Chapter 0315
Fengdu City, a single courtyard of the agricultural government.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Big lady, those medicinal materials must be prepared by Li himself, and only Li can enter the medicine garden, without Li going in person, the guards will not let anyone enter ........."
Although Nong Bufeng is also respectful of this bad wife, he has been immersed in the grass and tea in the past two years, and he has already changed as if he was a person, and he continues to take concubines.
Nong Li was left out in the cold, and naturally had resentment in her heart, but it can also be seen from her performance in the past two days that she is also dedicated to Nong Bufeng, and she did not fly alone in a big disaster.
βββ she came from a hard life, and she knows better than the other concubines.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Just as Nong Li was still hesitating, there was a commotion outside the courtyard.
Ning Xiao, under the leadership of Ning Kexuan, hurried over.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ning Kexuan walked into the courtyard and found that the book was guarded without a smile and a long sigh.
"I'm not hungry for books, it's a pity........." Ning Xiao looked directly at the books and said meaningfully.
Shu Bu's eyes were a little dim, but he quickly raised his head and said with a wry smile: "Elder Ge, I can only say that I can't conspire with each other.........
Ning Xiao snorted noncommittally, and then said: "The old man is about to enter the earth, and he doesn't want to wade into troubled waters again, but since the old man dares to call Li Taiping a junior, then he can't allow others to move him, you go back and tell that person, even if you let the horse come, the old man will follow!!"
After Ning Xiao finished speaking, he didn't wait for the book to answer, and walked straight into the room.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Shu Bu looked at Ning Xiao's slightly upright back, as if he saw a big mountain, and when the fog dissipated, he found that although this mountain was ancient, it was still insurmountable.
This old man is like a bad old man walking his old dog at the entrance of the village.
But who still remembers that this person also went up to the mountains to fight tigers and went down to the sea to capture dragons?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"After all, I still tore my face and came to this point......... "Shu Bu sighed softly, and then took a group of secret agents, carrying those boxes, and left.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Seeing Ning Xiao come in, Xu Jiu's face suddenly became happy.
But Li Moyi couldn't be happy, he nodded at Ning Xiao, and saw that Ning Xiao walked to Nong Li's side without hesitation.
"Madame, would you like to go back to Liling City with the old man?"
Nong Li finally made up his mind, and bowed down to Ning Xiao and said, "As long as you can save the fool's life, the concubine will listen to the orders of the elder of the pavilion!!"
"Okay, let's go down and get ready."
Ning Xiao said this, and Li Moyi also walked over and said to him: "I'm sorry, after all, I still involved your old man.........
Ning Xiao just shook his head and said to Li Moyi, "How do you know?" Maybe their real goal has always been the old man........."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Ning Xiao said that the real goal of not being hungry for books might be Ning Xiao, Li Mo was suddenly surprised that he had never known the old man in front of him.
To be precise, the Ning Xiao that Li Moyi knew was Ning Xiao in the ancient books, not the old man in front of him.........
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ning Xiao is in his early sixties, in the world of seventy years old, with an average birth age of only forty or fifty years old, Ning Xiao can indeed be regarded as a high life, but sixty years old is the golden age of worshipping the prime minister, Ning Xiao enjoys a good reputation in the field, and already has the qualifications to worship the prime minister, but at this time, he is old-aged, and the reason for this is unknown to Li Mo.
It wasn't until Ning Xiao said it now that Li Moyi came to his senses.
βββ, this old man who has retired for the elderly, may have been on the cusp of the storm, and he has also experienced all kinds of open and secret battles.
Li Moyi finally understood why Ning Xiao would participate in the investigation of the Shizi shipwreck case, and why he was silent about the excavated scientific research fraud case.
This murder case did not attract Ning Xiao's attention at first, and it was not until Fengdu City was sentenced to βββ Nong Bufeng that Ning Xiao agreed to bring Li Mo to Fengdu City to investigate the case.
As soon as Li Mo thought about it at this time, he felt that maybe Ning Xiao came to Fengdu City, and it didn't matter as much as he appeared.
βββ Ning Xiao has a lot of problems in his heart.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
But in the face of Ning Xiao, Li Moyi didn't know where to start, because Li Moyi really didn't know anything about the battle.
Ning Xiao sensed Li Moyi's embarrassment, he sat down slowly, looked at the still blue and black wound on Nong Bufeng's thigh, and then looked at the knife on the table, pondering for a while, as if he already knew the process of the matter.
He smiled at Li Mo and said, "You're still too anxious, this doesn't look like your style of acting..............."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Mo remembered that he almost committed a stupid thing that harmed Nong Bufeng, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Where did Li come from............ style?"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"From this point of view, playing tricks is not your forte, but Shu Bu is a veteran, you are short and long, what is your strength? It's to solve the case! Leave it to me, a bad old man, to play on your strengths and concentrate on finding evidence. β
"As long as we find evidence, we will have the confidence to bring down the book and not be hungry, as long as we bring down the book and break up the spy network in Fengdu City, we can call the one behind us ..............."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Moyi listened silently, although he was confused, he also heard some clues, it seemed that Ning Xiao already had a suspect for the mastermind behind the scenes.
And this mastermind behind the scenes is very likely to be related to the Shizi shipwreck case, and even because of the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes, the Shizi shipwreck case has been uncertain for a long time.........
At the moment, Li Moyi is still unable to determine who the real culprit in this case is, it is said that Nong Bufeng is the most suspected, but after hypnosis, Nong Bufeng is like being washed.
βββ confessed that he was just a person in charge of disposing of the corpse.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Since Nong Bufeng is the one who helps dispose of the corpses, that is to say, the white bones at the site of the old Chengshan Temple, the female corpse in the wall of the Liling City Tower, and even the corpses under the palace that was half built are all buried with the help of Nong Bufeng.
Then it can also be concluded.
βββNong Bufeng must know who the real culprit is!!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
But now that the surplus poison has not disappeared, I want him to tell who the real culprit is, but he can't do it for the time being.
Li Moyi is facing the biggest problem in front of him, that is, to protect the farmer's abundance.
βββ by inference, the murderer behind it is very likely that he is not hungry for books! At least until new clues and new evidence are discovered, Shu Bu Hunger is the most suspicious one!!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Zhu Nong's lack of abundance is his motive.
And as soon as Li Mo started paying attention to the book, he noticed a detail, but this detail needs to be verified again.
Nowadays, confronting the book is self-defeating, and it is impossible.
But it is not only verified by not being hungry for books, the old man in front of him, Ning Xiao, who once controlled the entire Northern Prison, is the best candidate.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Facing Ning Xiao, Li Mo asked: "Elder Ge, is he a eunuch if he is not hungry?" β
Ning Xiao's slightly closed eyes suddenly lit up, but he quickly calmed down again, and said with a light sigh: "Your strength is really to solve the case............ There are talented people in the world, and the towns have been around for hundreds of years, and it is not good to be old if you don't accept it..............."
Although Ning Xiao did not answer positively, Li Moyi already knew the answer, and his inference was not wrong.
βββ Shu is not hungry, and he is really a eunuch.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
If the book is not hungry and is a eunuch, then all the clues can be connected.
Because he is a eunuch, his mood is different from ordinary people, and he rejects women, so it makes sense to create these murder cases.
And because he is a eunuch and the head of the Heavenly Hell Gate, it is easy to understand why he dared to raise his head and stand up and shout at Ning Xiao.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Moyi knew that he had underestimated that he was not hungry for books, but until this time he knew that he had underestimated too much, and the identity of this book was not hungry should be more profound and critical than what was excavated now.........
Today, if it is a eunuch, then it is very likely to be linked to two words, that is, eunuch!!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
And eunuchs are usually inseparable from the prohibition in the imperial palace.
Although it is strange in the world, eunuchs can not only have grades, but also run around in various state cities, and it is not uncommon to be powerful in the brigade, but in the final analysis.
βββ eunuch is still reminiscent of a battle in the palace.
Throughout the thousands of years of dynasties, when it comes to the imperial palace, the first thing that comes to many people's minds may not necessarily be the emperor or the emperor's concubine, but the eunuch who is neither male nor female.
And the eunuchs in the world are very powerful, and things are even more difficult.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Thinking about it this way, Li Mo also has a prototype of the mastermind behind the scenes.
It's just like Ning Xiao reminded him, he is just a small local scribe, why bother living a life of selling cabbage, with the heart of the emperor, as long as he concentrates on solving the case.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ning Xiao saw Li Moyi's indifferent expression, and couldn't help asking, "How can Mi see that he is a eunuch?"
Li Moyi didn't answer positively, just touched his nose and made a sniffing look.
Ning Xiao was stunned.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
As an ancestor, Ning Xiao naturally knows that most eunuchs can't go to the toilet normally, and there are often cases of dripping cloth, so eunuchs not only give people the impression of being yin, but also have a smell.
In order to eliminate this smell, eunuchs who are able to do so often wear sachets containing spices to cover up the smell.
Li Moyi smelled the spice smell on Shu Bu Hunger's body, and only then did he deduce that Shu Bu Hunger was a eunuch.........
As for the beard that is not hungry for books, "Li Taiping" has his own personal experience.
For a spy to stick some fake mustaches, that's a no-brainer.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
If Shu Bu Hunger is really the murderer behind it, then it makes sense that it didn't leave too many traces.
As a secret agent, Shu Bu naturally does not need the assistance of others to dispose of the corpse, but if he wants to show it out, he needs to place the corpse in a crowded place, so he must use Nongbufeng.
Many corpses are buried in the ground or on the heads of the people, like city towers, like old mountain temples, and even palaces, all of which are places where people are like mountains, but no one knows that under their feet or above their heads, there is a masterpiece of his books that are not hungry.........
β¦β¦β¦β¦
This kind of false sense is more in line with his identity as a secret agent and the underground king, from this point alone, Shu is not hungry is already very much in line with Li Mo's profile of the murderer behind him.
Then, as Ning Xiao said, all that remains is to obtain evidence.........
If you look at it separately, the murder case of Shu Bu Hunger does not have much connection with the secret dispute involved in Ning Xiao, and it is only because of Shu Bu Hunger's personal distortion that the murder case was committed, and it has little to do with the Shizi shipwreck case.
But everything has two sides, which need to be analyzed independently, but it also needs to be unified to perceive the truth behind it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Shu Bu Hunger is the head of the secret spy network of the Heavenly Prison Guards, and his identity is contact.
His survival is related to the integrity of the entire network, and this is where he comes in!
Of course, these are all inferences for the time being, and they still need the support of substantive evidence, Li Moyi doesn't dare to be happy too early, and there are still many things to worry about in front of him.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ning Xiao also stopped chatting with Li Moyi, and after checking Nong Bufeng's injury, he couldn't identify what kind of poison it was for the time being, so he could only suppress it temporarily, and only after returning to Liling City could he analyze it in detail.
As for why he had to go back to Liling City, since Ning Xiao came alone, and even Huang Zheng was no longer accompanied, you can see how grim the situation is.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
As a general judgment, it can be said that the family is a big business.
Nong Li was worried that after leaving, he would be occupied by the concubines, and this time he was escorting Nong Bufeng, which was related to Nong Bufeng's life, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless.
In addition to the maids and servants who were summoned, almost a team of more than fifty people in the entire Tongju Mansion was assembled, plus family members and maids, as well as all kinds of soft belongings, the convoy became extremely spectacular.
It took a whole day to prepare for this.
Li Moyi had no choice but to stay in Fengdu City for one more night, and decided to set off back to Liling City the next day.
Ning Xiao did not return to the residence arranged by Huang Zheng, and simply lived in the farmhouse.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At night, Li Moyi was staying in Nongbufeng's room with Xu Jiu.
Ning Kexuan came over and replaced Xu Jiu.
As for where Xu Jiu was going, Li Mo didn't ask, and Ning Kexuan didn't take the initiative to mention it.
But Li Moyi had already vaguely felt that it was impossible for Ning Xiao to swagger back to Liling City without any backhand.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The night outside was terrifyingly dark, the clouds were gathering together, and the air was very hot, like the wrath of an approaching storm.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The weather is getting hotter and hotter.
The dark clouds in the night sky were like pieces of coals that had just been extinguished, covering the earth, steaming and sweating, and even the cicadas were huddled in the woods, too lazy to call, and occasionally the night finches chirped hoarsely.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Moyi and Ning Kexuan were guarding outside Nong Bufeng, and outside the courtyard were more than a dozen warriors who were guarded by the Nong Li clan.
The night was long, and Ning Xuan fell asleep several times, seeing this, Li Mo let him go back to rest not long after.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Under the crackling light, Li Mo spread out the somewhat yellowed paper, and was using a sharpened brush to dip ink in it, drawing on the paper.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
It took about half an hour, and Li Moyi's drawings were finally completed.
He was about to send it to Nong Li's and let the craftsmen rush out overnight, but a guest came to him who surprised him.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Although Li Moyi also has the habit of perceiving people's hearts, he is not Wang Longshang after all, he can't remember everyone's details, and he doesn't have the ability to remember the other person.
So Li Moyi knew that the visitor was a concubine who was not abundant.
But he couldn't remember which concubine she was, let alone her name.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
This little concubine is only seventeen or eighteen years old, still a little green, followed by two little maids, one on the left carrying a food box, and the other holding a beautiful wooden box in his arms.
"Master Li has worked hard......... The eldest lady asked the concubine to come over and bring some chilled bean soup to Lord Li..............."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Mo raised his head and took a closer look, although this little concubine was not beautiful, it gave people a natural temperament.
"Madame is too polite, Li is useless............" Seeing that the maid put the food box on the table beside her, Li Moyi also showed her hand to the concubine.
"Lord Li can torture the concubine's body, the concubine's body is a lowly person, how dare she call Mrs............" The little concubine seemed restrained, which was a little different from the group of concubines who were crying and crying during the day.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Seeing that Li Mo didn't speak, his face turned red, and he hurriedly asked the maid next to him to put down the box.
"I disturbed Lord Li's tranquility, and the concubine was really a little uncomfortable, but the sisters also knew the severity, so ......... So I asked my sister to send this box over......... I hope it can be of some help to adults............"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Help?" When Li Mo heard this, she was also a little curious, according to what she said, this box was sent by the group of concubines entrusted to her.
What's in βββ?
As soon as Li Mo waited for the maid to retreat, he opened the box.
As soon as he opened it, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly thanked the little concubine: "The ladies are really a charcoal in the snow, and Mrs. Lao has thanked the young ladies on behalf of Li!" β
The little concubine saw that Li Moyi attached so much importance to it, and felt that she and many sisters had finally done their part, and her joy was beyond words.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The concubine and the sisters don't have much knowledge, now the adults are in trouble, everything is supported by the grandmother alone, and the sisters don't know how to be good, these things can help the adults, the sisters can at least feel at ease, I hope the adults will catch the real murderer as soon as possible, and return the adult's innocence..............."
Li Moyi withdrew his gaze, closed the box, and nodded at the little concubine, and the little concubine was blessed, and was about to leave the room, but Li Moyi said out loud.
"Young lady and stay, Li has two things to hand over to the eldest lady, please take the young lady by the way, this thing is related to the life and safety of the farmer, be sure to let the eldest lady order the craftsmen below to make it as soon as possible..............."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Mo rolled up the drawings and handed them over, the little concubine stretched out her hand to take it, suddenly remembered something, and glanced to the side, but the maid couldn't react for a while, and the concubine had to take the drawings by herself, only lowering her head.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After sending away the concubine, as soon as Li Mo opened the food box, a cool air suddenly hit his face, the bowl of bean soup was actually placed in a wide and shallow wooden basin, the wooden basin contained crushed ice, and the bowl was full of fine and cold water droplets, which was really a good summer!!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After drinking the bean soup, Li Moyi simply put the crushed ice into the cold water of the copper basin, and washed his face with cold water refreshingly, and the whole person was immediately shocked.
The courtyard was full of guards inside and outside, Li Moyi was also a lot relieved, and the whole person was a lot refreshed, and after sitting outside for a while, Li Moyi fell asleep on the table unconsciously.........
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
I don't know how long I slept, but it was raining heavily, and it became cooler and cooler.
Li Mo felt that someone helped him up in a daze, and lay on the bamboo couch in front of the screen, the cool bamboo couch made Li Mo even more comfortable, and continued to sleep.
When Li Mo woke up, it was still raining outside, but his head was a little groggy and had a faint headache.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
As soon as Li Mo got up from the bamboo couch, he found that Nong Bufeng was still asleep, but the guards outside were no longer there.
"Someone!!"
Li Mo didn't dare to leave too far, so he walked to the gate of the courtyard with an oil-paper umbrella, and shouted a few times but no one answered.
Li Mo continued to walk out, but found that the entire mansion was a little empty, and there were still messy ruts and horseshoe prints in the compound.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Moyi was a little uneasy, feeling that something was wrong with the entire mansion.
βββ some servants and servants walked by, but when they saw Li Moyi, they deliberately avoided it.
Li Moyi was even more puzzled.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
This uneasiness gradually alerted Li Moyi, and he was about to return to Nong Bufeng's courtyard, but found that Ning Kexuan appeared in the corridor in front of him with a food box.
"Young Master Ning, what's going on?" Li Mo walked a few steps quickly, came to Ning Kexuan, and asked puzzledly.
Ning Kexuan had a worried look on his face, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Brother Li......... Father was worried that the convoy would be ambushed halfway, so he left first with the large team, and asked us to delay the departure with the farmer for half a day..............."
"What ?!!!" As soon as these words came out, Li Moyi couldn't help but be surprised.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
It is said that this is the realm of the Heavenly Hell Gate, and it is also a general sentence if the farmer is not rich.
Although Ning Xiao is already a priest, his reputation is still there, no matter how rampant these people are, they don't dare to assassinate in the territory of the Heavenly Hell Gate!!
But Li Mo thought about it for a while, if he is not hungry for books, he can blatantly use a knife in Nong Bufeng's room, and dare to call Ban Ning Xiao in front of him, what else can't he do?
Ning Xiao's worries were not unreasonable, but Ning Xiao led a large army first, just using himself as a cover to attract the firepower of these people, which was really a plan to secretly repair the plank road.
Ning Xiao is using his own safety to create an opportunity for Li Moyi, so that Li Moyi can return to Liling City smoothly with Nong Bufeng!!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ning Kexuan obviously knew about this plan, and when Li Mo was shocked, the worry in his eyes gradually turned into a moist mist.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ning Xiao is already old.
Although all the guards of the peasant mansion followed, the spies who were not hungry were absolutely clear about the defense ability of the peasant mansion, and it was conceivable how dangerous this trip was.
Li Mo was silent for a while.
Now it is a matter of Nong Bufeng's life, and Nong Bufeng is a very important witness in the case of "building a wall" female corpse.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After thinking about it, Li Moyi gently patted Ning Kexuan's shoulder and said, "......... Ning Ge Lao is also well-known all over the world, and there is a team of Li Governor of Liling City to escort them, plus the team is in the name of Nong Tongju, no matter how bold they are, they don't dare to really slaughter them, and the worst case is just a carriage that assassinates Nong Tongju, they know that Nong Bufeng is not in the team, so they shouldn't attack Ning Ge Lao..............."
"Really?" Ning Kexuan is actually a smart person, but it is related to the safety of the old father, and he was flustered for a while, and when he heard Li Mo's analysis, he was relieved.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦β¦ What we have to do now is to send Nong Bufeng to Liling City safely, only in this way can we be worthy of Ning Ge Lao's adventure, let's go. β
As soon as Li Mo said this, Ning Kexuan dispelled his worries, nodded resolutely, and followed Li Moyi back to Nong Bufeng's room.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Mo came back to his senses as soon as he opened the food box, and it turned out that he was eating lunch. Because it was gloomy outside and it was raining heavily, Li Moyi really confused the time.
That is to say, he slept until noon, thinking of this section, and then thinking of the faint pain in his head when he was lying on the couch, Li Moyi also understood.
I was afraid that Ning Xiao was worried that Li Mo would not agree to this plan, so he added ingredients to the bean soup last night, making Li Mo fall asleep.
With such good intentions, Li Moyi finally realized Ning Xiao's posture, and sighed more and more in his heart.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After lunch, the farmer's craftsman brought over the two things he had made last night.
As soon as Li Mo accepted the things, he and Ning Kexuan prepared their bags, commanded the five guards left by Ning Xiao, and carried Nong Bufeng and Yiyi products into the carriage.
Leave the farmhouse and head towards Liling City.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In order to conceal themselves, they dressed themselves as merchants, and although the carriage was inconspicuous, it was extremely sturdy enough to withstand the turbulence, and they went out through the back door of the farmhouse and disappeared into the rain curtain while it was raining.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the confrontation with the book and playing tricks, Li Mo was completely defeated.
This time, Ning Xiao personally went out on the horse, whether he could deceive the book and not be hungry, Li Moyi was not sure, let alone said that this trip was not dangerous, so he, like Ning Kexuan, was in full spirit.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The five guards selected by Ning Xiao are all good henchmen of Nong Bufeng, and details such as route and travel speed have been finalized with Ning Xiao.
Ning Kexuan also knew the whole plan, so he didn't need Li Moyi to worry too much.
Anyway, Li Mo is not familiar with the terrain and routes, so he doesn't have to worry about it, and now he only needs to take care of the farm in the carriage, and don't let him die halfway.
Looking out the car window at the misty rain curtain.
Li Mo didn't dare to be careless, and subconsciously searched for the handle of the knife on his waist, only to feel that there were man-eating beasts hidden everywhere in the rain curtain.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the end of May, the sky was like a clear blue jade pool, but now it was like buckets of ink being poured over it, and the dark clouds turned into lifelike dragon horses, rolling low overhead, as if they were about to swoop down in the next moment.
The electric snake thunder roared in the dark clouds, shattering the embankment of the Tianhe, and the river turned into a torrential rain, as if it would never stop.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Moyi's carriage didn't even dare to take the avenue, the muddy country road was slippery and potholes, and the bumpy carriage seemed to fall apart at any time.
The tough old horse snorted, the white foam on his mouth was constantly washed away by the rain, but he was whipped and kept moving forward, dragging the heavy car desperately, and the steaming white vapor on his body was like the life force that was constantly losing in his body.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The rainy day was already gloomy, and the sky was even darker as night approached.
Not to mention pedestrians on this road, even wild dogs dare not come out, and in the puddles on the road, sometimes even a fish with a white tail will flutter.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Mo was not rich with the farmer, and he didn't dare to show his identity, so it was naturally impossible for him to settle down at the post station, because he didn't take the avenue, and it was impossible to meet the inns along the way.
It's not a good idea to stay in a car on a rainy day.
However, Nong Bufeng can't stand the bumps and wind cold, and the residual poison has not disappeared at the moment, and if he is infected with the wind cold again, it will make it even worse.
The five martial artists accompanying him were all veterans and were familiar with the boundaries of Fengdu City, but due to the heavy rain, they did not dare to walk at night.
In the past, it was common to walk at night, but now that the torrents are rising, the mud and sand are falling, and the roads are full of potholes and mud, and if people and vehicles are caught in them, or if they encounter flash floods and landslides, it will be very bad.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Lao Shi, have you left the boundary of Fengdu City?" Li Moyi was not familiar with the geographical location, in addition to Nong Bufeng and him, there was also the driver and the escort leader βββ Shizhong.
This Shi Zhong is thirty-seven or eighteen, just in the prime of life, although his stature is not high, but his body is like iron and copper, giving people an extremely calm and strong feeling.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"My lord, we have already left Fengdu City, and it will be more difficult to go further south, and it will be even more troublesome at night..............."
"Out of Fengdu City............" Li Mo muttered to himself, if he was in Fengdu City, the secret agents who were not hungry might not dare to blatantly intercept the harm, but out of Fengdu City, it would mean entering the danger zone.
Although there is Ning Xiao's large army attracting firepower, he is not hungry and cunning, and as a secret agent, he should know Ning Xiao's style of acting, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not detect Ning Xiao's plan.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Moreover, Li Moyi did not use his own manpower, and finally used Shi Zhong and other five guards from the peasant mansion, Li Moyi did not dare to confirm whether these five guards were credible, so he was on guard all the way, he was already exhausted, and he had to find a place to rest all night.
"Is there a place to rest around here?" Li Moyi asked tentatively.
Shi Zhong thought about it for a while, and then replied.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Five miles further is Shizhong Village, our goal is too big, I am afraid it will be too eye-catching to enter the village to rest, but there is a buffalo mountain outside the village, and there is a temple on the mountain, Shi and his brothers often go there to rest, and have some friendship with the temple Zhuda, and they can settle there tonight."
"Temple?"
Li Moyi has also heard that the temples in the world are usually noisy, the flow of people is relatively large, and ordinary people will treat the temple as a hotel when they go out, and they are used to settling in the temple.
βββ Zhangshi gives people the feeling that they are all abiding by the rules and precepts, their hands and feet are clean, there are many rooms in the temple, the environment is also clean, and the food is simple, but as long as you give some incense money, it is much more cost-effective than the guest house.
But Li Moyi didn't want to accept Shi Zhong's suggestion, because it was still the same old saying.
βββ at present, he can't trust Shi Zhong and the other five people, if the old master in the temple secretly communicates with him, Li Moyi will become a self-defeating net.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Is there any other place to rest than that temple? Li Mou is most afraid of his master in his life, and he can't sleep in the temple............ "Li Moyi casually made an excuse, but Shi Zhong is a veteran, so he should be able to hear the mystery inside.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
However, Li Moyi's vigilance is also human nature, Shi Zhong naturally didn't want to say anything, so after thinking about it, he suggested: "On the edge of Shizhong Village, there is still a place to go at the foot of Buffalo Mountain, but it is a little inappropriate for us to go...............
"Nunnery?"
Located at the foot of Buffalo Mountain, it is inconvenient for them to stay overnight, and I am afraid that there is only a nunnery.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Shi Zhong nodded, shook his head again and said: "Yes, no, that place is called Wushi Nunnery, also called Widow's Nunnery, not a nunnery, in the early years, the men in Shizhong Village were often recruited as coolies by Fengdu City, and there were more widows in the village, and there were several accidents later." Under the unification of the village officials and elders of Shizhong Village, they drove these corrupt women to a dilapidated mountain temple at the foot of the mountain, which is the Beginningless Nunnery............"
"And where else to go? Although it is indeed a little inconvenient, but the Wushi Nunnery is full of female streamers, it is relatively safe, we are from the poor house, and there is the young master Ning to come forward, the safety of the peasant people is important, let's go to the Wushi Nunnery to rest for one night..............."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Moyi's consideration is also reasonable, but he still lacks understanding of the actual situation.
When Shi Zhong heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
"What your lord says is true, but it's just ......... It's just that the beginningless nunnery is full of widows who have been expelled. These widows are equivalent to being placed under house arrest inside, and there are strong men guarding the outside of the Wushi Nunnery, when the peasant people came back from Liling City, they also wanted to stay in the Wu Shi Nunnery, and those strong men beat gongs and drums for a while, gathered all the villagers, and surrounded the peasant people's team for one night......... For this matter, the Nongda not only made a joke, but was almost punished by the superiors, and one of the supervisors even wrote a letter to impeach the Nongda............"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Mo is a local scribe, and he is not afraid of making jokes, let alone impeaching him.
But if it is really as Shi Zhong said, all the villagers of Shizhong Village are invited, then Nongbufeng's whereabouts will be clear, and it will attract danger.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"In that case, let's go to the temple on Buffalo Mountain, so that the brothers can cheer up, and if there is a mistake in the farmer's life, we will all be finished." Li Mo admonished.
Shi Zhong instructed the coachman to speed up and passed the order to the carriage in front.
Whether it's a temple or a beginningless hermitage, it's all in Buffalo Mountain.
It was necessary to bypass Shizhong Village, and in order to avoid attracting attention, Li Moyi also asked the coachman to go farther away.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After walking about four or five miles, the lights began to appear in the rain curtain in front of me, and although it was faint, the outline of the village could still be seen.
The village road in front of the village is a yellow mud road, but the heavy rain pours, and the hillsides on both sides of the village road continue to pour rainwater, and the village road is about to become a river, and the water surface is soaked in half of the wheel.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The front and back of Ishinaka Village are paddy fields.
Under the heavy rain, all the paddy fields turned white, and the narrow country road was like a rope in the sea, and it seemed that it would sink into the water if you were not careful.
With such bad weather and environment, Li Moyi couldn't help but relax his vigilance, he glanced at Shi Zhong, who stood on the wheel, climbed the canopy with his hand, looked into the distance, and finally found the mountain road next to the village, and instructed the coachman to turn.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
This mountain path is the only way up the mountain.
The pines and cypresses on both sides are dense, the strange rocks are craggy, the first half is the dirt road that the villagers stepped on, and when they reach the mountainside, it is the stone step road that the villagers help the Taoist people build.
When they arrived at the stone steps road, the carriage couldn't get up, and they had to get off and walk, so Li Moyi and the others were also excited.
However, when the carriage was about to stop, Shi Zhong raised his left hand, clenched his fist, and signaled the carriage to stop!!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Mo pressed the handle of the knife tightly, and although his ears were full of the sound of heavy rain, he could still hear the sound of rustling coming from both sides of the mountain road.
Then there was a rumbling sound, and the earth seemed to tremble.........
"Get out of the car! It's a falling rock! Falling rocks!! β
Shi Zhong roared in horror. However, as soon as his words fell, a stone the size of a watermelon fell from the sky, hit him in the head, and fell on the spot.........
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Bangβββ bang! Bang bang bang!! β
Falling rocks rolled down one after another.
One of the large grinding discs smashed the wheel, swept the coachman away, and crushed it on the mountain road, crushing the coachman into ashes.........
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Before the guards of the carriage in front of him could get out of the carriage, a boulder rolled down and smashed the carriage to pieces, and no one in the carriage came out except for the driver.........
Li Moyi kept tense his nerves, and after hearing Shi Zhong's warning, he dragged Nong Bufeng to his back.
As soon as I jumped out of the car, a stone was pressed down from the roof!!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Young Master Ning!!"
Li Mo screamed, and his heart was also angry.
Although this Nong Bufeng is a human witness and the stakes are very important, but without this clue, you can find it again, and Nong Bufeng is not a good person, why should he save Nong Bufeng, but he has to abandon Ning Xuan.........
Li Mo immediately put Nong Bufeng on the ground, ran to the side of the carriage, pulled the broken carriage and gravel, and shouted: "Young Master Ningβββ Young Master Ning!" Did you hear that! Did you hear that!! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Li Moyi was in a hurry, Ning Kexuan's pale face appeared behind a stone next to him.
"Brother Li......... I'm fine..............."
When Li Mo heard this, he suddenly turned his head, and he was also happy in his heart, and hurriedly came over to help.
But at this time, I found out that Ning Kexuan's feet were pressed under the carriage board, and on the wooden board was the big stone of the culprit!!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Come over here and give a hand! Hurry up!! β
The rain kept hitting his face, Li Moyi's eyes couldn't open, and the groom in the car in front of him was already scared.
There are a total of five guards in the farmhouse.
After this rockfall disaster, there was only one lone seedling left, and the horseman was also a little at a loss, until Li Mo shouted three times, he trembled his hands and feet and began to move this way.
However, he had only just taken three or two steps when he suddenly stopped again!!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and come over to help!!" Li Mo was so anxious that he forgot for a while the endless true power in his body that he had not used for a long time.
Seeing that the guard was stunned again, his heart was even more angry.
But Li Moyi's gaze crossed the guard, and when he looked above the mountain road, his face turned pale.........
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Behind the guards, some shadows gradually appeared on both sides of the mountain road, gradually showing their figures in the rain curtain, and they were more than a dozen swordsmen wearing robes and straw hats!!
"Those falling rocks......... I see!! Li Mo's hair became cold, these falling rocks were not because of the flash flood at all, but were pushed down from the slopes on both sides by these swordsmen.........
If these swordsmen were thieves who cut the path and robbed money, they couldn't be so vicious.
βββ can only show that they are secret agents sent by Shu Bu to intercept Nong Bufeng.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Poof!!"
Before the groom could scream, the head was already rolling away like a melon on the ground.........
Li Mo swept behind him.
βββ it was a farmer who fell to the ground.
βββ and beside him is Ning Kexuan.
If you want to pull Ning Kexuan out, it takes a lot of time and effort, but if you run away with Nong Bufeng, the success rate is much higher.
How should Li Moyi choose?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
It was dark and raining heavily.
The swordsmen in the rain curtain are like a group of martial warriors born in the dark.........
The appearance of these swordsmen directly took the lives of all the samurai in the courtyard.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Only Li Moyi remained, Nong Bufeng, who was unconscious on the ground, and Ning Kexuan, who was crushed under the broken carriage.........
At the moment when the falling stone fell on the carriage, Li Mo abandoned Ning Kexuan once and chose to carry Nong Bufeng off the car, and this time, he decisively went to Ning Kexuan's side.........
In order to bring Nong Bufeng back to Liling City safely, Ning Xiao did not hesitate to personally risk to attract firepower, which was also the main reason why Li Moyi chose Nong Bufeng for the first time.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Moyi didn't hesitate, and without the help of the surviving groom, Li Moyi could only change his strategy.
Because he was forced into a desperate situation, he slowly calmed down, and there were no other distractions in his mind except the instinct to survive.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Although the sky was dark, perhaps because of the critical situation, Li Mo realized that everything in front of him became clearer.
βββ the stone was too big to wrap around his hands at all.
On the mountain road, all the items were peeled off one by one, and Li Moyi's eyes quickly searched the ground.
His gaze was finally fixed on the severed wheel!!
One end of the wheel was set on the old horse's body, and at the moment when the old horse was smashed to death, the rope had been torn off, Li Mo pulled out the waist knife, bit the back of the knife, and then quickly pulled out half of the wheel and pierced it under the big stone!!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Convergence !!"
As soon as Li Mo squatted his body very low, one end of the wheel was on his shoulder, he took a deep breath, calmed for a long time, his feet were deep and steady, and he suddenly exerted force.
Life is to warp this human-high boulder.........
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Ah!!h The reaction force of the boulder seemed to hurt Ning Xuan's foot, and he screamed loudly.
But seeing that the wheel creaked and there was a possibility of breaking again at any time, Ning Kexuan endured the severe pain and pulled his foot out alive!
Fortunately, one of Xuan's feet is wooden, which saves a little pain.........
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Hmm............" Ning Kexuan breathed a sigh of relief in extreme depression, and lay down on the ground and let out a big breath.
At the moment when Ning Kexuan pulled out his foot, the wheel on Li Mo's shoulder snapped apart, and because he was too hard, his teeth left a mark on the back of the knife.
Li Moyi was about to help Ning Kexuan up, but a swordsman in front of him had already rushed over!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Whoosh!!"
A cold man's head fell.
As soon as Li Mo grabbed the clothes of the person who came, he dragged him to his side, and the person who came screamed in pain.
Li Mo looked at his hands, and only then did he suddenly realize that the true power that was circulating endlessly in his body.
βββ immediately clenched his hands into fists, and waited for the reversal.
The person who came was armed with a big knife, but Li Mo didn't know how to use any weapons, and he couldn't use simple moves, so he had to rely on his own body speed and reaction ability to deal with it.
