"I can't sleep, so I went out for a walk. I'll be back in a while." After soothing Yinzhen, Ling Ruo opened the door and walked out. Today, Chen Shu was watching the night, and he didn't stay lazy. He moved a stool and sat under the eaves.
, when he saw Ling Ruo coming out, his expression changed slightly and became calm again. He stood up and gave Qian'er a blow and said with concern: "Master, why are you coming out so late? The wind is still a bit cold outside!"
"It's okay." Ling Ruo pulled the clothes on her body, glanced at the seemingly normal surroundings and said, "Is everything okay?"
"Everything is fine." Chen Shu glanced at Ling Ruo carefully, "Master, do you have any orders?"
Ling Ruo looked at it for a long time and found that apart from the lack of sound, there was no other abnormality around him. He said, "I always feel that there is something strange tonight. Look carefully. Don't let anything happen. The Fourth Master is also resting inside.
"
"Hey!" Chen Shu lowered his head, his expression hidden in the shadows was a little strange, but it was a pity that Ling Ruo had turned around at that time and had not seen it.
After confirming that Ling Ruo had returned to the house, Chen Shu looked around to make sure that no one was there and then hurried to the courtyard and opened the door that was closed at night. There was a thin figure standing outside.
"Why did it take so long to open the door?" Seeing Chen Shu come out, the figure asked immediately. His voice was hoarse and harsh, like a razor blade scraping across an iron pot. It was very harsh. Moreover, his accent sounded very awkward, not like that of the Central Plains.
people.
When facing this person, Chen Shu was very frightened and said with a smile, "Mr. Luo, please forgive me. The woman came out just now, so I was delayed for a while."
After Luo Lao snorted softly, he raised his right hand. There was no moonlight at this time, so he couldn't see clearly what he was holding. However, after seeing this, the fear on Chen Shu's face deepened, as if he was going to kill him.
His life is average.
"Open the door wider and let my babies in." As he said that, Mr. Luo brought the thing in his hand to his lips. Just as he was about to make a move, Chen Shu quickly grabbed him and said in panic: "Mr. Luo,
I'm afraid today's matter will be postponed, and they...can't go in."
"What did you say?" Mr. Luo's face suddenly became ugly, and he scolded: "You are the ones who said we would do it tonight, and you are the ones who said we couldn't do it tonight. Do you think that I am easy to bully?
"
"Old Luo, calm down." Chen Shu hurriedly reassured him. He did not dare to offend this strange old man, otherwise his life would be in danger at any time. "How dare I play tricks on you? The prince is also in there tonight. If these wire snakes get in,
If the prince is also bitten, the trouble will be big. This slave’s life is worthless, and if it’s gone, it’s gone. I’m afraid that it will involve you, Mr. Luo!”
Although Mr. Luo doesn't care much about court laws, he is unwilling to risk the threat of being arrested at sea to murder a current prince. The reason why he appears here is because someone paid him a lot of money to get rid of a prince.
Woman, no matter what kind of person you use money to deal with, your life is much more valuable than those two pieces of silver.
Just as he was about to speak, a figure hurriedly came towards him. Because he was walking too fast, he was out of breath. After his breathing became more stable, he said to Mr. Luo: "Master has a destiny. Your Majesty, please rest and think."
Ju, you must not hurt the prince in the slightest."
Because Yinzhen came to Jingsiju temporarily and had not notified anyone before, that person did not know that Yinzhen was here, and as soon as he learned about it, he immediately sent someone to stop him.
"So, tonight's trip was in vain?" Mr. Luo's face was very ugly. He had been preparing carefully for so long, but was stopped temporarily. No one would feel better, not to mention he still had so much.
Baby needs comfort.
The visitor looked at Mr. Luo's displeased expression and showed a strange smile, "Although the original plan failed, the master has other instructions for Mr. Luo. No need to kill people, the money will be paid. How about it, is Mr. Luo interested?"
Mr. Luo stared at him closely, and his meaning was self-evident. The visitor came to him and whispered a few words in his ear. Following his words, Mr. Luo smiled sinisterly and twirled the few beards left on his chin.
The person who watched him answer said: "Yes, I'll do as you say, but... your temporary change of plan is inconsistent with the rules. I want to add this amount of money." He stretched out a hand, and his five fingers were vaguely in the dark night.
Arguable.
The greedy old fox wants to add another five hundred taels even though he doesn't need to kill anymore. It's really hateful.
The visitor cursed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he was smiling, "Don't worry, Mr. Luo, as long as the matter is done, I can give you as much money as you want!" Then he said to Chen Shu: "If you cooperate with Mr. Luo, your benefits will be indispensable for the master.
.”
"I know." Chen Shu quickly agreed. As he bowed his head, the visitor quickly left without leaving any trace.
"Hurry up and open the door wider to let my baby in." Thinking of the money in vain, Mr. Luo moved a little faster.
After Chen Shu followed the instructions and opened the door a little, he quickly ran back to his original place in order to avoid being discovered that he was not suspicious. As for Mr. Luo, since they said they would not kill anyone, he naturally had nothing to worry about.
The moon poked half of its face out of the dark clouds covering the sky. Through the moonlight, you could vaguely see what Mr. Luo was holding in his right hand. He saw that Mr. Luo put the bamboo whistle to his mouth and blew gently.
Immediately there was a rustling sound under his feet, as if something was swimming by.
Mr. Luo smiled sinisterly, and after blowing the bamboo whistle two more times, the sound went through the courtyard door and went inside. As for himself, he was hiding in an inconspicuous corner. He always commanded with his voice.
It doesn't matter whether those babies are there or not.
Ling Ruo returned to bed. After lying down for a while, she heard several more whistles. This time she was definitely not dreaming, because she had never fallen asleep at all. Why did such a sound appear?
Normally, Ling Ruo might not have cared so much, but tonight she always felt that something was going on, and she was very uneasy. Even the one in her belly was not stable. From time to time, she could feel him moving in her belly, like a little turtle that kept swimming.
Average fish.
Before she could call someone, there were several knocks on the door, which also woke up Yinzhen. He turned over and said displeasedly: "Who knocked on the door?"
Chen Shu's trembling voice came from outside the door, "Prince Qi, something happened... outside. There are... a lot of snakes!"
Snake?! Hearing this word, Yinzhen looked stern. He immediately opened his eyes, turned over and landed on the ground. Without putting on his clothes, he took off his shoes and strode over to open the door. Ling Ruo followed closely behind.
Outside, Chen Shu's face looked like a dead person. When he saw Yinzhen and the others coming out, he hurriedly led them out. When they arrived at the main hall, even though they had heard Chen Shu talk about snakes, they were still severely frightened when they saw them.
One jump.
Because there is a night vigil in the main hall, lanterns and candles are lit. You can see clearly at a glance that the long four-sided carved door is half open as Ling Ruo saw just now. But at this moment, there are many thin black lines on the ground.
Black wire snakes were swimming densely across the knee-high vermilion threshold and heading inside. Each one was black with a blue tint. It was obvious that they were as poisonous as they were during the day.
This piece of wire snakes, at least hundreds of them, looked very eye-catching. Ling Ruo couldn't help but take a few steps back. Although Yinzhen stood still, his face turned pale.
The only good thing is that these wire snakes did not move forward after swimming across the threshold, but stopped there and raised their tiny snake heads to swallow bright red snake messages.
