Chapter 165: The house leak happened to rain overnight
Fortune and misfortune are not a single line, once people are unlucky, they are always caught off guard, and bad luck will follow one after another, as if all of a sudden everyone and everything are against themselves, at this time the best solution is often to retreat, how far to hide, and wait for things to calm down, otherwise it is likely to cause greater disasters.
In recent days, the capital seems to have returned to its former prosperity, and the number of pedestrians on the streets has gradually begun to increase, and the people who have locked themselves in their homes for several days in a row have come out of their homes like children from private schools, as if they suddenly feel that everything has become fresher.
All this change is due to the fact that the guards guarding the city have relaxed their vigilance, and the hunting speed that roams the streets has gradually disappeared, and the previous order has been restored.
Wuxin has been living in Tiexiong's house since he followed Tie Xiong back to the capital, the location here is relatively private, and it is not far from the six gates, which is relatively secret, and can make the six doors arrive in time after something happens. Zhan Ying was also very concerned about this incident, and specially told Tie Xiong to allocate some people to arrange them near the Iron Mansion to prevent people from Fengyue Valley from coming to the door.
Looking at the empty courtyard, Wuxin was a little bored, in fact, he was a person who liked to be quiet, but now his heart couldn't calm down, and he couldn't figure out Dongfang Xian's intentions, as well as the affairs of Hongyu and Xianwang's Mansion, a lot of problems were clueless, plus he had been stuck in this small courtyard for the past few days, he was about to be unable to stay.
In fact, Wuxin is not a person who likes to hide and hide, even if Fengyue Valley really swears to him because of this, he doesn't care, his opponent has never been missing, and he is not bad for this one, but it feels really uncomfortable to be wronged.
He mentioned that he wanted to leave, but Tie Xiong strongly refused, because Tie Xiong said that he wanted to find out what conspiracy was in Fengyue Valley, but after a few days, there was no news at all, and Tie Xiong was busy every day before coming back, sometimes even at night, just arranged for a reliable person to deliver meals on time every day for Wuxin.
In fact, he didn't know that this was Tie Xiong caring about himself, so he didn't keep arguing with Tie Xiong about leaving, but he knew that hiding was not a long-term solution, if Fengyue Valley made up his mind to be his enemy, then hiding would not be able to hide, sooner or later he would have to face it, maybe it would be easier to solve it earlier than later, because hatred would accumulate over time.
But for his only uncle, Wuxin really can't be tough, and probably the person who can give in without heart will be left with Ruyi, and his uncle is left.
In the evening, the person who had arranged for Tie Xiong to deliver the meal arrived on time as usual, the same simple and elaborate side dishes, a bowl of rice, and a pot of hot tea.
Although there are not many dishes, they are constantly changing patterns, and the taste is good, which may be the only thing that Wuxin feels less boring these days. The food was the same delicious, but the person who delivered the food today seemed different from before, I saw that he had been absent-minded since he entered the door, and from time to time he would turn around and look at the door a few times, as if he was a little nervous.
"What's wrong?" Wuxin asked lightly as he lowered his head and drank tea. From the moment this man walked into this courtyard, he sensed that something was wrong with him.
The person who delivered the food was startled when he heard Wuxin speak, obviously he was immersed in his own thoughts just now, and Wuxin hadn't taken the initiative to talk to him a few times after coming so many times.
I saw him frown, and said in a low voice: "When I came in just now, I seemed to see someone in the alley next to me, as if I was looking here." As he spoke, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the door, as if he was afraid that someone would rush in through the door.
This person is a guy in a restaurant, because Tiexiong often takes people to that restaurant, so he is very familiar with the owner and the guy there, so he asked this person to deliver food to Wuxin on time every day.
Although he is just an ordinary restaurant guy, he has been in the restaurant for many years, and he has a little ability to look at acquaintances, and can distinguish what kind of people are dangerous, from the moment he first saw Wuxin, he knew that Wuxin was not an ordinary person, and he was always unconsciously in awe. And the man he saw outside the door just now also gave him this feeling.
"Don't be afraid, that's the catch of six doors. Wuxin said slowly, without any ridicule because of the man's seemingly timid appearance.
"It's not. The man shook his head and continued, "I have seen those trappers in ambush in the shadows, and every time I come they have to check the food I have brought, but today I did not see them, but a stranger standing at the mouth of the alley. ”
Wuxin heard the man's words, he was stunned for a moment, the hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air, his brows furrowed, and he asked slowly: "Are you sure you read it right?" If just the catch lurking nearby is about to disappear, it may be because there is a temporary mission and it was transferred, but if there is really a stranger watching nearby, then this matter is very suspicious.
"Certainly not mistakenly. The guy nodded affirmatively.
Wuxin hesitated for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and said, "Take me to see." After saying that, he walked to the door of the small courtyard, and the man stood where he was, paused, and hurriedly followed.
Out of the door of the small courtyard, he walked towards the alley under the guidance of the fellow, although it was only nearly evening, there was no one nearby, and it seemed very empty.
As soon as he walked into the entrance of the alley, Wuxin frowned, and the guy who followed him exclaimed in surprise. Because the few trappers who Tie Xiong arranged to guard nearby had already fallen in the corner at this time, motionless.
Wuxin walked over quickly and tapped the body of one of them with the scabbard, but the man did not react, Wuxin quickly squatted down and probed the man's snort, and finally let out a long breath. This person was just knocked unconscious, and it was not a big deal, and at first he didn't think that they had been poisoned, but fortunately he wasn't.
"I was not mistaken. Suddenly, a yin and yang strange voice came from the mouth of the alley where Wuxin had just entered, and then a figure appeared, a person with a face like ashes.
Hearing this voice, Wuxin's eyes narrowed, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face, because he was so familiar with this voice, so familiar that he didn't have to look back to know who it was.
"It's been a long time, and I have no intention of being a young man. The man who appeared at the mouth of the alley spoke again, his words full of provocation.
Wuxin slowly turned around, looked at the person who suddenly appeared at the mouth of the alley, and said lightly: "I didn't expect that the dignified commander of the guards of the Xianwang Mansion would do this kind of thing." His tone was full of disdain, and he was referring to the fact that this man had captured the six doors lurking in the shadows and knocked them unconscious.
The person who came was none other than the commander of the guards of the Xianwang Mansion, Gong Jiu, and the henchman of the Seven Sage Kings.
However, Gong Jiu didn't care when he heard Wuxin's words, he paced two steps at the mouth of the alley casually, and said slowly: "If not, how can I lure you out, I didn't expect that the dignified Blood Knife Wuxin has now become a shrinking turtle, hiding here and not daring to see people." In fact, he deliberately stood at the mouth of the alley just now for the guy who delivered the food to see, in order to lure Wuxin out.
"Your Excellency may not be much better, and if I don't come out, I'm afraid you won't dare to enter that courtyard. A sneer appeared at the corner of Wuxin's mouth, and he said lightly.
When Gong Jiu heard Wuxin's words, his face instantly sank, and he snorted coldly and said: "That's because the prince reads that he is Zhan Ying's descendant, and he is giving Zhan Ying face, otherwise he wouldn't be in his eyes, but you, have you forgotten the order that the prince once gave you? Since you returned to Beijing without permission despite the prince's order, you should think of what the consequences are." ”
"I did come, you also saw it, what can you do with me?" Wuxin said coldly, every time he saw Gong Jiu's dead face that had not changed for thousands of years, he was always disgusted.
Gong Jiu snorted coldly, clapped his hands, and saw a team of guards guarding the city suddenly rushing out of the alley opposite, and soon blocked the mouth of the alley. It seems that Gong Jiu didn't come alone, and before he came, he had already determined the news that Wuxin was lurking in Tiexiong's house.
Since you ignore the prince's order, I will escort you to ask the prince for guilt, and let the prince see who is so bold!" Gong Jiu said coldly, although he said that he would escort Wuxin back to the Xian Wang's Mansion, but he didn't move for a long time, and he always stood at the mouth of the alley. He has seen the strength of Wuxin, so although he brought people here, he did not dare to rush forward, this time is different from the past, and the current Wuxin will definitely not succumb to the majesty of the Xian Wangfu and be obedient and obedient as he was at the beginning.
Wuxin stretched out his hand to push the restaurant guy on the side behind him, looked at Gong Jiu coldly, and said lightly: "If you want to arrest me, it depends on whether you are qualified or not." As he spoke, his feet were slightly staggered, and he slowly raised the knife in his hand, ready to make a move.
Gong Jiu looked at Wuxin's ready-to-go, and he also tensed his nerves, secretly accumulating strength, preparing to start a big battle with Wuxin. But at this time, a voice suddenly sounded, which made everyone who was preparing to attack stunned and looked sideways.
"I'll see who dares to move!" a deep voice sounded, and someone separated from the guards guarding the city at the entrance of the alley and walked in. It was none other than the god of Tetsuo, who had just returned to his residence.
Seeing that the person who came in was Tie Xiong, Gong Jiu couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect Tie Xiong to come back sooner or later, but this was the time to come back, as if he was in a hurry to come back.
Tie Xiong glanced at Gong Jiu coldly, ignored it, and walked straight to Wuxin's side, and then saw the few subordinates behind Wuxin who fell to the ground, his face immediately became gloomy, and he looked up at Wuxin.
Wuxin knew that Tie Xiong was worried about the safety of his subordinates, so he quickly shook his head lightly, indicating that it was okay.
Seeing Wuxin shaking his head, Tie Xiong finally let go of his heart, and then turned around and glared at Gong Jiu suddenly, and said coldly: "Palace Commander, what do you want to do to the people of the six doors?"
Gong Jiu frowned, coughed twice, and said slowly: "Don't misunderstand Tie Zhutou, I'm worried about unnecessary conflicts with your subordinates, so I let them rest for a while, and there is no malice." Although he just said that he was not afraid of Tie Xiong, Tie Xiong was Zhan Ying's henchman after all, and Zhan Ying was a celebrity around the emperor, so he had to be afraid of three points.
"Misunderstanding, so if I'm worried about a conflict with you, I can let you rest for a while, right?" Tie Xiong didn't buy Gong Jiu's account at all, and said righteously.
Gong Jiu listened to Tie Xiong's words, and his face, which was already as dead as ashes, looked even more lifeless, only to see him pause, and then changed his words and said: "Tie Zhutou, don't talk too much, we are here to arrest the Qin criminals of the imperial court, please don't stop it, don't forget your own identity!" said and stared coldly at Tie Xiong's eyes, refusing to show weakness at all.
"I think you're looking for the wrong person, there are no Qin criminals here, only a few people who were knocked out by the six gates, do you want me to report to the battle commander, just say that someone knocked his men unconscious in an alley, let him talk to the Seven Sages King?" Tie Xiong ignored Gong Jiu's threat, and said loudly instead.
Gong Jiu listened to Tie Xiong's words, and stopped talking, not knowing what to do for a while. hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, don't forget what you did today, let's go!"
Seeing that Gong Jiu finally led someone away, Tie Xiong let out a long breath, if he hadn't come back in time, maybe something would have gone wrong again. Recently, it seems that everything has rushed together, and I just escaped Fengyue Valley, and now I have let the people of Xianwang's Mansion know the news of returning to Beijing unintentionally......
