Chapter 74
Yao Qing looked at him, her water-shearing eyes were seductive, and she smiled softly: "Senior brother, don't be stubborn, it's important to go home and heal your wounds, or else you will become crippled, won't your father feel sorry for you?" She turned around and left, Shen Xiu didn't give up, and shouted: "Junior Sister, go slowly..."

Yao Qing turned around in response, and said with a smile: "Yes, there is one more thing I forgot to say." A glimmer of hope lit up in Shen Xiu's heart, and she said with a smile: "My good junior sister, I knew that you were reluctant to leave me!"

Yao Qing giggled and said, "Senior brother is limping, this time, no matter where I go, you will not be able to catch up with me." She stretched out her jade hand, beckoned at him, made another grimace, jumped into the vast expanse dark.

Shen Xiu looked at her back, with love and hatred in her heart, she gritted her teeth unconsciously and said: "This little fairy, one day it will fall into the young master's hands, let's see how I can deal with you." After saying that, the wound hurt again, and she thought: "The little fairy is right. Yes, it is important to heal the wound right now." Immediately, jumping and jumping, he went to the Governor's Mansion.

After Shen Xiu walked away and the two walked out from the shadow of Miyagi, Lu Jian said pleasantly, "Gu Zhen, you guessed it right again, how did you know Ah Qing would leave Shen Xiu?"

"Based on the way she looks at you!" Gu Zhen smiled softly, "If what I expected is correct, Yao Qing has you in her heart, and this Shen Xiu is nothing more than wishful thinking." Lu Jian was stunned, in disbelief: "You're serious. ?”

Gu Zhen nodded and said: "She asked you just now, and she clearly wanted you to accompany her to leave Nanjing, so I gave her a try. If she likes Shen Xiu, she must go with him when she leaves Miyagi; if she loves You, however, can't bear to get entangled with Shen Xiu."

Lu Jiandao: "Why is this?" Gu Zhen said: "Every woman is unavoidably reserved. She pretends to be nice to Shen Xiu, but she wants you to worry about gain and loss, and you can't do without her even more. If you're not here, how can Shen Xiu be with her?" Room to take advantage of?" Lu Jian was dubious after hearing this, Gu Zhen pushed him, and said with a smile: "What are you waiting for, why don't you go after her?" Lu Jian said: "But..."

"Is it 'Black Heaven Tribulation'?" Gu Zhen smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, I have already caught Xu Hai, and the grievances will be resolved soon. At that time, I begged my father to seal your 'Sanyuan Emperor Vessel'. Okay Brother, don't ration me to Yao Qing, you don't know, my tigress is so powerful that even the gods and Buddhas of the heavens will also come out."

"Your tigress?" Lu Jian was slightly surprised, and Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Didn't you take her hidden weapon?" Lu Jian suddenly said: "That girl, she is..." Gu Zhen said: " My daughter-in-law who has never been married." When he thought of getting his grievance cleared, he felt overjoyed, grabbed Xu Hai and smiled, "I'm going to interrogate this guy, if you want me, come and knock on the first door on the left of Cangbo Lane in the east of the city. Two gates." Haha laughed and drifted away.

Lu Jian was disturbed by these words, and worried about Yao Qing's safety, so he rushed forward.

After rushing for a distance, but still no one was there, Lu Jian was impatient, and performed "jumping numbness". He went up to the roof of a house and looked from a high position. Surprised, I thought: "Is there a fire?"

When he saw the calamity, he suddenly forgot himself, stepped on the roof and rushed to it. Before he got close, he heard the sound of swords and swords, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.Lu Jian leaned over and saw that Luo Zhai was in front of him. More than two hundred Japanese pirates in armor and armed with knives and guns were fighting bloody street battles with hundreds of Ming troops.

The Japanese pirates came to this point, they were also forced by the situation, just now they broke through the iron gate and entered the stone hall with great difficulty, but they didn't see anyone.The gangsters were suspicious, and there was an uproar. Huan Zhongque had no choice but to rescue Chen Zidan first.Chen Zidan was very wise and guessed that there must be a secret passage in the hall, but his intelligence was not enough to find out the mechanism. Seeing that the incident was imminent, the enemy escaped from the secret passage again, and if there was a delay, the entire army would be wiped out. So he turned his heart and ordered the Japanese army to climb out of the deep well and kill them from Luozhai.

Shen Zhouxu didn't find the secret path, but he expected the Japanese pirates' lair to be nearby, so he set up an ambush. Once the Japanese pirates showed up, the police sent out all around, the ambushes stood out, the two sides met each other, and they fought together.

This group of pirates is the elite of Xu Hai's subordinates, and the Ming army is the soldiers trained by Shen Zhouxu. Although they are better than the guards, but in terms of momentum and discipline, they are still inferior to these veteran bandits.

All the Japanese pirates huddled together and attacked together, entering like a sharp spear piercing armor, invincible, retreating like a funnel of quicksand, trapping the enemy invisible.Even though the Ming army rushed in from all directions, the formation was thin and scattered. Although there were many people, they were rampantly attacked by the Japanese pirates and defeated one by one. In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so fell.

Lu Jian was very anxious, seeing Huan Zhongque and Chen Zi alone in battle, he straightened his body and said sharply, "Huan Zhongque, who do you think I am?"

As soon as Huan Zhongque raised his head, he felt a black shadow like a mountain, and the wind was pressing down on him. His hands were crippled, unable to resist, he bowed desperately, and rolled out Zhang Xu on the ground.

Lu Jianfei lost his mind, and a "big Sumeru" bumped into a Japanese pirate to vomit blood.Chen Zidan yelled sharply, and slashed fiercely with the knife in both hands. Lu Jian stepped aside, stretched out his left hand, and "clicked" twice to remove his wrists.

Chen Zidan screamed, and the Japanese knife was released.Lu Jian caught it smoothly, and in an instant, a familiar feeling came to his heart, as if he had returned to that night, the shrine was dilapidated, the cold moon was silent, Qianshenzong's stone armor had a long sword, and his face was ferocious.

"Heh!" Two Japanese knives and three red spears rushed forward with strong wind and blood.

Starting from the handle of the knife, Lu Jian knew all about the length, thickness, softness and hardness of the Japanese knife, as if the knife was cast and lived with him. Now, according to the characteristics of the Japanese knife, from left to right, he drew a circle around his body .

There was a jingle, the knives and guns fell to the ground, and the five Japanese pirates groaned miserably, their wrists were dripping with blood, and the tendons on their wrists were cut off.

Lu Jian played with one sword, and pierced into the enemy's formation with his sword. In the direction of the long sword, all the Japanese pirates' wrists were spattered with blood, and their weapons fell to the ground one after another.

The soldiers of the Ming army were already on the verge of defeat, but when they saw Lu Jian descending from the sky like a flying general, rushing to destroy the enemy's formation, they immediately cheered up and rushed forward to kill.

Most of these Japanese pirates are Japanese ronin, advocating the way of samurai, fearless of death, and stubbornly resisting.However, Lu Jian swung his knife here and there, picking at the other side's tendons.When all the Japanese people let go of their swords and guns, they are like a poisonous snake pulling out its teeth, and a fierce tiger cutting off its claws. They are full of fighting spirit, but they are also slaughtered.In a short time, most of them were killed or injured, and the remaining dozens of people panicked, shouted suddenly, and fled in all directions.The Ming army chased and intercepted them, and the bandits were either captured alive or hacked to death.

Lu Jian looked at the dead bodies on the ground, feeling miserable, lowered his knife and looked around, but there was no Huan Zhongque in the corpses.He was slightly surprised, searched carefully, but still found nothing, just wondering, two generals hurried over, cupped their hands and said: "Fortunately, a strong man will help you, dare to ask your name..."

Lu Jian shook his head and said: "A small name is not worth mentioning..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a person running towards the end of the road, and he recognized it as Yan Weigui.I thought that when this person came, Shen Zhouxu would definitely follow him, if we meet again, there is no guarantee that he will not repeat the old story and keep himself by his side.Anything else is fine, if it delays the search for Yao Qing, it would be a big mistake.

Thinking of this, he dropped the Japanese sword, turned around and left, the two generals shouted in shock: "The strong man stays..." The more they shouted, the faster Lu Jian walked, turned around the long street, and disappeared.He came suddenly and then left suddenly, the two generals faced each other, they were very surprised.

Lu Jianfa ran fast, searching the streets and alleys, hoping to meet Yao Qing.Unexpectedly, the girl had never seen it before, but she saw the Ming army guarding everywhere, and the security was strict.Lu Jian couldn't think about it, and came to the east of the city dejectedly, and found Cangbo Lane after wandering around.

The alley is close to the Cangbo Gate of Waiguoguo, and Lu Jian came to the second door on the left. A pair of lanterns at the front of the door illuminated the door leaf, and there was a pair of brass taotie on the door, with a copper ring in its mouth.Lu Jian lifted the ring to knock on the door, and when the door opened, someone whispered, "Master Lu."

Lu Jianqi said, "You recognize me?" The man welcomed him in and closed the door again.Lu Jian took a look and saw that the man was about forty years old, with a commoner cap and a small cap, and his facial features were ordinary, and his eyes could be seen occasionally with a flash of his eyes.

"My name is Yu Chuan." The man said respectfully, "I met Master Lu that night in Cuiyun Building." Lu Jian patted his forehead and said with a smile: "I remember, Gu Zhen asked you to give silver taels to those painting boats. "Yu Chuan said: "Master Lu has a good memory." His conversation is just like his appearance. Although he is polite, from the beginning to the end, he couldn't be more ordinary.

Lu Jian smiled and said, "Brother Yu, don't call me Lord Lu, I'm much younger than you." Yu Chuan shook his head and said, "I'm not called Brother Yu, I'm called Yu Chuan. Lord Lu is a friend of Lord Gu. Yu Chuan is Gu Ye's buddy, Yu Chuan is called Gu Ye Gu Ye, so he should be called Lu Ye Lu Ye..." Lu Jian felt dizzy and hurriedly said, "Yu... Brother Yu Chuan, what is Gu Zhen doing?" Yu Chuan said: "Master Gu is angry!" Lu Jian said: "Xu Hai refuses to tell the truth, did you make him angry?" Yu Chuan sighed: "Xu Hai is dead!"

Lu Jian was taken aback, and shouted: "Dead? Who killed it?" Yu Chuan said: "I don't know, Mr. Gu and Xu Hai stayed in the study and asked me to wait for Mr. Lu here. In the study room, Xu Hai is already dead." Lu Jian felt flustered, and said, "Is Gu Zhen okay?" Yu Chuan shook his head and said, "Master Gu is fine, just angry."

"Take me to see him." Lu Jian walked into the house, Yu Chuan Bingzhu led the way.When he came to the study room, Lu Jian opened the door and smelled a strong smell of blood. He took a closer look and saw that there were many broken pages scattered on the ground.

Looking up again, Gu Zhen sat on the chair angrily, staring straight ahead.Lu Jian followed his gaze to see that Xu Hai was sitting on a red sandalwood chair with his hands and feet bound, his face facing the sky, and he was leaning backwards. His hair was soaked in blood, and it had already clotted into lumps.

Lu Jian's heart sank, and he stepped forward to take a closer look. The face of the corpse was as white as paper, and there was a blood hole between the eyebrows, from which red and white things flowed out.

"Don't look at it." Gu Zhen sighed, "It was shot by a bird's gun." Lu Jian turned his head, and the two looked at each other, and they could see the wry smile on the other's face.

Lu Jian asked: "What happened?" Gu Zhen sighed: "I questioned this guy in the study, at first he was stubborn and refused to speak, but later I gave him both soft and hard words, and then he let go. At this moment, the bird gun But it rang..." At this point, he walked to the window and pointed to a small round hole in the window paper. The cracks around the hole were like silk, and the night outside the window could be clearly seen.

"This is the bullet hole where the lead pellets entered the house." Gu Zhen opened the window again, and Lu Jian looked up. The window was facing a small building. .”

Gu Zhen sighed: "This man's blunderbuss is really good. Just by the figure cast on the window paper, he hit Xu Hai's eyebrow. At that time, Hongshu was guarding outside the room. When he heard the blunderbuss, he rushed upstairs. By then, the murderer had already left."

Lu Jian murmured: "Have you guessed who it is?" Gu Zhen said: "Xu Hai is the leader of the pirates, the pirates will save him, and the government will catch him. Only one side, but he must be killed!" Lu Jian Gradually frowned and said, "You mean the traitor in East Island?" Gu Zhen nodded and said, "But there is one thing I don't understand. If it is a traitor in East Island, he should kill me quickly. I have my back to the window, and it is easier to kill me. Why? Why don't you kill me, but kill Xu Hai?"

Lu Jiandao: "Maybe he intended to kill you, but because of the shadow cast on the window, exaggerated and distorted, so that he accidentally hit Xu Hai." Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "Manslaughter? It's too coincidental." confused.After a while of silence, Gu Zhen suddenly asked, "Where's Yao Qing?" Lu Jian frowned and said, "I lost it!"

Gu Zhen patted the table, smiled and said, "Lost after chasing you? Good luck." Lu Jian's face flushed, Gu Zhen patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Forget it, if she has you in her heart, if you don't look for her, she I'll come to you too." Lu Jian shook his head and said, "So what if she has me in her heart? Xu Hai is dead..."

Gu Zhen heard what he meant, smiled slightly, and said, "Xu Hai is dead, and Wang Zhi is there!" At this point, he swept away the gloom, looked radiant, laughed, walked out of the study with Lu Jian on his arm, and said as he walked, "This old fox is much more cunning than Xu Hai. It was extremely difficult to catch him, but he happened to attack Nanjing. Wang Zhi is a clam, and Shen Zhouxu is a snipe. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins, and we are the fisherman."

Lu Jian said: "It's easy for you to say, these two people are not ordinary, in my opinion, they are not snipe and clam, but tigers, if one trick is not careful, you and I are not enough for them to eat!"
