Chapter 765 - Surprised by the Killer
"Oh, why is it so cold?"
Not long after the servant left, Marquis Chengqi woke up. Maybe he felt cold after opening the window and the cool breeze came in, and he woke up from the cold.
Chi Zhongtian saw that Marquis Chengqi was awake and said quickly: "Master Marquis, are you awake?"
Cheng Qihou opened his eyes in a daze, yawned first, and then looked over carefully.
"Zhongtian?"
Cheng Qihou seemed to think that he had seen it wrong. After rubbing his eyes and taking a closer look, he grinned and said: "Zhongtian, you are really a brat. Haha, you haven't been here for a long time!"
Chi Zhongtian hurriedly called Ao Shuangxue to get him clothes, and at the same time helped Marquis Chengqi up, saying, "I'm sorry, Lord Marquis, I've been very busy during this period. I just came back last night. I heard
You are sick and you are making me anxious."
Chi Zhongtian's words were very sincere, and Marquis Chengqi knew they were true as soon as he heard them.
"Haha, it's okay, girl Shuangxue must be talking nonsense to you again." Cheng Qihou took the clothes handed over by Ao Shuangxue and joked with a smile.
"Not at all." Aoshuangxue replied.
"Master Marquis, don't move for now. I'll take your pulse." Chi Zhongtian suddenly thought that it would be most appropriate to take his pulse when this person just woke up in the morning.
"Come on, no need, no need." Cheng Qihou seemed to not want to admit that he was sick.
"Master Marquis, let me take the call." After Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, regardless of whether Marquis Chengqi was willing or not, he directly took his palm and put his finger on his pulse.
After pondering for a long time, the genius in the pool frowned and took his hand away.
"Master Hou, have you been too worried during this time?"
When Chi Zhongtian asked, Cheng Qihou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "You are talking nonsense, what is your intention? It's true."
"Master Marquis, please tell me the truth. Although I am not a miracle doctor, I still understand the pulse. Your pulse is too floating, which is obviously a sign of insufficient Qi and blood. Generally speaking, there are two situations of insufficient Qi and blood. One is that the pulse is too floating.
One is that you can't keep up with eating and drinking, which means you can't eat good food, and the other is that you worry too much, so you can't afford good food."
Chi Zhongtian's words made Cheng Qihou feel impressed. He had known Chi Zhongtian for so long, but he still didn't know that he understood pulse.
"Master Chi!"
At this moment, a guard outside the door suddenly ran in.
"What's wrong?" Chi Zhongtian didn't understand why he ran in.
This guard didn't look very old, only thirty years old, and he looked honest and honest. He first looked at Marquis Chengqi, then gritted his teeth and said as if he had made up his mind: "Master Marquis, you
Don't hide it, Mr. Chi can definitely help you solve it."
"How dare you! Mr. Chi and I are talking here. How can you come in without permission? Get out quickly!" Marquis Chengqi said angrily.
"Master Marquis, I don't care, I have to say, Mr. Chi, during this period, killers have come twice, coming to kill Master Marquis!"
After the guard finished speaking in one breath, he seemed to feel much more relaxed.
"What are you talking about? You are getting more and more unruly. Get out!" Marquis Chengqi rarely loses his temper with his servants. It seems that this guard is disobeying him.
"Master Marquis, what's going on? What else can you hide from me?" When Chi Zhongtian heard that a killer was coming to kill Marquis Cheng Qi, his heart immediately reached his throat.
Even Ao Shuangxue, the monk Zhanger, asked as if he was confused: "When did this happen? How come I never knew about it?"
Chi Zhongtian didn't know, and it was understandable. After all, he was not in Shezhou, but Aoshuangxue had never left. How could she not hear any news.
"Come out and tell me alone, Shuangxue, stay here with the Marquis!"
Chi Zhongtian was afraid that the guard would be frightened by Marquis Cheng Qi, so he got up and dragged him out. After arriving under a tree outside, Chi Zhongtian asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"It started more than 20 days ago. One night we were about to fall asleep. By coincidence, Mr. Hou had been reading in the study that night. He saw it very late. As a result, I was in a daze. I heard someone
Shouting to catch the assassin, we hurriedly ran to Mr. Hou’s study. After we went there, Mr. Hou stood outside the door. Two people fell at the door. After everyone came out, the assassin was nowhere to be seen.
, Alas, if those two brothers hadn’t fought tooth and nail to block it, the Marquis would have been poisoned long ago.”
"What about the last time?" Chi Zhongtian remembered that the guard just said that he met two killers.
"It was ten days ago, it was night, and the Marquis had already gone to bed. Since we met the killer for the first time, we were afraid that something would go wrong, so we changed the original three groups of night watchmen into two groups. We were the ones who patrolled the night in the first half of the night.
A few people were watching, but nothing happened. After the replacement of people in the middle of the night, we just went to sleep when we heard another noise. This time, no one was killed, but the killer threw something into Mr. Hou's room. What else could he do?
The poisonous cigarette was set off, but fortunately Mr. Hou was alert early and opened the door immediately and came out, so he survived."
After the guard finished speaking, he then said to Chi Zhongtian: "I have told Mr. Hou a long time ago to come to you for help, but Mr. Hou refused to let you go. Even Miss Ao came several times, but Mr. Hou refused to let you go."
He said, later we knew that you were not here, so we didn’t say anything, but today you are here, and I risk being punished by Lord Hou to tell you that you must help. We are really afraid that next time, we will not be able to save Hou.
It’s my father.”
After Chi Zhongtian heard what the guard said, his heart was greatly shaken. He thought, if Lord Qi is an uncontroversial person, who would have trouble with him?
According to what the guard said, this killer was probably not a master, because he could be stopped by the guards in the Hou Mansion alone, and his level was obviously average.
But, as the saying goes, it is easy to hide from open guns, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows. No matter how bad your martial arts skills are, you are still a killer. When you know that someone always wants to take the opportunity to kill you, can you feel comfortable?
"What's the illness of Lord Marquis?" Chi Zhongtian suddenly asked.
"Well, although the Marquis doesn't let us go and talk about it, he must be scared himself. He can't sleep well every night. These days, the Marquis can't sleep every day. His eyes are often red and swollen in the morning, and then he sleeps again during the day.
, You know, the Marquis is already so old, how can he go through such trouble? No, within a few days, the Marquis fell ill." The guard said worriedly.
"But it's okay to be sick. At least I can sleep at night." Then, the guard said this with a wry smile.
