The Golden Age Chapter 554: Horse whip
The rain that fell in the afternoon finally subsided at night.
Although there is a patter of rain, it is not the same as before. The rain accumulated on the roof falls down like a curtain of beads along the eaves, and many streets are also muddy.
Quniang sat in front of the window, half of the window opened, staring at the drizzle outside in a daze.
She feels that she seems to be having a dream today.
Since the first taste of the forbidden fruit with Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao will rush back from the yamen as early as possible every day. The two are lingering, knowing that the beautiful young man is immersed in the attractive tenderness of the beautiful girl. These days almost It is joyful every night, Mei Jiao Niang has been able to actively cater to the various postures of the young man from the beginning of her shyness and shame, but she is also obsessed with it.
Early in the morning today, the young man asked Mei Jiao Niang to go to the newly opened cloth shop on Linkang Street in Huaizhen Square in the afternoon to pick up the cloth. He said that he bought a new cloth and put it there. In addition, he also explained that it was in the yamen today. There are so many things, it may be late to come back.
Qiu Niang followed Qin Xiao’s instructions and rode a carriage to the cloth shop in the afternoon. She was only thinking about picking up the cloth, but she never expected that after she entered the cloth shop, she changed her body and instantly became the owner of the cloth shop. Moreover, all the land deeds that had been prepared long ago were presented in the shop, which made Mei Jiao Niang stay in the cloth house for a long time.
When I came back to my senses, I knew that all this was arranged secretly by Qin Xiao.
These days, when the two of them stayed together, they would inevitably talk privately. When Qin Xiao asked about Qiuniang’s biggest dream, Qiuniang said that he wanted to have a cloth house of her own, and she just said casually at the time. Didn't take it too seriously.
When she was in the palace, she spent a lot of time in Sicai of Shanggong Bureau. She knew silk cloth very well, and women liked exquisite silk cloth, thinking that if she could have her own cloth, it would be natural It is a matter of reason.
It's just that she never expected that Qin Xiao actually remembered that Qin Xiao actually gave it to a cloth house in just a few days.
The exquisite fabrics and satin in the cloth house made Qiuniang happy, until dark when she returned to Shaoqing Mansion, she couldn't believe it was true.
When Qin Xiao went out in the morning, he said that there are many things happening at the Yamen of Dali Temple today, and that he might come back very late, and asked Qiuniang to rest early by herself and don't have to wait.
But Qiuniang became the owner of the cloth house today. She was so excited that she naturally couldn’t sleep, and she was in bed with Qin Xiao for the past few days. She has become accustomed to falling asleep in Ailang’s arms, and Qin Xiao is not by her side. , It's impossible to fall asleep, so I just sit by the window and wait for Qin Xiao to come back.
Qin Xiao asked him to hire a few neighbourhoods from Kushui Alley to work in the mansion. Qiu Niang thought about going. She had also made time to visit Huiyifang and found a cook who could cook and two people who cleaned the courtyard. Handyman, although Qin Xiao asked her to find a few more people, she thought that one more person would cost an extra salary, but she was still reluctant. After finding three people to come to the house, she was unwilling to add one more person.
There are not many things in the house. Although there are only three hired workers, it is also very leisurely. It rained heavily today and nothing happened. So after dark, the three hired workers stopped early.
The coachman in the stable was very strange. When Qin Xiao asked Qiuniang to take the cloth, he took a carriage to go there. Although Qiuniang knew that there was a stableman in the stable, she had never spoken. He popped out, and after eating, he left quietly. Sometimes he didn't even know when he left. From start to finish, the coachman didn't say a word to other people, just like a dumb man.
Today, the coachman set the cart to send Qiuniang to the cloth village. After returning, she drove the car directly back to the stable from the backyard. From beginning to end, Qiuniang said nothing but the coachman said nothing.
The whole Shaoqing Mansion was cold and silent, with only drizzle.
Qiu Niang's eyes couldn't open a little, and she felt sleepy, but thinking that Qin Xiao might come back at any time, she barely cheered up, vaguely, saw a figure appeared in the yard, walking towards the window, Qiuniang’s pretty face showed joy, she thought she was finally waiting for Airo, got up, stood by the window, and saw the figure wearing a hoodie and a hat, walking very fast, almost trotting towards the window in the drizzle come over.
Qiu Niang suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Even though the man is wearing a quilt, his figure is obviously much stronger.
The employees in the house have already fallen asleep, and without permission, they never dared to rush to the east wing without permission.
Qiu Niang realized that something was wrong, and saw that the person who ran over was definitely not Qin Xiao, and immediately said: "Who are you?"
The man in the hat is extremely fast, like a hungry wolf rushing to the window, Qiuniang will back up, the man in the hat suddenly raised her head, the nose has been covered by a black cloth, only a pair of cold eyes leaked out, no When Qiuniang reacted, she raised her right hand, and a puff of powder in her hand spread towards Qiuniang's face.
It is too late for Qiuniang to raise her arms to stop her.
The powder splashed on Qiuniang’s face, like a face of flour, and almost instantly, Qiuniang smelled a strange scent, which only penetrated her nose, and she backed away two times. Step, looking at the man in the hat at the window, he only saw the man in the hat standing outside the window, staring at himself coldly, and did not immediately jump in from the window.
Qiu Niang wanted to shout, but after the weird scent penetrated her nose, her eyes quickly became blurred, and she was light-headed and dizzy.
She pushed to the edge of the table, stretched out her hand to support the edge of the table, trying to hold her body, but her body still fell uncontrollably, she wanted to shout, but her arms and legs were weak, just making a slight noise all over the body All of his strength seemed to have disappeared, and the night rain continued, and this faint voice could not be heard outside the courtyard at all, let alone heard by the servants in the house.
The man in the hat outside the window watched Qiuniang slumped to the ground, her eyes were cold, and soon, another two men in the hat came running from behind, one holding a bundle of thick rope in his hand, and the other holding one. A sack made of coarse hemp went to the window and saw Qiuniang who fell on the ground, and one person whispered: "This cartilage is really powerful, and the attack is so fast."
"Don't talk nonsense." The man in the hat said coldly: "Tie people up and put them in bags. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."
"Brother don't worry." Another person whispered: "There is no guardian in Shaoqing's mansion. Except for the front yard with the door open, everyone else has already fallen asleep. In this weather, no one will come here. And the fifth and sixth are staring at the front and rear doors respectively, and when there is a movement, they will send out a signal."
"Qin Xiao is still in Dali Temple and cannot come back for a while." Another person smiled triumphantly: "He killed him and never thought we would come to his house to get someone."
Big Brother Douli gave them a cold look. They didn't dare to say anything. They turned in from the window and walked to Qiuniang's side, and found that Qiuniang had been fainted by the cartilage. One opened his pocket and pointed at him. The companion said: "Hold her in."
The other person chuckled softly: "It's no wonder Qin Xiao is so fascinated by this woman that he is a little vixen, and looks really good." He was about to reach out and hug him, but he heard the big brother Dou Li outside the window whispered coldly. : "Who?"
Both of them were stunned. They looked up and saw that Brother Dou Li had already turned around, looking at the courtyard with his back to the window, as if seeing something.
Both both frowned.
They were very clear about the situation in Shaoqing Mansion. Before the action tonight, they had specially made people climb the high walls and entered the mansion to inquire about the environment, and they made sure that there was no family guardian in the mansion before they started the action.
It stands to reason that no one will come to this yard at this time. Who else did Big Brother Dou Li see?
The two abandon Qiuniang first, then the rope and sacks, and take out the hidden dagger from their bodies.
The empire imposed a knife hunting order, and Kyoto was very strict even at night. If the saber was found, the consequences would be disastrous. I signaled that this action was only hidden with a short-edged dagger, so even in If you meet people at night, you will not see that you are equipped with weapons.
Brother Dou Li is very alert.
When the two companions turned the window and entered to tie up Qiuniang, he turned around to observe the situation in the courtyard, which is also regarded as a check for the companions. He thought there would be no problem, but after turning around, he saw the details. A figure appeared in the rain.
The figure is wearing a hat, but not wearing a quilt, but with a rolled up riding whip in his right hand.
Big Brother Dou Li was a little surprised, he didn't even notice when this person appeared in the courtyard.
"Go!" The man stood in the rain, indifferent, and only threw a word.
Big Brother Dou Li also took a sharp dagger in his hand, no nonsense, rushed directly to the person, extremely fast, in the blink of an eye, he was only a few steps away from the person, and the dagger in his hand was no longer there. He pierced the man's chest mercifully.
Tonight's action is extremely secretive, it can only succeed but not fail, and must not be seen by anyone living.
Why this person suddenly appeared here, and where is it sacred, Brother Dou Li is not interested in knowing. For him, the only thing to do right now is to take this person's life without leaving a living.
Big Brother Hat made a quick shot, but the opponent's speed was faster. Before the dagger touched that person's clothes, the person had already flashed sideways. When dodge, he waved his right hand, and the horse whip in his hand was like a poisonous snake. It unfolded like a hole, and wrapped it around Big Brother Dou Li's neck accurately and swiftly.
Brother Huli missed a blow, and instantly knew that this person was never under him. When I felt a whirring sound in his ear, he turned his head and looked over. The long whip was like a snake, already wrapped around Brother Huli’s neck. Brother Dou Li was horrified. Before the long whip was tightened, he made a decisive action. He raised his arm and swung out the dagger, but he wanted to cut the whip. His self-confidence can instantly cut off the whip.
It’s just that the other party clearly saw his intentions. At the moment when Brother Douli waved his arm, the man's arm pulled violently, pulling the body of Brother Douli over, and before Brother Douli could react, he kicked his foot fiercely. On Brother Douli’s chest, Brother Douli’s body was kicked out instantly and fell heavily on the ground. The moment he landed, he felt extremely painful in his chest. The other party’s kick had obviously split one of his breastbone. The pain was almost unbearable. , Brother Dou Li was in anguish, unable to get up for a while, and was really shocked in his heart. He did not expect such a ruthless master to appear in Shaoqing's Mansion.
"There are also second-grade cultivation bases." The man held a horse whip and said lightly: "It's a pity that I can't stand a blow in front of me!"
