"Xicui, you go down to rest first, and I'll call you if there's something." Li Ximu lay back on the couch, and saw that Xicui's eyes were full of tiredness, and she couldn't bear it, so she sent her down.

"It's okay, Xicui is not tired." Xi Cuihan laughed.

Seeing that she refused, Li Ximu spoke again: "Go down, I don't need anyone to take care of me now, I'll call you again if I have something." ”

"That's okay, Xicui will go down first, you have something to call me." Li Ximu nodded, and Xicui left.

It's late at night.

The stars were thick, the moonlight was like washing, and Li Ximu tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, maybe because of this incident, which made her want to leave here even more.

A soft sound sounded outside the window, Li Ximu was shocked, her eyes stared at the window for a moment, I don't know if it was an illusion, she always felt that there was a person standing outside the window.

Quietly got up, walked to the window, and just wanted to ask, the person who was recruited was covered by someone from behind!

I was very frightened in my heart, and I kept struggling, trying to pull open the big palm covering my mouth and call for help, but the person who came seemed to be very strong, no matter how she struggled, she couldn't get rid of the clamp!

In desperation, she opened her mouth and desperately bit the big palm covering her mouth, and the person who came snorted in a low voice and did not move at all.

"Don't be afraid, it's me." A warm voice accompanied by a hot and humid breath sounded in my ears.

Li Ximu's eyes instantly overflowed with tears after hearing this, and seeing that she was not struggling, she kept clamping her arms before sending them away.

Li Ximu was free, and immediately turned around and threw herself into the person's arms, her voice trembling: "Su Qi! Is it really you?"

"It's me." The warm voice still has a soothing meaning.

Li Ximu was already crying silently at the moment, and the emotions that had been suppressed for so many days collapsed at this moment, and she seemed to only know how to cry when she was buried in her arms.

She kept comforting her until the crying in her arms faded away.

After a while, Xiao Shuqi took her out of his arms slightly, bent down and touched her forehead: "Don't cry, it's all my fault, I'm late." ”

Li Ximu thought of something again, hurriedly came out of his arms, and looked him up and down: "Su Qi, are you okay?" I don't know what's going on, but when I woke up, I was in the Qinglou, and it was Yue Gongzi who saved me. ”

Complexity flashed in Xiao Shuqi's eyes, but in the dark, Li Ximu didn't notice it.

Pulling him to the table and sitting down, Li Ximu wanted to light the candle, but he was surrounded and sat on his lap.

He asked, "Mu'er, how did you know that Yue Gongzi?"

Li Ximu did not doubt that he had him, quietly leaned on his arms, grabbed his hand and played with him, and slowly said what he had encountered in the past half a month.

Hearing her say that she met Yue Luxin at the entrance of Fengyueju Alley, Xiao Shuqi's eyes flashed with confusion, and then he seemed to think of something, and the confusion quickly disappeared.

"Su Qi, when are we going back to Jinzhou?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Li Ximu asked first.

She wants to go back to Jinzhou, here she is afraid!

Xiao Shuqi hugged her and rested his chin on the top of her head: "Mu'er, listen to me, Jinzhou is not safe, and I can't take you away for the time being." ”

The moon still hung high, the moonlight was silvery white, and through the open window spread a ground of silver frost in the interior.

Li Ximu sat at the round table, her tears had not yet dried, and she still had a charming and touching appearance.

Before leaving, Su Qi told her to wait for him. She waited

A white shadow quickly jumped over the courtyard wall and disappeared, and then the two of them walked out of the darkness, it was really Yue Luxin and Uncle Lin.

"Childe, do you want to send someone to chase after you?" Uncle Lin watched the white shadow disappear and asked.

The moonlight was cast on Yue Luxin's face, and he still laughed indifferently: "No." ”

Uncle Lin was puzzled, and thought to himself, when will this mansion allow people to come and go so freely?

At the same time, at the Yuelai Inn in the south of Jizhou City, four people sat at the round table in the Tianzi room on the second floor.

Except for one person, the other three were all dressed in black suits, and what was surprising was that these three people looked the same, but their expressions were slightly stiff, and if they looked closely, they were all covered with a layer of masks.

And the one who was different was dressed in a lake-green robe, with a blue belt around his waist, and his face was extremely soothing and soft, it was Su Jin who he had seen on the Chixu Cliff that day.

I saw him laugh lowly, and his voice was soft: "You have to be extra careful when you go, there are many masters in the mansion this month, if you are discovered"

Su Jin's words paused for a moment, and his flowing eyes suddenly shot fiercely!

The three men in black clothes knelt down on one knee from their seats: "Please rest assured, Master Su!" ”

Su Jin smiled in a low voice again, waved his sleeves, and in the blink of an eye, the three men in black clothes disappeared.

The night was still very long, and the candlelight kept flickering, and from time to time two candles burst out until the candles were completely extinguished.

At this time, it was already bright outside the window.

Su Jin, who had been sitting at the table, picked up the teacup on the table and played with it, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a charming smile: "Three batches of spies have entered your Yuefu and have never returned, Yue Luxin, who are you?"

Maybe it's because Su Qi came last night, Li Ximu almost didn't sleep all night, only squinted for a short time in the morning, and his head hurt a little after getting up in the morning, and he didn't know what to eat for breakfast, so he put it down after a few bites.

"What's wrong with Miss Pear? Why do you eat so much? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Xicui saw that she was eating absent-mindedly, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

Li Ximu was stunned and said, "En? Nothing, I just don't eat much. I was afraid that I was covering it too obviously, so I spoke again: "I don't know what's going on, I slept a little unsteadily last night, and I didn't have much energy in the morning." ”

Xicui lowered her eyes and stopped talking, silently packed up the dishes and chopsticks and left.

Li Ximu sat in the room for a while, and was bored, getting up and preparing to go to the backyard for a walk.

As soon as she stepped out of the Mingyue Pavilion, she heard a soft sound behind her, and when she turned around, she saw a young man standing quietly behind her, the man was dressed in gray practice clothes, his hair was all combed into a bun, his facial features were upright, and his expression was indifferent.

Li Ximu was startled at first, but seeing that he had no malicious intent, he opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing after me?"

The man in gray looked at her expressionlessly, and only spoke when she was in a hurry, and his tone was as undulating as his expression: "Childe asked me to protect the girl at any time." ”

"Protect me?" Li Ximu frowned and repeated.

The man in gray glanced at her and didn't say anything more. "What's your name?"

Li Ximu asked the gray-clothed man who followed behind him while strolling, "Why did Yue Luxin ask you to protect me?" Isn't this the Moon House? You're going to be protected here too?"

Li Ximu asked several questions at once.

"Little four." The man in gray only said these two words and then stopped talking, as if he hadn't heard the other questions asked by Li Ximu.

Li Ximu waited for a long time and didn't see him, and was just about to speak again, when he happened to see Yue Luxin coming this way, Li Ximu immediately trotted to him.

When Yue Luxin saw her, she smiled like a fox, her raised eyebrows narrowed slightly, and her tone was lazy: "Good morning, pear girl!" Did you sleep well last night?"

Li Ximu didn't say much to him, pointed to Xiao Si and asked him, "What do you mean by sending this guard to follow me?"

"Of course, it's to protect the girl's safety." Yue Luxin cranked the white jade folding fan in his hand, and he was indifferent.

"Yue Gongzi, what else do I need to protect in this mansion?" Li Ximu was very disgusted with Yue Luxin's attitude, "Yue Gongzi, this guard still asks you to take it back." ”

She doesn't like to be followed by someone no matter what she does.

"No way!" Yue Luxin's peach blossom eyes narrowed even more, "Pear girl, do you know who came to the house last night?"

Li Ximu's face suddenly turned a little white when she heard this, and she was very nervous, thinking, didn't Su Qi be discovered? In her opinion, since Shu Qi came to see her in the middle of the night, she must not want to be known by the people of Yuefu.

Yue Luxin didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with her, and took a step forward and stared at her and said, "My Yuefu has never been involved in anything, but last night, three batches of black-clothed dead soldiers came, Miss Pear, who did you say these people were coming for?"

When Li Ximu heard that it was not Su Qi, he was suddenly relieved, but when he heard his last sentence, he couldn't help but be a little scared.

"You're messing with people you shouldn't be tainted with!" After Yue Luxin finished speaking, she walked straight past her, and when she wiped her body, she only faintly heard him instruct Xiao Si: "Take her to the String Moon Residence." ”

She turned her head sideways to look at Xiao Si, still expressionless and indifferent.

When Li Ximu even began to wonder if she had heard it wrong, Xiao Si spoke, and her voice was straight without the slightest fluctuation: "Girl, let's go." ”

"Where are you going?" She subconsciously asked again.

"String Moon House."

If Shuangtong Street is the most prosperous commercial street in Jizhou, then Yazhi Lane is the quietest street in Jizhou, with Shuangtong Street an opening to the north, an opening to the south, and only the shops in the neighborhood in the middle, it is natural to see at a glance whether it is lively or not.

Yazhi Lane is said to be an alley, but the length and width of this road are not much worse than Shuangtong Street.

Branches, elegant.

As the name suggests, the shops that open inside naturally sell some pen and ink calligraphy and painting antiques and treasures. There is a white stone carved standing card at the mouth of the alley, which is engraved with three big characters of "Yazhi Lane" with freehand feelings.

A delicate and gorgeous carriage slowly passed the standing sign into the alley, and the man in gray who was driving was really a little four.

Li Ximu sat in the carriage and looked through the gauze window at the similar shops in Yazhi Lane, no one passed by along the way, Li Ximu was secretly strange in her heart, but she didn't think deeply, until the carriage stopped in front of a shop.

"The girl has arrived." Xiao Si's unheaving voice sounded outside the car.

Li Ximu retracted his gaze looking out of the car window, reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and leaned out half of his body: "It's here so soon!" ”

Xiao Si didn't speak, helped her get out of the carriage and went straight into the shop.

Li Ximu stuck out his tongue at his back, and then looked up at the three big characters of "Xianyue Ju" above the shop, and then followed in.

After entering, Li Ximu saw that the shopkeeper of the String Moon Residence was talking to Xiao Si, and looked around with herself.

The lobby of the Quarter Moon Residence is not very large, and there is a splashed ink landscape picture hanging on the wall opposite the door, and the artistic conception of the mountains and flowing water is unique.

There is a mahogany long case below, with a few books on it, and a curved jujube wood pen hanging on these three or two special little wolf hairs. On the left-hand side are two quaint square chairs, with similar square tables in between. On the right-hand side, the walls are folded into squares of different sizes, and different jade and porcelain are displayed inside, which is beautiful and does not take up space, which is very unique.

The shopkeeper is a slightly blessed old man, seeing that she has been looking at the environment, he has been standing aside without disturbing, and when Li Ximu finished appreciating it, he turned around, and saw the shopkeeper looking at her peacefully and smiling, and Xiao Si had long disappeared.

Nodding towards the shopkeeper with a slight disobedience: "Hehe, the layout is very chic, I was fascinated by it for a while." ”

The shopkeeper laughed twice and said, "Girl Miaozan, this place is all arranged by the son himself." ”

Li Ximu smiled: "Where is Xiaosi?"

"The four guards went back to the Mingyue Pavilion to return to their son." The shopkeeper has all the questions.

Li Ximu was puzzled: "Isn't he trying to protect me?" How to protect when you are gone? ”

The shopkeeper laughed as if he had suddenly heard something funny: "Girl, if anything happens to you in this Quarter Moon Residence, then there is no need for me to be the shopkeeper." There was confidence in his tone.

"Isn't the String Moon House a shop that sells antique words?" Li Ximu did not deny the shopkeeper's words: "Is there any difference?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, a dark light surged in his eyes, and his tone suddenly became strict: "Girl, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, this is not as simple as what your eyes see." ”

Li Ximu was stunned.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, she instantly changed to her original peaceful appearance, thinking that what she said just now was just her hallucination.

"The girl comes with me." After speaking, the shopkeeper turned around and walked inside.

Li Ximu was stunned for only a moment and followed. Through the small door, you will arrive at the backyard of the String Moon Residence.

The shopkeeper led her to the door of a wing room on the west side, and said to her: "Girl, stay here for the time being, Xicui, I will have someone pick her up later, you go first to rest and rest, I will go to the shop to take care of it first." Then he went back to where he had come.

Li Ximu obediently entered the door, and when she heard that the shopkeeper was going to call Xicui over, she just wanted to say no, but when she turned around, the shopkeeper had already gone away.

Li Ximu walked into the wing room, walked around the room at will, her bright light brown eyes looked around the furnishings in the room, the whole was similar to the layout of Mingyue Pavilion, simple and concise, there was a row of bookshelves outside, there were bookcases, but there was one less round table for eating than Mingyue Pavilion. There is only a simple bed in the room, and there is nothing else.

Xicui came with Xiao Si when the sky was getting dark in the evening, and in the blink of an eye, four days passed, except for one more guard Xiao Si who didn't talk much, Li Ximu's daily life was still the same as in Mingyue Pavilion.

Today.

The wind and the sun are beautiful, and Li Ximu is still in a good mood, so she gets up early and moves in the yard. It's just that this coziness was interrupted by a woman who suddenly broke in.

The woman was dressed strangely, I saw that she was wearing a blue gauze dress, but she was wearing the black and gray cloth shoes of Lian Jiazi on her feet, and her hair was combed into a man's bun, fixed with a wooden hairpin, and there was no powder on her face, but because she was running all the way, her cheeks revealed two blushes. The woman's steps are steady, her figure is slightly burly, and her face is also rough that ordinary daughters don't have. (To be continued.) )
