C416 Close

Until Hai Shi (21 - 23). Only then did Changxu return to his original alley.

After checking for a while and confirming that there were no abnormalities, he climbed up the wall.

The yard was very small and quiet. He could hear the rustling of leaves in the wind. Not a single room lit up.

With a light leap, he landed in the yard.

Every step he took was very light and slow. This family was definitely not simple.

Fortunately, the courtyard was not big. There were only three rooms.

The windows were always made of paper, and with a poke of his finger, it broke. It was better for a wealthy family to use a window veil, which was not easy to break.

In the first two rooms, there were a few people sleeping separately. There was no smell of medicine in the room, so they were sure that it was not the sick girl that the old woman had mentioned.

Their last hope was in the third room.

This time, Yuan Zhen directly opened the door and walked in. The room was very warm, and there was golden charcoal burning at the entrance. The room was filled with the thick smell of medicine.

How could such a farmer afford such expensive golden charcoal?

He thought about burning the fire piston and relying on the weak light of the fire, he slowly walked to the bed. Just as he was about to see the person on the bed, there was suddenly a sound at the door.

Yuan Zhen panicked for a moment, extinguished the fire, and hid at the end of the bed.

With a "kacha" sound, the door was gently opened and closed again.

With this strength, it must not be the owner of this courtyard. Yuan Zhen was curious who else would come and look for him. He leaned his head to the side to take a look.

The man did the same thing as him. He came to the bed. When the man was about to walk closer, there was movement at the door again.

However, this time, his footsteps were not light. Instead, it was very heavy. Every movement was very rough and could make a very loud sound.

That person looked around the room and hid at the tail of the bed.

It was not that he preferred the tail of the bed, but in this room, other than a bed, there was nothing else that could be arranged. There was only a relatively hidden place at the end of the bed.

When Yuan Zhen knew what that person was trying to do, he hid in the corner of the wall. Fortunately, there were two people hiding at the end of the bed.

That person did not touch Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still stuck his entire body to the wall.

The man who came in fiddled with the charcoal fire. The charcoal was almost finished. He turned around and left. After a while, he entered the room and sped up the charcoal. He used the fan to fan the wind to make the charcoal burn faster.

Not long after, the person who came in slowly walked towards the bed and lit the candle at the bedside.

The room lit up. Yuan Zhen was still in the shadows. Half of the person's body was illuminated. He felt that something was not right and slowly moved his feet backwards.

Yuan Zhen became more and more shocked. He could not retreat anymore.

As expected, the man ran into Yuan Zhen. At that second, the man instinctively reacted and called out.

He took a few steps forward and saw something warm behind him.

Both of them covered their faces, only revealing their eyes. For a moment, they couldn't recognize it either.

And now wasn't the time to be busy recognizing people.

The one who came in was a strong man. When he saw the man in black at the end of the bed, he couldn't help but feel surprised. In an instant, his eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Who are you?" The man asked and a dagger appeared in his hand.

... ""

There was a moment of silence. The exposed person looked at Yuan Zhen, who was making gestures at the foot of the bed. He frowned, pointed at the man's back, and was about to go out the window.

The man was not fooled. He just stared at the man.

He could only watch the man go out.

Yuan Zhen widened his eyes. How could this be?

The man did not move. His face was like the end of the bed. "Do you still want to continue hiding?"

Yuan Zhen slowly walked out and looked at the man solemnly. His voice was very loud. "There's someone behind you!"

The man did not even blink. He slowly walked towards where Yuan Zhen was.

"No way. If you don't hit him, do you want to hit me?" Yuan Zhen felt that he had been treated unfairly. He was feeling indignant. The window was very close to Yuan Zhen, and he was about to turn around and escape.

Sounds of fighting could be heard from outside, and he had no choice but to chase after them.

Since that was the case, then let's fight. Who's afraid of who?

However, Yuan Zhen did not have a weapon, and his body was not as big as a man's. He could not continue fighting, so he had to retreat first.

But before he retreated, he had to confirm who the person on the bed was.

The man straightened his face, raised his dagger, and was about to stab him.

Yuan Zhen took a step with his left foot, tilted his body, and dodged.

The two of them switched positions. Yuan Zhen stood by the bed, thinking of a chance to confirm the identity of the person on the bed. Before he could see the face, the curtain of the bed fell.

The blanket covered the entire bed. Not to mention the face, the color of the blanket could not be seen.

Yuan Zhen was about to lift it up when the man opened his hand.

He pulled the dagger out of the bed curtain and placed it on the bed. He crossed his hands and leaned forward. The blade of the dagger sliced through Yuan Zhen's chest!

Yuan Zhen barely dodged it. After two moves, Yuan Zhen knew he could not beat the man in front of him.

He tried again, but he could not get close to the bed, let alone open the curtain.

He could not beat him, so he had to leave.

He didn't want to fight, so he quickly ran out of the room.

Yuan Zhen saw that the first person who ran out was surrounded by four or five people, so he didn't think much about it. He directly ran to a place where there was no one else.

Just as he climbed up the wall, he heard that person shout, "Yuan Zhen! Get lost!"

That was Miao Yingyu's voice. Yuan Zhen was stunned for a while and then went back.

It was still very tiring for two people to fight four or five people.

The two did not have time to talk and faced those people with their backs to each other.

"It's really useless."

Someone on the roof suddenly spoke.

Yuan Zhen looked up and saw Bai Ming. He was a little angry in his heart. "Qing is in the room. Quickly go and see! What are you still doing?! Take a look at the scenery? "

When Bai Ming heard Mu Ruqing in the room, he jumped down. He ignored the two of them and went into the room.

The man was still standing in front of the bed. When he saw Bai Ming, he was very disdainful. "If you don't want to die, then get out!"

Bai Ming sneered and did not speak. He held the military knife and rushed towards the man.

The man raised his head and prepared to block his attack. He didn't expect Bai Ming to change his attack the moment he got close to him.

A fatal blow. The man died before he could figure out Bai Ming's attack.

He opened the curtains and saw that the person lying on the bed was not Mu Ruqing.

Bai Ming was extremely disappointed and walked out of the room.

Seeing that the person was still fighting, his voice was very penetrating. "Where did the person go?! I can spare your lives if I tell you!"

When those people heard someone talking behind them, only two of them turned around and rushed towards Bai Ming.

Similarly, in just a few moves, the two of them fell to the ground and died.

Yuan Zhen and Miao Yingyu were both lightly injured. Looking at the devil-like Bai Ming, they couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, they weren't on the same level. They couldn't beat him.

While they were in a daze, Bai Ming finished off the remaining people.

Yuan Zhen looked at the dead bodies on the ground and felt somewhat helpless. "You killed them all. How can we investigate Qing's whereabouts? Big Sect Leader, you should be very smart. Why can't you think of this? "

"Idiot. Do you think they can delay us like this and tell us Hongrao's whereabouts?" Bai Ming's voice was very cold, so cold that it made people shiver.

Miao Yingyu pulled Yuan Zhen's arm, signaling him not to fight Bai Ming.

Only then did Yuan Zhen remember this. He shook Miao Yingyu's hand away and scolded, "And you, what are you doing here!? Didn't you know it was very dangerous? If something goes wrong, who will be responsible!?"

"I will be responsible for it myself!" Miao Yingyu felt an unspeakable grievance in her heart. She shook Bai Ming's hand away and left.
