Chai Shaoning woke up with a splitting headache.

Since dusk yesterday, Chai Shaoning, who has never drunk alcohol, has been staggered in the cups, bowl after bowl, until he is drunk. Fortunately, the powerful internal breath that circulated in his body on his own dissolved most of the alcohol power, so that Chai Shaoning would not feel too uncomfortable.

An unbearable sense of thirst hit, Chai Shaoning rubbed his sideburns and sat up.

There is no light outside the unclosed window, and I can't tell what time it is? The room is full of drunken and sleeping students.

When Chai Shaoning turned his head, there was a strange dark light flowing in his eyes, although outsiders could not detect it, but Chai Shaoning's body fluttered up like a gust of wind, and accurately avoided the sleeping position of many companions, and easily fell into the empty space where no one was sleeping in the inky dark room, dusted off the wrinkled robe, and pushed the door out of the house.

The four drums were perfect for coming at this time, when the night was falling. Chai Shaoning closed the door with his hand, recalled the location of the room he had seen during the day, and walked forward.

The shadow of the high wall pressed from the left side, and Chai Shaoning couldn't help but turn his head.

Behind the wall is the inner courtyard where Lin Xiaoru, the owner of this "Confucian Academy", and his daughter Lin Zhimei live. Thinking of Lin Zhimei's generous demeanor and decent words when she toasted many students for her father during the banquet yesterday evening, Chai Shaoning's heart was feverish.

The two sides have never known each other, and they actually have thoughts about the beautiful Miss Lin, Chai Shaoning turned around with a smile, and suddenly found that there was a figure behind a thick red fruit tree trunk beside him.

Chai Shaoning stopped.

The person hiding behind the trunk realized that his identity was exposed, and reached out and covered Chai Shaoning's mouth.

Although the two sides are only separated by a tree, Chai Shaoning is fully capable of avoiding the other party, and the reason why he did not hide is because he can see that the other party has no malicious intent.

The soft palm with a pure aura touched his lips, and a slender figure flashed out from behind the tree.

"Don't be afraid! I am Song Yuanlan, the daughter of the county order, and I am here on business, so as not to alarm the thief!" Song Yuanlan whispered.

Song Yuanlan was a head shorter than Chai Shaoning, perhaps for fear of being heard by thieves, and when she said this, she almost lay on Chai Shaoning.

Although the mountain city on a summer night was not hot, the two of them didn't wear much clothes, and with Song Yuanlan's movements, Chai Shaoning clearly felt two soft protrusions rubbing on his chest.

The mouth was pressed by the soft and boneless little hands, and the nose was filled with the girlish fragrance emitted by Song Yuanlan's body, and the breath in her ears was like an orchid. Chai Shaoning, who had never had such close contact with a woman, was red-faced, embarrassed in his heart, and couldn't help but regret a little that he didn't avoid the other party just now.

Song Yuanlan didn't think too much, she was still focused on the movement behind the wall while speaking, and seeing that Chai Shaoning had already understood, she whispered comfortingly: "You don't have to be afraid, hurry up and go back to the house, if you hear any noise outside, don't make a sound!" After speaking, he gently withdrew his hand from Chai Shaoning's mouth, turned around, and ran down the wall like a raccoon cat to the front of a moon gate, and her beautiful posture was wrapped tightly in her night clothes, beautiful and tempting.

"Song Yuanlan!" Chai Shaoning thought silently in his heart.

This time, Chai Shaoning left the mountain where he lived since he was a child and entered the county town of Bitouguan, in order to participate in the annual children's election, the selected students will be qualified to go to the provincial capital for the scientific examination, if they can pass the scientific examination again, they will be left in the provincial academy for training, waiting to participate in the autumn township examination, and even the entrance examination, the palace examination, until the title of the gold list.

Located in the northwest of Shanxi Province, north of the Great Wall, west of the Yellow River, is one of the important trade gathering places outside the territory of the Great Wall in the mainland, and is also one of the important border towns.

The carnival that led to Chai Shaoning's drunkenness was the congratulatory banquet for Song Changgeng and his daughter Song Yuanlan to bring wine and meat to the students.

Like Lin Zhimei, Song Yuanlan's appearance also amazed Chai Shaoning, who had been in the mountains. The beautiful face that is not inferior to Lin Zhimei, the slender waist like a thin willow, and especially the beautiful legs that are rare to see on other girls, made Chai Shaoning shocked at first sight and left an indelible impression.

There is a huge disparity between the identities of the two sides, Chai Shaoning didn't have the slightest delusion about Song Yuanlan, but he didn't know that he had such a close contact with this stunning beauty by mistake, which made Chai Shaoning's young heart feel agitated.

An inexplicable sound suddenly came from behind the wall, Chai Shaoning looked at Song Yuanlan, who was peeping into the inner courtyard along the crack in the door, her body was windless, and she rose to the red fruit tree next to the wall, hidden among the branches, and looked at the wall.

The sky was covered by stars and moons, and it was pitch black, and I believe that Song Yuanlan couldn't see the specific situation behind the crack in the door at all, and could only judge the development of the situation in the inner courtyard by her voice. But Chai Shaoning had an adventure, and with a pair of night eyes, he clearly saw two black-clothed men squatting on the wall on the other side of the inner courtyard, and with the assistance of the accomplices below, they pulled and pulled a hemp bag up the wall. Look at the shape of the sack sagging, it turned out to be a human inside!

Chai Shaoning was furious in his heart, knowing that when he encountered a thief, the slight sound of clothes hanging from the wind came from below, and a burly man wearing a night coat quickly swept to the front of the moon gate, and was watching the situation in the inner courtyard from the crack in the door.

Chai Shaoning saw this big man at the banquet and knew that his surname was Chen Zhongshou, and he was the senior brother of the county commander Song Changgeng, and Lin Xiaoru was one scholar and one martial artist, and became Song Changgeng's right-hand man.

When the reinforcements arrived, Song Yuanlan's mood was slightly relaxed, but when she turned around, she was shaken violently.

Although it was dark, in the empty courtyard, there were still shadows and shadows to see all kinds of vague outlines, but the figure before had disappeared like a ghost.

An inexplicable chill welled up in her heart, and Song Yuanlan hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, but finally didn't scream.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhongshou asked in a low voice when he saw this.

Song Yuanlan trembled and put down her hand, and said softly: "There were obviously people in the courtyard just now. ”

Listening to Song Yuanlan's brief words, Chen Zhongshou was also taken aback, but at this time, in the inner courtyard, the thieves had already transported the sack containing people out of the wall. Chen Zhongshou then said: "Since this person came out of the house, he should be a student who is running for the election, and most of them listened to your words and avoided going back." can leave so quickly and quietly, it must be a martial artist, pay attention to it in the future, maybe you can recruit a tiger general for your father. ”

Song Yuanlan thought about it and made sense, as soon as she put her mind down, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to let the other party touch her chest in a hurry just now, and her face couldn't help but redden, but fortunately, in the dark, Chen Zhongshou didn't notice it at all.

"When this matter is over, we must find out that person, and we can't be taken advantage of by him for no reason!" Song Yuanlan thought as she jumped up the wall and followed behind the thief with Chen Zhongshou.

The four thieves in front of them, together carrying the sacks containing people, quickly sneaked along an alley of the people's room.

The dark alley was deep, and the four of them turned left and right, and finally came to the door of a small courtyard after half an hour.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, thieves and mermaids entered.

Song Yuanlan thought she had arrived at the thief's den, but she heard Chen Zhongshou's voice in her ear: "Don't act rashly!"

At half a pillar of incense, the people in the house heard that there was no movement outside, and came out of the courtyard again, calling out four other thieves who had already been hiding nearby, and the eight people took turns to carry the sack and rushed forward again.

Turning her head to look at Chen Zhongshou who had been lying beside her, Song Yuanlan admired in her heart, if it weren't for Chen Zhongshou's rich experience, she would have rashly broken into the ambush carefully set up by the thieves just now.

After the thief left this time, he no longer looked forward and backward along the way, quickly passed through several alleys, and went straight to the back door of a large mansion in the west of the city.

Song Yuanlan and Chen Zhongshou were afraid that the thieves would deceive again, so they avoided the main gate and went around to a wall on the left that was covered by several big trees, and listened to the fact that there was no movement inside, so they quietly jumped on the tree and jumped into the uninhabited area behind the wall.

Surveying their surroundings, they found that the place was a garden, with untrimmed flowers and trees, and a mess of weeds growing together.

The thieves who were admitted to the hospital did not know which direction they went, and in the garden, which looked like a field, there was only a stable standing alone.

At this time, the stables were empty, there were not a single animal, and the door of the hut where the forage was stored on the side of the stable was closed, and it was a little frighteningly silent.

The thieves should not leave the hostages they had painstakingly taken alone in the forage room, Chen Zhongshou beckoned, and led Song Yuanlan through the stable, heading straight to the inner courtyard with many houses in front of him.

Before he reached the inner courtyard wall, a sudden sense of crisis suddenly enveloped Chen Zhongshou's body.

"Ahh

Song Yuanlan didn't hear the sound of the wind hanging when the weapon crossed until she fell to the ground.

As soon as the door of the inner courtyard in front of him opened, countless figures poured out, and someone shouted, "Don't let them run away!" Then the fire lit up and shone on the back of an old man who was already standing in front of Chen Zhongshou and Song Yuanlan.

The old man was tall but thin as firewood, holding a black iron hook in his hand, and under the reflection of the fire behind him, his face was even darker, and the fine iron exuded a ghostly light, and his eyes flashed like stars with ruthlessness, giving people a terrible feeling of being powerful and powerful.

Song Yuanlan hurriedly got up and pulled out her long sword, but Chen Zhongshou beside her shouted: "Hurry up!", pulled her back and ran.

Another sound of footsteps sounded, and a group of thieves also appeared behind, striking back and forth, immediately forcing Chen Zhongshou and Song Yuanlan to the forage house next to the stable.

"Uncle Chen, you're injured!" Song Yuanlan didn't find out until she couldn't escape, and when she stopped, she found that Chen Zhongshou's right arm was dripping with blood, and she was holding the long sword in her left hand.

Chen Zhongshou didn't even have time to bandage his wounds, and said with a wry smile: "It's me who is too light on the enemy, and I didn't send someone to inform your father before I came." Now I have to fight hard with them, hoping that the sound of the fight will alarm the nearby night patrol and attract officers and soldiers. After speaking, he took a step forward, protected Song Yuanlan behind him, raised his sword in his left hand, pointed at the black and thin old man who was approaching, and asked, "Thief, have the courage to report your name." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Chen Zhongshou, with your ability, you are not my opponent Shen Guoxiong. I advise you to lay down your sword, lest you die unpleasantly. ”
