The days always pass quickly when we are busy. There are only three days left before the imperial examination.
It was a dark and windy night, and even Zhao Yiming, who usually went to bed late, went to bed early to conserve his energy.
Although the beginning of spring has passed, the weather is still very cold. There is not even the sound of insects in the silent general's mansion, only the cold wind whistling from time to time.
A Bing was diligently leading a team of people to patrol the various courtyards in the mansion. When they happened to pass by Zhao Yiming's courtyard, Qiu Shan couldn't help but sneeze, which startled the wild cat in the flower bed pond, making everyone laugh.
"Quiet, quiet, what are you doing? Don't you know that your son-in-law has an exam in three days? Can you take responsibility for disturbing his rest in the middle of the night with such a loud noise?"
After A Bing's scolding, everyone fell silent in a hurry, and all accused Qiu Shan with their eyes.
If he hadn't sneezed in the middle of the night and startled the wild cat, they wouldn't have been scolded.
Akiyama glared back at them, unwilling to be outdone. "Humph! You're the one laughing, who can you blame?"
Seeing that the few people were still behaving badly, the soldier generously rewarded each of them with a big butt bag before leading the team to continue patrolling.
Before leaving, he glanced at the flower terrace again and looked back at the sky. "It seems that tonight is destined to be a sleepless night."
As the team walked away, the place became quiet again.
After a long while, rustling sounds were heard again from the flower bed where Akiyama's sneeze had startled the wild cat.
Then, two masked men in black clothes came out from inside.
After making sure that there was no one around, the two of them carefully climbed over the corner of the wall into Zhao Yiming's yard, one in front and one behind.
However, A Bing and his group, who had left long ago, appeared at the corner. They saw everything the two men in black had just done.
Qiu Shan raised his chin proudly and whispered, "I never thought that I could be credited with merit just by sneezing. When we catch these two thieves, the soldiers must give me a great credit!"
The soldier glanced at him and said, "If you want to be credited with a great achievement, work harder for me when we arrest people later."
Qiu Shan was delighted. "Of course. Yiming is my sworn brother after all. How dare these two thieves set their sights on him? I'll teach them a lesson later."
"Stop talking nonsense and take action!" Seeing that the man in black had successfully entered Zhao Yiming's yard, A Bing hurriedly led his men to surround the entire yard.
Then he quietly took Chen Feng and Deng Yuan into the yard.
In the yard, the two men in black quickly found the room where Zhao Yiming lived, fiddled with the door for a few times, and successfully opened it.
Both of them drew a soft sword from their waists, and in the dark room, they immediately locked onto Zhao Yiming who was lying on the bed.
They came to the bed with swords in hand, raised the soft swords in their hands high, and attacked the bed frantically.
However, the soft sword, which was supposed to go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife, still reflected the light cleanly.
The two of them paused, realized something was wrong, and pulled the quilt off the bed.
There was only a tattered pillow lying under the quilt, and there was no trace of Zhao Yiming at all.
"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap, retreat quickly."
When they turned around, they saw Zhao Yiming standing behind them. "You two have come from far away, are you sure you don't want to stay and chat?"
The two men in black looked at each other, and without saying a word, they raised their swords and attacked Zhao Yiming.
Zhao Yiming dodged the sword of one of the men in black by moving sideways, and then drew his sword to block the other one.
The sound of weapons clashing suddenly rang out in the house.
The three soldiers who came in a hurry rushed in with swords in hand, and soon stopped one of the men in black.
Seeing this, the other person tried to escape. As soon as he ran out of the courtyard gate, he was surrounded by Qiu Shan and other palace guards who were guarding outside.
Qiu Shan looked at the man with a scoundrel look on his face and said, "Why, you disturbed my brother's sleep, where are you going?"
Seeing this, the man in black knew that the game was over. Just as he was about to bite the poison hidden in his teeth and hang himself, he was suddenly hit in the face by a fist from the side, which happened to knock the poison down.
Dashu blew on his fist and said, "I've been learning boxing from Brother Bing for so long, and today I finally have someone I can practice with."
God knows that ever since he started learning martial arts, he always wanted to find someone to practice with. Unfortunately, the soldier told them not to go out and cause trouble, and they could only practice to a certain extent on weekdays, which made him very frustrated.
Now we finally have someone who can fight, we can’t waste him.
When the people on the side heard this, they immediately looked at the man in black with shining eyes, just like hungry wolves seeing meat, and made the man in black tremble.
Then a group of people rushed up and beat the man in black up, using all they had learned on him.
Afraid that his howling in the middle of the night would wake up the other people in the mansion, Xiaofeng thoughtfully donated his smelly sweat socks to plug his mouth, to prevent him from accidentally biting his tongue and killing himself.
When Zhao Yiming and A Bing came out with another man in black, they saw that the man who ran out first was almost dead, lying on the ground like a dead dog with a look of despair on his face.
The black-clad man tied up by the soldier even cast a sympathetic look at him. Although he was captured first, at least he didn't suffer much except for the tooth that had been knocked out and used to hide drugs.
Unexpectedly, Akiyama and others, who had just finished exercising, became excited when they saw that he was still safe and sound.
"Brother Bing, let us practice this too!"
"Exactly. Normally, we just talk in the air, but now it's time for real action."
"Don't worry, we promise not to kill him."
A Bing was speechless. What kind of people did he teach?
Seeing Ah Bing looking at him, Zhao Yiming glanced at the man in black and said, "Talking about war on paper is indeed not as good as practicing it. So let's give them a practice!"
Seeing that Zhao Yiming agreed, Xiaofeng was very happy. He took off his other smelly sweat sock from his foot and stuffed it on the man in black.
"Brothers, what are you still standing there for? Go ahead!"
Soon, the man in black successfully received a bruised face makeup and a full body massage.
Seeing that he was barely holding on, Qiu Shan and the others reluctantly stopped. They even complained, "Why are there only two of them? They're not even enough to fight."
The man in black was temporarily locked up in the woodshed and was guarded by the three iron triangles of Dashu, Qiushan and Xiaofeng.
The three men were still not satisfied with the beating they had done tonight, and now they were in charge of guarding the two men in black, and they felt extremely bored when they had nothing to do.
In order to prevent themselves from falling asleep, the three men stripped the clothes of the two men in black and pointed at the injuries on their bodies.
This injury was caused by you, that one was caused by him, this punch wasn't strong enough, that kick went astray...
It was so cold and shameful that the two men in black wished they could die right there. If they had known they would experience this today, they would never have come to this wolf's den!
Woo woo woo…
