The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 403 Assassin
In fact, he also finds it strange that no matter if it is a big kitchen or a wing room, there will always be servants watching the night in a big family.

How could the servants not notice such a big fire?At least several houses must be burned, otherwise the fire would not be so big.

However, that is someone else's business.

"Let the big kitchen bring some rice porridge over, and leave some light meals to heat on the stove. When those young masters wake up, they may need some meals."

"The kitchen has been prepared for a long time, so I'll go get the little one here."

Ming Yan said, and also left the room.

Gu Chengyu looked at the inner room, which was a hot spring pool.I just feel that the smell of alcohol on my body has not been removed. After thinking about it, I still plan to soak for a while.

Walking to the edge of the hot spring pool, Gu Chengyu took off his clothes and put them on the shelf before getting into the water.

"How's the fire going?" The man, with disheveled clothes, hurried to the wing on the left and asked the steward of the other courtyard.

"Back to Your Highness, only these few rooms were burned down, the big kitchen and the woodshed."

The steward quickly knelt down to salute, he was trembling all over, and at the same time he was a little thankful, fortunately, only a few worthless houses were burned, otherwise he would definitely be severely punished today, and he would not even be a steward.

"What's going on? Is no one keeping watch at night in the big kitchen? They're all dead!"

His Highness was furious, just as he fell asleep with his arms around two beautiful women who were as beautiful as flowers, he heard someone in the other courtyard pass water away.

The steward was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, "Return to Your Highness! When the slaves arrived, the cook who was keeping watch at night had already passed out and fell outside the big kitchen."

His Highness was a little puzzled after hearing this, why did he collapse outside the big kitchen?It should be in the big kitchen, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Pulled up his legs and ran to the study of the main room, Xiao Linzi quickly followed.

"Ask Jin Can tie the man to come to Bengong's study!" Only one sentence like this was thrown before leaving.

Just now the steward thought that a meal was indispensable, but who would have thought that His Highness would leave in a hurry.

He was stunned for a while, then hurriedly got up on the ground with all his hands and feet, and went to call Jin Shenling.

His Highness ran into the inner courtyard and went straight to the study.

Before reaching the study room, I saw a little light in the study room, which was candlelight, and the two guards guarding the study room had already fallen to the ground, unconscious.

In the study room, a man in black was groping around the bookshelves by the faint candlelight, as if he was looking for something.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the study, and knew that someone was coming.

He put the booklet he touched just now into his arms, glanced at the bookshelf, and blew out the candle.

As soon as the candle is extinguished, the people who come outside will know that they have been detected inside.

"Quick! Someone has broken into the study, come and catch him."

His Highness was furious, although what he hid on the surface was all fake.But it is not guaranteed that he will have internal support from other courtyards, and if he steals the things in the darkroom, he will definitely be unable to eat and walk around.

"Your Highness!" Jin Can led the guards to rush over.

"Go in and catch him."

There is only one exit from this study, and even the windows are in the yard. If a thief enters the study, as long as he guards the front, he will not be able to escape even with his wings.

The man in black stuck the sword in his hand against the wall of the study room, kicked a few times, and climbed up to the beam above.

There were many torches in the yard, and the man in black lit the torches outside, glanced at the study, and found that the only way to escape was to break through the siege of the front yard.He clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes fixed on the door of the study.

Jin Can kicked the door open with his tie, and the room was immediately illuminated by torches.

It was too late to say it, but the man in black immediately jumped off the beam, and waved a sword at the guard who came in.

Not long after, several people fought from the study to the yard outside the study.

The man in black took a closer look and found that there were many archers surrounded in the courtyard.

His Highness hurriedly ordered people to guard outside the house, while he ran into the house and closed the door.

I touched the back of the bookshelf, where a portrait was, and turned around slightly, only to see a floor of one meter square suddenly opened on the inner side of the study.

Run forward and go down the stairs to the dark room.At this time, the candles in the dark room were brightly lit, and rows of boxes filled the small dark room.

Open a box at will, and there are gold ingots inside.His Highness picked up one and looked at it, and found that it was undoubtedly gold.

He breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that there was only one thief, and he definitely couldn't take away the gold and silver.But if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he would always feel a little uneasy. There is no room for mistakes in this batch of gold and silver.

"No!" He suddenly dropped the gold ingot in his hand and ran up the stairs.

Going to the desk in the study, turning a pen holder on the desk, a small mechanism box immediately pops up under the desk.When I saw that it was empty inside, the contents inside had disappeared.

He hurriedly restored the organ dark room of the study to its original state, and ran outside the house.

At this time, the fighting outside the house was still going on, and the men in black had one against six, and it was already very difficult.While hitting, he moved towards the courtyard wall.

The guards had already seen through his intentions, and the archers quickly followed him.

His Highness came out of the study, looked at the masked man in black, and felt ruthless, "Leave me alive! I will be interrogated strictly later."

The masked man's breathing immediately became a little quicker, and his moves became sharper.The six of them were unable to attack for a long time, and three of them were injured by the masked man. His Highness was enraged when he saw it.

He pulled out the knife of a guard at the side, intending to do it himself.

"Your Highness! Don't step forward! That thief is really powerful!" Xiao Linzi exclaimed when he saw His Highness's intentions.

The original high-pitched voice sounded even harsher now.

He stepped forward to hug his master, no matter what he couldn't let the master go, if the master was injured, then he was really to blame for death.

His Highness was held by Xiao Linzi, unable to break free for a while, he shouted: "Get out of the way!"

When the masked man saw it, he thought it was a good time. If he kidnapped the master, it would be a breeze for him to escape.

Desperately receiving a stab in the chest, he ran towards the two who were entangled.

"Be careful! Protect Your Highness quickly!" The guards were terrified, thinking that the thief was going to kill their master, they all screamed and hurried forward to stop him.

His Highness also became flustered, and just at the very moment, he threw off Xiao Linzi and slashed at the masked man with his knife.

The two fought like this for a round, and Xiao Linzi was so frightened that he fainted when he saw two wounds on His Highness' body.

This room Gu Chengyu is leisurely soaking in the hot spring, and when Zhu Pang and the others wake up, he has already soaked, so that everyone can avoid seeing each other naked.

"Master!" Ming Yan entered the house, but did not see his son, but heard the sound of water in the inner room.

"I'm soaking in the hot spring, I'll eat later." Gu Chengyu yelled outside, but he didn't want to wake up right now.

When Ming Yan heard the response, she calmly packed up the food in the room.His son has never been served in the bath, so he doesn't need to go in to serve.

After soaking for another half an hour, Gu Chengyu got up and put on his clothes.After running in the hot spring for a while, my mind became clearer.
