Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 161 The Spark of Life

(31)

Exhausting all his patience, Su Qing kept hiding until dawn.He has been standing still, and he has not seen any visions from Yin Qianchou. It seems that the other party is consciously confident, thinking that there is no need to use "quick marching", and quietly approached the mysterious imperial tomb at night.

Although taking advantage of the situation can take the lead, the execution of such orders must have a high degree of organization and discipline.Obviously, Yin Qianchou's subordinates are all rogues with unrepentant thieves, so they don't have the conditions to carry out a sneak attack.

So, Su Qing went back to the corner of the alley where he changed clothes, changed back to his fisherman's outfit, and took a few pickled fish to the street for a few times.Finally, finding no new movements, he dragged his tired body to buy food and drink, and sat in the tea room near the Dongcheng post house to relax and wait for work.

With the help of alcohol, he was half asleep and half awake for a while.He didn't open his eyes to see what was going on in the posthouse until the noise in his ear reached its peak.

I saw Yin Qianchou took Taoist Lei Heng and dozens of his Taiping Road servants out on the road.Among them, there was a familiar figure at the end of the ranks.They tied the hands of the good women they had snatched with ropes and then led them away. They swaggered through the market, worked as minions for tigers, and demonstrated their power all the time.

Although such a rather direct way of exerting pressure is not convincing, it can indeed intimidate most people immediately, not to mention that the leaders are all high-sounding, and they are all veritable officials and Taoists.

Countless villagers who passed by the army gave way voluntarily, bowed their knees, and watched the girl who was left behind being staggered away by the rope like an animal.What's more, those who are more troublesome, thinking that this is a prisoner who has been arrested, pick up stones and rotten vegetables on the side of the road and throw them in the opponent's face.

Su Qing looked across the street and confirmed it many times before she dared to believe that the girl was the arrogant E Feiying who had ridiculed her in every possible way before.At this time, she was already in a trance, with bruises all over her body.She was still barefoot when she walked, stepping on the sand full of sharp gravel and stones, but she could not see the slightest pain from her expression.

E Feiying just lowered her head slightly, silently accepting the ridicule and scolding from others.

Watching the contingent heading for the imperial mausoleum gradually leave, Su Qing knew that he could not follow too closely, so he put his head on his head and tried his best to think of a way.

Suddenly, Su Qing glimpsed a beggar from the side, it was an extremely skinny and wrinkled man.The obviously ill-fitting coarse cloth clothes were ragged and loose, exposing half of his ugly body.

The beggar kept staring at the leftover wine and barbecue at Su Qing's table, salivating.Su Qing followed his will, took something and went to greet him, "Brother, are you hungry?"

"Mm...hm." The beggar snatched the wine and meat and swallowed it immediately.

"Brother, do you know what those Taoists are going to do?"

"It looks... like, it looks like they are going to rob a tomb!" The beggar just ate the half of the chicken arm until only the skeleton remained, "Last night, when they saw someone, they arrested them and questioned them. Fortunately, I escaped." quick!"

"I have a penny here, and I want to ask you to do something..." Su Qing took out the silver and asked again: "I don't know the name of the brother?"

"Just... just call me Xiao Anzi!" Xiao Anzi stared at the other party, flattered, and replied, "What...what do you want me to do? I don't want to kill and set fire..."

"I want you to follow that group of Taoist priests until you have no choice but to return to this teahouse and wait for me. At that time, I will give you a few taels of silver!"

After hearing this, Xiao Anzi was overjoyed, and nodded in agreement.Then he took the unfinished wine and followed with bare black feet.

After watching him go far, Su Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the sun to count the time, and walked slowly towards the camp by the river.

In a little while, dusk is approaching.Xiang Chuchu and others, who had already prepared their luggage in the camp, were already saying goodbye before leaving.

Xiang Chuchu looked at the direction of the sunset, frowning, turning her head almost every step of the way, until she got into the carriage, and reluctantly looked at the people who said goodbye.

Watching the carriage carrying Xiang Chuchu, Zichai, and Tao Wuyong go away, Zhao Xiaomei and others didn't know why the atmosphere was so intense at first.It wasn't until Su Qing rushed out from a certain direction and told everyone about his agreement with the Xiang family that Zhao Xiaomei and the others woke up.

"Since there is such an agreement, why do you deliberately wait for the sunset to appear?" Zhao Xiaomei couldn't help asking.

"Follow me, they will all die sooner or later, this is retribution." Su Qing leaned against the tree trunk in a slightly depressed tone, and replied calmly: "Why do you two brothers and sisters still stay here? Go back to Cangzhou for some repairs, and then hire a new team to go to Beizhen together?"

Zhao Kuo replied: "We have just come out of the prison. I am afraid that people will write down the portraits. It will only cause more trouble if the city is full of wind and rain. Besides, if we really want to leave, our luggage is still here. How can we dispose of it?" in spite of?"

"In the final analysis, you still don't want to part with Brother Bai and them?" Su Qing snickered, squinted at Zhao Xiaomei, and said, "Now that Yin Qianchou and those Taiping Taoists have left the mausoleum, if you have important things left There, I will go back and get it now."

"Really? The flowers of my slave's house are still there!" Ajuan suddenly said, "Zhao Kuo, will you accompany me back?"

"Is it the flowers or your life that is more important?" Zhao Kuo retorted, and then asked Su Qing, "Speaking of Mr. Su, I'm afraid you're not just here to inform us about the news?"

"Indeed, I came back to ask for help." After Su Qing talked, the words of the two young masters were interrupted by Ajuan's random actions.

"Zhao Kuo, if it weren't for the help of the poisonous flower seeds donated by Sister Mengdie, my family would have been tortured and humiliated to the point of unconsciousness by now!" Sangzi said: "Look, those wretches tied my hands behind their backs, and threw themselves into my arms without saying a word. Fortunately, there was some pollen hidden in the secret bag in my arms, and they stunned two people in a row, so that they would not dare Get close to me so easily! In the end, they had no choice but to lock me up, deprive me of food and drink, and try to make my slaves half-dead before attempting to plot evil..."

After the little girl heard about it, she felt something, so she also persuaded Zhao Kuo, who knew that Zhao Kuo was no longer arbitrary this time, and looked full of shame, so she nodded silently in agreement.

Then, Zhao Kuo asked Su Qing again: "I don't know how the three of us can help Brother Su?"

"Brother Zhao, there is a bow and arrow in the camp. If you have a little knowledge of bow skills, I wonder if you can go with me to the imperial tomb to rescue Brother Bai and Miss E. Taking advantage of the night, we are 'mantises catching cicadas, and orioles behind' , taking advantage of the right time and place!"

"Archery is one of the 'six arts of a gentleman', how can I not understand it?" After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he looked back at his two sisters and said, "It's just for the safety of the two of them. Do whatever you want..."

Ajuan immediately embraced the little girl, put on the biggest airs with the most immature voice, and replied: "Aren't you underestimating people! No matter what I say, I have skills enough to defend myself and protect your sister, don't you?" Not at hand?"

"Then you promise me that after you find our carriage, you will come back here and stop wandering around?"

Zhao Xiaomei and Ajuan nodded together, then looked at each other and smiled, Ajuan took out several small gray cloth bags containing poisonous pollen from her arms, handed them to the two young masters in front of her respectively, and said: "If When encountering the situation of encirclement, this thing can break the encirclement!"

The four of them agreed to be ready to go, and march forward against the afterglow of the setting sun, to meet the final decisive battle together.
