117. Bandits
Lin Boqin didn't dare to stay too long in Qingyuan County, he said goodbye to Gu Jingtong in a hurry, and left with Chu Ji.
At night, passing through a secluded mountain forest, the sound of horses' hooves startled the birds.
Chu Jiben snuggled in Lin Boqin's arms and fell asleep, hearing the partridge chirping, and suddenly opened his eyes.
The next moment, I heard the grass around me, and several men in black jumped out to stop them with bright big knives.
The horse was frightened, raised its front hooves and neighed, throwing Lin Boqin and Chu Ji off the horse.
"Who?" Lin Boqin helped Chu Cheng to stand up and stared at her.
Several men in black sneered and said, "I planted this road, and I opened this tree!" β
Chu Hui's forehead twitched and corrected him: "Are you saying the opposite?" β
Although Chu Cheng was dressed plainly and wrapped in a headscarf, a group of people in black saw her appearance, and their eyes lit up. Lin Boqin secretly said that it was not good, and clenched Chu Cheng's hand tightly, his eyes turned twice on the man in black, and suddenly sneered: "What kind of mountain bandit is pretending?" Who sent you to assassinate you? β
Several people in black were stunned, they didn't expect to be recognized so quickly.
Chu Cheng was stunned when she heard this: "Are they pretending?" β
Lin Boqin lowered his eyes, looked at several people wearing soap boots of the same color, and said, "How can the mountain bandits wear Yamen-style shoes?" I don't do it like some. β
The man in black looked at each other for a moment, and when the first one waved the big knife in his hand, he said in a strange way: "Lord Lin is really smart, but smart people generally die early." β
Lin Boqin pretended to retreat and quietly let Chu Cheng get close to the horse, and he said in a low voice: "Auntie, you go first." Go back to Qingyuan County to find Gu Jingtong. β
Chu Cheng gritted her teeth: "These people are obviously coming for you, how can I leave you here alone?" β
"It's not like it's good, you slip away and move the rescuers when you encounter danger!"
Lin Boqin didn't expect that at this critical juncture, Chu Cheng would not act according to the plan.
Chu Cheng was anxious: "That's the excuse I want to be with you, why did you slip away first?" How could I leave you alone in danger? β
"Sister!"
The man in black scolded: "What are you two muttering about! β
Lin Boqin turned his head helplessly, his face was as serious as frost and snow: "If you want to kill me today, you have to give a reason?" β
The black-clothed men laughed for a while, and the first man sighed, waving a big knife and pressing forward step by step: "In this case, I will tell Lord Lin directly, so that you can be a ghost." He paused in his tone, "You shouldn't have done it, you shouldn't have started investigating Lord Chen." You let your subordinates steal the account book, sorry, they were caught, so Lord Chen ordered me to come and take your life overnight! β
Feng He, Yang La, they actually failed to steal the account book! Still caught by Governor Chen?
"What happened to Governor Chen?" Lin Boqin clenched his fists, for fear of hearing the news of Feng He's death.
However, the man in black didn't say anything this time, he glanced at a few companions around him, and slashed at Lin Boqin with a knife: "These things, Lord Lin naturally knows if he has done a ghostββ"
Seeing the big knife coming, before it fell, Lin Boqin suddenly fell to the ground and fainted.
Behind him, the lady, was holding a pebble.
βοΌβ
A few men in black were stunned for a moment, what is the situation? Why did Lin Boqin's wife personally take action and knock his husband unconscious?
Chu Cheng was sure that Lin Boqin would not wake up for a while, and silently said a few words of sorry, so he looked at the other party viciously.
It's a pity that he looks too beautiful, and this look has no deterrent effect at all in the eyes of several people in black.
"Yo, what is Mrs. Lin doing?"
The man in black at the head looked at her waist and chest, and showed a lewd smile to his companion, "Are you afraid that Lord Lin won't be able to stand the stimulation after seeing what happened, so he will faint first?" β
Chu Cheng took the pebble in her hand and threw it one by one, looked at them playfully, and sneered: "Just a few of you?" β
"Can't I satisfy you?"
"Tsk, it's true that it's not enough to stuff your teeth."
Chu Cheng had already noticed that these people were vain, at most they knew some three-legged cat kung fu, thinking about their fate, but he didn't mind their verbal teasing.
The man in black at the head couldn't hold back any longer, threw the big knife, and rushed towards Chu Monkey, but in the next second, he found himself in the air. Not only did he pounce in the air, but the big knife he threw away was held in Chu Cheng's hand at some point, and the cold light was cold.
Chu Cheng pulled the corners of her mouth indifferently: "Have you heard of Jiangyang thief Yu Xuanji?" β
The men in black were stunned: "What? β
Chu Shen's eyes were deep, her body moved slightly, and she rushed into the crowd with a knife, her figure was as dexterous as a swallow, and there was a bloody light between the rabbit's ups and downs. These people didn't expect Chu Cheng to know martial arts, and his martial arts were extremely high, so they were frightened, Chu Cheng sneered: "Where to run!" β
If she reveals her identity this time, she will never let these people leave alive.
The man in black led by him, seeing the people around him lying in a pool of blood, and then looking at Chu Ji who was smiling like a flower at this time, he only felt that she was Shura who came from hell with a knife.
He turned his head and wanted to run, but Chu Cheng was on tiptoe, but blocked his way.
The man in black suddenly knew that he had kicked the iron plate this time, and when he thought of what she had said before, "Jiangyang thief Jade Xuanji", his knees weakened in fright, and he knelt on the ground to beg for mercy: "Mrs. Lin...... Spare your life, spare your life! It's the villain who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please spare the villain's life! β
Chu Hui's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "You know my identity, how can I let you go." β
The man in black's eyes rolled in a panic: "Don't worry, madam, I will definitely hide my identity for you!" Never let ......," he looked at Lin Boqin in a coma, "Never let Lord Lin know." β
"Yes."
Chu Ji also glanced at Lin Boqin who was lying on the ground, as if he was just asleep.
She struck out suddenly, and the big knife slashed through the neck of the man in black, and her voice was as cold as ice: "I can't afford to gamble." β
She couldn't let anything affect them until it was all a foregone conclusion.
The man in black clutched his neck and fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, and he did not bat at death. He couldn't have imagined that Chu Cheng was the important criminal who had a heavy reward from the imperial court!
***
When Lin Boqin woke up, he had a splitting headache.
There was a blank in his mind for a moment, and then he remembered something, and said in surprise: "Sister-"
"I'm here."
Chu Cheng hurriedly went to hold his arm.
Xu was too heavy before, and Lin Boqin knocked out a big bag on the back of his head, which was bulging and a little funny.
Lin Boqin saw that she was safe and sound, and his heartstrings loosened slightly. Only then did I look around and find that it was an inn outside Wangzhou City, with a stove set up outside the door, and it was gurgling decoction.
This scene made him feel that the previous encounter with thieves was just a dream.
Lin Boqin held his forehead, frowned and asked, "How could I faint?" Where is it now? And those men in black at that time......"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."
Chu Cheng told him the lie he had thought of a long time ago: "After you were knocked out by the thieves, fortunately a ranger passed by to help, otherwise I really don't know what to do." The ranger killed all the thieves, but left without saying anything to me. β
There are many rangers in the Great Yuan Dynasty, Xiao Shu is, and so is Feng He, so Lin Boqin did not doubt these words.
It's just that......
"He killed all the men in black?"
"Yes."
Chu Cheng pretended to be scared and nodded, "None of them are alive." β
Lin Boqin frowned,
Chu Cheng diverted the topic, "Those thieves said before that Feng He's deeds were revealed, so they would come to hunt us down and kill us on the orders of Governor Chen. Wangzhou City can't be entered, this inn is hidden, but you can hide for a few days temporarily. β
Lin Boqin shook his head and said: "I don't know if Feng He and they were taken by Governor Chen, if I don't go back, I'm afraid that Governor Chen will kill them." He sighed, "In this case, I am bent on going my own way, and I can't involve innocent people." β
"Birchin, but what can you do now?"
As she spoke, Lin Boqin lowered his gaze.
Chu Cheng thought of the county lord of Ningque and Yu Wenyi, and she whispered to reassure: "You recuperate first, don't worry, I will find someone to go to Wangzhou City to find out the situation, and then make another plan." β
Lin Boqin's mind was muddy, and he knew that he couldn't make a clear judgment at the moment, so he agreed to come down and rest in the inn for the time being.
Chu Cheng fed him medicine, and while he was asleep, he disguised himself as a man and sneaked into Wangzhou City.
She originally wanted to inquire about whether the Chen Governor's Mansion had disposed of Yang La, but she asked several passers-by, and they all said that there had been no major incidents in Wangzhou City recently, let alone heard who the Chen Governor's Mansion would detain. was suspiciously at the stall, and someone behind her suddenly patted her on the shoulder: "Where is Lord Lin?" β
His voice was cold, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Feng He wearing a hat.
"Feng He?!"
Chu Cheng was shocked: "You and Yang Lahu Yu have not been ...... by Governor Chen?"
"Where's Lord Lin?"
Feng He interrupted her and asked with a serious face.
Chu Cheng knew that he didn't like him, so he snorted and said, "Outside the city." β
Feng He snorted, turned his head and went to an alley, and called out Yang Lahu Yudu, who was wearing a hat, and the group didn't say much, and immediately drove their horses out of the city and rushed to the inn where Lin Boqin was.
That night, Lin Boqin woke up groggily and saw Feng He, Yang La, Hu Yu and others were there.
Hu Yu saw that the swollen lump on the back of his head had not disappeared, and asked worriedly: "My lord, do you think it's okay?" After listening to what Chu Cheng said, he felt that this group of thieves was simply mad, and he actually secretly hit the back of his family's head with a stone.
Lin Boqin helped his forehead and shook his head: "It's okay, don't worry, what happened when you stole the account book?" Why was it discovered by Governor Chen? β
Hu Yu looked at Yang La, and Yang La rubbed his hands embarrassedly: "Blame me, I was careless for a while, and I was discovered by Zhao Qi when I went to return the key." Zhao Qi called many officials to surround me, Feng He had already obtained the account book, but in order to let Zhao Qi let me go, he returned the account book again. β
Lin Boqin didn't expect it to be because of this.
He lowered his eyes and sighed silently.
"In this way, it will be difficult to get the account book again."
Even if you get the account book later, maybe you have already been stolen by Governor Chen.
Chu Cheng is not worried, no matter what kind of demon he wants to be in Governor Chen, as long as Ning Que and Yuwen Yi arrive, he will not be able to eat and walk around!
