With more time to get along, Ah Xiu was gradually able to blend in with Lu Mengxue's three daughters, and when she changed into the splendid clothes that Yunzhong Longxin bought for her, she looked even more delicate and charming. Although she knew that the people in Yunzhonglong had extraordinary backgrounds, when she knew that Lu Mengxue was the son-in-law of Qi State, she still couldn't close her mouth in surprise.

Unbeknownst to him, Yun Zhonglong and others bought things on a large scale, which attracted the attention of a habitual thief named Zhou Zhi, who kept an eye on the street for several days, but did not find a suitable target to start. Finally found such a big sheep, so he followed them all the way to the inn where they entered, and went to his accomplices to discuss how to take advantage of the opportunity.

This night, the old man couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, thinking that as long as he followed Yun Zhonglong and others, he could let his granddaughter Ah Xiu live so happily all the time, and he could also get rid of it; Looking at his appearance, he is not the kind of person who is not responsible after playing, thinking about how to make her his woman, and he may be able to solve this problem once and for all. I thought of my dead wife, son and daughter-in-law, etc., and I thought about it until after the time of my son, and then I fell asleep.

The dragon in the cloud can naturally detect that someone is following him, but in order not to startle the snake and find out who it is and what he wants to do, he will plan and act as if he knows nothing.

The big house where Lu Mengxue's four daughters lived only had two beds; Ah Xiu has slept on the thatch of a small dilapidated house since she was a child, and after knowing their identities, she trembled even more, afraid of doing something wrong.

Ah Xiu saw that it was not early, and although they were very tired, they didn't mean to go to bed, so she said, "Miss Mengxue, you go to bed, I'll just sleep on the ground." ”

Lu Mengxue shook her head and said, "Ah Xiu, since I didn't leave you behind, I didn't treat you as a human being, and you don't treat me as a son-in-law in the future, eldest lady, everyone should be called sisters." Without waiting for her to argue, she said: "Since everyone is sisters, don't see each other too much, you and I can sleep in the same bed." ”

Ah Xiu was about to say something, Yun Zhonglong knocked on the door and entered, he knew that someone might be unfavorable to them, in order to prevent Lu Mengxue and others from having any accidents, he did not prepare his room to sleep at night, but brought his own futon to the big house where they lived, so that if anything happened, he could take care of it in time.

When Lu Mengxue saw him like this, she couldn't help but say, "Brother Ripple, are you afraid that we don't have a futon?" ”

Yun Zhonglong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I'll sleep here tonight." ”

When Ah Xiu heard this, he immediately exclaimed, "Ah! "Ever since she became sensible, she had never slept in the same room with an adult man. Although they are not lonely men and widows now, they have a great relationship, and they can't say that they will do something intimate, so how can I be with them? Qiao blushed and said in a panic: "Then I'll go to the opposite room and sleep well." ”

Yun Zhonglong hurriedly said: "No! "He's here to protect them, so how can he let her go to the opposite room.

When Ah Xiu heard this, she was afraid and ashamed on her delicate face, so she was silent, bowing her head and rubbing the corners of her clothes.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Yun Zhonglong decomposed: "Today I found someone on the street following us, it may be against us, for the sake of safety, so you can't leave this room for the time being." ”

Ah Xiu realized that he had misunderstood what he meant, and his pretty face was even more ruddy, delicate and moving.

Lu Mengxue answered and slept in the same bed with Ah Xiu; Xia He Dongmei slept in another bed, and Yun Zhonglong simply set up a sleeping place on the ground, and there was no discomfort for him.

Soon, several people fell asleep one after another while quietly waiting.

The night was getting deeper and everything around was so quiet.

The dragon in the cloud was gently covered with a futon on his body, his eyes closed, but he didn't dare to have a trace of carelessness, although with his skill at this moment, within a few zhang around, it was difficult to hide from him, but looking at the person who was stalking, his skill was extraordinary, if it wasn't for his high vigilance, he really couldn't find him, so he cheered up and waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took, but he was startled, and he found someone walking towards him with light steps. When the visitor walked five steps to his place, he heard the sound and identified the position, turned over, grabbed the visitor's right wrist with one hand, and choked his throat with the other. I felt that my hand was slippery, and I knew that the other party was a woman, and her hand was slightly light, but she was restrained and didn't want to hurt her.

But I heard the woman struggling again and again, and only after a long time did she whisper: "Hurry up and let go, it's me!" ”

Yun Zhonglong was startled and shouted, "Why are you, Xiaomei?" ”

The person who touched it quietly was Dongmei, who rubbed his neck that was scratched a little painfully by him, and said: "People want to come over to see if you have covered the futon, who knows, you will strangle you!" ”

Yun Zhonglong made such an oolong incident, knowing that she cared about herself, and was afraid that the girls in the same room would know, so she had to sneak over, so she said apologetically: "Xiaomei, you don't have to worry about me, it's not too early, hurry up and go to sleep!" ”

Dongmei leaned on him and whispered, "The people you said don't dare to sleep, so let me accompany you for a while!" ”

Yun Zhonglong felt her slender body, trembling slightly, a pair of immature little pigeons on his chest, a pair of aura eyes, shining in the night, looking up at him helplessly.

Just as he was half-embracing her, there was an inaudible sound of footsteps outside the window.

Dongmei saw that he didn't speak for a long time, but he refused to agree, so she wanted to speak.

Yun Zhonglong hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover her little mouth, hugged her in his arms, and listened to the sound outside. I heard the sound of something sharp piercing the window paper, and I was afraid that the enemy would put some kind of poisonous gas, so I hurriedly closed my breath and covered my mouth and nose for Dongmei; I was afraid that the other party would have something powerful, so I didn't dare to act rashly for a while, so I had to wait and see what happened.

But when she saw Dongmei in her arms, her delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly let go of her hand and used her mouth to take a breath of true breath for her. He could not breathe for several hours, not sleep for ten days and half a month, and not eat or drink for several months, but she could not do it even for a while.

Dongmei only felt that the sky was spinning, and the whole person was light, like entering the clouds, so comfortable that she forgot everything.

After a while, I heard footsteps outside the window again, not the previous time, this time it was two people.

They gently pried open the window, and the two of them quickly crossed the lattice and swooped in.

The dragon in the cloud rubbed his body and slashed towards the person in front of him with one palm, easily knocking him out, and the person behind saw that the situation was not good, and it was too late to turn around, so he hurriedly threw his hand and fled backwards.

He was fast, the dragon in the cloud was faster than him, and he was afraid that he would use some powerful secret weapon, so he flipped his palms, raised a shield in front of him, pushed forward, and a domineering and incomparable wind rushed straight towards the man.

Just listen, "Bump!" With a thud, the man rolled down under the window, tiptoed, and the figure disappeared into the night.

The dragon in the cloud lit the oil lamp, and the girls still slept as usual at this time, feeling that the atmosphere in the house was different, and hurriedly opened all the windows, and took Dongmei, who was stunned there, to the outside of the house, and found that everything was normal in their room opposite. So he immediately carried Lu Mengxue, Xia He, and Ah Xiu on the bed in the house to his room one by one, and after doing all this, he had time to see the person in the house who had just stunned him, and found that it was actually a thin man.

Dongmei came back to her senses for a long time, and said worriedly: "Miss and sister, what's wrong with them?" ”

Yun Zhonglong lifted the fainting Zhou Twist, threw it into the room, picked up the cold tea on the table and poured it on his head.

After a stirring spirit, he woke up, only to see a handsome and proud young man standing in the room, standing in front of him, and a beautiful and lovely little girl next to him, looking at him with wide eyes.

Yun Zhonglong said indifferently: "It's not good to do anything in the middle of the night, you have to disturb people's dreams, say, what do you want to do?" ”

As a habitual thief, Zhou Ji naturally has his own way to deal with it, so he hugged his head uncomfortably, tilted suddenly, and fainted again.

Dongmei couldn't help but say anxiously: "What to do, Miss, they will be fine!" ”

Yun Zhonglong couldn't help but look at the bed, and his heart was also a little uneasy.

Who knows, Zhou Twist is just deliberately pretending, in order to find the opportunity for the other party to overlook and get out of the opportunity. It's just that what he didn't expect was that although he was extremely fast, he was far less powerful than the other party.

When Yun Zhonglong saw him jump up, he wanted to jump out of the door, and with a kick of his foot, a wooden chair next to him flew over like the wind, only to hear a "pounce!" There was a thud on the ground, and the legs were twisted in the middle. The strong wind was so strong that it actually broke his big and small legs, and the whole person lay on the ground like an arrow and flew away. In this way, he has become an out-and-out setback. If he had known that there would be today, he probably wouldn't have called it a setback, what is not good, it should be called a setback; It's called folding, it's folding, and it's strange that you want to learn to steal chickens and touch dogs.

Yun Zhonglong walked over, didn't waste his expression, and said, "Say, what do you want to do?" ”

Zhou Fold was also stiff, his leg was broken, he only screamed at the beginning, and he didn't say a word at the moment, but he knew that the other party was not a good stubble, so he tried to sit up, and struggled: "I said, will you let me go?" His meaning is obvious, if Heng Zhi is a death, what difference does it make if he says it or not, so he has to bargain with the other party.

Yun Zhonglong snorted coldly and said, "Since you don't want to say it, then you should never say it." ”

Zhou Zhi heard his tone, and knew that what he said was true, so with the ruthlessness of the other party, killing someone was definitely not much different than stepping on an ant to death. Busy said: "I just saw the money and opened my eyes, and when I saw the uncle's generous hand, I wanted to ......"

Yun Zhonglong knew that he had not offended anyone when he first arrived in Weiguo, and they would make up their minds, either they wanted to rob money, or they saw a few beautiful women and wanted to rob them, so they said: "What you just blew into the room was a misty incense?" ”

Zhou Zhi nodded hurriedly and said, "After smelling this incense, you will fall asleep as usual, as long as you wash your face with water, you will wake up naturally." "Xindao: I obviously blew incense into the room, why didn't he faint? It seems that he is unlucky to be planted in his hands, and he doesn't want to put his life on the line for a little money, so at this moment, he knows that there is no hope of escape, so he tries his best to cooperate, but begs the other party to let him live.

Dongmei woke up Lu Mengxue, Xia He, and Ah Xiu with clear water, and the girls woke up like a dream and looked at a strange injured man in the room, and couldn't help asking, Dongmei naturally wouldn't say that she ran to care about others in the middle of the night, and just happened to encounter someone stealing, but she pointed at the dragon in the cloud with her hand, and said: "It was he who saw through their tricks, woke us up, and caught this person again!" Only then did they know that the man was a thief.

Yun Zhonglong saw that they woke up, and his heart was relieved, and the inn where they were staying was extremely remote, so he made such a fuss, and he didn't even alarm anyone else. After thinking about it, he was not afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of thieves, and said: "Who is the person who was injured by me just now, and how can I find him?" ”

Zhou Zhe thought that he had already said something, one sentence was to say, ten sentences, a hundred sentences, and he also said: "He is my cousin, his name is Zhou, I know where he lives, and I can take you there." Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Since you say that he is wounded, I don't know if he will go back there." ”

Yun Zhonglong saw that he did not seem to be lying, and knew that he could not ask anything else, so he gave him ten taels of silver and asked someone to send him away. According to his current appearance, his legs should still be cured, and he can barely walk if he wants to, but if he wants to walk the streets and alleys like before, it is difficult to steal chickens and touch dogs.

At this point, the matter can be regarded as a temporary end, and several people are a little dizzy, so they huddle in the room of the dragon in the cloud and sleep, and there is nothing to say all night, but nothing happens.

In the early morning of the next day, Yunzhonglong knew that he and the others were being watched, so in order not to worry the women, he did not rush overnight, let alone say anything to them, but only waited until the sky was already bright, and then packed up and started on the road.

For the first time in his life, the old man lived in a good room, slept very soundly, and when he went on the road, he knew that he could not do anything, so he insisted that he drive the carriage, so that there was no need to hire another man, and although he had never ridden a horse, he was also very good at handling livestock, and it was not long before he could easily drive the carriage. Since he and his granddaughter Ah Xiu were both slaves of the Kang family and did not have their own names and surnames, they listened to the meaning of Yun Zhonglong, and since they were patriots, they called him Uncle Wei.

At this time, Yunzhonglong also knew from the mouths of local merchants and travelers that the road they took a while ago was very different from what they expected, and the border of Qi to the west was Zhai State, Wei State, Cao State, Wei State to the west is Jin State, and south is Cao State. They are now in the north of Chaoge, the capital of the country, and they decided to start their journey south.

Wei Guo was originally at the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the beginning of the founding of the country by Kang Shufeng, and the westward migration of King Zhou Ping supported by Duke Wei Wu, all of which were influential princely powers in the Central Plains, but at this moment, it has completely degenerated into a small country that is left and right in the cracks of big powers.
