Chapter 181: Conspiracy
When Ge Shu gave it to her at that time, she was very disgusted by her, such a big thing, with a hidden weapon in it, Cheng Xi felt that it was not much different from a children's toy, but Cheng Xi thought that in this era, such a children's toy was also rare, and finally accepted it, and the hidden weapon inside, Cheng Xi also asked Ah Yi next to Xu Sanlang to replace her with a fine needle with quenched anesthetic.
There were more and more guards outside, and the man gave the order, "Fence off the whole courtyard for me." ”
After that, he looked at Cheng Xi Awu gloomily, "I advise you to let Master Xu go, now that this courtyard has been surrounded by water, forgive you for being unable to fly, if you let us go, please intercede in front of our adults, and maybe you can spare your life." ”
Cheng Xi pursed his mouth, "You and I are as stupid as you, believe your deceitful." ”
The face of the next person who was angry with Cheng Xi was pale, but he didn't dare to say more to Cheng Xi, for fear of angering Cheng Xi and being disadvantaged by Xu Wenyu.
Ah Wu on the side said, "What should we do now?" ”
Xu Wenyu said with a flattering face, "Xi'er, you let the fourth uncle go, the fourth uncle asked you to leave, and sent you back to Lihua Village, okay?" It's all the fault of the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle knows that he is wrong, you are about to let the fourth uncle go. ”
Cheng Xi glanced at Xu Wenyu with a sneer, and said in a cold voice, "Disgusting." ”
After that, he didn't bother with Xu Wenyu anymore, but Xu Wenyu was still muttering, persuading Cheng Xi to let her go, and offering a bunch of conditions that he thought were very tempting for both silver and for Ah Wu to be an official, but not only did he not get the approval and response of the two people, but it made Ah Wu think he was noisy, and directly tore a section of his clothes and blocked his mouth.
Cheng Xi tilted his head and thought for a while, it was definitely impossible to leave, even if Xu Wenyu left as a hostage, he was in danger of being captured, and now he had to wait for Ah Wen to move the rescue troops to save them, so it was better to simply let Xu Wenyu stay in their hands as a hostage, stay in the governor's mansion and wait for Xu Sanlang to save them.
With an idea in his heart, Cheng Xi said, "Let's go into the house first, and then tie him up." ”
Ah Wu asked suspiciously, "Don't you want to leave here?" ”
Cheng Xi shook his head and replied with a sneer, "Since they want to leave us in the Governor's Mansion, then let's just stay in the Governor's Mansion and not leave." ”
After speaking, he took the lead in turning around and entering the house, and Xu Wenyu, who was unconscious with his hands and feet, also followed.
When everyone outside saw this scene, they were all confused, and they didn't know what they were going to do? With a hostage in hand, shouldn't you use the hostage as a shield to escape?
Seeing a few people enter the house, one of the leading guards said to the subordinate, "Master Hu, what are they trying to do?" What do we do now? ”
Master Hu said in annoyance, "It's really beautiful, you go and pick a team of powerful masters to come out, wait for it to get dark, and find a way to sneak in to rescue them, I'm watching them here." ”
The leading escort responded, and quickly left.
And in the house, Ah Wu took Xu Wenyu and Cheng Xi into the main hall of the courtyard, and Cheng Xi said, "Find a chair and tie him up, anyway, we can't escape, just take him as a hostage and live here." ”
The sky outside has gradually darkened, and the light in the room has begun to become more and more pressing, Cheng Xi observed left and right, the hall of the main courtyard is quite magnificent, looking at the lampstands everywhere, Cheng Xi simply took the fire fold and lit all the lampstands in the house.
With this ignition, the main hall became brightly lit, Cheng Xi observed it carefully, it should not be easy to touch people at night so bright, Cheng Xi was a little relieved.
The Lord Hu outside was still shouting, "Let my family go, otherwise I will release the arrows." ”
Cheng Xi looked at the room and replied loudly, "Let it go, shoot you and us to death." ”
Xu Wenyu was tied to the chair by the curtain cloth pulled by Awu, his eyes were red and staring at Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi felt his realization, and simply looked at him and shrugged, "You don't look like a victim, become such a situation, but it is all caused by yourself, you said that I stayed well in Lihua Village, our well water does not violate the river water, you are your official, how good is it for me to be my little people?" But you insist on beating my idea, forcing me to come to Cloud City with you, who do you say is to blame for making it like this? ”
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Wenyu's eyes that wanted to eat people, and pursed his mouth, "You said how old you are, you still think about me as a little girl, I am still your nephew and daughter-in-law, how dirty my thoughts are, I am still a reader, and I have read all the books in the belly of a dog, this must let people know that I have lost the face of the Xu family and the face of your ancestors of the Xu family." ”
"Forget it, it's a waste of my saliva to talk too much to a scumbag like you, don't worry, I didn't plan to kill you, but one day you will be punished."
After scolding, Cheng Xi felt a little more comfortable, and went to the side of the main hall, the food on the table was quite rich, Cheng Xi sat down on the stool next to him, took out the silver needle he had prepared before and tried it, and ate it unceremoniously after no problem.
When he was full of food and drink, Cheng Xi went over and said to Ah Wu, who was guarding Xu Wenyu's side, "You also go over to eat, I'm afraid they will take action at night, and we have to save our strength to deal with it." ”
Ah Wu nodded in response, then took out a dagger from his arms and handed it to Cheng Xi, before going to the table to eat.
When the two of them were full, Cheng Xi asked Ah Wu to move Xu Wenyu tied to the chair in the middle of the hall, and then moved a chair with Ah Wu and sat in front of and behind Xu Wenyu, and then Cheng Xi said, "I will rest tonight, you keep vigil, and tomorrow during the day you rest, I will keep vigil." ”
Ah Wu said worriedly, "Madame, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with those officers and soldiers." ”
Cheng Xi smiled without worrying at all and said, "I don't have to deal with those guards and soldiers, I just need to deal with him." ”
While speaking, Cheng Xi pointed at Xu Wenyu and continued, "With him in our hands, those officers and soldiers don't dare to do it, unless they don't care about his life." ”
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Wenyu and said with a gloating expression, "You just pray that your subordinates still care about your lives, otherwise we will only die together." ”
Ah Wu glanced at Cheng Xi, and said in his heart, his master really has a vision, ordinary girls encounter such a scene, I am afraid that they will be scared and cry a long time ago, but their wife is brave and resourceful, and they are still in the mood to be angry with others at such a critical moment.
In such an environment, it is still sitting and sleeping, it is not easy to fall asleep, Cheng Xi stayed up for a long time, forced himself to rest, and finally fell asleep in a daze.
Cheng Xi was woken up by Ah Wu, Cheng Xi opened his eyes, the room was still brightly lit, Xu Wenyu was still tied to the chair, gagged, and closed his eyes in embarrassment, afraid that he couldn't stay up for too long before he fell asleep.
Cheng Xi looked at Ah Wu, and heard Ah Wu speak, "There is movement." ”
While saying that, Ah Wu had already picked up the soft sword in his hand and put it on Xu Wenyu's neck, Cheng Xi also picked up the dagger placed beside him on the chair, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Cheng Xi knew that Ah Wu was a person who practiced martial arts, and his ear power was better than his own, and his ability to perceive danger was stronger than his own.
Ah Wu replied, "There are people all around, approaching our main hall. ”
The voices of the two people, coupled with the sword around his neck, also woke up Xu Wenyu, who had his eyes closed, his eyes were bloodshot, but he was full of anticipation, afraid that he was about to be saved, but he didn't know what he was about to suffer.
Cheng Xi heard Ah Wu's words, sneered, and said loudly, "Don't hide it, come out." ”
Sure enough, as soon as Cheng Xi finished speaking, many people appeared around the hall, and the door in front was also pushed open, and the leader of the officers and soldiers in armor said loudly, "Let us go, otherwise don't blame us for having no swords and eyes." ”
Cheng Xi laughed, stood up, played with the dagger in his hand, his voice was not loud or small, as if he was muttering to himself, "Is the sword eyeless?" ”
It's just that kind of voice, but it's just enough for everyone to hear.
Everyone, including Ah Wu and Xu Wenyu, didn't know what Cheng Xi was laughing at or what he meant by what he said, but in the next moment, everyone knew the meaning of Cheng Xi's words.
Cheng Xi, who was playing with the dagger in his hand, walked in front of Xu Wenyu, and then inserted it into Xu Wenyu's thigh, but Xu Wenyu was gagged, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to scream in pain, only whimpering in pain, and his eyes couldn't wait to pop out.
Cheng Xi took out the dagger with an indifferent face, wiped the blood stains on the dagger on Xu Wenyu's clothes, and said, "It is indeed a sword without eyes." ”
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, obviously she was a weak little woman, but she didn't even blink her eyes when she stabbed people with a knife, and the person she stabbed was their Lord Xu.
wiped the dagger, but Cheng Xi was still holding the dagger in front of Xu Wenyu's eyes, and the frightened leader who was still talking to her just now shouted, "Stop!" ”
Cheng Xi turned around and looked at the leader, "You want me to stop?" ”
The leader nodded, and Cheng Xi snorted coldly, "This is just a warning, if you sneak into this hall again, as long as one person comes in, I will stab him, and if ten people come in, I will stab him ten times, now get out of here, take a slow step, and reward him with a few more knives." ”
While speaking, the dagger in Cheng Xi's hand began to compare with Xu Wenyu again, and the frightened Xu Wenyu's eyes widened in fear, only whimpering at the person at the door, and he couldn't make a sound when he was gagged, he was in pain and anxious, and he was already sweating profusely.
The leader shouted in fright, "Stop, let's go out, get out at once." ”
Seeing that everyone had already gone out, Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief and spread out on the chair.
Just now, everyone looked at her calmly, in fact, only she understood in her heart how nervous and scared she was when the knife went down, her heart was trembling, and when she started, Cheng Xi only kept comforting herself in her heart, she was just a brute under the knife, and she only stabbed the brute.
The room was quiet again, only Xu Wenyu let out an unbearable whimper, and Cheng Xi didn't bother to pay attention to him at this time, spread out on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Ah Wu glanced at Cheng Xi's frowning brows, as well as the thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and said, "Madame, rest for a while, I'll keep watch." ”
Cheng Xi didn't speak, she was afraid that her voice would tremble as soon as she spoke, so she only nodded, and continued to lean back on the chair with her eyes closed.
After that, Cheng Xi never fell asleep again even if his eyes were closed, and by the dawn of the next morning, Cheng Xi's eyes were also a little red, he stood up and moved his muscles and bones, and saw that Xu Wenyu was still open with red eyes, and then saw the bloody wound on Xu Wenyu's leg, and frowned slightly.
So Cheng Xi said to Ah Wu, who hadn't slept all night, "You go to the door and tell them, if you don't want them to die, you can send some gold sore medicine in, and then send some water and food in." ”
Ah Wu nodded, and then went to the gate, and said it to the outside according to Cheng Xi's words, and it didn't take long for someone to knock on the door outside, Cheng Xi motioned for Ah Wu to put the dagger on Xu Wenyu's neck, and then said, "Push the door and come in." ”
Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and then a maid stood at the door with a large food box, and said, "The slave maid has been ordered to come and serve the lord. ”
Cheng Xi glanced at the girl with slightly squinted eyes, such a scene, the ordinary little maid would have been scared and trembling for a long time, but this maid did not have any abnormality, I am afraid that it is not an ordinary maid.
Seeing the maid walking inside with a food box, Cheng Xi said in a cold voice, "Stop." ”
