Chapter 65: The Praying Mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind
The sky is getting brighter, the fire in the house has turned to ashes, Bai Ruyu opened his worried eyes, outside the door, the rain has stopped at this time, and the eaves are still dripping with water droplets.
Stretching his waist, Bai Ruyu got up, turned back to Murong Yuxuan, and saw Murong Yuxuan curled up on the side and was asleep, Bai Ruyu walked away slowly, and gently patted Murong Yuxuan.
"Little brother Murong, it's dawn, get up quickly. Come with me to the town ahead in search of something to eat, and I should be hungry. Bai Ruyu said to Murong Yuxuan.
Murong Yuxuan heard Bai Ruyu's words, opened his eyes with difficulty, and then fell asleep again, Bai Ruyu Yuxuan's lips were dry, his eyes were foggy, and he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly touched Murong Yuxuan's forehead.
"It's so hot!" Bai Ruyu touched it, only to feel that his forehead was burning, and he didn't feel shocked, thinking about the scene last night, it must be that Murong Yuxuan had been watching the battle in the rain during the fight between himself and the man in black last night, and his clothes were not dry at night, so he was infected with wind and cold.
Thinking of this, Bai Ruyu didn't say a word, bent down and put Murong Yuxuan on his back, and walked towards the door, Bai Ruyu came to the outside of the manor, and ran all the way along the avenue, and after a while, a few businessmen on the road stepped forward to ask.
"A few friends from the rivers and lakes, I have something to ask, dare to ask if there are villages and towns ahead?" Bai Ruyu walked to the side of several injured people, bent down and asked.
"Yes, there's a town five miles from here, and we've just come from somewhere. Bai Ruyu hurriedly thanked her when she heard this, and then carried Murong Yuxuan on her back and flew away in the direction that the merchant said.
When Bai Ruyu was getting away, the leaders of several businessmen took out a portrait from their arms.
"He is Bai Ruyu, he is carrying a young lady, quick, you guys follow him to the town first, I will wait to meet you." Remember, keep an eye on Bai Ruyu and protect the safety of the young lady. Let's go!" I saw the portrait of this person, and determined that this person was Bai Ruyu, so I ordered someone to track it down.
This person is the purple-clothed Yama's subordinate Disha, originally thinking that pretending to be a businessman would not make people suspicious, and then went to find Bai Ruyu and Miss Murong Yuxuan, but he didn't expect to meet him on the road.
But not long after Di Sha's subordinates left, Di Sha was discussing with several other subordinates how to deal with Bai Ruyu's countermeasures, and at this time, from not far away, a few people dressed in Central Plains martial arts costumes came over, only to see them walking in a hurry, heading in the direction of Bai Ruyu.
Sensing that this was strange, the Devil followed the men and turned back.
After last night's assassin raid, there were more guards in the Ouyang Mansion at this time than in the past, and everyone looked serious.
Because Ouyang Chen felt that yesterday's assassin was by no means an ordinary thief, but a well-trained killer, and the killer's backstage was still very powerful, because from the flying knife left by the assassin yesterday, this knife was well-made, and the carving was exquisite, and it came from the hands of court craftsmen.
And the thing that makes Ouyang Chen puzzled is that Ouyang Mansion has not been in contact with the people in the public gate for a long time, let alone any grievances, but why would someone come on a rainy night?
Ouyang Chen was pacing in the small pavilion corridor in the mansion, wondering about these questions, while Xie Huan'er and Zhang Yuyan walked towards this side from the path outside the lake pavilion.
"Where are you going?" Ouyang Chen greeted the two with a smile when he saw the two of them coming.
"It's Young Master Ouyang, there are a lot of nursing homes in the mansion today, what happened in the mansion?" Zhang Yuyan and Xie Huan'er saw Ouyang Chen alone on the small pavilion corridor, and then saw that the nursing courtyard in the mansion had increased, so they asked him.
"Oh, it's okay, it's nothing. Ouyang Chen saw Xie Huan'er and Zhang Yuyan's inquiry, and didn't tell them what happened last night. Instead, he hurriedly diverted the topic.
"By the way, everyone is still safe in the house, if you need anything, tell me directly. Ouyang Chen said with a smile.
"I'm embarrassed to have a lot of trouble in your house, and we eat and live very well. After a while, a few people started talking and laughing.
Suddenly, a flying insect flew into Ouyang Chen's eyes, Ouyang Chen hurriedly covered his eyes, Xie Huan'er saw this, hurriedly approached Ouyang Chen's eyes, and gently blew his eyes.
At the scene in front of her, Liu Huanhuan in the distance happened to see Liu Huanhuan's eyes angry from a distance, and then glared at Xie Huan'er viciously, thinking in her heart, and a hint of a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Then he snorted softly and walked into the distance.
On the other hand, the palace hall was brightly lit, and Eli An was sitting in the main hall, and at this time, the housekeeper of the palace came to report.
"Lord Wang, our spy Feige has sent a message. As soon as the housekeeper entered the lobby, he said to the prince Li An.
"What's the matter, this panic. Li An saw that the housekeeper was in a hurry, so he asked.
"Master, our spies heard that Ouyang Feilong was about to return to Ouyang's mansion, and wanted to ask the master to make the next arrangements. The butler said to Ang Lee.
"What, Ouyang Feilong, this old horseman, is finally willing to leave his helmsman, great! In this way, he won't bring too many followers when he goes out, and we can take the opportunity to get rid of him. When Li An heard Ouyang Feilong leave the tightly guarded rudder, he didn't feel excited for a while.
Because for many years, Li An has always wanted to win over Ouyang Feilong to join his rebellious team, but out of national righteousness, Ouyang Feilong has always been unwilling to go along with him, which makes Li An hate him to the core, and has always wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Ouyang Feilong.
However, due to the large number of Ouyang Feilong's helmsmen, several assassinations ended in failure. Unexpectedly, this time Ouyang Feilong actually came out by himself.
Li An arranged to the housekeeper in the audience: "Tell our people, this time we will do a good job of ambush on the road, we must act quickly, don't leave any clues, in addition, inform our people in Ouyang Mansion, pay close attention to the recent movements of Ouyang Mansion and Duan Tian, and report to me as soon as there is a situation!"
The butler bowed his head in agreement, and then walked out of the hall.
"Wait, by the way, is there any news about Yidao now?" Li An suddenly stopped the housekeeper, and then asked.
"Lord Wang, he has already received a reply from the flying pigeon with a sword, and he has now rushed to Demon Spirit City, and I believe that it will not be long before he can retrieve the Northern Pluto Divine Sword. When the housekeeper saw Li An's inquiry, he replied to him.
"Okay, let's go down. Li An signaled, and the housekeeper retreated.
At this time, Li An stroked his beard, paced a few steps, and then the 'Dragon Teng Diagram' behind him. I nodded thoughtfully.
