Chapter 68: Assassination
At night, Su Zhe leaned on the bed, his brows were tightly locked, although the heat of his body had receded, but his body was weak, whether he was lying down or leaning on, he felt uncomfortable, he breathed heavily, trying to make himself comfortable.
Suddenly, I heard a 'click' in the window.
In the darkness, the lonely bird had already risen.
He, like Mo Xiao, is Su Zhe's personal guard, naturally he is not separated from each other, and since he has been by Su Zhe's side, he sleeps in the side room, or in the soft and shallow sleep in the same room.
He was supposed to go to the side room tonight, but Su Zhe kept breathing heavily, and he was afraid that Su Zhe's heat would burn up again at night, so he chose the soft collapse in the house.
The visitor obviously didn't realize that there was anyone in the room, and the lonely crane stood between the head of the bed and the wall with his eyes open, holding his breath and concentrating. Su Zhe maintained his previous posture and did not move, the person who came lifted the quilt, raised the waist knife in his hand, and slammed the knife towards Su Zhe.
"Who!"
The comer was startled, his body quickly retreated, and he raised his waist knife to entangle with the lonely bird again.
The sound of the fight in the house is not small, and it is impossible not to find out that there are hidden guards guarding the courtyard in the south of the cloud fold, but the first one to rush in with the lamp is actually Su Ningxue.
"Su Zhe!"
When the lonely crane saw the person at the door, he was slightly surprised. Su Ningxue held the lamp, dodged their attacks, and rushed to Su Zhe's bed, making sure that Su Zhe on the bed was okay, and her heart fell back into her heart.
"Why are you here?" Su Zhe asked, Su Ningxue said: "Actually, I have been preparing for the past few days, I know that they will move their minds to you when they are forced to be anxious, I originally thought that I would be prepared, but I didn't expect to be blinded by me." ”
"Hmm." Su Zhe nodded, he had also expected that these people would be sent to the door, but he didn't expect Su Ningxue to expect it too. "Help me out, alone, the loneliness can be solved." Su Zhe said lightly.
Su Ningxue turned her head and looked, it was true that the person was suppressed by the lonely bird, and he wanted to escape but couldn't.
"Okay, be careful." She put down the lamp and reached out to help Su Zhe, she found that Su Zhe was very thin, and the clothes he usually wore were wide and could not be seen, and at this time, she felt that he could not feel a few taels of flesh on his slender wrist when holding it with her hand. "You be careful, why don't you wait until the lonely bird is done before we go out?"
Helping Su Zhe to the wheelchair, the two were still fighting, Su Ningxue was afraid that the sword would hurt Su Zhe without an eye, but Su Zhe shook his head, seemed to believe in the lonely crane, calmly slid the wheelchair, and pushed out of the room from the fight scene.
"I'm going to distract the lonely eagle in there."
When he got outside, he explained to Su Ningxue. Su Ningxue thought about it carefully, it made sense. As long as Su Zhe is in the house, the other party can catch him at any time and threaten Lonely. But he stayed away, firstly, the lonely eagle could let go of his hand to fight, and secondly, there was no hope for the comeder.
Su Ningxue pushed Su Zhe to the courtyard of Yunzhuan South, and at the same time asked people to inform Su Zhe of the changes in Yunzhuan South's house.
Yun Huannan didn't seem to be surprised by this incident, so he only let Mo Xiao go over to take a look, Mo Xiao stepped out of the yard with his front foot, and came back with the lonely bird with his back foot. The lonely crane saluted Yun Huannan slightly, and then said to Su Zhe: "Young master, the person has caught it." ”
"Well, cough cough cough" Su Zhe said lightly, not surprised by this result at all.
thanked Yun Huan Nan, sorry for disturbing Yun Huan Nan late at night, and then went back with the lonely bird.
The things in the house were smashed into a mess, the person who came was tied to the only remaining chair, his clothes were bloodstained, his hair was messy, his eyes were scarlet, and when he saw Su Zhe and the others coming in, he immediately salivaed, "Phew! Damn it! If I can't kill you today, I'm unlucky, if you want to kill it, you can come and ask for news from me, then you don't have to waste your energy in vain. ”
"Who says we need to ask you for news?" Su Zhe said lightly, because of his illness, his voice sounded very weak, but it was precisely because of his weakness that he seemed to be a little unconcerned.
"What about the little boy? Was the little boy in Xiaohe Village who was holding ten taels of silver killed by you? ”
As soon as Su Ningxue stepped into the door, she felt anger rushing to her head, she opened her mouth angrily, and the man glanced at her, "I don't know, I won't tell you if I know!" ”
"You!" Su Ningxue was so angry that she kicked up.
The death of the little boy was inferred by Su Zhe, because there was no silver found in the house, and there was no little boy, Su Ningxue has always acquiesced in the child's death in the past few days, and when she saw the mountain bandits at this moment, she really couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope.
"You can't even do it with a child, you're not human!"
As she spoke, she kicked a few more times. The man was impatient by her, his body struggled a few times, and said disdainfully: "A little kid who rarely does it!" All I want is money! ”
So, the child is not dead yet?
Su Ningxue turned around and glanced at Su Zhe, Su Zhe immediately signaled to Gu Yu to arrange someone to find it, they had already looked for it in the area of Xiaohe Village, and there was no trace, it could only be a place outside Xiaohe Village.
Su Ningxue understood the difficulties of the lonely crane, she went to say hello to Mo Xiao, and Mo Xiao arranged for someone to cooperate with the lonely crane to go to other nearby villages and Xiaohe Village to look for the mountain, after all, there are mountain bandits living on the mountain, and the lonely crane takes people up the mountain without authorization, and the lack of force will only sacrifice his life in vain.
With Mo Xiao's help, Su Ningxue was much more relieved.
And that mountain bandit was transferred to the side by Su Zhe to watch, and no one really asked him again.
How calm Su Zhe was, how anxious he was in his heart.
Tonight's operation, it was he who made the decision on his own, and he didn't say anything if he didn't succeed, and he was arrested. If Su Zhe and the others followed the clues he left behind, they found a hiding place on the mountain...... Thinking that he would kill everyone, he was even more anxious.
"Someone! Someone! I want to see you Su-sama! I want to see the sick seedling! ”
"What a noise! Lord Su rested, and no one could go in and disturb the adults without the permission of the lonely brother. ”
"What about the lonely bird? You call him, he has the ability to arrest me, he doesn't have the courage to come to see me! ”
The person guarding the door sneered, "See you, see you and wait until dawn to talk about it, Brother Lonely Bird led people up the mountain." ”
Mountain?
The mountain bandits sighed in their hearts, they have already found out? Got a clue so quickly?
It's him who is confused! He shouldn't have gone down the mountain without permission on such a rainy day, he was arrogant and thought that he would succeed, and the traces of the descent were not covered up at all, too bad! Oops!
"You let him come back! Hurry up and call him back! If he dares to touch a single hair of the people on the mountain, I will kill the sick seedling to pay for his life! Let me out! Let me out! ”
The mountain bandits struggled more and more fiercely, how miserable it was on the mountain at this time, he could almost imagine, he couldn't believe that the home he relied on to survive was gone, the more fierce he was, the more annoying the people who guarded him, pushed open the door, whipped him twice, and saw that he was in pain and didn't shout, so he said:
"Nonsense! Isn't the lonely brother just going up the mountain, what are you excited about, and when he flattens the mountain, he will naturally come back to see you, and then you want to quarrel again. ”
After saying that, the gatekeeper dragged the whip out.
"It's flat, it's flat, ah!" The mountain bandit couldn't stand the stimulation, roared, and said hoarsely again: "Lonely! Su Zhe! Lao Tzu is not with you! The sins you sat down in the back mountain today, Lao Tzu turned into a powerful ghost and will seek revenge on you! ”
When the words fell, he tried to bite his tongue, but the doorkeeper rushed back and stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth just in time.
Another person standing at the door hurriedly went to Su Zhe's room, "Master Su, there is news, he said that he is in the back mountain." ”
"Hmm." Su Zhe nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, and his eyes still stayed on the book, "Go tell the lonely crane, focus on the back of the mountain." In addition, find a local to understand the situation in the back mountain, and then go to his words. ”
"Yes."
What guards, it's all fake. These two people followed Su Zhe and came to investigate the criminal department guards, according to Su Zhe's plan, they stayed outside the mountain bandits' gate, in order to stimulate the mountain bandits and take advantage of his lack of useful information.
According to the villagers' recollections, more than ten years ago, when Xiaohe Village was not haunted, he went up the mountain once, and the terrain on the mountain was a bit complicated, he got lost, accidentally slipped down the mountain, and once hid in a cave in the back mountain for a few days.
"How many days?" The guard wondered, "How did you survive without food or drink for a few days?" ”
"Oh, don't you know this big brother, the river under the mountain of Xiaohe Village is around the mountain, there are many trees and birds in front of the mountain, and there are not many people who usually go up the mountain because there are too many trees and it is not easy to find the way. The back mountain is different, there are relatively few trees in the back mountain, but there are many caves, there is not a river along the cave, just go down the river to fish and eat. ”
When the guards heard this, they thanked him and hurriedly went back to Fuzhe. Su Zhe instructed again, "Go and probe his tone." ”
"Yes."
The guard returned to the next side room, and the bandit sat on the chair with his head bowed, finally no more noisy, but the whole person looked like a walking corpse, and lost his life.
"Okay, don't be sad, I just asked for you, Brother Lonely went to the cave at the foot of the back mountain to find someone, and he won't come back for a while, and when he comes back, I will tell him to see you as soon as possible." The guard said this as if he was thinking about the bandits.
The bandit's body moved slightly, and finally he calmed down again.
Standing beside him, the guard who had just replaced him saw a flash of joy in his eyes, and the two of them exited the room and concluded: "It's not at the foot of the mountain, go and inform Lord Su, you have to look for it on the mountainside." ”
"Hmm."
If you think about it, it makes sense, although there are not many people going to the back mountain, it is always too easy to be found at the foot of the mountain. These mountain bandits have been hiding for so many years, and the hiding place must have been carefully and carefully chosen.
In the early morning, the long-lost sun finally shone into Shili Town, the small waterhole on the ground reflected the warm light, people stepped on a foot, splashed mud everywhere seemed to have a trace of temperature, pedestrians on the road finally stopped their faces under the umbrella, they were smiling, talking about all kinds of parents.
All this is beautiful, as if they are welcoming today, welcoming an end, welcoming a new beginning.
