Cheng Dalei held the cup with both hands and lowered his head to take a sip of hot tea. The most terrifying enemy is always the enemy you cannot understand. If Nie Yinniang was a witch who knew magic, Cheng Dalei would not be surprised at all.
Ah Xi's brain is no longer enough. Even though Cheng Dalei is usually a bit strange, today it was indeed a bit too strange.
"Is this woman very important to the head of the family?" Ah Xi asked seriously.
"Of course it's important." Cheng Dalei sighed: "So you must take it seriously and never be careless."
Ah Xi nodded and felt that he understood. Indeed, with the master's ability, there are not many people in the world who can hurt him. The only person who can pose a threat to the master is a woman, and she must be a powerful person.
Woman. No wonder the boss is acting strange these days. It turns out he is lovesick.
"Don't worry, Boss. No matter who she is, I will definitely find her and bring her to the Boss." Ah Xi promised, patting her chest.
"No, don't." Cheng Dalei was shocked, what if Nie Yinniang knew something like the ten-step killing sword and killed him with one sword?
"This..." Ah Xi, who had just felt somewhat understood, was now confused again: "I don't know why?"
Cheng Dalei paused. It seemed that it was difficult to confirm the identity of Nie Yinniang without identifying it himself. He sighed and said: "Forget it, if you think it's suspicious, just send it to me, but you must be careful."
"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."
Ah Xi thought to himself, how could the lady he liked get into trouble under his command? He must be taking it seriously. He left the City Lord's Mansion and immediately called everyone from the Xizi team together for a meeting. He just said that the boss liked someone.
Mysterious woman, now the boss has assigned this task to the Xizi team. Everyone must complete this task and help the boss find this woman.
After that, the news spread. It was said that Cheng Dalei was lovesick because of a woman, so he never left the house. Ru Heshen, Xu Shenji and others also came to visit Cheng Dalei and said, "A real man must aspire to a better life."
"Thousands of miles away, don't wear down your heart for a woman" and the like.
Cheng Dalei was confused when he heard this, but later he finally understood what was going on. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and called Ah Xi over to give him a good scolding. Only then did the rumors in the village subside.
But the Xizi team did start an interrogation at the gate of the city. No matter how old or weak they were, they had to carefully check the details of any woman. Because Cheng Dalei was worried that Nie Yinniang knew some disguise skills, so he checked very carefully. Especially single women.
, you must be accompanied by someone you know well before you can enter the city.
On this day, a woman came along the long road. She was wearing linen and was dusty all the way. She stopped when she was approaching the gate of Toad City and looked towards the distant gate.
I saw an endless stream of people coming in and out of the city. It was easy for people in the city to get out, but it was much more difficult for people outside the city to come in. Common people living outside the city would inevitably go to the city to buy some daily necessities.
, or pick up straw sandals, side dishes and other things to sell in the city. Now when entering the city, you have to be carefully interrogated by the guards for a long time.
The woman did not continue walking forward, but turned around and left.
At night, the gates of Toad City have been closed. There are no entertainment activities in this era. The city and outside are quiet. Occasionally, people light lamps, which is very rare.
Above the city gate, there were guards patrolling with lanterns coming and going. After Cheng Dalei's "retreat", the security on the city wall was also strengthened.
The patrolling guard didn't know that there was a dark shadow under the city wall. She stood under the wall and glanced upward, probably to estimate the height. Then she jumped up slightly, climbed onto the city wall with her whole body, and then borrowed another
With a quick leap, he was three to five steps higher.
If Bai Yuanfei saw this scene, he would probably be shocked. He also climbed Liangzhou City at night, but he could never be as light as this woman.
She is like a solitary swallow in the night, with wings like two wings, flying through the air without making any sound.
As the two groups of guards passed each other, the woman flew lightly and jumped into the city. She turned around in the air and landed on the roof of a house.
She raised her head slightly and used her eyes to identify the location of the City Lord's Mansion. In this era, most cities have similar architectural layouts. The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the city, and Toad City is no exception.
There are also patrolling guards in the city, with one sentry every five steps and one post every ten steps. This shows that Cheng Dalei cares about his own safety.
But when the woman walked on the roof and stepped on the tiles, there was no movement at all. The patrolling guards were on guard on the street, but they did not know that anyone was walking above them.
Without knowing it, she had moved into the City Lord's Mansion, and what happened next made her a little embarrassed. She could find the City Lord's Mansion immediately, but she didn't necessarily know which room Cheng Dalei lived in.
At this time, two vicious dogs in the yard under the roof suddenly barked wildly. The woman was startled, grabbed a piece of tile, crushed it, and popped it out with two fingers. The two vicious dogs immediately fell silent.
In order to ensure his own safety, Cheng Dalei raised two dogs in the yard where he lived. Nie Yinniang did not make any sound, and she could be said to be unnoticed. However, the smell on her body could not be concealed, and she was still attracted by these two evil dogs.
The dog discovered it.
Although she acted quickly and got rid of the two vicious dogs immediately, she also understood that she might not be able to accomplish what she wanted to do today. She jumped up from the roof, and several leaping bodies disappeared into the night.
In the house, Cheng Dalei was sleeping with a sword in his hand. He was startled by the barking of dogs outside the window. Cheng Dalei suddenly sat up, the hair on his body stood up, and his sword drew a line.
"She's already here."
The next day, Ah Xi stood in Cheng Dalei's room, her head wanting to droop to the ground.
"Master, I have led people to investigate. The thief must have climbed over from the city wall. Marks of being pierced by sharp weapons were found on the city wall. Then the thief sneaked into the city lord's mansion."
Ah Xi really felt a little embarrassed. He also felt the same way as Zhang Fei, who was in charge of the security work last night. Cheng Dalei had warned them in advance to strengthen their defense, but in the end, the thieves came to the city lord without anyone noticing.
Mansion.
If it weren't for those two dogs, I'm afraid no one would know if the other party really killed Cheng Dalei. In this way, Xi Zi Team and Zhang Zi Jun might as well be two dogs.
"Okay, okay, our enemies cannot be treated with common sense, and you cannot be blamed for what happened this time." Cheng Dalei reassured: "How did those two dogs die?"
"Those who were hit to death by tiles had their skulls smashed and the tiles were still stuck in their heads."
