Someone fell to the ground wailing, crying and shouting things like "stop fighting, help".

Li Tong quickened his pace, cautiously poked his head out of the alley where the sound came from, and Youchun behind him also forgot about the slight conflict just now, and hugged Li Tong's arm tightly.

In the alley, a man fell to the ground, holding his head in his hands, unable to see his face clearly, but his body was stained with blood and dust so that he could not distinguish his original appearance.

There were seven or eight people around this person, punching and kicking him, mercilessly, scolding in his mouth, those dirty words made Youchun, a little girl, couldn't help but look ugly, and her arms began to work hard.

"Shirtless!" Li Tong snorted.

On the roof nearby, the woman in red rolled down, pulled out the dagger at her waist, raised her wrist, and the dagger broke through the air, and with a "ding" sound, it was firmly rooted at the feet of those people.

The noise of the commotion was silent in an instant.

"Who?!" Someone shouted.

The naked clothes fell to the ground and looked at the group of people coldly: "If you don't want to die, get out immediately." ”

"Little girl, don't be nosy."

Probably seeing that the red clothes were just a girl's house, the group of people did not show the slightest fear, but laughed and walked a few steps forward, looking up and down the red clothes with unscrupulous eyes, and the foul language came immediately after opening their mouths.

His brows furrowed, and he tilted his head to look behind him.

Li Tong didn't come out, and only said in a voice that was strong enough to hear: "Don't hurt people's lives, give a lesson, especially your mouth." ”

Hearing the command, the naked clothes kicked their feet, their wrists flipped over, and a dagger appeared between the palms of their hands, and the cold light accompanied by the red light and shadow that was like a bamboo, like lightning shuttling among the group of people, those people had already fallen to the ground before they could even realize what was happening, either holding their stomachs or covering their faces, and all parts of their bodies were cut by small daggers with wounds of varying degrees.

And the man lying on the ground completely forgot to run away, and just lay there, too frightened to move.

"Say it again, get out." Standing there in red clothes, the dagger radiating cold light wantonly on the fingertips, and the red dress was like a blooming flame, in the narrow alley, it was scorching.

Li Tong sighed "tsk", and sighed again why is he not a man?

Such a handsome and sassy sister, I love it!

"Madame, put away your exaggerated looks." There is a kind reminder of spring.

Li Tong touched his chin and made sure that no saliva was coming down, then he straightened up and walked slowly to the man who was still lying on the ground.

The facial features are not very handsome, and due to the dust and bruises and purple scars, Li Tong can't tell how old this person is, but judging from the occasional piece of normal skin, he should be a young man.

The eyes are quite big, the gaze is not clear, there is the kind of shrewdness that seems to be in the market all the year round, and there is a little wariness and fear, the body is not thin, but it is not particularly strong, probably to the kind of level that can barely be carried by Biyu.

"What's your name?"

"II...... Two tigers. ”

Li Tong raised his eyebrows, this name ...... It's really distinctive.

"Have you ever killed someone?"

Erhu shuddered, looking at the woman with a calm smile in front of him in shock, his stiff neck shook to the sides a few times, and he seemed to hear the sound of bones rubbing.

Li Tong didn't seem to think that this answer was so unexpected, and only asked again, "Why did they beat you?" ”

Erhu fell silent.

"It's okay if you don't say it, anyway, I can save you the first time, but I can't save you the second time, this time I helped you teach them a lesson, next time they will probably beat you to death even more." After Li Tong finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but the afterglow still fell on Erhu: "Look at your appearance, you should be in the market all year round, Mrs. Ben needs some people like you now, someone will look for you tonight, if you don't want to be beaten, just follow that person." ”

"Do you know where to find me?"

Erhu hurriedly tried to get up from the ground, and as soon as his injured elbow was propped up to the ground, the pain immediately swept in, Erhu's face was snow-white, and his already distorted facial features were now even more bared and grinning and unable to see people, and he looked a little mad in broad daylight.

Li Tong looked at him speechlessly, leaving him with a smile of unknown meaning.

After leaving from the small alley, Li Tong didn't go anywhere else, and went all the way back to the General's Mansion.

"Ma'am, do you know that little thug?" Youchun came over with tea and asked cautiously.

Li Tong glanced at her with a smile, took the tea bowl, pressed his red lips on the rim of the cup, and said, "Don't you know him?" ”

"How could the slave know him?"

"Didn't you hang out on the street before?"

Youchun closed his mouth, his eyes dodging, avoiding Li Tong's smiling gaze.

"You are my maid, you want to serve me closely, how can I not know your past?"

"Madam, when will you ......?"

"Soon."

Li Tong pinched a grape and stuffed it into his mouth, opened his shoulders, and leaned back on the chair: "I married into the General's Mansion alone, and the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't match me with a subordinate and a maid to marry, do you know why?" ”

Youchun didn't speak, and looked at Li Tong quietly, with turbulent waves in his eyes.

Because there was already an eyeliner in the General's Mansion for a long time.

Instead of bringing people from the Prime Minister's Mansion and making the people in the General's Mansion more vigilant, it will not have any effect, and only when Li Tong enters the Mansion alone can they relax their guard.

"I know the feather curtain is dead." Li Tong sighed: "But just because he didn't want me to know, so I pretended not to know, Yu Curtain did something like that, and if he left the General's Mansion, he couldn't live at all, Baili Ye was not a kind-hearted person, I already knew." ”

"But the general is different to you." Youchun hurriedly spoke.

Li Tong smiled: "I naturally know this, he treats me well, and I know it, so I will do it for him what he wants to do, but seeking the throne is not what he really wants, and he doesn't have that much ambition for that throne." ”

"Madame is not a general, how do you know that the general doesn't want it?"

Hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help laughing: "You are not him either, how do you know that he wants it?" ”

"Slave maid ......" Youchun had never studied, scratched his head, and didn't know where to refute Li Tong's words, and suddenly felt that what she said made sense, and felt that something was not right.

Li Tong stretched: "You see, the people around him all want him to fight for that position, and they all say in his ear how bad that person is, how much he neglects the people, and how much he retreats to the courtiers, but he doesn't know what the purpose of that person is doing this, and what he thinks in his heart, you only see the superficial things." ”

"Youchun, if you hadn't followed me to the slums today, would you also think that the one who ignored the people and only sat on his high seat to enjoy the glory and wealth?"

Youchun blushed and lowered his head, noncommittal.

"Everyone has their own choices and positions, some things are done, you don't have to say them, and some things are not done just because you don't have to."

"Alright, you go and rest, I'm a little tired."

"Then the slave maid serves you to rest?"

"No, I'll just lie here for a while."

Youchun opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing that Li Tong had slowly closed her eyes, she could only retreat quietly and wait quietly in a place where Li Tong's voice could be heard.

Chiyi didn't know when it fell behind her, the hand that had held the knife was on Youchun's shoulder, and the woman's cold face appeared in front of her, and her eyes were unfathomable.

"Don't try to figure out the master's thoughts, the general asked you to follow Madame, he wants you to listen to Madame, Madame is your master, understand?"

Youchun had a tight throat and nodded nervously.

She had no doubt that once she opened her mouth to refute, her fate would be the same as that of a feather curtain, the people around the general, no matter who they were, obeyed the general's words, and the general did not need subordinates who had special self-ideas.

After Chiyi finished saying that, his figure flashed, and he floated back not far from Li Tong, guarding quietly.

When Bai Li Ye came back from Liu Luan'er, Li Tong happened to tilt her head and sank into a dream, she was indeed a little tired, her brain activity in the past few days has been much more frequent than before, even when she was sleeping at night, she couldn't stop, even in her dreams, she was still thinking about how to make everyone get better results.

But the answer is no.

Even Youchun hoped that Bai Li Ye would be able to sit in that position, not to mention the other people around him, those so-called ministers of the humerus.

Li Tong had no doubt about his previous guess.

It's this group of people who are sowing discord.

Wu Mengquan is one, Cui Shouzhi is also one, maybe there are others, perhaps, and her father Li Xiang.

Bai Li Ye sat beside Li Tong, looking at this face that was frowning tightly even in his sleep, he reached out and touched it gently, as if he was afraid of being broken, he hurriedly retracted it.

He didn't know whether to believe what Liu Luan'er said.

Because, it's really a bit unbelievable.

But more than that, he felt that Liu Luan'er seemed to be hiding something from him, and she didn't make it clear, but he didn't want to hear it anymore.

Behind those words was the truth he feared.

It seems that as soon as she says it, there will be a gap between him and Li Tong that cannot be crossed no matter what.

"Madame......"

Bai Li Ye called softly, this volume was not enough to wake up Li Tong, he seemed to be just standing at the crossroads, not knowing which way to go to see the ending he wanted at the end.

Bai Li Ye was immersed in his own thoughts, completely unaware that the person in front of him had opened his eyes and looked at him with a pair of extremely complicated eyes, from his slightly locked eyebrows, then the high bridge of his nose, and finally landed on the thin lips with a resolute arc.

His whole face was in a state that could erupt at any time, and he suppressed it for a long time, like a volcano, as long as he found a burst point, he could immediately release a violent force that was enough to wipe out everyone around him.

But now, for some reason, he is still depressed.
