Gan Tiansheng closed his eyes and lowered his head, and the sound of a whip hitting his back was heard in his ears, and in one fell swoop, the whip marks were embedded in his skin, and the piercing pain quickly swallowed all consciousness.

There was a roar in his head, but he stubbornly refused to beg for mercy, and slowly bit out a mouthful of blood.

The sweet taste filled his mouth, and he swallowed it without hesitation.

— like swallowing these inexplicable humiliations.

After he returned home, he was escorted here, and Gan Tianyi was the first wicked person to sue him, reversing all the things that happened on the street in black and white.

As a result, his father indiscriminately enforced family law against him.

He's used to it!

- In this mansion, black is not black, white is not white, and a person with no status like him has never had the opportunity to beg for mercy and explain.

Gan Tianyi looked at him proudly, and said on fire: "Dad, you have to punish the third brother well." If he hadn't threatened me to let those people go, I would have caught those suspicious people a long time ago. Now I want to search for it, but to no avail. ”

Before, he was threatened by Gan Tiansheng on the street, and he was unwilling. When he got home, he made a big fuss. Originally, he wanted to force others to take off their clothes, but now he directly poured dirty water on Gan Tiansheng's body and deducted a charge of "colluding with foreign enemies".

A wild species of unknown origin actually dares to fight him!

It's just looking for death!

Gan Ying looked at Gan Tiansheng who was kneeling on the ground, her face was very gloomy and terrifying.

Especially when he saw the white hair, he felt a wave of anger rise in his chest, snatched the whip, threw it on Gan Tiansheng's back, and asked in a cold voice, "I raised you so big, you repay me like this?" Why did you join up with outsiders to dismantle my platform? ”

He was born mighty and tall, with a rough face, and at this moment he became angry, and the whip in his hand was more like a deadly ghost, and he had the posture of dismantling Gan Tiansheng into eight pieces.

Gan Tiansheng gritted his teeth and endured it, but he didn't cry out in pain.

Just when he suspected that he was about to die, there was a sudden exaggerated scream in the hall, and a charming woman walked in with her waist twisted, and her gestures seducted people's hearts, which immediately made Gan Ying and Gan Tianyi's eyes light up.

Gan Ying coughed a few times, stuffed the whip into the arms of the subordinate, looked at the woman with her hands, and pretended to be displeased: "Hua Niang, you are not staying in the backyard, what are you doing here?" ”

The woman named Hua Niang covered her lips and smiled, her laughter was charming and soft, and it fell on people's hearts, as if there was a hand hooking her soul lightly and lightly, making people extremely uncomfortable.

She didn't seem to notice the strangeness of the father and son, but looked at Gan Tiansheng who was kneeling on the ground, and said in surprise: "Oh, isn't this the third son?" Master, what crime did the third prince commit to be punished with such a serious family law? ”

Gan Ying glared at Gan Tiansheng and said angrily, "Do you know what you did wrong? ”

"The child knows his mistakes." Gan Tiansheng's clenched teeth loosened, and four words popped out of his teeth with difficulty.

A trail of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, falling to the ground drop by drop, slowly blurring a red bloodstain.

The face of the flower girl next to Gan Ying turned pale, and she held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, covering the inexplicable light in her eyes.

As if she had been frightened by something, she threw herself into Gan Ying's arms in front of everyone's eyes, and exclaimed, "Master, this is too cruel and bloody. Even if the third prince did something wrong, he shouldn't be punished like this! ”

When the subordinate threw herself into Gan Ying's arms, she had already been waved back.

At the moment, there are only a few people left in the hall.

A bloodthirsty cold light crossed Gan Tianyi's eyes, but he said to Hua Niang: "Aunt Hua, what do you mean by this?" Do you think that such people who collude with foreign enemies should not be severely punished? ”

This questioning also made Gan Ying wake up, and immediately pushed Hua Niang away from his embrace, and said suspiciously: "Hua Niang, what do you know?" ”

Hua Niang blinked, looking aggrieved, "Master, are you suspicious of the concubine?" You don't want to think about what you can know about the concubine who stays in the backyard all the time? ”

She is already charming and moving, and at this moment, when she makes such a gesture, every move reveals a seductive temptation.

Gan Ying's eyes darkened, and she swallowed her saliva unconsciously, and her hand had already moved as she wished.

Hua Niang was pulled by him like this, her face stiffened, her fingers against his chest, as if she wanted to push him away, but when she touched the slightly rapid heartbeat, she changed her mind, and said with a smile: "Master, why do you want to be angry?" How can you say that the third son is also your son, a small punishment is good, if you hurt the harmony of father and son for this, it will be worth the loss! ”

After speaking, she also winked at Gan Ying, no matter how simple the action was, it had a smell of seduction.

Gan Ying has long been hooked by her.

Over the years, he has also seen many women, but none of them can have such an alternative and unique style as her. At this moment, a heart has already pounced on her, where do you remember the right thing?

He suddenly grabbed Hua Niang's hand, looked at Gan Tiansheng who was kneeling silently, and said hatefully: "You just kneel here and reflect!" When to think clearly, when to get up again. ”

He called the guards of the palace and told them to go into the city and search for the suspicious men. After dealing with this matter, he took Hua Niang and strode away.

Gan Tianyi looked at the figures of the two of them leaving, kicked Gan Tiansheng hatefully, slapped him again, and said proudly: "Third brother, wasn't you very capable before?" Why don't you speak? Dumb? ”

Gan Tiansheng was coldly slapped by this, and his face bloomed with blood, like a terrible ghost crawling out of hell, unspeakably terrifying. He lowered his head, resisted the fishy sweetness that welled up in his throat, and did not answer.

Seeing this, Gan Tianyi's face was full of disdain, and he took a sip at him before leaving.

By the time Gan Tiansheng returned to his house, it was already early afternoon.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind suddenly became stronger, and looking through the window, it felt like a storm was coming.

Gan Tiansheng leaned on the rattan chair under the small window, tilting his head with difficulty, watching the tree trunks flying outside.

Suddenly, a shadow enveloped him, and he turned his head suddenly, and when he saw the person standing smiling in front of him, the vigilance in his eyes suddenly faded, and he smiled: "It's you!" The house is heavily guarded, how did you get in? ”

Xie Fenghua pointed to the roof, lifted the corner of his robe and sat on the low table next to him. She looked carefully, her eyes stopped on his face, and she said with great guilt: "I'm sorry for bothering you." ”

Gan Tiansheng was stunned and shook his head, "It's okay." It's just a few lashes, and I'm used to it. But you have a special identity, and you have been discovered by my father and second brother, so you should leave here quickly. Otherwise, it's terrible to be discovered. ”

After speaking, he made a gesture to drive Xie Fenghua away, with a concerned face.

Xie Fenghua pursed his lips, took out a few bottles of medicine from his sleeve, and put them on the low table in front of him, "You are extremely injured and need to be dealt with quickly." I've brought you some medicine, so you can wipe it first. Otherwise, I'll be very upset. ”

Gan Tiansheng hurriedly nodded and thanked him, picked up the bottles of medicine, but did not move.

Xie Fenghua looked at him curiously, suddenly remembered something, stood up and looked around, and asked him, "Don't you have anyone else serving here?" ”

Gan Tiansheng's eyes were gloomy, and a bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "I'm just the most humble and lowly concubine in the house, where is there anyone who serves?" Let's leave this medicine first, I'll rub it later. ”

Xie Fenghua's eyes were dark, and he unconsciously glanced at him more. The back and face of the young man in front of him were scarlet colors, but those eyes seemed to have gone through many years of vicissitudes, revealing a sense of fatigue and fatigue.

At the age of a teenager, how do you feel that you have gone through a lifetime?

Xie Fenghua seems to understand.

Among the people she came into contact with, except for Du Huaishao, who didn't have much intersection, it was really hard for her to imagine what kind of life the son of the concubine would be in a big family.

But she knew that Gan Tiansheng was not doing well.

She clenched her fists, picked up a bottle of gold sore medicine, and said, "I'll give you medicine!" ”

Gan Tiansheng was stunned, suddenly became a little awkward, and refused: "No, no." I'll wait for myself. ”

"If it weren't for my brothers, you wouldn't have been injured and punished." Xie Fenghua glanced at his back, frowned, and said, "The wound on your back is extremely deep, and it must be treated as soon as possible." You can rest assured, it is a wound medicine, and there is no need to excuse yourself. ”

After saying this, Gan Tiansheng couldn't refute it, so he could only lie on his stomach and let her move.

Xie Fenghua took scissors to cut the blood-stained shirt on his back, wiped the skin around the wound with a damp cloth, and only after the blood stasis was cleaned up did he sprinkle the medicine powder.

Xu was afraid that he would cry out in pain, but the strength of Xie Fenghua's hands was still very light. When she had finished treating the wound on her back, she crouched down in front of him, frowning, and didn't dare to start.

The wound on his face was much worse than the wound on his back.

That Gan Tianyi is also a ruthless person, and that whip is completely merciless. If you are afraid, even if you take care of the wound on your face, you will leave a scar in the future.

She suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Xu saw her hesitation, Gan Tiansheng smiled bitterly, but comforted her, "There is no need to blame yourself." I don't care about my appearance, even if I have a scar, it doesn't make a difference. You...... Go ahead! ”

Such old-fashioned words make people sympathetic.

Xie Fenghua sighed secretly, but continued to get busy, and said as he moved: "I'm sorry." When I'm done, I'll find you the best doctor in the world. In any case, the wound on this face must be completely healed. ”

"Thank you." Gan Tiansheng smiled, but the wound on his face was touched, and he didn't even dare to laugh now.

At this moment, the dilapidated door was suddenly opened from the outside, and the autumn wind swept into the house with fallen leaves. The two looked together, but saw Hua Niang carrying a bamboo basket and standing outside the door with a hesitant expression.

When she saw the injury on Gan Tiansheng's face, an inexplicable emotion flashed in her eyes, and she muttered, "Third Prince......"

"Aunt Hua, why are you?" Gan Tiansheng's face suddenly showed a trace of panic, and he moved his body with difficulty and looked behind her. When he saw that there was no one behind her, he was also relieved.

Aunt Hua didn't hesitate, walked in, and closed the door tightly. She put down the bamboo basket, and as if she didn't see Xie Fenghua, she only said, "Third son, your injury is better?" ”

"It's better. Thank you for your concern. Just now, I had to thank my aunt for helping me out. Gan Tiansheng said with gratitude on his face.

Not long after this Aunt Hua entered the house, she was bullied by other aunts and almost lost her life. He happened to pass by and rescued her.

After that, she said that she would repay the kindness of saving his life, not only by bringing him some delicious food from time to time, but also by saying good things to his father when he was not pleasing to him.

Speaking of which, he really owes her a lot.

Aunt Hua didn't expect him to say thank you, and she was stunned for a while. When he reacted, he waved his hand, and he was rarely restrained, "The third prince is outside." If it weren't for you, the life of the concubine would have been gone. It's just that the concubine is soft-spoken, and she can't help many times. Otherwise, the third prince would not have become like this. ”

After saying that, tears suddenly appeared in her eyes, startling the other two.

Especially Gan Tiansheng, his face was more like seeing a ghost.

He knew that this Aunt Hua had a lot of tricks in her backyard, otherwise, she wouldn't have won her father's favor as soon as she entered the house.

In the past, what he saw most from Aunt Hua was the charm and coquettishness of a mature woman, how could he ever see such a crying picture? If other people in the backyard see it, I'm afraid they won't even be able to believe it.

Moreover, this crying does not look like a fake!

Could it be because of him?

Thinking of this, he coughed deliberately, breaking the slightly embarrassing atmosphere at the moment, and hesitated: "Aunt Hua, those are all over, there is no need to be sad." But you haven't told me yet, why did you suddenly come to me? ”

Aunt Hua tapped the tears in the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, glanced at Xie Fenghua, who was silent, and said, "This is what the master ordered." However, the concubine also wants to come over and send something to the third son......"

So saying, she lifted the cloth from the bamboo basket and took out all the contents of it.

Gan Tiansheng snorted coldly, glanced at it, and said coldly: "Why do you need him to be pretending to be kind? Take all these things back! I won't eat it. ”

Aunt Hua showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and she didn't care that there were outsiders present, so she persuaded from the side: "Third son, although this is what the master ordered to take, it was personally selected by the concubine. Wouldn't it be a waste to take it back like that? This son, you say yes, right? ”

Xie Fenghua didn't expect her to ask herself, she was stunned for a while, but she quickly reacted and nodded: "That's true." I can't get along with my stomach no matter what. ”

As she spoke, she took the plate of dim sum and handed it to Gan Tiansheng.

She was about to say something, when she suddenly heard a strange noise, her face was happy, she said sorry, and left in a hurry.

The room fell silent.

Aunt Hua handed a plate of osmanthus cake to Gan Tiansheng again, and said with a little coaxing: "Third son, why don't you eat a little?" If you let the master know that you haven't eaten anything, you might have to worry about it again. ”

Gan Tiansheng listened, but only smiled bitterly.

His father never took him seriously, so why worry about it?

However, he didn't want to make it difficult for Aunt Hua, so he immediately picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth.

He was really hungry, and at first he was a little embarrassed, but after eating two pieces of snack, he gobbled it up a little.

It wasn't until he finished eating a plate of osmanthus cake that he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had strength all over his body. Feeling Aunt Hua's gaze, he was a little surprised, "Let Aunt Hua smile." I'm so hungry......"

Aunt Hua smiled and said, "Why should the third prince be polite to the concubine? If you really like it, then the concubine will send you some later, don't you think? ”

Gan Tiansheng nodded hurriedly, but suddenly remembered something, and wondered: "Why has my aunt always been so good to me?" ”

Aunt Hua's eyes flashed, and her hand holding the handkerchief tightened, but she didn't dare to look at him, "Didn't the third prince once save the life of the concubine?" For life-savers, you can't do too much. ”

"That's all?" Gan Tiansheng will be skeptical.

He always felt that Aunt Hua looked at him a little strangely. But for a while, he couldn't think of what was weird.

Seeing this, Aunt Hua's expression changed, as if she was weighing something, and suddenly said, "Third son, are you thinking too much?" The grace of saving lives should be repaid with a spring! Moreover, the concubine sees that you are also a good person, so you can help a little. There are too many villains in this house, you must be extremely careful! ”

"Thank you, auntie." Gan Tiansheng put away the doubts in his heart and thanked her.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a wild child that no one wants. Since he was sensible, some people have called him a wild seed openly and secretly. At first, it sounded a little resentful, but when I grew up, I gradually became numb.

As a result, he gradually understood the way others looked at him, as if they were looking at something dirty.

Before, in this mansion, he received all kinds of malice.

Until Aunt Hua appeared and gave him a little warmth and kindness.

This made him grateful.

And Aunt Hua saw that he was in a good state, so she also relieved herself and said, "Third son, the concubine has to go back first." In the past few days, you should heal your injuries first, and don't go anywhere first. When the concubine is free, she will bring you food. ”

"Okay." Gan Tiansheng nodded hurriedly and watched her leave.

Aunt Hua picked up the bamboo basket and walked out, and when she saw Xie Fenghua who had gone and returned, a trace of inexplicable light seemed to flash in her eyes. She bit her lip on the spot, as if she had finally made up her mind, walked over, and bowed on her knees: "This must be the person saved by the third son, right?" ”

Xie Fenghua looked at her in surprise, and his sharp eyes suddenly narrowed slightly when he saw that face.

For some reason, she always felt that this face was a little unnatural.

After a while, she nodded, looked at Aunt Hua and said, "You are right. It's just, I don't know what's the matter? ”

Aunt Hua said: "Speaking of which, it's not a big deal. It's just that the concubine looks at the son's extraordinary bearing, and he is not an ordinary person. If you can, can you help a group of three sons if necessary? ”

The surprise in Xie Fenghua's eyes became stronger and stronger, "Such good intentions really impress me." What is your relationship with the third son? ”

"He saved the life of his concubine." Aunt Hua replied hastily, and bowed again, "The concubine will be the son of the princess." Say goodbye. ”

She staggered by, the candlelight under the eaves was warm and soft, shining on a line of long silver-white hair.

Xie Fenghua looked at her back thoughtfully, and only walked in the door after a moment.

When Gan Tiansheng saw her, his eyes lit up, "I thought you were gone!" ”

"Nope." Xie Fenghua went to see Dou Changke just now, and this guy said that he had found the place where the pass was stored, and nine times out of ten it was in Gan Ying's study. But according to what he said, there are many masters arranged around the study, and if you want to seize the pass, you must not act rashly.

Yes, she thought of Gan Tiansheng.

Gan Tiansheng is a member of this mansion, so he must know something, right? Wouldn't it be better if you could get useful information from here?

But when she really stood in front of Gan Tiansheng, she suddenly hesitated. Since Gan Ying attaches so much importance to the pass, she must spare no effort to guard it, if Gan Tiansheng tells her something, wouldn't she betray her father?

For a while, the choice was uncertain.

Xu saw her hesitation, Gan Tiansheng raised his head slightly, and said a little puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Xie Fenghua thought for a moment, then asked, "Does the third prince know, what is the situation in Jincheng now?" ”

"I don't know." Gan Tiansheng shook his head, as if he had an understanding, and asked, "You want to go to Jincheng?" Did you get the pass? ”

Xie Fenghua's eyes flashed, and then he shook his head.

Gan Tiansheng held the rattan chair in his hand, slowly got up, entered the inner room, and when he came out, he held a picture in his hand and said with a smile: "This is for you." Maybe it will help you. ”

Xie Fenghua looked down, but found that this was the change of guard map of the City Guard Mansion, and he was immediately overjoyed, "How can you have this picture?" ”

"I draw casually when I have nothing to do." Gan Tiansheng pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a wry smile, "It's useless to put me here, it's better to give it to someone useful." ”

Xie Fenghua asked him, "Aren't you afraid, I'm not good for the city guard?" ”

"That's your business." Gan Tiansheng said, "The people in this house are strangers to me. Moreover, Jincheng is now occupied by the Northern Underworld, and many people can't wait to stay away. If you are stubborn about going there, there must be something extremely important. I believe you. ”

He said unhurriedly, and he didn't know where the wound was involved when he got up and walked around just now, and tears were pouring out of his forehead at the moment. After the treatment of that face, the wound was no longer so hideous and terrifying, and on closer inspection, a little obvious mockery could be glimpsed.

Xie Fenghua grabbed the guard change map, threw his hand at him, and said with great gratitude: "Master Gan, thank you for your help." By the way, my surname is Xie, and this trip to Jincheng is indeed for something extremely important. Time is running out right now, and I can't stay longer. After dealing with Jincheng's affairs in the future, I will come back and take you out of this fire pit, do you think? ”

"Okay." Gan Tiansheng nodded and watched her leave.

Xie Fenghua returned to the inn and quickly discussed countermeasures with others. After dark, they must infiltrate the castle guard and steal the order. Among them, she and Dou Changke went to the study to steal orders, Yuan Mindong, Qi Lei and Xiang Qian were responsible for leading away and solving the guards around the study, while Xiang Qian went to the city gate to inquire about the news, and always pay attention to the loopholes in the city gate.

That night, a group of six people went to the castle guard's mansion.

This time, they still sneaked in from the roof, Xie Fenghua and Dou Changke sneaked into the study very smoothly, and after some searching, they finally took the order in their hands. The two were about to leave, but they didn't want to, Dou Changke suddenly tripped over something, and then the study was brightly lit, and short arrows shot out of the wall.

At the same time, there was a sudden noise outside the study.

Someone shouted, "Catch the assassin Catch the assassin—"

Xie Fenghua was in a hurry, took out the soft sword at his waist, and moved with Dou Changke to the door of the study, blocking those short arrows. At the moment of turning, she suddenly caught a glimpse of another long arrow shooting from the side, shooting straight at her.

"Beans, watch out for the arrows!" She was so anxious that she screamed, and before the words fell, her subordinates moved faster, and they had already pushed Dou Changke forward.

In the blink of an eye, the long arrow had reached her eyes, and she turned sideways slightly, but because she didn't have time to dodge, she was forced to take the arrow.

Dou Changke's eyes were cracked, and he hurriedly supported her body, and took her to the door of the study with great difficulty. It just so happened that Yuan Mindong and the three of them got rid of the guards around the study, came in time, and rushed out with them.

Suddenly, a group of men stopped their way, and the torches were burning, illuminating the night as if it were day. Gan Ying stood among those government soldiers, pointed at Xie Fenghua and the others and said angrily: "Take down these people for this official!" ”

Yuan Mindong and the other two stayed behind to hold back the pursuers. And Dou Changke took the injured Xie Fenghua to find a gap, and fled forward as if flying. Passing through the corridors, there were only a few more people following behind him, and even a few figures jumped on the roof.

Dou Changke was so anxious that he had just turned the corner of the corridor and suddenly lost his trace.

"What about people? Separate your guys and search for it! Don't let people run! ”
