Chapter 23 Nightcrawler

On that day, all the people who came and went to Xicheng noticed that the guards at the gate of Xicheng were surprisingly strict. Even though the people coming and going at the city gate were blocked, the officers and soldiers still kept strict guard, meticulously checking everyone who left the city to prevent them from letting anyone go. As for those who enter the city, they don't pay that much attention.

In addition, the officers and soldiers of Xicheng also patrolled the streets from time to time, as if they were looking for someone. Such an act inevitably made everyone speculate whether there was someone in Xicheng.

At this time, the source of everything was hiding in the alley of Xicheng, looking at the officers and soldiers coming and going, frowning.

Ye Tianxuan looked at Gao Xing and Han Yun, snorted, and said hatefully: "It's the first time I've been treated like this since I was a child. That old stubborn thing in Xicheng Zhizhou, next time I have a chance, I will pull his beard and beat him. ”

In contrast, Han Yun and Gao Xing were much calmer, and Han Yun just sighed helplessly and said, "On our way, we either encountered mountain thieves or horse thieves. I finally said that I would never meet these people again, but I didn't expect that we ourselves would become wanted thieves. ”

Na Gao Xing laughed and said, "If you don't be a thief, it doesn't matter if grandpa is not." It's just that...... I don't have anywhere to eat to fill my stomach...... Hey, I'm bored, I still want to eat and drink in this Xi City. ”

"You two are really ......" Ye Tianxuan looked at the two men accompanying him, and his tone inexplicably revealed a feeling of hatred for iron and steel. Han Yun smiled awkwardly, and then responded, "It's like this, there's no way about it." Instead of burying and hating the old man in Zhizhou like you and the stinky girl, it is better to think about what to do next. ”

"Not only the old stubborn, but also his child. Ye Tianxuan gritted her teeth and said, "I still think this kid has followed us all the way, and he will be closer to us." As a result, I didn't expect that at that time, I didn't even dare to tell the truth, and I didn't know what to say...... Ahh Ye Tianxuan was also a delicate person, and she was treated like this by this Zhizhou and his child, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

Han Yun shrugged his shoulders and didn't continue to talk about the topic, but quietly proposed, "Let's stay here for now, and we should avoid the limelight." At night, when they think they'll let their guard down, we'll go find something to eat, and then we'll ...... Do something big at night. ”

"Big deal?" Hearing this, Ye Tianxuan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help asking, "What's the big deal?"

"Could it be that you want to have a good fight with these officers and soldiers?" Gao Xing grinned. He was very keen on fighting.

When Han Yun heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Since they say that we are thieves, then, let's do something that thieves should do to show them." ”

"No...... It's still too ugly to say that a thief. We should count on, Nightcrawler. Han Yun smiled, exuding a unique lazy temperament in his smile.

It was night, because of the series of behaviors of the official mansion during the day, the people of Xicheng felt a little panicked, and they didn't dare to go to the street at all, and the peace of the night came much earlier than in the past.

Mu Tong looked outside his room, the high and thick walls of the Mu family's mansion blocked his vision, and he couldn't see anything in the distance. In the past, he could still listen to the sound and imagine what was happening outside, but today, in this silent night, only endless darkness and endless silence greeted him.

Mu Tong's heart was inexplicably a little annoyed, but he couldn't do anything to change this situation.

He felt a little bored, turned to look behind him, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he pushed aside the sage books that his father and Mr. Jiaoshu had arranged for him, and then secretly took a book from his bookshelf that was hidden by other sage books.

This book was written by Mr. Le Yaole, a well-known person in the rivers and lakes in the early years, and in his words, it seems to be called, martial arts novels. Although Mr. Le repeatedly said that the original book was not him, and he also heard it from a respected old gentleman, all he did was to retell the story in his own words, but everyone has always acquiesced to Mr. Le for this book. And the name of this martial arts novel, Mu Tong likes it very much, it is magnificent and atmospheric, it is called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

This book was also brought home by Mu Tong with great effort, and the world of rivers and lakes described in it made him yearn for it. Although the protagonist of this novel is a stupid and stupid person, there are various coincidences along the way, not only accompanied by beautiful women, but also learned a peerless skill, which makes Mu Tong envious. Whenever he has the opportunity, he always finds an opportunity to read a few pages to relieve the loneliness in his heart.

Mu Tong watched it with relish, completely engrossed, and didn't notice that someone was approaching behind him. The man stretched out his hand and snatched the novel in Mu Tong's hand, Mu Tong was stunned for a moment, then turned to look, but saw that it was his father, Xicheng Zhizhou, Mu Jingcheng.

Mu Tong subconsciously wanted to reach out and take the novel back, but Mu Jingcheng only glanced at Mu Tong and glared at him, so frightened that the latter retracted his hand and didn't dare to move. Mu Jingcheng glanced at the content of the novel a few times, then closed the book, sighed lightly, and said to Mu Tong earnestly: "This kind of book, what is there to see, read more about what the predecessors said, and learn some sage character and knowledge, isn't it much better than reading this kind of book and thinking about what things are going on?"

"This book...... It was also written by Mr. Le......" Mu Tong said a word timidly, and Mu Jingcheng immediately dismissed it: "Mr. Le's knowledge of astronomy and geography is just his temporary pastime." Why don't you learn from Mr. Ren's Le, and only see such things?"

Mu Tong was silent and didn't dare to say anything more. Seeing this, Mu Jingcheng's heart softened all of a sudden, and he said softly: "If you can really learn something good and become a wise man like Mr. Le, my father will not object." However, is that what you can learn by reading this kind of book? Reading such a book can only make you think about going to some kind of rivers and lakes, but what is the use? Dad is old and can't save you for the rest of your life. You should work your own and be a learned person, and your father can pave the way for you with his own ability before he gets old. ”

"But that's ...... What's the meaning of my life......" Mu Tong couldn't help but want to refute, but he didn't dare to say it in the end, this sentence was held in his heart, and he didn't say it.

Mu Jingcheng saw Mu Tong like this, only when he understood his intentions, he patted Mu Tong on the shoulder, put back the sage book he pushed away, and then said to Mu Tong: "Come, dad will accompany you to take a look." If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. ”

At that moment, Mu Tong only felt that the hand on his shoulder seemed to weigh a thousand catties, only heavier than the blow of the bandit that day. Under the influence of this hand, he looked at the book numbly, and read word after word in a hoarse voice, breaking the peaceful silence of the night.

At this moment, a guard suddenly shouted in the Mu family's mansion: "There is a thief invading, come and catch the thief!"

Mu Jingcheng couldn't help frowning when he heard this shout. He snorted coldly and said sharply: "Where did the thief come from so ignorant that he dared to break into my Mu family." ”

"It's our thieves who you can't forget, I didn't expect it. A voice suddenly sounded outside the window, making Mu Tong raise his head instantly. At that moment, he saw a young man with a lazy smile stepping on the windowsill in the dark night, turning over and entering, stepping on the sage book in front of him, and said condescendingly and proudly: "Night Ranger Han Yun came to greet and visit Lord Zhizhou, and after a day today, he received a lot of care from Lord Zhizhou. ”

"It's you again!?I didn't find you, but you sent it to the door yourself?" Mu Jingcheng sneered. Han Yun looked fearless, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Lord Zhizhou, you have to see the current situation clearly, now that I have come to you, and your useless officers and soldiers not only did not find me, but they also did not stay by your side. If I were thinking of taking your life against you right now...... That's easy. ”

Mu Jingcheng's smile froze, and only then did he realize that none of the guards were here, and he couldn't help but shout: "What are these guards doing, how did you get this guy here." ”

"Probably because they're busy chasing my companions. Han Yun didn't see it, squatted on the desk with a big grin, looked at Mu Tong and Mu Jingcheng and said with a smile, "It is estimated that it will be difficult for them to find out for a while, it turns out that there is a night ranger who broke in here, so Lord Zhizhou should not be delusional to call someone here." ”

"What do you want to do, you little thief?!" Mu Jingcheng shouted. He was a little annoyed in his heart, he just wanted to see the child, and no one asked anyone to secretly follow him to protect him, but he didn't want this to happen.

Han Yun listened to his words, scratched his head incessantly, sighed lightly and said: "I have told Lord Zhizhou several times, we are night walkers, not some thieves, Lord Zhizhou treats them as thieves like this, and orders us to be arrested, it is too shameful to give us face." ”

"Lord Zhizhou calls us thieves like this, then, we have to really do something that only thieves do. ”

As soon as Han Yun's words fell, he suddenly stretched out his hand. However, his hand did not touch Mu Jingcheng at all, but directly grabbed Mu Tong's shoulder, and then with a force, he directly brought Mu Tong to the desk. Then, Han Yun looked at Mu Tong and chuckled, and shouted to Mu Jingcheng: "Ling Gongzi will be taken away by us, Master Mu, there will be a time later." ”

"Rat, do you dare!?" Mu Jingcheng glared at Han Yun, only to feel that his eyes were about to split. Seeing Han Yun take his child away this time made him even more angry. But Han Yun looked at him, but said as if mocking: "Don't say such things, what's the point, such a trivial matter, why don't I dare?"

Han Yun pulled Mu Jingcheng and jumped out from the windowsill again, shouting into the boundless night: "The wind is tight, huh!" At that moment, Mu Jingcheng looked at the expression on Han Yun's face, full of happiness and laughter, which was exactly the same as the strange man he imagined to be happy and revenge in the sword and rivers and lakes. And then, two more figures appeared, which were naturally Ye Tianxuan and Gao Xing, who were scattered for him to guard, and they jumped out of the Mu family with Han Yun stepping on the wall one after another, and then disappeared into the boundless darkness with their whole bodies retreating.

Mu Jingcheng looked at this scene, and his face became more and more pale. He slammed the desk hard, then shouted frantically, "Come on, come on, come on!"

"Search all the top and bottom of Xicheng for me, even if it is three feet into the ground, you must find out all these three thieves for me!!"
