"Oh? Really? Tang Mingqi raised the corners of his mouth and said lightly, "I heard that Xiyu's cousin-in-law is pregnant, why don't I ask her to accompany my cousin you, how about it?" ”

The man's body shuddered, and the chains made a small clattering sound. He gasped, as if someone had choked his throat, and his voice was hoarse: "Tang Mingqi! Something...... Come at me! Other...... Don't touch her......"

Tang Mingqi got up, walked in front of him, forced him to raise his chin, and met his scarlet eyes: "Tang Mingying, don't hold on, King Yu and Mingjie have already left Kyoto, and I am afraid that they have already arrived in the northwest at this time." And you, from beginning to end, are the abandoned concubine! The only thing waiting for you is Xiyu and the child in her belly......"

"No...... I don't believe it......" a hysterical roar, with a bloody desperation, "he promised, he promised to take her...... I don't believe ......"

"Since my cousin doesn't believe it, let's go and ask Lord Xiyu to come over!" Tang Mingqi's eyes sank slightly, and the sharp edge flashed away.

"No...... Don't ......" A belief that supported him was suddenly shattered, and Tang Ming muttered, "I...... I'm telling you...... Tell you ......"

In Xiaojiang Village, it is almost midnight, except for the occasional sound of insects, it is silent.

The night sky was covered with dark clouds, there was not a trace of wind, and the viscous air seemed to freeze, making people a little breathless.

Su Luan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, without any sleep.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the dark night, followed by a dull thunder, like a huge stone rolling overhead, which made people panic.

She rolled over and lay on her side, her eyes falling on the lattice, and she looked at the shadows of the trees that shook slightly, stunned.

At this moment, a blue light suddenly flashed, and the thunder broke through, and Su Luan was stunned.

In a trance, she saw a dark shadow, approaching the door quietly and slowly. She stiffened, her fingers subconsciously grasped the satin quilt on her body, her heart jumped suddenly, and a layer of goosebumps rose on her back.

Someone?!

Is it a thief?

She swallowed, suppressing the panic in her heart, and her lips tingled slightly with fear.

Do you want to escape?! No! No way! What if the grass startles the snake, what if this villain dog jumps over the wall to kill her?!

Her brain thought about it quickly, and finally planned to uphold the life-saving principle of silence is better than sound at this time, and brake quietly! Carefully took out the dagger from under the pillow for self-defense, clutched it tightly in his hand, and hid it under the quilt to prevent trouble.

There was a soft click, and the latch was gently opened by the cold blade.

Su Luan closed his eyes and tilted his head motionlessly to pretend to sleep. The hair hung down slightly on her forehead, just half-covering her eyes that were trembling slightly because of nervousness.

The man's steps were so light that she couldn't hear him at all.

This kind of skill is obviously not something that ordinary thieves can have, and if she falls asleep tonight, I am afraid that she will not find his intrusion at all.

In the middle of the night, there was a barely audible rustling sound in my ears, as if I was rummaging for something.

Are you looking for money? Or, is there something else going on?

Su Luan closed his eyes and pricked up his ears to catch the subtle sound.

In the middle of the night, the sound of rustling suddenly stopped. After a period of silence, a subtle breath sprayed in her ears, Su Luan shivered, the pores around her body seemed to be soaked in cold water, and the cold air came out from the bottom of her heart and penetrated deep into her bone marrow.

He was so close to her, close enough to feel each other's breath.

What is he going to do?! Kill somebody to do away with a witness?!

Her body subconsciously tightened, like a bow stretched to the limit, as long as it was touched lightly, it would break in an instant.

Just when she panicked and couldn't help herself, a very soft sigh sounded in her ears, and then the breath dissipated, as if everything just happened to her.

The aura of danger faded away, and Su Luan's hand pressed hard against his heartbeat. It wasn't until the panic gradually subsided that she secretly opened her eyes.

Vaguely, she saw the man walking towards the door, dressed in a night coat, holding a sharp dagger in his hand, the cold light was shining, his fingers were slender, and there was a scar on the knuckle of his index finger, which made her faintly feel familiar.

His finger fell on the door, and Su Luan's heart hanging in his throat slowly fell, and before he could land, he saw the man dodge and dodge, and a steel knife silently struck through the crack in the half-open door.

The glittering silver blade brushed against his hair, and the man in black quickly took a few steps back, trying to pull away.

However, the people outside the door didn't give him a chance at all, and he shot extremely quickly, slamming his palm on his shoulder, he was shocked back a few steps, and when he turned around, he was facing Su Luan's frightened eyes and the dagger in her hand. A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but after all, he still didn't make a move on her, turned over and broke out of the window.

Su Luan trembled, curled up in the corner of the bed with a pale face, looking at the familiar face at the door, her lips trembled, choked, and shouted: "Grandpa Zhao!" ”

There was a thunderous roar, and the raindrops the size of beans smashed on the roof, crackling.

Zhao Siye, who had disappeared for six years, appeared in front of her like this.

With tears in her eyes, she grinned and smiled ugly at him.

Zhao Siye looked at her, and his cold and gloomy face softened: "Luan girl, are you scared?" ”

Su Luan threw down the dagger, nodded at him, and shook his head again: "It's been six years, I thought you would never come back......"

"Silly girl, it happened suddenly, and the old man left in a hurry, which hurt you to remember." Saying that, he reached out and touched the tears on his face for her, "I'm married, why do you still cry so much." ”

Su Luan sniffed and asked, "It's good that you came in time, but why did you come back at this hour?" ”

Zhao Siye's face was slightly gloomy, he didn't want to come back. He originally went to the Qin family's ancestral temple to pick up the jade pendant, but Meng Hanru said that the jade pendant had been handed over to the little girl for safekeeping. At that time, he was still full of doubts, thinking that according to the way those two people acted, how could they be so imprudent and easily entrust that thing to it. In retrospect, the move was quite prescient.

This open arrow is easy to dodge, but the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, and he will encounter assassination and calculation almost every day for a while.

Seeing that he was silent, Su Luan said tentatively: "Grandpa Zhao Si got the news and came back to save me?" ”

"Sort of!" He glanced at her, saw her expression, and reassured, "You don't have to worry too much, since he didn't succeed today, he probably won't come back a second time in the near future." ”

Su Luan breathed a sigh of relief, got up and put on a coat: "Fourth grandfather, let's rest overnight in my room today, the rain is heavy, and there has been no one in the courtyard on the mountain for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep." ”

Zhao Siye nodded and acquiesced in her arrangement.

As the night drew to a close, the rain gradually weakened and began to fall. By the time Su Luan got up, the wind and rain had stopped outside, but the sky was still cloudy and not clear.

Zhao Siye didn't know when he got up, and at this time he didn't even see a figure, and nine times out of ten he was afraid of being seen and gossiping, so he went back to his halfway up the hillside yard while it was still early.

Su Luan stood under the eaves, looking at the scattered window lattices that were smashed by the man in black, and felt depressed in his heart.

It is true that people sit at home, and woe comes from heaven. Alas...... Break the wealth and avoid disaster! Break the wealth and avoid disaster!

In the afternoon of the same day, she was staring at the carpenter tinkling in the yard repairing the windows, when she saw Xue Zhiyi with a black face and rushed into the yard violently: "Are you injured?" ”

Su Luan was stunned, shook his head, and asked stupidly, "Why are you here?" ”

"I ......" Xue Zhiyi choked and gave her a blank look, "I heard that you were robbed, let's see if you are heroic and righteous!" ”

It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles.

But it's worth it to see Xue Zhiyi look so eager.

Su Luan covered his mouth and said in a long voice: "Oh~ It turns out that Shopkeeper Xue is worried about me!" ”

"Who's worried about you!" Xue Zhiyi was teased by the tips of her ears and denied it.

"Then this rainy road is muddy, Shopkeeper Xue hurriedly came to me, what are you here to do?" Su Luan bent his eyes at him.

"......" Xue Zhiyi was a little embarrassed, don't look over, the fan in his hand shook, and he fanned angrily, "I'm worried about you, I'm worried about you!" You're a cash cow after all! Without you, who will make me money! ”

"Yo! So anxious to make excuses! You're shy! Su Luanwei glanced at him with a smile.

Xue Zhiyi suddenly froze, put the handle of the fan against her forehead, and said seriously: "Don't fake a smile, it's ugly to death!" It's so easy to say, I was scared to death last night, right? ”

The thought he tried to cover up was poked by him, Su Luan smiled, and his eyes were slightly red: "Well, I'm almost going to drink Meng Po soup again......"

Xue Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, and glanced at her: "It's as if you've drunk it!" ”

Haven't you just drunk it......

Su Luan laughed dryly twice and didn't answer again.

After being silent for a long time, Xue Zhiyi looked at the person next to him who was a head shorter than him, and said casually: "I'll stay here for a few days, and when your husband comes back, I'll go back to the town." ”

"No way!" Su Luan shook his head decisively and refused, "You and I, who don't have a relationship with each other, are lonely men and widows, do you think my reputation is too good?" ”

Xue Zhiyi frowned, and insisted on it: "No matter what!" I'm definitely going to stay! ”

"What can you do as a weak scholar who is powerless? The thief is coming to help me call for help? Su Luan mocked mercilessly.

"Who told me that I was a weak scholar! It's ...... in the next day," he said halfway through his words, and he suddenly shut up.

"What's it?" Su Luan asked.

"It's a seven-foot man, it's better than a weak woman of yours." He staggered his eyes, avoiding her scrutinizing gaze.

"Then you can't live with me!" She looked at him twice, and didn't dwell on Fang Cai's question anymore.

Xue Zhiyi had a calm face and confronted her without saying a word.

At this moment, the door was lightly slammed, Du Zhen probed the probe, and smiled at the two of them: "Excuse me!" When I heard that my wife's house had been burglarized, I was worried, so I ......"

Su Luan greeted him with a smile: "I'm fine, I'm just frightened." ”
