Chapter 148 Traitor
At this point, Lord Lu should be here.
The Lu residence is an incense stick's worth of time away from the Xie residence, and the journey is only ten minutes away.
Chen Heng wanted to discuss this matter with Lord Lu first and hear his opinion.
Because the main gate was too eye-catching, she went straight to the small door at the back. When she pushed it open, a small green garden came into view.
"Master Lu? Brother Gu Feng?" Shen Heng walked in familiarly. At this moment, she paused and looked at the bamboo basket in the courtyard. There was a hole on one side of the chubby basket, which looked like it had been kicked. This basket was the one that her sister-in-law asked her to bring. It was filled with freshly dried bamboo shoots.
Only he, Gu Feng and Yu Wei lived here with Lord Lu. Every few days, the eldest sister-in-law would ask her or A Jian to bring some food over.
She went over to pick up the basket, a trace of doubt flashing through her mind. She looked to the left and found a few books thrown at the door of the study. As a person like Lord Lu, he would never let the books fall to the ground. Without thinking, Shen Heng turned around and left in an instant, but she didn't expect to look up inadvertently and saw a masked man in black lying on the beam like a spider.
"Want to run?" Seeing that he was discovered, the masked man in black jumped down from the beam and drew the sword from his waist.
So unlucky? Chen Heng didn't expect that just coming to talk about something would lead to something like this. She hurriedly said, "Hey, big brother, look, I haven't seen what you look like, right? Let's just say goodbye, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clad man's scarf suddenly fell off.
Chen Heng: “…”
Man in black: “…”
"Now you see it?" A hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the man in black without the scarf.
Is God going to kill her? Chen Heng thought about what she had learned in the martial arts association at university: long fist, free fighting, tai chi, elementary sword, etc. It was okay against ordinary people, but it was probably not enough to deal with this kind of professional level.
"I'm face-blind and can't remember your face at all. Do you believe it?" Shen Heng said with a wry smile. The next moment, she threw the basket in her hand directly at the man in black. The man blocked the direction of the door, and she couldn't escape. With a fake move, the man in black mistakenly thought that she was going to run towards the door, so she turned around and ran directly to the study.
Seeing this, the man in black quickly swung out the sword in his hand. When the sword was about to pierce Shen Heng's back, it was knocked down by a dart that flew out from the water tank not far away. At the same time, a figure flew out from the water tank. It was none other than Gu Feng.
Shen Heng watched in shock as Gu Feng and the man in black fought each other. With just three moves, he subdued the man.
At that moment, Yu Wei also jumped down from the roof and said to Shen Hengyu: "Madam Shen is frightened."
"Brother Gu Feng, Brother Yu Wei?" Shen Heng was so frightened that she almost burst into tears. After all, she had seen big scenes on TV. She took a deep breath and managed to calm down. "He, he is?"
"He's just a thief. We'll hand him over to the authorities later." Gu Feng pretended to be relaxed, not wanting to scare Madam Shen. "Madam Shen, what's the matter?"
Thief? Shen Heng didn't care whether it was true or not. She took a deep breath to calm herself down: "I want to find someone else."
Just as he was speaking, two feather arrows suddenly shot out from the air.
Yu Wei quickly pulled Shen Heng over and protected her behind him. After Gu Feng cut off one of the arrows, the other arrow had already penetrated the chest of the man in black, killing him with one arrow.
Shen Heng's legs went weak as she watched, and she took a few steps back in fear.
Gu Feng saw a figure leaving from the roof, cursed "damn it" and chased after him.
"Madam Shen," Yu Wei said, "If you have any problems in the future, just come to the yamen and find me. I will tell you everything. Don't come to this house anymore. It's very dangerous."
Chen Heng nodded: "Mrs. Tang suddenly came to me this morning and said something about how Lord Tang and Brother Ajian look alike. I suspect she already knows something, but I don't know what she meant."
