Shocked killers

"Oops, why is it so cold?"

Not long after the servant went out, Cheng Qihou woke up, probably because he felt cold after the window was opened and the cool breeze came in, and he woke up from the cold.

Chi Zhongtian saw that Chengqi Hou had woken up, and hurriedly said, "Master Hou, are you awake?"

Cheng Qi Hou opened his eyes in a daze, yawned first, and then looked closely.

"Zhongtian?"

Cheng Qihou seemed to think that he had seen it wrong, and after rubbing his eyes and taking a closer look, he grinned and said, "Zhongtian, it's really you kid, haha, you haven't been here for a long time!"

Chi Zhongtian hurriedly beckoned Ao Shuangxue to get him clothes, and at the same time helped Chengqi Hou up, and said: "I'm sorry Hou Ye, I've been very busy during this time, I only came back last night, I heard that you are sick, but it makes me anxious." ”

Chi Zhongtian's words were very sincere, and Cheng Qihou knew that they were sincere when he heard them.

"Haha, don't get in the way, it must be the frost girl talking nonsense to you again. Cheng Qihou took the clothes handed over by Ao Shuangxue and joked with a smile.

"Not really. Aoshuangxue replied.

"Master Hou, you biedong first, I'll give you a pulse. Chi Zhongtian suddenly thought that when this person just woke up in the morning, the pulse was the most suitable.

"Come on, no, no. "Cheng Qihou doesn't seem to want to admit that he is sick.

"Master Hou, let me call the number. After Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, regardless of whether Cheng Qihou wanted to or not, he directly pulled his palm, and then put his fingers on his pulse.

After pondering for a long time, Chi Zhongcai frowned and took his hand away.

"Master Hou, are you too worried about this time?"

As soon as Chi Zhongtian asked, Chengqi Hou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You are talking nonsense, what am I worried about, really." ”

"Master Hou, you tell me the truth, although I am not a miracle doctor, but I still understand the pulse, your pulse is too floating, it is obviously a sign of insufficient qi and blood, there are generally two situations of insufficient qi and blood, one is that you can't keep up with eating and drinking, that is, you can't eat good things, and the other is that you can't worry too much, you can't afford to eat good things. ”

Chi Zhongtian's words made Cheng Qihou feel impressed, he had known Chi Zhongtian for so long, and he didn't know that he understood the pulse.

"Chi Gongzi!"

At this moment, a guard outside the door suddenly ran in.

"What's wrong?" Chi Zhongtian didn't understand him and ran in.

This guard didn't look very old, only thirty years away, and he looked honest, he first looked at Chengqi Hou, then gritted his teeth, and said as if he had made up his mind: "Master Hou, don't hide it, Master Chi will definitely be able to help you solve it." ”

"Bold! I'm talking to Chi Gongzi here, how can you come in without permission, get out quickly!" Cheng Qihou said angrily.

"Master Hou, I don't care, I have to say, Master Chi, during this time, there have been two killers before and after, and they want to kill Master Hou!"

After the guard finished speaking, he seemed to be much more relaxed.

"Presumptuous, what nonsense, it's really getting more and more unruly, get out!" Cheng Qihou rarely lost his temper with his subordinates, and it seemed that this guard seemed to be disobedient to him.

"Master Hou, what's wrong, what else do you and I have to hide!" Chi Zhongtian heard that a killer was coming to kill Cheng Qi Hou, and his heart immediately hung in his throat.

Even Ao Shuangxue asked as if the second monk was scratching his head: "When did this happen, why did I never know?"

Chi Zhongtian didn't know, and it was understandable, after all, he wasn't in Shezhou, but Ao Shuangxue never left, how could she not hear the wind at all.

"You come out and tell me alone, Shuangxue, accompany Master Hou here!"

Chi Zhongtian was afraid that the guard would be frightened by Cheng Qihou, so he got up and dragged him out, and after coming to a tree outside, Chi Zhongtian asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"At first, it was more than 20 days ago, one night we were about to sleep, and it was a coincidence, that night Hou Ye had been reading in the study, and I saw it very late, and I was in a daze, I heard someone shouting to catch the assassin, and a few of us quickly ran to Hou Ye's study, and after going, Hou Ye stood outside the door, and two people fell at the door, and after everyone came out, I couldn't see the assassin at all, alas, if it weren't for the two brothers desperately blocking it, Hou Ye might have been poisoned. ”

"What about the next one?" Chi Zhongtian remembered that the guard had just said that he had encountered two killers.

"It was ten days ago, it was also night, Hou Ye had fallen asleep, since the first encounter with the killer, we were afraid of something missing, so we turned the original three batches of night patrols into two batches, the first half of the night was a few of us guarded, and there was nothing to do, and after the second half of the night was replaced, we just fell asleep, and we heard movement again, this time there was no death, but the killer threw something into Hou Ye's house, and he could also release poisonous smoke, fortunately, Hou Ye was alert early, and immediately opened the door and came out, which survived. ”

After the guard finished speaking, he immediately said to Chi Zhongtian: "The little one has already told Hou Ye to go to you for help, but Hou Ye will not let him, even the proud girl came a few times, Hou Ye did not let him say, and then we knew that you were not there, so I didn't say it, but today you came, I risk being punished by Hou Ye to tell you, you must help, we are really afraid that next time, we will not be able to save Hou Ye." ”

After listening to the guard's words, Chi Zhongtian's heart fluctuated greatly, thinking that the Marquis of Qi was a lord of Shimono who had no quarrel with the world, who would have trouble with him?

According to what this guard said, this killer should not be a master, because the guards in the Hou Mansion alone can stop it, and the level is obviously average.

But, as the saying goes, it's easy to dodge with an open gun, it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow, even if the martial arts are bad, it's always a killer, when you know that someone always wants to take the opportunity to kill yourself, then can you be comfortable?

"What is Master Hou's illness?" Chi Zhongtian suddenly asked.

"Alas, although Hou Ye doesn't let us go everywhere, but I must be scared, I can't sleep well every night, these days, Hou Ye can't sleep every day, his eyes are often red and swollen in the morning, and then he sleeps again during the day, you know, Hou Ye is so old, how can he toss so much, no, within a few days, Hou Ye fell ill. The guard said worriedly.

"But it's okay to be sick, at least I can sleep at night. Then the guard smiled wryly and said the same thing.

Everyone knew that this was a joke, and Chi Zhongtian could see at a glance that Cheng Qihou was very weak, and he didn't want to sleep at night at all, and his spirit was no longer able to support it.
