Tian Chu patted the small hand that was gently placed on his wrist with his hand, and said: "Ming, and we are in the dark, sometimes it is really impossible to prevent it, if it is just for me, I will not worry, but there are so many people in the family, Jiayin's body is inconvenient, Feng Yi and Feiyan are both weak, they can't do any effort, and they don't know how to protect themselves, only you are left, let me rest assured." ”

It is rare for Meng Tianchu to say these words with sincerity and gentleness, although the gentleness is silent on the surface, in fact, he is still very moved in his heart. He only smiled shyly, leaned on Meng Tianchu's shoulder, did not speak, looked at the dim moonlight in the sky, and didn't know what he was thinking.

A gust of wind blew, and Wen Wen couldn't help but shiver, Meng Tianchu said: "Go back to sleep, I'm here." ”

"Husband, go to sleep for a while, Wen Wen has no sleepiness at this time, and he can't sleep when he returns, so it's better to stand here. It's so late, the masked man probably won't come, and if he does, it's not too late for me to call you again. ”

Meng Tianchu could sleep anywhere, but seeing that Wen Wen was preoccupied, it was not easy to disturb her, so he asked her to rest too, and he still went to the study to sit, and the two of them walked in different directions with their own hearts.

As soon as Meng Tianchu arrived at the study, before he could close the door, he heard someone yelling, he hurriedly turned around and went out, only to see that Zhu Hao had already run out, and the masked man on the opposite roof appeared again.

Gentle reaction is also very fast, already standing two or three meters away from him, he walked forward quickly, worried that Gentle will suffer, although Gentle Kung Fu is far above himself, but after all, he is a woman. A dignified man lets his woman charge, and that person is lost. The night watchman in the courtyard heard the gentle voice and hurried over with the guy.

The masked man can sound creepy and chilling on a dark and windy night.

Zuo Jiayin, Xia Fengyi, and Feiyan heard the sound and walked out, Meng Tianchu heard the sound of the door, and immediately turned his head and said sharply to the three of them: "Whoever let you come out, give me back." ”

Seeing Meng Tianchu's appearance, the masked man said mockingly, "What? Meng Ye. I'm just guessing a lantern puzzle with you. What are you so afraid of me for? ”

Zuo Jiayin and the others quickly listened to the words and retreated. Meng Tianchu heard the creak of the door closing behind him, and only then did he relax.

In the past, I didn't think there was anything wrong with not being able to do light work, but now when I see the masked man ridiculing and mocking himself like this, I know that I can't fly to the house.

Meng Tianchu said to the masked man, "Bold hairy thief." Have the ability to come down for me. ”

The masked man laughed, pointed at Meng Tianchu and said, "You are really funny, with your little bit of fur work, you still want to capture me alive." If you have the ability, let your kung fu girl carry you up! ”

Gentle Mo frowned coldly, pulled out a sword from the waist of a guard beside him, and said loudly: "Just you, a thief, where do you need my master to take action personally." See how I clean you up! "Finished. He jumped up and went straight for the masked man.

Meng Tianchu hurriedly said: "Zhu Hao, protect the second lady!" ”

The masked man was smiling with joy. I saw Wen Rou Fei go to the room, the sword in his hand pointed directly at his eyebrows, followed by a person, who was also holding a sword in his hand, attacking himself from left to right, seeing that Gentle Palm was about to slash the masked man's head to the ground, a person suddenly flew out from behind the masked man, who was about the same height as Meng Tianchu, burly, and looked like a man, and the man roared: "Go quickly." ”

Seeing this, Meng Tianchu said loudly to a leader beside him: "Outflank them before and after, you must catch them." Zhu Hao and Wen Wen looked at each other, and one walked towards the other. The man took the short one in his arms like a child, and had no intention of fighting, and when he saw that they were approaching gently, he took out something from his bosom and said in a low voice: "I have no intention of hurting you, and you should not chase after you, and you will naturally understand after seeing this thing." After speaking, he threw the thing to Gentle, and while he was unprepared, he disappeared into the night in an instant, and Zhu Hao was about to chase after him, but Gentleness stopped him.

Gentle said: "I naturally believe that your kung fu is not under that person, but they seem to be very familiar with the terrain around us, you go alone, I am only worried about falling into their ambush." ”

The two ladies all said so, Zhu Hao naturally didn't want to chase after him, so the two of them flew down the room together.

Gentle handed over the things to Meng Tianchu, Meng Tianchu was about to open the paper bag, Gentle stepped forward and gently pinched it with his hand, and said: "Let me take a look first, I'm worried that they will cheat, these people like to use hidden weapons, the thing is not big, but it is relatively hard, the master will open it and take a look." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help but feel a little moved by his gentle carefulness, nodded, and carefully unfolded it to see that it was actually a woman's silver earring, he took the earring to his hand and looked at it, he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

At this time, a guard leader led by Meng Tianchu, who was only transferred from Dongchang a few hours ago, walked a few steps forward in front of Meng Tianchu, knelt down, and the people in the courtyard also knelt on the ground like a mosaic, and the leader said: "Master Meng, there was such a situation on the first day of duty in the mansion, it was really a crime to die, and he actually let the snitch come in, please Meng Ye deal with it." ”

Seeing this, Meng Tianchu handed the earrings in his hand to Wen Rou, and then hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and then raised his hand to the kneeling man, and said: "Everyone get up, it's not everyone's fault, it's not everyone's fault, the so-called can't be prevented, the snitch is not alone, although we saw only two people just now, but who knows how many people they really came, they probably have been lurking here for a long time, waiting for the time to come out, and the snitch is very good, come and go without a trace, I didn't find it, blame you for what?" ”

After hearing this, everyone saw that Meng Tianchu not only blamed, but also comforted, but was even more ashamed, and everyone knelt on the ground and got up shamelessly.

Meng Tianchu saw that everyone was still kneeling, so he said to the leader of the guards: "If you really feel derelict in your duties, quickly stand up and return to your respective posts, the night is still long." We all have to continue to work hard. ”

"We don't work hard." Everyone said in unison.

Guardian Leader

Since Meng Ye has already said it, then we should go back to our respective posts, and the thief will take advantage of the loophole and run in, then we are really sorry for Meng Ye's trust. When everyone heard this, they stood up with a little emotion and shame.

Meng Tianchu said: "Okay, everyone is here, don't gather here, go." ”

After everyone dispersed. Gentleness walked up to Meng Tianchu and took the earrings and looked at them. said: "What do you mean by this snitch?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "I always feel wrong. At the time, I didn't know what was wrong, what this earring meant, how I looked at this earring so familiar, and I couldn't remember where I had seen it at the time. ”

At this time, Zuo Jiayin and the others heard that there was no sound outside, so they opened the door and came out.

Walking to Meng Tianchu's side, Xia Fengyi saw that Wen Rou was thinking about something with an earring on her body, so she also came over to take a look. Then he took the earrings in his hand and looked at them carefully, and then handed them to Zuo Jiayin and said, "Jiayin, look"

Zuo Jiayin turned sideways to the place where there was a lamp and picked it up and looked at it, but he didn't see anything unusual.

Meng Tianchu walked back and forth in the courtyard twice, suddenly patted his head violently, and shouted: "Confused! ”

Meng Tianchu immediately called Zhu Hao and said to him: "Hurry up and call a few people to go to Zhexue's house to see if they have left us any messages or letters or something." Hurry up! ”

Zhu Hao listened. I immediately understood what was going on, so I quickly took someone and left.

Everyone was puzzled and looked at Meng Tianchu one after another.

Zuo Jiayin reacted immediately. said: "That thief is really smart, he actually attacked Miss Murong, we were careless." ”

Gentleness looked at Zuo Jiayin with puzzled eyes, and said, "Didn't the thief say that one of the four women who died in the husband was exchanged for that person?" What does it have to do with Miss Murong? ”

Everyone didn't know how to say it to Wen Rou, Meng Tianchu was already in a very bad mood at this time, and when he saw Wen say this, he said angrily: "Do I need to let you know if I take a concubine?" That Murong Yuxue is my grandmother in the fifth room who is about to enter the door, understand? ”

As soon as the words came out, Wen Rou was stunned for a moment, and then looked at everyone's expressions, as if they were still covered in their bones, everyone should know, and even those subordinates and maids knew it, why did they hide it from themselves? Is it because you are afraid that you will be jealous and angry? It is true that you Meng Tianchu want that woman to have nothing to do with me, but I am as unaware as an outsider, and everyone in the yard looks at me like a fool, and I am still bent on making all kinds of changes to please the man in front of me.

Thinking of this, Gentle couldn't help but burst into tears, and turned to leave.

Feiyan was about to chase after her, but Meng Tianchu said loudly: "She is happy, she just wishes that I Meng Tianchu is only a woman." ”

Hearing this, Wen Rou paused for a moment, and did not look back, everyone looked at Wen Rou's back worriedly, and finally she disappeared from everyone's sight without hesitation.

Everyone saw that Meng Tianchu was on fire, and no one dared to persuade him, they all felt that Meng Tianchu's words were a little heavier, after all, everyone had seen the recent changes in gentleness, probably Meng Tianchu was only thinking of another woman whose whereabouts were unknown at this time, and naturally he didn't have too much scruples about tenderness when he spoke.

After a while, Zhu Hao came back with someone, and sure enough, he had a piece of paper in his hand, and Meng Tianchu took a look: exchange people for people, and Wang Cai will naturally go back tomorrow.

When Meng Tianchu saw it, he couldn't help but roar, and the sound felt like it had torn apart the quiet night sky in the middle of the night, for a long time... It reverberated for a long time.

…—

Yin's cottage

The sky was already dark, and the Yin family cottage, located in the deep mountains, stood like a huge monster between the mountains.

In the distance, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves, and the sound came from far and near, and someone shouted: "Whoever comes, report the name." ”

The other man did not speak, only heard a short scream, and then there was a muffled sound, and a figure fell to the ground.

Everywhere one after another, the man on horseback broke through the pass again and again, screaming all the way, the figures fell one by one, and the man shouted loudly: "Don't stop again, I don't want to hurt people, get away from me." ”

Finally came to the door of the cottage, only to see a person turn over and dismount, a dragonfly dotted the water, as if jumping over a mechanism, and then landed smoothly, and then hit the door with a heavy fist, the door opened in response, and an old voice said: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Find the owner of the village."

"It's not dawn yet, what are you looking for, let's take a walk... Ay... Hey, what do you want to do, you've arrived at the Yin family's house, and you still want to go wild... Ouch, good... You've got what it takes, you're... Don't put a knife to my neck, it's going to bleed, okay, okay, okay, I... I'm taking you there is... I don't think you're going back or forth... Hey, okay, I... I won't say anything, let's go. ”

Inside the gate is a shadow wall, blocking the view, so you can't see inside from the outside. Turning the shadow wall, there is a large courtyard covering an extremely wide area, with a brick-laying path more than a foot wide, leading directly to the oncoming hall. The magnificent building, the eaves of the painting pavilion, the carved dragon and the phoenix, the corridor columns are enclosed, and the wingspan of the giant building is huge.

Gu Pan room, come on the edge of the corridor, there are two permanent lamps placed on both sides of the corridor, you can see the layout of the hall at a glance, clear and eye-catching, quaint but not luxurious, but here is dead and silent, no human voice, no human figure, the atmosphere is incomparably mysterious.

"I've brought you here, loosen your knife a little, you're going to cut my neck." As they spoke, the two of them came to a room, and the person who led the way first knocked on the door quietly, and then said, "Grandma, someone is looking for you." ”

"What grandma, what I want to see is your village owner, not grandma." The man who came said loudly, and the man who led the way quickly motioned for him to be quieter, with a look of fear and caution.

"Who is looking for me so early?" An old woman's voice, slow but clear.
