Chapter 497: A Few Extra Figures
"Who?!" I screamed, looked sideways at the round arch on the right, and saw a palace maid with a lantern in her hand, hurrying towards me, with a bowl of chicken soup in her hand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Merely. The bowl of chicken soup fell to the ground after she screamed.
And then fell to the ground, is the umbrella behind me, I suddenly felt the raindrops above my head, clattering on top of my head, turned my head to see, the umbrella has been thrown to the ground, and there is no figure behind me.
Eh, what about that guy just now? I looked around, but I couldn't find any sign of him.
I asked the palace maid: What was your name just now?
The palace maid's nervous legs were trembling, and she was trembling at the moment. She was almost speechless, and she stood under the round arch, not daring to move.
I picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the ground and walked over, originally wanting to hit the palace maid's head to help her cover the raindrops, but who knew that as soon as I raised the paper umbrella and walked towards her, she was so frightened that she trembled even more, and kept retreating.
"Is there something wrong with this paper umbrella?" I threw away the paper umbrella, walked to the palace maid in the rain, and asked her: What's the matter? You speak slowly.
Because above the round arch, there is also a wall about a foot wide, which can somewhat shelter some wind and rain. It's just that the rain is too heavy at the moment. Standing under a round arch is like standing in the middle of a curtain of rain, which does not play any role at all.
The palace maid trembled and said, "I...... I just ...... I just saw your back......
The palace maid was almost stupid, her eyes widened when she spoke, and she kept staring at my back, and I was a little hairy when I saw it, and I also looked back at my back, but there was nothing.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Come with me."
I took the maid's hand and went into my house, there was a night light in the house, which illuminated the whole room, and the maid was not so scared anymore.
"What the hell just now? You tell me slowly. "I poured two cups of herbal tea and handed one to the palace maid. Flattered, she quickly reached out to catch it, but she didn't drink.
"My lord, just ...... That oil-paper umbrella just now actually floated behind you, above your head, wherever you went. Wherever the oil-paper umbrella floated away, it followed you all the time, and I was almost frightened. When the palace maid said this, she was about to burst into tears, but you can imagine how scared she was.
I was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the oil-paper umbrella thrown in the yard, thinking to myself, wasn't it the servant who told me just now that someone was chasing him to help me hold the umbrella?
The servant walked behind me and helped me hold the umbrella, but how could this palace maid say that the oil-paper umbrella was floating above my head? Wherever I go, the oil-paper umbrella floats there?
Could it be that the palace maid could not see the servant who was hunted down? Or rather, the servant...... Is it a ghost?
A cold sweat immediately broke out on my back, I swallowed and spit, glanced into the yard, and asked: What did you just bring a bowl of chicken soup to me?
She said: That's right, Miss Su Zhen stewed chicken soup and asked me to bring it to you, but I didn't expect that I walked halfway, but I saw this scene, and I didn't dare to go back.
I was stunned for a moment and said, "I'll send someone to send you back."
I definitely can't let this palace maid stay here to rest, even if she is soaking wet, I will not do anything out of line, I have my own principles.
After calling two servants outside and sending the palace maid away, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but what was wrong, I couldn't tell, sitting on the Taishi chair in the room, I lit a candle on the table of the eight immortals, and I kept thinking about what happened just now.
After thinking about it for a long time, I held up my umbrella and went to the courtyard again, to the round arch, because I thought that something was wrong. Macro threw blood in the hall.
First, it's not right to take the bowl served by the woman, the bowl is carved with a dragon and a phoenix, that is the specification that the emperor can use, although our Jinyiwei is a celebrity around the emperor, although he holds the lifeblood of many people, but we don't dare to be so loud and arrogant. So that bowl is definitely not in our Jinyi Wei Palace.
When I walked to the round arch and looked, what puzzled me even more was that the bowl that had just been broken was gone!
Not only are the fragments of the bowl gone, but even the chicken soup that spilled on the ground can't find any traces. At least one or two pieces of chicken, right? Otherwise, how can it be called chicken soup?
But I searched the vicinity of the round arch, and found no sign of it, and I was soaking wet, and I still didn't give up, this was not right, and I had to find out.
I immediately went to look for Su Zhen, and when I arrived at Su Zhen's residence, her maid told me that Su Zhen had already gone to bed.
Damn, I was deceived, everyone I met from beginning to end was not a normal person, maybe a ghost!
The woman in red with a red oil-paper umbrella in the courtyard, the middle-aged merchant sitting on the Taishi's chair in my house counting money, the servant who rushed into the house on a rainy night to ask me for help, and the palace maid who brought me chicken soup, none of these people really lived in the palace of the king of Jinyiwei!
I remembered the black flute with nine holes, and nine wisps of black mist came out of the black flute, so strange things happened around me in the past two days.
Could it be that it was caused by the nine black fogs?
A little worried about Niu Chongyang's safety, I detoured to the room where Niu Chongyang lived at the moment, and the next person hurriedly asked for peace after seeing me, I waved my hand and whispered: No courtesy.
When I walked to Niu Chongyang's bed, I found that he slept very sweetly, and his face slowly became normal, and I was very relieved. When I left Niu Chongyang's residence, I instructed the servant: Good life has taken care of him these days, understand?
The servant nodded, and I said: I am to blame for this, I can't harm him, even if there is any good medicine, even if I order the doctor, if necessary, I will use the relationship of Jinyiwei to find the imperial medicine.
The servant nodded again and escorted me out of the room.
When I returned to my lodgings, I sighed, and without thinking much else, I hung the embroidered spring knife by my bedside and fell asleep.
In my dream, I returned to the 21st century, Wendao Lingyun was killed by me, Ge Yu and the policewoman were alive, Uncle in a suit, we all got together again, very happy, everyone rode a big Harley-Davidson motorcycle, gathered in front of the bar, and had a drink.
Just as I was falling asleep, the door slammed open again.
I woke up directly from my sleep, this time, I was not angry or not so simple, I thought it was still those ghosts to find fault, so, I sighed, directly pulled out the embroidered spring knife at the head of the bed.
Under the reflection of the candlelight, a light swept through the room, shining directly towards the door, and I fixed my eyes to see that this person was Niu Chongyang.
I held back my temper, put down the knife, and asked: Chongyang, why are you rushing in so quickly?
Niu Chongyang said: My lord, I just fell asleep last night, and I heard footsteps on the roof, so I chased him out with a knife, and I chased it all night.
I hummed, and before I could say anything else, my brain was suddenly startled, and at this moment, I immediately grabbed the embroidered spring knife, and rushed to Niu Chongyang's side with a strong arrow, instantly put the blade on his neck, and roared angrily: What did you say? Tell me again!
This reflection made Niu Chongyang startled, and at this moment he knelt on one knee, not knowing what to say, I asked angrily: When did you hear that there was someone on the roof?
Niu Chongyang hurriedly lowered his head and said: Last night, when I just fell asleep, it was just dark.
"So you've just chased that guy back?" I asked, squinting.
Niu Chongyang nodded and said: I and the master in the black cloak have made hundreds of moves in a row, and they hit him hard, but I still let him escape.
If what Niu Chongyang said is true, then who will be the guy lying in Niu Chongyang's room?
Because Niu Chongyang said that he went out after dark and only came back now, and I went to Niu Chongyang's house to see him in the middle of the night.
I gritted my teeth, knowing that something was wrong.
Immediately, I shook the embroidered spring knife in my hand and said in a loud voice: Get up, go to your residence, and leave now!
I didn't take the embroidered spring knife, but kept it on Niu Chongyang's neck, and when I arrived at Niu Chongyang's residence, I was surprised to find that the servant on duty at night had been changed.
I asked the servant: When did you change shifts?
The servant was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: Lord Qianhu, I didn't change shifts tonight, and I have been on duty here all the time.
As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly pulled Niu Chongyang into the house, stared at the bed, and saw that the bed was empty.
"Chongyang, don't look back!" I roared, threw out the embroidered spring knife directly, and stabbed at the shadow refracted on the ground behind Niu Chongyang!
