Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Gathering of the Officials

Liu Ping'er sat on the smooth stone pier on the side in front of the door, her eyes gradually dull.

Shen Mad and Chang Yuheng didn't want to bury the three corpses, they didn't have the tools or the need, they just took the corpses a little farther away and hid them, and didn't let Fluttershy see them until they left tomorrow.

On the way back, Shen Mad seemed to be preoccupied, Chang Yuheng followed slowly behind, and unconsciously said: "Brother Shen, we have all been to Zhufu, why has the fifth master never mentioned him, every time I get closer to him, I always panic, no one knows when he is angry." ”

Shen Mad sighed and said, "Now I see him a little scared, his coldness hides all emotions, his sword can wipe out everything he doesn't like, and Fluttershy will be in a desperate situation around him sooner or later." ”

Chang Yuheng also sighed, paused and said a little sneakily, "Brother Shen, can we get rid of him?" ”

Shen Madness smiled bitterly and continued, "No one can approach Fluttershy when he is not looking, he is already in the courtyard when I wake up, just staring at the place where the Three Heroes of the East River are hiding, he doesn't kill them, he doesn't drive them away, he just stands there, he doesn't let a trace of danger get close to Fluttershy, and we can't be the danger in his eyes, otherwise we will end up like the Three Heroes of the East River." ”

Of course, Chang Yuheng understood Shen Mad's words, and this was also tactfully telling Chang Yuheng that he couldn't do anything, and he didn't even have a chance to turn back.

Chang Yuheng nodded silently, he would take what Shen Mad said to heart, not only because Shen Mad was his big brother, and he was stable and experienced in the rivers and lakes, but also because he himself knew what serious consequences would be if he did something that threatened Liu Ping'er.

The corner of Shen Mad's eyes swept Chang Yuheng's sluggish and restless appearance, and he said unconsciously: "What's wrong Yuheng, are you worried that he will get out of control?"

Chang Yuheng came to his senses, smiled wryly and shook his head, worried that Liu Ping'er would lose control, that was a sign of fear.

Shen Madness smiled, and said meaningfully: "Let's go, we are not his enemies, maybe the real enemy is nearby." ”

Shen Mad had already walked away quickly, Chang Yuheng was stunned, and suddenly understood, and hurriedly chased after him.

Shen Mad and Chang Yuheng slowed down as they approached the courtyard, and when they saw Liu Ping'er sitting in front of Fluttershy's door, they hurried over.

When he came to Liu Ping'er's side, Shen Mad had already said: "The bonus has been issued, and the three heroes of Dongjiang are just anxious to stand forward, there may still be people lurking in this town at this time, we can't sleep, let Fluttershy and them sleep a little longer, and we will hurry before dawn." ”

Liu Ping'er didn't react much, and Chang Yu responded. Shen Mad paused and said, "Yuheng, let's go back to the room first, if there is anything, you can guard Fluttershy's house, and we will do the rest." ”

Chang Yuheng paused for a moment, then nodded in response, he knew in his heart that Shen Mad didn't want him to be in any danger with his martial arts.

Chen Xiong, Zhang Qiang, and Li Donghui took advantage of the night to quietly come to the edge of a small forest, followed by a young son, and the moonlight in the clouds poked out a ray of light in the gap between the flowing clouds. Under the faint light, the son who tiptoed lightly was the young master of Green Jade Villa and Peng Qingyu who caused trouble with Tang Fei and others in the restaurant.

Chen Xiong had already come to the place where Shen Mad and Chang Yuheng had stopped, and Li Donghui said softly: "Brother Chen, this is probably here, I don't dare to follow too closely, for fear that they will hear it." ”

Chen Xiong turned around and saw that Peng Qingyu had also come over, so he whispered, "Master Peng, you wait here, let's go to the forest to have a look." ”

Peng Qingyu seemed a little reluctant, and he didn't say anything after all. Chen Xiong saw these in his eyes, and then said: "Zhang Qiang, you accompany Peng Gongzi here!"

Zhang Qiang responded, Peng Qingyu was also relieved, Chen Xiong and Li Donghui had already stepped into the forest.

After a while, the two came out of the forest, Chen Xiong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, it's the three heroes of Dongjiang." ”

Peng Qingyu sighed in his heart when he heard this, although he was prepared, his horror was indescribable, at this moment, Zhang Qiang had already held his arm and said softly: "Peng Gongzi, let's go back quietly, don't disturb the murderer, call someone to bring back the bodies of the three heroes tomorrow." ”

When Peng Qingyu heard the word murderer, Liu Ping'er's cold and life-threatening appearance lingered in his mind and appeared in front of him, so he didn't care about the corpse of Dongjiang Sanjie in the wild, and followed Chen Xiong and others to the southern suburbs softly.

Shen Mad sat on the chair, leaning back in the chair and closing his eyes in contemplation, he had already seen that those young people in the restaurant should be the children of some local wealthy families, but he couldn't figure out why the bonus came so quickly!

Liang Jiu, Shen Mad slowly got up, came to the window and looked out, Liu Ping'er sat there and never moved a bit, Liu Ping'er not only gave people a cold, he himself was like a stone carving, he could always be nailed in one place, at least Shen Mad looked at Liu Ping'er and felt so in his heart.

Chen Xiong took a few people back to a wooded path in the southern suburbs, and kicked and stepped out of the forest with an iron armor, Chen Xiong was busy coming, and this iron armor was the hundred households of the Hanzhong garrison military camp with Chen Xiong and other dozens of fast catchers and officials. Mrs. Xu's letter of request to transfer to the barracks, the official family is already a family, Mrs. Xu is a person and a friend, and when he makes friends, he is far better than the enemy, so he has a very good relationship with the thousands of households guarding the city, and the letter arrives, and the thousand households immediately recruit a sergeant of a hundred households cavalry formation, and accompany Chen Xiong out of the city to chase the murderer, and the head of the hundred households and Liang Qiyun came by order, and did not dare to venture here to wait for Chen Xiong to spy on the situation.

Chen Xiong's official position should be the same level as the head of the hundred households, but he honorifically said: "Lord Liang and Dongjiang Sanjie have been killed, and their bodies are discarded in the forest in the distance." ”

Liang Qiyun was taken aback and asked unconsciously: "What?"

Chen Xiong had no choice but to report again: "The three heroes of the Dongjiang River we sent to listen to the news in the vicinity have all been killed, and their bodies are left in the forest over there. ”

Liang Qiyun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Who is this helping, why didn't the secret agents we sent nearby send news, didn't there even make a sound when the Dongjiang Sanjie was killed?"

Chen Xiong continued: "It shouldn't be, Donghui was also nearby, I didn't hear the fight, and I didn't notice it until they came out to discard the corpse." ”

Liang Qiyun Xu was a little scared in his heart, and said strangely in a different way: "Why haven't the reinforcements from the Ningqiang Land Realm arrived yet?"

Chen Xiong knew that this was Liang Qiyun's speech, but he still continued: "Lord Liang, they are almost here, and dozens of officials from all over the country have gathered horses and gathered to set off together. ”

Liang Qiyun Chen Xiong has always been so humble and respectful, he is not good at getting bigger everywhere, turned over and dismounted, and said to Chen Xiong: "Brother Chen, this murderer is so terrible, we can't rush forward, you have been running for so long, we can rest in peace, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive before discussing tracking or attacking!"

Brother Chen smiled and continued: "Lord Liang is right, Dongjiang Sanjie also has some reputation, but let them kill quietly, this is a tough battle, we can't act alone." ”

Liang Qiyun nodded, and the two sat down on the side of the road, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

More than an hour has passed since the sound of the fifth watch, Shen Mad may be too tired, leaning on the back of the chair to fall asleep, the fifth watch gong sounded and then woke up, so far, although tired but did not fall asleep again, came to the window, Liu Ping'er has returned to the room, Shen Mad knew that Liu Ping'er did not sleep, even in the room, there was some wind and grass outside, the first to stand in the courtyard must be Liu Ping'er.

Shen Mad had already left the room and came to Chang Yuheng's room, but Chang Yuheng couldn't stand the fatigue and torture, and fell asleep on the back of the chair.

Shen Mad came to Chang Yuheng's side, and woke Chang Yuheng softly, perhaps because the night incident made his nerves tense, Chang Yuheng unconsciously let out an exclamation that was not too loud when he got up, and saw Shen Mad waking up at this time, slowed down his breath, and did not feel a bitter smile, Shen Mad also smiled bitterly, this way did make Chang Yuheng tired, a moment of rest, Chang Yuheng sat up, just sat up, and his eyes swept to the silent Liu Ping'er standing at the door.

Shen Mad looked at Chang Yuheng and guessed that Liu Ping'er was outside, but when he turned around, Liu Ping'er had slowly left the door, and nothing happened here.

Shen Mad looked at Chang Yuheng again, and said: "Yuheng, let's go outside to take a look, if there is no danger, let's set off later, staying here for a while longer is a bit of danger, the hanging list bonus has been issued, we will definitely leave clues to follow when we go out of the city, at least the city will catch up quickly." ”

Chang Yu responded, got up slowly, stretched a few times before following Shen Mad out, Liu Ping'er did not go back to the room, and looked at Dongfang Chenxing faintly, wanting to find a way back.

Shen Mad and Chang Yuheng came to Liu Ping'er's side, and Liu Ping'er had come back to his senses and looked at Shen Mad .

Shen Mad whispered, "Ping'er, let's hurry later, you guard, Yuheng and I will go to the neighborhood first, and if there is no danger, come back and ask Fluttershy to hurry together." ”

Liu Ping'er nodded, Shen Mad and Chang Yuheng came out of the wall, they didn't have time or need to go around to inspect whether there was an ambush, all they wanted to see was whether there was an ambush on the way to go, whether there were officials to investigate, Shen Mad judged from experience that there would definitely be officers and soldiers in the town at this time.

Liu Ping'er was already sitting on the edge of the runjing stone platform, the roller leak bucket floated in the well, reflecting Liu Ping'er's blurred face on one side, the morning breeze sent a cool coolness to make people sober, but it couldn't break the well water like a mirror.

Liu Ping'er's sleepless fatigue last night was blown away by the morning breeze, and she was sober but still caught in the thinking of tomorrow's long-distance crisis, so sluggishness appeared on Liu Ping'er's face and eyes again and again, there was no very, no resentment, no sorrow, no joy, everything was silent.

Shen Mad and Chang Yuheng moved as little as possible without making any sound, Shen Mad could only rely on judgment to find a place to hide, and after a while, the two of them had left the inn for four or five hundred meters, and the catch was as fast as Shen Mad thought, and the eyeliner that was lurking in two places on the road to monitor their movements had been quietly removed by Shen Mad , and this was almost close to the main road out of the town to continue south, and suddenly, Shen Mad raised his hand to signal.
