Chapter 40: Celebration of the Whole Heaven (6)
Wen Xuan hesitated for a while, and after a few breaths, he said to He Lizhu: "If this matter is revealed, you will be sentenced to death, aren't you afraid?" He Lizhu said softly: "We are all students of Wucheng, and our future career is to face death, if you don't dare to do this, it is better to change careers as soon as possible." Wen Xuan put the sword on the table and sat opposite He Lizhu, thinking, "Although this woman doesn't know much yet, there is no other way at this time, so it is better to listen to her." Then he said, "Who's going to pick me up?"
He Lizhu said: "You will know when the time comes, the hour is not early, you rest first." Tomorrow evening, Qiao Zhuang will dress up, and someone will pick you up. After speaking, He Lizhu got up, picked up the sword on the table, and said with a smile: "Return this sword to me first." With that, he covered his face and walked out of the store.
Wen Xuan, seeing He Lizhu leave the store, thought to himself, "Who is this woman, why did you save me?" The more Wen Xuan thought about it, the more strange he felt, and he no longer felt sleepy. A few hours later, the sky lit up slightly. Pedestrians began to walk outside the door.
Wen Xuan's nerves tensed up at any time in this empty and dim shop, hiding in the dark, staring out the door.
After a while, I only listened to the sound of horses' hooves leaning in, and the gurgling ~ listening to the sound should be a carriage. The sound of horses' hooves drew closer and stopped at the door of the shop.
Wen Xuan was shocked and immediately hid in the cellar.
Knock knock!~ The person on the horse got off the horse and opened the door, Wen Xuan thought to himself, "Could it be He Lizhu who came to pick me up, but she obviously said that it was evening, why did she come early in the morning." ”
But just thinking of this, the sound of tricks suddenly stopped, and I heard the man riding on the horse, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and he was getting farther and farther away from the store.
Wen Xuan thought to himself, "Isn't it He Lizhu, then what is this person doing here?" Wen Xuan slowly walked out of the cellar, took out a kitchen knife from the cabinet, and wanted to get close to the window door to watch the situation outside.
Wen Xuan walked to the door step by step, only to hear a bang~, and the entire store door exploded in all directions. The light from outside shone in! Wen Xuan was stimulated by the bright light for a moment, and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.
I only saw that there were more than ten black shadows standing in front of me, and a strong voice shouted: "He is really here, take him and go to the brocade department to get the reward!"
Wen Xuan opened his eyes and saw more than a dozen big men standing outside the door, each holding a big knife, fierce and vicious, and thought, "Damn! I was deceived by He Lizhu." ”
The dozen or so men slowly approached the house, and one of them said, "Doll, go back with us obediently, or you will cut off your feet and carry them back!"
Wen Xuan thought to himself, "Now I can only fight with them! I must not be captured alive!" and then turned the kitchen knife in his hand horizontally, and blue light flashed on the knife.
The more than ten men looked at this and smiled: "Hahaha, it seems that you don't obey, boy, just your three-legged cat's kung fu, you want to kill all of our dozen first-class warriors?"
Wen Xuan's heart was cold after hearing this, and he looked at their epaulettes carefully, which indeed had "first-class samurai" written on them, and thought to himself, "It seems that this time it is really certain that you will die, rather than fighting them and being captured alive, it is better to cut them off yourself!" After thinking about it, he aimed the knife in his hand at his neck and prepared to cut it down.
Bang~ There was a sudden loud noise on the eaves, and the entire eaves were blown out of a big hole, and the gravel fell from the roof to the ground, and the dust dispersed. The two balls burst in mid-air, instantly emitting thick purple smoke that engulfed the entire store.
The dozen or so big men shouted, "It's a smoke ball!"
Wen Xuan only felt that the smoke was very choking, and a pungent and unpleasant smell penetrated into his nose, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and there was a purple smoke in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, a black shadow fell, hugged Wen Xuan's waist, and hugged him to the eaves, after getting on the eaves, Wen Xuan immediately gasped for the air, and looked back at the man in black, although he was masked, but it was definitely He Lizhu.
He Lizhu shouted at Wen Xuan: "These more than ten people are above me, this place is not suitable for a long time, go quickly!" He Lizhu saw that the sound just now alarmed many people in Mingying City, and they all ran to the shop to watch. Hurriedly took out a black cloth from his pocket and asked Wen Xuan to bring it, and when he saw Wen Xuan take it, he took Wen Xuan's hand and ran out.
The feet of the two are also very fast, and they have reached the mountain section behind Mingying Mountain after walking for more than ten miles, only to hear the sound of the water, and there is a mountain stream in front. He Lizhu looked back and saw that there were no pursuers. He said, "There is a stream here, drink some water and then go." Wen Xuan was feeling thirsty, looking for a sound and came to the stream, the stream water was unusually clear under the sun, just reached into the stream, only to hear He Lizhu pick up a package in the bushes on the side, and said: "There are clothes prepared here, and a knife, you quickly change into it" Wen Xuan saw that the clothes were actually the clothes worn by ordinary people's children, and thought, "This He Lizhu is extremely thoughtful, and the escape route just now turned out to be planned by her in advance." Wen Xuan got up and changed his clothes, He Lizhu took out a small bottle from his pocket, poured some of the slimy liquid in it into his hand, and said to Wen Xuan: "This thing can change your skin color and make you not easy to be recognized." With that, he smeared the slimy liquid on Wen Xuan's face. Wen Xuan felt cold at first, but after a while, he felt a stinging pain on his face, and the fire was burning. asked: "What is this, it hurts to death!" He Lizhu replied: "This is the disfiguring gum, the effect lasts for about a month, and you will be like this for the next month!" After speaking, he smiled, shook his head against the stream, and motioned for Wen Xuan to take a look at his current appearance through the clear water.
Wen Xuan stretched out his head, and saw that Qing Shui's face was dark-complexed, full of yang spots, and his eyes had also turned into Danfeng eyes. Wen Xuan immediately touched his face with his hand and said, "This face is really ugly!"
He Lizhu laughed out loud and said, "You still have to care about your appearance now, save your life first!"
Wen Xuan thought to himself, "Indeed, I guess Ling'er won't recognize me if I look like this now." He Lizhu really has a way, it seems that she was wrongly blamed just now!" Thinking of this, Wen Xuan's heart fluttered, he looked at He Lizhu, and said, "Thank you for helping me like this." ”
He Lizhu shook her head and said softly, "Wenxuan, do you know how you were discovered?"
Wen Xuan was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself, "If it wasn't for He Lizhu's betrayal of me, how would those dozen people find out their hiding place?", and then asked, "How did they find out?"
He Lizhu stepped forward, patted Wen Xuan's shoulder, and said, "Wen Xuan...... Uncle Chen is dead..."
