Chapter 138 Fan Xian really exists?
Hearing the loud noise coming from the house, Geng Nuoyuan was very anxious, but now he was restrained by three or five thugs pouring out from the dark, and it was difficult to get rid of it for a while.
Jiangning is rich and rich, so there are naturally a lot of people who go to the wrong side and take the underworld, but the few people in front of them are all unfamiliar faces.
Geng Huyuan glanced at Xi Junyu who was hiding behind the crowd, angry from the edge of his guts, and rushed towards him under the attack of the people around him.
Xi Junyu was still surprised by the loud noise coming from the room at this time, before he could react, he saw Geng Huyuan, covered in blood and wounded all over his body, rushing towards him, his bloodshot eyes staring at him Bronze bell, with a murderous look, made his liver and gallbladder tear apart.
Suddenly, it seemed to be hit head-on by a black bear.
Xi Junyu felt a tightness in his chest. He was thrown into his arms by Geng Huyuan, and he took several steps back. He and the door were shattered, and he rolled two or three meters into the room, before spitting out a mouthful of blood with a wow~.
Su Tan'er stared blankly at the servant of the Wu family who was lying in a pool of blood and had already died. She was already flustered in her heart, but now she saw Xi Junyu who was smashed through the wooden door and rolled towards her, and subconsciously took a few steps towards him.
"Master Xi?"
The thugs outside the door saw the situation and chased into the room. Geng Nuyuan exchanged injuries for injuries and knocked down another thug again, and said anxiously, "Miss, don't go there! They are in the same group!"
Xi Junyu glanced at Geng Nuyuan, who was covered in wounds, and then at Su Tan'er, who was pale and frail, knowing that once his plan with the Wu family to conspire against Su Tan'er was revealed, not only would the Wu family lose their benefits. Well, the Su family will definitely not spare him.
At that time, I will never have a place in Jiangning City.
A sinister light flashed in Xi Junyu's eyes, he took out a short knife from his arms, and glared at Su Tan'er.
Noticing the sternness in Xi Junyu's eyes, Su Tan'er felt a chill in her heart, and immediately believed Geng Huyuan's words, she clenched the Sha Ying in her hand and said in a low voice, "Master Xi, the matter has come to an end, don't make the same mistake again. "
Xi Junyu gave another servant beside Wu Qihao a wink to signal him to attack him from behind Su Tan'er, but he didn't want the other party to be like Wu Qihao, with an extremely terrified expression, as if he had been frightened by something generally.
Xi Junyu didn't have time to think about it, a trace of remorse appeared on his face, he seemed to be apologizing to Su Tan'er in a bitter voice, but in fact he approached her step by step.
"Miss, don't trust this despicable person!" Geng Nuyuan's voice came from the side, Su Tan'er embroidered eyebrows slightly frowned, looking at Xi Junyu who was less than three steps away from her, a look of suspicion flashed in her eyes.
"Boss, you have to trust me, I'm real" Xi Junyu jumped up before he finished speaking, trying to restrain Su Tan'er and threaten Geng Nursing House.
However, in the eyes of Wu Qihao, who was lying on the ground, and the servants beside him, his action was an out-and-out act of death.
When Su Tan'er reminded her at Geng Nursing Academy, she became vigilant, and she didn't hesitate at all when she fired the second shot.
Only a loud bang was heard.
Su Tan'er swayed slightly, and took half a step back, while Xi Junyu flew out backwards, and smashed into the crowd with splashes of blood.
What kind of sorcery is this?
Geng Nuyuan and these thugs retreated at the same time, looking inexplicably in horror at the big hole in Xi Junyu's back.
Because the servant of the Wu family who was hit by the sand eagle just now was lying on his back on the ground, with only a finger-thick blood hole on his chest, it didn't look too scary.
But Xi Junyu was completely overturned. The gunshot wound on the back, the **** and **** wound the size of a palm, was completely exposed in front of everyone. Even these grassroots bandits from Liangshan couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Fired the second shot, as if exhausting Su Tan'er's last courage.
For a while, although the internal force in the body was still running, but the hands and feet were still a little weak, resisting the churning stomach, Su Tan'er retched twice, and almost sat on the ground.
"The firearm in this little lady's hand is weird!" The thugs looked at each other, left the Geng Nuyuan, and besieged Su Tan'er.
At this time, Su Tan'er's mind was still full of the **** images just now. Before she could react, she saw a dark red light and shadow flashing by, and the four thugs in front of her were all frozen in place.
Behind the four of them, there was a woman in a dark red warrior robe standing with her back, holding two strange short knives in her palms, with a drop of blood slowly drooping on the cold and clean blades.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Geng Huyuan was stunned for a moment, took two steps forward, guarded in front of Su Tan'er, and looked at the four thugs standing still in front of him with some vigilance, only to see a red line quietly emerging from the throats of the four, Geng With a light push from the nursing home, the four of them fell to the ground immediately, but they died at the moment when they just stopped moving.
Su Tan'er said "Yeah~" and didn't dare to look any further. From the corner of her eyes, she could see the back of the woman in front of her, and suddenly she felt a familiar feeling, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
"Thanks to the heroes for saving me." Su Tan'er didn't have time to think about it, bowed and showed gratitude, "If it wasn't for the help of the heroine, today would be a day of disaster."
"You have firearms to help, even without me."
Lu Hongti turned around, staring fixedly at the Sand Eagle in Su Tan'er's hand, with a hint of eagerness and regret flashing in her eyes.
Since Song Xian entered Jiangning City, he has the closest relationship with Jiangning Wujia.
After the previous assassination failed, she thought about attacking the Wu family to see if she could find a chance to assassinate Song Xian.
It was just a coincidence that Wu Qihao colluded with the manager of the Su family and the grassroots bandits in Liangshan today.
The firearm that Su Tan'er suddenly took out was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
Lu Hongti knew that even if she herself was under such a powerful gun, her fate would probably be the same as the two who died.
What's more, after two consecutive shots, the opponent didn't even move to reload the ammunition.
Such power, such speed, and it can be fired continuously.
The eagerness in Lu Hongti's heart lies in that if this kind of musket can be equipped in the army, then the Wu Dynasty army will surely be able to regain the lost ground and sweep Liang Jing.
The same is true of the sad place.
If this news spreads, what is the use of warriors who have been practicing hard for many years?
At that time, it may be the prosperous age of the world and the end of martial arts.
Noticing Lu Hongti's undisguised gaze, Su Tan'er secretly thought it was bad.
Although Zhou Ji did not tell others not to see this thing before leaving, but after seeing the power of the Sand Eagle, how could Su Tan'er not know how terrible this thing is.
Everyone is innocent and conceives his crime.
Noticing the entanglement in Su Tan'er's expression, Lu Hongti turned her head to look at Wu Qihao next to her, and flung out the dagger, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, past the necks of him and the servants beside him, and then fell to the ground. Back in hand.
The two of them fell to the ground with a slam, with horror and horror remaining in their eyes.
"The firearm in your hand is too special, and must not be known to outsiders."
Lu Hongti looked at Geng Nuyuan with indifferent eyes, and the second half of the sentence seemed to be addressed to him.
Lu Hongti glanced at the somewhat dissatisfied Geng Nursing House with her calm eyes, and then her eyes fell on Su Tan'er's face, and she said in a deep voice, "Where did the firearm in Miss Su's arms come from?"
If the other party reached out just now, he could have snatched the Sha Ying from his own hand, but the other party chose to rescue him, Su Tan'er could see that Lu Hongti's fundamental purpose was not the firearm in her hand, It was the man who could make the firearm.
"The heroine saved me just now. The matter of the firearm should not be concealed from the heroine, but this matter has not been allowed, so please forgive me for not being able to tell." Su Tan'er hesitated and said.
Lu Hong frowned slightly, recalling the results of her investigation in the city, and said in a deep voice, "Is that man your husband? Zhou Ji and Zhou Huai'an?"
This kind of strange firearm has never appeared in the Su family before, and in the past six months, the biggest change that the Su family has faced should be the recruitment of a son-in-law.
Lu Hongti did not specifically investigate Zhou Ji's past, but learned from the news about Wu's family that this person possessed martial arts and had humiliated Wu Qihao on the day of their marriage.
Now that he mentioned it casually as a temporary test, Su Tan'er was startled, knowing that the other party must be asking about it.
Being in business all the year round, she quickly adjusted her mood, thought for a while, and said with a wry smile, "It's not him, but an old friend of his in Yanbei."
Su Tan'er suddenly remembered a friend he had heard him talk about, and said with a flash of light, "The name is Fan Xian."
"Fan Xian? Benefactor?"
Wait, is this a real name?
Lu Hongti was taken aback when she heard the words, thinking of the son who rescued her from the pursuit of Wu Liejun and the government officials a few days ago, and then thinking of the weird 'first aid kit', she suddenly came to a realization.
No wonder he dared to go north to Wudu to assassinate He Yuanchang.
Only such a strange person can make such an artifact, right?
Lu Hongti glanced at Su Tan'er's sand eagle pinned to his waist, and nodded slightly, with a look of amazement, but also a bit of peace of mind.
"Benefactor?"
Su Tan'er, who was surprised at why Lu Hongti believed her so easily, suddenly felt something was wrong. Seeing Lu Hongti's unpredictable expression, she also became surprised.
Suddenly, Lu Hongti's figure was seen, as if a thunderbolt flashed across Su Tan'er's mind.
She didn't realize until now why she felt inexplicably familiar when she saw Lu Hongti for the first time.
The costume and figure of the other party seemed to be the assassin who assassinated Song Xian in the city that night.
And also a female assassin!
Lu Hongti has preconceived ideas, and has long regarded Zhou Ji's pseudonym "Fan Xian" as a strange person in the world. At this time, she even looked at Su Tan'er with no indifference before. Although she is not close, she is also a little more goodwill.
To be able to give such a treasure to the benefactor, Zhou Ji and him must be close friends. I thought it would be difficult to see each other after parting, but now there is such a coincidence that I saved the wife of my benefactor's friend. It can be regarded as some kind of wonderful fate, right?
Thousands of miles away, in front of Wudu City.
Zhou Ji sneezed several times, feeling a chill rising from his back, shivering subconsciously, and turned his head to look in the direction of Jiangning City.
What is the situation, why do you feel like a catastrophe is imminent?
Zhou Ji shook his head, didn't have time to think about it, and gave the guard a look at the road guide prepared by the secret investigation department for himself, and walked into Wudu City unsteadily.
Having been on the road for many days, Zhou Ji was not in a hurry to 'assassinate' He Yuanchang.
As a Thief Saint, he knows better than anyone the importance of stepping on the spot in advance, and only after making a plan can he move later.
Looking for a relatively clean inn to stay, Zhou Ji took a comfortable hot bath, changed his makeup, and inquired about the news about Sui Feng in the city.
With the help of secret investigation department channels, Zhou Ji learned that Liang Kingdom fell in early August, and Yasukuni won a big victory.
As a result, great controversy broke out between North Korea and China.
Headed by Prime Minister Li Gang, Tan Shen, Minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Juyuan, Minister of Industry, and General Dong Daofu, etc., repeatedly proposed that the emperor should abolish the Sui Feng and send troops to the Northern Expedition. Objections.
The two sides have similar forces, and there is a lot of trouble in the court. However, Grand Master He, whom Zhou Ji has heard about for a long time, sits firmly on the Diaoyutai.
It has to be said that although the emperor of the Wu Kingdom is incompetent in governing the country, he is a master when it comes to power tactics.
According to the information inquired by the court, Zhou Ji can clearly feel that this person is weak in nature, and in fact he is very inclined to pay the annual tribute, but he does not want to bear the infamy, and wants Grand Master He to take the initiative to mention it.
Keep congratulating the grand master, who is old and skilled, and unwilling to take the bait, instead spends all day in the palace fishing for the emperor's fish.
A few days ago, Li Gang left Beijing to go to Jiangning to invite Qin Yuyuan. In fact, it was the emperor's ultimatum to Grand Master He.
If you don't speak anymore, you must speak.
And this is exactly the opportunity that Zhou Ji wants to seize.
On the other side, Jiangning City.
As if she was used to the "good night" that Zhou Ji said beside her, Su Tan'er couldn't fall asleep for a long time tonight.
The quieter the night, the more turbulent the thoughts.
The **** scenes during the day were lingering in her mind, and an indescribable fear and panic crept into her heart, causing her to sit up subconsciously and look at the wall covering next to her.
Until this moment, Su Tan'er especially hoped that Zhou Ji would be by her side, but now, there is no one on the other side of the wall.
Speaking of which, the two have only been married for half a year, and their relationship with each other all day is uneventful, without any disturbances. Now it's just the scene of sleeping alone in the room before they met Zhou Ji.
Lying down again, Su Tan'er closed her eyes, and the figures who died tragically in front of her reappeared in her mind. Even though she knew in her heart that the death of these people was not a pity, she still couldn't help but feel inexplicable panic.
Su Tan'er tossed and turned, facing the big hole at the head of the bed, subconsciously lifted the wall covering, crawled into the side room from the hole, and lay down on Zhou Ji's bed.
For a while, as if wrapped in a familiar atmosphere, Su Tan'er subconsciously picked up Zhou Ji's quilt, and her originally chaotic heart calmed down quietly.
Suddenly, she felt that she missed Zhou Ji very much.
This feeling of longing seems to dilute everything that I encountered during the day, leaving only a feeling of wanting to see him, lingering in my heart.
Is this like it?
Su Tan'er opened her eyes, the confusion in the depths of her eyes gradually faded away, and she already had the answer in her heart.
This is like.
A love born from habit.
