Jiang Rouyun walked out of the small dilapidated house and walked to the barren and ruined courtyard, and saw two men, one thin and one fat, standing under the plum tree with branches. The thin taller, dressed in a blue-gray, crumpled cotton suit, with a thin face and a cloudy vulture in his eyes, was her father Jiang Tan. Humpty Dumpty, who stood beside him and was slightly decently dressed, was the leader of the group that had been invited today.

The cold wind whistled from time to time, and in the dark, the two of them trembled non-stop, but they didn't dare to stomp their feet to warm up, and they were paying attention to the movement outside the yard, listening to the distant neat footsteps outside, and their hearts were always hanging there.

"I said that it is appropriate to go out of the city as soon as possible, it is good now, the whole city is under martial law, and I will find it later. Humpty Dumpty looked up at the wall and couldn't help but grumble. He really felt a little unlucky, obviously said that he would tie up a child of a rich family to ransom, who knew that he had provoked the powerful, look at the Praetorian Guards outside, maybe it has a lot to do with today's saints, at this moment he really wants to leave, but the silver has not yet arrived, he can't get the silver, he can't explain to the men waiting in the house.

Jiang Qin was silent, only turned his head and squinted at Humpty Dumpty, and at this time, he heard a low voice not far away.

"The so-called 'real is false, virtual is real', Rouyun believes that at this time, those people would never have thought that we were still in Kyoto City, and this is the safest place. Jiang Rouyun looked confident and approached without hurry. This small mansion that has been uninhabited for a long time is located in a remote and inconspicuous part of Kyoto City, but it took her a lot of effort to find a wonderful hiding place. She had this self-confidence, and ordinary people would never have thought that they would be so bold to hide here. And when they searched one household after another, I was afraid that by then, they would have already gotten the money and left.

Jiang Qin saw the thin body approaching step by step, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. This daughter is indeed a smart person, and she is thoughtful in many places, for example, this time she said that she would hire someone, and she must not come forward by herself, so that even if she finds it in the future, she can get out. It's just that no matter how smart it is, it's still a money-losing product in the end.

Humpty Dumpty heard Jiang Rouyun say this, and his heart was a little relieved, but he still couldn't help but mutter: "Who knows if it will be so unlucky." As he spoke, he turned around and glanced at the dilapidated room behind the little girl, and then his eyes fell on her again, and said impatiently, "Your heart is too soft, that girl will die anyway, why bother sending her steamed buns to eat?"

Is her heart too soft?

Jiang Rouyun sneered in her heart, her eyes turned cold, but there was always a soft smile on her face, she raised her eyes and glanced at the two people standing there, and slowly spoke: "Oh, speaking of that little girl, I still have something to say." ”

As she spoke, the smile on her face became even stronger, and there was a hint of hideousness in her eyes.

……

And in this room, in the dark and cold room, Su Xun was chewing steamed buns, thinking that this group of people was also big-hearted, so they only threw her in the house, but did not tie her up, do you really think she can't escape?

Thinking to herself, she crouched down and looked out through the hole under the wooden door with big eyes, trying to figure out where she was, but no matter how she looked, she could only vaguely see a mottled corner.

stretched out his little meat hand and pushed it, and realized that it should be locked outside, and he couldn't push it at all.

Su Xun sighed secretly, slowly stood up, and glanced around again, but it was dark all around, where could he see things clearly?

Is there really no way to escape?

At this moment, there is a cold wind blowing in from time to time, and she is only wearing an ordinary light-colored jacket, where can she withstand such a cold, her little body can't help but tremble, only to feel that the little face is cold, and the little meat hand is about to move the steamed bun, it is not like her own.

Su Xun stuffed the remaining half of the steamed bun into his arms, sighed at his hand, and walked into the house tremblingly.

When she woke up just now, she was lying on a pile of hay, although her delicate skin was a little itchy and uncomfortable to touch the rough hay, but at the moment, she couldn't pay so much attention to it for warmth.

Su Xun walked over, his little body shrank in the haystack, and he still couldn't help but tremble, not only that, but his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he was sleepy. But right now, where is the time to sleep, Su Xun tried hard to open her eyes wide, forcing herself to stay awake, but uncontrollably, her small body was not controlled at all, and a burst of sleepiness hit, but she still slowly closed her eyes.

I don't know how long I slept, Su Xun suddenly felt that her whole body was very hot, which made her little brows frown, but at this time, she heard a scream outside, which made her a little sober, but her head was groggy and her eyelids were heavy, and she couldn't open it at all, only to hear the door suddenly kicked open, and then she smelled a familiar smell.

Xiao Rui looked at the messy haystack, the little meat ball was lying in the middle, his heart was stagnant, and he hurriedly ran over. When I got to the neighborhood, I saw that the little meat ball seemed to have no scars all over her body, and her eyes were closed at the moment, as if she was sleeping soundly, and her tense face couldn't help but loosen, so she leaned over and gently hugged her, but the next moment, these eyes turned cold in an instant.

The small lump of flesh in his arms seemed to be unscathed, but his whole body was very hot, and he was obviously frozen and feverish.

Su Xun struggled to open her eyes in a daze, and when she saw the familiar face, she felt that she should be dreaming, she pursed her lips, and subconsciously called his name: "Xiao Rui?" Then without waiting for anyone to reply, she felt itchy in her throat, and coughed a few times uncontrollably.

"Hmm. Xiao Rui replied lightly, hugged the little body tightly with one hand, and untied the strap with the other hand trembling slightly, took off the crimson soft fur cloak behind him, and wrapped the little man tightly.

Su Xun's whole body was burned badly, his consciousness was a little confused, he felt that his body was wrapped, but it was a little uncomfortable, his small body twisted restlessly, frowned, and shouted a few "It's so hot", and the little meat hand kept trying to stretch out, but it was tightly clumped, and it couldn't use any strength.

"Good, Yuanyuan ....... Xiao Rui looked at the little meat ball in his arms, his eyes were soft, and while comforting, he walked out quickly.

In the courtyard outside, under the dim torches, a row of men in black were standing with a bright knife in their hands, and under their knives, kneeling six trembling men, their faces full of despair and horror, begging for mercy, but they were dumbfounded, and could not say a word. On their side, Jiang Rouyun also knelt there, she straightened her thin waist and forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart, but she was unwilling.

"Master, these people ......" One of the men in black stepped forward and lowered his head to ask, his voice hoarse and sharp. And before he finished speaking, he heard the young man say in an extremely bland voice, "Kill, leave no one." Then, he glanced at Jiang Rouyun coldly, and then ordered, "She, throw her into the mountains to feed the wolves." ”

After speaking, I saw the young man carefully holding the little man in his hand, without looking back, and walking out hurriedly.

Behind him, with a hoarse "yes", the row of black-clothed people raised their knives and fell, and their hands were clean, and their heads rolled to the ground one after another. Blood splashed on Jiang Rouyun's face, her face was pale, her almond eyes widened, she couldn't believe the qiē in front of her, and watching the man in black approach step by step, her straight body finally softened, shaking her head and trembling, her eyes were full of fear.

……

Tao saw his daughter half an hour later, and the prince of Xu had already sent someone to inform him, and he had rescued him. But as long as she didn't see her daughter for a moment, she was uneasy, so she waited in the front hall, waiting for her daughter to come back with her two sons.

When the young man appeared in front of him with the little man in his arms, Tao stood up suddenly, ran over, his beautiful eyes were red, and took his daughter from Xiao Rui's arms, but when he felt that her body was slightly hot, the tears in his eyes immediately fell down, and he kept muttering in his mouth: "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan......" But he couldn't say anything else.

“…… Yuan Yuan is okay, right?" Su Jueyuan felt guilty, he ran over with his mother and eldest brother, but he only dared to stand behind the eldest brother, lifted his feet and looked at his sister, and saw that her eyes were closed, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, I just asked Imperial Doctor Xu to see Yuan Yuan, he is freezing and feverish, and he has been fed medicine, so it should be fine. At this time, Xiao Rui's face was unwavering, he replied lightly, and as he spoke, he ordered the entourage behind him to bring a few packets of medicine and handed them to Su Jueze on the side, "There are still a few pairs of this medicine in case of emergency." "I saw that the little guy was really burning badly, and I was afraid that he couldn't delay, so I sent someone back to the Rongguo Mansion first, and then went directly to the Taiyi Mansion.

"Auntie, you better take Yuanyuan back to the house to rest first. Xiao Rui finished handing over the medicine, glanced at Tao who was holding Su Xun, and said softly.

When Tao heard this, he relieved himself, realized that he was a little out of control, wiped his tears, bowed his head slightly towards Xiao Rui, and walked towards Yufu Courtyard with his daughter in his arms.

Su Jueyuan also wanted to follow, but in the end he felt that it was not good to face his sister, he lowered his eyes lonely, stood in the front hall, pretended to look at Xiao Rui relaxedly, as if he remembered something, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiaobai, how did you find Yuanyuan in such a short time?" Since Xiao Rui left the house, just an hour, news came that Yuanyuan had been found.

Xiao Rui didn't answer, but took out the letter, handed it to Su Jueyuan, and said, "See for yourself." And he walked out slowly.

Su Jueyuan was puzzled, opened the letter, flipped through it a few times, and didn't see any clues, he frowned, and was about to run out to chase Xiao Rui to ask clearly, when he heard someone behind him say in a calm tone, "The place where Meixiang is stained with ashes is the hiding place." ”

It was Su Yingzheng who spoke, and he actually saw that there was a faint layer of gray stains on the back of this letterhead, and when you smell it carefully, there is a very faint and almost unsmellable fragrance of plum blossoms, which means that the place where the writer is located is very likely to be in a deserted house with plum blossoms.

And the handwriting, a little familiar......
