第四章 首次交锋

"九皇子府？"我挑了挑眉，端起桌上茶杯喝了一口，茶还温乎着，刚泡出来没多久。王越这小子，平时吊儿郎当的，突然神神秘秘的，搞得跟什么秘密组织接头似的。 "就是九皇子府。"王越压低声音，眼神闪烁，凑到我跟前，" Timing's right, boss. They're moving tonight." "移动？"我嗤笑一声，"九皇子府里的人，还能怎么移动？" 王越眼神一凛，凑得更近："Not just anyone. The Imperial Library's chief librarian, old Mister Liu, he's visiting.带上了一本残卷。" 残卷？我的目光骤然一凝。帝国图书馆里的东西，可都是 controlled by the Crown. 谁能让李老头离开图书馆，还带东西出来？ "说说看，"我放下茶杯，"怎么个 move 法？" 王越咽了口唾沫，神秘兮兮地说："Liu's old rival, Prince Sheng's men are planning to snatch the scroll. We can't let that happen." "所以，"我挑眉，"你叫我帮忙？" 王越点头哈腰："Yeah, boss! Just need your muscle tonight. The Prince's men have guards posted around the library. But if you show up, they'll think it's a setup, back off." 这小子是想让我当替罪羊？我心里冷笑，但面上不动声色："行啊，什么时候？" "Tonight, around midnight. They're using the old sewer entrance to the library." 午夜，下水道入口。王越这小子，手脚倒挺干净。我点点头，"备马。" 王越眼睛一亮，"Boss is the best! Need anything else?"
