Chen Mo arrived in the capital in the morning, and he was busy delivering the rabbits for a long time, and then went to the Shen Mansion, and when he arranged for Ziyan to deal with the remaining rabbits, it was already after dinner.

In the days when he went to Zhaoling, Siqi's injury had already recovered, and he returned to Ciqing Palace on an errand, although he had been absent for a long time, but after all, she was out of the palace with Chen Mo, afraid that Empress Dowager Li and Chun Tao would make fun of her, and when she saw that it was late, she took a sedan chair back to Ciqing Palace.

Ziyan went with her, and as soon as the two of them left, Caiyu was left, but she was embarrassed to stay alone, and she also said that she had something to do and went back to the princess's mansion.

Only Chen Mo Tieniu and Li Jiumei Xing'er were left in the lively outer house, and the ground quieted down. Tie Niu went to the west wing room to rest, Chen Mo and Li Jiumei and Xing'er sister talked for a while, and they also felt tired, so they washed their feet under Xing'er's service, and then went to the kang to lie down.

He originally wanted Xing'er to sleep with him, and these days in Zhaoling has always been accompanied by Xing'er and Wang's sister-in-law. But before he could speak, Xing'er had already gone out with the foot-washing water and didn't come in. He smiled bitterly, blew out the candles, and lay on the empty kang, only to feel very unaccustomed, already very tired, tossing and turning, and losing sleep for the first time.

I don't know what time it is, he only knows that his lower body has been soft and hard, hard and soft three or five times, and when his consciousness is about to fall into a blur, the sudden click of the roof makes him wake up all of a sudden.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my five fingers. If you listen closely, you can hear the wind blowing the leaves, and occasionally the windows will crackle due to the expansion and contraction of the heat, but there is no movement on the roof, as if he was just hallucinating.

He laughed to himself. I rolled over to sleep, but I touched a book next to my pillow to the floor. Hurriedly leaned over and groped, just touched. Before he could pick it up, a big hole suddenly broke through the roof, and a cold wind rushed down, and between the flickering of the cold light, the sound of the brush was piercing between his legs. If he didn't lean over and touch the book, that location would be his lower abdomen.

These things are troublesome to recount, but they actually happened in an instant, and I woke up. With a hasty glance at the faint starlight at the hole in the roof, Chen Mo saw a black shadow squatting on the kang, not knowing whether it was a knife or a sword in his hand, inserted in the quilt, less than five centimeters away from the vital point of his lower body, and he could even feel the slightest chill.

"Who are you?" Cold sweat instantly covered Chen Mo's whole body, and while shouting and asking, he pressed his hands on the ground and exerted his waist and abdomen. Shot straight out from the kang, and after landing, he didn't guard against the attack that followed, and he didn't care about the pain. Rolling over, he shouted, "There are assassins!" Someone! There are assassins! ”

The killer's feeling of feedback through the steel knife had already determined that the raid had not made a contribution, and he heard Chen Mo shouting. Without the slightest accident, he drew his knife and jumped down to chase and kill. It wasn't until the second time that he didn't make a move, so he sighed lightly. Obviously very surprised by Chen Mo's quick reaction.

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

With two loud bangs, the window and door were broken open from the outside at the same time, and four figures jumped into the room through the windows, and there was also a noise of footsteps in the outer hall.

This situation and this scene seemed familiar, so Chen Mo couldn't help but think of the time when Yu Pengfei assassinated him, listening to the roar of the iron bull outside, and listening to the sound of apricots' scolding and the impact of ping-pong weapons in the hall, the fragrant wind hit his face, and a little spark cut through the darkness and accurately landed on the candle on the tail of the kang.

As soon as the fire started, Li Jiumei, who was dressed in white, was already standing in front of Chen Mo: "Master, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine!" Chen Mo was shocked, only to find out that the candle was lit by a small piece of fire, and after the wick was lit, it was lit by the candle flame, and the black smoke stained the candle, making a sizzling sound.

"It is worthy of being a master disciple of the Shake Flower Fairy, and the nine girls are so handsome!" The man who came down from the roof did not take the opportunity to move, he was covered with a black scarf, only two shining eyes were revealed, and he held a bright steel knife in his hand, and his voice was hoarse, like a night owl, and those who listened to it got goosebumps.

He was supposed to be the leader of this gang of killers, he didn't do anything, and then he didn't do it when he pounced into the house through the window, standing on the kang, condescending, ready to attack, like four cheetahs that choose people to eat.

These four people were also covered with black scarves, Chen Mo was half-lying behind Li Jiumei, pondering the identity of the killer, and suddenly looked at a killer on the kang, suddenly floated a trace of familiarity, stood up rubbingly, pointed at the killer and shouted: "Yu Pengfei, hide it, turn into ashes and recognize you!" ”

The killer he pointed at shook slightly, and before he could speak, the leader of the killer had already raised his head to the sky and laughed a few times, and said hoarsely: "Gonggong Chen has good eyesight, so he can recognize it?" Pengfei, everyone recognized it, so he simply took off the face towel, and let Chen Gonggong look down on it. ”

"Yes!" The killer bowed down and agreed, took off the black scarf, smiled at Chen Mo, and said, "Grandpa Chen, it's been a long time!" It was Yu Pengfei, who hadn't appeared in front of anyone for a long time.

"Sure enough, it's you!" Chen Mo sneered, but his heart was sinking rapidly: the other party had already assassinated him once, knowing that Li Jiumei and Xing'er were strong in martial arts, they still made a comeback, and they must have been completely sure, this time, I am afraid that it will not be as easy as last time, if it is not good, there is really a possibility of losing their lives.

However, this also successfully ignited Chen Mo's anger. He really couldn't figure out why Zhang Whale had to resort to such assassination methods again and again, they were all important ministers of the inner court. Even he, the junior brother who has just been in the officialdom for a long time, understands that the assassination of officialdom is a strategy to kill the enemy by 800 and lose 1,000 by himself, even if he was forced to a desperate situation by Zhang Whale, he never used it, how could an old fritter like Zhang Whale not know it?

Isn't he afraid that the assassination will not succeed again, and Lao Tzu will go to the palace to complain?

The sound of fighting in the outer hall was sparse, Tie Niu shouted and broke into the inner room, standing side by side with Li Jiumei, interrupting Chen Mo's thoughts, before he had time to think about why the enemy in the outer hall was so bearish, Tie Niu had already roared and rushed towards the leader of the killer, Chen Mo didn't dare to slack off, and pointed at Yu Pengfei: "Ninth sister, capture this kid alive for our family!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Jiumei had already jumped up and rushed straight to Pengfei. Yu Pengfei knew that it was powerful, so he retreated sharply, and the other three also wielded knives to rescue.

It's a pity that Li Jiumei's speed was too fast, and the three knives fell behind her one after another, Yu Pengfei didn't have time to exclaim, the shoulder well and the big hole had been buckled by her, and her figure flashed, grabbing Yu Pengfei and quickly retreating in front of Chen Mo.

The whole action was dizzying, and when she stood still, the iron bull that was rushing towards the leader of the killer was also swept back, and with a snap, it landed heavily at Chen Mo's feet, her teeth were tightly closed, her face was like gold paper, and she didn't know whether she was dead or alive.

The outer hall finally stopped moving, and Xing'er lifted the curtain into the room and stood side by side with Li Jiumei.

Chen Mo didn't expect the battle outside to be solved by Xing'er so easily, his surprise flashed, and he was about to speak, when there was a sudden commotion in the alley, fires broke out, and someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Listen, the people inside are all the people of the Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses, hurry up and put down your arms and surrender, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!"
