"As long as the assassination had nothing to do with him, I'm relieved." Yan Linglast looked at the rain curtain outside the door, his eyes were a little dim, and he sighed.

He should be glad that although his seventh brother is jealous of him, he will not kill him after all, which is also the best result. But for some reason, he still couldn't be relieved in his heart, just because this fact made him a little difficult to accept, as a close relative, but to be suspicious of each other, it shouldn't be like this?

He didn't know what kind of magic that seat had, so that they could be so eager to do so, and they couldn't even do without family affection. And that assassination, what was the conspiracy behind it, and whether it was related to that position, now he was even a little afraid to know the truth. Regardless of which of their brothers had done it, the heavy truth was a sting to him.

Now he hoped that the intention of that assassination was like last night, it was all towards Zhongli, and in this way, he would feel better. Of course, he didn't want Zhong Liyuan to have an accident, thinking like this was just a comfort, a relief for himself.

Hearing Yan Linglast say this, the three of them all raised their eyes and glanced at him in unison, they didn't know what to say, and they lowered their eyebrows calmly. For a moment, there was silence between several people, and the tea on the desk was boiling.

After sitting for a while and quietly drinking a few teas, this atmosphere made Ling Xiao feel a little depressed, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and walked out very casually. After a series of spies and assassinations, in fact, everyone is worried about it now, but their worries are different.

For Ling Xiao, who has never experienced much family affection since she was a child, and has no brothers and sisters, she is used to being lonely, although she feels warmth here in Zhongli Mu now, family affection still seems too hazy to her. Therefore, she couldn't understand Yan Linghan's mood at the moment, and she didn't bother to understand it, her heart finally came from Zhong Limu.

At the same time, she was also worried about Zhong Limu's safety, these people could come from thousands of miles to kill her, I am afraid it would be difficult to let Zhong Limu go. Or Zhong Limu insists on pursuing last night's assassination, whether there is a result or not, he will be involved in unnecessary trouble. Of course, she didn't doubt Zhong Limu's ability, but she didn't want him to be in danger for her sake.

The rain fell into a curtain under the eaves, and Ling Xiao looked at the gray sky, his eyes were dazed. After losing her mind for a moment, she opened her oil-paper umbrella and went down the stairs, and quickly walked out of the courtyard with gentle steps. Behind her, a slightly cold figure also came out with her, not far away, not far away, along the wet stone road, the uppers of the two were slightly wet, and finally entered the Guilin one after another.

The cinnamon fragrance in the forest seemed to have been diluted a lot by the rain, and only a few shallow wisps of dark incense floated in the humid rain. Every branch and leaf was covered with raindrops, tiny petals fell all over the ground, and some of them loomed in the yellowish shallow grass.

The ground was a little muddy, and the delicate footprints snaked behind him, and before I knew it, it was deep in the forest.

The umbrella surface was densely cracked, and Ling Xiao stood strolling, his slightly wet long hair dancing lightly with his clothes. She turned around suddenly, through the white rain curtain, raised her eyes to look at the elegant figure walking slowly towards her, raised her eyebrows slightly and asked casually, "Why follow me?" ”

"Xiao Xiao's question made it a little difficult for me to answer, so I won't answer." The corners of Lu Jingxing's mouth raised a slightly helpless smile, he lowered his head shallowly, looked at the wet ground where the broken flowers were scattered, and walked along the strings of footprints on the ground, all of which were traces of Ling Xiao's stepping.

Seeing him approaching, Ling Xiao moved his gaze from his embroidered neckline to his face, stared at his moist eyes very leisurely, and asked with interest: "If the finch doesn't explain today, the third brother has to ask you to be responsible for last night's incident, what should you do?" ”

It was a sudden thought of this question, although she had the answer in her heart, but because of that bit of vanity, she still asked, she didn't feel shy, she just wanted to hear him say it himself. Of course, such vanity comes entirely from her deep affection for him, and perhaps some people only do so in front of their beloved.

Besides, after experiencing last night's incident, whether it is life experience or something else, there seems to be no secret between the two of them now, so what embarrassing questions can't be asked generously?

"Then I will marry Xiao Xiao as my nominal wife, and I don't mind staying alone for four years. Besides, the imprints have been left, does Xiao Xiao still want to repay the debt? Lu Jingxing took two steps forward, took Ling Xiao's hand, and his warm gaze fell on it, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and his words were casual and a little careless.

Hearing Lu Jingxing's mention, Ling Xiao instantly remembered what had happened in the Luo tent, and couldn't help but raise his eyes and glared at him, and a few words floated out of his mouth: "Cheeky." ”

A strand of hair blown by the wind swept across his cheeks, and when he saw Ling Xiao glaring at him, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened: "I don't mind if Xiao Xiao treats others the way he treats." ”

The rain curtain spread around the two of them, and the two of them were quiet for a moment, but Ling Xiaozhen stood on tiptoe and bit his lower lip, but the force was very light and did not leave a mark. She took a step back, her expression was as indifferent as ever, she looked at him and opened her lips: "Forget it, I don't care about you, this matter will end here." ”

Lu Jingxing no longer dwelt on this matter, and only narrowed his eyebrows in response to Ling Xiao's approach, but his expression gradually became serious when he looked at her, stretched out a hand to wrap his arms around her waist, brought her under his umbrella, pulled the conversation back to the question she had just asked, and explained again: "As you said, your woman needs to be at least twenty years old to get married, so I am willing to wait." Even if we are married now, then I am willing to wait until then. Besides, as long as you can always be by my side, I am also content, and it doesn't matter if there is that kind of intimacy or not. ”

Lu Jingxing thought that even if Ling Xiao wanted to strictly abide by his family's rules, then he was willing to obey her wishes, and he could never take that step, all he wanted was for her to be by his side forever.

"Jing Xing......" Ling Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, looking at his handsome face with a serious expression in a daze, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak for a while. How many men in the world can make such a promise to the woman they love, and give birth to such an idea for the sake of their beloved? I'm afraid not, right? Hearing such words, she was content. For her, this should be the most beautiful sweet word.

She already had an answer to the question she had in front of the mirror at this time, it turned out that his love for her was not shallower than her love for him, or even deeper. He could even restrain his physical desires for her sake, a man's nature.

Seeing that Ling Xiao's eyes were a little complicated, just looking at him blankly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm just happy." His eyes moved slightly, Ling Xiao reacted, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily escaped an elegant smile. It's not just happy, it's more moving.

Lu Jingxing swept the laurel trees in front of him that were hazy in the rain, hooked his arms, and let Ling Xiao's body lean into his arms, and his wide sleeves blocked half of the rain for her, and said, "Let's go." ”

Ling Xiao took advantage of the situation to collect the umbrella and hid under Lu Jingxing's umbrella to follow him forward. The two walked aimlessly in the rain, relatively silent, not knowing where to go.

As for the house, neither of them wanted to go back, if her third brother knew that on such a rainy day, the two were alone in the same room, but they were afraid that it would be endless. And if she went to the main house, Ling Xiao was even more unwilling, she just came out because she felt depressed.

The two just wanted to be alone quietly and couldn't go back, so they had to wander in the wind and rain. More than an hour passed after this wandering, and finally the two of them had nowhere to go, so they came to the stable, robbed the two grooms of their territory, and sat on one side of the wooden table, quietly watching the rain.

"After the thunder and lightning last night, another person was caught and his hamstring was broken." The two were silent for so long, and Lu Jingxing finally opened his mouth again, but he looked at the autumn rain outside the shed and sighed, "But it was a dead man, and when he was brought back, he was already dead." ”

"If you're dead, you're dead, and I don't have that much heart to find out who sent this person. The appearance of Yanling Last, did they attract fewer spies? If you go to investigate them one by one, it will be too tiring. The next time you catch it, kill it. Ling Xiao leaned comfortably on Lu Jingxing's shoulder, and his eyes cast into the distance lost focus.

Lu Jingxing bowed slightly, hesitated for a while, and finally told Ling Xiao the rest of the situation: "That person and that group of killers should be together, and they intercepted a carrier pigeon last night, and the content of the letter was only the words 'failed assassination'. ”

Seeing that Ling Xiao was silent after hearing this, Lu Jingxing didn't say anything more for a while. Listening to the sound of the rain and pondering for a moment, he turned his head and called her softly: "Xiaoxiao." ”

"Huh?" Ling Xiao looked up at him, a hand casually resting on his collar.

Looking at her clear eyes, she didn't know how to say the words she thought in her heart, and she was brewing again, and finally opened her mouth astringently: "Why don't I send someone to send you to your uncle's house for a while?" ”

He wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to protect her well, nor was he not confident in Lu Fu's subordinates, he was just afraid of what happened. In the face of today's situation, although he has made the precautions quite strict, he is still a little uneasy in his heart, he is afraid of losing her, he has never been so afraid of losing anything, so he does not even leave a chance to lose her.

If it was really a killer like last night, it would be easy to do, Lu Jingxing didn't care at all. However, what he was afraid of was that Ling Xiao's whereabouts were completely exposed, which alarmed those who were looking for her, and he really couldn't keep her at that time. It doesn't matter if she is Zhong Liyuan, even if she goes back, his heart will feel better, but she is not, she has nothing to do with everything in Jundu, and he can't face her departure.
