Xiao He smiled a little easily, but it made Mu Yunjing feel uncomfortable.

He hoped that he could stand by her side, share the burden for her, and relieve her worries, instead of being stopped by her and treated like a child when he was still a child. Even he felt that in her eyes, he looked at himself as much as Du Nanzhu's eyes, just an orphan she picked up at home.

When something happened outside, she told Xiao Shi, but she hid it from herself, not because of intimacy, but because of that trust, which made him a little disappointed.

However, since she said that she didn't need to take it to heart, he granted her wish and didn't ask any more.

The expression on Mu Yunjing's face changed from sunny to cloudy, and then from yin to brightness, only for a moment, "Then I'll go and see if Nanzhu is messing around with Mr. again and not going to class well." So saying, he turned and walked out.

Sensing the slight change in Mu Yunjing's mood, Xiao He opened his mouth, but he never opened his mouth.

After seeing Mu Yunjing go out, Xiao Shi said to Xiao He, "It may not be a good thing for you to protect him too tightly." Xiao He pinched the teacup and said calmly: "I should inherit my brother, as long as there is still a breath left, I will do my best to protect him, and I naturally shouldn't bother him with these trivial matters." ”

Xiao Shi shook his head gently, "If you're gone, what do you want him to do?" ”

Xiao He was slightly stunned, she didn't take this layer into account.

"If you really want to protect him, you should teach him how to protect himself, instead of doing everything for him, so that he doesn't even have the ability to hold a weapon." Xiao Shi looked at Xiao He and said with a serious expression.

Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "You have to teach you a lesson, then, start next time." ”

Xiao Shi sighed, "A loving mother is a loser." ”

Xiao He threw the cup in his hand and hit him directly in front of the door, but he was firmly clamped by his two fingers, and he pinched it up and drank the remaining half of the cup of residual tea. It's just that as soon as he made this move, even he was slightly surprised. He looked up at Xiao He, remembering that she was drinking water from this teacup just now, and he was careless for a moment. Then he quietly put the teacup back on the table, pretending to be calm as if nothing had happened.

"What do you think of the poisonous spider in the inn?" Xiao He asked him, but saw that he was a little distracted, and called him again, only to see that his eyes were clear again. "Last night, at the fourth watch, a man in black came to visit the inn at night, and first stayed on your roof for a while, and then stopped a little above the place where Daduo lived in the main hall. I was far away, unsure if the man had done anything. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Xiao He raised his eyebrows.

"Seeing that you slept so soundly," the second half of the sentence couldn't bear to disturb, and he swallowed it back silently.

"Can you wake me up too, can you see what's going on?" Xiao He asked.

"The body martial arts look like the people of the black guards." Xiao Shi said honestly.

Xiao He fell into deep thought, Mu Churan's person, it shouldn't be here to release poisonous insects, he didn't want Daduo's life, could it be someone else's doing. She looked up and asked Xiao Shi, "Are you sure?" Has anyone else been here? ”

"It should be gone." Xiao Shi rolled his eyes, he has always slept lightly, and some wind and grass can wake him up, which is also the habit of many years of killer career, and if he sleeps deeply, it is possible that he may lose his life in a dream.

"It doesn't make sense, what did Mu Churan send someone to do?" Xiao He couldn't guess.

"I don't think you have to worry about this. Duan Heng is not a stupid person, he is bent on protecting you, even if he can't find evidence, with his ability, he will have a way to exonerate you. Mu Churan has no intention of curing your crimes, otherwise he should have directly ordered someone to take you to Jingzhao Mansion, not to let you go home and think about it. Xiao Shi analyzed.

"I didn't worry about being convicted." Xiao He said thoughtfully.

"So what? Do you really have a crush on that Hu man? Xiao Shi quipped.

Xiao He tilted his head, leaned back on the circle chair, and showed a ruffian, "I have a crush on his ancestor." ”

Xiao Shi laughed and said, "How can a dignified scholar be so vulgar, if Mu Churan sees you like this, he will definitely regret handing you in the first place." ”

Xiao He didn't care either, and when he talked to Xiao Shi, he didn't consciously have to hold a shelf, no longer pretend, just do whatever he wanted, and gradually find his own tone, just be comfortable.

After lunch, Du Nanzhu was clamoring to go to the East Market.

Mu Yunjing glanced at Xiao He and invited her to go with him, with a little expectation in his words. Xiao He responded, Hongzhu had already heard that she was now being punished by the emperor and thought about it behind closed doors, and was just about to say a reminder, but was stopped by Xiao He's eyes.

Before going out, Xiao Shi couldn't help but be a little worried that she was so swaggering through the market for fear that something would be wrong. Xiao He blinked, "The rich businessman you said last time has arrived in the imperial capital?" Xiao Shi counted the day, "It should have arrived a few days ago, you want to take advantage of this time?" ”

"Yes." Xiao He replied simply.

After half a pillar of incense, Xiao He came out of the house, wrapped a cloak, put his head on his head and said to Mu Yunjing and the others, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Shi saw her dressed like this, guessed a few points, only smiled and shook his head, not to break. The uninformed crowd only said something strange, but they couldn't say anything. Mu Yunjing didn't ask much, and went out with Du Nanzhu.

After leaving Xiao's Mansion, when crossing the alley, Xiao He took off his cloak, only tied a veil, wore his hair in a bun, and wore a plain skirt, choosing the lightest color among the red bead clothes. Although Mu Yunjing knew her daughter's body, she had never seen her pretend to be a woman, and she didn't know how to move after watching her stunned for a long time.

Xiao He only explained simply, "It's inconvenient for people to know that I'm going out now, this dress is just a change of clothes, don't care." ”

After their group went out of the main street, pedestrians on the side of the road inevitably cast their eyes and took a few more looks. Just because Mu Yunjing himself has the style of a noble son, and he wears regular clothes on him, which is also better than others, just looking at him has attracted many young women to stop and look forward to it. Although Xiao Shi next to him is an ordinary coarse cloth, his figure is straight, and his facial features are also extraordinary.

The most people point fingers, or Xiao He who wears a veil, although people can't see her appearance, but they are tied by her graceful posture, a pair of eyes exposed outside the veil, a glimpse of shock.

The person concerned didn't care at all at this time, and was already looking around, looking for gadgets on small vendors everywhere. Usually, when you are a man, you can't be too curious about things, but you can take the opportunity to see enough. Xiao Shi followed her, reminding her softly from time to time to pay attention to her manners.

There was a vaudeville troupe in the East Market, performing various programs, breaking boulders on the chest, swallowing swords and breathing fire, pedaling copper tripods and so on. There were a lot of people watching, and the crowd almost filled the shed supported by the troupe. Mu Yunjing pulled Du Nanzhu tightly, and Xiao Shi struggled to protect Xiao He's side.

Du Nanzhu had to squeeze to the front to see, and if she didn't pay attention, she let go and got into the crowd. Xiao He hurriedly asked Mu Yunjing to follow her, so as not to lose her, and then asked Xiao Shi to follow. Xiao Shi glanced at her, "I'm afraid that if I turn around, I'll lose you." ”

Xiao He squinted at him with disdain, "You just underestimate me like this, even if we get separated for a while, I will definitely be able to find you." ”

When Xiao Shi heard her say this, he didn't say much, turned his head and squeezed into the crowd to help find Du Nanzhu.

The performance was wonderful, and the audience applauded from time to time, and the applause was thunderous. At this time, another juggler came on the stage, and what appeared was the magic skill of flying knives. I saw that one person was tied to a wooden board, and the other person was holding a three-inch-long flying knife, and after saluting the audience with fists, there were three flashes of silver light.

On the opposite board, there were three clanging sounds, and the three throwing knives all landed on the board accurately, without hurting the man for half a minute. There was another round of applause and loud applause outside the venue.

Then the man took out a black cloth and blindfolded him.

Someone whispered, "That's amazing." "Indeed, this is the real kung fu."

Someone sweated for the kidnapped man. Just as everyone was holding their breath to watch this wonderful trick, the person who threw the flying knife threw the flying knife out with a flick of his hand, but it was not as the audience wished. The knife went straight into the head of the kidnapped man, and immediately the blood flowed like a pillar, and the man opened his eyes and died instantly.

The audience was suddenly chaotic, some people screamed, some people turned and fled, some people pushed and some people squeezed, like a torrent of opening the gates, and they all ran out of this small shed. No one can tell whether the person who threw the knife did it on purpose or if he was crazy, for fear that the next person to be stabbed would be himself. In order to save their lives, they sharpened their heads and drilled out, no matter who pushed or stepped on whom, just thinking about leaving this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Xiao He was so rushed by the crowd that she couldn't stand steadily, and she couldn't tell where Mu Yunjing and the others were, trying to go against the current, wanting to join them, but she was unconsciously pushed and pushed outside by the surging crowd.

At this time, she wanted to call them, but because of the noise and noise around her, people kept crying, and there was nothing she could do.

She sighed that she might as well find a quiet place outside, and then meet them when they came out. She was turning her head, but she felt a slight pinprick pain in the back of her neck, followed by a little numbness. She secretly said bad in her heart, and then the sky and earth lost color and fell into endless darkness.

After a while, the crowd dispersed, and Xiao Shi instructed Mu Yunjing to hurry up and take Du Nanzhu back first, and he went to find Xiao He himself.

He went back to the theater just now, and the jugglers in it had long since escaped, except for a warm corpse tied to a wooden board, which was dead and blind, with a silver shining flying knife in the center of his eyebrows, and the red tassels on the handle of the knife swayed gently, echoing the blood marks on the man's face, which looked extremely terrifying.

When he came out again, at the door, a boy of eight or nine years old handed him a veil.

He held it in his hand, and when he looked closely, it was Xiao Hedai's piece. He grabbed the child, "Who gave it to you?" The boy turned around and pointed, and around the corner of the street, a light-colored figure disappeared.

Xiao Shi chased after him, knowing that this was a trap, he did not hesitate.
