Chapter 15: The Man in Black
"Senior sister, isn't that the kid named Shen Jing?"
Nan Qiaoben was enjoying the night view along the Luoshui coast comfortably, when he suddenly heard Senior Sister Ciyin, who was sitting on the side, speak.
Following the direction pointed by the senior sister, she suddenly found Shen Jing in the crowd, the young man who went to Yunmeng Mountain two days ago, and at this time he was still followed by a little girl.
"His wounds seem to be healed." Nan Qiao muttered to himself. She still remembers the appearance of Shen Jing being beaten that day, but in just two days, he was already well. She was a little surprised.
Thinking of this, Nan Qiao couldn't help but think of the pill he handed over before going down the mountain that day. Anyway, there is no grudge between them. For Shen Qian's feelings, she has always been mixed. The bad half came from the marriage he talked to his master about that day, and when he thought of this Nan Qiao, he felt that he was a bad embryo.
Ciyin naturally also saw Shi Yu who was following Shen Jing, although Shen Jing and they were downstairs, they were not far away from the two of them, and they could see it more clearly from a high position. When she saw that Shi Yu was a cute and lovely little girl, Ciyin muttered: "This bad boy, I told my uncle a few days ago that I asked for a kiss, and today I will play with other girls, hum!" ”
Senior Sister Ciyin's straightforward and fast-talking temperament, Nan Qiao knows, so Nan Qiao doesn't care about her words.
"Senior sister, don't talk nonsense, it has nothing to do with me which woman he plays with!"
Hearing Nan Qiao's words, Ciyin knew that she had lost her words, so she smiled and patted her mouth and said, "Bah, bah! The little junior sister is so good, so I can't look down on him! ”
After speaking, she changed her words and said, "However, yesterday I saw that Uncle Shi seemed to have a good impression of him. Speaking of which, he is also a good person, and he did not fall down after being taught a lesson like his uncle a few days ago. By the way, what is the impression of his sister? ”
Senior Sister Ciyin asked again today, Nan Qiao is no longer as panicked as when the master talked about it that day. There was some joking in the master's tone, but Senior Sister Ciyin was not, Nan Qiao could hear that this was concern.
She thought for a moment and said lightly: "I don't hate him that much. But if you can't talk about good feelings, it's a sense of moderation. ”
Hearing this, Ciyin nodded. It is also said that the little junior sister does not have much contact with the other party, it is too early to talk about these at this time, and the identity of the little master is also a hurdle. However, if it is really possible for the two of them, with the name of that person's master Sword God, the General's Mansion will not feel that he has lost his name. Of course, it all depends on what the two of them mean.
The two of them were upstairs, and after talking about Shen Jing again, they turned the topic to tonight's matter.
Ciyin took a few junior sisters down the mountain to buy today, and met Nan Qiao on the way back, and heard Nan Qiao talk about the arrest of the prisoner by the Prison Heaven Division, so she thought about helping the little junior sister, so she asked a few junior sisters to go back to Yunmeng Mountain together, and she stayed. However, since nightfall, the city has been a peaceful scene, and there is no sign of thieves causing trouble.
Shen Kuang and Shi Yu walked along the riverbank all the way, and when they saw a candy seller here, he smiled and said to Shi Yu: "Do you want one?" Shi Yu looked at it fixedly, and then slowly nodded in agreement, Xu felt a little embarrassed, so the voice of the promise was very small.
"Old man, here are two sugar men." Shen Guo said to the store with a smile.
"Okay boy, take one penny, you can take it!"
Shen Kuang and Shi Yu had just taken the candy man, and before they could start eating, they suddenly heard the sound of a commotion not far in front of them, and many people were moving to both sides of the road without taking care of themselves. After a while, the voice was getting closer and closer to Shen Jing, and only then did he hear the man's shout: "The Prison Heaven Division is handling the case, and the idle people are out of the way." ”
The man's tone was full of undeniable orders. Without waiting for Shen Jing to react, the group of people had already arrived in front of them in the next second, Shen Jing hurriedly pulled Shi Yu to the side, Shi Yu's movements were a little slower, and one of the people who ran past him actually threw him directly with a whip.
The whip came in a hurry, Shi Yu was subconsciously afraid to bow his head, thanks to Shen Qing's timely reaction and using the scabbard to pick it up, which did not hurt Shi Yu.
Among the few people who came, the leader was a woman dressed in a black official uniform, with a brown hat on her head, a pair of gilt boots on her feet, and a flying fish embroidered on the chest of her blouse. Just from his appearance and dress, Shen Jing could also see that the other party was probably a court official.
The person who shot just now was one of several people followed by this woman, and it seemed that he didn't expect Shen Jing to fight back, and wanted to whip it again, but the woman in the lead shouted in a low voice: "It's important to chase the suspect, don't delay the big thing!" ”
After speaking, she glanced at Shen Jing twice, and then hurriedly walked away with a few subordinates.
On the loft.
"The people from the Heavenly Prison Division have already been dispatched, and it seems that the person to be arrested is around here." It was Ciyin who had been paying attention to the movements of the night. As soon as the words fell, she and Nan Qiao also quickly left the small building with the footsteps of the Prison Heaven Division and the others.
For such a small episode, Shen Guan didn't care, and after comforting Shi Yu for a few words, he continued to play. It's just that this time Shi Yu has been very close to him, thinking that he was frightened by the scene just now.
Shen Jing didn't know if it was an illusion, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of the seventh lady of the General's Mansion and the person he had seen on Yunmeng Mountain that day on the building in the distance just now, but the figures of the two disappeared in a flash, and he couldn't see it clearly.
After thinking about it, I felt that it wasn't that important to see if they were them, so I stopped thinking about it. However, the feeling of playing before was disturbed by the few people just now, so looking at it now, he and Shi Yu's interest is not high.
The liveliness on both sides of Luoshui is still there, and the poetry club is probably in high spirits at this time, but it can no longer attract the interest of the two. After walking for another half an hour, I stayed until the willows on the moon, and then I planned to go back with Shiyu.
Different from the bustle of Changle Fang, walking back along Yongfeng Street, the farther you go out, the less lively the atmosphere on the street will be, but the surrounding restaurants are brightly lit, and the sound of pushing cups and changing lamps is also one after another, reflecting the atmosphere of the festival.
Leaving there, Shi Yu slowly regained her smile again, talking about the beautiful things she saw at night, and the candy man that Shen Jing bought for her. She smiled and said that she would also make a beautiful lantern to put in her own boudoir. Seeing that the smiling and cute little girl was back again, Shen Jing dispelled the idea of beating the group of people, sighed about the security of the big city, and chased after Shi Yu in front of him.
The lights were slowly fading, and only some lanterns could still be seen on the street, and the little girl was afraid of the dark, so she was next to him all the way. If there is a sudden barking of a dog on the side of the street, it can frighten Shi Yu and scream for a while.
The two of them walked slowly along Yongfeng Street in the direction of no alcohol, and after a while, they only heard a thud from the alley. Although the voice was low, it was enough to attract the attention of the two, Shen Jing and Shi Yu were startled, and their eyes looked into the depths of the alley on the left, but the moonlight couldn't shine there, and there was no lantern light, so they didn't know what the sound was.
The two stood on the side of the street for a moment, and seeing that there was no more sound in the alley, Shen Jing, who couldn't help but be curious, still wanted to step forward to take a look, and Shi Yu followed like this.
After walking a few steps to the entrance of the alley, almost reaching the place where the sound came from, Shen Jing stretched out his head and stared ahead, wanting to see if he could see clearly through the faint moonlight.
After looking at it for a while, he didn't see anything else, but saw a bright long sword stabbing from behind the bamboo basket in the corner of the wall. The faint smell of blood slowly spread into the noses of the two of them, and as a doctor, Shi Yu was the first to smell it, so he said: "Brother Shen, there is a smell of blood, this person is injured!" ”
Shen Kuang could also feel that the sword that the other party had just stabbed was weak and weak, and at such a close distance, according to common sense, he was already injured. He also smelled blood, and slowly even heard the rustling sound of the man crawling.
Shen Kuang didn't know who the other party was, so for the sake of safety, he let Shi Yu lean back, and he took two steps forward and looked behind the bamboo basket.
Behind the bamboo basket, a man in a night suit was lying against the wall, and when Shen Jing looked over in a blink of an eye, the man just took out a dagger, but this time it was not stabbed at Shen Jing, but on his own neck.
Shen was startled, and hurriedly rushed over with an arrow step, pinched his wrist and snatched the dagger. Seeing this, the man directly bit Shen Jing's hand regardless of it. Shen Jing suddenly felt a pain coming from his hand, and the man bit very hard, and he gasped in pain.
"Hey~, Your Excellency, we're not bad guys."
"Brother Shen, what's wrong!" Hearing Shen Jing's painful moan, Shi Yu shouted worriedly.
In the dark night, after hearing Shi Yu's voice, the person who bit Shen Guo didn't bite harder, slowly let go of his mouth, and said coldly: "Who are you?" ”
It was a woman's voice, probably because of the injury, so the tone of the speech was very weak at this time, but even so, the trace of coldness mixed in the words was still felt.
The woman let go, and Shen Jing quickly withdrew her hand and rubbed it. His hand was bitten by the other party and there was a neat row of tooth marks, and his hand had also been bitten and bleeding.
"Your Excellency, don't get me wrong, we just came back from Changle Fang and passed by here, and we heard a sound in the alley and came in to take a look." Shen said bitterly.
After a moment, after realizing that this woman was not in any danger, Shen Jing beckoned Shi Yu to come over. "Shi Yu, come and see her, she's injured."
Shi Yu had been worried about the back, and when he heard Shen Jing's words, he ran over with small steps. Facing the faint moonlight, Shen Jing could see that the woman's upper body had been wet with blood, even though she was wearing a night dress at the moment, but the strong smell of blood type was lingering.
Because of her weakness, she fought with Shen Jing again, and the woman seemed to have exhausted all the strength of her body, at this time, her lips were white and terrifying, and her eyes were slowly dilating, and she couldn't say a word.
After checking the other party's injuries, Shi Yu said anxiously: "Brother Shen, we have to take her back quickly, she has lost too much blood, and she will die if she is not treated!" ”
