General Yu Ling

Chapter 43 The Mystery of Fang Yue

Both hands were tied and thrown into the house.There is nothing inside the wooden house, only piles of hay and firewood, it seems that this is a firewood house.

The two of them cut off the hemp rope tied to their hands with their knives, and then Fang Yue sat on the ground, bowing his head in silence.

Nie Wucheng thought she was afraid, so he comforted her, "We disappeared for more than an hour, father will definitely notice something strange, and then come to rescue us, don't be afraid."

Fang Yue shook her head, "I'm not afraid, I'm just worried. Although my uncle is a lord, he didn't bring many people with him when he went back to the old house to worship the ancestors. If he came to look for us rashly, he might be in danger."

Nie Wucheng frowned, "We are locked up here, and it is difficult to escape for the time being. Not only are there guards outside, but you also have injuries on your shoulders..."

Suddenly there was a sound of unlocking the door, and the two hurriedly put their hands behind their backs as if they were still tied.

The guard outside opened the door, but it was one of the masked man's subordinates who came in. He was also wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his appearance.He walked in, and Fang Yue said in a deep voice, "Master wants to see you."

Fang Yue was very puzzled, and said coldly, "Why, what is your master's purpose?"

Nie Wucheng's reaction was more direct. He stood in front of Fang Yue, "If you don't want to go, take me with you."

The masked man walked over slowly, "Master also said that those who get in the way will be killed without mercy." His killing intent was revealed instantly.

Fang Yue was startled, hurriedly dragged back to Nie Wucheng, stood up, "I'll go, don't move him." Fang Yue could feel that this masked man really wanted to kill Nie Wucheng just now, and his martial arts were far superior to them more than two people.

"Fang Yue..."

Fang Yue interrupted Nie Wucheng directly, and said seriously, "It's okay, I'll go back as soon as I go." Then he turned around and left with the masked man.

After the two left, the guard locked the door again.

Nie Wucheng gritted his teeth and punched the wall. He was really useless. Fang Yue was affected by him. If he hadn't insisted on going up the mountain, all this would not have happened...

After an unknown amount of time, the door was opened again, and Fang Yue came back.

Nie Wucheng rushed to meet him, his expression anxious, "Are you all right, what happened?"

Fang Yue didn't speak, just shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Nie Wucheng saw that something was wrong with her.After a while, Fang Yue said, "Let's escape."

"Escape?" Nie Wucheng was taken aback, "How to escape, have you thought of a way?"

Fang Yue took out a fire pocket from her bosom.

"I just took this secretly. I will light it later to distract their attention. I noticed that there is a crack in the corner of the wooden house. When you ignite it, you chisel it open and then run out. Aren't you good at light work?" ? We will definitely be able to escape."

Nie Wucheng frowned, looking very disbelieving, "Just... this way? Can it work?"

Fang Yue turned her head away and coughed slightly, "...That's it, otherwise there will be no chance."

"Why rush? It's never too late to act at night." Nie Wucheng couldn't understand it even more. He felt that Fang Yue seemed to be hiding something.

"If uncle and the others come, wouldn't it be dangerous..." Fang Yue wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Nie Wucheng.

"My father is not stupid, he is very powerful, he would not act so recklessly."

Fang Yue lowered her head, couldn't see clearly, was silent for a while, and finally spoke.

"...Didn't you promise me one thing? No matter what. I will use this promise to let you escape now." Fang Yue looked at Nie Wucheng stubbornly.

"You..." Nie Wucheng was very puzzled. "What's wrong with you?"

"Do you agree?"

"Can……"

"Do you agree?"

Nie Wucheng helplessly held his forehead and rubbed it. "Okay... But if it fails, it will be troublesome."

Nie Wucheng didn't see Fang Yue's relieved smile.

Holding the fire pocket, Fang Yue said to Nie Wucheng, "Are you ready?" Nie Wucheng held a small hunting knife, aimed at the crack, and nodded, "Okay."

Fang Yue threw the fire bag on the firewood pile, and it was just a few fires at first, and then it spread rapidly and burned, and the whole house was filled with gray smoke. When the door was opened, the fire rushed in.

"It's on fire! Put out the fire!" People shouted, and then many people came to fight the fire with basins of water. Nie Wucheng was coughing desperately due to the thick smoke, tears came out, and finally dug a hole that a person could crawl out of.

"Go over!" Nie Wucheng covered his mouth and said to Fang Yue.

"You go first." Fang Yue's eyes darkened, looking at Nie Wucheng as if hiding a stormy sea.

Nie Wucheng didn't have time to pay attention, now is not the time to be humble, there is no time to waste, otherwise both of them will die, he nodded.

Then he bent down and climbed out. There was no house outside. This was at the corner of the village, and the outside was directly fenced with pointed wooden sticks.

"Come here!" Nie Wucheng anxiously shouted to Fang Yue who was inside the room.But Fang Yue still didn't move at all, "What are you doing! Come here!"

"I'm sorry... Wucheng..." Fang Yue on the other end said softly.

Nie Wucheng suddenly understood something, his face changed drastically, as if he was going back again, but the hole was blocked, he put his hands on the wooden house and beat hard, "Idiot! I tell you, I won't leave unless you come out! Do you hear me! Get out now!"

Fang Yue leaned on the wooden house and slid down slowly. Hearing Nie Wucheng's shout outside, she laughed like an innocent girl.

You know, Fang Yue has a calm personality, and it is the first time for him to smile like this.

"Thank you..." Her voice was hoarse from inhaling too much smoke.

Nie Wucheng was about to go around to the front, he put his arms around himself, he was startled, and then looked back, it turned out to be Nie Zhisheng, Nie Houye.

Nie Wucheng was ecstatic, "Father! Father! Hurry up and save Fang Yue, she is trapped in the house."

Nie Zhisheng looked at the burning wooden house, "Okay, I..." Before he finished speaking, a group of people with swords, bows and crossbows surrounded the Nie family father and son, including several masked figures.

"Mr. Nie, please go back, the master has told me not to embarrass you." The masked man said.

Nie Zhisheng looked around, his face was calm, and he showed no signs of panic. He smiled warmly and softly, "I want to leave too, but my niece is trapped in the house, and I have to take it back."

"I'm afraid it won't work. The master wants the girl. You can't take it with you."

"Haha, it's just a little girl. What is your master going to do? I'd better let this Marquis take it back." As he spoke, Nie Zhisheng put Nie Wucheng where he was, and his body moved slightly.

He stepped in front of the masked man and pinched the big hole on his neck. The masked man didn't dare to breathe, and Nie Zhisheng could kill him with just a little force.

A masked man next to him hurriedly said, "Let go, no matter how powerful your martial arts are, you can't fly with a child, let alone snatch someone from your master!"

"Really?" Nie Zhisheng smiled.The face of the masked man who was pinched by him turned pale, "If you kill me, you will never be able to get out, then, the girl master will not hurt her, don't worry, hurry, let go..."

A guard in the village took the opportunity to strangle Nie Wucheng's neck, and put a knife on Nie Wucheng's neck. Nie Wucheng could hardly resist because of exhaustion, so he just gritted his teeth and shouted, "Father, leave me alone, save Fang Yue!"

"Shut up, brat." The guard pressed the knife against Nie Wucheng's neck threateningly, and Nie Wucheng's neck immediately bled.

Nie Zhisheng's eyes turned cold, he let go of his hands, and the masked man fell to the ground, panting heavily.

"Okay, this Marquis will stop robbing people, let go of my son quickly. If something goes wrong with him, none of you will live."

The masked man waved his hands vigorously, his voice hoarse, "Quick...let go..."

The guard also let go and pushed Nie Wucheng over. Nie Wucheng staggered and was held up by Nie Zhisheng.

"Father, save, save Fang Yue..." Nie Wucheng insisted on the pain in his neck.

Nie Zhisheng didn't speak, but picked up Nie Wucheng and said to the masked man, "If there is something wrong with my niece, tell your master, I have saved his head for this Marquis." Then he left.

"Hahaha, Lord Nie is really interesting, isn't it, Fang Yue?" The young man wearing a mask witnessed everything in the attic where he was, sitting on the jade stool, very leisurely.

Standing next to him is Fang Yue. Fang Yue closed his eyes deeply, then opened them again, his eyes were empty, without saying a word.

The man in the mask glanced at her, then the corners of his lips curled up slightly, his eyes were deep, and he said nothing more.
