The ancients did not have the habit of sleeping lazy, and generally got up when the day was bright. In the early morning of this cold winter, when there was a layer of white fog outside, and the sky was bright, Zhen Ji got up from the bed. And Yuan Xi was still sleepy at this time because he was busy all night last night.

The hot water was already boiled by Yuan's subordinates, but he didn't have a maid in this room, so Zhen Ji had to fetch the water herself, freshen up for a while, and then pulled Yuan Xi out of bed and dressed him for him. The clothes of the Han Dynasty are extremely complicated to wear, on the left and on the right, with the straps tied, one by one, in short, it has been tossed for a long time. Yuan Xi squinted his eyes while admiring a pair of white plain hands dexterously walking between his waist and abdomen, enjoying his wife's service.

"Zhen Zhen, it's just dawn, let's sleep for a while......"

Suddenly, a cold face cloth came up, and he snorted and immediately came to his senses.

The door opened, and the cold air outside penetrated in, and there was a comfortable feeling after the new rain in the empty mountains, Yuan Xi stretched his waist outside.

Well, today, we have to get that beautiful woman out of the city quickly.

"Husband, what were you doing last night?" Zhen Ji asked as she bent down to pour the water away.

Yuan Xi admired the beautiful silhouette of his wife, and said: "Oh, I went to drink with Zilong, and Xu Dayan and their group were strangely deserted in the barracks, so they all invited them into the city and had a meal together." Nothing special either. ”

Zhen Ji said: "Then why did I hear a woman's voice in the middle of the night?" It seems to have come from Zilong's guest room. ”

The guest room is next to their yard, but there is also a wall, which can be heard, and the hearing is too good.

"How can there be a woman's voice? You also know that Zilong is a good young man who is clean and self-conscious, and he blushes when he touches a woman. If there were women in the house, they would be so nervous that they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. ”

"Oh, really?" Zhen Ji nodded and said, "However, my husband seems to be very experienced and familiar with the ...... for the first time."

Yuan Xi snorted and said, "That's a different personal endowment......"

Before he finished speaking, he only heard a woman's scream outside, which came from the direction of Zhao Yun's guest room.

Yuan Xi's face darkened, and he quickly stood up. also blamed himself for being careless, he didn't tell Zhao Yun to block the hostage's mouth, there was silence in the mansion in such an early morning, and the silence was suddenly broken by this voice, and it was about to attract attention.

Zhen Ji hurriedly asked, "What kind of sound is this?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "It is estimated that it is the cry of a wild cat......

Immediately, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and I saw Zhao Yun and several people who acted together yesterday running over with the woman from yesterday. The woman was covered in blood, her face was pale, and she was hugged by Zhao Yun, and her long black hair fell out.

Yuan Xi asked, "What's going on?" ”

Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "She hid a short knife on her body, fortunately, I saw it early and took it." ”

Yuan Xi stepped forward to check, only to see a bloodstain on the woman's clothes, her eyes were closed, and she was held by Zhao Yunheng, motionless, as if she had fainted. Zhen Ji also came up from behind, looked curiously, and when she saw the woman's complexion, her eyes lit up.

Yuan Xi picked up one of the woman's drooping arms and glanced at it, and asked, "Where is the injury?" I didn't see any wounds. ”

Zhao Yun gasped and said, "Blood is my ......"

Yuan Xi took a look, and sure enough, the outside of Zhao Yun's arm was oozing blood. A person next to him handed over a short black knife and said, "That's what I used this knife, which was originally sealed with a cowhide sleeve." This woman secretly took it out at dawn and wanted to kill herself, but fortunately we found it. General Zilong snatched the knife away, but the knife was so sharp that it was accidentally cut. ”

Yuan Xi took the knife and saw that it was pitch black, but the place where the blade was unexpectedly snow-white, and there were very fine lines on it. The length of this knife is thirty centimeters, at least, didn't you find it when you robbed people yesterday? Besides, how did such a long knife be hidden? Yuan Xi observed the woman in Zhao Yun's arms and said, "Then what are you still holding her for?" Hurry up and bandage it yourself. ”

The woman was put down and laid down on the bed for the time being. And Zhao Yun bandaged it with the help of several people.

Yuan Xi carried the short knife upside down, touched the blade with his fingers, and felt that it was extremely sharp, obviously a treasure knife. In this era, it costs a lot to make a good knife, and this woman casually carried one on her body, which seems to be not simple. In particular, the knife was inlaid with some cobblestones, some yellow, some green, either amber or agate, and counted, a total of seven.

Zhen Ji said: "This is the Seven Star Treasure Knife." ”

Yuan Xi took a breath of cold air and said, "Seven Star Treasure Knife? ”

Zhen Ji said: "Yes, in the past, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, collected seven treasures from the world, and created this seven-star treasure knife, I have seen it from the book, inlaid with seven treasures, called seven stars, its body is as black as ink, and its blade is as white as ice. That's what it looks like. It's just that after Wang Mang died, he didn't know where the knife went. ”

Yuan Xi said in his heart, how can the name of this seven-star treasure knife be so familiar, I heard that when Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, what he borrowed from Situ Wang Yun was called the seven-star treasure knife, it can't be the same. I don't know if it's true. If it was true, then the Seven Star Treasure Sword should have fallen on Dong Zhuo in the end. If this beauty can have this knife, then her identity is about to be revealed.

Zhen Ji was obviously not interested in knives, she looked at the woman on the bed and said, "Husband, what do you call this sister?" ”

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "This...... I have to ask Zilong. ”

"Poof!" Zhao Yungang's bandaged wound almost burst out.

Yuan Xi gave him a look and said, "Zilong, you haven't married yet, even if you are in the golden house, it is human nature, not to mention that this girl is also good-looking." If you say it's from that family, don't hide it. I'll be a matchmaker for you another day, and it's a good thing. ”

Zhao Yun looked at Yuan Xi with wide eyes, and then looked at Zhen Ji with a tense face beside Yuan Xi, and said hesitantly: "...... Thank you for the success of the second son. ”

Zhen Ji looked at the two of them, and then looked at the dress of the woman on the bed, combed it into a bun that was obviously a married young woman, and the clothes and accessories did not look like a yellow flower girl was not out of the cabinet, what these two people said was very suspicious. But at this time, as smart as Zhen Ji, she has no intention of exposing lies.

They were still discussing, and suddenly Yuan Fu ran over in a panic outside, and said, "Second son, it's not good, there is a nine-foot-tall man outside, saying that he wants to see the second son, and he blocked the door to prevent everyone from going out." None of our Yuan Mansion's guards are opponents. ”

Yuan Xi's brain was about to explode, this is okay, fortunately it is this hour, everyone has just gotten up, if you wait another hour, it will be known to the whole city. This nine-foot man may be Gao Shun, how would he know to come here to find someone? Could it be that Song Lu told him? It must be this guy Song Lu, he recognized his voice last night, Gao Shun couldn't find anyone, and he would definitely ask him.

Yuan Xi walked around on the ground, scratching his head. This person is too bold, he actually blocked the door of Yuan's Mansion in Yecheng, which is simply Tai Sui's head.

Yuan Fu said: "The big man also mentioned a person in his hand, saying that if the second son didn't go to see him, then he would exchange his life for a life." ”

"People?" Yuan Xi and Zhao Yun glanced at each other. Could it be that Gao Shun chased him out last night and caught Xu Dayan and others? This can't be ignored, it stands to reason that after Xu Dayan succeeded in the mission to lure the enemy last night, he should return to the inn, and he doesn't know what happened later. At this time, I haven't received the news yet, and it is indeed very likely that something has happened.

In any case, the top priority is to let Gao Shun leave the gate of the Yuan Mansion as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Go and invite him in, and I'll see him myself."
