Chapter 13: The Plan Fails
The moonlight poured into the courtyard like water, his long white hair shone in the moonlight, and layers of sweat oozed from his strong muscles. With the sound of banging on the plum blossom pile, a hand suddenly appeared on Zai Junhao's right shoulder, as if it appeared out of thin air, and after a while, a person appeared behind him. The man was dressed in white and his hair was scattered, and his eyes were red in the moonlight, this was not that Lu Ziang. Zai Junhao felt that there was someone behind him, and the instinct of the battlefield was to raise his right hand and elbow him backwards, and there was a click of dislocation of bones from behind, indicating that he had hit, Zai Junhao jumped up and turned around, his tall body blocked part of the moonlight, and his left hand grabbed Lu Ziang's skull like an eagle's claw and pressed it to the ground, with a loud bang, the person who grabbed his hand did not move!
Whoosh, several dead men in Tsing Yi ran from all directions in the courtyard, all kneeling down on one knee, and one of them said loudly, "My lord, forgive me!" It was a subordinate who was negligent in his duty and let a mouse in. ”
"This person is so powerful, the old man didn't even notice that he had entered the courtyard!" Zai Junhao lifted the person in his hand and brushed his hair, Zai Junhao frowned, "It's actually Mr. Jianghu, did he throw himself into the net? Or do you want to assassinate the old man? A scholar should not be stupid enough to think that he can assassinate a veteran, or maybe lock him up first." You go and call Chen Pei back, and let him investigate this matter tomorrow!" Zai Junhao picked up the clothes on the stone table, draped them on his body and walked into the room, and the rest of the dead soldiers began to get busy.
"Knock knock, There was a knocking sound on the dark red wooden door, Qiao Chenpei, who was already lying on the couch, turned over and got up, picked up his sword, put on his coat and walked to open the door, only to see a dead soldier standing outside his door.
"What's going on? Qiao Chenpei's face was full of doubts.
"No! the hall master has something important to order!"
"Oh, it's a big deal to be in such a hurry, let's hear it!"
"Yes, an assassin came to Junzaitang at night and wanted to assassinate the hall master..."
"What!" Qiao Chenpei ran out when he heard this, got dressed as he ran, and left the barracks after a while.
"General, General, you listen to me, eh, anyway, you have to go back. The dead man in Tsing Yi shook his head and turned to chase after him.
Before the horse could stop, Qiao Chenpei rolled over from the horse, ran in, handed the reins to the doorman, and told the doorman to help him tie the horse. After entering the gate and bypassing the front hall, he came to the main hall, and saw Zai Junhao drinking tea in the hall from a distance, and his expression did not seem to have changed.
"My lord, please forgive my sins! My lord's body is injured?" Qiao Chenpei knelt down on one knee, arched his head and looked around at Zai Junhao.
"Haha! Get up, Chenpei, did you rush over without listening to your subordinates!" Zai Junhao seemed to have expected what Qiao Chenpei was already here.
"This. When his subordinates heard that there was an assassin in the house, they were worried about the lord, so they hurried here. Qiao Chenpei seemed to scratch his head a little embarrassed.
"The assassin has been caught, so you don't know who the assassin is?" The smile on Zai Junhao's face quickly retracted, as if he was observing Qiao Chenpei's expression.
"The subordinates don't know?" Qiao Chenpei did not have any suspicious performance.
"You know this guy too! Jae Jun-ho still hasn't stopped watching.
"Those who dare to come to the Junzai Hall to assassinate adults, their subordinates really have no clue!" Lu Ziang fell into deep thought.
"It's Mr. Jianghu a few days ago!"
"That sour scholar?" Lu Ziang was a little surprised.
"Yes, but now that I think about it, it may not be an assassination, he put his hand on the old man's shoulder, maybe he just wanted to talk to the old man, but as soon as the old man reacted, he was already lying on the ground! Hahaha! Chen Pei, you go and see if the gentleman is awake, if he wakes up, ask him how he came here without being noticed!"
"Yes, my subordinates will retire for the time being!"
Qiao Chenpei came to the dungeon, ordered the guards to wait at the door, just came to the staircase, vaguely heard someone whispering inside, after walking a few steps, the whisper disappeared, and after a while, the ghost-faced monk walked out of it, and glanced at Qiao Chenpei coldly, "The general is back really fast!
"That's the duty, I wonder what your Excellency is here for?" Qiao Chenpei was a little wary.
"It's nothing! I just can't sleep and come here to wander around, see what this assassin looks like, general, please!"
Qiao Chenpei hurriedly walked inside, there were many prisoners in this dungeon, and there was a bucket poured outside the innermost cell, which was locked up by Lu Ziang, who was wringing the water in his coat at this time, and the palm print on his neck was very obvious.
"Master, have you just been forced to ask?" Qiao Chenpei walked to the door and took a closer look, the palm print seemed to be smaller than Zai Junhao's handprint, it should be the palm of the Gang Ghost Face Monk.
"General Qiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, isn't the general here to kill you?" Lu Ziang didn't raise his head, still wringing the water in his clothes.
"Master, where do you say this, as long as the master clarifies the doubts one by one, the final general will be the main force of the hall to protect the master's life. ”
"General, it's really hot as fire!" Lu Ziang looked up at Qiao Chenpei's eyes were not nonsense, and said with a smile, "It's just that there is not only fire in this place, but also bone-eating ice, if the general is a step late, Xiao Sheng is afraid that he has already drunk Meng Po soup! As for Xiao Sheng's doubts, the general might as well talk about how many there are, Xiao Sheng will see if he can answer them for the general!"
"Then I'll tell you straight! The master went down to find that Fan Li, and painted the portrait of the big thief, but is it true?" Qiao Chenpei's tone became a little anxious.
If the general has a preconceived judgment, then does it matter?" Lu Ziang seemed to have almost squeezed out his clothes, and smiled while rolling up his sleeves.
"Master, is this an evasion?" Qiao Chenpei frowned, and some complicated emotions welled up in his heart.
"Xiaosheng has already answered, and the answer is in the general's heart!"
"Let's just talk about the night, how did the master avoid the eyes and ears of so many elites and come to the backyard?"
"No comment!" Lu Ziang said with a smile and a long voice.
"What does the master want to do when he comes to Junzaitang? Qiao Chenpei was a little anxious out of breath.
"No comment!" Lu Ziang said with a long voice still smiling.
"Huh~~" Qiao Chenpei was speechless for a long time and took a deep breath, "I really want to help the master, I don't want an innocent person to be punished, and naturally I don't want a guilty person to escape punishment! If the master doesn't cooperate, he may die, you know? I hope you think about it!"
"General!"
"What?" Qiao Chenpei was a little overjoyed, did this Lu Ziang change his mind?
"If you have time, don't tell anyone, you might as well go to the back mountain of Mananzhuang, dozens of miles west of the city! After speaking, Lu Ziang turned around and stopped looking at him.
"Hmph!" said the inexplicable words from the last separation, Qiao Chenpei flicked his sleeves and walked out of the dungeon a little angrily.
The night passed, Qiao Chenpei thought about it and still had to ask something from this Lu Ziang's mouth, he had to give an explanation to the adult, turned over and got up, took some leftovers from last night from the kitchen, heated them up, picked up a jar of wine and walked to the dungeon. Walking to the entrance of the dungeon, Bangbang bangbang Qiao Chenpei didn't say much, he went straight to the innermost, and when he walked to the innermost, Qiao Chenpei was dumbfounded, the cell door was tightly locked, and the cage was already empty. Qiao Chenpei hurriedly walked to the cell head, and smashed the table with an angry palm, "Wait for the two of you, what are you going to do!" The two cell heads were startled, touched their keys and still there, and didn't know what happened to provoke General Qiao to be so angry. After investigation, the two cell leaders were supposed to work in shifts at night, but they have been safe and sound in the past few years, so the two of them locked the door at night and slept by themselves, and they didn't know when this person escaped from prison. I asked all the prisoners in the prison, only the nearest prisoner was the one who was closest to him, and while reciting the scriptures, he muttered, "This is the manifestation of the Da Luo Immortal! In the middle of the night, the door of the Immortal's cell opened by itself, and the Great Immortal disappeared out of thin air! Then the door closed and locked itself, it must be the Immortal Manifestation! The Immortal blessed! The Immortal blessed!"
Qiao Chenpei listened and fell into deep thought, "No one has noticed this situation, this is a .....!" Is this Lu Ziang black or white?"
