There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 52 Walls have ears and eyes
Same midnight.

Southeast corner of the county seat, Jiaolou Street.

Su Xian was full of energy, sitting motionless on the log beams of the roof, this time, he did not make a mistake.

In preparation for tonight's action, Su Xian had slept in advance during the day, so he sat here for half the night without even yawning.

Necessary tools such as incense, candles, and fire sticks have also been prepared, and they are placed on the thick wooden boards placed on the two beams next to them.

This kind of thick wooden board was put up during the day, which is equivalent to making a platform on the beam to facilitate movement.

The green bricks on this wall are just stacked. There is no adhesive similar to cement. They can be easily removed by hand.

Su Xian only took off two blue bricks, which was just enough for him to see clearly the scene in the next room, and just enough for him to quietly use the incense.

And won't be easily discovered.

Because only two blue bricks were removed, it was equivalent to drilling a mouse hole in the wall, which was extremely difficult to detect.

It's all about safety.

Dangdang!
The sound of the watch could be heard faintly in the streets.

Su Xian listened carefully and found out that it was already past midnight, and it was about one o'clock in the morning.

Although he caught up on his sleep during the day, Su Xian gradually became sleepy after sitting on the beam for several hours...

"Why haven't Miss Xiaoxian Zi and the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom come yet? Could it be a pigeon?" Su Xian thought in his mind.

When he was bored, he checked the incense and other crime tools again.

Then he leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and simulated the scene of their secret meeting in his mind. At the critical moment, he released the incense to paralyze them all.

Finally, he went to the county government office overnight to find Tang Ju...

"Eh..." Su Xian sighed softly. As soon as the words "This seems quite troublesome" came to his lips, he held back.

When a person stays in the dark for a long time, he wants to talk to himself to relieve his boredom.

But in order to avoid accidents, it’s better not to talk nonsense.

"broken!"

Suddenly, Su Xian's heart was shocked and he said to himself: "The neighbor's house next door is quite big, but I can only monitor one of the rooms. If they go to another room for a secret meeting... wouldn't my efforts be in vain?"

Su Xian turned his head and looked through the small hole to the opposite side.

Next door is a large room that can be used as a living room. The sky is full of cobwebs and dust is everywhere. A ray of moonlight comes in from the window, and you can barely see.

"It's such a big room, and it's on the second floor. If I were Xiao Xianzi and the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom, I should choose this place." Thinking of this, Su Xian felt a little more at ease.

What followed was more than an hour of waiting.

Not even a ghost appeared during this period.

Su Xian began to yawn quietly, dozing off again and again, thinking: "I'm afraid it's already three o'clock in the morning, and they haven't come yet, I won't sit here all night in vain, right?"

If they didn't come, Su Xian wouldn't be able to hold Tang Ju's arms, and all his plans would be in vain... He couldn't help but feel anxious.

Finally, just after the sound of gongs and drums at Yinshi's watch, Su Xian, who was staring at the opposite room through the small hole out of boredom, suddenly shook his whole body, his breathing stagnated, his heartbeat increased, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly.

coming!

After waiting for most of the night, they finally showed up!
Su Xian opened his eyes wide and saw a person walking out of the shadows in the next room.

"When did this person enter the house? I didn't hear any noise?" Su Xian was confused, and the man gradually walked out of the shadows and stood in the moonlight.

It was a middle-aged man with a square face and a goatee under his chin. He was wearing a black robe embroidered with gold thread. His hair was meticulously combed and he wore a strange-shaped hair crown.

He stood with his hands behind his back and his chest puffed out, giving people a majestic feeling when he stood there.

"Could this person be the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom?" Su Xian murmured in his heart, "Looking at his body shape and clothing, he looks nothing like him. Could he be from Xiaoxian Zi's side?"

"Yes, Miss Xiaoxian Zi is the leader, so naturally she will not be involved in danger easily."

"..."

While Su Xian was analyzing in his mind, the man in black robe stood motionless for a long time, and suddenly said in a majestic and deep voice: "Since you are here, why not show up!"

Su Xian's eyes widened, subconsciously thinking that he had been discovered.

This person can sneak into the next room silently, which means he is a master. If he falls into the hands of this person, he may not be safe!
In the midst of panic, Su Xian accidentally discovered that a petite black shadow emerged from behind a thick pillar in the next room.

"It turns out you didn't discover me."

Su Xian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but then he stared at the petite black shadow and said in surprise: "When did this person hide behind that pillar? Why didn't I find out?"

After a while, fear came over me. Fortunately, I didn't talk to myself or yawn uncontrollably. Otherwise, my hiding place would definitely be exposed.

so close!

Su Xian, who felt slightly at ease, looked next door again.

The black shadow slowly walked out and came to the area illuminated by the moonlight. It can be seen clearly that she should be a woman, with a very petite figure, coarse linen clothes, and messy hair...

Hey, it looks familiar, as if I’ve seen it somewhere.

He thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember it.

The woman stopped a foot in front of the black-robed man, standing motionless, like a wooden stake. After a while, she said in an extremely calm and emotionless voice: "I have seen you." Xiaoge leader!"

Su Xian was stunned, Xiao Ge leader?
What the hell is it?

Wait, isn't this a secret meeting between Xiao Xianzi's subordinates and the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom?
Something seems wrong.

Su Xian continued to look attentively, and saw the man in black robe fluttering his sleeves and snorting, turning sideways, still standing with his hands behind his back, head held high and chest high, giving him a high and majestic feeling.

Then he said: "Do you still know me, a small cabinet leader? Why did you leave the letter and abscond?"

"Subordinate...Subordinate..." The woman's voice was still calm and without any emotion, but Su Xian could hear a trace of helplessness and fear in it.

One more thing, this woman should be a subordinate of the man in black robe...

This made Su Xian increasingly confused.

"Have you forgotten what I taught you since childhood?" The voice of the black-robed man was deep and majestic, making people subconsciously want to obey and surrender.

He pondered for a while and then slowly uttered two words: "Leng Die!"

These two words seemed to have some kind of magic power. The woman, whose figure had not changed, suddenly started to tremble slightly. Her feet seemed unable to support her body, and she slowly fell to the ground with her hands covering her heart.

The woman tried her best not to make any sound, but the pain seemed unbearable, so she panted violently while looking up at the majestic man in black robes. Her voice finally changed and she said: "Don't dare... forget, and forget." I won’t lose you... you, I will always remember you... ever since I was little... you have always been there..."

"Hahahaha!"

The man in black robe looked up to the sky and smiled happily, looked at the woman and said: "Very good, very good! According to the iron law of the inner guard, I should kill you with one sword."

Su Xian frowned and said he didn't understand.

The woman lying on the ground was not afraid. Instead, she stretched her neck, closed her eyes and waited to die, showing no sign of fear.

　Thanks to "Mello Era" for the reward!
