Chapter 313: The Jade Seeker (Part II)
When the sun set, a group of uninvited guests came from outside Xunmen, and at a glance, there were hundreds of people. If it weren't for the poor and sour look on his face, the disciples guarding the door thought that they were hooligans and bandits from somewhere, and they didn't look for Xunmen for a long time.
"Stop!" the three disciples stopped them with their long swords, and kept a certain distance from them, their faces full of vigilance.
Although there is no malice in this group of men dressed as farmers, after all, they are facing more than a hundred people, and no matter how the three gatekeepers are, they will be weak after all. There was another incident in the gate, and the three of them never dared to take this matter lightly.
The first man with a thin face but a rather sturdy body stood up and arched his hand: "In Xia Yu Rang, I have had some friendship with the brothers and Xun Gongzi before, and I came to visit today, and I also asked the three of you to report on your behalf." ”
These more than 100 people are the bandits who were recruited by Xun Yuzhan before, and Yu Rang is their leader, and now they have dealt with their own private affairs, packed up, and finally came to Langya County before the city gate was closed.
Because of the identity of himself and others, Yu Rang also said it quite tactfully, just to visit. But he knew in his heart that he and the others had been to Xunmen, and the scale of these hundred or so people had also caused a lot of sensation, and there should be no disciples of Xunmen who didn't know them.
When the gatekeepers heard this, they frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, they suddenly remembered that a few days ago, there was indeed such a large group of people looking for the eldest prince, and it is said that the eldest prince also arranged some positions for them.
Tut.
The three gatekeepers snorted secretly, and their contemptuous gazes suddenly overflowed.
Yu Rang bowed slightly, with a humble expression. As a thief, his status is humble, and it is common sense to be looked down upon, not to mention that he has robbed such young sect disciples in the past, the two sides are not all the way, these three Xunmen disciples are not speaking ill of each other, it is already very face-saving for these three Xunmen disciples not to speak ill of them, how can there be so many strange characters like Xun Yuzhan in this world?
"The eldest prince is not in the door, you can come back later. The gatekeeper put away his sword and sent it off directly.
"Huh?" Hearing this, the crowd behind suddenly stirred.
Yu Rang hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, and said with a smile to the three disciples: "Then I don't know if it's inconvenient to reveal, when will Xun Gongzi come back?"
"The matter of the eldest prince, how do we people know!"
The janitor said impatiently. They also told the truth, after the accident in Xunmen in the morning, all the disciples went back to their rooms and did not go out, and it was not until dusk that Wei Dingshan rearranged the disciples guarding the door, and told them that if outsiders came, they were not allowed to let them in.
The three disciples received this task, and they were nervous, for fear that the second son would come back again. When he was already in a bad mood, he happened to bump into Yu Rang and the others, and the three disciples said in their hearts that they were already merciful if they didn't make trouble, why didn't these guys get out quickly!
Yu Rang's expression immediately darkened, he hesitated for a moment, forced a smile and thanked him, and then led his men to retreat to an open place not far away.
"Boss Yu, what should we do now? Why don't we wait?" someone in the crowd immediately asked.
"Boss Yu, didn't Xun Gongzi regret it, did he? That's why he casually asked someone to send us ......"
"Shut up!"
Before the second person could finish speaking, Yu Rang glared at the man fiercely and reprimanded: "Xun Gongzi is definitely not this kind ......of person! Xunmen can't afford to lose this person!"
"So what do we do now?"
Yu Rang touched his chin and thought: "Today is the second day of the Great Autumn Festival, it is reasonable that Xun Gongzi can't pull away, let's see if there are any vacancies at the nearby inn first, and then arrange someone to come over and ask!"
"And!" Yu Rang suddenly raised his voice and said in an accentuated tone: "It's all at this time, do you still have anyone who questions Xun Gongzi?"
He pointed to an elderly man with missing front teeth and said, "Old Huang, are you allowed?"
The named Lao Huang immediately raised his big rough fist at the mouth of the bowl and raised it, and scolded at everyone: "You turtle cubs! Whoever insults the reputation of Xun Gongzi again, the old man will fight with him!"
A beautiful girl beside the old man also blushed and waved her fist: "Xiao Yan also fought with him!"
The crowd suddenly burst into laughter, and someone teased: "I've seen the old man Huang's desperate method, and I'm afraid of it, but what kind of spelling are you, Xiao Yan?"
As soon as the words fell, there was another lewd laugh.
Yu Rang scratched his head a little helplessly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the three disciples under the archway of Xunmen who were glaring fiercely at him and the others, and immediately turned around and made a silent motion.
"It's all in trouble! It's not like a cottage, and we're no longer thieves, pay attention to the image!"
"Okay boss!" everyone was in unison, and the lazy appearance suddenly looked as solemn as an army.
Yu Rang coughed, turned his head and took a deep look at the gate of Xunmen, and then turned around and led everyone away.
Not far away, three disciples snorted at their backs again.
"What are you proud of?" said one of the disciples.
"That's it, a group of people in the mountains and wilderness, didn't they just take shit luck and hugged the eldest prince's thigh?" said another disciple with a cold face.
The third disciple didn't curse, but just sighed: "You say, the old head and head of our Xunmen are so powerful, how can they give birth to two sons...... This eldest prince is also the second son, and he doesn't know how to be blessed in the blessings, if I were them......"
"Shh
The other two put their fingers up to their lips and hurriedly stopped.
"Silence, pay attention to the image!"
The three of them exchanged a look, and then hung their heads down in frustration.
Tonight, the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and there was no moon or starlight, and it was dark.
Even the lights all over Xunmen seemed to be a little dim.
Xun Wushuang woke up from her dream, she straightened up suddenly, her eyes were round, and her whole body was soaked with sweat.
She glanced around with a blank expression, and suddenly realized that she seemed to be in the boudoir of the house.
"Miss, you're finally awake!"
Jiang Ling stayed on the side of the bed, tired after a day's work, already a little drowsy, his head drooped and started to "fish" non-stop, at this moment he suddenly noticed that there was a movement beside him, and immediately a spirit recovered his spirit, and when he saw Xun Wushuang sitting up, he was immediately overjoyed.
There was a tingling sensation in her arm, Xun Wushuang spread out her hands, and at a glance, she saw a thick white bandage wrapped around her elbow and wrist, she was stunned, and only then did she remember what happened to her today.
She looked at Jiang Ling and hurriedly asked, "What happened after I was defeated!"
Jiang Ling rolled her eyes, and said in her heart that this eldest lady didn't care about herself first, but she also knew that Xun Wushuang had always been like this, so she could only say helplessly: "Senior brother thinks that he is not the opponent of Hua Qianshu, so he admits defeat, let's withdraw first for the time being." ”
Xun Wushuang slammed his fist into the bed board, hating iron and steel: "Senior brother, how can you learn that coward!"
Jiang Ling was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed Xun Wushuang's hand, told her not to move, and said distressedly: "Alas, eldest lady, if Senior Brother doesn't admit defeat, you will be the only one lying here now!"
When Xun Wushuang heard this, he was speechless for a while, so he held his cheeks and sulked angrily.
She's not unreasonable, she just feels aggrieved.
Jiang Ling smiled playfully, put on a dress for Xun Wushuang, and then whispered: "Senior brother is waiting outside the door, he said that without the permission of the eldest lady, it is inconvenient for him to enter the eldest lady's boudoir, this time you have already woken up, or ......."
Xun Wushuang glanced at his room, which was by no means different from the usual ladies, and laughed angrily.
"Let him in! a man, squirm!"
Jiang Ling immediately ran to the door and pulled the door open, dragging Song Anshi, who was waiting outside the door, in.
Song Anshi was still a little at a loss at first, but when he saw the layout in Xun Wushuang's room, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Good fellow, there are more knives, guns and clubs here than you own! In addition, there is a dirty bronze mirror that looks a bit like the girl's house, and there are many classics in his house.
After Song Anshi saw Xun Wushuang, the first thing he did was to admit his mistake: "Miss, I'm sorry, I have embarrassed Xunmen." ”
Xun Wushuang wanted to scold him first, but unexpectedly, Song Anshi took the preemptive action, she was stunned, and the fire in her stomach seemed to be suddenly blocked, and it was difficult to pour. So she hugged her head and said in frustration: "No, it's okay, I don't blame you." ”
"That flower thousand trees are indeed too strong. ”
Song Anshi breathed a sigh of relief again, and Jiang Ling beside him cast him with a look of admiration.
"Not really. Song Anshi sent Xun Wushuang another step and said, "We have sent someone to test it, and the eldest lady has been poisoned, but this poison only has a paralyzing effect, and there is no other threat." ”
"Poison?" Xun Wushuang was stunned again, and then she looked at her hands.
Song Anshi nodded and said, "Well, that Hua Qianshu was poisoned on the knife, and it must be because of this that the eldest lady fell." This poison is extremely rare, it was not found out at the first time, and the deacon of Yunxian Pavilion did not notice it, so that Hua Qianshu escaped a catastrophe, otherwise they would use this despicable means to make it impossible to eat and walk around!"
After saying that, Song Anshi looked indignant.
Xun Wushuang heard this, but her expression did not fluctuate much, she smiled miserably, lowered her head, and didn't say anything.
But she knew in her heart that if it wasn't for this poison to make her fall, with her own temperament, she would definitely still be stubborn there, and it would be more dangerous at that time, after all, she was not the opponent of the flower thousand trees.
After a moment of silence, Xun Wushuang bit his lip lightly, and then looked up at Song Anshi, his eyes flashing with light.
"Where is Xun Yuzhan?"
