Chapter 439: Blockade (2) [Second Update]
The two of them were really tired and confused.
The black-robed man looked like he wouldn't stop slaughtering them, how could he let them escape so easily! Eighty percent of them were consuming their stamina before!
What a thief! Gongsun Lan couldn't help but snort and scolded: "Traitor! ”
Gongsun Xian is also pondering, he and Gongsun Lan are both well-known for their love of calculation, but I didn't expect that this time the two of them together didn't count that person! There should be a limit to the battle of wits and courage...... It's been a few back and forth, and there's no end?!
When the two of them felt tired, the person on the other side of the river was also stunned. Because Gongsun Lan and the others were wearing exactly the same outfits as them, and they were still holding repeating crossbows in their hands.
Gongsun Xian and Gongsun Lan's hearts trembled, and they immediately put on the appearance of a failed mission and internal injuries, and Gongsun Xian also held his chest and forced out a mouthful of blood and fell into the reeds. Gongsun Lan held him and pretended to check it, then beckoned to the people over there, signaling for someone to come over and help.
There were more than thirty people over there, and it seemed that they had just arrived, and they hadn't had time to take cover, and they were relieved to see that they were their own people, and they were faintly disappointed, and the person who came over should be the small leader of the team, glanced at them, and saw that they behaved naturally, and Gongsun Lan had no intention of guarding against him at all, and turned his back to him to bandage his companions, so he went to suspicion, "Are you injured?" ”
Gongsun Xian, who was lying there pretending to be confused, couldn't help but secretly say that this girl of his, she is really an old dramatist.
Gongsun Lan whispered in a thick voice: "There is no medicine for the injury, I lost it on the way." ”
The man touched into his arms, took out a medicine bottle and handed it to them, then crouched down to hide his body by the reeds, "You fought those people head-on?" Where did those people go? ”
Gongsun Lan sighed, looked back at him and said, "I'm afraid our mission this time is to plant." Saying this, he also thoughtfully scooped some water for Gongsun Xian to drink, and drank a few sips by the way.
The man chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and his brow tightened at the thought of the consequences of the failed mission. "How?"
Gongsun Lan described the situation of chasing me in the woods just now. It's just that he switched his roles with the other party, and said: "Originally, they had already arrived near here, but I don't know if they noticed something or thought of something, so they turned around and went down the mountain!" ”
"Yamashita? Which direction? The man couldn't help but stand up and asked urgently.
"The direction of Shubei! A few of our men caught up, and the two of us were wounded and came back to report to you. ”
The man hesitated, "The master told us to just guard along the river, if we leave without permission, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate." ”
Gongsun Lan clutched his chest and bared his teeth and said, "I know that those two people won't come this way!" It's not appropriate to stay at this point! When the time comes, if you can't catch someone, the master will have to pick our skin! ”
The man was silent for a moment, still not daring to make a good claim. Gongsun Lan hated that iron could not become steel, and scolded in his heart: Bad seeds. said: "Leave a few people to guard, and the rest of the people can't chase after it!" ”
The man thought about it and felt that this was appropriate, so he helped Gongsun Xian to the other side of the river with Gongsun Lan. At this time, the others had already found a place to hide, so he gathered the people again, and then took two-thirds of the people to cross the river with them and went in the direction from which Gongsun Lan and the others came.
Seeing their figures disappear into the reeds, Gongsun Lan dragged Gongsun Xian behind everyone, faintly distinguishing for a moment, and whispered: "There are about ten people left." ”
Gongsun Xian opened his eyes, and said a word silently to Gongsun Lan, "Fire ......"
Gongsun Lan's heart lit up, and he felt out of his arms, which he touched on the dead man when he was changing his clothes. She gave Gongsun Xian a look and told him to get ready to slip away, and she wrapped a stone with a strip of cloth on the fire fold, so as not to throw it away for a while, and set the reed next to her on fire.
In this season, the reeds are on fire and grow in the wind.
Before the burning fire hit the ground, the reeds near the river bank burst into flames! And then it spread out in both directions! The flames are blazing! Like a fiery red beast, it surrounds the people hiding inside with its teeth and claws!
A dozen or so people hiding in the reeds immediately jumped up, and one by one they pounced into the river like lit monkeys!
A large area of reeds formed a line of fire, separating the two grandsons from those killers! Taking advantage of the fact that the children were blocked by the burning reeds, the two "grandsons with black bellies" immediately got up and slipped away!
After all, it won't be long after all, and they must hurry up and distance themselves!
Fang was deceived by Gongsun Lan The man had not gone too far, and he vaguely heard the movement and suddenly stopped, looked back at the firelight, and was shocked: "I was deceived!" Go back! ”
However, when he returned to the riverbank, he saw that the fire in his eyes was connected together, and the whole river was bright and transparent! His face turned pale: "Detour!" Chase! ”
……
At this time, on a hillside behind Shenyin Villa, a young girl sighed faintly, she stood on the uninhabited yellow path, looked at the villa below, and muttered: "Dad, mother, sister, how are you now?" If it's you, what should I do, should I help the eldest sister? ”
The mountain breeze blew on her face, drying her tears, and she hung her head, sat on the bluestone with her knees crossed, and buried her face in the crook of her arm. The maidservant girl beside her was distressed: "Miss, let's go back early, the wind here is urgent, and it will break your body." ”
Cui Wu said sullenly: "Xiao Shao, if it were you, what would you do?" ”
Xiao Shao was embarrassed: "The slave maid thinks that although the eldest lady's approach is justified, but her heart is so ruthless, will she be ...... when the time comes?"
"Will you be cruel to us?" Cui Wu looked up at her and said, "I thought so too, but if I don't help the eldest sister." What to do? My father was locked up by the fourth uncle, is it possible that I can still beg the fourth uncle? ”
Xiao Shao hurriedly shook her head: "This is not good, how did the fourth grandmother also see the eldest lady, what if they know your thoughts, what should they do to you?" Miss, you don't have as much thought as the eldest lady! ”
"I ......"
Cui Wu was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps below, she was startled, and quickly pulled Xiao Shao to squat in the bushes a few steps away from them.
Fortunately, the visitors did not stop here, but passed by them and went in the direction of the top.
Cui Wu looked at it, but it was her fourth uncle, Cui Rongzhi.
Cui Rongzhi hurriedly stood under the old tree not far away, looked around, and then climbed up the tree with all hands and feet, and groped on the branch for a while, but he didn't seem to find what he was looking for, and he came down from the tree with a very bad face, and almost broke his foot. Cui Wu heard him curse, and then returned to the villa the same way.
"What's going on?" Cui Wu looked at the direction he left suspiciously, thought for a while and said, "Let's go, let's go back and have a look." ”
Back at the villa, Cui Wu entered the door, and just saw Cui Rongzhi's servant entering the study with tea, so he paused. Whisper to the wall and listen to the voices inside.
Cui Rongzhi seemed to be so anxious and flustered that he forgot to lower his voice, and asked repeatedly: "What do you mean that there is no one, no one is left?" No one inside and out? ”
"Also, it's not like there's no one...... The Seventh Master's family is still inside, but those people are gone......"
"What's the use of asking for the seventh!" Cui Rongzhi panicked in his heart, those people were hard to raise in the villa! How could it be gone? Without those people, and the mother's hidden household assets could not be found, what was left of this villa? Isn't it just an empty shell? "Is there anything unusual in Nanshi Town?"
"No, master, Nanshi Town is no different from weekdays...... the little guy thought about it, and then said: "If you want to say anything, it seems that there are fewer people......"
"Fewer people?" Cui Rongzhi's eyes widened, and he didn't blink for a long time, yesterday the man sent a message, saying that something big would happen in the evening, and told him to stay in the villa honestly, but why was there no one...... "Could it be that the person is gone?" And took everyone away? Why? What the hell is going on! ”
Seeing his dejected appearance, the little guy didn't dare to say much. After waiting for a long time, Cui Rongzhi suddenly said: "You go, call the eldest lady to me!" Never mind! I'll go find her myself! ”
Cui Wu outside heard the words and hurriedly ran into the second gate, and saw Cui Rongzhi striding into the moon gate, all the way to the pillow Xia Pavilion.
Cui Ai happened to be out of the courtyard gate, looked up and saw Cui Rongzhi, so he saluted and said, "Fourth uncle." ”
Cui Rongzhi didn't seem to care about anything, and when he looked around and no one was around, he asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
Cui Ai was stunned, "What's going on?" ”
Cui Rongzhi was obviously dissatisfied when he heard this answer, "Xiao Ai, you tell me the truth, where did those people in the town go, and where did that person get them?" ”
Cui Ai was confused, and after thinking about it, his face changed: "What does the fourth uncle mean, is the mountain empty?" ”
The word "empty" deeply stimulated Cui Rongzhi, he had suffered for half his life, and the things he had been plotting for half his life disappeared in the blink of an eye, how could he not be in a hurry: "Xiao Ai, since that person said that he would help you make the decisions about your family affairs, he must have some private contact with you!" He's gone, didn't he tell you? ”
Cui Ai's mind has already analyzed what happened from Cui Rongzhi's words!
The man is gone? Leave them here like garbage? After the use of everything? So what about her! She gritted her teeth and looked at Cui Rongzhi, she must not let him know that her backer was gone! They're all gone anyway! No one will confront her, and she can only bluff the fourth uncle before she makes plans!
"It turns out that the fourth uncle is talking about this matter, didn't he tell you that something happened and you have to deal with it quickly?"
Cui Rongzhi's eyes lit up, "He really told you where he went?" ”
"Well, but I didn't say when I would be back, it seems that things are a little difficult......"
She said this purely to delay herself a little longer, but Cui Rongzhi connected her words with the events of last night. It's like taking a reassuring pill: "That's really the case...... Do you know who they were going to kill last night? ”
