With a shake of his hand, he quickly retreated, Zhang Tong's blood was quickly dried by the wind on his hand, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his skin, he clenched his fists, took out a short knife from behind Zhang Tong, and leaned over in the grass next to him and touched the strange movement.

The mountain bandits on this mountain are not as brave and resourceless as Zhang Tong said, they have already set up an ambush, and when Murong Zheng and them arrived, they didn't know that they had been targeted by the mountain bandits.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the darkness to catch them off guard, but they found out first, Murong Zheng sent a clever brother to hurry back the same way to bring a message to the team behind, and he took the remaining brothers to find a way out.

There were not many bandits on the mountain, and soon the team behind them touched up, and the two sides turned into a Ming war, Murong Zheng held Zhang Tong's short knife in his hand, and stabbed him into the shoulder of the bandit leader and captured him.

It was only when the sky was about to dawn that this nest of mountain bandits was wiped out, and there were one or two who escaped from the back mountain, and it didn't become any climate, so there was no need to chase hard, Murong Zheng took the mountain bandit leader down and handed it over to the commander of the team, and then touched it into the mountain himself.

When the sky was bright, he found the big rock, Zhang Tong was still lying behind the stone, with the grass in his mouth, his eyes were open, and a sharp arrow pierced his heart from his back, killing him in an instant.

At that time, he was right behind Murong Zheng's side, and if it weren't for him, that arrow might have hit Murong Zheng.

He still held the short knife that Zhang Tong usually used in his hand, which was stained with the blood of the mountain bandit leader, he put the short knife on Zhang Tong's body, and then raised his hand to stroke his eyelids.

In this fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, Murong Zheng was also wounded, and after finding Zhang Tong's body and dragging it down the mountain, his eyes were black and he fainted, and the commander sent people to send all the wounded to the post station, and invited the doctor to come over and treat them with the military doctor.

When Murong Zheng woke up, he saw a figure sitting on the couch by the window of his room, slightly familiar, and when his vision gradually returned to clarity, he saw Nangong Yu, the eldest young master of the official Nangong family, sitting there.

"Why are you here?"

Nangong Yu sat here and drank tea all afternoon, bored, when he suddenly heard Murong Zheng's voice, he quickly turned his head and got up and walked to the bedside, "You finally woke up, I thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow morning, then I have to squeeze a bed with you tonight." ”

"How did you know I was here?" Only then did Murong Zheng feel that there were indeed a few injuries on his body, a burst of dull pain, the bed board under him was a little hard, and he was lying a little uncomfortable, but this was already the best condition in this station.

Nangong Yu took off his robe and sat down on the edge of the bed, "Where did you go to Commander Li's place to inquire and inquire, you also arrived, ran so far away and didn't even say hello, I thought you were still in the barracks, but I didn't expect you to come here to fight mountain bandits, you are really getting bolder." ”

"The situation is trapped, there are some things that have to be done, you just said Miss Lu, what's wrong with her?" Murong Zheng smiled bitterly, looking at Nangong Yu's fluttering appearance in gold and silver, it was really not suitable to appear in this kind of place.

Nangong Yu raised her chin and squinted at him, and snorted coldly, "I didn't see that you cared about me for a few words, so I hurriedly asked Miss Lu about it, I heard that she seemed to have gone to Shen Ji Embroidery Village to be an embroidery lady there during this time." ”

"How could she go to Shen Ji Embroidery Village? And what about her own embroidery? I hadn't heard her mention it before I left. Murong Zheng looked puzzled, Lu Linlang would not go to Shen Ji wherever he went, but the news brought by Nangong Yu should not be wrong.

Nangong Yu shook the folding fan in his hand, "How do I know this, but her original embroidery shop is not closed, I sent someone to see it, there are three girls guarding it, but they don't take business, and I don't know what she is thinking, by the way, she went to me to do me a favor before." ”

"What's the busy?" Murong Zheng originally thought that during the time he was not in the capital, Lu Linlang would definitely do her business with peace of mind, but it had only been ten days of hard work, and so many things had happened, which made him a little unbelievable.

"I'll tell you, don't tell Miss Lu, it's a trivial matter, let her know that I told you everything, and she won't come to me in the future."

"Does she come to you often?" Murong Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and then he suddenly coughed a few times, Nangong Yu hurriedly got up and went to the side to pour water for him, Murong Zheng looked at his figure, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

This feeling has often occurred since the destruction of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and the huge gap between the two identities makes him dare not believe himself many times.

Nangong Yu is the eldest young master of the Nangong family, the richest man in the capital, with a lot of money, and a good look, a mouth that can speak well, often makes other women happy, Lu Linlang is just an ordinary girl, in front of Nangong Yu, naturally he has long forgotten him.

Nangong Yu handed the water cup to Murong Zheng's hand, "Miss Lu's matter, it's actually nothing, it's just that she picked up a person's purse on the road, took it and put it in my store, and said that I would return the purse to him when I met that person." ”

"Is it a blue purse with a few bamboos on it that are about to be bald?" Speaking of purses, Murong Zheng immediately remembered the purse that fell from Lu Linlang's arms that day, Nangong Yu's eyes lit up and nodded, "How do you know?" But what about the bright color of the bamboo, where is it about to be bald? ”

What Murong Zheng saw that day was clearly a bamboo that was about to be bald, but when Nangong Yu said this, it should be Lu Linlang who embroidered the bamboo again, pursed the corners of his lips, he didn't say anything, just drank the water in the cup.

"Why don't you ask me whose purse it is?" Nangong Yu saw Murong Zheng's thoughtful look, but he didn't ask him again, and he couldn't help but say the next words.

Murong Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, "Look, do you still need me to ask?" ”

"You knew I couldn't hide my words in front of you, and if I asked more, I would die?" Nangong Yubai glanced at him, sighed, and said a little unwillingly, "Miss Lu told me that the purse belonged to Prime Minister Liu, how could there be such a coincidence in this world?" She happened to pick up a purse on the side of the road, this purse is Prime Minister Liu's, and it seems that she and Prime Minister Liu should know each other, you say, will there be something hidden from us? ”

"Nothing should be wrong with the two of them." Murong Zheng hesitated for a moment, and then said lightly.

Nangong Yu raised his eyes, "This is not accurate, no one knows Prime Minister Liu's status in the capital, how many people want to marry their daughter to him, even if it is just to be a concubine, this Lu Linlang knows him, and he appears next to you inexplicably, don't you feel strange?" ”

"What else do I have to go to such great lengths of effort now?" Murong Zheng lowered his eyes and chuckled self-deprecatingly, his handsome face was a little pale, and his thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, making him a little weaker and weaker.

Nangong Yu looked at him like this, and felt that he had said too much, frowned slightly, and his lips moved, "I'm just guessing casually, you also know that I'm just idle and have nothing to do, and I love to think about everything, don't take it to heart, maybe she really just wants to return the purse to its original owner, Miss Lu is still a very cute girl." ”

"Do you like it?" Murong Zheng raised his head suddenly, Nangong Yu was choked by his sudden question, I don't know why, he felt that Murong Zheng's eyes were a little strange when he looked at him, as if if he nodded now, he would turn his face with himself in the next second.

But is Nangong Yu someone who would be afraid of Murong Zheng? Of course not, so he simply nodded, "I like it, if you don't have any thoughts, then I'm ready to do it." ”

"You can try." Murong Zheng's tone did not change much, and even the expression on his face was a little easy-going, but Nangong Yu felt a chill behind his back, as if there was a knife on his neck.

"I'm just talking, besides, I think Miss Lu likes my Wenxianglou very much, if she wants to come by herself, I can't help it."

"She likes Wenxianglou because of the cook's craftsmanship, and it has nothing to do with you." Murong Zheng dropped a sentence unceremoniously, Nangong Yu raised his hand and touched his nose, "It's not unreasonable for you to say that." ”

In the blink of an eye, I have been working in Shen Ji Embroidery Village for more than half a month, because there are no bad reviews of the dresses customized by Lu Linlang's craftsmanship, and the reputation of Shen Ji Embroidery Village's custom dresses is also getting bigger and bigger, Shen Yuanfu took the opportunity to increase the cost of custom dresses, but despite this, the daily orders are still too busy to do.

She regretted that she had promised Shen Yuanfu to help him with this, but now she has become a tool to make money for them, and she has not had time to investigate her own affairs in detail, those two keys must be in Shen Yuanfu's personal place, but during this time, she has no chance to see anywhere else except the embroidery room.

Finally breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Ping An coming in from outside, followed by a familiar figure, Lu Linlang was slightly stunned, "Qinghong, why are you here?" ”

"Shopkeeper, I—I've come to you for something." Qinghong struggled at the gate of Shen Ji Xiuzhuang, and the guards guarding the door refused to let her in, but fortunately, when she passed by safely, she heard Qinghong say that she was looking for Lu Linlang, so she brought her in by the way.

Lu Linlang looked at Qinghong with a somewhat anxious appearance, and beckoned her to sit down next to her, "What's the matter, how did you find here?" ”

"Yesterday, a guest came to the embroidery village, claiming to be Miss Xu, saying that she had something to look for you, and today she came again, I saw that she was a little anxious, so she came here to find you by herself." Before Qinghong could sit down, she hurriedly told Lu Linlang about the matter.
