Chapter 240: The Assassin

In fact, he also felt strange that whether it was a large kitchen or a side room, there would be people keeping vigil in large households.

With such a big fire, how could the next person not find out? At the very least, it would have to burn several rooms, otherwise the fire wouldn't be so big.

However, that's someone else's business.

"Let the big kitchen send some rice porridge over, and leave some light meals to heat on the stove, and when those sons wake up, I'm afraid they will need some food."

"The kitchen has already been prepared, so I'm going to get the little one."

Ming Yan said and also went out of the house.

Gu Chengyu looked at the room in the middle, which was a hot spring pool. I just felt that the smell of alcohol on my body had not been removed, and after thinking about it, I still planned to soak it for a while.

Walking to the edge of the hot spring pool, Gu Chengyu took off his clothes, put them on the shelf, and then went into the water.

"How's the fire?" The man, disheveled, hurried to the wing room on the left and asked the steward of the courtyard.

"Back to Your Highness, just these few rooms have been burned, and they are large kitchens and firewood rooms."

The steward hurriedly knelt down and saluted, he trembled all over, and at the same time was a little glad that he had only burned a few worthless houses, otherwise he would have been severely punished today, and he would not even be able to take care of the stewardship.

"What's going on? Is there no one keeping vigil at night in the big kitchen? It's all dead! ”

His Royal Highness was furious, and as soon as he fell asleep with two beautiful women as beautiful as flowers, he heard someone in the courtyard pass the water.

The steward was so frightened that he fell to the ground, "Go back to Your Highness!" When the servants arrived, the cook who was keeping vigil at night had fainted and collapsed outside the big kitchen. ”

His Highness was a little puzzled after hearing this, why did he collapse outside the big kitchen? It should be in the big kitchen, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Pulling up his legs, he ran to the study of the main room, and Xiao Linzi hurriedly followed.

"Ask the golden ginseng tie to come to my study!" Before leaving, he only threw out such a sentence.

The steward thought that a meal was indispensable just now, who would have thought that His Highness would leave in a hurry.

He was stunned for a long time, and hurriedly got up with his hands and feet on the ground, and went to call Jin Shen Ling.

His Highness ran into the inner courtyard and went straight to the study.

Before I got to the study, I saw a little light in the study, which was candlelight, and the two guards guarding the study had fallen to the ground, unconscious.

In the study, a man in black was groping around the bookshelves by the faint candlelight, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the study and knew someone was coming.

He put a booklet he had just touched in his arms, glanced at the bookshelf, and blew out the candle.

As soon as the candle was extinguished, the people who came outside knew that they were aware of it.

"Quick! Someone broke into the study, came and grabbed him. ”

His Highness was furious, although the things he hid on the surface were fake. But it is not necessary for him to have an internal response in the other courtyard, and when the time comes, he will steal the things in the dark room, and he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

"Your Highness!" Jin Shenling hurried with the guards.

"Get in there and get the guy."

There is only one exit to this study, even the windows are in the courtyard, and the thieves enter the study, as long as they guard the front, they can't escape even if they stick their wings.

The man in black stuck the sword in his hand into the wall of the study, kicked a few feet in succession, and climbed up the beam above.

There were many torches in the courtyard, and the man in black took the torches outside, glanced at the study, and found that the only way to escape was to break through the siege in the front yard. He clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes fixed on the door of the study.

The golden ginseng tie kicked the door open, and the room was suddenly lit up by torches.

As soon as it was too late, the man in black immediately jumped off the beam and waved his sword at the guards who came in.

It didn't take long for several people to hit the courtyard outside the study from the study.

The man in black stared at it and found that there were many archers in the courtyard, and he understood that he could not fight, and he had the idea of retreating.

His Highness hurriedly asked people to guard the outside of the house, while he ran into the house and closed the door.

I touched the back of the bookshelf, a portrait, and turned it slightly, only to see a floor on the inside of the study, and suddenly opened a one-meter square opening.

Run forward and go down the stairs to the dark room. At this time, the candlelight in the dark room was bright, and rows of boxes were piled up in the small dark room.

Open a chest at random, and there are gold ingots inside. His Highness picked one up and looked at it, and found that it was undoubtedly gold.

He breathed a sigh of relief, though he knew that the thief was only one, and he would definitely not be able to take the gold and silver with him. But if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he would always feel a little uneasy in his heart, and this batch of gold and silver could not be wrong.

"That's not right!" He suddenly dropped the gold ingot in his hand and ran up the stairs.

Ran to the bookcase in the study, turned a pen holder on the bookcase, and a small mechanism box immediately popped out under the bookcase. When I saw that it was empty, the contents were gone.

He hurriedly restored the dark room of the study to its original state and ran out of the house.

At this time, the fight outside the house was still going on, and the man in black was already struggling with one against six. As he fought, he moved towards the courtyard wall.

The guards had already seen through his intentions, and the archers hurriedly followed him.

His Royal Highness walked out of the study, looked at the masked man in black, and felt ruthless in his heart, "Leave a living mouth for the palace!" He will be interrogated in a later manner. ”

The masked man's breathing immediately became a little faster, and his moves became sharper. The six of them couldn't attack for a long time, and three of them were injured by the masked man, and His Highness's heart was on fire.

He pulled out the knife of one of the guards on the side, intending to do it himself.

"Your Highness! Don't come forward! That thief is powerful! Xiao Linzi saw His Highness's intentions and hurriedly exclaimed.

The originally shrill voice is now more and more harsh.

He stepped forward and hugged his master, he couldn't let his master go no matter what, if the master was injured, then he was really to blame.

His Royal Highness was pulled by Xiao Linzi, and he couldn't break free for a while, he shouted: "Get out of the way of the palace!" ”

When the masked man saw it, he thought it was a good time, if he hijacked the master, then it would be easy for him to escape.

Desperately stabbed in the chest, he rushed to the two entangled.

"Be careful! Protect Your Highness! The guards were full of fear, thinking that the thieves were going to kill their masters, so they all screamed and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

His Royal Highness also panicked, and at the last moment, he shook off the small forest and slashed at the masked man with his knife.

The two fought like this for a round, and Xiao Linzi was frightened and fainted when he saw that His Highness had two wounds on his body.

At this time, Gu Chengyu was leisurely soaking in the hot spring, and when Zhu Pang and the others woke up, he had already soaked in it, so that everyone could avoid seeing each other naked.

"Childe!" Ming Yan entered the house, but he didn't see his son-in-law, but he heard the sound of water in the inner room.

"I'm soaking in the hot springs, and I'll have a meal later." Gu Chengyu shouted outside, he didn't want to get up at this time.

When Ming Yan heard the response, he was relieved to pack up the food in the house. His son-in-law has never been allowed to be served, so he doesn't need to go in and serve.

After soaking for another quarter of an hour, Gu Chengyu got up and put on his clothes. After running around for a while, my mind is much clearer.
