Chapter 14: The Cigarette Capture

At this time, Shui Mai and Chi Le arrived. Although the two of them were masked, with their eyes and body shape, Chu Tiankuo could still recognize them at a glance.

Chi Le and Shui Pulse kill the masked man.

Chu Tiankuo felt guilty and said, I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. Just as he was distracted, a Hidden Arrow was fired at him.

The water veins were sharp-eyed, and an arrow rushed over, blocking Chu Tiankuo. The water vein was wounded for him, and in a hurry, he hit the masked men hard, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he put down a large area.

He took a Bailu Pill for Shui Mai, and hurried to Lingcui Pavilion with her in his arms. Chi Le stayed after the break, and beat and retreated.

Seeing Chu Tiankuo coming back with Sister Shuimai, Yanxiang was happy and annoyed. Then, when she learned that Sister Shuimai was injured, it was a sleeve arrow blocked for the elder brother, and for a while, she was full of gratitude. Seeing that Chu Tiankuo was busy healing Sister Shuimai every day, and she was inseparable, she almost forgot about her existence. She was jealous and irritable. She said goodbye without saying goodbye, and returned to Bixiang Villa alone in chagrin.

Bixiang Villa has long been monitored by Xiangye. On the night of Yanxiang's return to Bixiang Villa, a few masked people came. Several masked men pestered the butler, and one of them knocked the cigarette unconscious and put it in a sack.

The masked man was about to leave with his cigarette on his shoulder, when suddenly several officers and soldiers rushed in from outside. The officers and soldiers cooperated with the butler and fought with the masked man. The two groups were evenly matched.

It turned out that in addition to the people who watched Bixiang Villa, there were also people from the yamen. Those officers and soldiers were Dongfang Hong's subordinates. The prefect once mentioned to Dongfang Hong that Chu Tiankuo was the key to solving the murder case of the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Not only to protect his safety, but also to arrest him. As long as the trial is held, it will be revealed.

In the chaos of the fight, the masked man raised the sword in his hand and made a stabbing motion at the sack, threatening viciously, "Stop, or I will kill the girl in the sack." ”

The stewards and officers and men immediately stopped and took a step back. Several masked men looked at each other and nodded, threw a letter to the butler, and left with cigarettes.

When the officers and soldiers left, the butler sneaked out of the door, walking hurriedly, holding the letter in his arms, his palms were already full of sweat, sticky and damp, and he looked back from time to time while walking on the road, for fear of being followed.

The butler hurried to Lingcui Pavilion, couldn't wait for the report of the next person, and ran in in a panic. He saw Chu Tiankuo in the lobby, and Chi Le and Shui Mai were also there. The housekeeper didn't care about saluting, and said hoarsely to Chu Tiankuo: "Young Zhuang Master, the cigarette girl was kidnapped by a few masked people. It's all because she worked too badly and couldn't protect her. The housekeeper took out the letter in his arms, handed it to Chu Tiankuo and continued: "The other party left this letter. ”

Shui Wei and Chi Le's faces showed panic.

As soon as Chu Tiankuo heard that the cigarette was captured, his face was solemn, his brows were twisted, he reached out to take the letter, and opened it impatiently. Chi Le also came over to take a look.

"Chu Tiankuo, the prince of the fan:

Your sister's cigarette has fallen into my hands. If you want your junior sister to live well, exchange your life for your junior sister's life. I will limit you to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion within one day. Otherwise, it would be a pity if your junior sister was such a flower-like little beauty. ”

Chu Tiankuo was calm on the surface, but Shui Wei saw that his hand holding the letter was trembling.

"Bastard, take away the cigarette and force you to comply. I can't deal with you, so I use this kind of indiscriminate means, I'm sorry. Chi Le was so angry that he puffed up his cheeks, and his two thick eyebrows twisted into a big pimple. His face was like a cloudy sky, gray and dark.

After reading it, Chu Tiankuo crumpled the letter in his hand, clenched his fists, his body tensed, and a cold air emanated from his body. I've never seen him so disfigured. He has always been gentle and temperamental. A trance appeared on his face that had never been calm, but after a while, his face returned to gentleness, but his eyebrows were tightly locked.

The butler couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

After being silent for a while, Chu Tiankuo took out a bunch of silver tickets from his arms and gave them to the housekeeper, and instructed the housekeeper: "Bixiang Villa is not safe now. Let's dismiss everyone. You have divided the silver tickets. ”

The housekeeper took the silver ticket, his eyes moistened, and said, "I swear to follow the young owner to the death." ”

Chu Tiankuo's heart was in turmoil, but his voice was surprisingly calm: "You shouldn't follow me now." You find a place to avoid first, and when I take care of all this, you can go back to Bixiang Villa. ”

After Chu Tiankuo sent the housekeeper away, he hurried out. Chi Le blocked the door and stretched out his hands to block his way, "They grabbed the cigarette and wanted you to go and send you to death, if you go, wouldn't you be caught in the net?" ”

"She's my little sister, I can't leave her alone. Anyway, I have to go. Chu Tiankuo said worriedly.

Shui Mai's face was as pale as tofu, but his brain was extremely calm: "The Prime Minister's Mansion is so big, who knows where they keep Sister Yanxiang?" ”

"Xiangye's goal is me. I would trade my life for the life of cigarettes. Chu Tiankuo stood firm.

Chi Le understands that Chu Tiankuo has always been stubborn. Seeing that he couldn't stop persuading him, he silently got out of the way.

Watching Chu Tiankuo leave, Shui Mai's heart was twisted, her injuries were not all healed, she was already weak, and there was no trace of blood on her face at this time. She turned her face to Chi Le and said, "Senior brother, don't worry about me." You go and help him. ”

"Your injuries are not healed, I have to stay and heal you." Chi Le was worried and helpless, looking at the water vein's face like ashes, he soothed: "The young man of the fan is not an idler. He was sure if he dared to go. Don't worry about him. Take care of yourself first. ”

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Smoke was kept in a secret room. When she awoke, she looked at the strange surroundings, and the dark room was empty except for a table. A candle was lit on the table, and a soft light soaked her vision, but she still couldn't suppress the fear in her heart, and closed her eyes and shouted. No matter how much she screamed and her throat was cut, no one would pay attention to her.

After a while, she gradually calmed down. Only then did she feel soreness all over her body, and her face was also hot and painful, and when she reached out and touched it, her face was swollen. She slowly remembered that she had been taken in a sack. These people really deserve to die, and they don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. Knocked her all over the place.

Just as her heart was fluctuating, the door of the chamber was opened, and the candle flame flickered. Smoke saw two people coming in. A man dressed in a scarlet official uniform, with a well-proportioned body, full of the nobility and bearing of a big official, his expression could not be seen clearly by the dim candlelight, but it made people feel a sharp sense of oppression. The other was tall and burly, masked.

The two of them slowly approached Yanxiang, their eyes widened, and they looked at Yanxiang, only to see that this girl was unkempt, with a blue nose and swollen face, how could she be as beautiful as the person below described, and immediately frowned dishappily, didn't say anything, and turned around to leave.

When he turned around, Yanxiang said unknowingly: "Hey, who are you?" is so bold that he dares to arrest me, and tell you that my senior brother is a fan boy! ”
