Chapter 33: The Hand in the Shadows
Da Bao abandoned the man in black who had lost his breath and began to attack the person in front of Erbao, and the rest of the people saw it and quickly took the opportunity to outflank Long'er and Xuan Shijing.
Long'er protected Xuan Shijing behind her, and put on a posture of facing the battle at any time, but in her heart, she hoped that the people in the mansion would hurry over, after all, Long'er was only a fourteen-year-old daughter, she had been living in the Hou Mansion, and she had no experience in fighting, so she could barely drag the two people, but what should the remaining two people do.
Xuan Shijing was not nervous, and looked coldly at the three people who had outflanked him, Dabao's previous roar should have been a signal to the people in the mansion...... The effect of raising two tigers to take care of the home is still good.
Sure enough, as Xuan Shijing expected, a person turned out of the air and slapped a palm on one of the people who surrounded Xuan Shijing, and Long'er also attacked the other person.
Xuan Shijing can be regarded as really seeing Long'er's kung fu today, one person against the two assassins opposite, without falling behind at all, this is still in the case of no weapons in her hand, and then looking at the other person, Xuan Shijing couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out to be Uncle Xiang. This Uncle Xiang usually looks like a kind old man, but he didn't expect that he was also a hidden person, and he fought with the assassin to make a fatal move.
"Uncle Xiang, stay alive." Xuan Shijing was born and reminded: "Long'er, you are too." β
Uncle Xiang knocked the assassin unconscious with a palm, and then flew to Long'er's side and helped Long'er stun the two.
Look at Dabao Erbao's side again, the person who Erbao pounced on before was already dead, Erbao missed a blow, and was killed by Dabao who rushed over by biting him on the neck. Looking at Dabao again, Dabao was walking towards the depths of the garden with the chicken leg given to him by Xuan Shijing, while Erbao was licking his paws in place, looking very concerned about the assassin's blood staining his paws.
Xuan Shijing saw the two dead people lying there, his little face turned white for a while, and he endured the discomfort and said: "Uncle Xiang, find someone to deal with it, tie up these three people, and send them to my study, I want to ask carefully, who is so annoying, and the big New Year without injustice and hatred will not let people live in peace, Long'er, come to the study with me." β
"Yes." Long'er nodded.
"By the way, bring Erbao to my study as well." Xuan Shijing turned around and said.
Long'er took Erbao and followed behind Xuan Shijing to the study, and as soon as Xuan Shijing sat down on the couch, Gao Jun escorted an assassin into the study. Seeing that Xuan Shijing was sitting on the main seat, Erbao was honestly lying beside Xuan Shijing, with his head resting on Xuan Shijing's lap.
"Gao Jun, where did you die, how did you put these people in the mansion?" Before Xuan Shijing could speak, Long'er preached at Gao Jun.
Gao Jun scratched his head a little embarrassed: "It's not my fault, I stopped three people at the door, I didn't expect them to be so many." β
"What about the man?" Long'er asked.
"Both. It's all gone, Long'er, you know, I'm not good at fighting. Gao Jun was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, Gao Jun also tried his best, by the way, what about Uncle Xiang?" Xuan Shijing asked, helping Erbao take care of the fur that he had just messed up just now.
"Uncle Xiang looked at the other two people in the firewood room, and said that he would let Master Hou interrogate them one by one, so that he could ask for some useful information." Before Gao Jun could finish speaking, the door of the study was pushed open again.
Wang walked in with Xiao Huan, with a little anger and worry on his face.
"Jing'er, are you alright?" Wang walked to the front of the case and looked Xuan Shijing up and down carefully.
"Mother, don't worry, Jing'er is fine, anyway, this time thanks to Dabao Erbao, the time was delayed, so I waited until Uncle Xiang came over." Xuan Shijing said.
Seeing that Xuan Shijing was fine, Wang's heart was relieved, and he turned his head to the assassin who was kneeling on the ground by Gao Jun and asked sharply, "Say, who sent you to assassinate?" Assassinating the nobles of the dynasty, it can be seen that this is a capital crime! β
The Assassin, kneeling on the ground, snorted coldly and did not reply.
Wang frowned: "It seems that you don't want to live, in that case, Gao Jun, take it down and deal with it, without him, aren't there still two locked up in the firewood room?" The Hou Mansion killed a few assassins, and Yushi had nothing to say. β
"Yes." Gao Jun nodded.
The assassin kneeling on the ground didn't expect that the Wang family would decide his fate so lightly, let alone that this time he would kick it on the iron plate, which turned out to be the mansion of the noble, which made him tremble: "Madame, spare your life, I say." β
Wang sneered, it seems that these people are not some kind of people: "Okay, you say, say it, we won't kill you." β
The assassin said: "Actually, we don't know who is going to deal with the Hou Mansion, our brothers were originally bandits on Lishan Mountain, and then the village was leveled by the army, and our brothers wanted to come to Chang'an to do things, begging for food, I don't know who found out that we used to be a bandit, so they promised us, as long as we help him do things, it will make us worry about food and clothing, and a lot of silver, we were moved, so we listened to the man's order, and fought under the man's hands for a while, and the man has nothing to tell us." ,We have been idle,I only received news a few days ago,Said to kidnap the little son of a big family in Chang'an City,There will be a good reward after the fact,Our brother is from this line,Think about it carefully,The little son of the big family did tie up to receive a lot of ransom,That is, I took the job,The man only gave us the map,We didn't know that this is the Hou Mansionγ β
Xuan Shijing, who was sitting on the couch, frowned, and after talking for a long time, there was no important information at all, but it was clear that they were coming for themselves, thinking about it carefully, they didn't offend anyone, as for sending eight people to kidnap themselves?
Wang was also a little puzzled: "Jing'er doesn't leave the house on weekdays, and he hasn't made any enemies, why did someone hit him with an idea?" Gao Jun, this matter is handed over to you, these three people are also handed over to you, be sure to find out, Jing'er's safety, there must be no mistakes, and I can't wait for the first month, I will send a letter to Erxian Zhuang tomorrow, and all the good hands in Zhuangzi will be dispatched, I want to see who wants to murder Jing'er. Saying this, a murderous aura burst out from Wang's body, which made everyone in the room frightened.
"Madam, what the little one should say has been said, please spare your life." The assassin who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly begged for mercy, just now he seemed to hear Shanxi Erxianzhuang, that is the chief scoop on the green forest road, it's over, this time it's a mess with someone who shouldn't be messed with, and the road won't be able to mix in the future.
"Mother." Xuan Shijing, who was sitting on the couch, patted Erbao's head, Erbao got up, squatted on the side, Xuan Shijing got up and came to Wang's side: "I think these three people also have some kung fu foundation, this is the New Year, don't make more trouble, in this way, let them stay in the outer courtyard of the Hou Mansion as a handyman, how about it?" Xuan Shijing said as he gestured towards Gao Jun.
Gao Jun didn't know what Xuan Shijing's look meant, whether he wanted to keep them, or ......
"What Jing'er said makes sense, the Chinese New Year is indeed a little unlucky, so I listened to Jing'er, Gao Jun, you and Uncle Xiang arranged to arrange these three people, if you find out that you have bad intentions, you will be killed on the spot!" The Wang family usually looks like a housewife with a kind attitude, but once the matter is related to Xuan Shijing, especially in personal safety, she does not dare to be sloppy at all.
"Yes." Gao Jun replied, and then escorted the assassin out of the study.
"Jing'er, you're frightened today, take a good rest, Long'er, be sure to protect Jing'er." Wang instructed.
"Madame, please rest assured." Long'er replied.
Wang nodded, for Long'er, Wang was still relieved, looked at Erbao with some curiosity, and then left the study with Xiao Huan.
Seeing the Wang family leaving, Xuan Shijing hurriedly said: "Long'er, hurry up to find Gao Jun and tell him that those three people are like ordinary handymen, let them work in the front yard, and keep an eye on them secretly, they are still staying in the Hou Mansion, if the people behind them are aimed at me, they will definitely send someone to contact them." β
"It's still Hou Ye who is smart." Long'er's eyes lit up, it turned out that the little marquis had this idea, and then hurriedly ran out of the study to find Gao Jun.
