Chapter 550: Breaking into the Mansion at Night
Ma Xiang followed everyone to Luoyang Yamen, and saw that all the people of the Niu family were taken to a nearby prison. He was naturally not interested in inquiring about the rest of the Niu family, but he still wanted to meet the fourth lady to know what was going on.
Ma Xiang thought that the fourth lady's mother and son had a meritorious report on Niu Ba, and the government must have arranged their mother and son in the yamen in order to protect Ma Xiang, so he circled around the yamen and watched the path in and out for a few nights.
By the time Ma Xiang finished observing the situation of the government, it was already evening. Ma Xiang didn't want to go back to the hospital for the time being, so he found a hotel called Rugui near the yamen and stayed there.
When it was time to arrive, in the dead of night, Ma Xiang changed into night clothes, quietly left the hotel, and went straight to the mansion. On summer nights, the moon is like water.
Ma Xiang took advantage of the moonlight to walk like a fly, and soon arrived outside the backyard wall of the mansion. He covered himself with a veil, and his body was on the wall.
There are dozens of houses and several rockeries and gardens in the backyard of the government, which are patrolled from time to time. Ma Xiang didn't know where the fourth lady was placed, so he could only check them one by one.
Ma Xiang looked for two or three houses, but found nothing. He was about to go to the next building to check, but he heard a coquettish voice from in front of him: "Where is the thief?" Dare to break into the government at night! Immediately afterward, the sound of swords clashing was heard, and footsteps were heard all around.
Someone had already alarmed the backyard, so Ma Xiang could only give up and continue to check and jumped onto the nearby roof.
Ma Xiang just wanted to run out, but saw a black shadow running towards this side on the roof. He hurriedly leaned on the roof, trying to see what was going on.
After a while, a black-clothed masked man with a sword in his hand ran quickly from not far from Lin Feng, followed by a catcher holding a steel knife and chased after him with a gust of wind.
Although these two people are good at light work, Ma Xiang has already seen that both of them are women. Especially the fast catcher in the back, judging from the back, it should be the female catcher Yue Xiang.
Ma Xiang was very curious, so he started his light work and followed. The three of them left the government one after another, one would run on the street, and the other would chase on the rooftop. Luckily, it was the dead of night and the streets were empty.
Yue Xiang's light skills seemed to be slightly better, and after chasing for a while, he came to the edge of a forest and approached the person in front. Yue Xiang immediately shouted: "Little thief, don't stop yet, don't blame this girl for attacking behind you!" ”
Ma Xiang's light skills are far better than Yue Xiang, and he has been following behind easily. As soon as he heard Yue Xiang's shouting, he thought to himself that although this Yue Xiang was a little arrogant and domineering, he was very concerned about the rules of the rivers and lakes, and he acted above board. If you change to a general catch, you would have started it directly, where would you talk more nonsense.
The man in black in front of him stopped, turned around slowly, and said, "Miss Yue, why do you have to kill them all?" When Yue Xiang heard the voice, she couldn't help but be surprised.
Yue Xiang's face sank, and he said, "It turned out to be Niu Baixue, the remnant of the Niu family!" Your martial arts skills are not high, but light skills are good! Since you escaped capture, why didn't you go into hiding, but instead ran to the government to die? ”
At this time, Ma Xiang also arrived and quietly flew onto a nearby big tree. He happened to hear Yue Xiang's words, and he was also surprised, but he didn't expect that the man in black was actually Bai Xue.
Bai Xue saw that Yue Xiang had revealed her identity, so she pulled down her veil and said, "Miss Yue, you are an upright and righteous person, you have always enforced the law impartially, and you have never wronged good people. My dad was obviously framed, I'm sure you can see it too! ”
Yue Xiang snorted coldly and said coldly: "Even if no one frames him, your father is also full of evil, and he is innocent!" What's more, the person who denounced your father this time is your own mother and brother. Don't talk nonsense, just grab it! ”
After Yue Xiang finished speaking, he waved his sword and went straight to Bai Xue. Bai Xue didn't dare to slack off, and raised her sword to greet her. Under the moonlight, the two girls came and went, their swords flashing, and they fought viciously.
After a few moves, Bai Xue fell into the wind. Yue Xiang's swordsmanship is superb, his internal strength is strong, and he has rich experience in fighting, so Bai Xue is obviously not an opponent.
Yue Xiang made one move faster than another, pressing on. Bai Xue fought and retreated, only the power to parry, and there was no way to fight back.
Although Ma Xiang hated the Niu family, he had a good impression of Bai Xue. Bai Xue is gentle and kind, and Ma Xiang doesn't want her to be caught by the government. Besides, he still wants to know about the situation of the fourth lady, and he can only go through Bai Xue.
At this moment, Yue Xiang shook away Bai Xue's sword with all his might, and then the silver sword flipped over, straight to Bai Xue's chest. The snow portal opened, and it was too late to return to the sword to parry.
Seeing that Yue Xiang's sword was about to pierce Bai Xue's chest, a branch suddenly flew and knocked the sword off. Yue Xiang was secretly proud, but he felt a shock in his arm, and the sword almost flew out of his hand.
Then a figure jumped down from the tree, grabbed the snowy waist, and ran forward. At the same time, he threw a few branches with his backhand and flew towards Yue Xiang.
Yue Xiang was shocked and swung his sword again and again to protect himself. By the time she knocked the branches down, the snow had already disappeared. Yue Xiang almost shook his sword with a single branch when he saw that someone came, and his martial arts were far above him. Even if she catches up, she is not an opponent, so she has to go home in a huff.
It was no one else who rescued Bai Xue, naturally it was Ma Xiang. Ma Xiang saw that Bai Xue was in danger, so he had to throw out a branch to hit the sword of Biyue Xiang. He didn't want to embarrass Yue Xiang too much, and he didn't use all his strength, otherwise Yue Xiang's arm would have been broken long ago.
Yue Xiang is a fast catcher for the yamen, and it is her duty to arrest Bai Xue. Ma Xiang didn't want to fight Yue Xiang head-on, so he had to rob Bai Xue.
Ma Xiang held Bai Xue in his arms, and quickly rushed into the woods while performing light skills, while softly telling Bai Xue not to make a sound. Bai Xue knew that the other party was saving herself, so she was silent and did not resist.
After running in the woods for a while, Lin Feng found that Yue Xiang was not chasing, so he stopped and let go of Bai Xue.
Bai Xue froze, bowed to Ma Xiang, and said, "Thank you for saving your life, the little woman is unforgettable, and I will remember it in my heart!" ”
Ma Xiang slowly took off the veil and said, "Snow Girl, it's me!" ”
Bai Xue took a closer look and saw that it was Ma Xiang, so she rushed up excitedly, held Ma Xiang's hand tightly, and said, "Brother Ma, why are you?" You saved me again today, I really don't know what to say! ”
Ma Xiang hurriedly pulled out his hand and said, "Snow White, what happened after you left the theater!" What the hell is going on in your house? ”
Only then did Bai Xue realize that she had lost her temper, her face turned red, and she withdrew her hand. Hearing Ma Xiang's question, she suddenly burst into tears and told Ma Xiang in a hurry.
It turned out that Bai Xue and Green Leaves left the theater, and they didn't go far before they heard that something had happened at home. Bai Xue was taken aback and went straight home. When they arrived near Niu's house, Niu's house was already surrounded by officers and soldiers.
Bai Xue was about to rush in, but was knocked unconscious by Green Leaf. Green Leaf didn't dare to take Bai Xue to the house of relatives and friends, and he was afraid that Bai Xue would be recognized, so he didn't dare to go to the hotel, so he carried Bai Xue to a remote and dilapidated mountain temple.
When Bai Xue woke up, it was already dusk. Bai Xue still wants to go home to see, but is desperately persuaded by the green leaves. Green leaves told Bai Xue that it would be useless for them to go back at this time, and they would only throw themselves into the net. What they have to do now is to protect themselves first, then find out what happened, and then try to rescue the entire Niu family.
Bai Xue was persuaded by the green leaves, and then slowly regained his calm. The two discussed for a while, and it was up to Luye to find out the news and buy something to eat, and then decide what to do next.
Fortunately, the two of them brought some money with them, and when Green Leaf inquired about the news, he bought a night coat and two swords by the way. Midoriha returns to the mountain temple and tells Bai Xue what he has heard.
Early this morning, the fourth lady and Niu Yun left Niu's house and went to the yamen to denounce Niu Ba's attempt to rebel. When the prefect of Luoyang heard this, he immediately sent people to surround and search the Niu family.
According to what the fourth lady and Niu Yun said, the officers and soldiers really found the dragon robe and a lot of weapons in Niu's house. The government immediately raided Niu's house, arrested everyone in Niu's house, and put them in prison.
Bai Xue couldn't believe it, because the fourth lady was Bai Xue's mother, and Bai Yun was Bai Xue's brother, how could they go to report the Bai family? Bai Xue had to ask her mother and her brother for clarification anyway, so she decided to break into the mansion at night. Green Leaf goes to the prison to check on the detainees.
Waiting until midnight, Bai Xue and Green Leaf acted separately, and Bai Xue sneaked into the mansion. It didn't take long for her to be discovered by Yue Xiang'er, who was patrolling the night. Bai Xue knew that she was not Yue Xiang'er's opponent, so she could only hurriedly escape from the mansion.
Ma Xiang was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Girl, what did you say?" The fourth lady is your mother? Do you know why your mother reported your father? ”
Bai Xue was puzzled when she saw that Ma Xiang cared so much about her mother, so she said: "My mother rarely talks to me, every time we meet, she just simply greets a few words, and she never says more, and she never tells me about her past. Why did she report it, I don't know why. ”
When Bai Xue said this, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and she couldn't say it anymore sadly. Ever since she became sensible, she felt that her mother was very indifferent to her, even disgusted. No matter how filial and well-behaved Bai Xue was, her mother didn't react and ignored her. Bai Xue felt very aggrieved and sad when she thought of her mother's attitude towards her.
Ma Xiang saw Bai Xue's sad appearance, and hurriedly helped her sit down, and said with relief: "Maybe your mother is introverted and doesn't like to talk in the first place." ”
Bai Xue shook her head and said, "That's not the case, my mother is only good to my brother alone." She was warm and caring for her brother, but she ignored me. She only talks and laughs when she is alone with her brother. With the rest of the family, she is also silent and never smiles. ”
Lin Feng also felt very strange, if the fourth lady hated Niu Ba, so she hated Wu Jiwu, and hated everyone in the Niu family, this would be understandable.
The fourth lady hates Bai Xue so much, and she never regards Bai Xue as her daughter in her heart, she should be forced to give birth to Bai Xue because she was occupied by Niu Ba.
Niu Yun is older than Bai Xue, but why does the fourth lady like him, because Niu Yun is a son? Why did Niu Yun follow his mother to denounce Niu Ba, so that the whole family was arrested and Niu's family was also raided, what benefits could he get?
Ma Xiang couldn't figure it out, so he had to persuade: "Girl, this is not difficult to understand. Your brother is a boy, so naturally he is loved by her. It is not unusual for most people to be patriarchal, and you can't be sad and wronged about it. I think tomorrow the government will issue a notice that you are wanted, so you better get out of the city as soon as possible! ”
