Chapter 288: A Kick in the Door
"Seriously! That's great! Chu Feng was overjoyed.
Xiao Xu was also shocked.
Chu Junlan hurriedly said: "Uncle Yuan, then please ask you, you must ask this 'spirit dog' to help!" Tell him that if he can help me find clues to the Assassins, I will be grateful for the success or failure of the Assassins! ”
"Third Miss, don't worry, the Cynd and I are old friends, he will definitely help if I come forward, I'll go!" Yuan Kanghu turned around and left.
"Uncle Yuan," Xiao Xu hurriedly chased after him and handed Yuan Kanghu a token, "Now that there is curfew, you ride my horse and bring this, no one will check you." ”
"Yes, thank you." Yuan Kanghu was moved by Xiao Xu's call to Uncle Yuan, took the token with both hands, and walked away with flying steps.
Chu Junlan let out a sigh: "That's good, this is hope." ”
"yes." Chu Feng looked at Xiao Xu with a smile and nodded with great satisfaction, "Shizi, it's good." ”
Xiao Xu didn't know the secrets of the Maoguo Mansion, and Chu Junlan was not a person who chewed gossip behind his back, so he didn't specifically tell Xiao Xu what happened to Chu Feng back then, and he saw Chu Feng a little curious now.
But Xiao Xu was very calm, and now was indeed not the time for him to chat with Chu Junlan. The three of them went back to the study in the outer courtyard to see Chu Hua's situation.
Even with Chu Junlan's silver needle guarding his heart, Chu Hua's face was still visibly decaying, showing a dying state. When Xu saw Chu Hua like this, he couldn't stop his tears, and even quietly thought about how she would live the rest of her life if Chu Hua had a case.
Not long after, Yuan Kanghu rushed back with the "Cylindron Dog".
"Sailing Dog", whose real name is Zhang Fan, is about forty years old, five short stature, standing up straight and just reaching the bridge of Chu Junlan's nose, giving birth to a pair of flexible little eyes, two sparse mustaches upturned, looking at this person's appearance, he feels very obscene.
But Chu Junlan understands what it means to be "people can't look good", there are many talented people in the rivers and lakes, all of whom have different preferences, and not everyone can be as pleasing as Xiao Xu.
Zhang Fan took the dart handed by Chu Feng, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it vigorously, and then focused on sniffing the red silk behind him.
"This should be for a woman?"
Everyone was amazed, it seems that the name "Cylindron Dog" is not for nothing!
"Exactly, the Assassin is a woman."
Zhang Fan nodded, took the dart and sniffed while walking out, chasing the smell all the way to the wall, "It's not raining tonight, although there are too many people walking around outside and making some trouble, but it's not difficult to find this person." Let's go? ”
"Good. Let's go! Chu Zhan immediately shouted.
Chu Yuan also said: "I'll go too!" ”
Chu Feng shook his head and said, "That assassin is strong in martial arts, I am not her opponent, if you go, I am afraid it will be inappropriate to really make a move." ”
Chu Yuan and Chu Zhan were both a little wilted.
Chu Junlan said: "What the eldest uncle said is, in my opinion, it is better to call the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and don't let them break around like headless flies in the city, it is better to set off with us." ”
Chu Junlan's proposal made Zhang Fan a little excited in his heart, and he also received her affection. In this way, one can arrest the assassin, and the other is to let Zhang Fan show his face in front of Shangguan. After all, he is too inconspicuous in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division on weekdays, and is often looked down upon, his fists and feet are not strong, and he has no illustrious family background, what can he do with just a good nose?
Chu Junlan's proposal was very much agreed by the family.
Xu knew that Chu Junlan was going to take an adventure in order to save Chu Hua's life, and he was helpless and reluctant in his heart, so he held Chu Junlan's hand and didn't let go: "Sister Lan, you must be careful." Don't be reckless, don't take risks, and put your own safety first. ”
Seeing the truth in adversity, the Xu family was still sincerely concerned about her at this time, and Chu Junlan was quite moved.
"Mother, don't worry."
She patted the back of Xu's hand, and left the Guogong Mansion with Xiao Xu, Chu Feng, Yuan Kanghu, and Zhang Fan, and gathered the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in one place, and more than 300 people followed behind Zhang Fan, relying on that peculiar ability, all the way to the northwest of the capital.
Their speed was not very fast, and when they were almost ugly, they came to the outside of the Gaojia Inn on the outskirts of the northwest city.
Zhang Fan pointed to the inn and said in a low voice: "I think it should be here." ”
Hu Jinxiong, the commander of the East City of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, is Zhang Fan's top boss, and he had an accident in the middle of the night, he and Ben didn't plan to take Zhang Fan with him, and he didn't look down on his two-handed and three-legged cat kung fu at all, and it wasn't enough to cause chaos when he took it out. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan actually relied on the "dog's nose" to bring them here.
Hu Jinxiong began to regret his negligence, why didn't he inquire about Zhang Fan's background before, and the people who can get in touch with the Guogong Mansion are not ordinary.
With a specific direction, Hu Jinxiong no longer hesitated, and immediately stepped forward to knock on the door.
The inn was darkly lit, and no one answered the door for a long time, which made Hu Jinxiong almost wonder if Zhang Fan was taking the wrong way.
"Boom!"
"Open the door! The official is handling the case, open the door quickly! Hu Jinxiong continued to slam on the door.
Now there was finally movement in the inn.
The shopkeeper answered the door with a frightened face, and his clothes were not properly dressed, only a white cloth vest and a pair of big trousers, and a robe was draped outside: "Come on, what's the matter!" ”
"The official is handling the case and arresting the fugitives!"
As soon as the door opened, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division broke into the inn hall at once, "Let your guests come out, we will search!" ”
The shopkeeper's frightened face turned pale, and he stammered: "This, this, the small shop, was taken by a distinguished guest, no, no, there are no other guests." ”
"Oh? Where do you say the guest is! ”
"Just, in the backyard."
Hu Jinxiong was overjoyed, and he was about to rush in.
However, at this moment, the beaded curtain in the back hall was lifted with a "bang", and a young man of medium height, with a handsome complexion, wearing a brocade robe, walked out with several guards and an old attendant.
"What the hell is going on!" The old attendant reprimanded, "Our second son still has important things to do tomorrow!" If you delay it, will you eat sin? ”
When Xiao Xu saw this person, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she quietly took Chu Junlan's hand and retreated to the back of the crowd, and whispered in her ear: "This is Xiao Yunchang, the second son of King Huai'an." I had dealt with each other in Huaijing before. ”
Chu Junlan was surprised: "The son of the vassal king, how can he leave the fiefdom at will?" ”
At this time, Xiao Yunchang had a calm face and said: "If you want to search for the assassin, you have to come to this son to search?" Could it be that this son was summoned to Beijing, and he could still assassinate the Son of Heaven! It's not easy to button down your big hat, so indiscriminately arranging charges for people, wouldn't the emperor be furious when he found out! How many heads do you have enough to cut by then? ”
Hu Jinxiong couldn't have imagined that if he searched for an assassin casually, he would be able to meet the son of the vassal king, so who would dare to say that he would search? No one can afford to be guilty!
