Rong'er didn't fall asleep. In fact, even if she wanted to sleep, she couldn't sleep peacefully.
She just doesn't understand why the behavior of this Master Xiaoxia is so different from what she imagined?
Although she is a lady, as the daughter of an official family, she has seen and heard much more widely than ordinary young ladies since she was a child, and she is even more aware of the despicableness and nastiness behind those officials who appear to be glamorous on the surface.
Rong'er's dream was to marry a handsome prodigal son who had a wealthy family and was rich in literature, but did not like fame. He never thought that one day he would sleep in the bed of a young nobleman from the capital.
This was contrary to the life she longed for, but it was not the worst outcome.
But why would Mr. Xiao Xia, who had just developed a crush on her, rather sleep on the table than come over to take a look at herself?
Could it be that the appearance that I am so proud of doesn’t even want to be seen in the other person’s eyes?
Rong'er lay on his side on the bed, his thoughts wandering, looking at the resting man through the light on the table not far away.
I don't know how long it took, but Rong'er suddenly saw the man on the table sitting up, and then walked around the building for a while. He found paper and pen from somewhere, and began to write something on the table intently.
Ronger was curious and didn't know what the other person was writing late at night, but looking at his concentration, he remembered that the other person said before going to bed that he still had things to do.
It seems that he is not making excuses, but really has something to do.
At this moment, the female thief who was sleeping suddenly woke up and burst into a cold sweat.
He secretly scolded himself for being careless, for being able to fall asleep in such a dangerous time. If this dog official took advantage of his sleep to do something to him...
The female thief quickly looked at her body and found that there were no traces of being touched by anyone else, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
The female thief also saw Xia Shang's actions and noticed what he was writing. She wondered in her heart whether she wanted to report her assassination to the court and then escort her back to the capital?
A cold wind blew in from the terrace, making the female thief shiver.
She didn't want to be escorted to the capital. Even if she was going to die, she had to die happily.
She looked at the sky and felt that it was almost five o'clock in the morning.
But apart from herself, why was there no news from her companions? She was still counting on her companions to come and rescue her.
Just as I was thinking about it, the sound of fighting came in the quiet night, coming from outside Xiaojinglou.
The female thief looked happy, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally her companion was here.
The noise downstairs was so loud that even Rong'er got up from the bed and walked to Xia Shang's side.
Xia Shang had already put down his pen, stood up and looked in the direction of the terrace.
Rong'er followed Xia Shang to the terrace. From the terrace, he could clearly see everything in the small garden.
There were many fires in Xiaojingyuan. Through the light of the fire, we could see many people fighting below, and a large number of them were Yuzhou Prefecture's garrison.
The little girl had seen so many scenes tonight that she had never seen before in her life. When she saw the fire below, her face turned pale, her body trembled and she just held Xia Shang's hand.
"Sir, are you an accomplice of the female thief? Are we in danger?"
Xia Shang was naturally not afraid of a few petty thieves, so after hearing that the female thief had accomplices, he still chose to ignore it.
Seeing that the little girl was so scared, Xia Shang let her hold her hand and whispered a few words of relief.
The fighting below was lively, the officers and soldiers had an absolute numerical advantage, and people were arriving in a steady stream. It seemed that the turmoil below would soon come to an end.
Xia Shang thought it was nothing and told Rong'er to just continue to rest.
Then he turned around and prepared to return to the table.
As soon as Xia Shang turned around, he saw a man in black in the room. He had the female thief on his back and seemed to be preparing to escape.
Rong'er screamed in fright when he saw it. Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps downstairs. It turned out that several officers and soldiers rushed up.
"Sir, there are thieves in Xiaojingyuan, please avoid them quickly."
After that, several officers and soldiers rushed towards the man in black in front of them with their weapons in hand.
The fact that this man in black appeared here silently showed that he was very capable. Xia Shang was afraid that a few officers and soldiers were no match for him, so he was preparing to help.
It can be seen that when the black-clothed man fought with the officers and soldiers, he found that this man was not as powerful as expected, but seemed a bit clumsy. It is probably that carrying the female thief on his back had a certain impact on him, and he actually fought inextricably with several officers and soldiers.
"Just hide behind me." Xia Shang took Rong'er to the corner.
Rong'er nodded obediently, like a
docile kitten.
The fight in the building didn't last long. The clumsy man in black suddenly changed his actions and fired a hidden weapon from his sleeves. Several officers and soldiers did not react and fell to the ground one after another.
The man in black was panting, and after seeing the officers and soldiers fall down, he rushed towards Xia Shang.
But for some reason, the man in black only took one step in the direction of Xia Shang, his eyes met with Xia Shang's, and suddenly there was a touch of shock in his eyes that were full of murderous intent. He was stunned for a moment, and then led the female thief from
He jumped directly from the balcony.
Xia Shang remained silent and made no move to stop him. It was not that he saw any message from the other party's eyes, but that he found a clue from the other party's hidden weapon that he might know the man in black.
The officers and soldiers were still struggling on the ground, obviously the hidden weapons were poisonous.
In Xia Shang's impression, being a policeman in this era was the most difficult thing. The purpose was just to make a living, but in the end, you might encounter a master in the martial arts world, and you would die if you were not careful.
As an expert in using poisons, I obviously cannot stand by and watch when I see several officers and soldiers lying on the ground in agony.
Xia Shang came to several officers and soldiers and found the poisonous needles sent by the other party from their bodies.
You don’t know if you don’t look, but if you look…
Xia Shang was stunned.
Didn’t the shape of the poison needle and the poison on the poison needle come from his own hands?
This kind of poisonous needle can only be filled with a unique concealed weapon designed by Xia Shang himself, and Xia Shang now has the most concealed careful concealed crossbow.
If this poisonous needle really came from my own hand, then detoxification would be very simple.
Xia Shang now carries poisons with antidotes prepared in case they are needed in case of emergencies.
All the antidotes are in the middle of Xia Shang's belt.
Xia Shang quickly took out the antidote from the compartment of his belt and gave it to several officers and soldiers.
After taking the antidote, the painful expressions of several officers and soldiers improved significantly. It didn't take long for them to stand up and thank Xia Shang repeatedly.
Xia Shang had no intention of paying attention to them. His mind was completely attracted by the poisonous needle.
His own antidote can detoxify the poison on the poison needle, which further illustrates his judgment.
Then, Xia Shang took off the concealed crossbow he carried with him and tried to load the poisonous needle fired by the man in black, but he loaded it without any obstruction.
