Luo nine needles

Chapter 72

Although the hustle and bustle in the city continued to rise and fall that night, there were no more disturbances in the inn.

The female guests did not sleep, during which officers and soldiers came in to check.

There was no place to hide in Datong Shop, and the luggage the women brought into the room was simple, nothing more than small bundles, small baskets, and embroidery shelves placed in the corner. The officers and soldiers held torches to look at it before going out.

At dawn, entry and exit resumed in the inn. It is said that the murderer has escaped from the city, and officers and soldiers are chasing him.

"It's really scary."

"This is the first time I have encountered such a thing."

"That's because you seldom go out, that's how you are on the road, you might encounter something."

The guests discussed that although they were frightened, they still had to continue on their way to make ends meet.

Qixing followed the crowd out of the city with the wrapped embroidery frame on her back.

Compared with before, the city gate guards are also very strict in checking. The guides that were ignored in the past are also required to be shown, and those who do not have guides will be interrogated a few more times.

Qixing took out the guide, the city gate guard looked at it, and saw that the age of the people from a certain place was written and where they were going, and there was an official custody of Linglong Embroidery Workshop in Xucheng, Xizhou, so they waved their hands to let them pass.

He went out of the city gate Qixing to pick up his horses from the place where the livestock were stored.

"Please come inside, girl." The store clerk warmly greeted her and took her to the stable, "All the water and food are well fed."

Qixing took out the money: "I want another luggage rack."

The store clerk took the money and said happily: "Girl wait a moment, I'll go get it right away."

He turned away.

Qixing put down the embroidery frame she was carrying, stretched out her hand and gently pulled it, and the folded wooden frame slowly opened, revealing a long box inside.

There is a person lying in the box.

It seems to be an adult and a child, and it seems to be integrated with this box.

With the movement of the box being pulled open, the man's head lifted from the curled up body, his face pale and bloodless.

He seemed a little uncomfortable with the morning light, and his eyes were a little dazed.

"Okay?" Qixing asked in a low voice, took out the water bag, and fed him water.

The wooden peg that imprisoned the nose and mouth and prevented sound left a deep mark on the side of his mouth, making it difficult to swallow.

Although he was imprisoned, he knew that he was being used as a bait to lure his fellow disciples into danger for him.

He always wanted to die, he would not eat or drink, but fell into the hands of others, and life and death were beyond his control.

"I'm going to hell." He made a hoarse voice, his pale face was full of regret, "I've hurt everyone."

"No." Qixing said, "Don't worry."

Her voice has no ups and downs, no warmth, only four simple words, which are not comforting, but Gun Dilong's heart is inexplicably relaxed. He looked at the girl, his trance-like eyes gradually condensed: "Excuse me, what's the matter?" call?"

She said, "Xitang, Seven Stars."

Seven stars, the earth-rolling dragon recited silently.

"Girl, here comes your bracket." The shop assistant called out.

Accompanied by the shout, Gundilong felt his figure being slowly closed.

He has the ability to shrink bones and can shrink them into various shapes, but that doesn't mean he won't suffer from pain, especially when he was randomly folded in the hands of officers and soldiers before, which caused endless pain.

But at this time, it was placed in this strange bracket box, and every place seemed to fit his bones. With the push, he was closed like a folding fan.

Gundilong's vision became dim, and he could feel that he was picked up and put on the horse's back, and he swayed gently as the horse walked, just like in his mother's cradle, his mind relaxed, slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep .

He hasn't slept for a long time.

"Girl, let's go." The shop assistant said enthusiastically.

Qixing nodded his thanks to him, led the horse out, and looked at the city behind him.

At this time, another group of officers and soldiers galloped out, causing chaos at the city gate.

I don't know which fellow from the same school was acting as a bait to lure the officers and soldiers away.

This is going out and taking care of each other.

She rescued Gundilong, and other people helped her, diverting the officers and soldiers away for her, making it easier for her to leave.

Qixing got on his horse, wrapped his cloak and scarf tightly, and urged the horse to gallop forward.

The cold wind in the mountains and forests in winter is biting, without the cover of lush branches and leaves, the winding mountain roads seem to be visible at a glance.

Whenever Meng Xichang turned his head, he could always see the officers and soldiers chasing after him.

And you can also see the leading military officer raising his bow and crossbow.

Getting closer and closer.

The previous arrow was still on Meng Xichang's shoulder.

There is no escape by running.

Meng Xichang looked at the sky, and the fellow who rescued Gundilong had enough time to escape.

Then it's luck that he can live, if he can't live, it's worth dying.

"If you don't stop, kill on the spot—" Zhang Yuan yelled, looking at the man who was already within the range of the crossbow.

The man looked back. Although he was within range, it was not enough to see his face clearly, but somehow Zhang Yuan seemed to see him smiling, and then saw the man jump up from the horse and kick the horse. Neighing galloped forward and turned the corner, while the man fell to the cliff beside the mountain road——

Zhang Yuan cursed, crossbow arrows can fly over in an instant, but people can't fly over in the blink of an eye, and can only watch the man disappear from sight.

When I finally got close, I looked at the bottom of the cliff, the vegetation was messy, and the winter fog was billowing, so I couldn't see anything.

Some officers and soldiers tentatively slid down the cliff, which was steep and the rocks were loose, and they stepped on the ground by accident. If others hadn't caught it in time, they would have rolled down.

"Join the army, let's go around the mountain to find—"

"Joining the army, this person jumped off the cliff and died."

"Join the army, and go back to the city to catch his accomplices."

Listening to everyone's chatter, Zhang Yuan didn't say a word. In fact, he shot the man on the back halfway, and found that not only did he not give rescue, but when he lifted the man to block it—that was not a real person. He was a straw man, so he knew he had been fooled.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain.

But it was too late to look back at that time.

Anyway, this is Mo Tu, since he was used as a bait, he made it clear that he would sacrifice his life for others. Zhang Yuanfa wanted to catch him, but he didn't expect that the thief jumped off the cliff to commit suicide when he was about to be caught.

Zhang Yuan roared at the empty cliff, and threw the long knife in his hand.

who is it!

Found the ground dragon and rescued the ground dragon!
Who is it!

Vendors peddling along the street showed the goods in the basket to the guests, and the guests looked down at the various groceries and wrote a line of words.

The person has been rescued, and he will leave quickly, Xitang.

In the west hall, the guest said silently in his heart, it's amazing, he stretched out his hand to mess up the groceries, picked up two flints from it, smiled and gave the money.

The peddler raised his voice: "Thank you very much." Put the money away.

The guest took the flint, got into the carriage, and urged the horse to "walk."

The matter is over, you're done, everyone can disperse, hide again, and live in peace.

There was a long queue in front of the gate of Qiucheng.

"Step aside--"

A group of officers and soldiers came galloping, making the crowded crowd even more chaotic. They didn't go directly into the city. They explained something to the city gate guards before heading into the city.

The officers and soldiers passed by, and the chaos in front of the city gate was even worse, because the city gate guards suddenly tightened their inspections, and Lu Yin checked carefully, checking the people in the car, looking at the things in the car, and even opened the baskets they were carrying.

The lines got longer.

"what happened?"

"What is this checking for?"

People in the team talked a lot, and many servants were sent to the front to investigate.

A young maidservant was also among them, she moved nimbly, squeezed back quickly, and said to the window: "Miss, I found out clearly, and said it is to check people."

Talking about getting in the car.

The people next to him hurriedly asked: "Who are you looking for?"

The maid said, "It's a bandit."

Bandit, is there another bandit around here?The people next to him were dumbfounded, it was not safe to travel that way.

The maid gets into the car, and when the curtain is lifted, the people next to her can see a girl sitting in it, and there is a shelf in the car. The girl is embroidering with her head down. When she hears the maid coming up, she raises her head. Ask: "What kind of bandit?"

There seemed to be some tension in the voice.

Nervousness is inevitable, people on the road thought, who is not afraid of bandits, especially young girls.

The curtain of the car was lowered, and the voices of the master and servant inside were cut off.

Although there were too many inquiries, they took out the road guide, checked their identities, and checked the inside of the car. There was no problem. The two cars quickly entered the city, and then found an inn to stay.

The servants looked after the food for the carriages and horses, and the young lady did not come out after entering the room. When night fell, the official sent to the inn to inspect.

"Lintou, why are you so strict all of a sudden?" the store clerk was very familiar with the officials, and while leading the way to accompany him, he asked, "What big thief?"

Lin Guancha said, "A strange big thief."

strangeness?The shop assistant was even more puzzled.

"It's Xiecha from other places, and it has a big background." Lin Guancha said, pointed upwards, and mouthed three words.

The store clerk understood it in an instant, and Du, Cha, Si couldn't help shivering: "This, this, is really a big job."

Official Lin shook his head again: "But I don't have any detailed information. It's all odd and odd, such as what to wear straw sandals, what to eat, what to bring with you, whether the boxes, cabinets and loads contain people or things. what."

The store clerk was also confused: "That's really strange."

How can people bump into the burden of boxes and cabinets?

Talking to the backyard, there are not many people staying tonight, so the store clerk personally checked each room.

Hearing the officers and soldiers coming in, the two girls and a servant in the room stood up.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The store clerk hurriedly comforted him, "The official is checking his identity."

Lin Guancha looked at the three women and asked lazily, "Lu Yin."

The maid hurriedly stepped forward and handed it over.

Lin Guancha casually looked at it.

"The two male servants are next door." The maid said hastily.

The officers and soldiers also finished their search. There were three beds in the small room, and there were no extra cabinets and boxes, and there was nothing to search.

"No problem," they replied.

Lu Yin was fine, Lin Guan almost nodded, turned around to leave, his gaze stopped suddenly, and fell on the shelf in the room.

"What is this?" he asked.

The maid hurriedly said: "This is an embroidery frame, a small embroidery frame for traveling, and our lady is an embroiderer."

Lin Guancha had seen Lu Yin just now and knew their identities. Looking at the quiet embroiderer, he frowned and asked, "Do you also need embroidery on the road?"

Aokiji, who had been silent all this time, lowered his eyes and said, "The construction schedule is tight, so I have to work day and night."

Yes, it's very common, people who work all day and night, thought the clerk.

Lin Guancha didn't leave, thinking that there were strange words on the order conveyed. Isn't embroidery such a delicate work? Is it strange to embroider while walking?
He walked over, looked at the pattern on the embroidery frame, and then at the girl: "You, let me embroider one."
