Chapter 37: The Night
"Steward Yu, I still have to trouble you, don't make a noise about Liu Yunlong's matter for the time being, and talk about it later."
Wang Xu and the rain steward walked towards the black horse together.
"Xu Gongzi doesn't need to say much, I understand."
The rain steward touched his beard and smiled, "Qiusheng, bring the snow broken soul." β
"Xu Gongzi, this knife?"
Qiusheng, who was watching the horse from the side, came over and cautiously handed over the sunken wooden box, which naturally contained the snow broken soul.
"Okay."
Wang Xu stretched out his hand and took it, "Steward Yu, do you know where this knife attracted Liu Yunlong?" β
"I'm not afraid of Xu Gongzi's jokes, we don't know. The only thing I know is that this knife is extremely ominous! β
Steward Yu smiled bitterly and pointed to the wooden box in Wang Xu's hand, "Young Master Xu, don't touch it with your hands, there was a guard in our group who touched this knife with his hand, became insane, and finally died." β
Although the rain steward said so, he still refused to say how the guard died, as if there was some kind of taboo.
Wang Xu carefully inquired about some information about this knife, if the information is true, then this knife is really an evil knife.
Some people say that Xue Zhongtian killed too much in his early years, causing this knife to drink countless blood, and finally turned into an evil knife.
Some people also say that it was Xue Zhongtian who killed the opponent's body in his later years, and detained the enemy's soul in this knife, making the knife more spiritual, and over time, the knife became weird.
Anyway, each version is inseparable from the figure of the snow in the sky, and they all say that this knife is an evil soldier.
He silently tied the wooden box to the horse's back, but it was strange that the rain steward and his party were so careful with the knife, and the horse was not afraid or bored at all, as if it did not exist.
When they were done, the group got on their horses and got ready.
A clearing had been cleared out of the snow, and the blazing fire illuminated the night.
Wang Xu and his party rode their horses and stayed for a while, then turned around and left, disappearing into the night.
Not long after Wang Xu and the others left.
Tread, tread, tread......
A pair of horsemen galloped towards and slowly stopped in front of the fire.
"My lord, this is probably done by bandits."
A cavalryman leaned over and shouted a loud call.
"Humph!! What a fanatic! β
The leading general spat out cold words, "How far is it from Jin Border City now?" β
"It's almost there, Lord Song."
The cavalry exploring the way ahead replied loudly on horseback.
"Who ?!!?"
The cavalry beside the fire suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a figure in the distance, and immediately drew their swords.
"Hee-hee-hee~"
The child's innocent laughter rang out and began to echo around him.
"Who?!"
General Song shouted loudly.
Bell, bell, bell!
Suddenly, the wind chimes rang and spread melodiously into the distance, and a strange jumping sound gradually came from the snow.
Bang, bang, bang!
"My lord?! Yes...... Yes!!! β
"What's going on?! Fang Qing?! β
"It's you?! How dare you break the rules?! Not afraid ......"
In the end, Lord Song's voice stopped abruptly.
"Hehehehe~"
The remnants of the fire were extinguished, and the sound of chewing could be heard in the darkness.
"Drive-"
The sound of galloping horses and whips rang out constantly.
"Young Master Xu, in charge, I'll be in Liujiazhuang soon."
In the snow, four black-headed horses galloped wildly, and Xiao Si was on the horse's back, rising and falling with the horse, staring into the distance, and immediately shouted loudly after seeing a bright light.
"Okay."
A sound sounded in the wind.
The sound of horses' hooves became more and more urgent, and Wang Xu and his party got closer and closer to Liujiazhuang.
The night grew darker and the wind colder.
Outside Liujiazhuang.
"Phewβ"
Wang Xu and his party quickly stopped.
Liujiazhuang is actually not far from the Jin border city, and it will take an hour to ride a horse.
Although this village is called Zhuang, it is a good place to go by the size of the county system of the country in terms of area, and it is a good place to go by the mountains and rivers.
Its topography resembles a gourd, so it was originally called Huluzhuang, but due to the rise of the Liujia, it was changed to Liujiazhuang, which should be the most famous in the surrounding Zhuangzi.
But strangely, there are not many households, only about 30 families, most of whom are locals who have lived here for generations.
It is worth mentioning that Liujiazhuang has a strange custom, every year when it comes to the Spring Festival, it will fall into the night.
Falling night refers to this period of time, when the people in the village rest during the day, and then come out to work and be busy at night when the lights are bright.
In the past, there were many people from other places who went to experience the experience out of curiosity, but then they didn't know what happened, and gradually no one cared.
Wang Xu and others are at the only entrance of the villa, the mouth of the gourd, which is located at a high potential, and the rest of the places out of the village are either mountains and forests or rivers, which can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Originally, they had heard that Liujiazhuang had a tradition of pouring down the night, but now all the houses in the village have their lights out, the doors are closed, and only a few high-level households still have some light.
The brightest place is the center of the village, which is bright and bright, and compared with the surrounding people, it is very distinct.
"I didn't expect the Wang family to really send someone here."
The rain steward knew in his heart that before they came, they had inquired about the recent situation and customs of Liujiazhuang in case of emergency.
If something happened in the village, it would never be like this, "Young Master Xu, it seems that your mansion has been prepared for a long time." β
"The rain steward is a fool."
Wang Xu smiled flatly.
He knew what the rain steward meant, if it wasn't for the fact that the Wang family had already prepared, how could he capture Liujiazhuang in such a short period of time in such a hurry and control the Liu family.
After all, the Liu family has been operating here for several generations, and it is not muddy, how could it be controlled so easily.
In fact, he himself didn't expect it, according to his expectations, at most he surrounded Liujiazhuang at the moment, but he didn't expect that Uncle Liu and his party seemed to have completely controlled the Liu family.
He muttered for a moment, "Rain steward, be careful, send a signal." β
"Okay."
The rain steward glanced at Chasei.
He looked at Wang Xu's calm expression next to him, not at all like a young man with a crown, but like a man of destiny who had experienced wind and rain.
"It's just like that, Wang family!"
Just when the rain steward sighed, Chaichi had already dismounted and released the signal, and re-mounted the horse, cautiously pulling the horsewhip.
Not long after the signal was released, I saw a few strong men riding horses from Zhuangli, and the leader was none other than Liu Yidao.
"Brother Xu! It's great that you're okay, when I heard the news that the old thief Liu was going out, I really didn't know how to explain to the master, so I could only hold the son of the old thief first, hoping to start working. β
Liu Yidao grabbed the horse rope and said happily: "No matter what, it's best if Brother Xu is fine, now that the entire Liu family is in our hands, their Liu family brothers can turn the sky upside down." β
Although he said this in his mouth, he sighed secretly, on the one hand, he was relieved that Wang Xu was safe and sound, and on the other hand, he felt a dark cloud suspended in his heart.
After all, since then, the Wang family has had a great enemy who may reach the level of everyone in the shadows, and it will be difficult for anyone to sleep.
