Chapter 411, Night Attack
Situ Xichen was lying in the room arranged for him by Zhang Yiming, the night was getting deeper, but he had no intention of sleeping, after reviewing a series of things that happened today, although he felt that everything had been solved perfectly, but he always felt that something was not right.
"Zhang Yiming, Ming Gu, the boy who stole things, the housekeeper ......"
He sorted out all the things that happened today in his mind, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly sat up in shock, and said in a lost voice:
"The man who stalked him!"
He finally thought of what was wrong, the guy who had been following him and Ming Xi'er!
Situ Xichen thought from the beginning that that person was sent by Minggu, but since he had already left a message for the stalker, even if he had said everything, but at dinner today, Minggu didn't say a word about this matter, even if this kind of thing is difficult to talk about, Minggu will at least intentionally or unintentionally euphemistically reveal some attitudes about this matter related to him, but he didn't say anything, in other words, he didn't know about the existence of this person at all, and he didn't know that someone was following them!
"Miscalculated, that guy is not from Minggu!"
Situ Xichen patted his head, with a look of annoyance, he should have thought of this anomaly a long time ago, but his brain was paralyzed because of the relatively relaxed environment in the Ming Mansion.
He hurriedly turned over, subconsciously wanted to go out, but suddenly thought of something, and immediately stretched out his hand, and suddenly squeezed out a small purple flame from his hand, and then put it on the bed, and wrapped it carefully and carefully with divine power.
This is also a skill that he extended from one of the divine arts, and it is almost exactly the same as the tinder from the point of view of manufacturing, so it can also be said to be another way to use the tinder, but the difference is that this kind of fire does not have the characteristic of exploding, its characteristic is that it can continuously and steadily radiate divine power outward, which looks like a very chicken ability, but it can be disguised as the illusion that he is still here.
The Ming Mansion is heavily guarded, even at night, there are often army patrols, it is definitely not okay to do eye-catching things at such a time, with his ability to hide his divine power, he is not afraid of being discovered by someone when he acts, and the most afraid is that someone will notice that he is not in his room, so as long as he can return to his room before the fire consumes the last divine power, it will still be safe, at least the possibility of being found will be very small.
After placing the tinder, Situ Xichen took out a large number of black ore rings from the space crystal, and put all of them on his arm, this is the divine jade he brought out from the little demon domain, it has the effect of suppressing the overflow of divine power, naturally you can't wear this kind of thing when fighting, but just to hide your aura fluctuations, that divine Xuanyu is undoubtedly the best choice.
Situ Xichen chose a set of pure black clothes, then covered his face with a hat, grabbed the edge of the room with a slight jump, and with a slight force of his arm, the whole person climbed onto the roof like an ape, he lowered his body and moved forward quickly along the ridge.
This area is an area where houses are more concentrated, which is just right for Situ Xichen to move at a high place, and he has encountered many night patrols by the Ming army along the way, but he has also successfully avoided it with his superb concealment skills.
Situ Xichen didn't feel anything when he moved freely during the day, but now when he moved at night, he felt that this Ming Mansion was too big, and he couldn't run wantonly, but he walked alive for more than half an hour where he could walk in a few minutes, during which he jumped on the wrong roof and almost got lost.
But what is more difficult is the road behind, the place where Ming Xi'er lives is still some distance from the densely populated area, and this important place guard is naturally more watertight, and the matter of his infiltration becomes complicated.
Situ Xichen found a rockery to hide, and then carefully observed the time difference between each patrol army changing guards, and stared at it for more than ten minutes before he really mastered the patrol process here - the black-armored guards passed here about every six minutes, which took about thirty-five seconds, and the silver-armored guards passed by here about once every three minutes, which took about twenty seconds, and the way the time was staggered was perfect, and the result was that there must be someone in Ming Xi'er's residence about every seventy seconds, In other words, if he wants to sneak in, he can only buy this minute or so, otherwise he will be discovered.
What's even worse is that there are guards guarding the entrance of the road that must be passed by Ming Xi'er's residence, and the time of the changing of the guard is uncertain, and if you give up the wooden path, you can only break through from the lake, but there are still fierce beasts in that artificial lake, among which there is a spirit beast called "Tooth Shark" He has seen the introduction in the "World Spirit Beast List", it is a species that is nocturnal and nocturnal, although it is not a threat to him, but when he is found by the mammoto shark, there will definitely be movement, and it is difficult not to be found at that time.
In fact, as long as he knows how often the guards at the entrance change their guards, there is no problem, but he doesn't have this time now, if he didn't guess wrong, the reason why Ming Gu invited Ming Xi'er to close bodyguards at this time is because he has already sensed that the danger will occur in the near future, and Ming Xi'er may still be a very important part of it, and taking advantage of the time period when he has just come to grasp the situation of the Ming Mansion is the best opportunity to do it, Otherwise, when he realizes that something is wrong, he may be wary of himself and will not have a chance to start, so if you calculate the time, tonight is the best time!
"Bastard, if you really feel that your daughter is in danger, you will guard it yourself! What's the point of getting me here! ”
Situ Xichen was anxious at this time, in fact, there was no need for him to be nervous like this because of a little girl who had only known him for a day, but according to his character, even if he knew that this person had nothing to do with him, it would be difficult for him to stand still, not to mention that it was his student! Only when you really become a teacher can you know what is going on, a man's sense of responsibility......
"Forget it, I don't care so much."
Situ Xichen gritted his teeth, just stuck the time in the gap of patrolling, and the whole person suddenly sneaked around like a ghost, and almost came to his back at the time when the soldiers at the entrance couldn't react, and then suddenly stretched out a finger and gently tapped it on his neck.
"I'm sorry, but I can only ask you to sleep for a while."
He hurriedly picked up the soldier, and then quickly led him to the back side of the attic of Ming Xi'er's residence, and draped his clothes on his body, after all, the matter of "no guard" is much more difficult to find than the matter of "the guard fainted", if he guessed correctly, it must be a great achievement, such a trivial matter Ming Gu will not be counted, even if he guesses wrong, he just finds an excuse to blame him from now on, and never drip this troubled water again.
Situ Xichen bypassed the attic, this position was already out of the sight of the patrol soldiers, as long as he didn't move very much, he wouldn't be discovered, but when he came to the door, his heart suddenly "clicked" and sank to the bottom of the valley - the door was open.
"Damn, what are those guards for?"
Situ Xichen was even more anxious in his heart, and almost scolded what he was thinking, and for a while he didn't think about whether he would be discovered by the patrolling soldiers, and he didn't think about it, and he suddenly took three steps and two steps and hurriedly ran up the stairs, he remembered that Ming Xi'er's room was on the second floor of the attic.
When he came to the door of the floor, Situ Xichen immediately slowed down, and then hid behind the railing, just in time to see a person in a black night robe rummaging around the house, but it seemed that he had been rummaging for a long time and couldn't find what he was looking for, and finally focused on the sleeping Ming Xi'er.
"Forget about stealing, why do you want to forcibly molest me!"
Situ Xichen finally couldn't help it, thinking that this guy must belong to the kind of obscene and wilted kind, if Ming Xi'er was stripped of his clothes by this kind of guy, it would be better to do it himself...... Uh, it's far away.
Although he was anxious now, he was still able to calm down immediately, and took out the hypnotic smoke from the space crystal, and as soon as he came up, it was directly "No. 5", he smelled a trace of danger on this person's body, if it was an ordinary hypnotic smoke, I am afraid it would really have no effect.
He took a deep breath and let the cigarette in his mouth slowly spread into the room, but for the first time, he had done a fool of himself in hypnosis.
The people in the room moved their noses slightly, and immediately smelled that the air was not right, so they quickly held their breath and turned around, took a few steps back, and said in a low voice to the door:
"Who?!"
Situ Xichen saw that he couldn't hide it, so he had no choice but to come out and sneered:
"If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, come to a teenage girl's room and take off a girl's clothes, you are a pervert!"
As soon as he appeared, after seeing this person's face, he was stunned, and the man was also stunned, and after two seconds of silence with each other, he said in unison:
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
The one who came to Ming Xi'er's boudoir in the middle of the night was not Liu Ziyi, who had only met at night!
"You really deserve to say to your thief eyebrows, what are you here for!"
Seeing that his deeds were revealed, Liu Ziyi was not in a hurry, but took his hat down and sneered:
"What am I here for? I'm going to ask you, the third watch came to my lady's boudoir in the middle of the night, did you have any misdeeds! ”
"I'll go, big brother, do you come first and come later? Are you embarrassed to say this kind of nonsense that reverses black and white? I don't even know how to spit on your slot! ”
Situ Xichen looked helpless, he had seen shameless, but he had never seen such a shameless one, this was almost beyond the level of "reversing black and white", it was just talking nonsense with his eyes open!
He stepped forward, blocked the intersection of the stairs, and said with a smile:
"Old bastard, are you just going to be caught obediently, or are you waiting for me to shout and call all the guards of the Ming Mansion over and give them a live broadcast?"
"You!"
Liu Ziyi showed a panicked look on his face, and just when Situ Xichen relaxed his vigilance a little, he actually punched the window next to him, and then directly broke the window and escaped from the attic!
"Old thing, want to run!?"
Situ Xichen's eyes froze, and without thinking about it, he jumped out of the window and followed, he used his divine power to probe it just now, there was nothing wrong with Ming Xi'er, but the effect of his hypnotic smoke was a little too violent, and she probably wouldn't wake up tonight no matter how loud the sound outside.
The sound of Liu Ziyi opening the window with a punch immediately attracted the troops who were patrolling below, and as soon as they heard the sound, they hurriedly came, and happened to meet Liu Ziyi's back when he left, and Situ Xichen, who had just rushed out behind, saw them and hurriedly said:
"Someone has assassinated, quickly call the army to search!"
After saying this, Situ Xichen didn't care whether they listened to his orders or not, and rushed directly to the direction where Liu Ziyi left.
These guards below are dumbfounded, stabbing them? In Mingfu? They don't dare to think of this kind of thing, but they also know the person who came out later, it is the person who their master invited to be a teacher for Ming Xi'er, they may not be able to do it if someone else's words are not good, but this person's words still have some weight, not to mention that there is a person who broke out of the young lady's boudoir in a panic, and they are also obvious to all.
"What are you doing? Go ahead! ”
Seeing that all these people under his command were stunned and did not take action, the leader of the team suddenly became angry and shouted at them, and those guards heard the leader's speech, how dare they not act, and immediately scattered to find the assassin.
