Chapter 104: Longtan

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Is Dr. Lin at home?"

Bai Shijun and Wei Shixi glanced at each other, Wei Shixi raised his hand to signal Bai Shijun not to be too nervous, he pointed lightly to the door, and then quietly stepped back, disappearing into the dark shadows in the room again.

"Oh, yes." Bai Shijun said softly, "Who?" โ€

"We are from General Shen's mansion, and the general thinks that the house you live in is too dilapidated and wants to change you to a newly furnished room," the man's voice was very respectful, "We are here to pick you up." โ€

"Don't bother." Bai Shijun replied, "I'll leave tomorrow." โ€

"Doctor Lin, can you open the door first and let us in?"

"No, no." Bai Shijun shook his head, "I haven't heard your voice, who knows if you are from the General's Mansion or where you came from...... Anyway, I'm living here pretty well, and it's just tonight. โ€

The voices outside fell silent, and no one answered.

Bai Shijun touched the darkness and lit a few new candles, and the room was lit up.

"Fourteen?" He looked up at the rooftop, and spun around in a bit of a dazeโ€”but no one answered him.

Bai Shijun sat outside for a while, thinking about it, he still went into the back room, changed his clothes and washed up and prepared to rest.

However, it didn't take long for footsteps to sound in the courtyard outside, this time the person who came was the steward of the General's Mansion, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Bai Shijun heard his voice.

"Doctor Lin," the steward called through the door, "it's me, I'm here...... Please move somewhere else. โ€

Bai Shijun was stunned for a moment.

This time he had no reason to keep the door open.

Bai Shijun opened a crack in the door, and the steward of the General's Mansion stood respectfully outside the door, and behind him stood several rows of people with knives wearing dark robes, surrounding the entire courtyard.

Judging from the size of several of them and the thinness of the door of this house, Bai Shijun felt that the ten doors could not stop them, but after these people failed to call the door, they went directly to the general's mansion to invite the steward there - Bai Shijun's heart sank slightly, could it be that this is the "people in the palace" in the fourteen mouths.

"Don't bother, Steward Zhao." Bai Shijun shook his head and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow morning, as long as I can have a place to sleep tonight that can shelter from the wind and snow, I don't have to be so particularโ€”โ€”"

Steward Zhao had an embarrassed smile on his face, and the whole person stood in the wind and snow shivering, "Please, Dr. Lin, it's not a hassle to arrange a new house for you, you'll just-"

"Hey, Dr. Lin." The knife-wielding man on the side sighed and stepped forward and said, "I told you clearly, we are the emperor's people, in Xia Chengli, it is the order of the emperor to change a comfortable house for you, the emperor is worried that you will be afraid of mentioning him, so he borrowed the mouth of General Shen and invited you to go." โ€

"The Emperor...... Emperor. Bai Shijun avoided Cheng Li's gaze, "I'm a small citizen in the mountains, how could I provoke the emperor's attention, several officials must have found the wrong person......

"Surely yes," replied Cheng Li, who stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Although you don't recognize me, I won't mistake you, Dr. Bai." โ€

Bai Shijun stepped back sharply, and almost fell to the ground.

Cheng Li was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to reach out to help, "Don't be afraid, Doctor Bai, we will never-"

Before the words fell, Cheng Li immediately felt some kind of danger, and instinctively retreated - sure enough, a short blade was thrown into the open space between him and Bai Shijun.

Wei Shixi reappeared behind Bai Shijun and grabbed Bai Shijun's back.

Cheng Li was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "We also guessed that you might be here...... It's been a long time, Fourteenth Master. โ€

The title of the Fourteenth Master, Wei Fourteen has not heard it for many years.

He laughed imperceptibly, helped Bai Shijun to the table in the room repeatedly, and said in a low voice, "The old man said that he didn't want to change the house, where is the reason to forcibly change it." โ€

"You and I both understand that it's not a question of whether to change houses or not." Cheng Li said softly, "Let's make it clear to you, and please stay in Yanzhou for two more days with Dr. Bai." โ€

Wei XIV grabbed the hilt of the knife at his waist, "...... It also depends on whether you have the ability to keep me. โ€

"Don't, don't." Cheng Li immediately took two steps back, "Fourteenth Master, we won't do anything to you." โ€

"Then don't get in the way."

Cheng Li sighed again, as if to show his determination, he pulled out the knife from his waist in front of Wei XIV - but immediately dropped it on the ground.

Not only that, but he began to dismantle the Hidden Blade and Hidden Rope on his wrist, the short knife on the side of his boot, and other hidden weapons hidden on the sides of his waist and abdomen...... Everything was thrown to the ground by Cheng Li.

Whether it was a sword or a rope, everything was thrown on the ground with a heavy sound.

"Let's put it this way, Fourteenth Master," Cheng Li threw away his armor and looked at Bai Shijun behind Wei Fourteen, "What is it like to be on an errand by the emperor's side, you should understand...... The emperor asked us to keep Dr. Bai, but he also told him that if anyone hurt Doctor Bai or the people around himโ€”"

"I'm not too doctoral." Bai Shijun interjected to remind.

"Well, if anyone hurts Dr. Bai's hair," Cheng Li said softly, "then we'll have to go back to our lives." โ€

Wei Shishi narrowed his eyes slightly, "You ......"

"You can break out with Dr. Bai tonight," as he spoke, Cheng Li had almost thrown away his equipment, his robe looked much more empty than before at the moment, he opened his arms and slowly turned around in front of Wei Shixi, "But you must also know that this courtyard has been surrounded by our people, we can't let you go, but we can't hurt you in the slightest, if you have to leave, kill us all, and then step on our corpses and go out." โ€

Bai Shijun sighed.

"Uncle Bai can't bear it, so close your eyes first." Wei Fourteen didn't look back to the tunnel, he slowly drew his knife, "No matter what, I will take you back tonight." โ€

Cheng Li put his bare hands and took a defensive posture towards Wei Shiv.

In the narrow room, the two fought each other smoothly, where could Bai Shijun still close his eyes, he looked at the two young people in a daze, and he was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.

Dozens of moves later, Cheng Li was knocked down by the window eaves, his heart, neck, right leg, and cheeks...... All left with slight traces of blood.

"Really do it, you've already died three times." Wei Shishi said in a low voice, "Even if I am a former colleague, that's all I can keep...... I can't save people who are looking for death. โ€

"There's no way around that, after all, it's this bowl of rice." Cheng Li gently wiped the blood from his face, "Since the Fourteenth Master insists on leaving, give me a good time." โ€

After saying this, Bai Shijun couldn't sit still anymore - this ceremony seems to be serious.

There are so many people out there, they can't really be killed...... If that's the case, then he might as well just leave Fourteen alone hereโ€”and save this kid from the murderous karma of killing.

Wei 14 and Cheng Li confronted each other, and no one moved for a while.

There was a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, and the man squeezed through the crowd outside, ran quickly to Cheng Li's side, and whispered a few words.

Cheng Li was stunned for a moment and replied softly, "Got it." โ€œ

He turned his head and leaned down to pick up the knife from the ground again.

"You two should come with me," he looked at Wei Shishi and Bai Shijun, "...... Bai Yi and Bai Ling's carriage had already passed the city gate of Yanzhou in the evening, and the people had already entered the general's mansion at this time. โ€
