After listening to the murderous scheming all night, Yu Shu didn't have a nightmare that night, and slept until dawn, all thanks to Xue Rui's most ridiculous teasing, but she didn't thank him at all.

Breakfast was simple, the chef refused to open a gang, the proprietress drove the ducks to the shelves, boiled a pot of sweet porridge, Yu Shu asked the guards to go across the street to buy more than a dozen cages of meat buns.

"Big brother, you say, what way will Niu Er find to get in touch with people outside?" Yu Shu tore the bun in one hand, sat behind a window in the hall, looked at the street market downstairs, and tried to distinguish which passer-by looked like a spy from King Ning's mansion.

Xue Rui said: "Yesterday, the shopkeeper said that there was not enough firewood in the kitchen, and I promised to let people go out to buy today, and asked him to make a list, and the people who were guarding outside would seize this opportunity." ”

"Hmm."

The two had breakfast and returned to Xue Rui's room to pass the time.

Two guards were ordered to go out into the street to buy, and when they came back at noon, they went upstairs to resume their lives.

"Back to my lord, after we went to the street, someone followed, and inquired about the place where firewood was collected and sold charcoal along the road, and after two streets, someone led the way, and we followed the instructions of the adult, and the things we bought were sent to the back kitchen without careful inspection."

"Good job, go down and keep an eye on it, see Niu Er enter the kitchen, and come to inform me again."

"Yes." The guard who answered was the one who led Yu Shu yesterday morning, named Lu Hong, a small commander of the left guard of the East Gate, a military general of the seventh grade, this time he was ordered by the emperor to obey Xue Rui's dispatch and brought two guards, both of whom were good at fighting and killing.

Xue Rui called him to his room before dawn this morning. asked him to choose two henchmen, told the three of them about the suspicion of Niu Er's murderer, but only concealed the part of King Ning, and in order to convince them, he also moved out Yu Shu's identity-

"You are walking around in Anling City, you are well-informed, you should know that the female operator of the Daoist can determine life and death, I invited her to Pei County this time, which is the cause of death of Zhou Yushi, and I learned that the prisoner is the chef in this restaurant. I found the head, too. Soaking in the jar of the cellar, don't make a noise, there is another instigator behind this killer, I guess he has received orders. Something will happen tonight. Then you will lie in ambush around my room. As soon as he does it, take him alive, and I'll see. What kind of person is so bold and dares to send a killer to assassinate Qin Cha's life at the feet of the Son of Heaven. ”

Lu Hong and the three of them also knew Xue Rui's reputation as a detective, and coupled with a female operator who could tell the difference between life and death, they were convinced and obeyed him.

Xue Rui made arrangements and just waited for Niu Er to throw himself into the net

In the afternoon, Lu Hong hurriedly went upstairs and knocked on Xue Rui's door-

"My lord, Niu Er sneaked into the firewood room under the pretext of something, and stayed in it for a while before he went to the kitchen to boil water and cook with a pile of firewood."

Xue Rui and Yu Shu glanced at each other, the latter sighed for the former's uncertain prophet, as he said before, only one night, King Ning's order arrived.

"Don't worry about him, wait until nightfall, you arrange the manpower, and listen to me at any time."

Lu Hong was ordered to exit the door.

Xue Rui stood up, opened the wardrobe standing by the wall, picked up the saber he was carrying, pulled out the scabbard, flicked his two fingers, and the blade flashed coldly, humming gently.

Yu Shu saw that it was a sword that sharpened iron like clay, and for a moment, he remembered the old and rusty ancient sword she gave to Jing Chen.

She hadn't noticed before that Xue Rui could also use a sword.

Xue Rui carefully wiped the sword body, stuffed it back into the scabbard, and hung it at the head of the bed.

Yu Shu watched his cautious movements, and the little uneasiness that passed by last night came out again, she hesitated, and said loudly:

"Otherwise, I'll do another divination for you."

Xue Rui turned around, "Huh? ”

"I came over this time to bring imitation Taiqing Ding, as well as Daigo." Yu Shu said, "Godfather helped me check, the medicinal materials in that incense pill are not toxic and can be used." ”

"Zhilu Dao Niu Er is going to do something to you tonight, I can use the six yao to make a good fortune and see if you can kill him successfully."

Xue Rui's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "You don't have to waste that thing, I will end his life, and it will be safe." ”

Yu Shu saw that he was full of confidence, and it was not good to say anything, just think about it, with Lu Hong and them helping on the side, Xue Rui could still be injured

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it gets dark.

Dinner was cooked by Niu Er, a table of good dishes, but Yu Shu didn't take a bite, not because he was afraid that Niu Er would poison it, but because Xue Rui was going to risk killing people at night, she didn't have much appetite.

After the meal, Yu Shu stayed in Xue Rui's room and didn't say anything about leaving.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the street outside that Xue Rui said: "You go back to the room, I'll turn off the lights and wait for him, rest early, close the door, and don't come out to see the excitement when you hear the fighting." ”

“”

"What, don't want to go?" Xue Rui looked at her grinding appearance and joked, "Then don't go, if you are not afraid, just hide in the room and see how I take him down." ”

Yu Shu's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?" ”

She was really reluctant to go, leaving Xue Rui here waiting for a murderer to cut him, and asked her to go back to her room to sleep, can she sleep with her.

Xue Rui took a deep look at her, slowly put away his smile, swept around the room, and pointed to a half-person-high wardrobe placed in the corner of the inner room, and said:

"Yes, you can, but I want you to hide in the cabinet and hide it tightly, so that I can rest assured, can you calm down?"

Yu Shu took a look at the cabinet and agreed without much hesitation:

"What is this, I hid it."

Xue Rui smiled, raised his hand and touched Yu Shu's sideburns, and said softly: "Then you can accompany me." ”

The two of them decided, Xue Rui turned off the lights inside and outside the house, pulled Yu Shu to sit at the head of the bed, and whispered:

"Don't worry, after half an hour, when Niu Er thinks I'm asleep, you can hide in the closet." Although Niu Er practiced foreign kung fu, he was deaf and clear, and if you moved a little, he could hear it clearly. ”

"Okay."

He just held her hand, and did not make any more transgressive moves, the two of them were in the dark, and the moonlight from the west window shone through the gauze paper, shining a pair of overlapping figures in a hazy manner.

In this way, Yu Shu didn't know how long Lu Dao had been waiting, and as soon as he felt a little sleepy, Xue Rui beside him stood up.

"Ashu, you hide."

She was immediately energetic, and was dragged by Xue Rui to the front of the wardrobe, opened the cabinet door, got in, and looked up at Xue Rui's vague figure, which disappeared as the cabinet door closed tightly.

His voice came from outside the cabinet door:

"I didn't call you, don't come out."

Yu Shu replied softly, leaning against the winter pillow, curled up in the stuffy wardrobe, and covered his mouth with one hand to avoid breathing too loudly.

Xue Rui closed the cabinet door, turned around and walked to the bed, took off his sword, put it in his hand, walked out of the bedroom silently with a light footstep.

He opened the door, gestured to the guards in ambush in the corridors on either side, and stepped into the opposite room.

A guard who was squatting on the beam of the room asked in a strange whisper, "Boss, why did Lord Xue enter Miss Yu's room?" ”

"Ask so much what to do, the prisoner is a practitioner, beware that he sneaks in and notices, silenced, and holds his breath,"

Lu Hong scolded lightly, clenched his waist knife, and remembered that Xue Rui had confessed to him behind his back during the day, paying attention to whether Niu Er had asked the brother who delivered the food which room Yu Shu lived.

At that time, he didn't understand Xue Rui's intentions, but at this time, he understood a little. (To be continued......)
