Chapter 754: Insomnia
"Hong Tao, you take thirty people to follow to protect the prince, if there is an accident, come and see you! Zhang Yang, you immediately go with the people from the Military Discipline Department to find the officers and soldiers stationed there, and the rest of the people follow me to the Yamen" Looking at the backs of Lu Wang's people, Ruan Dechen gave a quick and brief order.
On a stormy night, Lu Wang did not go far, so he naturally did not look for the inn that Jiang Ying had set for him, but found a nearby inn under the strict protection of the heavily armed guards and dozens of special service personnel.
Because of the previous gunshots and killings, the doors of the nearby inns were closed, and this three-story inn was also one of them, but it was opened to welcome guests under the threat of being set on fire immediately if it was not opened by the lynx.
Before the frightened store opened, they naturally didn't know that they were greeting the God King, and they didn't know that they were welcoming the God of Wealth, until many years later, the owner of the store was still bragging about it when he was very sorry, if he knew that it was the God King, he would have dripped.
Five silver ingots, a total of fifty taels, smashed on the counter: "The third floor is empty, can you do it?" ”
"I can do it" The shopkeeper's promise was extremely refreshing, not to mention the fifty taels of silver, it was the dozen or so people who poured in under this black pressure, so he didn't dare to say no!
In fact, there are no guests on the third floor at all, although Yucheng is small, but there are many inns, because he is the only way to go north on the official road in Jinan, but generally the third floor is the upper room, and the people who go out are almost rarely living in the upper room except for large families.
Twenty people are arranged outside the inn, three archers are arranged on the roof of the guest room, Hong Tao, you take the rest of the people to guard the staircase on the third floor, if anyone goes upstairs at will, the lynx begins to arrange defense, and Lu Wang has already taken the three wounded Lion Tiger upstairs to rest as if nothing happened.
At night, as the rain grew deeper and heavier, Lu Wang, after pouring two bottles of red wine, chose the middle of the five upper rooms on the third floor and fell asleep. Three wounded Liger slept in his room on the floor!
On the third floor, by the window, the lynx and Daguo looked out with a cigarette in their mouths, listening to all kinds of noise in the distance, and frowned: "Yucheng will not be at peace tonight!"
"It is necessary, if you dare to make the prince not at peace, they don't want to be peaceful", Daguo snorted.
"I'm talking about the people, they didn't make the prince uneasy," the lynx sighed slightly. Daguo glanced at him: "Woman's benevolence, Brother Cat, do you think those killers will come tonight?" ”
"Maybe," the lynx snuffed out the cigarette butt, "the other party is in the dark, we are in the light, the ghost knows if they are watching or not, and besides, after being sniped just now, Ruan Dejian's people searched all over and did not find a single body, which means that the people have withdrawn safely, as for whether they will make a comeback, no one knows!" ”
"It doesn't matter if you know it or not, as long as there is a kill close to the inn." Daguo sneered, took a gun and aimed it around the window, and from time to time he changed binoculars to scan around.
"I heard that the murder of your secret service is a good hand, and you don't know if you kill others. I didn't expect that killing my own people is indeed a good means! The bobcat couldn't help but look at Hong Tao at the staircase and said.
"Brother Bobcat, I respect you for your loyalty to the prince, I don't hear this kind of hurt and angry words!" Hong Tao glanced up at the lynx and said coldly.
"What? Did you poke your sore spot" The lynx pouted, "I really don't know what the prince is doing raising you white-eyed wolves!" ”
"Enough!" Hong Tao let out a low cry, and the steel knife in his hand was clenched tightly. Breathing also began to be rapid, and the young man was holding his breath.
"Why, you want to kill me. You still want to practice with me, I heard that you are all good hands, I want to try it......" Lynx sneered.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense, and you won't let me sleep!" At this time, Lu Wang's voice came from the room, and the frightened lynx stuck out his tongue, turned around and walked to the window to smoke with Daguo, and Hong Tao immediately exhaled and glared coldly at the bobcat.
Lou Wang couldn't sleep, because he was worried, if he was not worried at all, he could fall asleep at any time, but now it is still difficult to fall asleep after drinking a few bottles of red wine, because he is worried that he will be accidentally killed, after all, now he can't hide in the ring, he can't cross, tonight is the first sleepless night after his crossing.
After a long absence of more than half a year, the first rain in northern Shandong is very gratifying, although it is not big, but the durability is very good, from last night to the present daylight still has not stopped.
People in this year get up relatively early, no matter how windy or rainy, but the people of Yucheng just got up not long ago and felt that the atmosphere was not right today, the streets and alleys were full of officers and soldiers patrolling, and warned them not to go out at will.
And those who got up early to see that the rain was not strong and wanted to brave the rain to get out of the city were even more dumbfounded, several city gates were closed, heavily guarded, if you want to go out of the city, you must go through a strict check, in addition to the road guide, you also need witnesses to prove where you came from, where you came to Yucheng, where you were last night.
Even even the most stupid person knows that something happened in the city, and with the noise and killing sound from time to time last night, the people have speculated that this incident is not small.
Of course, the center of the discussion is still the ordinary three-story inn in the west of the city, from early in the morning, someone found that there were hundreds of officers and soldiers and black-clothed people patrolling outside this inn in the rain, and then the other guests in the inn also began to leave, although they did not see the officers and soldiers driving away, but who dared to live in this battle.
The proprietor of the inn rushed to hear the news, muttering something to the shopkeeper at the counter, and his expression was also stable, after all, the big man gave fifty taels of silver last night, which was enough to charter his inn for several days, and he had no loss, and seeing that these officers and soldiers were marching in an orderly manner, they did not harass them for no reason, and thought with their toes that there must be an adult living on it.
However, the stability of the shopkeeper and the proprietor was soon broken, and was broken by another group of black-clothed people, and at about seven o'clock in the morning, suddenly a group of people hurriedly entered the store, and brought a lot of hoodoo.
Insomnia is not the same as sleeplessness, Lou Wan still fell asleep in the early hours of the morning, plus it was really solid to sleep on a rainy day, not surprisingly he slept until more than nine o'clock, after a simple wash, after listening to the report of the lynx, he went downstairs.
Ruan Dechen's eyes were bloodshot, his face was full of exhaustion, and more importantly, he had a few scars on his body, covered in blood, and his coat was wet by the rain and looked extremely embarrassed.
Hearing the movement of someone going downstairs, he immediately got up and left the brazier prepared for them by the shopkeeper, and stood at the top of the stairs with a few henchmen to wait, and Lu Wan was really going downstairs slowly.
"My subordinates have seen the prince," Ruan Dechen punched heavily.
Lu Wang glanced at him expressionlessly, and then looked at the six or seven corpses placed in the lobby on the first floor, and frowned, "Why are you doing this, are the inns still in business?" ”
"Lord Wang, those corpses were found by Jiang Ying and his subordinates," Ruan Dechen hurriedly said.
"Oh, Jiang Ying, I really didn't guess wrong!" Lu Wang sighed deeply, "You made a fuss all night, but what did you gain?" ”
"Forty-seven Xiaoxiao were slaughtered, and none of them were alive, and the subordinates must be related to the assassination of the prince......
"How can you be sure that there is no living mouth, and why don't you leave a living mouth?" Lu Wan raised his eyebrows, slowly walked down the stairs, came to Ruan Dechen's side, reached out to check the wound on his body, and then motioned for him to sit down on the chair next to him.
"It's not that the subordinates don't leave a living mouth, it's that they themselves don't leave a living mouth, and because of this, the subordinates conclude that they have something to do with this matter!" Ruan Dechen sat obediently in the chair as he spoke, watching Lu Wang take out the medical kit and start to re-bandage him, and suddenly felt that his blood and sweat last night were worth it, and even his eyes began to get wet.
"Thoughtful, well-planned, tight-biting, disciplined, there is such a black hand, soft bird, if you don't cut off this black hand for a day, I won't be able to sleep well in a day" Lu Wang said lightly while helping Ruan Dezhen bandage his wounds.
"Despicable duty is to go to heaven and earth to chop off this hand for the prince", Ruan Dechen gritted his teeth, he was really iron-hearted, because he himself was responsible, because Shandong was his territory.
"The city gate should be strictly checked, I will leave Yucheng in the afternoon, and I will open the city gate half an hour after I leave." Lu Wang said lightly.
"Does the prince want to fish?" Ruan Dechen seemed to understand something for a moment, and asked in a low voice close to Lu Wang's ear.
Rwan smiled slightly, didn't speak, but reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Lord Wang, the magistrate of Yucheng and the guards are asking to see you outside", at this moment, Daguo walked in from outside and whispered.
"No, let him go back to his own house and perform his own duties" Lu Wang said lightly and walked to the counter, looking at the panicked few people inside and smiled slightly, "Those who open shops are more taboo, and I can't help it today, this bit of silver should not be compensated", and threw down fifty taels of silver.
"You, you, you're the king of Germany?" The proprietor at the counter asked boldly, he vaguely heard the conversation between Lu Wang and Ruan Dechen, especially the title of the prince, thinking that the prince who could run around on the boundary of Shandong was also the king of De.
Lu Wang was obviously stunned by his question, and then smiled: "I'm much more handsome than him!" After speaking, he turned around and went upstairs, "Get me a few side dishes, call a singer to come over, Ruan Dechen come over, I will invite you to have a few drinks, and the lynx will reward the brother on duty last night, twenty taels of silver per person!" declare Jiang Ying's death in the line of duty, a generous funeral, and double the bereavement pension! "To be rich is to be so capricious.
Spring rain is as expensive as oil, not to mention that this oil keeps falling, it is as expensive as gold. At noon, the officers and soldiers at the north gate of Yucheng suddenly began to isolate those who wanted to go out of the city, at the same time, two off-road vehicles came at a gallop, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate immediately opened the city gate, and the two cars drove away and disappeared into the rain.
