Chapter 290: Discovering the Mystery (1)

Intentionally planting flowers does not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade.

In the long wait of waiting for the rabbit, Xiao Wu did not find any abnormalities in the crowd that came in and out of the inn, and felt faintly bad in her heart, and she always wanted to return to the inn and go to the store to find the man in the straw hat again.

Although it was late autumn, the sun was still bright and piercing near noon.

The autumn wind blew with a chill on Xiao Wu, who was hiding in the shade of a roof, and made her shiver from the cold.

Just as he was about to despair, a family next to the backyard of the inn finally attracted Xiao Wu's attention.

The front yard of that house was very neat and clean, as if someone had often cleaned and trimmed delicate bonsai and placed it on the edge of the withered flower bed.

Apparently there are people living here.

Tall trees are planted on both sides of the backyard wall, and a stone path is paved in the middle of the courtyard that connects the front house to the back house.

There's nothing wrong with that.

What is not normal is that Xiao Wu can see from a distance on both sides of the gravel road, and there is a large circle on the ground, which is different from the color of other grounds, and some boundaries can be seen from a distance.

"Huh?......"

How is this place somewhat similar to the ground where I often practice swords in the woods of the special training camp?

In the place where I often practice swords, the ground that I often step on hardens and slowly forms a circle, which is very different from the ground with long grass next to it.

Could it be that there are people here who practice martial arts all the time?

Xiao Wu was suspicious, and if she looked closely, judging from the situation of the house, it should be considered a big family, but after observing for half an hour, she didn't find a single person coming in and out.

This is not normal!

Xiao Wu got closer and found that in the middle of the tree in the backyard, a black dress that looked like a night coat was drying.

There are so many strange things that it should be worth checking in.

Xiao Wu jumped a few times, went around to the backyard of the house, and fell into the courtyard from a place where there was a tree.

As soon as his feet hit the ground, he heard a faint brass bell ringing.

Broken!

Xiao Wu had a big alarm bell in her heart, and she understood that she had touched the mechanism, and when she looked down, she saw that her feet were stepping on the golden fallen leaves, revealing a very thin silk thread inside, and if you think about it, you can know that the end of the silk thread must be connected to the bell.

At this time, two men dressed as knife-wielding men rushed out from the front room and the back room respectively, and surrounded the small dance troupe.

Xiao Wu took out a dagger and confronted the four of them.

A very strong man, without saying a word, swung his knife and slashed at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu didn't take the move directly, but dodged backwards, and before his feet were stable, the sturdy man swung his knife and slashed again, and the two were entangled together.

"Let's get on it!"

The stout man shouted, and the other three also rushed forward, and the four of them fought together.

Xiao Wu took the opportunity to grab a knife, and after three or five more rounds, a man suddenly turned around, and a piece of white powder spilled out of his hand.

Xiao Wu vigilantly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves while dodging the attack of the four people, and after a while, she still felt weak.

Hit!

When Xiao Wu came to her senses, she found that she was tied up by Wuhua and fell to the ground, and her head was drenched with water.

In front of him stood a white-haired old man on crutches, the old man was holding the "Zhou Gong Order" in his hand, seeing Xiao Wu wake up, he held up the jade plaque and asked sharply: "Who are you......?" Where did it come from?".

Xiao Wu knew in her heart that she might have encountered an assassin, but she was caught, and she was a little worried that the token would be used by them.

"I'm a little person, it's not worth mentioning, what about that? buy it, you want it, I'll sell it to you, as long as the price is good, you can ask for as much as you want."

The sturdy man pulled Xiao Wu up and punched her in the stomach.

"If you are not honest, I will beat you to death"

Xiao Wu was already injured, and he was beaten and snorted a few times, and was pressed to his knees in front of the old man.

The old man looked gloomy and said coldly: "I advise you...... Don't play tricks, say! Zhou Dan, why did you give you the jade plaque? You take the jade plaque...... What are you going to do? Your clothes...... Why is it wet?".

Xiao Wu raised her neck and asked, "Who are you, why did you arrest me? You don't have the right to interrogate me."

"What a hard mouth!"

As soon as the old man spoke, Xiao Wu was punched a few more times by the strong man, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

The old man made an angry face, stared at Xiao Wu's face, and spoke again: "Hmph! If you don't say it, okay, then I'll tell you for you, you are ...... The person Zhou Dan trusts is him...... A stand-in who fell into the lake, right......? That's you, right? It's salvaging you, but you are here, it seems that our fate is not shallow, I want to think that Zhou Dan, only treat you as a substitute for the dead ghost, you are really pitiful."

Knowing that the old man was provoking, he must have seen the slave mark on his forehead, Xiao Wu wanted to know more, so he took advantage of the topic and said: "Cut, where are the dead slaves like us...... Aren't they all the same......? Isn't it the same?".

The old man snorted coldly, and was about to speak, when a voice suddenly came from the inner room, "Sir, the car is already waiting, there are many people on the street, and there is a lot of noise, don't miss the hour."

The old man answered, "Okay, got it."

Xiao Wu could hear it, this was the voice of the guy who had stopped him.

How did he end up here?

Could it be that the two places are connected?

This thought suddenly crossed his mind, and Xiao Wu listened carefully to the sound of his footsteps leaving in the house, and could already tell which direction he was going.

The old man glanced down at Xiao Wu, who was knocked to the ground, and said to the four men who looked like family members beside him: "If it is aimed at this, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave, can I escape today...... It's up to her."

Xiao Wu was forced to the neck by the strong man's knife, and smelled the smell of burning outside, presumably they were destroying the information.

After a while, Xiao Wu was escorted out of the back room and walked along the crossroads to the front room, Xiao Wu caught a glimpse of an ambush archer on the roof of the house elsewhere, passing through the front room and heading towards the gate.

A man opened the door, and the sturdy man pressed a knife to Xiao Wu's neck, and walked out first, followed by the white-bearded old man and the other three family members.

The white-haired old man on the pillar crutch held the Zhou Gong token in his hand and shouted loudly, "The Zhou Gong order is here, you can see it clearly, call your head quickly...... Come here".

Seeing Zhou Gong's order, sure enough, none of the soldiers and archers who had surrounded the hospitalized dared to take another step.

A soldier who looked like a small boss hesitated for a moment, then turned to leave.

Soon after, a heroic man wearing a golden mask and golden armor, and a sergeant of a tiger soldier who also wore a golden helmet and golden armor, hurried over with the little leader.

Xiao Wu recognized that the person with the golden mask was Jiang Yi, the most powerful person in the special training camp.

The old man held the token, pointed to Xiao Wu, who was forced by the knife, and talked to Jiang Yi about the conditions.

"This is Zhou Gong's order, you have a good look, she is Zhou Dan's person, I want her to live, prepare five fast horses for us, and send us out of the city safely"

Jiang Yi looked at the token seriously, showed a look of embarrassment, pondered for a long time, and responded helplessly.

"It's not easy to get the Zhou Gong token, we ...... I dare not offend, I don't know what you ...... Do you mean what you say?"

"One Word for the Word"

"Well, I can't help it, I can only rely on you"

Jiang Yi instructed the people beside him, "Go, prepare five horses."

Jiang Yi turned his head and asked the white-haired old man, "You go by yourself, don't care...... Brothers, fellow disciples?".

Knowing that Jiang had repeatedly probed himself, the old man glared at him, and only snorted coldly.

"The life and death of your lords...... You don't care?"

When the old man heard this, a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes, and he pretended to be indifferent.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Jiang Yi glanced at the five people with a look of contempt, and said slowly: "Isn't it your duty to protect the lord?

The old man was impatient, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, bring the horse".

Xiao Wu's neck had been tightened by the strong man's knife, and a cut was made, and blood flowed out.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
