Chapter 25 So Close to Her

At night, Du Jian arrived outside the yamen first.

Changying sneaked out from Cheng Xiao's courtyard, and fell into his sight almost as soon as he went outside the yamen.

He beckoned her to go up to the eaves, and the corner door opened after lying down for a while, and two figures came out the door one after the other.Then a carriage approached, and the two got into the carriage and began to walk away along the street.

But Du Jian didn't chase, and neither did Chang Ying.

Du Jian turned to look at her, met her bright eyes, and then looked at the corner door.

After a while, the closed door suddenly opened again, two people came out and unloaded the threshold, and then quietly stepped out to set up a carriage, and after leaving the door, they drove towards the street in the opposite direction to the previous carriage!

This time, as soon as Du Jian stretched his body, Changying got up and jumped down the tree. Afterwards, the two of them didn't answer, they just followed.

Du Jian scanned her back frequently, watching her ups and downs, but couldn't find a place where he could pick out the thorn.

After all, he has received strict training since he was a child, and his judgment of the environment is more sensitive than ordinary people. It is very normal, so he saw that the previous carriage was just a cover, so he didn't move, but he didn't expect her to stay and wait so firmly, so he was very happy. is rare.

In this way, there seemed to be some tacit understanding. After arriving at the riverside teahouse where the carriage stopped, seeing Cheng Xiao get out of the carriage and slowly go up the stairs, the two exchanged glances, and Du Jian took the lead to turn over the teahouse. He climbed up to the wall, then squatted on the top of the wall and stretched out his hand towards her, letting her use her strength to jump up too.

"Did you bring something?"

As soon as he stabilized his figure, such a sentence came from the lighted window.

The two looked at each other, holding their breath, but at this time the voice in the room quietly dropped.

Changying took out her dagger, tore open a strip of window paper, and looked inside.

There were two people sitting in the room, Cheng Xiao leaned his back against the back of the chair and was talking to each other in a voice that only the person opposite could hear.

Looking closely at the back of this person, he has a lean body and strong muscles. He should be a middle-aged man who can martial arts.

She turned her head and thought for a while, then knelt down again, frowning.

Du Jian gave her a questioning look.

"Strange, if Cheng Xiao really came to transfer that thing, why did he meet in person?" She raised her head, her eyes were as bright as stars in the night, "And he chose a teahouse in the dead of night."

On the surface, the dead of night is the most convenient time to do things, but because no one is walking, it is even more eye-catching.Did Cheng Xiao choose this time on purpose, or did he have other intentions?
Du Jian also thought about it when he heard the words, looked in the window paper, and said, "You stay here, I'll ask the driver."

Knowing what he meant by "asking", Changying nodded and fell down.

Just when he got up, there was a creaking sound in the window, the door opened, and Cheng Xiao had already walked out!

Afterwards, the man also came out, went downstairs and got into the carriage with him one after the other!

The two followed immediately.

The carriage drove two streets, and finally returned to the riverside. Cheng Xiao took a bundle out of the carriage.

Changying narrowed her eyes, then withdrew her body and leaned back against the wall.

"This old fox really has hidden a lot of tricks!" She spat secretly.

If he really came out to do things on purpose, he wouldn't have come to the riverside in circles and brought out things outdoors.Isn't this intentionally baiting people? !
Du Jian's face was also gloomy.After a little thought, he softly signaled to go out.

Immediately following Tong Qi, she emerged from the shadows.

"Cheng Xiao is cheating, go back to the mansion first to do some sorting!"

He ordered, turned his head to look at Chang Ying, and said: "Send a message to General Shen's room along the way."

Changying watched Tong Qi disappear, and was about to speak, when she caught a glimpse of a few cold lights shooting towards her out of the corner of her eye!
"careful!"

She whispered a reminder, then grabbed his arm and quickly retreated into the deep alley!

Du Jian's muscles tensed instantly, and his backhand turned into actively grabbing her arm and retreating, but a group of people who followed followed closely, holding bows instead of swords in their hands, and this was not A weapon that ordinary killers can have!
"follow me!"

He pulled her up the parapet, and then jumped to the east of the city in a few leaps.

Cheng Xiao stood by the river with his hands behind his back, staring at the direction in which the black shadow retreated, and ordered through gritted teeth: "Send more people and chase after me! Be sure to see who they are!"

Immediately, a dozen black shadows swished out of the several Upon boats docked in the river, chasing after them in the direction of their absconding.

After all, Du Jian was familiar with the topography of the city. Chang Ying followed him up and down over several beams, and finally stopped between a wall where only two people could enter sideways.

Soon, the sound of feet stepping on tiles reached my ears, like a rainstorm coming quickly.

Du Jian held his breath and rubbed his arm against her shoulder, his mind suddenly wandered.

"What are you thinking?" Changying asked.

He glanced at her and shook his head.

That year in the grave, he and Shen Linlang were so close.

She had never known him before, and when she fell off the earth cliff, she had accused him aggressively of harming her, but before the pursuers arrived, she still gritted her teeth and lured him, who was blind and seriously injured, to the hill.

At that time, it was early winter, and it was night again, and the hills were covered with dead trees and grass. She was cursing and helping him to walk all the way. Her attitude was extremely bad. He had never seen such a fierce woman with such a bad temper, but she After all, she was helping him, and he couldn't feel disgusted with her.
