Volume 1 The Butterfly That Can't Fly Over the Sea Chapter 34 A guest came at night
The former Lu Mansion is now the place where Cangyuwei is stationed.
In the main room where Lu Guanshan likes to read books, Luo Xiangwu sat on a wooden chair with a gloomy expression, and there was silence in the room, only the sound of his fingers hitting the desk was back and forth.
Sun Bojin, who was standing at the door, lowered his head, hunched over, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and since he came back from Wei Lai's old house, this lord had not said a word. He couldn't figure out whether the other party was angry that he was doing something bad, and of course the "culprit" who caused him to do something bad had been sent home by his apprentices earlier. There is a saying that tigers do not eat their children, Sun Bojin's wife died in childbirth, and this martial artist has long injected all his love into his son.
Even if Sun Daren did something bad for him today, Sun Bojin would not really push him to the stage to bear the anger from Cang Yuwei - Lao Tzu should have sheltered the cub from the wind and rain.
"Your Excellency... Today's matter..."Sun Bojin felt that it was not a way to go on like this, so he simply gritted his teeth after thinking slightly, and looked at Luo Xiangwu with a hard head.
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Luo Xiangwu, who was already silent.
"You said that kid was a fool, right?" It was dark, there were no candles lit in the main room, Luo Xiangwu's appearance was hidden in the depths of the darkness, Sun Bojin could not figure out this man's mind from the look on his face, but he felt that his voice was gloomy, like the surging Wupan River at night, and it was difficult to guess whether it was a bigger wave or a calm wind after the surging waves.
Sun Bojin didn't dare to ask more, so he could only lower his head deeper, and answered truthfully: "Since the flood six years ago, he has been stupid and stupid, and he is estimated to be scared stupid." ”
Luo Xiangwu's hand struck the desk beside him again, again and again.
The light sound echoed, like a heavy mallet hitting Sun Bojin's heart.
Suddenly, the voice stopped, Luo Xiangwu stood up, walked to Sun Bojin, and squinted his eyes to look down at the owner of the martial arts hall.
Sun Bojin's head lowered a little deeper: "This is something that the entire Wupan City knows, if you don't believe it, you can ...... it."
Luo Xiangwu's squinted eyes flashed with coldness, and he remembered that just now, when those apprentices from the Guanyun Martial Arts Pavilion rushed up, the boy arched his body. That look was a little indescribable from the strange man in black that night, and Luo Xiangwu had reason to suspect something because of this.
"What everybody knows, isn't necessarily true. Luo Xiangwu said softly, his tone intriguing.
Before Sun Bojin could taste and understand the meaning of Luo Xiangwu's words, Luo Xiangwu's voice sounded again.
"Liang Guan, try him tonight. Luo Xiangwu turned his head to look at a soldier in his early twenties behind him, and said this.
When the armorer heard this, he nodded heavily and responded, "Yes!"
......
"I'm scared to death of the old man, that little lady is really fierce. Closing the courtyard door, Liu Zhijie patted his chest with palpitations and said.
Wei Lai glanced at the old man, in the end, it was he who was not inferior to him, and it was a blessing that the woman glared at her and didn't make a move. With such a crowd of people from all parties pouring into Wupan City, the already chaotic Wupan City may become more and more undercurrent, and the Zhao family can make the decision to move the clan, and from this point alone, it will be stronger than Sun Bojin.
Of course, Wei Lai just sighed casually about these things, and what really made him care was the gaze that Luo Xiangwu looked at him before he left today.
When he thought of this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart. He understood that he was still too careless, and that seemingly inadvertent action was likely to expose a lot of information in the eyes of a real master. But at this point, regret obviously doesn't solve anything.
Wei Lai walked to his back room with a calm gaze, glanced back at Liu Yujie, who kept talking in his mouth and wanted to keep up with his footsteps.
Liu Jiejie consciously closed his mouth and stopped taking steps.
"Tonight, whatever you hear or see, don't come out, remember?" Wei Lai Zhengse said.
On weekdays, with Liu's temperament, it is inevitable to be cheeky and ask why. But today, perhaps the look on Wei Lai's face was too solemn, and the old man was slightly stunned at that time, then grinned and said, "Okay." ”
......
In order to ensure the normal order in the city, Xue Xinghu and more than 20 of his subordinates were mobilized to patrol every night to ensure that the curfew order made by Luo Xiangwu could be carried out without fail.
Many people in the rivers and lakes who had the intention of taking a piece of the pie in the temple of Guanshan Lance, although they wanted to do something to be the enemy of Cang Yuwei, they still didn't dare to really argue with the orders representing the imperial court. As soon as the sea passed, it was difficult to find any sound in the entire Wupan City, except for the cicadas and frogs chirping on summer nights.
In the Wei family's old house, the lights went out early, and Liu Jiejie's snoring came from the firewood room, resounding back and forth in the dilapidated courtyard.
A black shadow jumped onto the dilapidated roof of the Wei family's old house with thunderous snoring. He is obviously proficient in this way, his jumping body is light, and his steps on the roof are extremely light, although this kind of power control must be related to some specific exercises, but if he is not trained for many years, it is not easy to achieve this step.
It's just that although he did it carefully, he still misestimated the degree of "disrepair" of this mansion after all.
The soft sound of the bell rang out with his figure as he landed on the roof.
One of his feet stepped on the air, and his body was tilted, but fortunately, he was able to do it well, even if the incident happened suddenly, he managed to stabilize his body and not fall in embarrassment. But the sound of the trampled roof and the falling tiles still made the snoring sound of thunder in the courtyard pause.
Dense traces of sweat appeared on the forehead of the black shadow, and the secret said that it was not to startle the snake?
He has been by Luo Xiangwu's side all the year round, but he knows that Luo Xiangwu's mood has not been very good these days, if this little thing is messed up for him, he really doesn't know how to deal with it when he goes back.
He stood motionless in the same place as a golden rooster for a few breaths, until the sound of snoring rose again. The dark shadow breathed a sigh of relief, and the stagnant figure shuttled across the roof again.
He was extremely fast and purposeful, uncovering the roof tiles and looking down for what he was looking for.
The only property that Wei Shou left to Wei Lai was not wealthy, and the entire courtyard was only a few zhang square. At the speed of the dark shadow, it took less than half an hour to search every room in the old house.
The old house was so rudimentary that it was hard to find even a decent object, except for the firewood room where an old man who was snoring like thunder slept, and the dark shadow did not find the person he was looking for.
"Did you go out?" the shadow muttered to himself.
But soon he denied this speculation, since receiving Luo Xiangwu's order, he has been lurking outside this old house, but after seeing Wei Lai settle the courtyard door, he walked into the old house and never came out again.
"Have you lost sight?" thought to the dark shadow again, and simply turned back to the roof where the main house was located - the whole old house was only five or six rooms, and most of them were seen at a glance, but this main house was much larger, and it was possible to look too hastily and ignore something.
Thinking of this, the black shadow who came to the top of the roof stretched out his hand and carefully uncovered the tiles that had just been put down, and in order to be able to check it clearly this time, he deliberately leaned down, put his face in front of the gap, and looked carefully into the house.
The main room was still pitch black, and the black shadow's eyesight was excellent, although it was not to the point of seeing as much as day at night, but it could barely see everything inside.
Wooden boxes, bronze mirrors, candlesticks, empty bedding......
Obviously, this is the room where Wei Lai lives, but everything is still there, but there is no trace of Wei Lai.
"Strange, where can he go?" muttered the shadow, trying to prop up his lying body with both hands, but before his head was raised, a chill came from his neck. The shadow's body shook—he knew it was something that could only be felt when some kind of extremely sharp iron was on his neck.
"Are you looking for me?"
And a voice that was colder than a sharp weapon sounded at that moment.
