Chapter 735 (1/2)
The man in black is the strange man who only talks about eating and drinking. Zhang Yitian doesn't know his origin and doesn't understand the real purpose of his late night visit.
”Kill!” the man opened his mouth again. It was still a word. According to Zhang Yitian's logic, the meaning of the word ”kill” should be a warning. Thinking of this, he immediately fell into meditation.
”You mean someone wants to kill me?” Zhang Yitian tried to figure it out.
This time the man didn't even say anything, just nodded stiffly.
”Someone wants to kill me! Who is it?” the guess was confirmed. Zhang Yitian was surprised. He looked up at the man again, but he saw the man squatting down, reaching out to uncover a tile on the roof and staring down.
”Has the killer come?” Zhang Yitian walked over and looked down at the uncovered tiles. His room was empty. Only the night wind outside the window poured into the house, swaying the candles back and forth.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Zhang Yitian looked frozen and squinted down. With a roar, the glottis was kicked open. A group of people came in, a group of guards in armor.
”City guard!” Zhang Yitian was surprised and recognized the origin of the guards below. They were the city guards of the city master's house. The leading city guard's waist crotch sword swept around the house and shouted, ”search for me!”
The guards swarmed into the house, searched around and searched the whole room, but nothing was found.
”Sir, there is no sign of the assassin!” a guard reported.
The leading guard frowned, glanced around and said, ”call the waiter.”
A guard took the order and went out. After a while, he brought the waiter over. Looking at the heavily armored guard, the waiter was so frightened that his legs trembled and bowed forward and backward. His face was very unnatural and said, ”gentlemen, I don't know anything. I really don't know anything.”
The leading guard sank his face and said, ”don't be wordy. I ask you, where are the people living in this room?”
The waiter explained with a bitter look on his face, ”Sir, after the guest came, he kept his door closed. Later, the little one went to greet other guests. I don't know when he left!”
A guard nearby threatened: ”waiter, that man is an assassin. He sneaked into the city master's house overnight. If you don't report the information, do you know the consequences?”
The waiter was almost scared to cry. His legs trembled like chaff. He couldn't say a complete word any more, which annoyed the leading guard. He waved impatiently and asked people to blow the waiter out.
”The boy should not be out of the city yet. Search the whole city immediately. Even if you dig three feet, you should find someone for me, or you will all bring your head to me.” the leading guard shouted angrily, ”do you know?”
The rest of the guards agreed, then lined up in a neat queue and left directly. Only the leading guard and one of his men were left in the house.
They went around the house and tried to find clues. As a result, they found the messy bedding on the bed. The guard reached out to wipe the quilt and said, ”Sir, the quilt is still warm. People should have left soon. You don't have to worry. As long as the boy doesn't leave the city, he will be able to catch him.”
The leading guard sighed, ”this matter has nothing to do with the honor or disgrace of young master mo. since that boy dares to offend the young master, he should be punished. Let's go.”
When the guards were gone, Zhang Yitian, squatting on the roof to spy on the situation below, sat down and thought for a long time before he said, ”thank you, otherwise I would be in trouble today.”
Things are very clear. According to Zhang Yitian, Mo Yu is at the end of the ranking among the younger men of the Mo family, and he is called the little childe mo. in the whole North Mo City, only Mo Yu can be called that.
Therefore, Zhang Yitian judged that the little childe Mo mentioned by the guard just now should be Mo Yu, but he really couldn't figure out how Mo Yu knew he had gone down the mountain and settled in this inn in North Mo City.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Yitian thought that there were two possibilities, either being followed or recognized by the Mo family.
The character freak still maintained a standing posture, just raised his eyes, looked up at the sky and said faintly, ”go!”
Still that word, but this time Zhang Yitian's understanding is much more thorough and knows that things are not so simple. But at the same time, he wondered, how did the word freak know that he was the one these guards wanted to catch? This question lingered in my heart for a while. Zhang Yitian asked, ”how did you know they were going to catch me?”
