Chapter 27: Righteous Rescue

Shangguan Xiu glanced behind the three of them, interrupted each other's questioning, and said, "This is not the place to talk, you come with me!" As he spoke, he turned around and walked briskly towards the small alley not far away.

None of the three young men knew Shangguan Xiu, but they knew the badge in Shangguan Xiu's hand.

They glanced at each other, nodded in unison, and silently followed Shangguan Xiu into the alley.

Following behind Shangguan Xiu, the injured young man couldn't help but ask, "Are you...... Are you here to pick us up?"

Shangguan Xiu was almost amused by his question, he didn't even know what their names were, let alone what they did tonight, so how could he respond?

"No, I just happened to be passing by!" Shangguan Xiu said casually.

The three of them were about to continue to ask questions, and Shangguan Xiu let out a shush, signaling the three of them to silence, he had already heard the approach of the pursuers in the rear.

Shangguan Xiu took three young people to walk quickly through the alley, and it didn't take long to come to the door of his house, he opened the door, and the three hurriedly followed.

He led the three young men into his thatched hut and helped put the injured young man on the bed. Since the pursuers were outside, Shangguan Xiu didn't dare to light the lamp, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you hurt?"

"The back and right leg are ......," said the injured youth.

Shangguan Xiu bent down, followed the moonlight outside the window, and looked carefully.

There was a cut on his back, the wound was not big or deep, it was just a skin wound, and there was a stab wound to the calf of his right leg, which was deep.

Shangguan Xiu looked at it, took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, handed it to a young man casually, raised his head and said, "This is gold sore medicine, you help him put it on." ”

His bottle of gold sore medicine was given to him by Hua Butterfly for self-defense.

"We don't know your name yet!" the young man looked at him curiously as he took the medicine bottle.

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "My name is Shangguan Xiu, and I am a junior student of the Imperial Academy, what are your names?"

"My name is Rokuren. The young man pointed to his two companions and said, "His name is Cao Lei, and his name is Yuan Mu." ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded and asked, "Why did you just say that I was Song Sheng's lackey? Could it be that it was Song Sheng's people who hunted you down?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Luo Ren nodded in response: "That's right, it's Song Sheng's people!"

"You're talking about Song Sheng, but Song Sheng, the Minister of Internal History?"

Luo Ren said with a straight face: "It's him, Brother Shangguan, don't worry, if you are afraid of being implicated by us, we will leave now, and we will never bring disaster to you." ”

Hearing his words, Yuan Mu, who was lying on the bed, struggled to stand up.

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to the three of them and reminded: "If you go out now, it will be equivalent to sending you to death." ”

"But we're going to get your ...... down"

"Don't forget, I'm also a member of the rally, and if I was greedy for life and afraid of death, I wouldn't have gone to the rally. ”

Hearing him say this, the three of them looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shangguan Xiu asked again, "Why did Song Sheng's people chase and kill you?"

The three of them were silent, and after a while, Luo Ren still spoke: "Just now, we went to the Song Mansion to assassinate Song Sheng!"

"What?" Shangguan Xiu almost laughed when he heard this, the three of them actually ran to assassinate Song Sheng, this is not crazy, but their brains are in water!

Song Sheng is a member of Zhengyipin, they actually went to the Song Mansion to assassinate Song Sheng, what is it if it is not a brain in the water?

Yuan Mu gritted his teeth and said: "We have all been disappointed in the anti-aristocratic rally, in the rally, all the people only talk but do nothing, but what's the use of just talking, can you just rely on your mouth to say that those powerful people who oppress the common people to death? Ah Ren and Da Lei have long since stopped attending the rally, and I will not go to the rally again in the future, we have to do things with practical actions!"

If there weren't pursuers searching for the three of them outside, Shangguan Xiu really wanted to applaud the three of them now. Sarcastic applause.

He smiled and asked, "So did your operation succeed tonight?"

As soon as they heard this, the three of them were like deflated balls, they all wilted, and their heads drooped down.

Luo Ren said indignantly: "Song Sheng's dog thief has several extremely powerful masters of spiritual martial arts, we are not their opponents, we failed to kill Song Sheng, but were injured by the other party......" Speaking of this, he subconsciously looked at Yuan Mu lying on the bed.

Shangguan Xiu snorted and laughed, and said: "Actually, if you want to die, it's very simple, just pull out the sword under your side and wipe it across your neck, why do you have to go to the Song Mansion to send you to death?"

Hearing his ridicule, the faces of Luo Ren, Cao Lei, and Yuan Mu were red and white. Cao Lei said indignantly: "What right do you have to accuse us? We at least did something, but you didn't do anything. ”

"It's better to do nothing than to blindly send you to death!" Shangguan Xiu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Acting so hastily is a reckless act without brains, even if you die, it is worthless to die, and it is not a pity to die!"

Cao Lei was still unconvinced, but he had nothing to say.

Luo Ren asked, "Do you want us to do nothing, like the students of your academy, to go to the assembly that is just talking and not doing, and have a few mouths and then do something?"

Shangguan Xiu agrees with their sneers at the rally, but that doesn't mean he agrees with what they're doing now.

He rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, and said, "If you want to achieve great things, how can you succeed overnight? If you want to become a fat man in one bite, you will only support yourself to death first!"

Shangguan Xiu's words made Luo Ren, Cao Lei, and Yuan Mu fall into deep thought. While they were secretly pondering, all of a sudden, they heard the sound of slamming the door outside the courtyard gate, and at the same time, someone shouted: "Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly!"

Oops! The pursuers are searching! Luo Ren grabbed the hilt of the sword with his hand, and made a gesture to draw his sword outward, and at the same time said to Shangguan Xiu urgently: "You run over the wall from behind, we will fight with Song Sheng's eagle dogs!"

I felt that what I just said to them was in vain. Shangguan Xiu shook his head helplessly, took a step forward, patted Luo Ren's elbow, and pushed back the saber he had drawn out halfway.

Luo Ren stared at Shangguan Xiu in puzzlement.

"You shouldn't be called Luo Ren, you should be called 'Can't Bear'!" Shangguan Xiu asked quietly, "Do you think that with just the three of you, how many people can fight each other to kill?"

"If you don't fight hard, will it be difficult to be caught?" Luo Ren asked in a condensed voice.

Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled, and an idea flashed in his mind. They dare to work hard, they are not afraid of death, they are dissatisfied with the nobles, and they all have a body of spiritual martial arts, aren't they exactly the people they need!

He pondered for a moment and said, "I'll find a way to send the pursuers away." ”

"Can you send them away?" Luo Ren, Cao Lei, and Yuan Mu looked at him in disbelief.

Shangguan Xiu smiled confidently and said, "Otherwise, how about we make a bet?"

Knock, bang, bang! The slamming of the door outside was louder, as if it was about to be smashed. But Shangguan Xiu stood in the room as if nothing happened, and there was not even the slightest fear on his face.

"What are you betting on?" Luo Ren subconsciously looked out the window, swallowed his saliva, and looked at Shangguan Xiu suspiciously.

"If I can take them away, in the future, the three of you will listen to me, if I can't take them away, then it doesn't matter, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman, fight with the three of you, kill one of him is enough, kill him two to earn one!" Shangguan Xiu said with bright eyes.

"You're joking with us?"

"It's not a joke, it's a gamble, don't you dare?"

Luo Ren was stunned for a moment, then he sneered and said, "Why don't you dare?! If you can really take the pursuers away, you will have a life-saving grace for us, and in the future, I Luo Ren will recognize you as the boss and listen to you in everything!"

As he spoke, he turned his head, looked at Cao Lei and Yuan Mu, and asked, "What about the two of you?"

Cao Lei and Yuan Mu had no opinion, they didn't think that Shangguan Xiu had the ability to send the pursuers away, and the two muttered in a low voice: "If you really have that ability, we will obey you!"

"Okay!" Shangguan Xiu's eyes were even brighter, and he said, "A gentleman's word?"

"Hurry up and whip it!" Luo Ren said in unison.

"Remember our gentleman's agreement!" Shangguan Xiu said no more, and walked out of the thatched house.

He hurried to the courtyard gate, lowered the bolt, and before he could open the courtyard door, he heard a bang, and the door was kicked open from the outside. Standing outside the courtyard gate were more than a dozen officers and soldiers armed with torches and wearing leather armor.

Shangguan Xiu's face sank, he walked out of the courtyard gate, looked around at the officers and soldiers outside, and asked in a condensed voice, "What are you going to do?"

A strong man from thirty feet away strode up to him and said in a rough voice, "What are you doing? Search for the Assassins!

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pushed Shangguan Xiu hard.

Shangguan Xiu stood in place, his feet as if they had taken root, and he didn't move.

The strong man and soldier snorted in surprise, and couldn't help but push Shangguan Xiu again. As before, his figure still standing still did not move.

The officers and soldiers were secretly frightened, looked Shangguan Xiu up and down again, raised their eyebrows in annoyance, and shouted: "You fuck, I think you kid is like an assassin, arrest him for me......"
