Unparalleled Concubine
Page 44
They were a team of two, with a clear division of labor. The young people were watching outside, and the middle-aged people were negotiating with Li Xin inside.
The middle-aged man gave Li Xin a cold look, and said to the young man, "Go, go into the back room and bring that girl out, and then we will hide in the family's wine cellar together."
The young man had a short knife hanging from his waist. Hearing this, he nodded, turned around and walked towards Zhong's small room.
At this moment, shouts and shouts came from the gate of Li Xin's courtyard.
"Mamoru Habayashi takes the traitor, Mamoru Habayashi takes the traitor!"
The sound was getting closer and closer, and it was almost approaching Li Xin's yard.
Li Xin's pupils shrank slightly. He originally thought that these two people were just ordinary assassins. At most, they just had a grudge with a high-ranking official in the capital. They killed the enemy in the middle of the night. He didn't expect these two people to be so bold, and they were directly at the level of rebels... …
Rebels, that is to say, they either assassinated the prince or the emperor!
Li Xin took a deep breath, and shouted at the two people: "Did you hear that, the officers and soldiers are at the door, if the mother-in-law hesitates again, the four of us will die!"
The middle-aged man listened to the noise of officers and soldiers outside, then gritted his teeth secretly, and said to the young man, "Take off your clothes!"
Li Xin took a deep breath, and whispered to the middle-aged man, "I'm going to get a quilt for my elder brother. Although it's warm in the cellar, there must be something to cover him."
The middle-aged man refused to put the dagger on Li Xin's neck, and said coldly: "No need, we don't need any quilts, you lead us to the cellar!"
Soon, the young man finished taking off his clothes, revealing his thin body. He threw the blood-stained clothes on the ground. Only then did Li Xin see that there was a long and narrow knife wound on the young man's thigh, which was still bleeding.
After the young man took off his clothes, he took the dagger in his uncle's hand, and still firmly restrained Li Xin.
The middle-aged man also started to take off his clothes. It didn't take long before he finished taking off his clothes, and then from Li Xin's room, he randomly tossed two clothes out, one was thrown on the young assassin, and the other was draped over himself.
He took the dagger from the young man's hand, and said coldly to Li Xin, "Take us to the cellar!"
Li Xin snorted, and led the two towards the kitchen.
The yard is not big, and the kitchen is naturally very close. It didn't take long for them to reach the kitchen. Li Xin pointed to the pile of firewood behind the stove and said in a low voice, "The entrance to the cellar is under the firewood. This is where the fathers and grandparents came to avoid the war disaster. Made it."
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and believed Li Xin's words [-]% to [-]%.
He still restrained Li Xin with the dagger, winked at the young man, and said in a low voice, "Move these firewood away."
Enduring the wound on his thigh, the young man began to move the firewood.
In ancient times, wars were a common occurrence, so many families would dig a cellar at home, usually used as a wine cellar, and when wars occurred, the family would hide in to avoid disasters.
People in the capital also have this kind of cellar.
Unfortunately, Li Xin's yard doesn't have one.
Chapter 55 Vitality!
The cellar is fake.
There is no cellar!
Li Xin's house was originally rented for two yuan a month. At this price, it would be nice to have a yard and a kitchen. How can I give you a cellar?
This cellar was fabricated by Li Xin. The reason why he told this lie was to stabilize these two people and not to kill himself and Zhong Xiaoxiao, and to delay time.
At this moment, he very much hoped that those Habayashi guards who were hunting for assassins could rush into his yard as soon as possible to help him and Zhong Xiaoxiao out of the siege.
However, he had tried his best to delay it for so long, and the Habayashi guards outside still did not rush in. Li Xin could only bite the bullet and lead them into the kitchen.
Then bit the bullet again and told them that the cellar was under the woodpile.
The young assassin, enduring the wound on his thigh, emptied the firewood in front of the stove bit by bit. Every time he moved more, the sweat on Li Xin's forehead would increase.
Finally, the firewood was removed.
There is a flat piece of land underneath, and nothing unusual can be seen.
The middle-aged man gave Li Xin a cold look with murderous intent in his eyes.
Li Xin forced a smile, and said in a low voice: "There have been no military disasters for many years, and this cellar has not been opened. The upper layer of soil is normal. Don't worry, I will open the cellar for you."
With that said, he was about to go up to dig the soil.
The middle-aged man grabbed Li Xin's shoulder, and the dagger was still firmly pressed against Li Xin's throat. This middle-aged assassin, who was about the same height as Li Xin, had a low and terrifying voice.
"Little baby, you'd better not lie to me. If I can't live, neither can you and your sister!"
Li Xin lowered his head slightly, not daring to move.
"Brother, don't worry, I am a life-saving person, and I will not kill myself."
These two people were too defensive. From just now until now, Li Xin has been looking for opportunities to fight back or escape, but these two people have been firmly restraining him, so that he has not found any opportunities.
The young assassin had a knife wound on his thigh, and his movements were not very flexible, and because of the knife wound, he moved the firewood earlier, which had caused the wound to open again, and blood was continuously oozing out.
This made it harder for him to dig the soil.
Li Xin said in a low voice: "Brother, this brother's injury is not serious. The soil is about an inch thick. If he has to dig it out by himself, the officers and soldiers outside have already killed him."
The middle-aged man gave Li Xin a cold look: "Do you want to help?"
Li Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, if those officers and soldiers rush in, if they see me messing around with you, how can I survive?"
Having said that, Li Xin glanced at the middle-aged man cautiously, and said, "I would like to ask, brother... what did you do?"
The middle-aged man gave Li Xin a cold look. After hesitating for a moment, he said indifferently, "Assassinate the Son of Heaven."
"hiss……"
Although Li Xin had already guessed that these two people might have assassinated the emperor, when they admitted it, Li Xin was still shocked. People in later generations may have no concept of assassinating the emperor, but in this era Well, the Son of Heaven is the Heaven of the capital, that is to say, these people who speak Chuanyin want to... murder Tian!
Li Xin's face turned pale slightly, and he shook his head again and again: "Okay, big brother, don't say any more, I just hope that big brother can leave my house as soon as possible after escaping this calamity, my younger sister and I are just two children from a farming family, but we can't resist any turmoil .”
Li Xin trembled, pretending to be scared.
At this time, the siege outside became more noisy, Li Xin turned pale, and said, "Brother, let me dig, when this brother digs the cellar, our family will be killed by you..."
The middle-aged man glanced at Li Xin who was trembling, and then at his seriously injured nephew. After being silent for a while, he finally said in a low voice, "You...you better be honest."
Li Xin nodded again and again, and said, "Don't worry, big brother, my younger brother is a well-known honest person in Datongfang, and you can find out if you ask casually in Datongfang."
When Li Xin said this, he squatted obediently in front of the stove and dug the soil. He didn't dig fast, and the purpose was naturally to wait for the officers and soldiers to break in.
However, time is limited after all, and these two assassins cannot have too much patience. After a while, a thick pile of soil was piled up in front of the stove, and the middle-aged assassin frowned, and said: "Not yet it is good?"
Li Xin was lying on the ground, panting slightly, suddenly, as if he had dug something, he said happily: "Brother, I dug the cellar door, this door is a bit heavy, I can't move it alone, please help me !"
