Chapter 66 He Will Die By My Hand
Faced with Chu Ci's anger, Shi Yu just laughed indifferently, and then suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Not to talk about this for now, Xiaoci, I heard that a team of thousands of soldiers suddenly came outside the city last night, yelling to enter the city. General Mu had already issued an order to lock down the city, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city naturally did not allow unknown people to come in, so the atmosphere at the city gate is tense now, and chaos may occur at any time. Are you sure you want to leave here at such a dangerous time?"
Shi Yu would not talk about these things, Chu Ci might also consider leaving to ask about the internal injuries she suffered in her body, but now after hearing Shi Yu's remarks, Chu Ci became more determined to leave.
A team of thousands of soldiers was clamoring to enter the city. Isn’t this the three thousand-person team of the Dragon Soul Guard?
It sounds like the situation is not good now, so she still has to go over and take a look.
After making up his mind, Chu Ci stopped talking nonsense to Shi Yu. After being polite for a few words, he left with Chu Lu with his plush dumplings.
So she didn't know that after she left, Shi Yu's smile slowly became colder. He slowly took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his lips bit by bit, with his eyes sarcastic.
In this space, someone came in from outside.
The black tights wrapped around the woman's delicate figure, but the black iron mask covered her face to block her appearance. She walked to Shi Yu slowly, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Master, what you explained before has been arranged, and Mu Chengyan seemed to have noticed the abnormal movements in the city... Also, Feng Qingying has already settled in the inn in the city, and that inn is very close to Mu Mansion."
"Gu Shengge lives in Mu Mansion now, right? This saint is really trying hard!" Shi Yu mocked.
"Master..." Qiancai hesitated and his voice became weaker, hiding some subtle emotions, "Why did you want to save that person? Although his subordinates have not yet found out his identity, he thinks he may not be of use to you! Why did you meet Feng Qingying in order to save him and let her see you--"
"Do you think I'm saving him?" Shi Yu stopped Qiancai's words, curled up a smile on the corner of his lips, and said slowly, "He will die at my hands."
On this side, Chu Ci, who had not known that he had been targeted by Mr. Shi Yu, the top official in the house, had already brought his family to the city gate.
"Didn't Shi Yu say that there might be danger here, why are you going to come?" Chu Lu looked at Chu Ci, who was staring at the city wall with confusion, "Besides, you have already obtained grandpa's prescription, why don't you hand it over to Mu Chengyan?"
Chu Ci's eyes remained on the city wall. After hearing Chu Lu's question, he turned around and looked at him and smiled: "Why should I give it to Mu Chengyan?"
"You went to the village with your own risk and promised your grandfather to take me away. Isn't it just to find a prescription to exchange for rewards for Mu Chengyan?" Chu Lu asked back.
"I'm not doing things for Mu Chengyan, nor do I care about his rewards." Chu Ci smiled indifferently, then pointed to the closed city gate and said, "Besides, he locked my people outside, which made me feel very bad. I didn't even want to see him."
"Your person?" Chu Lu was stunned at first, and after thinking about it, he looked at Chu Ci in disbelief and asked, "You mean, the team of thousands of people outside [31 Novel Network �
"I guess it's probably." Chu Ci nodded.
Before Chu Lu could ask in detail, he heard a man's roar with a grumpy temper suddenly coming from outside:
"Hurry open the door and let me in!"
Chu Ci suddenly laughed and added: "That's right, it's my person."
I heard this and I knew that my irritable voice was just Lin Chongwei's voice?
That guy's hot temper seemed to have risen again when she was away. Chu Ci touched his chin and thought, should he let Lian Qiao, the same bad temper, polish this guy's temper after returning to Beijing?
Dada dada--
At this moment, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from not far away.
The middle-aged man sitting on the horse running towards the city gate was wearing an official uniform with the word "Mu" and holding a sword in his hand. He should be Mu Chengyan's subordinate.
Seeing this, Chu Ci immediately pulled Chu Lu and hid in the dark, watching the changes.
After the visitor arrived at the bottom of the city gate, he shouted to it: "Listen to the person guarding the city, the general has an order to open the city gate and let the people leave the city!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci immediately looked in the direction of the man. Sure enough, he saw a large number of people who looked frightened and carrying bags coming over there. They should be the people who left the city as mentioned by this person.
This puzzled Chu Ci. Mu Chengyan had ordered the city to be closed down to prevent the spread of the plague. Now why did he suddenly open the city gate and let these people go out?
Is the plague already under control, or... the plague situation in the city is aggravating, so that these uninfected people must be allowed to leave the city to survive?
Judging from this situation, it is more like the reason behind it.
The soldiers guarding the city heard the man's shout and immediately responded downward: "Mr. Li, General Li, the city was clearly ordered to be closed down before, but now why do you suddenly open the city gate?"
The man surnamed Li pointed to the people coming from behind, and then said in a heavy tone: "The plague suddenly worsened. If these uninfected people cannot leave in time, they may be infected and killed. The general said that this is the largest number of confirmed safety, and they must be allowed to go out alive!"
"But" the soldiers guarding the city looked outside, then looked at the frightened people who had already walked in front of them, and said with some embarrassment, "But, Lord Li, a team of thousands of soldiers suddenly came out of the city last night, saying that they were going to enter the city, but they refused to even say their identity and purpose. The young man dared not open the door rashly, what if they took the opportunity to break in!"
The man surnamed Li looked terrified when he heard this. He frowned and thought silently about the pros and cons.
Behind them, the anxiously waiting people were different, and shouts of shouting to open the city gate and let them run away.
"Let's do this," the man surnamed Li suddenly said to the soldiers guarding the city, his voice lowered a little. "You arrange for the archers to lurk in the dark, and let the people go out immediately when the city gate is opened. If you find that those people outside want to break in while the chaos, shoot arrows immediately!"
"But..." The soldiers guarding the city were still hesitant. He looked at the anxious people and asked worriedly, "What should I do if I accidentally shot the people who left the city in chaos?"
As soon as this was said, the man surnamed Li was a little hesitant. He looked at the people and before he could speak, he heard a burst out from the crowd:
"Let us go out! We are not afraid of being shot to death by arrows! We are afraid of being infected with the plague!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the voices echoed:
"that is!"
"Even if we are shot to death by arrows, we have to go out!"
"Can the arrow hide? Isn't it just waiting to die if I am locked in the city?"
"That's it! Stop being slow! Open the city gate!"
...
After hearing the shouts of the people, the man surnamed Li gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Since that's the case, let our people be careful, but be careful! Now, open the city gate!"
After he finished speaking, the city gate finally opened slowly, and the people who could not wait to escape immediately flocked to run out.
Chu Ci pulled Chu Lu and mingled among the crowd, taking advantage of the chaos to follow him out of the city.
The man surnamed Li never left, staring at the team a hundred meters away from the city, fearing that they would take the opportunity to rush in.
But surprisingly, until the people who were about to leave the city ran out, there was no movement in the team guarding there.
"Close the city gate immediately!" The man surnamed Li ordered the soldiers guarding the city and made a quick decision, "I will report the situation here to the general. I must not let those people in before the general gives the order!"
After saying that, he turned around and rode his horse away, and the city gate slowly closed behind him.
Not to mention Lord Li’s doubts, Chu Ci, who had already left the city, was also confused - why didn’t Lin Chongwei take the people into the city while the chaos? She wouldn’t think that Lin Chongwei could think of the ambush hidden on the city wall with him.
In confusion, Chu Ci pulled Chu Lu to use his light skills, and in a blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the forefront of the team of three thousand people.
He Shi, the person who was at the forefront of the team, recognized Chu Ci at a glance and immediately stepped forward and said happily: "Master Chu, you are finally here! Lord Lin is worried about how to get in!"
When Chu Ci heard this, he asked, "The city gate was clearly opened just now, why didn't you go in while the chaos?"
"I think so, but Lord Lin has not sent any orders!" He Shi said with some depression.
"Luckily, there wasn't." Chu Ci said, "Take me to see Chongwei."
He Shi touched his head and led Chu Ci back in confusion.
Chu Lu followed Chu Ci all the time, and when he walked to the front of the carriage at the end of the team, he finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Then the end--"
"I'll explain to you when I'm back." Chu Ci looked at the carriage in front of him and said concisely to Chu Lu, then looked at He Shi, "What's going on with this carriage?"
The marching team was mixed with a carriage. Could it be that the young masters were engaging in privileges?
He Shi's face froze and said carefully: "Mr. Lin bought the carriage--"
"Chu Ci!" With a shout, the man lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car. When he saw Chu Ci, he curled his lips, "Why did you come?" After saying that, before Chu Ci could answer, he noticed the silent boy standing behind her again, and asked curiously, "Where did you pick up the child? Isn't you sick? Why are your eyes still blue?"
"You're not sick in your brain?" Chu Ci fought back without hesitation and then asked, "What were you doing just now? What's going on with the carriage?"
"I just rested under the shade of the tree behind me, and accidentally fell asleep..." Lin Chongwei pointed to the shade of the tree not far behind me, and was embarrassed to touch his nose.
"..." No wonder I wasn't stupid enough to rush into the city. It turned out that the leader fell asleep! And the soldiers Lin Chongwei's accompanying knew his temper, so how could he dare to disturb Mr. Lin's sleep?
Lin Chongwei continued: "As for the carriage, it was prepared for Miss Mu."
