Xia Shang's life was mainly based on ventilation. No matter it was windy or rainy, day or night, there was always a window open. Even in the windowless hut some time ago, Xia Shang also kept the door open.
Feel comfortable.
At the beginning of the period, the people in Hero Village didn't know Xia Shang's habit and always closed the window for Xia Shang. Whenever Xia Shang saw this, he would remind others that they don't have to do this.
Over time, the servants of Hero Manor also knew Xia Shang's habits, and no one closed the windows for him anymore. Therefore, there was always a closed window in the room where Xia Shang lived.
But today was different. Not a single window in the room was open. I was thinking about something and didn't notice it last night. When I saw it today, I realized something was wrong.
Xia Shang was originally an extremely careful and meticulous person, and a few months ago, he had learned mechanism skills and hidden weapons from his masters. While he had learned the skills, Xia Shang's temperament had also become more careful.
Seeing that the window was closed, Xia Shang became suspicious. He turned around and looked carefully in the house and found that there were several signs that outsiders had come in.
The visitor was very skilled and left very few traces, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect, but he still could not escape Xia Shang's eyes.
Xia Shang couldn't guess the identity of the infiltrator, but he could vaguely feel that it was related to the magic pen. He should probably be someone from the Baiyi Sect. Because the magic pen was left behind by Xian'er, someone might have learned something from Xian'er's mouth.
The details are doubtful on my own head.
If this is the case, then you have to be careful.
The White Clothes Sect would not hesitate to take action against the imperial court for this thing. If they knew that the magic pen was on their possession, they would definitely not make it easy for them.
Now that the other party has sneaked into the house, Xia Shang has to remind him again.
So he returned to the house, took out a long parcel wrapped in white cloth from under the bed, put it on his shoulders, and then stepped out of the door.
I wonder if the floods in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have also affected the Suzhou area. Since yesterday, the heavy rain has not stopped, and the entire Suzhou seems to be soaked in a pool of water. Rainy days in winter are colder than snowy days.
There were almost no pedestrians on the street, and the long street where Yingxiongzhuang was located was empty from the street to the end.
Yingxiongzhuang bought a carriage yesterday, so there is no need to hire an outside coachman.
The rider on the bike was a servant who had just arrived at Hero Manor. Everyone called him Xiao Wang.
When Xiao Wang saw Xia Shang coming out, he hurriedly held an umbrella to protect Xia Shang from the rain: "Young Master, watch your step."
Xia Shang got on the car, but Xiao Wang noticed the white cloth package Xia Shang was carrying and was about to grab it: "Sir, the package you are carrying is a bit big and it is inconvenient. Let me help you."
Xia Shang turned aside: "No, I'll do it myself."
Xiao Wang was a little surprised, but he couldn't ask any more questions, so he said instead: "Sir, where are we going?"
"Shangshangju."
"Shangshangju?" Xiao Wang's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that the young master wanted to see the most famous brothel in Suzhou? Wouldn't he also have the opportunity to go in and pay his respects?
Thinking about it, Xiao Wang felt full of energy and wished he could drive his horse to Shang Shang Ju immediately.
Because there was no one on the street, there was only the sound of rain and the sound of horse hooves, and the ticking was clear and sweet, with a drowsy rhythm.
After passing the manor street, we turned into an alley. There were no people on either side.
Xiao Wang was probably thinking about the girls in Shang Shang Ju. He was absent-mindedly waving his riding whip and not forgetting to ask Xia Shang in the car behind him: "Sir, I heard someone say that there are no flowers at home."
Is it true that the grass outside is fragrant? I heard that all the flowers in Shang Shang Curie are so beautiful that they are endlessly beautiful. The smell... tsk tsk... only talented people like the young master can enjoy it.
"
Xia Shang didn't agree and lay in the car wanting to sleep for a little while longer.
What else did Xiao Wang want to say? He didn't want something unexpected to happen outside. He just heard Xiao Wang scream and another horse neighing. Suddenly, the carriage where Xia Shang was sitting jolted violently. Xia Shang was unprepared to be thrown to both sides and was knocked dizzy. .
"What happened?!"
Xia Shang asked, but he heard a loud bang, and then the carport above him collapsed instantly as if it had been hit by a huge boulder.
Xia Shang raised his head and saw a fiery red whip in the rain curtain like a silk curtain. It looked like a scarlet poisonous snake and was extremely scary in the rain.
This whip is the same as the whip of Sai Jiangnan Envoy. It is several meters long and has nothing special about it.
But the person who uses the whip is not a dabbler like Sai Jiangnan. He is dressed in white clothes and a white scarf, which is the same as the usual attire of the Baiyi Sect.
The carriage was smashed to pieces by the whip, and Xiao Wang had already been thrown out by the neighing horse, and fell groaning in the corner of the alley.
Xia Shang's heart sank when he saw it. He thought that if a good person didn't come, he would indeed be targeted by the White Clothes Sect.
This is a woman with an excellent figure, no appearance, and no other features except the white sect's clothing. Xia Shang has never seen a warrior who uses a whip, and he cannot guess the identity of the woman.
"Who is here?" Xia Shang asked in a low voice.
But the other party ignored him and went straight towards Xia Shang with a whip.
The power of that whip should not be underestimated. An attack that could scatter an entire carriage in an instant would not be pleasant.
He rolled awkwardly from the carriage into the rain, narrowly dodging a blow.
But the opponent still pursued him, and struck one after another. The long whip made countless raindrops in the rain, and made a crackling sound when swung.
Fortunately, Xia Shang was no longer a fledgling. He had fought against warriors many times. Even if he didn't know the martial arts moves, temporary responses were still effective.
After a series of not very beautiful but very effective dodges, Xia Shang finally got up in the rain and had a chance to fight back.
The sword came out of the body, and the sword edge swept across, blocking the opponent's whip, and then quickly stepped forward to pursue, trying to shorten the distance.
The saying that an inch is long and an inch is strong refers to a whip.
When fighting with a whip, the closer the distance, the weaker the power of the whip, and vice versa, the whip is good at using it.
Xia Shang advanced very quickly, and the masked woman in white seemed ill-prepared and retreated hastily, looking a little flustered, but her exposed eyes remained cold and unwavering.
However, when Xia Shang's only sword move was launched, the woman's cold eyes showed panic.
This seemingly unattractive swordsmanship has hidden secrets, and it almost took off her veil.
Xia Shang's attack missed, and his opponent took advantage of this opportunity to distance himself.
The woman fell on the gangster in the alley, retracted her long whip and paused her movements. There was horror and doubt in her eyes, and she also became cautious.
Xia Shang saw the other party's expression and said with a smile on his face: "You know how powerful I am, right?"
"snort!"
The response she got was indeed a cold snort. The masked woman did not give up, jumped up high and went straight to Xia Shang's head.
Xia Shang frowned. He wanted to scare the other party away, but he didn't want to give up.
I thought there would always be Chunjiao secretly protecting her on weekdays, but why didn't she show up today?
Little did they know that at this moment, Chunjiao was entangled by a woman in black, and she couldn't get away for a while. (To be continued)
