Chapter 51: Night Horror

After Duan Canghai entered the house, he glanced at it and saw that everyone was connected in a long line, which also changed color slightly, and then he stepped forward quickly, pulled out his knife from the sheath, and had already cut it down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The knife flashed, cutting off the arm that was stuck to Yang Ning's body, blood spurted out, Duan Canghai had already held Yang Ning's arm and quickly retreated.

From the knife to taking Yang Ning away, it was just a matter of blink of an eye, crisp and neat, bold and decisive.

After the arm was cut off, everyone fell backwards one after another, one by one, their qi was weak, their whole bodies were sore, and they couldn't get up for a while.

Yang Ning is absorbing his own energy, that energy is already getting smoother and smoother, the meridian line from the sea of qi to the dantian has been opened, but the dantian is like a fire, every time a little more energy is injected, the dantian is like adding an extra handful of firewood, and it is extremely uncomfortable, and suddenly I feel that the energy that pours into the qi sea cave is disappearing and interrupted, and it is just in time, Yang Ning let out a breath, but the whole body is already drenched in sweat.

"Shiziye, Shiziye, how are you?" Duan Canghai held Yang Ning's shoulder, and saw that Yang Ning's face was as red as a monkey's ass, and he was surprised in his heart, and said anxiously: "What is wrong with you?" ”

Yang Ning let out a few breaths, looked at Duan Canghai, came back to his senses, and said, "Someone..... Someone is going to kill me! ”

At this moment, a few more people rushed in from outside, but it was Qi Feng who led several guards to arrive, and when they saw the scene inside the house, they didn't say a word, they drew their knives one after another, and protected Yang Ning's side.

The guards of the other courtyard also barely got up at this time, their faces were pale, only the green-clothed servant was bleeding from his broken wrist, lying motionless on the ground.

"What the hell is going on?" Qi Feng clenched the knife in his hand, glanced inside the room, and stared at one of the guards in the courtyard, "Why is this happening here?" How do you keep your son safe? ”

The guards of the other courtyard also looked embarrassed at this time.

For a long time, the other courtyard has been to receive the mourning team, because of the rules, the people who can enter the courtyard to rest are nobles, and the guards of the mourning team cannot enter the courtyard, and the guards who are responsible for the internal safety of the courtyard are the guards of the other courtyard.

There are not many loyal ministers and good generals who can be buried in the Zhongling Mausoleum, and sometimes the other courtyard will not receive it once in several years, and it is quite idle to be on an errand here.

No one thought that in this courtyard, there would be an assassination, and at this moment, Qi Feng asked in a cold voice, which made the guards of the other courtyard very embarrassed.

"Qi Feng, control the assassins first!" Duan Canghai said in a deep voice: "Interrogation later." ”

Qi Feng immediately stepped forward and put a big knife against the man's neck, raised his foot and kicked it, the man turned over and lay on his back on the ground, and someone immediately screamed "ah" on the side, but it was the assassin's face was blue, his eyes were round, his eyes were cloudy, and he didn't have the slightest look, as if he was dead.

I heard footsteps outside the door, and saw that Manager Qiu had already rushed into the house and shouted, "Shizi, Shizi, what's wrong with Shizi?" Seeing Duan Canghai squatting on the ground and hugging Yang Ning, he hurriedly came over and asked, "Brother Duan, ..... is this son?" ”

Duan Canghai's expression was grim, and he said: "Manager Qiu, in the royal land, there are assassins here, and the prince was almost killed by the assassins. ”

Manager Qiu changed color and asked anxiously, "Is the prince okay?" ”

Duan Canghai said: "Heaven blesses, the son of the world is in danger." Gazing at the Assassin lying on the ground, "It seems that this Assassin has come with a mortal heart." ”

Zhao Wuxian did not look at the assassin at this time, but took a silver needle in his hand, walked to the table, first nodded on the snack in the tray, and then probed the silver needle into the teacup on the table, and when he picked up the silver needle, the silver needle was already blackened, Zhao Wuxian's eyes showed a cold light, and asked the guards of the other courtyard: "This assassin is a servant of the other courtyard?" ”

"It's not." The only guard in the other courtyard who was not sucked out of his internal strength and still retained his energy immediately said: "There are less than twenty people in the other courtyard, everyone is familiar with it, and the assassin is definitely not from the other courtyard. ”

"What's going on?" There was a person outside, disheveled, Chief Manager Qiu took a look and recognized that it was the steward of this courtyard, it was a small official of the Ministry of Rites, who had had communication and contact before, stepped forward, frowned, and said: "Steward Wu, there are assassins in the other courtyard, and our family almost encountered an accident, what do you have to say?" ”

Although Chief Manager Qiu does not have an official position, he is the chief administrator of the Jinyi Hou Mansion, and his status is not below a small official of the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Ning almost encountered an accident, so he spoke a little politely.

Steward Wu's face turned pale instantly, and he lost his voice and said, "Assassin? Rushing forward, he saw the guards of the other courtyard standing on the side one by one with their heads down, like frosted eggplants, and then saw Qi Feng squatting on the ground and checking the assassin lying on his back, his face was even more ugly, he panicked, and shouted at the guards of the other courtyard: "You guys..... How do you guard the courtyard? This Assassin ..... How did this Assassin get in? ”

Qi Feng looked up at Duan Canghai and said, "Second Brother Duan, you guessed right, the assassin has a mortal heart, he just swallowed poison and died, so we won't live." ”

"Swallowing poison and dying, I am afraid that we will ask the real culprit behind the scenes." Duan Canghai sneered: "If I guessed correctly, the person who instructed him, we should know." He added: "At least not from the Northern Han Dynasty." ”

Zhao Wushu said: "The assassin should have just wanted to poison Shizi at first, but for some reason he still did it later. ”

Qi Feng looked at Steward Wu and sneered: "Steward Wu, this courtyard is under your jurisdiction, the assassin not only entered the courtyard, but also changed into the clothes of the servants of the courtyard, and even came to the prince's room with snacks and tea, but you didn't notice it in the slightest, if this matter is known by the imperial court, I am really worried about you." ”

Steward Wu's face was no longer bloody, of course he knew that this kind of big event would never be hidden, the prince of Jinyi had a noble status, and he really wanted to die here, but he was afraid that everyone in the other courtyard would follow him for burial, even if it was just a danger, this matter would never be so easy to be good, and he was a sesame petty official, so if something went wrong, he naturally couldn't keep it.

It was inevitable to be punished afterwards, he only hoped that the punishment would be lighter, and at this time, he should show as much cooperation as possible with the attitude of the Marquis of Jinyi, and immediately ordered: "Kitchen, by the way, hurry up and go to see the kitchen." ”

The guards also knew that the stakes were high, and some of them had already rushed to the kitchen.

"This ..... This assassin is very powerful. A guard from another courtyard said with palpitations: "He has the kung fu of the evil sect, we ..... As soon as we touched him, we were drained of our strength. ”

These guards only knew that the assassin's strength was leaking, but they didn't know that the assassin was just a conductor, and those forces eventually flowed into Yang Ning's body.

"Yes, this person is very evil, we have never heard of this kung fu......!" Someone next to him immediately chimed in.

Duan Canghai asked Zhao Wuxian, "Can you see the origin of this assassin?" ”

Zhao Wuxian circled around the assassin, picked at the assassin with the tip of his knife, shook his head and said: "This kind of person specializes in assassination for a living, collecting cash to do business, there are many such assassins on the rivers and lakes, they do things neatly and very sophisticated, and they will not leave any clues." If they succeed, they will disappear from then on, and it will be difficult to find clues, and once they miss, they will often kill themselves and leave no clues. ”

Duan Canghai bowed his head slightly, and sneered: "The assassination actually stabbed our brocade-clothed son, even if it is from the sky to the sea, we must find out the real culprit behind the scenes." He instructed: "The son of the world is frightened, don't stay here, carry the body out first, and clean up the .....!" Asked Yang Ning: "Shizi, do you want to change places?" ”

Yang Ning shook his head and said, "I'..... I'm fine. ”

Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps, and the guard who checked the kitchen of the courtyard came in and said, "Lao Qiu in the kitchen was killed, and his clothes were ripped off." ”

Steward Wu said to Mr. Qiu: "It seems that the assassin infiltrated the courtyard, killed the people in the kitchen first, and then pretended to come over." ”

Manager Qiu said angrily: "How did the assassin sneak in?" This courtyard is not big, and the front and back doors are guarded, how can he sneak in? ”

Zhao Wuxian suddenly said: "This assassin first killed the people in the kitchen, and then pretended to be a servant, so he was able to avoid the eyes and ears of other people in the other courtyard, and easily found the location of the prince, obviously he knew the layout of the other courtyard well." After a pause, he said, "Even we can't easily enter the other courtyard, and naturally no one else can enter without permission on weekdays, how can the assassin be so familiar with the other courtyard?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Steward Wu's face became even more ugly, and the guards of the other courtyard also looked at each other.

"We have no collusion with the Assassins here." Of course, Steward Wu heard the words of Zhao Wuxian's words, and immediately defended: "If you don't believe it, you can review them one by one. ”

"I mean, the person who instructed the assassins must be very familiar with the layout of the other courtyards." Zhao Wuxian's face was expressionless like a cold hard stone, and he said lightly: "You are not the only people who are familiar with the layout of the other courtyard, anyone who entered the other courtyard before this may be involved with the assassins. ”

Manager Qiu bowed slightly, and said: "That's right, this matter must not be easy, to assassinate the world, bold, it is necessary to investigate in detail." ”

At that moment, everyone carried the corpse out, and someone cleaned up the house, because of such a thing, Qi Feng and Zhao Wuxian did not leave the other courtyard, and guarded outside Yang Ning's door, although it broke the rules of the other courtyard, but the situation was special, and Steward Wu naturally didn't even dare to let out a fart.

Manager Qiu and Duan Canghai helped Yang Ning sit down, seeing that Yang Ning's face was still red, and they glanced at each other, Manager Qiu asked cautiously, "Shizi, is your body still uncomfortable?" Why don't you send someone to the doctor? ”

Yang Ning shook his head and said, "Manager Qiu, you go and get busy first, I don't have any big deals, don't worry." ”

Manager Qiu nodded slightly, and then retreated, and waited for Manager Qiu to leave, Duan Canghai said softly: "Lord Shizi, are you very uncomfortable in your body?" ”

"Huh?" Yang Ning glanced at Duan Canghai, his dantian was still tumbling at this time, although the feeling of burning fire had weakened a lot, but the entire abdominal cavity was still uncomfortable, and even his heart was beating rapidly, much faster than usual.

"Your qi is unstable." Duan Canghai said in a low voice: "If I didn't guess wrong, your dantian must be very uncomfortable now." ”
