"Miss, this is the walnut crisp I brought back from a merchant in the Western Regions when I was in Yuzhou, you can try it!"

Ouyang He slowly put down the brush to correct the accounts of the villa, and raised his head to look at Yuxin's smiling face as bright as a sunflower.

"How is it, does Miss think it's sweet?" After Ouyang He smiled and ate a bite of walnut cake, Yuxin couldn't wait to lie on the desk and ask her how she felt.

"Well, sweet, Xin'er's fancy pastry will definitely not be bad. It's just that, for some reason, I can buy this kind of sweets in Yuzhou at any time, but I always feel that such a sweet taste has become so unfamiliar. Ouyang He choked up and ate the walnut crisp while saying with mixed feelings.

"Miss, I'...... You may have to leave the lodge for a while. As soon as the picture turned, Yuxin smiled and sat down opposite Ouyang He's case and said, "Miss must promise me that when I am not by Miss's side, you must cherish and take care of yourself, and don't let Xin'er worry." ”

"Xin'er, are you ...... Already because of his business...... Hate me? Ouyang He didn't think about it anymore, she blurted out to Yuxin in a trembling and sad voice.

Yuxin showed a doting smile a little helplessly, and then she slowly stood up and walked behind Ouyang He, stretched out her warm and delicate hands, and gently stroked Ouyang He's head on her chest.

"No matter where Xin'er is, Xin'er will always like Miss the most!" Yuxin whispered softly in Ouyang He's ear with a delicate and gentle voice, "For Xin'er, Miss...... It's Xin'er's life. ”

As the warmth from Yuxin's hands gradually became imperceptible, the tears that burst out of his eyes made Ouyang He suddenly wake up from his slumber again.

"Xin'er ......" recalled Yuxin's smile, Ouyang He lightly covered his forehead and muttered to himself in a low mood.

"Are you awake? I...... I just went to the street and bought some pastries, I don't know if they suit your taste. Just as Ouyang He was trying to pull his thoughts back from the dream to reality, a man covered in a black cloth walked in with a bag of bulging things.

After Ouyang He asked him about the situation, the man told Ouyang He in a somewhat hoarse voice that she was rescued from Tongjun Mountain by another masked knight, and that she was only entrusted with the responsibility of taking care of her. As for the true identity of that person and himself, this man was not willing to let Ouyang He know.

However, although the man was tight-lipped, Ouyang He, who was as careful as silk, still noticed that the blood-soaked part of the man's waist was exactly the same as the part where someone was injured by a sneak attack before.

Since it was only a speculation with no corroboration at all, Ouyang He did not choose to ask directly, but was ready to go with the flow and thank the man for everything he had done for himself.

Just as Ouyang He subconsciously sat up supporting herself with her hands, a piercing pain suddenly came from her right hand, forcing her to lie down again with a frown on her brows.

"Girl, Lang Zhong just fixed your right arm for you, you must not let your right arm be stressed!" When the man was about to take out the tea leaves to make tea for Ouyang He, he overheard Ouyang He's rapid gasping sound due to pain, so he hurriedly threw down the tea box and rushed over.

"I have a lot of close friends who are in danger at the moment, and I must ...... Ahem...... Go back and help them! Ouyang He gritted his teeth and forced himself to sit up, then immediately got out of bed with an anxious face, put on his shoes, and then put on his coat and took Bai Lian, and staggered out of this room.

However, just as she was about to push the door open with her left hand, the man suddenly rushed over and grabbed her left hand and blocked his body in front of Ouyang He.

"Please get out of the way, he will thank him again for saving his life!" Ouyang He tried to shake her right hand and struggled to break free, but the man grabbed her left hand tightly.

"No matter what you say, from now on, I won't let you go through any more danger unless I die." The man looked at Ouyang He with a torch in his eyes and said.

Just as Ouyang He tried to continue to persuade the man to let her leave, the man's eyes suddenly widened after glancing out the window, and then he vigorously pushed Ouyang He away.

In an instant, a cold arrow shot straight into the window, and the man was immediately wounded.

At the same time, a person who made Ouyang He feel a little familiar gently pushed open the door and walked in.

"Miss Ouyang, I haven't seen you for a long time, Xiaosheng Pei Sheng, I don't know if the girl still remembers?" The person who came respectfully waved his hand to Ouyang He's side after saluting, and several of his men quickly entered the house to control the injured man.

"Pei Gongzi, of course I remember you, but I don't know what is the purpose of Gongzi's sudden visit today, and with the assassin secretly attacking?" Ouyang He clenched Bai Lian, who was tucked in his sleeve, and cautiously asked Pei Sheng in a somewhat wary tone, "Could it be that Gongzi is still angry with me about the matter of the ghost castle?" ”

"No, that day, the girl was willing to stick a knife in the ribs for others, Pei Mou was already in awe of the girl's extraordinary courage, how dare she talk about anger again? It's just that I recently heard that the girl was seriously injured by Wang Xiao, the big boss of the Wind and Thunder Hall, Xiao Sheng suddenly felt heartbroken, so he specially invited the girl to the house today, and Xiao Sheng will invite my chief imperial doctor of Da Wu to come to the girl to diagnose and treat the girl in person. Pei Sheng smiled and saluted Ouyang He again.

"Oh? It seems that Pei Gongzi's identity in Wu is extraordinary, the little girl is just a folk concubine who doesn't understand the rules of the world, I'm afraid it will be difficult to bear the love of the child, and please don't worry about the little girl's injury. Ouyang He also declined Pei Sheng's proposal with a smile, and at the same time, she also observed the situation of the masked man next to her from time to time with worried eyes.

Pei Sheng smiled slightly awkwardly, then he walked slowly to the injured man's side, and suddenly stretched out a dagger and stabbed the man's left shoulder.

The man screamed in pain, and Ouyang He, who couldn't stand it, immediately prepared to wave Bai Lian to rescue the man.

"Girl, let's save some effort, otherwise there will only be more and more holes in his body." Seeing that Pei Sheng was threatening the man's life, in order to prevent the man from being hurt again, Ouyang He forcibly suppressed his anger and asked Pei Sheng what his purpose was.

"The girl really wants to know? Then please! Pei Sheng pretended to make an inviting gesture to Ouyang He.

"No, He'er, don't go, I won't allow you to go! Come, you sanctimonious hypocrite, come and kill me! The man suddenly stood up forcibly and roared loudly at Ouyang He and Pei Sheng, and then he was kicked in the abdomen several times by Pei Sheng, and the black cloth on his face was also torn off by Pei Sheng.

"As long as the girl obediently follows me, I'll keep him fine." Under Pei Sheng's threat, Ouyang He looked at Meng Yan again with a complicated feeling, and then she lowered her head and pursed her lips in confusion, slowly stepped up with her right foot, and followed Pei Sheng to a carriage parked outside the house and decorated with exquisite decorations.

"Master Hou, it's good to see that you are safe and sound, get in the car quickly!" A person dressed as a housekeeper stepped forward and nodded and said to Pei Sheng.

"Girl, please!" Pei Sheng turned sideways and greeted Ouyang He, who was stunned for a moment after hearing the word "Hou Ye", into the car.

"Listen, no matter how prominent your status is, as long as you dare to hurt him again, I will definitely ...... I'm not done with you! Before Ouyang He entered the carriage, he said to Pei Sheng with angry eyes.

Along the way, Pei Sheng kept trying to talk to Ouyang He, but Ouyang He was unwilling to talk to him from beginning to end. After a long drive, the carriage finally returned to Jinling from Hangzhou and stopped in front of a noble residence with a plaque of "Chengle Marquis Mansion".

"Girl, we have arrived, this is Xiaosheng's residence in Jinling City." After Ouyang He cautiously stepped out of the carriage and looked around, Pei Sheng happily introduced him.

"Now that I've come here with you, can you let that friend of mine go?" Ouyang He was not interested in all the magnificent things in front of her at this time, but had been thinking about Meng Yan's safety in his heart.

"Hehe, this is not going to work! In terms of martial arts, none of us here is the girl's opponent, if I don't judge the situation and take some extraordinary measures, how can the girl stay here to recuperate? Pei Sheng still replied to Ouyang He with a gloomy and hateful smile.

"You're so confident that I'm going to turn you down because of him?" Ouyang He asked with a serious look into Pei Sheng's eyes.

"Miss Ouyang, although you are also a well-known figure among the young generation in the entire Jianghu, I think it is still necessary for me to remind you that in this troubled world, kindness will be your most fatal and easily controlled weakness." Pei Sheng suddenly leaned down and said to Ouyang He seriously.

"Heh, so you can live and use it now?" Ouyang He asked Pei Sheng rhetorically in a mocking tone, and then continued to ask him what he wanted.

"Can you stay in the house to recuperate first? I'll send someone to pay attention to the affairs of your friends on Tongjun Mountain. Pei Sheng said to Ouyang He with a slightly soft expression.

"Now, do I have any other choice? Lead the way, let me see what a hypocritical and ruthless person looks like in the place where he grew up. Ouyang He was forced to follow Pei Sheng into the mansion in reluctance.

Unexpectedly, not long after she entered the courtyard, a young woman walked briskly towards the two of them.

"Miss Xu, why are you here?" Pei Sheng seemed a little surprised when he saw the visitor.

"Master Pei, our young lady has been waiting for you for nearly two hours today, that is, to enter the palace to meet the queen mother, and our young lady has never waited so long." The personal maid beside Xu Yanyan said with an arrogant face.

"Miss Xu, why is it good to send someone to send a message to Ben Hou, why do you need to come here and run in person?" Pei Sheng changed his sleek face and said to Xu Yanyan.

"I just want to know, what does Hou Ye Pei think about his father's previous proposal to marry?" Xu Yanyan asked Pei Sheng with a somewhat angry look.

"Hehe, my idea is simple, I ...... Refuse! After Pei Sheng finished answering Xu Yanyan expressionlessly, he turned his head and looked at Ouyang He with affection, "In my heart, only she is worthy of the position of this Chengle Marquis." ”

"You ......" Just when Ouyang He angrily pushed Pei Sheng away and was about to explain to Xu Yanyan, Xu Yanyan slapped Ouyang He in the face without saying anything.

"Whoever dares to humiliate me Xu Yanyan, I will not let her have a good time, let's go!" After Xu Yanyan put down this cruel sentence proudly, she waved her hand and walked away.

"Don't go!" Ouyang He, who was threatened first, and then was inexplicably slapped, and suddenly became angry, tried to stop Xu Yanyan to confront her, but then she was forcibly pulled by Pei Sheng.

"You're almost a Benhou person, why do you care about other people's opinions?" Although Ouyang He had expected it, when Pei Sheng personally confessed his main purpose to her, a chilling sense of powerlessness began to linger in her heart.
