Returning to the residence and covering the door, Liu Ming listened attentively, and no one seemed to be chasing him, so he calmed down and gasped sharply.

"You're not hurt, are you?" Yuan Chen asked with concern.

"No," Liu Ming shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that Wu Sangui would have such a profound martial arts person around him, I don't know where it came from." ”

"I've never seen any of these people." Yuan Chen said, "Isn't it his new helper?" ”

"New?" Liu Ming glanced at Yuan Chen, sneered and said, "You are too naïve. The newfound helper was able to come and protect him when he was in the most desperate situation? How can the cooperation be so meticulous? In my opinion, these are the masters who live by his side, but he is estranged from you and doesn't want to reveal too much to you. ”

After Yuan Chen heard this, he was extremely flustered in his heart, and he didn't know whether this was the other party's provocative words and one-sided words, or whether it was conclusive. Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that on the way to Zangchun Pavilion a few days ago, it was indeed unimaginable that as Wu Ruojie, she could go on the road alone without a single soldier to protect her. But now it seems that there is something else going on, if Liu Ming is not mistaken, then along the way, I don't know how many masters are hiding in secret, always taking care of the safety of their masters. Yes, isn't that the case when he confronts Yuan Chen in modern times? Ah Jian is that master, and the group of big men under him don't know where they came from?

Wu Ruojie is terrible. Yuan Chen couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this.

Liu Ming turned his head to look at her and said, "That's why I'm not willing to go along with him." This man is too cunning. ”

Yuan Chen was silent for a long time before nodding effortlessly. She didn't want to agree with Liu Ming's words, but at this time, what if she didn't agree?

"This miss, I'm afraid that Wu Sangui will wake up, and if he goes to assassinate again, it will be even more difficult." Liu Ming said.

"What? Assassination again? Yuan Chen was startled and his eyes widened, "Isn't the danger this time enough?" ”

"Not enough!" Liu Ming said firmly, "And if it is as Wu Sangui thinks, he should think that I dare not go again, but I have to go against the current and be taken by surprise in order to succeed." Besides, ......" he said, he paused, muttered for a while, and said, "I don't know who the heroes in the dark helped just now, and they must also be the ones who despise Wu Sangui, with everyone's help, it should be easier to assassinate him." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Chen remembered the three flying knives and one explosive just now. yes, who are those? However, it seems that he can help Liu Ming, as he said, he is a person who intends to attack Wu Ruojie. But where did Wu Ruojie provoke these people? The more she thought about it, the more she didn't understand.

Liu Ming stared at her for a long time before saying, "Don't think about it, let's rest for a while, if there is nothing abnormal, I think I will return to the Wu Mansion in a while." ”

"What?" Yuan Chen was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Now that his mansion is definitely heavily guarded, how can you risk your life again?" ”

"Otherwise," Liu Ming said with a smile, "as far as I can see, he will definitely be around in the next few days when he saw me escape." But tonight, he would never have expected me to come back again, and he would have been careless. So if I want to succeed in the assassination, I'm afraid it will only be tonight. ”

"But ......" Yuan Chen was just about to stop him, Liu Ming raised his hand and said first: "Moreover, if it is not as I expected, he will definitely send the masters around him to inspect me, if he goes at this time, he can also just avoid those masters, and kill him to be captured." ”

Yuan Chen's frightened eyes widened, looking at Liu Ming, who was almost desperate, but there was no reason to dissuade him for a while. If it is really as he said, it seems that Wu Ruojie will inevitably die tonight.

Liu Ming looked back at her and sneered, "What? Isn't that what you want to see when you kill him? ”

"No, no......" Yuan Chen hurriedly responded, but even she didn't know whether this "no" was whether she didn't want to see Wu Ruojie being killed or denied the other party's questioning.

"Don't think about it." Liu Ming took a few steps forward, patted her shoulder, and comforted, "You must always understand everything, you are always so worried, how can you break out of the shackles?" ”

Yuan Chen raised his head, looked at the other party's seemingly sincere gaze, and had no choice but to nod helplessly.

Liu Ming smiled, turned around, picked up the kettle, drank a few big mouthfuls of water, then tightened his belt, carried a knife in one hand, walked to the courtyard, looked around, saw that there was nothing unusual, and waved his hand to Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen walked slowly to the courtyard, how much she wished that she could walk more slowly, so that the sky could brighten in her slow pace? But this kind of thought was ethereal, and she still walked to Liu Ming's side.

"Let's go." Liu Ming said, picked up Yuan Chen, and was about to go to the room, but the surroundings suddenly brightened, and the torches illuminated the courtyard as bright as day, and the outside of the courtyard wall instantly became noisy. After only hearing a few "booms", the wall of the earthen courtyard was pushed to the ground, and a group of people walked in and surrounded the two. The first person is Wu Ruojie.

"Wu Sangui!" Liu Ming's eyes widened angrily, he raised his knife and shouted angrily.

"Oh? Liu Zhuangshi? How is it? Wu Ruojie squinted and smiled, not seeming to take his deterrence in his eyes at all.

"I was about to look for you, and you came to die on your own, so don't blame me for being rude!" Liu Ming said and was about to step forward.

"Slow!" Yuan Chen suddenly shouted, hugged Liu Ming's arm, and begged bitterly, "There are many of them, you can't take any advantage, don't take any risks, see if you want to enter the meeting, run away!" ”

"Run?" Liu Ming broke free a few times, but Yuan Chen hugged him tightly, couldn't break free, and said angrily, "You still don't let go?" Do you want me to be unkind to you? ”

"You dare!" Wu Ruojie suddenly pulled down his face, stared at him and said, "If you dare to touch one of her fingers, I promise to let you break your body into pieces!" ”

"Huh? Ha ha! When Liu Ming heard this, he couldn't stop laughing, and said, "Hugh is going to say a big thing, and his tongue flashed." I'm going to see if you can do it! As he spoke, he grabbed Yuan Chen's collar and used force back and forth, knocking him to the ground.

Yuan Chen screamed, Wu Ruojie was furious and wanted to help, but Liu Ming raised his knife forward and stabbed him in the throat.

Just as the tip of the knife was about to touch his throat, an iron rod suddenly slashed at him. The stick is longer than the knife, and Liu Ming estimated in an instant that before his knife stabbed Wu Ruojie, I was afraid that this stick would make his brain bloom. So he hurriedly put away his knife and retreated, and after standing firm, he fixed his eyes and watched.

It turned out that the man who made the stick was really the dwarf, and the dwarf smiled and said, "If you really forget yourself to assassinate, don't dodge." ”

"You...... Who are you? Liu Ming rebuked angrily.

"Of course I'm General Wu's man." The dwarf laughed, and said, "What is like her?" said that he was a general Wu, but he was doing a despicable deed. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and saw the woman who was partnering with him walking forward with a person tied up with five flowers. Yuan Chen saw that the person who was tied up was actually Duan Xuehong!

"This ...... What's going on here? Yuan Chen's lips trembled and he got up, grabbed Liu Ming and asked. But Liu Ming looked at everything in front of him with red eyes, the corners of his mouth were tightly locked, and he was silent.

"And there's more." The dwarf clapped his hands again, and the big man on the other side also set up a person, it was Li Jia!

"He ......" Yuan Chen's eyes widened, his fingers trembling and pointed at Li Jia, and asked Liu Mingdao, "Isn't he already killed by you?" How...... How could it be ......"

"Yuanyuan, don't you understand? They're all in this together! Wu Ruojie suddenly said, "You have fallen for their tricks." ”

"What?" Yuan Chen couldn't believe his ears and exclaimed, "This, what's going on?" ”

"Let me tell you!" Liu Ming suddenly roared, and the scene suddenly fell silent. I saw him lower his head, hang down the knife, wipe the corners of his mouth, and muttered for a long time before he said slowly.

It turned out that this Xue Hong and Liu Ming had known each other for a long time. As Duan Xuehong said, after her injuries healed, she walked the rivers and lakes with her sword, although she had been trying to inquire about Yuan Chen's whereabouts, but she had no clue. In the process, she actually met Liu Zongmin, who waved his troops to the Central Plains. Coincidentally, there is a cadre under Liu Zongmin, named Yuan Dingbang, who is really a partial general under Yuan Shizhong, this Yuan Dingbang is sending troops to inspect, and he happened to meet Duan Xuehong, carefully distinguished, or secretly followed, and reported to Liu Zongmin that he knew. That night, at the hotel where Duan Xuehong was staying, the rebels took it.

At the beginning, Duan Xuehong thought that she had just suffered a catastrophe, but there was a catastrophe, and she was caught by the righteous army, and she could not escape death. But as everyone knows, Yuan Dingbang has already explained the source of the matter to Liu Zongmin, and Liu Zongmin also had a relationship with Yuan Shizhong, sighing that he was harmed by a woman and had nowhere to redress his grievances, so he could also accept Yuan Dingbang. Today, I saw Duan Xuehong's eyebrows and eyes handsome, and her martial arts were outstanding, and she liked it very much, so she was exempted from her sins, stayed by her side to use, and sent Yuan Dingbang to instill the idea of the Ming army from time to time. In the end, he finally found out the information of Yuan Moqing and Liu Ming. Liu Zongmin and Yuan Dingbang thought about it carefully, and felt that Yuan Moqing was just a burden, but Liu Ming was a usable talent, so they found out the details of Liu Ming, saved up the plan in detail, and asked Yuan Dingbang to lobby in person.

After Liu Ming moved into Guo's Mansion in Changzhou, he actually wanted to stay with Yuan Moqing for life, but his mind was indeed full of Yuan Chen's figure, and he did call out Yuan Chen's name that night. This incident made the relationship between the husband and wife take a turn for the worse, but at this moment, Yuan Dingbang came to visit again.

During the conversation, Yuan Dingbang claimed that Yuan Shangguang's killing and humiliation of Liu Mingfa's wife was actually caused by Yuan Shizhong's pampering, and it was also related to Yuan Shizhong. This made Liu Ming very angry, and he quarreled with Yuan Moqing when he turned around. Yuan Moqing saw that Liu Ming was not loyal to him, and insulted his father, almost fell out with him, and almost waved a knife at him. But at this moment, Duan Xuehong stepped out and temporarily eased the contradiction between the two. In those few nights, Yuan Moqing had been living in the same room with Duan Xuehong, while Liu Ming went to Liu Zongmin's mansion, and was strongly persuaded to return to his subordinates. This is why Wu Ruojie persuaded him so hard that he could not belong to his banner. In addition, Liu Zongmin loves talent and gives the treasure knife to Liu Ming, which is actually the one he made before. This surprised Liu Ming, and he also believed that Liu Zongmin had a very close relationship with him, and he could be called his reborn person.

Since then, Duan Xuehong and Liu Ming have both worked for Liu Zongmin. At first, the two did spark. Liu Ming is really a handsome guy who is rare in the world, and he has no choice in terms of figure, appearance, martial arts, and surname. Not to mention Duan Xuehong, a rare beauty through the ages, she is also good at martial arts, and the two also have a common language. After a long time, it is inevitable to fall in love. But when the two talked about Yuan Shizhong, they began to have disagreements. Liu Ming's prejudice against Yuan Shizhong was unacceptable to Duan Xuehong, but the two didn't dare to go to Liu Zongmin to confirm who was right and who was wrong. So in the end, although the two were still under the same door, they separated from God and parted ways. This reminded Duan Xuehong of what Lu Sheng's blind old man said: "The willows are green, and the ice and snow are red; What is the way to the enemy, and he will not obey. The first twelve words were almost clear, but she still couldn't figure out what the last sentence meant. However, Liu Zongmin's plan couldn't help them think too much about their own private affairs, and after hearing that Jiangnan had been deployed by Wu Sangui, he sent many good men to Jiangnan, either by the side of Wu's mansion, or to investigate in the dark, the purpose was to prevent Wu Sangui from building momentum in Jiangnan. And Duan Xuehong is the former, and even in order to gain trust, when she pretended to pursue Liu Ming and went out to meet Li Jia, she was persuaded by Li Jia and was willing to cut off her arm on the spot. And that arm was taken away by Li Jia and handed over to Liu Zongmin.

Looking back, Li Jia originally belonged directly to Li Zicheng, but he also had a relationship with Liu Zongmin, and when he visited Liu in Liu's mansion, he also met Liu Ming. In fact, his main task was to go to Zangchun Pavilion and other places to find Jiangnan women, but he didn't want to be deceived by Wu Ruojie to Changzhou. So after kidnapping Yuan Chen, Liu Ming pretended to kill him, but in fact he just made a disguise. Then Liu Ming took Yuan Chen to a house in a depressed place on the edge of the city, although Wu Ruojie also searched, but it was inevitable that he would fall into this barren place, so it was no wonder that there was no noise outside the wall. And before the night assassination, Wu Ruojie fell into the house in the courtyard, not to kill Duan Xuehong, but to talk to Duan Xuehong and Li Jia, who had already hidden in the house in advance. This also led to the three flying knives thrown by Duan Xuehong and a fried pellet thrown by Li Jia.

"I'm done." After Liu Ming finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Chen, who was already staying in place, and said.

"Wonderful." Wu Ruojie was the first to applaud and said with a smile, "The plot has ups and downs, it's really a rare novel theme." ”

"Humph!" Liu Ming sneered, "I am very different today, not only will I not be able to kill you, but I am afraid that I will not be able to escape death." I just want Yuanyuan to know that I don't want to lie to her. ”

"Hah!" Wu Ruojie looked up to the sky and laughed dryly, and said, "You are quite benevolent." ”

"It's much better than your hypocrisy!" Liu Ming scolded.

"Am I hypocritical?" Wu Ruojie smiled coldly and said, "If you can tell me how I am hypocritical, I will let you go." ”

"Don't dare to work. However, after Yuanyuan disappeared, did you really have the heart to look for it? Liu Ming narrowed his eyes and asked.

"How not?" Wu Ruojie said angrily, "If it weren't for your ill intentions and placing her in such a biased place, how could I not find her?" ”

"Oh?" Liu Ming smiled after hearing this, and clenched his fists, "Dare to ask how many soldiers General Wu sent to find it?" ”

Wu Ruojie glared and said, "Although I don't send many troops, they are all elite soldiers. After all, the whole city is garrisoned, and the lives of the people cannot be disturbed because of a woman. ”

"What a general Wu who loves the people like a son." Liu Ming laughed, but Yuan Chen burst into tears. By comparing her to the people, she knew she was unworthy. But I don't know why, these words came out of Wu Ruojie's mouth, but they made her so uncomfortable, and her heart was like a knife.

"Then let me ask you again, don't you hide anything from Yuanyuan?" Liu Ming asked again.

"Of course!" Wu Ruojie pondered for a moment and said.

Yuan Chen rushed in front of Liu Ming and cried and asked, "Who are those three people, how can I not know?" ”

"This ......" Wu Ruojie paused, softened his tone, and said, "This is a military matter, you are a woman, how to ......"

"So what?" Yuan Chen cried, "Okay, even if this is as you said, I'll ask you one last thing." Why should I let Duan Xuehong live in my room? ”

"This ......" Wu Ruojie was really speechless this time. But at this moment, Duan Xuehong interjected, "I took the initiative to ask for it, don't blame the general." ”

"Shut up!" Yuan Chen cried and scolded, "I have always respected you as my sister, but who knows you...... But she did such a thing, **......**......" said this, she couldn't go on.

"Why do you say that about me?" Duan Xuehong suddenly burst into tears, "Is it only allowed that you love the general, but not me?" ”

"What? You ......" Yuan Chen was taken aback when he heard this. She didn't expect an ancient woman to be so open-minded and talk about your love in front of everyone. Looking at the way she looks, I don't want to fake at all. Could it be that she is really infatuated? Desperate? Thinking of this, Yuan Chen looked at Wu Ruojie again. Wu Ruojie seemed to have done something wrong and lowered his head.

"Look at me!" Yuan Chen cried and shouted, "Why don't you dare to look at me? Is it true that this woman said? ”

"It's true!" Duan Xuehong suddenly raised her voice, her eyes were red, and she screamed with tears in her eyes, "The general and I already have a ** relationship, and we are husband and wife!" (To be continued.) )
