Chapter 139: Assassination

"What nonsense are you talking about......"

Ran Qiunian was just about to open her mouth to refute, but she was shocked again, she looked at Liu Yunyao carefully, and saw that she was dressed well, dressed quite expensively, not like a person in the house, she only then realized that she had probably encountered the culprit who prompted her not to move around today.

She secretly regretted in her heart, her cousin had told her to avoid these two people, but who knew that she still met her.

However, the place to meet guests is in the front yard, why did this girl appear in the back house?

"It's funny for the girl to get lost, to be able to walk from the front yard to the back house." Ran Qiunian was a little suspicious of the truth of her words, but the matter had come to this point, so she had to take people out in person.

Liu Yunyao was used to hearing Ran Qiunian's sarcasm, and at this level, she could have taken it as a deaf ear, so she responded without changing her face, and was taken away from here after Ran Qiunian.

Because of the accident of seeing Ran Qiunian, who should have drowned, Liu Yunyao's heart was in turmoil, and she had long lost her initial complacency, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Mrs. Gu, and didn't even see the face of the old general, so the two left in a gloomy manner.

On the way back to the Mansion of Qi State, the two of them both had black faces, unlike Liu Yunyao, Liu Yufei's anger was directed at the people around him: "Let you take the opportunity to find out if there is any tightly guarded place in the General's Mansion, what are you going to do?" ”

Liu Yunyao was still in her mind, she glanced at Liu Yufei, and explained: "I saw Ran Qiunian. ”

This sentence made Liu Yufei speechless, Ran Qiunian only sent Liu Yunyao to the entrance of the courtyard, and did not enter the door with her, Liu Yufei naturally had no chance to meet people.

"This matter must be told to the little grandfather as soon as possible." Liu Yufei's face was serious, Ran Qiunian was not dead, and Xiao Yin, who followed him, must also be alive and well.

In the general's mansion on the other side, after hearing Ran Qiunian finish saying that she met Liu Yunyao in the backyard, Old Madam Gu couldn't help frowning: "This girl of the Liu family is too unruly." ”

The old lady is a short-term protector, and since she is spoiled by Ran Qiunian to the core, she naturally has no good face for Liu Rumei's family.

"It seems that at this moment, the news that you have returned to Beijing safely will inevitably reach Qi Ruoyun's ears. I wonder what you're going to do? ”

Gu Zheng looked at this Xiao Yin and asked, the decision to let them suppress this news was also made by Xiao Yin before, but now that they can't hide it, they naturally have to find another charter.

"I was going to wait until Nian'er's soul sickness was cured and I asked what happened that day, and then spread the news. Now that Qi Ruoyun already knows the news that Nian'er is safe and sound, he can only take one step at a time. ”

Xiao Yin said in a deep voice, and suddenly felt a hand gently grabbing him, and when he looked down, he saw Ran Qiunian with a face full of self-blame.

"It's all because I didn't stay idle and went to that garden, otherwise I wouldn't have embarrassed Brother Yin."

Ran Qiunian was very annoyed.

But how can she be blamed for this? Xiao Yin touched her head and said slowly: "The brothers and sisters of the Liu family must have premeditated, although they don't know why they have to look around in the mansion, but Nian'er stopped her in time, it is a great achievement, why blame yourself?" ”

Seeing the two of them talking together, Old Madam Gu smiled thoughtfully, glanced at Gu Zheng, who was still stunned, and forcibly pulled the person away, leaving Xiao Yin and Ran Qiunian alone to talk.

"Grandmother, what's wrong with you, I haven't finished my sentence yet, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Gu Zheng was pulled outside the house by a puff of smoke and looked at the old lady in confusion.

"Your elm head, like your father, is an incomprehensible person, and it seems that you have to put your family affairs on the agenda as soon as possible, otherwise with your temperament, you don't know what year and month you will be able to open up."

Old Madam Gu glanced at Gu Zheng with hatred, shook her head and left.

"Grandmother, what does this mean? We just clearly talked about Brother Xiao and my cousin, why did we suddenly mention my marriage? Gu Zheng hurriedly followed, he didn't want to get married so soon, he had to make it clear.

Realizing the sudden departure of Old Madam Gu and Gu Zheng, Ran Qiunian couldn't help but blushing and removed her hand from Xiao Yin's hand, she peeked at Xiao Yin, only to feel that there was nothing better looking than the person in front of her.

Although he has long known that the two are not really husband and wife, these days, Ran Qiunian has long been accustomed to relying on the person in front of him as his other half, no matter what happened before, at least now, Ran Qiunian has identified Xiao Yin.

Thinking of this, she handed her hand over again, but Xiao Yin suddenly raised her hand and rubbed Ran Qiunian's hair, like treating a coquettish child, which made Ran Qiunian a little unhappy.

During this time, Xiao Yin saw Ran Qiunian's attitude towards him, but he didn't want to take advantage of the danger of others, and when Ran Qiunian didn't remember anything and relied on him the most, he coaxed people to make a marriage contract with him.

But Xiao Yin's concerns, Ran Qiunian didn't know, she just thought that Xiao Yin still regarded herself as a little girl, she was dissatisfied and pulled Xiao Yin's hand on her head, and left angrily.

In the evening, Ran Qiunian's anger had not completely dissipated, and he just looked down at the table in front of him at the dinner table, not saying a word to Xiao Yin.

Because of the bad mood, Ran Qiunian's appetite was not as usual, so he only ate a little casually, then put down the chopsticks, and waited for his uncle and aunt to leave the table, and without waiting for the refreshments to come up, Ran Qiunian also got up and left.

"Nian'er, what kind of temper did you have with this? In the past, I wanted to follow you and talk non-stop, but today it is strange that I didn't even say a word to you during the banquet. ”

After Ran Qiunian left, Gu Zheng couldn't hold back his question, he only heard some clues from the old lady during the day, and was thinking about paying more attention at night to see if this was the case, who knew that he was catching up with the two of them to lose their temper.

Facing Gu Zheng's inquiring eyes, Xiao Yin naturally didn't say anything, only shirked the past in a few words, put down his chopsticks and got up to leave.

Gu Zheng sat on the empty table with tears and laughter, and used up the refreshments happily, Shi Shiran went back to his courtyard.

After Xiao Yin left the table, she thought that Ran Qiunian had eaten less for dinner, and was worried that she would feel hungry before she fell asleep, so she took refreshments from the small kitchen and sent them over personally.

The moonlight is unknown tonight, and the clouds are crowding one by one, blocking the moon. The shadows of the trees rubbed against the rustling sound of the wind, and only the lanterns hanging on the inner corridor of the General's Mansion dragged the figures for a long time.

Just like Ran Qiunian's mood, it was cloudy. After she returned to the courtyard, although she was not in a good mood, she still asked people to leave the courtyard gate open, and she sat under the grape trellis in the garden, facing a game of chess, playing with and without a match, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at the courtyard gate.

She deliberately hid under the inconspicuous grapevine trellis in the corner of the yard, just to see Xiao Yin look when she came to look for her, but she couldn't see anyone in the house.

This time it will definitely make Brother Yin startled, who made him always treat himself as a child, Ran Qiunian threw down the sunspot he was holding in his hand sullenly, and the chess pieces slammed on the chessboard, making a crisp sound.

The next moment, Ran Qiunian looked up and found a figure coming in from the open courtyard gate, holding a long sword in his hand, masked in black, full of evil energy, and entered her room in a blink of an eye.

The chess piece in Ran Qiunian's hand was not held steady, and it fell to the ground with a snap, rolling into the grass at her feet, her face changed, and she was about to go out of the yard, when she saw the killer returning with a sword in vain, obviously not finding any trace of Ran Qiunian in the house.

The killer didn't notice that Ran Qiunian, who was hiding under the grape trellis in the corner, was rummaging room by room, Ran Qiunian could only hide under the grape trellis in a cold sweat, neither daring to leave nor making a noise.

There are only a few rooms in the house, if this killer finishes looking for them one by one and hasn't found himself, Ran Qiunian doesn't think he will leave directly.

But it is not a way to continue to hide here, Ran Qiunian was about to make up his mind, and when the killer came out of one room and went to another, he seized this gap and escaped from the gate of the courtyard, and the accident happened suddenly.

Out of nowhere, the killer caught a servant girl and dragged the person out of the house, put the knife on her neck and asked coldly, "Where is Ran Qiunian?" ”

Sure enough, it was for herself, Ran Qiunian thought silently in her heart, her face was anxious, she looked at the maid who was threatened by the killer, and held her breath.

The maid is the old man of the General's Mansion, the daughter of the housekeeper Uncle He, and she has nothing to say about her loyalty, so it is naturally impossible to expose Ran Qiunian's location, and the killer impatiently raised his sword to kill the maid.

Ran Qiunian finally couldn't hide, she couldn't watch this girl go to death, she deliberately swept the chessboard on the table to the ground, making a loud noise, she exposed her body and confronted the killer.

"I know where Ran Qiunian is, if you let her go, I'll take you there." Ran Qiunian was about to delay some time so that the killer could lead the killer to the most guarded place in the General's Mansion.

But who knows, as soon as the killer met Ran Qiunian's face, he sneered, as if he recognized her, casually threw away the maid who had been frightened and fainted, and raised his sword and attacked Ran Qiunian's faΓ§ade.

Ran Qiunian was shocked, the death threat that enveloped her heart like a dark cloud made her turn around and run out without any hesitation, and ran towards the wide open courtyard gate without looking back.

The killer's sword followed like a shadow, stabbing straight towards Ran Qiunian's back heart, Ran Qiunian shouted for help when she turned around and ran out, she didn't know martial arts, she could only run forward desperately.

The sword blade approaching from behind had almost pierced her body, and Ran Qiunian's forehead was covered with fine cold sweat, and just when she thought she was going to die, a stone suddenly appeared from the oblique thorn and hit the killer's sword hard.

The sword that stabbed at Ran Qiunian's back heart was deflected to the side and missed, and the next moment, Xiao Yin appeared in Ran Qiunian's sight.

"Brother Yin!" Ran Qiunian only had time to shout this sentence, and Xiao Yin had already stepped forward to fight with the masked killer.

The killer's skills are really good, Xiao Yin still injured him after a lot of effort, so that he couldn't move.

The movement here is not small, and within a moment, all the guards in the mansion have been attracted here, and in the face of the siege of the general's mansion, even Xiao Yin will not be able to leave safely when he is seriously injured.

In order to prevent the killer from committing suicide, Xiao Yin removed his chin, but who knew that the killer was still dead, foaming at the mouth, his face was blue and gray, and he should have died of poison.
