"Lie, lie down." Wu Du got into bed with an irritated face.
Duan Ling was relieved, and whispered in Wu Du's ear, "What should I do next?"
Wu Du didn't want to listen to him
"Hello." Duan Ling grabbed his shoulder.
"We have to figure out a way." Duan Ling said, "Stabilize this place. If the 20,000 people come in, Tongguan will be in danger."
Wu Du put his hand over Duan Ling's face, and pressed him directly to lie back.
"Why are you worried about so much?" Wu Du said, "It's not our responsibility."
"But… "
Wu Du ignored Duan Ling, and Duan Ling thought to himself what to do with that letter? How can I find a way to pass the news back, but will Mu Kuangda agree to his conditions? You must not just kill Bian Lingbai and leave, otherwise the place will be chaotic.
The previous plan was to kill, steal, and leave. However, now that Bian Lingbai is killed, Dang Xiang is eyeing him, watching from the side, and he may come in at any time. Duan Ling fell asleep with his eyes closed, only to feel that it was troublesome both horizontally and vertically. And there is no evidence yet. It is said that Bian Lingbai intends to rebel. He is just talking about it... Although he does have this intention.
In the dark night, Duan Ling lay motionless, suddenly felt Wu Du move, Wu Du gently grabbed Duan Ling's hand on his body, put it aside, and carefully lifted Duan Ling's feet to let him The foot on his waist slid down.
Duan Ling thought about you to pee, do you need to be so careful
Next, Wu Du turned around and got out of bed, silently, standing barefoot, picked up the black night clothes that he had hidden earlier, and put it on again.
Duan Ling: "Where are you going?"
Wu Du was taken aback by surprise, Duan Ling said, "Take me, take me, take me."
"In the middle of the night, still not sleeping?" Wu Du said.
"You didn't sleep either." Duan Ling guessed vaguely and said, "Go to Bian Lingbai's bedroom?"
Wu Du said "um", Duan Ling was smart, and the enemy had just run away. Although the mansion was heavily guarded at this time, for Bian Lingbai, it was the most relaxed time. After all, if the assassin missed, he would be temporarily Retreat, dormant waiting for the moment.
Wu Du hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the door and went out, saying, "Don't wear boots, it will make a noise, go."
Duan Ling came out wearing single clothes, one person was white and the other was black. Duan Ling couldn't help laughing and laughing. He thought, Wu Du, you changed into black, does it make sense? One catch is two catches.
Just as he was about to walk towards the courtyard, Wu Du picked up Duan Ling and jumped up.
Duan Ling was not too small, but Wu Du held him without any difficulty. He walked quickly across the courtyard to the wooden porch, pushed the door lightly, and the two walked in. Wu Du dragged Duan Ling's wrist with one hand. , the two stood still at the corner, hiding in the shadows, and at the same time the two night guards passed by, just missing the gap.
Wu Du looked around and moved his ears at the same time. He looped Duan Ling's waist with one hand, jumped up on the beam, and turned directly onto the roof from the eaves. Duan Ling couldn't help but think of the night when he went to Beijing. Rescue Batu's memory.
The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of clouds.
Under a full moon, Duan Ling suddenly had strange feelings for Wu Du, as if his father had returned to him.
He turned his head sideways, leaned in front of Wu Du's shoulders, and hugged Wu Du's waist.
Wu Du: "!!"
Wu Du was about to quickly pass the last section, when suddenly his feet slipped, and he fell with Duan Ling with the tiles. Duan Ling almost screamed, and the two fell into the yard.
"who!"
"There are assassins!"
The sound immediately alerted the guards, Wu Du's expression was going crazy, Duan Ling looked dazed, the two hid behind the rockery, Wu Du held his forehead with one hand, and his face was full of "I'm in vain" expression.
The guards were trembling, holding swords, standing under the corridor, checking everywhere, but found nothing. Wu Du picked up a stone and threw it in the opposite direction outside the courtyard, making an arc and falling on the roof more than ten steps away. up, make a sound.
"Go over there!" said the guard. "Come on!"
All the talents in the courtyard disappeared at once, Wu Duchao Duan Ling angrily said: "What are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything." Duan Ling said, "Did I do anything?"
Someone else came over, so Wu Du and Duan Ling quickly passed the corridor and came to Bian Lingbai's bedroom. Wu Du gave Duan Ling a shush, and Duan Ling's heart was pounding. There were two guards guarding the courtyard, and Wu Du went around to the bedroom and stood under the window.
Wu Du was dressed in black, bare feet, standing long, turned his head slightly, and turned his ears into the room. The world was silent, Duan Ling closed his eyes, as if he heard the sound of flowers blooming in the quiet night.
"I don't even sleep in the middle of the night." Wu Du opened the window and stepped in. Duan Ling followed, and turned around to close the door. There was no one in the room. negotiating.
The treasure map on the table was gone, and it was expected to be taken away by Bian Lingbai.
"This brick." Duan Ling groped on the floor brick. Wu Du came over and stood on the brick. He looked up, but he didn't find the mechanism. He asked Duan Ling to get up. The two looked at the wall together. There was a groove on the wall. There were traces of metal scratches on the side, Wu Du took out the dagger, stuck it into the groove, and the wall immediately loosened and slid away gently.
"I found it!" Duan Ling saw that there was a dark room with only one person inside. There were a lot of thread-bound books in it. When he opened it, he saw that it was densely packed, full of names, and one letter after another.
"Quick." Wu Du urged.
Duan Ling dug out the original book and looked at the account book in the dim moonlight. There was a single word of the person's name listed on it. Duan Ling didn't quite recognize it, and the number was written on the back.
"This must be the list of bribes." Duan Ling didn't know the officials in the DPRK and China, so he didn't know the number. He wanted to read the letter. Wu Du said, "Don't read the letter, just leave when you find something, and wait for him to die for the rest. Look for it later."
Now that the place to hide the things has been found, it is possible to deal with Bian Lingbai first, but there are still too many variables in the future. If the Tongguan army mutines, or if there are still cronies who know about this place, it will be even more troublesome.
While rummaging, footsteps suddenly came from outside, Wu Du's expression changed, he immediately pressed Duan Ling, the two entered the dark room, quickly returned their hands, and closed the dark room door silently.
Duan Ling: "..."
Wu Du closed his eyes and counted his footsteps. At the moment when the footsteps stopped and Bian Lingbai opened the door, the door lock rang. Wu Du calculated the time and closed the dark room door.
One door opened and the other closed, and the sounds overlapped seamlessly.
"Say it yourself, what to do now." Bian Lingbai's voice sounded in the dark room.
The space in the dark room was extremely narrow. Two people were squeezed into the space that could only accommodate one person. Duan Ling and Wu Du had to hug each other tightly. Duan Ling had no place to put his hands. Let him hug his neck.
The two breathed intertwined, and Wu Du's heart beat like a thousand horses smashing through the ground, rushing towards Duanling.
"I'll set off tonight." Helan Jie replied in a gloomy and hoarse voice, "I must have never run far away, and vowed to avenge this broken hand."
Bian Lingbai said sharply, "What about the original plan?! Go as soon as you want?"
"Bian Lingbai!" Helan Jie's hoarse voice was mixed with the sound of the inkstone on the table and the pen sink falling to the ground, and then the chair fell down.
"Don't forget who asked me to come." Helan Jie's voice was threatening.
Bian Lingbai's momentum suddenly weakened, Duan Ling closed his eyes, guessing that Bian Lingbai was most likely pressed by Helan Jie's iron hook against his throat, Bian Lingbai said: "Now you leave without authorization, who will take Helianbo's dog's life. Don't forget, your master, Lord Helianda, doesn't want him to die in Dachen, let alone in the territory of Xiliang."
Duan Ling suddenly mentioned it in his heart, and heard Helan Jie snort angrily.
"According to orders, I will naturally do it."
Bian Lingbai: "How can you be sure..."
"You don't need to worry about that." Helan Jie said again.
"When will you be back?" Bian Lingbai said solemnly, "Give me some time, I can't drag it on any longer. The agreement with Helenda has not yet been completed, and it must be resolved as soon as possible."
Helan Jie said: "Now set the ambush location. In seven days, I will rush there and join you. As for how to lead Helianbo, it is up to you."
"There is no suitable place..." Bian Lingbai's tone was irritable, and the sound of pacing sounded.
Duan Ling raised his head and saw that Wu Du's eyes were full of confusion. Duan Ling raised his hand to write with his fingers on Wu Du's body, but Wu Du grabbed his hand and shook his head slightly, indicating that he should not do anything now, so as not to cause problems.
But Helan Jie became impatient, and said, "It's here, don't make it any longer!
"No!" Bian Lingbai hurriedly put away the map spread on the table and said, "This is not a marching map."
Helan Jie didn't speak any more, went out of the room like a gust of wind, and disappeared.
"Wait!" Bian Lingbai put away the treasure map and quickly chased it out.
After the footsteps were getting farther, the dark room door opened again, and Duan Ling and Wu Du were covered in sweat and came out wet.
"Quick." Wu Du said, "Bian Lingbai will be back soon."
Duan Ling was still thinking about the matter just now, and he was uneasy for a while, and replied: "Okay... okay! I found it!"
Wu Du shoved the book into Duan Ling's arms, picked him up again, and jumped out of the window, followed by a sound from the front door again, and Bian Lingbai came back.
It's very dangerous. Recalling the action tonight, Duan Ling only felt that Wu Du's ability to control time was too strong.
It was almost dawn, the two returned to the room, Wu Du washed his feet with water, and asked Duan Ling, "Is it it?"
Duan Ling turned around for a while under the bright sky, and replied, "It's it."
An unnamed booklet recorded the silver taels spent on horses and iron equipment, as well as bills. Bian Lingbai owed the party 112,000 taels of silver. No wonder he was so anxious to unearth treasures to fill the shortfall.
"Let's do it today." Wu Du said, "Go to sleep, I'll wake you up after the poison, let's take the opportunity to leave."
"No." Duan Ling said immediately, "I can't kill him now, otherwise, when Bian Lingbai dies, Helianda doesn't get the money, and he has already coveted Tongguan's business rights. You can see that he has ambushed so many soldiers, he will definitely come over. Yes. Xichuan is moving the capital, once the northwest barrier is lost, the country will only become more chaotic.”
Wu Du frowned when he heard this.
"Kill him." Wu Du said, "Let's go back immediately, and let the shepherd minister send someone over."
"Who should I send?" Duan Ling said, "Today, I will take out Bian Lingbai, fast horses and whips, a round trip, even if riding a thousand miles, it will take six days and nights. These six days are enough for too many things to happen."
Wu Du said "um" and didn't say any more.
Duan Ling looked at Wu Du, and Wu Du said, "Think of a way, why are you staring at me? Isn't that what brought you out to do this kind of thing?"
Duan Ling pondered for a moment, and suddenly came up with a bold plan - although the origin of the assassin was unknown, he had already escaped, and Helan Jie went after him. The revenge of the broken hand... Was a hand cut off by the previous assassin? Then Helan Jie's seven days are enough for Wu Du to go back and forth between Xichuan and Tongguan.
Since Helan Jie is not here, he is safe. If Wu Du returns to Xichuan with the ledger and his own handwritten letter, he asks Mu Kuangda for a hand letter, sends an imperial messenger over, and then joins forces with Helianbo. After Bian Lingbai's death, he immediately managed to receive Tongguan's army...
