Chapter 136: Assassin
Hearing Cui'er say that there were also people in the house who were gouged out by monsters, Wu Ming was suddenly shocked.
Along the way, there are many soldiers in this mansion, and the patrols are extremely strict, so it stands to reason that monsters are afraid of risks and should not do anything in this kind of place.
Cui'er continued: "The dead were two night patrol soldiers, and they were both sentry posts in the West Courtyard, and the general was furious when he learned about it, and transferred more than 100 soldiers to patrol day and night. But the monster came and went without a trace, and ordinary soldiers could do nothing, Madame was worried about the safety of the general, so she asked the two immortal elders to cast a spell to exorcise the demon, even if you can't hold the monster, at least ......"
Cui'er paused for a moment, and then continued: "At least drive the monsters away, don't harm people in the mansion again!"
Wu Ming nodded and asked, "May I ask who lives in the West Courtyard?"
Cui'er's face changed instantly, and after hesitating for a moment, she spoke: "The west courtyard was originally uninhabited, and the general rescued a dancing girl from the hands of horse bandits in the previous section and temporarily placed it in the west courtyard. β
Cui'er said faster and faster, and her voice unconsciously raised a lot: "Not long after this cute child came to the mansion, monsters began to kill people in the city, and the two people who died in the mansion were also near her residence, I think this woman is a broom star......!
"Cui'er, that's enough. The lady behind the screen suddenly spoke, interrupting Cui'er's words.
"Two Taoist leaders, the monster is not going to go in Jiangdu City, my husband is working hard day and night, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, dare to ask you if there is any way to drive it away?"
Wu Ming coughed lightly and said, "Madam, I see that there are many soldiers in this mansion, and they are full of evil spirits, but the monsters still insist on committing murder here, I am afraid there is another reason. β
"Another reason?" said the lady behind the screen and Cui'er almost at the same time.
"Not bad. Wu Ming pretended to nod: "Dare to ask the general if he has captured any monsters recently, or destroyed the nest of monsters?"
Xiao Cui on the side suddenly sighed: "The general just took people to the judge's temple outside the city yesterday, destroyed a monster's lair, and brought back a lot of gold and silver accumulated by monsters, and it is said that he also set fire to a fox spirit at that time!"
"I see, no wonder. Wu Ming saw that the other party had fallen into his trap, and immediately took advantage of the situation: "Most of the fox demons who were burned to death had resentments and turned into murderous creatures to kill people in this mansion." β
"But......" The lady behind the screen paused and said, "Those two soldiers died a few days ago, and the husband only went to the Judge Temple yesterday to destroy the monster's lair......"
The corners of Wu Ming's mouth twitched, and the secret way was not good, he was quick to speak for a while, and he forgot the time before and after!
Fortunately, Ying Ning on the side reacted quickly and immediately spoke: "Madam, you don't know, the fox demon can calculate best." It must have been the fox demon who calculated that the general was going to destroy its lair, so he killed people in the house to warn, but he didn't expect the general to destroy its lair and burn the fox demon's true body. β
"That'...... What can I do then?" Madame's voice was a little flustered, after all, she was a female streamer, and two people died in the mansion in a row, she was already unsettled, and now she was fooled by Wu Ming and Ying Ning, and she was already convinced.
Wu Ming was not in a hurry to speak, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and then slowly spoke: "The fox demon is good at spelling, and the gold and silver brought back by the general must have a curse under the fox demon, if you don't get rid of this spell, the monster will always be near the general, waiting for an opportunity to make trouble." β
"Then how do you get rid of the spell on the gold and silver?" asked Cui'er on the side, her eyes widened, and she couldn't wait to ask.
Wu Ming sighed, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "I need to do a Dharma service, dare to ask where the stolen goods are now?"
Cui'er replied without hesitation: "Those treasures are in the barracks, and they should be locked in the baggage warehouse, which is tightly guarded, and they are not allowed to enter without the general's order. β
"Husband, he has never liked the words of ghosts and gods, but I am afraid that he will not agree to let you enter the baggage warehouse. β
After the lady behind the screen finished speaking, she was silent for a moment: "Cui'er, in a while, you take my handwritten letter and take the two Taoist chiefs to the military camp to find the deputy general, and ask him to take the Taoist chief to exorcise the curse on the stolen goods. β
"Cui'er obeys!" Cui'er obediently opened her mouth to receive the order.
Wu Ming turned his head to look at Ying Ning and blinked, a smug smile flashed on his face.
It really didn't take much effort to get it, and with the recommendation of the general's wife, it was no longer a problem to sneak into the baggage warehouse, and then all you had to do was take the opportunity to steal the two boxes of treasure.
Cui'er walked into the screen and waited for her wife, and after a while, footsteps sounded, Wu Ming looked up, and a tall and picturesque beauty walked out from behind the screen with a letterhead.
With a snap, Wu Ming stood up suddenly, knocked the teacup on the side table over, and spilled the tea on the ground.
"Teacher Fang!" Wu Ming looked surprised and couldn't help but blurt out.
Although the general's wife in front of her was dressed in an ancient palace costume and had high temples, her eyebrows, nose and eyes were exactly the same as Fang Nuan, and she was simply deducted from a mold!
The general's wife was stunned: "Dao Chief, the little girl was indeed surnamed Fang before she got married, but the word 'teacher' is something that she would never dare to be......"
Wu Ming couldn't help but be dumbfounded, there were still such similar people in the world?
Ying Ning on the side poked Wu Ming gently, she hadn't seen Teacher Fang Nuan, and thought that Wu Ming couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman.
Wu Ming suddenly came back to his senses, and laughed embarrassedly: "Madam, don't blame, you look a lot like a friend of mine, and Poor Dao lost his temper for a while." β
The general's wife bowed slightly: "This time, there are two Taoist chiefs, as long as I break the knot in my husband's heart, the little woman will definitely thank you heavily." β
Then she handed the letterhead in her hand to Cui'er: "You take the two Taoist chiefs directly to the barracks to see the deputy general, don't let the general know about this matter." β
Cui'er took the letterhead and agreed.
Wu Ming frowned slightly, this general's wife not only looks the same as Fang Nuan, but even her style of speaking and doing things is similar to Fang Nuan's, and she is generous.
"Let's go!" Ying Ning dragged the stunned Wu Ming, the two of them said goodbye to the general's wife, and then walked out of the warm pavilion with Cui'er.
Walking on the road, Cui'er didn't forget to joke Wu Ming: "Dao Chief, were you stunned when you saw the beauty of my wife, when she married in Jiangdu City, it was a sensation." β
Wu Ming shook his head and laughed twice, even if they are similar, they are two people from different worlds, don't be distracted by these things, let's concentrate on getting those two boxes of treasures.
All the way through the backyard, into the atrium of a water pavilion corridor, opposite the corridor a four-person sedan chair greeted her, Cui'er saw that her face suddenly changed, and pulled Wu Ming and Ying Ning to hide aside.
"The one in the sedan chair is that Meng'er, who swaggers in the city in a sedan chair all day long, and doesn't want to think about what his identity is!"
Wu Ming and Ying Ning hid aside, looking at the colorful sedan chair coming towards them, Ying Ning's body suddenly shook slightly, and quietly hid behind Wu Ming.
Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a little strange, Ying Ning seemed to be afraid, what was she afraid of?
At this moment, a roar was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and it suddenly exploded in the courtyard.
"Demon, suffer death!"
A figure like a giant crow swept over the courtyard wall and flew straight towards the sedan chair in the center of the water pavilion.
This person flew in the air, and the sword in his hand emitted a dazzling cold light, which made people shudder!
"Brother Yan!" Wu Ming was stunned on the spot.
It was none other than the bearded swordsman, Yan Chixia!
Where had the four servants who carried the sedan chair seen this kind of posture, they were immediately frightened and threw off the sedan chair and fled, leaving the colored sedan chair in the center of the corridor.
"There's an Assassin!
The soldiers patrolling around shouted and rushed towards the corridor, but they were too far away to stop them, and Yan Chixia was about to stab her sword into the sedan chair.
At the critical moment, the air in front of the palanquin suddenly rippled, and a completely transparent shadow jumped on the spot, facing the stabbing sword.
Dingββ!
There was a crisp sound of gold and iron, Yan Chixia in the air snorted, and the whole person fell backwards, losing his support and falling into the lake with a pop.
The soldiers around him suddenly swarmed up, and more than ten spears were aimed at Yan Chixia floating in the lake, ready to prick him with a chill at the slightest movement.
Yan Chixia floated in the water, reached out to wipe the water stains on her face, and turned her head to see Wu Ming.
"Brother Wu, such a coincidence, help me kill the demon in the sedan chair!"
Wu Ming was suddenly depressed, you have been caught and you have to pull me, can you grow your brains!
When the soldiers around heard Yan Chixia's words, the spears in their hands turned to Wu Ming and Ying Ning beside him.
"These two people are fellow assassins, take them all!"
