It's night, and the cold air rushes in, giving everything a cool air.
The grass and trees are withered, the cicadas are silent, and the moon hangs alone in the sky, covered with a thin veil, like a performer half-holding a pipa in a painting boat.
In the deserted night, everything seemed to be extremely quiet.
In the attic of Qian Nuan Pavilion, the charcoal fire was burning brightly, turning everyone's face into a pinkish red color. The plush cotton-padded jackets they were wrapped in looked very warm, in sharp contrast to the outside.
Ning Yujin was holding a cup of warm tea, standing at the window and looking into the distance, her slightly narrowed eyes were dark, as if she was thinking about something.
"Miss, it's late at night, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Xiangyue came over and put a rabbit fur cloak on her.
Ning Yujin raised a smile on her lips, turned back and glanced at Xiangyue thoughtfully: "The show hasn't started yet, how can I be willing to go to bed?"
"A good show?" Xiangyue looked at the place where Ning Yujin had just looked. Except for an endless stretch of buildings, trees, flowers and grass, there was nothing else. Where could the good show come from?
She couldn't help but shook her head, turned around, and took the tea cup from Ning Yujin's hand: "Miss, you should drink less tea, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night."
Ning Yujin didn't look at her, her eyes suddenly lit up as she looked outside, and she murmured: "Here we come!"
"What's coming?" Xiangyue quickly followed Ning Yujin's gaze and found that a plume of thick smoke suddenly appeared from the place she had just looked at, drifting straight into the sky.
"Miss, there... there's a fire there!" Xiangyue immediately became anxious and turned her head to look at Ning Yujin, only to see an unexpected look on her face.
She couldn't help but wonder for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Could this be the 'good show' that the young lady said?"
But Prince Ding’s palace is on fire, what kind of show is this?
"I asked you to watch the show, so just watch it carefully." Ning Yujin leaned against the bed and stretched out her hand to beckon, "If you don't want to watch it, just go and bring me a plate of melon seeds."
With this posture, I am really ready to watch the fun.
Xiangyue glanced at Ning Yujin speechlessly, but still went to get her melon seeds.
The real master is not in a hurry, why should she be in a hurry?
"Water has escaped! Water has escaped! Hurry and put out the fire!"
"Not good! Everyone, pay attention, a thief has sneaked into the house!"
"Direction to the dungeon, don't let anyone escape!"
"..."
Not far away, there was chaos.
Ning Yujin stood by the window of the attic and could see very clearly.
Shadow guards rushed over from all directions, but the fire there seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, with no tendency to be extinguished.
A group of people exchanged fire with each other. In the chaos, two black shadows, covered by the shadow of the trees, quietly floated up to the roof, and then left quickly.
Ning Yujin tilted her head and watched the two figures disappear into the night.
"No, the prisoner has been kidnapped. Go chase him!"
I don't know who shouted, and the two parties in the firefight quickly stopped, and then, like lithe geese, they all flew up to the roof and chased away.
"So fast."
She didn't even have time to crack the melon seeds.
Yawning, she turned around and suddenly saw a black shadow that looked like a piece of wood standing behind her. Ning Yujin almost jumped up in fright.
"I'll choke you, Xiaoba, you're going to scare me to death!"
108 looked at Ning Yujin speechlessly and said nothing.
He usually came here quietly, and he never saw such a big reaction from Ning Yujin.
Tonight's action seemed to be well planned, but in fact she was still extremely nervous, right? Otherwise, how could she not notice him coming?
"Is everything going well?" Although she saw things developing as expected, she still couldn't help but ask one more question.
108 nodded: "Mr. Murong asked me to come over and tell you. He will have the shadow guard come over at any time to report on the progress, so you don't have to worry."
"This doesn't mean I don't have to worry, it simply means I don't have to sleep!" Ning Yujin pursed her lips and smiled, walked to the soft couch and sat down.
I've been really weak recently, and I can't bear to stand for a while.
She asked Xiangyue to bring a blanket over, and instead of going back to the bedroom, she reclined on the soft couch, supported her head with one hand, and closed her eyes to rest.
This time, Murong Xuan tried hard to get away with it. He first used black mandala flower juice mixed with sandalwood to make the fake 103 hallucinate, and then designed a fake prison robbery and asked the shadow guard to wear the human skin mask of Monk Zhiyuan to gain his trust.
, and finally coaxed him to take the shadow guard directly to the residence where Qi Yunqian was hiding.
If Qi Yunqian can really be found this time, it will be a big cancer in Daye and solve the problem that has been plaguing everyone. Mo Jingxiao can also deal with the prince and King Jingyang with peace of mind, without fear of someone suddenly showing up.
There were hidden cannons fired behind him. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
However, based on the experience of fighting Qi Yunqian these past few times, the chance of success of this operation is still a bit worrying.
With how cunning Qi Yunqian is, people have to think too much.
Not long after I closed my eyes, the first wave of news from the Shadow Guard came back.
Holding the note taken from the pigeon's leg, 108 quickly stepped in and delivered it to Ning Yujin's hand.
Ning Yujin opened her eyes quietly, reached out to take it, opened it and took a look, her eyebrows suddenly raised high: "They chased people and went to the West Market."
Why go to West Market?
Over there in the West Market...
"Han Xuan Book Club!"
Ning Yujin seemed to suddenly think of something, and stood up suddenly, her almond-shaped eyes widening.
"Why didn't I think of it? Why didn't I think of it..."
The most dangerous place in the world is also the safest place!
The last time they tracked down Hanxuan Book Club, the place was already deserted. They thought Qi Yunqian and the others had already moved to a new location, so they didn't pay much attention there.
Now that I think about it, there is definitely a high possibility that they are still hiding there!
Seeing that Ning Yujin seemed to have something on his mind, 108 couldn't help but ask: "Miss Third, what should we do now?"
Ning Yujin stretched out her hand and said, "Continue to wait for news from them."
With Murong Xuan following him, the old fox she could think of could also think of it, and he would definitely go directly to Hanxuan Bookstore at this moment, so there was no need for her to make any extra moves.
Just now I could pretend to be calm, but now I feel really uneasy and I want to rush straight to the front line.
Ning Yujin couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked around the room, looking up from time to time outside to see if there was any new news.
The waiting time is often the most difficult. Ning Yujin felt as if she had spent centuries before the figure of 108 appeared in the house again.
