Chapter 18 The Reason
After about half an hour, the lady of the Li family returned to the room, lit a candle, took out a thread-bound book from the drawer, and started reading the book with full concentration in the candlelight.
Zhao Boduan looked through the gap and asked in a low voice: "Your lady likes reading?"
Abi replied in a loud voice of mosquitoes: "Yes, the lady likes all kinds of popular scripts, especially those who read the West Chamber."
Zhao Boduan laughed silently and said, "It seems that she wants to have a secret meeting with a scholar like Zhang Sheng." However, Abi did not respond. This little girl is very protective of the master.
After more than an hour, the people turned off the lights and went to bed at this time, but the Li family was loose and tight, and the lights were turned off, but there were more patrol guards. Soon, the candles were also extinguished in the room of the lady Li family, and the lady seemed to have gone to bed.
Zhao Boduan knew that the journey of thousands of miles alone was coming, so he cheered up and listened carefully to the movements in the room. In the silence, Zhao Boduan found three mice moving around, and six moths were flying around, which was quite interesting.
Suddenly, a slight sound of pushing the window sounded, not much louder than the sound of a moth swelling wings. Zhao Boduan held back the action and planned to wait for the thief to take action when he was abducted. Because, generally speaking, the thief's light skills are very good, and it is very likely that the thief will run away if he is not well prepared. At that time, Zhao Boduan would face the dissatisfaction of the leader of the Demon Sect.
One of them jumped gently to the ground in the house and walked again. Soon after, Zhao Boduan heard a sound of the curtain turning, as if a thief came to the bed and lifted the curtain hanging on the bed post. Zhao Boduan raised his internal force and rushed open the cabinet door with a bang. He lit his feet twice, and then came to the black shadow standing by the bed. At that moment, Zhao Boduan pinched a sword with his right hand and quickly pointed to the Danzhong point on the front of the black shadow's chest.
The black shadow also reacted very quickly. He slipped three times after making a mistake. With a wave of his right hand, a faint light flew out of his sleeve and headed straight for Zhao Boduan's face.
After seeing the black shadow wave, Zhao Boduan heard a slight sound of breaking through the air. He knew that the enemy had fired a hidden weapon and thought it was not good. The dark and light-free one could only see a contour. How could you see the subtle hidden weapon clearly? If you can't see it, you had to avoid it. Zhao Boduan sank his left shoulder and moved four or five steps to the left, avoiding the hidden weapon, and rushing forward, while his right hand grabbed the hilt of the sword on his belt, and stabbed the long sheathed sword towards the waist of the shadow. The stab was still extremely fast, causing a rustling sound of pushing the air away.
The black shadow did not surrender. Seeing that his speed was not as fast as the enemy, he gave up the idea of escaping. He held a dagger in his left hand and waved it towards Zhao Boduan's right hand, and reached into his arms with his right hand, as if he was looking for something.
Zhao Boduan used his internal force and shook his right hand. The scabbard suddenly flew up and hit Heiying's chest, knocking Heiying back five or six steps, forcing him to lean against the wall. Zhao Boduan then flashed forward and pointed at Heiying's acupoints so that he could not move any more.
Zhao Boduan used the long sword to push away the black shadow's right hand, and seemed to see a paper bag in it. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he did not give the enemy time to release the medicine bag, otherwise the result might be the one who fell to the ground.
Zhao Boduan said, "Abi, lit the candle, let's see what this lewd looks like?" Abi should have lit a candle with a fire medium and took it over. In the light of the fire, the two of them saw the black shadow clearly. When Zhao Boduan looked, he found that the lewd looked very elegant and looked like a scholar, and he had no connection with the lewd.
A Bi was surprised and said, "It's you, Master Lu Fei!"
Zhao Boduan looked at the black shadow lying on the ground. The man had been recognized by Abi and said, "Abi, do you recognize this guy?"
Abi nodded with an unexpected expression and said, "This is the distant nephew of Li Yi, the owner of the Li Mansion. He is named Lu Shaofei. He is visiting Li Yi, the owner of the Li Mansion recently."
Zhao Boduan said disdainfully: "No matter how many messy relationships he has, I'm here to catch the thief anyway, so I'd just kill the thief with one sword. This man just put on a sinister hidden weapon, and it would be great if he killed him." He raised the long sword in his right hand and was about to stab him.
At this time, a scream "No", stopped Zhao Boduan's movements. He turned to the direction of the source of the sound and saw that it was Miss Li. Miss Li had already gotten up and put on her clothes, and walked towards the three of them.
Under the dim and dim candlelight, the lady Li's round and beautiful face was panicked, and her confused expression was so clear. After looking at Zhao Boduan and A Bi, she came to Lu Fei's side and asked in confusion: "Cousin, why is it you? Is that a thousand miles away really you?"
Lu Fei turned his head, avoided the resentful gaze of Miss Li's family, and whispered: "Kill me."
Zhao Boduan saw from this man's reaction to death that there was a big reason, but he was too lazy to interfere with these tragic things. As long as the person in front of him was a real flower-picking thief, he would kill him. He immediately stabbed Lu Fei's heart with a sword.
Miss Li said to stop him again: "Don't kill him, this knight." Seeing that Zhao Boduan turned a deaf ear to her words, she simply rushed to Lu Fei, and actually used her body to block the sword, looking like she simply killed me together.
Seeing this, Abi hurriedly pleaded: "Brother Zhao, please don't hurt the lady."
Zhao Boduan had no choice but to move his sword away and said, "Miss Li, I rescued you from the thief. It's okay if you are not grateful. Now you still have to save the thief's life. What's going on?"
Abi also advised: "Miss, this traitor just wanted to harm your innocence, why didn't Brother Zhao kill this uneasy guy? Although he is your cousin from afar, he just wanted to hurt you, so don't plead for him."
The lady of the Li family said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for your life-saving grace to the little girl just now, but please do not kill your cousin for the sake of the little girl."
Zhao Boduan looked at the scene of sacrificing his life to save him, and an incredible speculation flashed in his head. If this speculation was true, the situation in front of him would be explained. However, this outrageous speculation needs to be confirmed, so he said, "Okay, I can not kill Lu Fei for the time being. But I will hand him over to the owner of Li's mansion, Li Yi, your father. I will hand him over to him who wants to ruin his daughter and let the owner of Li's mansion deal with it. That's the most appropriate thing."
Miss Li hurriedly stopped her and said, "No."
Zhao Boduan became impatient, raised his voice, and said with a firm look: "What do you mean at this time? It is impossible to let me let this evil thief go directly."
When the lady of the Li family heard such stern words, her eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but shed tears and cried in a low voice. She was such a beautiful woman who was still pity for me, and said, "Hero, this Lu Fei is the far-reaching cousin of the little girl. We have known each other since we were young. We can be said to be childhood sweethearts. When my cousin arrived at my house for a young age, she asked my father, but my father did not agree and wanted to betroth me to the son of the Wang family, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Tonight, my father hinted that my cousin must leave in the past two days. I'm afraid my cousin was anxious for a while and came to find the little girl in the middle of the night. My cousin would never be the traitor Lu Shaofei, who had misunderstood my cousin, and the little girl dared to guarantee it."
Zhao Bo praised, "What a pair of miserable mandarin ducks, but this one cannot be listened to your side. I'll ask this young master Lu to see if he has anything to do with the thief." He turned his eyes to Lu Fei's face and asked, "Are you a thousand miles away Lu Shaofei? Your names are very similar, so people can't be doubted."
Lu Fei closed his eyes, otherwise anyone would be silent when he saw his eyes, as if he was dead. If his chest was not still undulating and breathing, in this dim room, it would really look like a dead person.
Zhao Boduan laughed and said, "Miss Li, it seems that your cousin is really a traitor who has been causing a lot of controversy recently. Lu Shaofei is accustomed to his appearance. Miss Li, let me kill this person. Such a traitor cannot calm the anger of the public if he doesn't kill him."
The lady Li family was disbelief. She felt like a mountain collapsed in her heart. She couldn't breathe in her chest. She held the last glimmer of hope and asked Lu Fei: "Cousin, tell me quickly, saying that you are not that lonely person. Cousin, you have always been a humble gentleman, and definitely not a traitor!"
Abi said in surprise: "Young Master Lu looks like a gentleman on weekdays, but he didn't expect to become another person at night. I really couldn't imagine it. Master Li Yi might not have thought it would be either."
After Zhao Boduan sneered, he said, "How many real gentlemen are there in this complex world? I guess most of the so-called gentlemen are hypocrites."
At this time, Lu Fei, who had not spoken, chuckled, and said, "Yes, how many people are real gentlemen? Li Qian, your father is different than a villain. Seeing that my family is poor and my parents die early, even if I knew that I had a good relationship with you, I would not want to marry my daughter to a guy who would not help him make a comeback. Your father is a purely beneficial animal. If you want to marry you to the Wang family, he is likely to return to the court with the help of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Li Qian retorted with lack of confidence: "Dad is not such a person. Didn't you feel that he is very intimate to you when you come to our house?" But his heart was very bright, and he knew that what his cousin said made sense. My father always knew that he and his cousin were in love, but he just refused to agree to his cousin's proposal. He had never thought about this before, thinking that what his father said, "I was worried that you would suffer poverty and suffering after marrying my cousin" was the truth. Now it seems that my father has been perfunctory.
Zhao Boduan chuckled: "It's so bizarre that the story of you two can be moved to the stage. But Lu Fei, you are a flower-picking thief who has done so much evil deeds and walk alone thousands of miles away. This is what you admit. Just this, you will have more than death!"
Lu Fei snorted and said, "My character is not that low. I am just angry that old thief Li Yi, so I just want to trouble such a greedy guy. Don't they use their daughters to build a relationship network? I ruined their reputation and see how they can use their daughters! I just went around these people's mansions and left their names and did nothing. But they all think that their daughter has been bullied by me, and I can't do anything." PS: Please collect it.
