Chapter 1056: The Long Night
The clouds and the moon obscured all the stars and moonlight, and the only light in the night was the burning torches. Men in military uniforms hurried through the night, hurried footsteps breaking the silence of the long night. At this time, if anyone is peeking through the window, they will definitely be able to see the solemn expressions on the faces of those in armor.
This night is equivalent to hanging your head on your belt.
If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!
The group came to the back door of the Taishou Mansion silently and quickly, and their goal today was to pass through this road and rush inside.
Because of this special period, there have always been people around the Taishou Mansion to guard it, and it is the same today. I thought it would take a lot of effort to rush in, but I never expected that as soon as the team leader touched the seemingly closed back door, the door creaked and pushed inside.
Everyone couldn't help but be secretly surprised!
What's the matter, could it be that at such a time, the guards of the gate would be derelict in their duties?
Just when everyone was confused, a figure appeared in their sight. I saw that he was clumsy, his steps were shaking, and while carrying wine, he was still talking a bunch of nonsense, obviously drunk, and he didn't even feel the sense of crisis when they came, so he walked up to him and said nonsense: "What are you doing here?" Taishoufu is not a place where you people can come if you want to, get out, get out! ”
As he spoke, he pushed the man standing in the doorway out with all his might.
However, these people are all sturdy men, where can he be pushed away by a person who is old, still rickety, and even drunk? I pushed hard for a while, but I didn't move.
The janitor touched it, touched a cold object, and instantly sobered up: "What is on your waist?" ”
The corner of the leader's lips curled into a sneer, and he took out the object to show him that it was actually a knife. Where has the janitor seen this kind of battle, the most excessive thing he has ever seen on weekdays is just those things that bully the weak and fear the hard, in many, at most, who beats whom, where has he ever seen a real sword? Immediately, his legs trembled with fright, and for a while, he couldn't even stand firmly.
"You ...... Who the hell are you? ”
"How can a person who dares to bring a knife and come to this Taishou Mansion at night be a good class?" The leader leaned forward, and the knife in his hand didn't know when it came out of the scabbard, and when he sent it forward, it stabbed into the human body like tofu.
In an instant, blood gushed out from the wound, and the janitor snorted, and the whole person fell down softly, and there was no sound.
This scene was seen by everyone who followed behind, and in the face of such a bloody scene, no one said a word, let alone raised any objections. They came today with swords, because they were meant to fight with others. This kind of scene is only the beginning, and there will be a few more fights later, and none of them can guarantee that they will survive.
Tonight, for them, it's the biggest gamble.
"I thought it would take some effort to get into the house, but I never expected that this janitor happened to be drunk, God help me! In this way, the things that the eldest prince told us to accomplish can be done smoothly. The team leader sneered on the corner of his lips and raised his knife high, "Brothers, success or failure will be in one fell swoop, kill me!" ”
"Kill!"
The earth-shattering sound at the back door didn't attract the attention of the others, and even the guards didn't even come to take a look, because the house was on fire.
This fire also came strangely, during the day there was nothing, and at night, it burned with a bang! The fire was so fierce that it had the momentum of reaching the sky, and the surrounding courtyard was engulfed in an instant.
"Fight the fire, come and put out the fire!" The house was in a mess, and no one noticed the army that had sneaked in.
In this noisy voice, it is impossible for anyone to continue to be immersed in sleep peacefully, Luo Zhiming is like this, the first time the sound came from outside, he got out of bed and put on his clothes, and walked quickly to the door.
"What's going on?"
On weekdays, there are many people waiting in his yard, but there are few people tonight, only two small servants are still waiting outside the door. Hearing Luo Zhiming's question, the little guy hurriedly turned his head and reported: "Back to the adult, the East Garden in the house is gone, and now everyone is busy fighting the fire." Because of the lack of manpower, the steward removed all the competent people in the courtyard. Is the master going to call them all back? ”
It turned out that they were all going to put out the fire. Luo Zhiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know why, since he woke up tonight, he has always had a sense of fear in his heart, and in a trance, he seemed to expect something to happen.
Luo Zhiming wanted to break his head, but he couldn't understand where his worry came from.
He frowned tightly, and looked in the direction of the fire with burning eyes: "It's really strange, the fire prevention in the house has always been done well, why did it catch fire today?" And it's still Dongyuan? Have you found out the cause of the fire over there? ”
"I haven't had time to investigate, everyone is busy fighting fires, and now the whole house is in chaos, where can I take care of so much?"
That strange feeling has reappeared!
Luo Zhiming pressed the direction of his heart, and involuntarily glanced at the little girl's face: "Are you new here?" Why haven't I seen you before? ”
When the little guy heard this, he suddenly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The villain has been serving in the old man's courtyard for more than a year, and I think it's because the villain's appearance is too ordinary, so the old man can't remember it." ”
Luo Zhiming raised his eyebrows slightly, he really didn't have any impression of this little guy.
However, Luo Zhiming didn't take this matter to heart, there are hundreds of people in the house, and the subordinates account for most of them, if he is asked to remember the face of every subordinate, I don't know how to remember the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, maybe things are just like what this little guy said, just because of his ordinary appearance, so he didn't remember it. Luo Zhiming turned around: "Since there is a shortage of manpower over there, you can also go over to help." ”
"The steward ordered his subordinates to stay and serve the master......."
It seems that although this guy has been serving in the mansion for more than a year, he is still a stunned young man. The words of the steward, ten sentences are not as important as the master's words, but he wants to listen! It's stupid to think about.
It was a waste of energy to talk to this kind of person, Luo Zhiming never spoke again, and went back to his room.
He didn't notice that the moment he turned around, the little guy who was still pretending to be stunned just now suddenly had a meaningful smile on the corner of his lips, and his eyes looked at his back as if he were staring at his prey.
Mrs. was also in the room at this time, she tossed for so long during the day today, she was naturally sleepy, and now she heard the noise outside, and woke up as soon as possible, but she didn't go out to check the situation, and when she saw Luo Zhiming turn back, she asked puzzledly: "Master, what's going on outside?" ”
Hearing Luo Zhiming: "It's on fire, but it's in Dongyuan, far away from here, the steward has already organized people to go over to put out the fire, presumably it won't take long to be fine." You've been tired of Lian'er's business today, so let's rest first. ”
The two have been together for many years, and Luo Zhiming still has some feelings for her.
However, Madame was not in the mood to be happy with his concern, and her mind was full of Luo Lian'er's business. Thinking that his daughter was still so young, he asked the white-haired person to send the black-haired person, and suddenly felt sad.
Tears slid down like pearls of broken thread.
Luo Zhiming felt distressed and had a headache: "Don't cry, there will always be a way to do this." ”
"The old man kept saying that there would be a way, but he couldn't see where the way came from! Lian'er's health was not good, she tossed so much during the day, she was already terrible, and now she has been poisoned again, and she doesn't know how long she can last it. She is still so young, pampered for many years, where has she ever suffered like this! ”
Seeing that he was about to be blamed again, Luo Zhiming hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered: "It's useless for you to be angry at me, she ate the things herself!" ”
"That'...... That's just Lian'er's confusion for a while! ”
During the day today, not long after Gong Ao left, Luo Lian'er woke up from her sleep, and the two asked her about the cause of the poisoning, but they never expected that the poison was actually eaten by herself! She asked the maid to go to the kitchen and ask for the leftover pastries from yesterday and ate some!
Because she was weak, she couldn't be stimulated the most at this time, so neither of them dared to tell her the truth of the matter, and only let her recuperate well, without mentioning a word else.
Afterwards, Luo Zhiming was annoyed when he thought of it: "I really owe her in my last life!" ”
Just when the two people in the room were arguing about Luo Lian'er's affairs, and even began to quarrel, there was a sudden sound of panicked footsteps outside, and a piercing scream: "Who are you-"
Before the sound of the questioning could be finished, it stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
This unusual noise was really frightened enough for Mrs. Luo, so she rushed directly behind Luo Zhiming and hid.
In fact, Luo Zhiming was also flustered, but after all, he was a person who had seen the world, and he could barely calm himself down: "What happened outside?" ”
No one answered, only footsteps getting closer.
"Who the hell is out there!" In order to hide the fear in his heart, Luo Zhiming could only choose to increase the volume, and this time, he finally got a response from the person outside.
"Father, it's me."
There was a creak, and the door slowly pushed open.
A familiar figure greeted him, standing in the doorway, silently looking at the two people in the room like a statue.
It's Luo Yu! Luo Zhiming just wanted to break his head, but he didn't expect that the person who came at this time turned out to be him, frowned slightly, and showed anger: "Didn't I let you stay in your own yard and don't go?" Why did you come out of the room? Are you not taking my words seriously at all? ”
