After listening to Liu Ming's story, Yuan Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "You were also at the scene just now?" ”

"It's true." Liu Ming nodded and said, "It's just that I'm in the dark and haven't been discovered." I wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but who would have thought that the situation would be one-sided, suffering from no chance, and finding out that you were also among them, and being taken captive, so I followed you first. ”

"So, you came back for a very clear purpose?" Yuan Chen lowered his head and muttered.

Liu Ming didn't answer, and was silent for a while before he said, "It's going to be dawn in a while, let's find a place to settle down first." ”

"Where to stay?" Yuan Chen looked at him and said, "Changzhou is already Wu Sangui's station, how can there be a place for you to stay?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that," Liu Ming said, "don't you remember?" Now Wu Sangui's mansion is the original residence of Zhao Qiuping. When I visited him before, sometimes I stayed in the house, sometimes for the sake of quiet, but I also lived in a residence that he had prepared for me outside the house. That night, I was hit by Wu Sangui and fled the house, and it was in that residence that I rested, and although it has been some time now, if there are no other changes, no one should know. ”

"Oh?" After Yuan Chen heard this, he suddenly remembered the events of that night, and hurriedly asked, "After you left that night, there were no chasing soldiers chasing you?" ”

"Chasers?" Liu Ming was stunned for a moment, and said without the slightest hesitation, "No, what's wrong?" ”

"Not one?" Yuan Chen asked again.

"Nope." Liu Ming said more certainly, "After I escaped that night, I went to that residence with ease. Of course, I'm also worried that someone will follow me, so I'm very careful. But," he said, the corners of his mouth crooked, as if he was smug, "There doesn't seem to be a master in Wu Sangui's Mansion who can match my light skills, although I was injured that night. ”

As she spoke, Yuan Chen stared at the other party's expression, and her rich experience in the police force made her know that Liu Ming was not lying. Wu Ruojie also swore that Duan Xuehong's arm was definitely not injured by Liu Ming. What is the truth? "That's weird." When she listened, she muttered and fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ming asked.

"That night, Wu Sangui sent Duan Xuehong out to follow you, but when he came back, he claimed to have met you and fought with you, and you took off an arm." Yuan Chen said.

"What? I removed an arm? Liu Ming was taken aback and said, "No wonder I saw her with one of her sleeves empty in the formation just now, it turned out to be due to 'me'?" ”

"But if you're telling the truth, and you've never seen her at all, let alone fought her, then how did she get hurt?" Yuan Chen was very puzzled in his heart.

"It's hard to say," Liu Ming also shook his head, "Although I haven't had much contact with her, I found that this woman's surname is too distinct, and it's hard to say what unbelievable things she will do." And listen to the hexagram that Lu Sheng divined for her - 'The willows are green, the ice and snow are red; The road is narrow, and you can't obey it. It's against me for the rest of my life. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Chen sighed in a low voice, "How can this be? Alas. ”

Liu Ming looked at her, forced a smile and said, "Don't think about it too much, let's go to the residence." Otherwise, it will be dawn in a while, and there will be more officers and soldiers on the streets, and it will be difficult for us to get out. ”

After this period of stable life, Yuan Chen didn't want to get involved with Liu Ming anymore and be misunderstood by others. What's more, she didn't want Yuan Moqing, who was far away in the sky, to be despised by her behavior. But after thinking about it, in order to know how worried Wu Ruojie is about himself, what better way is there if he is not so tempting? Thinking of this, she could only grit her teeth and nod her head. I thought, I just don't have any more intimate acts with you Liu Ming. If you persecute me, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself!

Seeing Yuan Chen nodding, Liu Ming was very happy, and hurriedly took Yuan Chen to run on the dark road before dawn. He bypassed the officers and soldiers on patrol, turned around a few more alleys, rose up in front of a wall, climbed over the wall, and fell into the courtyard. All of this was done with Yuan Chen. It can be seen that his light skills have reached the point of perfection, and his arm strength is also very great.

Falling into the courtyard, Liu Ming let go of Yuan Chen, and Yuan Chen looked at the courtyard. The yard is not big, there are not many objects, only there is a towering ancient tree on the west side, and there is a tiled house on the east side, there is nothing special, and the most special thing in the courtyard is a well in front of the house. This well, the well platform is tall, the wall of the well is smooth, and even the pattern is chiseled out on the side of the well platform, but the sky is not clear, and it is faintly unclear.

Liu Ming raised his hand, made a "please" gesture, and then took the initiative to lead the way and came to the door of the room.

Yuan Chen hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward.

Liu Ming pushed the door open and walked in first. At this point, Yuan Chen had no choice but to follow in.

As soon as you enter the door, you will find the kitchen, and when you enter the door, you will be inside. This is a typical pattern of a common people's home. After Liu Ming entered the house, he lit a candle. Yuan Chen looked around, this was a very simple room, a clay kang, and coarse cloth bedding was stacked on the tip of the kang. A wooden table with dust on it. Other than that, there are almost no items.

"Yuanyuan, you ......" Liu Ming paused for a moment, and then said, "I know that you are worried, but don't worry, after what happened last time, I understand that everything cannot be forced." If you are sincere to me, I will do more with less. So, for what happened last time, Liu Ming sincerely says to you, I'm sorry! With that, he clenched his fists, turned and walked out the door.

Yuan Chen hesitated for a while, and then walked out of the door, only to see Liu Ming sitting on the stove, bowing his head and rubbing his hands, silent.

"You ......" Yuan Chen hesitated for a long time before asking, "It's been so long, have you ever thought about Yuan Moqing?" ”

When Liu Ming heard the name Yuan Moqing, his body couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes suddenly froze.

Yuan Chen looked at him, and his heart suddenly ached, and he also regretted it. Why, why did you ask such a stupid question?

"I ......" Liu Ming was silent for a while before he said, "I feel especially sorry for Mo Qing." ”

After hearing this, Yuan Chen suddenly trembled. Although this was the answer she desperately wanted to hear, when this answer was actually presented to her, her heart was very uncomfortable.

Liu Ming continued: "During this time, I have also been asking myself what kind of person I am. Later, I finally got an answer, I am Chen Shimei. ”

"Why do you think so about yourself?" Yuan Chen was a little anxious, and hurriedly squatted in front of Liu Ming's feet and asked.

"Isn't it?" Liu Ming glanced at her and said with a wry smile, "Originally, I was just a small person in the market, I lost my wife and parents, and I was bent on killing thieves to take revenge, but after taking revenge, I was casual but in this life." But after getting to know Mo Qing, not only did she not dislike me for being a person who had a wife, but she also thought about me everywhere, making me full of hope in life again. But not only did I not know how to repay my kindness, I didn't know how to be satisfied, and I failed her. also made her fail to live a good life in the end, and died in Huangquan. From this point of view, I am not as good as Chen Shimei, Chen Shimei at least exchanged her death for everyone's mental balance. But what about me? What a bastard! As he spoke, he held his head, shook it, and even sobbed, as if he was very sad.

Yuan Chen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know that Mo Qing has ...... Gone? ”

"Oh?" After Liu Ming heard this, he suddenly stopped sobbing and paused for a long time before he said, "I heard about ......"

Yuan Chen's intuitive limbs were weak, and he sat on the firewood by the stove. Liu Ming turned his head to look at her, but persuaded him: "People can't be resurrected after death, since the matter has come to this, we shouldn't be sad anymore." I think if I can kill that dog official, I can avenge Mo Qing. ”

"Why kill him?" Yuan Chen hurriedly stopped.

"Didn't he give the order to kill Mo Qing?" Liu Ming said.

"But...... But the evolution of your relationship has nothing to do with him. Yuan Chen said.

"Humph! Don't excuse him anymore! Liu Ming said angrily, "Could it be that you still have a heart for him?" Well, let me get rid of your thoughts. ”

"You, you ......" Yuan Chen's lips trembled, but he couldn't speak.

"I'll convince you." Liu Ming said, "We will stay here for a few days, and as soon as the limelight of the search by the officers and soldiers has passed, I will take you to his mansion and secretly observe what he is looking forward to when you are away." If you are still attached to him at that time, I will be happy to be a favor and send you back to him. But if you're out of bounds then, I'm going to do it too. After speaking, he moved his buttocks, moved to the firewood, lay down, and after a while, the snoring had started, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

Seeing this, Yuan Chen reluctantly returned to the house, pulled a futon, and after a while, he also fell asleep. She was so tired for two days and two nights.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, the sunlight on the window lattice was already dim. Unknowingly, he slept all day, Yuan Chen stretched his waist, got off the kang, and paced out, but he didn't see Liu Ming. She secretly panicked, hurriedly got up and walked out of the door, looking around, except for the sound of the wind, she was the only one in the courtyard. She even had some doubts about whether she really saw Liu Ming last night. Was that a dream? But just as she was thinking wildly, a figure floated down from the corner.

"Who?" Yuan Chen was startled, and when he looked back, it was Liu Ming.

"Are you awake?" Liu Ming walked up to her and asked.

"Hmm," Yuan Chen nodded and asked, "You...... Where did it go? ”

"Oh," Liu Ming shook the package in his hand, "I'll go find some food to eat, and by the way, take a look at the wind outside." ”

"How's the wind?" Yuan Chen asked, his words quite nervous.

"You ......," Liu Ming said bluntly, "I want to know if Wu Sangui is concerned about your disappearance, right?" ”

Yuan Chen saw that his careful thinking was seen through, blushed, lowered his head, and stopped speaking.

"It's business as usual outside." Liu Ming said suddenly.

"What? How so? Yuan Chen didn't believe his ears, let alone Liu Ming's news, and raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of doubt.

"Don't you believe it?" Liu Ming said, "You've been here alone all day, and you hear any noise on the street?" Did anyone knock on the door to inquire? Or if you still don't believe me, you can go out into the street and see for yourself, and I won't stop you. ”

The gaze in Yuan Chen's eyes changed from doubt to sadness. Don't...... Wu Ruojie really doesn't want her anymore? But how is that possible? He is Wu Sangui, and she is Chen Yuanyuan. Aren't they the destined pair? Is history only history, and not the reality in which they live?

Seeing that Yuan Chen was silent, Liu Ming also slowed down his tone and said, "Don't think about it." Hungry, right? Let's eat first. With that, he was the first to enter the house.

Yuan Chen stood in the courtyard and listened hard. Indeed, as Liu Ming said, there was no movement on the street outside the wall. She really wanted to rush out of the far door and rush to the street to see why Wu Ruojie didn't send troops to find her all over the city. She even wanted to rush back to Wu Ruojie's handsome mansion and point her nose to question him. But now, what's the use of doing everything? Everything was said by Liu Ming.

She returned to the house with heavy steps, and Liu Ming had already opened the package, which contained a few cakes and a few pieces of beef, as well as a large bag of water and wine. Seeing her walk in, Liu Ming really wanted to ask for help, but Yuan Chen grabbed the skin bag and drank the wine in a big gulp.

There were five catties of wine, and less than half of it was drunk in an instant, but Liu Ming didn't persuade him, just watched coldly. Although the ancient water wine was not high, Yuan Chen was melancholy in his heart, and he drank quickly and violently, and after a while, he was drunk and unconscious.

Liu Ming sighed, placed Yuan Chen on the kang, and covered the quilt. He walked out of the house with the rest of the wine and sat down on the firewood next to the stove.

Inside the house, the parcel of bread and beef, neither of them touched. In the cold night, the food gradually lost its fragrance, and I was sad.

Yuan Chen borrowed wine every time to kill his sorrows, and said that he was in a mess for four days. This night, Yuan Chen was about to continue drinking, but when he opened the package that Liu Ming brought back, he found that there was no skin.

"Where's the wine?" Yuan Chen asked angrily.

"No alcohol today." Liu Ming grabbed a piece of beef and said.

"Why?" Yuan Chen knocked off the beef in Liu Ming's hand, and asked with red eyes, "Why is there no wine today?" ”

Liu Ming glanced at her, did not have a seizure, but said calmly, "Tonight, I am going to sneak into the General's Mansion." ”

"What?" Yuan Chen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Will you take me too?" ”

"Do you want to go?" Liu Ming asked rhetorically.

Yuan Chen bit his lip tightly and nodded.

"As long as you don't regret it." Liu Ming said, grabbed another piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

After eating, Liu Ming simply packed up his clothes and took out his weapon - it was the knife he had taken from Daping Town, and he drew the knife out of its sheath, and the cold light flashed, so that Yuan Chen couldn't open his eyes. She expected him to have a big fight tonight.

After the two cleaned up, Liu Ming picked up Yuan Chen again, and went out of the yard. After a while, they arrived at the General's Mansion.

Liu Ming turned his head to look at Yuan Chen and asked quietly, "How is it?" Nervous, right? ”

Yuan Chen looked straight at the mansion, shook his head and said, "The matter has come to this, everything is already calm. ”

"Well done." Liu Ming praised it, lifted it up to the room suddenly, bowed and rushed, and after a while, he came to the room where Yuan Chen lived in the mansion like a familiar car. But for some reason, although Yuan Chen has been missing for a long time, the courtyard of the house is still brightly lit.

"This, this was my room in the first place, why is that? Who lives here? Yuan Chen was very puzzled, broke free from Liu Ming's arm, found the right position, lifted the tile, and peeked down.

I saw that the curtain on the bed in the room was dazzling, and there were maids coming in and out, as if they were trying their best to serve someone.

Just when Yuan Chen was puzzled, he suddenly heard a report from someone in the courtyard: "The general has arrived!" Looking at the voice, I saw Wu Ruojie wearing a big hat and walking in slowly.

Yuan Chen's shoulders shook, and tears almost flowed down. Liu Ming blocked her mouth with one hand, as if he was afraid that she would scream.

I saw Wu Ruojie slowly walk into the room, and everyone retreated and closed the door. Wu Ruojie walked to the side of the bed and said with a smile: "Is it better today?" But for a long time, I didn't see anyone talking inside. I guess I just nodded or shook my head. But I heard Wu Ruojie say again: "Since it's better, can I help you go?" You can't lie down all the time. This time, a voice came from the bed, a familiar voice: "Then there is General Lao." ”

With a sound, the figure of a sign moved out of the curtain. But although the posture is marked, there is a flaw, that is, the sleeve of the left arm is empty.

"Duan Xuehong!" When Yuan Chen saw it, his eyes suddenly turned red and he screamed angrily. (To be continued.) )
