Chapter 21
Chapter 21
At night, the silvery moonlight shone down on the entire room, vaguely illuminating the layout of the entire room.
Xu Minyou was lying on the ground, his eyes turned around and suddenly lit up.Then sneakily got up, turned over and slowly crawled towards the bed.
"Get out." A crisp voice sounded, and one foot was kicked out with lightning speed.
Xu Minyou quickly took off the strength of his legs, hugged a long leg in his arms, and dragged it towards himself, with a playful smile, "I knew you were not asleep, little bottle."
Being dragged violently, Wei Pingting rolled his big eyes, and was crushed by a huge object the next moment, almost unable to lift up, "Xu Minyou, you bastard, get out of here."
"Hey." Xu Minyou rolled sideways and lay down on the side of the big bed.
Wei Pingting took a breath, didn't speak any more, and acquiesced to Xu Minyou's actions.
"Since you grew up, we haven't slept together like now." Xu Minyou turned over and looked at Wei Pingting eagerly, "You don't even want to sleep with me anymore, obviously we used to sleep together."
Wei Pingting rolled his eyes, "When did it happen, you still remember it clearly."
"Because it's you, of course I have to remember, after all we grew up together!" Xu Minyou sighed, "You were very beautiful when you were young. Of course you are also beautiful now."
Wei Pingting put an elbow on Xu Minyou's chest, "Can I be described as a big man? Are you stupid? You have been stupid since you were a child." Wei Pingting rolled his eyes at Xu Minyou in the dark night.
"Hmm." Xu Minyou tactfully chose to shut up in the face of Wei Pingting's superior force.Feeling in his heart, for so many years, in front of Xiao Pingzi, the best thing he has learned is that a person who knows current affairs is a hero.
"Then I'm going to bed, and you go to bed early too."
"If you hadn't made such a fuss, I would have fallen asleep long ago."
"Ok."
Steady breathing sounded up and down, Wei Pingting opened his eyes, looked at the top of the bed quietly, and sighed faintly, barely audible, "We have grown up, we are no longer you and me, boys and ……girl."
The room fell silent again.
The erratic white smoke slowly overflowed from the thin tube protruding from the window and drifted throughout the room.Xu Minyou and Wei Pingting tilted their heads and fell into a deeper sleep.
With a "squeak", the door was gently pushed open, and a short man crept into the room.Put your fingers under the nostrils of Xu Minyou and the two, feel your breath for a moment, and then call out carefully twice, "Senior? Xu Shi?"
When there was no response, the man reached out and groped the chests of the two for a moment, found out two ledgers, and put them in his arms.He tiptoed out of the room again and gestured to the two people at the door.
The right hand stroked lightly across the throat.
Seeing the two nodding their heads, the man quickly walked out of the yard, walked into the separate yard, and handed over the account book he had found from Xu Minyou and the two of them.
The man took it over, and the moonlight clearly showed the man's face, he was obviously Ji Chao's confidant who went to the temporary Zhenyuan Hou Mansion to plead guilty during the day.
"My lord, the things are already in hand." His confidant walked into the main hall and handed the account book to Ji Chao.
Without looking at it, Ji Chao sent the things to the hands of the people sitting on the side, tidied his clothes slowly, and said clearly, "Governor Qi, take a closer look to see if it is something you lost."
Qi Ke took the account book, a flash of shame flashed in his eyes, but he smiled, "It's Governor Ji who has the means, I admire it."
"Hehe, I won't gossip anymore, Governor Qi should quickly see if something is right." Ji Chao's eyes flashed with pride, "It's not good to waste your thoughts in vain."
"What nonsense, hurry up and look at the account book, just grab it from the hands of those two bastards." The third master cursed, "I have to waste a few days of my time with a few people playing tricks."
"Third brother! Don't talk nonsense." The head of the family reprimanded, but did not take any actual action.
Qi Ke smiled and said nothing, carefully looked at the account book in his hand, his expression became more and more relaxed, "At present, the things are true. I will take my time to read it later."
The other three people were relaxed when they heard the words, and the second head yelled rudely, "I'm asleep, I've been tossing around for a few days." Suddenly thought of something, "Where are those two bastards? See what I call them, they can't survive. Please die!"
"It's already killed." Ji Chao said calmly after taking a sip of tea to refresh himself.
"What?", San Dangjia patted the table, "Didn't I say to keep those two bastards for torture?"
"What do you keep it for?" Ji Chao didn't care about the anger of the second boss, "Do you want to make trouble?"
The head of the family blocked the angry third head of the family to prevent trouble, "The governor is right, the dead are the safest. It's just that this time we have to help, the governor did not even say hello... It's not good!"
Ji Chao sneered, "People are running under your noses, it's not good for you to tell me?"
The atmosphere between the two parties suddenly became stalemate.
Qi Ke smiled softly, "It's getting late, everyone has contributed, so we won't hurt the friendship for two irrelevant people."
Big things turned into small ones, small things turned into small ones, Da Dangjia and Ji Zhao, who didn't really think about the conflict, saw someone passing the steps, so they both went down the steps.
The calm remained until the morning of the next day. On this day, Ji Chao's confidants discovered that two of his subordinates had not returned to their orders for a long time, and found two corpses behind the rockery. They were the two subordinates who had not returned to their orders.
But Qi Ke found that the account book was wrong.
Soon, the four gathered together again.
Ji Chao slammed a piece of paper on the table, angrily said, "These two damn bastards." He moved his palm away, and there was a big grimace, with the word "surprise" in the sidebar.
"You mentioned me in the account book?" Ji Chao looked at Qi Ke suspiciously.
Qi Ke shook his head, and all kinds of interests were clearly written in the account book, except for Qi Ke and Ji Chao, who all used pronouns, just in case.
What actually recorded them was in the folder of the account book. That night, Qi Ke saw that the folder had not been opened, so he thought it was safe.
After all, the pages are made thin and thin, no different from ordinary book pages, and it is not obvious from ordinary pages.
"A coincidence or an inside thief?" Qi Ke said softly.
"I can't control that much anymore, send people to chase them immediately, they can't run very far. They are not as familiar with us in Qingzhou, so they took a shortcut." The head immediately got up, "If they run away..."
On the official road out of Qingzhou, seven or eight people rode their horses galloping, with the rolling loess drifting behind them.
Not long after they passed by, a pair of chariots and horses galloped past, looking for fresh horseshoe prints and moving forward again.Both sides are chasing after each other, and neither dare to relax.
But the horses that had been running all night were exhausted, and the steed under Xu Minyou finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.Xu Minyou quickly abandoned the horse and rolled a few times on the ground.
Wei Pingting got off his horse and quickly ran to Xu Minyou's side, "How are you? Is there anything wrong?"
"It's okay, just a little scratch." Xu Minyou smiled reassuringly, "They should find out that the account book is wrong now. It's a pity that the time is still short, otherwise they can hide it for more time."
At this time, a guard listened closely, with a nervous face, "My lord, someone is chasing up from behind. Listen to the sound of horseshoes, there are at least 20 people."
"So fast?" Xu Minyou's face changed slightly, and he turned his head to glance at the landmark, "Obviously it's only half an hour away from the next state."
"Little bottle, I'm the one who dragged you down." Xu Minyou smiled bitterly.
Wei Pingting frowned, "What are you talking about, we can go into the mountains on both sides, and we can last for a while."
The messy horseshoes stepped on the ground. Ji Chao looked at the horse lying on the ground and seemed to be breathing, and turned his eyes to the forests on both sides. "Search the mountain."
As soon as the words were finished, five or six dark objects were thrown out of the forest and landed on the horses unexpectedly.
With a sound of "boom", the gunpowder exploded, and the horses started to scurry in fright.The soldier was thrown off his horse by accident, and was trampled to death before he had time to react.
"Scatter, scatter." Ji Chao immediately dispersed the soldiers in surprise.
The remaining power of the gunpowder dissipated, half of the horses were lost, and some of them went to nowhere. Some soldiers were seriously injured or even died.Ji Chao's face was gloomy, "Search for me."
In the forest, Xu Minyou turned around after throwing the gunpowder, and ran into the vegetation, taking advantage of the time bought by gunpowder to find a hiding place for himself.
It's just that two fists can't beat four hands, even with the support of fire/powder.He is not a genius, and it took only a few days to get the formula, so the quantity of fire/powder was limited. An hour later, Xu Minyou and others were driven from the forest to the official road by soldiers.
"Young Master, you have a good method." Ji Chao laughed back angrily, "I just don't know if the eldest son counts how hard his neck is? Will he be decapitated here today?"
Xu Minyou was extremely tired, and sat down on the ground without caring about his image, "What counts, so what if you don't count?"
"There is no difference." Ji Chao pulled out the long sword from his confidant's waist, flicked the blade between his fingers, and said with a "buzz", "It's just a death."
Xu Minyou raised his eyelids with difficulty, "Why, Governor Ji doesn't want the account book anymore?"
"There were four people who entered the mine that day." Later, Qi Ke, who was above him, took Xu Minyou's words, "Now there are only two of you, and you are divided into two groups, one is true and the other is false."
"The other two walked on the official road openly and aboveboard, and they haven't left Qingzhou yet, and they are closely monitored by me." The head of the family appeared from the other side of the official road, "It must be the bait you released."
"Now we just need to kill all of you, cut the weeds and eradicate the roots..." Ji Chaojian pointed at Xu Minyou's throat, "In a few years, who will care about what happened in Qingzhou?"
Xu Minyou's face was ugly, and a trace of panic finally appeared in his eyes.
"Did you know that Ji Chao and Qi Ke were in collusion?" The head of the family wiped the sword in his hand, "I'm dying, please ask my son to clear up my doubts."
"That's right, otherwise you thought I would cooperate with you in delaying the arrival of Governor Ji and the hero save us?" Xu Minyou laughed, "Don't blame me for not being able to deal with the people around you cleanly. "
"So what?" Qi Ke narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Minyou indifferently, "What about the dead?"
The sharp arrows pointed at Xu Minyou.
