As the knock on the door rang, not long after, a creak was heard. The door was opened. A head poked out from inside. He glanced at Zhu Muwu, then looked around, and immediately shrank away. He went back, and Zhu Muwu also rushed into the door with a single stride. Immediately afterwards, the five subordinates hid in several corners of the alley. The door creaked and was closed tightly again.
After Zhu Muwu followed the man into the door, there was an ordinary wing room behind the door. There was no furniture in the room. There was just an Eight Immortals table placed in the center with a few chairs next to it. After entering the room, Zhu Muwu He directly found a chair and sat down. Then he said to the person who opened the door: "How is it? Have you checked it out?"
"Speaking to your lord." The man was wearing very ordinary clothes. He was very thin. At first glance, he looked like the kind of gangster who lives at the bottom. But when he faced Zhu Muwu, his face was full of respect and he did not dare to overstep the mark. . said to Zhu Muwu: "It has been found out. There is a family named Shang in the city who moved to Hu County from other places decades ago. But no one knows where they moved from. They They act very low-key. They don't interact with people often, and I don't see what they do for a living. But they have no worries about food and clothing."
"The surname is Shang." After hearing the gangster's answer, Zhu Muwu frowned. This time he personally came out of Jianyang Valley and came to this county. The purpose was to help Wanhe find out the whereabouts of the Shang treasure. As early as Half a month ago, Zhu Muwu had eliminated the various religions in Hu County. These gangsters were undoubtedly the most convenient way to find some information. And this time, Zhu Muwu also heard that important clues had been found in Hu County, so he came here in person. After listening to the gangster's answer, Zhu Muwu also fell into deep thought. Could the surname Shang have anything to do with the Shang treasure? After thinking for a moment, Zhu Muwu raised his head again and said: "About this family surnamed Shang. Any clues?"
"Yes, sir." Although this gangster seemed to be no different, in fact, he was already scared to death. But he saw with his own eyes that one of the subordinates of the man in front of him killed the leader of the largest gang in Hu County. As for the murderer, he seemed to be just an inconspicuous pawn under the man in front of him. God knows where these people came from. In short, he only knew that he could not afford to offend such people. Hearing the other party asking him questions, the gangster didn't dare to delay. He immediately replied: "Although this family surnamed Shang never leaves home, as long as they stay in Hu County, how can the villain fail to find it? their situation."
Speaking of this, the gangster felt a little proud. But when Zhu Muwu's cold gaze turned around, the gangster immediately shuddered and became honest immediately. He continued: "There are five people in this family. Among them, Mrs. Shang is the head of this family. I heard that he is over eighty years old. However, his health is not very good. He has been bedridden all year round. And Mr. Shang has only one son, named Shang Minghe, who is a scholar. His wife died young, but she did not have a second marriage. She has been studying at home. Although Shang Minghe's wife died young, Shang Minghe gave birth to two sons and a daughter. However, the oldest of the three children was already twenty-five and the youngest was twenty-five. But he was only eleven or twelve years old. In addition to these people, the merchant also had a housekeeper, a cook and a servant. These three people were all children of the merchant's own family. They were not bought from Hu County. Servant."
The so-called family-born children are children born to domestic slaves. They have been slaves and maids for generations. Generally speaking, such people are the most loyal to their masters. Zhu Muwu also nodded lightly. Strictly speaking Said that he is also a son of the Wan family. If it weren't for Wan He's support, he would probably only be a servant of the Wan family in this life. But even Zhu Muwu is now a real general. But he has no regard for the Wan family. Your loyalty will never change.
After hearing the gangster's answer, Zhu Muwu also felt that the family named Shang was suspicious. However, Zhu Muwu had no intention of acting rashly. After all, this was the territory of the Li family. He wanted to find the Shang treasure without being discovered by the Li family. You must act with caution. Zhu Muwu immediately asked a few more details. After getting the answer, Zhu Muwu nodded and said to the gangster: "You did a good job in this matter. I will naturally reward you greatly." .Next, you must help me continue to keep an eye on this business. If there is anything..."
"Ah." Before Zhu Muwu could finish his words, a scream suddenly came from outside. Zhu Muwu's brows suddenly raised. A light flashed in his eyes. He stood up and rushed to the door with a quick stride. Finally, he did not open the door immediately. Instead, he leaned his face against the door. At the same time, he made a silent gesture towards the gangster behind him. However, the gangster's legs were already weak from fear. Where can I still make a sound?
"Hmm." Zhu Muwu, who was leaning his face behind the door panel and listening carefully to what was going on outside, suddenly frowned. Then, he immediately pulled back. His whole body followed suit. And just when Zhu Muwu stepped back, In an instant, an arrow shot directly from the door panel. It flew after Zhu Muwu. It was only one side of Zhu Muwu's body that escaped the attack of the arrow. Although Zhu Muwu escaped a The initial attack, but seeing that the arrow was so powerful and in such a small space, if the other party really wanted to attack, there was no way he could dodge it.
As soon as this idea flashed through Zhu Muwu's mind, he heard a sound coming from outside. Zhu Muwu, who had been in the army for many years, immediately recognized it. It was the sound of a bow string playing. Zhu Muwu's expression changed immediately. In desperation, he grabbed the gangster who was still in a daze and blocked it directly in front of him. At this moment, he heard a dense popping sound and countless arrows. Shot in from outside the wall of the door. The thick wall could not block the powerful arrows at all. And just as Zhu Muwu had expected before, in such a small room, there was no way he could avoid such a dense arrow. Arrow attack.
Fortunately, Zhu Muwu grabbed a shield in front of him. All the arrows shot at Zhu Muwu fell on the gangster. The poor gangster didn't even have time to say a word and was pierced into a hedgehog by the arrows. Zhu Muwu was hiding behind him. He was not completely uninjured. His body was wider than that gangster. Several arrows also left wounds on his shoulders, thighs and other exposed areas.
"Hmph." He silently calculated the arrow attack. Zhu Muwu also knew that he could not sit still and wait for death. After this round of attacks was over, Zhu Muwu immediately rushed towards the door carrying the body that had turned into a pile of rotten flesh. How could the door, which had already been shot out with holes, block Zhu Muwu's impact? It suddenly shattered into pieces of wood. Zhu Muwu also rushed out of the door and threw the body in his hand out. At this moment Several strong winds came towards Zhu Muwu from both sides. Zhu Muwu didn't even look. He lowered his head and stretched his hands to the left and right. But he grabbed the wrists of both hands. Then he twisted his hands and heard. There were two screams and several clangs. The two single swords fell to the ground. Zhu Muwu also rolled to the ground. When he stood up, he already had two more single swords in his hand.
Only then did Zhu Muwu see the surrounding situation clearly. He saw that the alley, which was not wide, was crowded with thirty or forty soldiers wearing armor. About twenty of them were archers. They were in the room just now. Needless to say, the rain of arrows inside was the work of these archers. And Zhu Muwu could also see it clearly. Not far from the alley, five of his subordinates were already lying in a pool of blood. They died with their eyes open.
Seeing the death of his subordinates, Zhu Muwu also felt a surge of anger in his heart. But he did not lose his calm because of this. He held the single sword in both hands. He turned his wrist and rushed towards one of the directions. The single sword in his hand He spotted the soldier closest to him and swung his hand. Immediately, the soldier's head was chopped off.
Zhu Muwu was so fierce in the midst of a tight siege, which shocked the soldiers. But they were just stunned for a moment. Although Zhu Muwu was fierce, he was only one person. There were so many people on his side, and there were so many more. Maybe the archers couldn't capture one of them. Thinking of this, the soldiers roared angrily. They all raised their weapons and rushed towards Zhu Muwu.
Zhu Muwu did not dare to fight with these soldiers. This is the city of the Li family. Although it is only a small county town, there are hundreds of defenders in the city. If it takes too long, all the defenders will come over. He It was difficult to fly even with wings. So Zhu Muwu also had his sights set on one direction, gritted his teeth and kept rushing forward.
Just when Zhu Muwu rushed out for more than ten steps in a row, suddenly, several sounds broke through the air. However, the archers had already bent their bows and set arrows again. They aimed at Zhu Muwu and shot over. Only more than ten arrows were seen. The black shadow flashed in the air and flew towards Zhu Muwu's back quickly. Facing the attack of these arrows, Zhu Muwu did not dare to continue running forward even if he tried hard. He twisted and turned. He turned around and saw the arrows flying towards him. He waved the single sword with both hands repeatedly and shot down those arrows one after another.
"Ah." Zhu Muwu yelled. However, an arrow still passed through his sword and hit him in the thigh. But Zhu Muwu could bear it. Although the arrow was stuck in his thigh, Zhu Muwu couldn't. It had no impact at all. He just screamed like this. The two swords in his hands were still slashing at the surroundings.
