The 229th chapter is willing to take the bait
It is not difficult to say harsh words, but it is quite difficult to take action. Xuan Shaoning swears to himself in front of the bed. This is the second time he has made a vow in twenty-two years. He cannot tell anyone the first vow, including Yanzhi, who is by his side, but this second time he is not worried that others will hear it.
Chen Ming and Duan Lang also stood at the door. They didn't get close, but after looking at it, they knew what was happening in the house. Duan Lang wanted to urge him but still couldn't bear it. He still made Xuan Shaoning sad for a while. The body of the old couple would not rot in this cold winter. Someone might find it in a few days, but Xuan Shaoning could not bury them personally.
Since entering the capital, Yanzhi has never seen Xuan Shaoning smile a few times. She has become disgusted with the original envy of the prosperity of the capital. She would rather not have these vain glory. She just wants Xuan Shaoning to laugh happily, just like when she was in Mobei.
Just when Yanzhi wanted to rely on Xuan Shaoning, a slight sound came from the windowsill behind the bed. Xuan Shaoning immediately bounced from the ground like a cheetah smelling prey. With a leap, he jumped directly from the top of the bed and jumped out of the windowsill, leaving only a sentence "Duan Lang, protect Yanzhi!"
Duan Lang didn't have time to speak, he only felt a gust of wind coming from his side. There was no need to ask, Chen Ming must have chased after him. He only saw the door moving, and in an instant, only Duan Lang and Yanzhi were left in the room.
Xuan Shaoning's judgment was correct. There were people monitoring the window before, but he had been immersed in grief and the man did not make any noise. Xuan Shaoning saw the figure swaying in the alley for a moment and disappeared at the corner. He had to speed up and he would never let this person escape. Only by opening this person's mouth can he know part of the truth of this situation.
Chen Ming was worried that Xuan Shaoning would fall into the trap of the enemy when he was too impulsive, so he could only follow him closely. In order to gain a better perspective, he jumped directly onto the roof and began to chase Xuan Shaoning along various eaves. Chen Ming did not see the figure of that person, he could only chase Xuan Shaoning's back. Seeing Xuan Shaoning turning to the right at the bend in front, Chen Ming planned to jump from the eaves on one side to the roof on the other end.
Whoosh, a feather arrow shot on the eaves where Shen Ming was standing, and took a piece of gray tiles away. Then the second feather arrow shot over again. Chen Ming pulled out the soft sword that had been wrapped around his waist and bounced the feather arrow directly. Then more feather arrows shot over, and he could only jump off the eaves. As soon as he landed, he began to run along the alley. Chen Ming had completely lost the trace of Xuan Shaoning, and there were many more killers behind him. These people took ruthless action, and Chen Ming couldn't get out for a while.
After turning the corner, Xuan Shaoning finally caught up with the back. He focused all his attention on tracking, and he did not notice the attack on Chen Ming behind him. These narrow alleys were winding, which not only blocked the sight but also isolated most of the sounds.
What Xuan Shaoning thought was to return to Zhang Bo’s home with his own memory after catching up with this person.
Several night owls flew over the residential area. From its sight, they could see that Chen Ming and Xuan Shaoning were running in two different directions. They were originally quite close, but the sudden attack forced Chen Ming to change direction temporarily, so the two could only get farther and farther apart.
Night Owl? Such a less common bird should not usually appear in places like Beijing. These two night Owls were fed by people at first sight. After hearing the whistle, they immediately flew towards a high platform.
This is a pavilion standing on the bank of the inland river. It was originally a restaurant, with tables and chairs of various colors for people to eat and drink from the first to the third floor. Only on the fifth floor of the highest floor cannot be reached along the stairs in the restaurant. There are only three people on this floor. The two night owls heard the whistle coming from here. After rushing through the window, the two night owls flapping their wings and landing on one person's left and right arms respectively.
"Why did Cheng Yaojin suddenly come out halfway?" the man asked.
A young man with a scholar-like appearance but a cold-hearted look stepped forward and said, "This person was indeed not arranged by us, and I don't know where it came out?" As soon as he spoke, his identity was clear. Isn't this look and voice the only living adopted son Fang Ziqian beside Lu Yanhui at that time?
"It is because you never prepare for unexpected situations that lead to this situation. Wasn't Lu Yanhui the best example? It seems that you haven't learned the lesson from your adoptive father?"
Fang Ziqian was so scared that he hurriedly fell to the ground and apologized: "It's all my work that is not good, please..."
"Okay, it's better to do more things if you have time to say these things!" The man standing at the window spoke. He didn't want to hear any explanation from Fang Ziqian at all. Then he said, "It's still reliable to do things in Xinggang."
The third person standing in the attic was Xing Gang, who had been missing for a long time. Fang Ziqian glanced out of the corner of his eyes with dissatisfaction on his face, but he could only see his lower body. Xing Gang was standing at the junction of light and darkness. He could see his legs but could not see his face, let alone his expression.
"These are all things I should do, and these are the kindness I must repay." Xing Gang's voice was cold and dull.
The man who was playing with Ye Xiao said, "I will definitely do what I promised you. Everything is done. You will repay my kindness. You will do whatever you want. At that time, you still need to do this."
Xing Gang did not answer, but just disappeared from the attic. Fang Ziqian said, "Don't say anything, and looked out of the window to see the situation of the battle outside."
Xuan Shaoning has been chasing for a long time, and he is about to run out of this residential area when he runs forward. Outside is the bank of the inland river.
There were too many people there. Sure enough, this man turned again at the end of the last alley. This was his last turn. Xuan Shaoning soon discovered this man because they both had arrived at the end of the alley.
At the end of the alley is a towering wall. If this height is to be climbed over, it will not be difficult for both of them. However, this man gave up voluntarily and fled, he turned around and faced Xuan Shaoning directly.
"You are the one who has been monitoring us? You killed Uncle Zhang and Sister Wang!" Xuan Shaoning was breathing, and it took a lot of energy to run along the way. He was ready to fight.
The man in front of him looked very young and had a very handsome face. His chest was not as undulating as Xuan Shaoning, as if he didn't run the previous run by himself. He spoke very calmly. "Is it because I was at the window that you thought I was killing someone? If so, I can only say that Lao Cui was really looking for the wrong person. How can he see through more conspiracies with such a simple mind?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Can the bad guys admit it actively if they did something bad? Xuan Shaoning had no intention of admitting this person frankly. He exerted force with his legs, jumped up, and his fists came to the person's face. This sudden attack was already very fast, but what Xuan Shaoning's fist finally touched was the person's clothes.
"It's pretty good!" The young man was also interested. He turned around and jumped up on the wall, stretched out his hand to grab Xuan Shaoning's hair bun. Xuan Shaoning fell down on his back and kicked his legs out to the man's lower abdomen, but his toes were still rubbing his clothes by the man. After landing, the young man played with a hairband in his hand.
The bun was completely dispersed, and Xuan Shaoning knew that the move that this person had taken was not his own hairband, then he would be his life. Seeing that Xuan Shaoning was about to take action, the person hurriedly threw the hairband to him, and then ran to an alley entrance and shouted: "Stop! If you want to fight, we have time after finishing the business later! But you have to consider your companion!"
Xuan Shaoning tied his hair again. He thought of Yanzhi and Shen Ming who was following him, but Shen Ming was gone at this moment. "If you confess honestly, I will naturally not make things difficult for you!"
"Oh, make things difficult for me? There are not many people in this capital that can make things difficult for me! I am just a bait to attract you here, because someone here wants to see you!"
After saying that, the young man ran into the alley. Xuan Shaoning hurriedly followed. This alley was not long, but a moment later, Xuan Shaoning ran into a dilapidated yard. The young man stood in front of him and squeezed his eyes at Xuan Shaoning with a very playful expression.
A white-haired old man turned around slowly. Xuan Shaoning felt familiar when he saw his face, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
The old man said, "Person Xuan, we're meeting again. We've met in Chengyuan Palace before. The old slave is Eunuch Cui, the personal eunuch who is next to the late emperor."
