Chapter 48: Traps and Killing Intent
"What do you mean, Master?" asked the butler in alarm.
Li Wusheng hid behind Xu An and pointed at Xu An, signaling you not to ask me, go ask him?
"Who sent you?" asked Xu An.
"I've been in the house for a few years, why do you ask?"
"I'm most annoyed by you people, you guys, you can't be hard-mouthed. Xu An shook his head, not wanting to talk nonsense with him, so he picked up his chopsticks and stabbed forward.
Li Wusheng immediately covered his eyes when he saw this scene.
But after a while, he didn't hear any movement, Li Wusheng slowly lowered his hands, and his eyes showed a slit to see what was going on.
The housekeeper in front of him was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and a layer of sweat the size of a bean appeared on his forehead, and he looked at Xu An in front of him in a panic.
Xu An's chopsticks did not stab the housekeeper, but stopped in mid-air, Xu An frowned and was thinking about something.
The butler didn't dodge when the chopsticks stabbed forward just now?
"Why don't you hide?" Xu An asked suspiciously.
"I'm a housekeeper, not a nurse, how can I get out of the way?" said the housekeeper, sitting on the ground and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Hearing this, Xu An began to wonder, is this really just an ordinary person?
Xu An didn't know if there was poison in the water, and he didn't know if the food was poisoned, but out of caution, he and Li Wusheng didn't use the food.
Because this mansion is very strange, this housekeeper is also very strange, it is difficult to find a mansion with lights still on in this small city at this hour, but the two of them have such a mansion as soon as they enter the city.
When Li Wusheng knocked on the door, Xu An carefully calculated the time, and the time for the housekeeper to open the door was too fast, making people feel that he was deliberately waiting for him to knock on the door.
And according to his past experience, the appearance of the housekeeper is basically the same, and a relatively strong man like this does not look like a housekeeper no matter who looks at it.
Although Xu An didn't know what the attitude of the people of the Wuqing Empire towards monks was, in the face of Li Wusheng's obscene appearance, he knew at a glance that he was not an orthodox monk, this housekeeper was still unusually polite, and how did he know that the two of them had never eaten?
Xu An knew that his road back to the capital would not be peaceful, and those who didn't want to return to the capital by themselves should also know their strength, so naturally they would not easily send people to intercept him head-on, so using poison might become the best choice.
What is more troublesome is that Xu An does not understand drugs, he can only judge where there is danger by whether it is reasonable or not, in his opinion, what happened in this mansion is very unreasonable.
So Xu An stabbed a chopstick without hesitation, just to force him to do it, but he didn't hide? Falling to the ground is a normal action for ordinary people in the face of danger, Xu An doesn't think that the housekeeper in front of him is risking his life, is it really that he guessed wrong?
"That's right, someone wants to harm us, so be cautious, and I hope the housekeeper will forgive us. Xu An explained.
"Someone wants to harm you, and even then you don't need to do this, how can I be so tempting when I have taken you in kindly?" said the butler, standing up and complaining.
"Life is bigger than the sky, I am really helpless, if you are offended, please bear with me, bear with me. Xu An said with a smile.
"It's a good idea to say that life is bigger than the sky, just don't hurt people by mistake. The butler patted the dust off his body and continued.
"That's what the butler said. Xu An continued.
The housekeeper didn't have the heart to clean up the food anymore at this time, so he turned around and was about to go out of the room.
"The butler stays. Xu An shouted as he looked at the back of the housekeeper leaving.
"What else is the matter?" asked the butler, turning to him.
"This..."Xu An took a pair of chopsticks, looked at the food on the table and made a gesture of please.
"I said that you are not very old, how can you be cautious, I have been kind enough to take you in, but you always think that I am going to harm you. When the housekeeper saw Xu An's movements, he naturally understood what he meant, and the food on the table was not touched, making it clear that he didn't believe in himself.
The housekeeper walked to the table and took a bite of the chopsticks in Xu An's hand.
"Don't worry, don't choke, sir. Xu An poured a glass of water and put it on the table and said.
The housekeeper shook his head, he naturally knew that Xu An was not afraid that he would choke, but that he was afraid that the water would also be poisoned, so he took the glass of water that Xu An poured and drank it.
There wasn't much food on the table, so he quickly tried them all, then put down his chopsticks and asked, "I don't know if you two have any questions." ”
"No problem, no problem, okay, Lord Housekeeper, hurry back and rest. Xu An said with a smile.
"We were kind enough to take it in, but the two of us were so chilling. If it's late today, it's hard for the two of you to find a place to go, so let's leave as soon as you finish breakfast tomorrow. The butler sighed lightly.
"Yes, yes, the housekeeper walks slowly. Xu An still said with a smile.
The housekeeper left, and only Xu An and the others were left in the house.
"I told you not to be so careful, you see, the food is cold. Li Wusheng looked at the table full of food and complained, he was about to move the chopsticks just now when he was interrupted by Xu An, and now it seems that there is no problem at all.
"You know. After the housekeeper left, Xu An carefully sensed it for a while, and only said it after finding that there was no one outside.
"Everyone has eaten it just now, what else can I ask for?" Li Wusheng asked puzzled.
"Of course, there is nothing wrong with this meal. Xu An shook his head and said.
"No problem?" Li Wusheng heard this, and even more didn't understand what Xu An meant.
"There was no problem with the meal, it was edible. Xu An returned.
"I just said no, I'm hungry. Li Wusheng heard Xu An say that there was no problem, so he began to devour it.
"They were kind enough to take us in, but you almost killed him just now, guilty of sin. Li Wusheng chewed the food in his mouth and muttered indistinctly.
"Good intentions? I don't believe there are such kind people in this world. Xu An said with a chuckle.
"What do you mean? Didn't you say there was no problem?" Li Wusheng's eating posture stopped instantly, I had already eaten, and you told me this at this time? No wonder he didn't move his chopsticks.
"What's the panic, I told you that this table of food is no problem, it's no problem, just eat your well. Xu An glanced at Li Wusheng with some disdain, then picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
"Is there really no problem?" Li Wusheng was still a little uneasy, and then asked.
"Why? I look like a man who wants to die?"
Hearing this, Li Wusheng began to relax his heart, Xu An is not afraid of himself, what is he afraid of? But Xu An's not being afraid really doesn't mean that he is not afraid, but he has eaten everything, and there is nothing else he can do if he is afraid.
"Then what do you mean by what you just said?" asked Li Wusheng as he ate.
"There's a problem with this mansion, there's a problem with that butler. ”
"Didn't you say it's okay? Li Wusheng finally couldn't help it when he heard this.
"I said that there was no problem with the food, and I didn't say that the housekeeper was fine. ”
"What's the problem?"
"What would you do if two people you don't know came to your house and something like this happened at night?"
"It's up to me to beat him. ”
"What if you can't beat it, and what if you can beat it?" asked Xu An with a smile.
"If you can't beat him, you can just blast him out, and if you can beat him, you will beat him up, and then blast him out. Li Wusheng swallowed the food in his mouth and said.
"So, even if this happens, the housekeeper still lets them stay, and that's the problem. ”
"He's still going to hurt us?"
"Of course, I don't believe he could be so kind. ”
"But since there's no problem with the meal, when are they going to do it?"
"Think about what he said before he left. ”
"Tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, it seems that you are not stupid. ”
"I still don't understand, isn't it better to do it now than in the morning?"
"It's really easier to do it at night, and you have to be able to do it, even if you're hungry all night, nothing will happen, and they're not sure we're going to eat them, so the food isn't poisoned, so it's to dispel our guards. ”
"It's just your speculation, you don't have proof. Li Wusheng thought for a while and said, after all, the housekeeper looked like a good person, even if he was misunderstood, he didn't lose his temper, how could such a person hurt others?
"I don't need evidence to do things, because it's too difficult to find evidence, and I don't bother to look for it. Xu An said lightly.
"It's really unreasonable. ”
"Be reasonable, even if it's not good to find a place to go at night, out of consideration for the two of us, why do you deliberately leave the two of us to have breakfast tomorrow before leaving?" Xu An asked.
"Reasonable, what are you going to do?" Li Wusheng suddenly realized after thinking about it carefully, he thought that the other party was polite for the sake of being a monk, but after listening to Xu An's words, he also began to feel that something was wrong.
"If it was before, I might have slept here and choose to leave early tomorrow morning, but now I'm in a bad mood, I want to kill!" Xu An said with his eyes narrowed slightly.
There was no murderous aura coming out of Xu An's body, but Li Wusheng knew that he really wanted to kill, so he didn't dare to talk much, just ate honestly.
"Will something happen in the Wuqing Empire?" asked after a while.
"Of course something will happen, the local government will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, they will find out that these people are not from the Wuqing Empire, and their bodies will be sent to Beiyang City soon. Xu An said.
"Will something happen to Beiyang City?" Li Wusheng then asked.
"Even if the body is sent to Beiyang City, no one dares to claim it, so naturally nothing will happen. ”
"That's fine. Li Wusheng said with a sigh of relief.
"You're worried that something will happen to Beiyang City?"
"My family is in Beiyang City, so naturally I don't want anything to happen to that city. Li Wusheng said while eating.
"I didn't expect that a person like you who is afraid of death also has any feelings for his family and country, which is really ironic. ”
Xu An smiled self-deprecatingly, he was originally full of killing intent and was about to overflow, but at this moment, it seemed that those killing intent had disappeared.
