As soon as this person's words came out, Xia Chutao was stunned, she looked at the person in front of her fixedly, and she was very puzzled in her heart.

Xia Chutao didn't understand why this person said such a sentence, and thought: Do I know him?

Xia Chutao even compared the people he knew so far with the people in front of him, but the search was fruitless.

"Who the hell are you?"

After Xia Chutao realized that this person might know herself, she immediately became vigilant in her heart.

This person obviously knew Xia Chutao, but Xia Chutao didn't have any impression of him at all.

The so-called "the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light", Xia Chutao felt that he had to guard against it.

"Guess?"

Unexpectedly, the man smiled, and replied like this, which really surprised Xia Chutao.

At this time, Xia Chutao noticed that this person's eyes were very familiar, and the eyelashes that were as long as butterfly wings blinked, casting a row of fan-shaped shadows under the illumination of the moonlight.

Xia Chutao reacted suddenly: such delicate eyebrows and eyes...... The man in black in front of him is actually a woman!

"You're a woman!"

Xia Chutao covered her mouth and screamed, surprised by her guess.

"Huh."

The man's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he laughed, not knowing what he meant. She straightened up and said lightly.

"Save your life, I can't show up in time every time."

"Little lady! What's wrong with you, little girl! ”

Just as Xia Chutao was about to see more clearly, the two maids who were keeping vigil at the door finally reacted, pushed the door and broke in, and screamed after seeing the corpses in one place.

Both of them were shocked, and the first thing they did after reacting was to look at Xia Chutao, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and sluggish.

"Little lady! Are you okay! ”

Xia Chutao found out that after a while, that person was gone.

She looked at the two panicked little girls with some reproach, and said dissatisfied,

"I didn't know what to do earlier, but this time I scared people away."

"Who? What are you talking about, little lady? ”

Bizhu's courage was already very small, looking at the corpses in one place, coupled with Xia Chutao's inexplicable words, Bizhu's heart was even more afraid.

The two of them stepped on the corpse on the ground, trembling and came to Xia Chutao's front and knelt down.

Qiaoyun was much calmer than Bizhu, and after being frightened, the whole person calmed down, in the end, he was the person who experienced life and death by Xia Chutao's side, and now these are nothing compared to this.

"I don't know why, originally Bizhu and I were out keeping watch at night, and I fell asleep for some reason."

Qiaoyun tried his best to remember the previous events, but it was scattered, and he couldn't remember anything more.

"Yes, yes, yes, then I heard the little lady scream, and the two of us woke up."

Bizhu hurriedly picked up the words, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"As a result, as soon as I came in, I saw so many dead people, and I really frightened the slave maid......"

Bizhu looked at Xia Chutao aggrievedly, obviously frightened.

"What the hell is going on, little girl?"

"I don't know ...... either"

Xia Chutao looked at the corpses in the room fixedly, and didn't know how to explain to the two people in front of him for a while.

She could only say everything she had seen before, and the two maids looked at each other, and they didn't seem to come back to their senses from Xia Chutao's words.

"The servant suddenly remembered that it was rumored that the general had twelve capable subordinates by his side, and all of them were good hands who could fight ten."

Qiao Yun said this coldly at this time, which attracted the eyes of Bizhu and Xia Chutao to Qiao Yun at the same time.

"None of these twelve people have seen their true faces, they are all shadow guards planted by the general in the shadows. It will only come out when necessary. ”

Bizhu listened very carefully, and then nodded thoughtfully,

"Then Qiaoyun, do you mean that the person who just saved Xiao Niang is the general's shadow guard?"

"It's not impossible, the general put Xiao Niang in this suburban house, and today we have no way to protect Xiao Niang's safety."

Qiao Yun's clear and calm logic was even more evident at this time, and the analysis of these things was the first thing that made Xia Chutao feel very reasonable.

"The general himself has a lot of affairs, and this house is a certain distance away from the general's mansion, so it is impossible for the general to go back and forth in order to protect the little lady's thoughtfulness. So I guess the general must have arranged for one to protect the little lady by her side. ”

"Who else is such an agile and elusive character besides the shadow guard?"

"Then I think it must be the Shadow Guard!"

Bizhu felt that what Qiaoyun said was too reasonable,

"It's not too much for the general to come up and value Xiao Niang to arrange a shadow guard to protect him, which also reflects that the general really values Xiao Niang you."

Xia Chutao didn't feel unreasonable when she listened to Qiaoyun's careful analysis, but she didn't tell the two of them a detail - that is, the person who was just now herself was a woman.

If it is really like what Qiaoyun said, this woman is a shadow guard under Fu Rin, then what is her relationship with Fu Rin?

After thinking about it, Xia Chutao felt that this matter was really a headache, so he said to Bizhu and Qiaoyun,

"Don't worry about it for now, anyway, this time it's a thrill or not, you two go find a few people with more strength, and deal with it here, if you don't know, others still think I'm doing here."

"Yes."

Bizhu and Qiaoyun naturally understood, and went down after receiving Xia Chutao's order.

And Xia Chutao, who was thinking about this matter carefully, didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes outside the window, staring at him faintly.

General's Mansion, Fu Rin's study.

Fu Rin was looking at the military book in his hand in front of the desk, he leaned on the back of the chair leisurely, and his hand slightly supported his forehead, as if he was waiting for something.

In the next second, a black shadow jumped down from the beam of the room and knelt respectfully in front of Fu Rin.

Fu Rin silently glanced at the incense burning on his desk, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if jokingly said,

"It's back in such a short time, it seems that this is the opponent, it's not enough for you to stuff your teeth."

The general laughed.

The man said and ripped off the mask on his face, and the face that was displayed in front of Fu Rin was full of spring!

"I am pampered in the General's Mansion every day, but my body is still a little slower."

Man Chun said with a hint of shame, he was a little slower at that time, otherwise he wouldn't have scared Xia Chutao like that.

"At that time, I thought it was very condescending to install you, one of the twelve shadow guards, in the mansion to be such a boring general's wife, but at that time, I found that you are also a good housekeeper."

Saying that, Fu Rin put down the hand in his hand, looked at Man Chun with a hint of inquiry, and asked,

"Who sent the man this time? Broken jade? ”

"It's not her." Man Chun flatly denied it, "These people have all the strength of their bodies, I think they are all people who have fought in battle." If such a person wants to find broken jade, I am afraid it will be very difficult. ”

"Oh? So? Fu Rin narrowed his eyes, and there was an imperceptible light under his eyes.

"Yes, it's quite possible that it's 'that person.'"

What Man Chun said was very vague, and it seemed to be very taboo to mention the names of the people.

"What are you saying he's trying again and again?"

Fu Rin said this, and the hand holding the armrest really couldn't help but exert a little force.

"Now that I am uneasy inside and outside, I guess I have my own worries."

Man Chun said in a deep voice.

"Well, let's just do our part." Fu Rin didn't think about it anymore, and then asked again.

"How's that about what you were asked to investigate?"

"It has been investigated clearly, although this matter was ostensibly done by Yusheng, but the person who went to get the safflower was indeed broken jade."

Man Chun truthfully reported her investigation, and neither she nor Fu Rin were surprised by this result.

"Heh, the old lady has just promoted her, and she dares to move so much."

Fu Rin sneered, he had always disdained such a person. But the broken jade moved Xia Chutao, and he wouldn't turn the page so easily in this matter.

"Now that the evidence has been collected, it's time for a showdown."

Fu Rin got up from his chair as he spoke, and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.

Tonight's sky, there is no light in the dark area, it is really depressing.

"With this incident, it is time for the old woman to step down."

Fu Rin turned around and said to Man Chun,

"When the time comes, I will take Tao'er back, and you will take over all the affairs of the General's Mansion."

"Yes, Man Chun is happy to serve the general."

Man Chun clenched his fists and replied respectfully.

The Emperor's Bedchamber.

I saw that the cloud top sandalwood in the dormitory was the beam, the crystal jade was the lamp, the pearl was the curtain, the fan gold was the pillar base, the palace lamp was shining, and the dark fragrance was overflowing. The six-foot-wide agarwood bed is hung with a shark silk treasure account, and the tent is embroidered with pearl silver thread begonia flowers, and the wind rises and the curtain moves, such as falling clouds and mountains and phantom seas.

When the emperor saw someone coming, he pushed away the beauty beside him, straightened his robe slightly, and opened his mouth lazily,

"How?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't succeed. Originally, it was nine out of ten, but the person who used the "green jade dart" should be the 'Heli' of the Twelve Shadow Guards, and those of us were not the opponents of the Shadow Guards at all. ”

"Oh?" The emperor's brow furrowed slightly, and he smiled sarcastically,

"Fu Rin, Fu Rin, is this woman so precious that you sent a shadow guard to protect it? Interesting. ”

"In that case, don't do it for the time being, it's not easy for you to do it with the shadow guard on the side."

"Yes."

"Beauty." At this time, the emperor lifted the chin of the beauty beside him, pinched it playfully, and asked,

"What show do you like?"

"The concubine likes the palace banquet the most!" The beauty put her arms around his neck and replied coquettishly.

The Emperor raised his eyebrows and laughed in relief.

"Palace banquet? The palace banquet is good, and the general of Zhenguo was invited to come with him at that time. ”
