Chapter 148: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts

Qin Chuan was squatting on the ground, tiptoeing around, and when he heard Meng Qing speaking behind him, he secretly thought that something was wrong. I thought that he had been scared stupidly, and he couldn't set off any wind and waves, but with a voice in the back, he immediately pushed Qin Chuan into a desperate situation.

For a while, dozens of torches were raised in the Meng Mansion, and more and more people gathered from the gate to the hall, and some of the extinguished rooms also began to light up with candles, and many people ran towards Meng Qing, listening to the footsteps There were about dozens of people, it seems that the Meng Mansion must have been broken into before, so it reacted quickly and was on abnormal alert.

With the light of the torches, Qin Chuan carefully saw the situation in the courtyard of the Meng Mansion. At this moment, he is hiding behind the rockery and flowing water, next to the plane tree leaning against the courtyard wall, the high courtyard wall is about one and a half feet, if you climb out from here, it will be a little difficult for a while. On the other side near the back kitchen, it is only one zhang high, as long as Qin Chuan is given some time, he will definitely be able to escape. It's just that now that the Meng Mansion is bright, there are already a lot of figures standing on the side of the back kitchen, looking at the big knife in his hand, Qin Chuan has no score in his heart.

Besides, there are still a few people who have already drawn the bowstring and are looking for assassins, if Qin Chuan goes out rashly, I am afraid that he will have a few arrows in his back, not to mention that there may be crossbow archers in ambush in the dark, so many people work together, even if Qin Chuan has entered the realm of synaesthesia, but he has never reached the point of being invulnerable, so Qin Chuan is looking for an opportunity to see if he can take advantage of the unpreparedness to go out again.

At this time, several figures rushed to Meng Qing's room from their respective residences, Qin Chuan could see clearly in the darkness that it was the old man Meng of the Meng Mansion, as well as Zhong Yang, Steward Sun and others, and before they could react, Meng Qing's screaming voice like killing a pig was heard: "Grandpa, your son almost died." ”

Master Meng lit the candle, and as a bright hall projected, the pig-killing shout became louder and louder: "Grandpa, that villain grabbed my neck and asked me to hand over the questions of the spring exam of Bailu Academy, how can I have such a thing." I didn't know that he was getting more and more anxious, and he wanted to strangle me, but in desperation, the child pretended to be dead to escape. Although Meng Qing's face was full of snot, he was still very clever, and he didn't want the people present to know that he had the exam questions for the spring exam of Bailu Academy, otherwise he would be listened to by those who had a heart, and the other villains would definitely come again. However, being scared like this by Qin Chuan, Meng Qing's alcohol woke up a lot.

Zhong Yang covered his nose, looked at the filth on the ground, and even looked at Meng Qing pulling his crotch, and asked helplessly: "Brother Meng, can you see the appearance of that villain clearly." According to your Meng family's status in Qingzhou City, if you can recognize this person, it will not be difficult to find him. ”

Meng Qing was unkempt, and he couldn't care about wiping off the filth on his body and cried: "Brother Zhong, that villain has extinguished the candle and is still wearing a night clothes, where can I see it clearly." But as soon as he came out of this window, I called for help, maybe this person is still in the courtyard. ”

Hearing this, Master Meng whispered to Steward Sun: "Pass my word, the guards and subordinates of the Meng Mansion will search carefully, and if this person is found, I will reward him with a heavy reward for one year." If you are killed by that gangster, the whole family will be taken care of by me Meng Kai. ”

Steward Sun saluted everyone in the room, and then said to the housekeeper of the nursing home what Master Meng meant, and the people in the field were chattering, all coveting the year's money. What's more, there were so many people in the field, they didn't believe that they would be injured, so for a while, the torches gradually increased, and they ran towards all parts of the courtyard.

Qin Chuan hid behind the rockery, just covering his body, he didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere at this time, but he watched a person walking towards this place with a torch, if he walked a few steps further, his whereabouts would definitely be exposed, and he took advantage of the archers and crossbow archers to search around, it seems that he can only strike first and get into the courtyard wall first, otherwise it will be difficult to get out after being surrounded by everyone.

Seeing that person getting closer and closer, Qin Chuan gathered the aura of heaven and earth in the palm of his hand and estimated the strength, although Meng Kai and the others did evil, these subordinates also made a lot of efforts, but Qin Chuan didn't want to make trouble at will, after all, there were some roads that they couldn't choose.

There are only five steps left! It can be seen that the man's face has a lot of freckles under the light of the torch, he is only about twenty years old, and there is a smell of oil smoke on his body, and he is wearing an ordinary cloth coat, and there are a lot of oil stains on it.

There were only three steps left! Qin Chuan had already felt his heart beating unusually fast, and he seemed to be a little worried that the gangster was still here tonight! But he still mustered up the courage to walk forward, Qin Chuan could already smell the sauce on his body!

There is only one step left, Qin Chuan can't sit still!

I saw that the man walked into the rockery with a torch, and suddenly saw that Qin Chuan was a little frightened, and suddenly turned into joy again, and was about to open his mouth to shout, Qin Chuan rushed out of his hand, slashed his neck with a palm as a knife, and fainted before he could react, and the torch in his hand also fell to the ground.

Qin Chuan was stable and orderly, and kicked the torch that was about to fall on the ground towards Meng Qing's room, the kraft paper window immediately opened, and Meng Kai and the others who were still in the room immediately ran out, and Meng Qing, who was still weak and weak before, bounced up from the bed and ran ahead, without the slightest sign of injury.

"Come on, put out the fire!" Master Meng saw that the window was on fire, and immediately shouted: "Leave some people to continue the search, this gangster must still be in the courtyard, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will find out for me." I don't believe that there is such a large courtyard, and so many people have not been able to find him. Murder and arson, hum, if you can't wait for Qingzhou City to be arrested, I will let you crush your bones and scatter ashes. ”

At this time, a nurse ran over, pointed to the rockery and whispered, Master Meng nodded, only to see dozens of people holding torches towards the rockery, the steps were very slow, the steps were very light, everyone's faces were solemn, but the big knife in their hands was very tight.

With the order of the guard, more than a dozen torches rushed towards the side of the rockery, and everyone took large knives and prepared to slash at the assassin, but they found a man lying behind the rockery, and no one else. A guard recognized him as the servant who helped in the back kitchen, and looked at him unconscious, as if he had been knocked unconscious.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed from the side of the hall, looking at the speed, not even the nearest guard reacted, but Meng Qing shouted over there: "Over there! Over there! What are you doing in a daze!"

It turned out that when Qin Chuan kicked the torch to the window, he sneaked into the hall while everyone was preparing to put out the fire, the courtyard wall over there was a little shorter, as long as Qin Chuan was given a moment of respite, he would definitely be able to climb to the eaves, and when the time came, he would definitely be able to jump along the eaves to the street, and escape under the cover of night.

But before Qin Chuan could start, a crossbow arrow followed behind, and Qin Chuan seemed to be able to feel the coolness behind him.

Kicking towards the wall in front of him, Qin Chuan turned over in the air and walked to the side with the sandalwood, and everyone held torches, as if they were hunting in the primeval jungle, as if Qin Chuan was just a prey that could be captured.

Zhong Yang stood next to Qian Ziqi and asked quietly, "But this person?"

Qian Ziqi nodded, and his face was a little pale under the light of the torch: "When I was on the eaves tile before, I heard his movements, I thought it was a gangster passing by who came to seek wealth, but I didn't know that it was for the spring test of Bailu Academy, it seems that the hearts of scholars are also not clean, and they would rather take risks than try." ”

Zhong Yang said with a smile: "You are also a scholar, but you can't be light-hearted." ”

Qian Ziqi opened the fan and said with a smile: "I'm not a reader, I just hold books and pretend to be elegant." And I have already passed the spring exam in Ningzhou, and I am not far from the capital exam. In addition, a friend who has been friends for decades begged me that a little girl came to Qingzhou City to participate in the spring examination of Bailu Academy, and asked me to take it back, of course, if you die!"

Zhong Yang put his hands behind his back and said to Qian Ziqi: "If necessary, you can help a little, so that Xu Huang can see your ability, so that my things will be much easier." A big fist is the truth. Are you right? ”

Qian Ziqi bowed his head and said nothing, but he put the fan away and looked at Qin Chuan with a solemn face.
