Chapter 230: Before leaving, I confessed

The sun rose high, the birds in the woods were crying happily, and the 28 Guizhou soldiers saw that two of them had died, and they fell next to their feet, blood flowing, and any one dared to speak, but he did not dare to close his eyes, lest he would make the people unhappy and lose his life with a knife.

They sat on the floor in the house and waited for someone to come and save them.

At this moment, I saw a person on the mountain road in the distance, and a person came in a hurry.

He walked to the table and looked at the silence in the temple, he nodded with satisfaction, and walked into the temple.

When Li Xing and the others saw someone coming, they all hid behind the door, and it seemed that they had some action.

This man is in his fifties, with a sparse beard, a chubby yellow face, and a thief's eyebrows, but he is also shrewd.

He stood in the temple, looking around, there was no figure, and it was very quiet. He couldn't help muttering:

"These wild men, I poured too much cat urine last night, and I haven't gotten up until now."

After he entered the temple, he checked one by one, and the door was not closed, and when he looked, there was no one on the bed. I can't help but say:

"Strange, what about people?"

He spun around, didn't see anyone, and seemed a little impatient.

When he went to another courtyard, and saw that the door of the courtyard was open, he went in, and when he saw a room, he stretched out his neck and looked in, and exclaimed:

"Zhangtou, where are you?"

The temple was as silent as death, and no one answered him.

He craned his neck to look inside the door, and immediately saw more than 20 officers and soldiers sitting in the room, and he couldn't help but say angrily:

"Okay, you, Xiangye handed over important things to you for safekeeping, I don't want you to drink all day long, get drunk like this, lie here and don't move, if Xiangye knows, he won't peel your skin."

He walked in angrily, and suddenly saw that these soldiers were tied up one by one, and could not help but be frightened, and hurriedly ran forward, and was about to open his mouth, when a man flashed out of the door, and stretched out his hand to grab him.

This person is Li Xing.

The man was caught, couldn't break free, was grabbed by Li Xing, and thrown into the house.

The man fell to the ground, looked at the comer, vaguely recognized it, and said involuntarily:

"You ......"

"That's right," Li Xing said: "It's me, a few days ago, I went to look for your father-in-law." ”

That person was Ma Shiying's butler, and he immediately calmed down and said, "Good man, if you have anything, you can tell it, and we will discuss it again." ”

Li Xing asked, "What did you come here early in the morning?" Tell me the truth, or that's what will happen to you. ”

There were still two dead men lying on the ground, and he had to tell the truth:

"I'll tell the truth, I'll tell the truth, anything is negotiable."

"Say."

He said: "Now the northern army has broken through the Huai River defense line, divided into two large soldiers, and rushed straight towards Nanjing. My grandfather knows that it is unstoppable, and Nanjing will be finished sooner or later. ”

Yang Shucheng cared about the emperor and couldn't help asking, "Does the emperor know about this?" ”

The housekeeper is a figure that Ma Shiying usually relies on, and he also knows some things, he said:

"It's just the emperor who hides it."

"What are you doing here?"

The housekeeper said: "Xiangye knows that Nanjing is about to be unable to be saved, so he called me to come and let the hometown soldiers enter the city to protect Xiangye." ”

Li Xing pointed his sword at his throat and said, "Don't you tell the truth." You look at the two people lying on the ground. Let's figure it out. If you play a slippery head and a sword results in you, you think we are all people who do great things, and we usually kill people like hemp, where will we kill one more person. ”

The butler glanced at it, and immediately moved away, of course he was afraid of death, and nodded again and again:

"Yes, yes, I'll tell you the truth, Xiangye asked the hometown soldiers to take things and go first."

Li Xing smiled: "You are not stupid, tell the truth, otherwise you would have died." ”

"Yes, yes......"

Li Xingdao: "My origin, your family also knows, you go back and tell him that the things are all the people's fat and people's ointment that he usually looted, and we robbed it, and now we have walked dozens of miles away." If he wants to chase it back, it is impossible. Let him die of this heart. ”

"Yes, yes, the good man took it, but he just asked to spare our lives."

Li Xingdao: "Of course I want to spare your life, I just want you to go back and tell him Ma Shiying, since he has become this prime minister, he must devote himself to the country and protect the people, and don't think about escaping first." What will happen to the people who leave a city behind? Are they not human beings, like ants? ”

"Yes, yes......" The butler nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Li Xingdao: "You go back and call Ma Shiying, and also go and tell Ruan Dacheng that the two of them will stay in the city, live and die with the city, and share their fate with the emperor." If the two of them escaped first, I, Li Xing, would be on the rivers and lakes, even if he fled to the ends of the earth, I would take the lives of the two of them. ”

"Yes, yes. I will definitely bring it and say it to Ma Xiangye word for word. ”

"Okay." Li Xing said, "Let's go and tell him that if you want to seek revenge, come to me, I won't change my name, I won't change my surname, Li Xing in northern Shaanxi is also." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Li Xing and Bai Yuyao together, and the soldiers left Linggu Temple in four ways.

They each walked for more than a dozen miles in four directions, and then met together on the east side.

Li Xingdao: "I don't think there is any big problem, let's go back to Chenjiazhuang." ”

Huang Xianfu said: "I won't go with you, I have to go back to the palace." ”

Yang Shucheng said: "Brother Huang, come with us, haven't you heard that the Qing soldiers have broken through the Huai River defense line, and the main soldiers are rushing towards Nanjing in two ways." ”

Huang Xianfu said: "Little brother, you still don't believe in my ability, when the city is broken, I have my own way to get out." ”

Yang Shucheng thought for a while and confessed: "I think the emperor is also a poor person, and when the time comes, Brother Huang will help him." ”

Huang Xianfu smiled and said, "I drank a lot of his wine, and when the time comes, I will protect him." ”

"Thank you, big brother."

Huang Xianfu said: "It's okay, the mountains are high and the waters are long, and there is a time to meet." Everybody's gone. ”

Before Huang Xianfu finished speaking, the person had already run down the mountain like a puff of smoke.

Naturally, the three of them didn't worry about him, made a big circle to the south, and then walked towards the north.

It was already noon, and there was not a single family in the mountains, and even if there were people, the three of them did not dare to go into the house to eat, so as not to fall behind.

The three of them ate some wild fruits in the canyon, had lunch, rested their feet, and then continued eastward.

The three of them chose a deserted mountain road to advance, and when they met people, they also made a detour, and no one saw them along the way, Li Xing was also a very cautious person.

It was already evening, and I came to Chenjiazhuang.

Li Xing said to Bai Yuyao: "I still can't rest assured about this Chen Zhuang owner, as the saying goes, wealth is moving, such twelve boxes of treasures, I'm not afraid that he won't be tempted, I'm here with Brother Yang, you go into the village and inquire again, see what strange behavior he has?" ”

"Understood."

Bai Yuyao tightened her clothes and looked around, at this time, it was already night, and there was no one in the distance, only one or two birdcalls occasionally on the distant trees.

He discerned the direction, performed light skills, and ran towards Chenjiazhuang.

After running for more than ten miles, he soon came to Chenjiazhuang.

There were still lights in Chenjiazhuang, Bai Yuyao went around to the backyard, flew up the wall, and look, there was no movement. Fly and fall to the ground.

There are many houses in this Chenjiazhuang courtyard, and there are more trees, and the moonlight is very good, Bai Yuyao ran towards the lighted house like a bird.

This is not comparable to Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng's residence, as well as patrols, this is a rich man in the countryside, now it is late at night, there are black lights everywhere, and people have gone back to their rooms to sleep.

It's still the old rule, Bai Yuyao ran to the front of the house, flew into the house, and lay on the roof. Uncover the tiles and look through the cracks into the house.

Inside the house, a little bit of light. Master Chen Zhuang and an old servant spoke in a low voice.
