Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 150 Swords and Swords Dye the Dusk (2)
Lu Ning stared at him and said slowly word by word: "Since we know that Lingzhou is rainy in autumn, why don't we renovate the roof before the rainy season? Also, all the roofs are intact, why did the roof of the accounting room suddenly break?
So many holes? Furthermore, when I came, the door of the accounting room was ajar. Don’t you know the importance of the accounting room and never lock the door?”
Elder Yun was slightly startled and asked hurriedly: "Does the young gang leader think that someone did this deliberately?"
Lu Ning smiled coldly and said: "Did anyone do this deliberately? Who did it come from? Please give me an explanation as soon as possible, Elder Yun and Manager Ye! I don't want to be torn apart because of this matter.
Face over the years!"
"Yes! I will definitely give the young gang leader a satisfactory explanation!" Elder Yun cupped his fists and held his hands in a very respectful manner.
Lu Ning rolled her eyes at him, turned around and left with Hu Qi.
She knew that someone was deliberately destroying these account books, trying to cover up something. She also knew that the Lingzhou branch must be covering up for each other, and they would not hand over the real culprit, and maybe everyone was the real culprit!
The reason why she said that was not to find the real murderer, but to see what other tricks they had!
Hu Qi held an umbrella for Lu Ning, and Lu Ning walked her to the door of the room under the moonlight.
"This matter will not be revealed in a day or two." Hu Qi stopped at the door of the room and whispered: "It's not worth getting angry over this, but it will give those people an advantage!"
"Don't worry, I'm not so narrow-minded." Lu Ning turned around and smiled faintly at him: "Oh, by the way. The pear soup you made... is delicious."
"As long as you like." Hu Qi held the door for her and said softly, "Go to rest early."
Lu Ning passed by him and walked into the door. When he looked back, he found that Hu Qi was still staring at him with a smile, and there was a twinge in his eyes like blue waves.
Lu Ning couldn't help but be surprised.
"There are assassins!" Suddenly a harsh shout pierced the night sky.
Hu Qiyi was stunned. Before he could realize what was happening, he felt a soft and smooth hand pull his arm and pull him into the house. He suddenly fell into darkness.
Hu Qi was still in shock. Suddenly, he smelled a soft fragrance and realized that he was being pulled into Lu Ning's boudoir.
"Miss Lu, what happened?" Hu Qi asked in a low voice.
"Shh." Lu Ning covered his mouth and ordered in a very low voice: "Don't talk yet. You stay here, I'll go take a look." After saying that, he started to walk out.
"Wait a minute!" Hu Qi grabbed Lu Ning's arm and said hesitantly: "Miss Lu, these people may be...the assassins who are chasing me. They have extraordinary skills. You must be careful!"
Lu Ning was startled, then walked to the window, opened the window a crack, and looked out warily.
Hu Qi also took a look outside and said seriously: "Miss Lu, if the other party has a large number of people, please hand me over. In this way, the caravan will be safe."
Lu Ning looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that this helpless young man could actually say such righteous and awe-inspiring words. He couldn't help but look at him differently...
"What are you talking about?" Lu Ning smiled knowingly and reassured: "Do you think the people in the caravan are all drunkards? I said I would send you to Shengjing safely, so I wouldn't leave you halfway!"
"Miss Deer..." Hu Qi looked at her gratefully, feeling a wave of emotions in her heart.
On the other side, Ye Guming, who was sleeping, suddenly sat up and woke up with a start. He held his breath and listened clearly to the sound of fighting coming from the yard.
"There is an assassin!" He immediately jumped out of bed, picked up the sword beside him, and pushed Toto aside.
Toto suddenly woke up and shouted: "Who dares to make trouble for the caravan! I told them that I am so powerful!"
With that said, the two of them each held their weapons and immediately opened the door and walked out.
The moon was sparse and the wind was freezing. In the pitch-black night, a group of masked men in black were seen in the yard, holding weapons and fighting with their caravan brothers.
"Who dares to trespass on the caravan!"
With an angry shout,
Ye Guming waved his single sword and slashed at the group of assassins first.
Where the sword flashed, everyone close to him was hit by the sword and fell to the ground.
"Where did you get the thief from? Your Grandpa Toto is here!" Toto's rough voice sounded next.
He jumped up and waved the mace in his hand. The golden nails on the stick shone in the moonlight. With a few bangs, the brains of several men in black who were hit exploded and they fell to the ground dead.
The rest of the brothers used long swords, spears, steel whips, or bronze hammers, and used eighteen kinds of weapons to kill the man in black.
Seeing that their own people were at a disadvantage, the men in black suddenly whistled.
As soon as the voice fell, dozens of men in black suddenly appeared on the four walls of the caravan's yard. They were bending their bows and arrows, pointing their cold arrows directly at everyone in the yard.
There were flashes of cold light in the dark night, and Ye Guming immediately shouted: "No, there are crossbowmen ambushing us, everyone needs to retreat quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow tore through the night sky and rushed down.
Ye Guming quickly dodged and grabbed the feather arrow. Seeing this, the other brothers scattered around, looking for cover to hide.
The leader of the men in black smiled coldly, and following an order, countless feathered arrows were shot densely into the courtyard like locusts crossing the border.
Ye Guming, who was hiding behind a tree, watched helplessly as arrows shot into Ma Huilan and Lu Ning's rooms.
A dart suddenly flew out of the darkness and went straight to his abdomen. Toto rushed out of the darkness and knocked him down. The dart passed by and the two narrowly escaped.
Unexpectedly, another hidden dart flew out right after him, hitting Ye Guming's thigh. He let out a cry and was immediately dragged back behind the tree by Toto.
Seeing the overwhelming rain of arrows coming, Lu Ning, who was hiding in the house, screamed secretly. She immediately closed the window, pulled Hu Qi beside her, and hid in a cabinet by the wall.
The cabinet was not big, so the two of them squatted next to each other inside, listening carefully to what was going on outside.
The delicate fragrance on the girl's body intertwined with the plum fragrance on the boy's body. The hot breath of the other's breath blew onto his face. Their heartbeats actually formed a harmonious melody.
Lu Ning, who had always been self-possessed, also felt a little uncomfortable. She tried her best to control her heartbeat and breathing, lowered her eyes slightly, and did not look at the man beside her. Although she could feel Hu Qi's burning eyes staring closely at him.
Hold yourself.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lu, Hu is dragging you down again." Hu Qi whispered in her ear, and the heat made Lu Ning's fair face red.
"Master Hu, we still don't know who these assassins are here for. It's too early to say that they will be implicated." Lu Ning looked away as much as possible to avoid this overwhelming ambiguity.
"Miss Lu, we..." Hu Qigang was about to speak.
Lu Ning put his index finger on Ying's lips and said "Shh" to signal him not to speak.
Immediately, she leaned against the cabinet door and listened carefully. There was no sound of fighting outside, so she slowly opened the cabinet door and cautiously stepped out. Hu Qi then stepped out of the closet, but was shocked by the mess in front of her:
Thousands of hundreds of feather arrows pierced through the window and shot straight into the house. There were feather arrows all over the table, wall, bed, and even the cupboard door where they were hiding.
Hu Qi looked at the thick cabinet door and broke into a cold sweat - if Lu Ning hadn't hid here with him in time, the two of them would have been sieved by now.
"How could this happen?" Hu Qi stood there numbly, a little at a loss.
"If these people are really coming after you, then they are not ordinary bandits!" Lu Ning pulled up an arrow and looked at it carefully, and said with a sneer.
Hu Qi was slightly surprised and asked, "Could it be that they are here for someone else?"
Lu Ning held the feather arrow tightly and said nothing, with an unreadable expression on his face.
Just at this moment, Toto's cry came from the window: "Uncle Ye has been hit by a dart!"
Lu Ning was shocked and rushed out of the door.
She glanced at the dozens of corpses that had died tragically in the courtyard. Where she looked, Ye Guming was sitting slumped under the tree, with a silver dart inserted deep into his right thigh.
Lu Ning rushed forward and asked doubtfully: "Wasn't it an arrow just now? Why did the dart suddenly appear?"
Toto cursed angrily: "Humph! Hidden weapons flew out of nowhere. Uncle Ye dodged the first one, but was shot in the thigh by the second one!"
Lu Ning checked the wound and saw that the blood flowing out was bright red, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "This dart is not poisonous. Help Uncle Ye into the house to rest. Hurry and find a doctor to come over and treat his injury!"
Hu Qi glanced around and suddenly exclaimed: "Where is Mrs. Ye? Why isn't she here? Nothing will happen to her..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Ning pulled him and winked at him: "Let me go see Mrs. Ye. Uncle Ye must be injured and she must be very worried."
But Ye Guming grabbed him and said with a trembling voice, "Young leader, don't disturb her. She must be asleep at this time. And I don't want her to worry! Let's go inside first and check the injury first!"
Lu Ning pondered slightly before nodding.
Without saying a word, Totuo put Ye Guming on his back and ran back to the house in large strides.
Lu Ning was about to follow, but Hu Qi grabbed him.
Lu Ning looked at Hu Qi steadily: "What's wrong?"
Hu Qi said "shush" and turned around to walk towards Ma Huilan's room.
The two of them groped in the dark and ran all the way to Ma Huilan's door.
Lu Ning looked at him holding her hand and couldn't help but feel his face getting slightly hot.
She pulled her hand away and said slightly, "Why did you drag me here?"
Hu Qi put her hand to her lips and said in a deep voice, "Miss Lu, don't you think it's strange? There was so much movement in the yard just now. Almost everyone in the caravan came out, but Mrs. Duduye didn't come out!
"
Lu Ning was startled when he heard this, and his heart suddenly twitched: "Could something happen to Mrs. Ye?"
Hu Qi sighed and muttered: "I was also worried that something would happen to her, so I wanted to come and have a look. But I was also worried that she was just asleep. It would be bad for me as a man to barge in rashly, so I brought Miss Lu here! Where I have offended, I still hope.
Miss Lu, you are considerate!" After saying that, he bowed to Lu Ning, which was very polite.
Lu Ning relaxed his brows and smiled slightly: "Master Hu is really serious, let me go in and take a look!"
Lu Ning was about to push the door open when a burst of sweet laughter suddenly came from the door. Lu Ning's raised hand suddenly stopped.
Hu Qi thought about lightning, grabbed Lu Ning, and said hesitantly: "Miss Lu, otherwise... let's wait a little longer..."
