114. Trap in the forest

There was a commotion in the corridor, first of all, two men on duty entered the next room, and found that the people in the room were dead, and couldn't help crying, but they didn't dare to make a loud noise, and one of them ran out of the door to report the news while crying. Then Gu Shujie and the others all arrived. Gu Shujie immediately ordered all personnel to investigate. They knocked on Yingzi's room, and Yingzi got up pretending to be in a daze. Yingzi saw Yuan Qingmou, who was sleeping in the same room as Gu Shujie. He was a little surprised: "What, dead people?" Yingzi squeezed his hand and told him to speak less.

Gu Shujie sent a few people to the backyard, and found traces of the perpetrator on the tree in the backyard. The footprints show that it was the hand of a man with a strong physique.

Gu Shujie judged that the man should hide in a tree and shoot poisoned arrows into the room. And on the bodies of the two deceased, poisoned arrows were really found. It was a very thin arrow, and the arrow was soaked in poison. As soon as the arrow hit the two deceased, they only had a chance to scream, which was an impromptu reaction of pain, and then they fell unconscious.

Gu Shujie asked: "Last night, did you find a special situation?" ”

No one found out.

Gu Shujie looked at Yingzi and Yuan Qingmou with his eyes, but he didn't speak, obviously thinking that these two people would not know the situation of Lu Dao. Gu Shujie believes that it must have been done by someone who hated Wu Guo. However, they came to Zhongli City secretly, and it was Gu Shujie's own secret contact with the eyeliner in the city, so they shouldn't be discovered! The most important thing is that this person has such a clear grasp of their situation, knows the specific location of everyone in the Dao, and fires poisoned arrows very accurately, which is a bit unbelievable.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the guys in the store?

But if you move the guys, it will affect the guards of Zhongli City. Zhongli City was under the control of the Chu State, and the people of the Wu State could not act rashly.

Gu Shujie could only secretly carry the two corpses out of the back window at night and run to a forest in the east of the city. buried, but did not dare to erect a monument, so he could only make a mark on the ground.

He asked Yuan Qingmou and Yingzi to follow. Yingzi judged that he was afraid that Yingzi and Yuan Qingmou would take the opportunity to escape. After burying the people, in the dark woods, Gu Shujie asked Yingzi and Yuan Qingmou to stand at the edge of the woods. He was in the woods and addressed the rest: "Brothers, we are here for the great cause of the kingdom of Wu. What are we going to be away from home, away from our loved ones? It is the revitalization and development of Wu. We all came with the determination to die, and no one wants to regret it, right? ”

"Nope!" The rest of the people answered together, and they were all categorical.

"Alright! We need to turn our grief into strength and accomplish our mission. ”

"But by the judgment of the Lord!"

The group returned to the hotel, still climbing through the back window.

Yingzi was so angry that she choked. I thought to myself, when you are attacked, it is clear that you want to invade other countries; People will attack you and take revenge on you, as you should! Yuan Qingmou and I are both innocent people, why are you putting us under house arrest? This is actually a kidnapping, and we can't spare you!

Yingzi was even more angry in her heart. Now it is clear that their men were killed. They must have thought that no one would attack them again, so they slept peacefully. I, Yingzi, just plugged in your gap. One more heavy blow to you. Let you remember what will happen if you invade other people's countries and restrict their freedom!

In her room, Yingzi took out all the things that were going to be done again. She still carried a small bamboo pipe, poison and two small stone pills. She threw the rope out again through the crack in the window. She then went to fake sleep. Lie in bed and listen to the movement around you.

But the sleepiness gradually hit her, and she couldn't help but want to sleep, and had to hold on stoically, which made her yawn. It's been a long time. She felt that there was no sound outside the four sides, and it was time to act. She gently lifted her head from the bed and looked out the window. She froze suddenly, and once again saw a figure in the trees outside. The figure lay there almost motionless, cold and unclear.

Could it be that the assailant is back? The attacker had the same train of thought as her?

Yingzi lay down again. Fearing that the assailant would shoot an arrow at her, she moved her body gently into a corner, so that only her eyes could see the dark shadow by the window.

The shadow moved again, shooting arrows into the room on the other side of her. Yingzi Zhilu said, there were two of Gu Shujie's subordinates sleeping in that room. She heard the sound of arrows firing into flight, and though it was very slight, she could hear it very clearly because she was paying extra attention. In the next room, two screams rang out one after another, and then there was no sound. The figure in the tree outside the window quickly jumped from the tree and disappeared.

Yingzi was strange, this man seemed to know everything, and he could definitely see the rope hanging down and guess what he was going to do. He didn't expose himself for anything, didn't wait for himself to act, did he mean to protect me?

Yingzi shook her head immediately, but there can be no fluke mentality! The things in this world are not to be left to chance, and not to be self-righteous. Think more of sinister, conspiracy.

A voice sounded in the corridor outside, it turned out to be Gu Shujie! His reaction was really quick enough, and he was the first to run to the next room, and then he called people from room to room, and also entered Yingzi's room. Of course, Yingzi pretended to have just woken up and came out with him.

Both of his men died. It's still that kind of poisoned arrow, or a single arrow hit. Gu Shujie sent people out to search, but found nothing. The two dead men were still carried out of the back window and carried to the open space in the city, where they were buried beside the first two deceased. This time, Gu Shujie cried, knelt in front of the grave, and blamed himself, saying that he was stupid, and he didn't expect the enemy to be so cunning that he would attack a second time.

He got up, and in the darkness, looked at the six men standing upright.

"Are you afraid?"

"We're not afraid! Master Gu, if we can die for the country, we will die without regrets. ”

"Good! When we return home, we will have a funeral for these four brothers! Now, I ask you to remember your mission, go back and rest well, and get ready for greater challenges! ”

returned to the hotel and continued to sleep, everyone was also asleep, so they all fell asleep, and Yingzi was no exception. I slept until the afternoon, got up, ate my meal, left Zhongli City, which had lost four lives, and set out forward.

But after less than two hours on the road, in the midst of a wood, a group of men and horses, about twenty or thirty men, all armed with weapons, appeared on the road ahead. Gu Shujie drew everyone's attention. When they were more than five zhang away, the Biao man in front of him spoke: "Gu Shujie, you have walked in the territory of our Chu country for so long, you should report your name, right?" ”

Gu Shujie waved his hand, and everyone stopped. Yingzi looked at the gang carefully, they were indeed all from the Chu State, wearing the military uniforms of the Chu State, and all of them were big men. Could it be that they were the ones who shot the arrow twice last night?

Gu Shujie said: "You seem to know our details very well. Four of my companions were also killed by you, right? Although there are occasional small battles between our Wu and Chu countries, they are not so despicable and attack from behind, right? ”

The man behind Gu Shujie shouted loudly: "Big brother, don't talk nonsense with him!" Rush forward, kill hard, and avenge the death of our four brothers! ”

Gu Shujie waved his hand to stop the blind movement of his subordinates.

The other party was a little strange: "You mean, last night, you were killed, four people?" ”

Gu Shujie said cautiously: "Didn't you do it? ”

The other party said: "We really want to kill you!" Wu is a spy, and everyone is punished. But what happened last night was really not our doing. We have just received a report that a spy from the State of Wu has infiltrated our country, and the leader is named Gu Shujie. We've heard your name for a long time. But our Chu State is a big country, so we won't do that kind of indiscriminate assassination behind the scenes, right? Our garrison is at the foot of the hill on the north side of here, so we have hurried here to intercept you. ”

"It's really not you?"

"Not really. But we can do it for real. Gu Shujie, I know that you came to Zhongli City specially, there must be something involved, and it is likely to connect with the dark line there. But we are soldiers, and we don't want to ask more, just look at the sword. Come on! ”

The other party urged the war horse and rushed straight over. Gu Shujie turned his head and shouted at Yingzi: "You take Tian Mao with you, leave some!" Yingzi hurriedly urged the horse over, pushed Yuan Qingmou, and went to the side. But she was surprised to find that Yuan Qingmou was attracted by the momentum of the charge, and grinned widely. Yingzi knew that the kind of heroism and fierceness in his heart was still playing a role.

Yingzi pulled him aside, and suddenly thought that he should take the opportunity to escape. She shouted to Yuan Qingmou: "Go, go!" But Yuan Qingmou didn't move anymore, his eyes widened in surprise, watching them fight. Yingzi leaned over and pulled his ears hard, but he cleverly dodged it. The two horses were entangled and turned around, but Yuan Qingmou just refused to leave.

And right now, the situation of the battle has changed. Twenty or thirty Chu troops couldn't deal with the remaining seven people of Gu Shujie. Gu Shujie and the others fought bravely, and they actually killed more than 20 people, and they were only slightly injured. They became more and more courageous, and gradually forced the few remaining Chu troops to an empty field in the woods. Yingzi was also attracted by this bloody battle, and couldn't help but get to know Gu Shujie and them again.

"Rush, rush!" Yuan Qingmou let out a cheerful shout and urged the horse to rush forward. Yingzi's horse was driven by him, and he also ran along. Yingzi shouted wildly: "Don't go, don't go!" But she couldn't stop her horse, because she was riding a war horse. In the midst of this kind of struggle on the battlefield, the horse was also excited. Two horses, one in front of the other, rushed into the battle formation.

Suddenly, there was a dull sound, what seemed to be the sound of wood breaking or something. A puff of smoke rose, and Gu Shujie and his six men, along with several Chu troops, fell into a big trap together. Yuan Qingmou and Yingzi also rushed in for a while because the horses were running too fast. The smoke wafted and was very thick and thick, covering all the men and horses. (To be continued......)
