Chapter 47: The Host and the Guest
On the day of the fourth watch, the turmoil in various parts of the city had subsided. The onlookers of the good deeds couldn't resist the sleepiness and returned to the bed to continue their dreams.
Ning Jian took advantage of the coolness of the night to figure out many things.
That's why he's here now.
Didn't deliberately hide, knocked generously on the door. Of course, no one will open the door at this time, so you have to do it yourself.
Climb over the wall.
The movements were still very light, and Ning Jian knew that he would be scolded if he made noise in the middle of the night and went to the neighborhood.
The yard is not big, with some flowers and plants. It's just that there is a lack of care on weekdays, and the growth is not very pleasing.
The main house, facing the main gate, was still lit.
Ning Jian had the consciousness of being a guest, and closed the door casually after entering the house. Don't let the cool of the night wash away the warmth of the house.
There was a book of poems on the table, and it seemed that the owner liked it very much and read it many times. Even the corners have turned yellow and curled. Ning Jian flipped through the two pages at random, not appetizing.
Boil a pot of water and wait.
Boiling water gushes out a steamy sapour, which brings a pleasant moistness in the dry early spring. Ning Jian, who had been busy for a day and a night, was quite thirsty at this time.
The master didn't let Ning Jian wait for a long time, and then came back.
Pushing the door in, he glanced at Ning Jian on the side, and didn't care. He took off his robe and hung it on a hanger, and went to fetch water to wash his face.
"You young people stay up less late, or you'll be sick at my age." ”
Ning Jian replied: "Once in a while, it's okay. ”
When the master saw that the water was already boiling, he grabbed two handfuls of tea leaves and put them in a cup, boiling water and brewing them. Bring a cup to Ning Jian.
"This tea was given to me by the first city lord many years ago, and I was reluctant to drink it on weekdays, but now I am almost finished. "Blow and sip, and the hot steam rises.
The guest has something to say, but the host is not in a hurry to ask.
Half of the tea had already been drunk, and the master wanted to add water, but Ning Jian couldn't help but speak first.
Just as the boy opened his mouth to make the first sound, the master's words stood out like an iron horseman, and he was caught off guard.
"Tell me what's going on. ”
With this interjection, Ning Jian suddenly felt that the breath in his chest was blocked, and the words that were already in his mouth were cut off by force, stuck in his throat and unable to enter or exit.
This person is so powerful!
Borrowing half a cup of hot tea, Ning Jian finally calmed down the depressed breath, and looked at the owner who was drinking tea indifferently, unaware of it.
After rearranging his thoughts, Ning Jian finally spoke.
"Actually, I've crossed paths with you a few times. ”
"The first time I learned about your existence was through Hiroko of the Black Wolf Gang, when the man with the cigarette stick on his chest in the dark room was not dead. Unfortunately, the secret door of the bookshelf was so tightly knit that I could only hear the sound. ”
The master's face didn't show any surprise, "Go on." ”
"Naturally, you were the person behind the scenes of assisting the Black Wolf Gang in the development of the Three Immortals, and at that time I only knew that they called you an adult. ”
"The intersection between me and you should have been completely cut off after the fire in the tofu factory. ”
The owner reached out and took out a trace of tea residue from his mouth, "It's also interesting for me to kill people and you set fire." ”
Ning Jian continued: "Until recently, the city lord's daughter was seriously injured in an attack in the peach blossom forest outside the city, which immediately pushed the Black Wolf Gang to the forefront. ”
"I was there at the time, and I had a few words with the killer. He was coerced to the point of death. ”
Speaking of this, Ning Jian accentuated his tone: "You asked him to assassinate, you didn't care about success or not from the beginning, you just wanted to provoke Sun Xianbin. ”
"In this way, the situation can be pushed to this point tonight, and the City Lord's Mansion will go all out to exterminate the Black Wolf Gang. ”
"The reason is nothing more than borrowing a knife to kill people, and protecting one's life. ”
The master smiled, "That's right, I have long planned to abandon the Black Wolf Gang. ”
Ning Jian's eyes were blazing, staring at the person in front of him: "I still don't understand, why did you always strategize such a stupid move, don't you think it's too urgent?"
"But it's also this doubt that reminds me of something. ”
The atmosphere in the room was finally solemn to the extreme, and Ning Jian threw out the finishing touch for tonight.
"On that day, the city lord held a banquet, and you personally sent the head of the Ning family to the gate of the mansion and greeted him for a while. I happened to be there again, but it wasn't until an hour ago that I remembered that your voice was exactly what I heard outside the secret door of the tofu shop. ”
"Master!"
This person is the on-site commander of the three-term city lord who served the three city lords and tonight's extermination operation, Liu Hesheng Master Liu.
The master, or rather the master, took out the snuffbox given by Ning Hanlin and took two puffs, and looked at the young man in front of him with satisfaction.
"Having said all that, you dare to come here alone with just a spirit tattoo scholar. I guess you have a backhand. ”
What Ning Jian wanted was debunked in person, and his complexion changed.
It was too late to say that it was too late, but I heard a loud noise, and the door of the courtyard had been smashed open. Heavily armored Praetorian Guards swarmed in, swords and shields held high.
The butcher next door was awakened by the noise, and was about to open the window to scold a few words, when he saw this scene, he immediately retreated in fright.
..........
Time goes back an hour ago.
Ning Jian looked at the two figures flying in the air from the City Lord's Mansion, and the cumbersome information in his mind was finally connected into a line.
It's over the wall again, who made him not pick the lock.
The City Lord's Mansion was still very large, and Ning Jian turned around twice and was not surprisingly lost.
Sun Wanyan had been lying in bed for several days, and she didn't feel sleepy at night. A person lying on the windowsill looking at the starry sky alone in a daze.
Thinking back to that day, the killer's flying sword was pierced through the abdomen, Sun Wanyan lost a lot of blood, and her consciousness tended to be blurred. I only felt myself leaning on his back, a little bumpy.
However, no matter how vague her consciousness was, as a woman's intuition, she still remembered that there was a girl who undressed and healed herself.
"Who's that woman?"
I didn't see much of my appearance, so I shouldn't be as good-looking as myself.
"But the medical skills are still good. Sun Wanyan touched the smooth and smooth skin of her wound, leaving no scars.
"Damn boy, he looks stupid and stupid on weekdays, and it's really all an illusion. The little girl had some resentment in her heart, and she couldn't guess the relationship between Ning Jian and the girl.
What made her even more angry was that Ning Jian sent her to the door of the house, and she actually threw her aside and left. The ground was so cold, and her ass was no less offended.
Another sigh, she thought to herself that she would not beg her father again tomorrow, that she could not be locked up in this boring room all day. When I chose to come here with my family, I just couldn't stand the boring and monotonous life under the mountain.
When she can get out of the house, she will go to Ning Jian's kid to settle the score.
Thinking of the young man's appearance, there was a trace of unclear warmth and shyness in his heart, and the roots of his ears immediately turned red. She hurriedly covered her face with her hands, and there she stomped and twisted her feet alone.
Suddenly, Sun Wanyan only felt that the light in front of her was slightly dim, and when she raised her head, she found that there was a person standing outside the window. Just as she wanted to scream for help, she covered her mouth with one hand.
The young man looked at Sun Wanyan, who had just behaved strangely, and said puzzledly:
"What are you doing?"
