Xin Niang?

Xie Shuning, who was eavesdropping, was slightly stunned, this was obviously a woman's name. There are only two women in the Hu family, except for the girl named Dongxue, there is only one person who can be called Xin Niang.

She was thinking about it, when Uncle Hu, who was standing in the courtyard talking, sounded again, "Who are you?" ”

He asked who it was, but he did not deny that there was a person named Xin Niang in the family. It can be seen from this that what Xie Shuning guessed in his heart was that he was afraid that eight or nine would not be far from ten, this person called Xin Niang was the Aunt Hu they had seen during the day!

There was a sudden silence in the courtyard.

Xie Shuning didn't know what was going on outside, her heart palpitated, and she couldn't help but subconsciously reach out and grab Turan's arm, holding it tightly.

The fact that a stranger knocks at the door at night is enough to make people feel uneasy, but it is not looking for her, and it has nothing to do with her. But the young man's voice that spoke just now made her forget it even if she wanted to. Yan Huai, the prince of Chengguo, ran to such a remote mountain village in the middle of the night to find a peasant woman?

According to the last farewell, time has not been short. On the day Xie Shuning left the palace, he happened to pass by him at the entrance of the imperial city.

She left the palace, but he entered the palace.

At such a time now, if Yan Huai is fine, he will definitely not run to the palace from time to time. Therefore, he entered the palace only for the Yan family's business.

Xie Shuning had personally bumped into him and Wang Ren in the Imperial Garden, these two people were not good things, and it was not impossible for them to be embarrassed. Emperor Su Fang is afraid that he has not had a good time in recent days, and Wang Ren is waiting in front of him every day, and the wind that can blow. is no less than the concubines in the harem.

Although she hasn't gotten the exact news yet, according to what she sees, Yan Huai is afraid that it won't be long before she becomes the grandfather of the country from the prince of the world.

Xiao Wan was not his opponent in his previous life. In this life, she is not optimistic about Xiao Wan's.

Her family affair with the Yan family was also not tight from the beginning.

However, at this moment, Xie Shuning suddenly panicked inexplicably.

What is Yan Huai's visit to Hu's house for at night?

In the courtyard, Uncle Hu suddenly let out an "oops", and then the voices of several people suddenly lowered. Xie Shuning in the room couldn't hear clearly at all.

Immediately, the courtyard door made a "squeak" sound that still made people's teeth fall, and I don't know who closed it. Followed by. A rush of footsteps echoed in the empty night, and went directly to the house where Uncle Hu and his wife slept tonight.

Xie Shuning held her breath and carefully distinguished the footsteps inside.

Uncle Hu's footsteps are very special because the shoes on his feet are different. It's a peasant man who goes down the mountain all day long. The sound of the voice when they walked was not quite the same as they thought.

The footsteps of Yan Huai and the others were particularly light, like cats in the night, but they walked by but did not leave any movement.

This is the footsteps of Lian Jiazi.

Light and fast, or steady and orderly.

Even in a hurry, their footsteps don't sound easy to mess around.

And in the sound of these footsteps, Uncle Hu's footsteps were very large, almost staggering forward.

After a while, the footsteps did not stop. There was only a slight pause at the sound of the door being slammed, and then it seemed to have vanished into the room.

Inside. Xie Shuning didn't hear the sound very much, and frowned slightly.

is good, but it is really not a good thing to meet Yan Huai in this kind of place. Could it be that he is also looking for gold mines?

Xie Shuning was stunned, and Fang wanted to tell Tulan to quietly find out what Yan Huai was here for, and whether the Xin Niang in their mouth was Aunt Hu. But before she could say anything, she saw Turan lying by the window, looking out through the gap in the lattice. After only a few glances, she turned around and lowered her voice and said to Xie Shuning: "Miss, the lights in the hall are on." ”

"Oh?" Xie Shuning also looked down, and sure enough, he saw that the lights in Hu's house were on.

There were many people inside, but it was impossible to see how many people there were for a while.

The light of the fire was faint, and only a single star was reflected in the window, and it was very dim. Xie Shuning stared at it for a few moments, but didn't see anything famous, so he retracted his gaze and sat still, and instructed Turan as usual: "You go and explore quietly, don't ask someone to find out." "They are now in the Hu family, and they have to guard against it, and any movement must be carefully checked to make people feel at ease.

"Yes." Turan answered and quickly got off the kang.

The door opened loudly, so she opened the window lightly, turned over, and disappeared from Xie Shuning's sight.

Time passed little by little, and there were crickets chirping in the grass outside the house, pulling their throats and refusing to stop. The sound of frogs chirping out of nowhere also mixed in, and it was loud and loud. On a summer night in the farmhouse, because there are few voices haunting, it seems very clean, but when these little things make a fuss, they are so noisy that it is difficult for people to sleep peacefully.

Xie Shuning really couldn't sleep.

Even without these sounds, she would probably not be able to sleep again.

Turan went for a while and has not returned. Xie Shuning couldn't help but wait for her to return by the window, her eyes staring at the glimmer of light reflected on the screen window and not daring to move away.

Tonight's sky seems to be especially dark, with no moon or stars in the sky, so dark that there is not a trace of variegation. She sighed in her heart, I am afraid that there will be no good weather tomorrow. After the night, if it rains tomorrow, they will not be able to continue mining, and the time will only run out more and more than they had previously thought.

The sudden Yan Huai also made her worried.

In fact, Turan had just left, but she was already waiting in the house in a hurry, and her body was stiff. When Turan returned quietly, her legs and feet were numb.

"Miss."

Hearing Tulan's voice calling her, Xie Shuning breathed a long sigh of relief. As soon as her anger was released, her stiff body seemed to immediately regain her flexibility, she reached out and rubbed her legs, looked sideways at Turan and lowered her voice and asked, "Do you know what is going on with Lu Dao?" ”

Turan nodded, then shook his head again.

Xie Shuning was confused, and he didn't care about continuing to rub his legs, and said suspiciously: "Do you know the way, or don't you know the way?" ”

"The person who came is the prince of Chengguo." In the dark. Turan's voice had a rare hesitation, "But he is followed by a very powerful person, and the slave does not dare to get too close." Fear of being discovered. ”

Xie Shuning nodded yes.

No matter who Yan Huai brought with him on this night trip, at least it was himself, and he was not one of those delicate and expensive sons and brothers in the capital, if Turan got too close, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be discovered by them.

She sat Turan down, and the two leaned in and whispered, "You're doing the right thing." In any case, the first criterion is to protect oneself. ”

Turan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he heard her say this. Only then did he regain his firmness as he spoke, and he did not hesitate before.

She said: "The person named Xin Niang that the prince came to find is Aunt Hu. The slave didn't hear very clearly, but she could vaguely hear her crying. The biological mother of the prince was also mentioned. She called Shiziye's biological mother the eldest lady. ”

Tulan's Western Vietnamese language is getting better and better, but it is not her mother tongue, and she often can't distinguish some obscure and difficult words. But the last time she overheard the conversation between the queen and the palace maid beside Concubine Shu in the palace, she had experience, and this time she knew how to pick the key.

Crying, biological mother, eldest lady......

These words gradually converged into a picture in Xie Shuning's mind. Slowly become clear.

When she first arrived at Hu's house during the day, she was suspicious. Aunt Hu doesn't look like a full country woman, but should be a big maid. It's just that she can't tell from Aunt Hu's simple words and deeds which family she was a slave in the past.

Looking at Aunt Hu's conversation, she should also be literate.

The maids who can read and write, their status is usually not too low, and they are mostly first-class maids next to Miss and Mrs.

But how could such a maid only marry a villager?

Xie Shuning didn't think about it before, but now when she heard Turan say that she called the deceased Da Wan Miss, she suddenly thought it through. If she used to be the maid next to the Da Wan clan, then everything would make sense. Why did she marry in such a remote place, and why did Yan Huai take time out of her busy schedule to come in the dark night.

It took her an hour to come from the grange.

Yan Huai is in Kyoto, and it takes a few hours to come to the suburbs, and it takes a lot of time to come here. It was an eventful time now, and it should have been when he was running around many places in the Yan family's palace, but he came to find a maid who was married and had children next to his mother.

Xie Shuning narrowed her eyes, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt.

How important is this maid called Xin Niang? It's so important that Yan Huai doesn't hesitate to ride a horse to find her?

"Miss?" There was no light in the room, and he couldn't see his fingers, and Turan couldn't see her clearly, and seeing that she hadn't made a sound for a long time, he couldn't help but call tentatively.

Xie Shuning came back to her senses, suppressed the anxiety in her heart, shook her head, and said softly: "Have you seen the person who came with the prince?" ”

Turan shook his head, "The slave didn't dare to approach, and she didn't see it, but she knew that it was a young man about twenty-four or five years old. ”

"Young people? Martial arts are very high? Xie Shuning frowned.

Turan nodded without thinking about it this time, and replied in an affirmative tone: "The slave maid is in front of him, I'm afraid it is the kung fu of the three-legged cat." ”

Xie Shuning laughed silently, this is very likely to be true. At first, she wanted to find a maid who knew martial arts to keep her safe, but she just wanted someone who knew how to fight and kick. Her uncle found Turan for her, which was very unexpected to her.

But Yan Huai is different, his life in the Yan family must be in dire straits, if there are not a few powerful characters around him, he is afraid that he will die the moment he returns to Beijing.

Xie Shuning immediately made up her mind in her heart, and she would go back to the grange tomorrow, even if it was pouring rain, it would not be good to stay. After all, the troubled waters of the Yan family, she didn't plan to wade into it. Da Wan has been dead for so many years, but Yan Huai came to find the maid who was waiting by her side in the past at this delicate moment, no matter what Xie Shuning thought, she felt that he was here to verify something.

- For example, the real cause of Dawan's death......

If Da Wan lived, many things would be different. Coupled with what she knew in her previous life, the grievances between Xiao Wan's mother and son and Yan Huai inevitably made people think too much.

How much hatred must you have to make such a hand?

Therefore, even in her previous life, she had doubted the true cause of Da Wan's death more than once.

Dawan's is really, but the dystocia fell to the root of the disease, so it was entangled. Mian was sick and died?

She, an outsider, couldn't help but think about it, how could Yan Huai, her own son, not want to, especially after he left home for several years without knowing why, dragging his scarred body back to the funeral.

Xie Shuning felt more and more that it was not good for her group of people to stay in the Hu family any longer, and she couldn't wait to leave overnight. But now go. It will only be more noticeable. She can't act rashly.

But in this way, the night seems to be longer and longer.

Aunt Hu will definitely not hide the fact that their group is sleeping, but fortunately, she does not know their specific identities.

Xie Shuning was ready to stay up until Yan Huai left. Or as soon as the sky turned white, he called Yun Zhan's master and apprentice up and hurried back to Zhuangzi.

Suddenly, Xie Shuning was stunned, she grabbed Turan and asked, "Winter until night, but you slept in the carriage?" ”

Turan replied: "Mr. Evening asked him to sleep in the house at night, but he refused, saying that there were bunks on the left and right." It's better to sleep in the carriage and still take care of things. It was indeed sleeping in the carriage. ”

Xie Shuning supported his forehead, and their carriage stopped outside the small courtyard of the Hu family. It's just a wall. Yan Huai knocked on the door outside the main gate, waiting for Uncle Hu to open the door before entering the courtyard. In this way, the winter solstice slept in the carriage to thank Shuning for his understanding. Presumably it should be listened to or not. What she hadn't heard just now, the winter solstice should have been heard in her ears.

However, these are the same thing, presumably it doesn't matter whether the winter solstice overhears the conversation of Yan Huai and the others.

The important thing is that Yan Huai has to be blind to not see the two conspicuous carriages?

Xie Shuning was in a hurry, and he was so anxious.

It has been about a quarter of an hour since Yan Huai and the others saw Xin Niang. I don't know when their conversation will end.

Xie Shuning suddenly had the urge to flee immediately.

The more you try to avoid things, the harder it seems to be to avoid them.

Didn't wait for her to come up with a reason. Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and the courtyard gate was slammed into the sky, as if it would fall down in the next moment. Xie Shuning's eyes subconsciously looked at the light on the window of the hall, the candle flame was still faintly lit, and the people inside should not have moved.

Who's knocking on the door?

Just as he was thinking, the earth-shattering knock on the door suddenly stopped, and then a very sad voice pierced the night-"Uncle Hu save me!" ”

Although the voice was shouting in a different tone, it could still be heard as a child.

Xie Shuning was shocked.

The winter solstice is still outside!

She hurriedly pushed Turan and said, "Light the lamp!" ”

Turan jumped to his feet and clicked twice to light the candle resting on the table.

"Go next door and see if Master and Senior Brother have gotten up." Xie Shuning followed closely and got off the kang, grabbed his clothes and put them on three or two times, bent down to put on his shoes, and hurriedly instructed Tulan, "If you wake up, you don't have to come back, just shout outside the window, and go out to find the winter solstice." ”

When Dong Solstice went to Mobei with them, he had been with Scar's group for a long time, and he had also practiced, but compared to him, he was not as good as Tulan.

The screams outside had stopped abruptly, and the night had returned to tranquility, but in Xie Shuning's opinion, this was not a good sign.

Turan pushed the door open, and she dressed up, packing up the contents of the house, ready to pick them up and go. Fortunately, this time I came out for a temporary stay for a day or two, and I brought few things, and now I can clean up quickly.

The footsteps in the courtyard sounded chaotically, and the few people who were talking in the hall also came out after hearing the movement.

But Xie Shuning's attention was already on packing up her things, and she didn't have time to be distracted to go out to take a look at Yan Huai and the others.

"Miss, sir is up!"

It seemed to be just the blink of an eye, and Turan's voice rang out outside.

Xie Shuning didn't dare to raise his voice, and immediately walked out of the door with a few baggage, and walked towards Mr. Yun Zhan.

Turan was no longer visible outside the house, presumably to find the winter solstice.

But what was going on outside, Xie Shuning didn't have a conclusion at all, thinking about Fang Cai's sharp cry for help, she gritted her teeth and rushed into the house of Mr. Yun Zhan's master and apprentice without looking back.

Mr. Yun Zhan was bending down to pack up the books, and when he saw that she was wearing the small men's clothes that he wore during the day, he nodded and said, "That's appropriate." ”

Yun Guihe, who was helping to clean up his things on the side, also turned his head to look at Xie Shuning a few times, looked away noncommittally, and asked about the movement outside with a gesture.

Xie Shuning pursed her lips and shook her head, and finally turned around to look into the courtyard.

Uncle Hu, who was honest and honest when he was born, stood there, rubbing his hands anxiously as if he was about to go out of the courtyard, but was blocked by a young man with raw eyes. Sure enough, as Turan just said, he was about twenty-four or five years old. It looks like it's good.

Xu was aware of her gaze, and a person suddenly stood up on the right side of this person, and looked at her definitely.

It's Yan Huai.

Xie Shuning did not dodge or dodge. He looked at him with a frown.

She was wearing men's clothes, and it was dark all around, and Yan Huai might not be able to recognize her.

"It's Mao Mao outside the door!" Uncle Hu shouted, still going outside.

Aunt Hu eagerly dissuaded in a voice on the side: "Xianggong, don't go, Mao Mao is already ...... He's ......"

Mao Mao is a child from the house next door, a child suddenly ran out in the middle of the night to shout for help, but I am afraid that the adults in the family are already more than lucky. Not to mention the sound of fighting each other just now. It's still in my ears!

But Uncle Hu has an upright temperament, so he can't bear it.

At this moment, Yan Huai suddenly said, "I'm afraid that someone from there is coming." ”

Uncle Hu was confused. I didn't understand it at all, but Aunt Hu immediately felt that her legs were weak, and she said tremblingly: "Is it the second miss?" ”

Yan Huai didn't answer, but said hurriedly: "It's too late." I'm afraid that the outside is already surrounded. ”

Since the child's screams stopped abruptly. There wasn't even any movement outside. The croaking of frogs in the pond and the crickets and gnats in the grass seemed to disappear in an instant, not to mention the barking of dogs in the village.

If he was not mistaken, the group of people was afraid that they had searched all the way from house to house......

There has been no movement in front of me, and I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, so I asked the child next door to sneak out and knock on the door for help.

Listening to his words, Xie Shuning also thought the same thing in her heart.

She couldn't help but become more and more worried about Turan and the winter solstice. If the Hu family has been besieged, then they may also be more auspicious. And. She knew that the two Turans would not leave their masters and run for their lives, so they would either be outside waiting for an opportunity to break in and rescue them, or they would have been killed.

But since Turan's departure, she has not heard the sound of soldiers meeting each other, and she still has a glimmer of life.

"Shizi, run away! Run! Aunt Hu trembled, turned around and grabbed Yan Huai's sleeve, dragging him in the other direction, "You go to the small door of the stove!" They must not have discovered the place yet! ”

There is a door in the kitchen, which is rarely used on weekdays, and there is a pile of firewood and hay outside the door, and no one will find it if you are not careful.

But Yan Huai knew who was chasing this time.

It was he who was careless, thinking that Yan Lin fell off the horse and broke his leg, how could his stepmother be flustered for a while, so he took this opportunity to take the risk to find Xinniang. Who knows, her people are still in hot pursuit.

The people left behind by my father, these days he has used both soft and hard with auspiciousness, but he has also taken back most of them.

The stepmother was already quite unable to grasp them.

In the end, this group of people is chasing the Duke of Chengguo in the past dynasties, not following the Duchess of Chengguo.

Because of this, Yan Huai glanced at Ji Xiang and held the sword at his waist.

In order to find people, they are willing to slaughter the village, the methods of this group of people are cruel and ruthless, and it is really difficult to deal with, and I don't know where Xiao Wan's got them.

When Aunt Hu saw that he didn't move, she couldn't help but burst into tears: "Shizi, you can't stay here, even if you die, it's definitely not today!" ”

Yan Huai smiled and shook his head, "I won't die, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the small door between the stoves." ”

He said it for sure, which made Xie Shuning, who was secretly thinking about how to walk from the stove, stunned.

Yan Huai raised his hand and suddenly pointed in a certain direction, the timbre of the young Qingyue was like broken ice in the dark night, "The black smoke has burned." After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned around and took a step back, and said in a mournful voice from Ji Xiang: "The five people of Tianzi, I'm afraid they have all been killed." ”

He spared his life, and he cherished it very much.

So this time on an adventurous trip, in addition to auspiciousness, he also specially brought five excellent guards.

However, now, they have not moved at all, and it is impossible for them to be alive.

Xie Shuning, who was standing at the door of Yun Zhan's master-apprentice room, heard this, and the burden in his hand loosened, and he fell to the ground with a "snap".

The people under Yan Huai are all dead, Turan and the winter solstice, isn't it......

The smell of tung oil gradually spread in the air, and the black smoke has drifted to everyone's eyes.

Aunt Hu trembled, and finally recognized that where the kitchen was, there was already a raging fire, and the firewood was crackling, where was there still a way to live. She fell into Uncle Hu's arms, and only then did she remember her daughter, and she exclaimed: "Winter snow!" Winter snow! ”

But in the quiet night, no one responded to her at all.

Yun Zhan's master and apprentice walked out of the door and were stunned when they saw the billowing smoke: "It's actually a fire attack......

However, Xie Shuning and Yan Huai said in unison: "More than that!" ”

Dongxue did not respond, and must have been killed.

The murderer, when no one had noticed, had emerged from a dark corner that they had not noticed.

Xie Shuning was chilled, feeling that she was really unlucky.

Could it be that she was so easy to live again, but she died together for Yan Huai, who was young in the same year?

Bah!

Even if she died, she wouldn't die today!
