Chapter 1610 Seeing the Little Boy's Face Clearly
Lou Qing was still selfish. Seeing that it was not time yet, he whispered in Lou Xue's ear: "Stay away from me when you sneak in. If the situation is not right, run separately. I will attract the main team and you take the opportunity to enter Ning Mansion."
Lou Xue refused with a stern face: "Ning Mansion is a wolf's den. No, I will return by the same route."
Lou Qing frowned: "It's late at night now. The masters in Ning Mansion may not be able to find you immediately. You should leave through a detour and move quickly so as not to alarm them..."
"What if they alarm them?" Lou Xue thought of the injury on his arm and closed his eyes: "Anyway, I know my limits, senior brother, don't forget that we are from the same school, and my skills are not worse than yours."
Seeing that Lou Xue was stubborn, Lou Qing couldn't say anything more, but he was more worried about the next action.
At the second watch, two neat figures quickly and sharply jumped into the side hall in the backyard of Qin Mansion.
The hall was silent. Lou Qing and Lou Xue exchanged glances, and the two of them walked lightly towards the bushes on the right side of the hall.
There were cicadas chirping in the bushes. In the hot summer, these little creatures were always restless.
There were servants patrolling in the Qin Mansion. In order to avoid these people, Lou Qing and Lou Xue stayed on the road for a long time.
When they finally entered the first room of the east wing, the weapons in their hands were also held in their palms.
Lou Qing nodded, pushed open the door, and slipped in.
Lou Xue hid in the corridor to guard for him.
But a quarter of an hour later, Lou Qing came out again, but just shook his head: "No one, nothing is there."
Lou Xue's face was solemn, and she gritted her teeth tightly: "Sure enough, Lou An and Lou Han were captured."
The East Wing was the room where the target lived. This was what they had inquired about in advance. The plan made by the remaining four of them before was also for Lou An and Lou Han to sneak in in advance and hide near the East Wing, waiting for Lou Xue and Lou Qing to meet at night and catch the other party off guard.
But now the East Wing is empty, so the only answer is that Lou An and Lou Han have been exposed, which caused the other party to move out urgently.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the other party didn't know their entire plan yet, so although they moved out of the East Wing carefully, they didn't set any traps in the East Wing to catch them in a jar.
While Lou Xue's face was deep, Lou Qing was also thinking.
The target was not in the East Wing, so where should they look for it? Or should they cancel the plan tonight and go home now? After all, there were only two of them left, and losing any one of them would be a huge blow to this mission.
Finally, Lou Qing decided to return the original route first and then make a long-term plan.
But Lou Xue had a bold idea at this time.
"I will show up and make a scene in the mansion, and you hide in a high place and observe which courtyard lights up the lanterns the fastest. That place may be where the target lives."
"Are you crazy?" Lou Qing couldn't help but scold: "You are making an unnecessary sacrifice!"
"But we have come here!" Lou Xue said coldly, and then softened his eyes and looked at Lou Qing deeply: "Brother, I rely on you!"
As he spoke, his figure flashed, and while Lou Qing was not prepared, he jumped and ran out of the side hall.
When Lou Qing chased again, he was already furious. He was extremely panicked, fearing that Lou Xue would really ignore it and put herself in danger. He wanted to say that even if someone really needed to attract attention, he should go. Lou Xue should not take risks, and she should not be so careless about herself!
Thousands of words stuck in his throat. When Lou Qing finally caught up with Lou Xue, he saw Lou Xue fainted in the open space in the middle of the stone road, unable to move.
Lou Qing was shocked and rushed over. Before he could help Lou Xue up, he felt another breath in the air.
He looked up suddenly and saw a figure slowly crossing under the shadow of the tree in front of him.
It was a man with a stern face and a calm expression. Lou Qing looked at him as if he was facing a great enemy, but the man just said slowly: "Follow me."
After the words fell, he walked past Lou Qing slowly and went to the left.
The Qin Mansion, which was guarded as solid as a rock, was like a no-man's land in the eyes of the man.
Lou Qing didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, but Lou Xue's current appearance left him with no better choice, so even if the other party was suspicious and his origin was unknown, Lou Qing had to choose to trust.
He picked up Lou Xue and followed the man silently.
A quarter of an hour later, they entered the Ning Mansion. They were separated by a wall, but Lou Qing was indeed relieved. He had inquired in advance that the Ning Mansion was the residence of the local wealthy businessman Ning Taigong. Ning Mansion was a serious businessman, and the younger generation in the family were all honest, so Lou Qing was at ease when he chose to lurk at this time.
But he didn't expect that under the seemingly peaceful surface of the Ning Mansion, there would be hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The child who hurt Lou Xue was still fresh in his memory.
Now he stepped into the Ning Mansion again, not sneaking around like the day before, but openly. Lou Qing was a little confused, so he had to call the man in front of him: "I don't know what you mean?"
The man in front stopped, turned his eyes and looked at him lightly, and his thin lips opened lightly: "Save you."
What a simple and rough two words, leaving Lou Qing speechless.
The man walked towards him, Lou Qing subconsciously guarded, and the hand holding Lou Xue was also tighter.
The man stopped in front of him, glanced at him coldly, raised his hand, and tapped Lou Xue's forehead with the tips of his index and middle fingers.
Lou Xue slowly woke up from coma, and Lou Qing was very surprised. He nodded to the man sincerely: "Thank you."
The man said nothing and continued to walk forward.
Lou Xue woke up, held his slightly painful forehead, and looked at Lou Qing in confusion: "Senior Brother, I..."
"We'll talk later." Lou Qing took Lou Xue's hand and quickly caught up with the man.
The man entered a guest house in Ning Mansion, pointed to a room on the right, and motioned them to go and see.
Lou Qing and Lou Xue went there suspiciously, pushed open the door, and saw two men lying side by side on the stone bed without a bed. When they got closer, they saw that they were Lou An and Lou Han, who were covered with wounds.
Lou Xue covered her mouth and almost cried. She wanted to wake them up.
But after calling for a long time, the two did not open their eyes. After checking their breath and confirming that they were still breathing, Lou Qing and Lou Xue were even more puzzled.
Lou Qing ran out of the room and wanted to ask the man what was going on? But there was one more person in the yard.
It was a little boy. From Lou Qing's angle, he couldn't see the boy's face clearly. He saw that the child looked up and stood in front of the man, rubbing his eyes and talking to the man.
Lou Xue also came out of the house at this time. She was more impulsive than Lou Qing. Seeing that Lou Han and Lou An were unconscious, she was anxious. She ran straight to the man and asked, "My two senior brothers were also knocked unconscious by you? Just like me just now?"
Lou Qing hurried up and pulled Lou Xue, fearing that she would offend the other party by speaking frankly.
But he also heard the information from this sentence. It turned out that Lou Xue fell on the road just now because of this man.
So is he an enemy or a friend?
The child in front of the man also turned his head at this time, with a pair of sleepy eyes, looking at the two of them unhappily.
Seeing the child's face clearly, Lou Xue suddenly stepped back several steps, and Lou Qing beside her also followed as if facing a great enemy.
