Song Jiang was also relieved, after all, it was indeed uncomfortable to prevent a group of people from sleeping all day long.
But Wu Song felt that there was something strange about this matter, but where was the strange, he couldn't say, he always felt that these people didn't seem to be served so easily, but he thought about it, maybe he really thought about it too much.
Next, Hua Rong and Song Jiang began to conduct a detailed investigation into this matter, it turned out that the owner of this three-yuan gambling house was a famous rich man in the original Qingfeng Village, because a group of people gave him a large amount of gold and silver and a promise of promotion the day before yesterday, and also gave him a hand, let him kill Hua Rong within three days, and also threatened his life, helplessly, this rich man had to use his gambling house as a cover to secretly carry out assassination activities, but in the end he was broken by Wu Song twice, and finally fell short.
After listening to the rich man's story, Hua Rong couldn't wait to cut this person into three sections, but the power of life and death in Qingfeng Village was in the hands of Liu Gao, and it was impossible to decide the case without his approval, no, Hua Rong had to put him in prison first.
Now that the murderer has been caught, the big stone in the hearts of Hua Rong and the others has finally fallen, and everyone's topic has gradually become easier, and Hua Rong has decided to send troops to find Wang Jin and the others tomorrow, it seems that as long as this matter is completed, the matter of Qingfeng Village can come to an end.
Late at night, Wu Song, who was resting in Huarong Mansion, was tossing and turning on the bed, he always felt that things were not so simple, but he wanted him to tell what was wrong, whether Wu Song had a clue, and in a drowsy state, Wu Song slowly fell asleep.
