Chapter Ninety-Nine: Murder

At this moment, the sound of Ying Harmony suddenly came like a tide, and the night sky roared: "Kill"

"Kill"

With the shouts of killing one after another, the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, countless fires suddenly lit up outside, as if thousands of troops and horses suddenly entered this small alley.

Zhong Ziyuan almost jumped up, Guo Chengsi reached out and grabbed her wrist, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, there are people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division rushing over outside, and those thieves will be taken down soon." ”

"The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division?" Zhong Ziyuan struggled to suppress the fear in her heart, she barely showed a smile and asked, "Did you notify them to come?" ”

"It's their job." Guo Chengsi's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division specializes in preventing and inspecting traitors, prohibiting the arrest of thieves and thieves, dredging ditches, and inspecting wind and fire, and its responsibilities are quite heavy. Now at the foot of this Tianzi, there are actually a large number of robbers with open fire, if they haven't acted, just wait for tomorrow to be guilty of dereliction of responsibility by Yu Shishen! Zhong Ziyuan nodded knowingly.

The tall guard arched his hand and asked, "Do you want your subordinates to take someone out to pick them up?" ”

"No, you just need to keep an eye on the doors of these three courtyards." Guo Chengsi said categorically: "The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has dispatched so many men and horses, if they can't even catch these bandits, their command will make the black gauze hat on the head of the lord even afraid that he will not be able to wear it steadily." ”

"Yes." The guard was ordered to leave with his fists clenched.

Only then did Zhong Ziyuan know that the original Zhuang family and the Li family were also included in the protection of Guo Chenghe, is this considered a love house and Wu! As soon as she thought of this, her face suddenly turned red. I secretly took a sip of myself, what are you still thinking about here?

She came back to her senses, but found that Guo Chengsi leaned forward. The handsome face was infinitely magnified in front of her eyes, his lips almost touched the tip of her nose, she hurriedly leaned back, and exclaimed in embarrassment, "What are you doing?" ”

Guo Chengsi shrugged, stood up straight again, and said lazily: "Good and decent, why are you blushing again." I don't know what I'm thinking about all day long. ”

Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly defended: "Where is the blush, it is obviously illuminated by the fire outside." He still had a disfigurement potion on his face, so he could see that he was blushing. This guy's eyes are too sharp! She subconsciously wanted to touch her cheek, only to find that he had been holding her wrist. This time, her face turned even redder, and her ingot-like earlobes were almost so red that they could drip blood.

She hung her cheeks busily. Twisting his wrist extremely uncomfortably. Guo Chengsi smiled lightly. Not reluctantly, he immediately let go of his hand.

The fighting outside was getting louder and louder, accompanied by a few exclamations or screams from time to time, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air! Zhong Ziyuan was uneasy in her heart, and her face was a little unsightly.

Seeing this, Guo Chengsi coughed lightly and said, "I don't know when it will end outside, and it's not a matter of standing like this." Why don't you go to your house and sit down! ”

"It's fine." Zhong Ziyuan was already disturbed by the shouting and killing outside, so she took Guo Chengsi to her house. Just arrived at the door. Zhong Ziyuan suddenly shouted, "Wait." Guo Chengsi was surprised to retract the feet that were about to step into the house, raised his eyebrows and looked at her strangely.

She looked embarrassed and said, "I'll go in first and light the lamp." With that, she rushed into the room. Immediately afterward, she exclaimed "ouch" from the room. Did a thief enter the house? Guo Chengsi was shocked and just wanted to break in. I heard Zhong Ziyuan inside shouting in a panic: "I'm fine, you wait and come in again." ”

Guo Chengsi instantly understood something, shook his head funny, and still stood at the door honestly waiting. After a short while, the lights finally lit up in the room, and Guo Chengsi walked in.

Through the dim light, Guo Chengsi saw many round white wax balls on the ground, all of which were swept aside at the moment. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you think that these wax balls can stop those thieves?" ”

Half of his farts were still hot and painful, but Zhong Ziyuan didn't dare to reach out and rub them, so he had to say stupidly: "Even if you can't stop him, it's good to drop him." ”

"That's not good." Guo Chengsi shook his head and said that he did not agree with her approach: "This kind of trap is like a child playing around, not to mention hurting Cheng dΓΉ low, it will annoy the thieves and completely stimulate their ferocity." You're putting yourself in danger by then. ”

"Who said I had these means!" Zhong Ziyuan quietly rolled her eyes, pinched the corner of her clothes and muttered dissatisfiedly in her heart.

When Guo Chengsi saw her red lips pouting slightly, he knew that she was not convinced. So he chuckled, no longer verbose, lifted the hem of the brocade robe, sat down on the side of the long collapse, and then said, "I am a little hungry in my belly, but I have something to eat?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan thought for a while and said, "There are still some beef tongue cakes and jujube paste cakes, which were brought by the shopkeeper that day, and they haven't been touched in the past two days. Would you like to eat some? ”

"Okay! As long as it fills your stomach. Guo Chengsi didn't dislike it at all. Zhong Ziyuan opened the curtain to serve snacks.

Guo Chengsi was a little thirsty, and saw a coarse porcelain teapot and four teacups on the table at hand. He poured himself a glass. The tea is already cold at the moment, but the tea soup is still bright. He didn't care so much, he picked it up and put it to his mouth. As soon as he took a sip, Zhong Ziyuan walked in with two snacks and a freshly brewed hot tea. Seeing this, he exclaimed: "You can't drink it, there is a drug in it." ”

What the? Guo Chengsi hurriedly spit out the tea that had not yet been swallowed, and at the same time, a strong feeling of dizziness hit his brain. He only felt that it was dark in front of him, and soon collapsed limply on the long collapse and fell asleep. The tea cup in his hand also rolled to the ground, and the drugged tea spilled on the ground.

Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly stepped forward, put the things in his hand aside, stretched out his hand to probe his pulse, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the taste of my drug was not tasted by the thieves, but I was fascinated by the ghosts of Chang'an who were afraid of everyone, and I don't know if the thieves who were caught by him would feel relieved?" ”

Thinking of this situation, she felt a little funny. So he simply took advantage of his slumber and didn't know anything. stretched out a jade finger like an onion and poked his smooth forehead, and said triumphantly: "It's a shame that you are still the prince of the world, and you even drink cold tea overnight." ”

Poke enough. She began to pinch his cheek again, watching his usually majestic handsome face be twisted and deformed like dough under her fingers, she smiled more and more happily: "You always scare me, and take advantage of me, this time it finally fell into my hands!" She pinched a few more handfuls, and then her conscience found that she went to the medicine box to rummage through the antidote.

She had just taken the small bottle of antidote in her hand when she heard a loud bang overhead. A tall and thin figure smashed through the roof and rolled down between Zhong Ziyuan and Guo Chengsi. The man rolled on the ground a few times, spat out a mouthful of blood, and got up.

He was pale. He was wearing a night coat and was holding a steel knife with a slightly rolled blade in his hand. The tip of the knife was still dripping blood, obviously the dress of a thief.

Zhong Ziyuan was taken aback. A heart almost stopped beating. The man's triangular eyes were bloodshot. Apparently red-eyed. He glanced around the small room fiercely, and immediately focused his attention on Guo Chenghe, who was still asleep on the long collapse.

Compared with Zhong Ziyuan, who is thin and weak, Guo Chenghe, who is thin and strong, and has bulging arms and muscles, is obviously more threatening. Although the man didn't know why Guo Chengsi could still sleep soundly after hearing such a loud movement, he subconsciously decided to solve this person first.

Zhong Ziyuan saw that the man's eyes were fierce and headed towards Guo Chenghe, he was shocked and anxious, and he only hated why he had been playing with him for so long, and he had missed the opportunity to wake him up.

One step at a time. Seeing him getting closer and closer to Guo Chenghe, Zhong Ziyuan's mind was almost blank. She only subconsciously ran over and opened her arms to stop in front of Guo Chengsi.

A fierce light flashed in front of the man's eyes, and without hesitation, he raised the steel knife in his hand and slashed at the top of Zhong Ziyuan's head. Zhong Ziyuan was extremely frightened, her hands and feet were trembling, she simply closed her eyes and shouted: "If you want to escape, you can't kill us!" ”

The man's hand froze, and at this moment, the blade that shimmered with cold light was already close to her forehead, drawing a thin blood mark, and the blood slowly gathered and began to drip down drop by drop, and soon made her face.

Zhong Ziyuan quietly opened her eyes, and the steel knife in the man's hand flipped over and pressed against her neck. "How to escape, tell me quickly!" The man finally spoke hoarsely. Although he is a roaming and murderous bandit. But it's very rare for this rotten life for yourself. If there was a chance to escape, he naturally didn't want to give up.

"Quick!" He urged again, the steel knife in his hand tightened, and a chill penetrated into his bones, making Zhong Ziyuan's hairs stand on end. She didn't have any ideas, she just talked nonsense. Seeing that the killing intent in the man's eyes was getting stronger and stronger, she stammered and said, "Outside, outside, the outside is full of officers and soldiers, and you will definitely not be able to get out at this moment." Why don't you take me hostage, let those officers and soldiers have some scruples, maybe they have a chance to escape. The more she spoke, the smoother she became, and she seemed to have a brilliant plan.

The man's eyes lit up, and he was obviously moved. His eyes rolled on Zhong Ziyuan and Guo Chengsi, he smiled, and said in a contemptuous manner: "Since it is a hostage, of course this young man in Chinese clothes is more useful." For the sake of seeing that you have a good idea, let's let you die a happy death! ”

Zhong Ziyuan was embarrassed, and secretly scolded this bandit's eyes are really vicious. Even if Guo Chengsi slept there, he still couldn't hide the innate dignity on his body, which was indeed not comparable to a small person like himself.

With a slight flick of her wrist hidden in her sleeve, a sharp hairpin silently slipped into her sweaty palm. The blood dripping from her forehead gradually covered her eyes, making her eyes blood-red, but she didn't dare to blink, still trying to keep them open.

The man smirked and raised the steel knife in his hand, and almost at the same time, a tall figure split open half of the window and slammed in. The man held the steel knife and subconsciously paused, Zhong Ziyuan saw the opportunity, gritted his teeth, and stabbed the hairpin in his hand into his armpit.

The man wanted to laugh at him, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't make a sound. His pale face immediately turned gray, and his lips turned purple. He opened his mouth, a mouthful of black blood shot out, and then fell heavily on his back.

Zhong Ziyuan also sat down on the ground dejectedly, barely raising his hand to wipe the blood in front of him. Her whole body began to tremble violently uncontrollably, she stared at her hands that were still stained with blood, and whispered with a crying voice: "I killed someone, I killed someone"

The one who broke in behind was the head of the guard who had been following Zhong Ziyuan for a few days. Half of his body was stained with blood at the moment, and he was obviously not lightly injured. He saw Guo Chengsi lying motionless on the long collapse, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Hurriedly stumbled over, reaching out to Guo Chengsi's snort.

Seeing that he was breathing steadily and his face was normal, the guard's tense nerves were only half relaxed. He gasped and sat down beside Guo Chengsi, swept the hideous and terrifying corpse on the ground first, and secretly gasped. Hurriedly pushed Zhong Ziyuan on the shoulder and asked, "Doctor Jia, Doctor Jia, are you okay?" What's wrong with us, my lord? ”

Zhong Ziyuan came back to his senses and said, "He's fine, it's just that he accidentally fell into my drug, give him an antidote and be fine." She explained, trying to get up from the ground, but when she looked up, she saw that the dead eyes were glaring at her. She let out a terrible exclamation, fell to the ground again, and vomited spasmodically. Her whole body trembled more and more, like a sifting chaff, and she couldn't help herself.

The head of the guard frowned, and there was a secret sympathy in his heart. remembered that when he killed the first person, he was also like this, and he panicked. However, this Doctor Jia didn't blink his eyes when he killed people, but now he was scared like a quail when he was facing a corpse, which made him feel a little incredible.

Still, he stood up kindly and reached out to drag the corpse. Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly raised his hand to stop it: "Don't, wait a minute." ”

The head of the guard looked at her in surprise. She wiped the sour water from the corner of her mouth, and said with a strong spirit: "The poison in him is sealed by blood." Even if it's just a corpse, it's covered in venom. You can't touch him like that, you'll be poisoned yourself. "That's amazing? The head of the guard hurriedly withdrew his hand and looked at Zhong Ziyuan in awe.

Zhong Ziyuan smiled reluctantly, she got up tremblingly, and found a pair of special gloves that she used to do surgery before, which were so thin and soft that she couldn't even penetrate water. She handed the gloves to the head of the guards, and babbled instructed, "If you wear it to drag the corpse, you won't be afraid of being poisoned." But it's best to burn the body as soon as possible, and it won't be good if someone else touches it by mistake. Even if you don't get touched by others, you will suffer if you are gnawed by those wild dogs and rats."

The head of the guard instantly felt that hundreds of flies were circling around him, and he hurriedly interrupted: "Got it, got it, you remember to wake up our adults quickly." He took the gloves and put them on his hands, and dragged the dead corpse out with a sigh. Only Zhong Ziyuan was left alone to look at the black blood stains remaining on the ground, unable to shiver by himself. (To be continued......)
