Chapter 436: Timing (1)
Cui Ai didn't feel that it was her own fault for her grandmother's death. Though...... She watched Cui Rongzhi's hand move with her own eyes......
The reason why she didn't stop it was because her grandmother was already not far from the end, she was already old, and even if she delayed to the end, it would only be ten days and a half months. What's more, my grandmother was suspicious of the affairs of the villa, and if she inquired, she would not be able to hide the fact that she secretly took refuge in that person...... She didn't want to disappoint her grandmother.
She has always been a good granddaughter of her grandmother......
And all of this is because of Cui Rongzhi's ambition and Yan Hong's misdeeds to lure the wolf into the house! It's all their fault that she's plotting with the tiger now! If there is no Yan Hong, Cui Rongzhi is just a small character, as long as she moves her mind a little, Cui Rongzhi will not be able to eat and walk around. That person will not use Yan Hong's name to seize the operation of the villa for many years......
"Why don't you speak? I said it's all true, right? Cui Wu asked in a trembling voice.
Cui Ai looked at her and said slowly: "It turns out that you have seen it." ”
"You admit it?" Cui Wu couldn't help but tense up, she wanted to force the other party to ask the truth, but after the other party really admitted it, she lost her courage in an instant. "Why are you doing that...... Grandmother is so good to you. ”
"Fifth sister, my grandmother's death is not what I want, it's not that I don't want to stop it, it's that I can't stop it at all."
Although she was a little jealous of the Cui Wu sisters, she didn't want to treat them well, because she would marry someone in the future, and she would have to have a family and backers. Uncle Seven is soft and kind, and he is not afraid of not being able to hold it.
It was Cui Rongzhi who took it upon himself to lock up Uncle Seven, she originally wanted to rescue Uncle Seven after solving Cui Rongzhi, so that they would be grateful and rest assured that the villa would be handed over to her, but who knew that another group of people came and disrupted her plan. She softened her voice and said, "Fifth sister, can't you see my difficulties after so many years? You were also present yesterday, and the fourth uncle's family was going to put me to death......"
Cui Wu had tears in her eyes, looked at Cui Ai in front of her, and said in a trembling voice: "That's why you should save your grandmother, if your grandmother is there, she will protect you, right?" ”
"Silly girl...... If I had exposed what the fourth uncle had done at that time, do you think he would have stopped? This is mothericide! Such a rebellious act, he will hide it at any cost, and he will be strangled on the spot along with me! ”
Cui Wu was stunned for a while, she didn't expect this, but if it was her...... She wouldn't have watched her dear grandmother killed...... "but ......"
"Fifth sister!" Cui Ai interrupted Cui Wu's thoughts and said, "Have you forgotten who locked up the seventh uncle and them?" Together with yourself, you are now just a hostage to restrain Uncle Seven! ”
Cui Wu looked at her blankly, Cui Ai raised his hand to support her shoulder, and said softly; "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge my grandmother, let the fourth uncle pay the due price, and let the villa return to its previous peace, but we must not show the slightest hint of this at this time, otherwise let the fourth uncle find out, you and I will not survive!"
Cui Wu was simple-minded, and she was stunned by her, and her body was stiff in place. "Big sister...... What you say is true? ”
"You can relate to my hardship, don't you?" Cui Ai was kind and seductive, "Fifth sister, you have to help me ......"
……
At this time, in Nanshi Town, thirty miles away, Gongsun Lan listened to the sound of rustling outside the medicine hall, and was extremely calm, she distributed the prepared bags of herbs to everyone, and said: "There will be no fewer people outside, fortunately, we have hidden in the medicine hall, and there is still a chance to try." ”
Among the guards who knew pharmacology, they looked at the herbs that Gongsun Lan had arranged, and said in surprise: "Is Miss going to rely on these herbs to create chaos?" ”
"Well, now all I can rely on is that they must want to capture me alive." Gongsun Lan looked at them and carefully advised: "The wood chrysanthemum, mandala and other herbs in this can cause people to be drowsy, and when the sage is lit, it will produce a lot of smoke. After a while, listen to my orders, smoke screens together, and everyone try to spread out and run around. ”
"Miss! You mean, to use yourself as bait? After the silver needle in Yuechen's body was removed, the injury on his back was nothing to him. After taking several pills, large and small, I was able to move freely.
Gongsun Lan said: "It's not a bait, it's a team of two." We are all wearing the same night clothes, and later under the smoke screen, the enemy can't see our figure clearly, so we shouldn't be a killer, after everyone leaves the medicine hall, don't look ahead and save your life, so that you have a chance to meet with everyone again! ”
Everyone looked solemn and nodded cautiously in agreement. Gongsun Lan looked at Yuechen, who wanted to stop talking, and said, "Yuechen, you will follow me in a while." ”
Yuechen's face was solemn, and she answered in a low voice. "As long as the other party's men and horses are scattered, they may not be our opponents, this is not far from the mountain, let's turn from light to darkness, and find an opportunity to fight back."
Gongsun Lan glanced at him appreciatively, turned to Aslin and said, "Presumably you have a way to protect yourself, so you will leave." ”
Aslin glanced at them and nodded silently.
Gongsun Lan listened to the movement outside, tied up the wet masked black cloth, and said, "Ready." ”
The crowd listened to her instructions and set fire to the tightly bundled herbs in their hands, so that it would not be easy to burn them all at once, and it would be easier for the sage to produce smoke. For a moment, the room remembered the crackling and burning sound of herbs, and Gongsun Lan released the fire flying squirrel through the gap in the window, and the rope tied to it also dragged a bundle of ignited herbs.
The flying squirrel ran fast, dragging a ball of fire that immediately attracted the attention of the people who were ambushing around it, but when they realized that it was not a person at all, more fires were thrown out in all directions of the medicine hall with strange-smelling smoke.
Just when they were extremely stunned, Gongsun Lan and the others fled from all sides of the medicine hall.
Only then did those people react, and the leader immediately shouted when he thought of the consequences of the failure of the mission: "Chase!" ”
After a period of chaos, Gongsun Lan, who was clinging to the corner of the wall in the shadows not far from the medicine hall, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The eccentric flying squirrel was frightened and slipped into her sleeve pocket with a puff of smoke. Yuechen was covered in sweat, and said with his eyes that it was too dangerous here. Gongsun Lan motioned for him to be calm and let him look ahead.
It turned out that in the chaos, Aslin also took the opportunity to escape. She strapped Sna to her back and walked upside down with her hands, no slower than a normal person running on her feet.
Yuechen's eyes widened, looking at this scene in disbelief, and Gongsun Lan gestured to him and asked him to follow.
Aslyn walks on hidden paths, like a rat in the gutter, shrewd and well-versed in the art of escape. The saint who was as pure as a god back then actually became like this, and no one could help but feel embarrassed when they saw it.
The two quietly followed her behind, and finally, Aslin stopped at the mouth of a dark alley. I saw her use her palm force to hit a heavy blow somewhere on the ground, and the stone brick in front of her made a soft sound, and suddenly opened a hole. Yuechen couldn't help but be surprised: "It turns out that their secret passage vibrates through internal force, so as to control the opening and closing of the machine......"
Gongsun Lan was also a little surprised, this was the first time she had seen this secret way. The two of them waited for a while, then stepped forward to open the entrance of the secret passage and walked down the stone steps.
Underneath the stone steps is a long, dimly lit passage that can only accommodate one person. Gongsun Lan had no doubt that this was one of the entrances to Yizhuang, and she walked slowly forward, and saw a glimmer of light in a place on the right hand side of the front, where there should be a stone room.
Gongsun Lan stepped forward and looked carefully, the stone room was not big, and Aslin had already untied Sna from his back, and he was still on the ground like a rag at will, and he was free to untie the wound and apply medicine. The torches on the walls crackled and sparkled from time to time, and she didn't notice anyone watching behind her.
Presumably, there are few people here on weekdays, so Aslin is not worried that someone will soon find out that she has returned here and is hiding her enemies here.
Gongsun Lan gave Yuechen a look, and the two of them swept past the mouth of the stone chamber in a trance.
Aslin in the stone room was stunned for a moment, and looked back, but there was nothing. Immediately her eyes fell on Sna's body, she smiled coldly, clasped her palm on the stone wall in front of her, and dragged Sna deeper into the stone room......
Gongsun Lan walked along the road, and finally came across a fork in the road, she released the flying squirrel from her sleeve, touched its head, calmed its uneasy emotions, and said, "Go ahead." ”
As soon as the flying squirrel landed, it sniffed around, wandered around at two forks in the road, and chose the left road.
Gongsun Lan and Yuechen followed behind, and soon heard movement and light in front of them. The two of them leaned forward cautiously, and heard someone say in a rough voice with a strange accent, "What's the path of the guy above your head tonight?" Didn't even stop Changyu and the old woman, the two difficult ones? ”
A hoarse voice replied: "Eighty percent is a bit of a problem, although the master said that there is no forgiveness for killing, but it seems that he has long expected that the two of Changyu will not be able to keep people, and he just wants to use this to severely hurt them." Otherwise, they will let others secretly ambush all over Nanshi Town. I think the master wants to catch alive. ”
At that moment, Squeak rushed past them very quickly, and one of them exclaimed, "What the hell? ”
"Hey, we're underground, and you're making a fuss about a ghost oil?"
The ghost oil is a mouse, and the hoarse voice said, "That one just now seems to be a little different?" ”
"It's just a little bigger, don't be surprised, like a. The family of Shenyin Mountain Villa was locked up here, and those little ladies were crying wolf by the ghosts under the ghost oil. It's much better today, I'm afraid I'm used to it. As he spoke, the man sneered a few times, as if this kind of thing was already a rare joke in this boring place.
The other party also laughed when he heard this, and said, "Isn't that old bat roasting rats all day long?" It was only enough for him to eat one meal. ”
"Don't mention it......" The other person seemed to be a little sick to his stomach when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again.
The hoarse voice paused and said, "We people are not controlled on weekdays, as long as we do the task we take over, why did you call us all over this time?" Isn't there something important? ”
