Chapter Seventy-Four: Three Watches in the Middle of the Night
Looking at their blank faces, Zong Jiyuan said with a smile,
"You'll know by tomorrow morning, so let's go and get some rest now, and then we'll have important envoys to do it."
"Okay."
The two officers nodded their heads and went back to their rooms.
The room was quiet for a while, Zong Jiyuan turned his head to look at Wang Yu, and said with some annoyance,
"Why are you still here, go back to your room!"
"Good, good, good,"
Wang Yu smiled and said,
"But let's say okay, you are not allowed to go alone during the third watch."
"Don't worry, it won't."
Zong Jiyuan sighed helplessly and assured him.
Extinguished the light, closed his clothes and lay down, seized the time to rest for a while, and dimly heard the beating points knocked by the husband from the street, it was already three times, Zong Jiyuan turned over and sat up, felt out the long whip that he never left from the pillow, wrapped it around his waist, took the boots on the side, and fastened the belt, listened attentively, there was no sound outside the door, and then gently opened the door.
I was going to go next door to call Wang Yu, but when I opened the door, I saw this guy standing by the door of his guest room, still holding the treasure knife in his hand.
It's really-
Zong Jiyuan pulled him into his room in annoyance and laughter, and said in a low voice,
"What are you doing here, just standing outside and being seen by others?"
"No, it won't,"
Wang Yu still doesn't care about that face,
"If someone comes out, I'll naturally avoid it."
"You guy,"
I didn't want to waste any more time, Zong Jiyuan didn't have time to say anything more to blame, turned around and bolted the door, walked to the back window of the room, and said,
"Let's get out of here."
"Okay, but you'd better put this coat on first,"
As she spoke, Wang Yu brought a black dress in her hand to her and said,
"Otherwise, with your white dazzling robe, it is impossible for people not to find out."
"Uh......"
Zong Jiyuan was a little dumbfounded by what he said, and couldn't help but laugh and said,
"Thank you Brother Wang Yu for your thoughtfulness, the little brother is ashamed."
"Alright, let's put it on."
When he said this, Wang Yu's tone slightly brought out a little doting.
Zong Jiyuan didn't seem to notice this, but obediently took the night walking clothes stuffed by the other party in his hand, although he didn't see it very clearly, but he could also know by his hand that this was a very good piece of clothing in terms of fabric and workmanship, so he shook it off and quickly put it on the outside of his clothes, feeling that it not only fit very well, but also faintly had a faint fragrance.
"It's okay this time, let's go."
As he spoke, the two of them came out of the window one after another, went outside, turned over to the roof, and did not forget to cover the panes before leaving, and then quietly followed the slope of the house to the vicinity of the west courtyard wall.
He looked down from the top of the house to make sure that there were no people patrolling the night on the left and right, so he jumped to the courtyard wall one after the other, and then swept over the alley in the middle and had landed on the wall of the courtyard wall of "Xingyindang".
deliberately made some noise, but seeing that there was no reaction, Zong Jiyuan and Wang Yu nodded to each other, and tacitly swept to the backyard of the pawnshop.
This should be the inner house, if Wei Xingyin is really at home, he must live here.
It was the middle of the night, and the whole town was immersed in the coldness of darkness and silence, and this courtyard was no exception.
The two men lying on the slope of the house glanced at each other in the dark, and were about to discuss what to do next, but when there was a knock at the door, a dark figure appeared, and came sneakily from the front yard to the back.
Will it be Wei Xingyin?
This thought just flashed in Zong Jiyuan's mind, but he was quickly denied by himself, if it was really Wei Xingyin, why should he be so sneaky.
Sure enough, they saw the black shadow come to the door of the west wing at their feet, and I don't know how he got it, but in a few moments he opened the latch, lifted the door panel, and quietly pushed the door in.
Involuntarily turned his head to look at Wang Yu beside him, but saw that he had some kind of strange amusement on his face, Zong Jiyuan was about to open his mouth to ask him something, but saw that the other party put his index finger to his lips and signaled that he would not make a sound, so he had to continue listening.
It was only a few minutes before I heard movement in the room, followed by a woman's voice,
"Three, third master, is it your ......?"
"Shh——、h
A man's voice quickly cut off her questioning.
The woman seemed astonished,
"Why are you again, aren't you afraid of being known by the third master and throwing you to Dongshan to feed the wolves?"
"Hey, how about you be quieter?"
The man said that he wanted the other party to be quieter, but there was no feeling of stealing chickens and dogs in his tone.
"The third master won't come back at all in the past few days, it seems that he has to go back to hide for a while because he messed up some time ago."
"Huh?"
The woman sounded disappointed,
"Then he really reassures that all the business here will be taken care of by you, his heart is really big enough, what if something important happens to this store?"
"What's wrong?"
The man listened a little unpleasantly, and said,
"What's going to happen, even if there's really an emergency, just send a guy to the hunting house and get the third master back, the others are there." Besides, what's wrong with handing over the business to me, let alone business, isn't it even very good that you are taken care of by me......"
It seems that there is no need to listen to the things in this house anymore, Zong Jiyuan turned his head, and saw that Wang Yu was looking at him and didn't know what he was thinking, so he motioned to him, and the two left the "Xingyin Pawnshop" along the same road and returned to the inn.
After closing the back window and turning around, he saw that in the dark, Wang Yu had already sat down at the table, Zong Jiyuan thought in his heart, this guy is really natural in someone else's room, and turned to the bed and sat down,
"What hunting house did that person mention just now, does Brother Wang Yu know where it is?"
"Huh? Oh, Hunthouse, I don't know. ”
I don't know what he has been thinking all along, Zong Jiyuan's question surprised Wang Yu, and he said after a while,
"It seems that the four thieves used to rest when they were hunting."
"Do you still need to say this?"
Zong Jiyuan sighed and said,
"What I want to know is, where is the exact location of the hunting house?"
"I guess it's in the mountains,"
Wang Yu even sighed,
"Ji Yuan, are you going to go there to find Wei Xingyin next?"
"Of course, why else are we here?"
Zong Jiyuan said very resolutely.
Wang Yu was silent for a while, and then said,
"However, if you are really in the mountains, I am afraid that the danger will increase, and I am worried about you."
