Chapter 91 Reentering Beijing 3
It's just dawn and the air is slightly cool.
The capital seems to be colder than the border gate, and the white air after breathing can be faintly seen. When the whole capital was still in the haze of waking up, the door of Su Mansion was open and seemed to be a little busy.
For a short time, Su Heqing walked out slowly with a beautiful woman. Behind them, two maids were accompanied by a bamboo basket in their hands. There was already a carriage parked at the gate of the house, and there were more than a dozen carriages on both sides. They had been riding on horses for a long time, but they were guards in ordinary clothes.
Su Heqing put the beautiful woman into the carriage and turned to the mount. When he looked back, he nodded to a middle-aged man beside him. The middle-aged man immediately drank 'defeat', and the whole convoy drove slowly. For about an hour, the sun has risen very high and the weather has warmed up. Su Heqing and his party's team also stopped at a Taoist temple - Shuiyueguan.
The water moon is very fragrant. At this time, it is only an ordinary day, but many people go in and out of Taoism. Some of them are rich and poor, some come together, and some are very conspicuous, but Su Heqing and his party are not conspicuous at all because they dress very ordinary. After settling down the carriages and horses, Su Heqing and his party entered the water and moon view very low-key.
However, Su Heqing did not expect that he was still secretly monitored. This person is Mu Guiying who sneaked into the 'Su Mansion' late at night to find out the news. Mu Guiying knew that Su Heqing was coming to Shuiyueguan, so he inquired about the location in advance and waited here.
Mu Guiying walked around the road like an ordinary incense guest who came to the Water Moon View for the first time. At that time, as long as careful people can find that Mu Guiying followed Su Heqing and his party. In this short time, Mu Guiying saw that Su Heqing's attitude towards the beautiful woman was gentle, gentle and patient to accompany her, and knew that she must be Xiao Tianzuo's daughter Xiao Yanqiu.
The relationship between the couple looks very good, which reminds Mu Guiying of Yang Zongbao from time to time. I don't know why Mu Guiying can't help thinking of him in these days. Is this a common problem for married women? Mu Guiying is a little puzzled. Seeing Su Heqing leave Xiao Yanqiu with a middle-aged man, Mu Guiying shook her head and accelerated her pace to follow.
The middle-aged man with Su Heqing was the one who talked to him secretly last night. At this moment, he led the way, and Su Heqing followed behind. As he walked more and further away, the flow of people became less and less, and Su Heqing's face changed slightly. Until the two came to the back mountain of Shuiyueguan, and there were several quiet courtyards guarded by Liao soldiers. Su Heqing's eyes were full of resentment.
"General, this is it. The subordinates only knew that there were guards here for fear of alarming them, so they didn't go in to check. The middle-aged man and Su Heqing hid behind a big stone and looked at the small courtyard. However, the wall of the small courtyard is so high that you can't see the situation inside.
Su Heqing had a gloomy face and said for a moment, "Anyway, you have to go in and check it. You can find a way to attract their attention, and I'll find an opportunity to go in.
"Good." The middle-aged man paused and then nodded out of the woods.
The middle-aged man said something to the guards, while Su Heqing went around the courtyard wall on the other side and jumped into the yard with the help of a big tree. Seeing this, Mu Guiying also followed Su Heqing's route to climb the big tree. At this time, the big tree, which was just about to lose its leaves, was still very dense. Mu Guiying hid in it and watched Su Heqing lean towards a row of houses in the grass.
However, Mu Guiying was not in a hurry to catch up with Su Heqing, because the scenery of the yard was similar to the yard in the corner of Sufu. At this time, in the middle of the yard, two old women were drinking. Looking at the mess on the table, it should have been drinking for a long time. Mu Guiying thought for a moment and didn't move. She was quietly waiting for Su Heqing's next move. Because Su Heqing really found the person he was looking for, he would definitely deal with the two people in the yard.
Sure enough, after Su Heqing entered the room, there was an exclamation inside, followed by a crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground. The two old women who were drinking were stunned before they got up and ran to the main room. However, judging from the staggering movements of the two, they are already half drunk.
Mu Guiying just thought about whether the two women would be knocked unconscious by Su Heqing as soon as they entered the room, and there were two muffled hums in the main room. And the guard at the gate of the yard was very impatient by the middle-aged man, shouting that if he didn't leave, he would hit him or something, and didn't notice the situation in the yard at all.
Seeing this, Mu Guiying jumped from the tree into the yard and slipped to the window closest to the main room. Suddenly, two different and suppressed cries in the room came to Mu Guiying's ears.
"...Mom, it's so hard to find you."
"My son, since I left the house, I have been thinking about you all the time. But the despicable and shameless villain imprisoned his mother here and didn't let her get out of the yard..."
"Mom, stop talking. Let's get out of here first, wait for a safe place, and then we can talk about it in detail..."
Hearing this, Mu Guiying immediately got up and returned from the route just now and returned to the big tree. Su Heqing walked out of the room at this time, and then walked out of a woman. This woman should be about 40 years old, but there is always a melancholy on her face, which seems to be five or six years old. But Mu Guiying looked at it and felt that the woman was a little familiar.
Just as Mu Guiying searched her memory, Su Heqing and Mrs. Su had come to the front of the courtyard. Su Heqing gently pulled out his sword and nodded to Mrs. Su. Mrs. Su used the drunken women as an excuse to let the guards outside the door come in.
The four guards outside the door have just coaxed the middle-aged and are in a bad mood. Hearing Mrs. Su's call, it took a while for two people to open the courtyard door and enter the courtyard. After the gate of the courtyard was closed by the people outside the door, Su Heqing behind the two guards strode forward and stabbed the nearest guard to him with a sword. When the second guard was aware of turning around, Su Heqing had come to him and cut his neck neatly.
Although the two guards did not make any sound, the bloody smell and the sound of the guards falling to the ground still attracted the attention of the two people outside the door. Although the two felt bad, they didn't expect anyone to come to the courtyard. One of them asked in Liao language at random, but before the answer came from the courtyard, the door of the courtyard suddenly opened. At the same time, the middle-aged man hidden in the dark also rushed out.
Although Su Heqing solved a guard in an instant, the middle-aged man had not yet run to another guard. In horror, the guard opened his mouth and wanted to shout. But for some reason, he didn't shout out. He just hummed and was stabbed by the middle-aged man who arrived and threw himself to the ground.
Su Heqing was afraid that people would find out after a long time. He nodded to the middle-aged man and helped Mrs. Su leave quickly. Mu Guiying on the tree smiled and followed Su Heqing out of the yard. The remaining middle-aged man held a sword and added a few swords at the critical point of the four guards. But when he saw the last guard who was stabbed to death by him, his face changed.
The middle-aged man squatted down and looked carefully to find that there was a very small dagger in the guard's throat. Thinking that there were other people here, the middle-aged man immediately got up and looked around. But in the situation just now, if it hadn't been for this help, the guard would have shouted and shocked others. The middle-aged man could not confirm whether the secret man was an enemy or a friend, so he pulled out the little dagger and hurried away anxiously.
There is still a way down the mountain behind the water and moon view. Because the road is very remote and steep, almost no one walks from here. Su Heqing used this place and had already prepared a carriage. After Mrs. Su settled down and the middle-aged man came back, Su Heqing asked him to escort Mrs. Su away.
Before the middle-aged man left, he thought about it and pulled Su Heqing aside, handed him the little dagger, and explained the situation of the guard to him. Su Heqing listened, and his face suddenly became solemn. However, he didn't say much. After watching the carriage leave, he rushed to the Water and Moon View. After finding Xiao Yanqiu, the couple stayed for a while before returning home together.
As for Mu Guiying, she did not follow Su Heqing this time, but followed Mrs. Su instead. Mu Guiying believes that Su Heqing has found Mrs. Su and will definitely come to meet her as soon as possible. Therefore, Mu Guiying wisely chose Mrs. Su and did not follow Su Heqing.
The middle-aged man drove the carriage alone to the capital, and the westernmost area focused on the poor stopped in an inconspicuous courtyard. The courtyard is not very large, but it is very hidden. Only an old woman takes care of it. The middle-aged man settled Mrs. Su and told the old woman a few words before leaving.
Mu Guiying took advantage of the old woman's chat with Mrs. Su to find out the courtyard. In order to know the arrival of Su Heqing as soon as possible, she finally chose a room that seemed to be idle for a long time with a lot of debris and took a temporary rest. While nibbling the cake she bought on the way, Mu Guiying began to speculate about Mrs. Su's identity and why she was familiar with her.
But Mu Guiying hasn't figured it out yet, but Su Heqing has come. Although Mu Guiying has not had enough rest, she has to cheer up in order to find more useful information. Bypassing the old woman, Mu Guiying came to the corner outside Mrs. Su's room again. Mu Guiying was very depressed about this. She was about to catch up with the professional 'bag inking'.
In the room, Su Heqing and Mrs. Su cried bitterly again like the first sight. After all, Su Heqing is a man and recovers faster. After Mrs. Su calmed down, Su Heqing asked Mu Guiying a sentence in her heart: "Mom, when you were rescued today, someone secretly helped you. My son doesn't know who he is. Can you recognize this dagger..."
