General's Mansion, Tang Family.

As soon as Tang Yan arrived home, he sent the old man away and returned to his small courtyard, a small courtyard, lush greenery, flower beds and plants, a wall on the west side was full of creepers, and there were two apple trees planted in a corner of the east wall, which were now blooming.

Sitting at the white jade table in the courtyard, there were a lot of tea and snacks on the table, Tang Yan took a sip of honeysuckle tea and listened to Lu Ning's report.

"Miss, when you were in the palace, the man in black kept looking at you, and anyone could see it with a direct look in his eyes, but fortunately, few people paid attention to him, and they didn't know that he was staring at you."

Tang Yan, the man in black that Lu Ning said, knew that Xiong, a killer, had entered the top ten in the Wind Dragon's talent selection competition, and his body was good.

When he was in the palace, as long as there was a gap when the game stopped, that person's eyes would always be locked on him, and his eyes were different from Long Yufeng's attention to himself, but they were really locked! The killer will only lock on to the target when he finds it, except that although he locks on himself, he does not have any killing intent towards himself.

As for the reason why he locked himself, Tang Yan didn't know, but as long as there was no potential danger, he could ignore it.

"Yes." Tang Yan nodded slightly, "Let's not talk about him first, did that kid from the slave trading market bring it back?" In her free time, she would think of the child, the child she planned to take in as an apprentice and inherit her mantle in the future.

Lu Ning immediately replied, "Zhenhong said that the child's health is not completely well, so he will stay for a few days for observation, and I will go to see it in two years." ”

Isn't your body completely well? Is the poison of that ugly woman in the Flame Empire so difficult to get rid of? Looks like she's going to go to the underground black market again when there's time.

Tang Yan thought silently, picked up the tea cup in his hand, and took a sip.

Immediately, she suddenly raised her head and glanced at Lu Ning seriously, "I'm okay here for the time being, I promised Boss Dong a few days off before, why don't you start today, seven days, just come back before the top ten ranking matches start in seven days." ”

Tang Yan's topic suddenly made Lu Ning shy, and when she mentioned Boss Dong, her face turned red, "Miss......"

"Come on, I know that the two of you are in love, you have been with me for so many years, and I don't treat you as an outsider. When you get married, Miss, I will definitely prepare a generous gift for you, so that you can marry beautifully. ”

Lu Ning listened to the tears and immediately flowed, she was born to be a maid in her life, she originally thought that this was it, but a choice given to her by Miss six years ago allowed her to change her fate, not only to be free, but also to be with her beloved in the near future, and to stay together, if there was no Miss Tang Yan, there would be no current her!

"Don't cry, otherwise if your boss Dong knows, you will think that I am bullying you, okay, go to your boss Dong and let him take you out to play for a few days, you probably haven't been out of Dayan City for more than 20 years."

Tang Yan said that she also felt sympathy for Lu Ning, as a maid, this life is indeed too sad, fortunately, Lu Ning has her own choice, and I hope she can be happy in the future.

"Thank you, miss." Lu Ning smiled and wiped her tears, thanked Tang Yan and said goodbye, and quietly left the General's Mansion.

Tang Yan sat alone in the courtyard thinking about everything, until the water in her teapot was cold, and then she spoke helplessly, "I haven't figured it out, what do you want to do when you watch me in the dark for so long?" ”

She spoke into the air, and suddenly, a black shadow jumped onto the wall behind Tang Yan, staring at her back silently.

"You found out." The voice was calm and undulating, and this emotionless speech could only be heard in one person's mouth.

"Xiong, you said your name is Xiong, then call you this name for the time being, you say, follow me all the way home, and eavesdrop on me in the corner, although you hide very well, but unfortunately, my sixth sense has always been superhumanly imagined, I always feel that there are people in the dark, I didn't expect you to come out as soon as I cheated you." Tang Yan turned around, looked at the killer 'Xiong', and said lightly.

Tang Yan said half-truthfully, in fact, she didn't rely on her sixth sense to sense that there might be someone nearby, but a keen instinct to explore, a faint sound, or even a soft breath, couldn't escape her five senses perception, and she could find it at the slightest movement around, let alone this big living person.

"I won't hurt you." Xiong said seriously.

But these words didn't make any sense to Tang Yan's ears, "What are you doing with me?" Purpose? Objective? "She doesn't like to beat around the bush when she speaks, especially when she talks to half of her 'peers', she is even more neat, in the last life, her work is to solve things in an organized and disciplined way, so for her own positioning, Tang Yan has always felt that agents and killers are relatively close, usually, the killer circle is also the next circle of the secret service department.

Xiong stopped talking, he didn't like to talk much, but now when Tang Yan asked, he was even more silent.

Tang Yan was not in a hurry, while drinking herbal tea, she waited for Xiong's reply, now was the time to compete for patience, she silently gave Xiong two choices, either say or go.

If it is hidden in the dark that others do not know, it is not a problem for the bear to hide for a few days, but it can be exposed by others, and then continue to stare at the target, such an abnormal situation is something he has never encountered, and after encountering it, he also finds that he cannot continue.

"I ...... Get to know you. The bear voice said without any mood fluctuations.

Tang Yan raised her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she chuckled, "I think those young talents who participated in today's competition didn't know me before, but from today onwards, they probably all know me." ”

Therefore, Xiong's 'I know you' can't be taken as an excuse to lock down and track as a matter of course.

"I... I've known you for a long time. Xiong added.

"How long is it?" Tang Yan tilted her head, "Don't tell me that you had a crush on me a long time ago, so the underground auction house saw me that time to confirm my identity, and when you saw me in this competition, you went home with me directly." ”

When he said this, Tang Yan had a completely narratic tone, but when he looked at Xiong again, the face exposed under half of the mask was uncontrollably red, and his ears were red together.

Tang Yan was stunned, is he shy?

No way!

Killer Bear is a teenager, judging from his height and half of his face, he is a teenager, and he may be the same age as Tang Yan, Tang Yan is thinking, when did he meet such a teenager? I knew each other a long time ago, and then I didn't see each other for a long time, and now I 'recognize each other'?

She doesn't remember that there will be such a person in her memory, could it be that when she was a child, a certain minister brought a child to the General's Mansion, and the child 'fell in love at first sight' with him and then remembered it deeply? I don't know what this is like, the other party is just unrequited love?

But it's not right, how could the son of a powerful minister become a killer?

After thinking about it, many assumptions quickly floated through her mind, and then they were overturned, and Tang Yan couldn't figure it out.

It's no wonder that Tang Yan's brain circuit is too big and she thinks too much, she really doesn't know what is going on with this teenager who suddenly appeared and claimed to have known her for a long time.

"Be careful, when have I seen you? Or when did you know me? Looking up at the killer boy Xiong who was squatting on a wall more than two meters high, Tang Yan chose to figure out the other party's intention and purpose in the most concise way.

When asked this, the young man suddenly fell silent, he bit his lip stubbornly, and only said calmly for a while, "You killed someone." ”

This person has a language barrier, right? Why can't you talk well and communicate with her smoothly?

Tang Yan thought, when did she kill someone?

Yes, she has killed people, but that was a few years ago, and she has rarely killed people in person in recent years......

"Wait, you've known me for a long time? Eight years? ”

According to her own memory, she tried to speculate, and while asking this sentence, she stared closely at the expression on the face of the killer boy Xiong, and a moment of excitement broke his face that seemed to have remained unchanged for ten thousand years, Tang Yan's heart sank, knowing that she had guessed correctly.

"Eight years ago, I saved a lot of people, and among those children, there was you." She said this in an affirmative tone.

She still remembers that when she first came to this world, she was kidnapped and taken to a deserted courtyard in a forest, and in order to save herself, she killed three human traffickers who kidnapped her, and at the same time, she saved a group of children at the hands of human traffickers.

The group of children were taken out of the woods by her, and now no one could find out where they were, and the young man in front of him was one of the children at the beginning, and she really didn't know which one it was.

There are only two of those children who can impress her, a little girl named Lingling, and the little boy who was taken away by Lingling, who only has half a life left, and I don't know if I can continue to live.

Hearing Tang Yan's affirmative tone, the killer boy Xiong shook his body slightly, his face faded from the color that had blushed because of shyness, his face tightened, and his muscular neckline made Tang Yan judge that his mood was excited.

What was he excited about? Because you are recognized by yourself?

"I want to follow you." He said that his voice was not very calm, and there was even a hint of hope and supplication in his timbre.

If it was usual, Tang Yan would definitely ask why, but now, she looked at the young man and had a sense of déjà vu.

She remembered that when she walked out of the woods eight years ago, the little girl named Lingling said the same thing, wanting to follow her, but now the young man in front of her was not a girl, she could be sure of that.

Tang Yan stared at the young man for a while, he was still squatting on the wall, looking at himself seriously without moving, from his eyes, she could see the degree of resoluteness of his mind, she sighed, "What can you do for me?" ”
