Cheng Luojie had been busy killing the enemy just now, and she didn't bother to check her injuries. At this moment, I heard Leng Yi mention it, so she reached out and touched it, feeling slimy, although she was Queen Kaibao's personal guard, she had never killed anyone before coming to Leng Yi's side, and she didn't know that she still had the problem of fainting blood, and her whole body suddenly became weak.

Leng Yi hurriedly hugged her and said, "Go back quickly, I'll help you bandage!" ”

Helping Cheng Luojie back to her room and letting her lean on the chair, Leng Yi found the potion and cleaned her wound, seeing that the wound was not deep, and she didn't even need to stitch it up, so she was a little relieved. Drugged her and whispered, "Are you feeling better?" ”

Cheng Luojie nodded slightly, she had begun to slowly get used to the blood, but this time, it was her own bleeding, blood deficiency and blood halo, so she softened. After sitting for a while, I felt better.

Leng Yi said: "Then you have a good rest, I'll go back." ”

"Wait!" Cheng Luojie opened her eyes and looked at him, "Can you stay with me for a while?" Just for a moment! ”

Leng Yi nodded: "Then I'll help you get into bed." ”

Leng Yi supported Cheng Luojie, Cheng Luojie almost her entire body was attached to him, after lying down on the bed, Cheng Luojie still held his hand, and said softly: "I ......, I thought I would never see you again......" Thinking of the danger just now, I was afraid for a while, and tears rolled in my eyes.

Leng Yi sat down on the edge of her bed and gently stroked her hair: "Don't worry, aren't we together?" ”

Cheng Luojie held his hand tightly: "Actually, if I die at this time, it may be better!" That way, at least I'll die by your side. ”

"Nonsense!" Leng Yi kissed her on the cheek lovingly, "It's good to say that it's dead or alive." Don't be afraid of bad luck! ”

Cheng Luojie choked back tears, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's good to be with you for a moment longer." Anything else, I don't force it! ”

Leng Yi said: "Don't think about it so much, sleep obediently!" ”

"Of course you don't have to think about it, you just cheated on me, and if you throw it away, you will throw it away! Won't feel anything! Cheng Luojie suddenly impulsively said what she had thought before, but when she saw Leng Yi frowning in embarrassment, she immediately regretted it, got up, hugged Leng Yi's neck tightly, and choked up: "I'm sorry, I said something wrong, I'm sorry!" Brother Yi, I shouldn't say that, I know you're embarrassed, in fact, even if you are willing to marry me, I can't marry you. I'm just upset, so I'm mad at you. I'm sorry......"

Leng Yi turned his face sideways, kissed her, and said, "Stupid words, do we still need to say sorry?" ”

As soon as Cheng Luojie heard this, her heart warmed a lot, let go of him, wiped a handful of tears, and said, "Okay, you go back, anyway, we can be together before we find the treasure." ”

Leng Yi smiled, touched her face, got up and walked out of the room.

After Cheng Luojie saw him off, she sighed and leaned on the head of the bed. I was uneasy in my heart, for fear that the strong enemy would go and return, so I got up again, took a long sword, came out and inspected the surroundings again, and met Yin Vulture and others who were also patrolling.

Yin Eagle said: "Don't worry, I found that there are many good people secretly guarding around our house, even those who helped us just now, and they don't know where they came from, so they don't say anything if they ask." Fortunately, it is our helper, so you can rest assured. ”

Cheng Luojie nodded, and then returned to Leng Yi outside their bedroom to meet her sister Cheng Luojie, and the two were back on duty to make arrangements.

Before dawn the next day, Leng Yi saw that Zhuo Qiaoniang was already asleep, so he changed his outfit, put on a human skin mask, avoided Cheng Luojie and them, climbed over the wall, and went straight to an apricot restaurant.

Soon, Bai Hong came out to meet her, and seeing her solemn face, Leng Yi felt that the matter was probably a little serious, and said in a low voice: "Have you already asked who sent these killers?" ”

Bai Hong shook his head slightly: "They only said that an old man hired them with a lot of money." Who the old man was, they didn't know. ”

This result was already expected by Leng Yi, he smiled and said, "Then your face is so ugly, I thought there was some major discovery and the consequences were very serious!" ”

Bai Hong looked at him, didn't smile, and said, "The consequences are indeed not optimistic!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"These people are not unintentionally organized!"

Leng Yi also chuckled in his heart, if these people were not unintentionally organized, that is, at present, there were at least two groups of people who wanted to assassinate themselves!

Leng Yi said: "No wonder, last night there were not the two people who were on the street that night and were ready to assassinate me. If there is, then we are afraid that we will not have this ease. ”

Bai Hong said: "This group of killers is not easy. Their main forces did not go out! This time, they're just testing your vigilance. I can see that, so by not killing them before they enter your house, you are making them think that your defenses are weak and that such a group of killers can come to your side so that they can underestimate the enemy. ”

Leng Yi said with a smile: "Actually, my protection is really weak, there are only six people in total, and my martial arts are not super first-class." If you don't bring someone to protect you this time, I'm afraid the result will be miserable. ”

Speaking of this, Leng Yi chuckled in his heart and realized that something was wrong,—— since Emperor Zhao Guangyi specially ordered him to track down such an important treasure as the Jinkui Covenant, and knew that there were some people who also wanted to get this treasure, and some people wanted to prevent the discovery of this treasure, and did not hesitate to hire a killer to assassinate him, in such a sinister situation, why didn't the emperor send more masters to protect himself, and even did not send anyone to supplement the three guards who had been reduced, what was going on?

Bai Hong saw that Leng Yi was suddenly thinking about something, so he didn't bother him.

For a moment, Leng Yi shook his head, although he was good at detecting and reasoning, but what did the emperor think about what was happening in the palace, he didn't have the relevant information, so he couldn't reason.

Since the emperor doesn't send additional guards to himself, can he find a way to hire a master to protect himself? In the face of two groups of killers, if you go out of the nest, you are afraid that your current manpower will not be enough, and you can't sit still.

Thinking of this, Leng Yi said: "I want to ask a master to act as a bodyguard for me and my family, do you have a way to help me get it?" ”

Bai Hong smiled: "That's what I mean, the killers of our organization are all one-line contacts, it is not appropriate to gather together to protect you, what I brought yesterday is actually just my entourage, and the martial arts are not high, when I encounter a super master like Wuxin, I am afraid that it will not work." Therefore, it is a good idea to hire a master to be a bodyguard with a high salary, but it is of little use to invite ordinary masters, and super-first-class masters cannot be hired for money. This is where it gets difficult. ”

Leng Yi said: "If you can invite as high as you can, you can ask for as high as you can, and there is no way to invite it." If it really doesn't work, just use crowd tactics, which is always better than no one. ”

"That's true, anyway, your current money, even if you hire one hundred and eighty decent masters, it's no problem."

"Okay, then please help me please."

Bai Hong nodded and said, "I immediately wrote to send someone to invite, the nearest Wumei Daoist from Qingcheng Mountain and his two junior disciples have a personal relationship with me, and I should be able to invite them at a high price." The three of them have good martial arts, at least not weaker than your current guards, and they should be able to help you a little. ”

"Great! When will it arrive? ”

"The day after tomorrow at the earliest. It's okay, this assassination has also been hit hard, and whether it will come again for a while and a half, just guard against people who have no intention of organizing. However, they are not moral, and you should always be on your guard. ”

"I see."

Bai Hong said again: "The other people will be able to arrive one after another within ten days, I will help you invite, the martial arts are still passable, and they are also righteous." After please, I will tell you their price, and you pay them directly. They will take your money and will definitely die for you. ”

Leng Yi said: "The key is your face, otherwise, no matter how much money you give, they are afraid that they will not come." ”

Bai Hong smiled and said, "Help each other." You are the leader of my organization, who will I not help you? ”

"What about the killer caught last night?"

"Kill!" Bai Hong said lightly: "The three people who entered the house already know that your martial arts are very powerful, and this can't be passed on, lest the enemy be on guard, so you must kill it." Rest assured, the corpse is well disposed of, and the enemy will not know. ”

That's what he was worried about, and when he heard that she had dealt with it, he was relieved, so he got up and said goodbye and went home.

He returned to the outside of the house and climbed over the wall to enter, only to find that the back window, which had been slightly open, was closed. couldn't help but be stunned, and heard Zhuo Qiaoniang talking to Caosui in the house, her voice was very soft, but full of anxiety. Quickly took off the human skin mask and paced out.

As soon as he appeared, he was discovered by Cheng Luoyan, who was in charge of guarding in the second half of the night, and flashed out of the night, seeing that it was him, he couldn't help but wonder: "Master, when did you come out?" How did I not know? ”

Leng Yi smiled and said, "I can't sleep, come out and look at the moon, don't you see me?" ”

"Nope!" Cheng Luoyan was very surprised, she had been patrolling near the master bedroom, but she didn't find Leng Yi coming out, which was too careless, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her forehead.

Leng Yi said: "You patrol hard, just the two of you, I am thinking about spending money to hire some good men to help you guard, so it may be better." ”

Cheng Luoyan was overjoyed and said, "That's good!" By the way, let's hire the people who helped last night, their martial arts are still good. ”

"That's also a friend, I can only help temporarily, and in the long run, I have to find someone else."

"So it was your friend last night, sir? I can't imagine that the eldest master has so many capable friends, if they hadn't come forward to help yesterday, it would have been troublesome! - Madame up? ”

Cheng Luoyan looked at Zhuo Qiaoniang standing at the door behind Leng Yi.

Leng Yi turned around and said, "Qiao Niang, why did you stand up, the dew is heavy this night, beware of the aggravation of your condition." With that, he walked over quickly and grabbed her arm.

Zhuo Qiaoniang took her eyes back from Cheng Luoyan, looked at Leng Yi, smiled reluctantly, and said: "The concubine woke up and didn't see the official, and she was in a hurry, but she heard the voice of an official talking outside, and she was anxious, so she came out to take a look." It's okay, the concubine went back. With that, he slowly turned around and walked back into the house.

Leng Yi knew that she had misunderstood, thinking that she had come out to talk to Cheng Luoyan, and glanced back at Cheng Luoyan. Under the red lantern in the corridor, Cheng Luoyan stuck out her tongue at him and made a grimace.

Leng Yi also explained, helping Zhuo Qiaoniang back to the house, Zhuo Qiaoniang saw that her husband did not stay and continue to talk to Cheng Luoyan, somehow, she felt a little warm in her heart, after all, her husband can understand himself, this is enough.

Zhuo Qiaoniang lay on the bed again, Leng Yi kissed her, covered her with a quilt, and she was still lying on the soft collapse in front of the bed. After a while, I fell asleep again.

The next day, Leng Yi invited Zhuo Qiaoniang's brother and sister-in-law early in the morning and set up a banquet at home for dinner, saying that relatives were here and had not yet officially invited guests to dinner. I also invited the church to have a lively meeting for two days, and my brother and sister-in-law lived at home for these two days. Zhuo Dayou and his wife were very happy.

In fact, Leng Yi did this just to concentrate the personnel in the courtyard of the house, so as not to be attacked by strong enemies and facilitate protection. This can only be done before the master of the invitation arrives.

The church invited local opera troupes in Bazhou, juggling, storytelling, and singing. It's very lively.

The old lady Leng Changbei and Leng Yi sat in the first row, Zhuo Qiaoniang was seriously ill and it was inconvenient to come out, so she fell asleep in the house. Grass Spike accompanies in the house. Behind Leng Changbei and them, there are Zhuo Dayou and Leng Fu, and the servants in the family can only stand behind and watch the play.

The two women on the stage were wearing singing costumes, wearing masks of the characters in the play, babbling and singing, Leng Yi couldn't understand, but when they saw the old lady Leng Changbei, they all listened to it with relish, maybe it was a unique singing in the Great Song Dynasty, so they also pretended to be very fascinated and listened.

Leng Changbei shook his head and said: "The one on the left sings the best, but it seems to be a little out of tune with the one on the right, and it is a little rusty, so it is much stronger than the church invited by the big families in our village." ”

Leng Yi nodded: "It's a good singing." ”

Leng Fu behind him praised: "It's really good to sing, brother, can you get some money to reward them?" ”

"Of course you can," Leng Yi asked the tent room to take a basket of copper coins and put them aside, Leng Fu grabbed a handful and threw it on the stage, and shouted hello!

Zhuo Dayou and his wife also took copper coins and threw them on the platform.

The two women on the stage did not stop, still singing the incomprehensible play.

Leng Yi said to Leng Changbei: "Grandpa, you can also reward them." ”

Leng Changbei said in a low voice: "We gave money for the meeting, why do we need to give a reward?" Aren't all of them gone! Even if you have money, you can't spend it so lavishly, right? ”

Leng Yi smiled and said, "Just have fun." ”

Leng Fu on the side also said: "Yes, grandpa, in the past, Luo Mazi's family in the village held a church meeting, and I went to see the excitement, and that family also threw money to reward like this, and the money that people rewarded was several baskets!" Even looking at the excitement, he also rewarded a few large copper coins. ”

"That's a loser!" Leng Changbei snorted and said, "You haven't seen what Luo Mazi's family has become now?" Is there any scenery from the past? That's because they don't keep their jobs, they don't know that their wealth is not easy to come by, and they are messing around, do you also want to learn from him? You have to learn and succeed, use your own money, how bad you love to practice! Don't take your brother's money! ”

Leng Fu had no choice but to put away the handful of copper coins that he was about to throw on the stage, and he didn't dare to talk back.

At this time, after singing a section on stage, the two women came down to thank the reward. Ying Ying walked in front of the old lady and bowed down: "Thank you for the old lady's reward, I wish the old lady all the blessings!" ”

Leng Changbei smiled and said, "This is my grandson's money, if you want to thank him, you can thank him!" ”

The two women hurriedly got up again and knelt down in front of Leng Yi: "Thank you for the reward!" I wish the eldest lord a straight rise and a prosperous journey! ”

Leng Yi smiled: "Mianli, get up quickly!" ”

The two women knelt up, and at this moment, one of them suddenly made a move, with a short blade in his hand, and the cold light stabbed towards Leng Yi's throat!

The two were almost face to face, and with such a sudden distance, it stands to reason that Leng Yi could not dodge, but it seemed that he happened to turn his head sideways to talk to Leng Changbei, who was watching, so he let go of the knife!

The woman missed, and immediately flew backwards, and at the same time, grabbed the woman who was singing with her, and blocked it.

Cheng Luojie was standing guard next to Leng Yi, and she didn't expect the enemy to pretend to be a trickster to sneak attack, but fortunately, Leng Yi happened to turn her head to speak and dodged. Cheng Luojie was shocked and angry, and raised her hand to release the flying knife, but the other party had already guarded against it and blocked the other woman in front of her. Cheng Luojie's flying knife couldn't shoot out.

The assassin who pretended to be a joke sneered at Leng Yi: "You are lucky, you just turned your head to dodge, but you can't be so lucky every time, we will come to you, if you are interested, you can wipe your neck yourself." Lest we exert ourselves, you won't survive anyway! ”

Only then did everyone in the audience come back to their senses and suddenly there was chaos. Running around, including the servants in the house, the actors who invited the church to sing, and the neighbors came to see the excitement. It's a mess like a pot.

The old lady trembled and wanted to get up, but her legs were disobedient and she couldn't get up from sitting there. Leng Fu and Zhuo Dayou both got under the table, and Leng Fu saw that the old lady and the eldest brother's feet were still in their seats, so he knew that they were not hiding. Quickly got up and climbed out to pull the cold long monument: "Grandpa, hide quickly, the sword doesn't have eyes!" ”

At that moment, more than a dozen men armed with swords appeared around the mansion and surrounded the assassin.

The Assassin took the woman hostage, laughed, and said, "Whoever has the ability to come up!" If you want her to die, come up! ”

Leng Changbei had been taken away by Leng Fu, and Leng Yi forced his composure and said to the killer: "Let go of the hostages!" Throw down your blade and surrender, and say who commanded you. In this way, the official may consider giving you a lighter punishment.

The assassin sneered and said, "Have your spring and autumn dreams, and then!" ”

Suddenly, she shook her hand and threw the woman in her hand out and threw it at Leng Yi.

Leng Yi hurriedly caught the woman with his hand, only to feel that his whole body was soft, and after a closer look, he found that the woman had been stabbed in the back, and blood gushed out like spring water.
