Chapter 461 Linggu Temple Night
Xiao, Liu and Gong feasted at Qinhuai Zuixian Tower until the fourth watch. After Xiao Jingchuan begged for mercy and left, Liu insisted on making his own way and arranged for Xiao Lang to stay the night at Linggu Temple, saying that the hotel was shabby!
Xiao was reluctant to refuse, so he had no choice but to accept and go with him.
As for Chang Ting and the other garrison cavalrymen who came with them, Liu Wenbing had made appropriate arrangements for them after the mission at Xihua Gate was completed, and they went to the barracks of the Imperial Guard to rest!

It was 1:45 am (three quarters past three in the morning).

Riding a horse northward at night, accompanied by Liu Wenbing, Xiao Jingchuan went to Linggu Temple!
And because he was introduced by Lord Liu, the abbot of the temple was very warm and polite. After four or five young monks diligently arranged everything, Xiao was able to move into the best and most luxurious guest room in the temple.

This is an isolated house in a courtyard halfway up the mountain. A stream flows in front of the door and there is a sea of ​​bamboo behind the house.

Xiao Jingchuan was quite helpless about this, but after all, Lord Liu meant well, and it was already this late and he couldn't rest for long, so he had no choice but to agree without making any more excuses!
Afterwards, after Liu Wenbing had made all the arrangements and pretended to be half drunk, he said goodbye to Xiao Lai and left with his personal guards. After that, Xiao Jingchuan dealt with the people in the temple in a casual manner and went back to his room to sleep!

Another quarter of an hour passed in a flash.
The man pretending to be drunk couldn't sleep all night. Xiao Jingchuan had so many things on his mind, how could he bear to be trapped here all night? !

He felt depressed and wanted to see Qiu Zhizhong as soon as possible to discuss the next steps!

So he dozed off for two quarters of an hour, closed his eyes and listened carefully to the noise. When there was no more movement in front of or behind the house, he nimbly turned over and got up from the bed!
He then stepped forward to the window, gently pushed it open a crack, and looked around from inside to outside!

Xiao Lang was thinking, that Liu Wenbing might not be completely well-intentioned. Even though he had left the temple, he was still outside the house, and there might be spies waiting for him to go out at night!
As a result, Xiao was very alert and responded cautiously.

But the helpless thing is that after all, it is pitch dark in front of the temple courtyard. Even if I have good eyesight, it is difficult to see anything by looking around like this!
There was no other way. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Xiao finally couldn't stand the torture of waiting any longer, so he gritted his teeth and took the risk. He quietly crouched down and approached the door, intending to open it and lean out!
But there is no time to wait for him to rush forward and make any progress!

suddenly!

The moonlight swayed, and suddenly a dark shadow appeared outside the window, leaning towards the door from the side!
Xiao Jingchuan caught a glimpse of it in a hurry, and his heart skipped a beat!
He quickly withdrew his hands and feet and hid behind the door pillar!
The black shadow was moving quite fast and its footsteps were clear!
It seemed like just a few steps and you were already at the door!
Boom, boom, boom!

At this moment, Xiao Jingchuan became more and more uneasy and nervous.

The sudden knock on the door was neither fast nor slow, and the sound was not loud.
But at this moment the room was completely silent, and it sounded even more sinister!
Xiao frowned and thought hard, thinking, if this really was a thief like this, no matter if he was trying to rob or kill, there would be no reason for him to knock on the door before entering!
The visitor came here late at night, without saying a word, but knocked on the door. What was he trying to do? !

However, Xiao Lang doesn't need to think too much!
Suddenly!

Boom, boom, boom!

There were three more knocks outside!
Staring closely at the thin beam of light that came through the crack in the door, Xiao Jingchuan seemed to see that the person outside the house was also unable to wait.

After knocking on the door twice without any response from inside, the dark figure stepped forward decisively!

creak
Unable to bear the ghostly shadow appearing, he gently pushed the door open and stepped into the house!
Xiao Lang has a bad heart!

At this moment, I just remembered that not long ago, because I was too engrossed in pretending to be drunk, I ran into the room and rushed to the bed in one go, and at the same time I drove the novice monk away, I completely forgot about the bolt on the door from the inside!
Now, when the dark shadow outside the house came in lightly, he finally realized what was happening, but it was too late to regret.
Squeak.
The door opened slightly to the left and right, the moonlight shone in, and a figure in black quietly stepped in!
After entering the room, he paced back and forth, shaking his head left and right. Perhaps the shadow of the window on the lower right bed curtain caught his attention, so he turned his head and groped his way to the bed! Xiao Jingchuan was hiding behind him, and at this moment, he saw that there was an opportunity to take action, so he did not hesitate.

He hurriedly pulled out a dagger from between his boots. Under the moonlight, a cold light flashed, and the short blade was pointed half an inch in front of the thief's throat!
"Who?!"

While lowering his voice and shouting, his right knee also pressed against the black-clothed man's waist to prevent him from turning around.

"Eh!"

"Hey, this"

"No, no, no, be careful!"

"Old, Old Xiao, you, you"

The man in black was caught off guard and was held by Xiao Lang. He was startled all of a sudden and tried to defend himself in a hoarse voice!

After hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan was also stunned!
This voice is still old.
Suddenly identifying who was coming, Xiao Lang quickly put away his knife and hastily pulled the man's hand over!
"Hehehehe."

"Fei Yu (Qiu Zhizhong), hey, you kid!"
