Twin Brocade

Chapter 141 Thief

Yes!

In the previous life, since Princess Jing'an came to Jingyi Nunnery, I paid more attention to this place.In order to win the favor of Princess Jing'an, people were sent to the nunnery several times to deliver clothes, rice noodles and other items.

I remember that just after the heavy snow closed the mountain, the confidant maid went up the mountain for the first time and came back from the nunnery to report that there was a fire in the Jingyi nunnery, which burned down most of the buildings.

Fortunately, under the protection of Mrs. Jingchen, Princess Jing'an and the dowager in the palace were both saved.But that fire destroyed part of the winter food and houses stored in the nunnery, and also burned more than a dozen nuns, and two other old nuns were unable to survive the winter because of insufficient charcoal fire.

After the fire, this winter in Jingyi An was very difficult.

At that time, she was overwhelmed with matters in the palace, so she didn't pay much attention to Jingyi Nunnery, and she didn't even ask about the cause and time of the fire.Just because of Princess Jing'an, someone bought a large amount of grain and went up the mountain to appease all the nuns in the nunnery as a queen, and then let the matter go.

Fang Jinshu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that tonight was the day of the fire?
In her previous life, she didn't know the specific situation, but now it seems that with Master Jing'an's prudence, there will be no fire in the nunnery.Even if the water is gone, it will not cause such serious consequences.

Her heart tightened, and she wanted to yell for warning, but she was afraid that her judgment was wrong.If the people in the nunnery were awakened at that time, but nothing happened, what explanation should be given?
Fang Jinshu bit his lower lip, turned back to his room, shook Fang Fei awake, and said, "Quick, put on your clothes!"

Fang Fei was drowsy, she opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw her, she woke up immediately.Suddenly turned over and sat on the ground, and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, get up!"

Hearing her order, Fang Fei took the clothes on the bedside without hesitation and began to put them on.

Fang Jinshu returned to his bedside, put down the robe he was wearing before, and began to put it on.

After a while, the two of them packed up, Fang Jinshu said: "Let's go out for a while, you come with me."

Fang Fei nodded, and the two went out of the yard. Fang Jinshu led the way, and they walked quietly towards the place where the noise was made before.That direction is exactly where the courtyard of the concubines is located.

In the middle of the night, the cold wind was biting, even if he was wearing thick clothes, his hands and feet would become stiff from the cold after a while.Fortunately, the two of them practiced martial arts with Master Jing'an, and their body's ability to resist the cold was much better than before.

In the middle of the night, where is the girl taking herself?
Although Fang Fei has doubts in her heart, she believes that the girl's decision is correct every time.

As soon as the two of them walked to the courtyard, they saw a few black shadows passing obliquely in front, and entered Princess Jing'an's courtyard between a few ups and downs.

Fang Fei opened her mouth wide in surprise, and almost exclaimed.Fang Jinshu covered her mouth with quick eyes and hands, and slowly shook his head towards her.Looking at her quiet eyes, Fang Fei immediately felt at ease and nodded.

A thief came to the nunnery?How can this be good.Fang Fei ran out of ideas, and waited anxiously for her daughter to make up her mind.

"Go to Mrs. Jing'an and tell her what happened here." Fang Jinshu ordered softly.

These few thieves were able to sneak into the nunnery when the mountain was covered by heavy snow, they must be very skilled.In the nunnery, the most skilled martial arts are Mrs. Jing'an and her sisters.

"What about you, girl?" Fang Fei asked in a low voice.

"I'm here to watch the thief's movements." Fang Jinshu replied.

"No, it's too dangerous for the girl to be here." For the first time in her life, Fang Fei refuted Fang Jinshu's words.

"Go!" Fang Jinshu ordered, with a stern tone, and said, "After seeing the teacher, you rush to the bell tower immediately. If you find that there is a fire in the nunnery, ring the bell to warn."

The bell tower is the highest in the whole nunnery, and it is the best for monitoring the fire.This group of people didn't know what their background was, and they chose to commit the crime at this time.

The nuns who inspect the fire in the nunnery are in groups of three, and they inspect every two hours at night.And this time, it was not long after the last patrol.It seems that the other party has a very clear understanding of the situation in the nunnery.The other party came prepared and should not be ignored.

"Your mission, human life is at stake, go!" Fang Jinshu shouted.

As a last resort, Fang Fei had no choice but to take orders and leave.

Fang Jinshu hid himself in the corner between the two walls. This position can not only shelter from the wind, but also conceal people's eyes and ears, so that he will not be noticed.She shrunk herself into a ball, staring at the movements in Princess Jing'an's yard.

Suddenly, a black shadow passed over her head and stopped a foot in front of her.

The back of the man in black looked like a murderous knife out of its sheath, full of murderous aura.Fang Jinshu hurriedly followed the method taught by Master Jing'an, holding his breath and not daring to make any sound.

Fortunately, Fang Jinshu was wearing a dark gray monk's robe in winter, huddled in the shadow of the corner, inconspicuous.The man in black stood with his back to her again, his mind was on the yard in front of him, and he didn't notice her existence.

I saw him standing there for a long time, then a black figure came out from the yard, squatted down in front of him, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have searched all over, but I haven't seen it yet."

It is certain that this group of people went after Princess Jing'an.what are they looking for
Fang Jinshu slowed down his breathing, his mind spinning rapidly.

In her previous life, she didn't know Qin Shi well, but according to her previous contacts, Qin Shi was definitely not someone who dared to contradict Princess Jing'an.The reason for going up the mountain because of her daughter-in-law's unfilial anger seems to be in line with Princess Jing'an's character, but it cannot stand careful scrutiny.

Perhaps, the reason for Princess Jing'an to go up the mountain is not what it seems on the surface, but a deeper secret.

This group of people went in and out of the courtyard as if no one was there, and they didn't know what happened to Princess Jing'an.Although the same thing should have happened in the previous life, Princess Jing'an was fine.But Fang Jinshu still broke into a cold sweat, fearing that some sudden change would happen in this life, which would lead to accidents.

The man in black frowned and said, "Withdraw!"

The squatting black shadow replied: "Yes!" Then he stood up and let out a short bird cry.After a while, several figures jumped out of the yard.

When the last figure jumped out, he heard a "bang", knocking over something in the courtyard.

In the bright moonlight, Fang Jinshu saw his panic-stricken eyes that were exposed outside the veil, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, saying in a trembling voice, "This subordinate should be damned, he knocked over an oil lamp."

Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and the sky above the courtyard of Princess Jing'an is full of beautiful lanterns of various colors.Even though everyone had rested, the lanterns were not extinguished, and the courtyard was still brightly lit.

The air is dry in winter, and within a short while, you can smell the smoke coming from inside.

The man in black gave him a stern look, and said, "I'll punish you after I go back, and get out now!" It's about to burn, so we can't stay here for long.Although there was no gain, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Another black shadow clasped its hands and said, "In case something happens to Princess Jing'an, we will not be able to get rid of it."
