As soon as he took a step, he heard a slight cough coming from inside. His voice was weak and feeble: "Don't, it's all in vain. I've said everything I can say. No, I can't say anything I can't even die." Said."
He didn't say anything, but walked closer with a candle in hand and saw Li Sheng's pale face.
Li Sheng also saw clearly the appearance of the person who came. He was dressed in night clothes, with a black scarf covering his face, only revealing a pair of dark eyes. He was a standard assassin. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Who are you? How did you get in?" He saw the killing intent and coldness in the eyes of the person who came, and he chuckled weakly: "You look like this, I'm sure you're not , are not here to save me."
The man said guiltily: "I'm sorry." With a slight wave of his hand, he took off the bag from his waist and waved it in front of Li Sheng.
Li Sheng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with endless sadness. He knew that his situation was over.
He smiled hoarsely: "We don't have much time, so there's no need to talk nonsense."
The man bowed deeply and saluted Li Sheng. This was his last respect for his fellow disciple.
Li Sheng opened his eyes and stared at his reflection in the man's eyes. His whole body was numb and motionless, and he did not avoid the man's stretched out hand.
The rough, calloused hand pinched Li Sheng's cheek, forcing him to open his mouth, and poured a packet of powder into his mouth. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva involuntarily, and the powder entered his throat, leaving a slight bitter taste.
He smiled bitterly: "No, I didn't expect that a whole body could be left. The Holy Lord is really not kind to me."
He felt waves of cramping pain in his abdomen, and he was covered in cold sweat from the pain. He gradually leaned against the wall without any strength, and his breathing gradually subsided. After a while, he closed his eyes.
The man felt Li Sheng's breath and checked his pulse. Then he sighed sadly, turned around and walked out.
The further he walked out, the heavier his heart sank. This errand went so smoothly that his heart kept wandering without any bottom.
When they walked to the hall, everyone was still lying on the food table, sleeping deeply.
He walked over slowly and carefully put the key back on Xu Xiangli. After concentrating for a moment, he walked around behind Xie Mengxia and raised the knife.
The tip of the knife swayed slightly, and the cold command on the blade reflected his struggling eyebrows.
Han Changmu lay opposite Xie Mengxia, his fingers trembling slightly.
The man hesitated for a moment, and the tip of the knife trembled even more.
After hesitating for a long time, he put the knife into his boot and slowly glanced at everyone.
He thought that since the errands were done neatly, there was no need to kill anyone anymore, so he might as well commit less murderous crimes.
He hesitated no longer, turned around and left the fort, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night without disturbing anyone.
He originally wanted to leave and return to Dunhuang, but there was something vital to his life in the wine shop that he had to take away. He entered the wine shop without stopping, bent down and got into the cold stable, and pried open a stone. , revealing the muddy soil.
He quickly dug up the soil and carefully took out a long and narrow iron box.
As soon as he got out of the stable, a sharp gust of wind passed by his ears. He quickly turned sideways and saw a faint light crossing his eyes, which just happened to cut off his face towel.
He was startled and was about to curse when he glanced at the person in front of him. His expression changed and he ran out of the wine shop, hoping to leave the place while the garrison was still awake.
At this moment, two translucent filaments suddenly appeared under his feet, silently wrapping around his ankles and back.
His body fell forward uncontrollably, and his face, no longer covered by a scarf, hit a piece of horse manure impartially.
With a "thud" sound, the horse dung was so frozen that it was as hard as a stone. It hit him so hard that his eyesight went black and blood gurgled from his nostrils.
"Oh, Ah Yao, how can you be so inhumane, beating people until they can be eaten by dogs?" Gu Chen smiled jokingly, revealing his white front teeth.
Yao Yao glanced at Gu Chen with disgust, curled his lips and said, "You are responsible for binding the person I beat."
"Okay, I'll tie it up." Gu Chen smiled and pulled out a smelly footwear from somewhere. Before the man could recover from his dizziness, he blocked his mouth and cut it behind his back. His hands were tied tightly,
Yao Yao weighed the long and narrow iron box, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Lao Gu, make a bet?"
Gu Chen's eyes narrowed: "What are you betting on?"
Yao Yao tilted his head and smiled: "I bet you a month's salary."
Gu Chen sneered and said, "My heart is really dark." He took the iron box, weighed it, and said, "There are letters inside."
When the man heard what Gu Chen said, he turned his head and sneered.
Yao Yao caught the change in the man's expression and raised his eyebrows: "There is a map inside."
The man's expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Yao Yao dumbfounded.
Yao Yao smiled: "Lao Gu, it seems that your salary is mine."
Gu Chen snorted, bent down and pinched the man's chin: "Where's the key."
The man stared at him viciously without making any sound.
Gu Chen didn't ask any more questions, and locked the man in a wine shop and handed him over to two garrison soldiers to take care of him.
After doing this, the two of them returned to the fort silently, lying on the food table and continuing to pretend to sleep.
It was not until dawn that these people woke up and discovered what had happened in the bunker, and there was a sudden panic in the garrison.
Zhu Rong hit his aching forehead hard and said with a look of horror on his face: "That, that, there is something wrong with that pot of mutton soup."
Xu Xiangli looked shocked and opened his mouth, unable to speak.
He originally didn't believe that the owner of the hotel was evil, but now that the facts were in front of him, he couldn't help but not believe it.
Han Changmu inspected the situation in the underground warehouse and dragged Li Sheng's body out. Without any careful inspection, just by looking at the bruise on his face, he knew that he had been poisoned.
His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he rubbed his sleeves with his fingertips, saying nothing.
Everyone could see that he was so angry that even Meng Sui and the others did not dare to come forward to cause bad luck and get scolded.
Just as these people were staring at each other and breathing heavily, the garrison who went to investigate the wine shop also came back, bowed and saluted: "Reporting to the garrison, the owner of the wine shop is missing, and all his clothes and money are gone." Gone."
Xu Xiangli slammed the food table and cursed angrily: "Damn it, you came under my nose and acted as a spy, I skinned him alive."
Zhu Rong shrank his neck, Xu Xiangli was very irritable today, and the Fifth Beacon today was not a kind place. After he had had enough wine and food, he had better hurry up and apply oil on the soles of his feet.
He stood up and said in a loud voice: "Brother Xu, I have been out for a day and a night. I can't worry about Feng Sui, so I will say goodbye and go back."
Xu Xiangli quickly apologized: "Brother Zhu, you see, this happened to the garrison, and it's really hard for me to keep you, brother."
Zhu Rong waved his hand nonchalantly: "We are all brothers. Brother Xu, please don't say that. Then, little brother, I will leave first."
Xu Xiangli sent Zhu Rong far away from the beacon, and when he returned to the fort, he saw Li Sheng lying on the ground, his face had returned to normal, and his chest was rising and falling slightly.
The owner of the tavern who was supposed to have escaped from the Fifth Beacon was suddenly lying on the ground, tied tightly and struggling very hard.
His face darkened, and he felt uneasy.
No matter how careless he is, he can clearly see who these people are guarding against.
He was stunned for a moment, walked to Han Changmu, lowered his voice and whispered: "Brother Han, Brother Zhu, is there something wrong with Zhu Rong?"
Han Changmu said calmly: "It's good that Guardsman Xu understands in his heart. Don't reveal any clues to him in the future."
Xu Xiangli staggered hard. He and Zhu Rong had known each other for nearly ten years. He thought they knew each other very well, but in the end they still didn't understand each other at all.
He nodded heavily and said word by word, "I understand."
Han Changmu calmly ordered: "Keep these two people in separate custody."
Gu Chen and Meng Sui dragged two people apart and locked them in the underground warehouse.
While they were talking, Wang Xian and the others returned to Fifth Feng with the shop owner and his family, and imprisoned them all separately.
Han Changmu rubbed his brows and remained quiet for a long time.
Yao Yao handed the long and narrow iron box to Han Changmu, bowed and said, "Sir, the owner of the shop dug this out of the stable."
Han Changmu nodded and gently covered the iron box with his hand, which was still covered with rough soil and smelled of earth.
He stretched out his hand to fiddle with the lock and sighed: "It seems that the things in this box are very important, and they use a machine lock."
Yao Yao lowered his eyes and said: "Yes, if the lock is opened by force, the items in the box will be automatically destroyed, so my subordinates do not dare to try to open the lock without authorization."
Han Changmu raised his eyelids and grinned half-smilingly.
Don't be ridiculous, he has seen her ability to open locks. Can't she open this kind of lock?
She was clearly being passive and slacking off.
He knocked on the iron box lightly and asked with interest: "You went with Gu Chen, didn't you two make a bet?"
Yao Yao looked at Han Changmu with ghostly eyes.
What kind of monster is this?
Gu Chen came out of the bunker and happened to hear Han Changmu's words. He smiled and said, "I gambled my salary for a month. I said it was a letter, and A Yao said it was a map."
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows: "I will add another month's salary to bet on the map."
Xie Mengxia watched the ants move for a long time in boredom. When he heard the word "bet", he suddenly raised his head and said, "I will also add a month's salary to gamble on the map."
"..." Gu Chen looked at the sky speechlessly. Is it really okay to blatantly bully the minority like this?
Xie Mengxia rubbed his hands and slapped his knees hard. He was not afraid of nightmares after seeing torture and confessions. He looked at each other with excitement and said with a smile: "Let's go get the key first and see what happens to this money." Who can it belong to?
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows: "We're going to see blood soon, are you sure you're not afraid?"
Xie Mengxia choked and nodded firmly: "As long as it doesn't splatter me with blood, there's nothing to be afraid of."
