In the woodshed, both Li Yu and Xiaolan heard the sound of fighting outside the door, but the door of the woodshed was locked and there were no windows on all sides, so they didn't know what happened.
Li Yu smiled and said, "Could it be my father who came to save me?"
When Xiaolan heard what Li Yu said, she felt a little hopeful and said, "That would be great."
However, after a while, the fighting outside the door gradually stopped, and then there was no movement, making the two of them happy in vain.
Xiaolan said: "It's okay. It will get dark soon, and you can go out to find your family."
"Well! I will definitely come back to you when the time comes."
Xiaolan grabbed Li Yu's hand and said, "Don't forget me." Originally Xiaolan had already accepted her fate, but after Li Yu said it, she decided not to forget her. She felt dissatisfied! She wanted to go out, and she wanted to ask her mother face to face if she could really abandon herself for her brother.
Outside the woodshed, Guard Wang stood up, looked at the others, and then looked at the direction in which the man had just escaped, and said: "You should disperse first, and go to your respective guarding places to check if anyone has thrown anything." thing."
When Butler Li saw that the group was about to disperse, he ran over cursing: "Why are you going? Why don't you hurry up and chase after you! Damn it! Why do we feed you!"
After Wang Guard heard this, he glared at Butler Li. Butler Li was stared at and felt a little guilty, and said, "What are you looking at! You are their leader, so you are responsible for the safety here."
Wang Huwei asked back: "What happened to that person?"
Butler Li coyly told her everything from cleaning the room in the backyard to coming to the kitchen in the front yard with her third sister.
Guard Wang said coldly: "Where is the eldest sister? I want to see her."
"If you don't go after someone! Why are you looking for eldest sister?"
Wang Weiwei's eyes became more ferocious, "Where is eldest sister?"
When Butler Li saw Guard Wang's expression, he was a little scared and said, "It's in the accounting room in the backyard."
After hearing what Butler Li said, Guard Wang ignored Butler Li and went directly to the accounting room in the backyard. There were two people guarding the door. The two of them were strong, with sharp eyes, and they both had swords on their waists. They were like two statues, motionless. The two men acted as if they had not seen the appearance of Wang Guard, and still stood motionless without making any reaction. Guard Wang knocked on the door and said, "Sister."
"come in."
Guard Wang pushed open the door and walked in. The eldest sister was sitting at the table looking at the account book and did not even raise her head to look at Guard Wang. After a while, the eldest sister said, "Tell me what happened."
"Someone pretended to be one of us and slipped in."
"What about others?"
"Ran."
"Did you lose anything?"
"I've already asked my men to investigate."
"How did you do this? Sneak in and no one knows?"
"Sister, this person should have come in from the backyard. I heard from Butler Li that he dressed up as one of us and worked in the backyard, and then followed the third sister from the backyard to the front yard."
When the eldest sister heard this, she immediately put down the account book in her hand, raised her head and said, "Impossible. The people guarding the backyard are not as good at martial arts as you. How could they sneak in without anyone knowing about it?"
Wang Guard walked over and whispered to the eldest sister: "Eldest sister. If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Zhao Ji."
"Zhao Ji! Zhao Ji, one of Wang Jien's four killers back then!"
"Exactly."
"Are you sure?"
"I worked under the prince for a period of time, and I had a chance encounter with Zhao Ji. Moreover, I will never forget his weird movement skills in my life."
"If it's really him, he can indeed hide from the people in the backyard. But how did you find him?"
"It happened to be a coincidence that I happened to meet him at the door of the woodshed. I saw that he looked familiar at that time. He said that he worked here and might have seen him occasionally. But I had no impression of this, so I went there They hid nearby and watched him, and saw that he had not come out after entering the latrine. When Butler Li went to the latrine, he suddenly rushed out and ran towards the woodshed."
"Woodshed? What's in the woodshed?"
"The child and the little girl we just bought are locked up in the woodshed."
The eldest sister analyzed: "He followed us from the backyard to the front yard. It shows that he was not here to investigate us. You said that he met you at that time, which means that he was walking to the woodshed. In fact, his purpose was not clear. Maybe he just wanted to go to the woodshed. After meeting you, in order to cover up the public’s eyes, he said he was looking for the toilet. After you gave the directions, Butler Li thought about the matter, asked the third sister to confirm, and then went to the toilet to look for him. He knew he had been discovered, so he planned to check it immediately. Woodshed. Then all your people came, and he ran away probably because he was afraid of causing trouble."
"Sister's analysis is reasonable."
"Then little girl, if she had Zhao Ji's career, how could she be reduced to selling herself. So, Zhao Ji might be here for that boy."
Wang Huwei added: "That boy does have some skills. The slap I gave him at that time, if it were an ordinary child, his muscles and veins would be severed even if he did not die. But after receiving my slap, the boy could still survive." Stand up. It can be seen that there must be a famous teacher to teach you."
At this time, a man walked in slowly, walked over and said a few words in the eldest sister's ear, and the eldest sister waved him away. Then he said to Wang Guard: "This boy is indeed Li Zhentian's son!"
"What!"
"I sent someone to inquire about this matter yesterday. Although there was no report yesterday, someone was already looking for a seven or eight-year-old child with a height and appearance similar to this child. This morning, even people from Jiangxi Alliance were dispatched. Let’s go find Li Zhentian’s second son, Li Yu.”
"Have all the people from Jiangsu Alliance been dispatched?"
"You have been here for a long time and don't know much about Jianghu affairs. Li Zhentian's wife Ouyang Lan is the sworn sister of the Jianghu Alliance leader Liu Consort. This child is equivalent to Liu's nephew."
After hearing this, the king's guard was like a thunderbolt from the blue. This time, even Jiang Jiangmeng was offended. His usually arrogant look now turned timid, and he said, "This... this... what should I do? I beat him and almost killed him."
"Why are you so anxious? He's not dead yet."
"Sister, you must help me with this!"
"Why did you lock people up in the woodshed?"
"We didn't know his identity either. We thought he might just be a wild boy. He was too good to him and all the money was wasted. So..."
"Stupid thing!"
"Sister! Then I will release him now!"
"You said he knows some martial arts. How is his skill?"
"I don't know the specifics, but he took a slap from me and probably won't be able to move for a while."
"Then don't let him go yet. If he is brought out and he runs away again, it will be difficult for us. I will write a letter later and send someone to the inn where Li Zhentian lives."
"You already know about Li Zhentian's inn!"
"What if you don't do this kind of thing adequately? Ask your people to keep an eye on him. Prepare some delicious food for him in the evening. I have a lot of things on my hands today. Early tomorrow morning, I will take him back with him respectfully. In the hands of Li Zhentian. Apologize to them in person and pay some money, and this matter should be over."
When Wang Guard heard this arrangement, he felt relieved and said, "Okay! Everything will be according to the arrangements of the eldest sister!"
"Okay, go about your business."
Guard Wang immediately ran to the woodshed, opened the door and walked in.
Li Yu was lying on the hay to rest and recuperate for the night's escape. The guard Wang suddenly came in, and Li Yu stood up suddenly, his chest hurt again, and he screamed "Ouch".
Xiaolan was also excited. She looked at the guard Wang and thought to herself: It's almost dark, why did this guy come in? Has the plan been discovered?
When Wang Huwei saw Li Yu like this, he felt relieved and thought: Fortunately, his palm was just right, neither heavy nor light. He didn't kill him, and he couldn't move for a while. He definitely couldn't run away like this. of. Send him back tomorrow and this matter should be settled. However, because of Wang Wewei's blind confidence, he did not notice at all that the skylight above the woodshed was only covered with a thin wooden board. This also caused great disaster for himself.
After Wang Weiwei took a look at this, he walked out, locked the door, and then found two people and said that he should take a good look at the boy. Then he walked to the kitchen, became arrogant again, and said, "I'll give it to you tonight." The boy in the woodshed is preparing some food. Did you hear that?" After hearing this, the cooks nodded.
Night was falling little by little, and Li Yu felt that the time was ripe. He moved his body, held Xiaolan's hand, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely save you when I go out." Xiaolan nodded. Li Yu could feel some sweat on Xiaolan's hands. He let go of Xiaolan's hand, then jumped up, stepped on the wall, and grabbed the eaves of the skylight. Then he lifted the thin board with his head and looked out. Seeing that there was no one on the roof, he lay down on his stomach and crawled out bit by bit. After coming out, as soon as I straightened up a little, I saw two people standing in front of the woodshed door below, and I quickly lay down again. Fortunately, this firewood shed is a bungalow with eaves about half a foot high. Li Yu is lying on the ground, so the people below cannot see it. Li Yu crawled to the back of the woodshed. Then he jumped down slowly along the wall. When he landed, there was a slight sound.
"Old Fatty! Did you hear anything?"
"No!"
"Big brother said that we should take a good look at this kid, but I don't know what he meant."
"Who knows? Brother lets us see it, we just have to see it."
"His grandma's! It's only April and the mosquitoes are out!"
Li Yu pressed his back against the wall, holding his breath and not daring to move. After hearing what the two people said, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he stood up, leaned down, and ran toward the light of the hall while his vision was unclear in the night.
