Instead of stealing the palace and the main hall, this thief went to steal the imperial hospital. What was in the imperial hospital was nothing more than some books and medicinal materials. Even if there were valuable ones, they would not be more valuable than some of the things in the palace and the main hall.
The masked man did not answer this question, but smiled coldly.
"Although I got nothing this time, you all remember that I will come back. It's best to have people guard the Taiyuan Hospital with their eyes wide open every day and night, and don't lose anything..."
After saying that, he suddenly hugged Chu Qiao's waist and jumped directly to the roof of a house. This light skill was not ordinary, and it fluttered like goose feathers.
After jumping onto the roof, the masked man suddenly let go of Chu Qiao, and then looked at her with a strange look. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran towards another roof.
He didn't kill him? He didn't hold her hostage and continue to escape, but just let her go?
Chu Qiao stood on the roof in a daze. It seemed that a thief was a thief, and there was still a difference between him and those cruel killers, who only wanted things but not their lives.
Just when Chu Qiao was standing on the roof, still in a daze, her arm was suddenly grabbed hard. She turned her head and saw that the man in brocade clothes had jumped up at some point, his eyes still cold.
"Still not going down?" He only said this, then let go of her arm, holding his sword and leaping towards the roof where the thief escaped.
Chu Qiao blinked her eyes. She didn't expect that his kung fu was so good, and he could walk on the roof rubble as if he were on the ground.
Just when Chu Qiao was marveling at his agility, she heard shouts from below to catch the thief, followed by the sounds of chaotic and noisy footsteps. Only then did she realize that she wanted to find that man for something, and she missed it again this time.
"Hey, hey, you, sir!"
Chu Qiao didn't know how to call him, so she called him several times, but he was still running, turned his head to look at her, and soon disappeared in front of her eyes.
Chu Qiao lowered her outstretched hand and sighed softly. Why did he walk so fast every time? It was so difficult to say a word to him. She turned around indifferently and raised her feet just as she was about to step out.
She went, but quickly pulled back. She found that she was standing on a high roof and could not get down.
He just asked her to go down? But how is she going to go down?
Chu Qiao carefully walked to the edge of the eaves, looked down, her heart skipped a beat, her injured leg seemed to have cramped, and she almost fell down.
"You, you let me continue like this?"
Chu Qiao repeated something stuttering, her face gradually turning pale.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Qiao's legs softened and she sat on the roof. A piece of rubble fell down and made a shattering sound. She became even more timid. She slowly held the eaves with her hands and probed her head.
Looking over, I could only see one of the big guy's feet. He hadn't woken up yet?
"Big guy, big guy..." Chu Qiao called out several times, but the big guy didn't respond.
Now the Imperial City guards have detoured to chase that person. How embarrassed would she be if she was stuck like this, calling for help? But if Eunuch Ping and the others found out that she ran out of the imperial dining room privately, she would definitely have to eat if she shouted for help.
A meal.
Looking at her legs, Chu Qiao still held back.
Sitting on the roof, Chu Qiao waited for the big man to wake up, but she was extremely depressed. Couldn't that man send her down first and then chase the thief? He wouldn't waste much time before and after, not to mention that the thief also said
Well, he didn't steal anything this time, so why should he chase after him?
Now, should he let Chu Qiao go down, or should he let her fall down?
"Do you think I'm the same as you? I'm jumping up and down, my legs are hurt, don't you know? Ruthless..."
Chu Qiao lowered her head and muttered quietly for a while. Finally, a humming sound came from below, the big man moved, and Chu Qiao immediately shouted out.
"Big guy, help me get down, I can't get down."
The big guy got up, turned around in a strange circle, grabbed his hair and said, "Sister Chunxiang, where are you?"
"Over your head, no, no, on the roof above your head, I'm here." Chu Qiao carefully moved closer to the eaves, so that the big man could see her figure.
"Sister Chunxiang, what are you doing on the roof?" The big man raised his head and looked at Chu Qiao in surprise. How did she climb up? What are you doing climbing so high?
"Where do I have the ability to do this? Hurry up and find a way to get me down." Chu Qiao said angrily. Her foot hit another piece of loose rubble. With a crash, the rubble fell down and shattered beside the big man.
The big guy was so frightened that he backed away.
"Sister Chunxiang, just wait, I'll find someone to bring the ladder over."
"Okay, hurry up, you'll be in trouble if someone finds out."
Chu Qiao carefully lay on the edge of the roof, watching the big guy trotting away, and then turned to look at the other roof. There was no one on the roof. He had long forgotten that Chu Qiao was still on the roof.
.
Soon, the big man, the little man, and several other water-carrying eunuchs came running with wooden ladders. They put the ladders on the wall and looked at her with their heads raised one by one.
Chu Qiao didn't know how she got down. When she stood on the ground, she felt dizzy. She looked up at the eaves and realized that it was so high. If she fell, she would definitely fall to her death.
"Sister Chunxiang, are we still going to my uncle's place?" The big man came up to her, looked at Chu Qiao's pale face, and asked in a low voice.
"If you can't fall to death, you still have to go, otherwise you will die the same tomorrow."
Chu Qiao patted her chest and comforted herself. It took her a long time to calm down, and then she looked forward.
Maybe everyone was paying attention to the thief, so the whole alley was quiet, and no one noticed the embarrassment of a little person like Chu Qiao.
The little man and the others were very cautious and ran back carrying the ladder. Only then did the big man whisper something that left Chu Qiao speechless.
"Sister Chunxiang, you haven't answered me yet? Why did I faint? And you, you are so high, how did you climb up?"
"Do you think my legs can climb up there? There is a thief. The thief just knocked you unconscious and took me hostage... take me up there."
Chu Qiao explained awkwardly.
"The thief is holding you hostage?"
The big guy must have thought that Chu Qiao had told a joke, so he burst out laughing. Only halfway through his laughter, Chu Qiao rolled her eyes at him, dragged her injured leg and walked forward angrily.
A little palace maid is still being held hostage? This is indeed a bit ridiculous.
The big man scratched his hair. Although he felt that Li Chunxiang had told a joke that seemed like a joke, he moved his neck and it was really uncomfortable. That's when he believed that he had been knocked unconscious. What sudden change had just occurred?
I also became cautious.
When they arrived at the door of Lao Yuchu's room, what surprised Chu Qiao and the big guy was that they didn't hear his uncle's crazy voice. The room was very quiet, as if there was no one there.
