Chapter 1120: Moonlit Night Terror
Everyone in the world knows that the Big Dipper is the cadre under Ximen Shenhou, and the rivers and lakes often regard the Big Dipper as one.
But the Big Dipper is actually doing its own job, how many people are in the Shenhou Mansion, and few people know it, but like Qu Xiaocang and Han Tianxiao, the pillars of the Shenhou Mansion, everyone will have a group of subordinates under their hands.
Jiang Yi is a henchman under Qu Xiaocang, and his ability is outstanding among many people under Qu Xiaocang.
He took two people near Han Tianxiao's residence, no one could find their traces, and he also knew that Han Tianxiao and Qu Xiaocang had a good friendship on weekdays, Qu Xiaocang ordered him to come to protect Han Tianxiao's safety, he was naturally conscientious, and did not let go of everyone who was close to Han Tianxiao's house.
It's just that this street and alley are deserted, and there are even fewer people who are close to Han Tianxiao's residence, after dark, Jiang Yi went directly to the roof, and under his nose was a deep alley, which was at the back door of Han Tianxiao's residence.
Jiang Yi has been on an errand in the Shenhou Mansion for many years, tracking and monitoring is his forte, and he knows very well in his heart that if someone really wants to be unfavorable to Han Tianxiao, he will not enter through the front door, and will often sneak in through the back door, so he will personally take charge of monitoring the back door.
Lying prone on the roof, the surroundings were cold and terrible, Jiang Yi knew that when Ximen Wuxian chose a place to live here to house Han Tianxiao's mother, it was to let the old man be quiet and not let there be noisy sounds around.
He will carry a rice ball to eat, for him, a rice ball is enough for his physical strength to support for a long time, the newcomers who are selected to enter the Shenhou Mansion will undergo harsh training, hunger is one of them, and Jiang Yi has already passed that stage, even if the water and rice do not enter for two or three days, it will never make him exhausted and weak.
The moonlight is faint, the moon on the autumn night is like this season, lonely and depressed, and the cold moonlight sprinkles down, which seems to make this extremely deserted place even more cold.
Jiang Yi also knew that Qu Xiaocang's arrangement was just in case, although the Big Dipper of the Shenhou Mansion had a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, it also made a lot of enemies because of this, especially Han Tianxiao, who handled many cases for the Shenhou Mansion, and each case would make him add new enemies, so once those enemies really knew that Han Tianxiao was sick, they might not come to the door.
However, the Shenhou Mansion is still very deterrent to all factions in the rivers and lakes, and it stands to reason that no one dares to come to the door, but Qu Xiaocang has always done things without leakage, and Jiang Yi naturally knows that it makes sense in this arrangement.
In late autumn, the weather has turned cold, and every family goes to bed early, if it is not for strict training, it is difficult for a person to endure in such an extremely deserted place, but Jiang Yi has enough patience.
However, even if it is Jiang Yi, it is difficult for him to maintain a high degree of mental concentration continuously, not to mention that in this kind of cold night, it is easy to make people fall asleep.
Jiang Yi didn't fall asleep, but it was inevitable that he would lie on the roof thinking about some other things, and suddenly a very slight noise alarmed him, he immediately looked over, his face immediately changed, only to see that in the alley below, suddenly there was a shadow, the shadow was wrapped in a black robe all over his body, and he couldn't see his body clearly, Jiang Yi didn't even know when the person appeared.
He felt a pang in his heart, secretly thinking that such a strangely dressed person appeared in the middle of the night, he must not be a good person, could it be that Qu Xiaocang's worries came true, and someone really came to seek revenge? However, this is really too fast, Han Tianxiao has only just shown symptoms during the day, and he has dealt with it urgently, and even concealed it from the people of the Shenhou Mansion, there are very few people who know that Han Tianxiao is weak, how can the other party know, and dare to come to the door?
Jiang Yi held a hidden weapon in his hand, his expression was cold, his eyes were like knives, and he just waited for the shadow to sneak into the Han house, and immediately sent a signal, beckoning his companions to kill him in the house and arrest the person, and he dared to commit a crime in the capital, and the object of the crime was still the Wenqu captain of the Shenhou Mansion, Jiang Yi really admired this person's courage, and really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall.
But the shadow did not climb over the wall and enter the house at all, but slowly walked down the alley to the east, Jiang Yi frowned, he didn't know if the other party had temporarily changed his attention or there were other reasons, he was thinking about it, but suddenly found that a figure suddenly appeared on the roof diagonally opposite, like a ghost, and it was actually a cat on the roof, following the black-robed man who was heading towards the end of the alley.
Jiang Yi was shocked in his heart, the ghostly black shadow had obviously been on the roof diagonally opposite for a long time, but Jiang Yi clearly remembered that he had checked the rooftops around him before dark, and there was no one in ambush, and that person was obviously lurking after dark, but he didn't even notice it, and the other party's actions were silent, which was really terrifying.
The connoisseur watched the doorway, Jiang Yi looked at the figure of the other party, and knew that the person was not weak, definitely above himself, this time he brought two subordinates to protect Han Tianxiao, and the two were also lurking nearby, Jiang Yi concluded that the ghostly black shadow was definitely not his own person, of course, because there was no signal from his own, the two would never leave their position, and more importantly, his two brothers could not have such light skills.
Jiang Yi was shocked in his heart, but he was very suspicious, the black shadow followed the black-robed man, of course it would not be a person all the way, he thought at first that the black-robed man was here to find Han Tianxiao to seek revenge, but he just stood at the back door of Han Tianxiao's residence and left, although he did not enter the courtyard, but it was certain that the black-robed man's trip must be related to Han Tianxiao, and the black shadow chasing the black-robed man was even more strange.
Jiang Yijiang is very experienced, and he knows that if he just watched the two of them leave like this, without getting any information, it would be really difficult to explain to Qu Xiaocang when he turned around, and he got up and wanted to follow, but he thought about whether the other party knew that there was someone nearby to protect Han Tianxiao, so he wanted to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, but the situation did not seem to be the case, and he chased after him, there were still two guards here, and he did not hesitate at the moment, and quickly followed.
The ghostly black shadow was really good, and quietly followed behind the black-robed man, the black-robed man's speed was not fast, and Jiang Yi relied on his own experience to follow the black shadow from a distance.
The black-robed man didn't notice the black shadow behind him, and Jiang Yi also felt that the black shadow shouldn't have noticed that he was following behind.
Jiang Yi didn't know where the black-robed man was going, but he felt that the black-robed man had been wandering around the remote streets and alleys, as if he was deliberately trying to avoid the patrolling soldiers in the capital.
The black shadow that followed behind the black-robed man only kept his distance from the black-robed man, and it seemed that he also wanted to see where the black-robed man was going.
I walked around the capital for most of the hour, it was already midnight, and there were no pedestrians on the streets, and occasionally I saw a few beggars lying in the corner, and I didn't know if it was a beggar disciple, and the black-robed people were very cautious to avoid it.
Jiang Yi was suspicious in his heart, and at this time, he heard a sudden sound from the deserted street, Jiang Yi climbed on the roof, condescending, only to see the black-robed man standing at the mouth of the dark alley and stopped, the ghostly black shadow was against the wall, keeping a distance, he was condescending, at this time he saw a person suddenly appearing on an empty street, the person was disheveled, staggering when walking, holding a wine bag in his hand, and something was still bulging in his mouth, Jiang Yi only glanced at it, He concluded that the man must have been a drunkard.
Although there will be soldiers patrolling in the capital at night, the streets and alleys in the capital are crisscrossed, but not every street has a patrol team at all times, and most people will naturally not go out at night, but occasionally there are some drunk guys from the flower street and willow lane who run to the street, walking around in the direction, and many sleeping on the streets at night, this kind of thing is also commonplace in the capital.
The drunkard's footsteps were vain, staggering, obviously drunk, and when he walked to the mouth of the alley, he glanced at the alley by a ghost, and saw the black-robed man standing motionless at the mouth of the alley.
The drunkard may have been too drunk to be afraid, and shouted at the black-robed man, "Who are you, hiding here and being scary?" Come..... I've got wine here, you.... You call me grandpa, I.... I'll give you wine .....! ”
Jiang Yi's heart tightened, secretly thinking that the black-robed man was definitely not a good person, and this drunkard was undoubtedly asking for his own death if he provoked him at this time.
However, he is a person from the Shenhou Mansion, although he is in charge of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but he is an officialdom, so he naturally will not watch the black-robed man poison him, holding the hidden weapon in his hand, thinking that if the black-robed man really does it, he will have to come forward to stop it.
The black-robed man ignored it, turned around and walked back into the alley.
The wine strengthens people's courage, but the drunkard thought that the black-robed man was afraid, and chased him into the alley without knowing whether he was alive or dead, shouting, "Stop, don't ..... Don't go, give.... Stop .....! ”
The black-robed man really stood and turned his back to the drunkard, who stepped forward, walked behind the black-robed man, raised his hand and put it on the black-robed man's shoulder from behind, and said with a smile: "Is this dress in the middle of the night to pretend to be a ghost?" I..... I'm not afraid of ghosts, talking to you, how do you.... How to ignore people. He grabbed the black-robed man by the shoulder and tried to pull him around, but the black-robed man turned sharply and faced the drunkard.
The drunkard was originally smiling, but at this time, he was facing the face of the black-robed man, his face changed greatly, and he screamed, but he took a few steps back, stumbled under his feet, and sat on the ground with one butt, his voice was full of fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "Ghost..... Is..... What a ......! It seems that his soul is scattered, and his whole body is weak, and he is sitting on the ground and unable to move.
The black-robed man pounced forward, like a hungry wolf pounced on the drunkard, his movements were extremely fast, Jiang Yi's heart was not good, and he raised his hand suddenly, and several cold stars attacked the black-robed man like lightning.
