A light mist covered the cold night.

Just after the third watch, the candles inside and outside the city have been extinguished, and the patrols of various squares are also checking around.

In the dead of night, a black shadow passed silently over the beams of the house, without a trace of waves.

Yan Xuewu kept vigil today and stood alone on the lookout platform.

He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, standing all night is nothing to him, but he often feels uncomfortable, very restrained, and he doesn't want to stay in the capital several times, even if he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but thinking of Alan and Han'er, a wife and a son, he is most concerned about them now, for them, for his family, he must save his life.

Ah Lan is the daughter of the Tang family, and the family does not tolerate it, if he abandons her, there will be no one to protect her.

The cold air of the night in early spring was still slightly heavy, Yan Xuewu got up and moved his muscles and bones, and the moment he looked down, he saw a black shadow passing by, almost subconsciously, he flew straight down with his arms outstretched, and followed closely with the eaves.

Walking on the beams of the house at this hour will not be good.

Yan Xuewu's kung fu is really useless to be a small official in the capital, and there is no use. has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he is almost habitual to keep up.

Seeing that he was about to catch up, the figure of the black-clothed man in front of him was hidden, and Yan Xuewu also jumped off the high wall, and just arrived in the alley, he was reaching out and grabbing a person.

A low exclamation.

With slender arms and a familiar face, Yan Xuewu hurriedly let go.

"Alan, is that you?"

"Ah, Wu ......" Tang Lan said with a snort, "I, I was about to look for you, why are you here?"

"I just chased a man in black, did you see that?"

Tang Lan shook his head, "No, I just came in and didn't see anyone." ”

White frost dyed her eyebrows, like snow and jade, Yan Xuewu stared at her side face, with a touch of tenderness between his expressions, "It's late at night, go back to sleep." ”

"I'm not sleepy, I've been eating and sleeping with Han'er for the past two days, sleeping and eating, and I can't do anything. You are usually not there, you all go back to the city, and you don't have time to say a few words to you, Han'er also returned to the city today, and I am left alone. ”

Tang Lan now lives in the courtyard in the south wing of the city, and Yan Xuewu lives in the Taifu Mansion.

If it weren't for Hanyu's persuasion on the side, I'm afraid Tang Lan wouldn't even want to live in another courtyard.

"I'll be back early tomorrow morning. ”

Tang Lan replied in a low voice, and reluctantly looked back twice.

Yan Xuewu strode forward, his face just came to her, and he suddenly stood still, startled, "Oh no!"

Tang Lan looked a little unhappy, "What's wrong?"

"Ah Lan, go back quickly, don't let people find out, there seems to be an accident over there!"

Yan Xuewu hurriedly explained, and left with his body.

The fire was pervasive, and the noise and shouting had reached a hundred paces away.

Yan Xuewu realized that he was put on a plan, what a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!

At that time, Yan Hanyu was awakened from his slumber.

"What's wrong?" she asked, really sleepy, with her eyes closed.

"Lin Xiaoliu is outside. ”

Yan Hanyu opened his eyes, and it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't tell the difference in the dark.

"Did you say anything?"

Ping An shook his head, "Little Sixth Master Lin only said that you would get up and go out if you want." ”

Yan Hanyu closed his eyes and was about to continue sleeping, but another spirit suddenly woke up, sat up and added clothes.

"What time is it?"

"It's past time, miss. ”

Lin Husheng stood outside her small courtyard, saw her come out, and stepped forward.

"What do you do if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

"I went to bed early, but I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep and walked around, guess what I saw?"

Yan Hanyu's eyes raised, her dark pupils looked at her, Lin Husheng saw that she didn't have any energy, no longer went around in circles, leaned over and whispered, "Your Taifu Mansion third watch went out in the middle of the night, flew the eaves and walked the wall, out of the inner city, such a high city wall flew over, the kung fu was excellent, I chased all the way very hard, in the end, the kung fu is not good, I fall behind, and I can't climb the city wall." ”

After listening to him, Yan Hanyu still looked at him with dark eyes.

"Is this too surprised? Or what kind of expression!" Lin Husheng always felt that this little niece's expression was too indifferent, even if she was shocked, so she could give him a response, and don't let him chase after him in vain.

"From which direction?"

Looking up, Lin Husheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the void, "Over there." ”

Following the direction of his finger, Yan Hanyu looked over.

The scene was black and dark, and nothing could be seen, but Yan Hanyu knew that the location that the little uncle was referring to was in the northwest corner, where was Yuyin Courtyard.

It was the dead of night, and even the slightest sound could be heard in the silence of the night.

Yan Hanyu raised her eyes and looked at it, and the memories of the past suddenly appeared in Yan Hanyu's mind, she waved away and said in a low voice, "Let's go and see together, don't light the lamp, and don't make a sound." ”

Some things, if not today, will be revealed one day.

Grandfather can make two or three moves, and her father also knows a little about martial arts, so it turns out that only the second uncle in this house does not know martial arts at all.

She still underestimated the third uncle in the end.

I heard my grandfather say that the third uncle followed his father and second uncle to school since he was a child, although he was not outstanding, but he was finally literate and hyphenated, and read several books. served as Kaifeng Shaoyin, or because the Yan family was honored, and he won the honor.

Although the third uncle was well-known during his tenure, he had his own set of confession methods for the prisoners who were arraigned, and I heard that none of the traitors caught in Kaifeng Mansion could escape the torture he set, even Kaifeng Yin had to give him three points of thin noodles.

gloomy and silent, forbearance and not hair, the third uncle has been able to hide for many years without being known about his martial arts, and how many secrets are still hidden?

The dark night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars.

A black shadow fell silently, and just as he stood still, he heard a low voice coming from the darkness.

"Third uncle. ”

The figure of the black shadow froze, and when he turned his head, he saw a white figure standing out from behind the eaves pillar, dressed in moon white, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

Silence.

The dark shadow revealed only a pair of dark eyes, flickering and flickering.

The Wang family in the south of the city caught fire, and the imperial physician Wang and his wife were killed in the fire.

And Imperial Physician Wang's house was within the sight of Yan Xuewu's watchtower, and it was his dereliction of duty that he failed to deliver the news in time, causing the fire to spread and almost affect the surrounding area.

After the fire was extinguished, the palace was already in shambles, and the surviving servants of the Wang family wailed all night guarding a surviving little master.

The catchers on the lookout tower took turns to be on duty, day and night, and did not avoid the wind and rain. Yan Xuewu was on duty last night, and was beaten with ten sticks by the rod for leaving his post without permission, and limped back to Taifu's mansion afterwards.

The Yamen took over the investigation of the cause of the fire in the Wang family. (To be continued.) )
