"A batch of inferior medicines was deliberately imported to make a profit from it, thus delaying the treatment of the plague. The Xiang family testified again, and now the emperor has sent someone to investigate. ”

"What? How could there be such a thing? Qingwan was immediately angry: "Obviously, the Bai family colluded with the medicine merchant and wanted to frame Lu Gongzi, and also ambushed the killer!" Now it's time to reverse black and white! ”

"The Bai family acted first and reported the matter early, and the emperor didn't know the inside story, so he was naturally furious." Li Gui continued, "This is clear. Secretly, the Bai family has already sent someone to assassinate you in the village! ”

"Kill me?" Qingwan couldn't believe her ears: "This"

"Exactly," Li Gui said, "Lu Gongzi learned the news a long time ago, so he went to live in the village, but in fact, he was secretly protecting you." ”

Qingwan was stunned, she couldn't spit out half a word, she looked at Li Gui, and only felt that her heart sank.

"Miss Qing must not know at all, right?" Li Guidao, "Lu Gongzi has lived in the village for a while, but it has been calm, and the informant sent out has not received anything, but Lu Gongzi has always been worried about you, even if there is nothing, he will not leave." Who knew that on the fourth day of the first lunar month, just after the New Year, the Bai family chose to start at this time. ”

"The fourth day of the first month?"

"On the fourth night of the first lunar month, Lu Gongzi discovered the killer who came quietly, fought hard in the middle of the night, and finally got rid of all five people in the future." Li Gui's voice became lower and lower, "Fortunately, Lu Gongzi has good skills and is not injured, if he is replaced by someone else, he will lose half his life if he does not die." Those are all top masters hired by the Bai family with a lot of money! ”

Qingwan was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he said with difficulty: "Why didn't he tell me such a thing?" ”

"Lu Gongzi is afraid that you are worried and anxious, he just wants to quietly protect you and not let you suffer any harm." Li Gui sighed lightly, "This kind of intention is only understood by me, as a brother." ”

Qingwan only felt uncomfortable in her heart, her eyes were red, and she tried her best to hold back: "I don't know the Bai family, why do they have to get rid of me quickly?" ”

"You don't know about that? You are the most important person in Lu Gongzi's heart, if you get rid of you, wouldn't it be better than getting rid of Lu Gongzi himself, and let the Bai family be relieved? ”

Hearing this, Qingwan couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell down her eyes.

"Sister Wei, don't cry." The little camel watched from the side, sad and anxious, "You should be happy to have Lu Gongzi treat you so lovingly!" ”

"I'm talking to Miss Qing seriously! You interject less! Li Gui interrupted him impatiently: "Miss Qing, since that night, the Bai family has easily not dared to send people to attack, so Lu Gongzi is more relieved." No, he is going to quietly enter Beijing in the near future to deal with the affairs of the Xiang family and the Bai family. ”

Qingwan barely held back her tears: "I asked him many times, but he just wouldn't tell me." ”

"Lu Gongzi is afraid that you will be worried and anxious, he just wants to handle everything by himself. So that you don't have a little grievance. Li Gui said in a deep voice.

"Then when will he go to Beijing?"

"I don't know," Li Gui shook his head, "I didn't tell me the specific date." However, I am going to go to Beijing in advance so that I can help Mr. Lu. ”

"It turns out that Brother Li is here for this reason." Qingwan is only now completely clear, and she only feels bitter and sour in her heart. At this moment, she wished she could see Lu Yanyi right away, and said in person that so many misunderstandings in the past have now been resolved, and she just wants to apologize to Lu Yanyi.

"Yes," Li Gui saw that there were more and more people in the store, and said, "It's not too early, there are a lot of people here, don't talk about it, Miss Qing should rest early." ”

"Brother Li" Qingwan called out subconsciously uneasily.

Li Gui seemed to fully understand what she meant, and a smile appeared on his face: "Miss Qing, you can rest assured, with Lu Gongzi and me, I will not let the Xiang family and the Bai family succeed." Moreover, we are not unprepared. ”

Qingwan nodded slowly, she only felt like a mess in her heart, and she just wanted to be alone and quiet: "Then I'll go upstairs to rest first." Shall we have dinner together tomorrow morning? ”

Li Gui and Little Camel agreed, and sent her to the upstairs room until the two left.

Qingwan is lying on the bed, how can she sleep? Tonight's wind was extremely tight, and listening to the whistling sound outside the window, she only felt uneasy in her heart.

After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, she was about to fall asleep in a daze, when she suddenly felt a strong air flow passing by outside the door, which seemed to engulf everyone in it!

Qingwan was excited, and immediately sat up, listening to the movement outside, but there was nothing in an instant, there was nothing.

She sat there in a daze, her mind going up and down, and she had no idea for a while, not knowing what to do.

Whoosh, two sword winds suddenly sounded from outside the door, and in this deep and silent night, it seemed extremely terrifying.

The door opened, and then several black figures flashed, and they entered the room, and a cold dagger was pressed against Qingwan's neck, and the air in the room suddenly froze.

"Master Lu," the man in black led by him suddenly spoke: "If you don't want this girl to die, you better surrender obediently." ”

"Okay, I surrender, don't hurt her."

The sound is so familiar! Qingwan had completely forgotten about her own danger, and looked intently at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her, tears flowing.

"Haha!" The man in black saw Lu Yanyi put down the knife in his hand, and immediately laughed: "It seems that Lord Bai is right, you have to grasp the weakness of the other party when you do things!" Unexpectedly, the famous Lu Gongzi was so easy to catch for a girl! In that case, then you're welcome! ”

In an instant, except for the person who held Qingwan hostage, the rest of the killers pounced on Lu Yanyi, saying that it was too late, it was fast, seeing that everyone came to the front, Lu Yanyi turned around lightly, kicked the knife on the ground with his toes, and shot straight at the leader of the killer behind Qingxuan.

The black-clothed leader was immersed in the self-satisfaction of victory, and when he saw the flying knife in front of him, the hand holding the dagger just wanted to move, Lu Yanyi had already come to him, pinched the wrist of the black-clothed leader, and then kicked him in the heart, and in an instant, the dagger had fallen into Lu Yanyi's hand.

The black-clad leader fell to the ground, and with a pop, spat out a pool of blood, unable to struggle any longer.

Lu Yanyi hugged Qingwan tightly, holding the dagger tightly in his hand, and stared at the rest of the people in black.

The leader suddenly fell to the ground, and the men in black were stunned for a moment, and only when they reacted did they rush up together.

"Ahh Yes! A series of screams rang out in the small room in an instant. Only at this moment, the black-clothed people in the room fell to the ground one after another, and they only let out a scream, and then they never moved again.

Qingwan was covered in a cold sweat, looking at the assassin who had fallen to the ground, and he couldn't make a single sound in his throat.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." A calm voice sounded from behind him, and the gentle tone made it impossible to believe that this was the person who had resisted the assassin just now.

Qingwan's heart was hot, and she subconsciously turned around and met Lu Yanyi's dark eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me?" For some reason, his stomach was full of tenderness, and suddenly turned into angry words.

"It's not too late for you to know now." There was only a faint answer.

"Master Lu! Qing girl! Li Gui's voice suddenly sounded, and immediately after, he and the little camel appeared in the room.

Looking at the corpses lying all over the ground, Li Gui just frowned, and asked, "Are you okay?" I'm late! ”

"This little thing, don't bother you." Lu Yanyi's tone didn't have any warmth, "Brother Li, didn't you not use it?" ”

"Master Lu," Li Gui looked anxious, "I really can't rest assured of you, so I came along, you see tonight"

"It's just a few little assassins," Lu Yanyi seemed to say something unrelated, "forget it, since the eldest brother is here, let's go to Beijing together." ”

Li Gui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "I'll just say, the two of us can be companions." He looked at the ground with disgust: "This Bai family really doesn't care about blood, looking at these people, their backgrounds are not ordinary sects." ”

"Bai Dingxing must put me to death, so he will naturally be willing to spend a lot of money." Lu Yanyi sneered, "Little camel, I'll leave it to you here." ”

"Don't worry, Master Lu!" The little camel suddenly came to his senses.

Qingwan was about to say something, but she felt her shoulders tightened, and then she heard an unquestionable voice: "Go to my room." ”

Involuntarily, Qingwan followed to the next room, and Lu Yanyi closed the door casually: "Sit down." Scared, right? ”

Qingwan, who was in shock, looked at the person in front of her, and only felt a burst of anger, which made her involuntarily stretch out her little fist: "I"

A pair of big hands grasped her thin wrists: "I'm tired in the middle of the night, don't let me deal with you again, right?" ”

Suddenly, Qingwan's whole body seemed to be paralyzed, and she fell into his arms, tears rolling down as if the floodgates had been opened.

He gently stroked Qingwan's back, and his voice was as warm as the April breeze: "Don't be afraid, just a few little assassins." Well, it's all gone, with me here, nothing. ”

"I'm not afraid!" Qingwan choked up, "I'm angry with you!" You didn't say a word to me about such a dangerous thing! ”

"What danger?" Lu Yanyi chuckled: "I've said it all, isn't it just a trivial matter?" Not to mention these little assassins, even their employers are about to follow them. ”

"What did you say?" Qingwan subconsciously raised her head, "Employer? ”

"Yes," Lu Yanyi said lightly, "The Xiang family and the Bai family have a few good days." ”

"You're saying you already have a solution?" Qingwan was overjoyed.

Lu Yanyi just nodded: "Do you remember what I told you, that Guangdong merchant?" ”

"Remember!" Qingwan hurriedly said, "Isn't it the one you met when you went to buy medicinal herbs?" ”
