Chapter 231: Female Assassin

The wooden attic where the wing house is located is built in the northeast corner of the small courtyard, and from the back hall to the attic, you have to walk through a bluestone paved path. There are no trees or flowers on both sides of the path, and it can be said that this road is the emptiest area in the entire backyard.

The rooms below the attic were mostly dark and closed, with only two rooms in the dim candlelight from the windows.

Under the guidance of the maidservant, Liu Wei and Guan Qing passed by the door of this row of rooms, and a woman's painful and joyful moans came from one of the rooms. Hearing this moan, which was sometimes short, sometimes long, sometimes high-pitched, and sometimes swallowing like a sob, Guan Qing's pretty face flushed with shame, and he couldn't help lowering his head, pursing his mouth tightly, and his stride under his feet also quickened a little, as if he wanted to move away from the house where the beautiful moaning came from quickly.

Leading to the second floor of the attic is a wooden ladder raised high on the far left of the house, and when the ladder is near, the maidservant girl stands sideways and says to Liu Wei and Guan Qing: "Two gentlemen, please go upstairs, the second room on the left hand is the guest room of the two." ”

"Thank you, girl!" Nodding to the maidservant, Liu Wei took the lead in climbing the ladder, holding the edge of the ladder with both hands, stepping on the pedal, and slowly climbed towards the attic.

When Guan Qing also went up the ladder, the maid standing aside glanced at the dancer. The dancer nodded knowingly, and the restraint in her previous expression dissipated in an instant, and was replaced by a cold face.

At the same time, at the door of the back hall where Liu Wei and Guan Qing had just enjoyed the singing and dancing, the woman who led the two into the back hall was standing side by side with Gongsun Xu, who was wearing a linen robe, outside the door.

"The things entrusted by the general have been completed by the slave family." Looking at the attic where Liu Wei and Guan Qing went, the woman whispered to Gongsun Xu: "The attic is surrounded by open space on all sides, there are few trees, and once someone leaves, they will definitely be discovered." ”

"It's hard work!" Turning his head to look at the woman, Gongsun Xu had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to her: "The former general will definitely not forget your merits. ”

"It's just that the slave family is very uneasy!" First, he bowed slightly to Gongsun Xu and blessed him, and then the woman said to him: "Before King Hongnong went to the attic, he only let Dong Niang accompany him. That Guan Qing is also very good, the two of them work together, I'm afraid Dong Niang ......"

"To raise you and wait is to play a role in a critical time!" Glaring at the woman, Gongsun continued to say angrily: "If you can't even deal with Guan Qing, what's the use of leaving you waiting?" ”

With that, he flicked his sleeve and turned to walk towards the antechamber. was reprimanded by him, and the woman bowed deeply, although she was facing the direction of Gongsun Xu's departure, she didn't even dare to raise her head.

On the other side, Liu Wei went up to the attic and did not immediately enter the house.

He stood in the wooden hallway outside the room, holding on to the railing with both hands, observing the nearby landscape. Soon he discovered a very serious problem, the front and both sides of this attic are the most open areas in the courtyard, once he and Guan Qing go down to the attic, their whereabouts will immediately be discovered by the Jizhou army who is secretly monitoring them.

Frowning slightly, Liu Wei silently pushed open the door of the second room on his left hand, first muttered to Guan Qing, and waited until Guan Qing entered the room before he followed his feet into the room.

The last one to go upstairs was the Dong Niang mentioned by the woman when she continued to talk to Gongsun. Ascending to the attic, Dong Niang stood outside the house, watching Liu Wei and Guan Qing enter the house, a pink fist clenched tightly, and a touch of murder flashed in her beautiful eyes in an instant.

If Liu Wei pays attention to Dong Niang's clenched fist at this time, he will find that her fist is flat, not like ordinary people clenching her fist, and her knuckles will be beveled.

People have this kind of fist, mostly when they practice martial arts, their fists are caused by beating wooden stakes.

With Liu Wei's previous experience as a special forces, as long as he looked at Dong Niang's fist, he would immediately notice that she was different from ordinary dancers.

But Liu Wei was thinking about how to leave this attic at this time and successfully escape from Yuyang, so as to get rid of Gongsun Zhan's control, and he didn't have much time to think about following up with the delicate dancers in the house.

After entering the room, Liu Wei walked straight to the opposite window, stood by the window and looked out.

Sure enough, as he expected, the direction of the window was also a very open area, and at this time he was completely sure that when he went to the attic, no matter which direction he and Guan Qing left from, they would be discovered by the person in charge of surveillance.

Following Liu Wei and Guan Qing into the house, the thing that may be holding was caught in the palm of the hand, the hand that Dong Niang was holding tightly loosened slightly, and at the moment when her palm was just released, a little metallic luster reflected a small light under the reflection of the candlelight.

Standing by the window, Liu Wei observed the terrain outside the window, and just turned around, he happened to see a metallic luster flashing in Dong Niang's hand.

Seeing the metal reflection, Liu Wei was speechless, and his gaze swept very quickly over Dong Niang's clenched fist.

With this sweep of his eyes, Liu Wei's heart suddenly sank.

He clearly saw Dong Niang's clenched fists, and the fist surface was on a flat plane. Reminiscent of the previous Winter Niang dancing with her legs high, the slender jade legs faintly showed the outline of some muscles.

The woman in front of her is by no means an ordinary dancer, she has practiced martial arts, and her martial arts do not seem to be weak.

"Guan Qing, come here!" Seeing that Dong Niang had practiced martial arts, Liu Wei had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and he hurriedly beckoned to Guan Qing and called her.

Guan Qing, who was still a little ignorant, didn't know that the dancer who entered the room with them was actually a good hand, and walked over to Liu Wei with a blank face.

But the route she chose was not to bypass Dong Niang and approach Liu Wei from the other side, but to pass straight in front of Dong Niang.

"Be careful!" As soon as Guan Qing arrived in front of Dong Niang, Liu Wei suddenly shouted, jumped at Dong Niang, raised his foot and kicked at Dong Niang, who had already waved his arm and wanted to use the sharp little sword in his hand to pierce Guan Qing.

This kick was fierce and ruthless, and Liu Wei's heel was kicking the waist of Zhongdong Niang. As soon as she waved the small sword in her hand and was about to pierce Guan Qing's neck, Dong Niang only felt that the weakness on her waist was as if she had been smashed by a heavy hammer, staggered to the side and took a few steps back, and sat on the ground.

Kicking Dong Niang to the ground, Liu Wei pulled out his long sword, jumped in front of her, pointed the tip of the sword at her throat, and asked coldly: "Who are you?" ”

Dong Niang, who was kicked and sat on the ground, raised her face, glared at Liu Wei with resentment, gritted her teeth and said: "I know that she is a yellow turban female thief, my parents and brothers in the family all died at the hands of the yellow scarf, today I wanted to get rid of her, but I was blocked, I have no life to remember, I just want to die quickly!" ”

After saying a word coldly, Dong Niang twisted her face to the side and didn't look at Liu Wei again.

The long sword was pointed at Dong Niang's throat, and Liu Wei frowned tightly. Subconsciously told him that things were not as simple as Dong Niang said, but now that he was above the attic, it was still unclear how many of Dong Niang's helpers were below, even if he could torture Dong Niang to extract a confession, this place was by no means the best place.

Just when Liu Wei pointed at Dong Niang with a long sword and was thinking about what to do with her, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps from under the attic, and then a group of people climbed up the attic along the ladder and stepped on the stairway.

"Your Highness!" The group of people rushed to the attic, and the leader reached out to push open the door, and plunged into the house, seeing Liu Bianzheng pointing at Dong Niang who was sitting on the ground with a long sword, and hurriedly clasped his fists and accused: "We are derelict in our duties, causing the assassin to pretend to be a dancer, and almost put His Highness in danger, it is really a crime that deserves death!" ”

Following this person upstairs is a group of Jizhou soldiers wearing the people's deep clothes, the group of soldiers stood outside the house, after the person who entered the house finished speaking, all of them held the long sword that had been unsheathed in both hands, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the foot, and said to Liu Wei in the house: "I am derelict in my duty, and I deserve death!" ”

"The assassin pretended to be a dancer, and he couldn't prevent it, what kind of crime are you!" Seeing that it was a group of Jizhou soldiers who were responsible for protecting him and Guan Qing, Liu Wei withdrew his long sword and said to the person who entered the house: "Take her away, so you can torture her, who is the one who instigated it!" ”

"No!" The man standing beside Liu Wei in the room answered with his long sword in his hand, tilted his head to the group of soldiers outside the door, and shouted to them, "Take the assassins away quickly!" ”

Two soldiers walked into the house in response, one twisted one arm, and carried Dong Niang out of the room.

Seeing that Dong Niang was escorted out of the room by two soldiers, the man standing in the room clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei and Guan Qing: "Your Highness, Miss Guan, there is an assassin here, and the villain will definitely report to the former general." Tonight, I also invite His Royal Highness and Miss Guan to return to the house to rest! Just in case! ”

Originally, he planned to take the opportunity of going out to the song and dance workshop for recreation to escape, but after this trouble, Liu Wei's plan had completely come to naught, so he had to nod, waved his hand to the man, and said to him: "Lead the way in front of the head and return to the former general's mansion!" ”

"No!" The man answered, stood sideways to the door, made a gesture of invitation to Liu Wei and Guan Qing, and said, "Your Highness, Miss Guan, please!" ”

Liu Wei and Guan Qing, surrounded by a group of plainclothes Jizhou soldiers who were responsible for protecting them, escorted the captured Dong Niang and left the song and dance workshop.

And in a small room under the attic, the woman who had spoken to Gongsun Xu earlier stood facing the window, looking at the back of Liu Wei and Guan Qing leaving, and said to a few people behind her: "The former general ordered us to deal with the yellow turban female thief next to King Hongnong, but we not only failed to complete the entrustment, but caused Dong Niang to be captured, you say, how should this matter be handled?" ”

When she said this, the woman's expression was not at all as respectful as when she had entertained Liu Wei and Guan Qing before, and her slightly rough skin showed endless coldness, and anyone who looked at her at this time couldn't help but shiver.

Standing behind her were several men and women in dark clothes, and when the woman asked them what to do, several people looked at each other, and then a young man about twenty years old strode forward, and said to the woman standing opposite the window with his fists in front of him: "Miss Qiyu Gui, that King Hongnong has quite a trick, Dong Niang was captured, if he interrogated him, he would definitely bring out the former general, and his subordinates thought it was ......."

"What do you think?" Listening to the young man's words, the woman called Gui Girl turned around and asked him coldly.

"The subordinates think that they should be guarded by the Jizhou Army and rescued as soon as possible." The young man clasped his hands into fists, and said to Miss Gui with a little apprehension in his expression: "If the rescue fails, then there is only ...... Kill! ”
