Datang cat raising hand letter

Cheng Chubi received a letter from the capital a few days ago.

At the same time, he also received an oral order.

From today's saints.

Cheng Chubi was impatient, and after getting the news, he reported to his superiors. He happily walked Pingzhou alone with one horse, and galloped for a day and night before arriving at Shicheng County. Not to mention that the horse had changed two or three horses. He couldn't see any fatigue at all.

Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs.

After the county gate opened, Cheng Chubi came all the way to Yu's residence. Uncle Liu, the concierge, recognized him and hurriedly let the young general in.

Bai Shuang led Cheng Chubi inside, with a gentle smile on her brows, "Why did you come to the door in person early in the morning? My little man is washing up in the backyard, so don't blame him."

Cheng Chubi said carelessly: "What does this have to do with it? I've come out of nowhere." He showed his white teeth, smiled blindly, and his generous appearance was a bit naive.

Bai Shuang turned a corner with a smile, and just walked two steps forward when she saw the door to the backyard, the smile froze on her face.

She froze slightly, not knowing how to react for a moment.

At the moment when they were stunned, Yu Yu stood up staggeringly, and only settled in the courtyard for a moment, then strode to the wall and looked up at the brocade that was bathed in the cold but still covered with dark green. .

Recently, big cats like this place the most, and cats can often be seen around here most of the time.

As if... on purpose.

In the brocade covered by layers, some leaves at the bottom seemed to be eaten away by something, and the subtle imprints spread almost half of the wall from the beginning to the end.

Seeing this scene, Yu Yu took a deep breath, and the moment a convulsive coldness grazed his chest, it was as sharp as a sob.

In an instant, Bai Shuang reacted and ran inside, her hasty footsteps almost stepped on the corner of her skirt, "Little Lang, Xiao Lang—"

Cheng Chubi's reaction was faster than hers, and he rushed out like a tiger and leopard, his eyes shot around the courtyard sharply, and then he looked at Yu Yu who was standing thinly under the brocade in the courtyard, "What's the matter?" gone?"

Cheng Chubi didn't know how to describe Yu Yu's expression...it was an extremely indifferent expression, even the slightly warm eyes in the past were like snow that had condensed and never melted.

Yu Yu's shoulders were soaked.

Snow shouldn't have wet his clothes.

But this is sleet.

A little rain, a little snow, you can't even tell whether it is raindrops or snowflakes.

Yu Yu's eyebrows twitched.

He slowly raised his head to look at Cheng Chubi and Bai Shuang, his pale lips moved, "Why is Brother Cheng here?"

The volume of the voice was very low, but somehow it made Cheng Chubi feel cold all over.

There was nothing wrong with Yu Yu's words, but Cheng Chubi keenly felt... something was different.

Hoarfrost feels even worse.

She has been by Yu Yu's side for many years, and his emotional changes are always extremely subtle, even Bai Shuang is often difficult to detect, but now... It is no longer a question of whether he can detect it.

With deep worry, she subconsciously swept the falling snow in the courtyard. Her messy footsteps were the marks made by her and Cheng Chubi just now, which destroyed most of the snow.

It was only at the place where Yu Yu had just stopped that Bai Shuang saw small footprints like plum blossom marks, only cats could leave such marks.

The gentle woman paused slightly, standing in the courtyard suddenly felt cold for some reason.

Bai Shuang took another look at the modest courtyard.

She knew she was missing something.

... Where is Mr. Dashan?

...

Cheng Chubi sat opposite Yu Yu, his warm and outgoing personality made him unable to resist asking: "Are you really okay?"

Just now neither he nor Bai Shuang could ask Yu Ji the answer, so he only answered that it was okay, and asked Bai Shuang to pour some tea.

Cheng Chubi has to be an idiot to really think that Yu Yu is really all right.

But if Yu Yu didn't say anything, he would have nothing to do.

Yu Yu slowly raised his head to look at Cheng Chubi, his indifferent brows didn't even move at all, "There is something to do." He said very calmly, "Of course it's irreversible."

There was no fluctuation in that cold voice, as if talking about an unimportant matter.

His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the fine falling snow covered the darkness. It was clear that Yu Yu had no expression at all, and his voice was very calm.

Cheng Chubi: ...OK.

This person has finished being frank, why the hell is he even more uncomfortable? !

Cheng Chubi was depressed and depressed, and it took him a long time to remember the reason why he came here.

It's just that after this incident, his excitement seemed to be quenched by cold water, and Cheng Chubi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yu Yu.

"This is news from Beijing, just take a look."

Yu Yu raised his hand to take the letter, lowered his head to uncover the red ink pad, and opened the thin letter.

Letterhead.

——Yu Yu pro-revealed.

He paused.

No one knew these handwriting better than Yu Yu.

Familiar breath blows towards the face, those outlining gestures, twisting strokes, strength of the pen...it is so clear that it seems to leave heavy marks in Yu Yu's heart... This is what Yu Hui gave Yu Yu to practice at the beginning One of the copybooks.

Yu Yu's handwriting is more or less out of bone.

How could he fail to recognize the handwriting that he practiced a lot when he was young!

Yu Yu closed his eyes and breathed out lightly.

The house was very quiet, Cheng Chubi did not speak, as if to give Yu Xuan time to calm down.

After he finished reading the letter, Cheng Chubi said softly: "Duke Yu hopes you can go to Beijing." After he finished saying this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The person who sent the letter is from the palace. Sent an oral order from the palace."

Cheng Chubi didn't need to read it, he knew that Duke Yu's letter could only be a request.But with the addition of the sage's oral oracle, the request changed a bit.

Cheng Chubi seemed to be afraid of Yu Yu's overthinking, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Yu is not that kind of compulsive nature. The sage's oral order is probably forced by my father and a group of old generals. ..."

"Thank you."

Before Cheng Chubi finished speaking, Yu Yu suddenly got up and bowed to the young man.Shocked, Cheng Chubi stood up abruptly and ran over, helping Yu Yu up again and again, "What is this for? It almost scared me to death!"

Yu Yu said calmly: "If you hadn't been so busy, I'm afraid I would have completely ignored this matter."

He looked down at Duke Yu's letter, his eyes inadvertently fell on the word "Chang'an", and then even the eyes that only had waves were completely indifferent.

Tick.

The sleet outside the window seemed to have completely changed into cold rain.

The rainwater beating the eaves quickly washed away the corners of the courtyard, and the stepped footprints quickly melted away, and along with the traces of water disappeared on the smooth stone road, the courtyard that had faded away from the silver was restored to its original appearance.

It also completely eliminated the last trace left by the big cat in the world.

Yu Yu quietly listened to the sound of the rain, then put away the letter, and slowly folded it back into the envelope. This gentle movement, he did it very slowly, as if in these simple steps, he was sorting out his inexplicable emotions .

Then he said, "Okay."

Yu Yu frowned, and said lightly, "I'm going to Chang'an."

...

Once things start, it seems to be an extremely simple thing to do.

For Shicheng County, Cheng Chubi's identity is very useful.

Not to mention other things, Yu Yu had to go to the doctor's place of county studies and classics in person.

The Doctor of Confucian Studies was not surprised by Yu Yu's intentions, and he even smiled slightly.

When the get out of class is over, the doctor of classics always has a generous attitude towards these visiting students. The house of the Wang family is small, but very warm. When they were talking, the old lady even came to have a look, and gave it back Greeting ceremony.

When Yu Yu received the jade pendant that the old lady forcibly gave him, his calm and slightly ignorant appearance made the Doctor of Confucian Studies laugh, but also felt inexplicable pity.

The doctor of Confucianism's voice was a bit vicissitudes, and he said slowly: "Have you made a decision?"

Yu Yu paused slightly. He didn't know the reason for the pause at this moment, but after the pause, he said calmly: "Perhaps he is really a relative of the student."

The Doctor of Confucian Studies nodded and said calmly: "Since that's the case, that's a good thing. It's better if you can get a little protection from your relatives than fighting alone." He may not know who the distant relative Yu Yu is referring to , but the old master knows Cheng Chubi's identity.It can make him travel back and forth, and Yu Yu's surname... the cause and effect of this is actually not difficult to guess.

"As long as you are willing, it's no big deal." He said generously.

Yu Yu's expression was a little indifferent, he lowered his eyebrows, as if he was looking at the lines on the carpet, and he spoke unhurriedly, as if he was talking about other people's affairs: "There is... Chang'an." He unconsciously pinched his index finger, "If that's the case, let's go."

The Doctor of Confucian Studies paused while eating tea, and his cloudy eyeballs glanced at Yu Yu.

After a long while, he didn't say anything more, just explained some ordinary things to Yu Yu, and then returned the article Yu Yu had written before.

"The time is too tight. If I can give you another half a month, you can write better articles. But there is no rush, this is my recommendation. If you need help after entering Chang'an , you can take this letter to Anrenfang."

This is the selfishness of the teacher. Although he has only been here for a few months, he is the most favorite student of the doctor of economics.

Even the old thing from the county government, looking forward to it, ten Li Lianqings can't compare with one Yu Yu.A while ago, I heard that the guy had been kicked out of Shicheng County by the old man, so I don't know where he wasted.

Yu Yu took the two items, bowed three times to the doctor of Confucian classics, and then left the Wang family.

The news from the county school was always fast-paced, first Liu Siyuan came to visit, then Chen Xiangyang, and several other classmates who had a decent relationship with Yu Yu all visited.

A series of social events continued in the next few days, and it wasn't until Yu Yu packed up his belongings and loaded all his things into the carriage that the feeling that he was about to leave finally settled down.

The thin man stood at the door, he looked even thinner these days.

Bai Shuang vaguely guessed the reason for Yu Yu's recent silence.

The mountain boy disappeared.

No matter how much they searched the huge Yu Mansion, they still couldn't find any trace of him, even when they had to be by Lang Jun's side every day, there was no trace of the cat.Yu Yu's indifferent appearance that day was still in front of her eyes, Bai Shuang didn't dare to ask about it, and at the same time pressed the guesses of other people in the family.

But Yu Yu's daily behavior should be normal without any fluctuations, which made Bai Shuang even more worried, but there was no way to persuade him.

In recent days, Yu Yu often stands in front of the window and looks at the greenery outside the wall. The brocade all over the wall is the only green in this winter. The crowded vine leaves are all over Yu’s house, and they are still growing tenaciously in the falling snow. .

One day, Bai Shuang couldn't help knocking on the side and asked, "Why does your lord keep looking at this brocade?"

Yu Yu rolled up his sleeves slowly, and said calmly: "Sister Baishuang, don't keep brocade at home in the future, is it okay?"

Bai Shuang paused, as if feeling something vaguely.

After thinking about it again and again, some fragments flashed in her heart, she suddenly raised her head to look at the still calm young man, and the heat in her eyes suddenly surfaced.

She didn't dare to blink, for fear that if she blinked, the tears would fall, "Okay, of course, it's up to Mr. Xiaolang." Bai Shuang smiled and said with red eyes.

Uncle Liu's family will also follow Yu Yu to Chang'an.

Yu Yu gave the Liu family time to think, and it was Bai Shuang who finally made the decision.

"At the beginning, we followed the Yu family to Shicheng County. Now Mr. Xiaolang is going to Chang'an. Whether it is to help or to follow, is it possible that we can make great progress if we stay in Shicheng County?"

Bai Shuang is usually quiet in Liu's house, but her opinions are often the most worth listening to.

But overnight, the Liu family made a decision.

Liu Yong was working hard to move the last box of books onto the carriage, and next to him was Bai Shuang, who was looking at things one by one with the ledger. Of course, he didn't move big things. Except for the necessary things, those books were the most common.

Cheng Chubi said quietly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to finish reading these books in ten lifetimes."

Bai Shuang said with a smile: "This is less than one-fifth of the books."

The books that Yu Yu was going to take away were all rare and unread books, and all the books that he had finished reading were given to other classmates by him.The other students were very happy when they received Yu Yu's parting gift, but Liu Siyuan was a little depressed. He really didn't like reading.

On the day Cheng Chubi delivered the letter, he fell asleep in Yu's house for a long time, and the next day he worked hard to help Yu Yu, and after running through the county government, Cheng Chubi went back that afternoon. It was agreed to pick up Yu Yu in seven days.

Cheng Chubi was about to return to Beijing. After encountering Yu Yu, he didn't know what the warrior's thinking was. He probably struck while the iron was hot for fear that Yu Yu would run away again.

He directly advanced the time of returning to Chang'an by half a month. When he arrived in Shicheng County with a small team, he picked up Yu Yu and went straight to Chang'an.

It is indeed difficult to travel this winter, especially when Yu Yu has two carriages with him, but at this time, it is not possible to run fast in the snowy weather, and the team moves extremely calmly.

Yu Yu would occasionally go out to loosen his muscles and bones.

Cheng Chubi ran with Yu Yu twice, smiling brightly, "This is the right way, it's not okay to stay in the carriage all the time."

Yu Yu said lightly: "I'm weak. If it's colder, I'm afraid I'll be huddled in the carriage." Riding a horse is not afraid, but the chill caused by galloping the horse is more than the slightest now.

Cheng Chubi laughed loudly, "I've never seen someone who is so afraid of the cold and speaks calmly like you, but it would be nice to be able to huddle in the carriage when it's colder." He shrugged and began to put Some of Yu Yu's incorrect postures were slowly corrected.

During the ride, Cheng Chubi also mentioned the fate of Wang Junkuo.

"As soon as my boss heard that it was Wang Junkuo, he sent someone directly to Zhechong Mansion to pick him up. I reckoned that his life must be gone, but I don't know if Jingzhong has other ideas." Cheng Chubi mentioned these things When he is young, he always has a keenness that is different from the simple and honest appearance.

This may be because of his family background.

Yu Yu threw out a large cloud of white mist while breathing. It snowed heavily last night, and the official road was very difficult.

At the gate of the passing county, soldiers shoveled the snow for half a day before they cleared a barely walkable path.If the snow has been so heavy recently, Cheng Chubi and the others are prepared to rest for a few days before leaving.

"He deserves to die." Yu Yu frowned, his fingers holding the rein were slightly stiff.

Every day, Baishuang would urge Yu Yu to apply some ointment, just because he was afraid that he would get frostbite outside.

Cheng Chubi rubbed his head, "I hope, too, I only hope that nobles are like this." He glanced at the gloomy sky that was still snowing, "It's really unlucky, the snow is really heavy this year."

Yu Yu tilted his head to catch a snowflake, and said calmly: "Auspicious snow heralds a good year, as long as it is not too much, it will be much better than previous years."

Cheng Chubi raised his eyebrows, "I don't understand what you say, you literati. It's just a good thing, let's live with it." He smiled showing his white teeth, looking like a simple and honest silly big brother.

The rider following behind tugged on the reins, leading the horse to run forward twice, "Sanlang, I feel someone is following behind."

Cheng Chubi's official position in the Zhechong Mansion is a partial general, a moderate official position.Most of the people around him now are the team sent by Cheng Zhijie when he delivered the letter.Just like Cheng Chubi was worried that Yu Yu would run away, Cheng Zhijie, as an old man, was also afraid that his son would continue to be hotheaded and unwilling to come back.The person sent here is an escort, but also a certain degree of supervision.

When Cheng Chubi returned to Beijing, he only took away a deputy from Zhechong Mansion who was particularly compatible with him.

He frowned and looked at the white snow in front of him, and muttered: "Why do these bandits come to rob in broad daylight? Isn't this treating the national law as empty talk?"

Yu Yu looked at the surrounding terrain. Although this is an official road, they have already left Xiangzhou and are walking around Taihang Mountain.There are still many mountain roads along the way, and it would be too troublesome to bypass them specially.The group brought by Cheng Chubi were all members of the Cheng family. Although there were only about [-] members, they were all brave and skilled servants. I can also feel that they are somewhat excited.

Along the way, there are three or four cottages that Cheng Chubi broke through easily.

"There is a village called Kedoudian near here. If you go further, you will pass a Yangchang Road at Tianjingguan, which can barely accommodate the next group of horses and horses." The leader of this team is a 30-year-old capable man The man's name was Cheng Yiding. He had a big beard and he spoke with great air, "Sanlang, if they want to annihilate us, maybe they can do something here."

Cheng Chubi rubbed his chin, "The best ambush site around here is the Tianjing Pass. As long as we go in, it will be a thrust to block the front and back. It's also a good idea to throw some stones from the top of the mountain wall to fuel the fire." .”

These few gathered together, thinking about the idea of ​​targeting their own team, but each one was more ruthless than the other.

Yu Yu was listening, silently practicing their way of thinking.

As warriors, they are extremely sensitive to the terrain and the strength of the enemy and us. The spies found behind the team are probably sent to investigate.If we look at the terrain alone, they are naturally no match for the bandits who have been stationed here all year round.

"If we start from here, we are almost inevitable. Should we lure them out first?" Cheng Yiding frowned.

Thinking about this, there is indeed some trouble here.

The road has come here, and it would be a waste of time to turn back and detour to avoid disputes; but if you want to go straight forward, you have to encounter this group of bandits occupying the ground.Even if Cheng Chubi knows how brave and good his family is, they can win more with less if they occupy the ground, and even the most stupid and stupid thief can make appropriate decisions.

While the few of them were discussing by the carriage, Yu Yu raised his eyes to the middle-aged man who had just spoken, "You said there are villages and towns nearby?"

Cheng Yiding nodded, "The Kedou store is very small, it's just around here."

He once fought with Cheng Zhijie, and after he was disarmed and returned to the fields, he still followed Lu Laogong.He still knew everything about the Tianjing Pass and its surroundings, not to mention the Tianjing Pass, he also remembered the fortress checkpoints in various places.

"Why don't you just rest in the Kedou shop tonight." Yu Yu said slowly, he hooked his fingers while talking, the cold wind made his fingers hard to bend down.

Cheng Chubi was taken aback at first, then laughed, and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, great idea! Great idea!"

Ke Dou shop is near Tianjing Pass, they are just guessing now, they might as well go to that village to rest first.If there are really robbers ambushing robbers nearby, it is impossible that there are no eyeliners in the Kedou store.

Once there is an ambush, with the characteristics of bandits, or will they rush to attack directly in the villages and towns?

Although this is less likely.

Unless the Kedou store is penetrated extremely deeply.

In any case, it is much better to make a decision than to hesitate now.

Yu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "If you go, beware of the people in the village and town."

Cheng Chubi understood what he meant, and withdrew his hand to signal Cheng Yiding, who was in the lead, and he began to give orders after he understood.The convoy changed direction after a temporary break, and headed towards Kedoudian under the leadership of Cheng Yiding.

Yu Yu returned the carriage after the discussion was over.

The two carriages of the Yu family were driven by Liu Yong and Uncle Liu, and Aunt Liu and Bai Shuang sat in the back together.The members of the Cheng family had Cheng Chubi's instructions, but for Yu Yu's side, just in case, he still told the matter again in a soft voice.

Nothing in the Kodou store is allowed to be touched.

Fortunately, the team replenished dry rations in the last county, and they were still able to hold on for a while.

It took more than half an hour for the carriage to stop before it stopped.

Kedoudian is a very dilapidated village and town. Although the area is not particularly small, there are not many pedestrians coming and going. Cheng Chubiyuxi and his foreign team are enough to attract the attention of most people in Kedoudian. .

After all, this place is located in a remote place, unless it is a passing caravan, there are really few people coming.

Someone from the motorcade headed to ask about the inn of Kedoudian, and under the guidance of the locals, they arrived at the only inn. The waiter of the inn was very leisurely hiding in the backyard and lazing, and it was Cheng Yiding who called him several times before calling him out.

Not to mention the upper, middle and lower rooms in the inn, they are all at ordinary prices.

Cheng Yiding told the two of them to share a fully booked room in the inn, and then asked someone to slowly pull the carriage behind it to a stop.Even at night, the three carriages are guarded in shifts.

When they were resting, the servant who had parked the carriage and came back said to Cheng Chubi: "Sanlang, the shop boy has a sly eye and stared at Yu Langjun's carriage for a long time."

Among the three carriages, the two belonging to Yu Ji were the heaviest, and they could press down the heavy ruts when the wheels rolled.

Cheng Chubi raised his eyebrows, "Then let them think it's right. The outside world will call us here for business, and you can ask the store for some water and food. But I don't need to tell you how to do it?"

The servant smiled blindly, nodded his head and went out to handle errands.They have always been used to carrying dry food with them, so it is not difficult to steal the day.

Yu Yu turned his head and looked at Cheng Chubi, "Brother Cheng, don't be stubborn."

Cheng Chubi shrugged his shoulders and leaned against the wall, his thick brows moved slightly, forcibly exuding a sense of treachery from his generous face, "You started this idea." He narrowed his eyes slightly, "If they really have Dan, I can give you a big show tonight."

Yu Yu looked at Cheng Chubi who was already rubbing his hands expressionlessly, and said calmly after a while, "Your clothes are dusted."

"What are you rubbing against?" Cheng Chubi couldn't react, turned his head and glanced, and then screamed out.

His clothes were originally dark in color, and the wall hadn't been cleaned for many years, and Cheng Chubi's rubbing it just turned gray.They walked all the way, Cheng Chubi and those servants ate and lived together, and they washed their clothes by themselves.

Cheng Chubi's hands are really strong, if the clothes are clean, they can still be alive; if they are dirty and rubbed vigorously, the clothes are basically gone.According to rough statistics, Cheng Chubi had to wash about a dozen pieces of clothes in this encounter, and almost wiped out all the clothes he took out.

Cheng Chubi had a bitter face, "I'd better ask your elder sister Baishuang for help."

Ever since Cheng Chubi knew that the Liu family was not Yu Yu's domestic slaves but hired servants, he had a good grasp of the subtle considerations involved.It's just that he didn't pay much attention to these things, and it was very natural to get along with Liu Yong.

Winter nights come very quickly.

The inn was lit with the worst quality oil lamps, the lights made people's eyes hurt, and the black smoke could not go away, even Yu Yu wanted to continue reading, but Cheng Chubi pulled him away.

Until late at night, the inn was silent.

The moonlight was like water, white snow and silvery light spread all over the small courtyard, illuminating some places that could be hidden extremely brightly.There was a servant sitting against the shafts of the several carriages in the backyard, looking dazed as if he had fallen asleep.

"Are you sure you've taken all the drugs?" The voice of the speaker was muffled and he spoke the local dialect.

An overwhelming conversation came from the wing room in the backyard.

The clerk spoke in a rough accent, and before he could say a few words, he changed back to the local dialect, "I made it myself, and the boss coaxed me to sleep. I took back the plates one by one."

He must have eaten everything.

"Twenty or so people, the brothers here are probably enough." The man with a muddy voice nodded, took out a fire pocket from his arms and blew it on, and the faint light vaguely illuminated the square-inch-sized territory.

It turned out that dozens of people were silently hiding in the wing room in the backyard!

"Damn it, I thought they were going to the Tianjingguan. It's much easier to intercept people there." Someone hiding in the dark muttered, and the man with the muddy local accent didn't bother to interrupt. his thoughts.

The person who stepped on the plate clearly went to the courtyard, and turned around to stop at the Kedou shop on the way.

It would be much easier to kill this group of people directly at Tianjingguan than at the Kedou store.The people in this Kedou shop are more or less aware of the situation in this black shop, but it is still a bit troublesome to deal with the corpses of these twenty or so people.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Catch that woman and it's yours. After you're done, it's your brothers' turn, right? Hurry up and work hard for me!"

The person at the head gave an order, and the wing room, which was slightly moving, returned to silence.

The door was quietly pushed open, following the footprints on the dark passage, stepping on the light of the knife approaching with the toes, rustling the corners of the clothes against the railing... watching all this under the silent and bright moonlight.

In the pitch-dark house, with the thin moonlight outside the window, Cheng Chubi gestured at Yu Yu twice, and stood by the door holding a knife.

The "click" sound of the door being pushed was almost at the same time as Cheng Chubi's hand raised the knife and dropped it, the blood from the blast covered the table, and the poor-quality oil in the oil lamp was shaken twice, and the brown and yellow melted into the bright red blood.

Cheng Chubi stepped out of the threshold, and raised his hand to cover the door behind him.

Yu Yu sat by the window, the soft moonlight hit his side face, and the waves projected into the dark eyes were calm, with his hands hanging down on his knees.He turned his head slightly and saw a silent fight near the carriage in the backyard.

The speed and ferocity are indistinguishable from that of Cheng Chubi.

They were ordinary people laughing and cursing during the day, but under the cover of night, the servants of the convoy slaughtered with ease like cutting straw, taking away the attacking figures one by one.

Yu Yu watched the whole process calmly.

The bandits have mental calculations but they don't have a heart, but they also have a mental calculation.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, but the oriole is still behind.

With her fingers resting on her knees, Yu Yu tapped the time lightly. In the silent darkness, she quietly recited the classics of poetry and books, as if she didn't hear the sound outside the window.

Hey.

Da da.

Blood dripped from the knife Cheng Chubi was carrying, staining the soles of his shoes red.He glanced at the dark door behind him and grinned.This young gentleman seems to have some guts, and he can still be so natural amidst the strong smell of blood.

Cheng Chubi looked up at Cheng Yiding who was stepping on the dead body at the end of the corridor, "Everyone has been killed?"

"Two heads were left." He said while holding the handle of the knife.

Cheng Chubi snorted softly, and this fierce and silent struggle disappeared in a moment, and it could only be regarded as a simple warm-up for them.

He casually stuck the knife in the corridor, and then pushed open the door behind him, "Yu Yu, are you okay?"

The sound of slight footsteps came, and a thin silhouette gradually appeared from the window of the house, and the thin moonlight dyed some soft halos, only to hear Yu Yu say lightly: "Brother Cheng is really powerful."

Cheng Chubi laughed, and wiped the blood from his palms on his body. He raised his hand and patted Yu Yu's shoulder, and strode out with his arms around him. Your guts are!"

slid --

That was the sound of soles stepping in a pool of blood.

Yu Yu's fingers hidden in his sleeves twitched slightly, then curled up and leaned quietly against his body, "Are you left alive?"

"of course."

Cheng Chubi led Yu Yu to the first floor, and there were more or less dead bodies lying outside the inn's building. After all, the bandits wanted to massacre at the very beginning.In their eyes, this group of fat sheep has already been fascinated by Xiao Er's medicine, and it is only a blink of an eye to toss.

The lobby of the inn was not gray in mid-winter, and the four corners were already lit with bean-sized oil lamps. It was barely possible to see clearly that the faces of the two people who were kneeling under pressure were all blue and purple. It seemed that they had received a lot of punches.

Yu Yu recognized one as the waiter in the inn.

Cheng Chubi began to interrogate the two remaining unlucky ones.

At this time, Cheng Chubi was not as simple and honest as he looked on the outside, he was born in the barracks, not to mention that Cheng Zhijie was one of the biggest soldier ruffians, he was easy to catch both soft and hard methods.

Without making a sound, the arms of the two unlucky ones were removed, followed by the fingers.

The pain in the joints, even the most tough guy can't help but scream in pain, not to mention the man who is obviously the leader of the bandit. I got snot and tears streaming down my nose, and I still choked on my breath from time to time, "I... ah ah ah... I said, ah, don't break it, it hurts, I said, I said, I said... After the courtyard is closed, there are theirs behind the courtyard. The stockade, there are about [-] to [-] bandits in the stockade, I just took their money..."

Cheng Chubi let go of his arm with a severed finger, raised his eyebrows and looked at the two men guarding the door, and immediately someone went out to check.

After a while, he came back and said, "There are about forty bandits in this inn."

That is to say, there are at least half of the people in the village.

Cheng Chubi rubbed the back of his head, "If this goes on again, there will still be some problems."

After all, in the terrain like Tianjingguan, even if there are only forty or fifty people, it is relatively easy to annihilate the twenty or so people.The people in the convoy are all strong men who can stand up to three, but in the face of such natural dangers, there are still some risks.

At this time, Yu Yu, who had been sitting on the sidelines watching the torture process with cold eyes, said silently: "Besides Xiao Er, there must be other spies in this village. He didn't explain clearly."

Cheng Chubi paused, then slowly lowered his head to look at the waiter who was whining softly, with a strange smile on his lips, "Well, that's very true..."

"Ahhhhhhhhh-"

Yu Yu lowered his eyebrows, his cold appearance seemed to be half asleep and half awake, and he didn't hear the resounding scream at all.

Standing in the corner, Cheng Jiajia Ding couldn't help swallowing. He remembered that Yu Yu hadn't been moved in the slightest since he saw the blood until now.

It stands to reason... As a normal person, this should be the first time he saw such a tragic situation.

How can you be so indifferent?

After a long while, Cheng Chubi casually walked to Yu Yu's side, raised his hand to wipe off the blood splashed on his forehead, and said with a smile, "One in the northeast corner building, one in each of the villages and towns, and one on the opposite side."

It seems that the news has already leaked.

If the bandits were successful, it stands to reason that the spies would have received the message from the inn.

It's not yet dawn.

The sound of hooves came first.

Not even a curfew could stop Cheng Chubi's wantonness.

Hearing the sound of the hooves of the horse leaving, Yu Yu looked up at Bai Shuang and the others who had been invited down from the stairs, and said softly, "I'll just wait here." His
