Chapter 56: The Hunt

Lu Shen called He Wu to arrange some things, and the latter left in a hurry.

Cui Yingluo looked worried: "Lu Shen, do you think the other party will come to Cui's mansion to commit murder?" ”

Lu Shen hesitated for a moment: "Miss, right now, officials from all over Dafeng are being hunted by killers from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and someone will take advantage of this to make a big fuss." ”

"Do you think, what do you think would happen if someone deliberately targeted the Cui family, but attributed the assassination to the killers of the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Cui Yingluo showed a panicked look: "If this is the case, the other party is likely to find an opportunity to come to Cui's Mansion to assassinate." ”

Lu Shen snorted: "This is also the reason why I want to go to Qingyun Town quickly, I want to see if there are any clues at the scene that have not been discovered." ”

Cui Yingluo hesitated: "But, after you leave, what should we do?" ”

"I'll try to rush back as soon as possible, and during this time, you have to make sure that you don't let the third master and the fourth master leave the house, let alone let the head of the family go out alone."

"And the palace goose, don't go out."

Cui Yingluo was stunned: "Then, then we will stay at home?" ”

"Well, leave everything to Chang Lao and Zhang Bo to deal with."

Lu Shen stared at Cui Yingluo: "Remember what I said!" ”

Cui Yingluo nodded subconsciously: "Don't worry." ”

Lu Shen stepped on the horse and glanced at Cui Yingluo again: "Remember my words, wait for me to come back at home." ”

Lu Shen rode his horse towards Qingyun Town, and the fifty-mile journey took about an hour.

When Lu Shen walked into Qingyun Town, before he had time to inquire about the news, he saw a group of officers and soldiers appear on the street, shouting and running into the distance.

Lu Shen dismounted and grabbed a pedestrian on the side of the road: "Fellow, what's wrong?" ”

"Hey, it's dead, a wave of deaths a few days ago, and another wave of deaths today, this Qingyun Town doesn't know why it suddenly became so evil."

Lu Shen frowned: "Do you know who died?" ”

An old man said: "I heard that it was a foreigner who died, and now outsiders don't dare to stay in Qingyun Town." ”

Lu Shen sighed and rode his horse to follow.

When Lu Shen arrived, he watched the officers and soldiers carry out a few corpses from inside, but there was no fifth master of the Cui family inside.

Lu Shen's face changed slightly, he watched a few officers and soldiers leave in a hurry carrying a few corpses, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "A few officials, who is this?" ”

An officer and soldier glared at Lu Shen: "What are you doing?" ”

With a smile, he handed over five taels of silver: "Don't hide it, I'm a passing businessman, and I'm about to settle here, I just heard someone say that there was a murder here, specifically for foreign businessmen." ”

The officers and soldiers put away the silver without a trace: "Whatever is directed at foreign merchants is directed at certain people." ”

"Against certain people?"

The officer and soldier coughed lightly: "Why are you inquiring so clearly?" ”

Lu Shen smiled and stuffed another ten taels of silver: "After all, they are all merchants, so they are sympathetic, you see that you can help bury these corpses." ”

The officers and soldiers looked at ten taels and immediately showed a smile: "Yes, you are a good person, and I will do a good deed." ”

Lu Shen smiled and bowed his hand to the officers and soldiers, and turned to leave.

found an inn casually, and after a short rest, Lu Shen took advantage of the night to walk out.

After strolling around the street, he casually turned into an alley, and Lu Shen jumped on the roof of the house and swept into the distance.

In the dark night, like a ghost dodging into the inn, Lu Shen glanced around and went directly to the second floor.

The building was already empty, and so many people died at once, and the innkeeper and Xiao Er were arrested.

Lu Shen walked around the second floor, gently pushed open a few doors to check, and went directly to the third floor.

In a room on the third floor, Lu Shen looked at the messy tables and chairs, and casually opened the fire fold to examine it carefully.

"What is this?"

In the inside of the bed against the wall, a triangular iron sheet that shimmered with a faint luster aroused Lu Shen's idea.

Lu Shen put away the iron piece, looked around carefully, and found traces of the iron piece scratching on the table and the wall.

At that moment, there was a sudden crisp sound of tiles on the roof, followed by a cat meow.

Lu Shen casually extinguished the fire, and as soon as he dodged to the window, he heard a sharp sound of breaking the air, and then dozens of tiny pieces of silver flew in from the window.

Lu Shen's face was cold, grandma, you still dare to assassinate in front of Tanhualang, I see that you are really impatient.

"Who!"

Lu Shen burst into a shout, his body slammed directly into the window, and the figure pressed on the wall, landed lightly on the roof, and flew into the distance.

"Want to go? It's not that easy. ”

In the moonlight, the figure swept forward like a ghost, and Lu Shen just followed unhurriedly.

After a while, the two of them left Qingyun Town.

Lu Shen watched the figure disappear into a jungle, smiled coldly, and followed directly.

The moonlight shone dappled through the heavy leaves, and the fallen leaves rustled in the breeze.

Lu Shen smiled lightly: "Your Excellency is so handsome, but using this kind of triangular secret weapon to kill people, isn't it a bit of a victory?" ”

There was no sound around.

Lu Shen sneered, and walked forward directly.

There was a vibration in the air, and dozens of silver rays of light flew towards Lu Shen.

Lu Shen's left foot directly swept up the fallen leaves, and those silver mangs collided with the leaves, making a tinkling sound.

A soft voice came from all directions, making people unpredictable: "You are the killer invited by the Cui family?" ”

Lu Shen smiled and said: "Who am I, you don't need to know, you just need to die obediently." ”

"It's a big breath, but the old man has no grievances with you, for the sake of both killers, you can go."

Lu Shen rubbed his nose: "It's okay to go, but I'm going to take your head back." ”

Cold laughter came from all directions: "What a big breath! Aren't you afraid to die here? ”

Lu Shen's gaze looked somewhere: "Sneaky, come out for me!" ”

Lu Shen slowly took a step: "Wu Hook Frost Xueming!" ”

When a poem fell, a sword suddenly surged out between heaven and earth, killing towards a certain darkness, and the sharp sword qi filled the heaven and earth.

"Scribe?!"

In the midst of the shouts, a ball of light exploded, and a black shadow flashed with brilliant silver rays all over its body, turning into sword qi to protect its body.

Lu Shen smiled fiercely, his footsteps were a little on the ground, his two fingers and his sword were together, and he slashed directly towards the other party.

In the darkness, Lu Shen saw an old man with a pale face, his eyes dark green like ghosts.

"I didn't expect the Cui family to invite a scribe, hehe, I want to see what you are capable of as a scribe."

Lu Shen smiled lightly: "I don't have much ability, but it's true that a poem can shock you." ”

"Megalomaniacal boy! The old man sees that you don't want to live anymore. ”

There seemed to be a silver chain floating around the old man's body, emitting a dazzling light.

"Duan Zhichun, I didn't expect your silver snake whip to be so stylish."

The old man was shocked, and looked at Lu Shen with a frightened expression: "You, how do you know the old man's name?" ”

Lu Shen's eyes were playful: "Because the prince told me." ”

Duan Zhichun was shocked: "Impossible, how can the prince tell you my real name.......

"What's impossible? Your task is complete, and it is naturally useless to keep it, and the prince told me your name, which is nothing more than asking me to clean up the portal. ”

Lu Shen raised his head, and a cold glow burst out of his eyes: "A poem shocked you, how about it?" ”
