Qiu Tongmian and Liu Yong stayed until late at night before leaving, and Soltu sent the two to the door and said goodbye.

Someone from the house came and whispered a few words in Soltu's ear, and Soltu asked, "Really? ”

"Back to my lord, there are people searching everywhere outside, Shuntian Mansion Yin also came to find my lord just now, and I heard that you were entertaining Xiao Zhuangyuan and left."

"Bastard, why didn't you come in and report to me first?" Soltu looked at Qiu Tongmian and Liu Yong who disappeared into the night, and didn't know what they were thinking. After a long time, he said to his subordinates, "Tomorrow, let the housekeeper bring something for me and send it to the Yang Mansion." The next man answered.

Qiu Tongmian and Liu Yong hurriedly returned to the Yang Mansion, and when they saw Xiao Jian standing in front of the door with a smile waiting for the two of them, they immediately let go of all their worries, patted Xiao Jian's shoulder, and the three of them entered the mansion together.

Qiu Tongmian came to the house and hurriedly asked Xiao Jian, "How is the matter?" ”

Xiao Jian said with a smile, "There is no danger, Miss Yingying has been rescued by us and placed ten miles outside the city, and I have arranged for the brothers to take care of her." ”

"Has anyone ever been hurt, what about Miss Yingying?"

Xiao Jian replied, "There are only two minor injuries. Mingzhu Mansion but no one was injured, Miss Yingying told me that only since last night was robbed back, except for a maid to serve her to eat and drink, and no one harassed him, I asked the reason, but last night the eldest son of Mingzhu was very drunk, was punished by Mingzhu to kneel for a night.

Qiu Tongmian laughed heartily after hearing this, swept away his previous bad luck, and said with a smile, "You said that no one was injured in the Mingzhu Mansion, why are two of your men injured." ”

Xiao Jian said embarrassedly, "But I was bitten by the maid next to the girl Yingying on the road, and I have already asked someone to tie it up and send it outside the city." ”

Liu Yong and the others also smiled after hearing this, "As long as the eldest prince of Mingzhu is not injured, I am afraid that he will not make a big move." I'd better rest early and hit the road tomorrow as planned. ”

After Liu Yong saw that everyone was leaving, he saw that Xiao Jian had not left, and said, "I asked you to go out of the city together to meet tomorrow, why did you turn back, what if you let the city gate guards catch you." ”

Xiao Jian looked at Qiu Tongmian, who had become much better in the center of the hospital, and smiled at Liu Yong, "I'm afraid that my lord won't have news from me tonight, and it will be difficult to sleep." So I took the risk and turned back, wanting to tell the adults the news in person. ”

Liu Yong also saw Qiu Tongmian in the courtyard, and said to Xiao Jian, "Xiao Jian has a heart." Then he turned around and went back to his room.

Xiao Jian held the sword, leaned on the pillar of the verandah, and looked at Qiu Tongmian in the courtyard without resting for a moment, as if he was exercising there.

The moon in the sky, too, seemed to be sleepy, and slowly climbed behind the clouds.

In the early morning, everyone packed up, and everyone rode on the road in the farewell of the housekeeper and Liu Yong, and went straight to the city gate, but met the housekeeper in the Soltu Mansion who was looking for him and his party, and the housekeeper panted and said, "This time I chased it, the old man almost lost his life on the road." ”

Qiu Tongmian saw that it was the housekeeper of Lord Suo's mansion, so he dismounted and smiled, "Why are you chasing me so much?" “

Xiao Jian on the side, but he was a thief, and he had already put the sword under his crotch.

The housekeeper arched his hand and said, "Master, let me send something to the adult." After speaking, he asked someone to present a gift box, Qiu Tongmian didn't know why, and opened the brocade box in front of everyone, but it was ten silver tickets of ten thousand taels and a letter. “

He arched his hand to the housekeeper and said, "Thank you butler, please go back and thank Master Suo for me, Xiao Jin is grateful, and when I come back, I will personally thank Master Suo." ”

The housekeeper didn't know what was in the brocade box, and when he heard Qiu Tongmian say this, he replied, "The old man must bring it, I wish you a smooth journey." ”

After saying that, the two groups of people went separately.

Qiu Tongmian and the others did not rest for a moment, let their horses gallop wildly, and hurried past the place where the Tibetans were last night, this place was an abandoned village, and it was uninhabited, but it was a good place for Tibetans.

Qiu Tongmian let everyone rest in place, pulled Xiao Jian to the place where the Tibetans were, the two walked together, walked in front of a dilapidated old house, and just entered the courtyard, more than a dozen people rushed out, Qiu Tongmian was startled, and saw that it was Xiao Jian's subordinates, so he didn't have a breath, "What are you doing in the daytime." After speaking, he felt that what he said was wrong, and he arched his hand to the people, "Xiao Jin is grateful for saving people last night." ”

The dozen or so all replied, "Dare to die for the adult's filial piety." ”

Qiu Tongmian felt a sigh in his heart, this felt so good, seeing that Xiao Jian seemed unwilling to go in, he took someone elsewhere. I entered the house and heard someone talking, but it was Sister Li who was talking to Yingying, Sister Li hated Tongmian at this time, and was afraid that he would kill people, so she muttered, "My lord is here, Yingying is also here, I should go back too." ”

Qiu Tongmian saw that Yingying had never left him since he saw him, and he couldn't help but walk over. Hearing Sister Li speak, she ignored her, and when she saw that he was leaving, she grabbed and said, "Don't worry, what should you do if you go to Yingying, you go to the courtyard first and wait, and the two of us will talk." ”

"Yingying." Qiu Tongmian screamed, and when he saw that Xu Yingying did not resist, he hugged her.

I thought she would beat and scold him and resist, but I didn't expect that as soon as she was soft in his arms, she cried in a low voice, and it took some comfort before she stopped.

Seeing that she was better, he took her hand and said, "I haven't suffered any grievances." ”

Xu Yingying shook her head and said, "No, I wanted to wait for the beast to come into the room the night before I killed myself with a hairpin, but I didn't expect that I waited for a night and didn't wait for the beast to enter the house." But it was the maid who looked at me who told me that the beast tied me into the house, and the movement was too big, which provoked his wife, and when his wife saw that he was drunk like drunken mud, she also tied up the woman in the spring building to return to the house, so she went to Lord Mingzhu to make a big fuss, and was punished to kneel in front of the door for one night. ”

After hearing this, Qiu Tongmian smiled and said, "This dead thing is not that blessed, when I find an opportunity in the future, I will definitely castrate him to get out of my evil breath." ”

When Xu Yingying heard this, she touched Qiu Tongmian's face and said softly, "I thought I would never see you again, but I never thought that you would rob the Ming Mansion at night for me, if anything happens, you and I will meet underground." After speaking, he buried his head in Qiu Tongmian's arms again.

Qiu Tongmian didn't squeak after hearing this, "Tighten your arms and Xu Yingying." Looking out the window at a ray of sunlight, I fell into deep thought. After a long time, Xu Yingying in her arms fell asleep. I must have been holding on for a long time, and seeing him sleeping so deeply, I hugged him and walked out of the house.

Seeing Lijiang standing honestly in the courtyard, I wondered a little, why didn't this old guy run, but he saw Xiao Jian and his dozens of subordinates in the distance, and there were a few people around him who were tied up by five flowers.

When I walked in, I realized that it was the two people in Yijia's courtyard, and there was a maid in Mingzhu Mansion, and I saw that the maid was still scolding, which was extremely ugly.

"When my young master finds you, he will kill you dog minions, and my lord will behead you dogs, so that you will not die a good death."

Qiu Tongmian glanced at Xu Yingying in his arms, raised his head and said to Xiao Jian, "Drag it to the house and cut it, and throw the body into the waste well." ”

When the maid sitting on the ground heard that she was going to kill herself, she was so frightened that she stood up and ran, but unfortunately her hands were tied, and she didn't run a few steps before she fell to the ground, so she leaned forward again, and Qiu Tongmian rushed over and stepped on her back.

Xiao Jian came over to help and said, "There's no need to kill it." ”

Qiu Tongmian looked at him and said, "Don't kill you to raise her?" ”

Sister Li and the other two beside her heard that they were going to kill the maid and thought about their fate, and they all fell to their knees, crying and begging to be spared. But there was no response from Qiu Tongmian.

Qiu Tongmian hugged Xu Yingying, who was still asleep, walked to the carriage, put it gently, beckoned Zheng Banqiao to come and take care of it, and then returned to the abandoned courtyard.

Xiao Jian didn't make a move with the sword for a long time, and when he saw Qiu Tongmian turn back, he wanted to say something, but was stopped by one of his subordinates.

Qiu Tongmian saw that Xiao Jian didn't do it, so he wanted to do it himself, he wanted to take the knife in someone's hand, picked up the maid who was struggling on the ground, and dragged it to the house.

Taking a breath, Qiu Tongmian picked up the knife in his hand and looked at the maid, the maid stared at Qiu Tongmian viciously, as if to remember his face, Qiu Tongmian raised his trembling right hand, stiffened his head, closed his eyes, and cut down, but it was crooked.

Xiao Jian heard the impact of the knife, rushed in, and seeing Qiu Tongmian's embarrassed appearance, he snatched the knife in his hand expressionlessly, "My lord, it's better to leave it to me." ”

After Qiu Tongmian heard this, he glanced at Xiao Jian gratefully, and reflexively ran out quickly.

After a while, a scream came to an abrupt end.

The crowd stepped forward to help carry the body and transport it to the opposite well.

As the sun set, the wind blew lightly on the corners of Qiu Tongmian's clothes.

Standing in the courtyard and watching everyone busy, motionless. He suddenly felt like he had changed, cold, cruel. From a civilized man in the twenty-first century, he has become a barbarian.

Qiu Tongmian felt sad in his heart, looking at the carriage in the distance, looking at the people in the distance, and feeling a little better. He needs this hard-hearted heart, he needs to change, for Xu Yingying, for Xue Lingyun, for the teacher, for the people around him, and for himself.
