Chapter 087 Starlight
The chaos that appeared one after another in the deposition of the mission, the tiger and leopard camp, the master who infiltrated the Xu family and repeatedly stole it, and the assassination of Yueliuxi, Chu Yu and his cousin Gao Changgeng found out the clue within the Xu family, although the two had discussed briefly, but in the end, Chu Yu was more able to grasp the length of people's hearts, and exchanged all the income gained in the Xu family for cheap silver tickets.
The prosperity of the Xu family is coming to an end, Chu Yu, as the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, will inevitably be affected by the court's judgment, and the woman's family is better, but even if she is a slave, Chu Yu is not happy to see the confiscation of family property, so Chu Yu will be able to grasp the property before and after, and even deceive a lot from Gao Changgeng in turn, Kaizi is an unlucky ghost who carries the blame, Chu Yu has never put it in his eyes, and now he is twenty-five years old, which is suitable for the Xu family to be defeated and remarry a good family.
Xu Gong's husband and wife over the years have been indifferent, and the respect for each other is more of a familiar and inseparable miscellaneous feeling, Chu Yu is ready to wait for the Xu family to copy everything, if not, you might as well change your life and live a new life, copy it, she can live a rich life after escaping through the secret passage of the Xu family, plus her own appearance can get by, even if she remarries, she can also find a good family to be a wife, all in all, the Xu family's anxious affairs are not much worry for Chu Yu.
Gao Changgeng's unlucky Kaizi had already sent Chu Yu away, making nonsense promises, and swearing to deceive, Gao Changgeng temporarily left the Xu Mansion and said that he wanted to settle the courtyard so that he could live in a private meeting in the future, Chu Yu himself knew that Gao Changgeng wanted to use this excuse to squeeze her money dry, so he didn't mean to revert to the old relationship, but simply waited for the news of the Xu family.
This day was cloudy and rainy, and the gloomy almost torrential rain was pouring down, Xie Tu squeaked and held an oil-paper umbrella, carried a cloth bag on his shoulder, and hurriedly rushed to the back wall of Xu's house with the white night of the five tails in his arms.
The dog hole on the back wall of Xu's house has already been surveyed and understood, because it is a dog hole, when it can't pass smoothly, the dog will dig the pit and expand, and the left and right sides are connected to the brick courtyard wall.
The inside of Xu's house is next to the garden, and the location of the dog hole is the end of the garden, Xie Tu hid the oil-paper umbrella in the grass at the root of the wall, and secretly took the white night to touch it inside.
"Ah Ming, you said that a powerful person like Xu Zhai, how can you say that the recession is really abolished?"
"Hey, who knows, I heard that the deposed mission from the Imperial City has been staring at the Xu family for a long time, let's think about the future as soon as possible......"
"Well, that's it. ”
Xie Tu nervously lay in the grass and looked at the voice, it seemed that it was the nurse of the Xu Mansion and the maid talking about love, the beautiful scenery of the pavilion, and the flowers and butterflies dancing around were harmonious.
Falling into Xie Tu's ears is with today's rumors, the Xu family may have to be caught by the officers and soldiers from the imperial city, how to catch it is not possible, the people in front of him are idle and scattered, Xie Tu paid attention to the situation, and slowly moved to avoid the sight of the maid in the courtyard.
Although Yueliuxi was imprisoned during that time in the Xu family, he could at least tell the location of the front yard and backyard of the Xu house, in fact, it was the layout of the general mansion, but anyone who understood the direction of feng shui must be clear, Xie Tu acted secretly according to what Yue Liuxi said, and it took an hour to go out of the back garden.
Crossing the back garden and close to the residence of the ladies in the inner courtyard of the Xu Mansion, Xie Tu stopped and hid while walking, borrowing the beams and pillars of the corridor and the doorway room, because of his low and light figure, he did not attract the slightest attention.
The big cat in the white night is extremely easy to move, bored squatting on the roof staring at Xie Tu walking and stopping, thinking that although Xie Tu has no ambitions, at least he is very brave, and the purple-robed old Taoist has not given a good light body method, if Xie Tu's body method is more subtle, he can avoid this caution.
The inner courtyard was empty, occasionally a maid passed by, the flower bed placed in the courtyard was a cover for Xie Tu to observe, nearly an hour and a half of caution, Xie Tu couldn't help but tremble with tired legs, thinking about how good it was to be comfortable in Sister Lingmin's bed, but with a bitter face, he had to continue walking according to his original thoughts.
"Grandpa, Master, Senior Brother, Brother Ju, Sister Fang, Sister Liuxi, Sister Meng Shan, Sister Lingmin, Zhu Mengya, Grandma Zhu, Rui Chu, Zhao Yunyu, Xiao Baibai, Gargoyle...... You all have to bless me, grandma, if you knew that it was such a pit, you should have been honest at home......"
Xie Tu thought about all the people he could think of in his heart, looked up at the white night squatting by the eaves, his heart was slightly settled, but he still couldn't bear the fatigue, and he was nervous that he had already squatted two incense sticks in this flower bed, but he didn't realize that there were so many people in the inner courtyard, and every time he made up his mind to act, he met someone, retreated, and then prepared, and so on, the anxious Xie Tu was sweating profusely.
After squatting for a while, Xie Tu avoided the sight of a maid, gritted his teeth and hurried towards a cold room in the inner courtyard, rushed in and hurriedly closed the door, leaning against the door panel to listen to his heartbeat.
"Little white...... Mother, Xiao Baibai hasn't come in yet......"
Xie Tu breathed a sigh of relief before he remembered that Bai Ye, who was now the pillar in his heart, was still outside, and looked at the room he was in, which seemed to be the kitchen of the Xu Mansion, and the walls were hung with dried salted fish, and the wooden piers for cutting vegetables, and kitchen knives could all be confirmed.
Just stained with spittle to break the window paper, there was a slight sound behind him, but when he turned around, he was standing by the window in the white night, the kitchen window was transparent on both sides, facing the inner courtyard of the Xu Mansion on one side, and the well-guarded outer courtyard of the Xu Mansion on the other side, which was also the place where the Xu family entertained guests.
Xie Tu went over and stroked Bai Ye's back to raise money, and muttered: "It's bad, it seems that there are masters of force in the Xu family, and if I come in like this, it will take a long time, and it will rain at night, so it will be troublesome." ”
It was not yet dinner, so there was no one in the kitchen, Xie Tu hid behind the door and leaned against the dusty corner of the wall to figure out how to steal the coffin wood next, the location of the coffin was not known yet, Xie Tu thought, but Bai Ye bit his sleeve and wanted to lead the way.
"Third child, go to the market and buy some fresh beans and make some pasta today. ”
Xie Tu hesitated when there was a sound of talking outside the door, Xie Tu hurriedly shrank in the corner, and Bai Ye jumped up on the kitchen table and landed on the beam of the room to hide.
Pushing the door in, it was the cook, wearing an apron, carrying a bag of rice in his hand, followed by the man who went out with a bamboo basket, the door was not closed, so it happened that Xie Tu was not exposed.
Xie Tu held his breath and didn't dare to move against the wall, listening to the sound of the cook picking up the soup jar, cutting vegetables and chopping meat, and was busy for a while carrying the soup jar to the outside to light the fire and make soup.
The cook lit the fire with a fire fold, which was very convenient, and when he turned around, he vaguely saw a figure flashing at the corner of the corridor, and he came over with a flat pole, and jumped out suddenly at the corner, but he didn't see anyone.
"It's weird, I saw a figure clearly, why am I dazzled?"
Because the pillar of the railing of the corner corridor was thick, the cook did not think that there would be a person behind the pillar, and he was about to leave after looking at it casually, when he suddenly saw a low shadow projected on the ground, and he was ready to swing it out at any time with a flat pole.
The cook knew that the Xu family had been in trouble recently, and the family members in private said that the Xu family's master of stealing was absolutely extraordinary, so the cook didn't dare to make a noise, looked at the projection, and judged that this person's height was not particularly strong, thinking that he had been a soldier in the military camp in his early years, so he planned to stun the gangsters in exchange for some reward.
"Aim!"
Before he could make a move, the flesh on the back of his neck was torn, and the severe pain was accompanied by a cat's meow, the cook was in a hurry and waved his flat pole indiscriminately, and Bai Ye turned his body in the air to attract the chef's attention, and Xie Tu hurriedly took out the self-defense secret weapon Xingmang Arrow that he asked for from Ju Ling and shot it over.
As its name suggests, the seven or four hundred and forty-nine small arrows are hidden in the arm-thick quiver, coated with poison, and two or three of them are enough to make people faint and spasm, and if they are not treated for a long time, the seriously injured will be cold, and the blood flow will slow down and die.
The starlight arrows that flew out were all nailed to the cook's abdomen impartially, seeing that the cook's eyes rolled and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Xie Tu picked up Bai Ye and ran away, at this time, regardless of the direction, the front yard must not go, the backyard is a residence, so he picked the only feasible arch to get in.
When Xie Tu came, he brought two sets of starlight arrows, one was quenched with anesthetic, and the other was soaked with poison that sealed his throat with blood, and the poisonous one was wrapped in a wooden box to prevent Xie Tu from missing, and the cook was hit by more than 40 starlight arrows, and he would be half-paralyzed if he didn't die.
I don't know when a thin cow drizzle fell in the sky, the damp and cold in the wind, Xie Tu huddled in a corner of a horse and felt quite desolate, and the only white night who could help stood on a horse and looked around.
Suddenly, Bai Ye screamed a few times, Xie Tu got up and looked at the position guided by Bai Ye, and could clearly see the silence of Bai Ye's attention, the kind of coldness that came from the environment.
"Xiao Baibai, is that the place I'm looking for?" Xie Tu clutched the only remaining set of starlight arrows, which were highly poisonous, and were about the only hole cards he had to save his life.
There are still three earth-shattering thunderbolts left in the backpack, saying that they can be thrown out to hurt people when they are in a hurry, but they need to ensure that they avoid accidentally injuring themselves, in fact, they look like just three big round balls, and no one would have thought that they are sharp weapons mixed with the fire oil of the Western Regions.
Ju Ling said that there were thin steel balls stuffed inside, which burst open and scattered, and they could not be used until they were at the end of their lives, and if they hit the head, they would not be able to save the king of heaven.
Bai Ye thought in his heart that Xie Tu could guess a thing or two, and he followed without hesitation, and when he stepped into the backyard of Xu Mansion, it was not a serious feeling to be around, because Xie Tu could find that Bai Ye's hair stood up.
Bypassing a few lacquered wooden doors, the coffin placed in the back hall appeared in front of him, Xie Tu looked at the coffin with joy, took out the knife from the back backpack, and slowly walked to the coffin in the white night to inspect and sniff, the remains of the ancestors of the Xu family inside have accumulated for a long time, to ensure that it can't harm Xie Tu.
Originally, the task that Master Purple Robe Daoist arranged for Xie Tu himself was to steal the coffin wood of the Xu family's coffin, if there was no Bai Ye's assistance, Xie Tu would have been planted in the hands of people in the kitchen long ago, where could he still stand here?
