Chapter 35 Turning Danger into Safety

Liang Ci took my hand: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later, without further ado, if you are late, there will be changes, and if you slow down, your eldest brother and aunt will be in more danger." ”

I nodded.

"Wait," Qing Ming suddenly called out to me, lowered her head, took a wrench from her finger, and threw it at me. I caught it somehow, and the center of the wrench was hollowed out, and there was a bead in it that could be rolled.

"Go to my yard, blow this wrench whistle and take it on your fingers, and there will be carrier pigeons in your hands, and it will take you to the contact point of the Bodhi Sect in Yangzhou City, where the eldest brother and the ninth aunt should be imprisoned, don't delay."

After speaking, he walked away without looking back, and his back was resolute.

I didn't think much about it, and did as Qing Ming said, and immediately a gray 'colored' carrier pigeon flew from not far away and landed in my hand.

Liang Ci nodded at me, and I raised my hand, and the dove immediately spread its wings and headed for the west of the city.

Liang Ci took me to follow behind the carrier pigeon, jumped a few times, and came to an inconspicuous house, where the carrier pigeon flew into the yard and disappeared.

Liang Ci put me down: "You wait outside now, I'll go in and check the situation." ”

I grabbed his sleeve and shook my head stubbornly: "You take me in, I just learned a trick method with the insects, just give it a try." ”

"How?" Liang Ci asked.

I took out a hollow box from my arms: "This kind of Gu worm is called a pathfinder Gu, it is particularly sensitive to air movement, and can detect hidden places such as cellars and secret passages that are not easy for us to discover. Last time, the insects used this kind of Gu worm to explore their way in the tomb forest in the capital. I don't think the eldest brother and aunt will be held in too obvious places. ”

Liang Ci nodded appreciatively at me: "This is very good, you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

After saying hello, he didn't say hello, grabbed my waist, flew directly into the courtyard, and fell lightly into the courtyard, and immediately a guard hidden in the shadows noticed our intrusion, and before he could shout, there was a faint flash of silver light, and immediately fell softly.

"Hey, let's come in to 'feel' and check the situation, so it's really good to sneak in like this?" I lowered my voice.

Liang Ci smirked: "No matter how fast they are, can they still beat my methods and your poison?" After speaking, he raised the hand that was originally holding my waist, and it turned out that he took advantage of my inattention to steal the silver needle of my quenching 'medicine'. I couldn't help crying and laughing, and opened the box in my hand, and immediately two moth-like flying insects dusted their wings and flew up. Liang Ci waved his hand at the 'attendant' guards who followed, and immediately divided into two ways and followed the flying insects to chase after them.

Liang Ci was really unkind, and made my silver needle superb, and there was a voice along the way: "This embroidered 'flower' needle is really effortless, and I will prepare some when I go back." ”

I was originally nervous, worried, and didn't dare to slack off at all, but I was teased by him all the way, and couldn't help but roll my eyes: "The dignified Qi prince, I'm not afraid of losing my identity." ”

"At home, following the 'woman', and the 'woman' singing with the husband is the teaching of the saints, what is there to be ashamed of."

The 'squire' guard behind him was distracted, and he couldn't help but slip under his feet and almost tripped over.

I secretly twisted his waist: "Beware of an ambush." ”

"It's just a liaison point, and it's all about concealment, but the guards aren't strict, and it's easy to eat them. What we are grabbing now is time, cutting the 'mess' with a quick knife, and we don't have the time to carefully 'touch' and check. "Liang Ci said disappreciatively.

Sure enough, as Liang Ci said, the Bodhi Sect should not have expected someone to suddenly break in, unguarded, all the 'guards' as if entering a no-man's land, the sword in their hands fell, three times five divided by two to solve the guards in the courtyard. Seeing that the general trend was gone, the others did not dare to fight, so they scattered and fled, and were caught by the 'guards' who were lying in ambush outside.

We followed the guidance of the guide Gu, and found a hidden 'hole' next to an inconspicuous Taishan stone, which was pitch black and 'gloomy', and the 'attendants' guards cautiously tried to go down, and really rescued the eldest brother and aunt who had been imprisoned for many days underneath. Although they were a little weaker, they were unharmed by any torture. I didn't care about the cold and asking for warmth, and my aunt who lived for the rest of my life only hugged me and cried bitterly.

Liang Ci did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately busily notified the Crazy Stone to arrange an attack on the Bodhi Sect, and to strike while the iron was hot, command the garrisons of all roads in Jiangnan, and according to the information obtained from the interrogation, with the speed of thunder, destroy all the forces of the Bodhi Sect in Jiangnan.

It was only half an hour since I met Liang Ci, and I was faced with separation again, so it was naturally a little difficult to give up. Actually, I really want to accompany Liang Ci together, gallop on horseback, and fight side by side, but there are more things in the Su family, and the eldest brother has just survived, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it alone for a while.

The eldest brother was worried about his mother's illness, and he couldn't wait, so he took the lead to fight the horse and return home. My aunt couldn't ride a horse, so after a short rest, I accompanied her on a slow ride. Along the way, the news of the killing of bandits by the imperial army has spread in the market, which is inspiring.

The streets of Yangzhou City have changed the dullness and sluggishness of these days, and everyone is in groups of three or five, and they are dancing together, talking about the strange soldiers who suddenly fell from the sky today. In their conversations, the ones that appear the most are naturally Liang Ci and the Su family.

There is a cool resignation, the war is a foregone conclusion, and no one will doubt the ability of the Qi Wangye. The people who had been worried for days finally settled down, and some shops tentatively removed the 'door' panels and hung up the business signs, and the guys were still looking to the left and right with anxiety while soliciting business. Then more and more shops opened their 'doors' for business, but the Su family's shop was still closed and depressed.

I sighed to myself, after my father's Tibetan silver was repaid for the debt, I don't know how much there was leftover, which was used to save the Su family's business.

When he returned to the mansion, before he could stand firmly, the housekeeper He Bo came up with a solemn face and reported: "Miss, the tenth young master committed suicide." ”

I couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't it guarded?" How could it be ......"

Uncle He sighed and said: "Tenth Young Master, he was bent on death, he sharpened it with the hairpin on his head, pierced his throat and died, and the 'waiter' guard did not expect it. ”

The good mood that had just been exchanged for the victory suddenly sank to the bottom at that moment. Qing Ming is indeed hateful and itchy, but when she suddenly heard the bad news, she still couldn't help but feel sour and sour in her heart.

My aunt already knew what had happened in these days along the way, patted me on the shoulder, and comforted me in a low voice: "He went astray for his own 'selfishness' and 'desire', and he is still burdened with the blood debts of your grandmother and several members of the Su family. Don't get too hung up, either. ”

I nodded, and hurriedly sent my aunt back to the hospital to freshen up and rest, and checked again and again to make sure that she was in good health, and then put her mind at ease.

The 'guards' who inquired about the news outside the city came to report that the first battle flag was victorious, and the stolen gold had been transported back to Yangzhou City. Liang Ci and Crazy Stone took advantage of the victory to pursue, and they were rushing to the next Bodhi stronghold without stopping.

In a short time, the gold had arrived at the Su family intact, and the people were relieved to see that the third batch of gold and silver had been delivered safely, and they believed my words.

As a veritable head of the Su family, the eldest brother took over the account books handed over by the shopkeepers at the 'gate' of the Su family, and delivered an impassioned speech on the spot, not only promising to cash in the arrears as soon as possible, but also asking the shops to make a rectification and inventory as soon as possible and reopen the 'door' as soon as possible.

Nowadays, Jiangnan is still in chaos and is not stable. Those people who had been worried and anxious to recover the arrears saw the strong strength of the Su family, and felt that it was not safe to exchange cash, so they still carried the silver ticket and returned with their children and daughters.

My eldest brother and I, who were still worried about the lack of silver, really breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the Su family's disaster this time was safely passed, and we were very glad that the Su family was able to survive.

In the rest of the days, the eldest brother began to be busy with the reopening of the store in Zhangluo Yangzhou City, fortunately, all the guys and shopkeepers of the store were there, and they were familiar with the road, and some trivial things did not need to be bothered by the eldest brother. Rao is like this, he is still so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, and he forgets to sleep and eat.

I don't know anything about business, so I can't help at all, so I took it upon myself to go to the Fuhua Nunnery, leaving Qinglian there to recuperate temporarily, and then pick it up after the Su family is stable. The eighth aunt hugged Qing Lian in her arms with pity, and a different look appeared on her whole face, like a treasure.

The second lady has always been 'fine' at the 'door' in the business field, and the women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows. I took her back to the house and helped my eldest brother take care of business affairs, wise, decisive, and easy, and was quite respected by the steward.

There are not so many silver repairs in the house for the time being, and Aunt Jiu took the servants and 'women' left in the house, and picked up a few loyal subordinates to recall a few, and carefully sorted out and cleaned the Su family, thinking that it would be better to add some tables, chairs and benches first, and live at home.

Before he could do it, some people came to the 'door' one after another to beg for mercy, and returned the objects that he had snatched back intact, and confessed with a handful of snot and tears. The aunt said that they all took the name of the Qiwang Mansion, and they were afraid that in the future, the prefect would punish them for their sins in order to please them.

For the first time, Aunt Jiu raised her posture and knocked those who took advantage of the 'chaos' to rob one or two, and then happily accepted all the belongings.

When there is no one in private, my aunt will look at my eyebrows proudly and praise: "I said that my little eleven will definitely get ahead in the future, which will make me proud in the Su family." Now that I am in my words, being able to be in charge of the Su family is something that I couldn't think of before. It's just a pity that a good family is now dead and wounded, and the world is really impermanent. ”

I secretly sighed and regretted it.
