Chapter 48: Attempt
The patrol route and time of the Nangong courtyard guards were all too familiar to Ling Gaoyuan. About ten meters in front of them, there is Nangong Xiaoxiao's bedroom, the two of them hide on the edge of the low wall and wait quietly, the guards will patrol once in half an hour, and after the guards patrol, it is the best time to start.
In the process of waiting, Meng Xiang touted vigorously, how Ling Gaoyuan was, and said things like Nangong smiling and smiling. In short, Ling Gaoyuan must not be allowed to have the idea of retreating, and he must be made restless. When the incident happened, it was when Nangong Courtyard was discredited, but it was just pitiful for Nangong and smiled.
"Meng Xiang, do you have a hiding place outside?" Ling Gaoyuan was planning for the worst, and if the matter was revealed, he would have a way back.
Meng Xiang grinned, squinted at it, and promised: "There must be, wait for you to go in and wait for me to wait for you outside the wall", but secretly thought in his heart: When you come out, it is when you pay tribute to Xuemei, Ling Gaoyuan, you are the biggest stain on the Nangong courtyard. When the news spread all over Tianyuan, the reputation of Nangong Courtyard was discredited.
I wanted to count on Mu Xiao to help him kill Ling Gaoyuan, but that guy didn't give him a clear answer, it seemed that he didn't have hope. At present, he can only use the Nangong Courtyard to get rid of Ling Gaoyuan.
Although he is a cripple, he is also a proper pseudo-swordsman, and if he really makes a move at this time, he will definitely attract the attention of the guards, and he will definitely not be able to escape when the time comes. The important thing is that his swordsman realm has not yet stabilized, and the true qi in his body comes and goes, so if there is any accident, it will be even more troublesome.
If Ling Gaoyuan is lucky enough to escape, it will be easy to take him to a remote place and then clean him up. On the contrary, it doesn't matter, if you defile your cousin, it is estimated that he will not survive.
"It's okay, let's go!" At this time, the two guards in front patrolled, glanced at it and left without finding anything abnormal.
"Give me the fire fold," Ling Gaoyuan stretched out his hand to Meng Xiang and said.
Meng Xiang groped around his body and handed the fire fold to Ling Gaoyuan, who was still a little uneasy and said, "Why don't you help me watch it here." ”
"Ling Gongzi, it's too much, I don't have my share of good things, let me help you control the wind?" Meng Xiang was angry.
"Do you still want to have a share, don't you want to live?" Ling Gaoyuan raised his toes and snorted coldly in a low voice.
Meng Xiang thought that he had to accommodate him at this time, otherwise his previous efforts would be wasted. Calm down and say, "Okay, you go, I'll watch from the outside." ”
"Don't worry, you will be indispensable in the future," Ling Gaoyuan said, limping in the direction of Nangong Xiaoxiao's room.
Meng Xiang watched from behind, this guy really didn't disappoint him, first gave himself the antidote, and then lit the Ecstasy Three-stage Grass, stuffed it into the crack of the door, and watched every corner of the courtyard vigilantly. After a while, he leaned on the crack of the door again to look into the house, and then Ling Gaoyuan used a dagger to pry a few times on the crack of the door, and the door was pried open and flashed into the house instantly.
"Hmph!" Meng Xiang snorted coldly and walked to the edge of the wall and was about to turn out, but he felt that this seemed uneasy, so he simply leaned on the flowers and continued to watch.
At this time, in Nangong Xiaoxiao's bedroom, Ling Gaoyuan was excitedly looking at Nangong Xiaoxiao, who was confused.
"Cousin, for a few years, you have been a great beauty, but I, Ling Gaoyuan, have become lame, why is God so unfair to me. Ling Gaoyuan smiled and walked towards Nangong with a smile.
Although Nangong Xiaoxiao was fascinated by the Ecstasy Three-Stage Grass, she still had a little consciousness, and her hands tightly protected her nightgown. Ling Gaoyuan's words were like coming from the devil of hell, making her struggle in a daze. It's just that at this moment, his whole body was hot like fire, and the only remaining consciousness was quickly annihilated.
"Come on, cousin, you must be my daughter" Ling Gaoyuan was extremely obscene, and at this time he was infinitely close to Nangong and smiled.
In the end, the defense line collapsed, and Nangong Xiaoxiao pounced on Ling Gaoyuan like a tiger, eager to tear it apart at this moment.
Meng Xiang turned to the corner outside and his heart beat faster, he was a little scared at this time, and even regretted it. After all, Nangong Xiaoxiao is the eldest lady of Nangong Courtyard, and if something happens to her, Nangong Courtyard will definitely investigate clearly. If Ling Gaoyuan was killed directly, it would be fine, but he was afraid of biting himself, and then there would really be no escape.
Meng Xiang thought for a while, and in the depths of the quiet Nangong courtyard, that is, the courtyard behind Meng Xiang, a sharp scream suddenly erupted, which was a voice of anger followed by despair, and then to endless fear.
Nangong smiled, this was her screaming voice, she was still awake, but there was only a short scream. After this scream, soon the Nangong courtyard became lively, and the noisy sound filled the walls, which was destined to be a sleepless night.
Bang, just when Meng Xiang thought that Ling Gaoyuan was going to die, he suddenly fell down a black whining thing on the wall two meters away.
"Pull, cough, pull me, cough cough" In the gloom, Ling Gaoyuan's voice came from the root of the wall. Ling Gaoyuan, who was extremely flustered in the dark, was frightened.
"You, you go over there and search"
Meng Xiangsan walked over in two steps, and the big knife was already ready to cut down. Just as he was about to raise the big sword, the voice of the Nangong courtyard guard came from the other end of the wall. Decisively pulled up the disheveled Ling Plateau and rushed towards the shrubs two meters away.
"Damn!" Ling Gaoyuan felt a sharp pain from a tree branch puncture on his body, as if his body had been scratched by a tree branch in several places, and the spicy feeling made him can't help but burst out.
Meng Xiang covered his mouth with his big hand and pressed it to the middle of the bush. At this moment, two guards, one tall and one short, passed by where they had just been.
"Who is so bold as to break into Miss's room at night?" said the tall guard, puzzled.
The other shook his head and replied, "I don't know, Miss is so beautiful, there are so many people who think about her." ”
The tall guard continued to walk to the other side, unable to stop talking: "But if you can really sleep with the young lady for one night, it will be worth the death."
"If you don't want to die, shut up," the two guards walked away.
The courtyard of the Nangong within the walls was already in chaos. Nangong Yunmu's eyes were bloodshot, standing at the door of the closed dormitory, shouting at the guards in front of him: "What are you doing here, don't let me search it, no matter who it is, you can't catch it alive." ”
"Yes"
Everyone conscientiously took the order and scattered in a hurry to search everywhere. In the middle of the night, the courtyard of the South Palace of the Third Watch became brightly lit, and a thick sadness shrouded in sadness under the luxurious building.
In the bedroom, Hou Qingrou hugged Nangong tightly and smiled, and the hairpin that had sunk deep into her temples was still dripping with blood. She tried her best to feel Nangong Xiaoxiao's heartbeat, but she was extremely disappointed, at this time, Nangong Xiaoxiao's hand was limp and hung on her knees, and it was already lifeless.
"Ah......h
Looking at her daughter's eyes, Hou Qingrou suddenly became angry, and a terrifying force filled the entire bedroom, the lights in the room flickered, and the door creaked.
In the dark, Meng Xiang pulled Ling Gaoyuan away from the bushes and walked forward in the dark for a long time. Ling Gaoyuan shook off his hand and said, "Okay, it's far enough here, let me tidy up my clothes first, damn it, a dead woman is so strong"
Meng Xiang stopped, there was a dim alley in front of him, it was good for him to tidy up, so as not to wait for others to go out and be seen.
"Hey, Ling Gongzi, why did you come out so quickly, it can't be a void, right?" Meng Xiang suddenly remembered that this guy had only been in for less than a quarter of an hour and escaped from the wilderness, and it seemed that there was something strange here.
Ling Gaoyuan's action of sorting out his clothes stopped abruptly, and he said solemnly and a little scared: "Attempted, I killed her"
"You killed her?" Meng Xiang was shocked, he didn't expect Ling Gaoyuan to kill Nangong Xiaoxiao, this matter is getting more and more complicated, it seems that he has to find a way to solve this trouble, otherwise he will be burned.
Ling Gaoyuan grabbed Meng Xiang's arms and pleaded, "Brother Meng Xiang, you have to help me." I killed her by mistake, so you'll have to find me a place to hide. ”
"Okay, follow me to the north of the city," Meng Xiang said, turned around and walked two steps, then turned around and asked, "Haven't you already charmed her?"
Ling Gaoyuan shook his head helplessly: "Yes, the Ecstasy Three-Stage Grass is ordered, and she is also confused, but the medicinal effect doesn't seem to be as magical as you say!"
"Then you're going to kill her?" Meng Xiang actually wanted to know how he killed Nangong Xiaoxiao.
Liang Gao Yuan glanced at Meng Xiang and said, "Damn, who told her to shout so loudly, she pulled off her hairpin in a hurry, and she just happened to hit her head." Lao Tzu saw the hairpin inserted into her temple, and thought that if she caused a big disaster, she would run away. ”
"That's not going to live," Meng Xiang sighed in a low voice: "Now I can only go to the north of the city to hide for a while."
"It's up to you"
Ling Gaoyuan patted Meng Xiang on the shoulder, the latter squinted and glared, of course Ling Gaoyuan didn't see it, the two continued to avoid the place where there was a light, and walked in the direction of the north of the city.
Along the way, Meng Xiang tried his best to kill Ling Gaoyuan. Rushing to do it now may not be successful, and it seems that we have to think of other ways.
The tossing night was close to dawn at this moment, and the two finally walked to the northern boundary of the city. In front of me is a dilapidated alley, and there is a creepy feeling of coldness. Meng Xiang walked in front and stopped in front of the door of a low room, and the moment he opened the door, he faintly smelled a fishy smell.
"Meng Xiang, do you live here on weekdays, why do you have a fishy smell?" Ling Gaoyuan glanced at the place where the light of the fire fold could illuminate the Dao, there were cobwebs everywhere, and he wondered in his heart.
Meng Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course not, now it's just a temporary stay, and I'll go to my place at dawn." ”
"Oh, I thought I was going to live here forever" Ling Gaoyuan was no longer suspicious and walked in front of Meng Xiang.
Meng Xiang grinned and sneered: "It's not bad to live."
"You, ah......"
Meng Xiang's knife handle slammed down on the back of Ling Gaoyuan's neck, and before the latter could speak, his eyes closed and he fell to the ground.
"Hmph, do you really think I'm going to save you?" Meng Xiang picked up the fire fold and lit the lantern in the house.
Under the light, except for him and Ling Gaoyuan, there was a person lying quietly on a tattered bed in the corner. No, it should be said that it was a corpse, which was exactly the Ling Xuemei that Meng Xiang took away from the tavern.
Such a strange scene, Meng Xiang was also extremely afraid in his heart, just to kill Ling Gaoyuan, he could only come here hard. He found a rope, tied Ling Gaoyuan, who had fainted, and tied him to a wooden pillar.
Looking at Ling Gaoyuan, who was hanging his head in front of him, he was very worried in his heart, for fear that this guy would run away when he woke up, but he was reluctant to kill him with a knife now.
"Ling Gaoyuan, I want you to live to sacrifice Xuemei with blood. Meng Xiang's eyebrows raised, and he spoke coldly.
