"Yao Lao...... He's gone. ”

As soon as Han Zitong's words fell, he saw Pei Yuanxiu's fingertips, and the soup bowl fell out of his hand, fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered.

This voice is not loud, but in such a night, among the three people who were originally silent, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Han Zitong was almost so startled that he almost jumped up, and Pei Yuanxiu also changed his face with his usual calm attitude, and raised his head to look at her: "What did you say?" ”

Han Zitong's voice obviously added a little trembling: "The news just came, Yao Lao is gone." ”

"How could it be gone?"

"Listen to them, they were all fine before, and he didn't have anything abnormal. One day, when the next person went to invite him in the morning, the house was empty, and the man was gone. ”

"Did you send someone to find it?"

"I searched for it, I searched all over Jinling, and I almost crossed the river to find it, but there was no trace at all."

"......" Pei Yuanxiu frowned: "Didn't I explain it very clearly before I left, so that they should be optimistic about Yao Lao no matter what?!" ”

"They all do this," Han Zitong said eagerly: "It's just that the old man is still an elder after all, and they don't dare to do more, but the house and the house have sent additional people, originally thought it was foolproof, but he didn't expect that he suddenly-"

“……”

This time, Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak.

And Han Zitong took another tentative step in, and said softly: "Yuan Xiu, do you say that Yao Lao is likely to be arrested?" ”

"......" His breathing sank, as if he didn't want to speak anymore, but he looked up at Han Zitong eagerly, and cautiously, as if he was afraid that it would make him angry, he finally sighed and said, "How is it possible." He has also had so much power in Jinling for so many years, and he lives in our mansion, who has the ability to go to Jinling Mansion to arrest him? ”

"So, how's he-"

“……”

Suddenly, there was a kind of silence in the room, and Pei Yuanxiu slowly raised his head and looked at me.

I sat calmly in front of him.

Since Han Zitong rushed in to report the news just now, I have always been the quietest, even the calmest.

At this time, their eyes looked at me, and I didn't make any movement, just looked at him lightly.

Han Zitong seemed to feel something, and as if he didn't understand at all, he just stood at the door and looked at us: "Yuan Xiu...... What's wrong? ”

Pei Yuanxiu looked at me for a while, and then said to the two maids on both sides who were originally going to give us vegetables and serve us, "You go out first." ”

"Yes, Childe."

The two maids responded, and quickly retreated, Han Zitong stood at the door, because Pei Yuanxiu's words did not mention her, so she did not leave, but continued to stand at the door, looking at the two of us with a slight frown.

Then, I heard a long sigh from the person sitting across from me.

He said, "It's you." ”

This sentence is not an inquiry, nor is there a doubt.

Rather, it was with calmness, a calmness that had already accepted what had happened.

I looked up at him, "What? ”

He said, "It's you." ”

This sentence, with a little heaviness, is even more determined.

I still didn't say a word, as if what he said was not my business at all, but Han Zitong, who was standing at the door, was obviously a little unstable, her breathing became rapid and heavy, and she looked at Pei Yuanxiu in disbelief: "Yuanxiu, what are you talking about?!" ”

“……”

"You say, it's her—"

As she spoke, she looked at me in surprise and subconsciously shook her head: "How is it possible." ”

Pei Yuanxiu ignored her, just looked at me intently, and I smiled faintly: "This, you have wronged me." ”

“……”

"I was kidnapped by you, and I have been locked up in your hands all along."

“……”

"You let me go, and I can go; You won't let me move, I won't even move for half a minute. ”

“……”

"I can't even guarantee my own freedom, how can I give freedom to an old man who is thousands of miles away, Jinling?"

“……”

"You're kidding, but it's a little too big."

Listening to my words, Han Zitong also nodded lightly, and said to Pei Yuanxiu: "Yes, Yuanxiu, she has always been watched by someone I sent, and her actions are also under our control." ”

Hearing this, Pei Yuanxiu's eyes revealed a little coolness.

He said slowly: "Her actions are not under our control. ”

“……”

"Our actions are under her control."

“…… What the?! ”

Han Zitong couldn't believe his ears, and looked at him with wide eyes in shock: "How is it possible?" Didn't you get her out of that ancestral hall? She, she is our captive, how can she control our actions? ”

“……”

Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak immediately, but frowned, but this time the frown was completely different from the frown when he encountered the news he didn't want to hear before, but it seemed to be in some pain, I obviously felt that his breathing was heavy, and his chest was rising and falling violently, maybe it was something that he had ignored in the past few days, and the wound on his chest once again showed its storage.

Sure enough, he lowered his head, reached out and slowly covered his chest, and I watched a lot of beads of sweat appear on his forehead, and after a while, he seemed to barely survive the sharp pain, and then looked up at me.

He said, "Indeed, I took you out." ”

“……”

"But actually, you asked me to take you away."

"......" I looked at him faintly, without even blinking my eyes.

Han Zitong stood next to him and was even more puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Pei Yuanxiu didn't look at her, a pair of deep eyes stared straight into my eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You guessed that I might be in the Yan family ancestral hall, and you also brought a knife in, but except for the Yan Ruoyu at the door, you didn't let anyone follow you to the ancestral hall to protect your safety." ”

“……”

"I should be able to imagine it."

“……”

"I should be able to think of it."

When he said this, he repeated it again, his tone became a little heavier, and a trace of remorse flashed in his eyes.

I looked at him with raised eyebrows, and when I didn't move, I saw his hand on his chest straining slightly: "But at that time, I didn't think of this - you didn't give me such time." ”

This time, I didn't deny it again, just lightly hooked the corners of my lips.

How much, that's just the default.

That's right, I didn't give him time to think about it.

Before entering the ancestral hall, I had already told myself that with my ordinary means, with his scheming city, and his astuteness, as long as he could think calmly, it would be difficult for me to win him; As long as he was given a little time, he could figure out a lot of things, and he would see through a lot of plans - so I didn't give him time.

After I entered the ancestral hall, I quickly pushed the relationship and atmosphere between the two of us to the point of decisiveness, and if I went down, it would kill him; And the finger he pressed on the back of my head may also put me in a stupid situation forever, his affection makes it impossible for him to calm down, and the choice between the two of us makes him have no time to think carefully.

So, he "kidnapped" me.

"That Yan Ruoyu," he said, "I didn't come to accompany you and protect you, but to prevent the Yan family's people from entering the ancestral hall for you." ”

At this time, I naturally nodded honestly.

The inexplicable look on Han Zitong's face became even heavier.

She said suspiciously: "Block? ”

"That's right," Pei Yuanxiu nodded lightly: "She entered the Yan family ancestral hall to place the spiritual position, although it is something that has been recognized by the entire Yan family, but if she stays too long, other people will inevitably suspect that she let that Yan Ruoyu stand at the door, not to protect her safety, but to delay the time of those people as much as possible when other people in the Yan family come to ask." ”

"Procrastinating for time? What are they delaying for? ”

"So that I can take her away."

“……！”

Han Zitong gasped and looked at me with an expression of disbelief, at this time I was embarrassed to be exposed, but when I met her surprised gaze, I lowered my eyelids lightly.

Pei Yuanxiu also looked at her, and his eyes became heavier and heavier: "Do you remember, I told you a thousand times before arranging everything, and before I wake up, you can't act rashly." ”

“……”

"But you took her on board before I woke up."

Han Zitong hurriedly pleaded: "That's because she wants to escape!" ”

“……”

"Originally, our whereabouts were not discovered, and the Yan family did not send many people to look for her, I planned to listen to you and wait until you woke up to make plans. But she's—she's so cunning, if I hadn't found out and caught her back that time, she might have fled. ”

“……”

This time, Pei Yuanxiu's eyebrows, the hanging needle lines were a little deeper.

After being silent for a while, he sighed lightly and said, "If she really wants to escape, you won't be able to catch her." ”

“……”

"Otherwise, why do you think I would bring Xie Feng here?"

“……”

"Besides, she is the eldest lady of the Yan family, she was kidnapped by us, and the whole Xichuan was shaken, how could it be that no one could find our whereabouts, and how could it be that too many people were not sent to look for her?"

Hearing him say this, Han Zitong was obviously a little confused, and Pei Yuanxiu continued: "If she really wants to escape, few of us here can catch her back; Since she didn't succeed, it proves that she just wants to get away with guò to urge you to do something. ”

Han Zitong looked at her blankly: "Urge me?" What to do? ”

“…… Before I wake up, leave Nishikawa. ”

“……”

"Get on the boat and go to Jinling."
