In this chaotic season, everyone is very careful.

Su Wenxing hurriedly took two steps back, raised his two hands, opened his hands, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be afraid, you have to go back to the county seat of Qi County." The two of us missed the hour, so we wanted to take a ride, and there was no other meaning. ”

"You're going back to the county seat?"

"yes!"

Listening to Su Wenxing's Henan accent on the handlebar, he finally relaxed his vigilance.

He jumped out of the car, brushed the horsewhip in his hand, and said, "It's so late, and you're still hanging outside, aren't you afraid of being caught by horse thieves?" Come on, I'm glad you two got in the car. ”

The whip is very skillful, and it can be seen that it is a familiar style.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Josie was overjoyed and stepped forward to get into the car.

But at this moment, Su Wenxing stopped her.

"If you enter the city at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a hotel. I've heard people say that hotels in the county town aren't cheap. Why don't we go to Liuzhuang and spend the night? There are also hotels over there, and the prices are not too expensive. ”

Josie was a little confused and turned her head to look at Su Wenxing.

The handlebar style was reluctant, and said loudly: "You donkey ball, don't you play me?" Let me stop, you're not leaving? I'm telling you, it's not safe in the wilderness. If you two can't go, if you don't get in the car, I'm going to go...... It's unlucky to meet you donkey. ”

Countrymen, it's inevitable that they don't speak cleanly.

Josie's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Uncle, what I said is right, the hotels in the city are too expensive, let's just get together in Liuzhuang tonight, and then enter the city at dawn tomorrow." ”

"You're not leaving?"

"Not leaving, not leaving? Uncle, I'm sorry. ”

After Josie finished speaking, she returned to Su Wenxing's side.

The two of them turned around and walked in the direction of Liu Zhuang, and as they walked, Josie lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Su, what's going on?" How do you want to go to Liuzhuang in a good way? It's not like they've already agreed. ”

"It's a horse thief!"

"Huh?"

"When he got out of the car, he stomped his foot, which is a habit only for horse thieves.

Also, his whip is a typical horse thief. His hands are a little rough, and he has calluses on his fingers, as well as in the tiger's mouth, which is typical of a gun-wielder. Maybe he didn't feel it, after he got out of the car, did he hold the gun, and his waist bulged out. ”

Su Wenxing's physical function is poor, but his observability is still there.

After hearing this, Josie couldn't help but panic a little.

She hurriedly took two steps, trying to get out of here.

But at this moment, there was the sound of pulling the bolt behind him.

Immediately after, I heard the handlebar type say in a low voice: "Eh, you're still an expert, do you see it?" ”

Su Wenxing's body stiffened, subconsciously stopped a step, fell behind Josie, and slowly turned around.

Originally, it was Josie who walked ahead.

With this turn, it became Su Wenxing blocking in front of Josie.

"This master, what are you doing here? We suddenly don't want to go into the city, we want to go to Liuzhuang, and it doesn't get in the way of the master's affairs, right? Don't worry, we all know the rules! We haven't seen anything, we haven't seen it. ”

"Yo hey, still talk about rules?

Since I want to talk about the rules, I will also tell you about the rules. Today, we touched the plate here, and if we want you to make it work, I will wipe the plate. Hehe, this is going to make you planing the pestle, and the master is going to be finished. ”

The handlebar style speaks the northern Henan dialect, but Josie didn't understand a word.

"Xiao Su, what is he talking about?"

"He said he met us here and showed his face, and if he let us run, he would lose face. In case, let's go back and report to the official to smash his business, then he will be finished...... Well, that's what it means. ”

The handlebar was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "On the road? ”

"It's not!"

"Hehe, then don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for not being long-sighted."

As he spoke, he raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed it at Su Wenxing.

It's too late, it's too fast, and there was a gunshot.

Almost at the same time as the gunshot, Su Wenxing dodged sideways, and at the same time knocked Josie to the ground at once.

At the moment of retreat, he raised his arms.

A cold light flew out of his hand, and the handlebar was completely unguarded, and was stabbed in the face by a dagger, and fell to the side of the road. The bullet almost skipped past Su Wenxing's clothes, and I don't know where it flew. After the knife was shot, Su Wenxing was drenched in cold sweat, his whole body was weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks. All the strength of his body was drained in an instant, and he sat there, motionless.

"Xiao Su, Xiao Su, are you okay?"

Josie got up from the ground, ignoring the dust on her body, and threw herself at Su Wenxing's side.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, it's just a little out of strength."

His body is not as good as before, and he has already used all his strength when he shot out with a flying knife just now.

At this time, let alone standing up, I can't even move my fingers. He breathed slowly, adjusting his breathing according to the health preservation techniques he had learned after reuniting with his master, and felt that his body was slowly regaining consciousness.

"Go get the dagger back."

Josie was a little out of proportion at this time, and when she heard Su Wenxing's order, she hurriedly agreed.

She got up and trotted all the way to the handlebars.

The handlebar style was out of breath, and a special M1921 bayonet was stuck in the front door, blood flowing down the wound, soaking the yellow earth beneath him. He stared at a pair of eyes, and his withered yellow face showed an incredible expression. Perhaps, he never thought that he would die in the hands of Su Wenxing.

Beside him, a twenty-shot mirrored box cannon was dropped.

This is a pistol, the scientific name is Mauser military pistol, which is called a box cannon in China.

Josie's hands trembled slightly, and she picked up the box cannon first.

Then, with two more strokes, she grabbed the hilt of the bayonet and pulled it out with all her might.

A puddle of blood splattered on her tweed coat, but she didn't realize it and quickly returned to Su Wenxing's side.

"Xiao Su, you killed someone!"

At this time, Su Wenxing also regained a little energy and slowly stood up.

He took the bayonet and the gun, put it away, and quickly checked the pistol.

The pistol was new, and there was still oil left in the chamber.

He turned off the box gun, put it in his arms, walked over to the corpse, crouched down and began to search.

"Xiao Su, what are you looking for?"

"Let's see if there's anything that proves his identity."

Su Wenxing didn't reply, but searched for a long time, but didn't find anything.

Aside from a packet of unopened Ocean, there is no information about his identity. Su Wenxing shook his head, stood up and shoved the body into the ditch on the side of the road, and then walked towards the carriage.

"Miss Qiao, get in the car!"

"Huh?"

Josie finally reacted, took three steps and two steps to Su Wenxing's side, and jumped into the car.

Su Wenxing did not hesitate, picked up the horsewhip inserted in the car, shook it in the wind, and snapped it into a whip.

Pulling the cart was a very old-looking horse, which trotted at the sound of the whip. Su Wenxing's face was calm, and while driving the car, he carefully observed Josie out of the corner of his eye.

Josie sat in the car, still shaking.

But it can be seen that she has calmed down a lot.

"Xiao Su, what are you doing?"

Can write a good handwriting, knows feng shui, speaks black and clear, is good at daggers, and is proficient in firearms.

No matter how you look at this, it's not an ordinary person.

Don't say it's Josie, if you are any other person, you may be suspicious of Su Wenxing.

Su Wenxing coughed lightly and said, "In the past, the family had a little money, and they studied with Xiucai in their hometown, but later the warlords fought, and the family was gone. I was desperate, so I defected to the bandits of Wangwu Mountain. Last year, the national army sent troops to suppress bandits, and the village was gone, so I came to Qi County to join my relatives......

Hehe, this is a mess, my relative has long since died.

In the early years, I fell ill in the village, so my body was weak, but fortunately it was Ma Sanye who took me in. ”

This is a half-truth.

He was indeed in the middle of his family, and his family died in the warlord melee.

But he did not become a bandit, but defected to the revolutionary army at that time...... There are some things that can't be said too clearly. Su Wenxing kept his task in mind, and he came to Qi County to complete the task for Li Tongsheng.

Su Wenxing has never been an intelligence officer, but he has also learned a lot of knowledge by the side of the president.

Tipsters, you have to hide your identity.

He wasn't suspicious of Josie, but instinctively concealed it.

A hint of pity flashed in Josie's eyes, and she said softly: "If it weren't for those chaotic parties, maybe you would still be a pampered young master in your family now, maybe you could still rely on your talent and jinshi to become an official, why did you fall to the point where you are now?" ”

She wanted to comfort Su Wenxing, but for some reason, Su Wenxing always felt that this sound a little weird.

"Miss Qiao, sit tight!"

"Hmm!"

"When you get to the store later, don't say anything, I'll go and explain the situation to Ma Sanye, and you go back to your room to rest."

"Good!"

Josie this time, there was no stubbornness, just a series of promises.

Su Wenxing whipped the horse, drove the carriage all the way, and finally arrived at the county seat of Qi County.

When we arrived at the county seat, the city gate was about to close. He hurriedly checked his identity, drove into the city gate, and went straight to the Tongfu Hotel.

"Miss Qiao, go back to the house, don't talk nonsense."

After Su Wenxing finished speaking, he hesitated and took out the M1921 bayonet from his arms and quietly handed it to Josie.

"Take self-defense, and I'll tell you when I'm done with things."

"Good!"

Josie wanted to excuse herself, but after hesitating, she took the bayonet and put it away.

Su Wenxing parked the car next to the hotel and walked into the hotel quickly.

"Xiao Su, are you back? Why is it so late, Miss Joe? ”

Ma Sanyuan was already busy with things in the kitchen at this time, and was sitting behind the counter, settling accounts with an abacus.

Seeing Su Wenxing come in, he asked with a smile.

However, before the words fell, he saw Josie coming in behind Su Wenxing, and went upstairs in a panic.

"Xiao Su, what's going on?"

Ma Sanyuan traveled south and north, and his eyesight was enough.

He saw that something was wrong at a glance, and hurriedly walked out of the counter, pulled Su Wenxing and said softly, "Why is Miss Qiao panicking?" ”

Su Wenxing glanced into the lobby, and there was no one in the lobby at this time.

He lowered his voice and said, "Third Master, Miss Qiao and I met a horse thief outside just now. I killed someone! ”
