Chapter 208: Ears and Eyes
Two days later.
The dart car of the Shen Xing Dart Bureau has arrived at the boundary of Jiaxing.
The night is dark and the wind is high, and the cold wind is howling on the official road surrounded by mountains.
The dart master and the executioner of the Shen Xing Dart Bureau built a bonfire and sat around it. On the dart cart next to it, there are always two or three people taking turns to guard it.
On a nearby mountain, three pairs of eyes were staring at a group of them.
From the moment they left the Shen Xing Dart Bureau, Xie Xing and He Qianjin had been secretly following behind them.
In addition to the two, there was also a masked man in black. This person followed Xie Xing from Jiangning, and he was the one with the deepest internal strength among the three.
The so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches, and they think they are yellow finch.
As the night deepened, several dart masters and executioners were either sleeping on the ground or leaning against the nearby trees, and on the mountains, Xie Xing and the black-clothed masked man also leaned against the trees with their eyes closed, while He Qianjin kept an eye on any wind and grass below.
Suddenly, He Qianjin saw that the three guards around the dart car had fainted and fell to the ground.
So, he hurriedly woke up Xie Xing and the black-clothed masked man.
Immediately afterward, the three of them saw dozens of black people running out of the surrounding mountains like ants, and quickly rushed to the two dart carts.
In the blink of an eye, the group removed the box from the wagon and opened it.
Seeing that they were quick and neat, Xie Xing knew at a glance that they were well-trained bandits, so he pulled out his knife and rushed over with light skills.
He Qianjin immediately jumped out.
"Dare to rob my Shaoxing Shen family's darts!" Xie Xing shouted, and wanted to use the name of the Shen family to scare off the group of dart robbers.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, an arrow came from his right side, and one arrow pierced the hairpin around his head.
He was dumbfounded, and his face turned pale with fright.
"Big brother!" He Qianjin exclaimed, and then looked in the direction where the bow and arrow were fired.
Another bow and arrow came and pierced He Qianjin's left arm, causing the knife he was holding in his left hand to fall to the ground!
"Ahh
"Brother He, are you okay?" Xie Xing asked in surprise.
"Big brother, I'm fine, there's a master of archery and arrows!" He Qianjin grinned as he endured the pain.
At this moment, the black-clothed man in the mountain behind the two of them swept through the air like a swallow, galloping towards the forest where the bow and arrow were shot.
In the whistling wind, the man in black heard two rapid sounds, and he immediately drew his sword, and the sword swung forward, cutting off the two bows and arrows that came from him.
He looked ahead, and by the silver moonlight falling on the mountain forest, he caught a figure on the branch of a large tree.
The figure quickly jumped off the tree, sneaking up on the foliage.
The man in black waved the sword in his hand, and a fierce sword aura was born, roaring towards the forest where his eyes were locked, destroying a large number of trees.
Seeing that the figure fled to the forest on the left, the man in black immediately chased after him.
However, when he landed, he was wounded by two false arrows in his right arm and right cheek, and almost removed the scarf that covered his face.
The man in black didn't expect that this archer had actually reached the realm of turning arrows into gas, and he was afraid that he would not be his opponent. So he immediately used light skills to escape and found Xie Xing and He Qianjin.
"Let's go!" the man in black said hurriedly, and then flew away with Xie Xing and He Qianjin.
After a while, the Kunpeng boss came out of the mountains and forests with his bow on his back and joined the gang of the Sky Destroying Dock.
"How's the catch?" asked the Kunpeng boss.
"If you go back to the boss, the two chests will contain some silver on the surface, and the bottom will be full of stones, and the total amount is only a hundred taels of silver. One of the helpers replied.
The Kunpeng boss narrowed his eyes, "This surnamed Ye must have known that there was an ambush, so he asked me to wade into this troubled water, but it is really cunning enough! It seems that there must be something wrong with this Shen Xing Dart Bureau, and we are afraid that we have already been involved in it." ”
What Ye Fei didn't expect was that after returning to Hangzhou after being robbed by the Destroying Sky Dock, Xie Xing would actually take the initiative to visit.
He thought about it, Xie Xing came to him, wouldn't he want him to come forward to help solve this matter?
But how did Xie Xing find out that he was in Hangzhou?
Previously, after the Jiangnan Family Conference, on the way back, the Shen family's ship was attacked by the Heaven Destroying Dock, and it seems that Xie Xing also knew about it.
Could it be that within the Shen family, there are Xie Xing's eyes and ears?
However, Xie Xing should not know that the Shen family sent him to take over the Shen Xing Dart Bureau, if he really has eyes and ears, it can only be some subordinates.
In the end, Ye Fei still didn't see Xie Xing. He was not in a hurry to take back the Shen Xing dart game, he wanted to see who was supporting Xie Xing behind his back, so he asked the housekeeper to send Xie Xing away.
After Xie Xing left, Ye Fei immediately wrote a letter to Shen Xiaoqing, telling her that there might be Xie Xing's eyes and ears in the Shen Mansion, so that the people of the Shen family could pay attention to it on weekdays, and in addition, he was going to Yangzhou with Qin Shuyue.
Because Shen Xiaoqing had a close relationship with the Huajian faction, especially with Xia Lian, he didn't tell her that he planned to go to Suzhou.
At noon, after eating, Ye Fei and Qin Shuyue left Hangzhou and took a boat to Yangzhou.
On the boat, Ye Fei told Qin Shuyue about the discovery of the forbidden land of the Sword Pond in the Flower Sect that night.
Of course, as for why he knew the way to enter the forbidden land, he could only lie to Qin Shuyue and say that it was told to him by Master Lin Bangfeng.
"I didn't expect Zhang Qiuchen to be such a scheming person!" After hearing this, Qin Shuyue couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes," Ye Fei echoed, "Since the third-generation head Zhu Hua was killed, there has been no sword sect master in the Huajian faction, and the rapid decline is painful. ”
"Your master is the head of the Flower Sect, so it should be very uncomfortable in my heart. Qin Shuyue looked at Ye Feidao.
Ye Fei nodded, and said meaningfully, "Master often says that if only he hadn't left the Flower Sect back then. It's only to blame him for being too self-willed and young back then. It's just that people of his temperament are destined to leave. ”
Shen Xiaoqing received Ye Fei's latest letter on the fourth day.
For her, every time she hears a letter from Hangzhou Yefu, she is always very happy in her heart.
But when she saw Ye Fei mentioning in the letter that she was going to take Qin Shuyue to Yangzhou, she angrily twisted the letter into a ball and fell to the ground fiercely.
Although she has been telling herself in her heart that she wants to accept the fact that Ye Fei is a concubine, it has been difficult for her to do so far.
After waiting for a while, after his anger subsided, Shen Xiaoqing picked up the ball of paper from the ground, opened it carefully, and then walked upstairs with the letter and put it in the carved wooden box where he usually collected valuables.
The so-called family letter is worth 10,000 dollars, which is almost the same feeling.
"Kill you!" After muttering a word, Shen Xiaoqing went downstairs to the Cuckoo Garden to find his father Shen Yu and his mother Mrs. Xie, and relayed the things Ye Fei reminded them in the letter.
Afterwards, Shen Xiaoqing fed the pigeons in the cuckoo garden for a while.
The last time I saw Ye Fei say in the letter that she planned to raise carrier pigeons, even if she asked people to buy a few pigeons back, she handed them over to Shen Yu and Mrs. Xie to raise, and by the way, she also let the second elder have fun.
She knew very well that with Ye Fei's temperament, she was afraid that she would not start this matter until next year.
She can't help it, who makes her care more about Ye Fei than Ye Fei about her in this husband and wife relationship.
