Chapter 55: The Qiangwu people assassinated
Zhao Po hurriedly shouted: "Shuang'er, go quickly!" ”
Shuang'er subconsciously took a step back, but immediately turned forward.
She looked at Zhao Po with a determined gaze.
Zhao Po understood.
Shuang'er wants to help Zen Zhen.
But......
Zhao Po hesitated and looked at the entangled black shadow in front of him.
Shuang'er has only been learning martial arts for a few months, although he has been praised by many people for his talent, but now this is a fatal fight, and Zhao Po is not worried about letting her join it.
She was about to order Shuang'er to retreat, but the latter had already leapt into two dark shadows with his sword.
Zhao Po couldn't help but exclaim, forcing himself to calm down. But his hand involuntarily clutched the sheet.
Miraculously, not long after Shuang'er joined the battle, the situation changed significantly.
Zen Zhen and Shuang'er firmly have the upper hand, and the future is pressed impenetrable.
It didn't take long for the two to be captured.
The person who came was very athletic, and the patterns on his clothes were also exotic, which looked a little familiar.
Zhao Po thought for a while and reacted.
This pattern is very similar to the clothes of the Qiangwu people I met in the cave before!
"You're a Qiangu?" Zhao Po walked up to the person and asked in a solemn voice.
The head of the person who came was pressed down by Zen Zhen and he couldn't raise his head.
Zhao Po could only hear the rough male voice saying something angrily and quickly in an alien language.
Can't this person understand the language of the Central Plains?
"Look at him, I'll call Song Jue. …… Forget it, let's go straight to the small black house. ”
Inside the small dark room.
After Zhao Po explained the cause of the incident to Song Jue, he asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Song Jue did not answer.
He walked up to the Qiangwu people and spoke fluent Qiangwu.
At first, the Qiangwu people just turned their faces away and ignored them.
But it didn't take long for the Qiangwu people to speak.
Then, the Qiangwu people seemed to quarrel with Song Jue, and the more they quarreled, the more fierce they became.
After a stick of incense, Song Jue took Zhao Po out of the house.
"What did you just say?"
"He and the people in the cave before were in a group, all sent by the three princes of the Qiangwu tribe in the Western Regions, and came to assassinate me. To kill you today is to see the wrong person. ”
"Why would anyone in the Western Regions want to kill you?"
"Probably came to the position of the governor of Huadu. The specific matter may not be known until tonight. ”
"Tonight?" Zhao Po suddenly realized something, "You want to torture to extract a confession?" ”
"Yes." Song Jue nodded. Seeing that Zhao Po's face was wrong, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's not good to use torture for yourself." Zhao Po said hesitantly.
"I know that my wife has a good heart, but in order to live, sometimes you have to be ruthless. You understand that, too. ”
"I do understand. Just ......"
"Madam, if you don't know who is behind him and what the purpose of his assassination is, I can't guarantee your safety. I can't afford to lose you. ”
"But he really doesn't know the mastermind behind the scenes and the purpose of the assassination?"
"Whether you know it or not, you will know after the trial."
Zhao Po opened his mouth, but finally didn't speak again.
What Song Jue said was the truth.
Zhao Po has been in a society governed by the rule of law for a long time, and he does not know how to behave in this world where the legal system and law enforcement capabilities are not perfect.
She was silent and returned to her room.
This time, Zhao Po's irritable mood couldn't even suppress the account book.
She went to the study to find a few books in Qiangwu and decided to numb herself with learning.
The night was deep, and Zhao Po lit a few more candles.
At this time, the trial should have begun.
She hesitated for a while, but finally walked towards the small black room.
Before he entered the house, he heard a scream.
In the cold and cold wind of the dark night, Zhao Po couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
She walked slowly forward, getting closer to the room, and the smell of blood grew. The figure tied to a wooden frame is reflected in the window paper.
Zhao Po's body trembled uncontrollably, there was a scream in his ears, the tip of his nose was the smell of blood, and there was a black shadow in front of him.
She pushed the door hard, and the heavy old door creaked open.
When Zhao Po saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly felt a sour sensation in his throat.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Po leaned over and retched.
Soon, she was carried out of the house.
The smell of blood faded away, replaced by the familiar faint scent of bamboo.
Zhao Po grabbed Song Jue's sleeve weakly with prostration with both hands: "Don't try it again, Song Jue, I beg you, don't try it again." Give him to Dali Temple, okay? ”
Song Jue took a deep breath, picked up Zhao Po, who couldn't help but tremble, and said softly: "Okay." ”
In the warm and safe embrace, Zhao Po finally stopped trembling slowly.
After she was carefully put back on the bed by Song Jue, she quickly fell asleep.
At noon the next day, when Zhao Po woke up, his throat seemed to be cracked. My nose was stuffed and my head was dizzy.
It seems that he contracted a cold last night.
Zhao Po was about to get up and pour water, but found that there was no teapot on the table.
When I turned my head, I saw that the teapot had been placed in front of the small stool at the bedside.
Zhao Po gulped a few cups of tea, and his throat felt better.
She got out of bed and wanted to go to the closet and get dressed.
At this moment, the door was opened.
She looked and saw that it was a double child.
Shuang'er saw Zhao Po leave the bed, and hurriedly ran to support her: "Miss, why do you still get out of bed and run around when you are sick?" Get back to bed! ”
Zhao Po was pulled back to the bed by Shuang'er, and said helplessly: "No, isn't it just a risk?" ”
"What a precious body the young lady is, why don't you know how to cherish it." Shuang'er said complainingly, twisting the corners for Zhao Po.
"Shuang'er, you were so powerful yesterday!" Zhao Po praised.
"Hey, thank you, Miss. The second lady and Mrs. also said that I am making rapid progress, and the second lady is a little angry now. ”
"Xiao Jin is this kind of heart. She has studied martial arts for so many years, and she was caught up by you so quickly, so she naturally felt uncomfortable. Let's ignore her. ”
"Actually, what the second lady said was angry, taught me to be able to teach me with heart." Shuang'er said with a smile.
Zhao Po also smiled. "Eh, by the way, did she mention apprenticeship to you?"
"Apprenticeship?" Shuang'er thought for a moment: "Second Miss does seem to have said recently that I should call her master." ”
"Haha, I know."
"Know what?" Shuang'er asked suspiciously.
"She's trying to take advantage of you and get your light. In martial arts, the seniority of this master and apprentice is very important. If you think of her as a master, if you have a future in the future, people on the rivers and lakes will have to respect Xiao Jin a little bit. ”
"Shuang'er just wants to stay by Miss's side and serve Miss, and doesn't want to go to the rivers and lakes. However, my martial arts were originally taught by the second lady from the beginning, and it is natural for me to call her Master Sheng, and there is nothing to take advantage of. Shuang'er said seriously.
Zhao Po rubbed Shuang'er's head: "My good Shuang'er is good." By the way, do you know where Song Jue went? ”
Shuang'er shook her head: "I don't know either. Early this morning, Wei Feng hurriedly called Gongzi away, saying that someone was missing. ”
Zhao Po said "oh" in his heart, and the good mood he had just saved disappeared.
Yesterday's Qiangwu people, fled?!
