Chapter 386: The Night Assassin is in danger
At the end of the corridor, a dark shadow flashed by, hiding behind the pillars, and after some snooping, just as he was about to turn around and leave, there was a person standing behind him, looking at himself with a smile, and couldn't help but be surprised.
It turned out that the person behind this was Niu Tong, the housekeeper of this Niu Mansion! I saw him looking at this family, just smiling blindly, and not saying a word.
"Hello butler, when did you stand behind me, but you frightened me, by the way! Could it be that you are also here to peek at the girl, and hope that Mei will quench her thirst?" asked the young man with a smile, scratching the back of his head.
"Niu Hu! You have a little bit of fancy intestines, you think I don't know? I can't figure it out when I wander around outside the door of the eldest lady all day long, can it be that you ...... it?" Niu Tong, the housekeeper, touched his chin and said with a few treacherous smiles.
This little family Ding Niuhu scratched the back of his head, his face was flushed, and he stammered: "Don't talk nonsense! This master's mother's figure, and that physique, I'm afraid that the three of me are not opponents, if they are heard, you and I don't have good fruit to eat, or we still accumulate virtue on our lips, don't regret it when you get hit by the board!"
"Then what are you peeping at here all day long? Could it be that among these maids, there is someone you like, and you also have a heart? Okay, I have to go, you can take your time!" the housekeeper Niu Tong shook his head and smiled, and left with his hands behind his back.
Niu Hu watched the big housekeeper leave, so he turned his head and thought about it, and immediately left, only to see that behind the round door, a head poked out, nodded and sneered, and retracted his head.
The night slowly fell, and in the corridor of the east courtyard, a maid walked hurriedly, only to see her nervous expression, all the way to Narcissus's room.
When the family at the door saw the comer, they all came forward, looked at the plate she was holding in her hand, and saw a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup, and couldn't help swallowing saliva.
"Ruhua girl, are you going to the master of the house? She has been losing her temper today, clamoring to leave, and she has thrown away several batches, and if she doesn't want to eat it later, you can eat it for me!"
Ruhua turned her head to look back at the corridor, a little anxious, waved her left hand to push away the family who was blocking the way, and said with some worries in her heart: "When I passed by the corridor outside the courtyard just now, I seemed to hear a woman's cry, which was in the courtyard of the garden, or you go over and have a look, maybe I can promise you." ”
Among the four family members, one of them was leaning against the pillar in front of the door, his eyes closed, and the snoring had spread in all directions, disturbing the maid who had just opened the door, and quickly closed the door again.
Ruhua looked at the snoring family and asked with some doubts: "What's the matter with him? Did he steal the cow last night? It's really strange, he can sleep in the daytime, and he is really a god!"
The family looked back at the sleeping family, and then came over and said, "Girl, you don't know anything! This guy goes out in the middle of the night, and he doesn't know what to do? He won't come back until dawn, alas! I don't know what's going on? Anyway, it's been like this lately." ”
"Then I'll go over and take a look, and the old man will come over to see the young lady, he is napping so early, it is estimated that he will inevitably be scolded, I will wake him up!" Ruhua took the white fungus lotus seed soup and walked towards the sleeping man.
"Niu Hu, wake me up quickly! The old man is coming over soon, don't hurry up, this white fungus lotus seed soup is specially ordered by the old man to be sent to the new lady, get up." Ruhua held the plate in her right hand, and patted this Ding Yan with her free left hand.
The young man lifted the brim of his hat, opened his eyes and saw the flower in front of him, so he jumped up and said with a smile: "Sister Ruhua! ”
Ruhua pushed Niu Hu away, and said with a look at the house: "The master knows that the new lady is here, and she is not used to living in this east courtyard, so she asked us to boil some white fungus soup for her, do you want to eat it?"
Looking at the Ruhua who entered the house, Niu Hu yawned, shook his head and stretched his waist, and then leaned on the pillar again, ready to fall asleep again, when a rush of footsteps came, and he was so frightened that he quickly stood up.
It turned out that this hurried person was the housekeeper Niu Tong, who saw him hurrying forward and slapping Niu Hu in the face.
"I just called Ruhua to tell you, this old man will come over soon, you guys, are you looking for scolding? Don't you hurry up and stand up for me, it's really unreasonable!" Niu Tong looked back at the gate of the courtyard, anxiously waiting.
On the roof of this house, the bright moon is thousands of miles, shining on the east courtyard of this Niu Mansion, like daylight, suddenly a black shadow flashed, only to see its black clothes masked, after looking around, squatted down, from the quiver behind the back, slowly took out an arrow feather.
At the door of the east courtyard, surrounded by a group of family members, the post leader slowly came towards Narcissus's room, only to see that he was thoughtful in his heart, bowing his head all the way and saying nothing.
The black-clad masked man on the roof lowered the arrow feather on the bowstring, and slowly aimed at the post first, which had already reached the full string, as long as the right hand was released, the arrow feather would shoot straight away.
"The master is here! give me a little cleverness, if there is anything wrong, be careful to serve the board," Niu Tong instructed and greeted the post first.
"Master, you said that you received a secret report that there will be a rebel party assassinating you tonight, and I have already arranged for it, and even this eastern courtyard has sent more people, and everything is just waiting for this assassin to take the bait. Niu Tong walked to the side of the post leader, bent down and clenched his fists.
Yi Xian put a hood on his head, covered his mouth and coughed, waved his right hand to signal Niu Tong to dodge, and went straight to Narcissus's room.
"Master, what's the matter? Did you come back from Baiyun Mountain and feel the wind chill occasionally? Why do your legs keep shivering?" Yi first stopped a family member behind him and asked with some confusion.
"I don't know! The lord is strange as soon as he goes out, and ah! Outside the gate of this cow mansion, there are a lot of Jinling guards, it is estimated that something must happen tonight, I have to go, and the lord will be angry when he sees it." This Ding looked at the team in the distance, whispered to Niu Tong, and quickly followed.
Niu Tong was full of doubts, so he turned his head, only to see a few heads poking out at the door of the east courtyard, and after seeing himself, he quickly shrank his head and shrank back.
Niu Tong's face changed greatly, and the whole person looked very anxious, and then looked up at the attic, and there seemed to be a head poking out of the window.
"How can this be good? I'm afraid something big is going to happen, what should I do at this critical juncture?" Niu Tong clapped his palms and paced back and forth in the corridor, the cold sweat running down his sideburns.
Niu Tong suddenly turned around and walked quickly towards Yixian, shouting loudly: "Master, this young lady has just fallen asleep, why don't we go back first, go back, and come back another day?"
As soon as the ox walked to the side of Yi Xian, he saw a rain of arrows falling from the roof, heading directly towards the two of them......
