She took off the pillowcase, soaked it with the water from the teapot on the table, and then set fire to the wooden board of the rear window, covering her nose with the wet pillowcase, and hid by the door to do something.

The wooden planks were dry and burned quickly, and the inside of the house was fine, because after the windows burned first, some of the smoke had already dispersed outside, Zhuo Ruoning estimated that the people guarding the door should not react so quickly, and the people downstairs would take action first when they saw the fire.

Sure enough, soon someone shouted below, and there were two "bang" sounds outside the door, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. A dark shadow pushed the door and flashed in, first seeing the back window on fire, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to find Zhuo Ruoning squatting behind the door.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and the man was wearing a night coat, with a black cloth covering his head and face, and only a pair of eyes were left to seduce the soul.

"Let's go!" The masked man only hesitated for a moment as he looked at the flames, and lifted Zhuo Ruoning from the ground.

Zhuo Ruoning stretched out his hand to pull him, and when he went out, he saw two men lying on the ground, one left and one right.

"Xu Jinchen!" Zhuo Ruoning shouted in a low voice.

Xu Jinchen was startled, looked back at her, his eyes were full of surprise, and at this time, there was a commotion at the staircase, it should be the firefighter.

Xu Jinchen turned his feet and pushed her. Entering a room at the end of the hallway, he dodges in and closes the door.

There was no light in the room, there was constant shouting outside, but the room was surprisingly quiet, Zhuo Ruoning was next to him, sticking to the door to listen to the movement, the two faced each other, one tall and one short, close to each other, and they could hear each other's slight breathing in the dark.

"You've saved me for the third time." Zhuo Ruoning whispered.

"How did you recognize me?" Xu Jinchen's voice was cold.

"I know your eyes, and you have a scent on you, and your family lives by the lotus pool?"

Xu Jinchen was silent and did not speak.

Zhuo Ruoning came closer, almost leaned into his arms, tilted his head and asked, "Are you thinking about whether to kill me or not?" ”

The breath exhales on the face, wet. Hot and sweet, itchy and numb, Xu Jinchen frowned uncomfortably, pinched her chin mercilessly, and pushed her face farther away.

"Since you know that I will kill people, aren't you afraid of death?"

"You've saved me three times, and I can only bear to kill me, and there's not a saying that it's also romantic to die under the peony flower."

What a mess, Xu Jinchen suspected that this girl had something wrong with her brain.

"Why did you just use the ......?"

Suddenly there was an explosion, and the floor under his feet shook, and those who put out the fire realized the danger and ran downstairs with a shout.

Xu Jinchen turned around and walked to the back window, pushed open the window and took a look, just wanted to call her over, but when he turned around, he saw that she was already behind him, blinking and waiting for him to give orders.

didn't have time to think about it, Xu Jinchen put his arm around her waist and jumped down from the window.

Downstairs is the Qinhuai River! Zhuo Ruoning exclaimed in a low voice, and found that she had not fallen into the water, Xu Jinchen took her to land gently on the roof of a painting boat like a swallow, and the painting boat only shook slightly.

The guests in the boat were all watching the fire fighting at the Fullerhouse from the bow of the boat, and they did not notice this movement.

Xu Jinchen put his arm around Zhuo Ruoning, looked around, and saw that there was a small boat tied to the back of the painting boat, so he jumped into the small boat with her. I saw that his hand was up and down, the white light flashed, the rope that tied the boat was broken, and his palm slapped on the side of the painting boat, and the boat flew out like an arrow from the string, leaving the screams on the painting boat far behind.

Caught off guard, Zhuo Ruoning was also caught off guard, before she could stand firmly, the boat flew out, and she crashed into Xu Jinchen's arms by inertia.

"Miss Zhuo, you can let go!"

"I'm dizzy and want to throw up." Zhuo Ruoning's cat-like voice came out.

Xu Jinchen let go of her and quickly took a step back.

Zhuo Ruoning lost her support, shook like a floating aquatic weed, and fell into the water softly......

"Miss Zhuo, wake up!"

Zhuo Ruo choked on a mouthful of water, woke up slowly, and opened his eyes to see Xu Jinchen with water droplets on his face, half-kneeling beside her.

"You push me."

Xu Jinchen breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't push you, you fell by yourself." ”

He took off his soaked night coat and revealed the robe inside, although his hair and clothes were wet, it did not affect his handsomeness.

When the boat docked, the wharf was full of fishing boats and painting boats, Xu Jinchen helped Ruoning ashore and took her to a closed merchant house on the street to change into clean clothes.

"Are you going to hand me over to the county lord of Jiangdu?"

Xu Jinchen was stunned for a moment, and his eyelids stared down at her: "Did you hear everything?" ”

Zhuo Ruoning puffed out his face and glared at him angrily: "It turns out that you are in the same group as them!" ”

The knife in Xu Jinchen's hand was raised, revealing a snow-white blade, and the cold light flashed in the moonlight.

"If you want to live, you have to know what to say and what not to say." His face was horribly cold.

After saying that, he turned around to leave, Zhuo Ruoning chased after him again: "Where are you going?" ”

"You wait downstairs at Fullerhouse, you should see someone you know."

Zhuo Ruo's mind was racing, and a conjecture suddenly popped up.

"The county lord of Jiangdu asked you to stun me and lock me up in Fuller House, so that Geng Kan could see me making a fool of myself?"

Fuller House is a government-run brothel, and it is the largest Fengyue place in Nanjing, and the county lord of Jiangdu wants to use this way to destroy her marriage contract with Geng Kan, which is too limitless.

Xu Jinchen was secretly surprised by the swiftness of her reaction and did not answer.

"You are a subordinate of the Jiangdu County Lord?"

"Why do you follow her orders?"

"Why do you listen to her openly and save me behind your back?"

"Do you think she's gone too far?"

Balabala......

Xu Jinchen suddenly stood on his feet, and Zhuo Ruoning, who was following closely behind, hit his head on his back.

"Can you walk properly?" Xu Jinchen said angrily.

"Oh, why are you ......"

Her voice was soft, lacking in breath, and a series of questions were thrown out, like a clingy little milk cat meowing non-stop.

Xu Jinchen couldn't help her: "Only answer one question." ”

"Are you pursuing the Jiangdu County Lord?"

Xu Jinchen choked: "Change the question." ”

"Do you like the county lord of Jiangdu?"

Xu Jinchen stopped, his cold eyebrows and eyes were dyed with violence, but when he saw Zhuo Ruoning blinking his big eyes and looking harmless to humans and animals, he couldn't get angry, "What do you care about this?" ”

Zhuo Ruoning: "I'm curious. And you said to answer me a question, but instead of answering, you asked me a question. ”

Xu Jinchen had never seen such a difficult little lady as her, and said, "You can't ask this question." ”

Zhuo Ruoning: "Why can't you ask?" The county lord of Jiangdu obviously likes Geng Kan, in order to force me to divorce Geng Kan, he has harmed me many times, you know her intentions, and you still help the abuse, and I don't know what to think. ”

Xu Jinchen walked forward expressionlessly, his voice was sad and joyless: "She is the county lord, I am a guard, what's wrong with following her orders?" ”

Zhuo Ruoning: "So you just do your job, you don't like her, and you don't agree with her approach?" ”

Xu Jinchen: "Whatever you think." ”

Zhuo Ruo was stunned, and his heart was happy.
