Chu Zifeng snickered at Xiao Mei's expression. He remembered that she said that she liked Chu Yu, and if she knew that he had taken someone to rob Chu Yuniang's tomb, she would not have even paid attention to him, let alone found it in person, and she was so kind.

He asked tentatively: "Xiao Mei'er, where did you know that I met bandits?"

"You don't care about that, just answer yes or no."

"There is such a thing, a few days ago I was kidnapped by the dog official in Qiushui County and taken to the Yamen, and finally came out, who knew that I fell into the hands of a group of bandits as soon as I returned to Yun County."

Mei Xiaoren shook Chu Zifeng's eye knife, and had to ask calmly: "What about later?"

"Later, I gave them everything of value, including this lock." Chu Zifeng paused and continued, "When they saw that I really couldn't take out much silver, they let me go. ”

Mei Xiaoren was looking at the sunset in the sky through the shabby roof, and as soon as Chu Zifeng's voice fell, she moved her eyes and looked at Chu Zifeng's eyes, "You don't have any silver on you, why don't you go home"

"I" Chu Zifeng said. Although Xiao Mei doesn't want to see him, she should understand his temperament, know that he can't live without money, if he has no money, he will definitely go back to the old man to ask for it.

He had to think of something else to prevaricate.

"Aren't I afraid of my father" Chu Zifeng slapped his hands on his thighs and sighed, "Besides, my Chu family is a prestigious family, and the young master was kidnapped by bandits, if this matter spreads, where will I still have the face to face the villagers, it is better to avoid the limelight outside." ”

Mei Xiaoren poured herself a glass of cold water, but she didn't rush to drink it, and the corners of her lips pulled slightly. Just the side face looming under the veil fascinated Chu Zifeng.

"Little Mei'er" Chu Zifeng slowly stretched out his hand towards the soft wattle she was holding the cup, almost wanting to make a bold move.

"Since you're afraid of losing face, then why do you want to tell me" Mei Xiaoren turned his eyes to look at Chu Zifeng and asked with interest.

He said that he was afraid of losing face so he hid outside and didn't dare to go back, but he was always more afraid of losing face in front of her than losing face in front of the villagers, how could he easily confide in her.

Chu Zifeng's hand stopped less than three inches away from her hand, and she withdrew it and wiped her face, looking remorseful. This is the Xiao Mei he knows, Xiao Nizi is shrewd when she is a child, where is his brain

"Who are you?"

There was an exclamation from outside the door, Chu Zifeng was suddenly panicked, he didn't even care about what to say to Mei Xiaoren, he turned back to the bed, threw all the face behind him, squatted down and drilled under the bed.

Mei Xiaoren was confused by Chu Zifeng's actions, but she wanted to know more about what was going on outside than asking Chu Zifeng.

She got up and walked to the door, and the moment she opened it, a silver light flashed in her eyes, and it was a sword unsheathed in front of her.

Mei Xiaoren's hands were still holding on to the two doors, but his heart was clenched inadvertently.

He Si had long since disappeared, and at this time there were five men in Xuanyi standing outside the door, they were standing in a row with long swords in their hands, without the slightest expression on their faces, or this kind of expression was enough to describe it as cold-blooded and fierce.

Their eyes were fixed on her, but the man stood still, slow to make the next move. Mei Xiaoren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, explaining that they shouldn't have come at her, and they wouldn't kill innocents indiscriminately.

"Who are you?"

No one answered, only one person opened his mouth coldly, asking: "Where is Chu Zifeng?"

Mei Xiaoren glanced back. no wonder

Chu Zifeng was frightened when he heard the movement, it seemed that he had already known that these people were coming to him, and the people who came were not good. They are the ones he's hiding outside these days.

She was still standing in front of the door, and asked Xuanyi again: "You have something to do with Chu Zifeng"

The man still didn't answer, but said, "Get out of the way."

Mei Xiaoren turned a deaf ear, lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Your lords came from afar to kill a Chu Zifeng."

"You know who we are"

Mei Xiaoren was extremely calm: "The little woman is not talented, and she has heard of the hidden platform." "With such a well-trained and murderous aura, all she could think of was them.

"Since you know, you won't hand over Chu Zifeng yet."

"How did he offend your lords," Mei Xiaoren frowned.

"That's not what a girl should ask."

"And those bandits"

As soon as she said this, there was a slight surprise in the eyes of those people, as if they didn't expect her to know, after all, they killed people without knowing it.

After Mei Xiaoren finished speaking, she was also afraid for a while, but she was still struggling to verify whether the murder was committed by people from Yinyuetai, and now these people were in front of her, and she took risks to verify it.

"Little Mei'er, you know them" Chu Zifeng came out from under the bed at some point, and timidly hid behind Mei Xiaoren. The house was so big, he couldn't tell where he could hide, and maybe he could take advantage of the chaos to make a living.

Mei Xiaoren stared at Chu Zifeng, lowered his voice and asked, "How did you offend the people of the imperial court?"

"They are from the imperial court," Chu Zifeng was stunned. He thought about it for a while, and quickly thought of the reason, these people were either sent by Chu Yu or the dog official in Qiushui County.

Of course, he couldn't tell Xiao Mei about the tomb robbery, so he had to attribute the reason to another. He held Mei Xiaoren's arm and said, "It must be that dog official in Qiushui County, he wants to rob me of Xiao Mei'er, so he sent these people to chase me all the way."

"What nonsense" Mei Xiaoren scolded with a side eye, and when she looked back, the sword light flashed in front of her, and two fast swords were already coming towards her, and the target was the person behind her.

Mei Xiaoren has never encountered such a scene, and he said that he was not afraid that it would be fake. She was full of fear, but her father's request also came to her mind in an instant.

She has to ensure that Chu Zifeng does not die.

The sword was already approaching her, and she somehow got the courage to stand in front of the door and not give an inch.

"Little Meier"

Chu Zifeng's exclamation sounded in her ears, Mei Xiaoren was already in a trance of fright, and it took a long time to come back to her senses and find that the sword had stopped in front of her, but the tip of the sword was still pointing directly at her.

"We were ordered to take Chu Zifeng's life, and it has nothing to do with the girl."

Mei Xiaoren's heart was beating fast, if she let it, Chu Zifeng would definitely die today.

She stood in front of the door and didn't move, and they didn't move, which is not like what Ei said, they will kill innocents indiscriminately.

The sharp sword was right in front of her, and Mei Xiaoren's heart gradually calmed down, and she continued to stalemate with them. It wasn't long before the sword was out of front of her, and they withdrew it.

She thought the adults had given up, but they were standing upright with their swords in their sheaths because of the sound of footsteps outside the bamboo forest.

Mei Xiaoren looked straight ahead, and saw a cloak waving among the green bamboos in the breeze, and the people who came were also dressed in dark clothes, but their steps carried a chill that was more pressing than the sword qi. He is approaching step by step, and he can make heaven and earth kill.
