Chapter 143: Assassin
Coming back from Juxian Building, everyone went back to their rooms to rest after talking for a while, and they had to get up early tomorrow to hurry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Wan washed up and went to bed, picked up the quilt for her, put down the bed tent, hugged the bed cover and lay on the warm kang, and fell asleep after a while.
Li Guan fell asleep and was not sleepy now, so he lay on the bed for a long time without sleep, so he simply put on his clothes and got out of bed.
A small lamp was placed on the small table at the head of the bed as usual, Li Wan looked at Chu Fang, and after making sure that she was asleep, she took the lamp to open the cage in the corner, she remembered that Chu Fang put the words she had seen in the past two days here.
After passing over, I found that the cage had been locked, and I thought it was because after they put away their luggage, they felt that they couldn't use the contents for the time being tomorrow morning, so they locked it.
Li Guan had no choice but to carry the lamp again to get the key.
The key is generally close to the fang, she walked to the side of the kang, in order not to wake up the fang, she put the lamp far away, and then with a slight light, go to the kang head to pick up the fang's coat to touch the key.
Because the light was too dim, she searched for a while to find the key, and when she was so happy, she didn't notice that there was a small stool at her feet, and as soon as she lifted her legs, she kicked it, and the feet of the stool rubbed against the floor, and there was a screeching sound in the silence of the room.
Li Wan hurriedly squatted down and held on to the stool, subconsciously looked at Zhu Fang, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that she was still sleeping deeply.
She moved the stool to the side and prepared to go back to bed, but after taking two steps, something felt wrong.
Chu Fang slept too hard tonight, right?
When they were at home, a few of their maids were out on duty at night, and as soon as she moved a little bigger, they would immediately wake up and ask her if she needed to be served. But just now by the kang, there was such a loud noise, and Chu Fang didn't wake up?
Li Wan felt a very strange feeling in his heart, and walked to the kang with the lamp.
She put the lamp above Chu Fang's head, and in the dim and soft light, Chu Fang's sleeping face was unusually calm.
"Pick Fang?" Li Wan shouted at her and pushed her shoulder.
Chu Fang didn't react, not even a word of advice, if it weren't for her steady breathing, Li Wan would have doubted whether she was still alive.
A sinister chill rushed up from the soles of Li Guan's feet, and she couldn't help but shiver, feeling dense goosebumps on her arms.
She swallowed, clutched the handle tightly, and turned around a little stiffly.
The dim light illuminated the range within three steps of her, and she slowly scanned the surroundings, the various furnishings in the room hidden in the darkness, and there was a strange and unpredictable feeling.
Li Guan's gaze fell on the shadow next to the tall cabinet: "...... Go out...... Come out. She felt her throat run dry, "I know you're there...... Come out......"
Her voice was a little unsteady, but it was calm.
In the silence of the room, a tall figure came out of the darkness and stopped beside the curtain about five paces away from Li Guan.
Li Guan tried his best to contain the horror in his heart, and slowly raised his hand to move the lamp in that direction.
"Is that you?" When the light shone on the man's face, she couldn't help but be surprised.
The other party did not speak, and his dark eyes looked at Li Guan, who was dressed in a white silk shirt.
Knowing who it was, Li Guan's hanging heart gradually fell, and he was much calmer.
She put the lamp on the round table next to her and said softly: "Your Excellency's visit late at night must have some plan, why don't you speak up?" ”
She had a faint feeling in her heart that this person was not malicious, otherwise Chu Fang would already be a cold corpse.
"You're not afraid of me?" The other party's hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, and there was a bit of surprise in his tone.
"I have no grievances with you, I just met in a hurry in the Longxing Martial Arts Hall, why should I be afraid of you?"
The other party was silent.
Li Guan suddenly remembered a question: "How did you get in?" What about the guards of the night watch, what did you do to him? ”
"Don't worry, I just knocked him out."
Li Guan breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, it was difficult to hide the surprise in his eyes.
The guards accompanying him this time are all first-class masters, and this black Jiao can quietly put down the guards and sneak into her room, and has not yet been discovered, it seems that his skills are really extraordinary.
She couldn't help but think of his ruthlessness when he killed the hungry wolf, such a ruthless and martial arts person, what would happen to her?
Li Wan frowned vigilantly, and was about to ask him again about his intention, when an exclamation suddenly came from outside the window: "Brother Lin? What happened to you? ”
It was Wei Ping's voice, and he found out that the guard who had been knocked unconscious by the black Jiao!
Li Guan subconsciously looked at Heijiao, and saw a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, as if he didn't expect him to expose his traces so quickly.
With Wei Ping's exclamation, various voices immediately sounded in the courtyard.
"Brother Wei, what's wrong?"
"Wei Ping, what's going on?"
"Why did Brother Lin faint?"
"There are assassins!"
"Someone, catch the assassin!"
Li Guan looked at Heijiao: "Your whereabouts are exposed, and the guards will come over soon, so let's go." ”
Since Hei Jiao didn't hurt anyone, she was willing to let him go, otherwise when Wei Ping and Zhou Guan found out that he had sneaked into her room in the middle of the night, he would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die.
And the reason why she wanted Hei Jiao to leave before the guards came in was another reason, she didn't want people to know about her and Dong Linzhi's going to the Longxing Martial Arts Hall. The others didn't care, she mainly didn't want Gu Chengyu to be too careful.
Hei Jiao hesitated for a moment when he heard this.
Seeing this, Li Guan warned: "Even if you are skilled, my guards are not dry, and it will be too late if you don't leave." ”
As soon as the words fell, the door was suddenly pushed open: "Miss, are you okay?" ”
Li Wan turned his head and saw that it was a crane look.
She was about to speak, but Hewang had already spotted Heijiao's figure, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he said sharply: "Who are you?" Then, before Heijiao could speak, she shouted, "The assassin is here!" ”
"Crane Wang, don't!"
Li Wan hurriedly spoke to stop him, but Hewang had already flown towards the black Jiao.
As soon as Heijiao fought with her, he was immediately shocked by her neat and sharp palms.
A servant girl has such skills, and when the other guards arrive, he may really not be able to get out.
Heijiao immediately realized that something was wrong, and after two more tricks with Crane Wang, he grabbed the window and went out.
But it was too late, Wei Ping Zhouguan had already led the guards to rush over, just in time to face him.
Seeing this, Crane Wang stopped his hand and ran to Li Guan's side: "Miss, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine." Li Wan nodded at her and looked out the window.
The Black Jiao has engaged the guards.
With more than one enemy, the odds of winning are not high.
Hei Jiao made a decision immediately, and after a few moves, he grabbed a gap and climbed the tree under the eaves to jump onto the roof, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Want to run? It's not that easy! Wei Ping snorted coldly and chased after him without hesitation.
Zhou Guan hesitated slightly, but still followed, and at the same time instructed the other guards: "You stay and protect your masters!" ”
At this time, Gu Chengyu and others also rushed to Li Guan's room.
"Hewang, you take a look at the situation of Chufang first." Li Guan said.
He Wang walked to the side of the kang, raised his hand to probe Fang's snort, and touched her pulse again.
"It's okay, she just fainted, and she will wake up later."
Li Guan's heart was slightly relieved when he heard this.
Knowing that the assassin had infiltrated Li Guan's room, Gu Chengyu and the others were afraid for a while, and the ibis language touched Li Guan from head to toe, and was greatly relieved to make sure that she was safe and sound.
"Who is this Assassin? Why did you sneak into Miss Lee's room? Shi Yue said strangely.
Li Guan didn't say anything, Gu Chengyu said thoughtfully: "Maybe he just stumbled into Guan'er's room by mistake, and he didn't have a heart." ”
Dong Linzhi pouted when he heard this, and said: "What a mistake, I think that kid must be greedy for Guan'er's beauty, and he intends to plot against him!" Otherwise, there are so many rooms here, why did he sneak into this room? ”
The reason why Hei Jiao came to the door was not because he took her to the Longxing Martial Arts Hall to watch the excitement.
Li Wan stared at Dong Linzhi and frowned: "Can you think of something else in your head?" ”
"Am I not right?" Dong Linzhi glared and said, "Except for the flower thief, who would sneak into the girl's room in the middle of the night?" And this person also knocked out Chu Fang, didn't he want to attack you? ”
Is...... Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths!
Li Wan didn't want to pay attention to him, and said to Gu Chengyu: "Brother Gu, if Wei Ping and the others arrest people back later, can you let that assassin go?" He didn't do anything to me anyway, maybe he was just trying to steal some money. ”
"Let's talk about it when we get it back." Gu Chengyu pondered, "If the guards hadn't discovered it in time tonight, you might have encountered an accident." It's better to wait until after the interrogation, know the person's intentions, and then make a decision. ”
Li Wan nodded slightly, she didn't expect him to agree to such a big thing.
I only hope that Hei Jiao's skills are good enough to escape from Wei Ping and Zhou Guan.
When this happened, everyone lost their sleepiness, and simply stayed in Li Guan's room to drink tea, waiting for Zhou Guan and Wei Ping to come back.
After about half an hour, I only heard the guard at the door: "They're back!" ”
When Li Guan and the others heard the reputation, they saw Zhou Guan running in with Wei Ping in his arms, and said urgently: "Girl, Wei Ping is seriously injured, please take a look!" As he spoke, he put Wei Ping down and helped him sit back on the chair.
I saw that Wei Ping was already unconscious, there was a dagger stuck in his chest, the wound was oozing blood, the bamboo blue clothes were wet, and the bright red blood dripped down the placket to the floor, and there was a big smell of blood in the room.
The crowd was shocked and gathered around.
"What's going on? How could Wei Ping get hurt? Gu Chengyu said with a solemn expression, and after speaking, he felt that now was not the time to ask this, so he hurriedly looked at Hewang, "Hewang, please help Wei Ping take a look at the wound!" ”
He Wang knows all about medicine, he knows.
"Take him back to his room and lie down on the bed! I'm going to get ready! Crane said.
According to Wei Ping's injury, it is not good for him to move around, Li Wan hurriedly said: "Don't be so troublesome, Uncle Zhou, you put people on my bed!" ”
"No way!" Gu Chengyu refused, "You are a girl's family, how can Wei Ping sleep in your bed?" ”
Li Guan is open-minded and doesn't have so many scruples, but she also knows that Gu Chengyu's words make sense.
"So be it." She had to think of a compromise solution, "Hewang, you carry Chu Fang to the bed." Uncle Zhou, you move Wei Ping to the kang. Brother Gu, it's always okay like this, right? ”
Wei Ping was seriously injured, and Gu Chengyu also wanted to treat him as soon as possible, so he nodded when he heard the words.
Xun Fang went to find a screen, and asked the guards to help erect it in front of the kang, and prepare hot water, gauze, hemostatic medicine and other materials, so that Hewang could treat Wei Ping's injuries.
Wei Ping's wound was on his left chest, the wound was very deep and bleeding a lot, and it took a lot of effort for Hewang to help him stop the bleeding.
Taking advantage of this, Gu Chengyu asked about the ins and outs of the matter.
Zhou Guan said: "We have been chasing the assassin out of the inn, Wei Ping is one step ahead of me, and when I catch up, they have already exchanged hands in the small alley behind the inn." That person's personality is superb, I am afraid that Wei Ping will fall behind, so I hurriedly went up to help. But I didn't expect the two of us to join forces, and the other party is still at ease. And this man has a strange trick, we have been with him for more than 30 moves, and I can't even tell what kind of road he is. ”
He said with a look of surprise in his eyes, clearly surprised by the Assassin's skill.
"At first, we wanted to capture this person alive, so we didn't use all our strength, but then we saw that he was so good that we were afraid that we would let people run away in hesitation, so we wanted to simply kill him. The man must have seen through our intentions, and his moves suddenly became more aggressive...... It is estimated that he also kept his hand before, if he had gone all out at the beginning, Wei Ping and I would definitely not have been able to make so many moves under him. Later, we gradually lost the upper hand, and the man wanted to get out of the way when he saw this......" Speaking of this, a trace of hesitation flashed from Zhou Guan's eyes, "Then he found an opportunity to seriously injure Wei Ping, and escaped while I checked Wei Ping's injury. ”
Hei Jiao didn't use all his strength at the beginning, which shows that he had no intention of hurting people. Since they had already fallen behind, Hei Jiao could completely get out and leave, why did he leave after seriously injuring Wei Ping?
Li Guan couldn't help but feel strange.
The others didn't know what was going on, but they didn't doubt Zhou Guan's words.
Gu Chengyu said: "This assassin is strange, Uncle Zhou, I have to trouble you to work hard tonight, personally lead people to keep vigil, I'm afraid that this assassin will make a comeback." ”
"Gu Gongzi is polite, this is all a matter of his subordinates." Zhou Guan said respectfully, glanced at Li Guan, and then retired to arrange the vigil.
It took a long time for Hewang to heal Wei Ping's wounds.
Knowing that Wei Ping's injury was not worried about his life, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Gu Chengyu said: "There are still two or three hours before dawn, everyone go back to rest, and we will discuss other things at dawn." ”
And they went back to their rooms.
Li Wan went to the room next door to rest, and not long after lying down, Xun Fang came in and said, "Miss, Governor Cao is here." ”
Cao Zefang?
Why did he come at this time?
Was it for the sake of the Assassins?
"Miss, Cao Zefang must be here at this time for the sake of the assassin." Li Wanzheng was surprised, and the ibis had already affirmed, "He wants to talk to the Gu family so much, and he must always pay attention to the movements of our side, as soon as something happens, he will come to offer his hospitality immediately!" ”
