One day her horse suddenly went crazy and almost threw her off her back, but it was Siming who suddenly appeared and saved her.

At this time, Zhang Ying discovered that he was very strong in martial arts. So he transferred her to his side and acted as a guard.

Since he can't sleep, let him protect himself, and make the best use of it.

Zhang Ying often handed over some difficult things to him, and every time he did it well. And he never said anything about what she confessed, and always remained indifferent and calm.

But because of this, she unconsciously became more and more trusting and dependent on him.

His availability gave her the illusion that he would be by her side silently all the time.

But now, why did he leave?

Zhang Ying tried to control her mind and not let herself fall into a panic.

When was the last time he was seen? Yes, last month's Tanabata Festival!

At that time, she asked him to investigate the man.

Since then, he doesn't seem to have appeared again, because he usually hides quietly around him, and he basically doesn't appear when he has nothing to do, and his sense of presence is so weak that he is almost non-existent, causing her to often ignore that there is such a person around her.

As a result, a month passed, and she found out that he was missing!

Did he leave on his own? No, if he leaves, he will at least tell himself.

It's not going to disappear like that.

So what's wrong with him? Or does it have something to do with the man she asked him to investigate?

Beicheng, a three-entry house with a plaque of "Huo Mansion".

In the study, Wang Yan was reporting to Pei Lian.

“…… That person was determined and very guarded, so he didn't open his mouth anyway, but he still used soul-attracting incense to pry his mouth open, his name is Ximing, and he was sent by Zhang Shun's daughter Zhang Ying, who wanted to inquire about your news. But he didn't recognize you, and that Zhang Ying seemed to just be interested in you—"

A cool blow swept over, and Wang Yan hurriedly changed his tone: "Ximing is the name given to him by Zhang Ying, he was seriously injured before, and he forgot everything about the past when he woke up." However, judging from the number of martial arts and the scars on his body, he should have been a killer before. ”

Killer?

Pei Lin carved in his hand, he held a piece of fine mutton fat jade in his hand, the size of a child's fist, the jade had begun to take shape, and it could be seen that it was a woman.

"Why did he stay with Zhang Ying?"

Crow: "Because she bought him." ”

Pei Lian: "......"

This answer is really a bit unexpected.

Is this killer so real?

I was bought and I have been following her and doing things for her?

It doesn't seem to be a problem.

"Try to see if you can bring him over, if not-"

Wang Yan: "Then kill it?" ”

Pei Lin shook off the jade shavings in his hand, and said leisurely: "I'm so cruel in your eyes?" ”

Wang Yan: "Ahem, of course not, you are the most merciful, master." ”

He blew a rainbow fart with a clear conscience.

"If he can't, let him mine."

Pei Lin secretly holds several unknown ore veins in his hands, one of which is an iron ore mine, which can be used to craft weapons.

According to the law, all the mineral veins in the land of Daqi belong to the state and the imperial court, and if you dare to mine privately, once it is discovered, it will be the end of the family and the extermination.

But the benefits are moving, an iron mine is worth no less than a gold mine, or even more than a gold mine, because the gold mine itself has no actual value, and iron ore can be directly converted into weapons.

Wang Yan nodded yes, and then said another thing: "Master, the yellow crow sent a message that when the Huo family incident happened, the little son of the Huo family's third room was dropped, and the Huo family secretly took him and escaped. It's just that the man is hiding deeply, and there is no news so far. ”

Pei Lin shook his fingers and carved a crooked stroke.

"Command the white crows, green crows, and ink crows to search for the whereabouts of Changsheng with all their might."

When the Huo family had an accident, the child had just been full moon, and he had not yet entered the family tree, so he took the nickname of "Changsheng", which was also a kind of hope of the elders for him.

originally thought that the Huo family had been killed by his good father, but he didn't expect Changsheng to survive.

Pei Lin couldn't help but think of the first time he saw the child, that day was the full moon ceremony of Changsheng, he deliberately went over to look at him, ordinary children were afraid of the evil qi on his body, but Changsheng was not afraid, and grabbed his fingers and didn't let go.

This child is the only seedling left in the Huo family, and there must be nothing to do.

Wang Yan: "Master, there is one more thing. ”

"Say."

"The subordinates intercepted the letter sent by the second prince to Zhang Shun, in which the second prince asked Zhang Shun to find out the source of the chili pepper from Miss Zhao, and if necessary, he could marry Miss Zhao into the door with a marriage contract."

After Wang Yan said this, he instantly felt the temperature around him drop, which was the chill emanating from the master's body.

Previously, the master instructed him to pay special attention to the affairs of the two girls, Xue and Zhao, and report it immediately as soon as there was a situation, but now looking at the master's reaction, could it be that the master is ...... to that Zhao girl

At this time, a gray figure swept in from the window: "Master, Miss Xue has returned home." ”

Suddenly, the heavy atmosphere in the room was shaken, Pei Lin put the half-carved white jade statue in his hand into the drawer, and disappeared in an instant.

Xue Wu went home with a box of small cakes and went to Pei Lin as soon as possible.

"Practicing calligraphy?"

Pei Lian, who had just come back after the bookcase and was holding a pen, the heart in his chest was still beating rapidly, but he couldn't see it on his face at all, he followed the voice and looked over, his eyes were happy: "Sister-in-law is back." ”

He put down his pen, strode over and took her hand and sat down on the couch, "What delicious food did my sister-in-law bring me?" ”

Xue Wu opened the box, and there were six small cakes neatly arranged inside, packed in paper cups, topped with cream and fruit.

"Oh, let's eat." She took one out and handed it to him, and then handed it a small spoon.

Pei Lin took it and fed the first spoonful to her mouth: "Sister-in-law also eats." ”

Xue Wan smiled.

Now she is used to sharing food with him, using the same spoon, the same pair of chopsticks or something, it is all trivial.

"Okay, you eat slowly, I'll send food to Jun'er and Mr. Mei."

Xue Yu touched his head and walked away with the cake box.

When she arrived at the small cross courtyard, Xue Wu saw Xue Jun playing the piano under the osmanthus tree, and Mei Jiqin knelt beside her, instructing her on fingering.

"Did you learn?"

"Hmm."

"Then you play this piece in its entirety."

Xue Jun nodded, lightly rested his fingers on the strings, and flicked it.

The sound of the piano is lively and cheerful, crisp and pleasant, like a lark chirping in the ear.

Xue Wu leaned against the door of the moon cave and listened quietly, and when this piece of music was finished, she immediately applauded, "It's so good!" Jun'er has already learned to play the piano. ”

Xue Jun's face was slightly red, "Sister." ”

Mei Jiqin got up, "Sister-in-law, you're here." ”

Xue Wu walked over and handed the cake box in her hand forward, "I'm here to bring you something delicious." ”

A carpet was laid under the luxuriant osmanthus tree, and she knelt down directly and took out the cake, "Taste it, Zhao Ji's new little cake." ”
