There was a dead silence in the room, and the air seemed to have frozen.

Qin Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, motionless, without lighting an oil lamp, in the dimness, the whole person was like a stone.

With his eyes closed, in the frozen air, Qin Xiao finally heard the sound of extremely light breathing, and the sound was outside the curtain of the door of his room.

Living alone, Qin Xiao's room is not a wooden door, but a linen curtain, which makes it easier to enter and exit.

Qin Xiao stared at the curtain, he had already determined that it was behind the curtain, and there was a person standing there quietly.

Who is it?

Could it be that the mysterious person I had been waiting for for nearly two hundred days suddenly appeared?

This thought flashed through him, and Qin Xiao's excitement was instantly replaced by reason.

Although he desperately wanted to see the mysterious man again, he knew deep down that he would never reappear until the moment of crisis.

Ever since drinking blood could suppress his cold disease, that person had never appeared again, which meant that that person knew that at least the cold disease would no longer threaten Qin Xiao, and there was no need to make another move, so naturally it would not appear easily.

If not the mysterious man, who could it be?

Qin Xiao's brows were locked, staring at the door curtain without turning his eyes, and he suddenly thought of the hat man he met in the street market before, could it be that he had offended the hat man, and the hat man came to retaliate?

The man's breath outside was light, but not easily noticeable.

But the silent reminder of the old black dog, coupled with the silence in the house, Qin Xiao concentrated and perceived, but there was no doubt about it.

Qin Xiao knew that the old black dog must have been manipulated by that person, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead, but the other party was obviously not good.

After a moment of silence, Qin Xiao suddenly stretched and yawned deliberately, hoping to show that he didn't notice that there was someone in the room, but a hand reached into the bed, only halfway through, but he suddenly realized that he had made a mistake just today.

Qin Xiao was on an errand in the Jiazi prison, so he naturally also wore a sword.

He used to wear a saber in a bad clothes, and he had a habit of putting the saber in the bed, as if when he was sleeping, having a knife by his side would make his heart feel much more at ease.

But today, because I wanted to go to the Golden Hook Gambling House to see the movement, I changed into ordinary clothes in the prison, and even the saber was left in the prison.

There was no knife on the bed, no other sharp weapons around, and he was bare-handed.

If the other party really came to trouble him or even ask for his own life, without a saber to resist, he would never be able to meet the enemy with that set of strong and healthy Bajiquan.

The wooden bed leaned against the back window, Qin Xiao glanced at the window, and the window bolt was tied from the inside.

The other party was still standing outside the curtain and did not move, Qin Xiao didn't know why the other party didn't make a move, was he not completely sure or did he not have the intention to harm himself?

Do you have to wait until you fall asleep before you do it?

He took off his boots as if nothing had happened, and then went to bed, approached the back window, and reached for it with the lightest possible motion to pull the bolt open.

Outside the back window is a small alley, no matter what the other party's purpose is, he can only make the worst guess.

If you are in an immeasurable danger, what you have to do is to do everything you can to run as the best policy, which is also one of the six wisdoms.

At the moment, of course, he is in an unpredictable danger, and of course he has to jump out of the back window to escape.

But before his hand touched the window bolt, he heard a voice say coldly: "If you want to run for your life, you can only die faster." The voice came from behind him, and Qin Xiao turned around and found that a figure was already standing in the room.

The person who came was dressed in black and masked, holding a knife in his left hand, the scabbard was not out, and in the darkness, the pair of eyes like poisonous snakes were staring at Qin Xiao.

When his intention to escape through the back window was discovered, Qin Xiao could only turn around and pretend to be surprised: "Who are you?" ”

"Don't pretend." The person who came suddenly held the handle of the knife with his right hand, pulled it out with a "choking" sound, and sneered: "We have only been apart for a day, you should not forget who I am so soon." ”

Qin Xiao looked at the man's eyes, and finally smiled bitterly: "Ghost hand three!" ”

In fact, the first sentence that the other party said, Qin Xiao felt that the voice was very familiar, and he quickly guessed who the other party was, but he didn't dare to be sure immediately, and as soon as the other party said the next words, he was very sure that the man in black was the guard of Zhen Hou Mansion.

The person who came pulled down the mask and revealed a face, which was the third ghost hand.

"I ask you to answer, if you play tricks, you will be killed immediately." Ghost Hand Three stared at Qin Xiao's eyes and said coldly.

Qin Xiao said: "That young man sent you?" I didn't expect the prince of the dignified Hou Mansion to use such despicable means. ”

The third ghost hand is the guard of the Zhen Hou Mansion, so he is naturally under the orders of Zhen Yujiang.

Last night, Qin Xiao found the Imperial Buddha statue from Mr. Lang's house, which not only made Zhen Yujiang's plan to frame the Duwei's Mansion completely ruined, but also made himself disgraced and humiliated.

Qin Xiao knew that the people in Zhenhou Mansion must be disgusted with him, but he didn't expect that the other party would send someone over tonight to attack him.

"He's just a stupid pig." Ghost Hand San sneered: "He really wants to kill you, but you are from the Governor's Mansion, and he really doesn't dare to act rashly against you without finding a conclusive reason." ”

Qin Xiao was stunned, he thought that the ghost hand three came tonight, and it must have been sent by Zhen Yujiang, but the words of the ghost hand three seemed to have another hidden meaning.

The third ghost hand is a person from the Zhen Hou Mansion, who eats the Zhen family's food, but here he scolds Zhen Yujiang for being a stupid pig, which makes Qin Xiao feel a little unbelievable.

"Didn't he send you? Is that you're going to kill me? Qin Xiaoqi said: "What grudge do I have with you?" ”

"Less nonsense." The three blades of the ghost hand pointed at Qin Xiao: "Let me ask you, how did you know that the Buddha statue was in the Langshen Water House last night?" ”

Qin Xiao's heart was stunned, and the corners of his eyes jumped slightly.

He did not reveal the secret of blood to anyone.

Even his most trusted Han Duwei and Meng Zhutou, Qin Xiao did not reveal a word, Han Duwei also asked this question last night, Qin Xiao responded vaguely, fortunately, Han Duwei did not ask any further, and it can be regarded as a mixture.

But Qin Xiao knew that with the words he had used to deal with Han Duwei last night, it would never be possible to get away with it.

"There are not many people who know where the Buddha statue is hiding." There was a look of suspicion in the three eyes of the ghost hand: "You couldn't have known its whereabouts, but you just found it, what the hell is in it?" If you tell the truth, I may spare your life, or ......!" There was a cold light in his eyes, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring.

Qin Xiao looked at the cold blade, and suddenly smiled: "I thought there was something wrong, Third Master, I'm just afraid that you won't believe it when you say it." ”

"Oh?"

"Actually, there's nothing to do, it's just a gamble." Qin Xiao said: "I know that the Zhenhou Mansion is to frame the Duwei Mansion, but the Imperial Buddha statue is too precious, even if it is hidden, it will not find a place at random." At that time, I guessed that the Buddha statue was either hidden in Zhen Yujiang's house or in Mr. Lang's room, and I didn't want to make the right bet. ”

"Nonsense." Ghost Shousan sneered: "You're still lying now, do you really want to die?" He pushed the blade forward.

At this moment, the blade was only a stone's throw away from Qin Xiao, and with the skills of the three ghost hands, as long as the murderous intent was together, it would be difficult for Qin Xiao to dodge.

"Third master, the matter is over, you have to figure out how I found the Buddha statue now, and what's the use?" Qin Xiao smiled bitterly: "Does Zhen Yujiang want to make trouble and understand what's going on?" ”

The face of the ghost hand was full of hatred, and he said coldly: "Zhen Yujiang, that stupid pig, actually thought that Lao Tzu revealed the whereabouts of the Buddha statue to you, and killed me, and today deliberately sent me to take two people out of the city to do errands, and those two people suddenly killed me halfway through, if I didn't notice that something was wrong, I was afraid that I would have died under their knives." ”

Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and he was surprised and amused in his heart, he found the Buddha statue last night, just to rescue Meng Zhutou, but he didn't want to be involved in the ghost hand three because of this.

"Third Master, does he suspect it's you?" Qin Xiao pretended to be angry: "This matter has nothing to do with you, how can it be blamed on you?" ”

"When you entered the mansion last night, Lao Tzu took you in." Ghost Shousan said indignantly: "Zhen Yujiang must have thought that when you entered the mansion, only Lao Tzu had the opportunity to reveal the whereabouts of the Buddha statue to you, so he wanted to take Lao Tzu's life." That stupid pig didn't want to think about it, what good did Lao Tzu do for me. ”

Qin Xiao sighed: "I see. Third Master, you are loyal to the Zhenhou Mansion, just because he is suspicious of you, he wants to send someone to kill you, such a stupid pig, you really shouldn't serve him anymore. ”

"You think I've come to you tonight to serve him?" Ghost Shousan sneered: "Lao Tzu was wronged, you can't just be unclear and talk less nonsense, what is the reason?" ”

Qin Xiao said helplessly: "Since the third master wants to know, I will ..... Hey, who are you? He looked behind the ghost hand and suddenly lost his voice.

Seeing that his voice was full of horror, Ghost Shousan couldn't help but turn his head back, that is, at this moment, Qin Xiao had already dragged the quilt on the bed and threw it violently towards Ghost Shousan, but the whole person had already jumped on the bed, raised his foot and kicked it towards the back window.

Qin Xiao knew very well in his heart that since Ghost Hand San had come to the door tonight, he must have a strong killing intent, even if he told him the truth, this person would never leave just like that, and he would definitely poison him.

He knew that since Ghost Hand San was a guard of the Hou Mansion, he must be able to do it, and he still had a knife in his hand, so he didn't say that he was bare-handed, even if he really had a knife in his hand, he was definitely not the opponent of the other party.

There is no other choice but to break out of the window, and there may be a glimmer of life.

After all, Ghost Hand San is not a general, the moment he turned around, he already felt that something was coming, he snorted, clenched the knife in his hand, and before he could see clearly that it was the quilt thrown over, a knife had already been cut over, he was full of strength, very sharp, and the quilt was cut open by a big knife before it touched him.

Seeing Qin Xiao kicking the window and trying to escape, his feet were forced, and the whole person had already jumped on the bed, and without hesitation, the knife in his hand had already slashed down at Qin Xiao from behind.
