Zhang Ye glanced at Zi Shu, sneered, and then turned to leave.
At this moment, there was a bang, the door was slammed open, and a table flew out from inside.
For a moment, fire was splashing under the eaves.
Zhang Ye was closer to the door, so he couldn't dodge and was hit in the back by a burning log.
"Well..."
Zhang Ye snorted.
Then a dark shadow rushed out of the fire and quickly rushed down the steps.
All this happened so fast that when everyone came to their senses, the figure was already standing in the courtyard.
Qin Ming threw the burning quilt on the ground.
Immediately, he raised his head and looked coldly at the masked man in black with a knife on his waist under the eaves.
Among the personal guards who arrived, Zishu reacted the fastest.
Holding a knife in one hand, he suddenly jumped in front of Qin Ming, facing the man in black and protecting Qin Ming behind him.
"Master, don't panic, I'm here."
Zhang Ye had already extinguished the flames on his body.
He looked at the knife-wielding guards who kept rushing into the courtyard, as well as the thin figure wearing obscene clothes in the courtyard.
There was great hatred in my heart.
Such a good opportunity was ruined by that dead woman.
Damn it.
Damn Gao Dashan, I will definitely kill you.
Realizing that the assassination had failed, he did not dare to delay, turned around and ran towards the corner.
Qin Ming pointed at the man in black and shouted:
"Take him down."
After saying this, Qin Ming looked around, looking for Song Muqing.
Tonight, if he hadn't been awakened by Song Muqing's shout, he might have died by now.
After receiving the order, Zi Shu and others rushed towards Zhang Ye.
"A dog thief actually dared to assassinate my young master and take someone's life."
Zhang Ye didn't pay any attention to the shouts of Zishu and the others, and ran with his head down. He jumped up the wall with one leap, his body was as flexible as a monkey.
Seeing that the assassin was trying to escape, Zi Shu became anxious.
He was already late in "rescuing" him, so if the assassin was allowed to escape again.
Even if the young master doesn't blame him, he will probably be scolded to death by his companions.
"Leave it to someone."
As he spoke, Zishu raised the long knife high and threw it fiercely.
The long knife disappeared in an instant with a whistling sound.
Zhang Ye jumped onto the wall. As soon as he regained his footing, a bloody plum blossom bloomed on his shoulder.
"Well."
Zhang Ye snorted, turned his head, glanced at Zishu with cold eyes, and then climbed down the wall.
When Zishu saw this, he stamped his feet and was about to climb up the wall.
At this moment,
Qin Ming's urgent voice came from behind him.
"Zi Shu, don't chase the assassin yet. Take me to Baili immediately."
"In addition, send extra manpower to protect Dean Sun and the others."
Zi Shu turned his head and saw Qin Ming holding Song Muqing, standing anxiously in the yard.
"Yes, sir."
Just now, Qin Ming found Song Muqing who had fallen into a coma in the grass in the courtyard.
Qin Ming already felt guilty about Song Muqing.
After experiencing the battle at Xinglong Mountain the day before yesterday, Qin Ming had seen a lot of life and death, and his mentality had changed a lot.
After all, no one knows which will come first, the accident or tomorrow.
He originally planned to pay a visit to the Song Mansion when the battle at Longyou was over and the army returned to Dingxi.
When the time comes, he will personally ask Song Muqing if he is willing to follow him back to Chang'an.
Now I'm afraid I don't need to ask anymore.
Even if she is tied up, Qin Ming will take her to Chang'an.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming hugged the girl in his arms tighter.
.......
When Qin Ming rushed to the courtyard where Baili Zhi was, the alley where the "Qin Mansion" was was already in a mess.
"It's flooded. Put out the fire quickly!"
"The thief is over there, chase him quickly."
"..."
The sounds of footsteps, shouts, curses, cries, and fights resounded throughout the residents' homes.
........
At a quarter of the Yin hour, the front hall of the "Qin Mansion".
Qin Ming sat on the main seat with a gloomy face.
Zi Shu, Xu Gou, Huo Yi, and Mu Er knelt neatly in the center of the hall.
Behind them, there were eight corpses.
The atmosphere in the hall was condensed and you could hear a needle drop.
After a while, Qin Ming's eyes were bloodshot and he said slowly:
"Can any of you tell me what happened tonight?"
"How did the man in black know which room I slept in?"
"How could he sneak into the house and assassinate me under your noses?"
The four Zishu people were filled with guilt when they heard this, and they kowtowed one after another:
"My subordinate is guilty, please punish me?"
Qin Ming was so angry that he laughed instead.
"Punishment?"
"I have spent all my efforts and resources on cultivating you, is it just to punish you?"
"If it hadn't been for Mrs. Song tonight, I'm afraid my body would have been cold by now."
"A bunch of big men can't even compare to a woman. You guys let me down so much."
Qin Ming slowly closed his eyes, unable to conceal the disappointment in his voice.
Qin Ming's words were like a knife, piercing into the hearts of four people.
As Qin Ming finished his last words, the red faces of the four people turned pale.
Zishu knelt down on his knees, crawled to Qin Ming's feet, and cried bitterly:
"Sir, please give me some time. I will find the traitors in the house."
When Qin Ming heard this, his expression finally softened.
Zi Shu can think of this link, which shows that his brain is pretty good.
The other three people trembled when they heard Zi Shu's words.
They all raised their heads and looked at Zi Shu with some surprise.
Qin Ming leaned down, patted Zi Shu on the shoulder, and said:
"Well, I'll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes."
"Three days, I'll give you three days. If you can't bring the traitor to see me, you can just go back to your hometown in Lantian."
When Zi Shu heard this, his body trembled, his head hit the ground heavily, and he kowtowed:
"Zizhu obeys your orders."
Qin Ming nodded slightly, waved his hand, and said:
"You go down."
"Here."
After saying that, Zi Shu stood up, bowed and exited the front hall.
After Zishu left, Qin Ming looked at Xu Gou and the others again.
"what about you?"
Mu Er was the first to speak:
"Mu Er is willing to issue a 'military order'. If all the thieves cannot be found within two days, I am willing to die to apologize."
Huo Yi was shocked when he heard this.
Among all the members of the special team, he and Mu Er have the best relationship.
"Sir, these thieves all committed suicide by taking poison. It can be seen that they are either professional killers or death warriors trained by big families."
"It's not easy to find them all. Please forgive me and grant me two days of grace."
Qin Ming nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
First, Huo Yi's analysis was not wrong. These people must be dead soldiers raised by others.
The second reason is that Huo Yi was still willing to stand up and intercede for his companions even when he was furious.
"Okay. Then..."
"Two days, my subordinate only needs two days."
Before Qin Ming finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mu Er.
