Chapter 164: Night Exploration of the City Lord's Mansion
Under the moonlight, a slender black shadow flexibly climbed into the wall of the City Lord's Mansion, quietly shuttling in places where the light could not shine.
Two maids came from the direction of the corridor, the two of them were carrying food and clothes respectively, Ling Ling secretly observed, and saw that the maid was carrying a woman's clothes, she didn't think about it, and quietly followed behind the two maids.
They went straight to the small courtyard where Ling Ling had lived before, and the two maids went out not long after entering the house, leaving empty-handed.
After confirming that the maid had left, Ling Ling quietly came to the front of the house.
The door was locked, the candles were flickering, no one was visible from the window, and it was so quiet that no movement could be heard.
Ling Ling used a flying knife to cut a hole in the window paper, leaned in to inspect the situation in the house, and saw a woman in black sitting on the edge of the bed facing her, with the clean clothes in the hands of the maid just now, and the food was neatly placed on the tea table.
The woman in black came to the tea table, glanced at the food on the table, took out a silver needle from the cuff and pierced it into the food, seeing that the needle was faintly black, she wiped the silver needle, hid it back in the cuff, came to the side of the bed and took out the box in the dark compartment, poured part of the food into the box, and put it back in the dark compartment.
Then he sat down at the tea table, poured a cup of tea casually, and brought it to his lips.
Under the candlelight, Yan Yun's side face lost a lot of weight, her face was pale, and she couldn't see any blood.
Ling Ling frowned, and just opened his mouth to call Yan Yun over, there was movement at the gate of the courtyard not far away, and Ling Ling immediately turned sideways and hid in the darkness.
"That Ling Ling handed over Mingyue City to you to take care of, but she stayed in Night City, and you haven't seen her come to you in the past few days when you were imprisoned, it seems that she doesn't care about you and Mingyue City at all!"
A slightly hoarse male voice came from the room, Ling Ling quietly looked in through the gap, only to see three men in black standing opposite Yan Yun, the man in the middle was the speaker, his side face covered by hair could be vaguely seen in the gap, the moment the man turned his face to look at Yan Yun, a hideous scar on the right side of his face was particularly obvious.
The man in black who knew Mingyue City well and had scars, Ling Ling only knew one, the one who almost killed her and Bai Feiye some time ago! Unexpectedly, after that day, he took the opportunity to turn his momentum to Bright Moon City!
Yan Yun smiled disdainfully, and didn't look at them at all,
"Do you think I'll believe this kind of thing coming out of your mouth?" She tasted tea lightly, "I'm not a fool, if you want Bright Moon City, you can only start from me." But if I don't open my mouth, none of the 800 elite soldiers in the city and all the people in Longyunmen will listen to you, and you are hindered by their strength, so they can't move them, so you can only imprison me here. ”
As she spoke, Yan Yun raised her eyes to look at the night, her heroic face was pale, and her eyes were cold,
"Sowing discord is useless to me."
"Hahaha...... "Nightshade laughed, "what a faithful dog!" ”
He leaned in front of Yan Yun, his fingers held her chin, his eyes were fierce and vicious,
"I have already poisoned the food you eat, and if you don't take the antidote within three days, then you will start with your face, your whole body will fester, and finally turn into a pool of blood,"
Yan Yun struggled to shake off his hand and sat on the edge of the bed as if nothing had happened.
Ye Ying rubbed his hands and continued, "You only have three days, so let's do it yourself!" ”
Ling Ling was itching outside the window, and she wanted to rush in immediately and break the three of them into pieces, but because of the high level of night martial arts, and with two people, her chances of winning were really not high, so she could only stand still.
Just as she was engrossed and waiting for Ye Ying to leave the house, someone suddenly slapped her on the shoulder, and Ling Ling immediately took out a flying knife and turned around to fight with the man.
Ye Ming turned around and was about to leave the house, when he suddenly heard movement from the window in the corner, his expression was cold, and he immediately said to the two men in black beside him,
"Hurry up and check it out!"
Two men in black quickly came outside the house and carefully inspected the surroundings of the house.
"Meow~"
Just by the window where Ling Ling had just eavesdropped, a black cat sat on the windowsill, lazily licking its paws.
The two men looked at each other and walked towards the door.
"Who's where?"
Nightshade asked in a cold voice.
"Lord Hui, it's just a black cat." A man in black said.
"These days, I have been taking care of this small courtyard, and not a single bird can be put in it!"
"Yes, sir!"
Night Styx looked around, and after confirming that it was correct, he left the small courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Red Candle was looking back and forth in the corner, calculating the time when Ling Ling entered, a gust of wind blew behind him, Red Candle's eyes were cold, and he didn't want to ask who was coming, so he drew his sword and fought with the uninvited guest behind him.
The two staggered, under the sporadic moonlight, the other party was dressed in a red shirt, with an evil smile on his handsome face, he turned sideways, blocked the sword stabbed by the red candle, and whispered,
"Ling Ling asked me to come to you."
When the red candle heard this, he immediately withdrew his sword, looked at the red-shirted man in front of him suspiciously, and saw him say respectfully,
"In Xia Qiyi, one of the four guardians of Longyun Gate, because something suddenly happened, our young master just left the City Lord's Mansion from the other side, let me call the red candle girl back to the inn to talk in detail."
Facing the man in red who suddenly appeared, Red Candle hesitated a little, seeing her frowning and looking at herself, Qi Yi stepped forward and approached her, and handed the sword in his hand to Red Candle.
"Don't worry, girl, I'm not a bad person."
After that, Qi Yi left in the direction of the inn with his hand, Red Candle looked at the sword in his hand, then at the red figure that was getting farther away, shook his head, and followed.
In the inn, Ling Ling took out the golden medicine given to her by Wei Fanhua from her baggage, walked to the table, and handed it to Chu Bo, who showed one shoulder,
"I'm sorry, I thought it was the Night Underworld, so I started a little harder,"
Seeing that a not-so-big wound on Chu Bo's shoulder was spilling blood, remembering the scene where he had fought with Chu Bo in the City Lord's Mansion and stabbed him with a flying knife, Ling Ling's face was full of apologies, "This is the medicine that my master dispenses, and the wound healing effect is particularly good." ”
Chu Bo took the medicine bottle, a trace of softness appeared on his tough and serious face, he pressed the wound on his shoulder with gauze, and quipped to Ling Ling,
"It seems that I also have to find more people to fight and improve my martial arts, but I can't be thrown too far by you."
Seeing his indifferent appearance, Ling Ling felt a little less apologetic,
"Everything happened too suddenly, and I haven't had time to ask you, when did you and Qi Yi come to Bright Moon City?"
"It's just these two days," Chu Bo gritted his teeth and sprinkled the medicinal powder on the wound, "After learning that Yan Yun was missing in Mingyue City, I put down what I was doing and quietly sneaked into Mingyue City. ”
"So, today you are also going to check on the situation in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Chu Bo nodded, "I went in once last night, but there were too many guards, and I couldn't find the place where they imprisoned Yan Yun, and when I sneaked in again tonight, I didn't think I would meet you." ”
Ling Ling said while helping Chu Bo tie the gauze on his shoulders,
"The people who imprisoned Yan Yun are the people who occupied Mingyue City before, and they poisoned the food they gave Yan Yun, but I know from the beginning that Yan Yun has been pretending, but this is not for long, now that she is weak, we must rescue her as soon as possible."
While speaking, Ling Ling helped Chu Bo tie up his wound and cleaned up the remaining gauze and medicine bottles on the table.
Chu Bo didn't reply, a pair of eyes stared straight at her, taking in her every expression.
There was a sudden silence around her, Ling Ling turned her head to look, and saw Chu Bo looking at her thoughtfully, she frowned slightly,
"Why did you suddenly stop talking?"
