Chapter Twenty-Seven: Night Attack
Qin E bought a cart full of things, which surprised Lao Yangtou. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Qin E told him that this was a New Year's gift for Aunt Mei, and this made the matter come to an end.
At night, the moon was as cold as water, Qin E was lying on the bed, very excited about having money, and thinking about Shen and others, tossing and turning for a while, unable to sleep.
The drum of the third watch was beaten outside, and Qin E was silently counting the sheep towards the inside of the bed, and suddenly there was an inexplicable feeling, as if she was being stared at.
Thinking together, suddenly a stirring spirit fell asleep. slowed down his breathing, pricked up his ears to carefully discern it, but listened to a humane: "Since you are awake, get up and talk?"
Qin E turned over and sat up, reached under the pillow and grabbed a small dagger, glared at the black shadow sitting opposite, and said, "Who are you?"
The man laughed, "We met during the day, and we didn't recognize each other so soon?"
Qin E was stunned, and then realized that the voice was very familiar.
"Li Lu?"
Li Lu chuckled, leaned forward slightly, and said, "It turns out that the little brother is a girl." ”
Qin E took out a dagger and walked it to his side. "What does it matter if it's a man or a woman?"
"Naturally, it has a relationship, I have always been very polite to the girl's family. ”
Qin E said: "Since you know that I am a girl's family, it is not appropriate for the young owner to be here so late, right?"
Li Lu smiled: "What's the hurry, I still want to chat with you." In order to come and see you, but it took me a lot of effort, how can I just leave. ”
Is this really the humble gentleman Li Lu who won the capital in his previous life?
Qin E said angrily: "Men and women don't kiss, the young owner touched my room in the middle of the night and ruined my reputation, it's really not a gentleman's doing." ”
Li Lu suddenly stretched out his index finger to block her lips: "Shhh, don't make a sound." Before he could finish speaking, he grabbed her waist and twisted onto the roof.
Qin E was startled, and hurriedly hugged Li Lu's arm, causing him to chuckle. Qin E hurriedly let go of her hand, but she almost fell off the roof, so she had to hold him tightly again.
Li Lu couldn't stop laughing, Qin E moved her liver fire, raised her head and said angrily: "Li Lu, what are you going to do?"
Under the moonlight, Qin E's apricot eyes widened, shy and angry, and Li Lu was stunned.
At that moment, there was a soft knock in the doorway, and a thin wisp of smoke poured into the room through the crack in the door.
Qin E didn't care about tearing up with him, and lowered her head to stare at the movement in the room.
I saw that the bolt of the door was opened three or two times, and two figures, one tall and one short, rushed in from the outside. One stood guard at the door, and the other went straight to her baggage.
I saw the short man rummaging around, and complained, "Why is there nothing?"
The tall man guarding the door said, "It must be hidden on her, go to the bed and search it." ”
The short man hesitated. "Don't let her wake up and make a fuss. ”
The tall man said confidently: "Don't worry, this smoke is no matter how easy it is, even if you stab her with a knife, she won't wake up." ”
"Really?" the short man laughed a few times and said, "If that's the case, then wouldn't we be able to ......"
The tall man interrupted him impatiently: "It's just a hairy girl who hasn't grown, what's good." Hurry up and get the money, go to Yihong Mansion and I'll find you the most popular sister. ”
The short man said dissatisfiedly: "What do you know, do you know who she is? She is the eldest lady of the Qin family in the capital, and she is a real famous lady, how can this be compared to your good friends?"
The tall man didn't understand anything else, but the famous lady understood, and she was interested, and said in a lewd voice: "Miss Qianjin hasn't touched it, I don't know what it tastes like?"
The two laughed and went to the bed together.
"Hey, why is there no one?"
"Did you run away?"
The two were still surprised, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in the back of their heads, and they both fell to the ground.
Li Lu and Qin E fell from the roof, Qin E's feet were soft, and the whole person fell to the ground, and was quickly pulled by Li Lu's eyes.
Li Lu felt Qin E trembling, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's just two thieves, it's fine." ”
Qin E's teeth chattered, hugged her shoulders and closed her eyes and said nothing.
Everything just now made her suddenly remember the scene when she was fed medicine by the Fang family and wantonly humiliated by the Jing'an Hou Mansion. The helplessness that called heaven and earth inspiritual, the humiliation of losing dignity and being treated as a plaything, made her extremely afraid and hateful.
Li Lu lit the oil lamp, stuffed the two people on the ground under the bed like rags, one in each hand, and walked back to Qin E.
Seeing that she was wearing a single dress, much thinner and smaller than she had seen during the day, and very pitiful, he took off her fluffed shoulders and put them on her, patted her lightly on the back and said, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”
Feeling the warmth on her body, Qin E looked up and saw that under the light, Li Lu looked calm and had gentle eyebrows.
Qin E lowered her head and said, "Thank you Shaodong for coming to the rescue." ”
Li Lu saw that although her expression gradually softened, he relieved his heart and muttered: "I was calling me Li Lu angrily just now, but now I am obedient." ”
Qin E pursed her lips and chuckled, and Li Lu also rejoiced when she saw it.
"What they just said, but is it true? Are you really the young lady of the Qin family in the capital? That old ancestor is the only Qin family with three yuan and the first rank since the founding of the country?"
Qin E no longer hid it from him, nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
This time it was Li Lu's turn to be surprised. "Since you are Miss Qinfu, how did you come here?"
"My mother was framed and sent to the old house in Liaodong by the family to think about it behind closed doors. I came here with my mother, and because my life was poor, I secretly came to the provincial capital to earn some money to go back. ”
Qin E said a few words, but Li Lu knew that it must be twists and turns, full of hardships, and he felt a lot of pity when he looked at her again.
Qin E sensitively captured his changes and said, "You don't have to feel sorry for me, I can stay with my mother, I am already very satisfied." It's just that life is a little harder, and if you have hands and feet, you won't starve to death. Didn't you make a lot of money today?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Li Lu couldn't help but think of Hou Da's shopkeeper.
As soon as Qin E left, the shopkeeper apologized to him.
"Entrusted by the deceased, let me take care of her. I was afraid that she would not accept my money, so I had to make this decision and lend your hand to help her. There was a lot of offense just now, please don't mind, I am willing to buy this mushroom for 1,000 taels. ”
Li Lu had already seen that the shopkeeper Hou was helping her knock on her own bamboo pole, if someone else dared to do it to him, he would definitely not let that person go. But the rules of Fuyuan Building are very strict, but the shopkeeper Hou broke the rules and stood up for her, which made him very puzzled.
Hou Da's explanation solved his doubts. Naturally, the things did not let the shopkeeper Hou pay for them, a few hundred taels of silver, just to buy a lively look.
However, Qin E can even ask the shopkeeper Hou to move, which makes him very curious.
Thinking of the martial arts master who followed him all the way, and his identity was revealed in one word, Li Lu's curiosity became stronger and stronger.
Therefore, when the guards told him that someone wanted to plot against Qin E, he couldn't help but let the guards lure the master who followed her away and came to take a look in person.
As a result, he really discovered that there was something inside.
"You came here so late, you wouldn't be reluctant to give up the eight hundred taels of silver, right?"
Li Luzheng was wandering out of the world, and was suddenly asked by Qin E, and said angrily: "My young owner of Hui'an Commercial Bank, will he care about just eight hundred taels of silver?"
"Then why are you coming to me?" Qin E looked like a disciple.
Li Lu's words turned around in his stomach a few times, but he still swallowed. He promised that the shopkeeper Hou would not let her know, so he naturally had to keep his promise.
"What else can I do, it's not that I found that someone has been following you, and I don't feel comfortable coming over to take a look. ”
This is true, Qin E has no argument.
Li Lu was afraid that she would ask questions indiscriminately, so he asked first, "Do you know these two people?"
Qin E then remembered that these two people knew everything about themselves, and her heart suddenly changed, and she begged Li Ludao: "Please drag the two of them out, I'll take a closer look." ”
Li Luxuan dragged the two out from under the bed with dignity, patted the ash on his body and said, "The two thieves actually have the order to let the master do it." ”
Qin E smiled when she heard this: "There is Lao Shaodong's family." With that, he raised the lamp to the two of them and looked at them carefully.
