Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 46 Calamity
"I'm a timid person. If I don't figure out the reason why the bandit appeared, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares every night. Besides, the first time is a coincidence, and the second time is accidental. Do you have to wait until the third time to think about it?"

Hu Zi returned: "Shen Wu told me about the matter just now, we are discussing the whole story, but I just can't figure it out for a while, I wonder if Shannu has any clues?"

"I'm not the person involved, so there's definitely no clues. I can only try to analyze it with everyone. Let's think about the worst of the matter first. Assuming that the two groups of robbers are the same group, they are going after you." Bold hypothesis, careful verification .

"so what?"

"The bandits always come after Shin-oh, and I suspect they followed Shin-oh."

Shen Wu said: "I have never noticed if there are stalkers, but if they followed me, why didn't they attack Yangshou Mountain?"

"After the first attack, Axiu's father made up for the robbers. At that time, there were no survivors, so the robbers lost your whereabouts. And the second time you were attacked, it means that you were targeted again after you left Yangshou Mountain. "

"How did they find me again? I have changed all my clothes, except for the sword, everything else is new."

This was something Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't figure out at first, but she remembered another thing Axiu's father said.

"After leaving Yangshou Mountain, have you ever entered the city?"

"Yes, A Chai and I went to the city to buy some new year's goods. I thought it was" Shen Wu glanced at Hu Zigui and didn't continue.

"It's hard to find people in the mountains, but it's much easier to stay at the gate of the city."

"Shannu suspects that they found me in the city?"

"They may not know which city you will go to. It is not very difficult for each city to send two people to guard the gate."

"If so, it makes sense."

"It's just that there is one condition for this inference to be valid. They must have your portrait and send it to the thieves, which means that among the thieves there are people who know you."

The faces of everyone else in the room changed.

"Do you have an enemy? He keeps looking for you, even at the expense of killing people, and implicating innocent people. The other party either has big plans, or has a deep hatred against you."

"Enemies? If it is in Jiuhu, there are several enemies. But in this country, I am just a grasshopper with no roots in the rivers and lakes. I may offend others if I don't care about trivial matters. But if I want to say hatred, I don't think so. come out."

"If it's not seeking revenge, then it's a plot. Do you have what they want, or did you inadvertently do something to make them ask you to silence you?"

At this moment, Shen Wu seemed to remember something, his eyes seemed to want to look through the wall to the sleeping Green Slave next door, and then looked at Hu Zigui and Uncle Hu.

The three masters and servants have worked together for many years, and they have a tacit understanding. Judging from their expressions, they seem to want to go together.

The silence of the three made Lin Xiaoxiao feel uncomfortable.

The three of them obviously thought of the key to being attacked but didn't tell her, obviously they didn't trust her.

One must know that although Huzigui and the three called Shannv, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't get reputation points from them.

That's just right, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to involve too much at first, so now she can't be blamed for being a villain.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled.

"Several, I won't ask any more questions as an outsider. Right now, you can rest assured here to recuperate your injuries, and you can leave when you recover from your injuries. There is just one thing, you can't come back here after you leave. I'm serious, even if If you appear outside the ice wall again, you will not be allowed in."

Hu Zigui showed a wry smile.

Shen Wu was a little dazed.

Uncle Hu was a little angry, but held back.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt that it was better to speak clearly.

"I'm just a rough man in the mountains. What I want is a place to stay. I don't dare to participate in the important affairs of the nobles. When you plan to leave, you can let me know, and I will give you a generous Chengyi."

Lin Xiaoxiao expressed her attitude and went out without sitting down.She still has to take the children to continue strengthening the ice wall.

There are only three people left in the house with beards.

Hu Zigui asked Shen Wu with a serious face: "Aside from the sacrificial vessel, are there other strange things?"

Shen Wu said: "It's gone, the only thing that can attract the attention of others is the sacrificial vessel."

Uncle Hu said angrily: "Sure enough, it was the disaster caused by selling sacrificial vessels. It's all due to the green slave's self-assertion."

"Uncle!" Hu Zigui interrupted, "Now is not the time to talk about this."

Shen Wu's eyes darkened, thinking of the sleeping green slave.

Hu Zigui said to Shen Wu: "How did you sell the sacrificial vessel? And who did you sell it to? Come here in detail."

"I went to the capital and found Wen Shu."

Lu Nu asks Shen Wu to sell the old Hu sacrificial vessel.Most people can't afford sacrificial vessels, and dare not buy such things as sacrificial vessels.

Shen Wu traveled all over the rivers and lakes and met several knights, but he didn't know anyone who could buy sacrificial vessels, so he thought of Wen Shu.

At the beginning when everyone went their separate ways, Wen Shu took the money and stayed in the capital city of Huaguo, saying that it was for Hu Zigui to open up contacts, but in fact it was to seek a future for himself.

It's just that Wen Shu didn't do well. He met some wine and meat friends, drank and bragged every day, and didn't accomplish a single thing.

When Shen Wu found it, Wen Shu happened to be short of money, so he seriously found a buyer for the sacrificial vessel.

Wen Shu really has connections among his wine and meat friends.

Shi Ben's family is a family of merchants who have been passed down for generations in the Hua country. The family is quite rich. It is an exaggeration to say that they are incomparably rich, but their annual income can exceed the total annual income of a small remote town.

People's ambitions are always expanding, and when they have money, they want power.

Shi Ben joined forces with several big merchants, and thought of a way to follow up with Hua Guogong to speak, and wanted to buy a few city lord seats from the Guogong.

Hua Guogong had an ambiguous attitude towards this matter. He didn't say he refused, but he never agreed.

Shi Ben became more thoughtful and courageous.

The sacrificial utensils that Shen Wu brought were bronze sacrificial utensils used by the Old Hu King's Court, engraved with the royal coat of arms of the old Hu, which cannot be used by ordinary people, but they can be collected.

Who would want to collect the bronze sacrificial vessels of the royal court?Naturally, it is a rich and ambitious family like Shi Ben.

Wen Shu's friends have business guards, that is, hired bodyguards.The man had been in Shi Ben's caravan, knew that Shi Ben liked this kind of thing, so he drew the thread from it.

Shi Ben bought the sacrificial vessel, Wen Shu and his friends got the commission, and Shen Wu left the capital with the rest of the money.

Shen Wu was more cautious, after all, he was carrying a huge sum of money at the time, and it was safely handed over to the green slave.

After doing this, Shen Wu continued to roam the rivers and lakes.He didn't have a clear goal, and he didn't go far. The scope of his activities was around the capital.

The first time he encountered bandits that night, Shen Wu really didn't think much about it.

He originally wanted to spend the night in the city that day, but was delayed halfway, so he had to find a place temporarily.

Hu Zigui frowned: "That night, what delayed the time?"

Shen Wu recalled: "I met a family on the road, and one of them hurt his leg and foot. I helped to treat the wound, but the other party insisted on taking me to his house for tea. I drank the wine I brought."
