56 Shocking news at night!
"I wanted to lie to him." Xiao Tingyun took the initiative to answer, sitting at the desk, grinding ink gently with his hands.
The ink in the inkstone gradually becomes darker and appears bit by bit.
Xiao Tingyun held the pen and said without raising his head.
Caixing and Luzhi looked at each other. Caixing was so speechless that she felt very uncomfortable.
"Miss?!" Cai Xing stomped her feet and shouted angrily!
Xiao Tingyun blinked and asked innocently, "What's wrong?"
Luzhi also understood some of the things and asked Caixing, "Didn't you say that he didn't look like a liar?"
Cai Xing was speechless. She couldn't say that they hugged each other, right? !
"I'm blind!" Cai Xing angrily said, "They are all liars! Despicable and shameless!"
Cai Xing's tone was so angry that Xiao Tingyun couldn't help but tease curiously, "What's wrong? What did they do to make you so angry?"
"I won't talk about Master Pei, but about the two people around him. One is an old servant who threatened me, and the other is a black-faced attendant who covered my mouth!"
"You can't beat him?" Xiao Tingyun was surprised. He knew Cai Xing's martial arts skills. Ordinary guards were no match for her.
Cai Xing really didn't want to admit it, but she had to nod with difficulty, "This servant... is no match for him."
"Is that guy so good at martial arts?" Luzhi leaned closer and asked Caixing.
Cai Xing pushed her impatiently, "Let me practice some more, I will definitely beat him next time!"
Xiao Tingyun seemed to be thinking about something, and his pen did not put down for a long time...
"Miss, although I think Mr. Pei is not a bad person, he also looks like an extraordinary person. Please think about it carefully again." Cai Xing advised earnestly. She didn't dare to say anything more in front of that person.
But it's really scary.
Xiao Tingyun remained silent. Caixing wanted to say something else, but Luzhi quickly pulled her out and said, "Let the young lady have a good rest..."
"Oh..." Caixing was forced to take away, feeling somewhat unwilling. Luzhi hurriedly shook her head at her and asked the young lady to think about it carefully.
After the two of them left, Shuyu Tower became much quieter. Xiao Tingyun guessed that Luzhi had said something to Caixing again, so he slowly put down his pen.
He took out the token and looked at it again and again. There was a word "Pei" engraved on it, which was vigorous and powerful. It was obvious at a glance that the writer was well versed in calligraphy.
The token slowly turned in front of Xiao Tingyun's eyes, and the flickering light kept flashing in her black and white pupils.
Do you believe him?
The third house from the left in the east of the city, Xiao Tingyun's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Xiao Mansion at night.
Insects chirped and quick footsteps sounded on the roof!
"Who is it!" The servants were patrolling with lights in their hands. When they looked up at the roof, they saw a man in black holding something in his hand.
"Someone come! Catch the thief!" the servants shouted loudly, and the entire Xiao Mansion was instantly lit up.
Before Xiao Tingyun could rest, he heard a burst of panic outside.
"Lanzhi?" Xiao Tingyun stood up, put on his clothes, and pushed open the door.
Caixing and Lanzhi followed in. Lanzhi said fearfully, "Miss, Sister Luzhi has gone out to see what happened. Don't be afraid. I, I and Sister Caixing are here to protect you."
Xiao Tingyun looked down at her legs, which were shaking so much that she could hardly stand.
Xiao Tingyun: ...I think you are more afraid...
Cai Xing was speechless, "You'd better sit down. With your legs shaking like this, don't protect the young lady. If you run away, you won't be able to stand up by yourself."
Lanzhi looked down at her own weak legs and cried, "Sister Caixing, I'm scared. How could that thief be so bold as to steal things in the mansion?"
"Who knows? Maybe he is really brave." Cai Xing stood at the door with her hands folded. "Miss, please go to sleep peacefully. I will stand outside and see who dares to come in."
Lanzhi also blocked the door with her body, "I'll block it too!"
How could Xiao Tingyun sleep at this moment? "I don't know what's going on with my grandmother and mother."
…
"Someone come and catch the thief!" The shouts were heard constantly in the mansion.
Xiao Huanjun came out with a sword in hand, and his followers pointed in a direction and said, "Sir, the thief is heading that way!"
"Lead the way!" Xiao Huanjun said in a gruff voice, "I want to see who dares to act so presumptuously in the Xiao family!"
"yes!"
Xiao Heming and Xiao Hezhou were chasing, and the servants were following behind.
"Brother, that man went to the backyard!" Xiao Hezhou's face darkened. There were several girls in the backyard, and the thief was really bold.
"Yaozhu, tell people to guard the girls' courtyards. As for Ayun, you go to guard her specifically!" Xiao Heming ordered Yaozhu in a calm and deep voice.
"Yes, young master!" Yao Zhu hurried to Shuyu Tower.
Xiao Heming and Xiao Hezhou led people to chase after them again.
"Young Master, Third Young Master, the person is there!" Someone pointed at the dark shadow in the corner and shouted.
"Where is the arrow?!" Xiao Hezhou asked sternly.
The follower handed him the arrow, Xiao Hezhou took the bow and his eyes turned cold.
Hold the bow with both hands and aim it in the direction of the black shadow.
The black shadow was carrying something and running quickly, his figure as fast as lightning.
Xiao Hezhou tightened the bowstring and released the arrow with his right hand!
"Swish!--" The arrow instantly left the string, piercing the night sky like a meteor and chasing the man in black.
The man in black sensed something and supported himself on the roof with one hand, then flew into the air.
He flew and spun, then turned sideways in the air and kicked up a piece of tile with his right foot, hitting the flying arrow with great momentum.
"Bang!"
The tile collided with the arrow, and the arrowhead was hit off course with great force, making a "buzzing" sound and piercing the branch of a large tree nearby.
Xiao Hezhou's face changed, and the men in black had already climbed over the wall again.
"Damn it!" Xiao Hezhou's face was sullen, his hands clenched tightly around the bow, "Chase again!"
The man in black had a clear goal and avoided the pursuit of everyone.
He ran all the way to Tingxue Pavilion, which had already heard the news that thieves had entered the mansion.
The servants were standing by the gate, ready for battle. Xiao Tingxue sat in the yard indifferently.
Xiao Cui was anxious, "Miss, should we call more people to guard here?"
Xiao Tingxue turned a deaf ear to him and lowered her head to drink a sip of tea. "There are so many people in the mansion, he can't escape."
"But……"
Xiao Tingxue glanced at her with a cold face, "What are you afraid of?! I'm not..."
"Ah!!" The voice was interrupted by a cry of fear.
"The thief, the thief is there!!" A little maid was holding a broom and pointed at the black shadow on the beam with fear in her eyes.
Xiao Tingxue turned her head and looked over, meeting the eyes of the man in black.
"Catch the thief!" Xiao Cui shouted in shock.
The man in black stepped over the wall and threw the thing in his hand forward with great force.
The thing wrapped in black cloth immediately rolled to her feet.
Xiao Cui swallowed and stood in front of Xiao Tingxue.
The man in black threw the things away and ran away. When the black cloth rolled, the things inside fell out.
"Ah!——" The endless screams from Tingxue Pavilion echoed throughout the Xiao Mansion.
“Help!!!”
"Wuuuwaaa..." The crying and shouting mixed together in a mess.
Xiao Tingxue's face was pale, his pupils trembled, he stared at the thing on the ground, the corners of his mouth trembled, and his fingertips pinched his palms desperately, as if he didn't feel the pain.
There is a dead head on the ground!
The man died with his eyes wide open, staring at Xiao Tingxue, like a ghost demanding his life.
There was blood on his face, mixed with dirt and mud.
