Chapter 26 The Thing Returns to Its Rightful Owner
As the night deepened, the Providence Villa, which had been noisy for a day, was like a beast that had fallen into a deep sleep, closed its eyes slightly, and gradually quieted down.
The silence made the drum sound of the third watch appear extremely clear, and it could be heard from several streets.
There is no moon tonight, and a few sparse stars emit a faint light, that is, the five fingers that can be seen in front of the nose.
A figure that was also black, almost blending into the dark night, light as a tanuki, turned over, and jumped onto the high outer wall of the Providence Villa, without a sound.
Next, the figure began to jump from one roof to another, discerning the direction from time to time, and occasionally avoiding the patrol, Zhuang Ding actually began to search for the huge Providence Villa.
The man's body was slender and tall, but he was extremely flexible, not only did he not alarm the Zhuang Ding who guarded the surrounding areas of the Hidden Garden, but even those who were hidden in the shadows were guarded by him.
In the Hidden Garden, the only room that is still brightly lit, the mysterious old man is holding a palm-sized brocade box in his hand, and the light blue teardrop crystal is exuding a faint light.
The light of the candle fell through the curtain on the face of the man in black, but his face became paler and paler, except for a pair of eyes, which seemed to be deeper than the night.
His eyes were firmly fixed on the teardrop crystal, obviously extremely excited in his heart, even his hands clenched into fists couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the green tendons protruding from the back of his hands were powerless to hide even the night.
In the room, the old man who was close to the sixtieth birthday was already in good spirits, and he did not have the slightest tiredness.
He finally found his long-lost daughter, which can be regarded as a matter of heart. However, with the appearance of the tears of the demon princess, it added another thing to his heart.
It wasn't just one of his daughters who disappeared back then! His son, who was born with the "tears of the demon concubine" in his mouth, he always thought that he died early. But later I learned that I should have suffered the same fate as my daughter Lingxin, who was exiled and uncertain about her life and death.
The double plum blossom mole on the palm of Lingxin's left foot was extremely clear, and he could determine at a glance that she was his daughter. And she seems to still have some memories of her childhood, which is enough to explain her identity.
The daughter was found, but by the way, his whereabouts were still unknown, and when he returned to him, there was only a tear of the demon concubine.
The night was already dark, and he confirmed Lingxin's identity again, and Shan Zheng naturally left. And Yang Jin had already rested in the next room.
If it weren't for the fact that it was too late, he would really want to summon the girl named "Xue'er" again, and ask about the owner of the Tears of the Demon Concubine she had seen.
Just as he was looking at the tears of the demon concubine, suddenly there was a faint sound of breaking the sky!
A strong wind went straight towards the bright candle flame in the room, as if it had eyes, and in an instant, the candle flame was completely extinguished, and the room was pitch black!
In the darkness, the man in black outside the window recognized the position, took the opportunity to jump in, rolled on the spot, and the person was already in front of the old man!
He shot like lightning, and before the old man could react, he quickly brushed the brocade box in the other party's hand, and at the same time whispered: "It's the thing that has returned to its original owner!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and forgot to call for help for a while, and was thinking about the meaning of these words, so he felt that the brocade box in his hand was light, and there seemed to be a wind passing by him, which was fleeting!
"What people!"
The sudden extinguishing candle flame in the room caused Yang Jin in the next room to be alarmed, and he immediately got up, only to see a black shadow flying out of the window. He only had time to shout, and the other party was already gone!
This sound naturally also alarmed the guards hidden in the shadows and the Zhuang Ding guarding in the light, and even a team of Zhuang Ding who patrolled here hurried over!
For a while, the lights were bright, and the footsteps were chaotic, and the room where the old man was located was instantly surrounded by water!
At this time, Yang Jin had already rushed into the old man's room, and the fire fold flew out, and the wax paper that had just been extinguished was ignited almost at the same time.
The room was bright again, and the old man's face turned a little pale, and he looked down at the empty brocade box, and then thought of the words before the man left, and his eyes flickered, like a candle that had just been lit.
"Tell me to go down, and this matter is not allowed to be publicized!"
Seeing that the old man was unharmed, Yang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could speak, the old man's voice came: "Also, don't alarm anyone!"
The resoluteness of that expression blocked all the words that Yang Jin was going to say next.
Yang Jin had no choice but to go first to appease the light and dark guards who were alarmed outside: "It's just a wild cat that is disturbing, it's okay." Return, no desertion! ”
Simply gave a reason, as for whether those people were willing to believe Yang Jin or not, he couldn't care about it, what he was eager to know now was that it was clearly the assassin who came in, but the old man didn't allow it to be silent.
The guards who had gathered in an instant dispersed again, each returning to his or her own post, and the courtyard was once again calm as if nothing had happened.
Yang Jin turned around and returned to the old man's room again, and saw that the old man was deep in thought about the empty brocade box in his hand.
He didn't know what he thought of, and he didn't look up when Yang came in, but just asked, "Is that girl still there?" ”
Yang Jinleng paused for a moment, and then realized that the old man was talking about the girl who was brought down by them at sea and wore the tears of the demon concubine. He thought for a moment: "According to Qiuru Qiuping, I came back once this evening, but then I was taken away by the young owner of the Heavenly Providence Villa, and I haven't returned since. ”
"Now go find it." The old man only said these four words in the end, and then he was distracted by the empty brocade box again.
Besides, the man in black held the tears of the demon concubine in the palm of his hand, but he only left the Hidden Garden, not the Providence Villa. His body was like a black lightning bolt, and in a swift leap, he jumped to the roof again!
In the Hidden Garden, the instantaneous lights and the instantaneous calm also fell into his eyes. It's just that since the other party didn't want to make a noise, he settled down and continued to search.
The undulating roof was as flat as the ground to him. Just a tap of your toes, and you leap far away.
It's just that since he left the Hidden Garden, he seems to have lost his purpose, and almost as long as there is a room for people, he has to stay for a while, and then leave quickly.
Obviously, he was looking for something or someone, but he only knew that it was in Providence Villa, and to be more specific, he didn't know anything.
Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to go to Zhuang Ding who does not alarm the patrol.
What's more, at this moment, the Providence Villa has just rescued many scattered saints from overseas islands, and those who went with them had not had time to say goodbye, so they caught up with Shan Tianjiao's funeral, so they delayed it again and stayed in the Providence Villa for the time being.
Finally, a big man who got up at night noticed a hint of breaking the air, so he opened his mouth to yell!
The black-clothed man's gaze was even deeper, the night covered his movements, and he didn't know how his figure moved, and before the big man could speak, he was directly choked by his throat.
When he was about to twist the big man's neck, the man in black seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally stretched out his fingers instead, and the big man immediately stiffened his whole body and fell down!
The man in black didn't dare to linger long, turned around and quickly threw the big man into the bushes not far away, and then jumped onto the roof again.
His figure, once again blending with the night, was only a slightly pale face, which was even paler.
In the night, the quiet Providence Villa, the movement in the hidden garden is like a calm waveless water surface, suddenly a small stone is thrown, only three or two circles of slight ripples, and then calm again.
A pair of patrolling Zhuang Ding passed by him, and he rolled over and hid in the rockery next to him until the men left.
He found that today's Providence Villa seemed to be no different from usual, but it seemed to be on high alert inside. Although Zhuang Ding, who patrols brightly, is still the same number, the number of patrols has obviously increased a lot. As for the ambushes in the shadows, there are at least dozens more than in the past!
Not far ahead, the lights came on again, and the man in black restrained his breath and quietly touched it again.
"Confused!"
The middle-aged man was still in a dark blue robe, his square face was the same as that of the young man kneeling on the ground, and the beautiful woman in the lilac dress next to him looked more and more pale under the candlelight, but the reproach in his eyes could not be concealed.
The young man kneeling on the ground kept his head down, his eyes falling on the ground in front of his own knees, but his expression was not visible.
"If such a big thing happens, you don't know how to report it to me, do you still have my father in your eyes?" The middle-aged man in the dark blue robe was furious, "Let's not talk about whether you have the ability to solve the problem of those scattered saints, even if you can, you shouldn't be in a hurry at this time!" ”
The middle-aged beauty in light purple clothes also said, "Tianying, your eldest brother is no longer here." In the future, the burden of Providence Villa will fall on you alone. When you do something, you should think twice. ”
She sighed: "You also know what the phoenix-patterned jade pendant on that girl's body means, and the relationship between her family and us." Even if it's just an ordinary woman, you shouldn't leave her alone in such a lonely place in the middle of the night with two human skins......
When the man in black heard this, he seemed to understand something, and he didn't want to alarm the three people, so he quietly retreated again, without making a sound, until he withdrew a certain distance, he turned around and began to walk the wall again.
In the distance, the middle-aged man's voice came: "Today, your mother asked you to invite that girl over twice in a row, but you either brought her to the gate or left her alone in a place like Sushuangzhai!" Not once did what your mother wanted, is there still a mother in your eyes? ”
Stop fasting!
The footsteps of the man in black paused again, he recognized the direction, and his figure rose and fell a few times, and then disappeared into the night again!
