She nodded solemnly when she heard this, and made a look of listening attentively.

I lowered my voice and began to explain to her: "We can't stay with Ling Niankong anymore. But it's hard for the two of us to leave together, and I'll find a way to get you away first. When you go out......" I pulled out the address I had written in advance from my bosom. "Go to this wine shop and tell the shopkeeper that you want to see the prince of the southern country. He will ask you, there are many sons in the southern country, which one do you want to meet. And thou shalt say, Thou shalt see the coldest one. Then he will arrange for someone to take you out of Shengjing and go to the night city in the north. When you get there, someone will pick you up. Remember? ”

"Remembered." For some reason, Qingdai suddenly looked a little excited when she heard me mention Beili, and her eyes were red. "But what are you going to do, miss? Or Miss, you go first, Qingdai actually doesn't matter if you don't go. ”

"Ling Niankong's mind is all on me, even if I escape, I will still be captured. You're different, he doesn't necessarily look for it when you leave, so you go first. You go to meet the person I said, he will pass the news to the person who can really help me, only that person has the possibility to compete with Ling Niankong, do you understand? ”

I told Qing Dai that the wine shop and the code words were a joke between me and Shen Fengyue before, questioning whether he had the ability to bring me back to Beili smoothly.

He was so annoyed by me that he finally said angrily that even if I was caught, he would be able to help me escape again. I didn't believe it, so he told me about an intelligence point he had planted in Shengjing City.

I also joked at the time, saying that I thought he asked me to ask for help from Chun Jin Lou. Unexpectedly, the idle talk at the beginning turned out to be a glimmer of hope.

In fact, when I heard that Ling Niankong allowed me to go out last night, I tried to find a way to break up the people who followed me and asked him for help through the dark line buried by Shen Fengyue. But now that I think of Qingdai, it's better to send her away first. With her consistent protector nature, she will definitely find a way to save me. Even if this road doesn't work, I still have a deal with Xiao Jifeng, and I will always have a chance to leave.

"Qingdai understands."

The most important thing now is how to send Qing Dai away, and it is almost impossible to escape from Ling Mansion......

Suddenly, the courtyard door was opened, and the familiar sound of footsteps was heard. Even if I had my back to the direction of the gate, I knew who it was.

My heart suddenly cooled: didn't he go to the battalion headquarters? How did you come back so soon?

The so-called "battalion headquarters" is the Shenwu Battalion located on the outskirts of Shengjing City, the station of the Shenwu Infantry Army in the south.

I originally thought that Ling Niankong would go back and forth on the road and deal with military affairs, and I would not be able to come back until noon at the earliest, so I dared to take the opportunity to come and see Qingdai, but unexpectedly......

I stiffened and turned to look at him, and there was nothing unusual on his face. But I became more and more flustered: the two scenes I had played before me were to make him feel that I was now very afraid of him, and that I did not dare to disobey him in the slightest. But now that I am in this sunny garden, I am dismantling my own platform, after all, he had choked me by the neck and warned me that if I stepped into this sunny garden again, he would definitely kill me. So if I had been as afraid of him as I have appeared, I would never have been here!

And when he saw me here, he didn't look the slightest surprise, obviously knowing in advance that I had stepped into this sunny garden. Could he have heard what I said to Qing Dai just now?

A fine layer of cold sweat oozed from my back.

Seeing him getting closer and closer, my heart was crossed: what about him! Now that the play has begun, it must be played no matter what; Since my weakness and my humility can make him soften his heart a little, then I will be a little more humble, even if it is just to disturb his mind, at least I have to pass the current hurdle first.

I gradually calmed down and couldn't help but smile bitterly: But life is really like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.

With great care, I stabbed the fingertips with the silver needle hidden in my sleeve.

Ten fingers connected to my heart, I trembled all over, and tears poured out of my eyes. Ling Niankong saw it in his eyes and hurriedly walked a few steps, but he didn't know the mystery of my sleeve.

I took a secret breath and said in a trembling voice before him: "Niankong...... I know you said I didn't deserve to be in this courtyard, but I was a little worried when I heard that Qingdai was being held here, so I came to see her...... Can you, forgive me this time? ”

He sighed and took my hand. "Come back to the Cold Garden with me."

I was led by him, but I wondered in my heart, why was his reaction so flat? Leng Qingqian is his reverse scale, and any person or thing about her will affect his emotions.

"Wait!" I don't want Qingdai to suddenly speak out at this time. I stopped, and Ling Niankong just paused before pulling me forward again.

Seeing this, Qing Dai actually ran a few steps fast and blocked in front of us. She glared at Ling Niankong with red eyes.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, I shook my head at her, but she didn't listen to persuasion, and pointed at Ling Niankong and said angrily: "Who do you say is not worthy of entering this courtyard!?" ”

Ling Niankong's face became ugly, but he still sneered and said, "It seems that you have something to say, okay, I'll give you this opportunity today." ”

No way! I'm afraid that Qingdai won't be good if it looks like this. I just wanted to speak, but Qing Dai took the lead, her voice trembled violently, but not because of fear, but because of anger: "You are not worthy of stepping into this courtyard!" You are not worthy to be the master of this general's mansion at all! ”

General's Mansion? I don't understand what Qing Dai is talking about. It seems that although Qingdai has been away from Leng Qingqian for four years, she still knows some things.

Qing Dai turned to me with tears in her eyes, "Miss, do you really not remember anything?" Look at this yard. This is where you grew up! This Qingyuan is your courtyard, and this Ling Mansion is General Leng's mansion! ”

I finally understood: it turned out that this was Leng Yihan's mansion! It turns out that I have always been mistaken, this Qingyuan was not built by Ling Niankong for the original owner, it was originally the residence of the original owner!

"Ling Niankong, I only recently learned that you are the culprit who ruined the young lady's family, and even almost lost her life. You wolf-hearted thing! You caused more than 80 people in the General's Mansion to die tragically, and you can still live here with peace of mind, aren't you afraid that those tragically dead souls will come to you in the middle of the night to ask for your life?! ”

Qing Dai's accusation shocked me to hear. She just scolded Ling Niankong, and even mentioned that he was the culprit who killed Leng Qingqian! This was the biggest pain in his heart, how could he allow others to mention it like this!?

Sure enough, Ling Niankong's face turned pale, and he suppressed his voice and said, "Finished?" Before Qing Dai could answer, he shouted angrily: "Someone! Give her to me......"

I chuckled in my heart, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Niankong, Qingdai is the protector of her heart, can you read her loyalty and let her go this time?" ”

"It's none of your business." He spoke with a frost and shook me off. His strength was so great that I staggered and was unstable, but when I saw that he wanted to call someone again, I couldn't care so much, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes, but I fell to my knees because my body was out of balance. My knee slammed into the stone brick floor, and the pain made me cry.

This situation was really a bit embarrassing, but it happened to be the effect I wanted, so I simply didn't get up, just looked up at him with teary eyes, and his words were also slightly nasal: "Niankong, I was taken care of by Qingdai before, and I also knew that she was just dedicated to her master, can you, can you please spare her this time?" ”

Ling Niankong was so angry that he didn't even notice that I was unsteady under my feet before I knelt on the ground, so when he saw me like this, he twisted his eyebrows, thinking that I was really kneeling and begging him. "What are you doing here? Get up! He commanded in a deep voice, trying to pull me up, but I pulled him down the sleeve and fell with all my might.

Kneel and kneel, if there is no result, wouldn't it be in vain? My knees are much more expensive than their ancients, so where can I easily kneel down for people?

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind: instead of taking the risk of secretly sending Qingdai away, I would take this opportunity to beg this person to release Qingdai......

So I took advantage of the wetness in my eyes to lower my posture and begged him, "Niankong, you let her go!" Have you forgotten? Qingdai is her girl! ”

Hearing this, his eyes were finally resolute. I continued: "You let her go, she owes you, I'll pay it back, okay?" Don't you want to keep me around? I won't run away, I'll stay with you, and I can do whatever you want me to do, just ask you to let her go. You let her go, okay? "The tears have been accumulating for a long time, and they can no longer be suppressed, and they are falling down the cheeks.

He finally scooped me up from the ground. "Do you really care so much about this girl?" He looked into my eyes to discern my true intentions.

I saw that his attitude had softened, so I nodded hurriedly.

"That's good." He paused and continued, "I'll spare her life. After finishing speaking, Ling Niankong raised his hand to summon Xue Rang, who had already been attracted by the movement here. Kick her out and don't set foot in the Ling Mansion again. ”

"Yes." Xue Rang responded and dragged Qingdai out. And Qing Dai's expression is very strange.

Since Xue Rang appeared, she has peeked at Xue Rang intentionally or unintentionally, and although she tried her best to hide the shock on her face, she still couldn't escape my eyes.

And at this moment, her abnormality was even more obvious, and she didn't even look back at me, and was taken out by Xue Rang in a daze.

Could it be that Qingdai knows Xue Rang? It stands to reason that this should not be the case, because Qing Dai was sent to the palace by Leng Qingqian four years ago to be a maid to Yue Luanxi, and Ling Niankong only left Yunhua Mountain after that year and got acquainted with the original owner. Qing Dai had never even seen Ling Niankong, let alone his guard Xue Rang.

However, the current situation does not allow me to think too much, but fortunately, Qingdai was able to get out. Although Ling Niankong may send someone to keep an eye on her, there will always be more hope when she goes out, and I hope that she will have the opportunity to go to the wine shop.
