Chapter 226: Stealth
Whether it is implicated or not, it is too early to say at this time, and according to Wei Shu's observation, this is by no means something that Lian'er can decide.
But Wei Shu still didn't say anything, only nodded slightly, and at the same time confirmed one thing in his heart:
No one will come to Caojianan.
In other words, the group of widows must have abandoned this stronghold, otherwise Lian'er would not have dared to leave the corpses of her colleagues here.
The identity of the Gui Mao may also become an eternal secret.
Misfortune leads to the east, and the plan is a good plan, but Wei Shu always has an indescribable awkwardness, as if a painting is unfolding in front of her eyes, but the most critical people and objects in the painting are covered by a light veil.
The fireworks at the night market have gone off at some point.
Wei Shu pushed open the corner door of the backyard of Cao's South Goods and glanced out.
Outside the door is a wide alley, because it is adjacent to the Zhouqiao Night Market, the alley is also quite lively, sometimes there are pedestrians and cars and horses, and the two of her appear in the alley, and it does not seem abrupt.
Soon after walking out of the wide alley, Lian'er led Wei Shu onto the Longjin Bridge, and the night market in front of her was in sight, and the bright lights were like a river.
"Let's ...... Ahem, let's get out of the night market. Lian'er seemed to be a little chilly, her hands and feet were cold, and she coughed a few times from time to time.
Lian'er's wound has been simply bandaged, and the bleeding has stopped, but it is still a little inconvenient to move, and she still needs Wei Shu's support.
Just looking at her wounds, it is not serious, but the medicine in the Hidden Sword Villa is never simple, even if the person wakes up, the medicinal properties have not been exhausted, because her breath is weak at this time, walking in this cool autumn night, she can't help but be cold.
The Longjin Bridge is still lively, Lian'er is dressed as a dusty woman, snuggling up to the side of Wei Shu in men's clothes, looking like a prodigal traveling with a trick, and there is no one who even takes a look on the road.
Wei Shu also let go of her hands and feet, half-wrapped the crane on her body, and walked forward with Lian'er in one hand.
After getting off the bridge and going up to Lixu Road, the lights have faded, and the hustle and bustle of the night market behind him is heard from afar, and it is not very real.
The two of them never spoke along the way, only Lian'er's occasional cough sounded.
After walking for about a moment, there is a wide four-way intersection in front of the road, because it is close to the junction of the inner and outer cities, there are many cars and horses, and the surrounding buildings are dense, but it is drawn out by this intersection, one side is a continuous house, the other side is a large shantytown, and the grass roof has been spreading to the Bianhe River.
When you get here, the lights are sparse than before, and there are very few pedestrians, and the prosperity and hustle and bustle of Bianjing City seem to have nothing to do with here.
Lian'er suddenly pulled Wei Shu's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Sister, someone is watching." ”
"Yes." Wei Shu said in a deep voice.
In fact, from the moment they turned onto the Longjin Bridge, there were always a few faint breaths wrapped around their bodies and behind them, and the reason why Wei Shu kept carrying Lian'er was also ready to escape at any time.
However, Lian'er seems to have other plans, and as for the deep meaning, Wei Shu still can't figure it out at the moment.
Lian'er also seemed to have guessed that Wei Shu noticed that someone was watching, coughed twice, and asked, "Sister, do you know how many people there are?" ”
"The three in the back, the two in front of the two went around to the east side of the intersection." Wei Shu's ears moved slightly, carefully distinguishing his breath, and said, "The nearest one is on the roof in the northwest." ”
By the time she said this, her free hand had been pressed to her waist.
The hilt of the soft sword was cool, and it reached the palm of his hand, and the skin was covered with a pinprick chill, and the bottom of his heart was also awe-inspiring.
This is the perception that there is a master watching. What's strange is that the five people who are staring at each other have vague steps and a flat breath, and they don't match the master at all.
"Go there." Lian'er said quickly and in a low voice.
Although she couldn't use her feet, she still tried her best to guide Wei Shu to the long continuous eaves on her side, and at the same time reminded softly: "They have guns." ”
Blunderbuss?
Wei Shu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood where the chilling feeling came from.
These people actually have muskets?!
At that moment, the scene of Wu Guo forcing back his pursuers with a musket in White Frost City seemed to reappear in front of him.
The musket is a first-class weapon, stronger than any other soldier in the world, and the most powerful thing about it is that the user does not need to practice martial arts.
Even if it is a child with a horn, he can kill people with this thing.
Thinking of this, Wei Shu had already understood Lian'er's intentions, and she didn't need to say any more, she took a sharp breath of true qi and carried her forward sharply, and in the blink of an eye, she had already passed through the rows of eaves.
At this time, the two breaths that went around the front were rapidly approaching, but the most dangerous breath on the roof was left behind by Wei Shu, and the unobstructed intersection in front of him was also close in front of him.
"Turn left." Lian'er pointed out the direction with a word, and immediately took out an oiled paper bag from her sleeve, and asked urgently, "Where are the two people in front?" ”
Wei Shu's feet slowed slightly, but the speed of his speech was urgent: "The north intersection." ”
The two of them were far inferior to her, and they should have wanted to form an encirclement with the three people behind, but now they were rushed out by Wei Shu, and the position of the two people at this time was no longer directly ahead, but on Wei Shu's right side, at the north end of the four-way intersection.
At this time, there was a carriage galloping in front of him, and I don't know which powerful family was traveling, and the coachman who drove the carriage was in a brocade hat and silver robe, and his clothes were luxurious, showing that he was a slave.
Lian'er immediately threw the object in her hand into the road, and whispered at the same time: "Hurry up!" ”
With this sound, a ball of fire suddenly exploded in front of the carriage, and even with a "bang" sound, it seemed that firecrackers exploded on the street.
The horseman was frightened, and immediately raised his hooves and neighed loudly, and the driver was frightened, and hurriedly pulled the reins, and tried to control the horse.
But the horses instinctively wanted to avoid the bright fire, and they raised their hooves and surged to the side, and the carriage fell crookedly, and the screams of women were heard in the carriage, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
Wei Shu pulled Lian'er and hurried, while sweeping sideways, she saw that the direction of the carriage was facing the two people who were outflanking, and the front lantern shook endlessly, reflecting two faces with high noses and deep eyes, yellow hair and beard.
Not a widow!
With a glance, the lantern was extinguished, and the two figures disappeared in the night.
At this moment, Lian'er also turned her head, but all she saw was a dark intersection.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Wei Shu, but saw that the latter's face was solemn, her eyes were staring ahead, and she noticed the sight she was looking at, so she whispered: "Got rid of two, and there are three more." ”
These words loosened Lian'er's tense heartstrings a little more, and she hurriedly said, "It's coming." Come on. ”
Hearing the eagerness in her words, Wei Shu didn't say a word, grabbed Lian'er and swept forward, and after three or five ups and downs, it had reached the end of the street from the street, and another three-way intersection appeared.
"Go straight." Lian'er said loudly, looking back.
The night is dark, the moonlight is thin, and the scenery near and far is faint and difficult to distinguish, just like her mood at the moment.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered a night a long time ago, and remembered that someone had listened to her in the night.
She stopped all of a sudden.
Sorry for not updating yesterday.
