After a long silence, one of them finally sighed and said, "I hope everything goes well! ”

While they were drinking and chatting, a dark shadow flashed silently through the narrow alley like a ghost. His movements were extremely fast, and the shadow of the melted snow on the ground reflected a gray-black shadow, which disappeared in an instant.

The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of killing, but I don't know who is the lucky one who wins in the end!

The night breeze was blowing, the room was warm, and the small red clay stove on the side was still warm with the best daughter red. Hua Lianyue had a pile of bitten messy duck bones in her hand, she was half-paralyzed on the chair, caressing her round little belly, and her expression was comfortable and satisfied. It feels so good to be full!

Suddenly, she saw that the county lord of Huining was still clean in front of her, and it seemed that she had not eaten anything except for the glass of wine that Master Gao had poured himself. Hua Lianyue straightened her waist again, kindly helped her with a bowl of vegetables, and urged enthusiastically: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, only when your stomach is full will you have strength." Besides, the food here is good, and the taste is no worse than the princess's mansion. ”

Staring at the various dishes that almost popped up in front of him, the county lord of Huining had a strange look in his expression. After half a ring, he shook his head and said timidly: "I'm not hungry!"

"How can you not be hungry!" Hua Lianyue's eyes rolled, scooped up a bowl of osmanthus stuffed balls, put them in front of her, and said with a smile: "Then drink a bowl of soup and eat a round of balls, don't worry, I just tasted one, soft and sweet, not sticky to my teeth at all." ”

The lord of Huining County saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he picked up the spoon and slowly stirred it in the bowl, but he was not in a hurry to send it to his mouth.

Hua Lianyue squinted at her for a while, suddenly sneered, and said, "Lord Huining, but I'm worried that there is a forgotten soul in it?" Don't worry, I've tasted them one by one, only the fragrant duck has been forgotten and scattered, and the rest of the dishes are clean, and there is nothing unsightly." ”

Huo Ran, the county lord of Huining, looked up at her, his eyes, which were originally timid, gradually became extremely sharp, and he still looked a little scared. The senior master at the top was not as surprised as the county lord of Huining, but nodded solemnly and said, "The table is full of only the fragrant duck with a strong taste, which can cover the unique smell of forgetting the soul." Then he stared at Hua Lianyue with interest, and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite bold, knowing that there was a forgotten soul in it, and you dared to eat it whole." ”

Hua Lianyue grinned, picked the gap between her teeth with duck bones, and then said slowly: "This duck tastes good, you don't dare to eat it if you forget your soul, you can only wrap it up alone, otherwise it will be a waste." ”

This time, Master Ren was well-informed, and he twitched the corners of his eyes, unable to speak.

The county lord of Huining suddenly clapped her hands, she stood up, looked at Hua Lianyue condescendingly, and sneered: "I didn't hide this, I underestimated the enemy before." Mrs. Xianwang deserves to be Mrs. Xianwang, and today really impresses me. ”

"It's easy to say!" Hua Lianyue smiled and hugged her fists, and said, "Lord Huining is what impresses me." As the county lord who enjoys the court's fortunes, you actually colluded with the water bandits in Qingfeng Village to do the tricks of these captives tearing up tickets. I'm not afraid that after the world knows, your Xie family's reputation for hundreds of years will no longer be able to be saved. ”

The county lord of Huining smiled contemptuously and said, "You don't have to worry about this, anyway, no one in this room can spread these words!" It's just that she saw that Hua Lianyue was still sitting steadily, without the slightest hint of panic, and her heart couldn't help but move, and she asked, "When did you know?"

"I don't believe that the county lord of Huining, who escorts a bunch of New Year's gifts into Beijing alone every year, will be such a timid little white rabbit. Hua Lianyue chuckled and continued: "Actually, your performance in the princess's mansion today was too deliberate, and there were flaws everywhere, but what made me finally sure was that in the carriage before, the people outside said that there were two fugitive slaves running away from the Gao Ye's mansion. ”

Qingfeng Village was coming for her, but why did she know in advance that she would capture two fugitive slaves? Naturally, one of them was problematic. Hua Lianyue didn't want to go into details, the experience of catching fast back then made her develop the habit of refusing to let go of some clues. The county lord of Huining thought that the disguise was perfect, but she didn't know that in her eyes, there were flaws everywhere.

The county lord of Huining originally thought that he was one level higher than Hua Lianyue regardless of his background, appearance, and intelligence, but he didn't expect the reality to slap her hard. At this moment, apart from sneering, he couldn't even say half a word. After half a ring, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Even if you are as careful as a hair, what if you are extremely smart! Now that you are in our hands, you are a complete loser, what qualifications do you have to talk about here." ”

After speaking, she looked sideways at the master who seemed to be watching the play, and said dissatisfiedly: "You Qingfeng Village has accepted my silver, so you should do everything." Now that Madame Xianwang has seen through our plan, please keep her in check. Even if it's torture, we have to get what she has in her mouth. ”

Gao Ye didn't move, but Hua Lianyue was shaking her head: tonight she made it clear that she knew that there were tigers in the mountains and favored Tiger Mountain, and she Huining and Liu Ling were calculating step by step, and she Hua Lianyue would naturally see the moves. If she put herself in just to test Hui Ning's reality, she would be too stupid.

Hui Ning didn't understand this truth, but Gao Ye, as an old Jianghu, was already very clear.

The snow outside suddenly became heavier, and flakes of snow fell from the dark sky, and in a short time, the green tile roof of the small courtyard was dyed white. If you look closely, you can see that there are many people crawling quietly on the original green tile roof. Their clothes were originally the same color as the green tiles, but now they are dyed white by the snow, like snowmen carefully piled up.

Suddenly, I heard a crisp cup shattering below, and all the original snow-sculpture-like figures moved, broken tiles splashed everywhere, remnants of snow fell, and several figures jumped down, firmly protecting Hua Lianyue.

The county lord of Huining was already so shocked that her face was bloodless, and this time she was really trembling. Because the door was pushed open by someone, it was Liu Hui, who was wearing a dark cloak and was handsome and gloomy with a dark face.

Liu Hui was extremely annoyed in his heart, knowing that the eldest princess's banquet must be strange, he also specially ordered the secret guard to protect Hua Lianyue. I didn't expect the bandits in Qingfeng Village to be so bold that they dared to break into the princess's mansion to take people. Pointed at by dozens of sharp green bamboo arrows, the secret guards were afraid of injuring the master mother by mistake, so they did not show up rashly. However, they still secretly followed Gao Ye's carriage.

After learning that Hua Lianyue was being held hostage, Liu Hui, who was anxious, got the news from them, and immediately transferred all the horses of Fengwei to surround this small courtyard where the water bandits were hiding in the darkness of the night. Of course, he also asked the secret guard to secretly leave an inconspicuous sign in the corner of the wall, and when Hua Lianyue saw these marks, she naturally knew that Liu Hui's people had arrived, so she would expose the false face of the county lord of Huining.

Shaking off the big red feather satin cloak in his hand and covering Hua Lianyue's shoulder, Liu Hui shouted murderously: "Correct all the bandits in the courtyard on the spot, and leave no one behind!"

Gao Ye's expression moved, and he raised his foot and kicked the chair under his feet, and the chair flew towards the two palace guards blocking the door with a fierce wind. The palace guards raised their swords and slashed open the chairs that flew in front of them.

Gao Ye took advantage of this moment's kung fu, flew forward, grabbed the stunned county lord of Huining, and grabbed her white neck with his right hand like a hook. He said coldly: "If you don't want this county lord to die, make way for me." ”

The county lord of Huining screamed in horror: "Lord Xian, save me!"

Liu Hui narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. He didn't pay attention to Hui Ning, and only said to Gao Ye: "Threaten me with a vicious woman who spends 100,000 taels of silver to buy my wife's hands and feet, I'm afraid you'll be dizzy!"

Gao Ye's expression was stunned, and then he shook his head helplessly: "I didn't expect you to even know this!"

Liu Hui hooked his lips and smiled, and said slowly: "I didn't know it originally, but now it's very certain." ”

Master Gao felt that the county lord of Huining in his hand was shaking, and he almost fainted. He also couldn't laugh or cry, only shook his head and said: "You are really husband and wife, the same insidious and cunning, the same unscrupulous." My Qingfeng Village was planted in your hands twice, but it is not wronged. But......" He tightened his fingers on the neck of the county lord of Huining, and said subtly: "You can not care about the life of the county lord of the dynasty, I don't believe that your subordinates dare not care......"

Before the words fell, he saw Liu Hui wave his hand and shouted: "Do it!" The secret guards who were already ready to attack immediately besieged it, and they really didn't care about the county lord of Huining in his hand.

Liu Hui is a character who must be revenged, and when he knew that someone wanted to secretly disadvantage Hua Lianyue, he had already moved to kill. He has never believed in forgiving and forgiving, and he will never repay grievances with virtue. He only knew that whoever dared to hurt a hair of her hair would have to pay it with blood. What's more, this Huining County Lord has repeatedly been unfavorable to them, and he has long exhausted Liu Hui's little patience.

The county lord of Huining's face turned pale, and he tightened his fingers resentfully, and his sharp nails almost buttoned through the sleeves of the master. Gao Ye's face gradually became solemn, he has been showing calm and leisure, that is, with the idea of holding the county lord of Huining hostage to get out, I didn't expect this virtuous prince in front of him to be so ruthless, look at this posture seems to have the intention of removing the county lord of Huining by his hand.

When he took a deep breath, two swords and three knives had already attacked in front of him. Gao Ye no longer hesitated, let out a loud shout, and pushed the Huining County Lord in his hand towards the tip of the oncoming knife, and he lifted his robe, and with this meat shield, he rushed towards the door like a meteor.

He saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to take the opportunity to escape. Unexpectedly, he jumped out of the door, and a sharp arrow with white feathers whistled towards him. He reacted very quickly, and immediately fell backwards, and was able to dodge, but the arrow broke his jade crown of hair. In the growing snow, there were a few long strands of broken hair, whirling slowly and falling in mid-air.

Gao Ye was half-draped in messy hair, entangled with Feng Qi and the others. Although he came from a reckless background, he hadn't been hunted down like this for a long time. Feng Qi has a fire in his heart, it is the second time that his mother has been kidnapped in front of his eyes, this time if he can't take down the bandit leader, he will have no face to claim to be the seventh in Feng Wei.

So this battle was unusually fierce and thrilling.

In the house, the county lord of Huining sat on the ground in embarrassment, and blood was gushing out of her shoulder sockets on both sides. Although Liu Hui spoke, the secret guards still cared about her identity, and the sword head avoided her vital point, but each left a heavy blow on her shoulder.

Hua Lianyue wrapped the cloak on her body tightly, looked at her condescendingly, and said: "Harming others does not help but harm yourself, you should remember this lesson for a lifetime." ”

The county lord of Huining had a pale face, but he raised his head angrily, and said stubbornly: "I am the lord of the three-grade county, you are just a humble concubine, and you haven't even fought for a side concubine, why should you teach me a lesson." ”

Before Hua Lianyue could speak, Liu Hui's eyes had narrowed, he was already dissatisfied with Huining's escape to death, and when he saw that she was unrepentant, he still spoke disrespectfully to Hua Lianyue. Of course, he would not kill her with his own hands and leave a handle, but only instructed the secret guards: "The county lord colluded with the water bandits, intending to murder the family members of the royal mansion, and did not take her down and send her to the Zongren Mansion for questioning." ”

"Liu Hui, you dare to ......." The county lord of Huining screamed and wanted to get up, but he fell to the ground in embarrassment. She struggled like a maggot for a moment, and suddenly screamed in horror, "My hand, why can't my hand use its strength?"

Hua Lianyue saw that her little face was already extremely gray, and the horror in her eyes didn't seem to be fake, so she couldn't help but move in her heart, and took a few steps in front of her. The momentum of the county lord of Huining's previous strong support was gone, she moved her feet and retracted back, while screaming: "You, you get out, don't get close to me, don't get close to me......." Unfortunately, her hands couldn't use her strength at this moment, and there was no way to do anything but scold.

Hua Lianyue had already come to her, squatted down, ignored her shouting, reached out and grabbed her soft arm, and moved left and right a few times. He grabbed her other arm and did the same.

After half a ring, she said to the county lord of Huining: "Mourn! You have injured your muscles and bones, and your arms are afraid that they will be useless." ”

Lord Huining's eyes were about to pop out, she was panting for breath, but tears gradually soaked her cheeks. She suddenly screamed: "I don't dare, I don't dare anymore, I apologize to you, let me go, let me go, I don't want to go to the Zongren Mansion, I don't want to lose my hands, woo woo......"

Hua Lianyue shook her head, stood up and returned to Liu Hui. Liu Hui's expression did not move, and he only waved his hand to the dark guard, and the county lord of Huining, who was screaming uncontrollably, was still dragged out. She has been struggling, but these secret guards will not pity the fragrance and jade, where can she break free.

In the snow, despair made Hui Ning feel that the blood in her whole body seemed to be stagnant, and her scattered consciousness gradually became blurred. The snowflakes in the sky seemed to be swirling and magnified in front of her eyes, and her chest was like a heavy rock. In the savage dragging, she couldn't support it after all, her head tilted, and she completely fainted.

Feng Qi passed by Hui Ning indifferently, he entered the house, hugged his fist at Liu Hui, and said, "Lord Wang, there are a total of twenty-seven bandits hidden inside and outside this courtyard, eighteen of them were shot, and eight of them were captured alive. ”

Liu Hui frowned and said, "What about the bandit leader?"

Feng Qi showed a look of shame, and said hatefully: "The bandit leader has run away!"
