MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 141

"The palace."

The beggar said respectfully: "Look at the direction, it should be home."

Shen Ming nodded, then said: "You haven't seen me."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ming rushed in the direction the beggar pointed.

He calculated the speed and distance of the carriage, and borrowed knives, bows and arrows, as well as some tools necessary for simple institutions.

Then he carried two large knives on his back, short knives tied to his hands and feet, and two boxes full of quivers and bows and arrows, and rushed to the road that Wang Siyuan must pass ahead of time.

He glanced at the ground, and after confirming that no carriages passed by, he began to set up rudimentary mechanisms on the ground. When he was ready with ropes, stones, etc., he leaned against the wall and waited.

The rain on the autumn night wet his clothes, he lay on the eaves, lurking motionless. He suddenly felt as if he had returned to the time when he had not met Gu Jiusi. At that time, he was walking alone in the rivers and lakes. Apart from Brother Xiong, he had no friends or relatives. Brother Xiong couldn't help him, so he was always alone.

He killed corrupt officials, became a mountain bandit, robbed the rich to help the poor, and fled.

He is like a lone wolf, fierce and desperate in this bleak world.

It was Liu Yuru and Gu Jiusi who brought him hope, and it was they who made him see that in this world, there are people in such high positions with conscience. He is not alone in this world.

He has friends, he has Gu Jiusi as the ninth brother, Zhou Ye, Ye Shian, and even because he stopped, his heart softened, and he still thought of liking a girl, in the future If you make a career and make a career, you can still marry her.

This is all a dream, he will never be able to enter this circle, he will always be just a lone wolf.

What he is best at is never being a bodyguard or a soldier.

What he does best—

Shen Ming lowered his body, he watched Wang Siyuan's carriage slowly approach, he drew three arrows from the quiver box beside him, silently put on the bow, aiming at the guard On the people around the carriage.

Shortly after the carriage entered the alley and ran over the rope he had prepared, the arrow flew out and hit three people on the spot!

Then Shen Ming raised his hand and raised his bow, and quickly blocked the way of these people with arrows amid the panic of the crowd. With an extraordinary calmness, he watched the blood spread on the ground, listened to the panicked voices of the people and horses, watched the signal flares fly into the sky, and the sound of "bang" sounded.

His heart is clear, he knows it well.

The only thing he can do well in his life is to kill.

He quickly used up the arrows. After consuming the first wave of enemies, before the opponent could react, he rushed down from the eaves and landed on Wang Siyuan's carriage.

But as soon as he appeared, Wang Siyuan's guards fired arrows, forcing him to roll to the ground.

Shen Ming swept the surroundings, calculated the time required for the current person and the distance between the nearest reinforcements, he drew his knife and fought with everyone.

So everything happened in an instant, Wang Siyuan's coachman watched Shen Ming fight a dozen top guards by himself, and he was so frightened that he quickly drove the carriage back the same way.

At this time, Shen Ming cut off the last person's head with one knife, and chased after the carriage. He raised his hand and threw the knife, and the knife went straight through the groom's chest. At the same time, the horse stepped on the rope he had arranged earlier, and after a neigh, it fell to the ground.

Shen Ming walked over with the knife in hand. He was covered in blood and had wounds of all sizes. He used the knife to lift the curtain and panted heavily.

Wang Siyuan was hiding in the carriage, he was shaking all over, as if he was in a hurry.

Shen Ming stretched out his hand to him, Wang Siyuan kicked him frantically and shouted: "Shen Ming, you are arrogant! My people have already gone to call people, I want to have three strengths and two weaknesses, neither you nor Gu Jiusi can run away. Lose!"

Shen Ming ignored him, he directly dragged the person out, and slashed the person unconscious with one hand knife.

Then he carried Wang Siyuan, turned to the dwelling next door, then went around the alley and walked towards the edge of the city.

He ran all the way for a long time, and finally turned to an extremely remote house. He dragged Wang Siyuan to observe the house secretly for a while, and after determining the layout of the whole house and the number of people in the house, he took advantage of the house to fall asleep, and after entering the door, he knocked out the master's house, and then tied the people up. Blindfolded, he dragged Wang Siyuan in.

On Wang Siyuan's body.

Wang Siyuan was woken up by the alcohol, he woke up, and immediately shouted: "Shen Ming?! Where did you tie me? Shen Ming, are you dying?!"

"You shout again," Shen Ming said coldly, "I'll cut off one of your fingers."

Hearing this, Wang Siyuan was silent on the spot. The room was deadly silent. Wang Siyuan was also someone who had seen the big scene. He quickly calmed down and slowly persuaded: "Shen Ming, I know that you are being rushed, but it's not impossible to talk about it. Gu Jiusi is If I want to repair the Yellow River, I am not unacceptable. We don’t have to use force like this. After all, I am an official of the imperial court, and my guards have seen you. If something happens to me, according to the Great Xia Law, you will be punished by the three tribes of Yi.”

Shen Ming didn't speak, he took a sip of wine, Wang Siyuan saw that he didn't speak, thought he was persuaded, and continued to persuade: "You let me go now, I promise to let go of the past. And Gu Jiusi wants to I can discuss anything with him, at least I will never stop the Yellow River repair. I know you are amazing, I am old and can't bear such a toss..."

"Where are Qin Nan's family?"

Shen Ming spoke directly, Wang Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he forced a smile: "This...where am I..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Siyuan felt that something cold was pressing between his fingernails.

"Master Wang, do you know?" Shen Ming's voice was very soft, "I was born in a mountain bandit, and I have seen them interrogate prisoners many times, and there are many ways, the most commonly used is pulling nails ."

"Shen...Sir Shen..." Wang Siyuan's voice trembled, Shen Ming calmly said, "Sir Wang, you are old, I think you should not want to suffer this kind of crime. So please be honest. Come on, don't play tricks for me. I'll just ask you," the steel needle stabbed Wang Siyuan's fingertips sharply, and at the same time, Shen Ming directly stuck a rag into Wang Siyuan's mouth, blocking all his painful roars. Shen Ming said calmly, "Where is Lord Qin's family?"

Wang Siyuan put a signal bomb at the very beginning of the attack, Gu Jiusi was still thinking of a way in the study, and suddenly heard the sound of the signal bomb, he turned his head and looked over, rather surprised: "Where is this? Home signal?"

Signal flares are mainly made of fireworks and have different logos. Although Gu Jiusi is often seen on weekdays, it is the first time that he has set off a flare in the city. After all, in the city, the reinforcements are too fast, and it is difficult to have any results.

When Mu Nan heard Gu Jiusi's question, he immediately said, "I'll ask someone to inquire."

After finishing speaking, Mu Nan walked out, and not long after going out, Gu Jiusi heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then heard the voice of Huzi: "Jiuye is not good Now, Shen Ming robbed Wang Siyuan!"

"What?!"

Gu Jiusi raised his head suddenly, his face full of shock: "Who do you think robbed whom?"

"Not long ago, my people told me that Shen Ming asked them where Wang Siyuan was going, and then borrowed swords and arrows from them. I wanted to report to you, but I only got to the door. I saw Wang Siyuan set off a signal flare, and a large number of Wang family guards sent reinforcements to Baiyi Lane."

"Send someone over there." Gu Jiusi said immediately, "I can't let them catch Shen Ming."

"I've already sent people over," Hu Zi said, a little confused, "but...I thought, if this matter is to be dealt with, is it not appropriate?"

Gu Jiusi reacted after being reminded like this.

Shen Ming was his man, and now he has robbed Wang Siyuan, no matter whether Wang Siyuan is guilty or not, he is now an official of the court. Conviction, which is also a felony.

If he doesn't intervene and pushes Shen Ming out in the future, it can be said that this is Shen Ming's business alone. But once he reinforces now, it is he who instructs Shen Ming to act.

"Shen Ming didn't want anyone from us, even if it was mine, he said that they should pretend they didn't see him..."

Huzi said hesitantly: "Shen Ming's meaning... I think Jiuye should understand."

Why go alone, why go silently.

In order not to implicate him, and even later, he may ask him to personally send himself to the government.

Gu Jiusi knew what Shen Ming meant, he couldn't help clenching his fists and tightening his body, he felt something rush to his throat, stuck there, and the pain made his eyes hurt.

"Look for..."

He said hoarsely, "Can't let them find him first."

"But..."

"Go find it!"

Gu Jiusi shouted: "I don't care what he thinks, I don't care what you think," Gu Jiusi fixedly looked at Huzi and gritted his teeth, "I won't let him carry it alone. These things. Go find him, set him safe, and bring me back."

Hu Zi listened to Gu Jiusi's words, he took a deep breath, and finally said: "Yes."

After Huzi led the people out, Gu Jiusi stood there. After a long time, he stretched out his hand suddenly, waved everything on the table, and smashed it to the ground.

Liu Yuru just heard the news and rushed over, and when she arrived at the door, she saw Gu Jiusi lift something. She was stunned for a while, Gu Jiusi raised her head with red eyes, and seeing that it was her, he restrained his emotions and said in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"I heard something happened to Shen Ming."

Liu Yuru pursed her lips and said, "I'll come and ask."

Gu Jiusi responded, squatted down, and started packing. Liu Yuru waved her hand, and the servants all left. Liu Yuru squatted down, picked up things with Gu Jiusi, and said calmly, "What happened to him?"

"I went to rob Wang Siyuan myself," he said with a nasal tone, "I can't find anyone now."

Liu Yuru didn't speak, they both squatted on the ground and packed things together, as if they were packing Gu Jiusi's messy heart.

Liu Yuru's movements were slow and steady, Gu Jiusi watched her slender white hands slowly sorting out the things he had messed up, and reclassified them. He seemed to be in the process, silently Got some kind of tranquility.

He squatted on the ground and said hoarsely: "Yuru, you say, why hasn't anything changed?"

Liu Yuru paused, Gu Jiusi raised her head and looked at him with red eyes: "Why, I couldn't save Wenchang back then, and I am still the same today."

"Why are they always so stupid? Wenchang wants to go back to save his family, and Amin wants to trade his life for his morality. How can they be so stupid? Why don't they understand," Gu Jiusi Zai Unable to hold back, he choked out, "Only by being alive can you go on."

"Why can't you be persuaded?" Gu Jiusi closed his eyes, Liu Yuru stretched out his hand and hugged the person in his arms, Gu Jiusi leaned against her, trembling as if he had found the only support , "Why do you have to be a hero and take care of everything alone? Why can't he wait any longer, wait, maybe I can do it?"

"Why do you have to choose such a path..."

Liu Yuru didn't speak, she patted his back and comforted him silently, listening to him: "Why, do you have to go alone?"

"Because," Liu Yuru said gently, "he is your brother. Jiusi," she sighed softly, "you are all the same people."

Everyone wants to give good things to each other, and no one wants to implicate others.

But everyone wants to help each other, and everyone wants to make each other well.

"Jiusi," Liu Yuru said slowly, "there will always be a way. As long as you survive, everything will turn around. Let's find him first, eh?"

Gu Jiusi did not speak, he leaned against her, and after a long time, he replied, "Okay."

He said hoarsely, "I'll go find him."

"I'll accompany you."

Liu Yuru took his hand and put it in the palm of his hand: "He will be fine."

Gu Jiusi took a deep breath and finally stood up. He stood up, then stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Yuru up.

Liu Yuru took the handkerchief and wiped Gu Jiusi's tears. The two were about to speak when they heard the voices of officers and soldiers from outside, and then a male voice shouted angrily: "Gu Jiusi, you put Shen Hand it over tomorrow!"

Gu Jiusi's face turned cold, Liu Yuru patted the back of his hand and comforted: "Calm down."

Gu Jiusi nodded, he walked out, and saw a young man standing in the rain, he looked nearly thirty, Gu Jiusi recognized that this was Wang Siyuan's second son Wang Shusheng, the eldest son of the Wang family was there Dongdu served, and the second son accompanied Wang Houchun in Xingyang to take care of the Wang family's property. Gu Jiusi's expression remained unmoved, and he said coldly, "What is the purpose of the Second Young Master Wang looking for Young Master Shen?"

"You don't pretend to be confused," Wang Shusheng was obviously in a hurry, and said angrily, "He tied my father, you quickly hand over him. When the street kidnapped the fourth-rank minister of the imperial court, Where did Shen Ming get the courage? Master Gu," Wang Shusheng said coldly, "Wang advises you not to cover up, otherwise, no one can afford the crime of kidnapping a court official."

"Tie up Lord Wang?" Gu Jiusi pretended to be surprised, "Mr. Wang travels so many guards on weekdays, Young Master Shen alone can tie up Lord Wang?"

"Gu Jiusi!"

Wang Shusheng rushed forward and was stopped by someone next to him. The man was the housekeeper of the palace. He pulled Wang Shusheng and whispered, "Young master calm down."

Speaking, this man stepped forward and bowed respectfully towards Gu Jiusi: "Master Gu, I am in charge of Wang He in the lower palace, just now my son is anxious because of the disappearance of the master, and he is rude. Looking forward to Haihan."

"No harm."

Gu Jiusi said indifferently: "It's just that this official really doesn't know where Mr. Shen is. He has already resigned from office and is not under the jurisdiction of this official. You have found the wrong person."

"Master Gu," Wang He smiled, "Actually, the palace knows that Young Master Shen just wants to take the adults to have a cup of tea, as long as the adults return safely, it's just tea, it's not a big deal ."

Gu Jiusi understood this, it was a concession from Wang He, as long as Wang Siyuan came back, they could not deal with this matter.

Gu Jiusi pursed his lips, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "This official really doesn't know the whereabouts of Young Master Shen."

"You..." Wang Shusheng said anxiously, Gu Jiusi interrupted him, "I can only say, try your best."

These words meant relief, Wang He breathed a sigh of relief, he took a step back, and respectfully said: "Then my son, I'm waiting for the good news."

Gu Jiusi nodded. After Wang He and Wang Shusheng left, they led them away. After they left, Gu Jiusi immediately called everyone and started looking for Shen Ming.

The longer it takes, the less chance Wang Siyuan will survive. If Wang Siyuan died, Shen Ming would not be able to keep it.

So Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru, who were familiar with Shen Ming, could only find him on the street in the most primitive way.

The Wang family locked the city, Shen Ming couldn't get out, and since he robbed Wang Siyuan, it must be for evidence, and it was impossible to go too far.

So Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru were on the street, calling his name from street to street.

The autumn rain will never end, Shen Ming's name echoes in the street one after another. After Shen Ming bandaged the wound, he untied the rope of the owner of the house, carried Wang Siyuan's immature corpse, and jumped out of the house with evidence.

He threw Wang Siyuan's body in an alley at will, and then heard Liu Yuru's voice.

Liu Yuru's voice was hoarse, but she was still insisting on calling him.

Shen Ming's eyes were hot, he lowered his head and left in a hurry.

However, the whole city seems to be full of his name, he always hears someone calling him, Yinhong, Huzi, Liu Yuru...

Sound and called him.

Shen Ming.

You're back.

We will not leave you alone.

Shen Ming, come back.

He didn't dare to listen to these calls, he felt as if he was a ghost walking in the night, listening to these calls, he couldn't help but go back.

The wound on his body was torn open again, and blood was dripping.

He couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned into a tavern at will. The tavern was already closed at night, so he turned over the wine, tore open the wound and poured it on.

Then I heard Gu Jiusi's voice from outside.

But he was still shouting.

"Shen Ming."

You're back.

Shen Mingdun stopped, and then he heard tired footsteps outside, and then it seemed that someone was sitting at the door.

Gu Jiu is tired.

He looked for it in the middle of the night, and he couldn't walk. So he sat down, leaned against the gate at the entrance of this pub, and rested for a while.

However, shortly after he went on, he heard a call: "Ninth brother."

Gu Jiusi sat up abruptly and was about to speak when she heard Shen Ming say: "Don't move, if you come in, I'll leave. I have something to tell you."

"A Ming," Gu Jiusi dared not move, he knew that with Shen Ming's skill, if he forced his way in, he would be able to run away again, so he could only persuade him, "I I've agreed with the Wang family, as long as I hand over Wang Siyuan back, everything will be forgiven."

"He died."

Shen Ming said, Gu Jiusi was shocked, Shen Ming quickly said: "I can't stand it when the sentence is over. I asked the location of Lord Qin's family, now I'm going to save people, before dawn , I will send someone to the back door of Gu Mansion, you wait there. He also recruited a lot of things, all of which are cases he committed in the past, and I will stay here with the evidence. Don't worry about handling people, wait for Yongzhou soldiers Here we go, let's do it again."

Speaking, Shen Ming paused.

He covered the wound, afraid that Gu Jiusi would hear the strangeness in his voice, he paused for a moment, and finally said: "Don't show that you have seen me, I did everything. They will think that I got the evidence and haven't given it to you, so I desperately chased and killed me. In the past few days, the Yongzhou soldiers will arrive, and you can do it."

"What about you?"

Gu Jiusi leaned against the door.

For the first time, he discovered that Shen Ming is also very smart.

He can also count everything, plan and let everyone go. He leaned against the door and said in a low voice, "Where are you going?"

Speaking, Gu Jiusi said hoarsely, "Ye Yun replied to you, won't you go take a look?"

Hearing Ye Yun's name, Shen Ming was in a trance for a moment, and after a while, he slowly said, "Just help me take a look."

"This kind of thing," Gu Jiusi couldn't help crying, "Where did you ask your brother to watch it for you?"

Hearing Gu Jiusi's cry, Shen Ming laughed lowly.

"Ninth brother," he said calmly, "did you cry for me?"

"I don't."

Gu Jiusi scolded: "Get out of here."

"Ninth Brother," Shen Ming raised his head and looked at the dark ceiling of the room, "Don't be naive. I have chosen the path, I don't regret it. In fact, I am still very happy," Shen Ming bent The corner of his mouth, "So many people care about me, I'm very happy."

"Shen Ming..."

"Ninth Brother," Shen Ming Wen said, "Thank you."

Gu Jiusi did not speak, he clenched his fists and restrained his emotions. After waiting for a long time, he said, "Don't say thank you, you must at least meet me."

There is no reply.

Gu Jiusi panicked: "Shen Ming?"

Still no response, Gu Jiusi stood up abruptly, he kicked the door several times in a row, and said loudly, "Shen Ming?!"

The room was empty, except for the threshold, there was a pile of confessions pressed with a jade pendant.

The jade pendant was given to him by Gu Jiusi. When he first arrived in the Eastern Capital, Shen Ming felt that he was not elegant enough, so Gu Jiusi gave him a jade pendant, so that he would have the capital to show off.

Gu Jiusi bent down, shaking his hands, picked up the jade pendant and the blood-stained confession.

He twitched his lips and opened his mouth, but for a long time he couldn't say a word.

The wind rolled in and the autumn rain was rampant, and the pages of Gu Jiusi's hand flew.

He stood in the tavern for a long time. By the time Liu Yuru found him, it was almost dawn.

Liu Yuru saw Gu Jiusi standing there blankly, she rushed forward and said anxiously, "Why are you here?"

Speaking, she glanced at the blood on the ground and said quickly: "Have you seen Shen Ming? Where is the person?"

"Gone."

Gu Jiusi hoarse.

Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, but she quickly calmed down. Gu Jiusi would not leave Shen Ming on purpose, she immediately said, "As long as you live, let's go back first."

Speaking, she reached out and pulled Gu Jiusi. Gu Jiusi didn't speak, Liu Yuru led him back to the mansion. As soon as he arrived at the mansion, Mu Nan caught up and said anxiously, "Sir."

Gu Jiusi raised his eyes and looked at Mu Nan, Mu Nan whispered: "Master Qin's family was found. They were sent to the back door early in the morning, and now they have been brought in, what should I do?"

When Liu Yuru heard this, she turned her head and looked at Gu Jiusi with anxiety.

Gu Jiusi put his hands between his sleeves, he secretly squeezed the evidence, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Nine thoughts?"

Liu Yuru was a little surprised, Gu Jiusi finally said: "Take my token and go out immediately, to adjust the three thousand elite soldiers of Sizhou."

Speaking, he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of coldness: "Now, I ask to see Mr. Li."
