The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 351 Ranger ([-])
Xiao Nan walked to the hall outside, Yuzan was whispering something to Hong Hua and the others, seeing her walk in, he hurriedly stopped to greet her.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

The four Honghua were in charge of the main room's guards, and now they were not patrolling around, but ran into the hall, obviously there was something important to report.

Yuhan didn't care about saluting, and hurriedly replied: "Just now when Honghua was patrolling the courtyard, she saw a dark shadow, they chased them all the way, and when they reached the main room, the black shadow disappeared again."

The Cui family is heavily guarded, there are guards with swords and armor patrolling outside, Cui family trilogy guarding the courtyard, and female guards such as Honghua guarding the inner courtyard, but the black shadow can appear and disappear, this, this problem is too serious.

As soon as Yuzan heard Honghua's reply, her heart immediately rose to her throat, lest some bad people would sneak into Cui's house and wait for an opportunity to cause trouble.

In case the princess and the two little masters were hurt, she really wouldn't be able to atone for her sins by dying a hundred times.

Hearing this, Xiao Nan beckoned to Honghua, "Where did you find that black shadow? Where did he come from?"

It should not be the main entrance, nor is it possible to enter through the courtyard wall, Xiao Nan is quite at ease with the heavy protection of the Cui family.

Honghua looked ashamed, and replied in a deep voice: "When the servant girl was patrolling the corridor leading from the atrium to the south courtyard, I suddenly saw a black shadow quietly appearing, and walked along the flower wall on the outside of the corridor to the Weiwei courtyard. Worried that it was a bandit, I immediately sent a signal to the other guards. The sisters received the signal and rushed from all over the place. We followed and chased here. When we heard the sound on the roof, we thought that the man had entered the room, and Hongjiao had already jumped on the roof. .”

Just as he was talking, a woman in a black hu suit floated down from the roof, walked into the hall a few steps, saluted hurriedly, and said, "Princess, there is no one on the roof. The servant girl thought, we are probably Falling into that man's trick, he intentionally threw stones on the roof to lure us, but he himself hid in a corner of the courtyard."

Xiao Nan's face sank like water, and he said in a cold voice: "Hong Jiao is right, that person is most likely in the yard in front of the main house, and he most likely has a weapon on him, hiding in secret and waiting for an opportunity to act."

After hearing this, Yuzan became even more nervous, and quickly suggested: "Princess, maidservant, go and call the armored guards here."

Hong Hua waved her hand, "No need, the servant girl has sent a signal, and they will come later."

Just as he was speaking, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the courtyard, and more than twenty armored guards with swords rushed in.

The captain of the guard walked to the verandah and saluted with fists in the palm of his hand.

Xiao Nan didn't have time to talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, "A gangster entered just now, and you patrolled outside, but you didn't find anything unusual?"

The captain's face changed, "Princess, my subordinates strictly followed your instructions, and sent four people to guard in front of several doors, and there were people patrolling the alleys outside the wall from time to time, so there is absolutely no possibility of anyone breaking in. Unless, he will Tudun can bypass the guards of the subordinates and emerge from the ground."

They are professional armored guards, and they are dedicated to their duties. Although they cannot protect the Cui family from entering, if a living person wants to break in from the outside, it is absolutely impossible.

"Hmph, coming out of the ground, do you think this is a legend of ghosts?"

Xiao Nan said coldly, Impossible?How is it impossible, now people are running in, and even touch my yard.

Wait, Xiao Nan paused, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, from underground, from underground... Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she finally thought of how that person sneaked into Cui's house.

Speaking of this, why do we have to talk about the absolutely advanced urban infrastructure in the capital.

During that period, the construction of Chang'an, Luoyang and other capital cities was absolutely advanced and complete. Apart from neat street planning, infrastructure such as those underground waterways and underground canals were well designed.

In particular, several major underground aqueducts under the capital lead the Chanshui, Jiaoshui, and Lushuis outside the city into Miyagi.

There are also some powerful families who have lakes in their homes. In order to make the lake water fresh, they deliberately choose a location close to the underground canal to connect the lake water in their homes with the canal.

As for the Cui family, there is also a large artificial lake that runs through three entrances, and the lake water finally flows into the underground canal connected to Miyagi.

That black shadow most likely entered Cui's house from underground by bypassing Marquis Wu on the ground through an underground waterway or canal.

Reminiscent of this level, Xiao Nan couldn't help guessing the identity of that person - he was familiar with the exact location of the capital's underground waterways or canals, he was by no means an ordinary person, at least he was by no means a ranger or an idler.

Either a sage or someone from the prince's side, or the personal guard of King Wu...

No, if King Wu knew the distribution map of the underground water canals, he would definitely not make a fuss during the day, and he would directly use the water channels to sneak into the palace city.

So, that is to say, that mysterious shadow is a sage or a prince. He entered Cui's house in order to borrow the lake water of Cui's house, escape into the waterway and leave Qinrenfang, or even leave the capital?

If this is the case, Xiao Nan can breathe a sigh of relief, if that person just wants to 'borrow the way', he should not and dare not hurt others at will.

However, Xiao Nan didn't dare to relax his vigilance, after thinking for a while, she said: "Forget it, it's useless to talk about that now, people have already sneaked in, we must arrest him to prevent him from hurting others."

After a slight pause, Xiao Nan seemed to be thinking about how to arrange it. After a while, she pointed at the captain of the guard, "In this way, you take a few careful and safe people to patrol outside the courtyard, and immediately arrest anyone suspicious."

The captain of the guard hurriedly bowed to answer.

Xiao Nan said again: "Others return to their original posts immediately, watch the doorways and the alleys outside the wall, and prevent the second person from sneaking in."

The captain of the guards and more than [-] guards clasped their fists together and saluted.

Xiao Nan waved his hand, "Okay, hurry up and make arrangements."

The captain of the guard led everyone away and came to the gate of the courtyard. He pointed out a few skilled and thoughtful people and ordered them to patrol the inner courtyard with him, while the others quickly returned the same way.

Xiao Nan said to Honghua and the others again: "Don't search around in the yard anymore, since that person was able to get to me all the way, I think he is a bit capable. But no matter how capable he is, there is only one person. There should be no big waves. Little aunt and little Dalang are important, Honghua and Hongjiao go to the dormitory to protect them, Honge and Hongsang guard at the door of the dormitory, take care of them for me."

Honghua and others agreed in unison.

Xiao Nan thought for a while, and added: "No matter what happens outside, you just need to protect the little aunt and the little big man, and don't care about anything else."

"Yes!"

The four of Honghua responded and entered the dormitory one after another.

Xiao Nan raised his head to look at the sky, it was completely dark, and the grass, trees, lake and stones in the yard in front of him were shadowy, if that person wanted to hide, it was really hard to find.

"Princess, do you want to send someone to report to the Lord?"

Seeing Xiao Nan's solemn expression, Yuzan suggested.

Xiao Nan shook his head, "Lang Jun is still discussing important matters with the old man and his husband, but he is a small thief who can't stand on the stage, so don't bother him."

Xiao Nan walked out of the verandah, went down the steps, and came to the courtyard. It was extremely quiet everywhere, except for the rustling of leaves blown by the breeze, and the chirping of insects in the grass not far away, there was no other sound.

Yuhan silently followed Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan closed his eyes slightly, held his breath, concentrated all his energy, and listened carefully.

After listening for a while, she slowly walked to the corner on the west side, where there were a few rocks with jagged shapes, and some flowers and plants were planted beside the rocks. Under the moonlight, the rocks cast a shadow, which just connected to the wall Get up, it's a good place to hide.

Xiao Nan stood still, twitching the fingers of her right hand lightly, a copper coin slipped out in an instant, and she rubbed it lightly.

"I know you're hiding here."

Xiao Nan spoke suddenly, his voice was very soft, as if a breeze was blowing, "I don't care who you are, whether it's a ranger or a gangster on the street, if you can appear in my yard, you're probably capable. I, Princess Xiangcheng, admire capable people, so as long as you don't harm my homeland or my family, I can let you go."

There is no movement around, the summer breeze is blowing, and the fragrance of flowers is undercurrent.

The corners of Xiao Nan's lips curled up slightly, and he continued: "Also, I already know how you got in. I've also thought about what you want to do next."

The surrounding area was still quiet, except for the breathing of Xiao Nan and Yuzan, there was no other sound.

A flash of approval flashed in Xiao Nan's eyes, and he continued, "Don't worry, I'm not lying to you, bypass this courtyard, and walk more than [-] steps northwest to Cui's Tingxin Lake, there is no one guarding it!" Let's see if you can stand it this time.

Sure enough, on the side of the rock, there was a slight sound of inhalation, the sound was extremely small and short, but it was still detected by Xiao Nan, who had extraordinary hearing.

She turned her bare hand, threw a flying coin, drew a parabola in the air, and then ruthlessly nailed it into the soil.

Xiao Nan said coldly: "If you dare to hurt my family, or cause trouble in the Cui family, the next copper coin will be directly pierced into your throat, and your blood will be splashed on the spot."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Nan turned around and left.

Behind the rock, the man dressed as a knight-errant smiled wryly, his eyes fell on a copper coin in front of him.

The copper coin was inserted deep into the ground, revealing a small half of it, with sharp edges, which looked extraordinarily shiny in the dark. Such a sharp cut was comparable to the edge of a sharp knife.

What surprised him even more was that the copper coin was only a finger's width away from his toes!

It can be seen from this that what the princess of Xiangcheng said just now was not an exaggerated threat, but the truth. He had no doubt that if she really wanted his own life, he would definitely not be able to avoid it.

Of course, this is not what frightened him the most. What really disturbed his aura was that Princess Xiangcheng had guessed how and why he got into the Cui family.

Standing up quietly, he rubbed the wound on his shoulder, his eyes fell on the house not far away, the light was projected through the mullioned windows, and there was faint chatter and laughter, the voice was very joyful and warm.

Princess of Xiangcheng, Xiao Shi, a very interesting woman, very good, so-and-so, I remember you!
