Chapter Ninety-Nine: Midnight Attack

The night of Chang'an City is silent, and the wind at night in winter is even more cold, blowing through the empty streets, in this weather, even Jin Wuwei, who patrols the city at night, changes shifts more frequently, and wears heavy gold armor on his body to patrol outside, and then comes back, it is already frozen.

At night, the hall on the first floor of the Xuanwu Embrace will always be lit up, leaving a group of people to keep vigil.

The guy was lying behind the counter to take a nap, it was a cold day, in the lobby, but he couldn't sleep deeply, half-asleep and half-awake, but he heard some movement outside the door, so frightened that the guy woke up all of a sudden, walked out of the counter, arrived at the door, and looked around.

Except for Jin Wuwei, who had just patrolled the entire street, there was no one to be seen, and the guy shook his head and shook his head.

Maybe I misheard.

Looking at the weather outside, a bright moon hung in the air, and it was almost fifteen, and the bluestone slabs on the illuminated streets reflected a faint light. The man began to close the lobby, then went to the door, and after checking that the door was closed tightly, the man went back to the back of the counter, and now that it was late at night, he could lie down on the two wide stools behind the counter and sleep for a while.

One of the rooms on the fourth floor of Xuanwu's house was still brightly lit, and Qian Lai was looking through the account books of the Hou Mansion this year.

As a businessman, Qian Lai was born with a fanaticism for the ledger, and even if it was so late, he didn't feel sleepy at all when he saw the ledger in his hand.

He also wanted to see how far his son, who had not seen him for so many years, had grown.

"Dad, it's so late, I'll see it tomorrow, it's the same." Qian Dui persuaded that his father's current age is not what it used to be, and he is still looking through the account books in the middle of the night, which is obviously not good for his health.

"It's different, tomorrow there will be last year's account books." Qian said: "Son, my father knows that he is old, and you have learned ten out of ten of your father's skills, and you can't compare with your father's experience." ”

Qian Lai handed the ledger to the money pile: "Look at this batch of goods"

The money pile was yawning, and when he heard the words of the money, he wiped his nose and rubbed his sour eyes, and took the account book that the money handed over: "What's wrong with this batch of goods?" ”

"The caravan on the house is going to the Western Regions, and it has to pass through the desert, so the consumable materials to be carried will account for a large part of the people!" Qian Lai quickly got up and walked from the bookcase to the window behind the money pile.

Under the flickering candle just now, Qian Lai looked up inadvertently and did see that there seemed to be someone outside.

Qian Lai also followed Qian Lai to the window, and glanced at his father, and then Qian Lai retreated to the back, and Qian Lai suddenly pushed the window out.

"No one?" Qian Lai walked over to the pile of money and looked outside.

As soon as the window opened, a gust of cold wind poured in, and this blow made the money pile much sober, and the father and son looked at each other.

"That's not right!" Qian Lai shouted, and then went out the door.

"Daddy!" The pile of money followed behind Qian Lai, and ran to the fifth floor with Qian Lai.

"Don't follow me, call someone quickly! There's a thief in the building! Qian Lai shouted.

Long'er also lives on the fourth floor, Qian Lai shouted like this, Long'er also woke up from her sleep, heard the sound of money going upstairs outside, quickly got up and put on her coat, took the long knife placed under the bed and rushed out of the room.

Gao Jun in the next room didn't even wear a coat, so he rushed to the fifth floor directly in his middle coat.

Qian Lai ran up to the fifth floor, and happened to see a few black-clothed people rummaging through Xuan Shijing's room, with many books and papers scattered on the ground.

Although I saw someone in the lobby on the first floor when I came, but a guy, in the eyes of these people in black, did they all look the same, saw Qian Lai come upstairs, several people in black looked at each other, one of them took out the short knife on his waist, and ran directly towards Qian Lai, and the rest of the people hurried up and continued to rummage.

"Dad, be careful!" Seeing this, the money pile hurriedly pounced and pushed the money away, and he relied on the kung fu of the two, three and three-legged cats to wrestle with the man in black.

This time, the people sent by King Jing's Mansion are all masters in the palace, how could it be that a half-person like Qian Dui can be able to defeat him, as soon as he fought, Qian Dui was thrown aside by the man in black in front of him.

At this time, Gao Jun had already gone up to the fifth floor, and then relied on his light body to maneuver with the man in black, and Long'er also joined the battle.

Different from Gao Jun's bare hands, Long'er's knife technique is passed down from the sword king Zhong Zishuo, and the kung fu in his hands is naturally not comparable to people like Gao Jun who are good at activities on the beam.

The short knife in the assassin's hand was very bad against the long knife in Shang Long'er's hand, and the space on the fifth floor was very large, and in such an environment, it was naturally an inch long and an inch strong.

The rest of the black-clothed people saw that there were many people on Long'er's side, so they put down what they were doing and joined the battle.

In an instant, the battle situation became one-sided.

There are only four people on Long'er's side, it can be said that two of them don't know martial arts, and one is not good at fighting people head-on, leaving Long'er alone, struggling to support.

There was such a big movement on the fifth floor, and the third floor could naturally hear it, and for a while, the people guarding the Hou Mansion in Xuanwu's arms all took weapons and rushed up to the fifth floor, there were more than ten people, who could be selected by the money to send to Chang'an, and the kung fu in their hands would naturally not be weak.

These people are all guards of the Hou Mansion who were arranged in Daozheng Fang, and they would take turns guarding Xuanwu every night.

As soon as I came up, I saw that the boss lady and Gao Jun had already fought with those people, and quickly joined the battle.

The pile of money standing on the side felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that something was missing.

Gao Jun and Long'er have come up, what about Shi Hu?

"Gao Jun! Where did Shi Hu go? The money pile asked loudly.

Hearing this, Gao Jun made a move at hand, reacted and quickly withdrew from the battle: "He lived in the backyard tonight, saying that he was repairing the carriage by the way." ”

"Backyard!" Qian Dui woke up suddenly, this group of people was obviously not good, and they went up to the fifth floor, how could they let go of the backyard.

"Gao Jun, you hurry up to the backyard to see how the situation is on Shi Hu's side, and find an opportunity to hurry up to Daozheng Fang and call someone over! Fast! The money pile shouted.

Gao Jun nodded, rushed straight to the window, jumped out of the window, and landed lightly on the tiles on the fourth floor, and then jumped down layer by layer and landed in the backyard.

The backyard was as expected by the pile of money, Shi Hu had already put the two people who had touched the backyard on the ground, and sat on the two people in a daze.

"Gao Jun, you came just in time, these two turtle grandsons, sneaked into the yard, and I caught them!" As he spoke, he kicked the person under his ass. (To be continued.) )
