"Can you tell me what you saw? What kind of strength is the assassin probably?" Shen Zhen asked Bai Guard.
Bai Weiwei said sadly: "The assassin probably sneaked in through the window when Madam came outside. When Madam went to greet Mr. Yu, he suddenly drew his sword. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yu was extremely skilled in martial arts and flew to block Madam. This sword, after penetrating Biao Yu's head, still stabbed the lady.
After being hit in the head by the sword, Biao Yu turned around and slapped the assassin so hard that he vomited blood and retreated. However, the pair of palms from the two of them knocked me and the lady back several steps. The assassin was probably seriously injured this time. Seeing me He stepped forward and broke through the window.
I was so excited that I didn't care about Madam or Miss's injuries. I just wanted to kill that guy. Unfortunately, I wasn't good at it, so I watched him running further and further away, disappearing..."
"Yu Biaotou is a master of the Eight Meridians, and he rarely encounters opponents in Ganzhou City. Is the assassin really that powerful? Why not strike on the way?" Shen Zhenfu's mind is also very clear. He himself has only just touched the Six Meridians. The threshold, and the white guard only has four veins. Although the madam has also practiced martial arts, one of them has four veins, the other has three veins, and those personal soldiers only have two or three veins, so they should not be able to stop the assassin's attack.
"The assassin's internal strength may not be very strong. When we were attacked in Yelang Ridge, the opponent had a Six-Pulse master who was fighting with Commander Gu. However, he was hit by a sneak attack by this assassin. Commander Shi Lin was killed and injured. When we came to our senses and surrounded the opponent's six-meridian master, the assassins were no match for our formation attack. Four people, including the master, were killed by us. Only the narrow-sword-wielding assassin and another one were killed. The man escaped. He is a bit short in stature and has great Qinggong skills. I estimate that he only has the power of six meridians at most." Bai Huwei said.
"Since you don't know the skill of this assassin, how do you know that the person you are fighting against Commander Gu is a master of the Six Meridians?" Shen Zhenfu asked. Generally, it is difficult for people with weak skills to know the opponent's strength, especially those with high skills. When more than two meridians emerge.
"Because we know that Gu Commander Shi has six meridians, and if he can be on par with him, he should also be six meridians." Bai Huwei replied.
Shen Zhenfu nodded, thinking that this was the only possibility. Now that the assassin had received a palm, he should have been seriously injured. However, there was no way to dispatch manpower to hunt for him, but what if the assassin still had someone with comparable strength? My friend, this was not going to be easy, so he thought about returning to Ganzhou City, so he asked Mrs. Han: "Madam, I am thinking that this place is more than 300 miles away from Suzhou, but less than 200 miles away from Ganzhou. , how about we return to Ganzhou first, send Biaotou Yu back first, and then I can send more people to escort you to Suzhou?"
Guard Bai looked at Mrs. Han hesitantly and asked softly: "Madam..."
Seeing that Mrs. Han was still crying and not answering, Shen Zhen said, "Now that escort leader Yu is gone, the old lady will only have one son left. You still have to go back and comfort the old lady."
"Yes, Auntie, why don't you go back to Ganzhou first? I'm Xiu Yi. I'll ask my father to send more people, and we can go together." The apprentice of Yu Biaotou knew how powerful his master was, but he was also After being stabbed to death with a sword, he couldn't help but worry about Mrs. Han and her daughter, so he also spoke up.
Guard Bai hurriedly said: "Master Shen, we have issued a military order. If we miss the date, the dignitaries in Suzhou City will laugh at the general."
Mrs. Han may have been overly sad or unable to make a choice, so she closed her eyes and fainted. "Mother! Mother!" her daughter Han Rui screamed.
Shen Zhenfu hurriedly stepped forward and put his hand on Mrs. Han's wrist, and said in shock: "The sword injury is not a problem, it must be that the internal meridians were injured when escort Yu and the assassin met each other!"
He Qizhou downstairs heard this and hurriedly ran upstairs and said to the soldier guarding the stairs: "I know some medical skills, please let me go up and have a look!"
The soldiers also heard what was going on upstairs, and did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly accompanied He Qizhou upstairs. The people upstairs also heard He Qizhou's words, and seeing him rushing up, Shen Zhenfu was still a little worried, and said: "Boy, don't do it. Show off your skills, where did you learn this medical skill?"
"I, I am a graduate of Tianxingyuan, and I still have wound medicine with me. Let me take a look at Madam's injury first." He Qizhou was quick to wit, and neither revealed his identity nor lied.
"Master Shen, let him take a look. This man is by no means an ordinary person, and the bow he carries is not simple!" Guard Bai can certainly be seen as a commander in chief's personal guard, so he can certainly tell that old bow. But not everyone can have it.
He Qizhou didn't care that the long bow still revealed some information, and had no time to care about it for a moment. Seeing that Shen Zhenfu didn't stop him, he squatted forward and took Mrs. Han's wrist from Shen Zhenfu's hand. After carefully distinguishing it, he found that Shen Zhenfu She was right, so she said: "Mrs. Han's blood is smooth, but she lost a lot of blood and her body is a little weak. However, she was shocked by the true energy and her lung meridian was slightly damaged. Fortunately, her internal strength is quite strong, so she should be able to take the medicine soon." Things will get better.”
Seeing Mrs. Han slowly waking up, He Qizhou said again: "Mrs. Yu, you have suffered some internal injuries. Be careful not to grieve excessively, as that can easily hurt your body. Also, it is best not to be bumped around by carriages and horses in a day or two. I will go back now. Get the medicine from your room." After saying that, he immediately got up and went downstairs to bring home-made Shenling Pills and Jinchuang Medicine from his room.
When Shen Zhen saw that what He Qizhou said was consistent with his judgment, he did not stop him. He just grabbed the medicine bottle and smelled it carefully. As soon as he opened the bottle cap, the room was filled with the strong fragrance of medicine.
He Qizhou secretly laughed in his heart, if he really added poison, you wouldn't be able to smell it! After Mrs. Han and her daughter looked at each other, Mrs. Han said to He Qizhou: "Little brother, I believe you, I am the commander-in-chief of Suzhou." , Come to think of it, it’s not a secret, are you willing to work under the clumsy husband’s account?”
He Qizhou actually had a hundred intentions in his heart, but the ranch agreement had to be completed first, so he looked at Mrs. Han, who was pale but kind-faced, and said, "Thank you, madam. I'll talk about it after I go to Anxi Racecourse to meet my uncle first. If there is a war, I will definitely come! One pill of this medicine in the morning and one in the evening. Madam, please take one pill now. Don’t be in a hurry to do your own exercises to heal your injuries. Let’s sleep overnight and talk about it tomorrow. The Jinchuang medicine works very quickly. , after we leave later, ask your daughter to help you apply it." After saying that, he handed a bag of gold medicine to his daughter's hands.
Mrs. Han's daughter is named Han Rui. She is just seventeen years old this year. She has fair skin and a clear face. After carefully taking the medicine from He Qizhou's hand, she lowered her head and said thank you softly. He Qizhou didn't pay much attention to the other party at first, but when he heard the sound, Abnormal, he said: "The girl may have been injured by the zhenqi. How about I listen to your pulse?"
"No, no need." Han Rui hurriedly waved her hand and lowered her head even further.
"The little girl is shy, little brother, don't make fun of me, but she is far away. Although she only has three meridians, her foundation is better than mine, so she should be fine. If I really feel any discomfort, I will come to you again. Thank you very much. ." Mrs. Han said.
"Okay, it was me who was rude, but if you really feel uncomfortable, please come to me quickly." He Qizhou was still a little worried that the little girl had suffered internal injuries without knowing it, but it was impossible to forcefully grab someone's wrist.
Guard Bai took the medicine bottle from Shen Zhenfu's hand before Han Rui, poured out a pill, scraped off some powder and poured it into his mouth, and then handed the pill to Mrs. Han. Mrs. Han looked at He Qizhou apologetically, He Qizhou He didn't take it seriously at all, but he secretly admired Bai Wei's loyalty and bravery in his heart.
Shen Zhen felt that there should be nothing wrong with the pills and said, "Mrs. Han, you and your daughter can recuperate in this room, and let Guard Bai and Fang Ting be stationed outside." Seeing Mrs. Han nodding in agreement, he couldn't help but talk upstairs. Others said: "There must be an assassin's spy in the inn. Don't sleep tonight. Everyone, go to the lobby downstairs. We must find the spy!"
In the hall, nine soldiers were surrounding with knives to prevent anyone from escaping. The half-drunk shopkeeper woke up early and was sitting at the same table with three waiters. He Qizhou, the apprentice of Captain Yu, and the owner of the two rooms upstairs. Four guests and Shen Zhenfu were at the same table.
When Shen Zhenfu saw that everyone was here, he said: "Everyone, my name is Shen Yan, and I am the Zhenfu of the Ganzhou Wucha Division. Everyone knows about today's case. I think there must be an assassin in this hall. , so I beg you to cooperate, I need everyone in the hall to tell you about your identity and where you were at the time of the incident, let’s start with you!”
Shen Zhenfu pointed at a person, and He Qizhou recognized it as a middle-aged man who was looking out from the upper room on the east side. The person sitting next to him was similar in appearance and age to him, and both of them were guests living in the upper room on the east side.
The man said: "We two brothers are just businessmen passing by. We are waiting here for the business travelers coming from the west. We have been staying in the room after dark. Didn't you already conduct an interrogation when you came in? Why do you want to ask again? Also, Why do you have to ask me about it? How do I look like the murderer?" The businessman seemed a little angry at being regarded as a suspect.
Shen Yan didn't get angry and said: "Okay, let me say a few more words. When Master Yu and his disciples entered the courtyard, I, Captain Yu's apprentice, the three soldiers in the front yard, and the white guards were all at the door of the inn. Here, the shopkeeper is sleeping on his stomach in the hall, and my door is open. Because it is facing the door, I can see my subordinate Fang Ting in the room all the time, so we people cannot be the murderers, and others ——You all have to tell me what you were doing during this period, is there anyone who can testify?"
"Didn't the assassin escape? I heard Guard Bai saying that he had lost the man, so what does it have to do with us?" The first businessman asked was still not convinced.
"What I'm looking for now is not the assassin who killed escort leader Yu, but the murderer who killed the soldiers on the rooftop and the north wall. Each of you has a north window in your room, and you can sneak out to kill people, so everyone has to Let me start with you!" Shen Yan's face darkened and he pointed his finger directly at the tip of the businessman's nose.
