At the hour of the sea, Wuyifang Kushui Alley was already dead.

If it were normal, Gu Qiuniang would have already fallen asleep.

But today is different.

When Gu Baiyi went out in the morning, he told Qiuniang that there might be a lot of official duties in the Yamen today, and it may not be possible to return.

Qiu Niang knows that whenever something major happens in Kyoto, the officials of the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen will stay at the Yamen, especially the officials like Gu Baiyi, who have to stay in the Yamen regardless of whether there is anything on hand. Waiting.

However, this kind of situation has not happened much. In the past two years, Gu Baiyi has almost rushed home before dark, shrinking in the study and gnawing on his precious military books.

Gu Baiyi stayed at the Yamen. It was not uncommon before. Qiuniang was alone at home and would rest early.

It's just this time it's different from before.

Qin Xiao made the people of Tsing Yi Tang run away in embarrassment twice, but the second time the people of Tsing Yi Tang directly found Kushui Alley.

The group of people knew where they lived. Although Qin Xiao was beaten and left in embarrassment, Qiuniang did not feel relieved because of this. Instead, they were worried that the people from Qingyitang would come to the door for revenge again.

If Gu Baiyi was at home, it would be better, but now there is only one person at home. If the people in Tsing Yi Tang come to the door in the middle of the night, how can a weak woman be able to deal with it?

The gate of the courtyard was broken by the people of Tsing Yi Hall, and it was impossible to repair it for a while.

In fact, the people from Tsing Yi Tang really came to the door again. It makes no difference whether there is this door or not, but in Qiu Niang's heart, it is very different. I always feel that having this door will be more practical.

Now even this door is gone, and people in the alley can see the yard directly, which makes Qiuniang very uncomfortable.

Although it is late at night, I still can't fall asleep in bed, but whenever I hear a little movement outside, this beautiful lady will tiptoe close to the window, open a gap in the cotton cloth covering the window, and look outside. Take a look at what happened.

If there is no problem, I will lie back under the quilt and put the kitchen knife by the pillow.

Five or six times like this, although it was already at the time of Hai, the neighbors in Kushui Lane had already fallen asleep, but Qiuniang turned over and over on the bed, uneasy, lest she fell asleep, the people in Qingyitang sneaked into her own In the room.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I thought that three or four fierce Tsing Yi Tang had helped the people into their room, and rushed to the bed like a wolf. These eyes were always afraid to close.

Several dog barks came from the alley.

Suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, Qiuniang suddenly became nervous.

Kushui Alley is all ordinary people, Gu Baiyi is a clerical man, and he is already considered a person of considerable status in this alley.

The horses of the empire are very expensive. It is impossible for ordinary people to own a horse, and Qiuniang knows that no one in this alley owns a horse. In the middle of the night, the sound of horses hoofs suddenly came from the alley, which is naturally very unusual.

Qiu Niang immediately reached out her hand and fetched the kitchen knife from under the pillow, got out of bed, leaned to the window, pulled the cotton cloth, stared at the yard, holding the kitchen knife in one hand.

Soon, she saw a horse appear outside the yard. She only hoped that the horse hurried over, but unfortunately things went against her wish, but the horse buckled into the yard.

The horse is completely dark and has long legs. There seems to be a person on the horse's back. Qiuniang sees this horse and feels it

Very familiar, I didn't think much about it, but saw that the man on the horseback was about to turn over and get off the horse, but he moved slowly and accidentally rolled off the horse and lay on the ground.

Qiu Niang was taken aback, and then she saw the man standing up forcibly, staggering like she was drunk.

"It's him!" Qiuniang didn't have bad eyesight, and finally recognized that the person here was Qin Xiao.

Seeing that it was Qin Xiao, Qiuniang was relieved and was about to open the door, but she suddenly thought that there was only one person in the house. Gu Baiyi was not at home, and it was really inconvenient to let a man in in the middle of the night.

She worries the most about the fat woman leaning across the door when she sees her, her big mouth is yelling everywhere, if she finds a man here in the middle of the night, tomorrow the whole alley will know that she let a man into the house in the middle of the night, and Even if a man and a widow live in the same room, even if there is nothing, a fat woman will definitely be able to make up an adultery.

The door of the house was knocked lightly, Qiuniang put on her jacket, walked behind the door with a kitchen knife, through the crack of the door, she saw Qin Xiao already sitting outside the door, knowingly asked: "Who is it?"

"Sister Qiu Niang, it's... it's me...!" Qin Xiao's voice was weak: "I'm Qin...Qin Xiao!"

"You..... Why are you here?" Qiuniang whispered: "White clothes are not at home, you...it is not convenient for me to open the door here."

Qin Xiao did not answer immediately, Qiuniang only thought he had not heard, and repeated: "I'm the only one in the house, you...it is not convenient for you to come in."

"Yeah!" Qin Xiao replied, and Qiuniang watched Qin Xiao struggling to stand up from the crack of the door and walk towards the horse, but her footsteps were vain, and she seemed to fall at any time.

Qiu Niang thought to herself that this guy didn't know where to drink, so she came here so drunk.

If you were sober, it would be drunk like this now. Hearing people say that he is drunk and courageous, if this guy gets drunk and confused, it would be a big deal.

Seeing that he was going to leave, I let my heart down, but saw Qin Xiao only walked three or four steps. Suddenly, her feet were soft and she fell to the ground. Qiuniang was shocked. After seeing Qin Xiao fell to the ground, she did not move. , But when the **** horse saw its owner fell to the ground, it immediately approached Qin Xiao, a little restless, spraying its nose.

Qiu Niang saw that Qin Xiao hadn’t moved for a long time, she felt a little weird, she finally opened the door, walked lightly, and she came to Qin Xiao’s side. Seeing Qin Xiao lying on her side, her delicate face was pale, even more. What shocked Qiuniang was that on Qin Xiao's right shoulder, there was clearly a sharp arrow submerged in it. The shaft of the arrow had been broken, but a small piece remained.

Qiu Niang hurriedly said: "Qin Xiao, what's wrong with you...?" She stretched out her hand and pushed gently on Qin Xiao's body.

Qin Xiao reluctantly opened his eyes, and looked at Qiuniang Jiaoli’s face in a daze, with a weak breath: "I...I hit an arrow. Someone...someone wants to kill me. The arrow...the arrow is poisonous!"

"Poisonous?" Qiuniang suddenly panicked: "I...I'll go to the doctor."

"The doctor can solve.....Can't solve the poison." Qin Xiao said: "I...I just take a rest...!"

Qiu Niang said anxiously: "How did that happen? You are poisoned...!" Looking around, there was a dead silence, not knowing what to do for a while, thinking of what, and hurriedly said: "I will help you in first House." At this time, he didn't care about loneliness.

She put down the kitchen knife and raised Qin Xiao carefully. Fortunately, Qin Xiao's body is thin and not heavy. Qiuniang goes on a boat all year round and she has some on her hands

Strong, helped Qin Xiao up, Qin Xiao put a hand on her neck, leaned on Qiuniang, and walked slowly into the room.

Qiu Niang is not good enough to let Qin Xiao enter her room, and she helped Qin Xiao into Gu Baiyi’s room, which was completely dark inside, but Qiuniang was very familiar with the opposite, so she helped Qin Xiao walk to the bed and sit down. Said: "Wait a minute, I'll get some water."

He helped Qin Xiao lie down first, then went out, picked up the kitchen knife, and put it in the kitchen, scooped up water with a wooden basin, returned to the house, closed the door tightly, and then brought the wooden tray into the back room. , Placed by the bed, heard Qin Xiao breathe weak, really worried, lit the oil lamp, only then found Qin Xiao closed eyes, pale face, cold sweat on his forehead.

Qiu Niang took the towel, sat on the edge of the bed, wiped Qin Xiao with cold sweat on her forehead, and whispered: "Qin Xiao, what are you doing now? How can I help you?"

Qin Xiao's consciousness was quite vague at this time. Although she heard Qiuniang talking next to him, she couldn't hear what Qiuniang said.

He was attacked in a remote alley, but he killed the giant man. The swordman was also seriously injured and escaped. The remaining archer shot Qin Xiao's shoulder with an arrow, and then quickly evacuated.

Qin Xiao didn't realize that the arrows were poisonous at first. He knew that the alley could not stay for a long time, so he rode on the Black Overlord and left quickly.

The three killers ambush and attack him, which proves that his whereabouts have been monitored.

Someone wants to kill him, who is it?

Qin Xiao's first thought was Qingyitang.

He and Tsing Yi Tang forged a death feud, and the other party is very powerful in Kyoto, and it is only natural to send someone to attack him secretly.

But Tsing Yi Tang is obviously not his only enemy in Kyoto.

Today, I made a big-hearted complaint in front of the Criminal Department’s Yamen, and eventually led to Fan Wenzheng, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, being taken into the Criminal Department. In the eyes of Fan Wenzheng’s party feathers, of course, he was the chief culprit for Fan Wenzheng’s arrest.

Fan Wen has been in the position of Shangshu in the Ministry of War for many years. There are many students and officials, and a community of interests has been formed. Now Fan Wen is being arrested. Of course, the forces behind him regard Qin Xiao as an enemy and arrange for raids on half the road. It is not impossible.

The arrow is naturally not a good experience on the body, but he can't pull it out immediately. He cut the arrow shaft with a fish intestine stab, leaving only a small piece, ready to go to a safe place to treat the wound, but riding a horse Before long, I felt dizzy and cold all over.

At that time, Qin Xiao immediately realized that the arrow of that sharp arrow must have been poisoned.

Since the other party has arranged for three assassins to attack together, and none of them are general, it has proved that the other party is definitely going to kill himself.

The archer poisons the arrow, which is a matter of course.

Qin Xiao has been wearing black soft armor close to his body, but what is terrible is that this black soft armor is like a waistcoat. It protects the chest and back, but it cannot protect the shoulders and arms. One shot happened to hit the right shoulder, which was not covered by the black soft armor.

The poison spread very quickly. Qin Xiao tried his best to stay conscious. When he arrived at Wuyi Lane, in order to prevent the guards from finding that he was hit by an arrow, he took out the roads with the spirit of attack, and the guards let them go directly. , But when he entered Wuyi Lane, Qin Xiao only felt that his whole body was like an ice cellar, and his consciousness was abnormally cold, and his consciousness became increasingly blurred. He rushed to the Gu's courtyard and wanted to dismount, but he was already weak and he just fell from his horse. Come.
