Chapter 241: Night Knocks on the Door
Governor Liu slowed down and waited for his subordinates to follow.
The sound of breaking through the air came, and a black shadow rushed down from above like an eagle with wings spread.
Liu Dadudu, who had been on guard for a long time, flashed to the side in an instant and drew his sword out of its sheath.
The black shadow was far more flexible than he imagined, and when he saw him avoid it, he directly folded in mid-air, and the blade flickered.
Governor Liu suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder.
Instead of looking down at the wounds, he swung his sword with his extensive experience in dealing with people.
"Protect the Grand Governor!"
Several Jinlin guards drew their swords and rushed over, surrounding the sneak attackers.
Seeing that the attack could not be successful, the sneak attacker did not love to fight, and took advantage of one of the Jinlin guards to dodge the sword light and break through, jumping onto the roof and running into the distance.
"Chase!" Liu Dadu snorted loudly.
Several Jinlinwei jumped on the roof and chased after him.
Hearing the movement from the Jinlin Wei Yamen, more Jinlin Wei rushed over, some of them went to chase the assassin, and some of them protected Liu Dadudu.
Surrounded by his subordinates, Governor Liu Dadu felt at ease and looked down at his shoulder.
The clothes on the left shoulder had been stained red with blood, and the pain seemed to intensify as the person calmed down.
Anger rushed to his head, and Liu Dadu scolded his subordinates with a handkerchief on his shoulder: "Are you all waste? β
All the Jinlin guards bowed their heads one after another, showing shame: "The subordinates are not well protected, please punish most of them!" β
The dignified Jin Linwei commanded the assassination on the way to the lower ya, and when it was spread out, they Jin Linwei really became a laughing stock, and they lost face at all.
Zhong Jinlinwei's face was hot, and he was also angry.
It's still a trivial matter to lose face, and if something happens to the governor, that's a big deal.
"This person must be found out for me!" Liu Dadudu's expression was gloomy, and his tone was ruthless.
It's been a long time since he's suffered such a loss.
Looking up at the continuous roof, Liu Dadu squinted his eyes.
Among the men who went to chase the assassin was his right-hand man, He Bei, and he believed that he would not let the gangster escape.
At this time, He Bei was running on the roof, chasing the black shadow, followed by more Jinlinwei.
Seeing that he could not escape the pursuers behind him, the assassin jumped off the roof and continued to run wildly through the street.
The streets and alleys, the night is getting thicker, and the surroundings are getting more and more open.
He Bei watched as the assassin climbed over the wall of the Plum Blossom Nunnery and disappeared completely.
The gate of the temple was closed, and the dim light spread to the outside of the temple.
"Boss, what should I do?" A Jinlin Wei who followed up asked breathlessly.
Another Jin Linwei scolded: "This dog thing is too capable of running." β
The people who are responsible for protecting the safety of the Metropolitan Governor are all good hands in Jinlinwei, but they didn't expect to chase after so long and still haven't caught up with anyone.
He Bei stared at the closed temple door and said coldly: "Go and call the door." β
The Jin Linwei hesitated: "Boss, this is a nunnery." β
He Bei sneered: "So what? That was the villain who assassinated the Grand Duke, and let him escape after hiding in a nunnery? Besides, it is dangerous for a nunnery to sneak into a man, and we are saving these nuns from fire and water. β
He has heard of the plum blossom nunnery on Qianyun Mountain, which is said to be built for a nun because her lover cut her hair because she died. This noble woman's family has fallen into ruin, and she has not heard of any contact with her ordained daughter.
To put it bluntly, as long as it is not a royal temple, they are not afraid of Jinlinwei.
Jin Linwei in the back rushed over and waited for He Bei to speak.
"You quietly disperse, first surround me with the plum blossom hermitage."
He Bei ordered to go down, and walked straight to the gate of the nunnery with a few of his subordinates, and one of his men stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The knock on the door was particularly clear in the night, and soon a hesitant question sounded inside: "Who?" β
Jin Linwei, who knocked on the door, wanted to speak, but was stopped by He Bei with a gesture and motioned for him to continue knocking.
The nun guarding the door hesitated for a moment, carefully opened the door a crack and looked out, and immediately closed the door when he saw a strange man standing outside.
A hand reached over and pressed against the cold of the night.
The nun's eyes widened in horror: "Who are you?" This is the temple, please leave immediately! β
"Jin Linwei handles the case and takes people." He Bei took out the token and showed it to the nun.
The nun's face changed greatly, and he blocked the door without moving: "The temple is locked and no men are allowed to enter, and there is no one who is wanted by the priest." Amitabha, please come back. β
"You nun is so verbose, get out of the way!" A Jin Linwei scolded impatiently and stretched out his hand to push someone.
"Stop." He Bei stopped his subordinates from making movements, and said coldly to the nun, "We have seen the gangsters enter your temple with our own eyes, if the master stops them, can we afford the consequences of the gangsters doing evil in the nunnery?" β
The nun's expression changed, and he still didn't mean to get out of the way: "There is nothing to make the villains in the nunnery, the donor must have seen it wrong." Donor, please leave quickly, don't stay in the temple and disturb the purity of the Buddhist door. Amitabhaβ"
The nun insisted, and it was not appropriate to break in.
Jin Scales Guard broke into the nunnery at night, but it didn't sound good after all.
"Master, I'd better invite you to be in charge."
The nun hesitated for a moment, looked at the cold face of the young man under the bright moonlight, and said, "Donor, wait a minute. β
The guests who came to the nunnery should not let these people find out, and they must report to the chief as soon as possible.
The nun slammed the temple door shut and walked inside.
At this time, Mrs. Cining was walking out with King Wu, and saw the nuns hurrying over, with a different face.
"What's wrong?"
The nun didn't dare to look at King Wu, bowed his head and said, "There are a few brocade guards here, and they want to enter the temple to search for key criminals." β
Master Cining's face changed suddenly when she heard this, and she immediately looked at King Wu.
King Wu's face was extremely ugly, and his lowered voice could not hide his annoyance: "What's the matter? β
Mrs. Cining was also confused, how could she answer King Wu's question, and said to the nun: "Let them leave immediately, how can the nunnery let men in!" β
Hearing this, the nun subconsciously glanced at King Wu: "The disciple said, but those people had no intention of leaving, and said that they wanted to see the master." β
Why King Wu came to the Plum Blossom Nunnery at night was a question she had always had, but she could only suppress it in her heart and couldn't ask.
I can't tell anyone else in the nunnery.
Master Cining frowned when she heard this, and lowered her voice and said to King Wu: "Lord Wang, you go through the back door, in case those people break in and find you in the nunnery, it will be troublesome." β
King Wu immediately nodded: "Okay." β
The Jinlanwei are all unrecognizable and presumptuous people, if they really want to break in and block him here, then he will be in big trouble.
He couldn't bet on those brocade scales guarding the rules.
"Calm down, you send the prince to the back door."
After Mrs. Cining explained, she decided to deal with those Jinlan guards in person.
The plum blossom nunnery was quiet, and the manservant with the lantern turned off the lamp, so the further back he went, the dimmer the light became, and when he reached the back door, there was only the bright moon in the sky sprinkled with frost.
Jing Xin took out the key from the purse on his waist and gently opened the door with the movement of the moonlight.
