Chapter 73
Chapter 73
I stayed in the room for almost an hour before Chu Feng came back from outside.
As soon as he saw me, he breathed a sigh of relief, pushed back those who followed him, closed the door and said, "little tiger, why did you come back first, I didn't answer you all the way, and I was worried that something happened to you thing."
"What else can happen to me... I won't fight with others for nothing." I said in a low mood.
"What's the matter, little tiger?" Chu Feng seemed to want to come over and hug me, but when he just reached out and touched me, I flinched reflexively.
"I'm sorry, I..." I feel like I'm overreacting, but there's no way, I've been calm for an hour and I still can't calm myself down completely, I can't help but think of the hands that have so tenderly caressed me countless times just killed People, and not one but eight, and not self-defense counterattack is intentional homicide, and I was his accomplice.
Even if Wang Yi deserved what he deserved, his servants and bodyguards may not all be heinous people, but if they want to kill Wang Yi, they must die. If they don't die, Chu Feng will die.
"...Don't say that, I'm not good enough to scare you." Chu Feng's expression was a little helpless and distressed, which made me unbearable, and he stretched out his hand to me again, with a tentative hesitation in his movements. I tried not to run away, and he hugged me gently.
I heard him comfort me softly in my ear: "Don't be afraid, little tiger, don't be afraid of me...I won't hurt you, never, trust me."
I really wanted to use my reason to convince myself not to be separated because of this kind of thing, but it was useless. The looming bloody smell from his body made me feel physically disgusted involuntarily.
Until I suddenly thought of something, I pushed him away suddenly: "Are you injured?"
"Shh... I'm fine, don't say anything."
"What do you mean it's nothing serious, let me see where your injuries are!" At this time, I couldn't care less about whether he would kill or not, and I was nervously pestering him to check his wounds.
Chu Feng followed me and took off his shirt, revealing a wound under his ribs.The wound didn't look big, the blood wetted a small piece of clothes nearby, and now it has solidified, it seems that when he used Wang Gui as a shield, the force of the crossbow shot through Wang Gui's body, and the arrow still pierced into it. his flesh.
Fortunately, the wound was relatively shallow. If it went any deeper, it would have injured the lungs, which could be fatal under ancient medical conditions.
Apart from this, there were no injuries on other parts of his body, so there is indeed a world of difference between professional soldiers and civilians like him who survived on the frontier battlefield. Just a small cut and a few bruises.
I feel relieved for the time being, but in order to prevent a small wound infection from turning into a major incident, it is best to use some medicine to bandage it.
But Chu Feng didn't allow me to call a doctor, and he didn't let me disturb other people. He just dug out Jinchuang medicine from his luggage and treated the wound briefly with my help.
I can understand that Wang Yi's death may be discovered, and we will be very passive by then.
In fact, we are also very passive right now. I think this is probably the reason why Wang Yi dared to be so sure. After all, the higher the status, the more problems people think about. Even the emperor endured it again and again, not daring to take action against the Wang family easily. Who would have thought that Chu Feng, a dignified fourth-rank military officer of the court, would kill as soon as he said he would like a bachelor gangster? Even I, who thought I knew Chu Feng very well, didn't think of it, okay?
"Why did you suddenly kill Wang Yi?" I still couldn't figure it out, and asked while bandaging Chu Feng's wound.
"The situation at the time was complicated, and Wang Yi was so bold and self-righteous, and I didn't know what outrageous things he would do next, so I thought it would be a good idea to simply shut him up forever. Ways. Anyway, judging from what this person has done, he died without injustice at all."
"But haven't you thought about the consequences of doing this?" I said sadly, "You have stabbed a hornet's nest."
"I have thought about it, but I still feel that the worst situation can't be worse than the situation at that time." Chu Feng said, "Anyway, everyone has been killed now, so let's think about how to deal with the aftermath."
"Are we going to leave this place overnight?" I have no idea what to do next.
Chu Feng shook his head: "No, no one saw how Wang Yi died at first, so if we leave, don't we just call ourselves out."
"Then what should we do? Is everything going as usual, waiting for them to come and arrest people?"
"If they want to come to arrest people, they have to mobilize at least three to five times more troops than us. Forgive them for not having the courage to openly rebel in the place where the government office is located." Chu Feng said calmly, "What they can do now The only way is to ask the emperor to arrest me from top to bottom. If that's the case, it doesn't matter where I am or where I am. It's better to stand still so that they don't find any opportunities to take advantage of me. Next, we must take strict precautions and not let What real evidence they got, as long as I refuse to admit all the criticisms, they can't do anything about it. You have to be careful to say something, I was with you last night and didn't go anywhere, you know?"
"So... what are you going to do with the fisherman who sent you to the island? The Wang family will definitely find him."
"I have already sent someone to send him to a place where no one knows him, and he is not allowed to return to this place within three years."
"...Will you kill him to silence him?" I looked at him cautiously and asked.
"No." Chu Feng looked at me and said, "Don't believe me, I don't like killing innocent people indiscriminately."
I don't want to entangle this topic with him, because it feels like we are about to split within ourselves.
"However, even so, how long can we keep it a secret? I'm afraid we will be found out sooner or later."
"In fact, it doesn't take long to hide it, as long as the Wang family can't catch us before they are cleaned up." Chu Feng said, "Since the Wang family is already so arrogant, I don't believe how long they can go around. .”
I didn't sleep very well that night, and the scenes of blood and killings were repeated in my dreams. I even dreamed that I became the target of the vicious Chu Feng, and the plug-in failed. I was chased by him. There is no way to escape.
Originally, if I couldn't sleep well, as long as Chu Feng hugged me, I would feel at ease, but his touch tonight would make me nervous and goosebumps all over my body, so I can only stay away from him and stay alone in the bed After tossing and turning all night, I got up the next day with a pair of dark circles under my eyes.
Chu Feng patted my head with some distress: "If I knew you would be so scared, I shouldn't have let you go with me."
I slapped his hand away, and said angrily, "If I hadn't helped, you might have been shot as a hedgehog, and I wouldn't even be in the mood for nightmares."
Chu Feng wanted to say something else, but saw the eunuch Lai Fu coming outside our room door, and bowed to us: "This old slave has seen Lord Immortal Master and General Chu."
I thought that the eunuch, as a person sent by the emperor to "do things", generally does not follow the same path as the two people sent by the emperor to "pretend". Usually, we travel with us and he does his work. , To say hello today is definitely going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
Sure enough, after Chu Feng invited him into the room, Lai Fu asked: "I heard that the West Lake was not very peaceful last night, so I came here to inform Master Xianshi and General Chu. They were not surprised last night. Are you going?"
Chu Feng and I looked at each other in dismay, and Chu Feng admitted bluntly: "Elder-in-law, you don't have to play tricks, I was the one who killed Wang Yi last night."
As soon as this remark came out, even Lai Fu's old, mature and prudent face was stunned: "...It's really you, General Chu, have you forgotten how the emperor explained it?"
"I didn't forget, but he wanted to kill me first, so I have no obligation to sit still." Chu Feng calmly turned black and white in front of the emperor's spokesperson and the megaphone.
"How do you say that?" Lai Fu asked.
"Yesterday, Wang Yi suddenly sent a note asking me to meet alone in the middle of the lake, so I went to see what he was up to, but Wang Yi was so whimsical and intended to force me to join him in rebellion. , I didn’t want to give in, he saw that I was alone and alone, so he took the risk and called the crossbowmen to kill me.”
Apart from the fact that whoever made the first move is dead anyway, Chu Feng did not lie, but Lai Fu is worthy of being one of the top secret agents around the emperor, and he immediately caught the loophole in Chu Feng's words: "This... ...The old slave still doesn't understand a little bit, may I ask why General Chu agreed to meet Wang Yi alone, and what did he use to threaten the general to rebel?"
"Why do you ask so many questions!" I couldn't listen anymore, "Anyway, that guy with ulterior motives Wang Yi is dead. What kind of moth, I must protect him, you understand?"
I know in my heart that no matter whether Wang Yi dies or not, Chu Feng's secrets are likely to be lost, but I don't believe that with my current family, prestige and influence, I can't even keep his life.
Seeing my resistance like this, Lai Fu stopped asking, and just said: "So, this old slave will report this to the emperor in advance, and before waiting for the emperor's reply, please don't make any noise, old slave first. Retire."
After Laifu said that, we pretended to be fine and continued to prepare for our trip to Sichuan, regardless of the rumors outside, that there was a huge murder case on the small island in the middle of the lake, and several servants of the Wang family fell overnight. All were silenced, the Wang family's young master disappeared, and it was not known whether they were kidnapped or simply killed by the enemy. The parents of the Wang family were already frantic, offering huge rewards everywhere to find clues.
And Wang Yi's body had already sunk to the bottom of the West Lake, and he didn't know where it was taken by the current, when it would be salvaged, or maybe it was simply destroyed by fishes.
