Chapter 747 Su Wuming 46
"Playing?" Eleventh Lady laughed in anger: "Are you taking me for a fool?"
Su Wuming coughed lightly, breaking the tense atmosphere.
"Ahem, Huan'er, don't be angry."
Chu Hua stuck out her tongue, made a face, and obediently retreated behind Su Wuming. She knew in her heart that Su Wuming didn't want her to expose her abilities too much in front of outsiders.
Although she thought it was fun, she didn't want to cause trouble for Su Wuming.
Su Wuming was quick-witted and pulled a seemingly ordinary candlestick beside him while Shiyi Niang was still shocked by Chuhua's movements. With a light "click" sound, a secret door appeared on the wall, and Lu Lingfeng and the others entered one after another.
"Looking for death!" Eleventh Lady roared, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison. She flashed at an astonishing speed, like a black lightning, and rushed straight towards Su Wuming.
Chu Hua pulled Su Wuming and dodged Shiyi Niang's fierce attack. Su Wuming staggered and almost fell into her arms. The unique fragrance of the girl lingered on his nose, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Huan'er, be careful and don't hurt yourself." Su Wuming steadied himself, with a hint of concern in his tone.
Chu Hua stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully: "Don't worry, I'm very powerful!"
Lu Lingfeng just happened to block Shiyi Niang's way. He swung the long sword in his hand, and a cold light flashed, pointing directly at Shiyi Niang's face.
"Witch, stop being so arrogant!"
Eleventh Lady dodged to the side and sneered: "With just a bunch of you shrimp soldiers and crab generals, you think you can stop me?"
Lu Lingfeng's eyes flashed, and he ignored Shiyi Niang's provocation, but turned his head to look at Yuan Lai behind him.
"So it really is you! As a county magistrate, you are the culprit who killed twelve innocent brides and brought chaos to Chang'an with the evil tea."
The tied-up Pei Xijun heard a familiar voice, turned around and saw the face that had been haunting her.
She struggled continuously, and the rope left red marks on her wrists, which made her skin look even whiter. Pei Xijun frowned, her almond eyes full of anxiety. She wanted to speak, but could only whimper, like a young bird with its throat strangled.
"Ms. Xijun, this is the man who wields the sword for you. Don't worry, he is a martial arts master and will definitely save us!" Su Wuming said exaggeratedly.
Chu Hua looked eager to try and was ready to go.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you still going to fight?" She tugged at Su Wuming's sleeve, her tone full of excitement and anticipation.
Su Wuming smiled helplessly. This girl really wanted the world to be in chaos.
"Hua'er, don't worry, just wait and see how Lu Lingfeng captures this evil woman."
Lu Lingfeng and Shiyi Niang were entangled in a fight, with swords flashing and cold air. Shiyi Niang's moves were fierce, and each move was aimed at Lu Lingfeng's vital points. But Lu Lingfeng was not a pushover, he was highly skilled in martial arts and agile, and he could always turn danger into safety. The two of them fought back and forth, and it was hard to tell who was better.
Seeing that she couldn't win the battle, Eleventh Lady blew the bone whistle and started to call for reinforcements.
Chu Huan would not let her succeed. She took out a slingshot from somewhere, and also a handful of shiny pebbles from somewhere, and aimed them at Shiyi Niang.
"biu~"
A small stone hit Shiyi Niang's mouth accurately, and the whistle stopped abruptly, turning into a cry of pain.
Eleventh Lady covered her mouth and stared at Chu Hua in disbelief: "You...you plotted against me!"
"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped." Chu Hua blinked innocently, as if the precise shot just now was just an accident.
"All's fair in war. Besides, you're not a good person either." As she said this, she loaded another small stone and tightened the rubber band, looking eager to try.
Su Wuming looked at Chu Hua's quirky appearance and shook his head helplessly. This girl was really hard to figure out.
"Huan'er, don't act silly." Although he said this, there was a hint of doting smile in his eyes.
"I'm not kidding, I'm helping you!"
Chu Hua said confidently: "Look, she can't blow the whistle to call for help now. Here's our chance!"
Su Wuming was amused by her twisted logic. This girl was really sharp-tongued.
"Lu Lingfeng, what are you still standing there for? Kill her while she's sick!" Chu Hua said as she loaded another small stone into the slingshot and aimed at Shiyi Niang.
Lu Lingfeng finally reacted, and he took a step forward, slashing at Shiyi Niang with the long knife in his hand without mercy. Shiyi Niang was unable to dodge, and a deep bloody mark was cut on her arm. She screamed in pain, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.
"Ouch, you hit me so hard, do you know how to be gentle with women?" Although Chu Hua said this, her hands did not slow down at all. Another small stone was thrown out and hit Shiyi Niang right between her eyebrows.
Shiyi Niang was in so much pain that tears came out of her eyes. She covered her forehead and pointed at Chu Hua and cursed, "You stinky girl, you are so cruel!"
"Same here!" Chu Hua retorted without showing any weakness.
Su Wuming looked at the two bickering and shook his head helplessly. This girl is really energetic.
The detectives behind were not idle either. They rushed towards Yuan Lai like arrows. They drew their swords, and the swords flashed and the cold air was intimidating.
Eleventh Lady saw that Lu Lingfeng's moves were deadly and she was gradually falling into a disadvantage. She also saw Chu Huan watching her closely and knew that it would be difficult for her to win today.
She gritted her teeth, made a feint, forced Lu Lingfeng back, turned around and ran, completely ignoring Yuan Lai who had no martial arts skills.
Yuanlai was tied up tightly and unable to move. Su Wuming was about to step forward to inquire about the case, but saw an arrow shot from somewhere and hit Yuanlai in the chest.
Yuan Lai groaned, his eyes widened, and he fell straight down. The sudden change made everyone present stunned, as if time had frozen.
The slingshot in Chu Hua's hand was still in the shooting posture, but the pebble had long disappeared.
"Dead?" She opened her eyes wide, looking at the scene in disbelief, as if she was watching an absurd drama.
Su Wuming was the first to react. He took a step forward, checked Yuan Lai's breath, and touched his carotid artery. His face suddenly became solemn.
"I'm out of breath."
Lu Lingfeng also walked up to Su Wuming with a serious look on his face: "Lieutenant Su, it seems someone doesn't want him to speak."
Seeing this, Chu Huan immediately ran towards the altar in two steps. She quickly went around Pei Xijun and used a dagger to pry open the iron chain that locked Pei Xijun.
Lu Tong led the Jinwu Guards and rushed to the scene in a mighty manner. He immediately saw Yuan Lai lying on the ground and the people surrounding him with different expressions.
"Come here, take the living ones back for questioning. Su Wuming, the county lieutenant of Chang'an, and Lu Lingfeng, the lieutenant general of the Jinwu Guard, will be sent to the Jinwu Prison!"
