Chapter Twenty-Four: Night into Sun's Mansion

A bright moon hung high for half a day, illuminating the ground as dazzling as silver, even if he didn't use the night eye, Chai Shaoning could clearly see ten zhang away.

There was no way to hide from such a night, so Chai Shaoning simply ran all the way. Fortunately, there was no war for many years, and except for the patrolling men and horses, there was no fortification on most sections of the city wall of Taiyuan Mansion. Chai Shaoning chose a deserted area, jumped over the wall, and in less than an hour, he had already crouched on the roof opposite the living room of "Sun Ji Silk Village".

It was the middle of the night, the lights were still on in the hall, and a short and fat old man stood in the room with his hands in his hands.

Due to the hot weather, the doors and windows of the living room are open, and you can see the interior of the spacious hall with luxurious decorations. In the middle of the carved wooden window, precious paintings hang on the wall, a group of screens filled with porcelain block the entrance to the inner room in the back hall, and a table of eight immortals is placed in the center of the hall, leaving an open space in front of the table, and wooden chairs are placed on both sides.

The fat old man stood in front of the table, with his back to the door, pondering for a long time, and he didn't know what he had in mind? Shaking his head and turning around, his round face, round eyes, and round nose, although he was old, his face was supported by subcutaneous fat, and there was a little oil, and he could not see a trace of wrinkles, and his eyes, which had been too shrewd because of years of calculation, flashed with a cunning light, and he was wearing a light blue printed satin robe, and his fat head was crowned with a foreign hat, and two long streamers hung down to the back of his head, like an overly greedy landman. It is the appearance of Sun Renshou, the owner of the "Sun Ji Silk Village" described by Song Shoucheng.

Thinking that his parents died because of this person, Chai Shaoning's heart suddenly rose with anger, and he knocked on the side of the secret road, it is better to go straight to the topic, the bloody case and collusion with Murong Nianhua that happened back then, Sun Renshou himself should know best, as long as he catches him and asks, any internal mu can be investigated, which is better than hard work to find out the news.

At this time, it was already midnight, and everyone was already resting, except for Sun Renshou, there was no other figure in the courtyard where the living room was located. Chai Shaoning secretly screamed Heaven help me, his body moved at will, ghostly floating window in, before Sun Renshou had time to react, the long sword pressed horizontally on the opponent's fat neck, and threatened in a low voice: "Don't scream!"

Before the words were finished, a strong sense of crisis swept over.

This was purely intuitive, but it was so real that Chai Shaoning instinctively stretched out his left palm to block his abdomen.

With a loud bang, Chai Shaoning was shocked by a strong force and fell out, smashed a wooden chair, and fell to the base of the wall. Not yet to stand up, the wind and the top. Chai Shaoning's soul flew and he raised his sword and fight, and the whole person was immediately smashed and flew to the curtain on the right side of the screen in the hall.

Everything happened too suddenly, Chai Shaoning didn't have time to figure out what was going on? He only knew that it was a matter of life and death at this time, and tried to keep his heart a little clear, and when his body was about to crash through the curtain and enter the inner entrance connected to the hall, his right foot was sick, and he stepped on the corner of the screen with a "click", and stiffly stopped the momentum, and turned over to the top of the screen, and at the same time, his eyes quickly swept over the hall, and finally saw the hideous fat face of Sun Renshou who chased after the candlestick in the hall.

Chai Shaoning never dreamed that Sun Renshou would be a hidden master, in order to survive, he took a sharp breath, and before Sun Renshou reincarnated the candlestick again, the body bow bounced out, and the long sword spilled a piece of silver, piercing Sun Renshou's eyes.

Sun Renshou saw that Chai Shaoning was able to block him in a hurry, and the fierceness in his eyes was even worse, and he shouted in a low voice: "The kid is not bad, but unfortunately he is not your grandfather's opponent with this ability, and this is your burial place tonight!"

However, the moment the weapons intersected, Chai Shaoning's figure suddenly disappeared.

Sun Renshou's profundity was also taken aback, and the smashed candlestick conjured up a heavy staff shadow to protect his body, and he poked his toes above, hooking the beam in the hall like a ghost, and his eyes shot down, and he saw Chai Shaoning gliding on the ground like a swimming fish.

Blocking Sun Renshou's two attacks, Chai Shaoning already knew that the opponent's skill was extremely profound, and it was by no means comparable to himself, so at the moment of pounce, his feet moved secretly, entangled the corner of the curtain hanging down from the side of the screen to the inner entrance, and when his body was straight and deceived Sun Renshou to jump up and attack, his body shrank with strength and fell under Sun Renshou.

Sun Renshou knew that he was fooled, kicked the beam, and the arrow shot down.

Seeing this, Chai Shaoning, who was struggling to move forward, was in a hurry and slapped his palm on the door frame at the moment when he left the hall door, and the figure of the forward flight suddenly flew sideways, and narrowly avoided the cane pursued by Sun Renshou.

The roar came from behind him, Chai Shaoning didn't dare to turn his head back, jumped onto the high wall, and his body unfolded with all his strength, rushing out in a straight line.

waited until he jumped out of the city, and Chai Shaoning dared to stop and turn back. The vast flat land outside the city was as bright as day by the moonlight, and only the high walls cast a long black shadow.

Sure that Sun Renshou did not chase after him, Chai Shaoning let out a sigh of relief and returned sullenly in the direction of Beiping Town.

Who would have thought that Sun Renshou would be a more dangerous person than Lu Xiufeng? This made his identity more suspicious, and at the same time, it also made Chai Shaoning's goal of investigating the bloody case and avenging his parents more difficult to achieve, as for asking Lin Zhimei's whereabouts from Sun Renshou's mouth, it seems impossible at all now, and it is already commendable to escape from the old thief this time, with Chai Shaoning's current skills, Sun Renshou will be lucky not to deal with him.

But why didn't Sun Renshou chase after him? Tonight, the moonlight is like day, and although the possibility of him being exposed has greatly increased, Chai Shaoning's escape does not mean that Sun Renshou can no longer conceal his true truth? With his superb skills, he has been willing to be plain for so many years, and there must be a truth hidden behind him that no one dares to know.

Chai Shaoning was thinking about it, and his vision in front of him suddenly dimmed, entering the depths of the dense forest where Geng Qiuwen and Fang Xiaoyun were ambushed when they came to Taiyuan Mansion last time.

A giggle came into his ears.

Three watches in the middle of the night, gloomy wild forest, who will be active here?

Chai Shaoning, who had become a frightened bird, immediately slowed down and cautiously leaned towards the place where the sound came from.

"Two sisters, do you really think that Xiaosheng doesn't know that the two of you are following?" A voice came, and the blood in Chai Shaoning's body immediately boiled. The mountains and rivers are so suspicious that there is no way out, the willows and flowers are bright and there is another tree, I thought that I ran for nothing tonight, but I didn't want to meet Murong Nianhua here again.

Chai Shaoning gritted his teeth and drew his sword, tiptoed forward, and slowly saw Murong Nianhua smiling lewdly at the two girls who were besieged by a group of thieves.

Murong Nianhua didn't know that the danger was approaching, he smiled proudly at the two girls in front of him: "If it weren't for the intention to let the two sisters discover their whereabouts, how could you easily enter the depths of this inaccessible dense forest?"

The laughter full of lewd smell immediately erupted, and one of the loud voices overshadowed the crowd: "You are still a little devil with a lot of eyes." ”

Chai Shaoning had just suffered a big loss under Sun Renshou's hands, and when he heard this powerful voice, he didn't dare to get too close for a while, and looked behind the hidden tree.

The two women who were besieged by the thieves were both in their prime age, and they seemed to be slightly younger than Chai Shaoning, wearing night clothes, but their faces were not covered with black veils, and they stood with swords back to back, and their slender bodies were like two night lotuses competing for beauty. However, looking at the eyes of the two, they were already full of fear, constantly looking left and right, as if they were looking for a possible opportunity to escape.

Looking at the group of thieves around, in addition to the hooks and abduction monsters that Chai Shaoning had seen last time, there were two more black-clothed men beside Murong Nianhua. These two big men look to be in their forties, extremely burly, both wearing black robes, with long hair tied with black belts, and their images are extremely hideous.

It was one of them who made the loud voice.

Chai Shaoning didn't know the origin of these two black-clothed men, but seeing that there was no one next to them, his identity seemed to be above the pair of weirdos who made hooks and crutches, and his strength was not trivial.

Hard fighting is certainly no match for these people. Last time, he was taken by surprise and caught the hook and the monster by surprise, and he fought fairly, but he may not be able to win those two people, not to mention two more black-clothed men who are likely to have higher martial arts?

Chai Shaoning frowned and looked at the situation in front of him. It seems that Murong Nianhua wants to capture this pair of girls alive, so it is better to simply wait for him to succeed, and then secretly follow him to see where he takes the two girls? Maybe he can meet the senior sister who was also imprisoned by him, and then find a way to rescue the third girl.

Thinking of the opportunity to rescue Lin Zhimei, Chai Shaoning trembled all over, hating to stab Murong Nianhua to death immediately, and on the other hand, he had to remind himself to calm down.

At the moment of the strong enemy, he can only secretly suppress the flame of hatred, hide and do not move, and wait and see what happens.

Murong Nianhua didn't seem to be in a hurry to take people, just stood there and kept teasing, enjoying the pleasure of teasing each other.

"Shut up for me!" One of the girls finally couldn't bear it anymore, and opened her mouth to reprimand angrily: "Murong Nianhua, you lewd thief, talk nonsense again, be careful that I tear your mouth." ”

"So my sister knows my name?" Murong Nianhua showed an exaggerated expression, then opened the folding fan with a "bang", and asked leisurely: "So I don't have to introduce myself, but I don't know what to call my sisters' names?"

The two trapped girls looked frightened, but they were not to be outdone, and the other girl spoke: "Adulterer, although we were lured into the forest by you, but the young lady can't find us, and will chase after us soon, and then you are afraid that you will not even have a chance to escape!"

Murong Nianhua laughed and said, "Why should I run away? I can't hide it, I already liked Miss Ouyang's beauty in the future, but I couldn't afford to provoke her, so I kept it still." Now that Ouyang Qian is so stupid that she left Shandong and came to Taiyuan Mansion, how could I let her go?"

"Phew!" the girl spat and scolded before: "You dare to covet our young lady?

"Bold, what do you think your young lady is?" The black-robed man standing beside Murong Nianhua shouted again, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, beware of me tearing your mouth." ”

"Tearing your mouth?" Murong Nianhua was not annoyed at all by the girl's insult, he just looked at the other party with bad intentions and smiled: "Such beauties, wouldn't it be more interesting to tear off their clothes than to tear their mouths?"

The two women scolded in unison.
