Chapter Twenty-Three: Don't Provoke the Faithful Servant
The sword light was like a snake, and the two people guarding the door both fell, scarlet blood splashed on the window, and the adoptive father subconsciously protected her behind him.
"There is a secret passage in the house, with their kung fu can be found out quickly, you take your adoptive mother Xiao Wu to go first, and I will give you the queen of the palace."
How could he, a healer, stop the menacing executioner?
It's nothing more than sending them to death to buy time.
A cold glint crossed Zhou Huan's eyes, and he dragged him behind him, "Mrs. Zhou sent someone over, but she just wanted to take you hostage, and you stayed here to get in the middle of it, but it was me, Miss Yan, they would never dare to move." ”
The concubine of the king of Chu who did not pass through the door died in Tongrentang in an unknown manner, and the emperor will definitely investigate it strictly, and the Liu family and a woman can't stop it at all.
I don't know when, Qi Yu actually became her hole card.
Zhou Huan pushed Xiao Er and him into the inner room and poured himself a cup of tea.
The cold arrow pierced the air and attacked the guard, and the guard who raised his hand to push the door couldn't hide at all, and he watched his arm being stabbed with thousands of holes, and even his screams turned pale.
The dark guard behind was stunned for a moment, and hesitated to go up.
They are a group of secret guards trained by the Liu family with a lot of money, this time in order to catch Miss Yan's adoptive parents, the secret guards are pouring out of the nest, but there are only more than ten people left alive to get here.
Knowing that the person to be arrested was in the house, this door was a hurdle that could not be crossed.
"Fight!" The man with his arms gritted his teeth and kicked the door open, and with a thud his body was pierced into a hornet's nest, and when he fell, his body went straight into the depths with an arrow.
One person came out and attacked in a group, rushing into the house almost instantly.
It is not the two old and the young who are waiting, but Zhou Huan, who has been watching for a long time.
"Big brothers, you have to come here despite difficulties and dangers, and I want to come here to have something that attracts you."
Zhou Huanying got up, and the teacup in her hand turned around, and the water did not fall.
There were a few fists with poor concentration that creaked, and if it weren't for the only reason left to tell him, this person must not move, or he would have to raise his sword and avenge his dead brothers.
Zhou Huan looked away from his hand with a smile, took a sip and said, "Let me guess, it won't be Mrs. Zhou who sent you to arrest my adoptive parents." ”
She put the teacup on the table heavily, and her face changed instantly, "But it's a pity that you worked so hard to break in, but you only saw me detoxifying here." ”
The lucky man looked at each other, it should have been a murderous weapon cultivated by the Liu family, but after experiencing life and death, he showed his intentions.
Zhou Huan's eyes moved slightly, and his words changed: "It's better for you to be my subordinates, I can consider sparing your lives." ”
She sat on the table and looked at a few people insolently.
The black power suit was put on the body, so that people could not see the blood, and from the tired demeanor and deep despair, it could be inferred that they were at the end of the crossbow.
was provoked by her, and the flesh and blood showed his sword and roared: "You trick me!" ”
The sword that flashed with cold light stopped a few centimeters away from her face, Zhou Huan was not afraid to laugh, if it was short-lived, "Trick you, what can you do with me?" ”
"You!"
She gently pushed the sword away with her fingertips, and said lightly, "If you want to blame, blame your master for being too stupid to even see the trap." ”
"You are not allowed to speak of our master." One of the guards threw out a throwing knife, and although it didn't hurt her, he cut off half of her hair.
The seaweed-like hair slanted down like a waterfall, Zhou Huan was nervous, and shook his head pretending to be fearless, letting the hair hit his beautiful face.
Enchanting and colorful.
Zhou Huan raised his eyebrows and looked at the person who made the secret weapon, and he subconsciously put on guard.
"It's really heartfelt, but you remember the dead brother, she may not be able to remember, today's mission failed, and those of you who survived will not escape punishment."
In the face of life and death, it is easy to destroy people's beliefs, and who knows that the secret guards not only did not waver, but also drew their swords one after another.
"Don't listen to the witch's nonsense."
"Aren't you very good at talking? I'd like to see if you can still say it so well with your mouth closed? ”
A secret guard cut off the corner of her clothes and was about to plug her mouth, Zhou Huan frowned, and said coldly, "You can't stop the wolf ambition of the Liu family if you block my mouth, you are a chess piece in her eyes!" ”
There were a few who were struggling, and Zhou Huan took the opportunity to take a stool and knock down the nearest one.
Xiao Er just said that he had already launched a signal flare, and it stands to reason that he should have arrived, why can't he see anyone now?
The silver moon hidden on the eaves had a smile in her eyes that were originally full of evil spirits.
At this time, I heard an angry shout from below: "You shut up for me!" ”
The abnormal movement in the air lifted the hair, and Yinyue looked abrupt, turned over and fell.
When the tip of the sword was about to stab Zhou Huan, he bent down and picked him up, and narrowly escaped from the two swords.
The action is so fast that people don't have time to react, and they are in the air.
"Next time, don't provoke loyal servants with the law." Silver Moon sighed in her ear and gently pushed her out of her arms.
Zhou Huan turned around and was startled by snowfall.
"Am I not procrastinating?"
The man hiding under the mask hooked his lips and smiled evilly, took out his saber to block the hidden weapon, and with the turn of his wrist, the hidden weapon flew back along the road he came.
However, in a few rounds, the remaining Dark Guards were wiped out by him.
There are no bells and whistles in the sword, but a slaughter without the power to fight back.
Yinyue rubbed the sword against the dead man's clean clothes, "What do you want me to do?" Hurry up and chase back while your adoptive parents haven't gone far. ”
The white snow was stained red with blood, and the blood flowed out of countless rivers, looking like a manzhu sawa flower from a distance.
Zhou Huan lifted the hem of his skirt and carefully stepped over the dead man, walked halfway, turned back and whispered, "I don't know where the secret passage is." ”
Silver Moon snorted, "Trouble." ”
With him leading the way, he soon found his adoptive parents.
Xiao Eryi almost cried when he saw the landlord, "The landlord of the entire Tongrentang is estimated to be the only one who survived." ”
"You can rebuild Tongrentang with peace of mind, and sooner or later you will get this account back from Mrs. Zhou." Yinyue's slender hand regularly tapped the sword, and the cold light of the forest was printed on the silver fox mask, bewitching and cold.
Zhou Huan put Xiao Wu to sleep, and then walked up to him and stuffed the money bag into his hand.
"It's my mistake that fell into the trick of the Liu family, I know it's useless to say anything now, Tongrentang's loss can be counted on my head, and I will pay it back slowly."
Yinyue looked at her unexpectedly, and immediately put on a profligate smile, "Are you still there?" Tongrentang's loss is tens of thousands, and according to your monthly silver for a month, it will not be enough for you to pay it for two lifetimes. ”
Zhou Huan bit his lip and looked embarrassed, "Then what should I do?" ”
"I will trouble the Liu family for this matter, it is to get your whole family, and the price you have to pay may be to watch the Zhou family die."
What is the price?
The Zhou family was ruined, and she couldn't ask for it.
Before he had time to rejoice, his voice sounded again, "But I will bear 30% of the loss of Tongrentang, and the remaining 70% will be on your head, in addition to the expenses of your adoptive parents every month, the rest should be repaid for the reconstruction of Tongrentang." ”
She shouldn't have hoped for him in whatever she said.
"Okay."
I really didn't know what to say, so Zhou Huan stumbled and responded.
The person who raised his eyes had already moved elsewhere and explained the matter to Xiao Er.
The adoptive father put the cloak on Xiao Wu's body and quietly walked over to her and sat down.
"In the future, I will improve my medical skills more, so as not to be plotted by villains again."
Zhou Huan forced a smile: "With you as a master, maybe my medical skills will become the best in the world." ”
The adoptive mother was still frowning, but she was so amused that she covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't play tricks, you hurry back to Zhou's mansion so as not to be troubled, there will be no more mistakes with the landlord here." ”
She is a careful person, and she has already guessed the cause and effect.
Zhou Huan knew that it was useless to talk too much, nodded at Yinyue, and hurried back to Zhou's mansion.
I don't know if it was because the whole army of the secret guards was wiped out and no one brought a letter to the Liu family, so no one was sent to find trouble that night.
After breakfast, as usual, she took some things that were not too expensive and relieved her grandmother's boredom.
After hitting the scales of the Zhou family tilted towards Zhou Huan, Liu's mother and daughter were the first to return to the old lady.
Lin Shi rolled his eyes and covered his lips with a handkerchief, "Zhou Qing finally got up early, and the maids used to shout before they got up, but I haven't heard the news of the change of maids in Qiuning Courtyard recently." ”
This is not leaky, Zhou Qing's face is red and white, and she has to smile and scold her.
"I want to see my grandmother earlier, it's been a month and I haven't seen the ice and snow melting, my grandmother can rarely go out, it must be boring to go out alone, and I have nothing to do, and I can still do it with my grandmother to relieve her boredom."
A mouthful of grandmother's sweet name, obedient eyebrows and eyes can see her youthful appearance as a child, compared with Zhou Huan, Zhou Qing was raised by her, and it stands to reason that she is biased.
The old lady smiled and nodded, and stuffed the stove in her hand to her, "You girl is boring, let you relieve my boredom, I'm afraid I will have to turn the sky upside down, I can't stand it." ”
"Look at what my grandmother said, my good intentions have become bad, and I don't follow them." Zhou Huan pursed his mouth, bit his upper lip with his teeth, and stomped his feet dissatisfied.
The old lady was amused by her, and stuffed a golden hairpin to coax her, but it seemed that the young lady on the other side became air.
Lin glanced at her with a smile, and said casually, "What is Huan'er holding in her hand?" ”
What an event!
Liu glared at her, and seeing that the old lady was distracted, he said in a low voice, "Huan'er, this girl has a lot of ideas, I think it's something for the old lady to relieve her boredom." ”
When it comes out of different people's mouths, the effect is different.
A ghost idea reminded the old lady of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she almost offended the imperial concubine, if it wasn't for King Jing's rescue, she would be afraid to fold in the palace.
His face suddenly turned a little colder: "I understand your kindness, Yuzhi put things away." ”
Zhou Huan knocked on the bronze pieces of different sizes, and the dingdong made different sounds, and it was a beautiful song when they were connected together.
"Isn't this a musical instrument? How have I never seen one? Lin snorted and caught everyone's attention.
Take a closer look, the bronze pieces are as thin as cicada wings, slightly thicker in the middle and thinner on both sides, there are just seven bronze pieces, one is smaller than a small, even the thickness is thin by the thick side, and a peony flower is carved on each one, as if you can smell the fragrance of flowers.
The old lady became interested, took one of them, and looked at it in her hand: "I am proficient in the rhythm of 100 tones, but I have never heard such a crisp sound, where did you get it?" ”
Weaving Qing was designed by her in her previous life, and it was thanks to Zhou Qing that she came into contact with the rhythm of music, and found that she had a talent for music that was beyond ordinary people, but she was inspired by a few lessons, and created a set of weaving green, which she wanted to use to honor the old lady, but who knew that after the Liu family learned about it, she took her adoptive parents as a threat, and asked her to teach Zhou Qing how to play, and became famous in one fell swoop after the peach blossom order after March.
In her previous life, she became Zhou Qing's stepping stone, and she will not be in this life, she will definitely compare her mother and mother to them, and will not give them the slightest chance to turn over!
