Chapter 180: Survivors
Early the next morning, Leng Shao took Mu Xiaofeng to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, Leng Shao saw Leng Feng sitting in the lobby early looking at the various information sent, and Li Sheng was accompanying Leng Feng on the side. Leng Shao saw Li Sheng pouting, and there was a trace of unhappiness in his heart, because it was his own brother who accompanied Leng Feng before.
Leng Feng saw Leng Shao coming with Mu Xiaofeng, put down the message in his hand, beckoned to the two of them, and then asked, "Brother, why are you here so early?" And what did you bring Mu Xiaofeng over? ”
Leng Shao first bowed to Leng Feng and said slowly: "I think Mu Xiaofeng is an important hostage, and the army of Her Royal Highness the Princess is in front of him, it is a little unsafe for him to stay in White Feather City, it is better to send him to the royal capital to take care of it." ”
Leng Feng nodded after hearing this, feeling that what Leng Shao said was indeed reasonable, and then prepared to arrange for Leng Shao to escort Mu Xiaofeng to the royal capital. But at this time, Li Sheng stopped it, he pointed at Mu Xiaofeng viciously and said: "City Lord, you must not let this kid go, he is an important hostage, if something goes wrong on the road, we are not even qualified to negotiate with Zhou Linlin!" ”
When Leng Shao heard Lisheng say this, he was furious, walked in front of Lisheng and slapped the table hard, and shouted: "Lisheng! How dare you call Her Royal Highness the princess by her name! Are you trying to rebel or not? Besides, what's the problem with me being escorted personally? You can't trust me, the young city lord? ”
Li Sheng lowered his head at this time and didn't dare to look directly at Leng Shao, although he hated Mu Xiaofeng in his heart, but now was not the time to go against Leng Shao. At this time, Leng Feng came out to make a round, and asked Leng Shao and Lisheng to escort Mu Xiaofeng to the royal capital together, so that Leng Shao and Lisheng would give up.
So the three of them packed up for a while, and then headed towards the king's capital, because the three of them set off lightly, they didn't need to take the main road, just go over the king's mountain range. As soon as he left White Feather City, Li Sheng took out a piece of cloth from his bag and wanted to blindfold Mu Xiaofeng's eyes, because he couldn't let Mu Xiaofeng know the path out of the dense forest.
Mu Xiaofeng didn't resist, but if he did this, he knew that the dense forest around Bai Yu City must have a pattern to follow, but he had no way to convey this news to Zhou Linlin and them for the time being.
Mu Xiaofeng was led by Leng Shao and the two of them to walk in this dense forest, Mu Xiaofeng could occasionally hear the sound of the tree trunk being cut, but he remembered that the trees in the dense forest could heal quickly, and it seemed that there was no way to get out of the dense forest with this method.
But the three of them didn't have long to walk, and they walked out of this dense forest, and they were now facing the towering King Mountain Range. And Mu Xiaofeng glanced back at the dense forest behind him, but he didn't see anything different, but there was one thing that could be assured, that is, they also relied on the mark to get out of the dense forest.
Mu Xiaofeng had no way to carefully check the clues in this dense forest, so he could only follow Leng Shao and them to climb the King Mountain Range in front of them. Around noon, Mu Xiaofeng and the others had already come to the peak of the King Mountain Range, standing on this peak, the current scenery was very magnificent. Mu Xiaofeng could see the White Feather City looming in the fog, and he could also see Zhou Linlin's camp.
Leng Shao patted Mu Xiaofeng's shoulder at this time, and then said: "We are not here to travel, we still have a long way to go, according to this progress, if we can't get to the royal capital today, we can only find a village near the royal capital to settle down." ”
Leng Shao's words were actually not said to Mu Xiaofeng, but deliberately said to Lisheng. Because Principal Kong was in a village near the royal capital, Leng Shao hinted that Mu Xiaofeng would take them to Principal Kong's side.
And Mu Xiaofeng naturally understood Leng Shao's meaning, and in the subsequent trip, he repeatedly proposed to rest for a while, this Lisheng was naturally angry, pointing at Mu Xiaofeng who was lying on the ground and scolded: "You lazy bone, you have to rest after walking a few steps, what kind of conspiracy are you planning?" ”
Mu Xiaofeng didn't pay attention to Lisheng, turned over, turned his back to Lisheng and continued to rest. At this time, Leng Shao smiled secretly, then coughed, signaling that Mu Xiaofeng was about to leave. Only then did Mu Xiaofeng slowly get up, stretch his waist, and continue to move forward.
In this way, their trip was completely slowed down, which was also Leng Shao's wish, and Leng Shao took Mu Xiaofeng and Lisheng to a dilapidated village near the royal capital. Since it was getting late, Leng Shao could only find a farmer's house and give them some money to live in.
In the evening the owner of the farmhouse was still very welcoming and prepared a hot meal for the three of them. However, Leng Shao knew that he had to find a way to break away from Lisheng, so he pulled two mouthfuls of food and then threw the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, pretending to be angry.
When Lisheng saw Leng Shao's move, he knew that Leng Shao was about to come to find trouble for him, and sure enough, Leng Shao took out a small bag of gold from his pocket, and then threw it in front of Lisheng and said, "The food here is not to the taste of this young master, when have I ever eaten such a bad thing." Lisheng, you take this money to buy me two roast chickens, and bring a pot of wine by the way. ”
Li Sheng picked up the money bag thrown by Leng Shao, then checked it, and then asked: "Young City Lord, we have a task in our bodies, let's keep everything simple." If Mu Xiaofeng escaped, you and I would not be able to bear this responsibility. ”
Leng Shao smiled, and then suddenly a knife hit Mu Xiaofeng in the back of the neck, Mu Xiaofeng felt the world spinning at this time, and lay on the table. Leng Shao looked at Mu Xiaofeng, who had fainted, and then continued: "This mission is for you to assist me, naturally you have to listen to my command, if I lose this guy, you can take my head." ”
Li Sheng knew that he couldn't stand the cold, so he got up and left the table. Although Li Sheng is very reluctant to do this kind of errand, now is not the time to tear his face with Leng Shao.
Leng Shao saw that Lisheng was gone, so he pushed Mu Xiaofeng beside him, Mu Xiaofeng didn't really faint, this was all what he discussed with Leng Shao, just pretending. But Mu Xiaofeng touched his aching neck and blamed: "It's just pretending, why are you so heavy." ”
Leng Shao smiled, and then personally poured tea for Mu Xiaofeng, and comforted: "Of course, this must be realistic, otherwise how can we make that guy Lisheng believe us." Leng Shao paused, then got up and pulled Mu Xiaofeng up and left, they didn't have much time, so they had to hurry up and find Principal Kong who was hiding in the village while Li Sheng was away.
Leng Shao and Mu Xiaofeng quietly left the farmhouse and walked towards a corner of the village, Leng Shao found that there was a person behind him who was following them, Leng Shao knew that it must be Lisheng, but Leng Shao did not poke him, but let Lisheng follow quietly.
Under the leadership of Leng Shao, Mu Xiaofeng came to a very inconspicuous hut. The hut looked very old, with lime falling from the yellowed walls from time to time, and the broken wooden door in front of it seemed to have no sense of presence at all, and it felt like it would fall down at the slightest push.
Leng Shao didn't push the door directly, but still knocked on the door slowly three times very politely. There was no response in the room, so Leng Shao knocked three times again, this time the knock was a little hurried. At this time, an old man's voice came from inside the house: "Is it Leng Feng?" ”
Leng Shao smiled at this time, and shouted to the old man in the door: "Principal Kong, I am Leng Shao, I came to see you today." ”
Principal Kong opened a crack in the door at this time, and then carefully looked at Leng Shao outside the door, and found that it was indeed him, so he hurriedly beckoned Leng Shao into the room.
Leng Shao took Mu Xiaofeng into the house, the house was full of some shabby furniture, he didn't expect that the four major families who were once extravagant would also fall to such a state.
Principal Kong arranged for Mu Xiaofeng and them to sit down, poured them simple tea, and then asked Leng Shao, "Leng Shao, why did you suddenly come to me?" Principal Kong was a little surprised by Leng Shaodi's arrival, because in order to protect Principal Kong, in fact, Leng Feng and Leng Shao rarely visited him in the village.
Leng Shao took a sip of water at this time, and then stared at Principal Kong with a very serious expression, and he asked, "Principal, I came here today to ask you something, are there any survivors of the four major families?" I think Principal Kong must have already contacted these survivors, right? "Leng Shao actually didn't have any information to directly point out that there were survivors, so he just said that he was just scaring Principal Kong.
But Principal Kong was really baitted by Leng Shao's intimidation, his hands trembled so much that he couldn't hold the water cup, and the tea spilled all over the ground. Mu Xiaofeng pressed Principal Kong's trembling hands at this time, and comforted: "Principal rest assured, we are not here to kill everything, we just feel that the destruction of the four major families is too strange, and we are investigating this matter." ”
Principal Kong was a little relieved when he heard Mu Xiaofeng say this, he took a sip of the tea that was already left in his hand, and said slowly: "Hey! I'm here again to investigate this matter. There is indeed a family member of the Kong family who survived this massacre, and I also took the initiative to find this person, this person is hiding in the mountains and forests of the King Mountain Range, and it happens that tonight is the day we agreed to meet, and we agreed to meet at the mass grave next to the village. ”
Leng Shao was a little excited when he heard Principal Kong say this, and he hurriedly asked Principal Kong if he could take them with him, they wanted to dig out the truth about the destruction of the four major families.
Seeing that Leng Shao was so persistent, Principal Kong sighed, then nodded, and promised to take them to meet the survivor. Leng Shao saw that Principal Kong agreed, so he smiled, and then glanced towards the door, he knew that Li Sheng outside their conversation could hear it clearly.
And Lisheng outside the door showed an excited expression on his face at this time, his hands were constantly trembling, he looked at his trembling hands, and then took out the short knife on his waist, licked it, and said to himself viciously: "Principal Kong! I've been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect to be caught here. ”
