Chapter 49 Failed Night Attack
Xuanwu left, but the subordinate in Ye Xing's clothes who came with him did not leave immediately.
However, he didn't say anything, but stood there and looked at Wu Jian deeply, as if he wanted to imprint Wu Jian's appearance and body in his mind.
Although Wu Jian didn't know his identity, he naturally could not be afraid of him. He looked at him with the same look until the other party seemed to have caused Xuanwu's dissatisfaction due to concerns, or was taken away by Wu Jian's gaze, and finally left without saying a word.
"call!"
After pricking up his ears and confirming that the other party had indeed left, Wu Jian finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense spirit also relaxed.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel very grateful for the fact that after receiving the news in Bai Rili, he finally decided not to report the matter to Bai Shier, but to take a look at the situation for the time being.
Although Xuanwu, as the lord of the North Pole Heavenly Lord, personally monitoring himself seems to be a bit unidentified, judging from his visit tonight and the things he said before, it would not be a strange thing if Xuanwu had lurked nearby to monitor him from the moment he sent someone to inform him.
After all, this matter is of great importance. If you are not careful, maybe Xuanwu himself will be destroyed by the Ning Palace and his corpse will be gone.
Under such a huge threat, when considering whether to do something, the factor of saving lives is undoubtedly much more important than the so-called "fair reputation" such as identity and face.
Moreover, judging from Xuanwu's unscrupulous laughter several times during the conversation with him, and without any sign of lowering his voice during the conversation, the neighbors around him who looked very normal may be the North Pole Heaven or Di Ting.
Even among those refugees and beggars, there may be a large number of people, who will also be the North Pole or the Dizhe.
As for those spies who have been watching him nearby, it seems that they are more of them to attract his attention and prevent him from turning his doubts to the nearby neighbors, the refugees and beggars, targets erected.
Thinking of this, Wu Jian couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
But I think so, this is the location of the incense hall in the North Pole Heaven. Although the incense hall was destroyed by the Jinyiwei people, it was not so easy to remove after being rooted here for more than ten years.
Fortunately, in the past two months, he has not done anything that will cause doubt. He has been preparing to spread out old books every day, and then he has won over the refugees and beggars and let them use it for him. After that, he has "inspected" other old book shops in the city to find ways to make the old book shops "live" for a long time.
Only Bai Shier came here in person and was a little risky, but with Bai Shier's strength and disguise skills, it did not attract any doubts. Otherwise, today, I would not be the only one who came here today, and I would not have had to convince myself so much, but directly surrounded myself with all my might.
After less than a cup of tea was relieved and finally calmed down, Wu Jian finally had time to think about the things Xuanwu said to him before and the plan to cooperate with him finally proposed.
...
Wu Jian, who had already surrendered to Bai Shier and the court, now most longed for is undoubtedly to find Xuanwu's whereabouts as soon as possible, seize Xuanwu, wipe out Beiji Tianyu Diting, and then use this as a contribution to officially become a hawk under the emperor.
Although it cannot be said that everyone has their own ambitions, compared to Xuanwu who desperately wants to leave the Ning Wang Mansion and does not want to continue to be a dog under Ning Wang, Wu Jian's ambition at this time was somewhat "self-degenerate" than Xuanwu.
But Wu Jian had no choice after all. The moment he was caught by Bai Shier, there were only two roads left for him.
Either choose to be a human being like Xuanwu, and then be locked up in the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei that made everyone shy of their eyes. After suffering all the cruel punishments, they died tragically.
Or choose to be a dog, assist Bai Shier, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Liushemen to complete the task, seize Xuanwu, eliminate Beiji Tianyu Diting, and then officially wear official skins and become the emperor's hawk.
Wu Jian didn't want to die, so he chose the second one without hesitation.
But now, with the plan that Xuanwu put in front of him, his original plan seemed to be in danger of all failure.
Because, if he agreed to Xuanwu's plan, it means that the lurking plan he had set with Bai Shier before would be completely ruined.
After all, at that time, he would obviously be unable to complete the task of finding Xuanwu's whereabouts and assisting in the arrest.
But if he does not agree to Xuanwu's plan, then what is left for him will undoubtedly be the revenge that Xuanwu follows closely.
Judging from Xuanwu's detailed relationship between the Tianyan Sect and the Ning Prince's Mansion today, as well as the grudges between him and the Ning Prince's Mansion, as well as those very detailed plans, the most likely outcome is one - death.
Thinking of this, Wu Jian, who was anxious again, wished he could leave immediately and search for Bai Shier's traces, tell the other party everything that happened tonight, and then let Bai Shier decide what he should do next.
As Bai Shier's identity, as long as he makes a decision, no matter what, at least there should be no problem in saving his life temporarily.
Moreover, maybe he could also obtain a considerable contribution from the information about the relationship between the Ning Prince's Mansion and the Tianyan Sect obtained from Xuanwu.
By then, his life will be like adding another layer of guarantee.
But no matter how impatient he was in his heart, his reason still strongly prevented him from doing such impulsive behavior.
Although Xuanwu and his men seemed to have left, no one could guarantee that they would not continue to monitor nearby.
After all, this matter is of great importance. Since Xuanwu can come here in person now, it is not impossible to work harder and monitor it for three days in person.
It's just three days, it's just a little hard work.
But if Wu Jian finds the opportunity to "evaporate" because he doesn't watch it, then Xuanwu will work a few times more or more times harder than ten times, and it will be impossible to save it.
In addition to Xuanwu, there are also those listening spies who are lurking in the night, not to mention those "neighbors" who are next door, probably even he can hear a sneeze in the yard.
With so many eyes and ears, from far to near, and with clear layers, Wu Jian is afraid that he will never escape even if he has wings.
Thinking about this clearly, Wu Jian could only force himself to calm down, turn around and return to the house, lie down on the bed, close his eyes and continue sleeping.
The key was not with him. No matter how anxious he was, if he did not untie the shackles on his body, it would be nothing more than a waste of time and would cause him to doubt himself.
Therefore, he could only hope that in the next three days, Bai Shier could find something wrong as soon as possible, and then come to contact him as soon as possible, so that he could inform Bai Shier of the news so that he could think of a solution as soon as possible.
...
When Wu Jian was lying on the bed and tossing and turning, asking the gods and Buddhas all over the sky to hear his heart and come to him for a while as soon as possible, on the street outside the market where Wu Jian was located, Bai Shi Er was walking on the street with a lantern. Behind him, there were seven or eight figures. The person following him was holding a gong in his hand, and was beating rhythmically, while he kept shouting loudly.
"I'm safe and sound at midnight!"
Obviously, this is a team responsible for patrol and fighting. As for Bai Shier who can get involved, he naturally relies on the "charm" of the Jinyiwei token.
"You guys go first, I'm a little anxious to pee, go and let go and release the water."
After walking more than ten steps, as the team was about to turn back, Bai Shier handed the lantern in his hand to one of the people in the team, and spoke with a hint of eagerness.
"It's really a lazy donkey who has a lot of shit and urine!"
Seeing Bai Shier's figure disappearing into the darkness quickly, several veterans who were deeply dissatisfied with the fact that Bai Shier "airborne" and became the leader of their small team at a young age, couldn't help but spit in the direction of Bai Shier's departure, lowered his voice, cursed secretly, turned around and took a big step away.
They don't want to wait here for Bai Shier.
Besides, this is what you said to let us leave first, but we can't blame us.
A group of people interrupted their hearts to give Bai Shier some eye drops and found some uncomfortable old fried dough sticks, and their feet were like the wind and they hurriedly left.
But Bai Shier obviously had no leisure to care about their "self-indulgent". He quickly left the team and had quietly approached the market where Wu Jian's old book shop was located.
Although he had only visited Wu Jian’s old book shop not long ago, he advised Wu Jian to keep calm and not be anxious and wait with peace of mind.
But as more than two months passed, as winter was about to end and spring was coming, how could he be really not impatient at all?
Therefore, after visiting Wu Jian’s old book shop that day to investigate the situation, he used the "charm" of the Jinyiwei token to airborne and joined the team closest to the market to fight the Gengren team.
He had been to Wu Jian’s old book shop before, so he naturally wouldn’t notice those Di Ting’s eyeliners who hardly did anything to cover up.
Therefore, when Wu Jian has not made any progress, Bai Shier plans to find another way to see if he can start from these diting's eyes and get some useful information.
Of course, he also knew that if he did this, he might attract Wu Jian to listen to the suspicion of the high-level members of the North Pole, and even Xuanwu, but now it is completely stagnant, in his opinion, even if Wu Jian is suspected, it is better than the current situation where he is lukewarm and seems to have been completely forgotten.
"Bad reputation is better than lack of reputation."
However, although he had such an idea in his heart, Bai Shier could not have acted when his head was hot.
In the past two days and nights, he had stepped on the plate four times, determined the nearby terrain, determined the inspection time of the soldiers and soldiers inspecting the surrounding cities, and also determined the location of the secret sentry of the spies and the rules of changing defenses. He was ready to wait until he suddenly took action tonight and took a secret sentry to monitor the situation nearby, and then took him away.
As for the fighter, he will not appear again after tonight. Anyway, he only needs to notify him with the identity of the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi.
...
Climbing over the courtyard wall and hiding in the shadow, Bai Shier was waiting for the man who was fighting outside to leave, and at the same time, he was also waiting for the man who was fighting outside to provide him with accurate time so that he could quietly approach Diting's secret whistle, who was changing defenses.
These things were the rules he had obtained after exploring the whole two days, and it was also the confidence that he could succeed without disturbing anyone.
However, just as he quietly climbed over the courtyard wall from the shadows in the corner and entered the narrow alley, he suddenly felt that the market tonight seemed to have changed a lot from the previous two nights.
Because just as he was about to climb over the wall from the narrow alley into the yard of another family, he heard the movement from the yard of this family.
Footsteps.
Although it was very slight, Bai Shier still heard it, and realized that it should be the footsteps of five people.
Although there are indeed five people in this family, it is obvious that the footsteps of these five people are all the footsteps of adult men, and there are no children's footsteps.
And, if there were really children, would they be so quiet?
Take a step back and say that even if the family of five people in the yard is really the middle of the night, now they are not sleeping, what are they doing in the yard?
Could it be the thief?
Bai Shier frowned slightly, but soon he denied the idea.
This small courtyard, which looks not very wealthy, is not worth visiting by five thieves because the income is too low and it is not worth it at all.
The situation is very different from the expected ones. At this time, the safest plan is naturally to immediately give up the original plan, turn around and leave, and after tomorrow and disguise again to check the situation.
But Bai Shieryi is brave, or in other words, he feels that the sudden discovery is not enough to make him dispel the original plan, so he decides to bypass the yard and continue his actions.
In fact, he was also very curious about what happened to this family. If it weren't for the fact that he had already set a goal in his heart, he would have investigated the situation because of his curiosity.
Bai Shier bypassed the yard and relied on his understanding of the terrain to come outside another yard.
However, this also made him waste a chance to switch defenses in Diting, and he could take the opportunity to take action.
Therefore, he had to continue to wait here for nearly an hour and wait for the other party's second defense change before he could approach it quietly and take the opportunity to take action.
Just as he was about to climb over the wall and enter the dark corner of the yard to wait, a howling sound suddenly came from his ears.
It's a hidden weapon!
His heart couldn't help but feel a stern.
