Chapter 401
Since there was no harvest, there was no need to stay. They were about to leave when they heard a string of footsteps coming towards the room!
Too late to go out, they had to hide in the corner of the room, even the moonlight can not shine in, and then put the breath light, as long as they are not peerless experts, they will never notice.
As soon as they hid, the door was pushed open. It turned out that they were just maidservants.
In the evening, she didn't rest, but she came to sweep. Unexpectedly, Pei Ming had a headache. She thought that if she was found later, she would only knock the girl out. She was afraid that the whole government would send out to catch the assassin.
The maid was totally unaware of her situation. She wiped the table and chair and sobbed. The more she cried, the more sad she was. Xue tingji was a little impatient.
Just when he thought that the woman would faint even after crying for a while, another person came in and sighed with the same sadness, "don't be sad. Maybe they're OK. Since the archdeacon had expected that, he naturally left behind."
Unexpectedly, they unexpectedly heard the key. The two men in the dark came to the spirit. The next conversation between the two maidservants revealed the key they most wanted to know.
I saw sasao's maid wipe tears and shake his head, "the Liu family is so overbearing, even the Lord can't help it. What can the lady and the young lady do? Even if they escape, they will be caught."
"Bah, bah, bah, what a crow's mouth!" In addition, the one who stopped her quickly said, "can't you say something good? The Lord has endured for so many years to save everyone. Now he What's the use of the Liu family in catching their wives? "
After a few words, the truth is clear. It turns out that Tai Shou Tian was really coerced. The reason why he didn't report to the court to eradicate the Liu family is that his family is small, and even more people are held in Liu's hands. He has to bear it.
In this way, he died bravely under the name of the whole world. Even the emperor and empress wronged him. It's really sad.
The two maidservants held their heads and cried for a while before they left. When they walked away, Xue Ting sighed dully, then raised his eyes and put the simple room and paintings in his eyes. Only in this way can he really understand the state of mind of Tai Shou Tian.
That quiet and comfortable freedom was what he longed for but could not get until his death.
It's a pity that he hasn't even seen such a good minister.
That night, except for Pei Ming, the remaining four people took turns to watch the night. They had to be alert for any movement. Fortunately, they were safe until dawn.
Pei Ming, who wakes up, just sits up and is about to think about what to do today. Suddenly, he is startled by a scream and disturbance!
Who broke into the prefect's mansion?!
Several people quickly tidy up, slip away from the window, hide on the eaves, see what's going on.
It's a group of big men with weapons who rush in. Without saying a word, they begin to search all parts of the house. It's the grand residence. There's nothing else that can be so bold except Liu's people.
Is there any important clue that has been missed and came back specially?
In fact, they were half right, because they were looking for a man or a girl.
But he couldn't find it. The strong man at the head lost his patience and said, "where did you hide her?"
The servants and maidservants cowered like quails, "I, we don't know..."
Xue tingji finally understands what's going on. The wife and children of Tian Taishou are really captured by the Liu family, but a little daughter takes the opportunity to run away, so he sends out a whole city search.
A little girl, as for so inspiring? As the two maidservants said last night, even the prefect is dead. What's the use of his family?
Looking at the scene in front of him, Pei Ming was worried. He soon thought of the reason, and his heart was like cooking oil.
Not only for the sake of killing, but also for the sake of threatening these people, like the more than 2000 soldiers It's about binding them.
But why the little girl is so important is not clear for the moment. I just didn't expect that these people were so rampant that they were really lawless.
One of them grabbed a maid's hair and pulled her to the ground. The other held a machete in front of her and said, "OK, I didn't go home, did I? Then let her come back! "
They wanted to threaten people with their lives, killing people every day and hanging them at the gate of the prefect's house until Miss Tian came back obediently.
Such people deserve to die! Seeing that he really wanted to chop, Xue tingji and Pei Ming looked at each other, nodded, and then motioned to Pei Xiao and Jin Zhan.
It's time to meet the enemy!
While the machete was waving, a flying needle fell from the sky and went straight into the man's wrist. He screamed and looked up. Before he could see the last sight, his despicable life came to an end.
Looking at the big man who was wiped his neck and died, the other servants gathered in a panic. They didn't know whether they were friends or enemies.
Nameless was thrown into the middle of the maidservant, leading to a scream, immediately covered their mouth, "don't cry, we are here to save you."As soon as this sentence was finished, I heard a heavy sound of falling to the ground. When I looked back, I saw that all my minions had lost their breath, and the terrible sight of their eyes stunned several maidservants. However, Xue tingji and others did not even gasp for breath, and quite calmly shook off the blood left on their hands
Pei Ming picked up a knife from the ground and wiped it. He kept it for his own use. He turned back to nameless and said, "you can stay here, Jinzhan and Xiao. You will protect these people and wait for us to come back."
"Wait a minute!" Marigold thought he had heard wrong, "are you going alone?"
Xue tingji took out the medicine bottle from his arms. It was a hundred effective antidote. He took one pill with Pei ming to prevent being plotted against. "Someone has to be here to guard."
After that, without waiting for discussion, he and Pei Ming held each other tightly. "If we are accidentally poisoned, we must wake each other up. Everyone is waiting for us to go back."
Pei Ming nodded hard and drove his horse south with him.
Three tiger mountain, three people become tigers. If it's true, it's in line with the virtues of the Liu family. Now that they've been invited by such a big invitation, don't beat around the bush. Today, do whatever you have!
Within half an hour, they came to the foot of the mountain. The mountain was not high, but the terrain was complicated.
Xue tingji reined in the reins and looked around, "how can I get in?"
Before waiting for Pei mingsidu, I suddenly saw an old woman standing on the hillside. Seeing her looking over, she slowly turned around and walked into the deep mountain. After a few steps, she looked back.
Although far away, Pei ming could not see her eyes clearly, but he was a little palpitating. He stared at the old woman's back and said, "go that way."
The road she chose was very narrow, even intermittently, which made people suspect that it was a dead end. But soon, the seemingly ordinary small intestine path became more and more open. After turning around the foot of a mountain, she suddenly saw a villa.
This should be Liu's home. They clenched their fists and even breathed carefully.
But when they got close to the villa, they found something strange.
No one, no one saw it. It's even colder than the prefect's residence. But in the silence, it reveals a sense of crisis.
It's like there are countless pairs of eyes staring at them, but no matter how they look, they are empty.
Just as their scalp became numb, another faint cry came from a distance. After careful identification, Pei Ming suddenly trembled.
"The voice is..."
