Chapter 149: Ambush
Hearing that Wei's mother's crying stopped, Li Xiuyuan felt a little better in his heart. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"The eldest young master, the whereabouts of that Chu Tian Chu Gongzi have not been found, and the younger one has also asked the old man who guards the city, and the second young master of the Chu family, Chu Tian, has not returned to the house yet. ”
At this time, a guard came over and said.
"I didn't find Chutian, didn't he go back to the city?" The sadness in Li Xiuyuan's heart flickered, and his face turned slightly cold.
"Do you want me to go and stand guard near the city gate, and I will shoot him with an arrow as soon as he comes. Xing Shan said in a suppressed voice.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It's a bit risky to do this, it's easy to expose yourself, and it's not cost-effective to put yourself on the line for this Chu Tian's life...... However, if this person is kept, he will definitely be a scourge in the future. ”
He pondered for a while and said, "Okay, try this last time, you go to the city gate to guard, waiting for an opportunity to find an opportunity, see if you can guard that Chu Tian back, it is impossible for him to spend the night outside the city as a rich son, but you must remember that you must not reveal your whereabouts and appearance." ”
"Yes, eldest young master, my subordinates know. ”
Xing Shan arched his hand, didn't say much, and immediately strode away.
After leaving, Li Xiuyuan ordered the two guards on the left and right: "You also go and watch Xing Shan, see if he can succeed, if he succeeds, take Xing Shan to Wangchuan Mountain to find Wu Fei to avoid the limelight, if not, come back together, and act at the opportunity, I estimate that the Chu family will also send someone to find that Chu Tian at this time, it is impossible for the Chu family not to care about Chu Tian's safety, so you still need to be careful." ”
"Yes. The two guards answered, and quickly left.
Li Xiuyuan said again: "Everyone else is tired today, let's go back and rest, by the way, tomorrow the two of you hire a carriage to send Wei Hu's mother to Guobei County, and let Wei's mother go to Guobei County to care for the elderly, this is what I promised Wei Hu." ”
"The little one was noted. Two of them answered.
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "There's nothing else, it's all gone." ”
Back in the backyard.
Fluttershy and Du Chunhua seem to have heard the sound of their young master coming back and are already waiting in the backyard.
Seeing Li Xiuyuan striding over, the two of them greeted him with joy.
"Young master, why did you come back so late when you went out to play today? Fluttershy says.
Du Chunhua also asked softly: "Young master, have you eaten dinner, and the slave maid will go to the young master to do it?"
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little better when he saw the two maids around him, and he smiled: "I haven't eaten dinner yet, Chunhua, go cook me a bowl of noodles, by the way, Fluttershy, you can help me find yellow paper, copper basin, I can use it." ”
"Yes, young master. ”
After hearing the order, the two maids left happily and began to go about the things that their young master had ordered.
However this time.
The city of Chu Mansion in Guobei City is not calm.
The guards, slaves, and servants in the Chu Mansion were all dispatched at this moment, and this group of people carried torches and lanterns and went out of the city.
"Hurry, keep up, the second son has not come back yet, the second son must be found tonight, who can find the whereabouts of the second son, the lord said, the reward is ten taels of silver, whoever is the first to find the second son will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver." A guard on horseback shouted.
I have to say that the speed of this ancient message is too slow.
The incident that happened in the afternoon was only now received by the Chu family and sent someone to look for it.
Soon, the guards, slaves, and servants of the Chu family all headed out of the city.
According to the previous rules, the city gate of Guo Beicheng had been closed at this time, but the Chu family was a local powerful and eunuch family, so the few soldiers guarding the city gate naturally would not give the Chu family face and directly made an exception to open the city gate.
"Yes, the people of the Chu family, they went out of the city to find Chutian. ”
Not far from the city gate, next to a closed tea shop, a few men hid there and did not leave.
"We are guarding here, if Chu Tian comes back, he will definitely pass through here. ”
Xing Shan held a pair of big bows, sat next to him, closed his eyes and recuperated, not in a hurry at all.
A man next to him smiled and said, "Xing Shan, do you have a grudge against that Chu Tian? Why do you always want to kill him, the eldest young master has said before, Chu Tian will kill him naturally, and if he can't kill him, he will give up, and this Chu Tian is also a local wealthy son, and killing it will also bring a lot of trouble." ”
"I don't know if there is trouble, I only know that I just entered the Li family, and I need to build a credit, Chutian is a potential trouble for the eldest young master, if I can solve it, the eldest young master will naturally not look down on me, and even if there is really an accident, I will not affect the eldest young master." Xing Shan said.
The two men paused for a moment, and then praised: "You are a loyal person, if Tie Shan is still there, he will definitely invite you to eat and drink." ”
"The people of the Chu family are here, and we are quiet. Xing said suddenly.
He saw hundreds of people coming out of the city with lanterns in the direction of the city gates, and then scattered along the roads.
About an hour or two later, the people of the Chu family were also smart, and they used hunting dogs to find taste, and finally found Chu Tian in a ruined temple outside the city.
However, when they found Chutian, the other person was already unconscious, and he was in a mess, his body was blue, and he seemed to have signs of poisoning.
"Oh no, the second son was bitten by a poisonous snake. ”
One of the guards was immediately shocked when he saw Chu Tian's foot swollen with poisonous snake bite marks on it.
There were already multi-colored insects and rats in the mountains, Chu Tian was frightened by the black tiger during the day, and he was so frightened that he was panicked and fled in all directions, so that he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, and at first he was fine, but then he was poisoned, and he fainted in this broken temple, if he was not found today, he would be a corpse tomorrow.
"Quick, take the second son back to the city to find the doctor. ”
The guards of the Chu family immediately lifted the unconscious Chu Tian and rode towards the city.
A team of men and horses rushed back to the city with the unconscious Chu Tian, but when they were about to reach the city gate, they immediately attracted Xing Shan's attention.
"The people of the Chu family found Chu Tian and now bring people back. ”
Xing Shan opened his eyes suddenly, and in the moonlight, he saw the embarrassed and unconscious rich boy lying on horseback.
"Do you want to do it?" said the man next to him in a suppressed voice.
"Of course. ”
Xing Shan's eyes froze, and he walked out of the darkness, the big bow in his hand was raised, and the bowstring of the four-stone strong bow was tight, making a creaking sound, it was hard to imagine that this somewhat emaciated man could have such strength to pull such a big bow.
"Huh~!"
An arrow flew through the air in an instant, but the sound was covered by the sound of horses' hooves, almost inaudible.
"Puff~!"
The arrow instantly fell on the unconscious Chu Tian on the horse's back, and even the good horse where the Chu family's guard was sitting was pierced by the arrow, and the arrow passed through a person and a horse, and pierced deeply into the ground next to it, and the horse lost its balance and fell directly to the ground with a scream.
"Phew, what's going on?"
The other Chu family guards hurriedly grabbed their horses and hurriedly asked.
"Be careful, someone is releasing dark arrows, quick, take the second son away, don't look for the archery shooter, that's a master, you are not his opponent." ”
The guard who fell to the ground hurriedly shouted, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he looked at the arrow that sank deep into the ground.
These are a few stone bows, and the bow power is so terrifying.
And as the guard of the Chu family, he naturally knows that the Chu family, as the strong man of Guo Beicheng, although the family is powerful, but there are many enemies provoked, who knows which enemy was found at this time, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.
"Let's go. ”
As soon as the others gritted their teeth, they didn't care who was shooting arrows in secret, they just grabbed Chu Tian, who was unconscious on the ground, and quickly left.
Xing Shan frowned, wanting to shoot another arrow.
However, the guards of the Chu family were also quite experienced, and they scattered their horses to protect that Chu Tian in the middle.
"Did you hit it?" said the man next to him.
Xing Shan said: "I was shot, but the horse was alarmed and avoided the vital point, I am afraid that I will not die." ”
"Enough, the eldest young master said, whether the thing is successful or not, we must retreat, so as not to put ourselves in it, since we have shot, then our task will be completed, let's go, the eldest young master has already arranged, let's go to Wangchuan Mountain to find Wu Fei, stay there for a while first, and avoid the limelight." ”
A man next to him said.
"That's all there is to it. ”
Xing Shan put down the big bow in his hand, and quickly left with the other two without saying a word.
He felt that since his arrow had been hit, even if he avoided the vital point, this Chu Tian would probably die.
"Drive, drive~!"
The guards of the Chu family rode wild on horseback, and took Chu Tian, who was injured and unconscious, and went straight to the Chu Mansion.
Listen to the faint sound of iron hooves in the distance.
In the study, Li Xiuyuan, who was origami, moved his eyes slightly, and looked up at the window: "Is it someone from the Chu family?" Coming back so early, it seems that he has found Chu Tian, but the sound of the iron hooves of these guards of the Chu family is very urgent, and it seems that something is wrong with that Chu Tian....... Could it be that Xing Shan and the others have already got their hands on it? If this is the case, it will solve one of my worries. ”
After speaking, he picked up the main pen next to him and sketched on the clothes folded on yellow paper.
In a short time, a yellow paper dress was made.
Fluttershy, put this in a copper basin and put it in the yard. Li Xiuyuan commanded.
"Okay, young master. ”
Fluttershy yawns and leaves with the copper basin.
"Alright, let's go back to sleep. ”
After the matter was done, Li Xiuyuan stretched his waist and took the two maids back to the room to rest.
I had just gone to bed and had not fallen asleep, when suddenly, a thunderclap sounded in the sky at night.
A flash of lightning flickered outside the courtyard, bursting into a burst of light, but it quickly vanished.
Fluttershy was startled and shrank into her young master's arms, "Master, why did a thunderbolt suddenly fall from the yard?" ”
Du Chunhua next to her also trembled and was frightened.
"It's okay, just sleep in peace. Li Xiuyuan patted them on the head and signaled them not to be afraid.
He knew that it was the Ghost Devouring Lei Gong who was taking the clothes.
In this way, the matter of agreeing to devour the ghost Lei Gong can be regarded as completed.
