Su Ziji no longer looked at the unwilling corpse, but he knew when the pair of little beggars hid. Xun Sichen was talking at that time, and he was probably in a state of emotion, but he didn't notice the two children without martial arts approaching him.
Seeing the blood on the faces of the two little beggars and not daring to move, Su Ziji paused, walked up to them in a few steps, lowered his body, took out the handkerchief from his sleeves, and wiped his face clean.
Seeing that the brother and sister were trembling slightly but not screaming, Su Ziji nodded: "You can follow me from now on."
Just as he said that, the killing outside gradually subsided, and when Su Ziji stood up, he heard a sharp voice shouting: "In a peaceful and prosperous world, someone dares to assassinate an official of the imperial court! I must go back and report to the imperial envoy and let him investigate this matter.
What happened! Let me give you all an explanation, Mr. Su!"
When I said the last part, my voice was vibrating, and I couldn't tell whether it was anger or fear.
When Su Ziji and Xun Sichen were confronting each other just now, Cen Rubai, who was also at the screen, very wisely hid in the corner so as not to cause trouble to Su Ziji.
Compared with Su Ziji, who looks like a weak scholar on the surface but is actually a very strong boss, Cen Rubai is a real weak scholar who looks the same on the inside.
If he is by Su Ziji's side, he is not helping, but actually holding him back.
At this time, he slowly walked over, took a look at Xun Sichen, who was lying on the ground and was completely dead, and said to Su Ziji: "I knew that the young master would definitely be able to deal with this person."
Su Ziji smiled and pointed at the two children: "If they are willing to follow me, please take them with me on the road. I'm afraid what happened just now scared them."
Cen Rubai saw that although the brother and sister were scared, they could control themselves very well. They were much stronger than the adults outside who seemed to be scared out of their wits.
He nodded: "It looks really good."
Asked for their names.
As Su Ziji walked out, he saw Zhang Sui shouting and trembling as he wanted to go back overnight. He immediately shouted to stop, pointed at the two armored soldiers, and said: "It may not be peaceful on the way back.
Let the two of you go back with you."
As he spoke, Su Ziji came to Zhang Sui's side and patted Zhang Sui's uninjured shoulder: "This time you were frightened. Please bandage the wound first and then leave."
Zhang Sui met Su Ziji's eyes, and for some reason, he felt as if he had been seen through. He smiled guiltily: "That's right, ouch!"
Then he screamed again due to pain.
Su Ziji was a little speechless at his appearance, and ordered the soldiers to apply the gold sore medicine they brought with them to Zhang Sui, and then washed the wound and bandaged it.
Even so, Zhang Sui immediately asked to go back again.
"Be careful along the way." Su Ziji did not stop him this time. He watched two armored soldiers escort Zhang Sui to an ox cart and went back the way they came. He gradually lost sight of him under the night, and then he looked away.
"This man is scared." Cen Rubai came to Su Ziji's side at this time and sneered: "He doesn't want to go back and report to the imperial envoy so that he can investigate the matter. He clearly doesn't want to accompany the young master to go forward for fear of encountering danger again.
.”
This was his own intention, otherwise it would be hard to prove it. Su Ziji smiled: "This is human nature, and being able to report it back to the imperial envoy is also a prick. The imperial envoy is from the King of Shu. Once he learned about this, he
It’s impossible not to take the opportunity to take eye drops. Although we didn’t kill anyone, we injured a few, but we still have to be prepared.”
"If we were not prepared, at this moment, we would be in a different situation than those corpses on the ground. We are only ten people."
"Because I have to continue my journey, I can't immediately take revenge on the person behind the scenes. Having the help of the imperial envoy can help me relieve my anger first."
"Then how to deal with these dead bodies?" Cen Rubai looked around: "There must be one or two people left here so that people from Mingde Mansion can come after daybreak."
"No need." Su Ziji shook his head: "Zhang Sui went back to report to the imperial envoy and sent two people to follow him. The imperial envoy got the news and will not ignore it. They will finish the dead bodies here. We will continue on our way."
"As for the boss and employees here, if they are still here, give them some silver and let them go elsewhere first. If they are no longer here..."
Cen Rubai answered: "Then they may also be members of the King of Qi, and they have been ambushing here for a long time. Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that there happens to be a hotel in this wilderness."
"Of course, it's possible that he was scared away by us."
Cen Rubai caught a glimpse of the two brothers and sisters who were watching carefully not far away: "You can ask those two little beggars about this."
After a while, a soldier who went to search the backyard came back and reported that the boss and the waiter who had prepared the guest room for them were missing. It was not known whether they were scared away or whether they were in the same group as the assassin, so they escaped.
Already.
Su Ziji ordered people to gather the dead bodies into the lobby. Although he did not intend to deal with the people like this, it would be a waste of time, but he could do it by gathering the bodies together so as not to scare passers-by.
At this time, Cen Rubai, who had gone to talk and test, had returned.
"Sir, the little beggar told me that this hotel has been open here for more than two years. The brother and sister are children from the previous village. Because their families have gone there one after another, and there have been disasters, they have been here and there, and they pass by each other from time to time.
The people were begging for some food and barely surviving.”
"It's true as they said, I wrongly blamed the store owner and them." Cen Rubai said.
"Then leave some money in the backyard. If they come back, they can see it. It will be considered as compensation for destroying some tables, chairs and dishes." Su Ziji ordered.
After a brief tidying up, the team set out under the cover of night.
It's not that they don't want to rest, but that there was an ambush in this place just now, and no one knows if there will be a second group of assassins.
Even though Su Ziji had learned some information from the fox, he didn't want to take any risks with such a small number of people.
"By the way, where are my two foxes?" As he walked onto the road, Su Ziji glanced around subconsciously, but did not see the figure of the fox who got off the boat one step earlier than him.
When he was at the hotel before, he didn't see foxes. Su Ziji was not worried about them getting lost. What he was worried about was whether they would run into people from the Taoist sect because they wandered around outside the capital.
"Young Master, we are short of manpower right now. Why don't we do this? I have also interacted with some Jianghu people. Why don't I send them a letter in advance and ask them to help you check the situation in Shun'an Mansion?"
In the dark, while riding in a bullock cart with Su Ziji, Cen Rubai was silent for a while and then took the initiative to suggest that the rebellion and fighting just now impressed him deeply, both in terms of calculation and martial arts.
Especially the killing of Xun Sichen was obviously a pity, but he did not hesitate and did not implicate the beggar or the shopkeeper. This kind of sense of propriety is actually very rare.
"Maybe he is another wise master who is not inferior to Young Master Lin."
Su Ziji glanced at it, said nothing, and responded with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Cen."
