The twilight became heavier and heavier, and darkness finally enveloped the earth. People who had been busy for a day fell asleep one after another, and some creatures that foraged at night sneaked into the darkness to get closer to their prey.
Zhujiadian is backed by Daxi. Although it is cool during the day, it gets a bit cold at night.
As soon as night fell, the lights in the backyard were turned off and plunged into darkness. There was only a faint light from the front hall, and through the reed curtains one could see a dozen big men gathered around a fire to ward off the cold.
The red fire shone on the big man's face, making him look like a group of wolves squatting on their prey, making him look particularly terrifying.
The waiter who served everyone during the day was among them, and he was already drowsy.
Zhu Yi poked the waiter who was about to fall asleep next to him and said: "Be energetic, be careful when the second master is here, he will take care of you."
The waiter opened his eyes and saw that most of the people next to him were asleep, and said impatiently: "I'm afraid the second master won't come until midnight. Zhu Yi, you don't have to open your eyes so wide. Just take a nap. Maybe in the middle of the night." There is work to do.¡±
"We are all asleep. What if the people behind us leave?"
"I went to the backyard for a walk just now, but they all fell asleep and wouldn't leave. If you're worried, just listen and I'll take a nap."
Zhu Yi looked a little sleepy looking at the swaying vigilantes, but just for the reward, he gritted his teeth and braced himself to listen to the goings on around him.
After finally staying up until midnight, Zhu Yi felt that his eyelids were so heavy that he could hardly lift them up. He looked at his companions who were already asleep, but no one spoke, so he had to stand up and walk outside the store.
As soon as the cold night wind blew, Zhu Yi suddenly sobered up a lot.
Zhu Yi stretched out, stood up, and was about to go back.
Suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the official road. I quickly cheered up and said in a low voice: "The earth shakes the high hills, and the Western Mountains are as beautiful as ever."
?? came from the darkness: "The door faces the sea, and the water of the Sanhe River flows for thousands of years."
Zhu Yi heard that the cut was facing him, and it was the second master Zhu Hu who came up to meet the leader, and he quickly bowed to say hello.
Zhu Hu glanced at Zhu Yi and said, "Is the sheep in there?"
"As soon as night fell, they fell asleep. The little one stared at them all night and felt a little sleepy, so he came out to wake up."
"Well done, I'll give you an extra reward when you're done."
Zhu Yi immediately became energetic after hearing this, and said happily: "Thank you, Second Master, for the reward."
Zhu Hu said: "Have you looked at their baggage? Do you think they have any property? Don't let the second master go in vain."
Zhu Yi caught Zhu Hu's sharp eyes and said quickly: "They are carrying the baggage with them, and we have no chance to move it. However, there is a young man in the 17th and 18th years who is wearing silk and satin, and the horse he rides is very handsome. It should be a fat sheep. Stay here. At that time, there happened to be no meat in the store, and they wanted to buy Xiaoxiao chicken. I tried it and asked them to buy it with their own money. Unexpectedly, they actually agreed, and they must have a lot of money. "
"In that case, it's definitely a fat sheep. Okay, Zhu Ji, you take three people to guard the back of the store in case anyone gets away, and the others follow me in."
Zhu Hu led people into the store, kicked a group of villagers who were sleeping in a staggered state, and after passing the knives, they all went to the backyard.
It was obviously not the first time that everyone in Zhujiazhuang had done this. Zhu Hu led people to guard outside the courtyard. A man took out a knife and stepped forward to open the door.
"Squeak"
Shi Qian was used to climbing over walls and walls. He was very energetic at night and had not yet fallen asleep. When he heard a familiar voice coming from the door, he immediately looked up.
I saw a small knife inserted through the crack of the door, pulling the door latch.
Shi Qian quietly raised his head, and under the moonlight, through the window paper, he saw several big men standing guard outside the door, and there were more than a dozen big men in the courtyard, all holding simple knives in their hands.
Looking at the group of big men outside, Shi Qian was sweating a little. If they were not prepared, they would break through the window and climb on the roof to escape. However, Chao and Yong might be caught off guard and their lives would not be saved.
When disaster strikes, we all fly away. If we die as Taoist friends, we will not die as poor Taoists.
Shi Qian gritted his teeth and was about to leave when he turned to look at Chao Yong who was sleeping soundly. Thinking of the horse and clothes he bought me, I couldn't help but hesitate.
"I am a thief who flies over walls and walls, how could anyone ever appreciate and trust him?" As the son of a wealthy man in the world and a rising star, Chao Yong did not look down upon him, but was willing to take him under his wing and hand over the packages to him along the way, without any precautions. How could I just walk away?
"Squeak, squeak."
"At worst, he will die, and he will be a master thief again eighteen years later."
Seeing that the door latch was about to be pushed open, Shi Qian gritted his teeth and poked Chao Yong.
Chao Yong was not very dead even when he was sleeping. He opened his eyes and saw Shi Qian stabbing him. He was about to speak when he saw Shi Qian pointing atDoors and windows.
Chao Yong quietly raised half of his body and looked at the situation outside the hospital, knowing that he had encountered a black shop.
He didn¡¯t expect that Zhujiazhuang would still do this, but the wilderness was a good place to make money and kill people, so it¡¯s no wonder they were tempted.
"Squeak"
The person who opened the door was obviously a repeat offender. Before Chao Yong could think of a countermeasure, the door was opened and Chao Yong signaled Shi Qian to lie down and pretend to sleep.
A big man crept in with a knife in his hand. Over the years, he had killed countless guests in their sleep.
Seeing that there was no movement from the three people on the kang, the big man walked up to the kang, raised his knife, and was about to cut it down, when he saw a person in the middle suddenly jumped up and rushed over. Then he felt a pain in his neck and lost consciousness.
Chao Yong got angry, broke the person's neck, grabbed the knife, and rushed out the door.
Before the big man guarding the door could react, three people had been chopped down.
Zhu Hu was furious when he saw that he had killed four people in the blink of an eye. With a roar, he raised his sword and slashed at Chao Yong.
Chao Yong did not greet him. He stepped aside and slashed Zhu Hulan down with his sword.
Zhu Hu saw that Chao Yong's sword came quickly and quickly retreated. However, he was stopped by Zhuang Ding who came up from behind. He couldn't avoid it and was cut in half on the spot.
"The second master is dead, let's go shoulder to shoulder."
Zhuang Ding, who rushed up to help in the battle, was shocked when he saw Zhu Hu being cut into two pieces as soon as he met him. They shouted and surrounded Chao Yong together.
How could some villagers who were proficient in martial arts stand up to Chao Yong? In the blink of an eye, Chao Yong chopped down seven or eight of them. Seeing how ferocious Chao Yong was, the remaining villagers lost the courage to fight anymore. They shouted and scattered. Escape.
Zhu Yi was cunning. After Chao Yong killed Zhu Hu, he kept hiding behind him. Seeing that the situation was not going well, he was the first to run away to the back door. Just as he was about to escape, he felt a pain in his back. The Pu Dao had already come out of his chest, and the powerful force took him one step forward, and he stopped when it was nailed to the courtyard door.
"Poof"
Zhu Yi sprayed a mouthful of blood foam on the courtyard door, tilted his head and hung it on the door.
When Shi Qian woke up Chao San and came out of the yard, he only saw seven or eight corpses lying on the ground. Chao Yong moved quickly in the yard, kicking or throwing, and a simple knife rose into the air and escaped. None of the men walked out of the backyard.
Shi Qian and Chao San were both a little dumbfounded when they looked at the murderous Chao Yong.
Chao Yong just thought about not letting people escape to report the news. At this time, he calmed down and looked at the slaughterhouse-like situation in the courtyard, and he felt a little disgusted.
"Hurry back to the village and report the news. Second Master and the others are all in trouble."
When Shi Qian was in a daze, he heard a sound outside and quickly climbed to the roof to take a look.
"No, four people escaped."
Chao Yong climbed to the roof and saw that the four people were almost submerged in the darkness.
¡°A good man will not suffer the immediate loss, so he packs up the package and we rush back to Yuncheng County overnight.¡±
It turned out that Zhu Ji led three people to block the back door to prevent the fat sheep from escaping. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, he heard someone inside shouting "Second Master is dead". Zhu Jigang was about to bring someone in to take revenge, but he didn't expect another burst of screams coming from inside. The voices seemed to be from Zhujiazhuang. , suddenly lost their courage and led the three of them to escape towards Zhujiazhuang.
At that moment, Chao Yong and the others put on their clothes, took their packages, led their horses up the official road and walked south.
Although Zhu Ji and the others took a small road back, they couldn't compare with Chao Yong and the others on horseback. When Zhujiazhuang ordered his troops to intercept, Chao Yong and the others were already far away.
