Yutai Bi

Chapter 227 Night Attack
Thinking he came too early, Du Yan stroked his forehead.Is it because he doesn't understand the style, or is Cen Sanniang still angry?He untied his cloak, went to bed with his clothes, hugged her into his arms, closed his eyes and said, "Are you really willing to part with me?"

Cen Sanniang wanted to laugh, but also wanted to bear it.After struggling lightly, Du Yansui tightened her arms, and she leaned against his chest and remained still: "I think it's strange after walking for a while. You don't need to be in such a hurry, but take the carriage in an hour." It's all hired. That's so angry. Unless, you've been lying to me before."

Having said that, I feel a little sad again.

"I didn't follow your temperament first, lest you still get angry. Put on a chasing wife for thousands of miles, you see, how much I care about you!" Du Yansui kissed her forehead and said with a light smile.

"You are lying! What are you chasing your wife for thousands of miles? This place is only a few dozen miles away from Longzhou!" Cen Sanniang muttered, "You think I am so stupid. Tell you that there are many loopholes. If you really want to let others know that I really fell into the water, just It shouldn't be arranged for Mother Fang and the others to leave with me. Packing up my luggage with great fanfare, the girl and mother-in-law serving in the inner courtyard of the Cen family are all blind? Besides, since we are crossing the river together to Jinping Mountain, Mother Fang and the others must serve closely I am not in the old house, nor on the boat. Could it be that they also fell into the water with me? Also, Hei Qi said that instead of making Danhua suspicious, it is better to let her cooperate. She is obviously a member of King Teng. You are not willing to let He knew it was a trick for the golden cicada to get out of its shell. Also, Danhua disappeared as soon as I arrived in Longzhou. When I came back from the palace today, she was not there yet. Why is she with you all of a sudden?" Cen Sanniang hummed , don't believe it at all.

Du Yansui looked down at her, clicked his tongue a few times, and kissed her fiercely: "Such a smart lady, how can I be willing to let go... Tell me, what else do you see?"

Cen Sanniang tugged at his skirt and said, "You were wearing a green arrow sleeve shirt, and you entered the door with a sword. You took off your cloak, and took a small crossbow from your waist and put it on the table. You don't take off your clothes when you go to bed. It's nothing, you took off your clothes and rushed over! Right?"

"Kiss again, smart!" Du Yansui took the opportunity to take another sip.

Cen Sanniang became nervous and wanted to sit up with her body supported.Du Yansui hugged her tightly, and said softly, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"Sleep in peace. Let me rest for a while. Leave the outside affairs to King Teng. I just need to protect you. Don't worry about Mother Fang and the others. Hei Qi is here." Du Yansui said wearily.

What happened?What news did Danhua bring when he appeared in the old house today?Why did you rush to send a few of you away?Why stage a scene of the bow falling into the water?Did Du Yansui come here alone?Cen Sanniang couldn't sleep, and she didn't want to tire him anymore, so she listened with her ears open.

As the night gradually deepened, Du Yansui began to snore lightly.Cen Sanniang yawned and fell asleep next to him.

A half-moon hangs high in the sky, and the shallow clouds are pushed by the wind, slowly drifting past.

The two-foot-high red lanterns under the eaves have been extinguished, and under the moonlight, you can vaguely see the big ink dripping characters on it: Yuelai Inn.

The town is small, and the houses are built along the official road that passes through the town.The two- to three-story wooden buildings are lined up like a winding dragon.Occasionally a few dogs barking can be heard.

Neighbors are separated by wind and fire walls.At this time, the clouds drifted past the half moon, leaking the clear moonlight.Dozens of men in black were silently lying beside the wind and fire wall separating Yuelai Inn from its neighbors.

The inn is a back-shaped building with a patio in the middle.Behind the yard is the backyard stables kitchen.The fire on the stove was sealed off early.The shopkeeper's waiter and the odd jobs are all asleep.The guests also turned off the lights early.

At this time, the sound of "Tuk Tuk" bamboo clapper came from the distance of the long street, and the watchman in the town shouted leisurely: "The weather is dry and dry, be careful with the fire and candles. In front of the stove and behind the stove, there are piles of ashes among the firewood. Take a closer look." I!"

The bamboo clapper sounded "Tuk Tuk Tuk" three times in a row, and it was midnight.The half moon has moved overhead.

It seems to have heard the watchman's reminder.A small lantern was lit up in the backyard. Someone picked up the lantern and patrolled around, then walked slowly to the outside of the guest room, stopped in one place and swayed back and forth.Then leisurely went back to the backyard.

The man in black who was crawling on the top of the wall turned around and said quietly to the people behind him: "The three maidservants lived in one room, and the guard was still sleeping in the car. Du Yan Sui rested in his wife's room. No Variety."

The man in black behind him pulled out the long knife in his hand and ordered in a low voice: "Go!"

The leader and the eight others stayed on the lookout, took off the longbow on their backs, and aimed at the inn condescendingly.

The rest of the people slid quietly into the yard along the ropes tied on the ridge, their movements were as light as civet cats, without making any sound.In an instant, he came to the outside of the guest room where the lantern used to stay.

The leader made a gesture.Several people were facing outward and holding long knives on guard.The two crouched under the window.The two leaned against the door for protection, and one of them took a porcelain bottle from his purse, poured oil along the doorpost, and then poured it toward the bolt.Only then did he pull a dagger out of his boot and lightly penetrate the crack of the door to pull the latch.

The door was pushed open silently.The man in black was not in a hurry to go in, and took out another bamboo tube to blow smoke into it.After waiting for half a cup of tea and listening to the movement, he made a gesture.Men in black outside the door filed in.

The last one turned around and gently closed the door.He suddenly heard the swishing sound of strong wind piercing the air, and was startled.At this moment, he was pressing on the door with both hands, subconsciously wanting to open the door, but his body was pressed down on the door by a huge force, and several crossbow arrows had penetrated his body, nailing him firmly to the door. on the door panel.He wanted to shout, but there was a gurgling sound in his throat, and the gushing blood foam swallowed all his voice.

The same suite layout, a row of guards holding crossbows stood against the wall in the inner room, and the corpses of men in black lay scattered on the ground.The leading guard gestured.The guards took off their outer clothes one after another, revealing the black night clothes inside.Put down the crossbow, and changed the weapon of the man in black on the ground.The two carried two sacks from the corner.

A guard pulled out the arrow from the man in black nailed to the door, dragged him aside, and opened the door.

A group of people came out carrying two sacks and looked up into the sky.The leader waved his hand, several ropes were thrown down again, and the guards climbed the ropes to the roof.

Then hang the sack up with a rope.

"Du Yansui and his wife are not dead, are they? The master wants to live!" the leader asked worriedly.

A long knife rested on his neck, the leader narrowed his eyes, suffered a heavy blow to his neck, and was knocked out.

At the same time, the eight archers didn't even hum, and their necks were wiped in an instant.

The guards flexibly opened the sack, took out the sack from inside, packed the corpse neatly, and cleaned the roof.Carrying the living leader back to the inn, he entered the backyard.

After a stick of incense, the gate of the backyard was opened, and the flatbed cart pulled by mules, piled high with straw, drove out of the town.

"Tuk Tuk! Tuk Tuk!" There was a light knock on the door.

Cen Sanniang was awakened immediately.

"Shh! It's Hei Qi." Du Yansui got out of bed, went to the outside room and opened the door, said something to Hei Qi, then turned back.Seeing Cen Sanniang's eyes widened and her face full of nervousness, she smiled at her: "Want to watch a play?"

Cen Sanniang nodded vigorously.

Du Yansui narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "I'll take you to a good show and tell you what happened today. Don't be angry with me, okay?"

Cen Sanniang was already tickled by him, she nodded repeatedly: "Okay."

"Hurry up and put on your clothes!"

Cen Sanniang quickly put on her clothes.The hair is directly braided and tied.

Du Yansui tied her cloak, held her hand and said with a smile, "Like a child, not like the wife of the Duke's Mansion."

The two went out the door and went straight to the backyard.

Du Yansui helped her get on the horse, sat behind her, and told Hei Qi: "Take care of Mother Fang."

Black Seven nodded.

Du Yansui hugged Cen Sanniang and ran out of the back door of the inn.

The sound of horseshoes stepping on the bluestone path was especially loud in the silent night.The half-moon poked its head out of the clouds again.The small town of Uva has white walls, and the shadows of mountains in the distance are hazy.

Cen Sanniang nestled in Du Yansui's arms, feeling that his arms were strong and his chest was warm, and she felt ready to write poetry.

"After being bored for so long, what good show are you watching?" Cen Sanniang asked him softly.

However, as the horse galloped, Du Yansui spoke as if he was holding a pen to write horizontally, his hands trembled twice, and there were twists and turns: "Naturally, it's a good show...it's very interesting...we must let you play the leading role..."

Cen Sanniang didn't understand yet, the horse had already rushed out of the town.I saw a carriage parked beside the official road.There were a dozen or so people wearing black night clothes and wearing black scarves.

Du Yansui stopped his horse, reached out and hugged Cen Sanniang down.

Someone stepped forward and saluted, "I have wronged the general and madam."

Du Yansui didn't answer, but just saluted with fists cupped, and helped Cen Sanniang into the carriage.

As soon as the two got into the carriage, the carriage drove up.

Du Yansui then smiled and said: "Someone wanted to rob us, so he did it. Send us to the master's family right now. Sanniang, we have to pretend to be in the mist for a while. Are you afraid?"

Since he said that the arrangements were well-organized, Cen Sanniang was naturally not afraid, and asked him curiously: "But what did Danhua come to look for you this afternoon?"

Du Yansui didn't hide from her: "Let those people come into the city to trouble us in the old house, maybe a few guards and servants will die. The old house has a lot of people talking, and things can't be covered up. Longzhou is King Teng There was a murder case in the city, and he had no choice but to pursue it. It just happened to let you vent your anger and leave alone. I will come after you alone. The people who came here only said that there was only Hei Qi and one guard in the town, and it was easier than in Longzhou. Let's Also convenient."

Cen Sanniang asked, "Who wants to rob and kill us?"

But Du Yansui shook his head: "I really don't know about that. Danhua only knew that rumors spread about the knight-errants in the rivers and lakes, and someone hired them with a lot of money. They said that many foreigners came to the city recently. Unexpectedly, they only arrived tonight In the town, I really found it."
