Jiang Tingxue pursed her lips, the curvature of the corners of her lips faded a little, her expression was a little helpless, and she said jokingly: "It's just that I thought of my cousin of the vinegar jar, and he was jealous of me." ”

"For your sister?" Gu Minluo swallowed the bit of food in his mouth and asked casually.

Jiang Tingxue nodded happily: "Hmm." ”

"I think your sister is lucky to be so favored by you. That night in the woods, I saw from afar that you were already too busy to take care of yourself, but you still frequently blocked the sword for her. When I arrived, it was too late. That night, Gu Minluo was just a spectator of the fierce battle, and he was just standing by, but later after the fight, he showed up to save Jiang Tingxue, and then the two were alone for more than 20 days.

A trace of amazement flashed in Jiang Tingxue's eyes, and she sighed lightly: "I am the only daughter in the family, and I have been alone since I was a child, and that kind of loneliness is something that ordinary people can't understand." I've always wanted to have a sister I can protect, and I have someone to protect, and that's really a wonderful feeling, and my heart is happy. Later, I met Xiao Xiao, and she suffered a lot. The two of us had a great conversation, and we fell in love with each other, and soon became sisters. She had a home to rely on, and I felt less lonely because of it. ”

"I've never heard the girl talk about that. It's not good to mention these for no reason, which makes the girl feel sad in vain. Gu Minluo was still a little happy in his heart, Jiang Tingxue was able to say these sincere things in front of him, which showed that he had regarded him as a friend, not a separate life-saving benefactor. People who grew up in his environment are not lonely in their hearts, they are used to seeing fights and killings, and they grow up with endless killing and blood, in their eyes, killing is just a common thing. However, who knows, they sometimes envy the lives of ordinary people, hoping to alleviate their spiritual loneliness.

Jiang Tingxue smiled and shook his head slowly: "This is none of Childe's business, Childe doesn't need to blame himself." Don't talk patronizingly, it's better to eat first, you're going to be hungry. ”

After the meal, the two went out of the store, and when they parted, Jiang Tingxue once again sincerely invited Gu Minluo to go to Jiang Mansion with her to meet her father, who was in a hurry to thank her.

"Thank you for the kindness of the girl, next time I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit Ling Zun, but this time the time is too unlucky, there are still some things to deal with at hand, and I will leave Qiantang early tomorrow morning." Please forgive me. Gu Minluo waved his hand, showing a slightly regretful look at this, and politely excused himself. The task given to him by Kong Bozhi has been delayed for more than ten days, and it cannot be consumed any longer, and it is afraid that things will change. He didn't know who revealed the news, but the Lu Mansion learned about the mastermind behind these murders, and now all the sects in the rivers and lakes have known that these are the actions of Fei Che Cliff, and they have all strengthened their own precautions, so their plans have been somewhat hindered.

Jiang Tingxue heard Gu Minluo say this, and he didn't force it, after all, the business was important. But she can't just treat her benefactor hastily, she will be somewhat unhappy in her heart. Thoughts wandered through her mind, and she frowned slightly: "Okay then." I wonder what time Childe will leave tomorrow morning? I'll send off my son. ”

"There's Miss Law. Tomorrow at two o'clock, I was waiting for the girl in the store just now, the sweet bean curd tasted really good, and I wanted to eat it again before leaving. With a faint smile in his eyes, Gu Minluo nodded and happily accepted Jiang Tingxue's kindness, and then turned around in a dashing manner, feeling so happy for a long time.

The man did not dare to disobey the task that Gu Minluo gave to his subordinates, and although the possessions appealed to them, money was far less important than life. If this mission is ruined for the sake of these money, then Kong Bozhi will definitely not let them go, which is more important, they know it in their hearts. In the dead of night, they went into action.

As a result of the robbery during the day, the defense of the castle guard was strengthened a lot. The house gate was brightly lit, and the guards patrolled in formations, and it was really impossible to return these belongings unknowingly under such circumstances. The group hid in the dark on the corner of the street with a large wooden box and observed for a long time, but they were unable to move. It's not okay to go through the main gate, and I'm afraid it's even worse to break through the wall, they have already checked the situation in the house in advance, and the patrol team has been in waves, and they haven't given them a chance to attack at all.

Since it will not be easy to return it through their hands, why not borrow someone else's hand. The acolyte of Gu Minluo's staple had a plan, and whispered to the little minions: "Don't act rashly, watch over here, and come as soon as I go." ”

The man had crossed two streets, and faintly heard the sound of a bang, and in the cold moonlight, he hurried away in the direction from which the sound had come from, and in a moment he saw the man who was going to be a gunman.

He followed Bongfu's footsteps not far away, and finally walked quickly near a corner leading to the dark alley, and pulled Bongfu's back collar into the dark alley hard, and pressed Bongfu's entire body between the walls. The long sword was unsheathed, and the cold light full of clear light flashed quickly in front of Bangfu's eyes. Before the man could react, he felt that he was being lowered by a cold sharp object on his neck, and he was so frightened that he couldn't make a sound, and the bang in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, which seemed a little abrupt in the quiet silence.

"If you want to live, do what I say." The man lowered his voice, his mouth full of menace, without a hint of warmth.

Bangfu was almost frightened at this moment, his legs trembled, and he wanted to nod but was afraid of being accidentally injured by the sword on his neck, so he had to blink his eyes full of fear violently. Now, as long as he can save his life, the masked man in front of him can't do what he says, how can he have room to resist, so he can only follow the masked man all the way to the dark place where the boxes of belongings are temporarily kept.

The man grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out of the wall, pointed to the castle guard not far away, where the lights were flickering, and ordered, "Go, report to those people, and let them come and get the box." ”

Bang Fu's legs were a little disobedient, and he went hard. The cronies looked at the trembling and messy back in the darkness and was about to arrive at the door of the mansion, and waved at a few little minions, and one by one the black shadows jumped onto the roof. When Bangfu returned with the group of guards from the city guard's mansion, there was no trace of anyone on the ground except for the big wooden boxes.

This could not be investigated, and Bangfu naturally became the focus of their interrogation, and was taken into a prison cell, waiting for Ming Yen Wenling to personally interrogate the ins and outs of the matter.

At this time, Yuan Wenling had just fallen asleep after dealing with government affairs, and before he could close his eyes, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.

"Enter!" Yuan Wenling got up and walked out of the tent, and casually draped a shirt on his body. Hearing this knock on the door, he understood that there must be something urgent, but he just hoped that this matter would not be caused by Yanling Zang again. That big Buddha, he was afraid.

"My lord, the looted property was found this morning." The door was pushed open, and before anyone came in, a somewhat excited voice first came into Yuan Wenling's ears.

When Yuan Wenling heard this, he suddenly raised his eyes, looked at the person standing at the door in surprise, and asked, "What?" Where? Have the robbers ever caught? ”

"In the dark alley around the corner of the street, it looks like someone sent it back on purpose, and the contents of the box are not lacking. The subordinates only caught a suspicious man, claiming that a masked man had asked him to report the news. When we arrived, it was empty. The attendant told the truth, and he was also full of doubts, this hard-working thing was robbed, and the good one was sent back, which was really incomprehensible.

Yuan Wenling's face returned to normal, nodded slightly, raised his hand to tuck the corner of his clothes, and asked, "What about Mrs. Bang?" ”

"When his subordinates saw that it was getting late today, they took it upon themselves to order someone to put him in a cell and wait for his interrogation tomorrow." The attendant lowered his eyes and didn't look at Yuan Wenling's face, for fear that he would handle it inappropriately.

"It's fine. Put those things back in the storeroom. You go first. Yuan Wenling beckoned slightly, but in an instant, he thought of something, and then raised his head and called the attendant who was about to close the door, "Don't make a noise about this matter first, the less people know about it, the better, just let it go back quietly." Especially don't tell the four princes about it yet. ”

"My subordinates understand." The voice fell with the sound of the door shut, and the room was silent, with a few oil lamps jumping in the wind that crept through the cracks in the windows. Yuan Wenling stood silently for a while, as if he had figured it out, chuckled and shook his head, took off his clothes, and went back to sleep on the couch.

After a sumptuous breakfast, Jiang Tingxue rode a horse and followed Gu Minluo out of the city, and walked to a grassy stream, where the sound of horses' hooves was finally hidden in the murmuring of the stream.

The green willows on the shore were beautiful, Jiang Tingxue dismounted, put the reins under the shade of the willows, and turned around to see Gu Minluo standing not far away and looking at her leisurely, the cool breeze was blowing, the light hair was flying on his shoulders, and beside him was the stream illuminated by the morning sun.

Jiang Tingxue raised her hand and brushed the wind-blown hair in front of her forehead, slowly took two steps forward, hesitated in her heart, and said astringently: "Son, can you return to Qiantang when you leave?" She knew it was easy to get people wrong when she asked something like that. But she didn't mean anything else, she just felt that the hospitality was not good, so she asked.

"Back." Gu Minluo nodded and only gave a one-word answer, but he was extremely serious. After a pause, he turned the topic to Jiang Tingxue, and said lightly: "I sent someone to check on that man, and I heard that he is a powerful person with a very high status in the Central Plains Kingdom. Greedy for women, there are already a group of concubines in the house, but none of the women who fall in love can escape. ”

"Childe is worried that he won't give up this time? Will you force it again? Jiang Tingxue lowered her gaze softly on his face, with a slight inquiry in her eyes.

The soft wind blew across Jiang Tingxue's face, and she inadvertently trembled her eyes like butterfly wings. This moment of confusion completely fell on Gu Minluo's eyes, and a trace of wind seemed to blow in his heart, cool and very comfortable. He nodded slightly: "It's not that I'm worried, but he will definitely do it." ”
