"Ning'er, remember what the fourth brother said."

"Fourth brother?"

When Shiqian woke up, the voice in the dream was still echoing in her ears, so she didn't notice the three people standing not far away, slowly got up from the ground, and involuntarily raised her head to look at the night sky, with a hint of wonder in her eyes.

"It's really strange tonight, in this usually uninhabited forest, I actually met two acquaintances at the same time." Situ Shaoqi had already turned around and looked in the direction of Feng Yumo, and the moonlight was just sprinkled through the gap in the branches at the corners of his slightly raised mouth, giving people a strange and cold feeling. The moment he saw Situ Yanyu yesterday, he confirmed one thing that had puzzled him since Situ Youning fell off the cliff, which was why he was still staying in Wu County.

Situ Shaoqi's words made Huo Xiuying's vest chill instantly, she quickly kept swinging her hand, and her head also shook, but the direction was completely opposite to the direction of her hand, and at the same time explained incoherently, "I'm not..." I told you I was chasing the flower thief... There's no particular purpose... And where this bird doesn't poop... How could I possibly come here with a purpose..." Speaking of this, she finally realized the stiff and helpless expressions of the other two, lowered her head and did not say any more.

At this time, Shi Qian and the masked man also focused their attention on Huo Xiuying.

"Hehe..." Situ Shaoqi's laughter broke the awkward atmosphere among everyone, "I didn't expect the eldest lady of the Huo family to be so eloquent."

"Of course it's a good thing to be able to speak, but Miss Huo's eloquence doesn't seem to be very compatible with the Huo family's business." Feng Yumo also watched from the sidelines and teased.

This should be the first time Huo Xiuying has seen Situ Shaoqi and Feng Yumo have such a tacit understanding, even if the conversation between the two just now is a fool, it can be heard that it is sarcasm and ridicule of herself, if it is placed in normal times, the irascible Huo Xiuying will definitely fight back without scruples, but today at the moment of speaking, Huo Xiuying was completely frightened by her stupidity, and there was no reason to fight back.

Next, Situ Shaoqi and Feng Yumo once again cooperated tacitly, and they both looked at Huo Xiuying silently, waiting for her counterattack, while Shi Qian and the masked man looked back and forth at the three of them as if they were watching a play.

Huo Xiuying's two black eyes like grapes turned smartly from side to side in the dark night, as if she was looking for something aimlessly, and finally looked at the masked man who was close to the tree trunk with anger, so frightened that the man shrank up and accidentally hit his head on the tree trunk, and before he could recover from the pain in his forehead, the water tank-sized wood that Huo Xiuying had already held in his arms had fallen heavily on him.

Huo Xiuying's move frightened Shi Qian to move some distance in the direction where the three of them were, and the veil on her face was also scraped off by the bushes, just when she lowered her head in a panic and quickly put the veil back on and raised her head to confirm the faces of the three people, she was relieved to find that the attention of the three was not on her.

Since she woke up with an amnesiac head three years ago, Huangpu Yexu ordered her not to take off the veil, in Shiqian's impression, although she is a maid of Huangpu Mansion, but Huangpu Yexu has never really ordered her in addition to the veil, especially after Ni Xiaokun's birthday banquet, Huangpu Yexu especially emphasized this matter to her again, although I don't know why Huangpu Yexu did this, but Shiqian still believes that he will not hurt herself, I don't know how this sense of peace of mind came about, And Shi Qian also understood one thing from Huangpu Ye Xu's emphasis, that is, her life experience is likely to be related to the Ni family, the Situ family and the Huo family.

"This brother should be fine, right?" Situ Shaoqi leaned forward slightly with a smile and asked.

The man in black looked innocently at the bloodstains in his palms, and he had no time to care about Situ Shaoqi's false concern, which could be easily discerned.

"If I'm not mistaken, this girl should be the maid of Young Master Huangpu, right?" Feng Yumo asked lightly, and for the first time set his eyes on Shi Qian's body.

But Shi Qian's eyes had been on Feng Yumo's body from the beginning, and when Feng Yumo turned her head to her side with a smile, she lowered her head nervously.

Feng Yumo didn't care too much about Shi Qian, and then looked at the man in black, a trace of coolness suddenly flashed in his eyes, and at this time, the masked man also miraculously stopped his trembling body, frowning and staring at Feng Yumo.

After the two looked at each other for a short time, Feng Yumo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "This brother in the dark is not small, he dares to steal the person who is Huangpu Ye Xu, haven't you heard of the 'purgatory' of Young Master Huangpu?" ”

As soon as these words came out, all four of them changed their faces, and the atmosphere began to stiffen.

"In short, this flower thief won't trouble the two distinguished guests of Wu County, so I will take her back and hand her over to the government." Huo Xiuying's words broke the deadlock between several people.

Situ Shaoqi's eyes lightly scanned Shi Qian's direction, and then he looked at Huo Xiuying, who was sulking with her hair down, walked behind her with a smile, and whispered in her ear, "It turns out that my future brother and sister didn't come here to find my fourth brother." He shook his head with regret on his face.

After Huo Xiuying heard this, she stiffened for a moment and was at a loss for what to do, "Please forgive the little woman for not understanding what Situ Gongzi meant." After speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the masked man.

"Since Miss Huo said that we are honored guests, then our Situ Shaoqi has something I want to ask the master here."

Feng Yumo may have guessed what Situ Shaoqi was going to ask, and this was also what he wanted to ask, and it was also one of the reasons why Liu Che came to this place in person, but Liu Che never mentioned it in front of Feng Yumo, and he didn't plan to let Feng Yumo know.

"What... What's up? ”

Situ Shaoqi turned his head to look at the silent mountain forest, and finally stopped his gaze on a stone tablet not far away, while at the same time, Huo Xiuying also looked at the stone tablet intentionally almost at the same time.

"This stele looks a little old." Situ Shaoqi said that he had walked in front of the stele, and gently raised his hand to brush off the dust on the stele as he spoke, "I heard that many years ago, there was a terrible figure who disappeared out of thin air here surrounded by heavy soldiers of the imperial court, and then the imperial court turned it all over here, and even did not hesitate to dig three feet into the ground, but did not find the figure of those people, I don't know if Miss Huo has heard of this rumor?" ”

Facing the questioning eyes of Feng Yumo and Situ Shaoqi, Huo Xiuying avoided their gaze, ignored them, and quietly walked to the side of the man in black, this time she gently helped the man up, leaving a sentence of 'I haven't heard of', and disappeared into the forest in a blink of an eye.

"I really didn't think you'd get involved in this."

"How could King Ji ask such a question? You and I are both ministers of the court, do you think I shouldn't meddle in this matter? As he spoke, his eyes became sharp, "Have you been confused by the warm family and groups of wives and concubines in the past three years?" ”

Feng Yumo looked at Situ Shaoqi expressionlessly, did not open his mouth to answer his question, and finally turned to look at Shi Qian, who had her head down, and a masked secret guard appeared in front of him.

"Send this girl back to Huangpu Mansion." After coldly leaving this sentence, he left in a hurry, I don't know why, the moment Huo Xiuying disappeared, his heart began to panic and become anxious, and now Feng Yumo only wanted to return to Ni Mansion as soon as possible.

After watching Feng Yumo leave, Shi Qian was a little lost and let the dark guard support her, stood up, Situ Shaoqi clenched his fists, glanced at Shi Qian who was standing with his back to him, and disappeared into the woods.

"What's going on?" Ni Xiaokun looked at the blood stains on the ground, walked up to the old man angrily, and grabbed his collar.

The old man just let him tear, his eyes were dull and there was no reaction, Ni Xiaokun had no choice but to open the secret passage and walk in cautiously.
