The wind whistled in his ears, and the scenery in front of Qin Yunuan gradually changed from the green tiles and red walls of King Ning's Mansion to a lush forest, and when he arrived at a clearing in the forest, the person holding Qin Yunuan hostage finally stopped, and when he put Qin Yunuan down, he stumbled violently and almost fell, Qin Yunuan saw clearly that this man's left shoulder was injured.

The only sound in the forest was the rustling of the leaves through the wind, and the man suddenly became alert, and muttered to himself, "He's coming after him." ”

Just when Qin Yunuan was still reacting to who this "he" meant, Leng Changxi had already landed lightly like a ghost in the dark night, the slightly tightened cardigan outlined his dignified body, and the half-bundled black hair danced slightly in the wind, he didn't move, but his eyes had already penetrated the thick moisture in the forest.

It turned out that he had been following behind.

"How dare you take a step closer?" When the man who held Qin Yunuan hostage saw Leng Changxi's appearance, he subconsciously put the dagger against Qin Yunuan's neck again, and the soft moonlight sprinkled through the leaves, which happened to make Qin Yunuan see the pattern on the dagger clearly, she remembered that this was the dagger that killed Shangguan Rang and stabbed Man'er when she was attacked in the small thatched hut last time.

Then this person is......

"Anyang Wang Zhao replied," Leng Changxi exhaled lightly and spoke slowly, "I will actually be so downcast that I will take a weak woman as a hostage, I really overestimated you in the past." ”

"I overestimated you too," Zhao Hui smiled grimly, "I thought you were a good opponent who acted uprightly, but I didn't expect you to use those dark tricks as well." Zhao Huijin subconsciously looked at his left shoulder, if it wasn't for his negligence and being ambushed by Leng Changxi, he could still play slowly with Leng Changxi.

Leng Changxi raised his eyebrows: "A person who uses a woman who doesn't know martial arts to blackmail me, what else is he talking to me?" ”

Zhao Huijin smiled coldly: "But today you will still lose in my hands," he leaned the dagger against Qin Yunuan's white neck again, Qin Yunuan seemed to be able to feel the twitching sensation of his skin due to the tightness, and in his ear was Zhao Huijin's hoarse voice: "I know, you don't dare to touch me easily for her, now let your people go back, go back immediately!" Also, prepare a fast horse and exit documents for me. ”

Leng Changxi smiled contemptuously, his eyes only wandered on Qin Yunuan's face for a moment, but just such a moment made Qin Yunuan extremely calm, "Do you really think Beidi will help you?" Leng Changxi said as he cleaned up behind his back, and the woods behind him made a slight noise, which was the sound of Leng Changxi's eighteen shadow guards retreating and evacuating, Zhao Huijin was profound, and he knew very well whether people left or not, Leng Changxi didn't want to take risks in this regard.

Not only did he let the shadow guard go, Leng Changxi also slowly untied his belt, and waved a soft sword hidden in his waist with a backhand, and the blade was straight into the ground, and the silver light was a little dazzling.

"Heroes still pass the beauty level after all." Zhao Huijin smiled mockingly, "Leng Changxi, you are still the same as me after all, I can't save Xian'er, and I won't let this woman live." Zhao Huijin raised the eyes of the yin owl, and suddenly said, "I won't let you continue to live." ”

Almost instantly, Zhao Huijin suddenly took out the dagger in his hand and stabbed straight towards Leng Changxi's face, the speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to dodge, but Leng Changxi turned on one side slightly, and passed by this high-speed dagger, this was an extremely failed sneak attack, but Leng Changxi knew that Zhao Huijin's purpose was not to hurt him.

Sure enough, after Zhao Huijin successfully attracted Leng Changxi's attention with the dagger, he pulled out another short dagger hidden in his boots with his backhand, and went vertically downward, stabbing towards Qin Yunuan's heart, just when the tip of the knife was only a centimeter away from Qin Yunuan, time seemed to come to an abrupt end.

Zhao Huijin froze suddenly, and the dagger in his hand was forever fixed in that position, there was a pair of big hands on the blade, and the strong five fingers tightly grasped the blade, dripping bright red liquid, slimy, dripping on Qin Yunuan's slender fingertips.

Leng Changxi held the blade in one hand, and in the other hand, he held a soft sword and accurately pierced Zhao Huijin's heart, piercing Zhao Huijin's entire body, and dense footsteps immediately sounded around him, it was the voice of Leng Changxi's eighteen shadow guards chasing and killing Zhao Huijin's subordinates, and the shadow of the sword, spear and sword, in front of Qin Yunuan's eyes, was uniquely fixed into Leng Changxi's face wearing a mask and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

The face at this moment made her heart seem to stop.

Leng Wu stepped forward to deal with Zhao Huijin's corpse, the soft sword was quenched with poison, Zhao Huijin couldn't live anymore, Leng Changxi only looked at the injured left hand with his backhand, and the two blood-red wounds were a little terrifying with coagulated blood clots.

"Your hands ......." Qin Yunuan looked down at Leng Changxi's palm, and stopped talking.

"Minor injuries." Leng Changxi opened his mouth and replied, although he said this, his heart suddenly warmed, after all, she was caring about him.

Qin Yunuan sighed slightly, and watched the black-clothed people who were going back and forth to deal with the aftermath gradually disperse, and his acupuncture points had been unlocked, before he spoke: "He's dead?" It is intended to refer to Zhao Huijin.

"Well," Leng Changxi nodded, "It's dead." ”

"So, General Leng's trick is also over?" Qin Yunuan's voice was slightly cold.

Leng Changxi didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, the moonlight was hazy like a cloud veil on her face, she looked so crystal clear, making people feel that speaking was a blasphemy of this beauty.

The surroundings were quiet, there seemed to be only the sound of the two of them breathing, Qin Yunuan took a step back, and took out a somewhat old jade pendant from her arms, this jade pendant, she just placed it in the position of her heart, so even if Zhao Huijin stabbed it just now, it couldn't hurt her.

"Actually, General Leng didn't have to save me just now." Qin Yunuan spread out his palm, revealing the jade pendant in his hand.

Leng Changxi's expression darkened, as if he had already anticipated what Qin Yunuan would say next.

Qin Yunuan slowly raised his eyes and looked at Leng Changxi's mask with golden silk threads: "All along, you have helped me too much, whether it is when you are Su Chenghai or when Leng Changxi is there." ”

Leng Changxi was slightly stunned, his eyes gradually lowered, he didn't speak, and his expression didn't change at all, but his eyes were still firm, there was no weakness in his heart, everything he did never wanted to hide from her, he looked at her, like appreciating a work of art that was extremely smart.

Qin Yunuan opened his mouth and said: "The general may never want to hide it from me, I remember the first gift that Cousin Su sent when he came to the Qin family, the silk of the Eastern Qin, the collection of books of the White Horse Academy, the general happens to be in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Qin Dynasty and the repair of the White Horse Academy, it is very easy to get these things, and the rise of Qifeng on the first floor of the world, it is easy to get the seal of the Yuan family's shop and the new wedding dress of the Yuman embroidery village, all of this is self-evident for Cousin Su, a person who has just come to the capital to do business, but for the general, it is very easy." ”

Leng Changxi turned his face sideways, and the silver moonlight seemed to coat his face with a layer of silver: "Go on." He spoke.

"The first time I made up my mind to doubt the general, it was that fire, and it was also the first time Li Mengming saw the general," Qin Yunuan looked into the distance, as if recalling that memory, "Li Mingming's eyes were so affectionate, surprised, surprised, and ecstatic, but the general's eyes were always faint, and he didn't even give her a glance, even if a ruthless and unrighteous person saw someone he hadn't seen for many years, he would react a little, the only explanation was that you didn't know her at all, General." ”

The corners of Leng Changxi's mouth rose slightly, but he still didn't speak.

"The final determination is that the general appeared in Sheshan that day to save me, and before parting with my cousin, I specially sent a sachet to him, which contained my special spices, although the smell is light, but unique, very special, and only need to wear it on the body for three days, the smell can linger for more than ten days, when the general approached that day, I smelled the smell, very clear, very clear, from the moment I opened my eyes, I can be sure that my cousin Su is never true, it is a good trick played by the general."

After listening to this, Leng Changxi finally turned around, and his voice was gentle like the most beautiful love words: "Tricks are used to trick people, my purpose is not to trick." "He has always wanted to protect her, even if he was only entrusted by Zizhan from the beginning, but later, he protected her completely out of his heart, just like protecting a treasure that was not easy to find.

"Is it to lure Zhao Huijin out?" Qin Yunuan looked straight at Leng Changxi, "General, you have never had a weakness, so you deliberately cared about a person, created an unwarranted weakness, and lured Zhao Huijin to take the bait?" ”

Qin Yunuan subconsciously didn't believe it, but she still asked this worst guess, it wasn't that Qin Yunuan didn't want to let go and believe Leng Changxi, but the perennial struggle in the house made her not know how to trust someone, an outsider, a person who had deceived her recently.

Her life was indeed threatened, this is an indisputable fact, whether it was in the small hut or in the moment of life and death just now, Qin Yunuan stretched out her hand and suddenly reached into Leng Changxi's mask that had never been taken off, but her fingers suddenly froze halfway through, and she muttered "Let me see your face" before continuing forward.

The ghost made the gods, this cold-faced general who had always hated others touching his mask the most did not move, he let Qin Yunuan's little hand grope at the knot of his mask, and the feeling was like a kitten's paw gently tickling.

Although the memory is not so clear, the appearance of Su Chenghai who appeared in Qin Yunuan's life has not changed much from ten years ago, otherwise even Dou Qing'e, Qin Yun's makeup and even Qin Zhen would not have noticed the cattiness in it, originally Qin Yunuan was thinking, there must be something like a human skin mask on this river and lake.

But when she loosened the tight rope of Leng Changxi's mask, the mask slipped off Leng Changxi's face......
