In the dark sky, the stars shone like brilliant gems. The night breeze blows, sweeping away the residual heat of the daytime sun, and it is cool and comfortable.

It was quiet all around, save for the low chirping of insects and the small sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

A few dog barks could be heard faintly in the distance.

At this time, Ling Yan and Xiao Yu had already fallen asleep, and they were still sleeping very deeply because of the fatigue of the long journey. Inside and outside the inn, the guards were engrossed in watching the movements around them, not daring to be negligent. Before leaving, General Ling and the military advisor Lao Bai Ke repeatedly explained that if the two girls had any mistakes, the military law would deal with them.

And these guards have also made military orders, and they will definitely ensure that the two girls arrive safely in Changzhou Xiaofu.

At this time, Captain Lu patrolled the inn, and suddenly heard something seem to be loud outside, he made a silent gesture to several guards in the inn, took two of them, relaxed his hands and feet, and went out.

Upstairs, Xiao Yu was in a dream, and suddenly heard the sound of bumping and swords, and suddenly a spirit woke up, the sound was still there, sit up and listen carefully, the sound of the fight outside was very clear in the silent night, and he hurriedly got up.

Banxia and Yuzhu, who were on duty at night, were already guarding the bedside, with a shocked look on their faces, but they were still able to keep their composure and quickly dressed Xiao Yu.

There was a scream outside.

Several maids couldn't help but turn pale, and Banxia's hands trembled a little. Xiao Yu asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

Yuzhu was still calm, and replied, "There are thieves outside, and the guards have already fought with them." ”

Xiao Yu's face couldn't help but sink. As he walked out, he asked, "How many people are here?" Sister Yan's side, okay? Has anyone gone over to take a look? ”

Xia Zhi, Yuzhu and Banxia hurriedly followed, and persuaded: "The girl is very dangerous outside......"

The voice did not fall. The door opened, and Ling Yan appeared at the door with Xiaoxue and a few maids.

Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly greeted him, took Ling Yan's hand and looked it up and down, and asked, "Sister, are you okay?" ”

Ling Yan nodded, took Xiao Yu's hand and entered the house, and said, "Those thieves were discovered by the guards as soon as they came. Then General Zhong immediately arranged for someone to guard the room between me and my sister, and nothing happened, but I didn't know what the situation was underneath. ”

Because Ling Yi had to rush back to Changzhou first. So this time, Zhong Lang and Hua Yue still walked together to take care of it.

As soon as Xiao Yu wanted to take a look at the situation outside by the window, he heard Zhong Lang's voice from the door: "The two girls are up?" ”

Before Xiao Yu could react, the guards outside had already replied, "Back to General Zhong, the two girls were shocked." Should have gotten up. Miss Fang Cai Ling just came over. ”

Hearing the question and answer between Zhong Lang and the guards outside, Xiao Yu turned to Yuzhu and ordered, "Go and invite General Zhong in, and Sister Yan and I will ask about the situation outside across the screen." ”

Yuzhu hesitated slightly, turned his head to look at Ling Yan and Xiao Yu who were neatly dressed, and then left.

Not long after, there was a sound of the door opening outside, and then Yuzhu said through the screen: "Two girls, General Zhong has come in." ”

Then Yuzhu came in through the screen.

A pink haze quickly swept across Ling Yan's face. He whispered from the side: "Xiaoxue, give General Zhong tea on the seat." ”

I only heard Zhong Lang outside say calmly: "I've disturbed the two girls." ”

However, the two have long been accustomed to Zhong Lang's cold temperament. Not thinking about it, Ling Yan glanced at Xiao Yu and asked, "General Zhong, I don't know what's going on outside?" ”

Xiao Yu also withdrew his mind from listening to the movement of the fight outside, and listened carefully to what Zhong Lang said.

I only heard Zhong Lang say lightly: "But there are a few thieves, and the guards will be able to send them away soon, so the two girls don't have to worry." ”

Ling Yan asked again, "Is there any origin of these thieves?" ”

In fact, Xiao Yu also felt a little strange, because the guards who escorted a few people over this time were all good at one in a hundred miles in the general's mansion, but the attackers were able to hold on for so long, and now there are endless fights below, obviously not ordinary bandits.

Now that Ling Yan would ask like this, she should have thought of this.

Outside the screen, Zhong Langjian raised his eyebrows, and then replied: "It's not time to ask about the captured thieves, and you won't know until all the enemies have been caught or ambushed." ”

In fact, Zhong Lang and Hua Yue had vaguely guessed in their hearts that most of it was related to Li Ying, because the small movements over there have been going on recently, which has made the two of them very annoying.

Ling Yan subconsciously nodded slightly, and whispered to herself, "Could it be that Lord Shuhui's side wants to be unfavorable to Sister Ayu?" ”

This time she went to Changzhou, and others didn't know that Hua Yue and Zhong Lang were also with her, so Ling Yan felt that Li Ying, who was jealous, might attack Xiao Yu because of this.

If this is the case, Li Ying has already lost her mind due to jealousy. Ling Yan turned her head to look at Xiao Yu worriedly.

But seeing Xiao Yu smiling at her, there was a great sense of appeasement, which made Ling Yan involuntarily show a smile, with Zhong Lang and Hua Yue here, there should be no accidents.

The two of them looked at each other inside the screen, and Zhong Lang, who had excellent ear power outside, was a little surprised when he heard Ling Yan's guess, and then he was relieved.

Maybe the same woman will be more aware of the terrible jealousy of women?

Zhong Lang couldn't help but remember what he had heard before, Xiao Yu would never tolerate her husband's concubine taking a concubine. Fortunately, Hua Yue didn't think about taking a concubine because of the old thing, otherwise maybe she would have some terrible actions, not to mention that she would use poison......

Thinking of this, Zhong Lang couldn't help but shake his head, he seemed to be thinking too much.

Only by this time the sound of fighting below had stopped, but the sound of horses' hooves and shouting could be heard in the distance, and I don't know who was rushing this way.

Zhong Lang raised his head and said to Ling Yan and Xiao Yu: "It's late at night, the two girls will rest first, and Zhong will retire." ”

Hearing this, the two came back to their senses, and Ling Yan said: "General Zhong has worked hard, I don't know if those thieves have helpers, the general must be careful, the safety of me and Sister Ayu along the way still depends on the support of the general and the playboy." ”

But Zhong Lang didn't say anything, he turned around and went out.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu walked to the window and opened the window to look out, the lights below were bright, but it was not noisy, the sound of horses' hooves not far away became more and more recognizable because of the opening of the window, and the night wind brought a trace of blood, she frowned, closed the window and turned around.

At this time, Ling Yan asked, "What time is it?" ”

Yuzhu next to him took a look at the leaky pot and replied softly: "Cousin girl, it's been nearly four shifts." Are the two girls resting? ”

Xiao Yu was already very sleepy, and when he saw that Ling Yan was also a little tired under the lamp, he immediately said: "I don't know if the government has been alarmed outside, it seems that someone is coming." Now the situation is unknown, it is better for Sister Yan to be here with me for one night tonight, so I can take care of it. ”

Ling Yan nodded and said, "I just happened to have such a plan. ”

Because it was already late at this time, Yuzhu Xiaoxue and a few maids hurriedly packed up the brocade quilt and incense pillows, and waited for the two to go to bed.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and when they arrived at the inn, they stopped abruptly, and they really came here. (To be continued......)
