It was already late at night, but Li Zhang couldn't fall asleep over and over, the raccoon dog and the bean all lived in the yard next to the earlier shop, and Lu Wu also sent a lot of officials to guard, and only Li Zhang, wild dog and Lu Wu lived in the courtyard of the braised meat shop, because Lu Wu was worried that the ghost beggars who ambushed them would not give up, so they made these arrangements.

The wild dog slept in the inner room, although he was injured, but his breathing was long and powerful, Lu Wu slept in the outer room, his injuries were not light, and he could still hold on during the day, but at this time it was a snoring sound, but even when he was sleeping, he still held his waist knife tightly in his hand.

Li Zhang didn't sleep, and he didn't dare to sleep, after all, no one knew if the ghost beggars would kill them, although the surrounding sewers were blocked, but it was still not safe, otherwise Lu Wu would not be so close to the enemy, originally he wanted to invite a few helpers to come over, but it was too late today, and the helpers probably couldn't come, so they could only rely on themselves tonight.

As the only person who was not injured, Li Zhang could only stand on the window and look out, if there was really a ghost beggar attacking, Li Zhang would also warn in time, but Lu Wu was injured, although the officials in the yamen were in the courtyard next to them, but they usually relied on people to catch a thief, if they really let them fight with some bandits, I'm afraid it is a little unreliable.

Originally, Lu Wu wanted to arrange the wild dogs in the yamen, but the yamen was too far away from the medical hall, and the injuries of the wild dogs were not suitable for long journeys, and Li Zhang was not at ease at home, after all, those ghost beggars did not have any bottom line, since they could trap the wild dogs, maybe they also had some information related to wild dogs, so he was really afraid that these ghost beggars would kill at home.

Lu Wu also had the same worries, and finally the two discussed it and decided to carry the wild dog back to Li Zhang's side, so that it would be convenient for Li Zhang to take care of it, and although Lu Wu was injured, he still had the strength to fight, and the curfew in Tokyo City was very strict, as long as he could hold on for a while, he could attract the forbidden troops patrolling the streets.

Thinking of the above arrangements, Li Zhang was also a little relieved, and he was not completely unprepared, but time was limited, and he didn't know whether his preparations were effective, so now he could only resign himself to fate.

It was already late at night, and Li Zhang also felt a wave of sleepiness coming, but he pinched his thigh from time to time, forcing himself to stay awake, and his red eyes kept staring out of the window, but there was no moon today, and there were no street lights in this era, making it dark outside, even if his eyes were open, he couldn't see anything clearly.

In this way, until the second half of the night, Li Zhang felt that his eyes were almost unable to open, so he grabbed a handful of things and stuffed them into his mouth, and woke up immediately with a sudden bite, and his mouth was also bitter and numb, this thing was the pepper that Li Zhang had prepared a long time ago.

At that moment, Li Zhang spit out the peppercorns, and his mind immediately sobered up, and then he drank some water and continued to stare outside, but at this moment, Li Zhang suddenly heard a soft sound in the courtyard, as if something fell to the ground from a height, but the sound was very soft, if it wasn't for Li Zhang's concentration, I am afraid he wouldn't have heard it at all.

Hearing this soft sound, Li Zhang also immediately became alert, staring at the courtyard with wide eyes, but soon found that two points of green light were approaching their small building, which made Li Zhang immediately think of the eyes of wild dogs at night, which made him nervous all of a sudden.

At that moment, Li Zhang just wanted to wake up Lu Wu, but suddenly thought of the wild dog's extremely sensitive hearing, if the other party has the ability to use the night vision of a wild dog, does it also mean that the other party's hearing is also extremely sensitive, as long as he moves, the other party will be on guard, and the trap he set is likely to lose its effect.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang also resisted the impulse in his heart, staring motionlessly at the two points of green light that were getting closer and closer in the courtyard, while Lu Wu next to him was still snoring like thunder, and it was estimated that this would also greatly reduce the vigilance of the other party.

The other party's movements were very fast, and they came downstairs in the blink of an eye, and the stairs on the second floor were outside, and with a soft sound of "bang", the other party also stepped on the first step, after all, the stairs were wooden, and even if the movements were light, they would make some noises.

However, although there was a voice, the other party may be a master of art and bold, and then there was no pause in his footsteps, but he sped up and went upstairs, Li Zhang also clenched his fists nervously at this time, his palms were full of sweat, and at the same time he was silently reciting the numbers in his heart.

"One, two, three, four......" And when Li Zhang silently recited "nine" in his heart, he only heard a loud "bang" on the stairs, followed by a terrible scream, which made Li Zhang hurriedly yell: "Uncle Wu! ”

In fact, there is no need for Li Zhang to shout, when the other party's screams sounded, Lu Wu jumped up with a knife, and then rushed downstairs, Li Zhang also hurriedly lit the lantern, and then reached out of the window to help Lu Wu illuminate, I saw that at this time Lu Wu was entangled with a guy who was white, the other party was obviously injured, one hand covered his face while screaming and blocking, but fortunately Lu Wu was injured and weak, otherwise he would have fallen long ago.

The movement in the courtyard here also alarmed the officials in the courtyard next to him, and immediately several officials jumped over the wall and wanted to help Lu Wu catch each other, but the injured guy immediately turned around and ran away when he heard that there were more and more people around him, but his eyes seemed to be invisible, and he actually hit the wall headlong, but then he jumped over the wall and ran away as soon as he turned over.

Lu Wu wanted to chase, but the fight just now had already consumed all his strength, and even the wounds on his body were broken, and he could only pant with a knife at the moment, and several officials chased after him, but this black light was blind, and they didn't have Lu Wu's ability, even if they caught up, they might not be able to keep each other.

"Uncle Wu, how's the situation?" Li Zhang went downstairs with a lantern at this time, and covered his nose when he walked to the middle of the stairs, because there was a choking smell of quicklime on the stairs, this was a simple mechanism he set up on the stairs, as long as the other party went upstairs, the mechanism would be triggered, and he had specially asked Lu Wu to know the height of the other party, so the lime powder was almost slapped on the other party's face, although this method was a bit inferior, but in order to save his life, he couldn't care about it.

"You use lime to plot against each other?" Lu Wu frowned at this time and said, he was almost out of strength after he came back, and he fell asleep immediately when he lay down, so he didn't know about the mechanism set up by Li Zhang.

"yes, I think the effect is good, the other party's eyes should be injured, right?" Li Zhang asked with a smile, the other party has the ability to have night vision like a wild dog, Li Zhang once asked a wild dog, knowing that although he can see at night, but he can't see as clearly as during the day, so he used a rope to set up a mechanism on the stairs, don't underestimate the lime, the late Qing Dynasty hero Ma Yongzhen was superb in martial arts, and defeated foreign strongmen in a row, but in the end he was plotted with lime, resulting in being unable to see and being hacked to death with a knife.

"Don't use this kind of indiscriminate means in the future, it's not good for your reputation to spread it!" Lu Wu frowned at this time and said, he is a principled person, and at the same time, he also has the pride of a martial artist, and he does not approve of Li Zhang's method of sprinkling lime.

"Well, I'm just here to save my life, and I won't use it again in the future!" Li Zhang agreed, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart, in his opinion, there is nothing more important than the lives of himself and his relatives and friends, as long as someone dares to threaten him and the people around him, even if it is a means to do it, he dares to use it, today is not time to prepare, otherwise it will not be such a simple lime powder.

"The other party's eyes are injured, but it shouldn't be serious, speaking of which, you are also lucky, the other party's age is not very old, he should have little experience, and he is a little careless, so he let you hurt his eyes, if you meet an experienced old Jianghu, your trick will not work at all!" Lu Wu spoke again at this time, when he fought with the other party, he felt that although the other party's eyes were injured, he was not completely invisible, and most of his killing moves were dodged by the other party.

Li Zhang was also shocked when he heard this, he thought that after the other party's eyes entered the lime, even if he survived, his eyes would be useless, so that he would not have to worry about the other party's retaliation in the future, but he didn't expect that the other party's eyes were not seriously injured, if he waited until the other party healed his injuries, I am afraid that he would have to sleep and eat.

"But for the time being, you don't have to worry too much, the other party was stabbed a few times by me, and the injury is not light, it is estimated that it will take at least a few months." Lu Wu spoke again at this time,

Li Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but then he was a little worried, although his identity was about to be revealed, and he could hire a few bodyguards as an official at that time, but there were too many people around him, and the other party could completely start from the people around him, and there was only a thousand days to be a thief, there was no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and there was such a strong martial arts enemy staring at him in secret, which always made him feel very uncomfortable.

Lu Wu was also very tired at this time, Li Zhang immediately helped him upstairs to rest, and after a while, a few officials who chased him out also came back, as expected, he didn't catch up at all, Li Zhang didn't care, but quietly took some money and gave it to a few officials, after all, he couldn't let the family work hard in vain.

At this time, it was almost dawn, and Li Zhang helped Lu Wu deal with the broken wound again, but at this moment, he only heard a sound in the bedroom, which made Li Zhang also happy, and immediately rushed into the bedroom to take a look, and sure enough, he found that the wild dog had woken up. The guy who was hurt in the eye by him obviously has a deep connection with the wild dog, and he doesn't want to be stared at by such a master all the time, and if you want to get rid of the other party, you must know the origin of the other party, and at the same time figure out why the other party wants to kill the wild dog?
