After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 38 The Power of Bricks

Haitang immediately became alert.

The Hu spy who came to the city not long ago to inquire about the whereabouts of the third Hu prince, and the scar-faced man who had visited the Hai family several times in Guazhou pretending to be a winery clerk, didn't he just look like this? !

Looking carefully, this man doesn't seem to be very tall, but he has a stooped back and bent legs. God knows if he is deliberately pretending to be like this? !
After General Gu Qinghong received the report from Hai Xiya and Hai Jiao's grandson, didn't he already send people to keep an eye on the spy?Why is he secretly following Wang Baihu now without anyone stopping him? !
The man glanced at Haitang lightly, then turned his attention back to Wang Baihu.Haitang quickly looked at the street outside, confirming that no one was following the spy. She didn't know whether the person responsible for tracking had his whereabouts exposed and lost, or whether he was counterattacked.Anyway, this man is now following Wang Baihu, leaning in quietly, obviously with bad intentions.

If we just sit back and do nothing, will Haitang, a child who witnessed what he did at the scene, be silenced afterwards?Judging from the look in his eyes just now, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so kind to let her go.

Haitang has lived in the palace for many years and is accustomed to acting cautiously. She never puts her hope on the conscience of others.She looked back behind her to make sure that no one at home was nearby. She couldn't summon help without making a sound, so she quietly picked up a scattered brick from the horse-mounted stone.

The bricks are very hard and of good quality, and all they are crudely made is the mortar used for bonding.

The scar-faced man was getting closer and closer to Wang Baihu. His waist was no longer stooped and he looked taller and stronger.Haitang looked at his back and took an extra brick uneasily.

Holding a brick in each hand, she stood up quietly. At the same time, she used the basic internal skills and Qinggong footwork she had just learned, and walked over with lighter steps than the scar-faced man.

Wang Baihu's entire mind was attracted by his crying son. Standing at the door of his home, he never thought there would be danger.He just quickly opened the door of his house, saw his wife coming towards him, and quickly pushed his son over: "Hurry and watch your son, don't let him run around! I just saw him standing alone on the street at the city gate. , I almost bumped into the stove at the breakfast stall, I was almost scared to death!"

His wife hugged her son and actually started crying: "I'm scared to death! You were injured last time you went out, and now you go out knowing that it's a dead end, leaving us two, why don't we?" It’s better to die early and save yourself the trouble!”

Wang Baihu felt a headache: "Stop making trouble! Lao Du promised to cover up for me, so I ran back with my son in my arms. I'm leaving now. If you have anything to say, wait until I come back!"

When his wife saw this, she was about to burst into tears, but was startled by the stranger who suddenly walked through the door. She immediately directed her resentment towards him: "Who are you?! Ah——"

Her screams were quickly choked back by the scar-faced man's movements.The scar-faced man pulled out a sharp long dagger from the sheepskin on his shoulder, slammed the sheepskin door before entering, and immediately put the dagger at Wang Baihu's neck.Wang Baihu reacted immediately, held up his hands, and strangled the visitor's wrist so that the dagger could no longer be advanced. He placed the general across his neck and quickly drew a thin line of blood.

The scar-faced man did not expect Wang Baihu to react so quickly, and subconsciously raised his leg to kick the latter's knee. Wang Baihu bent his leg to avoid his knee strike, and stepped on the opponent's instep with his back foot, but the opponent dodged it.He twisted the opponent's wrist forcefully in his hand, trying to force the opponent to let go of the dagger in his hand.Unexpectedly, the scar-faced man was very strong. No matter how hard he tried, he still held the dagger tightly and slowly pushed the blade closer to his neck.The two of them were in a stalemate, and for a while no one could do anything to the other.

At this moment, the scar-faced man felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, as if something hit him hard on the back of his neck, making his eyes black.He shook his head and wanted to look back, but unexpectedly the second blow hit the same spot.His vision turned completely dark, and he shuddered, the dagger in his hand came loose, and he fell to the ground.

Wang Baihu stared blankly at Haitang, who had just jumped up and knocked two bricks on the scar-faced man. He almost stuttered when he spoke: "You...are you Tangtang from the Hai family?"

Haitang patted the brick dust on his hands and smiled sweetly at Wang Baihu: "Yes, Uncle Wang, are you okay with your injury?"

Only then did Wang Baihu's wife wake up, screamed, put down her son, and quickly rushed to her husband: "Are you okay? You're bleeding! Damn you bastard! He actually cut your neck!" Wang Baihu Hu quickly grabbed his wife's hands: "I'm fine, just a little skin injury, please calm down..."

Before his wife calmed down, his son was frightened again and burst into tears on the spot: "Dad! Don't die -"

This time it was Haitang's turn to be stunned.

Seeing Wang Baihu in a hurry, she quickly reminded him: "Uncle Wang, is this the spy you want to catch? Do you want to tie him up first? Otherwise, he will be in trouble when he wakes up later!"

Wang Baihu was reminded by her words and immediately took a thick hemp rope in his yard and quickly tied the scar-faced man tightly.His wife was also crying while helping her husband tie up the man. From time to time, she would kick and pinch the scar-faced man until he was almost bleeding. She felt that it was not enough to satisfy her husband, so she wanted to chop him with a hatchet. people.Wang Baihu stopped him while sweating profusely.

If a spy is caught, the superiors must strictly interrogate him. How can he let someone die at the hands of his wife? !
But Haitang has already been very smart and went home to shake people.The second uncle Hai Changan quickly arrived with a knife, and the younger brother Hai Jiao also came with the newly obtained Yanling knife.

He recognized the man with the scarred face best: "That's him! He is the Hu spy that my predecessor discovered and met in Guazhou before. He came to the city this time to inquire about the third Hu prince!" He was very happy. I don’t understand, how could this person secretly follow Wang Baihu?Didn't General Gu send someone to keep an eye on this person?

Wang Baihu frowned and said, "I wonder if he found out that someone was following him and escaped, or if he plotted against our brother..." As for why the other party came to see him?Maybe it was because he had disguised himself as the third prince of the Hu people a few days ago and set up a trap with the brothers in the guard to plot against the Hu people. This man discovered it, so he came to seek revenge...

This spy's skills are extraordinary. He also lost his vigilance because he was in front of his house. Fortunately, the little neighbor girl was smart and slapped the spy twice when he saw something was wrong. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be sure. Can outperform the opponent.The most terrifying thing is that if he loses to the spies, not only will he lose his life, he may not even be able to save his wife and children...

Thinking of this, Wang Baihu couldn't help but shudder.

Hai Changan said to him: "Don't you still have business to do? Go back quickly. Remember to tell your Shangguan what happened at home, and ask someone to quickly find the brother who is responsible for tracking this person. Also, there are people in the guard station. Come with a few people, take this spy back and interrogate him, and maybe we can find out the information about the Hu people."

Wang Baihu nodded, glanced at his wife and children apologetically, and then turned away.

His wife glared at her husband's back hatefully, but stopped crying.She started crying because she knew her husband would relent and be persuaded by her.Now that her husband is clearly determined, what's the use of her crying anymore?It's better to save your energy and take good care of your son.

However, she was not so good-tempered towards the spy lying in the yard.This guy hindered her plan to coax her husband to stay at home and delayed their family reunion. He deserved death!
Now that her husband is not present and no one is stopping her, how can she let this bastard go so easily? !

She turned around and went back to the house to get her husband's old riding crop. Her eyes seemed to be on fire at any moment, and she whipped the scarred spy in the face fiercely.
