Fang Wu said that half of the reason why he deliberately visited Chiyun Gorge was because he wanted to meet the famous perverted medicine ghost. Maybe it's because strange people have a quirk of cherishing each other's talents, and Fang Wu thinks: In addition to the evil habit of medicine ghosts, he may be the top character in the medicine path.

But Fang Wu also said later that he traveled in Chiyun Gorge for half a year, and finally he was not lucky enough to meet the medicine ghost, but he was fortunate to meet the pharmacist Liao Shi who was passing by here.

People who are a little older should know that more than ten years ago, the reason why Liao Shi was imprisoned in the prison by the monarch of the former dynasty was rumored to be the same door as the medicine ghost department.

It has been rumored in the medical community in Kyoto that Liao Shi not only practiced evil arts with the demon doctor, but also influenced his mind by the same sect and became vicious and vicious. So he could save the Queen Mother, but he lost his humanity and played with the heart of experimentation, and after rescuing the Queen Mother, he killed her with his backhand.

At the beginning of Liao Shi's rescue of the Empress Dowager, the name of 'pharmacist' given by Emperor Zhou Ling immediately became a notoriety of 'medicine ghost' after the empress dowager died of an abrupt illness.

Now, after many years, this statement is finally inconclusive. And after Liao Shi left the prison ten years ago, he disappeared, and this kind of bad legend about him gradually faded in the memory of those who knew it.

But those who remember this, after seeing Liao Shi with their own eyes, will definitely be interested in this kind of legend again. Fang Wu couldn't avoid vulgarity, and asked Liao Shi tentatively, if he knew the specific location where the demon doctor lived in Chiyun Gorge.

Liao Shi didn't say a word about this, didn't say he knew, and didn't say he didn't know. After inquiring about Fang Wu's purpose for coming to this place, Liao Shi only bluntly warned Fang Wu not to continue to go deeper into Chiyun Gorge, because that place not only did not have the so-called aura suitable for prolonging life, but also had a lot of highly poisonous miasma with a pale red color.

Fang Wu's experience now gives Shi Jing a more realistic convincing power. In short, no matter what, Cen Chi's trip is the best if he can meet the medicine ghost, and if he can meet Liao Shi. It's not bad, it's better than staying in Kyoto and waiting to die. Although Kyoto has abundant supplies and a wide number of medical centers, there are not many people who are outstanding in medical skills.

These days. The Prime Minister sent a letter to Fang Wu, and Fang Wu also replied.

Now Cen Chi, who had died nine times in his life, had been sent to a small town in the northwest corner of the country, and Fang Wu would not answer there. Then he who has been to that place will also act as a guide, accompanying Cen Chi to enter Chiyun Gorge again to find a chance to rescue.

Cen Chi's matter was like this for the time being, and Shi Jing immediately cleared up the other party involved in this murder incident.

Logically speaking, Shi Dufang's protagonist seems to be directed at the eldest lady, because the worst thing about her insanity is that once she goes crazy, the first thing she wants to do is kill someone.

But the eldest lady kills only one trick. If you don't have a knife at hand, you can just choke your neck with your hand. Drugged this kind of thing is not her habit of killing people after committing illness.

To put it another way, a deranged person goes berserk and behaves more towards direct violence. It is also impossible to use such a patient and careful poison trick well.

I sent someone to bring the eldest lady to the flower hall before, but Shi Jing wanted to see if she was really crazy, and the result of the observation was that Shi Jing's two moods were half of each of the contradictions.

The eldest lady even speaks logically, and it is difficult for her to have anything to do with her, so there is only one possibility.

It's just that...... Where did the two servants get such a ferocious du-potion? Why did you deal with Cen Chi?

There are still many mysteries about the latter incident, but just talking about the previous question is enough to attract Shi Jing's attention.

The two maids were each beaten ten boards. Later, the nurse brought them back. In the flower hall, the clamps on their shoulders had just been loosened, and the two women were like thin clay figures, lying weakly on the cold and hard floor tiles.

The skin on their backs had been torn open by the board, and the wound was only reddish with blood, but it was no less painful than a knife cut.

They served all year round in the small courtyard where the eldest lady dwelled. In fact, it is a very light job, which should be very comfortable. If the body lacks exercise, they can't carry it, and they have lost half their lives when they come down with ten boards.

But they should rejoice. If Shi Jing hadn't knocked on the table just now, but dropped the teacup, the two of them would have been beaten to death at this time.

So when they came back, they couldn't care about the burning pain in their backs, and cried and begged for mercy as much as they could.

But they don't know that death is not terrible, but that it is terrible to be tortured before death. Maybe when they were dragged out just now, they were directly killed, which was a happy relief for them.

Shi Jing saw that the two of them were sent back, and he didn't get angry anymore, but his face was full of coldness.

The two maids, who were half-kneeling and half-lying under the hall, did not dare to look up at him, but he only used one word to pierce this cold air into their hearts.

"Say."

……

Men generally don't like the trivialities of housekeeping, in addition to the men's style of acting, most of them are also because the eldest woman in the family handles these affairs.

But there seem to be some exceptions to the situation of historians.

Although the eldest lady of the Shi family has been mad for many years, Shi Jing still retains her position in the mansion, and it seems that it is also because he believes that the eldest lady will recover one day, and this belief has lasted for more than ten years.

If Mrs. Shi has only gone crazy in recent years, it makes sense that Shi Jing does not continue to string. But in the year when Mrs. Shi first showed madness, Shi Jing was not yet forty years old. It is really rare for a man in a high official position like him to be able to stick to this step for his wife.

But anyway, Shi Jing seems to have another result by doing this, his housework is not so complicated, there are no female dependents in the house, and it is convenient to have a banquet with those guests.

For more than ten years, this is a rare time for Shi Jing to personally review household affairs. This time, even the old butler who had been loyal to the Shi Mansion for many years was not allowed to meddle in this matter.

Shi Jing and the two dynasties are the prime minister, the literary struggle in the court, the martial arts in the prison, I have never seen any wind and waves, not to mention the two maids in front of me.

If he really decided to deal with these two maids, the iron-beaten man would have to let him roll up and burn out of the hole.

Although there are also heroes among women, most men are more decisive than women. For Shi Jing, as long as the suspicion of the eldest lady is ruled out, it will be easy.

Of course, after this family case was cleared, Shi Jing also understood a problem.

The reason why he was able to let these two maids recruit so quickly. One of the more important reasons is that the master who instructed these two maids to do many bad things is already dead.

The reason why the two maids continue to do evil after the death of the Lord's messenger is because they know that if they don't fight all the way to the end. Sooner or later, it will only be a dead end for them.

And now, in the situation where they have to die if they say it or not, they can only choose the former, which seems to have a little way to live.

When the two maids said all the sins that had been hidden in their hearts for more than ten years and had accumulated for more than ten years, Shi Jing only felt as if he had seen two hideous-looking demons vomiting filth in front of him, which was extremely disgusting! He was furious!

He shouldn't have been so angry so easily, but these two people did everything he cared about to the people he cared about. This was intolerable to him.

No matter what kind of person he is, as long as he is not completely crazy, there will always be a few people in his heart who care, which is an immortal part of human nature. And the less people he cares, the less he can tolerate the person he cares about.

The moment he stood up and prepared to leave the flower hall. Shi Jing's mind came up with several ways to vent his anger: cane death, bury him alive, and burn it......

However, in the end, he just sighed and suppressed the manic feelings in his heart, but not erased them, but pressed them into a line, almost buried in the bottom of his heart without leaving a trace.

After standing still for a while, Shi Jing only said softly: "Take them down to eat something." ”

It was as if he had just suffered a serious illness and was recovering from his health. But the spirit has not yet recovered.

Of course, he could not forgive the sins committed by these two maids, but after learning of the inhuman torture his wife had suffered, he could not forgive himself for his past negligence.

As soon as Shi Jing's voice fell, the three nursing homes in the flower hall couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't act for a while, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

The two maids who were kneeling on the ground were also stunned when they heard this. looked at the three nursing homes, and then stared at Shi Jing's back when he came out of the house.

Shi Jing didn't say a second word, nor did he turn back to make up for it, so he brushed his sleeves and left.

No one knew what Shi Jing was thinking in his heart, even from his political enemies. It is also difficult to find such a 'confidant'. However, it is not difficult for the subordinates in the Prime Minister's Mansion to understand a question at this time, Shi Jing will definitely not forgive those two maids.

The two tortured his wife for more than ten years, and the cruelty of the methods made the three nursing homekeepers who listened to the two maids' statements of guilt couldn't help but grit their teeth.

However, when he looked at these two people, he could still calm down, and there was only one conclusion.

Shi Jing had already carved the word 'death' on the white and smooth foreheads of these two cheap maids with a cold gaze, he couldn't see the fear in their eyes, the sweat on their foreheads, he only looked at the two corpses by himself.

He doesn't use his mental power to deal with the dead.

After Shi Jing left the flower hall, it didn't take long for the three nursing homes who were stunned to look at each other gradually come back to their senses. The three of them looked at each other again, as if they had decided something in silence, and then dragged the two maids out of the flower hall again, who had suddenly understood and wept later.

……

Shi Jing took a half-day off to go home, mainly to bid farewell to Cen Chi, and to try the crime at home that had been shelved for a few days.

This family case involves some family affairs of the historian, as well as some family ugliness. Shi Jing was once the prime minister and didn't want to make a noise about it. He has a lot of experience in interrogating people, and he can do it himself at home, and he can get more information he wants to know.

After disposing of the two evil slaves, it was not enough for the vacation, but when he listened to the two maids' dictation in the flower hall, he suddenly wanted to take another look at his 'Lan'er' before leaving.

Although today's Lan'er can no longer be like when he first married him more than ten years ago, when he went out to go to the official office, he stood at the door of the house and looked at his back with a smile, and called softly: "Be careful on the road." ”

However, when Shi Jing walked to the quiet courtyard where his wife was grounded, he was just about to step forward, but he retreated again.

He sighed inwardly, turned and walked back. The sedan chair stopped at the gate, and he had to hurry back to the court.

Not far back, Shi Jing suddenly saw a somewhat familiar maid. Before the maid got too close, Shi Jing recognized her, it was the girl named Qingqiang who he arranged to serve by Cen Chi's side.

Qingqiang has been a servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion for several years, but since she was arranged by Cen Chi's side, she has rarely met Shi Jing. But Shi Jing did not ignore her existence because of this. In fact, probably because of Cen Chi, Shi Jing's cultivation of this girl can be regarded as attaching great importance to it.

However, because Shi Jing is still a little uncertain about Cen Chi's thoughts. So for the time being, she hasn't taught Qingqiang anything other than serving people, so her heart is still a blank slate, and she doesn't know how much simpler than the two cheap maids who taught her in the flower hall just now.

When Shi Jing saw Qingqiang, a thought arose in his heart, so he called it close to him and took a look.

Qingqiang was originally a maid who served Cen Chi closely, but today Cen Chi left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went to the northwest, but her spirit seemed to be more haggard than when she took care of Cen Chi day and night a few days ago.

After Shi Jing carefully observed Qingqiang a few times, he felt that this girl seemed to have lost her soul. Her soul was not in this body that should have been full of youthful vitality, and probably followed the carriage.

Shi Jing couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic in his heart. It is rare to be able to serve people with heart and affection to this point, but I haven't seen the filthy intentions of the two cheap maids who serve Lan'er for a long time, which is really a big mistake. It seems that for family affairs, there is no mess. It is also necessary to start from the roots.

Shi Jing knew that Qingqiang's heart for Cen Chi was not as simple as a master-servant relationship, but he believed that as long as Qingqiang had a pure heart and could serve his 'Lan'er' well, it was often only a matter of time before the cultivation of feelings was often a matter of time.

"You're worried about Cen Chi?" After staring at Qingqiang for a moment, Shi Jing suddenly asked.

Qingqiang's shoulders trembled slightly. He said in a low voice: "The slave and maid dare not trespass." ”

Shi Jing spoke slowly, as if he was just describing a very ordinary thing: "You must also know that although my wife has been crazy for more than ten years, I have never thought of abandoning her. But you may not know that my wife and I were both from poor backgrounds. I was able to support each other all the way until I became famous, and no one could replace her significance to me during this period. ”

At this point, he changed his words. He also said: "There is no need to deliberately hide emotional matters. As for the problem of identity, there is always a solution. The most expensive thing in the world is true love, and its price is not because of the high price, but because it cannot be measured by treasure. ”

It may be foolish to show what you care about most in front of others, but it can also be said to be a great trust in this 'other person'.

From Shi Jing's words, Qingqiang heard a lot of past stories about Master Shi that she had never known before, and among them, the most surprising thing for Qingqiang was that Master Shi, who had always been strict and busy, would talk to her about his attitude towards 'love' when he met her halfway.

Qingqiang, who lowered her head slightly, couldn't help but glance up at Shi Jing, and saw that he was also looking at herself, she immediately lowered her head again, and there was some awe in her heart that she couldn't understand the reason, and she didn't know how to answer.

Maybe I'm not qualified to discuss my attitude towards 'love' with my lord at all.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will serve by the side of the eldest lady!" Shi Jing suddenly spoke, the topic changed very quickly, and there was no room for Qingqiang to think in his tone, "In the future, the eldest lady will only have you to serve, and I will send someone to stay by your side to protect your safety." ”

The safety he said naturally did not mean that the eldest lady would go down again, but to prevent the eldest lady from going crazy again, leaving someone to stop it when she needed to take action.

Although he didn't say this too bluntly, Qingqiang would only think about it in this way. And once she figured this out, her heart was full of gratitude.

Looking at the back of the old man leaving, although he didn't ask for it, some of the hindsighted Qingqiang still knelt down at him and kowtowed seriously.

……

On the way to the gate, Shi Jing decided one more thing and called the housekeeper closer, but only after he sat in the sedan chair did he signal the official to come to the small window on the side of the sedan chair.

Shi Jing said calmly: "The three family members who led the eldest lady to the flower hall just now, but who are the locals?" ”

The housekeeper glanced at Shi Jing with his eyebrows suppressed, and said in a deep voice: "None of the three are from Kyoto, but two of them are cousins. ”

"Let those cousins go back to their hometown, don't come back, the other one and the two maids ......" Shi Jing said this, was silent for a while, and then spoke again, "Send the rock sugar osmanthus cake that the eldest lady eats leftovers, so that they can eat enough and go on the road." ”

The eldest lady is not noble, and her gluttonous snacks are more common, and her favorite snack since she was a child is rock sugar osmanthus cake.

Shi Jing took the test to gain fame. After finally becoming prominent, he asked his servants to buy enough fresh rock sugar osmanthus cakes every day and give them to the eldest lady so that she could eat happily. Life is sweet.

Later, the eldest lady suffered from frequent episodes of madness and lived in that quiet courtyard, and Shi Jing did not cut off this supply.

However, when there was an accident in the small courtyard a few days ago, there were also osmanthus cakes among the refreshments that the eldest lady gave Cen Chi to taste.

Although after Cen Chi was in the middle of the house, Shi Jing personally inspected the osmanthus cake and other snacks stored in the eldest lady's house, and the results were all safe, but he still asked people to take away all the stored food.

Only a few days have passed since this incident, and some of the pastries that have been sorted out have not been thrown away, which is not poisonous. A few servants looked a little greedy, but ...... Shi Jing said such things now, which made the housekeeper understand a problem.

The old butler's eyes were slightly condensed, but he quickly complied.

Faced with Shi Jing's order to end the lives of three people and almost ruin the lives of two people. This old servant, who has been loyal to the Shi family for most of his life, will not have a trace of dissent.

He is Shi Jing's most trusted confidant and servant, so he will not live up to Shi Jing's trust. As for the three people who were going to die, the reason why they wanted to die must be to live up to Master Shi's trust.

One sentence ended the lives of three people, and Shi Jing's heart still felt a little irritable, not because of the killing, but because he cared more about the truth. The two maids didn't even say it in the end.

For the evil deeds they had done before, they were so small that they spit in the porridge bowl of the eldest lady when she was not paying attention, and they didn't dare to say it out, but they only refused to admit that they were the ones who made the mistake of playing in Cen Chi's teacup and then blaming the eldest lady.

The evil concubine who instructed the maid to do evil to the eldest lady has long since died, and Shi Jing knows it very well. The only thing that can be compensated for this matter is to care more about his 'Lan'er' in the future.

At the same time, Shi Jing was a little unconvinced that for the new manipulator behind him, those two maids could be so loyal in the face of death.

Shi Jing suddenly had some doubts about the third son's speculation.

But he couldn't find any evidence to prove his son's idea for the time being. Or it should be said that even if he forcibly found evidence to prove that Cen Chi put du in his cup, but this poison is really amazing, Shi Jing looked for several Lang Zhong, and all of them judged that it was the kind of du-medicine specially developed by the medicine ghost, if he couldn't get the antidote, he would really die.

This is tantamount to self-defeat, why did Cen Chi do this?

Even if he really suffered any setbacks, based on his temperament, he would never think of using death to solve the problem.

Could it be that there is a problem among the other Qingke in the house?

Shi Jing shook his head and decided not to think about these complicated trivialities anymore. The matter of self-trial in the court had just ended, and the sea was about to begin, whether it was to do his job well or to be vigilant against the plots of political opponents, he had to keep a clear head during this period.

Perhaps time will tell.

Shi Jing closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and said slowly to the old butler who was still bowing next to the sedan chair: "Beside the eldest lady, arrange for Qingqiang's girl to serve, if she has needs, the outer courtyard needs to try its best to meet them." In addition, arrange for Xiao Leng to go to the courtyard of the eldest lady and be responsible for the security guards. ”

The housekeeper hurriedly nodded and said, "The old slave will arrange these things that the master ordered, and the master can rest assured." ”

Shouldering the heavy responsibility of Xiangguo, Shi Jing has the right to keep a few guards by his side.

In fact, in addition to him, many Beijing officials have martial arts guards in their own houses, and some wealthy businessmen are the same, and the meaning is similar.

This habit has been derived from the previous dynasties. Although the Zhou Dynasty has now died and the new dynasty has replaced it, the emperor of the current dynasty did not order to prohibit this unspoken convention, but only vaguely mentioned it, and the number should not be too large.

The number of such people who are good at kung fu is linked to the position of their protector, but there is an upper limit.

Although Shi Jing's current identity is almost equal to more than 10,000 people under one person, there are less than 30 people in the Xiangfu Nursing Courtyard, which is far lower than the upper limit of domestic military attendants.

And only those with slightly higher seniority in the Prime Minister's Mansion know that among these twenty or so people, only ten are Xiangye's close guards.

These ten people are all strong in martial arts, and they are the closest attendants to Xiangye, and they often take turns to follow Xiangye around. Whether Xiang Ye is working in the yamen or visiting friends, they are still inseparable from Xiang Ye.

In addition, they have a set of titles in private, which is called: Ten Generals.

These ten people have rankings. But it is neither ranked by age, nor by the level of martial arts, but by the order of Xiangye himself.

Although even the ten families don't know what the basis for the ranking of Xiangye is, they only need to understand one thing. Protecting the safety of Xiangye is their lifelong mission.

Ten same history, this may already be considered to be a problem!

Xiao Leng called by Shi Jing ranked sixth among the ten generals, in addition to being called Leng Liu, he also had a real name, called Leng Yi.

In addition to being ranked lower among the ten generals, Leng Yi is also the youngest of these ten people, and he has just turned thirteen years old in the Midyear Festival this year.

may be due to the fact that he often practices martial arts, and the coldness of the thirteen-year-old. The body has grown much taller than the young people of the same age, and the appearance is also very energetic, and the brothers of the ten generals are also very harmonious.

However, although Leng Yi's height has been pulled up, there is still a little childishness on his face.

Perhaps for this reason, from the day he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. Until now, Shi Jing has not let him take on the work of going out to guard, and only let him stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Because he often rotated around the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and inspected the Anzhai back and forth, he gradually became almost the microphone inside the ten generals.

Leng Yi inquired about what he saw and heard outside from the ten generals who followed Shi Jing in shifts every day, and told the brothers who went out about what happened every day in the house. Because of this, he was also very much loved by the ten brothers.

But in any case, compared to the other nine, Leng Yi often felt that he was the only one of the ten who ate idle food. He felt that there were already so many nursing homes left behind in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it seemed that there was no more than him, and no less than him.

So, when Leng Yi heard the old butler who came to him. Xiangye had a new dispatch to him, and he was wiping the blade with a soft cloth, and he suddenly put the knife into the sheath, and stood up from the chair with a "Teng" look, his eyes full of anticipation.

However, when he heard the old butler finish speaking, the last half of the sentence. His expression suddenly shrank a little.

It is said that it is a new assignment, but in fact, it is still a job that does not require leaving the house, and the scope of activities seems to be more cramped.

The old housekeeper has served in the Shi Mansion for most of his life, and he has almost watched Leng Yi grow from a little boy to his current size, and he also likes this very young and energetic young man very much.

Seeing a little gloom on his extremely young face, he didn't want to say anything, but when he turned around to leave after giving instructions to Xiangye, he hesitated again, and finally couldn't help but comfort: "Don't look at it, it seems that you can only move in that small courtyard most of the time in the future, but at the same time, you have to bear the responsibility of protecting the eldest lady, and you can't change the guard." Do you know how much Xiangye hopes that the eldest lady can get better one day sooner? Xiangye's expectations for you are not small. ”

Leng Yiyan's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Uncle housekeeper, I will do this job well." ”

The old butler saw the seriousness and firmness in the young man's eyes, he smiled happily, nodded, and said: "There is one more thing to tell you, the maid who will be responsible for serving the eldest lady in the future is Qingqiang, you are no stranger to her, and you must be able to get along very well in the future." ”

As the chief steward in charge of all the daily chores of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he said this sentence very confidently and well-founded.

The old housekeeper knew very well in his heart, he clearly remembered that Qingqiang and Leng Yi entered the Xiangfu on the same day. For this reason, two children of similar age played together in their spare time, and the friendship between the children was very close.

Later, Qingqiang served Cen late, and the coldness grew to a certain age, and the proportion of time spent practicing martial arts under the three people who served as martial artists in the ten generals increased, and the opportunity for the two to play together became rarer.

This time the two have the opportunity to serve the eldest lady together, which may also mean the renewal of their childhood friendship!

When he learned from the old butler that he would be able to meet with Qingqiang often in the future and serve the Lord together, his cold face gradually showed a happy smile.

It seems that the old butler's speculation is going to come true.

……

Because of the special personal situation of the eldest lady, in order to serve her properly, it must be inseparable from her, and almost eat and sleep together. After going to the old housekeeper for advice and gaining understanding and support, Qingqiang began to 'move' the total distance no more than the scope of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Qingqiang dragged a bed of cotton wool rolled up with a sheet and walked to the small courtyard where the eldest lady lived, she suddenly saw two young men pulling a cart of firewood more than ten steps ahead.

The small courtyard where the eldest lady lived was close to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and looked at the direction in which the two young men walked. It was precisely to go to the back door of Shifu, so Qingqiang was on the same road as those two people.

The two of them couldn't walk too fast with the firewood cart, and Qingqiang was dragging a bed of cotton wool in her hand, so naturally she couldn't go fast. The two sides are slowly intertwined on the same road one after the other. No one left anyone behind, but no one copied anyone's way.

After walking for a while, Qingqiang saw clearly the short knives hanging from the waists of the two young men, and recognized that these two were members of the Ten Generals, and she couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

The duty of the ten generals is to protect the safety of Xiangye, although they are servants, but they are by no means simple. Occasionally, they do side jobs, but they don't do the menial work of dyeing their hands in a firewood house.

Until Qingqiang suddenly saw a corner of her clothes exposed between the firewood piles on the firewood cart......

She thought that she was too tired in the past few days because she had taken care of Cen Chi day and night, so she was dazzled.

But the diesel cart is just ahead. With her, she could easily take over what she thought she was looking at flowers.

And when she blinked, and saw that the corner of her clothes was indeed under the pyre, her heart fluttered and a bolt of lightning slid through.

It's a fabric she's all too familiar with. In fact, the maid dress she wears herself is made of this fabric.

Why is this kind of clothing pressed under the pyre? Why is the firewood cart full of firewood not sent to the house, but to the outside? Why is the firewood cart transported by the people of the ten generals, and what are the rough servants of the firewood house doing......

Gathering many clues, Qingqiang's thinking direction suddenly entered a realm that she herself felt scared.

And when she was about to look at it again and see clearly, a figure suddenly flashed into her sight! Because she was so focused on what was ahead of her that she forgot what was going to happen behind her, she was taken aback by the sudden arrival of this scene. Almost fell backwards to the ground.

"Sister Qiang'er!"

After approaching Qingqiang lightly, he shouted coldly, and suddenly jumped in front of her from behind Qingqiang, his original intention was to surprise her, and by the way, he also wanted to scare her, but he didn't expect to really scare her into such a situation.

Seeing Qingqiang's face, it instantly turned pale. His eyes were straight, and he was a little panicked with his coldness, and his long arms reached out, supporting Qingqiang's body that was about to lean back, and said in surprise: "Sister Qiang'er." What happened to you? ”

"Oh... It's nothing ......," Qingqiang replied casually.

The sudden intervention of another person gave her the illusion that the unspoken discovery in her heart was exposed to the eyes of others, and she reflexively spoke perfunctorily.

It wasn't until she saw the person in front of her clearly that she breathed a sigh of relief, and then a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Xiao Leng, why are you?" ”

"Why can't it be me?" Leng saw that Qingqiang was relieved, he was also relieved, and then he was about to help with the futon that Qingqiang was pulling with some difficulty, "I'll help you get it." ”

After recognizing Leng Yi, Qing Qiang had no defense against him, and easily let go of her hand, and the bound futon slid into Leng Yi's hand and carried it.

With a light hand, she couldn't help but look at the two people pulling the firewood cart again. It's just that in the time when she paused, the cart of firewood had been pulled away by the two of them, the image was blurry, and the corner of the clothes exposed on the firewood cart was not very clear.

Qingqiang turned her gaze back, and the corner of her gaze slid over the knife hanging from Leng Yi's waist, and stopped on the slightly sharpened cowhide handle, and she thought more seriously that although Leng Yi was only thirteen years old, a few months younger than herself, he did have the identity of one of the ten generals.

I have long heard that even if the members of the ten generals are not guaranteed, there are at least seven adults, and the blades of the green steel knives hanging diagonally around their waists have licked human blood.

Although the coldness in front of him is rarely out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the wear and tear of the handle of his saber is mostly due to his diligent practice, the reason is relatively simple, but if he grows up for a few years, he will inevitably be the same as the other members of the Ten Family Generals......

As soon as she thought of this, Qingqiang coughed dryly, and then asked softly, "Xiao Leng, are you here for something?" As she spoke, she stepped back half a step with a slight movement.

Leng Yi seemed to be unaware of Qingqiang's small action, but in fact, it was because he didn't care in the first place, and thought that this was a normal expression of a woman's reserve, after all, the two of them were really a little too close just now.

Hearing Qingqiang's soft inquiry, Leng Yi replied with a smile: "Uncle Housekeeper asked me to protect the eldest lady...... And you, don't you know? ”

It wasn't for him to mention it, Qingqiang really didn't know about it. She had just gone to ask the old butler about his move, and the butler agreed, but did not mention anything else, perhaps because he had forgotten.

But she thought about it, she had met the lord in the courtyard before, and the lord not only personally assigned her to serve in the courtyard of the eldest lady, but also mentioned that he would also send someone to guard the safety of the courtyard. In this way, what Leng Yi said is true.
