Zou Yunting, who was hit by the sword, showed no pain at all, and showed a strange and sly smile that even the breathless Song Pingping couldn't understand.
"No..." Song Pingping mumbled two words, which were meant for Wen Xin to hear, referring to the sword Wen Xin stabbed at her senior brother.
Wen Xin didn't understand or listen, and her whole mood was in a huge abnormality.
The senior brother and sister finally fell down holding each other in their arms, with Song Pingping half pressed on top of the senior brother.
Zou Yunting was also choking on blood, with the sly smile still on his face. He wanted to get up, but his body was losing strength and he was bleeding profusely. He was so pressed by Song Pingping that he couldn't get up, and he just repeated the same motion to get up.
A large pool of blood quickly appeared under the two senior brothers and sisters, which extinguished the light of the two fire sticks on the ground.
"Don't come over, don't come over!"
Wen Xin, whose face was covered with blood, suddenly became short of breath, her voice was trembling, and the hand holding the sword was also trembling.
Mrs. Wen Guo walked towards her with a sly smile on her face, as did the six guards holding fire folds in their hands.
Facing Wen Guo who killed Song Pingping with her own hands, Wen Xin's breathing became more and more rapid as she saw the situation approaching. She did not give in, and finally pushed out the shuriken with her eyes closed.
puff! The sword penetrated Wen Guo's chest, but Wen Guo did not show any pain reaction and continued to move forward.
Wen Xin's legs were already weak, and she fell to the ground after being thrown.
The unbalanced Wen Guoshi also threw herself on her body, trying to stand up, which made her seem to be crawling on Wen Xin's body.
Wen Xin kicked up her legs, and when she saw the six guards approaching again, she panicked and grabbed the hilt of the sword on Wen Guo's chest and drew her sword. She sat on the ground, closed her eyes, and slashed with the sword with both hands.
The six guards who were injured by the sword did not stop at all. They continued to move forward with strange and infatuated smiles on their faces, even though the wounds on their legs were bleeding.
His hands were covered in blood and were slippery. Wen Xin's grip was weak, so he threw the sword out of his hand, hitting the wall with a clang and falling to the ground.
She was knocked down by Wen Guo who was climbing up by her, so she immediately turned around and climbed two steps, grabbed the sword again, twisted and knelt down, and looked at Wen Guo who was climbing up by her skirt again. The sword stabbed down, piercing her back.
He drew his sword and stabbed him with another sword.
Wen Guoshi seemed not to be afraid of death, but still wanted to grab her to use as a point of strength to stand up.
Wen Xin trembled, as if she was dumbfounded. She grabbed the sword with both hands and knelt down to strike with the sword again and again.
At the end of the stabbing, Wen Guo had completely stopped moving, and she was still stabbing her with the sword one after another, as if pounding garlic.
It wasn't until his hands lost strength that he no longer had the strength to pull out the sword before he fell to the ground.
The six guards holding fire certificates limped away and gradually moved away with the light of fire.
Song Pingping, who was about to die in a pool of blood, watched. She seemed to notice something strange about the six guards and made a weak voice, "Xin'er..."
Fortunately, it was very quiet in the tunnel, otherwise I might not have been able to hear him.
This call, like the sound of nature, instantly awakened the demented Wen Xin.
However, there was no light in front of her eyes, and there was darkness. Wen Xin shouted, "Sister Pingping." Then she crawled over, groping for Ms. Wen Guo's body and the blood on the ground, and found Song Pingping, and grabbed Song Pingping's hand. hand, "Sister Pingping, hold on, I'll find someone to save you."
Song Pingping seemed to use her last breath to make a clearer voice, "Don't go out, wait for the leader..."
Before he finished speaking, there was no more sound.
"Sister Pingping, sister Pingping..."
Wen Xin cried bitterly in the darkness.
After a while, she stood up and left the bloody place, but she was already covered in blood. She groped the stone wall in the dark, groping forward based on her memory.
There were still lingering movements on the ground behind, and Zou Yunting was not dead yet.
Later, she saw the light and the oil lamp on the steps, which was almost extinguished.
As if she had been granted amnesty, she hurriedly climbed up and stumbled up. She stirred the wick with trembling hands and turned on the light again.
She sat down against the wall in her original position again. She saw the blood on her hands, so she wiped her body, but there was blood everywhere on her body. She couldn't wipe her hands clean, so she stopped wiping. She felt cold and curled up. Lean against the wall, holding yourself.
She did not run out out of fright, but continued to wait here. She could not see the bloodstained face on her face...
Before noon the next day, outside the gate of Wen Mansion, dozens of riders rushed through the big archway. People in uniform, dressed in green and with big sleeves, rode in with extraordinary momentum. The crowd dismounted directly at the gate.
Fan Wuchou and others, as well as Wen Kui, who was wearing bandages under his clothes and with whip marks on his face, were waiting outside to greet them. They had been waiting for a long time.
Ren Tianjiang, the leader of the long-bearded old man with a majestic appearance and the leader of Qinglian Mountain, jumped off his horse and looked at Wen Kui.
He knew Wen Kui, so he didn't ask how his injury was. Instead, he asked directly: "How is Wen Xin?"
Wen Kui: "Nothing's wrong."
"Bring to see me." Ren Tianjiang dropped his words and walked in, followed by a group of people behind him.
Wen Kui bowed and accepted the order.
He did not go to the Jade Garden, but went to the main courtyard and entered the secret passage from the master's study. He also sent Wen Xin into the secret passage from here.
The main courtyard where the head of the family lives is adjacent to the Jade Garden, so it is not far from the exit of the Jade Garden.
But he still saw bodies in the tunnel.
He saw Wen Guo with a sword stuck in his back, Song Pingping with a dagger stuck in his back, and Zou Yunting lying there with a sly smile on his face.
It was one thing that the three people who died surprised him, but the key point was that such a method of death was rare in the secret passage. It was supposed to be a clean death, but how could it be so bloody?
Something might have happened unexpectedly, and even Song Pingping died. He immediately became anxious.
The bandaged hand held the oil lamp and looked around. He saw bloody footprints on the ground leaning against the wall, which looked like the footprints of a woman. He immediately hurried to the place where Wen Xin was placed.
Not long after, he saw Wen Xin curled up on the steps.
The oil lamp was out of oil, it had been out since last night, and it had burned out. Wen Xin remembered the instructions from her grandfather, Wen Kui and Song Pingping, and did not run around or go out. Although she was afraid, she still huddled alone in the dark underground and waited patiently.
She ate the food placed on the steps. After she was really cold and hungry, she groped in the dark and ate all the buns.
Wen's living conditions were so generous that it was the first time in her life that she ate the leftovers from every other meal. She grabbed the buns with blood-stained hands and ate them slowly in the dark.
At that moment, she thought about the situation of raising Zilong, who was so hungry that Zilong opened his mouth, and therefore thought of that very special person, the person who could make Zilong eat obediently without the need for Zilong to starve.
There were dried blood stains on his hair, face, and clothes, which were almost unrecognizable.
Wen Kui almost thought she was dead.
Unexpectedly, Wen Xin's eyes moved. After seeing the person clearly, he was not excited. Instead, he said carefully and weakly, "Grandpa Kui, I killed someone!"
If it weren't for the difference between men and women, Wen Kui would have wanted to touch her and asked anxiously: "Miss, are you okay?"
Wen Xin shook her head, hugged herself tighter with her arms, huddled against the wall, and whispered softly: "I killed Er Niang."
In fact, after all the talk, she just wanted to say one thing, what should I do now?
Wen Kui half-knelt in front of her and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay. Miss, what happened?"
"Yesterday, Sister Pingping brought food, and then Mr. Zou broke in for some reason. He seemed to be following..."
Wen Xin's thinking was very clear and she told the whole story in an orderly manner, including the bloody scenes of life and death. She just said that when Song Pingping died, she shed tears again and hugged herself tighter. Very softly.
After listening, seeing her appearance and comparing it with her previous appearance, Wen Kui suddenly burst into tears and looked up to the sky and sighed, "Master, you are committing evil!"
He suddenly understood why Wen Qian suddenly arranged for Song Pingping to deliver food before he died. It felt unexpected at the time.
Since the young lady is to be left alone in the darkness, there is no need to send any food. Isn't the Wen Mansion unable to prepare dry food for a day or two? Getting someone to deliver meals is something that can easily be exposed.
Wen Xin, whose face was covered in blood, stared at him with bright eyes and asked, "Grandpa Kui, why are you injured too?"
Wen Kui raised his sleeves to wipe away his old tears and smiled bitterly: "I'm fine. It's just a redundant thing. If I follow the master's arrangements before his death, I won't have this injury. I really asked for it. I almost broke it." thing."
After seeing the bodies of several people and hearing what happened, he understood that he had done something extraneous.
There is no need to arrange five carriages to act as a cover-up or anything like that.
Those who intend to do harm to the young lady will not openly mess around with the young lady. They will not be in the situation that they are worried about. So what if they find the tunnel entrance? Anyone who sneaks into the tunnel will die.
Anyone who finds the lady in the tunnel cannot kill the lady directly. They must want to know something. With this time, the mystery in the tunnel is enough to kill anyone with bad intentions.
The master obviously refused to die until his death that the poisoning of the banquet had nothing to do with the people of Qinglian Mountain.
Song Pingping's meal delivery was actually a bait arranged by the master, with the intention of "Qingjun's side" for the future new owner of the Wen family. It had several purposes.
At that time, he thought that the master had not had time to make proper arrangements before his death, so he added some additional measures. As a result, he harmed himself and Xiaohong.
Wen Xin suddenly asked: "Grandpa Kui, how could Er Niang and Zou Yunting collude together?"
Wen Kui sighed: "It's a long story. Guo and Zou Yunting had a secret affair a few years ago."
"Private affair?" Wen Xin was surprised and couldn't imagine how Zou Yunting could be involved with Wen Guo, and asked, "Does grandpa know?"
Wen Kui nodded, "I know. As for why we don't deal with it... The master said it's not that we don't deal with it, but that we're not in a hurry. The Wen family has relied on Qinglian Mountain to make profits for many years. In fact, there have been noises inside Qinglian Mountain, and it's impossible not to do it." Noise, some people in power also have earthly descendants. It is right for the elders who are in charge of the Wen family to keep a distance from the Wen family, but they should not be too aloof. That would be bad for the Wen family. Elder Fan has no way of disciplining his disciples. Once the Wen family Need...Miss, some things are very complicated, and I can’t explain them clearly at the moment. I should have detailed them in the things I left for you in the secret room."
