Three days was neither short nor long.
After the exam, He Shen handed in his paper and walked out of the examination hall. Cao Rui had just finished his exam and the two met at the entrance of the examination hall.
"Brother He, the general exams are over. Next, we have to wait for the results to be released. The results will be released in April, and it's now mid-March. There's still half a month left. Where are you going in this half a month?”
The two chatted as they walked. Cao Rui asked He Shen.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I don't know where to go either. I might just stay in Beijing.”
He Shen shook his head and looked at the busy streets as he said with some melancholy.
He had originally planned to take advantage of his free time to return to his hometown in Fujian, but half a month was too little time. It was impossible for him to make a trip back to his hometown in Fujian.
Fujian was thousands of miles away from the capital. Even if he just went back, it would take more than half a month, so he would most likely stay in the capital.
"Brother He, aren't you going home?"
Cao Rui asked He Shen, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
"No."
He Shen said with certainty.
"In that case, how about we stay in the capital together? Shaanxi is too far from Beijing. I'm afraid I'll miss the release of the results, so I won't go back.”
Cao Rui said in surprise.
During this period of time, he was prepared to stay in the capital. If He Shen stayed in the capital as well, it would be even better if he had an acquaintance to keep him company.
"Of course you can. Why can't someone take care of my food and drink? As long as you don't blame me in your heart.”
He Shen's eyes flashed with a smile.
"Brother He, can you not be so shameless?”
Seeing He Shen like this, Fatty Cao Rui's face turned bitter, his heart aching for the silver in his pocket.
……
After returning to their place of residence, Cao Rui and He Shen had been staying at an inn called "Guest Leisure Residence".
Of course, He Shen didn't have any money. He was just freeloading. Not only was he freeloading, but he was also freeloading food and drinks.
In the beginning, He Shen was thick-skinned enough to live with Cao Rui.
Later, Cao Rui really couldn't stand the two men sharing a room, so he simply paid and booked a room for He Shen, right next to his room.
The two of them had dinner and chatted for a while before returning to their respective rooms to rest. He Shen lay on the bed. After a while, his consciousness gradually sank into dreamland and he was about to fall asleep.
Peng!
At this moment, the window of his room was opened.
Then, a slim masked woman in a night suit jumped into his room on the second floor.
"Who is it?"
He Shen, who had always been very vigilant, suddenly woke up from his half-asleep state. He opened his eyes and a bright light flashed in them. He sat up and questioned.
Whoosh!
Just as he was speaking, the slim shadow closed the window and instantly crossed a few meters. Like a ghost, she appeared in front of He Shen and placed a sword that reflected a cold light on He Shen's neck.
Then, a crisp female voice was heard."Be smart, don't make a sound."
Someone had actually placed a sword on his neck. He Shen's hair stood on end and he immediately placed it on his chest. In the darkness, the fingers of his right hand, which were invisible to the naked eye, slightly bent and made a snap.
If this woman in black wanted to harm him, he didn't care if she was a man or a woman. His divine power would definitely shatter her throat before she could use her sword to slice his neck.
"Quick, quick, don't let the assassin escape.”
"Someone actually dared to barge into the Forbidden City at night. Fortunately, we discovered it. The assassin's target must be His Majesty.”
"We have to capture the assassin, or else we will be held responsible.”
……
Just as He Shen was hesitating whether to attack, the sound of hooves could be heard from the street outside the window. Along with the hooves, there were some burly men with rough voices and the sound of armor clashing.
Only the imperial guards guarding the Forbidden City could ride horses in such a large scale in the capital at night.
Thinking that the person the royal guards were chasing was probably the woman in black who was holding him hostage, He Shen thought to himself,"Breaking into the Forbidden City at night, the target is the current Emperor Qianlong. Could it be an anti-Qing organization?”
He had always thought that this world was a historical world dominated by the imperial court. However, from the speed at which the woman in black leaped several meters in an instant, it was very likely that she had martial arts like him. He Shen had no choice but to think about the nature of this world.
After the royal guards had gone far away.
He Shen said,"The army has already left. You should let me go, right?"”
"If I let you go, you'll go and report to Qinggou, right?" the woman in black said in a clear voice.”
As she spoke, the woman in black realized that He Shen was a scholar. She thought that He Shen was weak and did not dare to act rashly. She walked to the window and opened it to look out the window.
There was no one on the streets outside the window. The moonlight shone on the stone slabs of the streets of the capital, making it seem a little lonely.
The woman in black immediately returned and carried He Shen on her shoulders like she was carrying a sack. She then quickly jumped out of the inn and ran down the street as fast as lightning.
This woman in black was looking for dark alleys and encountered a wall blocking her way.
His legs kicked and with two whooshes, he jumped over.
He Shen felt the cold night breeze blowing on his face, his long robe making a loud sound. He was a man who weighed at least 120 to 130 pounds, but he was being carried on a woman's shoulder like a sack.
The other party was as fast as flying, leaping over the wall, giving off a sense of déjà vu.
He Shen's heart was in a mess. Was this the legendary qinggong?
He Shen thought that the woman in black was going to bring him out of the city. Who knew that when she carried him to a large house, he would cross the wall of the backyard and land in the backyard of the large house. Only then did he realize that he was thinking too much.
The city wall of the capital was 60 feet, which was 18 meters, about the height of a six-story building.
This was not the kind of peerless expert who could fly tens of feet or even hundreds of feet in the air in martial arts novels. Who could escape the patrol line of sight of the soldiers on the city wall and fly directly out of the city wall in the middle of the night?
Xiao Ai, you're back?"
The woman in black landed in the backyard. Suddenly, a few people dressed like old farmers, rich merchants, monks, and Taoists walked out from an inconspicuous corner.
