Chapter 343: Snakes
"The concubine can't sleep and go out for a walk, and she will come back in a while." After appeasing Yinzhen, Ling Ruo opened the door and walked out, today it was Chen Shu's vigil, he was not lazy, he moved a stool to sit under the eaves, and when he saw Ling Ruo come out, his expression changed slightly, and he was calm as usual, and after getting up and beating Qian'er, he said with concern: "Why did the master come out so late?" It's a little chilly outside! ”
"Out of the way." Ling Ruo pulled the clothes draped on his body, his eyes swept over the surroundings that seemed to be normal, and said, "Are you all right?" ”
"Everything's fine." Chen Shu glanced at Ling Ruo cautiously, "What does the master have to order?" ”
Ling Ruo looked at it for a long time, and found that there was no other abnormality except for no sound around, and said one by one: "I always feel a little strange tonight, you look carefully, don't have any accidents, the fourth master is also resting inside." ”
"Huh!" Chen Shu lowered his head, his expression buried in the shadows was a little strange, but it was a pity that Ling Ruo had already turned around at that time and had not seen it.
After making sure that Ling Ruo was back in the house, Chen Shu glanced left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, he hurried to the courtyard, opened the courtyard door that was closed at night, and there was a thin figure standing outside.
"Why did it take so long to open the door?" Seeing Chen Shu come out, the figure asked, his voice was hoarse and ugly, like a blade scraping through an iron pot, very harsh; And his accent sounds extremely awkward, not like a native of the Central Plains.
When facing this person, Chen Shu was very afraid, and said with a smile: "Luo Lao forgives the sin, and the woman came out just now, so it was delayed for a while." ”
After Luo Lao snorted lightly, he raised his right hand, there was no moonlight at this time, and he couldn't see what he was holding in his hand, but after Chen Shu saw this, the fear on his face deepened, as if it would kill him.
"Open the door wider and let my darlings in." As he spoke, Lao Luo brought the things in his hand to his lips, and was about to make a move, Chen Shu hurriedly grabbed him and said in fear: "Old Luo, I'm afraid today's matter is going to be postponed, they ...... Can't get in. ”
"What did you say?" Luo Lao's face suddenly became ugly, and he scolded: "You are the ones who say that you will do it tonight, and you are the ones who say that you can't do it tonight. ”
"Luo Lao is angry." Chen Shu hurriedly appeased, he didn't dare to offend this strange old man, otherwise his life would be lost at any time, "How dare the slave play with you, it's true that the prince is also in there tonight, in case these iron snakes go in and bite the prince, then the trouble will be big." The slave has a cheap life, and if it's gone, it's gone, I'm afraid that it will implicate Luo Lao! ”
Although Luo Lao didn't care much about the laws of the court, he was also unwilling to risk the threat of being wanted and arrested to murder a prince of the dynasty. The reason why he appeared here was because someone spent a lot of money to ask him to get rid of a woman, and what money to deal with someone, the life of the prince was much more expensive than those silver and two gold.
He was about to speak, a figure rushed over, because he was walking too fast, so he ran out of breath, and after his breath was calmer, he said to Luo Lao: "The master has a life, the prince is resting in Jingsiju, and he must not hurt the prince in the slightest." ”
Because Yinzhen came to Jingsiju temporarily, he hadn't informed anyone before, so he didn't know that Yinzhen was also here, and as soon as he learned about it, he immediately sent someone to stop him.
"So, tonight is a trip for nothing?" Luo Lao's face was very ugly, he had been carefully preparing for so long, but he was temporarily stopped, no one would feel good in his heart, not to mention that he still had a lot of treasures to appease.
The person who came looked at Luo Lao's displeased expression and showed a strange smile, "Although the original plan can't be decided, the master has other instructions for Luo Lao." You don't have to kill anyone, just give the money. How, is Luo Lao interested? ”
Luo Lao stared at him tightly, the meaning was self-evident, someone came to his ear and whispered a few words, with his words Luo Lao showed a grim smile, twisted his chin and said to the person who was waiting for him to answer: "Yes, just do as you say, but ...... Your temporary change of plan is not in accordance with the rules, and I will add this amount to the silver. He stretched out a hand, and five fingers were faintly discernible in the night.
The insatiable old fox, obviously he doesn't need to kill anyone, but he has to add another five hundred taels, which is really hateful.
The person who came scolded secretly in his heart, but he smiled on the surface, "Don't worry, Luo Lao, as long as the matter is done, you can say as much money as you want!" Immediately, he said to Chen Shu: "Good life and cooperate with Luo Lao, your benefits are indispensable on the master's side." ”
"The slave knows the way." Chen Shu hurriedly agreed, and the people who came from his head left quickly, leaving no trace.
"Hurry up and open the door wider for my darling to enter." Thinking of the silver in vain, Luo Lao moved a little faster.
After Chen Shu opened the door a little according to his words, he hurriedly ran back to the original place in order not to be suspicious of being discovered. As for Luo Lao's side, since they all said that they wouldn't kill people, he naturally had nothing to worry about.
The moon peeked out half of his face from the dark clouds that covered the sky, and through the moonlight, he could vaguely see what Luo Lao was holding on his right hand seemed to be a bamboo whistle. I saw that Luo Lao put the bamboo whistle to his mouth and blew it gently, and a sound immediately sounded under his feet, as if something was swimming by.
Luo Lao smiled yinyin, and after the bamboo whistle blew twice in a row, the sound of silence passed through the courtyard gate and went inside, as for himself, he hid in an inconspicuous corner, he has always commanded the group of treasures with his voice, and it doesn't matter whether they are there or not.
Ling Ruo returned to the bed, she had just been lying down for a while, and heard a few whistles again, this time she was very sure that it was not a dream, because she had never fallen asleep at all, why did she have such a sound in a good manner?
Ling Ruoxing may not have paid so much attention to it as usual, but tonight she always felt that something had happened, and she was very uneasy, even the one in her belly was not stable, and she could feel him moving in her stomach from time to time, like a small fish that kept swimming.
Before she could call someone, there were suddenly a few knocks on the door, and even Yinzhen woke up, he turned over and said unhappily: "Who knocked on the door?" ”
Chen Shu's trembling voice came from outside the door, "Lord Qiqi, ...... outside." Something happened out there, there's a ...... There are so many snakes! ”
Snake?! Hearing this word, Yin Zhen's expression froze, he immediately opened his eyes, turned over and landed, and did not put on his clothes, strode over and opened the door, Ling Ruo followed closely behind.
Outside, Chen Shu's face was like a dead person, and when he saw Yinzhen and them coming out, he hurriedly led them out, and when they arrived at the main hall, although they had heard Chen Shu talk about snakes, the two of them were still startled when they really saw it.
Because the main hall had to keep vigil, the lanterns and candles were lit, and it could be seen at a glance that the four-edged carved door was half-open as Ling Ruo had seen just now. But at this moment, there are many thin black and black wire snakes on the ground, densely packed and constantly swimming through the half-knee-high vermilion threshold to come inside, each of which is black and blue, obviously the same as the day, highly poisonous.
This piece of wire snakes, not to mention hundreds, looked extremely infiltrating, Ling Ruo couldn't help but take a few steps back, although Yinzhen stood still, his face was also pale for a while.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the wire snakes did not continue after swimming past the threshold, but stopped there to raise their tiny snake heads and swallow bright red snake letters.
