Chapter 61: The Owner's Mansion (4)
It must be ill-intentioned for a 10,000-year-old fritter like Mo Xinyu to bring four oil bottles at this time...... No, there must be a reason of its own!
To be honest, he has been in the escort for more than ten years, and it is the first time he has seen the owner's mansion on fire!
In the past, this kind of thing was only heard in the mouths of those old guys who were older than him and were now lying at home to care for the elderly.
But without exception, those stories have one thing in common β something big happens every time!
Something big is bound to happen this time! He knew this in his heart, but he couldn't help but go.
Some time ago, I finally got into the light of the four second generations of officials behind me, and mixed into the owner's mansion as a guard, I thought that he would stay away from those dangerous and complicated tasks from then on, but who would have thought that the owner's mansion would catch fire on the first day of his tenure?
Sometimes he thinks he's a broom star!
went to carry out the mission, pitted four teammates, and finally mixed into the owner's mansion, but the highest fire in the kitchen for decades was not higher than the owner's mansion, and it was directly lit!
Is there anyone more unlucky in the world than him?
But no matter what, he can't help but go tonight, as one of the guards of the night vigil, if he dares not to appear at the scene tonight, then he won't want to appear in Luojiazhuang tomorrow.
As for why you have to bring these four stunned young people behind you......
Nonsense! Now the situation is so uncertain, there are many crises everywhere, if he rushes over there alone, he will definitely be called to take the lead, with these four stunned young people, even if these people want to transfer him to the front line, they will choose a safer direction and assign it to him!
Whenever this happens, he will thank the catechumen who gave him all this from the bottom of his heart, and the four guys in his team behind him who cry, make trouble, and hang themselves rely on the guys in his team to block for him I don't know how many knives in the open and in the dark, and he always feels that this is right, and still regards him as the boss in his heart.
There are no better subordinates in this world!
Several people quickly rushed to the small courtyard that was on fire, and many people had already gathered here.
...
"Those guys over there! What are you doing stunned? Let's go get some water! β
"And the maids next to me, get out of the way for me, don't get in the way here......"
β¦
The voice of the money steward echoed outside the small courtyard, and the chaotic scene was gradually controlled by him, and some of the strong and strong family members were organized by him to fetch water to extinguish the fire, but at this time the fire was already big, and the efforts of these people were completely a drop in the bucket, but fortunately, the fire in the place where the small courtyard met the other courtyards had been controlled, and it would not burn anywhere else for a while.
But even so, the sky-high fire of the entire small courtyard still woke up most of the people in Luojiazhuang.
Steward Qian was waving his hands vigorously, his voice was hoarse, although he neither carried a bucket to fetch water, nor did he participate in extinguishing the fire, but at this time he was also so busy that he was sweating profusely.
In the midst of his busyness, he glanced at Mo Xinyu who rushed in from another courtyard, and immediately felt an indescribable anger in his heartβit was an inexplicable anger sublimated from the anxiety of tonight, his disgust for Mo Xinyu, and his ironwork for his son!
"Mo Xinyu! Why are you here now! He roared, pointing in one direction in the darkness: "The assassins are gone!" If you don't want to chase it quickly!! β
His hand was originally pointing in the direction of the main hall, but when he saw the four figures that jumped out behind Mo Xinyu, the corners of his eyes couldn't help jumping, and he stubbornly drew his hand in the air for half a circle, pointing in the direction of the owner's bedroom.
"Go!!" He roared, but his eyes were fixed on one of the four stunned blues, blowing his beard and glaring, so frightened that the man hurriedly turned his head over and pretended not to see.
Mo Xinyu also knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't say much, and rushed to the direction pointed by the Qian steward with the four of them.
On the way, he met two family members who were running from that direction, and inquired about the situation along the way.
It turned out that the small courtyard that was on fire was used to entertain the servants of the merchants who were entertaining today's banquet, and everything was fine, but who knew that during the banquet, more than a dozen people suddenly broke out, killed a few people, and burned the small building by the way, which caused the current situation.
"So, how many assassins have infiltrated the Shangjia's entourage?" Mo Xinyu asked.
But where did the two family members know this, they hurriedly waved their hands and said that they didn't know, only said that in addition to the dozen or so assassins in the small courtyard at that time, there were about twenty people with weapons and capable of fighting, but they saw that there were assassins running in the direction of the main hall, because they were worried about the safety of their masters, so they did not stay to stop the assassins, but rushed to the main hall one by one.
Mo Xinyu thought about it and felt that the matter in the main hall had nothing to do with him anyway, so he asked again: "There are also assassins in this direction?" β
The two family members nodded again and again, and then remembered what was going on, pointed in one direction and said in a panic that they had just seen a sneaky figure there!
"Let's go!" Mo Xinyu didn't say a word, and rushed in that direction with the four of them.
Although he is an old fritter, this does not mean that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, on the contrary, he has cultivated a body of internal strength, and he can be regarded as a leader among the team leaders, and he has always been a character who dares to fight and dare to rush in the mission!
The five of them soon walked through the corridor and broke into a small garden, which was said to have been built at the request of the wife of the previous owner, filled with all kinds of potted plants, and a small row of bamboos planted in the corner, with a stone table and four stone benches in the middle, which looked like it had been dusted for a long time.
There were no lights in the small garden, only distant lights and dim moonlight vision.
Mo Xinyu cautiously slowed down, his gaze swept over the small garden inch by inch.
Suddenly he seemed to hear something......
"Someone's coming...... Come on, people......" A faint voice came from the depths of darkness.
He turned his head to look at the four of them, and the four looked at him at a loss.
"Sure enough, it's four oil bottles!" Mo Xinyu scolded secretly in his heart, thinking about whether it was time to train these four guys well, it would not be good to let them be so wasteful......
But now was not the time to think about it, he threw them all out of his head, concentrated, and cautiously approached the direction from which the voice came.
Although they left in a hurry and didn't bring lanterns, as a master of practicing internal strength, Mo Xinyu's five senses were strengthened to a certain extent, and with the dim moonlight, he still quickly found the figure in the darkness.
The man was a stout man, who seemed to be wounded, leaning against a wall and making a faint cry for help.
"It's not from the Zhuang's Mansion!" After taking a look at the clothes, Mo Xinyu immediately made a judgment in his heart, took out the long knife on his waist and beckoned behind him, and then walked towards the man.
When he got closer, he had clearly seen the injury on the man's body, and he had been stabbed in the chest, but the wound was not deep and did not hurt the vital point, but it seemed to be excessive blood loss, and the man's consciousness was already a little blurred.
Mo Xinyu sneered, signaled the four people behind him to stay where they were and not move, and walked forward by themselves.
Tonight here and now, if it were someone else, he might have been deceived, but he Mo Xinyu was different, as an experienced old fritter, he could see at a glance that this knife wound was clearly split by the person himself!
This little carving insect skill wants to lure him over? Hehe......
He walked forward step by step with his head lowered, and just as he felt that the distance was almost over, the long knife shook, and he was about to take it by surprise, when a deep voice sounded in his ears:
"Mo Xinyu, are those four flies still obedient?"
Mo Xinyu was struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned in place!
