Chapter 9: Shadow of the Window in the Middle of the Night

There was a lot of confusion on the shore, but the fisherman in the lake put away his rod for a long time, and he was not seen rowing, but the boat began to drift away from the shore.

"Do you want to leave?" Just when everyone seemed to have forgotten the existence of the fisherman, the young man in white suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at the boat: "Such a vicious method, I don't know who Your Excellency is?"

"It's just a fisherman!" The fisherman's expression hidden under the hat was unknown, and his hoarse voice made a contemptuous voice: "With your little doll, you are not worthy of asking the name of a certain family." ”

The young man in white laughed and said, "With Your Excellency's little effort, you can't pretend to be an evil angler!"

When the fisherman heard that the young man in white dared to doubt his identity, he said angrily: "When the old man was crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, your kid had not yet been born, and you dared to talk nonsense here?"

"What, scared?" the young man in white shouted, "It's not so easy to slip away!" As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a vicious slave brought by the young man beside him.

The minion didn't expect the white-clothed young man to make a move on him, and when he was so frightened that he avoided it, his hand suddenly lightened, and the steel knife he had just picked up had already whistling towards the boat in the lake.

The figure of the young man in white swayed, like a bolt of lightning passing through the crowd of evil slaves, and immediately three steel knives flew towards the fisherman on the boat.

The fisherman didn't expect the young man in white to be so amazing, and after knocking off the two steel knives, the rod body was shaken by the amazing power from the knives, and he could no longer stabilize it.

The fisherman's reaction was also very fast, he lost the fishing rod, caught the third flying knife, and the knife light swirled, knocking the fourth steel knife.

Seeing this, the young man in white smiled and said, "Do evil anglers also have times when they can't move their fishing rods?" The words fell, and as his body turned, four steel knives circled and flew into the lake, flying towards the lake with a whining sound.

The fisherman on the boat was wearing a heavy coat and hat, and he was already unable to move, and he was on a narrow boat, and he even owed a place to dodge.

In a hurry, the fisherman shouted, "Do you want your kid to meddle with things?" Huo Di flashed off the burden of clothes and hats on his body, and the steel knife danced with all his might, knocking down all the flying knives that attacked him like a silver wheel.

Only then did Chai Shaoning see clearly that the fisherman was dressed in black, even his head was wrapped in a black cloth, and he only dug holes in his eyes, revealing a pair of big eyes like a leopard, and the pupils emitted green light, which was as straight as the eyes of a beast in the middle of the night, which made people shudder.

"The one who hides his head and shows his tail, I want you to show your original form today!" The woman in white, who had been sitting at the table, only then did she snort and get up and pull out the long sword in her hand.

At this moment, the young man in white slashed his arms together, and the two steel knives were full of strength, and they shot at the fisherman on the boat.

The white shadow flashed, and Chai Shaoning couldn't help but shout: "What a light skill!"

It turned out that the woman in white actually jumped into the air at a very fast speed, stretched out her foot and stepped on the handle of a steel knife thrown by the young man in white, and flew towards the boat with the knife like a wind.

Although the movements are so fast that they can't be repeated, the posture of the woman in white is still light and elegant, and there is no trace of reluctance, giving people a sense of fluency and beauty that is relaxed and pleasant.

In the blink of an eye, the human knife was integrated and flew in front of the fisherman.

The long sword of the woman in white stretched forward, the tip of the sword was light and elegant, and at the same time, a cold star cover was conjured up towards the opponent's head, and the force under her feet was exerted, and the flying knife suddenly sank a foot, and the handle of the knife was hitting the steel knife body below, and the two knives changed direction at the same time, breaking through the knife net drawn by the fisherman, and shooting at his lower abdomen in a volley, the change was so fast that it was impossible to prevent it.

The fisherman said "ahhh The two steel knives narrowly grazed the fisherman's chest and flew down to the depths of the distant lake.

There was a "click" sound, and the fisherman's body broke through the bottom of the boat and disappeared into the water.

The woman in white was in the air, with nowhere to borrow strength, and she was about to fly over the boat, when she suddenly saw her waist bent, and the long sword happened to hit the inner edge of the stern, and the whole person suddenly became upside down in the air, from the tip of her toes to the tip of the sword, like a mast inserted in the stern of the ship.

With this move, the graceful body of the woman in white was fully revealed, and the wind swayed like a lotus leaf to create an infinite wonder, and the boat was also lightly floated forward like a fairy.

When Chai Shaoning couldn't help but cheer loudly, the long sword in the hand of the woman in white bent, and her figure immediately bounced upward, and it blew back to the shore of the lake like a gust of wind, and the movements were done in one go, and the posture was indescribably beautiful and moving.

"Could it be them?" Chen Zhongshou's expression suddenly changed to excitement, and he looked at the young man and woman's eyes with admiration.

"Who are they?" Seeing the magical martial arts and peerless demeanor of the young men and women, Chai Shaoning was impressed, and wanted to know the origin of the two, so he immediately opened his mouth to ask Chen Zhongshou for advice.

Chen Zhongshou said excitedly: "If I guessed correctly, these two should be the top figures among the young generation who have risen in the rivers and lakes in recent years, the Lone Star Swordsman and the Cold Moon Princess!"

"Lone Star Swordsman, Princess Lengyue?" Hearing such a cold and arrogant nickname, Chai Shaoning couldn't help but be curious.

"It must be them!" Chen Zhongshou's tone became affirmative and said: "I heard that Lone Star and Leng Yue are another enviable pair of strange heroes in the rivers and lakes after the Pansong Swordsman and the Cuizhu Fairy twenty years ago, I thought it was an exaggeration, but when I saw it today, I knew that the rumors were true!"

As the two of them were talking, the Lone Star Swordsman and Princess Leng Yue had already returned together, but they did not enter the shed, and went straight to the shopkeeper to settle the bill and lead the horse.

At this time, the guys in the shop respected the two like gods, and fought to bring the horses, and refused to even accept the tea money.

The Lone Star Swordsman was not reluctant, and he and Princess Leng Yue both got on their horses, and the two white clouds floated into the distance and disappeared.

Chai Shaoning looked at the direction where Lone Star and Leng Yue left in a daze, and when would he see the dragon and phoenix in this pair again, a cry came from behind him, and when he looked back, a group of servants from the Lu Mansion were carrying a corpse out of the building.

Chai Shaoning was taken aback and got up to look.

After only a while, Xiao Yunfei's entire cheek was rotten and white, and he was really hopeless. Thinking about the power of that poison, Chai Shaoning couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

Lu Tianyong's body had also been put away at this time, and a servant who knew how to water went down to the bottom of the lake to pick up the young master's head and wrap it in cloth.

The evil servants of the Lu family no longer had their previous arrogance, like lost dogs, said goodbye to the local gentry in a gray manner, and hurriedly returned to the way they came.

After this incident, the guys of the "Immortal Lai" restaurant were trembling, and they didn't even have the strength to greet the guests.

Chen Zhongshou told everyone to hurry up and finish eating, leave this dangerous place and continue to hurry.

Chai Shaoning had the heart to inquire about the whereabouts of the Dragon Swordsman and his granddaughter, but seeing that the rest of the entourage were all nervous, he had no intention of stopping, so he had to give up.

Before dusk, everyone entered the provincial capital of Taiyuan. Chen Zhongshou handed over the documents to the government office, and some officials arranged for everyone to live in a post house in the east of the city.

This post house occupies a vast area, with more than 20 guest rooms in each of the three courtyards in front and back, and Chai Shaoning and others are arranged in a large room next to the open hall of the first and second courtyards in the front yard.

After two days of intense preparation, the examination began. After three days of screening, the list was announced, and none of Chai Shaoning's six peers were selected.

Dejected, everyone returned to the post house to pack their luggage, and prepared to return to Yatouguan the next day.

That night, Chai Shaoning lay in bed and couldn't sleep. His wish to exempt his neighbors from land tax for one year was completely frustrated, and he was a little afraid of the feeling of returning to the mountain village, but his thoughts about his uncle and aunt were even stronger. It's been more than a month since I left the second elder, I don't know how the family is doing?

In the midst of contradictions, Chai Shaoning suddenly remembered Lone Star and Leng Yue, the dragon and phoenix among the people, but unfortunately missed it and failed to get acquainted with them, and the girl in the mouth of the evil slave of the Lu family, I don't know who she is, where is she now?

Since he had never seen the face of the Dragon Swordsman, Chai Shaoning could only gratefully portray in his heart the appearance of this mentor who had made him in the dark, eager to know everything about him and get to know his relatives who had left behind in the world.

However, after another thought, the beautiful face of senior sister Lin Zhimei appeared uncontrollably, which filled the heart of Chai Shaoning, who was just beginning to bloom, with fiery sweetness.

When there were thousands of thoughts, a faint sound came from the window, and it was not because Chai Shaoning had deep internal strength, and he was awake, otherwise it would be difficult to hear.

Sensing that the sound was different, Chai Shaoning turned his head slightly, and a black shadow flashed on the window paper that was unusually bright by the starlight outside.

Knowing that there must be a following, Chai Shao lay still.

In a moment, the shadow hung down from above the window again, and a thin tube silently reached through the hole in the window paper that had only been licked with his tongue.

It was only at this moment that Chai Shaoning's body slid out of the quilt like a fish, floated onto the windowsill, and secretly reached out to block the mouth of the pipe that reached into the house.

With a "poof", the other party blew down hard, and all the medicinal powder hidden in the tube sprayed out.

After a low exclamation, the black shadow asked for help, "Pull me up!" It was only at this moment that his body became weak from the drug.

A dark shadow rose from the window paper, and another voice said, "What's wrong with you?"

The shadow reluctantly replied, "I'm choking on drugs!" and then only heard the soft call of his fellow rooftops, and no longer heard the shadow respond.

The thief had another accomplice. Chai Shaoning landed lightly and got dressed, picked up a steel knife of his fellow martial arts, pushed the window and jumped out, and jumped into the room from behind.

The house is located between the front and back courtyards, and the roof is double-sided tiled. Chai Shaoning hid behind the ridge of the roof, quietly looked forward, and saw a thief lying on the roof tiles, his accomplice squatting beside him, holding a porcelain bottle in his hand, pouring a drop of liquid from the bottle and smearing it on the nose of the unconscious thief.

After a while, the unconscious thief woke up.

When the latter saw the thief wake up, he put the porcelain bottle in his hand and put it in the pocket behind his waist.

Chai Shaoning's body floated up like catkins and swept behind the thief.

As soon as the thief's hand was loosened, the porcelain bottle happened to fall into Chai Shaoning's palm.

The thief who woke up opened his eyes and cried out "ah".

The accomplice exclaimed: "Speak softly, don't alarm the people in the house." ”

The thief rubbed his eyes and said, "Could it be that I am dazzled? ”

The accomplice was startled and hurriedly turned around to look around.
