It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 494

Cheng Dalei held the cup in both hands and lowered his head to take a sip of the hot tea. The most terrifying enemy is always the one you cannot understand. If Nie Yinniang was some kind of witch who knew how to sorcery, Cheng Dalei would not be surprised at all.

Axi's head is no longer enough, even though Cheng Dalei usually seems a little strange, but today it is a little too strange.

"Is this woman very important to the big boss?" Axi asked seriously.

"Of course it's important." Cheng Dalei sighed: "So you must take it seriously, and don't be careless."

Axi nodded, feeling that she understood. Indeed, with the ability of being a great leader, there are not many people in this world who can hurt him. The only person who can threaten the big boss is a woman, and she must be a woman who is all over the country. No wonder the big boss looks strange these days, it turns out that he is suffering from lovesickness.

"Don't worry, no matter who she is, I will definitely find her and send her to the big boss." Axi patted her chest and assured.

"No, don't." Cheng Dalei was shocked, what if Nie Yinniang could kill herself with a ten-step lore sword or something.

"This..." Axi, who felt a little clear just now, is now a little confused: "I don't know why?"

Cheng Dalei paused, as if he didn't recognize it himself, it was indeed difficult to confirm the identity of Nie Yinniang. He sighed and said: "Forget it, if you feel suspicious, send it to me, but you must be careful."

"Don't worry, nothing can go wrong."

Axi thought to herself, how could the woman the big boss liked to let her have an accident under his own hands, he must be taking it seriously. He left the City Lord's Mansion, and immediately called the Xizi team to a meeting, just saying that the big boss liked a mysterious woman, and now the big boss has handed this task to the Xizi team, everyone must complete this task, help The boss found this woman.

After that, the news spread, it was only said that Cheng Dalei suffered from lovesickness because of a woman, so he didn't leave the door. For example, Heshen, Xu Shenji and others also came to visit Cheng Dalei and said something like "a man should be ambitious, and don't wear down his heart for a woman".

Cheng Dalei was at a loss when he heard it, but only later did he understand what was going on. He gritted his teeth in hatred, and called Axi over to give him a hard reprimand, and then the rumors in the cottage could be considered to calm down.

But the Xizi team did start an investigation at the city gate, regardless of age or weakness, as long as it was a woman, they had to check the details carefully, because Cheng Dalei was worried about what kind of disguise Nie Yinniang would do, so he checked it very carefully. In particular, single women must travel with people they know well before they can enter the city.

On this day, a woman came along the long road. She was wearing sackcloth, and she was in a dusty way. She stopped when she was about to approach the gate of Toad City and looked towards the gate in the distance.

I saw an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city. It was easy for people in the city to get out, but it was much more difficult for people from outside the city to come in. Civilians who live outside the city will inevitably go to the city to buy some necessities of life, or pick up straw sandals, side dishes and other things to sell in the city, and now they have to be carefully questioned by the guards for a long time when they enter the city.

The woman did not continue to walk forward, but turned around and left.

At night, the gates of Toad City have been closed. There are no entertainment activities in this era. The city is quiet outside the city. Occasionally, almost everyone lights up the lights, which is very rare.

Above the city gate, there were guards who came and went to patrol with lanterns. After Cheng Dalei's "retirement", the city wall also strengthened its vigilance.

The guards patrolling did not know that there was a black shadow under the city wall. She stood under the wall and glanced up, probably estimating the height. Then the body jumped up slightly, the whole body climbed on the city wall, and then took advantage of the force to jump again, and it was three or five steps high.

If Bai Yuanfei saw this scene, he would be shocked. He also climbed Liangzhou City at night, but he could never be as light as this woman.

She is like a lonely swallow in the night, her wings are like two wings, and she cuts through the air without making any sound.

When the two guards passed by, the woman flew lightly and jumped into the city, her body turned in the air, and landed on the roof of a family.

She raised her head slightly and used her sight to identify the location of the City Lord's Mansion. In this era, most of the city's architectural layouts are similar. The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the city, and Toad City is no exception.

There are also patrolling guards in the city, who cut out a post at five steps and a post at ten steps, so it can be seen that Cheng Dalei cares about his own safety.

But when the woman was walking on the roof and her feet were on the tiles, there was no movement at all. The patrolling guards were alerting the street, but they did not know that someone had walked above her head.

Before she knew it, she had moved into the City Lord's Mansion, and what happened next made her a little embarrassed. She was able to find the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible, but she didn't necessarily know that Cheng Dalei lived in that room.

At this time, two vicious dogs suddenly barked wildly in the yard under the roof. The woman was startled, grabbed a piece of tile and crushed it, swish two fingers out, and the two vicious dogs immediately went silent.

In order to ensure the safety of his own life, Cheng Dalei kept two dogs in his yard. Nie Yinniang did not make any sound, she could be said to be unconscious, but the smell on her body could not be concealed, and the two vicious dogs discovered it.

Although she acted very fast and solved the two vicious dogs immediately, she also understood that today's task might not be accomplished. The body jumped up from the roof, and several jumping bodies had disappeared into the night.

In the house, Cheng Dalei was sleeping with his sword in his hands, and the barking outside the window alarmed him. Cheng Dalei suddenly sat up, the hairs on his whole body stood on end, and his sword drew a line.

"She's already here."

The next day, Axi stood in Cheng Dalei's room with his head drooping to the ground.

"Master, I have already taken someone to investigate. The thief should have climbed over from the city wall. There were marks pierced by sharp weapons on the city wall. Then the thief sneaked into the city lord's mansion."

Axi really felt a little embarrassed, and Zhang Fei, who was in charge of the vigilance work last night, felt the same way. Cheng Dalei had reminded them in advance to strengthen their defenses, but the thief came to the City Lord's Mansion unknowingly.

If it weren't for those two dogs, no one would know if the other party really killed Cheng Dalei. In this way, Xizi Team and Zhang Zijun are not as good as two dogs.

"Okay, okay, our enemies can't be handled with common sense, and you can't blame you for this incident." Cheng Dalei reassured: "How did those two dogs die?"

"Smashed to death by the tile, the skull was smashed, and the tile was still stuck in the head."

"Tsk..." Cheng Dalei sighed: "It's really amazing."
