"I've been exploring the palace at night, except for Ah Fu, I haven't found anything abnormal, it's already dark, it seems that the thieves won't come tonight, I'll go back to the school first, if you two have something, then send someone to call me." ”

Wang Wentai hurriedly handed back the Panlong Sword to Qin Fei, and called the little leader around him to send Qin Fei back to the school lieutenant's office, but Qin Fei waved his hand to stop: "It's okay, you go to inspect first, and I'll go back by myself." With that, he took the Panlong Sword, turned around and walked in the direction of the school captain's office.

Since then, Qin Fei has been squatting in the palace for several nights, but he has never encountered a night walker again. Every day, after Wang Wentai assigned the duty shift in the palace, he stayed in Qin Fei's house, Gu Yueqin, Gu Mama and Duo'er's master and servant were talking inside, Wang Wentai moved a stool and sat at the door, as the March period was getting closer and closer, his face was getting more and more sad.

On the evening of this day, Qin Fei and Duo'er were talking to Gu Yueqin in the house, Shen'er and Mo'er were playing with the dragon sword, and Wang Wentai moved a stool as usual and sat at the door with a sad face. Qin Fei suddenly heard a very light "sass" outside the house, and knew that a stranger had come to the courtyard, and was about to signal everyone to silence, when he heard someone outside the house call softly: "Brother Qin!"

Listening to the voice, it was Xie Rui'an, Qin Fei signaled that everyone was an acquaintance, and then got up and walked out of the house, and saw Ruian on the ridge of the wing next to him, waving to him. Qin Fei went up to the roof and asked, "Why don't you go down, what are you doing on the roof?"

Xie Ruian said: "I'll go to the Jinghuan Changsheng Library to find you, the person on the door said that you are in the captain's office in the front of the palace, this is the inner city, where can I enter without going to the roof?" Qin Fei thought about it, and then smiled: "You can go through the inner city gate and let people report." ”

"That's too much trouble, it's not as convenient as this. Xie Ruian waved his hand, "I came to you to ask you to go to the Hongbao Immortal Vault to have a look, there has been no movement in Kaifeng City these days, go and see what they are doing." ”

"What have you found in Kaifeng City these days?" Qin Fei asked.

"We live in Jiafu in Hongbao Back Street, because we are afraid of being discovered by Kunzimen, so we rarely go out during the day, and stare at Hongbao Yard from afar at night, but we dare not approach, and we don't notice anything abnormal. ”

"But Hongbao opened the door as usual during the day, and everything was as usual, so the assassin must not have rested, but he did not know what they were doing. I want to go and find out at night, Xiaoyun is afraid that I can't match the assassin, so I have to ask you to go with me. Xie Ruian said.

Qin Fei calculated that the March period that Wang Wentai said was coming soon, if these people didn't make a move, it would be really embarrassing, it would be better to go to Hongbao to have a look, so he said to Xie Rui'an: "You go to Hongbao back street and wait for me in front of Jiafu, I'll go down and explain and come." ”

Xie Ruian agreed, turned around and jumped off the roof, jumped out of the inner city wall, and went to Jiafu first.

Qin Fei returned to the house and said to Gu Yueqin: "Sister, just now Zhenzimen Xie Ruian asked me to go to explore Hongbao Changsheng Library at night, now there are only a few days left before the emperor's March period, I also want to go to Hongbao to explore the way, when the March period arrives, if these thieves don't do it, then they can only go to copy Hongbao's thief's nest." ”

Gu Yueqin nodded: "There is no other good way now, so I have to explore the way first." However, it is strange why these thieves stopped here, which is really puzzling. ”

Duo'er instructed Qin Fei to be cautious when he arrived at Hongbao, Qin Fei nodded and agreed, went back to the inner room to change into night clothes, took the Mo Evil Sword, and then left the school captain's office and went to Hongbao's back street.

I had already inquired about the location of Hongbao's Changsheng Vault from Wang Wentai, so it didn't take much effort to find Hongbao's backstreet. The backstreet is not wide, there are not many cars and pedestrians in normal times, and it is now night, and there is not a single pedestrian on the street. There are several houses on both sides of the street with lanterns hanging at the door, and a short distance inside, you will see a house, a wide gatehouse, with illuminated lanterns hanging on both sides of the door, and the word Jiafu on the plaque on the door.

Just as he was about to find Xie Ruian, he saw a black shadow jumping down from the gatehouse of Jiafu, which was Xie Ruian. The two walked to the shadow in the corner, and Xie Ruian said: "Brother Qin, go over to the side, and through the alley is the back door of Hongbao." ”

Xie Ruian pointed across the street, and sure enough, there was an alley in the middle. "How deep is the alley?" Qin Fei asked.

"It's so close, it only takes half a moment to walk through. ”

Qin Fei came to the entrance of the alley, and at a glance, he could see the other end of the alley, and on both sides of the alley were crowded houses, and there were no lights. At the other end of the alley is a large black house, which must be the backyard of Hongbao Changsheng Library.

The two slowly walked through the alley. When I arrived at the entrance of the alley, I flew up to the roof, hid behind the ridge, and looked carefully at Hongbao's backyard.

There are a few big trees not far from the courtyard wall of Hongbao's backyard, but they are not high, although they can be invisible, but it is inconvenient to see the courtyard. The roof of the main entrance in front of Hongbao is the highest position in the surrounding area, and only from there can you see the entire courtyard. Although Qin Fei and the others can see the courtyard from their current location, the location is not good.

Xie Ruian said: "Brother Qin, do you want to go to the roof of the main house of the gate, it looks good." ”

Qin Fei said: "Don't worry, if the person who performed the assassination is really inside, if the position around this immortal vault is a little higher, there will definitely be people to monitor it, let's take a look here for a while." ”

I saw that the lights in the backyard were not very bright, and I didn't see anyone moving around for a long time, but the rows of several main houses near the front door were brightly lit.

"Have you been here during the day?"

"I've been here a few times, but I've been pretending to be a pedestrian, walking around but not daring to stop. Although Hongbao is open during the day, no one enters or exits, and he does not do pawn business on weekdays, and no one has seen the appearance of the owner, just like an empty house. ”

"It's really strange, if the assassin really has something to do with the Kunzi Gate, why hasn't there been any movement for so many days. I asked the Lord Si Wang in front of the palace, although the assassin was besieged that day, he calmly escaped, and he had already seen that there was no master among the palace guards, and it stands to reason that he would enter the palace again, so what is the purpose of dragging it on day by day?"

The two were talking in a whisper, when they saw a black shadow appear on the roof of Hongbao's house, the black shadow looked down for a while, flew and jumped in the courtyard, and then the body was blocked by the wall, and no figure could be seen.

The black shadow just floated down and jumped down, and Qin Fei could already see that the origin method was that Ah Fu.

Xie Ruian rejoiced: "Fortunately, I didn't go over just now, otherwise I would have been discovered by this person, it seems that it is not only the two of us who are outside monitoring this immortal library." ”

Qin Fei seemed to understand something, and nodded lightly. Xie Ruian said: "What, is there something wrong?"

"No, I now know why that assassin hasn't struck again for so many days!"

Xie Ruian looked at the courtyard where the black shadow disappeared just now, blocked by the wall but couldn't see anything, and said strangely: "What's the difference between the man in black, why can't I see it?"

"It's not that the assassin doesn't want to enter the palace again to assassinate, but he is watched by a powerful opponent and doesn't dare to move. ”

"Who do you say is that opponent? Is it the man in black?"

"The man in black was just that man's servant. ”

Xie Ruian was even more confused about this, he had never seen Ah Fu make a move, let alone the little sword demon, so he naturally didn't know the connection.

At this time, I saw that the man in black just now flew up to the room again, and after a while, he jumped into a courtyard next to him, and disappeared, just like exploring the houses in the Immortal Warehouse, and he was unscrupulous.

Xie Ruian looked at it, and opened his mouth wide to believe his eyes.

Qin Fei pushed him, "Lower down, don't let people find out." ”

Xie Ruian turned around and sat down, leaned on the slope behind the roof, and muttered to himself: "Could it be that the Kunzi Gate in the Changsheng Vault has already run away? ”

"I didn't run, I was just afraid of the opponent and didn't dare to come out and walk around. Qin Fei comforted.

"Shall we go and investigate?"

"Don't worry, we're here, and we don't have to lean around to watch, just listen to the other side for movement. Qin Fei said as he sat down on the back slope of the roof.

"Brother Qin, what kind of person is it that makes Kunzimen so jealous?"

"Little Sword Demon Venerable Peng Peng, have you heard of it? That black shadow just now is his old servant Ah Fu, with Venerable Peng Peng behind him, he is naturally unscrupulous, going to search the Changsheng Library one by one. ”

"You're talking about Huo De Zhenjun's uncle, that old immortal?"

"Exactly, thinking that Tai'a Sword appeared in the capital, this sword is related to the big secret of the death of Huo De Zhenjun, how could the little sword demon not come to investigate the reason? With the power of the Liao Imperial Court Guard in Beijing, it is naturally not difficult to find out that this immortal library is related to that assassin. ”

"If my guess is right, that little sword demon is staring at the Immortal Vault somewhere nearby, but I am afraid that he will be staring at it as soon as he arrives in the capital, so the assassins in the Immortal Vault will not dare to act rashly. Qin Fei said.

Xie Ruian couldn't help but nod his head, "Then what should we do now?" Should we wait here, or go back?"
