The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 280 Defending the City (4)

286
The whole city was making the last effort to resist the rebel attack. Gu Tong and Kong Zhao also closed their shops and went to the medical hall to help prepare wound medicine.

Mi Congcong was discussing something with Gu Tong that day, when he saw a tall man in government uniform hurried into the clinic: "Grandma Lou, Young Master Lou, please go over there!"

Seeing that the yamen servant was sweating profusely, Mi Congcong frowned: "Is something wrong?"

Something happened to Lou Chenxiao, why didn't Mo Qi come to call her, but let a yamen servant come over instead?
The yamen servant seemed to see Mi Congcong's confusion, and hurriedly explained: "Young Master Lou and the others are busy, but if you encounter some trouble, I would like to ask you to go and have a look."

When the yamen servant said this, Mi Congcong understood.

A few days ago, Lou Chenxiao and Duan Kui made something like a crossbow, but the shooting power was too weak. She looked at it at the time and found that there was something that could be improved, so she casually reminded them, and they immediately asked the craftsmen to change it. , the long-range shooting is indeed better, but Lou Chenxiao and Duan Kui are still not satisfied. They have been thinking about how to improve it for the past two days, and they must want her to give advice, but she doesn't understand these things. of.

But Lou Chenxiao sent someone to call her, she packed up her things, took Xiuxin and followed the yamen servant out of the clinic.

Walking out of Xieyang Street, the yamen servant took the two of them to the west of the city.

Suddenly, Xiuxin stood in front of Mi Congcong vigilantly, pointed her sword at the servant, and asked, "Who are you? Where are you taking us?"

This is not the way back to their house at all!

The yamen servant was taken aback, and turned to look at Mi Congcong with an innocent face: "Grandma Lou, Young Master Lou and Duan Xiancheng took people to try out the crossbow in the forest west of the city. Grandma is going."

Mi Congcong asked Xiuxin to put away her sword, and said, "They are indeed testing crossbows in the west of the city today."

This morning she went out before Lou Chenxiao, Lou Chenxiao stopped her and told her about it, so she didn't doubt that the yamen servant took her to the west of the city.

"But Grandma" Maybe it was because of the vigilance of martial arts practitioners, Xiuxin felt that something was wrong with this yamen servant, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"It's okay, let's go." Mi Congcong gave Xiuxin a soothing look, and then said to the yamen servant: "Lead the way."

Just when the yamen servant turned around, Mi Congcong's eyes suddenly darkened, and he squeezed Xiuxin's hand violently.

Fortunately, Xiuxin reminded her, otherwise she would really fall into the trap this time!
She didn't notice it just now, but now she found that the clothes of the yamen servant in front didn't fit at all, and the side waist was cracked, and the shoes were obviously too small, and the toes protruded the toes.

This person is obviously not the original owner of this suit!
Xiuxin followed Mi Congcong's line of sight, her gaze turned serious, and she shielded Mi Congcong behind her without a trace.

Mi Congcong shook his head silently at her, lowered his arm, and dropped a pill from his sleeve into his palm.

"Grandma Lou, why are you walking so slowly?" The yamen servant suddenly turned around.

Mi Congcong was so frightened that he shook hands and almost crushed the pill.

"Maybe I'm too tired these days, and my physical strength can't keep up." Mi Congcong said with a smile.

The yamen servant looked at her suspiciously: "Young Master Lou is in a hurry, Grandma Lou try to hurry up."

"Row."

Mi Congcong sped up his pace appropriately, and the yamen servant let down his guard and continued to lead the way.

Mi Congcong, who was behind, handed the pills in his hand to Xiuxin, and Xiuxin put the pills away knowingly.

Xiuxin has been by Mi Congcong's side all the time, knowing that she and Gu Tong have been researching a pill that can make people lose their minds these days, and they just developed it this morning and haven't had time to find someone to test it.

Since this yamen servant bumped into him, Mi Congcong decided to use him as a test.

When turning to the last street corner, Xiuxin and Mi Congcong exchanged glances, and Mi Congcong nodded imperceptibly.

"Brother poor." Mi Congcong stopped and called out.

"What's wrong."

The yamen servant turned around and met the sneer on Mi Congcong's lips unexpectedly. His heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to make a move, a faint fragrance entered his nostrils. He panicked and drew his knife to slash at Mi Congcong. Come.

Xiuxin and Mi Congcong held their breath and stepped back a few meters before stopping, looking at him fixedly.

The yamen servant soon realized that there was something wrong with the scent he smelled just now, his eyes were a little blurry now, and he couldn't see the exact positions of the two women. Immediately afterwards, he felt a burning pain in his chest. In addition to the pain, there is anger for no reason, and I just want to find an outlet to vent.

He tried hard to regain consciousness, but the fire in his chest made him unable to calm down, and he swung the big knife in his hand uncontrollably and started slashing wildly.

Mi Congcong had been observing his reaction, and was overjoyed when he saw this: "It's done!"

Mi Congcong's voice was very low, but the fake yamen servant still heard it. With a low growl, he raised his knife and slashed at Mi Congcong.

"Grandma be careful!" Xiuxin shielded Mi Congcong behind her, blocking the servant's knife.

Seeing Xiuxin's complexion changed drastically because of this knife, Mi Congcong knew that Xiuxin was not his opponent, but thinking about it, Feiyu County closed the city gate, since the opponent could sneak into the city to harm her, his martial arts must not be weak.

Seeing the glaring sun, Mi Congcong knew that it was impossible to expect the baby spirit to save them at this time, because if the baby spirit came out at this time, it would only be lost!
"Grandma, you go first!" Xiuxin's voice was filled with forbearance, presumably she was injured.

"You go too!"

As Mi Congcong said, a few silver needles in his hand flew towards the yamen servant. While the yamen servant was distracted, Mi Congcong grabbed Xiuxin and ran away.

The yamen servant's consciousness is already confused, as long as they run far away, he will not catch up.

It's a pity that Mi Congcong underestimated that person's willpower, and he caught up with them within a short distance.

"Grandma, hurry up!" Xiuxin shouted anxiously while resisting.

At this moment, a black shadow appeared out of nowhere.

After seeing the black shadow clearly, Mi Congcong's heart dropped.

It's the Black Hawk!
The yamen servant couldn't tell the difference between southeast and north, so he slashed when he heard the sound, but Feiying didn't move, and he killed the rushing person with his sword.

Just as Mi Congcong was about to speak, three figures appeared out of thin air.

Mi Congcong's heart tightened, and he heard Feiying ask the three of them, "Is it all resolved?"

"Solved!" The leader in black reported.

"Notify the young master!" Feiying issued an order to the three and then reminded Mi Congcong: "Madam, there are assassins sneaking into the city. If it is not from our Black Hawk team, we should not trust it."

"I see, is Lou Chenxiao okay?" Mi Congcong asked worriedly, she guessed that the assassin was probably targeting Lou Chenxiao, and Lou Chenxiao must be in a more dangerous situation than her.

"Madam, don't worry, the young master is fine."

Mi Congcong's heart relaxed: "It's fine, you should go back quickly."
