"I don't know how to drink, but I want to be able to do it!" After watching Chu Ci fall, Dingnanhou snorted quietly, and then looked at Zhe Xia, who was guarding Chu Ci's side, and said, "Benhou will send you and your girl back!" ”

Zhexia wanted to refuse, but before she could speak, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps outside.

She was distracted, and subconsciously pushed open the window next to Chu Ci's seat to look out, only to see hundreds of people standing outside in the dark, each holding a black bow and arrow in their hands.

But they were surrounded.

Dingnanhou also saw this scene through the window, he immediately grimaced, looked at Zhe Xia and ordered, "Leave it to Benhou here, you take your girl to hide behind the counter!" ”

“…… Then there is Lao Ding Nanhou! Zhe Xia said gratefully to Ding Nanhou, and at the same time, he helped Chu Ci and hid behind the counter where the shopkeeper was, which was also a small barrier.

As soon as she pushed Chu Ci behind the counter, there was a whistling sound of breaking wind in her ears, and at the same time, a dense rain of black arrows passed through the window, and the wooden door shot into the tavern.

Before she could react, she had already grabbed three feather arrows with her backhand, pulled out the soft blade on her waist and blocked the rain of arrows with Dingnanhou and the shopkeeper in the tavern.

One black arrow after another fell to the ground, and as time went on, the windows and wooden doors broke more and more, and the group seemed to stay in a ruined temple with ventilation everywhere, and in the end almost everyone became a living target.

Dingnanhou, Zhexia, and Qinglongwei, who joined in later, were better and had never been injured, but the shopkeeper and the little servant in the tavern were not so lucky, they were more or less injured, and the reason why they were still desperately wielding their swords to resist was just fighting for their last breath!

They can die, but before they die, they must ensure that their master, King Dingnan, leaves safely!

That's right. This fragrant tavern is not a simple tavern, he is also a stronghold for Dingnan Hou Xiao Zhenyun to deliver news in the capital, and the people in the tavern are his henchmen.

Seeing that the battle line was getting longer and longer, the people inside were tired.

The black-clothed leader outside is also very anxious, he has already made a military order with his master, if this mission is not completed, it is not as simple as being demoted and punished, it is to hand over the head of the item!

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer subordinates who released arrows, he gritted his teeth fiercely and had to issue one last order: "The black-clothed arrow team retreats, and the rocket team goes up!" ”

Hearing his order, the black-clothed men in front immediately retreated to both sides. In the middle, another group of black-clad men with rockets poured out.

The arrows and methods of those black-clothed men were also much more powerful than the previous ones, and they didn't need the leader to explain at all, and the rockets in their hands shot towards the people who were swinging their swords to block them!

After shooting the arrows in their hands, they did not linger, but immediately retreated to both sides, and disappeared into the darkness, and then they were picked up by a second group behind them, and one after another, and the tavern soon became a sea of fire.

In the thick smoke, Zhe Xia frowned, and looked at Dingnan Hou Dao without squinting. "Dingnanhou, it can't go on like this, not to mention whether the wine piled up in the store will explode, but this smoke will smoke people to death, we must fight a way out and leave the tavern!"

Ding Nanhou heard Zhi Xia say this, his eyes suddenly sank, and then under the cover of the thick smoke, he rushed to Zhi Xia in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Wait a minute!" ”

Zhe Xia was puzzled, "Wait a minute, I'm afraid that the cellar will explode if it burns to the bottom!" ”

"It's not going to explode!" Dingnanhou explained in a deep voice, "There is a waterway between the wine cellar and the outside world, and when it was built, the craftsman thought of the accident of walking the water, and he took precautions as early as possible!" ”

"That's good!"

As he spoke, there were more places on fire in the tavern, and the smoke was even more intense, and when you looked from the inside, you couldn't really see the black-clothed arrows outside.

It was also at this time that Dingnan Hou whispered to Zhe Xia, "Zhe Xia girl, there is a brick under the counter that can be lifted, and under the brick is a secret passage, leading to Yizhuang outside the city, you can see it when you push the counter open, you can take Miss Chu to go first from the secret passage, and I and everyone in the tavern will stay here behind the palace!" ”

When Zhe Xia heard Ding Nanhou say this, there was a few hesitations on his face.

She's not stupid either. After fighting the enemy together for so long, I can't see that this tavern is the place of Dingnanhou at all, and the people in the tavern are also his people.

But now, they can't help but let him be in danger, where are they embarrassed to let him stay behind the palace.

It was only a moment, she had already made a decision in her heart, and looked at him coldly and said undoubtedly, "These thieves were originally brought by us, and the Hou Ye is already very guilty so far, where do you dare to take another step first to leave you behind, or you go first!" ”

"Ben Hou go first, then what should you girl do!" Dingnanhou asked coldly.

Zhi Xia gritted his teeth and said, "Then please ask Hou Ye to take our girl to go first, if I am lucky enough to escape, I will only go to the Hou Mansion to pick up my girl, if I can't escape, please ask Hou Ye to tell her today's events after my girl wakes up, and let her decide whether to go back to Chu Mansion by herself!" ”

"Good!" When Ding Nanhou heard her say this, he responded without thinking about it.

After that, he explained that the people in the tavern were with Zhexia and a few people, so he went to the back of the counter alone, opened the counter with one hand, picked up Chu Ci with the other, and jumped down the tunnel with her.

As soon as he left, the shopkeeper of the tavern moved the counter back again, making sure that he couldn't see a trace of movement, and then said to the Zhuxia Zhudao, "Brothers, resist for a while, and when this tavern is about to burn down, we will kill it again......"

Everyone else knew that this was to delay time for their master, and they had no objection.

Here, the group held their breath in the fire and continued to block the rockets fired from outside.

On the other side of the tunnel, every time Dingnanhou walked, he triggered the self-destruction mechanism of the tunnel, until more than half an hour later, he crawled out of the coffin in Yizhuang with Chu Ci on his back.

At this time, Chu Ci still didn't wake up, his face was flushed, like a sleeping beauty.

Ding Nanhou looked at it, as if reaching out to touch her delicate cheeks, but when he saw her closed eyes, he couldn't do anything.

It's as if touching her when she's unconscious is tarnishing her.

Thinking like this, he smiled lowly, then withdrew his hand with difficulty, and carried her to a mountain villa outside the city.

Moss Villa is a village given to him by the Holy God when he won the battle.

After so many years, all of them have been replaced by his people.

Therefore, when he came to the door late at night with a girl, no one dared to talk more, and prepared things such as sobering medicine and ginger soup bath tub according to his instructions, and respectfully retreated.

The freshly cooked decanting medicine was a little hot, and he deliberately left it to dry for a while, seeing that the potion was no longer steaming, before walking to the bedside.

On the bed, the woman's cheeks turned redder.

Although his eyes were closed, there was a tear hanging in the corner of his eyes, and his brows were furrowed tightly, as if he had encountered something sad in a dream.

Ding Nanhou looked at her like this, and his heart suddenly pinched, as if he was hooked by a hook with many claws, painful and scratching.

After a long time, he sighed, helped her up, and brought the medicine bowl close to her lips.

She may be very thirsty. Or in the dream, she didn't forget to fight the wine, as soon as the medicine was delivered to her mouth, she consciously drank it cleanly.

Ding Nanhou put her down, looked at the medicine bowl that was drunk, and his heart softened again.

It's the first time he's seen a girl who drinks medicine and drinks so unfastidiously.

Like those girls in their village, no matter how poor the family is, no matter how hard they can endure hardship, they will frown when they take medicine, and his cousin Niu Peony is too, every time he drinks medicine, he has to be coaxed like a baby, and he has to feed him with a mouthful of medicine and a candied fruit, which is too hypocritical.

However, the girl in his heart is not, she has the charming face of a woman and the neatness of a man.

She is well-behaved and cute, free and gentle.

Such a woman is what he likes, and she is also what he is willing to put in his heart for the rest of his life.

Thinking like this, he looked at her, and couldn't help but pull his lips again, pulling out a warm arc.

Chu Ci didn't wake up until midnight.

She can't drink alcohol in the first place, she is the kind of physique that gets drunk when she smells the wine...... So when I woke up, I had a headache that felt like it was about to crack.

Just when she couldn't think of anything and was feeling uncomfortable, a clove of tangerines was suddenly handed to her lips.

She didn't think much about it, and subconsciously took a bite.

The winter tangerines were cool and sweet, and when she ate them in her mouth, it was like the land that had been dry for a long time and finally waited for a petal of Ganlin, and she was stimulated by this smell, and her headache was relieved a lot at once.

She slowly lowered her hand and looked at the person who fed her oranges, only to see a face she had never dreamed of.

"Dingnanhou!" She screamed in shock with wide eyes.

Ding Nanhou looked at her and smiled slightly, "Are you awake?" ”

Chu Ci didn't know what happened to the two of them last night, her face turned pale all of a sudden, she looked at him and asked cautiously, "Master Hou...... How could I be here, last night...... What's going on? ”

"Don't you remember?" Ding Nanhou looked surprised.

Chu Ci nodded awkwardly, "I really can't remember, it's just that this feeling of headache is a little familiar, I should have drunk alcohol!" ”

"Hmm." Ding Nanhou nodded when he heard this, confirming her guess, "You did drink last night." ”

"How much did I drink?"

"A bowl!"

"A bowl?" When Chu Ci heard these two words, he only felt that his head hurt even more.

She closed her mouth slightly and quietly, and thought about the events of last night with her strength, and didn't think of some clips until a long time later, and when she looked at Dingnanhou again, her face became more and more bad, and she opened her mouth and apologized softly. "Last night, it was my fault...... I was so hurt that I ......"

"So what?"

"Can Master Hou notify my family servant to pick it up, and forget about it?"

She said so cautiously, but Ding Nanhou didn't agree immediately, but glanced at her pale face, and said lightly, "Miss Chu should rest first!" ”

"I'm resting now!" Chu Ci was in a hurry to leave.

She really couldn't accept a hangover and waking up at her man's house.

She didn't dare to think that if she knew about this matter to King Lu Xiaojun, he would say something ugly. There are already too many conflicts between their husband and wife, and they really can't make matters worse.

"Ben Hou will help you get a mirror!" Dingnan Hou saw the change in Chu Ci's expression in his eyes. Suddenly opened his mouth and said.

Chu Ci's expression was stunned, "What are you doing with the mirror?" What's the matter with mirrors? ”

Ding Nanhou: "It's nothing, Ben Hou just thinks that Miss Chu seems to have a little misunderstanding about her improvement!" ”

As soon as he said this, Chu Ci suddenly understood what he meant.

A touch of embarrassment appeared on his face again, and he tried to compromise, "Then I'll leave tomorrow morning." ”

"Hmm." Ding Nanhou nodded.

Chu Ci looked at his frozen face and was silent for a while, and then asked as if he remembered something, "By the way, when I entered the tavern with me last night, where is the servant girl next to me?" ”

"She......" Dingnanhou mentioned Zhexia, and a few traces of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Chu Ci looked at his expression. All of a sudden, he became anxious, "What's wrong with her?" She asked again, her voice trembling.

It was only when she asked this sentence that she realized that her throat was a little hoarse, as if it had been smoked by something like smoke.

"Master Hou, what's wrong with Zhexia?" She realized something was wrong, raised her voice and asked again.

She had already pressed to ask about this, and Ding Nanhou also knew that it was not good for him to hide it any longer, so he could only sigh, and then told him what happened last night.

After Chu Ci listened, he felt that his eyes were dark and his body was weak. I almost knocked into the bedpost in the back.

At the critical moment, it was still Dingnanhou who took half a step forward, held her head, and shouted outside, "Lao Bai, Lao Bai!" ”

His voice was mellow and penetrating, and not long after he shouted, a woman in white walked in outside, and after coming to him, she bowed and saluted, "The slave is here." I don't know what Master Hou commands! ”

"Miss Chu's health is suddenly not good, you can help her take a look!" Dingnanhou looked at Chu Ci for a moment, and said to the woman in white.

The woman in white, who was called Lao Bai, heard his command, answered yes, walked to Chu Ci, sat down beside her, and reached out to hold her pulse.

In the process of taking her pulse, Chu Ci also eased up.

She looked at Lao Bai to take her pulse steadily, and the woman was stunned for a quarter of an hour to highlight the importance of her, before she removed her hand, got up and saluted to Dingnan Hou. "Back to Hou Ye's words, Miss Chu's body is very good, the reason why she was in a trance just now was just because she had inhaled some smoke before, and she was a little excited just now, and the slave maid prescribed her a pair of medicines, took it for a few days, and then calmed down!"

"Well, you go down and prescribe medicine!" Dingnan Hou waved his hand at Lao Bai and let her out.

After Lao Bai left, he wanted to see Chu Ci again and said. "When Ben Hou left yesterday, it wasn't that he didn't leave them a way out, those shopkeepers are all acquaintances near the tavern, as long as we make sure that the two of us get out, they will definitely get out before the tavern is burned down, what you have to do now is to take good care of your body, otherwise what if you fall ill when your maidservant comes back?"

Chu Ci blinked when he heard him say this, but he didn't dare to believe it completely. Instead, he looked at him and asked rhetorically, "Is what Hou Ye said true?" Will they really leave safely? ”

Ding Nanhou nodded, looked at her and said seriously, "If you are not completely sure, do you think Ben Hou will let his subordinates stay there?" ”

Chu Ci thought about it, and finally believed him.

After exposing this topic, because he was worried about Chu Ci's body, Ding Nanhou didn't say anything else, but asked her to rest well, and he asked people to inquire about the news first.

Chu Ci herself is a doctor, and after Lao Bai took the pulse for her, she also took the pulse for herself. After making sure that he couldn't walk properly even if he wanted to leave now, he didn't think much about it anymore, and just lay down and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Later, Xu was in poor spirits.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already daylight, she opened her eyes, moved her body, and was about to sit up and lift the curtain, but at this time a pair of delicate hands took the first step to hook the curtain.

At the moment when her eyes suddenly brightened, she also saw the person in front of her clearly - it was the maidservant Lao Bai who took her pulse last night.

"Miss Chu, are you awake?" After looking at her, Lao Bai smiled gently, asked her, and at the same time stepped forward to help her up, and put a big pillow behind her.

After Chu Ci sat down, he nodded at her and opened his mouth, but he couldn't call the name Lao Bai, so he simply turned the tip of his tongue and asked her, "What's your real name?" ”

Lao Bai didn't expect her to ask this, and was slightly stunned for a moment before bowing down and replying, "If you go back to Miss Chu, the slave's destiny is Baizhu." ”

Atractylodes. This is a traditional Chinese medicine.

Chu Ci thought of her medical skills again, and couldn't help but ask again, "Is your family a medical family?" ”

Bai Shu smiled, "It's just a medicine merchant, and it can be regarded as a family of medical scholars!" ”

Chu Ci nodded, "Then I'll call you Baishu in the future!" ”

"Girl doesn't have to!" Baizhu could also see Chu Ci's kindness, but he didn't agree with her wishes, but said, "Lao Bai is the name given by Hou Ye, and Hou Ye has a life-saving grace for slaves and maids!" Lao Bai's name slave maid likes it very much. ”

"Really?" Chu Ci asked a little embarrassed.

Baizhu nodded, and then told Dingnanhou about her kindness again.

Only then did Chu Ci know that it turned out that Hou Xiao Zhenyun of Dingnan had also rescued the population of an important town in the border pass. and spared the slaughter of the people.

And the Baizhu in front of her, although she was not saved by Dingnanhou, but in her heart, Dingnanhou was her benefactor for life.

This is also the reason why she surrendered her identity and preferred to abandon Miss Merchant's free identity and his maidservant.

After listening to Baizhu's repayment process, Chu Ci almost concluded that this servant girl was willing to sell herself into the mansion, not only to repay her kindness, but also to admire the hero in her heart.

"By the way, Miss Chu, breakfast outside is ready, do you want to eat it now?" Say your own business. Baizhu straightened up and asked Chu Ci again.

Chu Ci had been busy all day yesterday, and he hadn't eaten anything, and now he was really hungry.

Hearing Bai Shu ask like this, she nodded without thinking about it, "Since it's done, let's set the meal!" ”

Baizhu answered, turned and retreated.

After a while, she came back with two food boxes, and after propping up the kang table, she served Chu Ci to wipe her face before opening the food box. I put out a dazzling array of breakfast inside.

"What does the girl like to eat, the slave and maid serve you!" After setting up the breakfast, Bai Zhu did not leave, but served by Chu Ci's side, preparing to give her vegetables.

Chu Ci shook his head, looked at her and smiled softly, "You're tired from serving me all morning, go and sit next to me for a while, I'll call you after I'm done!" ”

Hearing her say this, Baizhu hesitated a little, frowned, and said, "But Master Hou has instructed the slave maid to serve you well." ”

"If you serve me well, then naturally you will do whatever I ask you to do, right?" Chu Ci raised his eyebrows and asked her rhetorically.

Baizhu nodded.

Chu Ci repeated again, "You go and go about your own business, I'll call you when I'm done eating!" ”

"Then the slave and maid will go out first, and Miss Chu will call the slave and maid if there is anything."

"I see, you get out!"

Only then did Baizhu walk outside.

After she left, Chu Ci picked up the chopsticks and had breakfast.

But because she still remembered those things yesterday, she was not in a good mood, and everything she ate was like chewing wax.

Two quarters of an hour later, when she had almost eaten, called Baizhu in to serve.

When Bai Shu heard her voice, he quickly walked in, put all the cups, dishes and dishes in front of him into the food box, removed the kang table, and served Chu Ci to wipe his hands, and then walked out with the food box.

When she returned, the breakfast in the house had almost tasted gone.

She secretly checked the pulse for herself again, and felt that she was almost recovered, so she ordered Baizhu to come forward and wait for her to change clothes.

After getting dressed, she asked her as if she remembered something, "Where is Master Hou?" Is he available in the house now? ”

Hearing Chu Ci's question, Bai Shu first explained that this was not the capital mansion, and then answered her question, "Master Hou went into the city last night and hasn't come back yet." ”

"Oh, then I'll wait!" Chu Ci said, sat down at the round table on the side, and instructed Baizhu, who had never left her side, "You don't have to wait for me here, go to the front yard and watch, as soon as the Hou Ye comes back, come and inform me immediately." ”

"Yes. Girl! Bai Zhu agreed, then blessed, turned around and walked outside.

After she left, Chu Ci sat at the round table and waited.

I have been waiting for more than an hour, and it is almost the end of the hour, Baizhu hurriedly walked in from the outside, and after arriving in front of her, with a hint of excitement between his eyebrows and eyes, he said, "Miss Chu, our Hou Ye is back, as soon as he entered the gate of the villa, he saw the slave maid, and after asking why the slave and maid were there, he asked the slave and maid to run and take you to the study in the front yard, where he was waiting for you." ”

"I see!" Chu Ci pretended not to see the excitement on Bai Zhu's face, got up, and walked with her to the front yard of Moss Villa.
