Chapter 39
Yu Changyuan's voice spread far away, and a few pedestrians happened to pass by, and saw a bloody man lying in front of the Gu family's old shop, and there was a group of people holding swords next to him, so frightened that they ran away.
Yu Changchang jumped onto the roof and looked around. At this time, the smoke of cooking in Yong'an City is everywhere, but it is not as desolate as last night. It's just that pedestrians are still very few on the streets, and the whole city is frighteningly quiet.
Yu Changchang got off the roof and said to Li Qiufeng, Yan Dufei and the others: "The person who killed the fifth brother must be hiding nearby, we must not be left alone, otherwise we will definitely be poisoned by the other party." Yan Dufei glanced at Zhou Jingtian's body and said, "Let's transport Zhou Daxia's body back to the store first, and then make a plan." ”
After returning to the store, several people carefully examined Zhou Jingtian's body. Then a Zhuang Ding brought a basin of water, and Yu Changchang said while washing his hands: "The wound on the fifth brother's chest was stabbed with a sword, and the sword body is extremely wide. In the martial arts, only the long sword used by the Taishan faction is so wide, and the person who killed the fifth brother must be the Taishan faction. It's just that with the martial arts of the fifth brother, the ordinary Taishan sect disciples are not his opponents at all. And his wound was in the chest, and the opponent was not a sneak attack, but a frontal one. Among the Taishan faction, there are only masters like the five elders of Taishan who can defeat the fifth brother above board. It seems that the Taishan faction is pouring out this time, hehe, whether we can get out of this Yong'an City, it's really hard to say. ”
Li Qiufeng has never seen him so depressed since he knew Yu Yuan, even in the face of a brocade guard official like Yun Feiyang, although he was flattering and flattering, but in his cunning, he never hung his head at all, but at this time, his face was melancholy. Li Qiufeng couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
Zhu Ming said: "The second brother went to Tianmen alone, and I don't know ...... along the way."
Yu Changchang said: "The second brother is cautious and cautious, not as careless as the fifth brother, and he will be fine." What's more, this place is not far from the gate of heaven, and it is an official road, and there are granaries of the army along the way. ”
Zhu Ming nodded and said: "Big brother, our Five Tiger Villa has no suspicion of the Taishan faction, and the Taishan faction is also a famous and decent family in the rivers and lakes. Let's fight out of Yong'an City, turn back to Wuhu Villa, and then invite friends from the rivers and lakes to help and find the Taishan faction for revenge. If you stay here, you're afraid of ......"
Yu Changchang said: "Fourth brother, how could you never think of this trick as an elder brother? It's just that we are short of manpower now, if we leave Yong'an City, the Taishan faction ambushes on the way, and then we lose our ground, I'm afraid we can only end up with no bones left." At present, we are staying in this old Gu family's old store, and we can still resist it by virtue of the terrain. Yong'an City is still garrisoned by troops, and the Taishan faction does not dare to attack openly during the day, so we have a three-point advantage. Hmph, if we are in a hurry, let's set fire to this Gu family's old shop, burn Yong'an City to the ground, and fight with Taishan to break the net, and we will never let their conspiracy succeed!"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was shocked. Yu Changchang's plan is really vicious, if he sets the fire, no matter how many masters of the Taishan faction are, he is afraid that he will have to flee for his life, and then he can find a way to escape. It's just that tens of thousands of people in Yong'an City are pitied, and I'm afraid they will all die in the fire.
Yu Changchang turned his head to He Yi and said, "Third brother, is our gunpowder enough?"
He Yi said gloomily: "Big brother, don't worry, it's enough to burn three Yong'an Cities." Yesterday, I accidentally fell into the path of the Taishan faction, and I couldn't even use the thunderbolt. If they dare to come today, they will be blown to pieces. ”
Everyone knew that He Yi was good at using gunpowder, and the thunderbolt was extremely powerful, and the hanging heart was relieved a lot. Zhu Ming said: "Everyone knows the third brother's ability, and the younger brother will set up a few more organs, and the dog thieves of the Taishan faction will not come back!"
Li Qiufeng said: "Yu Daxia, let's stay here and don't move, I don't know the situation outside, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, I want to go out to find out the news, and by the way, go to the garrison barracks, go to see the commander who leads the team, and inform that there are robbers and murders in the city." Although these officers and soldiers are of little use, if they can be dispatched, the Taishan faction will also have some scruples. ”
Yu Changchang was overjoyed and said, "Then there is Brother Laoli." It's just that you have to be careful after you go out, and you don't have to entangle too much with the dog thieves of the Taishan faction, and you can come back after figuring out their purpose. It's just that this trip is dangerous, let the third child go with you. ”
Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "This old Gu family store is our foundation, and if you want the owner of the village to contribute here, it will be more convenient for me to go out alone, and Yu Daxia can rest assured." ”
He originally wanted to invite Yan Dufei to accompany him, but after thinking about it, with his long-term thoughts, he was afraid that he would suspect that the two wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, so it was better not to mention this matter, and both parties could settle at ease. He changed into a coarse cloth shirt, and wrapped the knife in a piece of cloth, which looked like a long burden, and then said goodbye to everyone and walked straight out of the door.
Li Qiufeng paced a few steps on the long street, thinking that He Yi was attacked in the east of the city last night, so he might as well turn east first to see if there were any enemies. So he walked down the long street to the east.
At this time, there were already people on both sides of the street setting up stalls to do business, Li Qiufeng bought a flatbread, and ate it as he walked, keeping an eye out for suspicious people around. After turning two street corners, you have reached the east gate of Yong'an City. Li Qiufeng turned around the city gate, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he turned north.
The north of the city is much more dilapidated than the east, many of the houses are deserted, the grass is overgrown, and flocks of crows sweep over the rooftops, making "wow-wow" calls.
Li Qiufeng walked into a long alley, on both sides of the alley were earthen walls more than one person high, but many places had collapsed and looked crumbling.
Suddenly, he stopped and held the cloth bag in his hand to his chest.
On a dead tree not far ahead, a white horse was tethered.
Li Qiufeng recognized this horse, which was the mount of the girl from the Murong family.
He cautiously walked a few steps forward, and found a black horse not far away, tethered to a half-dead willow tree, looking down for fodder on the ground.
Li Qiufeng leaned against the earthen wall, his eyes were like electricity, and he had scanned the surroundings in an instant. There is a house between the two horses. The house was quite large, and although it was somewhat dilapidated, it was much better than the houses next to it, which were mostly collapsed. If anyone lives, they must live in this house.
Li Qiufeng didn't dare to be careless, walked around the house, saw that there was no one around, turned to the back of the house, jumped on the wall lightly, leaned over and looked at the courtyard, only to see that the courtyard was so big, there was a pool on the left side, and there was a rockery in the pool. It's just in disrepair and weeds everywhere. In the past, this house must have been a large family, but it was later abandoned.
Li Qiufeng quietly jumped into the courtyard and listened attentively, as if someone was talking in the west wing. He did not dare to cross the courtyard, so he bypassed the back of the main house, hid directly under the back window of the west wing, and looked around to see if there was no one, and then poked his head out and looked into the house through the crack in the window.
At a glance, Li Qiufeng couldn't help but be taken aback.
I saw a large table in the middle of the room, and the girl from the Murong family was tied up and was sitting on a stool in front of the table. The hat on her head was gone, her long hair was scattered over her shoulders, a ball of cloth was stuffed in her mouth, and her eyes seemed to burst into flames. Ma Kongkong's daughter was also tied up like a rice dumpling and lay on her side on the ground.
The woman in white paced slowly around the room, smiling as she went: "Little girl, let's talk about it first, I'll take out the cloth from your mouth, and you don't scold people anymore! If your mouth is still not clean, don't blame my sister for being cruel, dip this cloth ball into the horse dung and horse urine at the door, and then stuff it into your mouth." If you agree to your sister, you may as well nod your head, and your sister will take out the cloth. ”
The girl glared at her, but did not nod.
The woman in white said with a smile: "Girls are born with a love of beauty, I don't think you dare to scold your sister anymore." Don't stare at me so viciously, my sister will be unhappy. ”
As she spoke, the woman approached the girl and reached out to take out the cloth from her mouth. The girl was also afraid that this woman would really get some filth, although her eyes were still glaring at the woman in white viciously, but she did not curse in her mouth.
The woman in white said, "Let me ask you again, who taught you your swordsmanship, and where is that person now?"
The girl took a sip and said, "I won't tell you about this goblin, just let me go if you know each other, and let's have a fair fight." I rescued you, but you secretly clicked on my acupoint, what kind of hero is it?"
The woman in white smiled: "I'm just a girl, what kind of hero is it?"
The girl didn't expect the woman in white to speak like this, so she was speechless for a while, so she had to turn her head to the side and stop looking at her.
