Chapter 18: The Yellow Sparrow Follows

Du Yan watched a big drama in the dark, and secretly said that Rao was like a ghost in the Zhan family, or he was in the way of others. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info didn't know where the poison was hidden, and he couldn't figure it out after looking at it for a long time.

Wu Ye looked at the corpse of the Zhan family brother, shook his head and sighed softly: "People die for money, and birds die for food." In the next life, I will make a good living and make a safe and stable living, and maybe I can live longer. ”

Picked up the silver chopstick used by one of the Zhan brothers, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and buckled the top of one of them a few times, and there was a small lid on it, and after opening it, Wu Ye turned the silver chopstick upside down and knocked it a few times in the palm of his hand.

Du Yan saw a little powdery thing falling out of his palm, and it suddenly dawned on him, thinking that the silver chopstick must be hollow, with an inconspicuous hole at the top, and the medicinal powder was contained in it. When eating, the soup seeps into the holes, melts the powder inside, and then flows down the holes into the dish, which naturally carries poison.

These chopsticks are so exquisitely designed that it's hard to spot the mystery without looking closely.

Although the Zhan brothers only ate the dishes that Shizi had sandwiched, they didn't notice that Shizi stopped using chopsticks after tasting each dish once.

The dish was originally non-toxic, but the Zhanjia brothers became poisonous after using it.

Du Yan couldn't help sweating in his palms, and secretly said that when he encountered such a situation, he was afraid that he would also be on the road.

He went out of the room and looked down at the fence, the prince was walking all the way to the depths of the house, the wind blew his robe, and his posture was fluttering, as if he was the son of the turbid world, but there was a strange belly hidden under this splendid jade face.

What Wu Ye gave to the prince just now is the slanting moon scimitar. When the prince gets the sword, he will be in a hurry to study it.

The secret was about to be revealed, Du Yan hurriedly jumped downstairs and chased after Shizi. Seeing Shizi enter a courtyard, Du Yan glanced at it, and thought that the largest room in it must be the residence of Shizi. Quickly went around the back, jumped into the courtyard wall, and slipped through the window into the room.

No sooner had he closed the window than he saw a light approaching the door. With the faint light outside the door, Du Yan hurriedly took a closer look at the room, and saw that there was a rosewood hollow carved partition in the room, dividing the three connected rooms into one large and one small. He was in a small room, which looked like a bathroom.

Du Yan hurriedly ran over and hid behind the light veil hanging on the fan.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and several people walked in, lighting the lamps and candles in the room one by one.

He didn't dare to look in, only to hear Shizi ordering everyone to go out, and then there was the sound of footsteps, the sound of pulling out chairs, and Shao Tian was completely silent.

Du Yan poked his head out from behind the fan, only to see the silhouette of the prince sitting on the chair, and it was the slanting moon scimitar that was turning over and over in his hand.

Du Yan saw that he carefully examined the scimitar, as if he was looking for something. After a long time, he turned sideways, pulled a hair on his head, pointed the blade of the scimitar upward, and then put the hair on the blade, and blew lightly, the hair was suddenly cut in two, and flew to the ground lightly.

Shizi muttered: "What a blow!" ”

Du Yan gasped, he didn't expect this small inconspicuous scimitar to be so sharp.

He was surprised, and his breath became a little heavier. The prince immediately noticed, closed the scimitar with a "choking", and shouted: "Who? ”

Du Yan didn't expect this prince of Wu to be so vigilant and didn't dare to stay.

Wrapped in the idea that the thief will not go empty, he stepped out with an arrow step, and the two fingers of the left hand were stretched out to make a hook, and he took the eyes of the son. Shizi hurriedly stretched out his arm to block, and scolded in his mouth: "Thief, you dare!" ”。 Du Yan's other hand quietly reached out, snatched the scimitar, put it in his arms and turned to leave.

Here, the prince of Wu Wang shouted: "Come on, there are assassins!" ”

As soon as Du Yan jumped out of the back window and climbed over the wall, a guard heard the sound and came head-on. The man in front of him was tall and had a broad back, and just by looking at his figure, he could feel the strength of his whole body.

He rushed over to block Du Yan's way, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them had already made a few moves.

Du Yan was shocked in his heart, there was still such a master in the prince's mansion! He knew that he was not an opponent, and there were a steady stream of pursuers coming after him, so he didn't dare to fight, and he was about to flee, but the man had already seen through his plan, ignored his false moves, and went straight to the middle, and hit him with a palm with a thunderous wind.

Du Yan couldn't dodge, he struggled to receive this palm, kicked the ground under his feet, followed the force of this palm, his body quickly swept back, ran to the tree a few times, jumped at the top of the tree, and quickly left the Shizi's Mansion.

Although that person's kung fu is good, his body is clumsy, and when it comes to light body kung fu, he is far behind Du Yan.

Du Yan didn't dare to go back to the inn directly, his feet didn't stop, and he ran in the opposite direction. Along the way, he jumped on the wall to avoid Wuhou patrolling the street, and then simply went to the roof and stood on a high place, and he could see groups of people on the street, lighting torches to find him.

He didn't dare to stop for a moment, and ran all the way to the south of the city. In the distance, I saw a house in the southwest that was brightly lit, especially conspicuous in the dark night. Du Yan stepped on the roof tile and jumped to the roof of the house, and when he looked out, it was Shengge Yan Dance, soft red and fragrant, but it was a brothel.

Du Yan's heart moved, took off his night clothes, took off the black cloth covering his head and face, and put it on the roof of the brothel. Then I went around half of Huaizhou City and returned to the inn, went through the window and entered the house, only to cough a few times while covering my chest, and muttered: "It hurts Lao Tzu to death." ”

Knowing that the people of the world would search for this place sooner or later, they didn't care about the pain in their chests, so they took out all kinds of places in their luggage, a few human skin masks, and a few bottles of medicine in the not very bright moonlight outside the window, and looked around to see if there was no place to hide. I remember that when I first entered the inn during the day, I saw a large poplar tree in the courtyard, and there was a bird's nest among the branches.

Simply wrapped these things in cloth with the slanting moon scimitar, gently pushed the door out, and saw that there was no movement around. He flew up the tree, and a large bird flew out of the nest, chirping and pecking at his hand. Du Yan ignored it, he took out the two chicks in the nest, put the cloth bag in it, and then put the chicks on the cloth bag and flew down the tree. When the big bird saw that he was gone, he stopped crying.

Du Yan returned to the room, opened the futon, took off his coat and got into the quilt. Not long after I lay down, I heard the sound of slamming the door outside, followed by the sound of scolding, the sound of kicking upstairs, and the sound of doors opening one room after another.

Du Yan got up and lit the lamp, grabbed his hair, looked like he had just woken up, bent his waist, and opened the door. He didn't have to pretend, the pain in his chest was enough to keep him straight.

He seemed to hear the movement and came out to check, which made people feel more innocent than being called to open the door.

Soon, several black-clothed guards found Du Yan's door. Although Du Yan is only in his early fifties, he has been running around for many years, looking older than his peers, plus his waist is rickety, his hair is gray, and at first glance, he is an ordinary thin little old man, how can he have half a master's demeanor of coming and going freely in the heavily guarded Shizi Mansion.

The black-clothed guard asked a few simple questions, searched the room, and found nothing suspicious. When one person found the fat powder used by Du Yan when he was disguised, he looked up at Du Yan and asked, "What are you doing with rouge gouache this old man?" ”

Du Yan had already thought of a countermeasure, and replied with a smile: "Oh, it's hard to go out and bring something to my daughter." ”

Waiting for these guards to go to the next room to check, Du Yan closed the door and couldn't help but sigh. Lying down on the bed again, I thought, look at this momentum, the inventory will only be stricter tomorrow, and it is better to leave early.

The next morning, Du Yan stepped to the gate of the city, and from a distance, it was really very close. Those who entered the city were also returned, and those who left the city were searched one by one to check the items they were carrying. Even the female guests also mobilized the three aunts and six mothers-in-law to search their bodies.

Du Yan secretly complained, and if he continued to investigate with such a momentum, he would find himself sooner or later. But thinking that the prince of the world for such a slanting moon scimitar, he mobilized the people, and did not hesitate to kill people, and now in order to find the scimitar, he tossed such a big battle, if he said that this knife was sharper, there was nothing strange, he didn't believe it anyway.

Such a knife, he brought it useless, just strong, the more you want to go back, I won't give it to you.

What's more, the thing is still in the bird's nest, and in broad daylight, it is difficult for him to climb the tree to take it out, so he can only stay in the city for another day.

The atmosphere in the city was very tense, and teams of street patrol soldiers and silver-armored warriors were checking one by one in the streets and alleys, restaurants and teahouses.

Du Yan still looks like a little old man, wandering around the street in a big way, but no one doubts him.

Seeing that it was evening, he still didn't think of a proper way to get out of the city, so he simply wandered to the gate of the palace to see if he could find any opportunity.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

There was a sudden commotion on the street, and Du Yan looked back and saw two fast horses galloping towards this side in the setting sun.

Immediately, the two knights were dressed in plain white and had filial piety cloth wrapped around their heads. The two of them galloped all the way to the gate of the palace, turned over and dismounted, and without knowing what to say to the guard at the door, they were let in.

Du Yan secretly thought, this is here to report the funeral, and he doesn't know if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. With this in mind, he mingled at a distance among the people, and waited for about two quarters of an hour, but no one came out. Seeing that the curfew was about to fall, I had to go back to the inn.

After being searched again at night, Du Yan went up to the tree in the middle of the night to get the cloth bag. The nestling had pulled bird droppings on the cloth, and he simply took out the contents and left the cloth in the nest.

Looking at the pass in his hand, for the sake of safety, he still felt that it was better to burn a fire, he was afraid that the fire lit up in the middle of the night would attract people, so after thinking about it, he got under the bed, hit the flint, and burned a few passes. The human skin mask was put into the mezzanine of his clothes, and it was light and fluttering, and it would not be associated with a scimitar.

The next day, just after the fifth watch, he got up, tied the slanting moon scimitar firmly to his calf, and wrapped the burden around his back. When I went out, I saw that the waning moon was shining, leaving a faint light, and there were already people who got up early to do small business on the street.
