Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 24 Returning to Luzhou City

After an unknown amount of time, Li Wenxuan opened his eyes. The light from outside pierced his eyes and heart like steel needles, causing unbearable pain.

"You—are you awake?" It was Qiu Shan who spoke.

The place where Li Wenxuan was lying down was not far behind his house.Li Wenxuan looked up, and just saw his dilapidated house, before agreeing to Qiu Shan, turned over, and ran towards his home again, "Ah——father, where are you?" With a piercing cry, Li Wenxuan stood in the middle of the room, standing there blankly.

Hearing Li Wenxuan's frenzied shout, Qiu Shan felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and walked slowly behind Li Wenxuan, wanting to pat Li Wenxuan's shoulder with his hand, but stretched out and retracted his hand, as if Qiu Shan was comforting a Like a frightened child, he said in a low voice: "Your father is not here, maybe it's okay, let's look around..."

Li Wenxuan seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope, so he went out and searched for all the places his father might go, shouting while searching.How Li Wenxuan wished to hear an answer, even though the answer seemed so slim.

Qiu Shan didn't call Li Wenxuan again this time, but quietly followed behind Li Wenxuan, just followed behind Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan searched without stopping, the riverside where his father often practiced sword alone, the woods where he caught cicadas together, the grave of his mother where he was often alone in a daze... Li Wenxuan has been to all the places he can think of, and his father is now in danger how?Where should I go to find myself, Li Wenxuan sat powerlessly by the river, and plunged his head into the water, as if the continuous flow of water could clear up his messy thoughts.

"Li Wenxuan, I guess your father should not be around now." Qiu Shan stood behind Li Wenxuan at some point, and said.

"Then, where is it?" This was the first time Li Wenxuan spoke to Qiu Shan after seeing this tragedy.

"When you passed out, I took a look. The whole village... seemed to have no survivors left. Therefore, your father has two possibilities now. One is to leave here far away, and...the other is the possibility Got caught." Qiu Shan said cautiously, for fear of irritating Li Wenxuan.

"Where should I find it?" Li Wenxuan asked coldly.

Qiu Shan said: "Looking at how the village was destroyed, there must be a lot of evildoers. Do you still remember the team of cavalry we met when we left the city?"

This word woke up Li Wenxuan, he and Qiu Shan were ambushed by officials in Luzhou City, the shopkeeper's wound, the tragedy at Luzhoudu, that team of cavalry... Li Wenxuan stood up and said, "I'm going back to Luzhou City. "After that, I turned around and left.

"Wait, are you crazy?" Qiu Shan grabbed Li Wenxuan, he knew that if Li Wenxuan returned to Luzhou City like this, there would definitely be no good results.

With a flick of his arm, Li Wenxuan shook off Qiu Shan's hand and said, "Don't worry about my own affairs." Then he walked forward again.

Qiu Shan stopped Li Wenxuan again, but was pushed aside again.Qiu Shan had no choice but to shout to Li Wenxuan's back: "I know who issued the troop transfer order, and I also know how to find him." After speaking, Li Wenxuan stopped in his tracks.

Li Wenxuan asked: "You really know."

"Well." Qiu Shan said: "Zhang Qing, the prefect of Luzhou City, is not only in charge of local government affairs, but also supervises the military affairs of this place. He must agree to the ordering of soldiers and horses. Is Luzhoudu being controlled by those cavalry? Su Rui, as long as you find him, you can understand the general situation. The county guard's mansion is heavily guarded, without me, you can't get in."

"How do you get in?" Li Wenxuan asked again.

"You don't need to know about this, but thinking about it, it has something to do with my killing the Jin man a few days ago, I... I will do my best." Qiu Shan said at the end, his heart was full of debts, and his voice was already low.

Li Wenxuan walked forward slowly, Qiu Shan followed behind him, took a few steps, Li Wenxuan said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you like that just now."

"It's okay." Qiu Shan replied, looking at the setting sun shining on Li Wenxuan's face at this time, this face was no longer as childish as when he first saw it, and he couldn't imagine what would happen in Luzhou City tonight.

When we arrived at Luzhou City, it was getting dark, Li Wenxuan and Qiu Shan walked into Luzhou City together with Ye Shi, Qiu Shan told Li Wenxuan not to be impatient, and went to check on the county guard's mansion when it was late at night.Qiu Shan found a small inn next to the Sheriff's Mansion, and ordered some food. He asked Li Wenxuan to rest here first, and went out by himself, saying that he needed to make arrangements in advance.

Li Wenxuan was alone in the room, feeling extremely sad in his heart. He didn't have the heart to eat. Everyone in the village, Uncle Tie and Aunt Tie, died tragically in a day, and the life and death of his father and Tie Linger were uncertain. If he didn't go out that day, If I hadn't helped Qiu Shan that day, if...but all of this hadn't been if, even if I had to choose again, would the result be different?Li Wenxuan didn't think about it anymore, just waited for Qiu Shan to come back, and sneaked into the sheriff's mansion together to find out.

"Bang-bang-bang--" was the voice of the beater again.It was past Haishi, Li Wenxuan was anxious, and Qiu Shan came back.

"How? Are we going in now?" Li Wenxuan asked impatiently.

Qiu Shan looked at the untouched food on the table, and said, "Well, yes, but you have to promise me that after entering, no matter what happens, you must listen to me and don't act rashly. Well, something big is going to happen." Qiu Shan's expression was uncertain, his eyes were still red and swollen, as if he had cried.

Li Wenxuan asked: "I promise you, but what's wrong with you? You..."

"I'm fine, you don't need to ask any more questions." Qiu Shan turned his face away, and said, "Let's leave now." After speaking, he and Li Wenxuan left the inn and headed towards the Sheriff's Mansion.

The county guard's mansion has high walls and deep courtyards, and there are guards on guard at the front and rear gates. It is absolutely impossible to enter through the main gate.Li Wenxuan followed Qiu Shan along the perimeter of the Sheriff's Mansion, and when he reached a place where many willow branches protruded from the wall, Qiu Shan stopped and said, "Okay, this is here, let's go in from here. "

"Here?" Li Wenxuan asked puzzled.

Qiu Shan replied: "I have already inquired about the topography inside. From here, there is a rockery. The rockery is surrounded by a small lake dug and made. There is a long bridge under the rockery. The long bridge connects the lake pavilion, and arrives at the lake pavilion. , and go to the other side, which is the residence of the sheriff."

Li Wenxuan listened to Qiu Shan's narration, and secretly felt that Qiu Shan was not simple. How could an ordinary rich boy inquire about the layout of the county guard's mansion in such detail?But Li Wenxuan couldn't care less about guessing the mystery about Qiu Shan at this time.

Qiu Shan took out a piece of rope from the bag at his waist. One end of the rope was tied with a four-claw iron hook. Qiu Shan threw the rope into the wall, pulled it back, and pulled it tight. Then he and Li Wenxuan both jumped over the wall. enter.
