Chapter 34 What can Dr. Kong do if he doesn't follow?
The sedan chair continued forward.
When he had walked about twenty miles, Aoeda heard the sound of horses coming from behind, so he glanced back, but saw several people galloping towards him on horseback.
The figures on the horse, although they were all wearing ordinary people's clothes, and the texture of the clothes was coarse cloth clothes from a distance, but they all looked athletic, and they knew at a glance that they were people who practiced martial arts all year round.
Seeing these people, Qingzhi's heart flashed with a hint of badness.
These people can't come here again from Lu Shikang, right?
Due to the distance, it was impossible to tell if these people were the ones she had seen near Lu Mansion and later shot and injured Lu Shikang in Wangjiang Tower.
When he was about to remind Lu Shikang to pay attention to the people coming from behind, he only heard Wu Shan outside the sedan chair say: "Third son, they are here." ”
Listening to Wu Shan's tone, it seemed that all this was expected by them?
However, there are more of them than there are here.
She counted it, and there were five people who came, and all of them were in good shape, but here, only Qi Shan was a practitioner.
When he was puzzled, he heard Lu Shikang say to Wang Lu, who was driving the carriage in front: "Stop the sedan chair, we will wait for them here." ”
When encountering an attacker, not only do they not quickly dodge, but also wait for them to come, what does it mean?
Or does Lu Shikang think that Qi Fang alone can withstand the five of them?
Or did they have a plan she didn't know about retreating?
But the sedan chair stopped after Lu Shikang's order. Wu Shan and Qi Fang also stopped their horses.
She decided to wait and see.
Immediately the men on horseback came to the carriage.
There was no sabre-rattling plot as Qingzhi imagined, and after the person who came dismounted, he stepped forward to the sedan chair and said to the sedan chair: "Third son, we have arrested them, and they will be locked up in Minghu Town for the time being, do you want to hand them over to the government to force confessions?" ”
Lu Shikang lifted the sedan curtain, "No." first tortured them in Minghu Town to extract confessions, and then found a chance to let them escape. ”
Qingzhi heard Lu Shikang say this, and thought that he had heard it wrong.
I just heard what those people meant, it was the person who shot him with an arrow that day and was caught by a few people who are coming now, but he let them run away?
So why are you arresting them?
Wu Shan asked outside the sedan chair at this time: "Third son, why did you catch them and let them run away again?" So what's the point of catching them? ”
Lu Shikang: "If you don't let them run away, how can you find out the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
"But, can we torture to extract confessions? Wouldn't it be easier to find out who was behind the scenes? Wu Shan said suspiciously.
Lu Shikang shook his head and said, "They want to kill me twice, they must have an unspeakable and shocking secret, do you think that the subordinates of the person with the shocking secret will be forced by you to confess to the mastermind behind it?" They would rather die than tell the slightest word about their master. ”
Wu Shan nodded, "The third prince has analyzed it. Then he seemed to feel that his third son was wrong, he had been in distress more than twice recently, so he said: "But the third son, haven't you been in distress three times recently, why are you two?" ”
Lu Shikang: "The first time I was injured in the head and arm, it was not the same mastermind behind the scenes as the next two times. ”
Wu Shan asked in surprise, "How could the third prince know that it is not the same mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
Lu Shikang said: "The first time that group of people injured me at night, there were many of them at that time, but there were only three of us, and they obviously had the opportunity to kill me, but they let me go, which means that those people just want to teach me a lesson." ”
Wu Shan: "Oh, I understand, the first time those people must have been sent by the woman who was burdened by the son?" ”
Lu Shikang glanced at Qingzhi at this time, then turned his face away, and said, "But the next two times, the time when he rode a horse to hit me that day, and the time when he was on the Wangjiang Tower, it should be the same group of people, but they wanted to kill me again and again." ”
Wu Shan nodded again and said, "The third prince has analyzed it. ”
He now feels even more that his third son is really not an ordinary person.
The details that he had never noticed himself, but the third son of his family could notice and analyze it well, which made him admire his third son even more.
Speaking of which, the reason why the third prince wanted to travel this time was originally to lure out people who wanted to put him to death. He thought that this plan was not feasible, but he didn't expect it to be successful.
On the night before he came, the third prince had discussed the details with him in detail.
Send more than 20 Lu family members to pretend to be farmers, set off before them, and take farm tools in the fields to pretend to work.
In their hands, they had a portrait of the archery man drawn by their third son from memory.
The third prince and himself, Qi Fang, and Wang Lu set off after they set off, walking slowly, making the enemy think that the third prince was injured and inconvenient to drive quickly, but in fact, he deliberately slowed down so that they could find traces.
Since they will follow behind, waiting for an opportunity, they will meet the Lu family servants who are pretending to be farmers in the fields.
Because of the portrait of one of them, whenever they appear in the place where the servants are working, they will immediately attract the attention of the workers.
Since the Lu Mansion family members sent out are all people who have been going out with the Lu Governor's Mansion all the year round, they are all strong, and there are about 20 people dispatched, and it is not a problem to clean them up with only six people.
Now they have been caught.
At this time, Wu Shan asked the Lu family servants who came just now who pretended to be farmers: "Where did you catch them and put them in Minghu Town?" ”
"On the outskirts of Minghu Town. The others were on guard, and a few of us rushed to report. ”
"Then you will follow what the third prince said, first deliberately torture to extract confessions, they will not tell the truth, and they will try to escape, and you will follow them to see where they go."
"Yes."
The men who had come got on their horses and returned the way they had come.
Qingzhi understood a little at this time, this trip was originally Lu Shikang's plan to lure the enemy out, so he turned his face and asked Lu Shikang: "It turns out that you didn't travel to recuperate?" But I don't know anything, you have your own plan to lead the enemy, why bother me to follow? ”
Wu Shan couldn't see that his third son was misunderstood, so he hurriedly helped his third son and replied: "Doctor Kong, don't be angry, my third son didn't want you to follow, I was afraid that it would be dangerous if I didn't retreat from the enemy." It was my old lady who insisted on asking you to follow, she didn't know this plan, she only knew that my third son was going to come out to recuperate, and she insisted on letting you follow, because she felt that you were a doctor, and she could help change the dressing, and if you encountered any situation, you could also help heal it. ”
Qingzhi: "Now that the plan has been completed, it seems that we can return to Jiangbei City......
I saw a smile on the corner of Lu Shikang's mouth, and said, "Didn't Dr. Kong say that he was a little bored staying in Jiangbei City before leaving?" So let's move on. ”
Qingzhi said: "Where are you going?" ”
Lu Shikang: "A place that Dr. Kong will definitely like." ”
Qingzhi said: "My favorite is just Jiangbei City." ”
No matter how beautiful a place to go, if she goes with Lu Shikang, that place is under the dangerous wall that she has to hide.
Wu Shan replied to his third son at this time: "Doctor Kong, my third son's purpose for this trip was originally two, one was to lead the enemy out, and the other was to come out to relax. Doesn't Dr. Kong want to go out for a walk? Staying in Jiangbei City every day to see a doctor, isn't it boring? Besides, my third son does have injuries on his body, and he can't change the medicine without a doctor. ”
"You can change him, there are three of you."
Wu Shan shook his head again and again and said, "I don't know anything about changing the dressing. You know what? He turned his head and asked Qi Fang and Wang Lu.
Qi Fang and Wang Lu also said in unison: "If you don't understand, we won't understand." ”
Even Wu Shan, who is the best at doing things, doesn't understand, and still expects them to understand?
Wu Shan: "That's it, so, how can Dr. Kong not follow?" ”
