In the early morning, the wind in the mountains was very strong, making the branches rattle.
Zhou Yu'an was tied up. When he woke up, his eyes were dark, and he could faintly smell the smell of blood. Just as she was about to move, the person next to her immediately pushed her: "Don't move, be honest."
It was a man's voice, and she even pictured in her mind the appearance of an unshaven, robber.
She was kidnapped. Where did Shen Chongming go?
Where is the sword wielder, where is Liao Wenbin?
He couldn't be so unlucky that he met King Qi's killer just after leaving Liulin Town, right?
Frowning, he touched the rope with his little fingers and confirmed that the other party was tied tightly and it would be difficult to break free for a while. My eyes were blindfolded, so I didn't know where I was.
The only thing that is certain is that the person who kidnapped her will not kill her for the time being.
When Zhou Yu'an heard the news, he felt that they were at the edge of the wind. The man behind him pushed her forward with a scabbard.
After walking an unknown distance, the group stopped.
"This is it, dig!"
It was Liao Wenbin's voice. It was different from what he heard before. There was a hint of coldness in his voice. Zhou Yuan listened intently, and Liao Wenbin stopped next to her.
There is a smell on Liao Wenbin's body. At best it sounds like the scent of ink, but at worst it smells like the smell of books that have been stored for many years. When you open them, you will find the smell of rotten pages that have been eaten by insects.
Right now, there is an extra hint of blood in this smell.
He was injured, not seriously.
A group of people were rummaging around, and after a while someone said, "I can't find it. Did I remember the wrong place?"
Liao Wenbin said: "It's impossible. That lunatic Liao Boqing made it very clear. It's here."
Zhou Yu'an heard the man say: "We have already searched through such a big place. Did you remember correctly?"
Liao Wenbin: "Are you questioning me?"
Zhou Yu'an couldn't see his expression, but felt that his voice was colder than the winter wind. She shook her head and felt something fall down. Sure enough, curses came from the other side.
"Liao Wenbin, how dare you push me?! Who do you think you are? Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
"Kill me, do you dare?" The bloody aura sank, and it was Liao Wenbin who walked up to the man: "Go and find something for me honestly. If I can't find you, I will die, and you must die in front of me. .”
With a bang, the man probably hit the ground.
What are they looking for? Looking for evidence left by Liao Boqing.
Who is the person with Liao Wenbin?
Are they from General Wu or from Beidi? Zhou Yu'an preferred the former, thinking that they were General Wu's people.
Then whose person is Liao Boqing?
The voice sounds like that of General Wu, but aren't General Wu and Beidi the same group? Could it be possible that General Wu and the Beidi people were simply cooperating for their own interests, and turned against each other after the defeat in Shuozhou?
It's possible, extremely possible!
Zhou Yu'an analyzed the current situation and moved his feet unconsciously. There was a sound of breaking wind in her ears, followed by an arrow passing by her. Before she could react, a dagger was placed across her neck.
"Shen Chongming, I know you are not dead, come out!"
Liao Wenbin was furious.
"If you don't come out, I will kill your sweetheart!"
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Yu'an stopped: "You can kill him if you want. Why do you say I am his sweetheart? Have you ever seen someone leave his sweetheart behind and run away?"
As if to confirm Zhou Yuan's words, another feather arrow shot through the air and scratched Liao Wenbin's shoulder.
"Look, let me tell you, I'm not his sweetheart at all."
"Shut up!" Liao Wenbin moved his knife forward. It could be heard that he was very nervous, and as the arrows gathered around him, the bloody smell in the air became thicker and thicker. His accomplices should have been almost killed. .
"Let me go, let's work together, and I'll help you kill Shen Chongming."
"Shut up!" Liao Wenbin shouted: "Shen Chongming, you forced me!"
Seeing that the dagger was about to cut Zhou Yuan's throat, Liao Wenbin fell straight to the ground with his eyes wide open. The dagger slipped from Zhou Yuan's neck and was held in the hand of Shen Chongming who had just arrived.
"How?" Shen Chongming asked, looking at the wound on Zhou Yu'an's neck, his eyes turned cold.
"Don't be hypocritical. You didn't save me just now, but now you show up." Breaking free from the rope, Zhou Yu'an checked Liao Wenbin's condition. "He got my anesthetic and couldn't speak for half an hour."
After saying that, he glanced at the killers lying on the ground. Almost all of them were killed with one arrow. It seemed that Shen Chongming was surrounded by more than one sword master.
Thinking of this, she quickly stood up and put the hairpin against Shen Chongming's throat: "You'd better give me an explanation!"
"Do you still remember what you asked Liao Wenbin in the City God's Temple? How could he, a scholar, be indifferent to the beheading of his beloved? There is only one answer. This is not the first time he has seen a dead person, and it is not the first time he has held a dead person in his hand. Beheaded."
Zhou Yuan frowned: "How do you know?"
"I don't know, but I know there is a counselor beside General Wu." Shen Chongming held Zhou Yu'an's hand: "This person acts in a low-key manner and is extremely secretive. No one knows his true identity except General Wu and his cronies. Naturally, I don’t know his identity, and I don’t know what he looks like. I asked Zhijian to check it. When General Wu was acting, the Liao family must have fur goods sent to Shuozhou. I had doubts about Liao Boqing and shopkeeper Liao, but it wasn’t until Liao Wenbin followed us into the carriage. , I was sure that he was the counselor beside General Wu, and the one who really wanted to assassinate Liao Boqing and obtain the physical evidence in his hands."
"Can't we catch him?"
"Afraid of alerting the enemy, the killers around him were already targeting us when we sneaked into Liao Mansion."
"Are you afraid of the killer and waiting for reinforcements?"
Zhou Yu'an asked with his eyes wide open, and was suddenly knocked by Shen Chongming. He said with rare tenderness: "The physical evidence left by Liao Boqing is very important. Shuozhou is still there, and so is General Wu. If there is no complete evidence, Shuozhou will lead a wolf into the house next time."
"so--"
"I went to get the evidence and asked the sword to guard you, but I didn't expect that the sword was the same as yours." Shen Chongming paused: "He thought that the helpless Liao Wenbin posed no threat to you, so he could pursue the killer with peace of mind. ”
Shen Chongming trusted the sword and left her alone in the carriage with Liao Wenbin.
Zhi Jian believed in her ability to protect herself and left her to chase the killer.
She believed in Shen Chongming and fell asleep even though she knew Liao Wenbin was untrustworthy. As a result, after leaving with the sword, she was set up by Liao Wenbin and held hostage here.
It's her own fault for co-writing.
Zhou Yu'an felt angry. After breaking away from Shen Chongming, he pressed the hairpin against her throat again: "Do you know that I almost died?"
"I know, I won't do it next time." Shen Chongming held her hand and let her hairpin scratch his throat. The hairpin was sharp and instantly drew a blood mark: "Are you still angry?"
"Angry, angry that my hairpin is not quenched with poison." Zhou Yu'an pursed his lips: "You have been back a long time ago and have been following us. If Liao Wenbin attacks me, will you kill him?"
Shen Chongming did not respond, but said lightly: "It's too risky, I won't do it again."
