Chapter 12: The Inkman
When ordinary people and others arrived at Xicheng Pass, it was already late, and the handover of duties had to wait until the next day.
Ordinary people are now the head of the General's Mansion, and there is no need to live in the barracks anymore, but there is no place to go for the time being, Li Jing arranged for ordinary people to temporarily live in the General's Mansion, and ordered others to send the horses to the backyard stables.
In the front hall of the General's Mansion, Li Jing called the housekeeper: "Uncle Yu, this is the new Chang Changshi."
"The old slave has seen Lord Changshi", Yu Bo is of medium height, dressed in a dark gray robe, his hair is neatly combed, he has a gray goatee, and his face is full of wrinkles, but his eyes are blazing, and he looks very tough.
is a business backbone, ordinary people quickly concluded, "The kid has seen Steward Yu." ”
Li Jing said: "Chang Changshi has no place to live outside for the time being, so I am tired of Uncle Yu to temporarily settle him in the general's mansion, and then make a decision after the general returns."
Yu Bo pondered for a moment, "There are still two empty rooms left in the back house of the mansion, one is next to the boudoir of the lord of the county, and the other is ... ”
"Let's just another room," the ordinary man interrupted Yu Bo and said.
"This ... Yu Bo wanted to speak and stopped, "Then live in that room temporarily according to the request of Lord Changshi, that room is also very clean." ”
"Hmph", Li Jing shook his head and walked towards the inner house, and shouted before his back disappeared, "I will live in the General's Mansion tonight and return to the barracks tomorrow!" ”
"No! The county lord rested earlier," Uncle Yu saluted in the direction of Li Jing.
"This girl, what kind of wind is she smoking" ordinary people smiled bitterly.
Yu Bo was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, carrying a lantern to lead ordinary people to the back house.
Passing through the porch, a general in the house suddenly appeared on the right side, and when he saw the ordinary man and Yu Bo, he was stunned for a moment, and then bowed to the two, and then left in a hurry.
Ordinary people stared at the back in the distance, feeling as if they had seen it somewhere, ordinary people's eyes narrowed slightly, "Uncle Yu, who is this?" ”
"Xingche is procured in the house, this person is a patriot, and because he is proficient in the multi-ethnic languages outside the Guan, he is responsible for trade with foreign merchants."
"This person also lives in the General's Mansion?"
Yu Boluo nodded, "Changshi will go this way."
Seeing that Uncle Yu didn't want to say more, ordinary people didn't ask any more, and followed Uncle Yu through the two doors, "Isn't it a stable over there?" ”
Yu Bo nodded, "Yes, this last room is on the back of the stable, and the house is clean, but the environment is a little noisy, and I have been wronged for a long time." ”
"It's out of the way, I sleep heavily, and the thunder can't move, hehe." Ordinary people secretly think: The yurt has been sleeping for three years, how bad can this be compared to the yurt?
Walking to the front of the house, ordinary people suddenly stopped, their faces sank, and their eyes were staring at Steward Yu.
Uncle Yu was frightened by the sudden changes of ordinary people, and asked tentatively: "If Lord Changshi is not satisfied with this place, then he can live in the old decay for the time being, and I will move here."
Ordinary people actually heard the sound of breathing in the house, thinking that this housekeeper was playing something, after all, there was still a Hun undercover agent who had not yet been caught, but at this time, looking at his expression, it really did not look like he was in the know.
Ordinary people turned to smile, "Ah, Uncle Yu misunderstood, I just remembered something, just send me here, Uncle Yu, please go back." ”
Steward Yu saw that ordinary people were uncertain, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he retired after a few words.
Seeing that there was no one left and right, ordinary people took out their "daggers" and walked to the window, leaned sideways and pried the window open with a dagger, and while lifting the window up suddenly, they quickly jumped in front of the door, knocked open the front door and fell to the ground.
Just listen to Ding! With a thud, something was nailed to the overhead door frame. Ordinary people jumped in the direction of the hidden weapon, and just landed, a cool breeze swept towards their feet, the angle and timing were just right, ordinary people could not avoid it, so they had to use the dagger in their hands to take a hard move.
Click! The opponent's weapon was easily cut off by Chang Dagger, "Good sword!" cough cough", in the dark, the other party thought that ordinary people were using swords.
Obviously, the opponent had been seriously injured before, and at this moment, he was counterattacked by ordinary people's internal forces, and he was unable to attack again.
The ordinary person took the opportunity to retreat, the dagger was protected in front of his chest, and the other hand took out the fire fold, "What person?" ”
The room gradually lit up, and in one corner of the room, an old man with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth curled up on the ground, holding a half-cut short sword in his hand.
The mouth of ordinary people turned into an O-shape again, "Are you an old boy feeding horses?" ”
"Hehe, cough, cough, ink master Jiang Shang, Chang Da Hero smiled," the old man coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said with a smile, looking a little hideous.
"I just think there's something wrong with you old man, I don't owe you any money, why do you want to assassinate me?"
"Hehe, have you ever seen an assassin like me? With your swordsmanship, it's easy for me to kill you. ”
Ordinary people thought about it for a while, with the sword that this old man came out of the dark, he was indeed a kendo master, if he hadn't been seriously injured before, he might not really be an opponent, so he took the dagger, lit the candle in the room, and walked towards Jiang Shang.
"I believe you, but in the middle of the night, your old man is hiding in my house with a sword, who is not afraid!" As he spoke, ordinary people picked up the old man and put him on the bed, covered the old man with the quilt, and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Wait!" Jiang Shang grabbed the hands of ordinary people.
"I'll go find you a doctor, you see you are like this, spitting blood in your mouth."
"Cough, cough, it's useless, I know my injury, my opponent's swordsmanship is fierce, my mind is vicious, and at the last moment I actually used a lose-lose play, desperately stabbed in my right leg, breaking my vitality, cough cough, it's also my carelessness, but God still cares about it, and I can still meet you before I die."
"Phew, phew! Good luck. I'll find a doctor to cure you, don't die, die. ”
"Hehe, ordinary people, time is running out, you let me finish speaking."
Ordinary people saw that the old man suddenly had a red face, and knew that it was a return to the light, so they sat down quietly and listened to the old man's last words.
"I'm the Ink Artist - Jiang Shang! My Mohists believe in both love and non-aggression, and the giant sent Mohists to help countries avoid wars and disputes. I hid in the border fortress on the order of the giant and secretly assisted General Li Mu. The person who seriously wounded me today is a secret agent of the Huns lurking in the general's palace. ”
Ordinary people were shocked.
Jiang Shang continued: "At the beginning, I found that someone colluded with the Huns, so I secretly investigated, I didn't expect this person to be superb in swordsmanship, ruthless, I was unfortunately injured under his hands, desperately resisted, providence let you return home at this time, so that I have the opportunity to be injured and hide in this perennial no one's hut." ”
Ordinary people secretly shouted ashamed, even if it was Jiang Shang who came first, who would know that he would choose to live here tonight.
Jiang Shang continued, "So far, I have only found out that this person is from the Yan Kingdom, not the Huns, but unfortunately I have not seen the other party's face, and now that this person's appearance is exposed, he wants to kill me."
Ordinary people: "Don't worry, I will find out this person, you take care of your injuries first"
Jiang Shang smiled bitterly, "You don't have to comfort me, for the sake of the world, it's not a pity for the ink to die, but I still have an important thing to do, and now I have to entrust it to you, cough, cough." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say, I'll do my best."
"I have a senior sister who lives in seclusion at the foot of Wutai Mountain all the year round. I have something to hand over to her," said Jiang Shang and took out an oilcloth bag from his arms, "This is a fragment of my Mo family's tricks, I hope you can personally hand it over to my senior sister." My senior sister is named Ji Wushuang. ”
"Mojia tricks? I seem to have heard that it is very bullish, can you rest assured that I will leave it to me? ”
"Ahem, hehe, hahaha, the dying man has no choice, besides, I see that the bracers in your hands and the weapons you used just now are all exquisitely made, and they are absolutely extraordinary, how can you peep at the fragments of the old man."
Ordinary people secretly thought: This old man has really thief eyes, and he has a careful mind. I'm dying, and I'm wearing a top hat, knowing that once I'm dead, the items on my body will be mine sooner or later, and at this time I'm embarrassed to keep the owner of the relic.
Thinking of this, ordinary people think that it is better to communicate with Mongolians, but Jiang Shang is right, with the technology of the Earth Alliance in the future, this Mojia machine technique is really useless to ordinary people.
Seeing that ordinary people were hesitating, Jiang Shang suddenly sat up from the bed, his eyes were wide open, and he grabbed ordinary people with both hands, "Promise me, you must find my senior sister, you help me, I will help you......"
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Shang was silent, ordinary people stretched out their hands and shook them in front of the old man's eyes, touched the neck artery again, and sighed: "I promise you, senior, you go well", ordinary people closed the old man's eyes with their hands.
After placing the old man's body, the ordinary people put away the oilcloth bag, and went out of the room and went straight to Li Jing's residence.
