Among the crazy dogwoods, the man was dressed in a pitch-black cloak, a thin body, and too pale skin, which was clearly the person in the mouth of the fishing boat! Qing Ruxu was frightened by her, and immediately reacted, and quickly stepped back!

Xiong Bao'er followed closely behind her, reacted quickly, and squeezed directly between the two of them in a flash, blocking the cloaked man who reached over and grabbed Qing Ruxu's hand.

"Bao'er be careful!"

Qingruxu reminded urgently, but the cloaked man and Bao'er retreated as soon as they touched it, and they had no intention of confronting her at all. "If you want Song Ying to live, just stay honest and don't move!"

Xiong Bao'er stiffened when she heard this, and restrained her body to protect her in front of Qing Ruxu. Xue Yun and Shizhou were already completely stupefied when they stood on the other side of the Moon Gate.

"Who the hell are you? Where is Song Ying? Qing Ruxu calmed down at this time and looked closely, only to find that the cloaked man was wearing half a mask, covering the lower half of her face, and because she was wearing a hood, she could only see a pair of eyes exposed at this time. Her hands were unusually pale and emaciated by the black cloak.

Even against the backdrop of such a bright color of Dogwood, it still can't hide the gloomy temperament she exudes.

"If you want to know where Song Ying is, just follow me."

The other party's voice was hoarse, but he could still hear that it was a woman. Qing Ruxu listened to her cold voice, and couldn't help but shudder, "How do I know that you're not lying to me?" ”

The woman's voice was not salty or light, it was very calm, as if Qing Ruxu was just a prey of arrest in front of her, and she was not worried that she would be able to escape: "You have delayed a lot of time, if you don't want Song Ying to bleed to death, just follow me obediently." ”

"Good...... I'll go with you! Qing Ruxu was talking while gesturing to Xue Yun and Shizhou on the other side of the Moon Gate under the cover of Bao'er.

Xue Yun saw a pale and thin hand behind the moon gate grabbing Qing Ruxu, like a god of death asking for her life, she was already stupid, she looked at Qing Ruxu blankly, and there was no reaction at all, or Shizhou was the first to react, covering Xue Yun's mouth and pulling her back, Xue Yun's two girls also reacted when they saw this, and retreated in a panic.

A few people turned to the front of the water pavilion, and Xue Zhun resumed his normal breathing, gasping for breath, as if he was dying and suddenly returned to the water. "Who is the man behind the Moon Gate? I heard the man seem to be threatening Qing Ruxu......"

Shizhou barely kept his composure, "County Lord, our girl is in danger, we have to find someone to help!" ”

Xue Yun's head was dazed, and he turned around in a hurry, "Looking for someone to help, who should I ask for help?" ”

Shizhou was anxious enough, stomped his feet and said: "County Lord, you first let someone go to tell the County Lord of Yongping, and let her block the doors of all the mansions, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, lest the thieves escape." Then let's go to Xue Xiaohou Ye, he should be with Jiang Tanhua! Jiang Tanhua can save our girl! ”

Xue Yun's brain couldn't turn at all, and she didn't think about why Shizhou knew her eldest brother's movements, and when she heard this, she directly ordered the maidservants beside her: "Min'er, if you go back to my mother, you will say that there are thieves in the house, and Miss Song is in danger." Muyue, you go and temporarily gather all the daughters of all the families in the mansion in the flower hall, and tell the mothers-in-law to guard them. ”

Min'er and Muyue agreed and hurried to do it. Xue Yun dragged the boat to the front yard and asked a few people, all of whom said that Xue Zhun was talking with Bai Shizi and Jiang Tanhua in the pavilion on the east side of the garden. The Yuyun Pavilion was built on a rockery, so the two of them ran violently for a while, and before they reached the pavilion, Jiang Rin saw Shizhou with sharp eyes, and his pupils shrank, "It's not good, something happened!" ”

Xue Zhun and Bai Jingze were stunned, Jiang Rin had already jumped off the rockery, "Pick up the boat, where are you girls?" ”

Shizhou couldn't catch his breath, and he compared with Xue Yun and the two of them again and again.

"Water, water pavilion...... Back ......"

"Someone...... Caught Song ...... Five girls"

Jiang Rin's pupils shrank, and he didn't care about the others, so he pulled Xue Zhun up: "Where is the Water Pavilion, lead the way!" ”

It took Xue Zhun a long time to react that "Song Wu Girl" is Song Ying! He didn't know what was going on, but he also knew that something was wrong, so he didn't ask a word, and ran directly to the Water Pavilion. Both of them had martial arts, and they returned to the Water Pavilion in a moment, but there was no one near the Moon Gate behind them.

………………

In the main courtyard, the county lord of Yongping was asking about the situation of today's flower party with the people around him, and Min'er crawled in: "County lord, it's not good!" ”

The county lord of Yongping was listening energetically, and when he saw Min'er's appearance, he was unhappy and said, "Why are you so frightened!" Don't look at what the occasion is today! ”

Min'er couldn't care about the anger of the county lord, and said: "County lord, there are thieves in the house, it seems that the fifth girl Song has been arrested, and the eldest girl has found out about that person's whereabouts, and now I don't know what the situation is!" ”

The county lord of Yongping was suddenly shocked, and stood up from the chair with a sudden: "Thief? And arrested? ”

"Yes, Miss Qing found that Miss Song Wu was gone, so she came to ask the county lord to help find it, walked to the Moon Gate behind the Water Pavilion, and found Miss Song's purse, Miss Qing was about to go through the Moon Gate to find someone, but suddenly someone wanted to attack Miss Qing and was stopped by her maid. The county lord escaped to find the little marquis for help, let the slave and maid come to tell the county lord, close the door of the mansion, don't let the thieves escape! ”

The face of the county lord of Yongping changed greatly, "Someone! Come on! ”

Hearing the anxious call of the county lord of Yongping, many subordinates rushed to hear the sound. The county lord of Yongling commanded repeatedly: "Mama Wang, you take people to gather all the guests in the house today in the flower hall to ensure everyone's safety and see if anyone is missing." ”

"Steward Sun, you are in a hurry to protect the mansion, block the door of the mansion and the front and rear corner doors, and only allow you to enter but not to go out! And let people quickly search the house for the movements of the thieves! ”

Everyone received the order and moved one after another, and the county lord of Yongping asked Min'er again: "Where is the county lord now, and where is the little marquis?" ”

"The county lord just went to ask the little marquis for help, the little marquis should be with Jiang Tanhua and Bai Shizi, and now he should also rush to the water pavilion!"

"The houses behind the Water Pavilion are all uninhabited, it seems that this thief has already planned something!" The county lord of Yongping walked back and forth, thought for a while, and said, "You go and look around the situation in the mansion, and I will go to the flower hall now to appease the guests." ”

………………

With Song Ying as a threat, Qing Ruxu didn't dare to act rashly at all, she followed the cloak man to the end of the entangled Dogwood, and saw Su Mu lying on the ground lying motionless, Bao'er stepped forward to turn her over and looked, only to see that her face was bloodless, her eyes were tightly closed, and a dagger was deeply inserted in her chest.

Qing Ruxu gasped, and asked in disbelief: "She's dead?" ”

Boa stood up and nodded at her.

Qing Ruxu looked at the cloaked man, and the other party's eyes were full of mockery, as if he was despising her for making a fuss about a servant. "Where the hell is my cousin!"

When the other party heard this, he just glanced at her lightly, "If you want to save people, don't delay any longer." ”

Qing Ruxu had no other way but to continue to follow her.

The Xuanping Marquis Mansion covers a vast area, and was previously a powerful prince's mansion, and was later rewarded to the favored Yongping County Lord by the Empress Dowager.

Because the emperor advocated diligence and thrift, after the Yongping county lord and his wife moved in, not all the places in the house were repaired, and many places were old and dusty, and no one usually came at all.

The Cloaked Man finally stopped.

Qing Ruxu looked up and saw a two-story building in front of him, with three big characters written on the black and gold strokes on the plaque: Cuiping Pavilion.

The cloaked man looked calm, and the thin lips under the mask slightly flashed a hint of indifference: "Song Ying is inside." ”

Qing Ruxu did not hesitate when she heard this, raised her feet and walked up the steps quickly to push open the door, and at a glance she saw Song Ying sitting in the corner with her head tilted!

"Cousin!"

The flying dust danced uneasily in the light, and Song Ying was dressed in a light pink Confucian skirt, like a broken doll being placed there, and her life was weakening. Qing Ruxu rushed forward and found that her wrist had been cut out of a deep hole, and blood flowed out of it little by little, spreading out of her hand, like a black and red mandala.

"Cousin, wake up!"

Song Ying heard someone calling in his ear in a trance, opened his eyes slightly, but couldn't see the person in front of him clearly, and the voice was sometimes loud and sometimes small, and he couldn't really hear it.

Xiong Bao'er ripped off the hem of her skirt and tied it to Song Ying's wound to stop the bleeding for her: "Can't delay, she has already shed so much blood!" ”

Qing Ruxu stroked Song Ying's cheek, stood up and said to the cloaked man: "Say, what do you want to do?" ”

"It's simple." The cloaked man whispered, "One life for another." ”

"One life...... A life? Qing Ruxu's complexion changed, she looked at the cloaked man's only exposed eyes, which were not smiling, not angry, but also affectionate, just a pair of eyes, she knew that she must be a beauty. It's just that Qing Ruxu can't guess who she is.

Aunt Guan is dead, and even if she is alive, she is about the same age as her grandmother. But the woman's posture and voice in front of her were not at all like her grandmother's age. "Who the hell are you? Is this done to avenge the Xiao Song family? ”

Although Xiao Song died at the hands of Qing Ruchu, the other party obviously blamed Xiao Song's death on her.

"Why do you have to ask so much, I will never give the dead a chance to talk more, and it will change later. You still hurry up and choose whether you will die or she will die. ”

Qingru Xu and Bao'er glanced at each other.

Bao'er can resist the cloak man for a while, but she may not be able to defeat the other party, so Qingru can't gamble with Song Ying's life.

Either let Bao'er leave with Song Ying and seek medical treatment quickly, or withdraw under Bao'er's protection.

So, in fact, she has only one choice. Because she couldn't watch Song Ying die in front of her eyes.

"Bao'er, you take your cousin first."

"No way!" Xiong Bao'er shook her head: "Childe asked me to stay by your side to protect your safety, Bao'er must not leave the girl here alone." ”

Qing Ruxu said firmly: "If you don't do what I say, you don't have to follow me in the future, you go to your master." ”
