Chapter 177: Midnight*
The two men soon arrived at the door of the small building, and they were two young women, thin and sallow, who should have been slaves and maids bought from the tooth shop.
One of the two women was holding a food box in his hand, one of them was holding a tray in his hand, with a teapot and a teacup on it, and walked to the door to see the door blocking the door, and the fierce look was Awu, one of the women trembled and said, "The slave slave and the slave maid were ordered by the fourth master to send food over, and the fourth and fourth master said, let the third young lady eat and eat first, and he will come over to see ...... in a while."
Seeing that the eyes of the person in front of her were getting colder and colder, the woman finally couldn't speak, closed her mouth, and only stood at the door with her head down and trembling.
Ah Wu looked at the two of them coldly for a while before he gave up his position and said, "Send it in." ”
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, took the food box tray in their hands, entered the room where Cheng Xi was, put the tray food box on the table, one took the food in the food box outside, and the other poured tea for Cheng Xi, and when everything was ready, the two of them stood beside Cheng Xi in an orderly manner, and said, "Third young lady, please eat." ”
Cheng Xi waved his hand at the two of them, "I don't need you here, you can go back." ”
One of them looked at Cheng Xi hesitantly, in the end, Cheng Xi was not as terrible as Ah Wu, this girl didn't stammer, and said, "But the fourth master said, let the slaves stay here tonight to serve the third young lady." ”
Cheng Xi waved his hand impatiently, "I don't want you to serve here, what should you do." ”
The two girls looked at Cheng Xi with a hesitant expression, "This?" ”
Only at this time, Ah Wu had already entered the house, looked at the two girls behind Cheng Xi, and said coldly, "Didn't you hear?" Do you want me to get you out? ”
The two girls glanced at Ah Wu, trembled in fright, and said to Cheng Xi, "The slave and maid retire", and the two of them ran away.
Ah Wu followed him all the way to the door, and when he saw the two girls running away, he turned around and said to Cheng Xi, "My subordinates will try to see if there is a problem with the meal first." ”
After that, he took a pair of chopsticks on the table, tasted every dish on the table, put down the chopsticks and said to Cheng Xi, "Madam, there is no problem, you can eat it." ”
Cheng Xi also picked up the chopsticks and said to Ah Wu, "Let's eat together." ”
Ah Wu hesitated, but obediently took the chopsticks, and the two of them ate silently around the table.
Halfway through eating, Ah Wu suddenly stopped his movements and said to Cheng Xi, "Madam, someone is coming, my subordinates go out to have a look." ”
After finishing speaking, he put down his chopsticks and walked out quickly, and after going out to take a look, Ah Wu came in again, frowned slightly and said to Cheng Xi, "It's Xu Wenyu who came over." ”
Cheng Xi also frowned, looked at the bed in the room, and said, "You go out and close the door, guard the door, if he asks, you will say that I am tired from riding in the carriage and have fallen asleep." ”
After speaking, Cheng Xi blew out the oil lamp on the table, walked quickly over to the bed, and lay down casually, listening to the movement outside.
After a while, there was a sound of talking outside.
Even in the face of Xu Wenyu, Ah Wu's voice was still so cold that he wanted to freeze to death, "Madame is asleep." ”
Immediately after that, Xu Wenyu's voice came, "Sleep so early? Have you eaten? Or is it in this house? I'll take a look. ”
Cheng Xi frowned slightly when he heard it in the room, Ah Wu said that he had already slept, and this person actually came in to take a look, and he was really uneasy and kind.
How could Ah Wu let Xu Wenyu have another chance to come in, firmly guarded the door, and spoke again, the same tone, the same words. "Madame is asleep."
Xu Wenyu stood at the door, followed by two subordinates, holding a lantern in his hand, Xu Wenyu looked at the guard at the door who was blocking his way like a piece of wood, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he also knew very well that this person was even more powerful than the person who had done it to his subordinates before, otherwise the one who followed Cheng Xi would not have been replaced by this person.
Xu Wenyu stood at the door, through the crack in the door, there was no light or sound in it, and then looked at Ah Wu at the door, and finally turned around and left with a gloomy face.
After a while, Ah Wucai stood at the door and said to Cheng Xi, who was lying on the bed inside, "Madam, the person is gone." ”
Cheng Xi sat up and said to the door, "Come in." ”
The two of them had dinner, cleaned up casually, and then found some cold water to wash casually, Cheng Xi said to Ah Wu, "Tie the door, and then you can find a room to rest." ”
Ah Wu nodded, "The subordinates are next door, if there is anything Madame can hear from the subordinates, Madame can rest at ease, and the subordinates paid attention to it when they came in, the people here are ordinary people, as long as there are not too many people, the subordinates can deal with it, Madame can rest assured." ”
Cheng Xi nodded and responded, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
After that, Ah Wu went out and bolted the outside door and went to the next room to rest.
Cheng Xi was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, but she couldn't sleep, she only hoped that Ah Wen could find a rescuer as soon as possible, she really didn't want to stay with Xu Wenyu for a day.
finally fell asleep in a daze, and was soon awakened by the movement outside, different exclamations came from outside, and then Xu Wenyu's frightened voice sounded, "Why didn't you sleep?" ”
Immediately afterwards, he heard Ah Wu's cold voice answer him, "* The concentration is not enough, and the amount is not enough." ”
Ah Wu's knife was still on Xu Wenyu's neck, and a few people who followed him finally got up from the ground, someone lit the lamp in the hall, and saw Ah Wu holding Xu Wenyu hostage, so he said excitedly, "What do you want to do, let go of my family." ”
Xu Wenyu, who could always maintain a calm face, was on his neck at this time, but he was also a little panicked, and said in a panic, "You, you, take the knife away?" ”
Ah Wu didn't move, and he kept this posture, "Why do you give us a *?" ”
Xu Wenyu's eyes flickered, "Did the strong man misunderstand?" What the*? ”
The knife that Ah Wu put on Xu Wenyu's neck tightened, and Xu Wenyu was frightened and said loudly, "I am now the governor of Yuncheng, you have to think clearly, if you kill me, your wife and you will become murderers of the imperial court officials, even if your martial arts are powerful and you become a murderer of the imperial court, do you still have a life?" ”
"But if the fourth uncle pushes me to be anxious, it's a big deal to stop living, maybe I'll have a fish to die and break the net." Cheng Xi said as he came out of the house through the door.
Xu Wenyu looked at Cheng Xi and was fine, his eyes flickered, and he said, "Xi'er, this must be a misunderstanding, you quickly let your guard take the knife away." ”
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Wenyu coldly, and said, "I don't know what the fourth uncle wants to do in the middle of the night, when he is going down to our house and bringing people over?" ”
Xu Wenyu hurriedly responded, "This is really a misunderstanding, what*, aren't you all fine?" I brought someone here because I was worried about your safety because I caught the assassin of the Murong Yu Party who took revenge on me, so I came to take a look. ”
Cheng Xi snorted coldly, "Really? ”
Xu Wenyu nodded, "Really, you quickly ask your guards to bring the knife, we have something to say." ”
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Wenyu coldly, "What the hell is going on, I think the fourth uncle knows it very well in his heart, I will also say it in front, and next time, this sword is not long-sighted, I won't think about any consequences, it's a big deal, it's nothing." ”
After speaking, Cheng Xi glanced at Ah Wu, and Ah Wu took the knife in his hand and threw it on the ground.
Finally got rid of the dangling big knife on his neck, Xu Wenyu's legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground, but his subordinates came over quickly to help him.
The other people were holding knives in front of Xu Wenyu and looked at Ah Wu with a vigilant expression.
Cheng Xi said in a cold voice, "What, is the fourth uncle planning to regret it?" Arrested us as assassins? ”
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Xu Wenyu's eyes, and then he said with a smile, "Where does Xi'er want to go, it's all a misunderstanding, how could the fourth uncle do this, Xi'er should rest early, the fourth uncle still has to catch the assassin, your guards are so powerful, it seems that I don't have to worry about it." ”
After speaking, Xu Wenyu waved his hand towards his subordinates and left quickly.
After walking away, the guards beside Xu Wenyu said unwillingly, "My lord, let's just let them go, that guy still kidnapped the adult." ”
Xu Wenyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a cold tone, "Do you think you can be his opponents?" ”
The guards behind him stopped talking, and Xu Wenyu continued, "Let him be arrogant for a few more days, and when he arrives in Cloud City, even if his martial arts are powerful, there is a way to clean him up." ”
Cheng Xi's side, as soon as Xu Wenyu left, Ah Wu asked with concern, "Is there something wrong with Madame?" ”
Cheng Xi shook his head and asked, "You said they went down?" Why didn't I smell it? ”
Ah Wu responded, "I didn't expect this person to have some means, he was able to get this colorless and odorless *, his subordinates didn't smell it, but saw them blow it into his subordinates' houses.* Fortunately, Mrs. Wise, she thought of their means yesterday and took precautions." ”
Cheng Xi sighed, "In the future, we have to be more careful, I'm afraid that all kinds of means to deal with us will emerge in an endless stream, and when we get to Cloud City, we are afraid that it will be more dangerous, I just hope that Ah Wen will find Xu Sanlang as soon as possible and move to the rescue, otherwise we will be really dangerous." ”
Ah Wu is also worried in his heart, although he is not as smart as Ah Wen, but he is not stupid, this Xu Wenyu did not move him, because he was afraid of his martial arts, and he did not have enough manpower to deal with him at present, and when he arrived in Yuncheng, he was afraid that he would be stabbed, if something went wrong with him, no one would protect Madame, and Madam would be in danger.
At this time, Ah Wu's heart was the same as Cheng Xi's, and he only hoped that he could move to the rescuers as soon as possible to save them, but Ah Wu didn't put his worries on his face, and persuaded and comforted Cheng Xi, "Madam, don't worry, Ah Wen will definitely find a rescuer to save us as soon as possible." ”
Cheng Xi sighed and responded, "I hope they won't make any more moths tonight, let's go back to the house and rest." ”
After speaking, Cheng Xi went back to the house with a heavy face, lay down for a while and got up again, and lit the oil lamp in the house with a fire fold.
In fact, Cheng Xi is not very bold, she remembers that she used to be afraid of the dark when she stayed alone in the house.
After Xu Sanlang left, there was a hundred years old to accompany her, and then a hundred years old gradually grew up, and when she went to Lihua Village and separated from her, she gradually adapted to being alone, but just now something like this happened, Cheng Xi was lying on the bed in the dark, and he panicked, let alone sleeping.
Ah Wu next door was also very alert, and when he heard Cheng Xi's movements, he was already standing at Cheng Xi's door, and asked out loud, "Madam?" But what's the matter? ”
Cheng Xi responded, "It's nothing, I'll get up and drink saliva, you can sleep." ”
