Chapter 250 Distress
Even though we have known each other for nearly three years, my heart still beats fast because of his every move.
When the others heard Mu Jinghua's answer, they all cheered excitedly, but Xu Shu was no longer interested in anything else.
He looked at Mu Jinghua's slightly lowered eyes, and saw the moonlight at noon falling on his long eyelashes, casting a small piece of light and shadow, and suddenly his heart was moved.
When is it?
He couldn't help but wonder, when did he realize that he had to have Mu Jinghua?
He couldn't think of a definite answer, as if love was such a mysterious thing, you never know when the boiling dopamine in your body will reach its peak.
Just like you never know what's going to happen next.
Yes, he didn't know.
When Xu Shu heard the howling of wild wolves in the mountains, he already felt something was wrong.
Even though there are few signs of development on the mountain and there are many wild animals, wolves are mostly nocturnal creatures and rarely appear during the day.
Xu Shu felt something was wrong and immediately ordered everyone to stay away from that direction. They were only here to find raw materials and there was no need to cause casualties.
But sometimes things are just so strange. Xu Shu ordered everyone to avoid places where wild wolves might appear, but they happened to turn to another dangerous area.
You can see traces of human activities from afar, and just by judging from the footprints, you can tell that there are quite a few people on the other side.
There are not only people, but also horses.
even……
Looking at the wheel tracks on the mountain, Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh at the tenacity of the ancients' "Yugong moving the mountains".
It is said that Yuzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but... there really are people who brought their troops to climb the wild mountains to Yuzhou.
He is a ruthless person.
Xu Shu sighed, signaled the craftsmen to return the same way they came, and selected two agile soldiers to follow and investigate the situation.
Before leaving, Mu Jinghua grabbed his sleeve.
Xu Shu immediately comforted him: "I'm just checking the situation. I won't confront you head-on."
Mu Jinghua frowned and nodded, but took out a bamboo whistle from his arms and handed it to Xu Shu: "There is danger, blow it."
Xu Shu didn't take it seriously, but seeing Mu Jinghua's insistence, he nodded and accepted it: "If I'm not back in two days, you take the governor's seal and go find Jiang Yu."
After saying this, he no longer lingered and tiptoed with the soldiers to find out the situation.
However, after getting about a hundred steps closer, Xu Shu saw a large open space, which was formed after artificial logging and the land was very flat.
Looking further away, you can see rows of houses. They are all made of wood. Because they are light, some are even three stories high.
Xu Shu's attention was soon attracted to a flag standing in the middle of the open space. He had good eyesight and could clearly make out the words on it after just a few glances.
It was a "Joe".
It’s Qiao Jianhong again.
Before Xu Shu could figure out how he had built such a large stronghold on the mountain, an arrow was shot at him. He quickly stepped back and only had his sleeve cut by the arrow. But the two men behind him were not as lucky as him. One was injured in the arm, and the other was shot directly in the forehead and died on the spot.
Xu Shu reacted quickly and immediately shouted to the shocked man to run. However, after running only two steps, he was tripped by the rope and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, he felt pain in both feet.
I immediately lost feeling in my feet.
Xu Shu propped himself up and looked back, and saw Qiao Jianhong standing behind him, looking at him with a half-smile: "How are you, Xu Shu?"
Xu Shu's eyes went dark.

Mu Jinghua was frightened when he heard birds flying through the woods.
Fortunately, he has Qu Xiu by his side. Although his senior brother is childish most of the time, he is still very reliable at important moments.
He was the first to notice that someone was following them, and very cleverly chose to pretend not to know.
He quietly moved to Mu Jinghua's side and gestured to him, "Someone is chasing us. We will soon reach the foot of the mountain. They will surely rush out by then. You must remember to run ahead of time."
Qu Xiu had no talent and was terrible at sign language. In addition, Mu Jinghua's voice recovered later, so he stopped reviewing and his signs were a mess.
But Mu Jinghua still understood it.
His face darkened and he gestured back, "What are you going to do?"
Qu Xiu just shook his head, touched his head, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother has thought about this a long time ago."
"It's rare that Xu Shu is not here today, so it's finally my turn, Senior Brother."
Mu Jinghua understood his implication, bit her lip, and her eyes turned red.
Qu Xiu suddenly slapped the horse under him and said, "Run! Don't look back."
The people hiding in the dark rushed out immediately when they saw that something was wrong. Qu Xiu quickly grabbed the axes they brought and rushed over on horseback.
Seeing how desperate he was, those people were stunned for a moment, and then they swung their swords and attacked him.
Because he was riding a horse and took the initiative, Qu Xiu bought Mu Jinghua a lot of time.
But he had not received any training, so he was soon pulled off the horse. Qu Xiu fell to the ground and couldn't help screaming. When he realized that Mu Jinghua hadn't run far, he immediately shouted again: "Don't look back, I'm fine!"
Mu Jinghua paused as he was about to turn back, tears falling from his eyes, but he tightened his grip on the reins and sped up.
The group went there with great joy, but when they came back he was the only one left.
Mu Jinghua rushed to the Xiao residence in a daze. His legs went weak as soon as he got off the horse. He staggered for a moment, took a breath, and then said to the doorman who was rushing towards him in a panic, "Go... go ask Jiang Yu to come over."
-
There was darkness in front of my eyes.
Xu Shu tried to struggle, but his hands and feet had lost all feeling. It felt terrible, and even he couldn't help feeling anxious.
He could feel that he was not tied up and was lying flat on the firewood. However, his hands and feet had no feeling and he could not exert any strength. This gave Xu Shu some guesses.
"I cut the tendons in your hands and feet." Qiao Jianhong's voice came from not far away. He had obviously been there the whole time and had keenly noticed Xu Shu's awakening.
Xu Shu's body stiffened, and then he smiled: "Is this what you have achieved in Shiqiao Village for two years?"
He just suddenly realized that establishing a base on the mountain, especially a base of such a large scale, would not be accomplished overnight.
The most likely possibility is that during the two years Qiao Jianhong stayed in Shiqiao Village, he pretended to be down and out, but he planned all this behind the scenes.
It is estimated that Qiao Er and the others were kept in the dark.
"Yuzhou is important to you?" Xu Shu couldn't understand why he said so.
If they really wanted to take over Yuzhou, Qiao Er's 100,000 troops could do it, so why lie in wait for so long?
Moreover, Xu Shu guessed that Qiao Er had no idea that Qiao Jianhong was in Yuzhou.
Qiao Jianhong hummed, his voice was very light, and his words were very incomprehensible: "The people here treat him very badly."
Xu Shu raised an eyebrow: "Him?"
Qiao Jianhong said no more: "I just want to take Mu Jinghua back to Beijing."
"Take him back to Beijing and let him become Mu Tonghai's pawn? Is there really nothing wrong with your brain?" Thinking of the plot revealed by Qiao Wan, Xu Shu felt extremely angry.
"Qiao Wan told you." Qiao Jianhong smiled, "This world is not like what she wrote in the book."
Xu Shu was stunned.
