Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Storm and a Blizzard
In the snowy night, among the snow flakes flying obliquely, a black-clothed figure rushed out of the door.
In such a night, the black clothes of the night walker actually do not play much role, the white snow on the ground reflects the night miserably white, and the sky reflects a hue between yellow and red, so that the whole night shows a strange brightness.
Although this brightness is not as bright as the blue sky and white day, it is enough to make people see many things clearly.
Chu Feng saw that the man in black was in a long figure, but he was not very strong. The man in black wears a very professional night walking suit, this kind of clothing does not have half a point of mud and water, and the cuffs and calves are very tight, which will definitely not affect any movement. A black cloth covered the mouth, nose, and cheeks, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.
Chu Feng didn't have time to look at the eyes of the man in black, because in just a moment's effort, he had already been knocked away, and during the whole process, he only had time to take a look with the man in black, and he couldn't see clearly.
Chu Cai was a little excited, he watched the man in black rush out of the room, so he shouted, and the firewood stick in his hand was raised high and slashed down.
The man in black walked lightly and quickly, and he didn't see how to move, so he turned to the left sharply, and his right hand lit up slightly, which was the brightness of ice and snow that the dagger swayed.
The slave's eyes narrowed, and he was angry, and he no longer looked at the wall, and his strong body rushed over like a hungry tiger.
At this time, the flying snow continued, and the light and shadow on the dagger refracted a very dazzling light. Chu Cai, who hadn't reacted yet, was still full of excitement, and the firewood stick held high above his head that had not yet been chopped down was still burning, making a crackling sound, and the dim light of the fire.
The firelight shone on the face of the man in black, and there was a faint blue in his eyes.
If Chu Feng saw these eyes, he would probably be able to guess the identity of the man in black. It's just a pity that the current Chu Feng has just recovered from the impact of the man in black, stabilized his figure, and frowned to look at the comfort of the two girls.
The door was rushed open, no one was blocking it, and the snow light reflected into the room, and with the light of the small stove in the room, Chu Feng's eyes finally adapted to the intensity of the light here, and saw the figures of the two girls.
The little maid, who was called rich, seemed to be very afraid, and shrank in the corner of the bed, clutching the quilt tightly in her hand, with a panicked face.
He Runzhi had already gotten up, and the white mid-lans could not completely cover her already developed figure, and moreover, her complexion was even paler.
He Runzhi picked up the clothes next to him, and put them on for himself with trembling hands but firmly.
Outside the house, the swift and powerful explosive figure shook through the layers of flying snow, but in the next moment, he paused.
Because he suddenly saw that the dagger in the hand of the man in black had turned around, the sharp blade was withdrawn, and the handle of the dagger was used as a weapon and stabbed at Chu Cai's side waist.
The dagger can kill, and as for the handle of the dagger, at most, it will allow people to get some traces of blood stasis, and it will hurt a little, and nothing will happen.
The slave is a battle-hardened person. Whether it is the kind of chaotic war in which thousands of people kill each other, or the one-man fight on the rivers and lakes, the slaves have experienced a lot, and even a lot.
So he's calm and sober. But he rarely gets excited, and he understands the disastrous consequences of excitement.
Chu is his little master, but at the same time, he is also the person he needs to help cultivate.
The road to growth is not only smooth sailing, sometimes, a fall or a stab is very necessary.
There is a saying in the hometown of the slave that a horse that has not lost its front hooves is not really grown. Perhaps, for his little master, this night is an opportunity for him to learn to eat a trench and grow wise.
He slowed down his speed, and still maintained the figure of going to save Chu Cai, but he had already lost eighty percent of his momentum.
The slave looked at the man in black, and the man in black also raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him.
Both are very experienced people, although they met for the first time in their lives, but just one look is enough to understand each other's thoughts, so they reach a very simple but firm tacit understanding.
The man in black sent the handle of the dagger outward, stabbing it between Chu Cai's left waist and abdomen.
Chu Cai's throat let out a moan of "uh-" , and the whole person froze, and the firewood stick came out of his hand and fell into the snow in front of him, and the flames gradually became smaller, extinguished, and turned into a cloud of smoke and dust.
The slave rushed over, and his right fist slammed out, heading straight for the man in black's chest.
The man in black twisted himself in a very short distance to keep his chest out of the cage, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't completely turn his body sideways.
With a muffled thud, the slave's fist struck the man in black on the left shoulder.
But this did not cause the figure in black to stagnate, he didn't even hesitate too much, his footsteps immediately followed, bypassing the direction of the slave, deftly climbing over the courtyard wall, and soon disappeared into the wind and snow.
The slave took half a step forward to help Chu Cai, who was holding his waist and his body was shaking.
The lights in the courtyard next to him were lit, and they obviously heard the commotion here, and they all put on their coats to see.
Chu Feng walked out and saw Chu Cai half-squatting there, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly rushed forward to take a look.
"Out of the way, the man gave him the handle of the knife for a moment." Slave Road.
Being able to hear the composure in the slave's words, Chu Feng seemed to be infected a little, and eased his nervous emotions from Fang Cai. He also squatted down and looked at Chu Cai's grinning expression: "How is it?" ”
Chu Cai "hissed-" inhaled the cool air, his face was slightly distorted, and he couldn't help but reply: "What do you mean by not getting in the way!" You're poked and tried, it hurts to death! ”
"You can still shout, it seems that there is no big problem." Chu Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"What's going on! What the hell is going on? ”
The students in the courtyard next door gathered over, carrying lanterns across the half-height courtyard wall, and asked in a panic.
"There's a thief who wants to steal something, and he's been scared away." Chu Feng stood up and approached those students, "We also rushed over after hearing the movement, and the thief saw that everyone was fighting with open fire, so he quickly ran away." Fortunately, no one was hurt. ”
"How come no one was hurt! I'm not a wounded! Chu Cai waved his arm in protest.
"Get out of the way!"
The courtyard door was kicked open, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed in. The leader glanced at the people in the courtyard, and without saying a word, ordered the others to wait in the courtyard, and rushed directly into the room.
Chu Feng looked at the leader's pale and anxious face, and couldn't help but think in his heart: It seems that his guess is right, the He Runzhi inside is really not an ordinary person. It's just that I don't know if it's a relative of the emperor or the blood of a certain family......
The leader must have asked something clear, and quickly turned back and arranged for people to search for the whereabouts of the man in black.
His gaze couldn't help but turn around on Chu Feng and the others again, and he commanded with sophistication: "Lao Zhang, take your people to find them along the footprints." Now that the snow is thick, it is impossible for the footprints of the man in black to disappear completely. Go and inform a few palace gates, no one is allowed to let them out. Divide into four teams to search in all directions, and report back immediately if there is news! ”
After saying that, he walked to the students who came over to the wall again, and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of the thief is still being pursued today, and I ask you to go back to your room to avoid any further incidents." ”
"We can help too." Some shouted, and some followed.
The leader smiled disdainfully, and this expression was naturally hidden in the night: "You Langjun naturally know the courage of the lower ones, but don't say that this is a matter of the lower ones, and your Langjun is valuable, if something happens, where will you take care of it?" And the thief had a murder weapon in his hand to hurt people, and now that a Lang Jun has been injured, do you also want to follow in his footsteps? ”
"I didn't ......"
Chu Cai reacted that this sentence was talking about himself, and he couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed for a while, and just wanted to defend that he was not injured, but he was pressed on the shoulder by the slave.
Only then did Chu Cai realize something, and hurriedly swallowed the words behind him into his stomach.
"Do you know that something happens? Then why did this learned house run into the thieves! If this thing gets out, don't say that your face is not light, we will all be disgraced! How do you deserve to be a guard! ”
The identity of the students is not ordinary, and when he questioned these guards at this time, he was full of words.
"How did the thieves get in, what is their identity, I didn't catch anyone now, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense." The leader's hands behind his back were clenched, suppressing his anger, "I only know one thing now, this black light is blinding, I'm afraid it won't be easy to catch people." These subordinates of mine are all rough people, and although you are noble, they may not know them all. If you catch someone for a while, if you catch the wrong person, and then move roughly, won't both sides be unhappy? Everyone, please disperse, go back to their rooms, this matter will definitely give you an explanation! The chief spoke in a loud voice, his voice not angry.
There is anger hidden in this, and those present can naturally hear it. Although the students couldn't help but feel a little strange in their hearts, and even faintly angry, they didn't understand why these guards, who were usually respectful to them, would suddenly be so bold. But after all, scholars are afraid of people with weapons in their hands, and at this time, they said something painlessly, "What's the big deal", "If it weren't for your dereliction of duty, how could there be tonight's incident", "If something really happened to us, you would die a good death", and then gradually dispersed.
The leader of the guards looked very ugly, and turned around without saying a word, as if he could not hear the voices.
He walked up to Chu Feng and the others, his eyes swept over the faces of the three of them in turn, hugged his fists, and said, "Under Yang Shifeng." I listen to the temple...... The two students in there said what happened just now, and I want to thank you tonight, otherwise I really don't know what to lose. But after all, you are the first people who came into contact with the thief, and I wonder if you can cooperate and answer some questions, and we may be able to catch it easier. ”
"Of course! That little thief actually gave me a moment while I wasn't paying attention! When I get him back, I must return it!" Chu Cai stood up with his side on his side, with a look of indignation on his face.
"It's too cold outside, let's ...... Would it be nice to go down to the three-man dormitory and bother with it? Yang Shifeng was still very polite to Chu Feng and the others, and he didn't have the cold words he had when he faced the Tai students before.
Chu Cai naturally agreed, covered his waist and scolded while grinning and walked to his room, and the slave wanted to help, but he was pushed away by him again and again.
"It's not an injury! Absolutely not! It's just that it was too dark, and I didn't see the guy's movements clearly for a while, so I accidentally bumped into the other party's knife handle! That thief has absolutely no power, he can't hurt me! Chu Cai said stiffly.
The slave silently fiddled with the stove to adjust the temperature in the room to warm it up a little, and then did not sit down, just stood there, looked at Yang Shifeng and said: "The thief is tall, very thin, and moves quickly. It was not a knife in his hand, but a dagger, and the dagger was of good workmanship, and the dagger handle had brocade moire on it. He punched me in the right shoulder, and the bones should be fine, but there would be bruises. ”
As soon as he spoke, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Yang Shifeng hurriedly stood up, called his subordinates, and conveyed the description of the thief that the slave had just done.
By the time he returned, the slave had resumed his duties as a servant. He warmed a pot of water and poured it to everyone with a blank face.
"This brother is ...... Your minions? Yang Shifeng looked at the strong figure under the clothes of the slave again, he was also a person who had been in the army for many years, so he could naturally feel the power contained in it.
Why would such a person be willing to be a servant of others? This is something that Yang Shifeng can't figure out.
"Yes, his name is Slave." Because he was poked by the slave, Chu Cai's face was a little bad, he snorted in disgust, took a sip of hot water, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his waist, and said, "The cause and effect or something, I'll tell you......"
As he spoke, Chu Cai told everything he knew, and put a lot of effort into how he bravely picked up the firewood stick and waved it to chop.
"Uh...... Well, who first discovered the thief? Yang Shifeng couldn't stand Chu Cai's "enthusiasm" a little, and hurriedly took advantage of the gap between his eyebrows and dancing to insert a useful sentence.
Chu Feng glanced at the slave.
"I got up in the middle of the night to fill the firewood, and when I heard some movement outside, I looked out." The slave stated it very succinctly, and then said no more.
Chu Feng smiled, and continued: "I was woken up by the cold wind blowing the window open, so I also got up and looked. When he saw the black man pry open the door and enter the house, he rushed out with the slave. yes, it's so dark in the room that I can't see anything clearly. Did the man in black steal anything? What happened to He Runzhi and He Langjun? And that little servant, there's nothing going on, right? (To be continued.) )
