(Second update.) ）

The day before yesterday, when Qin Cheng jumped into the river to hijack the boat of Xiao Linglong's mother and daughter, a fire suddenly broke out in a house three or five miles behind him. The fire lasted for a long time, and burned a small courtyard that was some years old, and everything in the small courtyard was reduced to nothing, leaving only a pile of charcoal ashes.

That night, there was a man and a dog standing in front of the small courtyard where the fire was raging. Lady Xiao was still holding the Jiao Weiqin in her arms, quietly looking at the flames that jumped high in front of her, and her face without the slightest fluctuation flickered in the firelight. The big black dog next to it stuck out its tongue at the firelight, perhaps the warmth of the fire made it very pleasant, it shook its body and barked a few times at the yard where it could only vaguely see the outline.

"You killed the person, but you asked me to clean up your tail for you, you walked too easily, right?" Lady Xiao whispered to the skyrocketing firelight, her eyes were a little dazed, after saying that, she smiled, and subconsciously tightened Jiao Weiqin in her arms, with a bit of self-deprecation in that smile, perhaps she was ashamed by her own somewhat strong words, she continued: "Unreasonable chance encounters, cheap kindness, brand new desk...... You must have had doubts in your heart for a long time, so you won't actually drink the hot soup that night. Fortunately, there was hot soup that night, otherwise I would have made a table of food, and you would have to pretend to eat it, I'm afraid it would be a lot uglier. Speaking of this, Lady Xiao seemed to think of some funny scene, and couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, she suddenly felt a little bored, Lady Xiao had no intention of continuing, and her fluttering eyes gradually cooled, as if she wanted to extinguish the dancing flame in her eyes.

Heiya called a few more times, but this time it was aimed at Lady Xiao, and it seemed that Heiya was a little anxious, probably reminding his master that it was time to leave here.

"Are you in a hurry?" Lady Xiao squatted down and touched its forehead, because the black tooth was half a person tall, and after Lady Xiao squatted down, it was not as tall as the black tooth, so it was a little weird to touch the head, "I've lived here for seven years, and you've been here for four years, right?" Now that you're leaving, you don't have a trace of nostalgia? ”

Black Fang couldn't answer her, but he whimpered twice, as if he was retorting, and didn't forget to turn his head to look at the small courtyard that was already a sea of fire.

"Let's go!" Lady Xiao patted Heifang's head, stood up, didn't look at the small courtyard again, and walked straight down the alley.

"If you die, I will collect your body, and there is this small courtyard for you to bury, you should be satisfied!" Lady Xiao's back was very cold, and her tone was like melting ice and snow, and she didn't know who she was talking to. "But when I die, I don't need someone to collect my body, let alone anything to bury me"!

"Qin Cheng, you won today, but that doesn't mean I'm losing. We'll come back in the future! ”

......

That day and night, Bai Xinxin walked out of the Qin Mansion.

When Qin Chengchen went out, he explained to Bai Xinxin that he was going to meet Gongsun Ce, and he would return in the afternoon. It's just that at dusk, Bai Xinxin still didn't see Qin Cheng's figure, which made her a little anxious. If it were placed on weekdays, Bai Xinxin would not be like this, men will always encounter foreseeable and unmet entertainment when they go out, and it is normal to return late. But today, for some reason, at dusk, Bai Xinxin felt flustered for no reason, restless, as if something was blocked in his heart, and he was very stuffy.

This made Bai Xinxin feel very bad, and at first he sent the servants in the mansion to Gongsun Mansion to inquire if Qin Cheng was still with Gongsun Ce. Naturally, the servant did not find Qin Cheng, and when he came back to report to Bai Xinxin, it was already completely dark.

Qin Cheng only has two days on vacation, and he will go back to the barracks tomorrow, and according to the usual practice, Qin Cheng will definitely not return late today. When the anxious Bai Xinxin was discussing countermeasures with Xiao Rong'er, Gongsun Ce rushed over.

"Mrs. Qin, Fang Caimou has already sent someone to investigate Brother Guo, Brother Wei, General Li, and General Han's mansion, but he didn't find Brother Qin." Gongsun Ce said, "Where else is it possible for Brother Qin to go?" ”

"There's no other possibility." Bai Xinxin said, looking anxious, "If the general returns late today, he won't give me a letter." ”

"That's weird." Gongsun Ce groaned, "Is it possible that there are any accidents?" ”

"The top priority is to go to the barracks first, if you can't find my general, it's better to take a leave of absence from General Li." Although Bai Xinxin was anxious, she still had measure. Speaking of this, Bai Xinxin remembered the several plots that Qin Cheng had encountered in Qiansang City, and her frightened body trembled a little, so she finally suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, she knew that at this time, she, the hostess, must not mess up, so she forcibly calmed down and said to Gongsun Ce: "This matter is tired." ”

"Madame, don't worry, this matter is wrapped up in someone!" After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he hurried to the northern army camp.

"Go to Lefu." Bai Xinxin greeted Xiao Rong'er, who was also anxious, and led the people to prepare the carriage and went to Le Yi's mansion to find Qin Yue.

Overnight to no avail.

The next day, Li Guang arrived at the Qin Mansion, and everyone discussed it for a while, and they all felt that this matter was a little unusual. Just kidding, a second-class general of the imperial court said that he would disappear if he didn't see it, could it be normal?

"Yesterday night, a fire broke out in the north of the city, burning several homes, and one of the small courtyards was burned to ashes!" Le Yi, who went out to inquire about the news, ran back to the Qin Mansion, and said to everyone before he had time to drink a sip of water: "I got the news from Chang'an Mansion, there were originally dead people in the courtyard, and according to the traces, there were about a dozen people, and swords and other things were dug out of the courtyard, which has already alarmed Your Majesty!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and Bai Xinxin changed color and said: "The general was calculated when he was still in the upper valley, and those people were about the same ......"

"How can it be!" Gongsun Ce slapped the desk, "Are these people crazy, they dare to use force in Chang'an City?" Of course, he didn't know that those people were completely forced to act in desperation.

"Don't be impatient!" Li Guang said in a deep voice, "At present, it is not certain that Qin Lang has anything to do with this fire. However, the matter is already very serious, and we can't specialize in this matter, so we must show your majesty! ”

Everyone said that this was the way it should be.

"In this way, the old man will report this matter, don't panic!" Li Guangdao, after saying that, comforted Bai Xinxin and said: "Qin Lang is a lucky general, and he will make contributions on the battlefield in the future, this time it will definitely be fine, you can rest assured." ”

Bai Xinxin nodded, and Gongsun Ce echoed: "Exactly, even if you die, you should die on the battlefield!" ”

When everyone heard this, they glared angrily at Gongsun Ce, why are you so comforting?

Li Guang rushed to the palace, everyone returned to their duties, what should they do, after everyone dispersed, Xiao Rong'er held Bai Xinxin's hand tightly, tears rolled in her eyes, "Sister Bai, general...... General, he's going to be fine, right? ”

"No, don't you still believe in our general's ability?" Bai Xinxin said softly, trying to make her tone more confident, "The general has never seen any strong winds and waves, this time it must be fine, you have to believe the general!" You know? ”

"Well, I believe the general!" Xiao Rong'er nodded vigorously.

"That's right." Bai Xinxin smiled. She said in her heart, General, Xin'er also believes in you, come back soon!

......

Chang'an, Xingping Pavilion.

Xingping, the capital of Huainan State. The owner of Xingping Pavilion, most of the characters with heads and faces in Chang'an are familiar - that's a big beauty! Of course, a beautiful woman with thorns and love!

At this time, in a room in the Xingping Pavilion, a fierce rebuke suddenly came out, "Rice bucket!" Are you looking for death?! ”

The pink and gorgeous Liu Ling slapped on the face of a man who was standing in front of him, and he still felt puzzled, so he raised his foot and kicked on the man's lower abdomen, and the man fell to the ground very cooperatively, and the cold sweat had soaked his clothes.

"Who told you to kill someone? How did the Lord explain to you when he was leaving? If you succeed, you will be able to return if you are unsuccessful, don't expose your identity! You stupid pigs, you actually used knives with him, and you ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall? Look for death! ”

At this time, Liu Ling has completely lost the demeanor of a kingdom lord, and her angry appearance is more like a cat with teeth and claws, she scolds and does not forget to punch and kick the man in front of her, the dignified lord makes such a move, it can be seen that the anger in her heart has exceeded the limit of what she can control!

"Any idea where this is? This is not Xingping, it's Chang'an! The second-rank general who assassinated the Han in Chang'an, you don't think the master of Changben Weng has lived enough! Bastard thing! ”

It took half an hour to vent, and it wasn't until Liu Ling gasped and stopped, and sat aside in resentment.

"Master Weng, it's not that your subordinates want to do it, it's really that Qin Cheng is too cunning! He pretended to fall for the woman's calculations, and suddenly made trouble when our people went to tie him up, and he died as soon as he saw Liu Scar! The people below don't want to do it, but the situation is out of control, Qin Cheng has already raised a knife to kill, he is determined to kill all our people, there is no way! The man with a blue nose and swollen face said with annoyance, looking very aggrieved.

"Rubbish! Are you still reasonable?! Liu Ling was angry again, "Lord Ben Weng has already said that he doesn't expect to succeed this time, Qin Cheng is not so easy to calculate, I didn't want to form a life and death relationship with him, just give him a dismount, the important thing is to bring people back!" You stupid pigs, now that this matter has become such a situation, not only will Qin Cheng hate the owner of Ben Weng to death, but Liu Che will not give up when he learns about this!? The good plan of the lord of Ben Weng has been ruined for you! What use do I want from you? Go down and lead you to death. ”

"Lord Weng, spare your life!" The man was shocked and trembled.

Liu Ling snorted coldly, and was about to get up, when someone outside came to pass the word.

"Say!"

"Lord Weng, Prime Minister Xue is here!"
