Kai Fu Han

Chapter 186
After walking for more than 100 steps, Zhao Liang finally saw the familiar environment, and then followed his memory to the door of the room he had visited once during the day.

I poked a hole in the paper window with my finger, looked into the room, it was pitch black, there was no light, and there was no movement of people, only the faint sound of breathing could be heard, probably someone fell asleep in the room.

He inserted the knife in his hand along the crack of the door. He thought he could insert it smoothly, and then pried off the door bolt. He never thought that the joint of the two door leaves was a stepped joint, with two protruding layers. , the tip of the knife is inserted into half the thickness of the door and can no longer move forward.

"Rich people are good, but their doors are different from those of our poor people." Zhao Liang muttered.

Then he didn't intend to continue sneaking in. He took a step back and kicked the door hard.

There was just a "click" sound, and the middle door bolt inside the door was kicked off, and the two door leaves were opened.

As the door was kicked open, Zhao Liang rushed directly into the room, bypassed the screen, and rushed into the inner room.

I saw a person lying on the bed, and he was startled at this time. Zhao Liang could barely see clearly in the dim room. This person had his arms behind him, raising his upper body, with fear on his face, and facing Zhao Liang. It seems.

It's not Wang Boyan, this is a middle-aged woman.

"It happened!"

Zhao Liang immediately stepped forward and opened the quilt. There was indeed only one woman in the quilt. He grabbed the collar of the woman's pajamas and put the knife on her neck:

"Where's Wang Boyan?"

"Ah!! Spare my life! Spare my life!" The woman was so frightened that she shouted.

"Don't scream! Tell me, where is Wang Boyan? Tell me quickly! Otherwise I will chop you with a knife." Zhao Liang shouted loudly.

After being shouted at, the woman stopped shouting and said tremblingly: "I don't know which concubine room he is sleeping in tonight. Forgive me, I really don't know."

Zhao Liang secretly scolded himself for what a mistake he had made. He had guessed that Wang Boyan was in this room. He kicked the door open just now. The sound was so loud that everyone in Wang's residence must have been alerted. It would be difficult to find Wang Boyan again.

Leaving the frightened woman behind, Zhao Liang led the two soldiers out of the room again.

"You two haven't seen Wang Boyan, so you can't move separately. Follow me, and we'll look for him. If it doesn't work, retreat first and come back next time. Wang Boyan can run away, but the monk can't run away from the temple." Zhao Liang arranged.

Then the three of them searched the mansion together.

At this time, the servants and servants in the mansion were already alerted. The heads of servants and officials were organizing people everywhere, and there were shouts and shouts everywhere.

The three of them ran around in the house for a while, but no one stopped them.

"Stop, what are you three doing?"

In front of a doorway in the backyard, the three of them were about to go in to check when they were stopped by a man who looked like an official.

Zhao Liang turned around, preparing to talk to him, but unexpectedly, the official realized that something was wrong and shouted loudly: "The assassin is here! The assassin is in the backyard!"

While shouting, he ran away from the three people and ran towards the front yard.

"The assassin is here! In the backyard right now!"

"Are you going to shoot him?" a soldier asked.

"No, there is no need to hurt innocent people for the time being."

Just as I was about to go into the backyard to check, the officials in the front yard were shouting, and people were thinking of responding one after another. There were a lot of people in the front yard.

Zhao Liang gave up and continued the action: "Retreat and come back later."

The three of them chose a direction, climbed onto the roof, and rushed straight out of the mansion.

I just saw the courtyard wall from a distance, but I didn't expect that there was a person standing on the roof close to the courtyard wall.This man has a rare short round hair, is dressed in a strong suit, holds a Tang sword in each hand, has a tall build, and must be quite powerful.

"You're here, why do you want to leave without saying hello?" The man said to the three people, while raising his arms and showing the blade.

He indicated that if he wanted to escape, he had to get through this level first. He was not timid in one against three, and seemed very confident in his martial arts.

The sharp blade reflected the cold light in the moonlight.

"The shape is good." Zhao Liang did not answer, but directly praised it, then raised his knife and rushed towards him.

This man was stunned by Zhao Liang's compliments. He was still thinking about what "shape" meant. When he saw Zhao Liang rushing over, he quickly put away his thoughts and accepted the challenge.

The knife in his left hand moved forward to block Zhao Liang's knife, and the knife in his right hand retreated slightly to gain momentum, intending to stab forward after Zhao Liang was blocked by the knife, causing the cave door to become unstable.

The idea was very good, but the knife in his left hand was chopped away by Zhao Liang. The huge force from the knife made it impossible for the double swordsman to hold the handle of the knife with his left hand.

The situation suddenly changed, and he was about to move forward with the knife in his right hand to take over the defense. Before he could move his hand, Zhao Liang's knife was already placed on his neck.

Defeat the enemy together!
"Want to die? Want to live?" Zhao Liang asked.

"I want to live!" The double-swordsman answered simply and bachelorfully.

"Do you know where Wang Boyan is now?" Zhao Liang asked again.

"do not know."

"Huh?" Zhao Liang moved the knife slightly forward and cut his skin. The double-swordsman felt blood flowing down his neck along the blade and immediately panicked.

"Wait, I really don't know. Wang Xiang usually decides which concubine to look for at night. The concubines' rooms are all in the backyard. We servants and guests are not allowed to invite or enter the backyard. And I heard the old man in the mansion say, this The original wealthy merchant in the yard built a secret room to store gold and silver. I think Wang Xiang may have hid in Dense. I really don’t know where he is or where the secret room is.”

The double swordsman spoke very quickly and explained clearly.

"Throw the knife away," Zhao Liang said.

The double swordsman obeyed and immediately dropped the knife in his right hand.

Zhao Liang looked back and saw a large number of torches heading towards the yard.

Withdrawing the knife, as the double-swordsman's eyes turned from surprise to joy, he slashed the side of his neck with the knife in one hand, then he held the fainted double-swordsman in one hand, holding the knife in the other, and jumped off the courtyard wall, taking the two soldiers with him. Rushing towards the house we rented during the day.

……

"Yeah, this time it's a warning, but it will be difficult next time."

"Originally I planned to catch up with the fleet and return to Dengzhou. It seems that I can only stay in Yangzhou for a few more days."

This was the conversation that the two-swordsman heard when he woke up. According to the habit he had cultivated in the arena before, he forcibly controlled himself not to open his eyes or move his body. Only the muscles in his whole body trembled slightly. After feeling himself, he found that he was not Not bound, he was about to open his eyes slightly to check the surrounding situation.

"Now that you're awake, come over and have something to eat. I have something to ask you later."

Judging from the voice, it should be the "assassin" who fought with him last night.

No longer pretending to be asleep, he opened his eyes and looked around. He was in a small room. Judging from the layout and size of the room, it should be an ordinary private house.

Besides myself, there were two other people in the room.

He stood up and asked the two of them cautiously: "May I ask, strong man, what are your orders for bringing me here?"
