Chapter 24, Attacked at Night
It is said that the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. More than a thousand years ago, Yan'er also deeply realized the true meaning of this sentence. I thought that as long as I escaped from Daliao and had some silver in my hand, I could enjoy the mountains and rivers all the way. But she never thought that there was endless danger waiting for her ahead.
On the third night of leaving Nanjing, Yan'er met a killer who came to commit murder.
The two black-clothed men quietly climbed over the wall through the back door of the Biansai Inn, and then walked lightly to the door of the No. 1 room in Tianzi. One of the men in black gently plunged his knife into the crack in the door, trying to open it.
Yan'er, who was still asleep, heard the movement at the door in a daze, and suddenly became vigilant. Quickly got dressed, picked up a wooden stick from the corner of the bed, and quietly hid behind the door, holding his breath, not daring to make a sound.
The door was gently opened, and two men in black quietly walked in through the door, feeling the black towards the position of the bed. Yan'er saw the right time, picked up the wooden stick in her hand and slammed it on the back of the heads of the two black-clothed men. The man in black was in pain, and Yan'er took the opportunity to run out of the door, and the man in black came back to his senses and followed out. But as soon as I went out, I could still find Yan'er's shadow.
"Boss, what should I do?" One of the men in black asked.
"Don't alarm the others for the time being, withdraw first!" Another man in black replied.
As soon as the words fell, the two immediately climbed over the wall.
Seeing that the danger had been temporarily lifted, Yan'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, so she looked at the man in front of her gratefully and said, "Thank you, if you hadn't pulled me in just now, I'm afraid I would have been torn apart by their five horses by now!"
"I'm really curious, you little beggar, how can they hunt you down?" The man glanced at Yan'er with disgust and said.
Yan'er realized that she was wearing the previous beggar outfit in a hurry, and her face turned red for a while, and she said angrily: "Why do you care so much?"
"Okay, okay, I don't care, now that those men in black are gone, you can go back!" The man turned around and said coldly.
"Yes...... But ......" Yan'er couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when she thought about such a dangerous scene just now, so she didn't dare to go back to her room just now.
The man turned his head and glanced at Yan'er, as if he saw what she was thinking, so he smiled lightly: "It turns out that you are also scared sometimes."
"You ......" Yan'er glared at the man, then raised her feet and walked to her room.
Unexpectedly, the man grabbed Yan'er's wrist and said coldly: "Stand here obediently for me, I'll help you get the things in your room!"
"Here you go! If you are afraid, go and sleep in my room, and I will watch over you. The man said expressionlessly handing the burden to Yan'er.
Yan'er hesitated a little and refused to take the burden for a long time.
"What are you afraid of? You're all men, and I'm not going to do anything to you! The man looked at Yan'er with strange eyes and said.
Yan'er snatched the burden from the man's hand and strode towards the man's previous room. She was a very traditional girl, but now if she went back to the room where she was assassinated, if those men in black came back, it would probably be more than lucky. If you have someone with you, it will be much more reassuring.
"There's only one bed here, how can you sleep!" Yan'er looked at the only bed in the room and muttered.
"It's all men, what's wrong with sleeping in one bed?" The man asked, frowning.
Although Yan'er was extremely reluctant, there was no other way now, so she had to lie down with her clothes closed. The man also folded his clothes and slowly lay down beside Yan'er.
Yan'er gradually fell asleep with great trepidation. This night, Yan'er slept very deeply, I don't know if it was because of someone around her.
When I woke up, it was dawn. The man next to him had already gotten up and was sitting at the table drinking tea.
"Are you awake?" The man took a sip of tea and raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Hmm. Did you wake up so early? Yan'er asked sleepily.
"I watched over you all night!" The man said with a smirk.
"What are you guarding me for?"
"Do you think those men in black are really gone? If I hadn't gone out last night while you were asleep to deal with those men in black, you thought you would still be able to see the sun today? ”
Yan'er looked at the man and felt from his expression that he didn't look like he was lying. So he was grateful, and said softly: "Thank you Gongzi for coming to the rescue, may I ask Gongzi's honorable name?"
The man's hand, which was originally holding a teacup, suddenly stopped in mid-air. Instead, he quickly resumed his tea-drinking movements. The voice said in a casual voice: "My surname is Yang, and my name is Ning Yu."
"My name is Xiao Xuan. I'm going to Da Song, what about you? Seeing the man report his name, Yan'er's original guard was also lowered a lot, but because she was now a beggar dressed as a man disguised as a woman, it was inconvenient for her to tell the man her real name, so she had to make up a name casually. Xiao is her surname, and her name is Huangpu Xuan's name, so good, Yan'er said proudly in her heart.
"What are you doing in Da Song? Now that Song Zu Zhao Kuangyin is fighting everywhere, you are a little beggar who has no power to restrain chickens, isn't it sent to death when you go to that place where there are few soldiers and horses? Yang Ningyu asked curiously.
"Huh? The Great Song Dynasty is at war? So what to do? Yan'er frowned and said worriedly.
"If you are not in a hurry, you can go back to Northern Han with me first, and when I am done with things, I can send you to the Great Song Dynasty." Yang Ningyu packed his luggage and said.
Because there was no other choice, Yan'er had to choose to go back to Taiyuan City, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, with Yang Ningyu first. Instead of going into danger alone, it's better to find an all-round bodyguard first!
