Chapter Twenty-Four: The Demons Are Hard to Shake

Chen An'an, who was brought into the Hou Mansion, had already woken up at this time.

It's just that I just woke up and still have some discomfort. She shook her head, which was not yet fully awake, and kneaded her forehead, her gaze blank.

In the haze, the unfamiliar environment around her made her more puzzled.

This is a girl's boudoir, with light and fragrance. The veil at the door of the bedroom swayed gently in the wind, like a flowing cloud pouring down. Such an environment made her let down her guard, slowly got up, and walked out of the bedroom.

After only a few steps, she suddenly shouted. It turned out that the clothes on his body had already been changed. Looking at the clothes on his body, he remembered what happened before he woke up, and called softly: "Brother Xiaotian......"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. After a while, there was a knock on the door. A woman's voice came: "Girl, are you awake?" The little ones are going in. ”

Without waiting for Chen An'an to respond, the door creaked open, and a little maid came in. She carried a bowl of clear soup and a few washing tools on a plate in her hand.

Seeing that Chen Anan had woken up, he said with a look of surprise: "Girl, it turns out that you are awake?" Small presumptuousness. ”

"Who called you?" Chen Anan asked.

"Our young master Xiaotian confessed. He said that he was guarding the girl and serving him well, and he would come back after going out for a while. The maidservant replied hurriedly.

Chen Anan was a little puzzled by Luo Xiaotian's new identity: "When will he come back?" ”

The maidservant replied, "I don't know, little one." ”

"Put your things down, you go out, I'll come by myself." Chen Anan commanded.

"Yes."

Then the maidservant withdrew, and closed the door.

Wait for her to walk away. Chen Anan looked around, walked to the windowsill, and couldn't help but smile. The eyes are full of clouds, and the thoughts are infinite.

Her inner contradictions: the demons in her heart pull her, making people throb; Emotions stirred her and made people's hearts bloom. She looked at the water lilies in the pool, and the lotus flowers were in full bloom when they came out of the water; The bones of the body are hidden in the water, dark and cold.

All of a sudden. At the gate of the Hou Mansion, Luo Xiaotian came back with a few people behind him. Startled, she hurriedly shrank back.

At this time, Luo Xiaotian took Zhao Susu and a few people into the Houfu guest hall, and Yao Qingshu stood at the door to greet him. When the servants saw that the master's family and the girls around him were very compatible, they couldn't help but praise each other, and hurriedly brought out tea and fruits to entertain the guests.

After everyone sat down, Luo Xiaotian hurriedly asked the maid next to him: "Has the girl An An upstairs woken up?" ”

"When I woke up, the little one sent me clear soup, and she asked me to step back, and I don't know if I drank it." The handmaid replied.

Luo Xiaotian was immediately happy, and said to Zhao Susu: "You wait for me to come back, I'll go upstairs and ask someone to come down." ”

"You go." Zhao Susu said with a smile.

Luo Xiaotian nodded in response to her, and turned around to leave the guest hall.

When he came upstairs, Luo Xiaotian knocked on Chen An'an's door: "An'an, are you there?" Can I get in? ”

"Hmm......" Chen Anan replied softly, it seemed that he was still a little unwell.

When Luo Xiaotian heard the response, he pushed the door and entered.

He walked up to Chen An'an, leaned over and asked, "Is there any discomfort?" Come—I'll take you downstairs and relax. ”

"Where's my clothes?" Chen Anan frowned tightly and asked shyly.

Luo Xiaotian saw that she was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "You...... Don't get me wrong, it's not...... I, my little sister helped you change it. ”

Until he saw Chen An'an's eyebrows gradually stretched, he helped her up and walked towards the door.

Brought into the guest hall, Luo Xiaotian introduced a few people to each other.

Zhao Yuanxi saw that it was Chen An'an, hiding like a mouse seeing a cat. His eyes were fixed on her until he made sure that he didn't have the satchel. It seems that he still remembers Xiao Ji vividly.

A rare reunion, several people chatted hotly in the guest room. Zhang Ruyue has been showing off the clothes she just got to Yao Qingshu, like a treasure. It made Zhao Yuanxi so angry that he gritted his teeth and fidgeted. Chen Anan was still a little uneasy, just a few words.

Luo Xiaotian and Zhao Susu. From time to time, they secretly squeezed their eyebrows, sent autumn waves to each other, and were intimate, immersed in the world of two people.

The intimacy that the two inadvertently revealed was unnoticeable to themselves, but others were in full view. Naturally, including Chen An'an, in her opinion, the two behaved frivolously. He snorted coldly in his heart, and then excused himself to everyone that he was unwell, and went upstairs stupidly.

It's evening. Zhao Susu was afraid that her father would be in a hurry, and her aunt was still unwell, so she could only say goodbye to Luo Xiaotian reluctantly. The two saw each other off at the gate of the Hou Mansion for a long time before they separated and left.

Chen An'an, who was standing on the windowsill upstairs, saw this scene. The pink fists were clenched, the brows were tightly locked, and the eyes were full of sorrow.

She seemed to have understood, and locked herself in her room alone, not even eating dinner. When Luo Xiaotian came up with the food, she was angry and scolded him. Luo Xiaotian was scolded angrily, puzzled. You can only leave your meals by the windowsill and go back to your room.

……

Early the next morning, a noise from the servants woke up several people.

When Luo Xiaotian went out of the room, he saw that it was the young man who was about to run. The servants were besieging him, and several of them were sitting on the ground, wailing and wailing.

He hurried forward to help. At this time, the young man has recovered his vitality and is full of fighting spirit, so he can be caught casually. So, the two got into a fight.

Luo Xiaotian also wanted to take the opportunity to play with him and extinguish his arrogance.

Although the young man's martial arts are not high, his fists and feet are no match for Luo Xiaotian. But with an agile body, Luo Xiaotian caught people several times, but he broke free.

After a while, it took a lot of effort to finally subdue him. Then, like an eagle catching a chicken, he brought the boy all the way to the guest hall.

Chen Anan was naturally awakened and walked downstairs. When I saw the boy, I was shocked.

When the young man saw her enter the door, he hurriedly broke free and saluted her respectfully: "Young master, why are you here?" ”

Chen Anan said softly: "Yun Jian, don't be rude to your brother, I saw it just now." ”

"Young master, my subordinates are not doing things well. If you fail to complete the task assigned by the Lord, please ask the young Lord to surrender. With that, the boy fell to his knees with a thud.

Seeing that he was so young and acting so old, Luo Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Yun Jian, you don't have to be polite outside, hurry up." Chen Anan hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "From now on, you won't go back to the fort." ”

Hearing this, the boy stuck to the ground like a stake and couldn't get up. No matter how hard she and Luo Xiaotian tried, they all knelt and were indifferent.

I saw him with tears in his eyes, and two lines of tears fell to the ground and ticked: "Young master, don't you want me?" I still have a way to go in again and complete the task that the Lord has given me. ”

Chen Anan shook his head, squatted down, stroked the young man's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Sister gives you another task, which is to stay here and accompany Brother Xiaotian well, he will be good to you." ”

Luo Xiaotian replied: "Yes, it is also your task to stay here, and you can't run out casually in the future." ”

This sound of sister and brother made the tense muscles of the young man's whole body relax and let down his guard. When the two of them went to help him again, they also got up.

"Yun Jian is a good boy, so you must listen to Brother Xiaotian's words, okay?" Chen Anan said to him.

Yunmi nodded and wiped the tears from his face.

This little beast was finally stabilized, and Luo Xiaotian no longer had to worry about him climbing the wall and running away in the future.

Chen Anan called Luo Xiaotian outside the door and said to him: "The child is handed over to you, you have to treat him well." You're right, they shouldn't have given up their future for my own selfish desires. ”

"Don't worry, definitely. But what do you mean by that? Are you leaving? Luo Xiaotian asked suspiciously.

"Why should I stay? Don't you have that plain girl? When Chen Anan said this, he glared angrily, and said with red eyes.

"An An......" Luo Xiaotian didn't know what to say for a while.

Chen Anan ignored him anymore, turned around to see Layun, and took him to the garden to chat.

Seeing her go out, Luo Xiaotian hurriedly called the servants around him over and instructed: "Ask Uncle Ji to arrange for someone to keep an eye on her and don't let her go out." If she is gone, you will be punished. ”

It was the first time the servant had heard such harsh words from his mouth, and he was so frightened that he hastened to answer—yes, and ran quickly to tell Aggie.

After explaining, Luo Xiaotian turned to look at the figures of Chen Anan and Yun Jian.

This is what he wants, to live in peace and contentment. There is no love and hatred, and there is no sword and sword.

He suddenly made a decision: Chen An'an's inner demon, he came to help cut it off. In order to avoid old hatreds and new ones, he must find a way to stop this operation.

……

The Lantern Festival is approaching. The city is even more lively, and the whole of Kyoto is filled with festivities.

But under this peaceful atmosphere, there is an unknown slaughter.

Somewhere in a hidden courtyard in Kyoto Castle. The group of mysterious people who entered the city were carrying the wooden boxes in the courtyard.

The scar-faced man walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked around, cleaned the wheel marks at the door, and closed the door vigilantly.

Dozens of people crowded into a small room, knocked open wooden boxes, and busily changed clothes. In the broken wooden box, hulala scattered swords and armor, bows and arrows......

The disciples of the dead were covered with black scarves over their heads and faces, and they were dressed in iron armor and crossbows and swords at their waists...... Armed at all points. They stood in line in the room, silent, and waiting.

Mo Li stood at the door of the house and stared at the gate of the courtyard, as if waiting for someone to appear.

These people, well-trained, are skilled in stealth assassination. It is also a ruthless and excellent killing machine.

Until the darkness of the night, a dark figure suddenly pushed the door in.

Mo Li hurriedly stepped forward and shouted respectfully: "Young master! ”

……

At this time, in the Hou Mansion, the servants were making a mess in the dark night. hurriedly went up and down the whole house, looking for Chen An'an's figure, and called out one after another-Miss An'an.

Aji knocked on Luo Xiaotian's door with an anxious face and said, "Young Master Xiaotian, Miss An An is gone......"

Luo Xiaotian suddenly frowned, and looked at the dark Kyoto City with solemn eyes......
