Asura Fields Everywhere in Soochow

When they came to the scene of the crime, only messy footprints were left in the backyard.

Witnesses have only one servant.He saw two masked thieves with a child in their arms, and they jumped out of the wall.Of the two children, one was Lu Ji, and the other was confirmed by the guests to be Han Wei.

After all, the perch from Huating was wrongly paid, no one cared about the delicacies tonight, and the banquet ended hastily.

After Lu Xun heard the news, he took people out to look for it. Sun Wu and Sun Shangxiang stayed at Lu's house to prevent the enemy from killing him.

Thinking that Lu Ji's bumpy growth period had added some ups and downs, Sun Wu was furious, and unconsciously blamed Sun Shangxiang for this matter.

"Why don't you like Han Wei? Why do you want her to lure Lu Ji to the backyard?"

Sun Shangxiang was sitting on the mat in the front hall, and she was waiting anxiously. When Sun Wu asked her to blame, she immediately turned back: "You asked us to talk to him, and I didn't want to. Wei Wei is kind, she sees that Lu Gongji is pitiful, and I thought about obeying my elder sister in everything, so I went. And why do you say that she lured Lu Gongji to the backyard? Can she call the master away as a guest? Even if you want to settle the score, you should settle the score With Lu Gongji, don't rely on good people like this."

"..." Knowing that it was not the right time to get angry, Sun Wu stopped arguing with her.But she believed in Lu Ji's IQ 100% in her heart, since something happened the night before, there was no reason for Lu Ji to take another child to the backyard... After Yuan Yao's incident, she dare not completely trust Han Wei at the moment.

It's just that the facts are still unclear, even if there is doubt, Sun Wu has no choice but to tell himself to calm down first, and find a way to rescue Lu Ji before talking.

Sun Shangxiang and Sun Wu held back their irritability and sat facing each other for a long time, until the pine oil lamp in front of them was about to burn out, neither of them felt sleepy.

There were still hurried footsteps back and forth outside the door, finally Sun Shangxiang couldn't bear the anxious atmosphere and asked, "Sister, do you think something will happen to them?"

Sun Wu was not sure, so he simply replied: "Although the government can't count on it, people from the Lu family and the Gu family are searching everywhere in the city. The city gate is closed at night, and the thieves can't leave the city. If there is an accident, what happened? , you will always know when the dawn comes."

As she said this, her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered the point that they had overlooked——

All their arrangements are based on the fact that the enemy cannot leave the city.However, is the city gate really closed at this time?

Zhu Zhi can be sent away, can the defenders really be trusted?

When dawn came, Lu Xun still found nothing.

When he returned home exhausted, there was no good news waiting for him.

Gu Shao just came back from the government office, with two patches of blue in his eyes.His voice was already hoarse because of the busy work all night, "Zhu Junli is not here, he handed over all the affairs of the city to Master Lu. Master Lu followed the rules, I told him that there are thieves in the city now, maybe they are related to Shanyue, They should be arrested behind closed doors, but he didn't listen, saying that people's livelihood must not be hindered, and the city gate must be opened today."

If the thief escapes after opening the city gate, it will be more difficult to find.Not knowing what Lu Ji was about to face, Lu Xun didn't feel sleepy because of his anxiety, "I'm going to guard the gate of the city now."

After speaking, he rushed to the gate of the city without stopping.

When they arrived, the city gate was already wide open, and there were two or three civilians coming in and out.At the edge of the city gate, Sun Shangxiang was standing on a high place, staring at the passing crowd.

Sun Shangxiang was in a mess at first, but when she saw Lu Xun, she started chatting, "You are finally here. My sister was worried at night, so we rushed here before dawn. But for some reason, the gate of the city was opened very early this morning. Very early, when we came, there were already people coming in and out. My sister was worried that the thief had already left the city, so she went out to pursue it alone."

Lu Xun's heart sank to the bottom. He wanted to question the soldiers guarding the city, but was stopped by Sun Shangxiang, "You don't need to ask, they can't tell you why. I cross-examined them a few times, and they only said it was an order from the commander."

"Have you checked all the people who went out of the city?" Lu Xun stopped and asked her.

Sun Shangxiang nodded, "There was a couple going out of the city with a pair of children early in the morning. I'm afraid it's a thief in disguise."

Sun Shangxiang is a big kid, and he speaks in an orderly manner.Looking at her childish figure, Lu Xun still couldn't feel at ease. He was about to get some news from the soldiers, when suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes outside the city gate.

Lu Xun turned his head to look, and saw Sun Wu wearing a red dress and riding on a horse. She was strong and graceful, and the horse's hooves kicked up dust under her body, and she was about to rush into the city gate like the wind.

There was a noise at the gate of the city, and horses were not allowed in the city. While shouting at her, the guards raised their weapons and prepared to intercept her.

The steed never slowed down, and Sun Wu tightened the reins when he was about to reach the gate of the city.The horseman stood up and landed steadily in front of the guard.

The two guards were frightened by her posture and took two steps back. When the horse stood still, one of them shouted: "Big, bold!"

"Don't dare." Sun Wu quickly got off his horse and didn't get too entangled with the guards.After inspecting the horse and belongings to the guards, he immediately led the horse into the city.

"Sister!" Sun Shangxiang waved at her.

Looking at the two tired and eager people in front of him, Sun Wu glanced at the guard behind him, and said in a low voice, "We'll talk when we go back."

So, after a busy night, when they returned to the front hall of the Lu family, Lu Xun, Sun Wu, Gu Shao, and Sun Shangxiang sat together tiredly.

Sun Wu took out a piece of blue cloth from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Xun, "Do you think it belongs to Lu Ji?"

Lu Xun took it.

The strip of cloth in front of my eyes was stained with blood, and the edges were irregular and crumpled up—it was torn off from the clothes with bare hands, and held tightly in the palm of my hand, so there would be such traces.It should be what Lu Ji did when he was hiding in the city last night.

Gu Shao also saw the strip of cloth, he closed his eyes and sighed, "Uncle was wearing a blue robe last night."

"Where did you find it?" Putting down the cloth strip, Lu Xun looked at Sun Wu.

Sun Wu: "At the foot of Qionglong Mountain. There are shrubs all the way up. It's hard to walk. I had to bring this cloth back first."

Gu Shao's sorrow was palpable, "Qianlong Mountain? It really is Shanyue. The former leader of Shanyue, Yan Baihu, has been killed, and there should be only some remnants in the mountain. It is not difficult to deal with... It's just that the terrain of Qionglong Mountain is complicated, so search I'm afraid it will be troublesome."

"Although it is a remnant of evil, it seems to have colluded with the government. Otherwise, how can we easily send people out of the city?" Thinking of the key, Lu Xun couldn't help but clenched his hands.

Sun Wu rode wildly for a long time. At this time, she didn't sit on her knees for a while, but her legs felt a little sore. She changed to sitting cross-legged. To deal with the elder brother, he has already colluded with Yan Baihu. There are many old friends of Chen Yu in Wu County, and perhaps some of them are acquainted with Shanyue, so it is not difficult for the remnants of the two sides to collude with each other."

After all, in the eyes of some Wujun people, a thief like Sun Ce is just more respectable than a thief like Yan Baihu.

Several people were silent for a moment, Gu Shao frowned and asked: "...Why was uncle taken into captivity? He has a good temper and is young, so he shouldn't have any grudges against others."

No one knew the reason why Lu Ji was taken into captivity. Sun Wu had an intuition that it was related to her, but she couldn't find a clue at all in the memories she could recall at this time.

"Sitting here and thinking is just a waste of time, and waiting will only make us more passive." Lu Xun stood up from the seat, walked to the wall, was about to take off the bow hanging on the wall, and finally replaced it with the bow on the other side. crossbow.

"Bo Yan, where are you going?" Seeing Lu Xun going outside, Gu Shao also stood up immediately.

Lu Xun never stopped, "I led a team to Qionglong Mountain to search."

"You haven't slept all night, or take a rest first..."

Seeing Lu Xun holding the crossbow, Sun Wu felt uncomfortable for no reason.But with Lu Ji in mind, she got up immediately, "I'll be with you..."

However, neither of them finished speaking, suddenly an arrow shot into the main hall, and with a "dong", it nailed a piece of silk cloth to the wall.

Sun Wu went out to investigate without hesitation, but Lu Xun pulled out the arrow and took off the silk cloth, only to see a map of Qionglong Mountain.There are no words on the map, but a place on the mountainside is marked in color, luring him to go here.

"No one was found." Not long after, Sun Wu came back out of breath, and looked at the map in his hand.

Lu Xun was right, the enemy couldn't enter the city, and even if they did, they might not be able to fight the Lu family.But now that the enemy has come to lure the snake out of the hole, it is obvious that they want to shift the battlefield and tell them to throw themselves into the trap.

After reading the map in their hands, the two looked at each other, and suddenly they had a tacit understanding again.

It's clearly a trap, but they've got to go.
